The questions I wanted answered have been answered; now there's one last thing left...
Ji Pengfei coughed and said in a serious tone, "I am very pleased that you are willing to learn. I was originally having a headache about arranging a job for you. After all, you are my daughter, and everyone will be watching you when you join the company. If you don't work hard, you will be embarrassing me. But you are too young, so I can't arrange those important positions for you."
He spoke very vaguely, but his words conveyed the message that Ji Zhinan was too young and shouldn't be given a high position.
He wanted to be good to Ji Zhinan, but after all, they were in the company, and so many eyes were watching. He couldn't show too much favoritism, or the employees would have complaints.
Of course, Ji Pengfei most wanted Ji Zhinan to have the self-awareness to say that he didn't want to go to the company anymore; that would be the best outcome.
For this purpose, he deliberately left things unsaid, having already made everything clear, and now he was just waiting for Ji Zhinan to respond...
Ji Zhinan knew exactly what was going on, but he pretended to be stupid on the surface.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely work hard."
Seeing that Ji Zhinan was completely oblivious to the situation, Ji Pengfei felt a little resentful.
He waved his hand, trying to shoo Ji Zhinan away, his tone impatient: "Say it again, you can leave now."
Ji Zhinan smiled innocently: "Okay."
Just as Ji Zhinan left the study, he ran into Old Master Ji at the top of the stairs.
The old man hadn't seen his granddaughter for a while, and now that he saw her, he was overjoyed.
"Nan Nan, my dear grandson."
Judging from the old man's attire, he must have just returned from his morning exercise.
Upon seeing Grandpa Ji, Ji Zhinan finally showed a genuine smile: "Grandpa."
Holding Ji Zhinan's hand tightly, Grandpa Ji asked with concern, "Didn't you say you'd come back to see Grandpa in a while? Why are you here today?"
Ji Zhinan replied with a smile, "My dad said he's already arranged a job for me, and he just wanted me to come back to let him know."
Ji Pengfei, who had just come out of the study, froze upon hearing Ji Zhinan's words.
He stared at Ji Zhinan's back, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
When did I ever say I'd arranged a job for this brat?!
Grandpa Ji spotted Ji Pengfei at the door of the study. Hearing his granddaughter's words, he snorted, "You're quite efficient!"
When he looked at Ji Zhinan, the old man's eyes regained their loving and doting tone: "You have to go to work now, you're all grown up now, you can't be as childish as before, you know?"
"I understand, Grandpa," Ji Zhinan nodded.
The old man beamed with joy: "My granddaughter is so sensible!"
After laughing, he stared at Ji Pengfei behind Ji Zhinan, coughed, and resumed his fatherly seriousness: "Although Nannan is an adult, she will always be a child in our eyes. Make sure she doesn't suffer in the job we arrange for her, understand?"
Ji Pengfei forced a smile and replied, "I understand, Dad."
………
With the old man's urging, Ji Pengfei's efficiency indeed increased significantly. Ji Zhinan received a text message from him that afternoon, instructing him to report to the company on time the next day.
After reading the text message with a blank expression, Ji Zhinan put away his phone.
Xing Fei, who was standing next to Ji Zhinan, also saw the message. She stared at Ji Zhinan expectantly and asked, "Nannan, are you going to work for Ji's?"
Ji Zhinan nodded: "Mm."
“Then our company…” Xing Fei said anxiously.
