As he widened his strides, Dajeong, surprised, took a breath. Taesang kicked the bedroom door open with his foot and entered.
Very gently, he laid Dajeong on the bed. The sheet flared up as Dajeong sank softly into it. Taesang slowly raised his head.
Darkness settled over the round forehead, the red dress wrapped around the pale skin like a fist.
The more he looked, the more it felt like his heart would burst, yet strangely, he didn’t want to end this pain quickly. Taesang moved slowly, pressing his lips to Dajeong’s forehead.
“Han Dajeong.”
Her heavy eyelids slowly lifted.
“Let’s not fall apart again.”
Dajeong quietly met his gaze and nodded slightly.
The rounded brown eyes were so lovely that Taesang couldn’t resist and pressed his lips above the eye crease.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
A Korean cuisine specialty restaurant located in Pyeongchang-dong.
The detached house with a luxurious exterior overlooked a small garden. It was separated from the main building, making it suitable for ensuring privacy.
Myeongok silently watched the neat dishes being served. This place was chosen because the chairman liked the abalone sauce.
I can’t remember what my favorite food is. She chuckled and looked outside.
There was no sign of the waitstaff being popular.
“What happened? Did you meet her?”
“Well… that’s…”
“Kim Director.”
Myeongok called him without hesitation. In fact, he had been fired a long time ago, but Myeongok had no intention of calling him differently.
Kim Director, who had been diverting business to his younger brother’s company and was caught by Taesang, was officially dismissed last month.
It was a day when I lost Kim Director, an ally, and Taesang met the woman he would marry, marking the beginning of the actual transfer of management rights.
If possible, Myeongok wanted to go back to that day and change everything.
“I met all the major shareholders on the list you gave me… They are still hesitant. Probably because Chairman Cha’s influence is so significant, they are reluctant to participate willingly.”
“Whenever I turn on the internet, it’s in chaos with talks about Cha Taesang… I wonder what they are thinking….”
Myeongok had been secretly in contact with the major shareholders through Kim Director for some time.
The goal was clear: a change in the board of directors.
The current board was what they called the ‘Taesang-centric regime,’ carefully selected by Chairman Cha, consisting only of people who would be assets to Taesang.
They would welcome anything Taesang did with open arms, and Myeongok did not like such a board. Moreover, it included people from Taesang’s late mother’s family.
They would be of no help to Subin in the future. Myeongok had to remove them and move on at this opportunity.
“There’s nothing we can do.”
She took out a light envelope from her bag. Kim Director pulled out a few sheets of paper from it with a puzzled expression.
“Is this… Hwaseong MulSan’s share structure?”
A graph that looked like a big pie cut into pieces.
Secretary Kim looked at Myeongok with a slightly raised eyebrow. There was no need to bring out a familiar picture here.
“That’s right. And this is a list of major shareholders who have not officially participated in a shareholders’ meeting yet.”
She pointed somewhere on the list with her long fingernail.
Written there was ‘Edward Lee, ownership rate 1%.’
“Edward… Lee? Who is this?”
“He’s on our side, a friendly shareholder.”
If she declared her influence under her own name, Chairman Cha would quickly counteract it. Therefore, Myeongok has been purchasing stocks through foreign fund companies for a long time.
There were many times when she had to dip into the reserve funds due to a lack of capital, but she overcame every crisis and succeeded in establishing such a significant influence.
“And Hanyoung Bio and NU Airlines are also hidden parts of our influence.”
The companies she mentioned held 1% and 1.5% ownership shares, respectively, according to the circular graph. Director Kim looked at her with a surprised face.
He knew about her good management skills and the quick disposal of her deceased husband’s assets, but he didn’t expect her to secure such favorable shares.
He quickly calculated in his head.
Adding up all of Subin’s hidden shares, comparing them with Taesang’s shares… Surely Taesang still had the upper hand.
However, if things continued like this in the future, the conversation could change.
“Do you understand what I’m saying? Su Bin can try this. Moreover, what about the owner’s risk? How much has Taesang been talked about in the media? If the stock price shakes, it’s only a matter of time before Taesang’s support base weakens, isn’t it?”
With a content smile, Myeongok took a sip of water. Whenever she imagined Taesang falling and Subin taking the top of the group, her mouth always twitched like this.
“Well, this would definitely help persuade. I’ll meet you again.”
“Yes, you should.”
Myeongok glanced over the table with a noticeably lightened face. Thanks to the pleasant imagination, even her appetite, which had been absent, seemed to be returning.
She picked up a piece of abalone sauce, well-seasoned and well-prepared.
“Um, but…”
Kim Director, who was wiping his hands with a towel, opened his mouth as if he had something to say. Myeongok gently smiled, fishing for his follow-up remarks.
“You know, you know. Once this matter is settled, there won’t be any problem with rehiring. A lot of people would be in big trouble with just one word from me.”
It was a kind smile that wasn’t characteristic of her.
