\'Is he one of Mr. Yang\'s nephew? But he said that he is an only son…\'

Mr. Yang Zhuhuo was also surprised, but then his surprise turned into mirth as he patted the man\'s shoulder, "Ah, Jinxing! It\'s been a while indeed. How are your parents?"

"They are in good health, Uncle!"

"I see. I shall invite your dad for golf later. But, why are you here in the Feng Group office? A new business deal?" Mr. Yang asked..

"Oh no, I\'m just… uh… meeting with Mr. Feng. He is my friend," Jinxing replied, he smiled wide, though somehow I felt that he was actually lying through his teeth.

I noticed that Shi Qiang rolled her eyes as if she just heard something absolutely ridiculous, probably a blatant lie as well.

\'Ehh... why does this man need to lie to Mr. Yang about something so casual? Is he a dangerous man who has a shady deal with

"Oh, you are friend with Mr. Feng? Well, he\'s is around your age as well, right?" Mr. Yang said. The man named Jinxing nodded and then held the door for Mr. Yang.

"Uncle, you have a meeting with Xiao-Ge—I mean, with Mr. Feng, right? He is waiting for you!" Jinxing said. Mr. Yang nodded and entered the room for a private meeting with Mr. Feng, leaving us three, Shi Qiang, Jinxing, and me, awkwardly staring at each other.

This man named Jinxing scratched his head and asked Shi Qiang, "Ah, Secretary Shi, you didn\'t tell Uncle Yang about my business with Xiao-Ge, right?"

Shi Qiang sighed and shook her head, "How could I, Mr. Jiang. You\'re the first one to say that I should keep it a secret."

"Hehe, good. I just don\'t want Xiao-Ge to get in trouble. He has been working too hard, I don\'t want to ruin all his hard work…" Jinxing said.

Shi Qiang nodded lazily, "Yeah, sure, fine…"

Jinxing then glanced at me and then resumed his formal posture again. He stared at me for a few seconds before asking, "Hold on, have we met before? I feel like I\'ve seen you before, or maybe in a profile picture."

"Profile picture?" I tried remembering whether I\'ve uploaded my picture somewhere. But I remembered that I\'ve only posted it in my private social media account with only me, Shi Qiang, Shi Meili, and Shi Yanyue as mutual friends.

Oh, I\'ve also posted my picture as a profile picture in Rent A Boyfriend, too, I guess.

But how could a seemingly important man like Mr. Jinxing here know about my profile in Rent A Boyfriend?

"I don\'t remember meeting you before, Mister… uh…"

Mr. Jinxing stretched his hand for a handshake, which I accepted. "My name is Jiang Jinxing, the CEO of Jiang Group."

\'WHOA! So this is Jiang Young Master! I\'ve heard about him few times from Mr. Yang, but I\'ve never seen him. Who knows the Young Master who took over the company is actually very young and handsome! And that certain box smile reminds me of a real life idol in Meimei and Qiang\'s phone gallery once.

"Ah, it is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jiang. My name is Shi Ying, I am Mr. Yang\'s secretary—"

"And she is my sister," Shi Qiang interrupted me. I looked at her with my eyes widened. I just realized that Shi Qiang was very bold when talking with Mr. Jiang Jinxing. She didn\'t even care about his status as the CEO of Jiang Group! That group was the top three leading group in 2021, alongside Feng Group and Yang Group.

She was talking with the CEO and Young Master of Jiang Group like she was talking with her friend during a coffee break!

"Oh, really?" Jiang Jinxing asked as he looked at Shi Qiang. "Qiang, Did you showed me her picture before? I really think that I\'ve seen her once."

"No, I never show my sister\'s picture to anyone. I\'m afraid she\'ll get stalked by some crazy obsessed man," Shi Qiang replied. "Jinxing, why are you still here, though? You said you\'re only here for a lunch break, right?"

"Ah, well, my company isn\'t that far from here, so I just stopped by to feed my love with my homemade lunch, hehe~."

\'TO FEED HIS LOVE WITH HOMEMADE LUNCH?!\'

I started creating drama in my head. Maybe Shi Qiang and Jiang Jinxing had something between them that I didn\'t know. Shi Qiang wasn\'t exactly the type to tell about her personal life unless it was really bugging her. She was also the least spoiled out of my sisters and little cousin.

\'They look so comfortable together as if they\'ve known for quite a while right now. They also casually called each other\'s name. This is the CEO and Young Master of Jiang Group and Jiang Family. An old money family who had been staying in power for generations!\'

"Your love? Jinxing, you\'ve been really bold nowadays, huh?" Shi Qiang said.

"Of course! I\'m someone who\'s not afraid of telling my love!" Jiang Jinxing suddenly put his arm on Shi Qiang\'s shoulder and wrapped her shoulder, and pulled her closer. "Isn\'t that right, QiangQiang?"

\'QIANGQIANG?! OH MY GOD, IS THIS HAPPENING? IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING? MY CUTE, CRUEL, SLOPPY, GLUTTON, LAZY, DUMP TRUCK LITTLE SISTER ACTUALLY DATED YOUNG MASTER OF JIANG FAMILY?!\'

I was in too much shock that my leg was shaking. This was really unbelievable. But this could be Shi Qiang\'s ticket to wealthy life! She would be the first one in our family to marry a rich man!

\'Aish, I feel a bit jealous. If only I can have someone as rich and powerful as Jiang Jinxing as my boyfriend, Sigh…\'

It felt bad, I know. But for now, I should be rejoicing for my little sister\'s success! I already imagined what kind of wedding dress would be good for Shi Qiang. Whether we should do it western style, or traditional Chinese style.

Shi Qiang sighed and nodded, "Yeah, Jinxing. You\'re really the boldest one."

"Awww, don\'t call me Jinxing. Call me Xing\'er, but not Xing\'an. That one is reserved, hehe~" Jinxing said while chuckling happily.

"… Anyway, you should be leaving. You\'ve nothing to do in your office?"

"Hm… nothing much, but your sister interests me~," Jinxing said playfully.

"Hey! Don\'t do anything to my sister!" Shi Qiang snarled.

"Ahahaha! I\'m just wondering. I swear to have seen your sister once. But I don\'t know where," Jinxing darted his eyes at me. He approached me with his curious gaze and circled around as if he was looking at an interesting wax statue.

"Hm... no, I dont think I\'ve ever met you other than seeing your face, so this is definitely our first time meeting, but not my first time seeing your face," Jiang Jinxing commented.

I kept my silence, until he said, "Ah, sorry, but I think you need looser outfit..."

"HEY!"

\'So disrespectful!\' I yelled in my heart as I followed his line of sight. I glared at Shi Qiang, asking for help. What would happen if this boyfriend of hers was actually a sexual predator? He didn\'t seem to have any boundary of safe space either!

But Shi Qiang only shrugged and waved her hand, as if telling me that Jiang Jinxing was no trouble and wouldn\'t do anything hideous at me.

After Jiang Jinxing was satisfied with his evaluation by circling around me, he stood in front of me. He squinted, "Hm… did you happen to upload your profile picture on social media? Maybe in a dating site?"

"Dating site?" I frowned. Did Rent A Boyfriend app count as a dating site?

"I don\'t think so…" I denied.

"Ehh… really? Hm… it must be hiding somewhere in my brain. I\'m a busy man, you know, my head is filled with work and my beloved. So it\'s hard to remember everyone…"

Shi Qiang finally interrupted Jiang Jinxing\'s weird antics. Shi Qiang flicked Jinxing\'s head with her fingers, which made Jinxing darted his gaze at her confusedly, "What? Don\'t you see that I\'m trying to remember stuff here?"

"What remember stuff? This is the first time for you to meet my sister! You are making her uncomfortable!" Shi Qiang snarled again. It surprised me how bold she was and how Jinxing didn\'t seem to mind Shi Qiang\'s rudeness.

"Ehh… but I\'m also curious…" Jinxing pondered again, then he stared at me again like a curious kid looking at some strange toy. Jinxing hummed for a second, then asked, "I think I\'ve seen you as a profile picture in an account, hm… but in which app. I own plenty…"

Jiang Jinxing seemed to think hard, and then he blurted out, "OH YES! I think I remember now!"

Jiang Jinxing pointed at me with his index and stated loudly, "You are the woman that Yang-Ge keep pestering about!"

…

…

"Yang-Ge? Who is Yang-Ge?"
