The Crematorium While Chasing an Alpha Was Intercepted by a Flirtatious Omega Senior Sister [Rebirth] 47

Chapter 47:

He Ziyu’s arrival was a surprise to Yan Qinghe. Both were children of prominent families. The Yan family was in business, and the He family held political power.

The mayor of H City, He Qijian, was He Ziyu’s father. In his early years, before becoming mayor, He Qijian had already held an important position in H City and had business dealings with Yan Manxing.

Because of this connection, He Ziyu and Yan Qinghe had played together a lot as children. Racing horses, playing cuju, gathering and playing… wherever Yan Qinghe was, He Ziyu was not far behind.

Once, when Yan Qinghe was a child, she had run away from home. Yan Manxing, thinking she would surely come back, hadn’t looked for her. She had wandered aimlessly through several cities. Just as she was about to run out of money, He Ziyu had found her.

She had thought she was there to take her back, but He Ziyu had smiled and said that it was boring at home, and she had come to keep her company. And so, they had wandered around, very freely.

Once, when He Ziyu was out alone, she had been cornered in a narrow alley by a criminal gang. Yan Qinghe had passed by and saved her.

From then on, He Ziyu had treated Yan Qinghe as a friend, telling her everything.

Later, Yan Qinghe had fallen in love with Ji Qianqian, especially after differentiating into an alpha. She had revolved around Ji Qianqian, and He Ziyu had invited her several times, but she had never been able to make it. The two had grown a little distant.

In recent years, He Qijian had retreated behind the scenes, planning and gradually letting He Ziyu take over his power. He Ziyu had gradually become a rising star in H City’s political scene.

The princess of the He family, in a politician’s suit, had transformed into Secretary-General He. Although she was He Qijian’s secretary, everyone knew that in the next step, she would be sitting in He Qijian’s seat.

The He family’s intricate political connections also made them a special existence, implicitly on par with the four great families. They were the most sought-after partners for merchants, and no one could afford to offend them.

In H City’s high-level power structure, if the He family claimed to be second, no one would claim to be first.
The Yan Corporation and H City’s high-level officials had a close cooperation. The latter had a large demand for R7 and signed orders every year, purchasing a large number of special R7 models for military and high-level use.

Yan Qinghe was at the company when she heard that He Ziyu was coming for an inspection. It was a bit unexpected. Her impression of He Ziyu was still from her past life.

As the saying goes, a prodigy in childhood is not necessarily a prodigy in adulthood. He Ziyu had been a mischievous child, but in high school, she had thrown herself into her studies, gone abroad for further education, and within two years of her return, she had gained the attention of her father, He Qijian. This was both amazing and puzzling.

Some said that Mayor He had gone senile in his old age, abandoning his S-class alpha eldest son and choosing his beta second daughter as his heir. Not to mention that his eldest son had been a prodigy since he was a child, and his second daughter had been a playful child. Just from their gender, she was already at a disadvantage.

Alphas and omegas were superior to ordinary betas in both physical and mental strength. Therefore, alphas generally sought to marry omegas to pass on their excellent genes.

Not to mention, the low fertility rate of betas made omegas even more sought-after by the prominent families. The higher the level of an omega, the more likely they were to be taken in by a prestigious family. In ancient times, it would have required a heavy dowry and an eight-person sedan chair to marry one.

For hundreds of years, the default rule had gradually… solidified the class structure. Betas were mostly commoners, and their descendants were also commoners. If a beta family gave birth to an alpha or an omega, it was like a golden phoenix emerging from a mud nest.

In addition, the high fertility rate of omegas also made many alphas choose to marry omegas first. Among them, S-class omegas were the rarest.

In Yan Qinghe’s impression, only Xi Zhaowan was an S-class omega. After the Zhao family’s internal strife and loss of power, Xi Zhaowan had lost her protection and had been taken in by the Yan family. Only then had she not been snatched away by the red-eyed high-level officials and other prominent families.

One must be strong to forge iron. The scientific research talent and business acumen that Xi Zhaowan had shown after coming of age had made others give up their ideas. Only then had she been able to remain unmarried at the age of thirty-three, with a line of suitors at her door.

In comparison, for Mu Sixue to be able to sit in the same position as Xi Zhaowan, with a beta background, could no longer be described as talented; it was terrifyingly outstanding.

He Ziyu was the same. As a beta, she had been able to obtain He Qijian’s position of power and become an existence that even the He family’s think tank submitted to. There must be something special about her.

Upon learning of the high-level inspection from H City, the Yan Corporation had put on a full display of readiness. It was a default rule among the four great families to rather offend a peer than a high-level official.

The wars in the business world were just fights within their own circle, using financial means. But when it came to politics, the means were much dirtier. You might not even know how you died.

During the meeting, Mu Sixue was sitting across from her. Looking at her beautiful face and the clean skin on the back of her neck, she was a little dazed.

Yan Qinghe looked up at Mu Sixue. When President Mu was speaking at the meeting, no one else made a sound. Everyone was looking at her, quietly listening to her explanation. In just a few short days, Mu Sixue had already found all the loopholes in the Yan Corporation and analyzed them clearly. Every point she made was constructive and practical.

It was in such a situation that He Ziyu had made a surprise inspection. She was followed by a line of government officials in suits, with folders under their arms. Bodyguards in sunglasses followed behind her, like a gangster.

“Qinghe, long time no see.” He Ziyu opened her arms, wanting to give Yan Qinghe a big hug. Yan Qinghe turned it into a handshake. “Ziyu, long time no see.”

He Ziyu raised an eyebrow discreetly, then looked around. Amidst the greetings of everyone standing up, she nodded politely in response.

She had a pair of smiling peach-blossom eyes, medium-length hair, and silver-rimmed glasses. Her aura was approachable. She was wearing a plain gray business suit. The people behind her looked more glamorous than she did.

But she stood at the front, and with just a slight smile, she had an indescribable charm that was convincing.

When she had entered the Yan Corporation, she had already told the front desk not to disturb them, so as to give Yan Qinghe a surprise “joy.”

Before pushing open the conference room door, she had already noticed that Yan Qinghe’s gaze was fixed on a certain spot with a lingering tenderness. This had aroused her curiosity. Besides the great Miss Ji of the Ji family, who else could hold her childhood friend’s attention for so long?

She could only see the woman’s back, her figure graceful and elegant, not like the bright and flamboyant great Miss Ji she remembered. Could it be a princess from a prominent family, interning at the Yan Corporation?

When she saw her face, her bright eyes and teeth, her cool and otherworldly beauty, she was stunned. She looked her up and down, thinking she was overthinking.

She silently suppressed her doubts and said with a smile at the meeting, “I didn’t know you were in a meeting. Just think of me as a friend visiting. You can continue. Don’t mind me.”

She sat down with a swagger, rubbing her fingers, a smile on her lips. She seemed not to have seen Mu Sixue’s light glance.

Mu Sixue had frowned the moment He Ziyu had entered. This person looked so familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

“Is she He Ziyu? A beta?” Mu Sixue sent a text message.

Yan Qinghe’s phone was on silent, but she had set a special notification for Mu Sixue. Her screen lit up.

Yan Qinghe pursed her lips. Her senior rarely showed interest in people, or rather, she rarely showed extra interest in anyone other than her.

She pressed the virtual keys heavily, one by one, her words as precious as gold. “Yes.”
