Damn it, I'm surrounded by insane Alphas!

We've reached the top floor.

The elevator doors slid open silently, and a strong, oppressive scent of cold cedar wafted out.

Shi Ran paused, her neck glands clenching involuntarily.

In the instance, he was a Beta, with an insensitive perception of pheromones, only knowing that Gu Chen was an S-level Alpha.

Very strong, just how strong?

I had to rely on the horrified expressions and exaggerated descriptions of the people around me to fill in the gaps in my memory.

Now that I have regained my Omega glands, it finally feels real.

He couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the back of his neck.

The alphas in the dungeon all had a quirk: because they were betas and couldn't be marked, they would bite each time they did it.

It bit deep and hard, mimicking a mark, as if it wanted to tear him apart and devour him.

Now that he actually has glands, he's going to play me to death.

Wang Cheng, standing in front of him, knocked on the door of the president's office without changing his expression.

"Enter."

Gu Chen's voice came from inside, as indifferent as ever, revealing no emotion.

Gu Chen sat behind his large desk, his gaze fixed on the computer screen.

Wang Cheng respectfully reported, "President Gu, Assistant Shi has arrived."

Gu Chen didn't even lift his eyelids, as if he were dealing with some extremely urgent matter.

Only he knew that the reports on the screen had long since become a blurry mosaic.

The fig scent pheromones emanating from Shi Ran were sweet and alluring, like tiny hooks burrowing into his nostrils.

Wang Cheng tactfully turned to Shi Ran: "Assistant Shi, your workstation is over here."

He led Shi Ran to a corner of the office.

Suddenly, when I looked up, my heart, which was half dead, was completely dead.

That can't be called an office at all; it's practically a glass display case.

If you give him an ambiguous purple light, he'll immediately start broadcasting and doing a sweeping leg dance.

His "office" has a completely transparent glass wall, and it's just the right size to fit a table, a chair, and a computer.

Above the glass partition, there was a rather unobtrusive camera, flashing a faint red light.

well.

Upgraded version of the canary cage.

Wang Cheng gave a few instructions and then left, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

Shi Ran sat down helplessly in the small glass cubicle.

He tried to ignore Gu Chen's presence, but the man's pheromones were everywhere.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen finally pretended to have finished processing the report and casually glanced up.

My gaze fell precisely on the monitor screen.

The screen was divided into several sections, the largest of which clearly reflected the scene inside the glass partition.

Shi Ran was facing the computer screen, her brows slightly furrowed, her fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the desktop.

This is a small gesture he often makes when he's thinking.

Gu Chen watched as he picked up the water beside him again, and habitually puffed out his cheeks when he drank it.

Every subtle, almost instinctive habit matches up.

It was him, one in a thousand, he definitely didn't mistake him for someone else.

Why?

Why did he frantically search for Shi Ran after waking up from the car accident, only to be told "no such person"?

It seemed as if Shi Ran was just a ridiculous delusion he had during his illness.

And now, this person has not only appeared out of thin air, but has also transformed into an Omega?

What exactly happened...?

Gu Chen's gaze was fixed intently on the figure on the screen.

Confusion, inquiry, and a hint of suppressed, almost bursting possessiveness.

It's okay, they'll have plenty of time later.

in the afternoon.

The only sound in the office was the cold tapping of keyboards.

Shi Ran gently opened the glass door and walked out with the documents in her hand.

"Mr. Gu? Assistant Wang said there's a contract here that you need to sign."

Gu Chen looked up and saw him spread the contract out in front of him.

The pages were neatly turned, with bright fluorescent labels on the key signature areas, and a pen with its cap unscrewed lay quietly beside them.

Gu Chen wanted to say that it was alright and that he got the hang of it quickly.

But once it rolls on the tip of the tongue, the words that come out become sarcastic and strange.

"Tsk, still so good at serving people."

Shi Ran's fingers tightened around the edge of the folder. This man was truly... unable to utter a single decent word!

Gu Chen's Adam's apple bobbed as he tried to salvage the situation: "You've put a lot of effort into this."

Because of the overly harsh tone, the attempt to explain only made things worse.

Shi Ran took a deep breath, not getting angry. What's wrong with scolding herself a couple of times for her social security and housing fund contributions?

Gu Chen coughed softly and changed the subject, saying, "Come to my house tonight."

Shi Ran was taken aback and blurted out, "Huh? Mr. Gu, isn't this a bit inappropriate..."

That's a different price, damn it!

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow with amusement: "A few friends are coming to my house tonight to discuss some business, and we need someone to serve tea and water."

His gaze swept over Shi Ran. "What do you think?"

I thought, I fucking thought you were going to sleep with me.

Suddenly, a single glare could kill.

In the dungeon, Gu Chen later took to teasing him, and this was his reaction when Gu Chen teased him too hard.

Gu Chen was glared at by that familiar gaze, but instead of getting angry, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He himself felt it was a bit cheap, but men are all cheap.

Gu Chen's mood inexplicably improved, and with a wave of his hand, a black card slid in front of Shi Ran.

"Be there before eight o'clock, and make sure you look presentable. SpongeBob isn't welcome in my house."

Shi Ran stared speechlessly at the person in front of her, inwardly cursing the Gu family's ancestors for eight generations.

Gu Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, leaning back in his chair. "Is there a problem?"

You're really faking it. How come I never noticed how good you were at faking it in dungeons before?

Shi Ran took the card while cursing under his breath. Capitalists! Evil capitalism!

When I got to the mall after get off work, the card reader beeped and the screen showed my balance: 300,000.00.

Three hundred thousand?

Suddenly, the sun shines brightly, and spring is in full bloom.

Mr. Gu? Who is Mr. Gu? He's a walking God of Wealth! The perfect sugar daddy.

As he was thinking, a WeChat friend request suddenly popped up on his phone.

The profile picture was too dark to see clearly, but the name was quite straightforward.

Gu Chen

He was beholden to the man who had accepted the bribe, and immediately scurried over the approval.

A message came in: "Approved instantly?"

Shi Ran replied with a fawning emoji.

[Mr. Gu's application was approved instantly, of course; you're our big spender.]

There was a pause of a few seconds before a reply came back.

Besides money, what else do you care about?

That's a really clever question. No matter how hard Ren Shiran thought about it, she couldn't come up with an answer. Gu Chen really wanted to get one.

To him, this was a blatant mockery of his materialism.

So what if he's materialistic? He can use the money to treat his mother's illness. Forget about a few kind words; even if he were to sleep with Gu Chen again...

Why does it sound like you're rewarding yourself?

Shi Ran replied confidently, "Shares are fine too."

There was no sound from the other end. Shi Ran then transferred all 300,000 yuan to her mother's account.

I only kept two thousand yuan to buy a few discounted designer items at the outlet store.

Fortunately, his core build is consistent, and he can pull it off with his character model, even if it's an outlet item, he can still exude a sense of old-money luxury.

After sweeping through the store, he couldn't help but think smugly, "I've already earned 300,000 on my first day on the job! How far away can 3 million be?!"

As long as Gu Chen is well taken care of and he earns more gold coins, Mom can continue receiving treatment.

The future is bright!

It's so bright!
