Jennie Kim was the official interpreter of the international business conference?! What in the world?!!!
The foreign delegates didn't think much about it. They didn't know who Jennie was. They just accepted that this beautiful woman in a red business suit was an interpreter who the conference officials had chosen. Why should they doubt their choice? Besides, this Jennie spoke fluent English in an elegant British accent.
On the other hand, the local delegates were incredulous that the international business conference would hire a mere musician as an official interpreter.
The ones sitting near Jihoon all turned their heads to silently ask him what was going on. Unfortunately for them, he couldn't give them any answer because he also had no idea that his youngest daughter was hired to do this. He was as shocked as them all.
However, it only took a few moments before both Jihoon and Hwi recovered from their initial shock. They already knew that Jennie was a Cross Academy student and that she was majoring in Foreign Languages.
Remembering these, they calmed down and treated the situation as something to be expected. After all, she wasn't only a Cross Academy student but also the personal student of the legendary business genius Sir Jian.
"Hmm... Ruby looks calm and prepared. Very good," Jihoon murmured while nodding his head. The unmistakable pride was very obvious in his eyes.
"She should've at least informed us beforehand, so we wouldn't feel so surprised like this," Hwi also murmured.
Jay heard their low conversation. He couldn't hide his disbelief. Why were these two so calm? Weren't they worried that Jennie would embarrass herself in such an important event like this? If she embarrassed herself, she would also embarrass Kim Industries because of her connection to them.
"Father—I mean President, should we really allow Little Sister Ruby to do this? I don't know how she was able to get this job, maybe she asked Sir Jian, but this isn't something that she can handle so easily. This is the international business conference! The whole business world is basically watching. Her every mistake would be noted. As her older brother, I'm very concerned for her. I don't want her to humiliate herself."
'She can humiliate herself for all I care, but I don't want people associating her to me,' he added in his mind.
Hwi only gave him a side-eye.
"Don't worry too much. I think that your sister knows what she's doing," Jihoon told him. "Let's just sit back and watch her performance. Similar to how I wanted the two of you to gain experience from this international business conference, this will also be a great experience to your little sister."
Jay frowned before he could smooth it away. His disbelief turned into bitterness.
'That brat is really Father's favourite,' he silently muttered to himself.
He watched Jennie on the stage. The MC was now speaking in Mandarin only, while Jennie was consecutively interpreting his words in English.
'Hmph. So what if she improved her English skills and learned how to speak in a British accent? I bet she's not even interpreting right now but just saying the words she memorized from a script. Let's see if she can do this for unscripted conversations later on. I can't wait until she humiliates herself.'
Jay was filled with mockery towards her.
Beside him, Kim Industries' COO leaned a bit towards Jihoon, saying, "President Kim, your youngest daughter managed to astound me once again. First was when she did her presentation for her business asking for a shipping deal from us. And now this? Language interpreter for the international business conference? I'm finding Miss Long Ruby more and more impressive the more times I encounter her. You must be very proud of your daughter, President."
