Aloof CEO, but His Milk Tea Is Always Extra Sweet

One body, two souls: cheerful college student × aloof CEO

Chen Leduo is a fourth-year university student who one day transmigrates into a CEO novel and becomes the CEO himself.

The CEO is cold and stern, devoted to work and rarely smiles.

His parents died young, his company was in turmoil, and shareholders were making a play for control. He fought back against the odds and took on the burden, never taking a single day off for years, working himself to the bone.

By the rules of transmigrating into a book, Chen Leduo is supposed to play the CEO.

Chen Leduo doesn't care about any of that. He counts up all the movable and immovable assets under his name... and cracks up because there are too many to count.

He throws his head back and laughs. "I'M RICH!"

Hahahaha! This is the blessing you get for devoutly worshipping the God of Wealth!

Chen Leduo says to the secretary who has come in to report on work, "I know what you're going to say, but that's not important. I have a more urgent task for you."

The secretary has never seen the CEO look so serious. He instantly feels as if disaster is imminent, all kinds of possibilities flashing through his mind.

Have the shareholders made another move? Has something gone wrong with a company project? Or has the CEO's dreadful relative finally decided to make a move?

He stammers nervously, "What is it, sir?"

Chen Leduo rattles off his instructions: "Order every item on the city's top 100 bestselling takeout list. I'll eat them one by one."

He pauses, then adds, "No budget combo meals, and don't use any discount coupons. Thanks."

Yes, that's just how ambitious he is.

From now on, he won't even look at lemon water that costs four yuan a cup!

Chen Leduo thinks the CEO life is great in every way, except for one thing.

His time as CEO is limited. When he wakes up, he still has a thesis to write, a job to find, and rent to pay.

He decides he needs to figure out a way to spend every day as the CEO.

Xie Suizhi realizes he may have some kind of serious mental illness.

The main symptom is constant drowsiness. One second he's in a video conference with people overseas, and the next he's at a night market stall, squatting on a little stool and eating crayfish. He pants from the spice but still chats with the stall owner: "I'll franchise your business! Let's open a branch in Madagascar!"

Xie Suizhi: ...

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

After several days, his out-of-body episodes become increasingly severe.

One second he's waiting in an airport VIP lounge, and the next he's cornering some scheming, difficult man against the wall, his voice low and magnetic. "Heh, man, how dare you call me by my gender."

One second he's holding a board meeting to set quarterly KPIs, and the next he's at an amusement park, fighting to get on a children's trampoline. When an employee stops him, he points stubbornly at the sign. "It says anyone under 180 jin can play!"

The employee asks, "How old are you?"

Xie Suizhi: "I can pay!"

Xie Suizhi: ?

Xie Suizhi yells, "Pay for what, my ass!"

The employee is shocked and impressed. As expected of a CEO who is ruthless and doesn't waste words. He even puts in that much effort when cursing himself.

One day, Xie Suizhi is negotiating a business deal at an upscale teahouse. He zones out for a moment, then elegantly raises a cup to his lips.

Only to take a big slurp of AD Calcium Milk.

Xie Suizhi can't take it anymore!

He swears that whether he's possessed by a ghost or there's something wrong with his brain, he's going to drive the other guy out of his body.

He's taking back every day that belongs to him!

-

Xie Suizhi swears he'll exorcise the spirit, but his efforts come to nothing. The other guy grows stronger and more noticeable, and the two can even communicate inside their heads.

Gradually, Xie Suizhi discovers that this little ghost... is actually pretty cute.

The little ghost uses his body to do all sorts of things he's never tried, and things he never even dared to imagine.

After tasting an incredibly delicious milk tea, the little ghost immediately calls him out to share: "Come on, have some. It's so good. You can have the second sip."

But one day, the little ghost disappears.

Xie Suizhi is gloomy for a long time, searching all over the world without finding anyone named "Chen Leduo."

It seems he was tricked, Xie Suizhi thinks. This person never existed.

Until one day, a graduate clutching a resume rushes over and stumbles straight into his arms.

The graduate looks up. As if he knows by instinct what the man's name should be, Xie Suizhi softly says,

"Chen Leduo."
