If there was anything the CEO might have been able to naturally accomplish on his own feat, without a need of the System's assistance: It was the ability to make soone feel uncomfortable and make them experience a certain degree of unease with his presence alone.
Perhaps it was his esteed position, the accomplishnt of being a CEO at his still young age—and a very successful one at that. Any other person would already begin to treat him differently by simply his personal achievents alone.
Or it was his naturally distinguished presence wrought from the Li family's careful and good breeding from the past generations. Blessed with a disarming smile that could make won reconsider their positions in life and perhaps sothing that made other n look at him with envy.
But in reality, it was none of that.
So people were already assured of their positions in life, regardless of their standing and could not be affected by those things. Only the stone-faced expression of Li Yang, sothing that made him look like soone carved from a great block of ice made the other person fess up completely and reveal his cards.
".... Alright, it took a while to get this and I haven't really shared this with anyone else, but Inventory." Han Jing reached out into thin air and pulled out a black pearl. "It's almost like a spatial ring or spatial chest, but less bulky. You can easily pretend that you pulled sothing out of your pocket and it's really useful if you know what to store beforehand."
Li Yang raised a brow. "This took you a while to get this feature?"
"Wait, don't tell you didn't have to work to unlock Inventory—alright, the bias is clearly showing! What else did she give you?" the man rubbed his face, clearly becoming more at ease despite his inhibition earlier. "I had to deal with Soul Synchronization and all of that and it hurt like hell."
"She's not the one handling ."
"Right." Han Jing blinked. "Not a Player but with access to features similar to mine… but you're not controlling any avatar in so other world too."
"No."
"Neat—it's kind of confusing living double lives." Han Jing weakly laughed. "You tend to forget to take care of the other one. I guess being new to this ans you have more upgrades? Or whoever is in charge has their own way of doing things."
Their situation had differences then, vast enough differences to him… but one of them was—
"Do you have required Missions?" he asked.
"Mine is an open world to so extent. I an, I guess there's a huge quest to accomplish, but I'm not actively pursuing it."
And so that was what gave this other man a chance to live a normal life unlike him beset by missions and deadlines. Was it fitting because he worked in an office that had similar requirents and the other man frankly looked like soone who really did live with his parents?
Li Yang inwardly sighed, but nodded.
He half-wondered if using the Unofficial System Patch would allow him the sa leisure to have no active missions, but he doubted it would be the case.
"Are you okay?" Han Jing asked.
"I'm fine. Thank you for the information." Would Li Yang risk it? The prospect of another world was rather too much, but then again, would it make sense for this being to interfere this much when she knew the consequences?
If this Peach wished for—
She once talked about universal domination.
This Peach enjoyed needling Bao, the Panda-like creature. Soone required to transmit the information and view to the Heavens.
She desired a vacation according to Han Jing.
And this Peach was keeping watch on him, soone she dubbed as a 'ticking ti bomb' essentially, but still provided Charm Points and gifts.
The door swung open and Ying Yue He stepped in with a tray of refreshnt and light snacks. "Please excuse ." She was quick to leave it and excused herself from the office in less than a minute rather than lingering.
Li Yang watched her leave, his brows furrowing—
"Weird. She wanted to get in so fast earlier."
"What was that?" Li Yang glanced at the man who mumbled sothing underneath his breath. He had caught what the man said, but couldn't exactly imagine what he ant.
"Oh, I just noticed that she and the tigress spirit from earlier were pretty much eager to open the door for —and it's obviously not because I arrived or anything, they wanted to see you and were fighting over the door." Han Jing picked up a glass and took a sip. "Kind of silly now that I think of it, but then she zood out fast. Couldn't even thank her."
"I see."
"Yeah…"
A silence would ensue, until the CEO decided to speak up.
Li Yang assud Ying Yue He was just distraught after what happened the other night, and was dealing with it on her own. Or even regretful she had gotten involved in danger. "If she had anything she wished to tell or otherwise, she could just approach instead of simply avoiding . It's a bit confusing now that you ntioned that incident earlier."
"So girls are like that. They'll tell you that they're fine, but you can tell they're clearly upset even when they insist otherwise."
"It doesn't make any sense." Li Yang sighed internally. He had assud that Bo Lifen was the difficult one to interact with, but in a twist of fate, sohow his interaction with his secretary was the one that beca more estranged.
Han Jing shrugged. "Not a lot of things do?"
"They really don't."

Author's Note: I'm not sure how harem stories deal with the MC talking to other dudes. I've only seen MC dealing with Young Masters, lackeys and their plucky (fat) best friend or cousin and ntors. But beyond that, with both of these dudes just being protagonists in their own book—at heart, both still have trouble with dealing with won. So won at least xD What do you do when soone is clearly avoiding you? Will you just let it be or confront them? Does it even matter in the long-run?
