“I can handle it alone. Don’t worry.” Ji Shiting saw the teapot on the desk and poured his Grandpa a cup of tea.
“If only your father were still alive.” Grandpa Ji suddenly sighed. “If he were still you, your burden wouldn’t be so heavy. Perhaps your father could have given you a few siblings.”
Ji Shiting’s eyes dimmed at the mention of his father.
“In the blink of an eye, your father has been gone for twenty years,” said Grandpa Ji. He suddenly smiled and shook his head. “Your father was far from your current accomplishments at his age. You’re very responsible and self-disciplined, but your father is the complete opposite. He hates being restrained and is romantic. Although he’s smart, he wasn’t interested in the company at all. However, he was my only son and I couldn’t let him do what he likes. I sometimes wonder if I forced him to die.”
Ji Shiting looked at him and said, “What’s wrong, Grandpa?”
His father, Ji Ziliang, had passed away many years ago, and his Grandpa rarely mentioned him, as if he couldn’t bear to reopen the painful wound. Today, he didn’t just mention him, but also compared them.
Ji Shiting was surprised.
“I just read the company’s report, and I suddenly realized that you’ve done a lot in the past few years.” Grandpa Ji smiled and shook his head. “You’re steady and sharp. Not bad. Much better than your father. Who else could your father have given this responsibility to? I feel sorry for you.”
Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow and said, “Are you asking me to get married and have kids again, Grandpa?”
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 However, Grandpa Ji shook his head and said, “Even if you get married and have a child now, it’ll still be many years before that child can become independent. Before that, you still have to support yourself.”
Ji Shiting couldn’t help chuckling at the thought of the child in Shengge’s stomach. “Don’t you want a great-grandchild?”
“Nonsense.” Grandpa Ji glared at him. “I don’t plan to rush you, but that doesn’t mean I don’t value you. You still have to be considerate.”
Ji Shiting didn’t say anything.
Sure enough, Grandpa Ji threw out a document. “Didn’t you say you were getting married? I’ll recommend someone to you. Do you know about the Jing Family?”
Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow and said, “The Jing Family is very powerful in the military and in the congress, but if such a family is rooted in the capital, they will only marry into other families.”
Yang City was the economic center of the country. All the major corporations represented by T.S. Corporation were rooted here, but they also kept a distance from the political forces at the top.
“That’s right.” Grandpa Ji nodded. “Logically speaking, the Jing Family doesn’t have anything to do with us, but I heard from my old friend that the young Ms. Jing admires you a lot. Perhaps you can give it a try. If you succeed, it will only be beneficial to the company and our family.”
“I’ve never met this Ms. Jing before. We don’t even know each other.” Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow. “Admire? Are you mistaken, Grandpa?”
“I’m just asking you to give it a try. What’s there to be afraid of?” Grandpa Ji glared at him. “Are you still thinking about Ye Shengge?”
Ji Shiting frowned and took the document from him, but he didn’t read it.
“Grandpa, you really want a great-grandchild, don’t you?” He suddenly smiled.
