My CEO Harem Cultivation System

Regardless of whatever his brother had done or not, Li Yang paid much less heed to it. It was finally time for him to go. This might have been the opportune time to confront his brother—but with all the surrounding people, Li Yang decided not to. It would only make a scene. Instead, the CEO finished his drink and thanked Miss Luo Ju Di. "I will be going now."

She blinked and received the glass, "Ah, we've already bothered you for far too long. Thank you for finding Chunhua—"

"You're welcome."

He managed a smile and nodded. It was better to accept her thanks, regardless of everything. The Panda that floated above them was undisturbed by Chunhua, but it looked like it could have yawned throughout this entire interaction between him and the woman in front of him.

Luo Ju Di somehow looked flustered and then motioned for him to follow, and they arrived by the counter where Chunhua and the male receptionist were. "Chunhua, your Uncle Yang is about to leave and head back to his office—will you say thank you to him?"

"Aw, you're leaving already?" the little girl looked at him with a small frown on her face. "Does it mean that the Panda is going away again?"

Right before Luo Ju Di can say anything, someone else spoke up and took advantage of the moment. The male receptionist cleared his throat and looked at him. "Will he thank me for that dress shirt, though? Or will I put that in your tab, Ju Di?"

"I can pay for it." He said, already reaching for his wallet. "Or you can send the bill to Olympian Corp, and I'll have it sent through the proper channels."

"Cannot believe that Liang is related to this man—they're so different from one another." The man chuckled.

"What did you say?" said man suddenly hollered from the couch, champagne in hand. "I'm a good person!"

"Nobody said you weren't," Giovanni rolled his eyes. He returned his gaze back to Li Yang, "Cash, please, sir, and I'll give you a receipt."

Once he was done, there wasn't anything holding him back now from leaving—and so he did. It was time for him to return to the office and the Panda floating alongside him.

. . .

While the CEO was gone and out of the company, Ying Yue He stepped inside of his office to spruce up a bit to make sure he could come back to a clean office. She did it now and then, and though the man was usually organized... there was still some mess.

Well, at least the teapot and cup she had brought him.

"Did he finish everything?" The secretary checked the tray he left at his table. The cup still had some contents in it, but it had already grown cold. Not to mention that it was left out sitting in the open without a cover—

Ying Yue He picked the teacup and took a sip, drinking it all down because obviously she still couldn't let it go to waste. She might have been able to reheat it, but that probably wouldn't be good when you remixed it with the teapot, right?

… there really was something about the tea that she couldn't explain, but it felt amazing to drink.

Or maybe she was just a food enthusiast.

That was probably it—she was looking forward to eating after work, but for now she picked up the tray and made her way out of the office. She checked the teapot and realized that there was still some tea...but if her boss really wanted to drink tea, she could make him a new batch, right?

Ying Yue He carried the tray to the floor's kitchen and sighed. She was normally in self-control and disciplined enough—she had managed to hold her job here quite well. But now, she couldn't resist pouring herself another cup and drinking it. Something warm filled her stomach, which was weird since she was pretty sure that the tea was cold.

The secretary should probably make a new brew though, just in case her boss came back.

She pursed her lips as she reached out for the canister of tea that her boss gave her. She added in the measurements that the CEO told her before—but also added three extra heapfuls. "I guess I won't be able to make him a pot of coffee then, but tea is healthier." Ying Yue He saw an article before that said that it was always nice to add in another spoonful or two for extra flavor.

And so she did.

. . .

While Li Yang had initially driven as fast as he could and then ran around looking for Chunhua—he had taken a more slow pace when he headed back to his office. And it even earned a look from the Panda, the moment that he stepped into his car and buckled his seatbelt.

"Why didn't you just run? Aren't you supposed to be some super busy CEO?" the Panda asked and plopped down the front seat.

The CEO had already accepted that this creature asked a lot of questions, so he answered. "I told Ying Yue He to clear the schedule for about two hours, and either way—we're already prepared for the board meeting. All that's left is for me to read it over one last time and then send it to the board members coming along. We're practically prepared."

"What… how did that happen? All I saw was you reading papers. You didn't seem to be making them, so how'd'you prepare them?" the Panda frowned. "And isn't a meeting supposed to be people talking with one another, can you handle that?"

Li Yang raised a brow, his eyes on the road.

"Were you that worried about me?" he asked.

"I was mocking you."

The man sighed inwardly but explained it in simpler terms, "As the CEO, I make sure that everything in the company is executed properly—making plans, visions and missions. I keep track of how the company is faring and I gather information through my fellow executives, consultants and department heads."

"..." the Panda stared up at him.

And Li Yang could feel it even without him glancing down, and so he tried to say it in words that might be easier for the creature to understand. "You understand Sects, right?"

"Of course, what do you take me for?"

"A Panda, but I digress. You can think of a company as a very powerful sect. The Sect Master is the one who oversees everything and often takes a background role and only appears during important ceremonies, whereas the Sect Elders are the ones who tend after the Disciples."

"Basically, you just wanted to call yourself a Sect Master, huh?"

Author Note: Fun Fact for the day, the Olympian Corp was inspired from Amazon. But now that I think about it, the protagonist CEO here acts more similarly to Zuckerberg. Or maybe that's just me. I really just am a fan of Daisuke Kambe.

And for a not-so-happy fun fact, Li Yang was born during the period where the one-child-policy was still rolling out. Adds some extra layers to how he grew up sort of neglected, ignore this if you will if you're just in here for the harem and wanted a blank template MC. x.x
