The next day I woke up early in the morning because before I slept last night I got an email from Pollywogs Corporation saying they agreed to have a meeting with me in my company this 8 Am.
Actually, It's not really my job to entertain them more because they are the one who needs me and not me. I just let them have a meeting with me because I want to give them a shot.
After wearing my decent work attire I go out in my room and go down to these freaking long stairs. I go directly to the kitchen because I felt thirsty. "Can you give me a glass of water?" I said to one of our maids as I sat on the stool.
The maid did what I said and gave me a glass of water. I drank it all before going down from the stool and was about to walk out of the mansion when I heard my grandfather call me behind.
"Jennie..." He said as he makes his way down the stairs "Why so early today? It's only 6 Am" he said.
I approach him and he pulls me for an embrace. I pull out "I'm always early" I said.
"But your way than early today"
"Because I have a meeting with Pollywogs Corporation this morning" I said and saw his eyes widen.
"I thought you don't want that company?" He asks.
"Yeah but I think of giving them a shot to see what they can do" I said as I look to my wristwatch "I'm going now grandpa" I said and kiss his cheek.
"Okay take care" he said and I just nodded before going out.
I saw kwangsoo already standing beside the car and he opens the door for me in the back seat before going to the driver's seat. "Good Morning Miss Kim" he greets and smiles at me.
Kwangsoo is my grandfather's driver but not the only driver. Kwangsoo has so many things that can do and that's why my grandpa hire him. Kwangsoo is been working with my grandpa since I was young so I'm really close to him.
He treats me as his daughter since then because her daughter dies. After all, she had a tumor and that causes her to die and after his daughter dies his wife leave her for he doesn't know why.
So Just like him, I treat him as part of my family too. Kwangsoo always helps me with my problems because every time I'm in dilemma I'm always telling him about that and he's always helping me to solve it.
"Good morning to you too" I said and nodded at him. He started the engine and started to drive away.
After minutes of the ride, we reach the company. Kwangsoo opens the door for me and I go out and go directly inside and as always they greet me but I just passed to them as if they don't exist.
I go to my private elevator after minutes of waiting for it open I go out. I stay in my office for hours doing some of my documents until I heard a knock on my door.
"Come in" I said and the door swung open revealing my brother's secretary.
Yeah I talk to him yesterday that I would want to borrow her secretary since I need to have one in my meeting and he agreed with me but he said just for today cause his secretary is kinda scared of me.
"They're already in the conference room Ms. Kim" Kang Seulgi said and bow at me.
"Okay give me a moment" I said and stand up before going to my bathroom and rectifying myself.
Once I'm done I go out and motion my so-called secretary for today to go behind me and she did. The conference room is just down on my floor so we go to the elevator and press the floor.
The elevator door swung open and we step out. Seulgi walk beside me while writing something to her notebook and she seems to be serious and that's what I like. She's really taking her work seriously unlike some stupid shits out there.
She opens the door of the Conference room for me before she goes in too. Few people are inside and they all stand up and greet me once they saw me.
"Okay let's proceed to your proposal Mr. Jongin" I said still wearing my blank expression.
Jongin nodded before motioning his secretary to start the presentation. Her secretary stands up and turns on the projector before starting illustrating.
She starts to blah blah some things that would benefit my company and Jongin's company when In fact only their company would get benefit from that stupid Mall they want to build.
It will cost 27 Billion to build that freaking big mall and if ever I accept their proposal that Mall will be the biggest mall here in Korea because it will be going to be 6 million sq ft.
However, I do like their proposal because it is rare and it will go to be famous if ever but what I don't like is how they're trying to take advantage of my company.
"What do you think Miss Kim?" Jongin smirk.
"Do you think I'm dumb?" I seriously said to him that caused him to gulp.
"Why? w-what's the problem Miss Kim?" He innocently asks.
I took the folders they gave to me and throw them at him "If you think you can fool me...well you can't. I carefully read every page of it and it says in 27 Billion I need to give 17 Billion for my share while you will just give 10 Billion and if the mall start to earn money I will only have a 40% share of the money the mall earns while you will have 60%? Now tell me if I would agree with this nonsense proposal?" I said and smirk at him.
He can't fool me. I have already encountered a lot of companies that try to take advantage of my company but they never succeed. I'm a genius and I know if they have bad intentions for my company.
He straightened his body before he speaks. "Uhmmm you know Miss Kim we might have a small problem about that amount. I believe it's not supposed to be like that" he said and I heard him curse himself.
"Oh come on jongin! You can't fool me because I can already sense that you tried to trick me...didn't you?" I said.
"Of course not! I will never do that to you Miss Kim" he said "let's drop it. Now do you like the project?" He asks.
"Yes I do but we still need to talk about the amount before I sign your proposal" I said and smirked at him once again.
"Okay fine. 15 Billion to you and 12 Million to me and we will have 50/50%" he said but that didn't satisfy me.
If he tried to trick me but he didn't succeed well I can trick him and I'm sure I will succeed "13.5 Billion to me and 13.5 billion to you and 70% to me and 30%" I said and smirked.
"What?! You can't do that! That's unfair!" He said and glared at me.
"It's not unfair it's just fine...remember your company is near the cliff of bankruptcy so I'm the one you need to save your company" I said to him.
"45% and that would be fine" he pleads.
"30% and that's it. Take it or leave it" he stays silent for a moment so I continued "If you don't accept it then it's fine. Nothing will happen to my company but you? Well, good luck" I said and stand up. "I'll wait for your answer within this week" I said before going out of the conference room.
"I noted all the important things Miss Kim" seulgi said.
"That's great. Place it to my table later" I said and she nodded.
"You still have to interview the 15 applicants that you order for Ms. Mcdonie yesterday" she said.
"Okay please assist them one by one later. I'll just take a rest" I said and she agrees before I go inside my office.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡ
After taking a 1-hour rest earlier I start interviewing the applicants and right now it's already 2 pm and I already interviewed 14 applicants but no one of them gives me what I'm looking for.
I tried to ask them several questions but they didn't give me the exact answer I'm looking for. Now I'm on the last applicant and this one is the only applicant so I wish she's good enough to be suited in position.
"Let her in" I said to seulgi and she nodded she open the door and the short petite girl with the good aura entered.
She smiles at me and greets me before seating in front of me. She gave me her portfolio and I start to read it. "Jisoo Kim, 24 years old and graduated with the course of business management and a valedictorian?" She nodded.
What the hell?! This girl is just as genius as me so why the hell she choose to apply to be fucking Secretary when she can start her own business?! and we're just the same age! Oh my God!
"You're graduated and valedictorian so why do you choose to apply as a secretary when you can start your own business or you can apply for the higher position?" I ask and raise my eyebrow.
"Simply because I want this job and I believe I can bring some value as a secretary. Not that I couldn't to other higher positions but this is me and I want to start from the bottom to prove to myself that If I can be a secretary then I could do better in the future" she said still smiling at me.
"I like your beliefs about starting from the bottom" I said and nod at her.
"Thank you Miss Kim" she said.
"So on the last question. Why do you think you're suitable for being my secretary?"
"I have good communication skills and I'm friendly, and people feel good with me. Simply I believe I can do a good job as a personal assistant" she simply said.
I nodded. I think I just found my new secretary and less dumb than before!
"Great! You hired!" I said.
"Really?!" She squeals like a kid and started to dance.
Okay, I think I just hired a kid.
