Chapter 4: Miss secretary is a fujoshi! (3)
"Is this for real?" Shi Qiang asked herself out of shock. After Xiaojun finished his long speech about the importance of the main ship, he cleared his throat and replied:
"Miss Shi, you will start working with me tomorrow, okay?" Xiaojun typed something in his phone and then said, "I already told Aunty Xu, my previous secretary, about you. She will tell you about the work here. Remember to come early and always remind me about my schedule."
"Did I get hired? Because of… Wei Wuxian?" Shi Qiang was dazed the whole time. She was still trying to process everything that had happened in front of her.
"Well, I need a secretary that will have no intention of creating some unnecessary drama. I picked you immediately because you are also my fellow comrade!" Xiaojun said enthusiastically.
"Unnecessary drama? So, Mr. Feng? Are you…" Shi Qiang couldn't say the word. She was a hardcore fujoshi, but she had never met someone who would blatantly confess such a taboo thing in their society.
"Hm? Am I what?"
"Are you... that, you know… rubber pencil bent, rainbow, sword fighting… cut-sleeve…" Shi Qiang was squeezing her brain, trying to address the big elephant in the room without offending her new boss. She lowered her gaze, afraid that her boss would be angry with her trying to pry his private life, "F—Forget it, sir, I do not mean to…"
…
There was no answer from Feng Xiaojun. Shi Qiang thought that she really had offended her boss the minute she got hired. Although her dream of having a love life with a handsome CEO had been shattered, she still needed the job.
The moment she raised her head, she saw Mr. Feng was busy reading something on his phone, totally ignored her rambling before.
"Kyaah, so cute!" the cold and handsome Mr. Feng Xiaojun was currently squealing as he scrolled something on his phone. Curious, Shi Qiang raised her neck and peeked at the phone screen.
Turned out, Mr. Feng Xiaojun had been ignoring her for a while because he was reading a new BL manga on his phone. Once again, Shi Qiang's wonderful imagination about cold, intimidating, domineering, handsome, and STRAIGHT CEO had been shattered to pieces. Mr. Feng also stomped at her shattered dream cruelly.
"Damnit!" unable to accept the reality, Shi Qiang slammed the table, shocking Xiaojun along the way.
"W—What?!" Xiaojun concentration dispersed once his new secretary slammed the table.
"Mr. Feng, I'm asking you!"
"Asking me about what?"
"Goddamn it! Are you a homo-homo, gong-shou, seme-uke, top-bottom, rainbow bridge, cut sleeve, sword fight—?" Shi Qiang listed all possible hints to her new boss nonstop, like a barrage of bullets on Xiaojun's head, he was unable to process it.
"Huh…?" Xiaojun gawked at Shi Qiang's sudden rambling. Seeing the stupid expression of her new boss, Shi Qiang couldn't handle it anymore and asking out loud,
"MR. FENG, ARE YOU GAY?"
Xiaojun almost fell from his chair as he got startled by the big bullet that Shi Qiang yelled out loud. Xiaojun stood from his chair immediately and covered Shi Qiang's mouth.
He glanced at the secretary desk outside and was relieved once he found that Aunty Xu hadn't returned yet. He would be in big trouble if Aunty Xu heard it. Xiaojun took a relieved breath and pulled his hand from Shi Qiang's lips.
"Don't mention that anymore in public. It will be big trouble if someone finds out," Xiaojun warned. Shi Qiang saw the worry in Mr. Feng Xiaojun's eyes. It made me feel guilty, "I'm sorry, sir. I will not ask about it again."
"No, no, it's okay. You are my fellow comrade," Xiaojun smiled, "Yes, I'm a full time, hardworking gay."
'Wait, why full time? Is there a part-time gay? Bisexual?' Shi Qiang started wondering in her head. Mr. Feng pulled her back to reality by saying;
"Miss Shi Qiang, I trust you for this secret. I'm still a closeted gay, I don't want this secret to be leaked in any way," Xiaojun said.
Shi Qiang felt burdened in her heart. Sure, she was a fujoshi, and she was not a blabbermouth either. But this is a big secret, she was afraid that her tongue accidentally slipped, "Sir, what if I accidentally told someone about it?"
Feng Xiaojun's smile vanished instantly, he cupped his hand together and stared at Shi Qiang with deep and hostile eyes, "If you dare to inform someone about this, then I will make sure that your family will never know you exist in this world."
Shi Qiang shuddered. She gulped at the possibility that Feng Xiaojun could make her disappear from this world, knowing how wealthy and powerful Feng Group was. She instinctively rubbed her neck, thinking this might be her last day.
"… pfft! Ahahaha!" Xiaojun couldn't control his facial expression any longer. He laughed out loud when he saw Shi Qiang was terrified by his threat.
"Don't worry, Miss Shi. I don't do something like that. My portfolio has been clean, and I don't want to dirty my track record," Xiaojun seemed to think about something for a minute. And he continued, "Maybe if you accidentally slipped your tongue, I will say to the media that it was just a joke that got blown out of proportion. I will lay low until the news died down."
"It will be quite sad, though. I have a good feeling that we will be acquainted for a long time, so please, try not to leak it as much as you can, okay?" Xiaojun gave a cheery smile at Shi Qiang.
Shi Qiang never saw someone as high and mighty as Feng Xiaojun would say 'please' to her, even smiled at her. Shi Qiang noticed something when Mr. Feng smiled, he had a deep, one-sided dimple on his left cheek.
Shi Qiang thought that Mr. Feng would be an arrogant, domineering boss, but it seemed that the image had also been shattered. Shi Qiang smiled and promised, "Since Mr. Feng Xiaojun trusts me about this secret, then I will keep my mouth shut. This secret is with me until my death!"
Xiaojun chuckled, the light atmosphere was broken once Shi Qiang asked something, "Mr. Feng, can I ask something?"
"Sure!"
Shi Qiang cleared her throat, and she asked, "How many men have you been sleeping with? What is your position? Top or Bottom?"
