Krystal sneered and said, "Jennie, you should just get off your high horse. It's not embarrassing to ask us for help. It's still better than you running into snags at every turn. Do you want to starve to death when you don't have a job and income?"
Krystal raised her hand and gently touched a strand of hair from the side of her ears. "Jennie, I know you have high self-esteem, but to live you have to forget about your self-esteem. It's not a shame to ask for our help. I can understand that you lied to dad that you've already found a job out of pride. I'm glad you told us the truth today, it shows that you haven't been well recently. Name the company and I'll help you."
"That's right," Old Lady Kim nodded, "Krystal is doing this for your own good. We're family and there's nothing to be ashamed of."
Jennie looked at Krystal, then she said, "It's KTJ, the company of Jisoo. Everyone knows the status of KTJ in the industry. A lot of people wish to get in, I'm already lucky enough to have an opportunity to attend the interview. I don't really expect to work there. You should know about Jisoo. Not to mention you, even if it was Uncle Kim, Jisoo would not be willing to do him a favor. That's why I didn't say anything. Of course, if you can ask Jisoo and pull some strings for me to get in, I'll be very grateful. I'm not that self-conceited, I won't be prideful when it comes to earning a living."
Krystal's facial expression changed. She slammed the table furiously, and Old Lady Kim was frightened by it.
"Jennie, you left this out in the beginning on purpose. You just wanted me to make a fool out of myself!" Krystal said angrily.
Jennie said calmly, "I've already told you that the company has a strict policy. It's impossible to get in by just pulling some strings. I didn't want to embarrass you, which was why I rejected you just now. I can't help it since you didn't believe me."
"You..." Krystal was convinced that Jennie did it intentionally. Just when she was about to fly into a rage, she received a phone call.
Although the person on the other end of the phone could not see her, Krystal immediately put away her angry face. She said politely, "President Yang, you're here already? We are waiting for you in Zao Yang Hall."
"..."
"All right."
Jennie frowned. After Krystal hung up on the phone, she asked Old Lady Kim, "Grandma, is there anyone else coming?"
Old Lady Kim smiled awkwardly. Her eyes were shifty, she did not dare to look at Jennie directly. Then, she mumbled hesitatingly, "Yes...it's your uncle's good business friend, Yang Zhiyuan, President Yang."
Jennie's heart went cold. She could vaguely guess the real intentions of Old Lady Kim. She said in a low voice, "Grandma, didn't you tell me that it's going to be just the both of us? I don't have anything to say about Krystal and Eunwoo being here. Why is a stranger joining us? If he's friends with Uncle Kim, I'm guessing his age is pretty similar to Uncle Kim as well. What can he talk about with the younger generation like us?"
"About this...," Old Lady Kim stuttered, "Jennie..."
"I'll explain it," Krystal said. "Just now when Yang Zhiyuan called, he was already in the parking lot. He'll be here in a short moment."
She needed to clarify things before Yang Zhiyuan arrived, to avoid Jennie showing her long face in front of Yang Zhiyuan and humiliating him.
They had no choice but to trick her into coming. If they told her the truth, she would never show up if it was a decent young man, let alone Yang Zhiyuan who was pretty old and divorced with kids.
