174: Chapter 174 The Hands-Off Manager, Full of Charm

Li Taiping raised his hand and pushed open Su Mei's door.

As soon as he entered, he was shocked by the sight before him.

Inside the spacious and luxurious room, dozens of blue virtual projection screens of various sizes floated in mid-air.

On each screen, dense data, maps, and various personnel information scrolled by.

Su Mei sat in the center of these screens, wearing a silky wine-red nightgown, her hair casually held up with a hairpin, revealing her fair and slender neck.

She was wearing a pair of small gold-rimmed glasses, staring intently at one of the largest screens, her fingers tapping rapidly on a virtual keyboard as she handled various complex matters.

She looked exactly like a domineering female CEO, strategizing and controlling the overall situation.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she didn't even look up.

Seeing her so overwhelmed with work, Li Taiping felt a sudden pang of guilt.

These past few days, he had indeed been a completely hands-off manager.

If he wasn't cultivating, he was bonding with the newly arrived Beast Girls, experiencing what a true "paradise on earth" felt like.

The lightness of the Cat Girl, the allure of the Fox Girl, and the daintiness of the Mouse Girl.

Each of these adorable Beast-eared Girls brought him new and ultimate sensory stimulation, making him linger and forget everything else in his happiness.

As for the grueling work of building an organization, he had dumped it all onto Su Mei alone.

"Ahem."

Li Taiping coughed twice, trying to get her attention.

Su Mei finally looked up from the pile of data, adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, and glanced at Li Taiping indifferently through the lenses.

"Oh, if it isn't our busy man. Have you finally deigned to look at me?"

Her voice carried a faint hint of resentment and teasing.

That single eye-roll was incredibly charming, seductive to the core.

Li Taiping felt a bit awkward under her gaze and scratched his head sheepishly.

He knew this woman was definitely upset.

After all, while he was enjoying himself every night, she hadn't slept for days, busy as a spinning top.

In comparison, he really was a bit of a beast.

"Well... I'm here to see you now, aren't I?"

Li Taiping chuckled, walked forward, and gently wrapped his arms around Su Mei's waist from behind, resting his chin on her fragrant shoulder as he smelled the faint scent from her hair.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Su Mei's body stiffened slightly, then relaxed.

Leaning in Li Taiping's arms, feeling the warmth and heartbeat from his chest, her fatigue from the past several days seemed to dissipate quite a bit in that moment.

She gave a soft hmph, accepting his apology.

Seeing this, Li Taiping immediately took advantage of the situation and began asking about business.

"How is it? How is the formation of our organization going?"

At the mention of business, Su Mei immediately regained her shrewdness and efficiency as the head manager.

She lightly swiped her hand in the air, and a massive 3D map of the sea area instantly appeared before them.

On the map, besides the largest golden dot representing the Many Children, Many Blessings, thousands of green dots of varying sizes were densely distributed.

"It's going very smoothly; it can be described as a widespread response."

A hint of unconcealable pride appeared on Su Mei's face.

"Since we announced the existence of the Subordinate Covenant on the area channel and demonstrated the strength of our Many Children, Many Blessings,"

almost all the Survivors struggling to survive in this sea area are scrambling to join us."

She pointed at the dots on the map and explained:

"Especially the Shen He brothers you saved before. They've become your most fanatical supporters, spreading word of your 'glorious deeds' everywhere and helping us recruit a lot of people."

"By the way, they even gave our newborn organization a resounding name!"

At this point, Su Mei gave Li Taiping a half-smile.

"What is it called?" Li Taiping asked curiously.
