Chapter 1149 - More Than Just A Pretty Face
Miss Kitty Jin harrumphed in fury that not all of Jasper Leung's friends joined Black Stars Singapore. But she sounded so cute that Jasper almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, he was able to restrain himself from doing so. No matter how friendly Miss Kitty was to him, she was still his boss at the end of the day. Not only that. She was also the precious daughter of his idol businessman, Jin Liwei. Just that fact alone was enough for Jasper to treat Miss Kitty with careful courtesy.
"Hmph! It's the loss of those poopoo-heads if they don't join Black Stars! It's the bestest fan club forever and ever! Those who didn't join will never know how super-duper to the highest level amazing my mommy is and how beautiful and kind and talented and generous and awesome Mommy is just like the cute and mighty me! Meow~"
"Yes, Miss Kitty. You're right." Jasper smiled, not caring in the least that the "poopoo-heads" his boss was dissing were his own friends. The only thought in his mind right now was how cute his boss was. He wished that he could meet Miss Kitty in person. He bet that she would be a beautiful child because her parents were both gorgeous.
It was also at times like this that he would be reminded just how young Miss Kitty was. Although he didn't know her exact age and felt it inappropriate to ask at this early stage in his career at White Tigress company, he could guess by her voice, her use of immature terms like poopoo-head and all the meowing, and of course, her mother's age.
Madam Jin or Iris Long was only in her early twenties. If she was really Miss Kitty's biological mother like what CEO Jin Liwei and Miss Kitty claimed, then she must have given birth while she was still a teenager. This made Jasper look at his idol businessman differently and label him a beast but it didn't lessen his respect for CEO Jin's superb business leadership. Also, the great thing about the situation was that CEO Jin still married the woman he impregnated when she finally became an adult.
For Jasper, this was important. Even though CEO Jin was a beast for impregnating a teenager, at least he wasn't a total sleazeball for abandoning the woman who gave birth to his own child and even married her. On top of that, there were reports that CEO Jin was madly in love with his young wife. It was said that he had mellowed a lot after going public with his relationship with Iris Long. He wasn't as cold and indifferent as before. In fact, he would even become extremely friendly if someone heaped praises on his wife in front of him.
Back to the present, Jasper listened to his boss chatter. This was another thing that he quickly discovered. Miss Kitty loved to talk. Too much sometimes. Besides his official work as the company's Communications Coordinator, he was also basically a kind of babysitter for his boss. Not in the sense that he needed to take care of her. She didn't need that especially since they hadn't even met in person yet.
He was a babysitter in the sense that he would spend time chatting with her, or more specifically, listening to her seemingly endless chatter, and also helping her understand the underlying meaning in the attitudes of some of their company's clients. Miss Kitty was straightforward and still immature in so many ways. She was still unable to comprehend that some people would say one thing but mean another. She would always take the literal meaning of the words and work from there, not realizing that some of their clients might not always be willing to spell out everything in exact words.
Another thing was that she had no filter. There were times that she would offend clients because of her straightforward personality. Even CEO Jin Liwei personally asked Jasper to help teach Miss Kitty to become more tactful. Fortunately, Miss Kitty was open to learning. In fact, she was an incredibly quick learner that Jasper couldn't help but be amazed. She only needed to be taught something once.
As expected of the child of CEO Jin Liwei! Miss Kitty Jin was definitely a child genius!
Part of his job as Communications Coordinator is to become the company's main spokesperson and be the bridge between his boss Miss Kitty and their important clients. This was his forte as someone who specialized in the Public Relations field. He had the ability to build a beautiful, shining public image for anyone. His mission was to boost the overall reputation of White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services and paint Miss Kitty Jin as an amazing boss.
At the moment, one of the tasks that he was assigned was to introduce CEO Jin Liwei's wife and Miss Kitty's mother, Iris Long, to the Singaporean public.
"Miss Kitty, please be patient," he assured his boss. "Singaporeans will come to know and love your mother very soon. It's not like she's a completely unfamiliar figure to us. Her song with your uncle, the superstar Jin Chonglin, 'Shining Eyes', the theme song for the hit TV drama 'Our Love, Our Destiny' reached number 1 in the music charts here in Singapore last season."
"That's right, catfight! Mommy wrote the song because she's the bestest musician ever in the whole wide world, even better than Uncle Lin Lin! It's not only in Singapore that 'Shining Eyes' became number 1. It also topped the charts in the Philippines, my Uncle Dom's mother country! The localized versions also reached high ranks in the music charts in other countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand! Mommy is super-duper to the highest level awesome! Right, Jaspy? Meow~"
"You're right, Miss Kitty."
Although Jasper thought that the main reason that the song performed so well outside of China was largely due to the combination of Jin Chonglin's superstar halo and the high quality of the TV drama, he still agreed with his boss' claim that it was because of her mother. On second thought, he wouldn't deny that the song was indeed written and composed extremely well.
Iris Long was definitely more than just a pretty face. Her talents as a musician, both in composing and performing, were all outstanding as well.
