Capítulo 8: Mr CEO, please focus... WRONG FOCUS! (3)

Shi Qiang could only sigh and followed her boss' will, "Yes, sir. You are free the whole afternoon, definitely, one-hundred-percent free. But I will make sure that you will be busy working until late at night tomorrow."

Xiaojun could sense the passive-aggressiveness of Shi Qiang's words, but his mind was already out there, imagining a date with Jinxing, maybe a romantic candlelight dinner? Maybe flew to Paris right here, right now? Anyway, he didn't care about Shi Qiang's warning at all!

Jinxing smiled and said, "Mr. Feng, would you mind if we use my car? I drive it myself."

'HOLY SHIT! SURE!'

"Mhm," Xiaojun nodded once, giving his agreement.

"Great, I will wait for you in the lobby!" Jinxing walked out of the meeting room first to prepare his car. Xiaojun felt flattered because a CEO, who was also the young master of Jiang Family, willingly took Xiaojun out for lunch together.

His mind was clouded pink as he showed his unbridled smile in front of Shi Qiang. Shi Qiang shook her head. She was helpless on how to help this virgin Fudan.

"Boss, I will move every meeting today for tomorrow, are you sure with that?" Shi Qiang asked.

"Yes, yes, sure," Xiaojun replied without thinking twice. He hopped happily and left Shi Qiang alone in the meeting room. Shi Qiang watched her boss' back, and she sighed;

"If Jiang Jinxing is also gay, then I guess I'm just inherently unlucky since birth. Maybe my parents forgot the Fengshui when they made me," Shi Qiang said as she lamented her fate. Now, she had to work extra because she had to call reschedule all meetings today.

Xiaojun used the lift and hurriedly walked to the main lobby. He saw Jinxing standing near the entrance. Jinxing excitedly waved his hand, which made Xiaojun's lips curled up slightly.

Jinxing drove an Aston Martin, he courteously opened the door for Xiaojun, and they left Feng Group office. Xiaojun stared straight on the road but couldn't help but steal glances from time to time on Jinxing.

Jinxing was indeed a sunny, handsome young man. His slightly arched eyebrows and almond eyes created a refreshing feeling for Xiaojun.

'So handsome, definitely my type…'

Then slowly, Jinxing's cheek got redder, and he turned tomato red, "M—Mr. Feng, please don't stare at me too much. It's embarrassing."

"Ah—! Oh! I—I'm sorry!" Xiaojun lowered his head immediately. He really lost in thought for a moment and stared at Jinxing shamelessly.

"It's okay. It's just a bit… embarrassing," Jinxing mumbled softly.

They were silent the entire way to the restaurant, too embarrassed to speak. The awkward atmosphere dissipated once they reached the destination, a Michelin restaurant with a city view. Though it was only for casual lunch, Jinxing tried his best to treat Xiaojun with the utmost respect.

***

They were sitting in the spot near the balcony. The food was fantastic as always, but Xiaojun's mind was not focused on the lunch. He kept thinking about what topic they should talk about. He was not used to be the initiator! He was always the one who kept his silence and nodded with a cool act to preserve his dignity.

'Should I talk about sports? Yah, no, no, I don't even know about soccer league.'

'Maybe a comic book? Tv series? Novel?! Damn, I don't know anything that is non BL! Should I talk about how cute Mew and Gulf are in Tharntype?!'

'I'm so screwed.'

Jinxing himself was also quite nervous. He saw that Mr. Feng seemed to be in deep thought. Maybe he was thinking about another business deal. Jinxing had been admiring Feng Xiaojun since he heard about his achievement. Feng Xiaojun was a big deal because he was a young CEO that could soar so high and beat everyone, even the old moneys in this competition.

"M—Mr. Feng, I've always been looking up to you," Jinxing said embarrassedly. He dared not raise his head, afraid that he would be damned as unprofessional by the cold CEO.

"Hm? Me? Why?" Xiaojun asked calmly.

'Oh la la~ Of course, you have been looking up to me because of my amazing charm, right?' Xiaojun was secretly dancing around in his mind. He was excited for himself.

"Because you are an amazing businessman. You are still young, but you can beat the old players and stand on top. I am striving to be a man like you!" Jinxing said enthusiastically.

Xiaojun smiled thin, and then replied with similar compliments, "You are even younger than me, Mr. Jiang. And apparently, you are already set to be a great businessman in the future."

"Ah… I'm not that good," Jinxing couldn't hide his blush at all, "A—Also, please call me Jinxing instead, if you don't mind."

'It would be better if I can call you Xing'er, or wife, the… ehehe…' Xiaojun thought.

"Fine, then please call me Xiaojun, Jinxing."

Jinxing gulped, it was such great honor for him to be able to call Mr. Feng by his given name, "T—Thank you, Xiaojun…"

That name lasted in his tongue for a while, giving Jinxing a fantastic aftertaste. It was such a delightful name to call someone.

The atmosphere was a lot more cheery than before. After they ended the lunch, Xiaojun thought that Jinxing would leave first. But to his surprise, Jinxing asked him again, "Xiaojun, I… can I show you the reason why I came to the meeting late? It's a place near this restaurant. In fact, we can just take a short walk, if you don't mind."

Xiaojun raised his brow, but he only nodded once and followed Jinxing.

They walked from one store to another. Xiaojun was left wondering in his head, and his thought was mostly about immoral stuff;

'Xing'er is definitely taking me out to a hotel! We are going to check in the hotel and do the… Aaaaaa! Don't do this. I'm still a virgin!'

However, to his surprise, Jinxing stopped in front of a cat café painted with all pink and white, "We are here."

Xiaojun was dazed as he stared at the cats who played around or just laze at one spot inside the café, "A cat café?"

Jinxing was embarrassed, but he felt that it was very unprofessional to delay the meeting for one hour. Although this was a bit weird, he wanted to show Xiaojun at last, "There is also a cat shelter behind the café, and also a veterinarian. This place is fully funded by me."

Jinxing guided Xiaojun inside the cat café, and the cats meowed intimately at Jinxing once they saw him. Jinxing patted few cats before entering the cat shelter behind.

Xiaojun noticed that the shelter had a lot of stray cats that got serious wounds or illness. There were a vet and her assistants treating a new cat, "How's this little guy?" Jinxing asked as he approached the vet.

"Ah, sir, he had an infection on his stomach, but he should be fine now," the vet said.

Jinxing used latex gloves and gently patted a small stray cat that had been sedated. Then he looked at Xiaojun, who stood silently, his eyes also darted at the cat;

"I found this little guy on my way to the meeting, so I have to come here first to get him treated. Xiaojun, I know it's very unprofessional of me, but please forgive me for this time."

Xiaojun only nodded to give Jinxing a bit of relief in his heart. Xiaojun stared at the cat, and then Jinxing, who was smiling while patting the cat. Xiaojun sighed;

'Ah, this is bad. Jinxing is totally my type. I might fall in love too fast. This is bad for my heart, but if he insists—'

Xiaojun's line of thoughts was interrupted by the sound of a phone call coming from Jinxing's phone. Jinxing checked the caller and then looked at Xiaojun;

"Please excuse me, my girlfriend is calling."
