210: Chapter 210 Kim Mi-jung's Decision
Evening.
The Jin family's old residence.
The old banyan tree in the courtyard had been growing for decades; the evening breeze swept the rustling of leaves into the living room, mingling with the scent of gardenias and permeating the entire space.
Only a warm yellow floor lamp was on in the living room, casting a soft light.
Jin Meiting sat on the sofa, her back straight. She wore a long cotton and linen house dress, having shed the sharpness of her professional life for a touch of gentleness, though she still could not hide the resilience in her bones.
Opposite her sat Old Master Jin.
Old Master Jin held a purple clay teacup, took a slow sip, and looked up at her with a smile on his face.
"How was it? After meeting that lad Jiang Feng today, what are your impressions?"
"Grandfather, you were right." Jin Meiting looked up, meeting his gaze, her tone carrying a hint of admiration she hadn't even realized herself. "He is truly not simple."
"It was me who underestimated him before."
Old Master Jin laughed heartily and placed the teacup on the solid wood coffee table, the bottom of the cup clinking softly against the surface.
"I knew it. Once you met him, you would definitely say that."
"That lad's keen eye and grand vision are unique among all the young people I've met in my life."
"You won't regret following him."
This was the power of the system; the Secretary Card was truly useful. Even if Ye Bai had never met him, the system would rationalize this matter.
Jin Meiting nodded and took a deep breath, the lingering hesitation in her chest completely dissipating.
"Grandfather, I've decided."
"I will agree to join Ice Snow Honey City."
"I want to personally help him build this business empire."
Hearing this, Old Master Jin laughed even more heartily and said "good" three times.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"As expected of my Jin family's granddaughter! You have guts!"
"Go ahead and do it with confidence! Grandfather will back you up!"
Jin Meiting smiled, took out her phone, unlocked the screen, and found the phone number she had saved earlier that day.
She opened the text message editor, her thumb hovering on the screen for a moment before she deleted the overly formal wording she had originally written and typed a line.
"Mr. Jiang, I have considered it. I am willing to join Ice Snow Honey City. We can meet tomorrow morning to discuss the specific details of the cooperation. — Jin Meiting"
She pressed the send button.
A "Sent Successfully" prompt popped up on the screen.
Jin Meiting put down her phone and turned to look at the night scene outside the window.
The night view of Yangcheng was dazzling; the neon lights spread along the Pearl River like a glowing galaxy.
Her eyes reflected the lights outside the window, shining brilliantly, filled with anticipation for the future.
Her phone vibrated on the table.
Jin Meiting immediately snapped back to reality and reached for her phone.
It was a reply from Jiang Feng.
It was just a short line of text.
"Good. See you at the old place at ten tomorrow morning."
There was no unnecessary pleasantry, no excessive enthusiasm, yet it carried a sense of certainty that put people at ease.
Jin Meiting looked at the text, the curve of her lips deepening slightly.
"What? Did he agree?" Old Master Jin picked up his teacup, took a slow sip, his eyes full of knowing amusement.
"Yes." Jin Meiting put down her phone and nodded, her tone carrying a hint of lightness she didn't even realize. "He said to meet at the old place at ten tomorrow morning."
"Look at you." Old Master Jin shook his head with a smile. "A moment ago you said you needed to consider it, and now, only a few hours later, you can't hold back anymore?"
Jin Meiting's face flushed, and she rarely showed a display of girlish charm as she chided him.
"Grandfather."
