Scum A with a Sweet Black Lotus O – Chapter 7
by Little PandaThe overbearing Alpha falls in love with me (bushi)
(Bushi is a playful expression used online to negate or soften a statement, often indicating humor or sarcasm).
“Have you heard? The new person parachuted into the department today has quite the impressive background…”
“I found out, it’s a female Alpha, surname Fu, Director Fu.”
“That surname… A relative of the big boss?”
“What relative? She’s the Crown Princess! Though there’s an older sister ahead of her, who’s also an Alpha and very capable, so she won’t inherit the ‘throne.’ But being a ‘free prince’ isn’t bad either…”
“Wocao!!!”
The office door was slightly ajar. Fu Chaoyun sat in the boss chair, faintly hearing the discussions across the room, along with the very noticeable sounds of gasping even though they tried to suppress it.
Sssss.
On her first day at work, Fu Chaoyun couldn’t help but complain, “Is this company raising a bunch of cobras?”
γStay calm.γ The system comforted her. γAfter all, plots where the overbearing CEO falls in love, even though they’re overdone in films and TV, are still quite rare in real life.γ
“…”
γAnd you look just like some people’s fantasy.γ
Fu Chaoyun glanced at it, retorting, “Should I thank you for the compliment?”
γOh, supporting each other, no need to be polite.γ
“⦔
Fu Chaoyun was complaining, yet she didn’t feel much impatience, as if this kind of thing had happened countless times before.
Maybe the body she had before she transmigrated was also quite good-looking.
Fu Chaoyun quickly ignored those voices and looked around.
The office layout was fairly standard, simple and bright, with large floor-to-ceiling windows adorned with greenery. It was just that the few posters on the wall were a bit flashy.
But it also suited the entertainment agency’s style.
“I really don’t know what Mrs. Fu is thinking.”
Fu Chaoyun said, “Knowing this body is a scoundrel, sending me to a beauty-filled entertainment company is like sending a lamb into a tiger’s den.”
Suddenly, it seemed like when the system said the Fu family was βhelping a tyrant do evilβ and βdeserves punishment,β there wasn’t much wrong with that.
System: γBe bold, maybe they think if you see too many beauties, you’ll get tired of them and won’t be such a scoundrel.γ
“Well, they really have confidence in me, haven’t they considered that I might not be able to control myself?”
The system replied with a ghostly tone: γWhen you feel you can’t control yourself, just think about your kidneys.γ
Fu Chaoyun: “…”
Why can even you roast me now?
γNo choice.γ The system sighed too, γAfter seeing how you interact with your family yesterday, I really felt it.γ
“Don’t learn the bad stuff and ignore the good!” Fu Chaoyun quickly stopped the system’s dangerous thoughts.
Mrs. Fu naturally didn’t send her here for pleasure; currently, Fu Chaoyun was in the variety show department of Xingdong.
Upon hearing the news, Fu Chaoyun breathed a sigh of reliefβthankfully, there wasn’t any plot like “To save the Fu family, she decides to debut as an idol!”
The system mused, γThat actually sounds kind of nice?γ
Fu Chaoyun: “?”
The system sighed again, γBut I’m worried you’ll start shipping with the fans.γ
Fu Chaoyun’s face turned cold, “If you keep talking, I’ll go down with you, and let this world be destroyed, whatever!”
γ…γ The system was truly subdued and immediately chose to keep quiet.
On the first day on the job, Fu Chaoyun was initially worried about adapting to work, but soon realized she was overthinking it.
As the director of the variety show department, her role really only involved the “director” title. She didn’t know what other directors did, but she only needed to sign off on documents presented to her.
At first, Fu Chaoyun would carefully review the contents of the documents. Later, she noticed that the person standing by her side got quite nervous when she looked down, as if she might make some “I want a colorful black” (implying an impossible or contradictory request) type of amateurish demands. To spare them both the torture, she stopped looking and just signed off with a flourish.
At that moment, she even heard the person beside her exhale heavily.
“⦔
That was a bit too obvious.
Fu Chaoyun pretended not to hear it; after all, the document would be reviewed by higher-ups later, and she was only responsible for signing.
Her handwriting was really nice. The three characters of “Fu Chaoyun” were written in a light, free-flowing cursive style. Honestly, Fu Chaoyun was gradually getting a bit addicted to the feeling of signing with a flourish.
After signing a stack of documents, Fu Chaoyun, still wanting more, asked, “Any more?”
Colleague: “⦔
Before 10 AM, Fu Chaoyun had already finished her day’s work. Left with nothing to do, Fu Chaoyun started downloading games.
I must say, the office internet speed was really fast!
Fu Chaoyun remarked, “Working like this is quite relaxing, huh.”
γ…γ
When the system first arrived, it was cheering her on with phrases like “Workers are the soul of work, those who work hard are the top dogs,” and “Go for it! Your 996007 (a play on the demanding work schedule of 9 AM to 9 PM, six days a week, plus extra hours) is all for better protecting the female lead”β¦
Now it could only sigh: γAlas, being a CEO is truly just a side gig for the protagonist.γ
While the game was installing, Fu Chaoyun felt a bit thirsty. She thought about asking the secretary for a glass of water, but when she looked up, she saw everyone was busy.
Fu Chaoyun, perfectly capable, went to the break room herself.
A moment later.
“Oh no~”
A junior manager from the department happened to be at the door. As they pushed it open, they saw one of their employees apologizing to another.
“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean it, I’m just so clumsy, sob sobβ¦ Director Fu, how about you take off your clothes and I’ll wash them and return them to you⦔
The junior manager was startled, and just then, the person turned their head towards the sound of the door opening. It was the newly appointed “royal relative,” Director Fu!
As an Alpha, Fu Chaoyun’s appearance and demeanor were top-notch. Coupled with her family background, just standing there silently was enough to attract countless Omegas and even Betas.
Today, she was dressed in work attire, simple in style yet intricately designed, giving off a relaxed vibe. However, at this moment, the front of her white shirt had a conspicuous brown stain, making it very noticeable.
Given the situation, what was there for the junior manager not to understand?
Clearly, this Omega learned about the new director’s family background and had other intentions.
Spilling coffee, offering to wash clothesβ¦ wasn’t this just a way to get close!
The system was watching the drama unfold: γOh ho~ is the plot of γThe Clumsy Omega and the Overbearing Alphaγ actually happening?γ
Fu Chaoyun ignored it and looked at the junior manager, “Do you know him?”
Yes, the one who bumped into Fu Chaoyun was a male Omega.
The junior manager cursed this scheming tea Omega countless times in her mind. It was only the first day, and they hadn’t even figured out the new director’s personality, yet this happenedβ¦
But she had to step in and clean up the mess, “Director Fu, he happens to work under me.”
Fu Chaoyun raised an eyebrow slightly.
She had a face that was boldly and recklessly attractive, almost aggressively so. Even with her shirt still dirty, any casual movement she made was dazzlingly charming.
“Is he usually that… careless at work?”
“Well…”
The junior manager didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
Only then did Fu Chaoyun turn to look at the Omega.
Due to natural tendencies, most Omegas are relatively delicate. Fu Chaoyun, as a female Alpha, stands barefoot at 175 cm, but the male Omega in front of her seemed to be about half a head shorter, making Fu Chaoyun need to slightly look down when addressing him.
“What do you have to say for yourself?”
The male Omega, initially with his head down, bit his lip. When he looked up, his eyes were already red, looking as if he was about to cry.
“I’m sorry, Director. I’m just too clumsy, I didn’t do well, sob sob…”
Fu Chaoyun let out a light sigh, “Don’t cry.” Her voice was gentle, “Everyone has things they’re not good at.”
Hearing her comforting words, the Omega started sobbing even louder. At this point, Fu Chaoyun didn’t try to console him further and instead looked at the junior manager.
“I think he might not be suited for his current job.”
Omega: “Sob sob… huh?”
Fu Chaoyun continued with a “tender-hearted” demeanor, “He’s careless with tasks. His current position is likely a clerical job, right?”
“Yes.”
The junior manager began to understand as well. A careless person in a clerical role, where even one wrong character isn’t acceptable…
“Director Fu, do you mean to dismiss him?”
The Omega was confused, wondering how trying to create an accidental spill ended up threatening his stable job…
Fu Chaoyun glanced at the junior manager, surprised, “It’s not that serious. Just because he spilled coffee on the director doesn’t mean he should be fired. That wouldn’t reflect well on the company, would it?”
The junior manager looked at the brown stain on Fu Chaoyun’s clothes.
Redefining “covered in it.”
The Omega’s hope reignited, and then he heard Fu Chaoyun continue.
“Just transfer him to a different position.”
The junior manager felt completely out of sync with Fu Chaoyun’s thinking, “Director Fu, where do you plan to transfer him?”
Fu Chaoyun thought for a moment, “The cleaning department?”
“The company can’t discriminate against colleagues who aren’t as sharp.”
“Al-alright…”
The junior manager was in a daze, “I’ll report it to the higher-ups and say it was your decision.”
The Omega was also in a daze.
His job was secure, but going to the cleaning department… is that really a place for a proper Omega to be?!
“Oh, right.”
Before leaving, Fu Chaoyun added, “Deduct the cleaning fee for my clothes directly from his salary this month, and have HR transfer it to my account.”
“Al-alright…”
Leaving the break room, Fu Chaoyun called her family butler to bring her another set of clothes.
Her mood wasn’t affected at all.
Normally, her living expenses were covered by her family, so having the compensation transferred to her account meant she was getting extra money for nothing, which made her very pleased.
The system looked at her, wanting to speak but hesitating.
“I know what you want to say,” Fu Chaoyun said. “This department can only have one person slacking offβand that’s me!”
Everyone else should go and earn money for her; she’s the cold-blooded capitalist now!
System: γ…γ
“Besides, that Omega isn’t really good-looking. Dating him would feel like I’m doing charity work.”
γWhat kind do you like then?γ the system asked.
A figure instantly popped into Fu Chaoyun’s mind, “At least someone at Pei Xuezhi’s level.”
γ…γ
Pei Xuezhi, being the female lead in this world, naturally had fortune on her side. Not to mention her added aura, her face alone was unmatched by many in the entire Rong City.
After a moment of silence, the system responded: γThen you might as well stay single.γ
Fu Chaoyun: “…”
“If you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all.”
γSizzle sizzle sizzle.γ
It sounded like some kind of electrical short-circuit.
β?β
γSorry, your system has crashed. Sorry…γ
Fu Chaoyun: “…” System, do you think you’re being funny or something?
A rumor spread through the Xingdong Entertainment variety departmentβ
The new Director Fu is like a crown princess. She doesn’t like foolish people; instead, she likes smart, capable people… ideally those who are outstanding and shine brilliantly.
As a result, everyone at Xingdong is striving to become someone Director Fu would like!
Ah~ Today is another day full of (extra) energy (work) and (sudden) exhaustion (death)!
LMAO

Capitalist Fuβ¦please work hard as well. How will you buy baby formula in the future? π
