“Came? Good. Let’s exchange greetings and leave.”
Eunsoo, who had just followed, looked at the two alternately. Solhee grinned, raising the corners of her mouth.
“How come you’re here? I didn’t know the senior was here.”
Then, before Gyuwoo could answer, he looked down at the phone he was holding in one hand and let out a big sigh.
“Hey, I got a call from the broadcasting station. Just escaped, but I have to go back in.”
“What? You’re going back as soon as you came?”
“Yeah, sorry. I’ll contact you later.”
As Solhee was about to turn around after giving Gyuwoo a brief eye greeting, Gyuwoo spoke.
“Is it an urgent call?”
“Yeah, a bit.”
“Then, ride my car. I’ll take you. I’m going in that direction anyway.”
With a light gesture, pointing to the car right in front, Gyuwoo greeted Eunsoo briefly.
“I’m going. If Juhan comes in, show him around once more.”
“Sure. Solhee, be careful.”
“Oh, yeah.”
Unexpectedly, Solhee, who had gotten out of the taxi less than three minutes ago, shook hands with Eunsoo after getting into Gyuwoo’s car. Finding the situation somewhat amusing, Eunsoo chuckled and watched Gyuwoo’s car move away for a while before going inside.
While checking meticulously for additional adjustments needed for furniture around the showroom, an unexpected person opened the door of Vida and walked in.
“Welcome… ”
Eunsoo, who heard the bright voice of Jaelim being cut off, unconsciously turned around. Seeing Jang Hyunman entering with a fist bump and his characteristic light steps, Eunsoo’s expression stiffened.
“Long time no see. How have you been?”
The smile that Jaelim regained when greeting guests was no different from when dealing with customers. Jang Hyunman also flashed a friendly-looking smile.
“Nothing special. I just happened to pass by and thought about stopping by. Oh, the atmosphere has changed a lot here, too?”
Looking around this way and that, Jang Hyunman started examining various things.
“Oh, so products are coming in like this. Huh, is this really the ‘Pin Lee’ armchair? How did you manage to get something like this again?”
“It puts my mind at ease to see many things that seem to be fine in the president’s eyes.”
Jang Hyunman, who was a little away, turned to look at Eunsoo who was following him. He showed a slightly malicious smile.
“I heard there’s a lot of rumors about appearing on a broadcast. What kind of show is it?”
With this much rumor, it seemed useless to deny it. Eunsoo smiled somewhat awkwardly.
“I am indeed appearing on a broadcast, but it’s difficult to explain in detail because the embargo hasn’t been lifted yet. You’ll see soon.”
Jang Hyunman, who stared at Eunsoo intently, shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, it’s not good to attract attention with something unrelated to furniture.”
At the unique tone and old-fashioned expression, it felt like going back two years all of a sudden.
The moment I saw his distinctive vulgar tone and old-fashioned expression, it felt like I had suddenly gone back two years.
It was when Eunsoo had just entered Vida and worked together with Jang Hyunman, who was the team leader at the time, for a few months. He used to pick on employees, even the new CEO Juhan, with nothing but bullying remarks.
Especially towards Eunsoo, from the beginning, it seemed like he had decided to dislike everything about Juhan, starting from his unfamiliarity. He didn’t even say a single good word, going so far as to call her the most easily ignored ‘young woman’ according to his standards, making her constantly irritated.
Meeting the department head at the place where he had suffered before, Jang, who was a lunatic, was a person who made Eunsoo realize the so-called law of mass preservation of lunatics, that there is always one lunatic no matter where you go.
Now, what’s the point of fighting with this person? Yeah, when a person suddenly changes, it’s time to die.
Eunsoo was about to give a vague positive response, but Jang Hyunman deliberately crossed the line.
“Kim Kyunghoon didn’t establish this place for that purpose, you know? Huh? You should stick to the essence no matter what. Young people shouldn’t be like this. Surface pretenses are too loud.”
Is he staking Kim Kyunghoon’s reputation on this? Isn’t he exaggerating a bit?
“You, who know so well…”
“What did you say?”
After hearing Eunsoo’s muttered words through clenched teeth, Jang Hyunman’s eyes became menacing. Eunsoo just smiled as if it was nothing.
“Thank you for your kind words from someone who knows so well.”
He knew Kim Kyunghoon’s mindset from the interview. Jang Hyunman also knew that he was a person who only superficially respected that intention. He also ignored him as someone who only respected Kim Kyunghoon from behind and couldn’t make money.
“Mr. Seon Eunsoo, you were a manager and became so arrogant.”
“Me?”
“It shouldn’t be like that to me.”
What are you saying? Suppressing his internal frustration, Eunsoo said with the same smile he had fixed his mouth to.
“Next time, we’ll visit together. When the CEO comes back from his business trip.”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
