Chapter 5 [Stimulated by the Little Beast’s Pheromones]
Zhou She’s face darkened, very dissatisfied with the disrespectful way Xing Lie was speaking to You Yuanyuan. But as a subordinate, he didn’t dare clash with Xing Lie directly.
Who would have thought Xing Lie would say something even more excessive? He leaned back, looked at You Yuanyuan, and maliciously teased, “I almost forgot you didn’t like Omegas. Though it’s also possible you feel Omegas are much easier to conquer.”
He anticipated You Yuanyuan flying into a rage, followed by glaring at him coldly with a look reserved for dogs. Ah, how incredibly satisfying that would feel. It would make his hatred for You Yuanyuan even purer.
Instead, Xing Lie saw the tips of You Yuanyuan’s ears turn red. Those eyes, originally cold and distant, now seemed veiled by a layer of mist. Astoundingly, his expression was no longer high and mighty; it carried a gentle sense of forbearance.
Xing Lie was left speechless, forgetting whatever he was about to say next.
Zhou She blocked Xing Lie’s line of sight for the third time and couldn’t help but say, “Xing Zong, you should refrain from speaking to You Ye so disrespectfully. You Ye is broad-minded and doesn’t like to bicker with his juniors. However, that does not mean You Ye will tolerate this time and time again.”
For once, Xing Lie didn’t continue speaking. Frowning, he turned his head away. It felt like punching cotton—completely unsatisfying. It was as if some unknown force had suppressed his rebelliousness, forcing him to forcefully hold it all back in.
Just as everyone was in an uproar, unable to believe that an Omega had genuinely come to interview, a slender Omega actually walked out from the crowd.
Everyone’s eyes widened like dogs, staring unblinkingly at this Omega. They looked him up and down—slender build, small frame, fair-skinned, and quite good-looking.
You Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up slightly. This Omega was quite bold. He had thrown out an olive branch, and the Omega actually dared to take it. He tried his best to suppress the flushed heat within his body, holding on to finish this interview before leaving.
The Omega hadn’t brought a resume.
You Yuanyuan asked directly, “What is your name?”
Zhou She bumped his shoulder and whispered in his ear, “You Ye, this is the younger brother of your arch-enemy, Ji Ru.”
You Yuanyuan was slightly taken aback. Arch-enemy? The younger brother?
This younger brother looked very fair and clean, refined and gentle; he looked exactly like the type who excelled academically. Moreover, he was very confident—standing under the scrutinizing gaze of the crowd without a hint of nervousness.
Sure enough, the Omega said, “You Ye, my name is Ji Ru. You’ve met me before.”
He then added, “It’s fine, noble people are often forgetful. I’m not a person of great importance anyway, no need for you to trouble your mind.”
You Yuanyuan awkwardly wanted to use a smile to ease the tension, but Zhou She seemed to predict the expression he was about to make. He hastily lowered his voice and said, “Don’t smile, maintain this cold expression, hold up your persona, You Ye.”
Thus, You Yuanyuan immediately held up his persona and said coldly, “Height?”
Under the watchful eyes of the public and the looking-down gaze of Alphas and Betas who averaged over 1.8 meters, Ji Ru answered without stage fright, “1.7 meters.”
As expected, the entire hall laughed.
Someone said, “With that small frame, what kind of bodyguard can he be? It makes more sense for someone else to protect him.”
You Yuanyuan did not laugh. He said, “Not bad.”
Ji Ru hadn’t felt unnatural when others laughed at him, but being affirmed by You Yuanyuan made his face look slightly unnatural.
“Pheromone grade?” You Yuanyuan asked.
Ji Ru: “A-grade.”
“Age,” You Yuanyuan asked.
Ji Ru: “22 years old.”
“Which university did you graduate from?”
Ji Ru: “Dongcheng University, graduated with a major in Financial Management.”
Someone nearby laughed again, “What’s a Financial Management major doing applying to be a bodyguard? Isn’t this crossing industries and stealing jobs?”
To everyone’s surprise, You Yuanyuan once again gave a positive evaluation: “Not bad.”
At this, those people felt too embarrassed to keep laughing.
You Yuanyuan asked again, “Do you know what a bodyguard does?”
Ji Ru: “I do. It is someone hired to protect people. Shenyuan Security Group’s core principle is—Guarantee protection for every employment.”
You Yuanyuan: “Then do you know why security companies don’t recruit Omegas?”
Ji Ru: “I know. Because Omegas are inherently soft and delicate; they are only suited to be protected, not to protect others. Due to their poor stamina and weak constitution, their physical fitness is lacking. They also have a seven-day heat period every month, which affects the normal execution of missions.”
“Then why do you dare to come for an interview?” You Yuanyuan asked.
Ji Ru showed no fear. “Because you dare to recruit.”
Zhou She felt this made perfect sense. But then he sat up straight again.
You Yuanyuan’s cold eyes held a hint of satisfaction. He asked again, “But to be a bodyguard, you must first undergo a five-month entry training program. This training is extremely brutal. Are you certain you can endure it?”
This time, Ji Ru didn’t answer as forcefully as before. After hesitating for a few seconds, he said, “I am certain.”
Instantly, the surrounding Alphas and Betas gasped in shock.
This really was a case of one daring to recruit, and the other daring to come.
An Omega acting as a bodyguard—truly unheard of. You Ye was definitely playing some new kind of game.
However, they still didn’t believe this Omega could successfully persevere through the entry training. Rumor had it that Shenyuan Security Company’s entry training was exceedingly cruel. Out of the approximately one hundred people recruited each year, fewer than ten managed to pass by the end of the training.
On what grounds could an Omega become one of those qualified few? Where would that leave the face of all these Alphas and Betas?
Absolutely impossible!
An Omega absolutely could not endure it.
You Yuanyuan: “Alright, final question. I dare to recruit you, but does your brother dare to let you go?”
Some people became curious, “Who is his brother?”
“Is he very powerful?”
“Even You Ye knows about his brother.”
“Then he must be a very formidable figure.”
Ji Ru felt a bit guilty, but he still straightened his back and said, “I’m already 22; he can’t control me.”
“But I am your brother’s arch-enemy,” You Yuanyuan stated.
Ji Ru: “I know, it doesn’t matter. My elbows bend outward anyway.”
Zhou She was utterly prostrate in admiration. What a good younger brother Ji Jiayou has. In order to become a bodyguard at Shenyuan Company, he even dares to betray his own brother.
You Yuanyuan was struggling to hold on. Strongly affected by Xing Lie’s pheromones, his body was running a burning fever. He said, “Alright, report for duty the day after tomorrow.”
After saying that, he turned, pushed open the back door, and left.
Ji Ru hadn’t reacted yet, but when he finally did, he was ecstatic, grabbing Zhou She’s hand. “What did You Ye say? Did he say I can report for duty?!”
“Yes, yes, yes, yes!” Zhou She yanked his hand back.
The surrounding people truly couldn’t help but show expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred. Damn it, talk about an eye-opener today. An Omega actually dared to interview to be a bodyguard!
Xing Lie directed a dangerous gaze at the thrilled Ji Ru, his eyes seemingly trying to tear this Omega to shreds. An Omega was actually recruited into the company.
He wasn’t even particularly good-looking, and he was the younger brother of You Yuanyuan’s arch-enemy.
Had You Yuanyuan gone insane?
Was keeping a wolf by his side not enough? Did he need to seek out some bizarre new tastes?
Xing Lie only needed to release a bit of his pheromones, and the pain would force this Omega to his knees begging for mercy.
Suddenly, the crowd parted, creating a path. A tall man with a gloomy expression strode over, his entire being exuding the powerful aura unique to top-tier Alphas. The oppressive presence caused the surrounding people to cautiously make way.
He was exceedingly handsome, with heroic eyebrows and a high, broad nose bridge. Around thirty-something, he carried the charm of a mature man. Standing in the crowd, he was remarkably eye-catching.
“Ji Ru, you’re growing bolder and bolder,” he said, suppressing his anger.
The surrounding people suddenly saw the light. “Ji Jiayou is this little Omega’s older brother!”
“Ji Jiayou is the CEO of Anyou Security Company. He’s a top-tier Alpha! He even fought You Ye to a draw once!”
“In terms of comprehensive strength, You Ye is still stronger.”
“You Ye is my idol!”
Ji Jiayou ignored these people’s remarks. Glaring at Ji Ru, he signaled for him to hurry up and roll over here.
His own younger brother going to his arch-enemy’s company—if word got out, he’d lose every shred of his face. That bastard You Yuanyuan, actually daring to recruit an Omega. And the one he recruited was his brother, of all people. He must be out of his mind.
Ji Ru was panicking. He understood Ji Jiayou; if persuasion failed, he would release his suppressive pheromones, which would feel worse than death.
Ji Ru’s mind raced, remembering that You Ye had just left through the back door. Consequently, right before Ji Jiayou released his S-grade suppressive pheromones, he slipped away. Running faster than a reincarnating ghost, he vanished into the crowd.
Sure enough, the very next second, Ji Jiayou explosively unleashed his S-grade pheromones. It was the scent of Forest Mountain Cedar—a piercing, woody aroma that was dry, burning hot, and mixed with a faint hint of grass. With lightning speed, it pierced into the nerves of the surrounding people, seeping into every pore.
Instantly, the surrounding Alphas felt so much pain they almost threw up.
The Betas were slightly better off, as they basically couldn’t smell pheromones. However, the sheer pressure of S-grade Alpha pheromones still affected them.
Everyone rapidly activated their pheromone barriers, yet those overwhelmingly powerful pheromones still managed to puncture through like needles.
This was the terrifyingly fierce pheromone of a top-tier Alpha. Even if he was a defeated opponent of You Yuanyuan, he was still far beyond the resistance of these ordinary Alphas.
Xing Lie rapidly deployed his pheromone barrier, successfully blocking out all of Ji Jiayou’s S-grade pheromones. Intensely displeased, his brows were filled with hostility.
For a top-tier Alpha to release S-grade pheromones in front of another top-tier Alpha was a blatant provocation.
Ji Jiayou stared at Xing Lie with falcon-like eyes and asked, “Where is You Yuanyuan?”
At this question, Zhou She suddenly realized that You Yuanyuan had disappeared at some point!
Xing Lie’s thick eyebrows shot up, his eyes holding a tyrannical gloom. Motherfucker, I’m not You Yuanyuan’s dog, keeping an eye on him 24/7.
Thus, he too unleashed his S-grade Glass Wood pheromones, sweeping through the surroundings with powerful and rapid force.
Dragging out his words in a teasing drawl, he said, “Him? He has frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete voiding, so he went to the restroom.”
At this moment, Zhou She didn’t have the time to bicker with this disrespectful bastard, though he also figured You Yuanyuan had likely gone to the restroom. But You Yuanyuan was currently an Omega—and a top-tier Omega possessing lethally alluring S-grade pheromones at that. To walk past so many Alphas, it was far too dangerous.
The slightest moment of carelessness would expose his precious scent gland and leak those seductive pheromones. Even though he was the formidable You Ye, he couldn’t possibly withstand being surrounded and coveted by so many Alphas who had lost their minds.
Wouldn’t that be like a lamb falling into a pack of wolves, devoured until not even the bones remained?!
Zhou She didn’t dare think about it any further. Reaching up, he slapped himself in the face. Damn it all, how could I fail to keep a close watch!
Burning with anxiety, he practically scrambled out the back door to find You Yuanyuan in the restroom.
Ji Jiayou was affected by Xing Lie’s rabid dog-like pheromones. The little wolf cub You Yuanyuan kept by his side was growing more and more formidable; he didn’t believe You Yuanyuan would be able to subdue him.
Immediately, he followed Zhou She out the back door toward the restroom to find You Yuanyuan. He would not agree to You Yuanyuan taking his Omega brother to be trained as a bodyguard; he’d likely be thrown back half-dead. You Yuanyuan was purely acting out of revenge.
Xing Lie let out a soft, mocking scoff through his nose.
Although the two’s pheromones were no longer actively wrestling, they had already spread to every corner of the hall. The surrounding people endured the discomfort and continued the interviews.
Suddenly, Xing Lie’s peripheral vision sharply captured a familiar silhouette in the smoking area diagonally to the right.
You Yuanyuan?
What was a person who didn’t smoke doing inside there?
The smoking area consisted of three independent smoking rooms, all equipped with glass doors. The interiors were enclosed spaces featuring air purification circulation systems designed to filter and clean the smell of smoke.
At this moment, You Yuanyuan was inside the smoking room, using the air purification circulation system to completely filter out Xing Lie’s lingering Glass Wood pheromones from his body. Finally, he no longer felt flushed with heat and shame.
The moment he opened the door, he was struck by the two powerful streams of suppressive S-grade Alpha pheromones, causing severe pain all over his body. He slammed the door shut again and turned on the purification system to filter the air.
He had to maintain the pretense of smoking, otherwise, people would notice his abnormality.
He had only been gone for a moment; how had Xing Lie’s and Ji Jiayou’s pheromones ended up clashing together?
Before You Yuanyuan could think much further, he turned around and saw Xing Lie walking toward the smoking area. He remembered Zhou She mentioning that Xing Lie occasionally had heavy cravings for cigarettes. Was he coming to smoke right now?
Hopefully so.
But You Yuanyuan prepared two backup plans. He estimated the distance from this smoking room to the main entrance. With his swift running speed, combined with his tolerance for Alpha pheromones, he could run out in 30 seconds.
Fortunately, he had called Lao Huang in advance to bring the car to the entrance. As long as he ran out, he could immediately get in the car.
Sure enough, Xing Lie hadn’t come to smoke; he was heading straight in his direction.
You Yuanyuan activated his second plan—open the door, endure, and run!
However, the moment he ran out, he heard an automated prompt from the smoking room: “Hello, please pay!”
“Hello, please pay!”
“Hello, please pay…”
