"Yes, your ability is widely recognized, President Lee. Although you are now down and out, there are certain things that cannot be denied. In your case, this pastry store of mine is just a small pond, accommodating a genius like you here...seems to be a case that could 'neither be fish nor fowl'."
"You are going to fire me?" Minho's expression slightly darkened. The ultimate purpose of his initiative to see Jennie today was almost the same, but being fired and taking the initiative to resign were obviously two very different concepts.
Jennie shook her head. "No, on the contrary. President Lee, what I really meant is that you have an incomparably intelligent mind, enviable business skills, a very rare adaptability skill, and these talents are really wasted here. If you don't mind, I would very much like to invite you to join Kim Enterprise on my own behalf.
"You want me to join Kim Enterprise to help you?" Minho looked at Jennie in disbelief. He could not figure out what Jennie's intention was in doing so. Was this a test, or was this...
Jennie nodded affirmatively as she continued to gently persuade him. "I'm sure you're aware of my current situation, I've joined Kim Enterprise for only a few months. Although I've managed to stop those rumors that maliciously attacked me by making little achievements, this is far from enough for me, who has been cultivated as an heir with high expectations by my grandfather."
"So?"
"I need you."
Minho was speechless. "..."
Although he knew that when Jennie said she needed him, it was not what he thought it meant, Minho still could not help but shudder and got goosebumps all over his body.
Jennie took in Minho's every reaction, the corner of her mouth could not help but twitch a little. She cleared her throat and continued. "In short, I need to carve a career in the company to consolidate my position within it. This means that I not only need to perform well at my job, but I also need to properly build my own team."
"So you set your eyes on me?
"That is right. I have to admit that there are some things in you that I lack as I am still inexperienced in the field, President Lee. I need someone who is good enough to stand by my side, to be my benchmark, and to become my most solid backing. And this person, it is none other than you, President Lee."
Jennie was talking nonsense in a serious manner, while inwardly she was secretly thinking about her own hidden agenda.
Her main task here today was to keep a grip on this man. And then, she would wait for the right opportunity to lure him to Kim Enterprise. As to what kind of reason she could use to lure him and how she could lure him, it was up to how she winged it.
Anyway, the old master had also said that even if the final result showed that this man was not related with Min-a and them at all, it was still undeniable that this man was a rare talent. This coincided with Jennie's initial thought.
Jennie's initial thought was to find an opportunity to bring Minho into Kim Enterprise. If it was confirmed in the future that Minho was indeed the child of Kim family, she would naturally step aside and leave this whole mess to Minho.
Even if they found out in the future that all of this was just their own wishful thinking, with Minho as the existing labor, she still could leave the whole mess to him and she would become an 'absentee landlady'. The point was Minho would have to take over the job no matter what.
That was what Jennie expected, though she had a feeling that people like Minho, who had been raised to become a leader, suddenly became someone's subordinate one day, it seemed...impossible.
It must be said that Jennie's hunch had always been true.
After hearing these words from Jennie, Minho did not show much Leo. He only looked deeply at Jennie for a while before he said in an incredibly cold manner, "Then... am I supposed to say I'm honored?"
Jennie frowned. She slapped her hands on the table and lightly jumped off the table. She came up to Minho and sighed. "I know that you're too overqualified to join Kim Enterprise just to help me, you might feel wronged. But please believe me, President Lee, I am very committed to inviting you to join us. In exchange, Kim Enterprise will do everything possible to help you get back what belonged to you back then."
"I refuse." Before Jennie could finish, Minho had already made his decision first.
Jennie felt speechless. She had expected this would happen, but being rejected so directly in the face, Jennie could not help but ask, "Why?"
Minho gave Jennie an indifferent look and uttered, "Because I don't need it."
"You don't need it."
"What belongs to me, I can get it back myself. I don't need others to interfere. Besides..." Minho paused. His face suddenly became serious. He stared deeply into Jennie's eyes and said, "Sheng Shi Group will further engage with Kim Enterprise and it will go on to become Kim Enterprise's friendly partner, but now is not the time."
Jennie was shocked. What did she just hear? Sheng Shi Group? Didn't Sheng Shi Group go bankrupt long ago? How could it still be able to engage with Kim Enterprise? Could it be that...
A shocking guess swept through Jennie's mind. She stared incredulously at the person in front of her.
Minho did not explain himself any further. He said in a deep voice the real purpose he took the initiative to find Jennie today. "I want to resign and leave for a while."
"You're leaving?" Jennie, who was still immersed in the previous shock, instantly came back to her senses and reflexively cried out when she heard Minho said he wanted to leave.
Only after she came back to her senses did she realize that she had just lost her cool. Looking into Minho's stunned gaze, she awkwardly coughed lightly and said, "I mean, is this the reason you called me over here to talk privately, President Lee? Why do you suddenly want to leave?"
"There are some things that I need to take care of."
Looking at Minho's emotionless look, Jennie secretly gritted her teeth and asked in a muffled voice, "No offense, may I know where exactly are you going and what are you going to do after leaving this place?"
Minho cast a glance at her and replied without giving it a second thought, "Since you know it could be an offense, you shouldn't ask this question."
Jennie was speechless. "..." How could this man be even more difficult to deal with than Lisa?
Jennie took a deep breath and tried her best to maintain her composure. She asked tentatively, "When do you plan to leave?"
"Tomorrow."
"So soon?" Jennie was surprised. After seeing the suspicious look Minho projected over again, she hastily changed her tone. "Have you told the others in the store about this, especially Woo-hee and Suzy?"
Hearing someone's name, Minho's expressionless face finally showed some emotion. He pursed his lips and looked at Jennie. "Miss Kim, please bring a message to Suzy for me."
"Oh? What is the message?"
"Wait for me. Just tell her to wait for me.."
