949 Bestest Daddy in the Whole Wide World (1/2)

”Why, Daddy? Meowuwuwu!”

Jin Liwei's mouth twitched but he forced himself to be strict to his overdramatic AI daughter. ”I'm somewhat acquainted to the owner because he gifted me with a platinum membership some years ago which is the highest level in his exclusive restaurant. But I never used it nor did I ever visit his place because I don't like him. He's an arrogant bastard—I mean, he's an arrogant man. Ketchup, pretend that I didn't say that bad word.”

Ketchup snickered. ”Okie dokie, Daddy! Ehehehe. Meow~”

”As I was saying, that man is arrogant and always trying to fawn over people he believes will elevate his status and reputation. He always made me uncomfortable so I didn't bother interacting with him. In fact, I already forgot about that man until you reminded me of him tonight. The reason I rejected your request is not because I don't want to help you—I do—but I simply don't want to give a slimy person like him an opportunity to make me owe him a favour.”

”Oh! Ketchup understands, Daddy! Yes, we shouldn't interact with poopoo-heads who'll take advantage of our happy family! It's fine, Daddy. Ketchup will just explain to my waiter comrade that the cute and still a little mighty me can't help save his job this time if he gets fired. Meow…”

Jin Liwei froze when his wife shifted positions to lay on her other side. When he was sure that she was in deep sleep again, he gently extricated himself from her and pressed a soft kiss on her cheek before leaving the bed. He continued his conversation with Ketchup outside the bedroom in the suite's living area to make sure that he wouldn't disturb his wife.

”I only said that I'm not willing to talk to the owner of the exclusive restaurant,” he told his AI daughter. ”I didn't say that I'm not going to help your comrade.”

”Oh oh oh! Daddy wants to help Ketchup's comrade? How? Meow!”

”Tell your comrade that it's better to quit his job at the exclusive restaurant instead of waiting on pins and needles to get fired. Jin Corporation has several subsidiary companies in the hospitality industry. I also personally invest in many high-class hotels and restaurants around the world so recommending a person to work at any of them should be a simple matter. They might not be exclusive to only a few VIPs but they should have more opportunities for career improvement, not only in this country but also abroad. And anytime that he's able to get promoted, the pay and benefits will surely increase as well.”

He chuckled, not the least bit bothered that his AI daughter was fawning over him when he was just complaining about the fawning attitude of the exclusive restaurant owner. Which father wouldn't want his own daughter to fawn over him? A heartless one! And he, Jin Liwei, was not a heartless father! He loved all of his children, especially since their mother was the woman he loved the most in the world.

”Give your comrade Xu Tian's number,” he instructed.
