He wouldn't dare offend Ji Fuying before he was certain that Ji Yingying was indeed the daughter of the Ji family.
Putting everything else aside, just take those two employees she questioned yesterday—leaking company secrets—she managed to handle such a big issue.
He could even get those two people back to work, and he couldn't afford to offend them for that.
He smiled and asked, "I think you've misunderstood. I'm not familiar with her. If you have connections, you should ask someone else. I'm just a small department manager; I don't have much authority."
This statement contained a subtle test. If she were truly the daughter of the Ji family, firing an employee would be as simple as making a phone call. Why would she need to threaten him here?
But if she weren't the daughter of the Ji family, why would she offend someone she shouldn't have for her sake? Not everyone is as foolish as her, unable to distinguish between good and bad.
"You, are you really going to go against me?"
Ji Yingying was so angry that her face turned pale. There was actually someone in this department who dared to disobey her.
Although she was not the daughter of the main branch of the Ji family, she was from another branch and could still be called a daughter of the Ji family.
Manager Zhu saw her expression and immediately understood that she was indeed trying to pass herself off as a fraud. His tone of voice was no longer as polite as before.
"Leave if you have nothing else to do, you're keeping me from eating."
Ji Yingying realized that he wouldn't fire Ji Fuying, so she picked up her bag and said angrily, "Very well, you will pay the price for your actions."
canteen.
The three of them sat in their usual spot to eat when suddenly some people nearby started gossiping.
"Have you heard? The company is going to hold a celebration banquet."
"Yes, it's being held to celebrate the Ji Group's acquisition of Floating Firefly Island."
"I heard that the guests that day were all top figures in Kyoto. I really want to see them."
"Forget about it, we're not going to get an invitation."
Looking at the two whose eyes were gradually lighting up, Ji Fuying smiled helplessly and asked, "Do you want to go?"
"Can we just go whenever we want?" they both asked in unison.
Ji Fuying shoveled a big mouthful of rice into her mouth and muttered, "If you want to go, then go. Why can't you?"
Although she really, really dislikes attending these kinds of banquets, she can overcome it for the sake of the two of them.
In that case, we need to get some invitations first. Who should we ask? Han Xiao?
No, no, he still needs to report to Ji Yan. It's better to go to Second Brother.
Impatient as she was, she immediately dialed Jize's number, "Hello, Second Brother."
"Yingying, how have you been these past few days? Is your leg fully healed? You need to come back in a few days for another check-up."
"Okay, Second Brother, could you help me get three invitations to the Ji family's victory celebration banquet?"
"Your own hotel needs an invitation?"
"Please, Second Brother, I really hate trouble."
Hearing her soft, coquettish voice on the other end of the phone, Ji Ze's heart melted. "Okay, I'll call you when I get it."
"Wow, thank you so much, my dear second brother."
Ji Fuying hung up the phone and then noticed that the two people on the other end of the line had started looking worried and distressed.
She deliberately picked up her phone and teased, "What kind of expressions are those? Don't you want to go? I'll call and say I don't need the invitation anymore."
The two men immediately grabbed her hands, one on each side, afraid she would call home.
She chuckled. "I was just kidding, but what are you doing?"
The two exchanged a glance. "We're so envious and jealous."
She's beautiful, comes from a wealthy family, and has two loving brothers. She's already a winner in life without having to do anything.
What did these two ordinary girls do to deserve being her good friends? If it were before, they would never have believed that they could meet the daughter of the Ji family.
"Don't be envious. Everyone has their own life. While you're envying others, someone else is envying you. Okay, tomorrow's a day off, I'll take you to pick out dresses."
Li Muning grabbed her hand to stop her, saying, "You taking us is enough; we'll prepare our own dresses."
“Yes, Yingying, we can’t trouble you with everything. We can prepare everything ourselves.” Li Xiaole also disagreed with Ji Fuying arranging everything for them.
Ji Fuying feigned anger, "Are you looking down on me? Don't forget who I am. Do I need money to buy a dress?"
The largest formal wear customization center in Kyoto is also owned by the Ji family, so getting a few formal wears is really a piece of cake for Ji Fuying.
The next day, Saturday.
"Hello."
Ji Fuying, still half-asleep, mumbled a reply while clutching her phone.
"Yingying, it's 9:30 already, are you still sleeping?" Li Xiaole's excited voice came from the other end of the line.
She didn't sleep a wink all night. She'd never worn a formal dress in her twenty-plus years of life, so how could she not be excited?
"Okay, I'll get up right away. You and Mu Ning wait for me downstairs at the Ji's Hotel. I'll be down shortly."
Fifteen minutes later, Ji Fuying finally emerged from the hotel amidst the expectant gazes of the two men.
