Chapter 1105 - Idol Businessman
"En." Jin Liwei nodded, confirming his ident.i.ty. "You are Jasper Leung and you"re applying for the position of Communications Coordinator in my daughter"s company?"
The eyes of the starstruck Jasper Leung almost bulged out of their sockets. "D-daughter?! Miss Kitty Jin is your daughter?!! H-huh, what?!!!" Then he froze, inhaling sharply upon realizing something. "Kitty Jin…Jin Liwei…both of you are Jins…ah!!!"
"En, she"s my daughter."
"Yep yep! The cute and mighty Kitty Jin is my daddy"s precious kitty baby daughter! Hihihi. Right, Daddy? Meow~"
"You"re right." Jin Liwei showed a doting expression.
Jasper was still in a state of shock. There was never any confirmed news about CEO Jin Liwei fathering a child before. By the sound of Kitty Jin"s voice, she must already be a big child. CEO Jin Liwei only married very recently. Did he father a secret, illegitimate child and made his young wife a step-mother?
As if knowing what he was thinking, Jin Liwei told him in a serious tone, "Kitty is my daughter with my wife."
Jasper was already nodding his head before his idol"s words registered in his brain. But when he realized what Jin Liwei said, he paled.
If it was really true that Kitty Jin—who was already a big child based on her voice—was both Jin Liwei and his wife"s child, then did that mean that the CEO impregnated his wife when she was still underage? Jasper knew that CEO Jin"s wife was only in her early twenties. If this was the case, then wouldn"t that make his idol businessman a beast?!
Oh no!
His increasingly wild thoughts were interrupted when Jin Liwei spoke again. "My daughter Kitty Jin"s ident.i.ty is…special. My wife and I want to protect her, that"s why we don"t announce her existence to the public. It"s enough that we support her in running her own company. You"re the first one who aren"t close to my family that knows about my daughter, Kitty Jin. I trust that you"ll keep it a secret. You will, won"t you?"
Jasper gulped and nodded. "Y-yes, of course! You can trust in my moral integrity, CEO Jin! I"m not the type of person to blab about another"s secret without the owner"s consent. I work in the Public Relations field—er, I want to work in the PR field and I have the educational qualifications for it, so I know the importance of knowing when to be tactful and when it"s okay to reveal the truth."
Jin Liwei nodded, satisfied. "Good."
"If you like, I can sign an NDA to give you some peace of mind. I don"t mind it at all."
"Hmmm. We"ll talk about that later. First things first, let"s start the job interview."
"Ah, yes! Of course, sir!" Jasper sat straighter and resolved himself to do his very best, even better than how he performed when he applied at the Singaporean branch of Jin Corporation. He didn"t want to embarra.s.s himself in front of his idol.
The interview finally started. Being interviewed by the actual Jin Liwei himself, President-CEO of China"s biggest multinational company and one of the most influential billionaire business figures in the world, felt so surreal. Jasper almost couldn"t believe that this was really happening to him.
This was what he had been dreaming of ever since he had decided to pursue a career in business, specifically in the Public Relations field—to meet and speak with CEO Jin Liwei, and of course, to work in his company. His hopes and big dreams of ever working at Jin Corporation again had been cruelly dashed when Romeo Young fired and blacklisted him. Now, however, Jasper believed that the incident was a blessing in disguise.
Romeo Young was only a branch boss, anyway. He was nothing but a fake king compared to the true reigning king of Jin Corporation, Jin Liwei.
Jin Liwei asked many difficult questions. Jasper answered all of them to the best of his ability. He wasn"t sure if his idol was satisfied with his answers. He was unable to gauge any of the CEO"s true thoughts from the man"s poker face alone.
Kitty Jin would also interject her own questions and opinions here and there, but most of the time, it was her father who interviewed Jasper.
"What do you think?" Jin Liwei asked his daughter.
Jasper tensed. He rubbed his sweaty palms on his trousers out of the web camera"s view.
"Kitty likes Jasper, Daddy! He"s a bit boring but that"s okay! The cute and mighty me is a good boss to all my employees and will treat them well as long as they do their jobs right. Meow~"
Jasper felt a little relieved that Miss Kitty Jin liked him, though he inwardly winced at being called boring. He knew that he wasn"t the most interesting person in the planet but wasn"t it too harsh to call him boring to his face?
Well, it didn"t matter. As long as CEO Jin"s daughter liked him, he now had a better chance of getting the job. However, it seemed that the final decision still rested on CEO Jin Liwei himself. Jasper once again felt nervous, even terrified.
This wasn"t a job at Jin Corporation, but oddly enough, he felt more anxious. Jin Liwei"s opinion felt more important and meaningful than the one who interviewed him when he first applied at Jin Corporation"s Singaporean branch.
"I want this. I want this so badly! Please let me get this job."
"How about Daddy? Does Daddy like Jasper, too? Meow~"
Jasper felt like he was going to faint from the nerves. However, he forced himself to hold on, refusing to embarra.s.s himself in front of his idol by pa.s.sing out like an overexcited fanboy.
Whatever the outcome of this interview, he would accept it. He trusted in CEO Jin Liwei"s judgment. If he didn"t get hired, then that meant that he was not qualified for the position. Not yet. He would just work harder and smarter to improve his qualifications and try again next time.
Jasper no longer thought that this White Tigress company was a scam. To him, this was the next best thing after Jin Corporation for his dream career.
Then Jin Liwei said, "My decision is…."
Jasper leaned forward, afraid to miss a single word.
"Hurry up and say it, Daddy! The cute and mighty Kitty Jin can"t wait any longer. Meow!"
