A tiny kitten dumped in a trash can right after birth.
A wild panda cub that fell off a cliff with no one to help.
A stray dog beaten to death by a sadist.
There are always fluffy little creatures who are treated cruelly by the world and die in despair.
The trash can stinks. Kitty can't breathe!
The cliff is so high. Panda is so scared!
That person looks so scary. Is doggy going to die?
They thought they were about to go to the Planet of Fluffies.
But then a man appeared out of nowhere.
Yay, it's Daddy! Daddy got here before the Grim Reaper~
Later...
The three kittens Fu Yu brought to the office meowed as they tottered up onto the legs, shoulders, and head of President Fu, the Cat Tree. “Daddy~”
The panda cub, deemed unfit to survive in the wild, was adopted by Fu Yu. It got an enormous mountain all to itself and never had to risk its life looking for food again. There was always plenty of milk, tender bamboo shoots, and little apples. When Fu Yu came to visit, the enormous fluffball would reach out its paws. “Hugs~”
And the stray dog found a home, too. It wandered around a huge garden every day and often insisted that Fu Yu take it for a drive in a luxury car. If he refused, it would look deeply aggrieved. “I wanna go out~”
Fu Yu smiled helplessly. “What a clingy bunch of little imps.”

Other people's overbearing CEOs: aloof and chaste, dressed in suits, making millions at the drop of a hat.
My CEO: always has cat food in his suit pocket, always has dog hair floating around his office, and even has his private jet remodeled into a fluffy-creature jet.
Other people's overbearing CEOs: acquiring companies, real estate, and stocks.
My CEO: acquiring stray-animal shelters, veterinary hospitals, and zoos.
Other people's overbearing CEOs: predicting stock market trends, business secrets, and their competitors' moves.
My CEO: predicting when a newborn kitten will be dumped in a trash can, when a wild panda cub will fall off a cliff, and when a stray dog will be abused by a sadist.
Other people's overbearing CEOs: saving the world, the planet, and humanity.
My CEO: saving fluffy creatures, saving fluffy creatures, and saving fluffy creatures again.
Having grown up surrounded by fluffy creatures, Fu Yu was a fairly conventional overbearing CEO, even though his love of fluffy animals didn't quite fit the role: powerful and ruthless.
That was until one day, when he suddenly gained the ability to foresee the misfortunes that would befall fluffy creatures.
And that's when things started to get strange...
It's hard not to sigh when you watch a perfectly good, coldhearted CEO get ruined by his fluffy-creature addiction.

Later, two rules distilled from hard-won experience and bloodshed spread throughout the business world:
The “must” rule: When negotiating a deal with President Fu of the Fu Group, you must bring at least one fluffy creature. It greatly increases your chances of closing the deal. This is known as the “Fluffy Beauty Strategy.”
The “absolutely don't” rule: If you don't want to die, absolutely do not bully or abuse fluffy creatures. At best, the Fu Group will blacklist you. At worst, your whole world will come crashing down.
Everyone in the business world treated these rules as gospel, ranking the first strategy as their top priority and never daring to cross the line set by the second.
Reader's note: This story was inspired by stray-animal rescue videos I came across online, as well as my own helplessness when faced with stray animals in real life. So I wanted to give these adorable fluffy creatures an all-powerful CEO as their caretaker, and hope their lives will be smooth and happy.
