Chapter 2: Miss secretary is a fujoshi! (1)
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep!
"Aish, shut up phone," Shi Qiang turned off her phone alarm as she stretched her body. She was pretty comfortable in her current sleeping position, covered in a warm blanket, hugging a pillow.
She closed her eyes again and snuggled in.
Until she realized that she had an interview today.
"Oh shi" Shi Qiang opened her eyes wide, and she ran to the bathroom. She hurriedly washed her face and applied lotion to freshen her horribly tired face. She picked the white shirt, gray blouse, and knee-length skirt.
'How could I forget about the interview today!? Goddamn, you bunch of handsome men!' Shi Qiang was cursing in her heart while quickly applying foundation eye cream first on her face. She blamed that new BL manhwa she just purchased online, painter of the night, for taking her whole night binge reading.
"Ugh, my eyebags are really bad!" Shi Qiang complained. She was that type of reader who would stockpile and spent her night sleepless reading a BL novel or comic. Shi Qiang spent at least twenty minutes applying her thin makeup and rushed to the train station. She checked her watch few times to make sure that she wasn't late.
Today was her first interview in a big group after two years of spending her time working as an SEO, aka Slave of Everything, in her previous company with few other people. This was her chance to get a proper job with a good salary after being enslaved by her previous company.
Shi Qiang was a twenty-five-year-old career woman who always dreamed of working as a secretary of the CEO in a big company. She always wanted to be like Secretary Kim in that Manhwa; what's wrong with secretary Kim? It would be even better if Mr. CEO is interested in her, so she could live in that secretary dream.
She hit the jackpot once she got a call from Feng Group about her application. Of course, she knew about Feng Xiaojun, that wealthy, handsome, twenty-eight-year-old single CEO. That man was a dream man for every woman in this city, well, including her.
She always wanted to be embraced by Mr. CEO and showered with a lot of money, especially the money part. Shi Qiang hurriedly entered the Feng Group building and showed her application to the receptionist.
The receptionist checked the time and shook her head. She returned the application paper to Shi Qiang, "Miss, you are already late for the interview. All other applicants have finished their interview with Mr. Feng."
Shi Qiang was stumped, she knew that her chance of getting accepted was slim, but at least, she should try the interview first, "Please, at least, give me a chance! At least let me do an interview with Mr. Feng!"
"I'm sorry, miss, but Mr. Feng is very busy. He doesn't have time to spare for you," the receptionist was annoyed by this young woman who was late for her interview but still had the audacity to ask for an interview. Mr. Feng Xiaojun was a busy man with no time to spare. How could he spare his time for an unknown woman?
"BBut, I was late because because"
'Should I tell her that I spend the whole night binge reading Boys Love manhwa and forgot about the interview today? I feel like I would be kicked out immediately if I said so,' Shi Qiang thought.
"No, miss, please leave now before I call the security," the receptionist slammed Shi Qiang down again and ignored her pleas.
"Please, at least let me meet Mr. Feng first!" Shi Qiang persistently begged until she and the receptionist got into an argument.
Everyone in the main lobby glanced at this audacious young woman who begged for Mr. Feng to spare his time solely for her. They shook their head, thinking that this woman must be crazy. Mr. Feng had never been swayed by a beautiful woman in his life. He lived like a monk.
Even if this young woman was beautiful, it wouldn't be enough to cover her incompetency.
"What is the commotion here?" Xiaojun had just finished interviewing all seven applicants and rejected all of them. Xiaojun felt that none of them were competent enough to be his new secretary. Besides, they seemed to be proper ladies with proper upbringing. He didn't want any of them to have funny ideas inside their head, such as trying to catch his attention by acting coquettishly.
"A-Ah, Mr. Feng, pardon me, but this woman over here is one of the applicants for the interview with you today, but she is late. So I ask her to leave," the receptionist said politely.
Shi Qiang looked up to meet Feng Xiaojun's contemptuous gaze. He was surprisingly taller than what she imagined, probably around 185 centimeters. He was handsome, just like his photo in the magazine showed. Still, he emitted a cold, intimidating aura around him, "SSir please give me a chance, I"
Xiaojun sneered, "I'm sorry, miss, but I don't accept incompetency. You may apply in another company instead."
"BBut" Shi Qiang had lost all her courage. Since Mr. Feng said no, then she had no chance. She clenched her fist, but in the end, she bowed her head a bit and thanked Mr. Feng for his time.
She turned her back and walked out to leave the main lobby. Xiaojun was about to leave the building to grab lunch in the nearest restaurant before another scheduled meeting in the evening. But he noticed a keychain hanging on Shi Qiang's bag dangled, calling his true nature as a rotten fudanshi.
It was a keychain with a very familiar character for Xiaojun. He would not call himself a true fudan if he didn't know this character.
'Wei Wuxian from Grandmaster of Demonic cultivation!' Xiaojun took one step and caught Shi Qiang by the wrist.
"Wait!"
"Eh? Ah" Shi Qiang was stunned when she felt a strong hand gripped her wrist. She turned her head and met Feng Xiaojun's sharp eyes, "PPardon, Sir?"
Everyone in the main lobby gasped when the cold Mr. Feng Xiaojun suddenly held a random girl's hand, even telling her to wait. It was like a drama moment with the beautiful female lead and handsome cold CEO.
"Follow me to my office. We will start your interview right away."
