Ji Zhinan entered Ji Pengfei's study, which was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Ji Pengfei sat in a chair in his pajamas, seemingly unaware that Ji Zhinan was standing there, busy with his own things.
Ji Zhinan wasn't in a hurry; he just silently stared at him.
After a long while, Ji Pengfei finally looked up, his emotionless eyes fixed on Ji Zhinan.
What have you been up to lately?
It was rare to hear him say anything that showed concern for Ji Zhinan.
However, something unusual must be going on. Ji Zhinan's tone was indifferent, which was quite obedient.
"I'm preparing to study for graduate school, and... I'm waiting for my dad to arrange a job for me at the company for training."
Ji Pengfei's eyes flashed, and he automatically ignored the second sentence. He asked again.
"Why did you suddenly decide to pursue a master's degree?"
Ji Zhixia disliked studying, so she dropped out of university after graduation and had no intention of pursuing further education. Ji Zhinan, on the other hand, graduated from university at a young age and should have had a bright future. However, Madam Ji was afraid that Ji Zhinan's higher education level would put her daughter at a disadvantage, so she resolutely prevented Ji Zhinan from continuing her studies, which resulted in Ji Zhinan only having a university degree.
Fortunately, she is only twenty years old, and it is not too late for her to pursue a master's degree at this age.
Ji Zhinan stood ramrod straight, his eyes indifferent and detached: "Books are not only life, but also the source of cultural life in the present, past, and future."
"..."
Ji Pengfei choked and coughed, "That's true, it's good to read more books. You're not that old, so it's good to focus on your studies."
"Actually, you can't say that." Ji Zhinan's lips curled up into a smile: "Studying alone is not enough. You also need to practice. They say that practice makes perfect. I'm waiting for Dad to arrange a job for me at the company so that I can intern and train myself."
Ji Zhinan couldn't stop talking about going to the company.
Ji Pengfei pretended not to hear and changed the subject: "I heard from your sister that you know the founder of the luxury brand Queen, who is also the international designer Elsa?"
He asked very directly, without any attempt to hide his true feelings.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Pengfei's eagle eyes were fixed on Ji Zhinan, not missing her every move. Ji Zhinan's little thoughts could not escape his eyes.
Ji Zhinan didn't intend to run away. She didn't bother to meet his eyes. She remained calm and composed, without any panic: "I wouldn't call myself an acquaintance."
"..."
“I just happened to pass by Queen’s store while shopping a few days ago. Coincidentally, the designer Elsa was in the store. She thought I had a good temperament, so she asked me to try on her store’s signature ‘Queen’. I was basically a free model.”
Ji Zhinan briefly explained why he was at the banquet, why he was wearing Queen's signature dress, and why he knew Elsa.
If it was just a free modeling gig, then all of this makes sense.
The banquet was indeed grand, but it would have been easy for someone of Elsa's status to attend.
Hearing Ji Zhinan's explanation, Ji Pengfei was somewhat disappointed. He had thought that this little girl had managed to get on the good side of some important person.
But then he thought, Ji Zhinan is weak and incompetent, and has a very small heart. What great abilities could his good-for-nothing adopted daughter possibly have?
Thinking about it this way, Ji Pengfei felt relieved. It seemed that his wife and Xiaxia had overthought things; Ji Zhinan was nothing to them.
Seeing Ji Pengfei visibly relax, Ji Zhinan's lips curled up into a mysterious smile.
Sure enough, it was about that matter.
