Is it a problem to have a harem in a stranger heroine?

Page 562

What he remembered most about that night was not the burning bonfire, not the deafening cheers, not the happy and loving looks in the girls' eyes, but the half-smile on Akane Hongsaka's face.

"We're definitely going to lose the game. Why do you say that?"

"Aiya~ Of course it's because Iori was working while you guys were having fun, Ya-kun."

That’s the reason?!

Bai Ye's inner surprise could not be described in words.

Even primary school students would not believe that the rule of +1-1 represents victory or defeat, let alone the fact that both parties are old hands who have experienced the ups and downs of the business world, the intrigues of people, and are serious and stern.

It was precisely because he firmly believed that Benizaka Akane was a veteran that Bai Ye did not dare to use the +1-1 theory to refute her.

Before Bai Ye could figure out what was going on, Hongzaka Akane gave him a half-smile that left a deep impression on Bai Ye's mind.

"An action doesn't just have one purpose. Today I came here to watch the After Night Festival, to see Ye Jun, and to check on your progress. The results didn't disappoint me."

Bai Ye was speechless.

He has said this to everyone and used it on everyone before, and it has yielded considerable results.

"Is this karma?"

Afterwards, Bai Ye told everyone about this incident, which caused everyone to be indignant and annoyed. They wanted to find Hongzaka Akane to argue with her, but found that she had already left.

He looked at Sayuri Sawamura who was silent beside him. His sixth sense told him that Sayuri Sawamura and Akane Benizaka must have talked about a lot of things, which might even involve the competition.

He really wanted to ask Sayuri Sawamura in public, but he didn't say a word until the end, nor did he ask her through the phone. Instead, he kept the matter to himself.

Just as he is still hiding the fact that "Flash Girl" is in his hands.

. . . . . .

My thoughts returned to reality, and the hum of the light train passing over the tracks was endless.

Bai Ye lowered his head to meet Kato Megumi's concerned eyes, and steadied his body which was hit by passers-by behind him when the train turned.

"It's impossible to say you don't care, don't you? Otherwise, why would Shiyu and Eriri get up so early in the morning to draw and write, and Xiaohui, you get up even earlier to make breakfast."

"That's because Bai Ye-kun let us go very quickly last night. He looked very unhappy but had to endure it. He also endured it this morning. It's very good."

Two hours is definitely not enough.

Although Bai Ye understood that Xiaohui was secretly telling dirty jokes outside just to make him relax, he still couldn't help but sigh.

“To do happy things, you must first have a happy mood. It’s unsettling to have vultures hovering in the sky.”

Kato Megumi nodded, and her soft and delicate body leaned forward slightly against Bai Ye's broad and strong chest, comforting him in her own way.

"Don't worry, this will pass, and we will be the winner in the end."

......

The two got off the bus in Shinjuku and stopped for a while when passing by the Daishu Restaurant.

"Will you come here for lunch? Then, Xiaohui, you'll win over Shiyu again."

Bai Ye had dinner with Shiyu here for the first time, so he still remembered it clearly. Later, when Xiaohui got to know him, he was half threatened and half seduced by her to have a meal here as well.

"Aren't you afraid that Senior Shiyu will find out? She seemed quite angry last time."

"It's all because of you. If any of you gets jealous, I'll be the one who suffers in the end." Bai Ye was furious.

Kato Megumi smiled, feeling satisfied with the little warmth.

"If there's enough time, we can also bring afternoon tea to Shiyu-senpai and Eriri."

"The time later is definitely not enough." Bai Ye suppressed her thoughts of causing trouble.

The two walked into a block, and Kato Megumi looked up and saw the sign hanging above her head.

"Is this also called Tanaka Shopping Street?"

"Yes, this is the new one, and the logistics warehouse is the old Tanaka shopping street."

Except for convenience stores, most supermarkets open at 8:30 in the morning, and stores not related to food open even later. As a result, the commercial street is deserted at the moment, and almost all the people around are office workers in suits and ties like Bai Ye.

"Bai Ye-kun, where is the office building?"

Bai Ye compared the information given by Tanakado, and his eyes finally stopped on a building that looked to be nearly 20 stories high.

"It should be there, let's go."

The two men walked into the high-rise building, and the first hurdle they faced was the elevator gate, but they had nothing in their hands, as Tanakado had not prepared any pass cards for them.

After coming in, Kato Megumi took the initiative to let go of her hand and fell half a body length behind.

"Xiaohui, the challenge has begun!" Bai Ye whispered in her ear.

"Bai Ye-kun, are you treating this as a game?" Kato Megumi hurriedly caught up with him.

The receptionist saw someone walk in and asked politely:

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"My last name is Xiao, and this person's last name is Kato. We're here to see Mr. Tanakado. Does he have an appointment?"

"Please wait."

The receptionist looked it up on the computer and replied after a moment:

"We have an appointment with President Tanaka on the 17th floor. I'll prepare temporary passes for you two."

"Thank you."

After getting the pass, Kato Megumi noticed that Bai Ye's eyes suddenly looked a little uninterested, and she couldn't help but feel curious.

"Bai Yejun's behavior is completely different from the average person I know."

"I originally thought Mr. Tanaka hadn't made a reservation, so I reluctantly gave in, causing the rude and disrespectful receptionist to beg for mercy. Finally, I handed over the pass with both hands and watched us leave with a triumphant air..."

Kato Megumi "......"

"Bai Yejun, it's not good to read too many Long Aotian novels."

Thanks to Bai Ye's cheerful joke, Kato Megumi slowly relaxed her tense shoulders after entering the building.

"Bai Ye-jun can see that I'm nervous?"

Bai Ye didn't touch her head as usual amidst the crowds of people coming and going, but he still comforted her:

"Xiaohui, although you are calm and confident by nature, it's inevitable that you'll be a little nervous for the first time. Relax. In novels, girls with your personality are usually like the final boss, deciding the life and death of other heroines in a casual conversation."

"What kind of weird novel is that? I'm just an ordinary girl. Now I just want to be a good secretary to Bai Yejun."

In the end, Kato Megumi couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of her mouth, smiling charmingly.

"Let's go, Byakuya-kun. It's not good to keep Mr. Tanaka waiting for so long."

"It's not until nine o'clock..."

"I'll take care of the schedule. Bai Ye-kun, please work hard and stop trying to slack off or tease your secretary."

Since she knew everything, Bai Ye had no choice but to listen to his secretary.

The two of them arrived at the 17th floor. As soon as they walked out of the elevator, they saw the sign of "Tanaka Company" in the transparent glass door. Without thinking much, they pushed the door open and walked in.

The unique noise of the office was incessant, and the contrast with the environment in the corridor seemed as if one was in a different world of stillness and movement. Everyone was busy with their own work, making Bai Ye and the other person standing at the entrance look out of place.

Not seeing the figures of Tanakado and Miss Yoriko, Bai Ye gave a reassuring smile to Kato Megumi who was looking at him, and then pointed somewhere.

"Just follow me."

Chapter 834: Going to work is nothing but slacking off. Would you feel embarrassed to come to work if you don’t slack off?

Bai Ye led Kato Megumi between the workstations. He looked so relaxed as if he had already been a part of Tanaka Company. On the way, he did not forget to nod and greet passers-by, regardless of whether he knew them or not.

Kato Megumi was convinced.

In her opinion, Bai Ye's familiarity has reached the level of perfection. She couldn't be so natural. At the same time, she was infected by Bai Ye's familiarity. Whoever Bai Ye greeted, she would smile, nod and say good morning.

Afterwards, the two came to the leisure area which was similar to a reception room and sat on the sofa without any hesitation.

"Xiao Hui, do you feel like you don't fit in?"

"Well... there were some when I first came in, but after greeting everyone and getting responses, I suddenly felt like I was part of this place. It was a strange feeling."

“If you want to be inconspicuous, you must first be conspicuous and let others think you are part of this place.”

Bai Ye gestured to Kato Megumi to pour him a glass of water. The latter stood up and took two cups from the water dispenser and lined up. Because there were people in the line who he had just greeted, he did not receive too much attention.

"Water is coming, Bai Ye-kun."

"Yeah, Xiaohui, sit down. Just treat it like you're at home. The more natural the better. Except don't lie down and sleep."

Kato Megumi responded, sat down and continued chatting with Bai Ye, imitating Bai Ye to cast a certain amount of glance at everyone who passed by, and then look away.

Apart from anything else, her adaptability is also first-rate.

The news that there were two young strangers wearing passes in the reception area quickly spread throughout the Tanaka Company. In particular, the two of them were leisurely observing everyone who passed by. Their protagonist-like attitude, without any shyness or fear at all, intimidated those who wanted to go forward to find out what was going on. They all discussed privately which shareholder's son this was.

If they heard what Bai Ye said to Kato Megumi, they would definitely be shocked.

"It's been 15 minutes, why hasn't anyone approached us yet? 'If you want to be inconspicuous, you must first attract attention,' so this is the truth?"

"Don't be anxious, Xiaohui. Do you remember where I come from?"

Kato Megumi nodded.

Although Bai Ye rarely mentioned his background, she remembered that Bai Ye was the son of a food company.

"Does Bai Yejun often encounter such situations?"

"It happened in junior high school. I went to companies and factories to inspect the situation on behalf of my family, and then I learned how to deal with it."

Bai Ye took a sip of water and continued:

"Ordinary employees weren't responsible for the reception, but they spread the news. Logically, within five minutes, someone with authority would come to us and ask about the details, but they haven't yet."

"Why?" asked Kato Megumi.

"Those with authority should all be in the meeting." Bai Ye pointed in the direction of the conference room. "Don't forget that Mr. Tanaka is the president here. He usually slacks off at Tanaka's house, but he suddenly shows up at the company. Shouldn't he hold a meeting to give some orders and make his presence felt?"

"That makes sense, but if Bai Ye-kun continues to speak in such a casual way, I'm afraid I won't be able to help laughing, and my image will be completely ruined."

"I'm sorry, mine."

Bai Ye had his own reasons for doing this, and in his heart he regarded this as a test from Tanakado.

It is already past 9 o'clock. Since Tanakado has not shown up and there is no news, I have to find ways to attract Tanakado's attention and tell him that if he doesn't show up, the company will be full of gossip.

Sending messages on your phone?

It's said to be a test, so this option is temporarily blocked.

"Xiaohui, I'm increasingly convinced that I'm going to slack off at home on Saturdays from now on."

Kato Megumi: “???”

"Look at those guys walking around pretending to be in a hurry. They're just looking for trouble. And those guys staring blankly at their computer screens at their workstations look just like Eriri slacking off. Their efficiency is so low. Could Eriri already be slacking off at home?"

He had already heard and confirmed the news that the leaders were in a meeting from a passing office worker.

Kato Megumi shook her head and sent him a photo.

"I just asked, Shiyu-senpai and Eriri are working so hard, is it because they're motivated? Everyone is different from before the school festival."

She also noticed that it was past 9 o'clock, but since Bai Ye did not take any action, she just waited and saw what would happen.

......

beep-

The 9: bell had passed, and a series of chaotic footsteps came into Bai Ye's ears. Then he noticed that the employee who was slacking off changed his expression and immediately buried his head in work.

"Xiao Hui."

"Yeah, Mr. Tanaka is done with the meeting."

Noticing that the office atmosphere had changed from disorderly slacking off to orderly work, Bai Ye stood up and prepared to take action.

The goal has been achieved, there is no point in being arrogant, it is better to save the energy of slacking off.

Just then, a familiar figure came to the reception area.

"Mr. Xiao, Ms. Kato, good morning."

The person who came was Miss Yizi.
