Last week, on a particularly busy day preparing for a press conference.
A call came from Assistant Manager Kim of the M&A team. The final version of the merger plan was completed, and he had left it on the desk.
Secretary Kim hurriedly returned to the office. In the empty office, Assistant Manager Song greeted him with a bright smile.
“Assistant Manager Kim has already left.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“I have some documents to deliver to the PR team. I’ll be right back.”
With a thick stack of documents in her hand, she left the office. Sitting at the desk, Secretary Kim examined the plan.
“No, this person…”
The materials he had prepared as the final version had been loudly rejected by Taesang a while ago. It seemed like he had mistakenly handed over the wrong file.
Sure enough, his phone began to ring incessantly.
“Secretary Kim, I’m sorry. I think I accidentally left a different document. Can you just send it via email? I’ll print it from here.”
Having received the documents, Secretary Kim quickly printed the plan. There wasn’t much time left until Taesang returned from the meeting.
He picked up the stack of printed papers with one hand.
Assistant Manager Kim’s eyes strangely twisted as he looked at the first page.
The white paper was filled with what seemed like conclusive statements and reference materials. The content was quite familiar.
“What is this…?”
Secretary Kim unfolded the plan that Assistant Manager Kim had left behind. The last page that came into her hands matched the first page she had picked up.
There was only one possibility for such an event to occur. Secretary Song had copied the plan while she was absent.
In a hurry, she couldn’t even properly take care of the last page.
She threw the documents on the desk as if tossing them and rushed out into the corridor.
Doing secret copying without saying a word. Whatever she was up to, it was undoubtedly not a good intention. The copied version had to be retrieved.
Secretary Kim pressed the elevator button in a hurry. Although the likelihood of a lie was high, for now, she had no choice but to go to the PR team.
At that moment.
The elevator doors opened, revealing Assistant Manager Song in between. Her hands were already empty; she had already handed over the files somewhere.
“Secretary Kim, where are you going?”
“Nowhere.”
She nodded vaguely and returned to the office. The words questioning what she had done almost escaped her throat.
But it would be troublesome if she rushed to question and got caught.
Secretary Kim suppressed the words she wanted to say and waited for Taesang to come. Surprisingly, Taesang, upon hearing the story, had a calm reaction.
“Isolate her.”
“What?”
“If she’s excluded from work, she won’t be able to stand the anxiety. Without complaining to her master, she won’t be able to breathe.”
Certainly, someone inside this company would return to her sooner or later. In an emotionally shaken state. Then, someone else would soon be shaken along with her.
Taesang just had to wait.
And indeed.
“How about delaying the press conference since it seems that the public sentiment is not favorable?”
Some time later, Myeongok awkwardly entered the office with a forced smile. Her eyes, swaying as if searching for something within, seemed restless and uneasy.
Taesang stared at her face intently. The time had come to put an end to this tiresome fight.
“No, we proceed as scheduled.”
There was no stopping now. Regardless of the fight and how it had come about, he intended to bring it to an end this time.
The hotel banquet hall overlooking Namsan Mountain.
Soon, the press conference for the merger between Air Korea and Hansung Airlines was about to begin in the Mercury Hall.
Taesang, dressed neatly in a black suit, revealed himself. The sleek black silhouette was like a black jaguar. He sat down, his agile eyes shining brightly.
“I am Chairman Cha Taesang.”
It was a concise introduction. He calmly scanned the hall with his eyes. It was a passing glance, but it had a substantial presence that overwhelmed the audience.
A little later, a man following Taesang stepped forward to the microphone.
“Hello. I am Kim Chanho, Director of the media team responsible for public relations. Thank you to the journalists who have come a long way. Let’s start today’s press conference. First, we’ll have a greeting from Vice Chairman Cha Taesang.”
He turned his head towards Taesang, naturally passing the speaking rights.
“There have been many questions about the acquisition of Hansung Airlines. I hope this gathering today can provide some answers.”
As soon as Taesang finished speaking, the sound of typing echoed like bullets. Thanks to the exposé article this morning, the journalists were more passionate than usual in attending the conference.
Director Kim unfolded a prepared briefing, defending against the anticipated questions.
Slides containing basic information such as this year’s management plan and Hansung Airlines’ performance were presented one by one.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
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…
