Chairman Cha stood up with a hearty laugh still on his face. At this, the people who had been gathered around him in a circle also left one by one.
Left alone, Myeong Ok glared coldly at the empty stage.
What on earth did they do to improve?
Contrary to the expectation that he would wipe his hand sweating from eating, Tae Sang’s demeanor was unexpectedly calm.
‘I don’t know how such luck followed him……’
It’s unfair that Tae Sang, who was born with everything from the beginning, keeps on prospering like this.
I didn’t know what he did, but I couldn’t just stand by and watch. I had to stop him from standing tall alone as the face of the group.
Myung Ok abruptly stood up from her seat. As she was exiting the hall, she was making a phone call, and a young man’s voice flowed out of the mobile phone.
“Yes. Hello……”
“Is the article preparation going well?”
She sharply interrupted his words.
“Chief Yoon?”
“Is the next article ready?”
“No, what do you mean by article?”
“What did you say?”
“You said something big was going to explode today. You loudly told the desk to keep the main spot empty, but what is this?”
“That’s unfortunate. But with just the source I provide…”
“Chief, that source… it should be a good source with some evidence, full of pictures, something that can captivate people. You can’t write an article with just this and that.”
“Ha. I understand what you’re saying. Don’t worry, I’ll pay you double the fee from last time.”
Myung Ok furrowed her eyebrows as she spoke.
“No, what are you hearing… because of the article I wrote last time, I’m getting a lot of abuse. They say I’m a gossip journalist who just moves unfounded rumors.”
“It’s not unfounded, okay? And other newspapers are going to start posting articles one by one…!”
“Enough. I thought there was a part of you I could trust… the article that went up first will be taken down soon, so know that.”
“No, reporter Kim, wait a moment. Hello?”
The call ended after that. Myung Ok kept opening her mouth as if she couldn’t believe the call had ended.
“Ha, now everything is so…”
Her hand clutching the mobile phone was trembling.
I tried to lay a solid foundation before Subin came in, but Chairman Cha and Tae Sang, like one body, were turning his son’s life into a gravel yard.
Myung Ok let out a long sigh and picked up her mobile phone again.
Although it was something she wanted to avoid as much as possible, her face was full of hesitation.
After a while, a forced bright voice came from her mouth.
“Oh, Subin. It’s mom. Have you been well, my son?”
After finishing a meal with Minister Kim and heading to the headquarters, Tae Sang was traveling in a car with Chairman Cha.
“There will be a lot of fuss due to the acquisition of Hansung Airlines. It won’t hurt to familiarize ourselves with the Ministry of National Transportation officials.”
Suddenly, Chairman Cha, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth.
“Yes.”
“Ultimately, a company is run by people. Both inside and outside, we need to fill our surroundings well.”
“I will try my best.”
Tae Sang spoke plainly and bowed his head slightly.
“Speaking of which…”
“I have none.”
“What?”
“There’s no one to fill in, sir.”
Tae Sang, who knew his conversation style well, firmly spat out his words.
The previously calm atmosphere inside the car suddenly turned chilly.
Director Yoon glanced at the back seat reflected in the rearview mirror. The look of Chairman Cha, who seemed to say ‘Let’s see how it goes’, filled the small mirror.
In the confined car with nowhere to run, he shrank his neck like a hedgehog. It was woefully inadequate to avoid the chairman’s gaze while trying to erase his presence.
“Director Yoon.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“Give me that.”
“Yes.”
It was obvious what he was talking about, even without mentioning it. Director Yoon swiftly took out a tablet PC from his briefcase.
On the screen was the news article he had hinted at when they were leaving the restaurant. With a grim expression, Chairman Cha quickly scanned the screen and thrust the device in front of Tae Sang.
“Look at this. This is your current reputation. It’s not enough with just rumors within the company, but even on the internet.”
‘Executive A, is it discrimination or avoidance of women?’
‘Chaebol 3rd generation who refused the soninlaw position in a firstclass company, is his real marriage target a man?’
Below the provocative headline, more sensational rumors were spread out.
Tae Sang read the article with slow eyes and lightly covered the screen. There was no sign of anger on his face.
“I see.”
“I see? You’re saying that to your grandfather…!”
Tae Sang’s placid demeanor felt like his blood was flowing backward. But even though his face turned red for a moment, Chairman Cha quickly regained his composure.
Tae Sang was no longer the person who used to keep women at a distance. The secret rendezvous of his grandson was clear proof that he had changed.
“Hmm. I can’t stand to see these ridiculous articles anymore. Stop dragging your feet and set a date for next month. I’ve already finished talking with the chairman of Hyunjin Group. Their second child, Lee Seo Hyun. You know her well, right?”
“The secretaries will have a hard time. They set a wedding date, then cancel it. Then set it again, then cancel it again.”
“Do you mean you’re going to mess it up this time too?”
“Can’t a person who’s screwed up once screw up twice?”
Chairman Cha opened his mouth calmly, suppressing his boiling emotions.
“Show me if you dare. More than thirty potential brides have come in front of you, Tae Sang.”
“……”
“The blow has finally landed. Now Tae Sang has deep wrinkles on his forehead.”
“The next one is the youngest of Il Sung Group, and after that is the eldest daughter of Congressman Kim Hyuk Joo. And then… Director Yoon, who was the next one?”
“Ah, yes… Oh, the daughter of Song Myung Soo, the president of Hanil Bio…”
Director Yoon was quick to participate in the listmaking for the nonexistent granddaughtersinlaw.
“Ah, yes. President Song said that. His eldest daughter has a calm personality, she will get along well with you.”
“Grandfather.”
Tae Sang applied the brakes with a low voice. But Chairman Cha did not care and responded with an even more intense look.
“This time, I’m serious. After I’m gone, Tae Sang, you’ll even look at some woman, I bet. So, stop talking and do as your grandfather wishes.”
“….”
At the unexpected final blow, Tae Sang was lost for words.
Tae Sang had lost his parents at a young age and was raised by Chairman Cha. Outwardly, he was as blunt as could be, but deep inside he held an unconditional affection and respect for Chairman Cha.
Chairman Cha decided to use Tae Sang’s heart just this once.
“The wedding is at the end of next month. Keep that in mind.”
Like locking the latch of the conversation, Chairman Cha completely turned his body and sat facing forward.
Just then, the car gently stopped at the red light. He was staring at the people crossing left and right, and his throat was dry.
Was this another failure? Was the information from Secretary Kim just an exaggeration?
Lost in such thoughts, the voice of Tae Sang, full of determination, flowed into his ear.
“I will do as my grandfather wishes.”
He glanced at Tae Sang, only raising the ends of his eyebrows. It was still too early to give up his superior attitude.
“That’s right. It should be so.”
“But… I will bring the bride.”
A soft smile appeared on the corner of Chairman Cha’s mouth.
