"En." Jin Liwei nodded, confirming his identity. "You are Jasper Leung and you’re applying for the position of Communications Coordinator in my daughter’s company?"
The eyes of the starstruck Jasper Leung almost bulged out of their sockets. "D-daughter?! Miss Kitty Jin is your daughter?!! H-huh, what?!!!" Then he froze, inhaling sharply upon realizing something. "Kitty Jin...Jin Liwei...both of you are Jins...ah!!!"
"En, she’s my daughter."
"Yep yep! The cute and mighty Kitty Jin is my daddy’s precious kitty baby daughter! Hihihi. Right, Daddy? Meow~"
"You’re right." Jin Liwei showed a doting expression.
Jasper was still in a state of shock. There was never any confirmed news about CEO Jin Liwei fathering a child before. By the sound of Kitty Jin’s voice, she must already be a big child. CEO Jin Liwei only married very recently. Did he father a secret, illegitimate child and made his young wife a step-mother?
As if knowing what he was thinking, Jin Liwei told him in a serious tone, "Kitty is my daughter with my wife."
Jasper was already nodding his head before his idol’s words registered in his brain. But when he realized what Jin Liwei said, he paled.
If it was really true that Kitty Jin—who was already a big child based on her voice—was both Jin Liwei and his wife’s child, then did that mean that the CEO impregnated his wife when she was still underage? Jasper knew that CEO Jin’s wife was only in her early twenties. If this was the case, then wouldn’t that make his idol businessman a beast?!
Oh no!
His increasingly wild thoughts were interrupted when Jin Liwei spoke again. "My daughter Kitty Jin’s identity is...special. My wife and I want to protect her, that’s why we don’t announce her existence to the public. It’s enough that we support her in running her own company. You’re the first one who aren’t close to my family that knows about my daughter, Kitty Jin. I trust that you’ll keep it a secret. You will, won’t you?"
Jasper gulped and nodded. "Y-yes, of course! You can trust in my moral integrity, CEO Jin! I’m not the type of person to blab about another’s secret without the owner’s consent. I work in the Public Relations field—er, I want to work in the PR field and I have the educational qualifications for it, so I know the importance of knowing when to be tactful and when it’s okay to reveal the truth."
Jin Liwei nodded, satisfied. "Good."
"If you like, I can sign an NDA to give you some peace of mind. I don’t mind it at all."
"Hmmm. We’ll talk about that later. First things first, let’s start the job interview."
"Ah, yes! Of course, sir!" Jasper sat straighter and resolved himself to do his very best, even better than how he performed when he applied at the Singaporean branch of Jin Corporation. He didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of his idol.
The interview finally started. Being interviewed by the actual Jin Liwei himself, President-CEO of China’s biggest multinational company and one of the most influential billionaire business figures in the world, felt so surreal. Jasper almost couldn’t believe that this was really happening to him.
