The expression on the old master's face wavered for a moment. Although in his mind he had begun to agree with what Jennie said, he was still somewhat reluctant to admit it in words.

"Hmph. I would like to see who dares to laugh at me. Only those who no longer want to make a living in Shalnork would dare do that!"

"..." 'What is with this contemptuous, uncultured nouveau riche's tone of voice?'

"Yes, yes, yes. I know, I know. No one dares to laugh at you. I was just giving an example, okay? All right, once you reunite with him, you will get to meet her, won't you?"

Jennie's earnest persuasion finally got the old master to nod in a reluctant manner.

Jennie lightly heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that this matter had come to an end, but she did not know that she had actually underestimated the stubbornness of the old man.

When the old master was listening to Jennie's persuasion, what he was really thinking inside his head was actually, why did he need to wait again? He had waited for so many years, how could he still wait?

There was nothing he could do when his precious grandson he had finally found ran away, so he could only wait. However, his future granddaughter-in-law was still here, so why should he wait? Besides, as an elder, helping his grandson to examine his future wife was mandatory!

The reason this girl was so worried that he would run to see her was only because she was afraid that his sudden appearance would scare the girl. In that case, he would disguise himself well so that he could keep a low profile. It would be fine as long as he did not scare her!

Jennie had no idea of the twists and turns in her grandfather's mind. After confirming Minho's real identity, Jennie quickly rushed back to the office.

On the one hand, she did not want Woobin and the other to get suspicious, on the other hand, it was because she recently really had too much on her plate.

The resort plan that Woobin cared most about at the beginning, which was also the first big contract she negotiated after entering Kim Group, had officially launched ten months ago after investments were channeled into the project.

Today, most of the construction work had basically been completed. The project was entering the completion stage, which meant that what came after was the publicity work.

Ever since the project was officially launched, Kim Group had already begun to promote the project, but at that time, it was only a simple plan, and most of the other details of the project were kept confidential temporarily because they still had room to change them.

Thus, it created a gimmick for this long-term plan and kept the suspense just right.

And now, it was a good time to detonate the fuse buried at the beginning and reveal this suspense. Grasping the opportunity to take advantage of the publicity to let more people familiar with this resort of Kim Group and thus bringing Kim Group greater revenue had become the current priority. It was an important step in Kim Group's recent development direction.

It was as Jennie expected, immediately after joining the company, Minchul was eager to show his capability and leadership skill in order to strengthen his prestige and popularity within Kim Group, so he rightly focused his target on the publicity plan for the resort.

Just before everyone almost finalized Jennie's proposal, he brought up another proposal.

After Minchul's presented his proposal, the senior management of the board of directors were unexpectedly divided into two factions, each standing behind either of the two.

No one expected that Minchul, who had just joined the company for less than a month, would be able to get the support of so many people, causing the decision of this project to not be finalized and was left unresolved.

When she walked out of the meeting room, Jennie was not surprised to meet Minchul at a spot not far away from her.

Minchul's face was alight with his usual gentle and light smile, which was hypocritical and unique. "Cousin, I'm really sorry. Although that proposal of yours is also very good, there are still flaws after all. I am now an employee of Kim Group, naturally I must do everything in the interest of Kim Group itself, so..."

Jennie stopped moving for a moment. She turned her head to look at this man who might look like he was apologizing but he was actually provoking her. She chuckled lightly. "Chief Kim, you're right. We are all Kim Group's employees, so naturally, we should put Kim Enterprise's interests first in everything. It's just that maybe my proposal does have flaws, but your proposal may not be without them either. It's still too early to say all this, let's discuss the details in the regular meeting next week."

Minchul could not refute Jennie's words, but he quickly recovered and smiled faintly. "It looks like you are very confident about your proposal, Cousin. In that case, why don't we make a bet?"

"A bet? A bet on whose proposal can get the majority support this time and become the final plan?" Jennie snickered and looked askance at Minchul with an artificial smile. "Chief Kim, when you use the same trick once, it was novel, but if you use it twice, it becomes a cliche."

A change came over Minchul's expression. He knew that Jennie was insinuating that the only reason he was able to get into Kim Group in the first place was because he had opportunistically made a bet with Master Kim in the first place and won.

Minchul forced back the anger in his heart. While maintaining the smile on his face, he said gently, "Cousin, are you being so evasive because you have no confidence in your proposal? Or do you think that my—"

Before Minchul could finish, Jennie had already cut off his words with an expressionless face. "Reverse psychology doesn't work on me. Chief Kim, if you have the time to make bets and talk to people, you might as well use the time to think about how to better improve your proposal and do some real work."

Upon hearing Jennie's words, there was finally a small crack on Minchul's smiling face. Was this woman insinuating that he was not doing his job honestly and that he only knew how to exploit loopholes in deviant paths?

Jennie was not in the mood to continue the conversation with Minchul. After seeing Minchul's expression change because of her words, she was ready to walk away jubilantly. "Chief Kim, if you have nothing else to say, I will leave first. Chief Kim, as your cousin and your boss, I would kindly advise you that while small bets are entertaining, you would only hurt yourself if you raise the stake too high. It's better to know your place. There are certain things you cannot afford to gamble on."

Minchul's face instantly became pale, but Jennie already had no mood to enjoy it. After taking a few steps forward, it was as if she suddenly remembered something, because she turned her head and smiled at Minchul again. "By the way, Chief Kim, I look forward to your performance at next week's meeting. Do not let me down."

After saying these mocking words, Jennie did not look back again. She left the office without a second thought and walked out of Minchul's sight.

Minchul stood in the same place, staring at the direction Jennie left. His hands hung at his sides, and he clenched silently. His face was hidden in the shadows, and it was already distorted!

However, he quickly regained the incredibly fake and modest smile on his face. Gazing at the distant back of Jennie and the few employees around who began to whisper and talk about the small dispute they had just had, a spark of confidence crossed his eyes..
