Indeed, Ji Zhinan did not deliberately conceal the fact that she was Ji Pengfei's daughter. It was just that Xing Minggao and the shareholders did not know about it.
Ji Pengfei had never brought Ji Zhinan to any event before, and the only time he appeared in public was in a photo taken some time ago.
However, Qianchanghua was on the verge of bankruptcy at the time. Xing Minggao and others were extremely anxious and racked their brains to think of how to save the company from the dire straits. They had no time to pay attention to those useless rumors.
Xing Minggao was silent for a moment, then asked, "If you were in the Ji family, you would have better opportunities for development, instead of coming here and starting all over again..."
Ji Zhinan raised the corner of his lips, twirled the pen he had just used to sign, and spoke casually.
"Uncle Xing should have heard something."
“…”
"There can't be two tigers on one mountain."
"I know myself well. Rather than end up with nothing, I'd rather work hard for myself while I'm still young. Things given by others are never as secure as what you earn through your own abilities. This is a hard truth."
She lowered her eyes and spoke in a light tone, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Xing Minggao was so smart that he understood it immediately.
Ji Pengfei has only brought Ji Zhixia to events over the years, and few people know that Ji Zhixia has a younger sister.
It seems that Ji Zhinan is not favored in the Ji family.
Xing Minggao added: "But he is your father."
"So what?" Ji Zhinan looked up at him and asked back.
"Even father and son have to settle accounts openly, so what are he and I?"
"I only know that I am a businessman, and businessmen never talk about feelings when it comes to work."
She suddenly smiled, partly sarcastic, partly cold, and partly indifferent.
Anyone can see that Ji Zhinan doesn't care about Ji Pengfei, and the two of them don't get along like father and daughter.
Xing Minggao understood instantly and stood up: "I have always believed that in your hands, ZN will be able to show its highest value."
This statement was a complete acknowledgement of Ji Zhinan.
Even if she is Ji Pengfei's daughter, so what? As long as Ji Zhinan is in ZN for one day, she can help them suppress the Ji family.
Xing Minggao has always appreciated talents and does not care about status.
In their business world, friendships built through shared struggles are often stronger than so-called family ties.
Ji Zhinan was not angry because of Xing Minggao's guess. Instead, she was very happy because Xing Minggao did not beat around the bush but spoke directly.
If Xing Minggao was hiding things and playing tricks on her, then she would really have to consider giving up ZN.
"Uncle Xing, I'm your junior. Although I'm now a member of the company, I still have to trouble you to take care of all the company's affairs, big or small. In private, there's no need to call me Director Ji, it sounds strange. Just call me Zhinan."
Hearing this, Xing Minggao felt a lot warmer in his heart.
There is a difference between calling him "Zhi Nan" or "Mr. Ji". The latter will never be as comfortable as the former. There is always an inexplicable gap.
Xing Minggao was not a pretentious person. He liked Ji Zhinan's intelligence and treated her like his own daughter: "Zhinan."
Ji Zhinan smiled back at him.
"Oh, right, Zhinan." Xing Minggao thought of something and continued, "There has been a dispute over the mining rights for that piece of land. I followed your instructions and only considered the candidates on the list. But someone contacted me recently and it's clear they want the mining rights. They're not on the list, but judging by the situation, they're definitely someone important..."
