"I understand, Dad. I'll definitely get everything arranged in the next couple of days," Ji Pengfei replied, forcing a smile.
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression finally improved.
………
After exchanging a few more words in the living room, Ji Zhinan went for a walk with the old man. No sooner had the grandfather and grandson left than Ji Pengfei asked his wife to follow him to the study.
Clearly sensing her husband's irritability, Mrs. Ji felt extremely uneasy.
After closing the study door, Madam Ji looked at her husband sitting in his seat and cautiously began to speak.
"Pengfei, are you angry?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Pengfei glared at her fiercely: "You know that too?"
"..." Madam Ji choked.
"Who told you to mention the company!"
Ji Pengfei let out a low growl, which made Madam Ji tremble.
Seeing her husband so angry, Madam Ji truly regretted her actions.
Despite all his efforts, his daughter's job remained unsettled, which ironically benefited Ji Zhinan greatly.
However, Madam Ji was reluctant to admit that she was wrong, and she defended herself in a low voice.
“You know how biased your dad is. He treats that bastard Ji Zhinan like a treasure. If I don’t fight for it, he will definitely give all the shares and the company to Ji Zhinan. For Xiaxia’s future, I, as her mother, have to fight for it!”
"You think I'm dead?" Ji Pengfei glared at her. "I'm in charge of the company now. Do you think I'd hand it over to Ji Zhinan?"
"..." Madam Ji felt guilty.
Didn't she not expect this...?
Ji Pengfei was furious.
It's utterly foolish to make excuses for your stupidity when you're clearly brainless!
But now it's a done deal, and blaming Madam Ji won't change anything.
Ji Pengfei rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He needed to figure out what to do.
…………
Ji Zhinan knew, of course, that Ji Pengfei didn't want her to work for Ji's company, but what could she do? She just wanted to annoy him.
Time flies, there are still two days until the banquet begins.
"Nan Nan, is your dress ready?" Xing Fei reminded her from the other end of the video call.
Ji Zhinan has been busy with new investments lately and hasn't had time to go shopping.
Xing Fei could tell everything just by looking at her expression. She said, "I just found out that the banquet the day after tomorrow is not an ordinary small party. There will be many important people attending. You will be embarrassed if you don't dress up properly."
The banquet the day after tomorrow is extremely high-class, and only high-society ladies and socialites can attend; the richest people are the only ones who can afford it.
Originally, the Xing family was not qualified to participate, but thanks to ZN's recent discovery of oil fields and the company's rapid turnaround after its revival, creating one business legend after another, they were fortunate enough to be invited.
Like Ji Pengfei, whose name was originally on the banquet list, but after being frequently suppressed by ZN and powerless to resist, he was removed from the list.
The Mu family is the same; Wu Yan'e has already prepared a dress and plans to bring Mu Minmin to the event, hoping that if they are lucky, she can find a good husband for her daughter.
However, ever since Mu Minmin was exposed for making rude remarks and looking down on the poor, the company's image has plummeted. Two days ago, the Mu family received a notice that they didn't need to attend the banquet.
This infuriated Mu Daxiang.
"If all else fails, I'll call the DR store later and ask them to pick out any item for me and send it over..." Anyway, DR's clothes are all pretty good.
No sooner had she finished speaking than someone knocked on her office door.
Ji Zhinan looked up: "Go in."
The door was pushed open, and several people carefully carried in an enormous object.
Ji Zhinan was stunned when he saw the item: "This is..."
