After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

When Ji Yuying saw Ji Nianci walking over, she was a little stunned. The smile that she couldn't hide just now became somewhat forced, and her speech became stuttering.

"Sis, why did you come down?"

"I heard you guys having a great time chatting upstairs, so I came over to join in the fun."

Ci smiled and sat down next to her:

"I heard that a few of you are interested in joining the Ji family's company?"

"Ah...yes...yes." The smiles of the crowd faded as they realized the woman in front of them had overheard their conversation, leaving them unsure how to react.

Ji Nianci's smile deepened, and she continued, "If you want to go, you can submit your resume on the official website. If you pass the initial screening, an HR representative will call you for an interview. Good luck, everyone."

"This...this...Yuying, what's going on?" Seeing that the job that was originally within their grasp was now going to become an interview and competition with others again, everyone turned their puzzled gazes to Ji Yuying.

Ji Yuying immediately felt a little embarrassed. She grabbed Ji Nianci's hand and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Oh, sister, just let them join us directly. They are all my classmates, and their abilities are not bad. Besides, I just promised them."

She leaned closer and whispered in Ji Nianci's ear, "Sister, you don't want me to lose face in front of my classmates, do you? Please ask Dad for me."

“Yuying, everyone who joins the company has to go through an interview and assessment. I’m going to be angry if you do this. You said yourself that your classmates are all very capable, and I believe in them. They can get the job smoothly even through normal channels.”

Ji Ci spoke to her earnestly, then quietly pulled her hand away and walked towards the restaurant, leaving Ji Yuying awkwardly facing the group of people.

Ji Nianci sneered inwardly. Weren't those people just hoping to get in through Ji Yuying's introduction so they could skip the internship and become full-time employees directly?

They can even use her name to bully others in the company. Do they really think Ji Yuying has that much power? How naive!

Seeing that Ji Nianci was being so disrespectful and making her lose face, Ji Yuying's face darkened instantly, and her smile vanished. She didn't say anything more, lifted her skirt, and left.

Only that group of people stood there, looking at each other blankly.

"What? I really thought we could get in so easily. Turns out she just said a few nice things to appease us." A girl sighed, picked up her glass, took a sip, and sounded very disappointed.

At this moment, Yi Yue couldn't help but speak up: "I really don't understand, what right does Ji Ci, an adopted daughter of the Ji family, have to veto Yu Ying's decision? It's just that our Yu Ying is too kind and doesn't know how to fight back. Look how badly she's been bullied by this so-called older sister!"

"Is her sister really an adopted daughter of the Ji family?" a boy asked curiously.

Yi Yue rolled her eyes at him: "Otherwise what? It's a fact that everyone has always known that the Ji family has an adopted daughter. It's just that no one has ever revealed who she is."

But every time we asked Yuying if her sister was adopted, Yuying never denied it, you all remember? Yuying never officially announced it in public, it was just to save face for her. We never expected her to be so shameless, actually considering herself a member of the Ji family.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement; they all remembered that such a thing had indeed happened.

“Yeah, so why won’t she let us into the company? Yu Ying agreed, what right does she have to refuse? It’s all because of different genes. Even if you grow up in the same family, you can still see the difference at a glance.”

The girl who said this rolled her eyes. She had just gotten the job and lost it all because of someone who had no right to raise a daughter, which made her even angrier.

"Yeah, did you guys see that just now? Yu Ying was begging her sister. Why is that adopted daughter so arrogant? Yu Ying is her biological daughter, yet she's so humble."

"In the end, it's because Yuying is too kind, sigh..."

Everyone felt indignant on Ji Yuying's behalf, and their gazes toward Ji Nianci were filled with disgust.

As Jinian Ci sat in the restaurant enjoying dessert, she naturally felt their gazes. Undeterred, she raised her head to meet their eyes, her smile unchanged.

Of course she knew what they were talking about; they were saying she was the Ji family's adopted daughter. Ji Yuying was really shameless; wasn't she afraid of being exposed?

However, in my previous life, although I found it unbelievable when I heard these words, I didn't expose her for the sake of Ji Yuying's reputation and swallowed my grievances.

Ji Yuying probably only deceived others so recklessly because she was certain that she wouldn't tell anyone.

However, the current Ji Nianci is not the same Ji Nianci as before. Since she doesn't care about her reputation, then let her not care about it.

The banquet soon moved on to the performance segment. Ji Yuying, as the star of the banquet, was the first to take the stage. After delivering a long speech, she performed a piano piece.

She chose a very elegant piece, which was quite difficult to perform. Her performance was neither good nor bad; she didn't make any mistakes, but she also failed to capture the soul of the piece. However, the audience was very supportive and applauded enthusiastically.

Ji Yuying stood up and gave an elegant bow to the people below the stage.

Seeing the reaction of those around her, Ji Nianci clapped her hands twice as a gesture.

"Yu Ying, you played so beautifully! This is the first time I've ever heard such beautiful music." Yi Yue was the first to speak. As Ji Yu Ying's little follower, she was always the first to flatter her.

"What do you think, sister?" Ji Yuying ignored Yi Yue's words and instead asked her, with a confident smile on her face.

Seeing this, everyone looked in her direction, as if curious about what kind of evaluation her older sister would give.

Ji Nianci moved her lips, but still went against her conscience and said, "It's pretty good."

Pfft, you think you're so great at pretending?

At this moment, Yi Yue seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Ji Nianci, "Um, Miss Ji, how about you perform the next program? Today is Yu Ying's graduation banquet, and as her older sister, you should do something, right? We are all looking forward to your performance."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at her with a mixture of gossip and mockery.

After all, Ji Yuying had mentioned to them more than once, intentionally or unintentionally, that her older sister was useless, not proficient in any of the arts, and had poor grades in school. She only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, and had no ambition.

They were quite curious: would Ci really dare to perform on stage?
