In the lobby of Seohan Electronics’ headquarters, Do Han waited for Team Manager Han Dong Sik.
He was introduced to Dong Sik last year through Suho, who said Dong Sik was the manager of the Development Planning Team of the TV Business Division at Seohan Electronics.
After a few dining occasions and growing closer, Dong Sik mentioned he wanted to work with Do Han.
It wasn’t an official scout offer, but it didn’t seem like just a joke either.
Dong Sik didn’t hold much hope due to Do Han’s high status.
Even for a conglomerate like Seohan Electronics, it wouldn’t be much interesting for Do Han.
Why would Do Han, who was co-CEO of a startup he founded with a college friend five years ago, want to become a mere employee?
Dong Sik thought this but couldn’t help mentioning joining their company every time they met.
Then, one day, Do Han suddenly accepted Dong Sik’s offer.
The decision was made because he liked the Seohan Electronics building, which Dong Sik found quite absurd, but he was internally overjoyed.
He was so happy that he even offered to escort Do Han from the lobby to the office on his first day.
“Ah, CEO Ji. You’ve come early.”
Do Han let out a chuckle at Dong Sik’s overly enthusiastic greeting.
Dong Sik, who usually called him by his first name, was now using the formal title and speaking politely, teasing him.
“You’re not going to call me that in the office, are you?”
“Of course not. How can I call a subordinate CEO?”
Dong Sik led Do Han towards the elevators with a constantly smiling face.
Feeling like he had gained a powerful ally, Dong Sik’s expression was bright.
“But isn’t ‘deputy’ a bit low? From being called CEO to suddenly dropping in rank. Shouldn’t we have brought you in at least as a manager?”
That part bothered Dong Sik the most.
If it were up to him, he would have offered Do Han the position of a team manager right away, given that he had stepped down from a successful business.
However, Do Han himself chose the position of deputy.
He thought it was appropriate for his age.
Dong Sik appreciated his consideration, given the other employees’ perspectives.
Anyway, whether it was a deputy’s or a manager’s salary, it would be insignificant for Do Han.
Whatever his real reason for joining Seohan Electronics, it wasn’t for the money, so the position didn’t seem to matter much.
“I’d like to be a new employee.”
“A new employee?”
“Yes. It’s just unfortunate I can’t apply for open recruitment because I don’t have a college diploma.”
“So, you had your heart set on our company from the start.”
Dong Sik frowned, wondering why he had to make things so difficult.
Do Han just smiled lightly.
They entered the elevator, and Dong Sik pressed the button for the 7th floor.
“Our team is on the 7th floor. The cafeteria is in the basement, and the rooftop is good for a breath of fresh air. There’s not much else to see.”
Soon arriving at the 7th floor, Dong Sik continued as they walked through the corridor.
“You’ll figure things out, but if you have any questions, ask our team’s youngest. She’ll teach you kindly.”
Just hearing about the ‘youngest’, Do Han’s heart throbbed intensely.
His reason for joining Seohan Electronics was precisely because of the Development Planning Team’s youngest, Lee Sa Rang.
Until recently, Do Han didn’t even know she was here.
After dropping out of his second college and starting a business with Suho, Do Han’s days were hectic.
He never forgot Sa Rang, but he was so busy that he didn’t even realize time had passed to the extent that she had graduated and found a job.
Then, last year, he saw her in a photo shown by Dong Sik on his phone.
It was a picture taken with team members at the end of a 1-night 2-day retreat, and Sa Rang was in it.
Sitting in the front row, making a ‘V’ sign with her hands, her face still radiated with brightness.
From that day, Do Han started longing for her again, so much that he wanted to rush to see her immediately.
He hadn’t erased her from his heart and mind; she had just been buried under five years’ worth of time, and seeing her in the photo was enough to rekindle his longing.
But how could he face her now, after all this time?
Even if there had been a reason to break up, it was nothing but a cowardly excuse.
He didn’t want to be remembered as a horrible person by her, but not being able to see her was truly dreadful.
Had he known earlier, he might have chosen to stay by Lee Sa Rang’s side.
He couldn’t go back to his life before seeing the photo.
He could wish for her happiness from afar without seeing her face, but after seeing her, the desire to be with her became overwhelming.
His heart, yearning for Sa Rang, felt like it would burst.
Stepping down from his position as co-CEO to meet her again was not difficult.
It was just hard that he couldn’t go to her sooner due to the many things he had to settle.
“Don’t I have a mentor? I heard in companies, you learn from your mentor.”
He wanted to be her junior as a new employee, but not having a college degree was a problem.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
