Mr. CEO Secretly Reads BL! - Chapter 13: Let's kidnap a BL author! (1)

Xiaojun’s mind was in a state of calamity. He was not particularly fond of what he just read in the office right now. Shi Qiang, who had been tasked to review the documents before handing them out to Mr. Feng, frowned when she saw the absolute shock on Xiaojun’s face.

“Sir, are you alright?” Shi Qiang asked out of concern.

“This… this cannot be…” Xiaojun dropped his phone and fell on his knees dramatically, “THIS CANNOT BE!”

“Sir…?” Shi Qiang started thinking whether Mr. Feng had received his daily dose of BL smut or not. Because Mr. Feng would act groggy when he hadn’t had his coffee or lose his useless gacha game and would act dramatically when he hadn’t read his daily dose of BL smut.

Shi Qiang soon realized that she had been working with Xiaojun for a while, that she started getting hints of his bizarre habits.

Xiaojun picked up his phone and showed the screen to Shi Qiang, “Look at this! Can you believe this?!”

“Sir, you haven’t unlocked the phone yet. I only definitely not so shameless selfie as the wallpaper,” Shi Qiang scorned. She silently judged his boss, who repeatedly told her that he doesn’t want media attention but probably had gigabytes of selfies in his phone.

“Ah, that…” Xiaojun unlocked the phone and showed the real problem.

Shi Qiang read a notice on Xiaojun’s phone screen.

*Hi everyone! PupainDisguise here as your author! Thank you all for supporting my work, but I have been thinking about moving on from this story! I know some of you have donated money for this work, especially you, HandsomeFengXiaojun, who donated almost seventy thousand yuan for this work! Are you the real Feng Xiaojun? Since you are so rich, ahaha! Joking aside, I will return with other great works. Please stay tuned!’

“Can’t you believe this?! I’ve donated more than seventy thousand yuan or around ten thousand dollars! I told him if he wants more money, as long as he continues writing the story, I don’t care about the amount!” Xiaojun was fuming as he let out all his sadness in front of Shi Qiang.

“… why is your username HandsomeFengXiaojun? People might found out that you are the real deal and would spread rumors of you reading BL,” Shi Qiang said.

“Tsk, tsk, task, Secretary Shi, this is what we call reverse psychology. There are many people online with my name as their usernames, even my public picture as their profile pic. I’m just one of the thousands of Feng Xiaojuns on the internet.”

“…” somehow, Shi Qiang felt reluctant to accept the completely logical reason.

“Anyway, I can’t believe this author ends the story just like that! He ends the story right before MC and ML got married and have a child together! Arrggh, it’s so annoying!” Xiaojun ruffled his hair in frustration.

“A child? Aren’t you reading BL? Is that child adopted or…” Shi Qiang guessed in her heart.

“There is no adoption in the novel,” Xiaojun shook his head.

“Then, how can they get pregnant?! Don’t tell me this is a…”

Xiaojun giggled, “This is a mpreg novel, of course.”

‘… what kind of spicy chicken author have this kind of spicy chicken reader…’ Shi Qiang thought. But she dared not commenting out loud because Mr. Feng seemed to be very into this random author.

“There is no way of helping that, Sir. Some authors are just burnt out or got bored with their own stories. All we can do is move on,” Shi Qiang wisely said.

But Xiaojun couldn’t accept it, “But it’s hard to find a good story nowadays! No, I will not accept this. I have to make sure that the author continues writing this BL story no matter what! Secretary Shi, call the company that owns the writing website, tell them that I need to get one particular author’s contact. We shall take him hostage until he decides to start writing again.”

“Sir… that is a breach of privacy and an act of abduction. You might get in trouble,” Shi Qiang warned.

“That is true…” Xiaojun was thinking for a while, then said, “Give eighty thousand yuan as an incentive for that author, and give another eighty thousand for the company. It will help them cover stuff.”

“… Sir, using that much money from company funds will be frowned upon,” Shi Qiang warned again.

“Who said we will use company fund? I will pay it with my personal money,” Xiaojun said, “I still have enough spare money until next week. This is about commitment! This is a personal mission to rescue my favorite BL book!”

‘I should have asked more for my salary, goddamn it!’ Shi Qiang grumbled and started calling the online book company, just like what Xiaojun ordered.

*Hello, is this Qidinovel office? I am Shi Qiang, secretary of Mr. Feng Xiaojun from Feng Group. My boss is a particular fan of one story and wants to meet with the book’s author. Which book?*

Shi Qiang glanced at Xiaojun, and Xiaojun whispered, ‘(BL) Master-Slave Training System.’

Shi Qiang frowned at her boss’s book choice, but she repeated what her boss just said.

*What? Privacy? The author is unwilling? Mr. Feng said that he would donate eighty thousand yuan to the company and the author personally.*

*What? Of course, it is true. Okay, it is settled then.*

Shi Qiang seemed busy writing the contact number, and then she nodded;

*Yes, thank you for the contact number. The money will be sent tomorrow morning. Please tell the author that Mr. Feng is very eager to see him over dinner.”

After Shi Qiang got the contact number, Xiaojun took it, he seemed to be ecstatic, “Yes! I got his contact number. Now I can kidnap—I mean, now I can invite him for dinner!”

‘I definitely see a kidnapping in the making,’ Shi Qiang sighed.
