The food provided at the funeral hall was mostly similar. It consisted of dishes like yukgaejang, tteok, jeon, and sliced beef, served in disposable paper bowls.
Even though there wasn’t a formal arrangement, she helped with the table setting, offering customary condolences for people to eat a lot. At that moment, Kyeong-jun returned Dajeong’s fully charged phone.
“Thank you.”
The man was absent, and it wasn’t the time to make a call now; she just checked it for now.
There were quite a few condolence messages coming in. While looking at them, Dajeong habitually clicked on the group chat for Jaeho fans that had accumulated conversations like a mountain.
With her knees drawn up, Dajeong’s eyes, which had been fixed on the phone, gradually widened. At the same time, the nurses eating also started talking.
“Jaeho is a third-generation chaebol. It’s really shocking news, isn’t it?”
“Right. Nurse Yoon, haven’t you seen the article? Well, it’s not important now. I’m sorry. Don’t worry about it.”
Incomprehensible stories reached her ears.
[See, I was right, wasn’t I? As expected, he’s the successor of Taemyeong!ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
The text messages in the group chat were also incomprehensible.
Dajeong tightened her grip on the phone. Holding her breath, she clicked on the news link that had been posted in the chat.
Yeongsuk, who was eating, glanced at Dajeong’s screen and spoke.
“You probably just saw it. The news has been crazy all day today. Nurse Yoon, didn’t you know?”

Choi, the director of Heuntae’s executive secretary, gathered the secretaries at the main gate and was waiting for someone. The sight of black-suited men lined up in a row made passing employees glance for a moment, as the scene was somewhat unfamiliar even to the employees.
Eventually, a black sedan arrived. When Director Choi opened the door, a neatly shod foot first stepped out and touched the ground.
The person who got out of the car was none other than Jaeho. When Director Choi politely bowed, other secretaries also followed suit with formalities.
With neatly combed hair, three-dimensional facial features, and beautiful eyes, coupled with a soberly dressed black suit, the man’s imposing presence was emphasized. After Jaeho looked around with a somewhat dry expression, he moved on.
Jaeho, followed closely by the secretaries, confidently crossed the lobby. The nearest to him were Director Jung and Director Choi. The group continued to attract the attention of employees until they disappeared into the elevator.
“That’s crazy… Really, it’s Jaeho.”
Someone muttered.
“Wow. The atmosphere… It’s breathtaking.”
However, Jaeho, who had gotten on the elevator, was expressing dissatisfaction towards Director Choi.
“Why are you doing such a noisy thing?”
Then, Director Choi chuckled.
“It’s Chairman’s order.”
Jaeho looked awkward, and Director Choi continued speaking.
“Since it turned out like this, he said to welcome it grandly. As loudly as possible.”
I see. Jaeho muttered to himself.

Jaeho’s article was an unexpected event, but as always, Heuntae was not particularly flustered. Life is always a series of variables, and that’s why it’s always a different stimulus. If a businessperson fears variables, they can never become significant.
Intentionally, he called Jaeho to the main office and instructed him to come in as noisily as possible. He called him urgently as if there was an urgent matter, but in fact, there was no specific business. It was just the need for a radical action to show to the world.
No matter how messy the article was, there was a need to preemptively suppress anyone from speaking out recklessly. Everyone had to know that he wasn’t a person in a position to be chewed up easily. He was the successor of Taemyeong, the top ranker in the business world, and Heuntae’s grandson. He held the second-largest stake in the affiliated companies after Heuntae, and he was an individual who graduated from the best business school in the world with a master’s degree in business administration.
Even if the unverified successor caused a temporary shake in the stock due to the anxiety of the investors, it would soon return to normal. It was something that had to be experienced someday.
The reporter who wrote the article didn’t want to blame her much either. Could you blame someone for diligently reporting what turned out to be all true? Rather, she felt no discomfort because it was all true, not spreading false news.
Instead, she thought that it wouldn’t be bad to quickly adapt Jaeho to work through this incident.
“However,”
Heuntae, looking at Jaeho across from him, opened his mouth.
“Did you talk to that nurse girl? I’m a little concerned about that.”
“I haven’t yet. Did you call me because of that?”
“There’s a reason for that.”
