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

"There are over a hundred replies on the post, and the response is neither big nor small. Public opinion is wavering, and everyone has different opinions. However, the post has not sunk. The number of views is still increasing, and the number of replies is also slowly increasing."

Bai Ye habitually closed his eyes to clear his thoughts, but this time he was interrupted by Kato Megumi.

"Bai Ye-kun, it's dangerous to close your eyes when holding a kitchen knife."

"Ah...I'm sorry."

Bai Ye understood that Xiaohui was reminding him not to let his thoughts run wild alone. Although they couldn't see each other through the phone screen, his every move was still in everyone's sight.

"Shiyu, what do you think? You're more experienced in this kind of thing."

Shiyu propped up her cheeks, leaned forward slightly, and said while browsing the comments:

"I do have experience, but when you say it, it always feels wrong. Is it because you are completely stained with Hentai?"

After hearing this, Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Shiyu was still in a joking mood, which meant that the situation was not yet irreversible, so he continued to wait.

After a moment, Shiyu rubbed her brows and said:

"My opinion is similar to Eriri's..."

"That's what I told you!" Acknowledging this, Eriri raised her chin proudly. "This is nothing at all. It doesn't matter whether I intervene or not."

"But there is also a slight difference. I think it has to be dealt with." Shiyu said the second half of the sentence that was interrupted.

Yinglili "..."

"I was just speaking up for you, Kasumigaoka!"

"You didn't finish listening, so you blame me?" Shiyu glanced sideways.

Although Shiyu said it was not a big deal, Bai Ye was still anxious. After all, things are ever-changing. He was regretting that he had been too focused on "Flash Girls" recently and neglected Icy Tail.

"Let's get down to business first, Shiyu."

The girl with long black hair looked at him deeply when she heard that, and put aside her usual bickering with Eriri, her tone becoming intellectual and steady.

"Icy tail and I are different. They just debuted and don't have any personal or group forums. This post was posted on the popular music section of the forum. It's impossible to say it has no influence, but judging by the frequency of replies, the post often hovers on the second or third page, so its influence is limited."

"I think what you said, Kasumigaoka, is as good as nothing." Eriri propped up her cheek. "I can see that. If no one deliberately messes with it, this thread will just fade away like any other, unless Icy Tail does something earth-shattering these days."

"Eri, you know it very well~~"

"That's—! I made it onto the rankings for my illustrations in the book, and the situation is… Oh! Nothing happened. I didn't say anything. I'm keeping it a secret."

Seeing Eriri so proud but then exposing herself and disappearing from the screen in shame, everyone was speechless.

"Go on, Senior."

"Eri is right. If no one messes with it, the post will gradually fade away. Or maybe, to be more daring, this post hasn't faded away in three days. Could it be that someone has already messed with it?"

Hearing this, the two of them cast thoughtful glances at Bai Ye, and Ying Lili also poked her head out from under the screen.

Bai Ye naturally understood what they meant and shook his head.

"I have always advocated for having a clear conscience and having a legitimate reason. I never speak publicly about things without evidence."

"I knew you would say that, Xiaobai-kun. You're a hentai in your daily life, but your work style is very formal." Shiyu shook her head and held her forehead.

"The self-doubt caused by unclear thoughts is terrible. I have always avoided this situation. Even if I can seduce you and bring you into my harem, I still have a clear mind and a clear conscience." Bai Ye said seriously.

"So, Byakuya-kun is using the royal way to pave the way for his own Hentai behavior..." Kato Megumi tilted her head.

"Hentai, go to hell!" Eriri finished off the opponent.

Seeing that the topic was gradually becoming off-topic, Bai Ye quickly brought it back.

"However, I'm still looking forward to what Iori Najima will do. I'll see if he thinks the virus will be shut down as soon as his feet leave the ground, and his IQ will take over the upper hand."

"What a joke..." Shiyu's mouth twitched.

"The kingly style you just mentioned has turned into a tyrant style, Lord Bai Ye."

"Hui, don't you understand Hundan Baiye? This guy has never been a hero. He always says that he only does it to have a legitimate reason and a clear conscience."

Shiyu clapped her hands, and this time it was her turn to bring the topic back.

"Stop being so joking. This is the situation for now. Xiaobai-kun, how are you going to handle this? Decide quickly. Don't forget that Icy Tail is anxiously waiting."

This time, no one interrupted Bai Ye when he closed his eyes and opened them.

"Let's eliminate the impact. From the perspective of Icy Tail's agent, I have to do this. Whether to treat it coldly or warmly depends on how Iori reacts. I have connections in certain areas, and as I said before, anything that can be solved with money is the easiest thing to do."

"Okay, I have nothing to do these days anyway, I will continue to pay attention to the development of the situation."

"Thanks a lot."

Shiyu smiled and stretched.

"Whether it's hard or not depends on what kind of compensation you get afterwards~~ After working yourself to death for a month and barely making ends meet, any normal person would just run away, right, Xiaobaijun~~"

How could Bai Ye not understand what she was thinking, and responded with a sweet smile.

Seeing that Shiyu got the benefit, Yinglili slammed the table without giving in.

"Where's my reward? I just realized that you, Hundan Baiye, tricked me into going against Iori Hajima today. Have you ever heard that those who get something for free will be struck by lightning?!"

"Okay, okay—I know. We just have to wait until Saturday. Whether it's a celebration dinner or a farewell dinner, it's definitely going to be a feast."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped toasting champagne during the first half of the game and returned to a serious expression.

Yes, all the preparations, all the schemes, all the struggles at the moment are just the prelude to the meeting with Akane Benizaka on Saturday, just like the dark clouds before the storm.

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become tense, Bai Ye wondered if he was putting too much pressure on everyone.

His original intention was to let everyone live happily in this harem club.

"Xiaohui, what do you want for the celebration party? Let me prepare it first."

Kato Megumi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and a hint of tenderness and hope flashed in her pale yellow eyes.

"I just want Bai Yejun to wake up with my legs resting on his pillow and see the sunrise the next day."

Chapter 731: Perhaps the last calm before the storm

Friday, cool and windy.

In the past, I looked forward to every Friday night, whether it was looking forward to the business progress before meeting Shiyu and the others, or looking forward to the night of intimate contact after meeting Shiyu and the others.

Now, he just wants today to pass quickly, and then finish "Flash Girl" neatly tomorrow, so that he can have a warm night of reunion with everyone.

However, he could not find a way to make the earth spin faster. Although numbing his mind could make his senses feel faster, he did not want to waste time, waste every opportunity to increase his chances of winning.

So, he came to Tanaka Commercial Street and walked into the Tanaka store again with a flattering look as if begging for help.

"Ms. Yizi, it's been a while since I last saw you."

Miss Yizi clasped her hands across her stomach and bowed.

"Hello Mr. Xiao, you are in your old seat."

"Why is it that every time I come here, Miss Yiko immediately pushes me to Mr. Tanaka, as if I have a purpose? Can't I come here specifically to visit you?" Bai Ye said with a smile.

"If Mr. Xiao came to see me specially, he would kick you out the next second." Miss Yizi's expression remained unchanged.

"I'm sorry, I was rude." Bai Ye apologized with a smile.

This kind of greeting is certainly not offensive to the beautiful lady, which can be seen from Miss Yiko's sincere smile.

"Mr. Xiao, I hope you remember the agreement."

"Of course I remember. In a couple of days I'll bring Xiaohui and everyone to visit you to thank you. Xiaohui also said she'd love to learn cooking from you."

Miss Yizi bowed again and welcomed Bai Ye into the house.

Bai Ye entered the inner room and walked towards him quickly after seeing Tanakatang.

"What were you talking about with Yizi just now?"

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

You have to know that before people met, they would greet each other first. How could they question each other right away?

However, because of this, Bai Ye felt a sense of closeness towards Tanakado as they were both from the same world.

"I just said hello to Miss Yizi and told her to bring Xiaohui and everyone else to play together next time. Mr. Tanaka is too sensitive. I already have Xiaohui."

"It's hard to say, considering what Mr. Xiao did in the past."

Although he expressed his doubts, Tanakado washed the teacup and poured hot tea for Bai Ye.

Bai Ye didn't mind and took a sip of tea.

"That's the consequence of not cherishing the people who matter to you. Sometimes, the moment you realize you're about to lose them, it's already too late to recover."

"I feel like I, an old man, have been taught a lesson by the younger generation."

Tanakado didn't elaborate further. After refilling Bai Ye's tea, he said:

"I admire Mr. Xiao very much."

"Which aspect?" Bai Ye smiled sweetly.

"At least not in the way you think!"

Tanakado snorted, took out a document from the side and threw it on the table, then picked up the teacup and drank tea.

Bai Ye picked up the document with a smile, and just one look at it made his smile even wider.

The document is a venture capital firm's assessment of White Night Company.

Bai Ye had never asked a venture capital company to conduct an asset appraisal, so it must have been Tanakado's work, and this was later confirmed by him.

"Before this, I asked a venture capitalist to secretly evaluate your company. I didn't expect you to come to me later and this information would come in handy. I've already circulated it within the circle, and as I expected, someone with a keen sense of smell took a fancy to it and even contacted me privately for advice."

"If that Akane Azuki is a qualified businessman, she would definitely not miss this information."

"Thank you. I did miss out on venture capital. With their help, my needs should be met more quickly." Bai Ye expressed his sincere gratitude.

Tanakatang waved his hand to indicate that it was a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.

"Everyone in the industry is optimistic about your company's prospects. Opportunities are rare. Do you have any plans to expand your business?"

Bai Ye remembered that he had clearly told Tanakado on Monday that he did not want to sell the company's shares. He didn't believe that the other party had forgotten about it in less than a week.

Even so, it is enough to show that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to develop?

"Ugh……"

Bai Ye's mind was filled with the ambitions he had when he first came to Neon, and then the faces of Shiyu, Xiaohui, Yingli, Bingtang, and Chuhai flashed through his mind one by one, as well as his fantasy of a harmonious harem.

"It sounds really tempting, but I have decided that I cannot live without everyone's company on the road ahead, even for a single minute."

"I knew you would say that, so I'll just give you this advice."

"Do you think it's wise for me to do this?" Bai Ye said in a respectful tone.

"When I was younger, I would have thought you were a fool. But now... Mr. Xiao, at such a young age, has such insights and choices. I can't say whether it's a waste of youth or a glimpse into life. In short, just don't let yourself regret it."

Bai Ye leaned back in his chair and looked at the busy traffic outside the window.

"Yeah... just don't let yourself regret it..."

. . . . . .

On the other side, the rouge on rouge community.

The door of Akane Benizaka's office was pushed open. The sound of footsteps coincided with the dull thud of the door hitting the magnet, which seemed a bit rude.

Hongzaka Zhuyin knew who was coming without even raising her head.

"Knock on the door, Iori?"

The person who came was none other than Iori Hatajima, and his face no longer had the calmness he had the day before.

Noticing the hint of displeasure in Akane Benizaka's voice, Iori Hatashima covered his face with his hands, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down a little when he put down his hand.

"Do you want me to go out and knock on the door once?"

"Don't worry too much about formalities. I knocked on the door immediately. The first rule is to let everyone know that we have superiors and subordinates in the office, and the second is to give me time to prepare."

Following the other person's eye contact, Iori Hasima sat at the opposite table.

"If you want coffee, pour it yourself. Cold, bitter coffee should calm you down."
