Chapter 3: Miss secretary is a fujoshi! (2)
"Follow me to my office. We will start your interview right away."
Everyone was stupefied by Mr. Feng's words. They would never expect Mr. Feng to be tempted by a beautiful woman. But today might be the day where their expectation would be shattered. Just like a web drama, the handsome, cold CEO asked the female lead to meet him in his office.
Shi Qiang was uncomfortable having so many eyes glared at her with apparent hostility. But Xiaojun seemed to ignore their gazes and entered the private lift with Shi Qiang following him. He still retained his stern look, but inside his heart, Xiaojun was excited. He felt giddy to finally find a comrade.
The lift stopped at the top floor, Xiaojun walked to his office with Shi Qiang behind him, "Sir, how come you finished your lunch in less than fifteen minutes…" Aunty Xu was sitting at her desk when she found a young woman followed Xiaojun behind.
Aunty Xu gasped, "I—Is this?"
"I will hold an important interview with her. She might be my new secretary, please don't disturb us, Secretary Xu," Xiaojun said. Aunty Xu gawked at Xiaojun, who said that he wanted to leave for lunch and returned shortly after with a woman.
Did the sunrise from the west today?
"Sure, sure!" Aunty Xu said excitedly. She opened the door for Xiaojun and this new woman. After they went inside, Aunty Xu hurriedly texted her good friend, Xiaojun's mother, Feng Mei.
*Meimei, your son! Your son brings in a beautiful young woman to his office! You might have a grandchild soon!*
A minute later, Feng Mei replied:
*Finally! Keep an eye on that young lady, don't let her slip! If she needs something to make her stay, do it! Money is not a problem as long as Xiaojun get a girlfriend!*
Feng Mei was desperate to find a daughter-in-law and a grandchild because Xiaojun had rejected all her recommendations. If this young woman was his pick, as long as that woman had a clean background, then it was enough for her.

"Um, sir, I am ready for the interview," Shi Qiang said nervously.
"Sit down," Xiaojun said. He sat down on his chair and stared at Shi Qiang, who looked nervous yet expectant. Truthfully, Shi Qiang was a gorgeous young woman. She only wore thin makeup, but she still looked fresh and beautiful.
However, Xiaojun saw faint dark eye bags under her eyes. Which made him think of the possibilities, 'Did she spend the whole night binge reading a BL book? She is definitely my fellow comrade. I bet she woke up late because she didn't sleep last night.'
Shi Qiang fidgeted under the sharp gaze of Mr. Feng Xiaojun. It was cold, intimidating, yet tempting. She put her application document on the table and said once more, "Sir, I am ready for my interview."
"Right… interview," Xiaojun checked Shi Qiang's document, but he couldn't focus. Because he kept glancing at that Wei Wuxian keychain dangling on Shi Qiang's bag.
Xiaojun checked from the window, he saw that Aunty Xu was peeking from the window and glared at her. Xiaojun pressed the intercom and said, "Secretary Xu, go to the nearest restaurant and get me my usual lunch."
Aunty Xu was disappointed, but she had to respect young people's privacy. She left her desk and used the private lift to get Xiaojun's lunch.
After knowing that everything was clear, Xiaojun cleared his throat and warned Shi Qiang, "Miss, I will accept you as my new secretary immediately. But you have to keep my secret from anyone, it will be the secret of both of us and only for us. Because this secret would bind us together for a long time."
Shi Qiang's heart skipped for a moment when Mr. Feng said that. She never thought that Mr. Feng was this straightforward. What kind of secret would bind them together for a long time? Was it a dark secret from the past that would inevitably bind them together as a husband and wife in the end?
'Oh my god, this is like a web drama! I'm going to live the glorious drama life as a secretary and her handsome CEO!'
"I—I will keep you secret until my death, sir!" Shi Qiang replied excitedly.
Xiaojun saw the sincerity in her words. He was quite happy with her answer after he assured himself, Xiaojun took a deep breath and slid the drawer near his desk. He took something out from the drawer, a small trinket… and he slammed it on the table.
"HOW COULD YOU HAVE WEI WUXIAN WITHOUT LAN WANGJI!?" Xiaojun yelled loudly in front of Shi Qiang.
"… huh?" Shi Qiang gawked at the sudden yelling, Xiaojun's out of character behavior, and that small keychain of Lan Wangji, matching her Wei Wuxian keychain.
Shi Qiang stared blankly at that Lan Wangji keychain, and then shifted her eyes at Feng Xiaojun, who looked so passionate as he continued his speech, "Are you a real fujoshi?! How could you have that Wei Wuxian keychain without Lang Wangji by his side? This is an abomination!"
"Sir…?" Shi Qiang was unsure if he heard this right. How could the cold, intimidating CEO of Feng Group suddenly talk about Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji? They were the two main protagonists of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, one of the most popular BL novels.
"Fellow comrade! This is about dedication for our main ship! Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji went through an arduous road together. We can't separate them!" Xiaojun started rambling about many stuff that only rotten fujoshi or fudanshi knew.
At that moment, Shi Qiang's image of Feng Xiaojun as a cold, handsome…and straight CEO shattered into pieces.
