Chapter 79 - RENT A BOYFRIEND'S CEO! (2)

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?"

Both me and Shi Qiang tilted our head in confusion. Jiang Jinxing was an eccentric one, so I pondered whether Shi Qiang really liked this eccentric type of man. 

Jiang Jinxing hummed for a moment and then shook his head, "Well, he's just someone that I know. But I finally realize that I really have seen you once!" Jinxing said excitedly. "You're using that new popular app, Rent A Boyfriend, right?"

My jaw dropped as I heard him telling me my secret. I was trying to hide it from many people other than Shi Qiang, who would've to expect that her boyfriend actually knew. I glared at Shi Qiang, thinking that she was telling my secret to people. 

"What? I never told anyone!" Shi Qiang defended herself.. Then both of us glared at Jiang Jinxing, demanding an answer. "How did you know that my sister used that application? Are you a stalker?" Shi Qiang asked. 

"Whoa, whoa, that's a baseless accusation!" Jinxing also defended himself. "Didn't I tell you before, QiangQiang? About my new project that suddenly boomed! You should've praised me ah!" 

"What new project?" Shi Qiang asked. 

"Rent A Boyfriend app project! Dang it, how could you ignore me when I said that I'm the CEO of that app!"

"WHAT?!" Shi Qiang and I had our jaw dropped as we found out about the truth. It was like thunder in a clear sky. I didn't expect to meet the CEO of that cursed application here! Even worse, he was Shi Qiang's boyfriend! 

I really didn't believe that Shi Qiang didn't know about this, or else, how could I be so unlucky to meet Meng Bao? Out of everyone, why did I get entangled with Meng Bao in the first place?

…

'Wait, isn't that my own fault for hiring the cheapest boyfriend out of convenience and stinginess?'

…

Somehow, it left a sour taste in my lips, thinking that I wouldn't be able to blame someone else for my problem. I really wanted to blame this man for some reason because that app literally flipped my regular life upside down. 

I turned from a regular secretary who would be twenty seven years old soon, living a regular single life. And that app turned me into… well, a regular secretary who would be twenty seven years old soon…

But with MENG BAO!

That guy was seriously a mess. I felt like staying with him made me unable to think calmly since I would always be driven by this stupid emotion that was so foreign for me. It made me both uncomfortable and blissful. 

Uncomfortable because I never experienced this stuff, blissful because I actually experienced this stuff. 

And that stuff was love, of course. 

At least, I wanted to blame someone who made that crazy app! What kind of brain he had to make an app solely catering to single women who were so desperate to find a boyfriend, they just rented them instead? 

But what made me annoyed the most was the fact that my rental boyfriend acted not like a real rental boyfriend!

He didn't keep things business. My rental boyfriend made this whole business a personal thing!

"So you're the CEO of that cursed app? I have to submit a complaint!" I yelled at Jinxing's face. 

"Wha!? A c—complaint?! Why? Is there something wrong? Did your rental boyfriend treat you badly? Let me fire—" Jiang Jinxing paused and then seemed to think for a moment before shaking his head. "You know what, maybe we should take things in a civilized manner. What happens with your rental boyfriend? Is he doing things wrong? Is he not good enough to you? Or he is extorting money from you?"

"Ah, I don't think the last one is correct. That's just simply impossible," Jinxing pondered. 

I clicked my tongue annoyedly and complained, "One of your employee, who was my rental boyfriend, is such an annoying brat! He is an annoying big crybaby brat!"

"Eeeee… what did he do?" Jinxing asked worriedly. As if this was a matter of life and death situation. 

"Because he doesn't stay in line between the business and personal life! He entered my life and messing around, especially with his cute bunny expression! I seriously wanted to adopt and take care of him until I know he is not what he looks like!" I started spouting all my frustration to this man, whom I assumed was Shi Qiang's boyfriend.

So if he could stand Shi Qiang and all her antics, then he could stand a bit of complaint from his Jie. 

Jiang Jinxing was stunned for a moment. He seemed to be in deep thought before he said, "Um, I wonder… you're talking about one person, right? Only that one?"

"YES! I ONLY HAVE 1 RENTAL BOYFRIEND!" I answered with a frustrated yell. 

"Um… I will keep that in mind to improve our service. Thank you for your complaint, dear customer," Jinxing said so formally. 

I really wanted to smack his head this time until I realized that he was still the CEO of Jiang Group, which was one of the strongest and oldest group. So better not to go physical. 

But I still complained, though. 

"Why are you getting formal so suddenly? Are you that customer service who said things based on protocol!? Go fire him ah! His name in your Rent A Boyfriend App is 'Your Meng Bao'. Go fire him! He doesn't need to be in that application! He doesn't need desperate women's money!"

Jiang Jinxing seemed to be in a big dilemma and then scratched his head awkwardly, "Hehe, Miss Shi Ying, I'd rather not do that. I don't want trouble. Besides, he doesn't extort your money, right? Did he ever hit you physically? Or he ever cursed at you with vulgar words?"

"Well, no, he treats me really good, but—"

"So all is well, correct? I believe there is nothing better than finding a real boyfriend from that Rent A Boyfriend app! It's our tagline!"

"Wait, your tagline is why bother finding love when you can rent it! What are you changing your tagline so suddenly?!" I protested. 

"Ehe, that… don't you see I'm the CEO of Rent A Boyfriend app! I've changed the tagline just now! The new tagline is… With Rent A Boyfriend App, you can find your true love! That true love will definitely be good to you. What are you waiting for? Just accept him already and marry him, so I don't need to handle all his excessive and crazy demand!" Jiang Jinxing said. 

'Why does that sound more like his personal complaint?' I pondered. Jiang Jinxing's attitude actually got me suspicious. Especially on how he said that he had seen me in a profile picture. 

Jiang Jinxing was a CEO, a very busy one. How could he have time to check on a profile of a random user in his app? There were probably a hundred thousand, or even million accounts in that application. Since it was booming crazily around the nation, I even heard it would have an international release. 

So there was no way the CEO would have time to check and remember the face of me, a random woman in that app. Unless he was a male lead of a rom-com novel, I doubt it since he was already Shi Qiang's boyfriend. 

'Now that I think about it, he mentions someone as Yang-Ge. And he knows me because Yang-Ge keeps on pestering about me…'

…

'Don't tell me?!'

"Why did you say that you know me because your 'Yang-Ge' keeps pestering you about me? Who is this Yang-Ge you're talking about?" I asked with my scrutinizing gaze. 

Jiang Jinxing gulped. He glanced at Shi Qiang, trying to find help, but Shi Qiang only leaned on the wall ad crossed her arms like a villain. As if she was actually enjoying the show right now. As expected from my vicious sister. 

Jiang Jinxing was cornered by two women, and he seemed to get scared, so he tried to back down from his claim and said, "W—Well, I think I just browsing through my own app and for your profile account, Miss Shi Ying. I really don't know what Yang-Ge you're talking about? Haha." He laughed awkwardly, trying to escape from the situation. 

He wanted to actually escape after he said, "W—Well, I think I have something in the office, maybe a meeting? Hmm, I'm sure a busy one, right, QiangQiang?" Jinxing said. "Maybe I should leave now. Goodbye Qiang, goodbye Miss Shi Ying."

Jiang Jinxing hurriedly sidestepped me and wanted to run away, but I grabbed his collar and said, "Don't run away from your Big Jie. I'm not done talking yet, and you haven't replied to my question! Don't you know that Jie's approval for your relationship with Shi Qiang is important? I'm basically her guardian here!"

Now it was Shi Qiang and Jinxing who got stunned by my statement. Shi Qiang, who enjoyed the show, finally interrupted, "Jie… what on earth are you talking about?"
