Chapter 437 Star-Crossed Lovers
Jin Liwei's comment was a simple animated sticker showing a cartoon of an angry white cat cracking its whip.
The netizens were taken aback. Such a cute kitty sticker… Was this something the cold and intimidating CEO Jin would comment publicly? Not to mention that it was the first post on his account ever! It was completely out of character. It was like seeing a big and mighty lion suddenly meowing like an adorable harmless kitty. They were unsure how to react.
"Uhm… I don't think it's CEO Jin. Wasn't Jin Corporation hacked during the end of summer? Maybe the hacker decided to hack CEO Jin's personal account this time."
"I think so, too. I don't believe CEO Jin will post something as cute as this. Besides, he's probably too busy running his business empire to waste his time posting on social media."
"CEO @Jin Liwei, is that really you?"
Surprisingly, Jin Liwei directly replied to this user.
JinLiwei: "Yes, it's me."
A moment of silence before the netizens started freaking out.
"OMG! Is this for real?! Kyaaaah! CEO Jin replied to me! I took a screenshot! CEO @JinLiwei, I love you so much! You're so handsome! Actually, I think that you're more handsome, cooler and manlier than your brother @JinChonglin! I'm your fan!"
"Stupid. So what if he says that it's him? That doesn't prove anything. If I was the hacker, of course I would also say that I'm CEO Jin Liwei if I was using his account. I bet that there will be an announcement later saying that CEO Jin's account got hacked. Don't get your hopes up."
The bizarre situation got juicier but also more confusing when Jin Chonglin replied to his brother's comment.JinChonglin: "Big Bro @JinLiwei, you already know about our announcement. You even gave us your blessing. Besides, it was your idea in the first place. Stop pretending to be angry about it. It's too late."
Then Jin Liwei's account replied to Jin Chonglin with another sticker. It was another animated cartoon of an angry white cat, but this time, it was slamming a door close presumably on his younger brother's face.
Jin Chonglin also replied with a sticker. It showed a dog sulking with its head down in front of a wall.
Everyone couldn't believe the brothers' super cute interaction. Was this for real? Maybe both of their accounts got hacked?
Jin Liwei's cute comments might be unbelievable, but Jin Chonglin's weren't that unusual. He frequently interacted with his fans online, so they could sense if it was really him behind his account. And they could sense that he was the one currently interacting with his older brother's account right now.
"OMG!!! What on earth is happening?!! Don't tell me it's really CEO Jin posting all those cute angry kitty stickers?!!! I'm shook!!!
"Looks like it. If it wasn't CEO Jin, I don't think Prince Lin Lin would reply so familiarly like that. And it really feels like the bantering between brothers. Holy smokes! Even if it was really CEO Jin, my brain just refuses to process that it was him. I can't connect those cute kitty stickers with his cold and scary image!"
"Same here. But let's take a step back for a moment and focus on why he's using those angry cat stickers. It looks like he's not pleased that Jin Chonglin will be making an announcement with Iris Long."
"Now that you mention it, you're right! Maybe CEO Jin and the entire Jin family don't approve of Jin Chonglin's relationship with Iris Long."
"But Prince Lin Lin just said that CEO Jin already knows about the announcement. He said that he even gave them his blessing, and also that it was his idea in the first place. Why is CEO Jin complaining now?""Maybe CEO Jin only barely approved of their relationship because the two begged him to accept it. He may have approved it, but it doesn't mean that he's happy with it."
This speculation made the LinRis shippers very unhappy with Jin Liwei.
"Go away, Jin Liwei! I don't care if you're the CEO of Jin Corporation or whatever! Don't try separating our Boss Iris and Prince Lin Lin or we'll…we'll…we'll call you ugly, you (gorgeous) poopoo-head!"
"Ah, my heart bleeds for Prince Lin Lin and Boss Iris. They're just like the star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet! Others are trying to come between them!"
"I swear I'll protest in front of Jin Corporation's main headquarters if CEO Jin doesn't approve of our Boss Iris for Prince Lin Lin!"
"Count me in!"
The LinRis shippers were now treating Jin Liwei as if he was the biggest villain in the path of their Boss Iris and Prince Lin Lin's path to a lifetime of marital happiness. They were encouraged when Jin Chonglin began liking their posts against Jin Liwei.
Jin Chonglin then posted another sticker. This time, it was of an animated dog pointing one of its paws while laughing uproariously.

Jin Corporation.Xu Tian knocked on the door twice before opening it and entering. He found his boss, Jin Liwei, working on his computer behind his massive desk.
Jin Liwei only gave a quick glance and a nod at his assistant before continuing to type away.
"President, here are some documents that need your attention," Xu Tian told him upon arriving in fron of his desk. "The first pile needs to be signed today while the others aren't as urgent."
"Leave them on the desk."
"Yes, President."
Xu Tian did as he was told. He was about to walk out of the office to make some refreshing tea for his boss when an adorable child's voice suddenly spoke.
"Excuse me, Daddy. Sorry to bother you, but are you busy? Meow~"
"Yes, I am. Why?" Jin Liwei replied while continuing to work on his computer.
"Oh, okay. Mommy was just asking if you're busy because she wants to talk to you. Ketchup will just tell her that Daddy can't talk right now because you're busy. Meow~"
Jin Liwei immediately paused what he was doing."I always have time for your mom. She can always talk to me. Tell her to call me—no, let's call her instead."
