Chapter 1173: Powerful and Prideful Pei Ge
“I heard that Minghao Group hired you from New York’s Wall Street to be their CFO; is that right?”
Pei Ge’s gaze shifted onto the older man when she heard him speak in a cold and steady voice.
“That’s right.”
Compared to his wife, Mister Ji was much stricter.
Hence, she tended to be more cautious when it ca to conversing to him.
After all, she had had dealings with this Ji patriarch in the past.
Back then, in order to pass his test and obtain his trust, she invested considerable effort and ti.
A pity how she ended up with them.
Truthfully speaking, the two elders were very good to her.
When she had disappeared so suddenly back then, these two had probably felt disappointnt with her.
“I wonder if Miss Regina is interested in coming to our Ji Group?”
Spit!
She almost choked on the water in her mouth from this offer of the older man.
“Minghao is just a small company and doesn’t have many prospects; asuring your capabilities, it’s truly a waste. It will be a different case if you work for our Ji Group; plus, we’ll definitely not treat you shabbily and provide you with the best benefits.”
His slightly aged face was trained on her. Even though he remained expressionless, it could be seen that he was sincere in his words.
“Ugh...”
Her brows moved slightly as her expression turned queer.
Inside, she was shocked by this generous offer.
It was not just her who was stunned, though. Even the older man’s wife and the future daughter-in-law were stunned by his unexpected act of poaching a talent.
In fact, even the current Ji Group’s top dog was surprised.
“Why? Are you thinking that our company is too small for you?”
Her silence prompted the older man to raise an eyebrow as a cold glint flashed past his eyes.
“Of course not. As you’ve said, Minghao is a small company. Since I’m even willing to work there, how do you think I can look down on your company? Ha ha... It’s not like I’m crazy.”
She smiled and picked up the tissue by her side and wiped her lips.
“Oh? Does that an you’re willing to co over to our company?”
He regarded her calmly. Despite that, his dark eyes shone with a look of appreciation.
“Let thank Mr. Ji first for offering such a generous deal, but I must apologize to you... Please forgive for being unable to accept your offer.”
She looked him squarely in the face.
“May I ask why you are rejecting my offer?”
“It’s as Mr. Ji has said; for a person like , staying at Minghao is a waste of my talent and that it’s akin to putting fine timbre to petty use, so why then does a talent like do such a loss-making deal?”
She pridefully raised her chin and did not bother acting humble.
Her words stunned the other two ladies. Their eyes widened in shock, probably due to having not seen anyone praised themselves like this.
In contrast, the two n in the room nodded in admiration.
These usually stoic n were currently smiling over her immodest and prideful reply.
“Let clarify this; I ca here from Wall Street not because I’m coveting Minghao’s ager salary; rather, it’s because that company has sothing I want. After all, money alone can’t buy a talent like . If it’s just that, I’m not short of it.”
The atmosphere in the dining room turned cold the mont she said this. Everyone could feel sothing inexplicable yet brimming with might and confidence.
Indeed, this feeling was coming from her!
The petty sches Qu Jingwan was thinking vanished at once at this.
She did not know how to fight such a powerful woman.
Always full of confidence, for the first ti, she felt small and... in this woman’s presence.
This person was completely unlike Qiao Jingyun, so how could she even think of scheming against her?
“Great! Such a rare talent; I’m really fond of people like you who are confident in their ability!”
This old man, who was a miser in giving out his complints, suddenly chortled boisterously in approval.
The gaze he looked at Pei Ge was now full of admiration and fondness.
Everyone could see how satisfied he was with her.
“Mr. Ji, you are overpraising . I’ve been too arrogant. My bit of talent is nothing in front of you.” She lightly chuckled.
“Miss Regina, you are too humble; ever since you ca to Beijing, many eyes have been on you. In this short period, your difficult feats of clinching those two projects for Minghao earned you everyone’s admiration! Looks like that company will soon have a stable footing in this city’s real-estate sector!”
He shook his head while smiling at her with sparkling eyes.
In this lifeti, other than his wife, the only thing that could arouse his interest was talented people with great potential!
To him, this woman was the crè de la crè among the talented, so his attitude toward her was sincerely genial.
“I shan’t bother denying it as your words are exactly what it is.”
She was not the least bit humble regarding her capabilities. Over the years, she had one lesson ingrained in her.
That was, a person capable of backing her confidence would only ever receive others’ respect! This was how she presented herself to others!
“Aiya, Old Ji, we’re in the midst of having breakfast! Let our guest finish it in peace before talking about business!”
Seeing that the two were about to continue their pleasant conversation, Madam Ji quickly interrupted.
The two stopped talking at this and placed their attention back onto the table full of food.
“Mommy, you’re so cool!”
