When he chuckled, his voice, which had been laughing, suddenly sank seriously.
“The chairman and I have different purposes.”
Only then did Yeeun turn her head to look at Cha Hyun directly.
Sometimes playful, but not someone who talks nonsense.
Such a person is now saying that the chairman and I have different goals.
“Although it looks like we’re on the same boat, we’re actually walking on completely different paths.”
“A different path?”
“The chairman wants to compete with Doha and Inwoo, hoping to see a synergy effect by making them compete. He holds two rice cakes in his hands, squeezing them and gauging which one is heavier.”
I’ve already heard that.
He wants to cultivate Cha Doha as a rival to Cha Inwoo and make them compete.
So that’s what she was needed for.
But the situation she witnessed after entering the company was a bit different.
Just by promoting Cha Doha at the Federation of Industries meeting, you can tell whose favor Chairman Cha Jiseop is in.
In the Hanju Group newspaper article 1, Cha Doha’s name is mentioned instead of Cha Inwoo, and even at significant events, Cha Doha stands as the company representative.
To anyone, it seemed like the future of Hanju was in Cha Doha’s hands.
“Wasn’t it already in consideration to appoint Director Bom as the successor…?”
“At first glance, it may seem like Chairman Cha has his heart set on Doha, but that’s absolutely not true.”
Cha Hyun, who lowered his head, quickly spoke.
“The chairman can never exclude Inwoo from his heart. He is the precious heir to this family.”
People familiar with Chairman Cha Jiseop find the current situation quite perplexing.
The beloved eldest son, Cha Unbo, versus the much-loved grandson, Cha Inwoo.
The situation now, excluding Cha Inwoo and going back, is uncertain as to how long it will last.
Even though Chairman Cha Jiseop, who was seriously angry about something, is currently using Cha Doha for a while, the dominant opinion is that eventually he will favor Cha Inwoo.
The reason why Hanju Mulsan does not listen to the Strategic Planning Headquarters is also because of that.
“But not me. I will definitely make Doha the owner of Hanju.”
Whether there is some secret purpose hidden in Chairman Cha Jiseop or not, Cha Hyun’s intentions were clear.
“My goal is for Doha to become the owner of Hanju. For Doha to reign over everything. That’s why I want to become the head of the Data Bank. Just that. So that…”
This house can be established.
Although he mumbled the rest, it was not to the extent that Yeeun couldn’t understand.
She momentarily entered and exited Cha Hyun’s own world, where he was thinking so carefully.
Looking straight at Yeeun, Cha Hyun’s black pupils looked empty like a deep well, yet at the same time, they seemed extremely sharp.
It invoked a bit of sympathy and a bit of fear.
“I brought Yeeun into this game, but unlike the chairman, I have no intention of hurting Yeeun. I’ve never had such intentions.”
In other words, Chairman Cha Jiseop is saying that Yeeun can be hurt.
The source of the threats that Cha Hyun had thrown so far is also a story about Chairman Cha Jiseop.
“I used Yeeun’s desperate situation, but I don’t think I did anything wrong. If it helped Yeeun, it’s fine, although it might not be a good thing. Until now.”
Until now…
At that one word, a tightness gripped her throat as if she were short of breath.
Yeeun, who had entered deeper into Chairman Cha Jiseop’s game with yesterday’s incident, could no longer be considered safe.
Chairman Cha Jiseop confirmed her usefulness, and he will manipulate her on the stage.
What will happen to her after she has served her purpose?
The vague fear crept up to her ankles.
However, it was already too late to withdraw her foot.
Cha Hyun knows this, so he might have that expression.
“Mom, I’ll take responsibility. So, you take responsibility for Doha.”
At Cha Hyun’s words, Yeeun bit her trembling lips tightly.
“From now on, it’s not a threat but a request. Yeeun is no longer unrelated to our Doha.”
“What… do you mean? No longer unrelated?”
Yeeun’s voice trembled as she asked.
“Yeeun slept with Doha. Now that she has become Doha’s woman, from now on, help only Doha.”
Doha’s woman.
A sigh-like breath cut across Yeeun’s lips.
Is everyone going to see her like that now? As Doha’s woman?
“Chairman? I don’t know what he was thinking inside that snake-like mind, but you and I have to do whatever it takes to make Doha defeat Inwoo.”
Although it’s a fight between Doha and Inwoo, in reality, it’s a fight between Doha and Chairman Cha Jiseop.
“You have to win in every fight. Understand?”
From there, Yeeun, as Doha’s woman, has to help him.
“So, be wise like a snake, Yeeun.”
Doha’s woman.
It was a story that was not even remotely funny.
In the end, it means becoming a hidden woman who warms his bed in Doha’s nights.
A peculiar woman who whispers what Hanju Group wants every night.
“I’ll keep in mind to be wise like a snake.”
But Yeeun cannot become such a presence.
“So, Director, please keep one thing in mind.”
Yeeun intends to remain his image trainer until the end.
“I’m not Director Cha Doha’s woman. I have no intention of becoming the government. I don’t want it at all.”
Being Doha’s woman but unable to possess him, the cheap government that will eventually be let go.
Losing what was once held so dear.
Letting go of what was once cherished.
She knows the end of it too well.
How much it drives people crazy.
The bitterness of life that has been experienced to the point of being sickening.
If you want to avoid tasting that loss again, you shouldn’t have it in the first place.
This is the first reason to treat the relationship with Doha lightly.
“But let’s do our best. Because to protect me, Director, you must win in this fight for sure.”
To do that, she just needs to fulfill her role as a tool for Doha, and in the process, get what she wants.
That’s the correct answer and the only way not to get hurt.
“Our mother.”
Such a light and simple path.
“I entrust you, Director.”
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
