Tae Sang didn’t want to inconvenience Cha, but once the Chairman’s office was involved, there was no room for choice. Secretary Kim furrowed his brows deeply, trying to look pitiful.
Tae Sang sighed heavily, narrowing his eyes, before reluctantly opening his mouth.
“……Understood.”
“You’ve made a good choice!”
Unable to hide his mounting joy, Secretary Kim spoke with a voice full of delight. Afraid that Tae Sang might change his mind, he quickly ended the conversation.
“I will clear your schedule for tomorrow morning.”
“There’s no need. A report only takes 10 minutes.”
“……Yes. Then I will contact you after the executive meeting.”
Secretary Kim swallowed once, smoothly spouting the white lie.
The summon from Chairman Cha must have something to do with the engagement that Tae Sang had willfully broken. Even though it seemed impossible to patch things up, the Chairman was still trying to persuade him.
There’s no way it will end in 30 minutes. Convinced of this, Secretary Kim quietly took out his phone and sent a message to his team members.
‘Tomorrow morning, Vice President will visit Chairman’s office. Clear the schedule.’
Wiing, Wiing.
Was it because of the past experience of being grilled by the secretaries in the Chairman’s office? Despite the late hour, the chat room was heated up.
In the afternoon, when the bright midday sun was pouring in, the furniture and props in the large office shone with reflected light.
Among them, the most shining was the black nameplate made of motherofpearl. Engraved in the center of the huge nameplate, as large as the office, were the characters ‘Chief of Circuit Business Division, Yoon Myung Ok’.
Tock, Tock.
The woman behind the nameplate was tapping the desk with her long pearlcolored nails, looking at the man in front of her with disdain.
“So…… You should have managed your family well, Mr. Kim. What is this arrogance, it’s embarrassing in today’s world.”
“I didn’t know things would turn out like this. It’s all because the Vice President was on that plane…….”
Kim, the director, trailed off and stroked his balding head. Now that he had stepped on the tail of the Vice President, pride was not an issue.
Some time ago, Air Korea replaced all the tableware and consumables used on board. During that process, the selection of a company was conducted, and Director Kim used his influence to get his brother’s company selected.
The company is registered under the name of Je Su, and the contract is not that big.
Thinking it was a matter that no one would know or care about, he had let his guard down, but his talkative brother had messed things up.
“Do you think Vice President Cha Tae Sang will hold onto this issue?”
“Of course he will.”
“Can’t you just explain things more clearly? If the director tells us to cover it up……”
“Huh, haha! So if I tell you to cover it up, you will? Mr. Kim, do you really think so? That guy would listen to me?”
Myeong Ok nonchalantly referred to Tae Sang as ‘that guy’. Despite not having a drop of blood relation between them, there was an inexplicable sense of hostility.
“Please stop saying things like that and help us out. In effect, it’s like we’re on the same boat……”
“Look here, Mr. Kim Ki Ju.”
Myeong Ok sharply narrowed her eyes and cut him off. Her tone was so firm it was as if she was drawing a line in the sand.
“I simply relayed some messages and laid out a bridge for you, how does that equate to us being on the same boat? Did my little brother make a lot of money?”
“I’m, I’m sorry. I just got carried away…… I didn’t express myself appropriately.”
“The brother and his sibling, huh.”
Mumbling as if talking to herself, Myeong Ok then continued with a calm voice.
“Well…… There won’t be any problem on paper, so don’t worry. It’s not like you, Mr. Kim, are running the company personally.”
“Don’t you know very well that if anyone digs a little, they’ll find my name? I think we should call in the purchasing manager first and align our stories……”
“Well, the purchasing manager is quite a tough nut to crack……”
Myeong Ok leaned back in her chair, fiddling with her fingernails. Her relaxed demeanor made her seem like someone enjoying afternoon tea.
In a moment, a fierce flame sparked in Mr. Kim’s eyes.
“……You really shouldn’t say things like this.”
“What have I done?”
“I’ve already divided up as much as I can, and now you’re causing problems.”
“Are you threatening me now? How dare you?”
“Yes, I’m threatening you, the great Director Yoon Myeong Ok. Huh, people used to say it’s a miracle or something when you made it this far…… but it turns out you got here this way?”
The miracle of the dirt spoon. That’s what people were saying about Myeong Ok, who started as an ordinary employee and climbed her way to the top of the power hierarchy.
She joined Air Korea at the top of her class and was the youngest to be promoted to assistant manager. First, best, these descriptors naturally became associated with her and her ambition grew alongside them.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
