The new product from the competitor was released earlier than expected.
The company in question was “(주)양지푸드,” a company that recently collaborated with Siberia for research.
Yangji Food, in competition with Taeyang Food, was the leading player in the domestic seaweed market. However, for about a decade, its export performance had been overshadowed by Taeyang Food, making it relatively inferior in overall scale.
Today, after the release of ‘뚝딱김’ by Yangji Food, DataS Korea was thrown into confusion.
“Isn’t this the project we were preparing with Taeyang Food?”
“That’s right! It’s the same, targeting solo diners with five sheets per pack. It seems like information leaked from somewhere.”
The confusion of employees unfamiliar with English erupted here and there.
Amidst the chaotic atmosphere, the only one maintaining composure was Kang Juwon, who orchestrated this entire situation.
“The atmosphere seems to have ripened appropriately.”
News of the ‘뚝딱김’ launch had been spreading throughout the company since the morning through the promotion team.
Juwon deliberately allowed the employees to make noise throughout the morning.
If he were to resolve everything in his own way, the employees wouldn’t know the seriousness of the situation.
“If they don’t know the seriousness, people might say unjust things when I dismiss Cheondahui because of this incident.”
To handle the noiseless treatment, a certain level of confusion had to be tolerated.
At noon, Yangji Food officially distributed the first press release.
Juwon, who had been waiting for the report in the representative’s office, slowly rose like a predatory animal.
“Shall I start hunting slowly?”
He immediately called for a meeting.
The business team, marketing team, and executives related to this matter filled the meeting room.
When Dahee, who entered last, was nervously biting her nails, Juwon smiled with a bitter expression.
“It seems my grave has come.”
Juwon glanced at her with a sly smile as their eyes met in mid-air.
When their eyes met unexpectedly, she hurriedly lowered her head.
Juwon actually found this situation incredibly enjoyable, but outwardly, he maintained a solemn expression and began speaking.
“I think everyone knows why I called this emergency meeting.”
Sitting on a high desk, he looked around the room.
“Let me briefly summarize. Today, Yangji Food has released ‘뚝딱김.’ It’s a new product developed by the collaboration between Taeyang Food and our marketing team, and it was released just a month before the scheduled launch.”
“As if the story about that wasn’t enough, the entire company is in an uproar. How on earth did this leak out?”
“Information leaking during the project is not uncommon. It’s commonly known as industrial espionage.”
His gaze fixed on Dahee’s forehead.
With an overt gaze, Dahee quickly averted her eyes.
“As far as I know, this matter was discussed in a joint meeting of the business team and the marketing team. Is that correct?”
“Yes.”
The answer was given by Team Leader Wook.
“The total number of participants in the meeting is thirteen. It’s not a difficult number.”
If this gets exposed, a lot will be lost, but courage is virtual.
At the ambiguous remark, Dahee’s complexion turned pale.
No one dared to speak out, as stepping forward hastily would likely result in being labeled as the culprit.
“Excuse me, sir.”
In the silent meeting room, Myeonghwa quietly raised her hand.
“Isn’t there no guarantee that the information leaked from that meeting? There could be a possibility that the ideas coincidentally overlapped.”
“Recently, we received important information from Siberia.”
At the mention of Siberia, Dahee’s shoulders twitched.
Juwon spoke slowly, as if testing the reaction before biting into the prey’s neck.
“One of our employees seems to have interviewed there.”
“Oh, really?”
Everyone began expressing surprise with their facial expressions.
To avoid being caught as the culprit, Dahee forced herself to keep her eyes wide open.
However, she couldn’t ignore the words of Team Leader Wook, who nudged her side.
“Dahee, isn’t it you?”
“W-What are you talking about?”
“I saw it briefly when the monitor broke! I clearly saw an email about Siberia or something!”
Although it was a shaky voice, due to Team Leader Wook’s loud tone, the attention of the people around was completely focused.
Facing an unexpected team kill, Dahee’s eyes shot daggers.
“It was an advertisement email! Don’t spread false information as if it’s a confirmed fact! Maybe Team Leader Wook has some personal issues!”
“What are you talking about! I’m determined to bury my bones in this company!”
“Don’t accuse someone as the culprit without certainty. It’s unpleasant!”
The one who mediated their fight was a quiet hand raised by Hyeju in front of the laptop.
“If it’s true that ideas were leaked from that meeting, what will happen?”
“If it comes to a recommendation to resign, it would be a lenient punishment. If the company decides to file a lawsuit, could an individual bear the responsibility?”

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
