Original poster is male and straight (emphasized). Boss is a well-known figure in the financial circle, known for being quite particular in personality. The situation is a bit complicated.

The situation began when my nephew traveled a long way to send me a kitten at the office. He was cheeky and spoiled, not considering the fact that I might not be allowed to have pets at home. He didn’t discuss it with me beforehand, and just put the cat in a box and delivered it directly to my office.

At that time, I was busy with year-end planning and didn’t pay much attention. Boss kept staring at my desk while patrolling the office. I don’t usually interact much with the boss, so this was the first time I caught his attention. He’s usually a very serious person, and I was afraid he might find fault with me. I was nervous for quite a while but couldn’t figure out if there was any issue.

After the boss passed by in front of me at least three times, I finally noticed my folder was shaking.

I’m a materialist and don’t believe in supernatural entities. My mind short-circuited at that moment, and I didn’t even consider that boss was staring at my folder. I opened the folder and found it was the box that was shaking. Without much thought, I opened it.

Inside the box was a calico kitten. At that moment, boss’s face turned black. Before I could react, the kitten jumped onto the boss’s shoulder and bit into his suit, tearing a large hole in it.

I was also helpless. What could I do!

My colleagues subjected to the boss’s tyranny all year round, dared not even glance over. There was no mediator among us, and the situation became extremely awkward for a while.

As I mentioned before, our boss is overly particular. He’s a neat freak and extremely picky. His suit alone might cost more than several months of my salary. At that moment, I was terrified and broke into a cold sweat. Forget about any bonus; my job might be at stake.

Boss’s face was as dark as charcoal. He didn’t say anything. He just grabbed the cat from his shoulder and threw it into my arms, instructing me to follow him to his office.

To put it another way, that calico cat was quite adorable. Our Chinese domestic cats are awesome. At a crucial moment, it acted cute, and what’s infuriating is that I softened when I saw its green eyes. I’m truly a man without principles.

Blood kept dripping from my heart.

I immediately went over to apologize to the boss. That suit was indeed not cheap. However, my boss acted as if nothing had happened, perhaps because a tycoon doesn’t care about such small sums of money.

Poverty limits my imagination.

But I couldn’t get over it ah. I’ve diligently worked for such a long time, and a month’s salary can’t even cover a fraction of it.

Boss was busy looking at the computer screen and didn’t see my distressed face. In fact, he probably didn’t even want to look at me and said, “It’s okay, don’t worry about it.”

I can only humble myself, grovel, and almost kneel down to call him “Father.” I’m just begging for the boss’s magnanimity.

Guy, please don’t interrupt. I regret posting my problem here. My heart is bleeding, and you guys aren’t offering any substantial advice. All I get are “hahas” and “666s.” If “hahas” and “666s” were useful, I wouldn’t be in such a miserable state.

Also, I’m really straight. Please don’t ship me with the boss. He’s interested in my roommate. You guys are really scary. My hair is standing up in the middle of the night.

Where did we stop? Right, he said to me, “You have a good relationship with Li XX, huh?”

Li XX is a recent graduate and just got regularized. He’s so tender that you can pinch out water from him. We both graduated from the same university. We were in the same club before and played cards together every day. Being his senior, I take care of him. We’re currently sharing a rented place.

Li XX is really good-looking. Those idol-like fresh meat boys on TV don’t even compare to his pinky finger. You guys won’t get a chance to see him in person, but I can vouch for him. I swear I’m not lying.

Went off topic there. Initially, when the boss started asking about Li XX, I didn’t think much about it. I just straightforwardly mentioned that Li XX and I are roommates, and our relationship is generally okay.

Later, out of the blue, the boss said, “Do you know that I am gay?”

At that moment, I was baffled. I thought to myself, ‘How could I know something even your own mother might not know?’ After a while, I sensed something was off. Based on my straight-guy instincts, Li XX is good-looking, never had a girlfriend, and might lean towards being gaygay.

Actually, I’m quite open-minded; I don’t discriminate against homosexuals.

The boss said, “Do you understand?”

At that moment, I wished I could nod a hundred and eighty times to show that I understood.

The more I thought about it, the more it didn’t add up. Why did boss bring up Li XX for no reason ah? After mentioning Li XX, he then says he’s gay. Is there any necessary connection between these two things?

The moment I walked out of the office, I suddenly understood everything.

I’m well aware of the situation. With boss’s subtle intentions, isn’t he just trying to approach Li XX? Damn, ah. I’m like the matchmaker for Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying. As long as I can sweet-talk the boss and he doesn’t pursue today’s matter, I’ll be f*ckng thanking the heavens.

Li XX isn’t here today. I’m seeking advice from you all, esteemed individuals, on how to chase men. I need to clean my cat’s litter box now. I’ll keep following up if there are any new developments tomorrow.
