Chapter 1020: Worshipping an Unknown Genius (1/2)
The company-wide post-wedding celebration was of course a big deal. It was estimated that the newlyweds Jin Liwei and Iris Long spent more money in treating every single one of their employees today for lunch than what they spent on their small, private wedding.
Jin Corporation alone and its subsidiary companies already boasted an employee population numbering in the hundreds of thousands. In addition, the catering service that they hired and the food that they chose to serve their employees were top quality.
At the moment, Jin Liwei was finally able to leave after receiving countless congratulatory words from everyone he happened to pass by while walking. Each department enjoyed their own catering service so they didn't have to leave their office floor.
Jin Liwei visited every department in his company building because his wife told him this morning to show his face to his employees who would be enjoying the celebratory lunch buffet in honour of their marriage.
His last stop was the IT Department, or more specifically, the special security unit of the department. He glanced at his assistant, Xu Tian.
”Go to a department of your choice and celebrate with them. I have something to talk about with my tech team. I'll meet you in my office later after the lunch break.”
”Understood, President.”
”Did you book a restaurant reservation yet for the dinner tonight with the executives?”
”Yes, sir.” Xu Tian told him the reservation details.
Jin Liwei nodded. ”Good.”
”Young Miss Ketchup informed me that Mrs. Jin might also come along to the dinner if her condition feels alright, so I reserved a few extra seats for her and Dominic Chua and an additional person that she might want to bring.”
”Oh?” Jin Liwei looked surprised. He didn't know that his wife was planning to come to the dinner scheduled for tonight. They already agreed a few days ago that it was better for her to skip it because the different smells in the restaurant might trigger another bout of her morning sickness.
”Tiantian, you poopoo-head!” Ketchup's familiar child voice berated her daddy's long-time assistant in an adorably irate tone. ”Tiantian wasn't supposed to tell Daddy about Mommy's plan to attend tonight's dinner party! Meow!”
”You didn't tell me that it was supposed to be a secret, Young Miss Ketchup.”
”Oh no, fandango! Uh-oh! The cute and mighty Ketchup forgot to mention that it was supposed to be a secret! Oopsie daisy~ Ketchup didn't expect that Tiantian needs everything to be spelled out to you and thought that you would've figured it out by yourself. My daddy said that Tiantian is a smart man so you should use your brain more or else Ketchup's powerful system will leave you in the dust! Meow~”
Xu Tian's mouth twitched but his professionalism helped him maintain an impassive expression even after the cheeky cat AI's comment about his apparently lacking brain power compared to hers. He decided that it was better if he didn't reply. If he did, Ketchup might find another reason to chatter nonstop about another shortcoming that she found in him yet again. Fortunately, the AI chatterbox stopped focusing on him.
