Chapter 76: The Employee Of The Month

The CEO took off his drenched shirt, hanging it temporarily on a clothes' rack. He reached for the clean and dry one that Luo Ju Di had given him and buttoned up his dress shirt, fixing his sleeves and collar before glancing at the conveniently placed standing mirrors in front of him. There was one in front and two at the sides that gave him a full view of how he looked—it seemed to be an essential party in the staff's routine here.

"Were you really that toned?" the Panda suddenly appeared in front of the mirror. The creature was fluffing up its fur, or picking out charred ones from itself. "No six packs, but no beer belly either."

Li Yang gave it a look, "You do have the habit of popping up anywhere you want to, huh?"

"Hey, are you shy?" the Panda snorted.

"No."

"I thought so."

"But it's still odd now that you think about it." Li Yang tried not to think about it. And yet he had done so during his time with Bo Lifen.

The Panda rubbed its face, "Ahem, in other countries and religions—they tend to have an omnipotent, omniscient being watching over them at all times and these humans still go around fucking one another. If they can do it, why can't you? Your case is not so different, albeit now you're really aware that the Heavens do watch."

"Thank you," the CEO said with a sigh, taking one last look at the mirror. Perhaps it was easier to forget about it when you were actually entranced in doing something, speaking of which, he remembered something. "You had something to say while we were on the run... what was it?"

"You've actually begun to use qi properly."

Li Yang raised a brow at the sudden praise, which now seemed uncommon than anything. "I am trying to meditate and all the things that cultivators do—"

"A normal human, especially someone who spends a good amount of their time sitting down in the office, doesn't just develop stamina and energy to run nonstop, so it means that the qi flowing around your meridians are actually doing its job. Should have known that everybody involved in this scheme is some sort of freak." the Panda grumbled. "Wouldn't be much of an entertainment show if things are normal."

The freak didn't fit well with what he had in mind—but he was someone who got a Harem Cultivation System, so it wasn't his part to argue. Except for one thing, or one person rather. "Miss Ying Yue He doesn't really deserve to be called like that."

"I bet the System hasn't told you yet, as it restricts the information for you not doing the Main Quest properly—but there are criteria for why it chooses some women and not just others. It's not randomized." the Panda said.

"And Miss He fit the criteria?"

"Yeah, she did. The System just didn't pick her just because she's your secretary and easy to get, there's—some things. I won't say too much." the Panda grumbled. "Anyway, aren't you supposed to be going out now? Shoo!"

The CEO narrowed his eyes at the creature, but eventually did go out... neither Luo Ju Di or Chunhua had come back to check on him. Which was fine, but if Luo Ju Di was immensely grateful and charmed with him—he almost expected more? When he opened the door, however, was something that he didn't expect.

His brother was lounging on the sofa with the women, champagne in his hand and already conversing easily with the women. And though he didn't think it was appropriate to compare himself with his brother, both of them specializing in different things completely, there was a hint of doubt—

"Did you know that your brother used to be the consecutive Employee of the Month here?" Luo Ju Di approached him with a drink in hand.

Li Yang stared at her.

Luo Ju Di flushed and took a sip of the drink, "It's non-alcoholic, and peach flavored. Even Chunhua is drinking it... well, Giovanni gave her an apple juice carton." She offered her glass to him. If one were to look behind her, while the women were indeed gathered around his brother and conversed with him—the man at the counter was talking with Chunhua animatedly.

The CEO shook his head and then accepted the drink from her, taking a small sip. He glanced slightly down. She was a little shorter than Ying Yue He. "Thank you, but what did you say about my brother?"

Luo Ju Di rubbed her arm and leaned against the wall next to him. She adopted a more quiet voice in comparison to the others. Crossing her arms over her chest, she eyed him from the corner of her vision. "Hirire is a company that offers dating services to lonely and busy young people—a lot of the parents and grandparents tend to nag their children to get married. So Hirire is one of the available services that allows you to rent a person to show to your parents, or even go on dates. The two of us worked here before we saved enough for university."

Li Yang blinked. His brother had been disowned by his father near the end of high school, so when the two of them had met again—it had been suspicious back that Liang could afford university and also invest in a start-up. However, Li Yang had attributed it to his brother's intelligence, skills and perseverance.

The woman stared at him, "It's not escort service, mind you, although there are some cases where it gets offered. But it usually depends on whether the client and the recipient agree to it and… most who come here don't usually come for that. But there is a lot of stigmata around this line of work."

This was putting charisma skills and good genetics to work, and the CEO wasn't sure whether he was put off by it or respected it.
