The next morning, due to her biological clock, Ji Fuying woke up early as usual.
She walked listlessly to the back garden, picked up some fish food, and began feeding the koi in the artificial lake.
His hands kept moving, but his mind stopped working; he was stuck on the decision of whether or not to go abroad.
"My goodness, what are you doing?"
The old lady's voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of urgency.
Ji Fuying belatedly stood up, only to find that the box she was holding was now empty.
Looking at the koi in the lake, each one was plump and round, and some had even turned their white bellies up.
"Grandma, I'm sorry, I was distracted and accidentally fed it all."
The old lady felt a pang of heartache at her self-reproachful look and quickly comforted her, "It's alright. How can this fish compare to my dear granddaughter? Besides, it's not dead. It just ate too much. It'll be fine after a while."
"Grandma really loves Yingying. When the opportunity comes, Yingying will get you some rare delicacies."
The old lady smiled and gently patted her head, "Okay, Grandma is waiting."
Even if she doesn't find it, it doesn't matter. She's already very happy and satisfied with the thought behind it.
The grandmother and granddaughter chatted idly until Aunt Lin came to call them for lunch.
Several dishes that Ji Fuying liked to eat were added to the table, and it was obvious that they were made by Aunt Lin.
She picked up her chopsticks with a hearty appetite, turned to Aunt Lin and thanked her, "Thank you so much, Aunt Lin, for thinking of me. I'm really flattered."
Aunt Lin grinned and said, "Our young lady is beautiful and has a sweet tongue, no wonder everyone likes you."
After lunch, her grandfather called her to his study.
"Grandpa, is there something you need?"
The old man sighed and said, "Yingying, Grandpa knows your abilities. Managing the company is a piece of cake for you. Manager Tang is going to build Floating Firefly Island, so Grandpa wants you to take over as general manager."
Ji Fuying paused for a moment, then quickly understood her grandfather's intention. "Grandpa doesn't want Ji Yuan to take over this position, so he wants me to take it?"
The old man nodded with delight and praised, "You are indeed smart. You have a quick mind and are a graduate of a finance university. No one is more suitable for this position than you."
Looking into her grandfather's expectant eyes, she didn't know how to refuse, even though she really didn't want to.
Taking over as general manager means that her identity as the daughter of the Ji family will soon be exposed.
"Grandpa, I..." She hesitated for a long time, unable to express her unwillingness.
“Yingying, you are already twenty-two years old. In our Ji family, we only value ability, not gender. The capable should do more work. Your older brother has worked very hard.”
And it seems your parents are currently looking for suitable families for you. If you're willing to take on the role, Grandpa can help you avoid them.
She barely heard the first part of what he said, but when he said the second part, she jumped up from her chair. "Me...on a blind date?"
How could a scene straight out of a TV show happen to her?
And then there's this cunning old man, who only gave her two choices: either take over as general manager or go on blind dates with her parents. Did she even have a choice?
"Grandpa, as expected, experience is the best teacher. We'll follow your advice."
Sigh, after taking two days off, I returned to the company and became the high and mighty general manager.
She'd probably be drowned in spit by everyone in the company, since no one has ever seen her get promoted like this.
There's also Ji Yuan, who inexplicably ended up in the position he'd always dreamed of, and he couldn't help but hate her to the core.
Let's take it one step at a time, or it's not too late for her to step down when a suitable candidate is found.
After dinner, she drove back to the Ji's Hotel and took out four black bank cards from her bag.
This was pocket money given to her by her grandparents and parents. She didn't actually need the money, but she accepted it to put their minds at ease.
She put the bank card back and put it away, took a shower, and then lay down on the bed. Tomorrow was important, and she needed to go to bed early.
After a good night's sleep, she walked heavily into the Ji Group building early the next morning.
The tough times began, and she could no longer drift through life like before.
In the end, she only hurt herself. If Floating Firefly Island hadn't been won by Ji Yan, Manager Tang wouldn't have been transferred, and she wouldn't have had to force herself to go.
When she arrived at her workstation in the design department, she slowed down to pack her things, waiting for Li Xiaole and Li Muning, as she always wanted to say goodbye to them before leaving.
Instead of waiting for the two of them, they were met with mockery from Ji Yingying and Jiang Xuan.
"You've been fired again, haven't you? Didn't I tell you that if Yingying gets fired, you'll call her 'Grandma'? Go ahead and call her that."
Jiang Xuan stood in front of Ji Fuying, her attitude extremely arrogant.
"Jiang Xuan, let me give you a piece of advice: don't let your cleverness backfire."
Ji Yingying, unusually, understood the meaning behind those words. She reached out and knocked the box off Ji Fuying's table, causing the contents to scatter all over the floor.
"Ji Yingying, what are you doing again?"
As soon as Li Xiaole and Li Muning arrived at the office, they saw Ji Yingying maliciously knocking away Ji Fuying's things, and they were immediately furious.
"Oh, here come the helpers. She's already been fired, and you're still sticking up for her. Be careful you don't end up like her."
Ji Yingying chuckled and said to them.
