Oh, no, why are you wearing such casual clothes?
Seeing the welcoming expression on his face as he walked out, Hyeju was slightly taken aback.
Isn’t this atmosphere too different from what I expected?
“You’ve worked hard coming by boat. The wind is blowing nicely, so come on in.”
With a slightly bewildered expression, Hyeju entered the house.
When Mr. Lee Bo-seok appeared with a welcoming expression, she slightly hesitated.
Isn’t this too different from what I expected, even though it’s a serious matter?
“Please come in. I have prepared a feast.”
Looking at the table full of dishes, Hyeju felt her throat tighten as if about to cry.
“Sir, I came to apologize and bring some apples…”
“What apology is there? You’ve been through a lot, Manager Oh. First, let’s have a meal.”
In the house, the brothers, Geumseok, Eunseok, and Dongseok, were all gathered. Each of them had a comfortable face.
No matter what, when you’ve lost your ideas to a competitor, can you be this calm?
Hyeju’s question was soon answered.
“The young CEO is surprisingly seasoned. Thanks to him, we’ve had several meetings that we’ve never had before.”
Bo-seok showed Hyeju the emails Juwon had been sending regularly.
Inside, there was a wealth of information about Yangji Foods’ frozen pollack, the scheduled release date of the new product, and an analysis of the expected future sales.
“It seems they even got the packaging design of the unreleased new product. Anyway, what an impressive young man.”
Hearing about Yangji Foods’ plans for the new product using the stolen idea, Bo-seok and the three brothers were initially quite upset.
There were voices suggesting immediately terminating the contract, questioning how to manage employees who bring such trouble.
However, Juwon consistently persuaded Bo-seok.
When proposing the Honbab Kim, there was a time when it was suggested that the product would fail sooner or later, but Bo-seok was unyielding.
His change of mind came after seeing the ‘Ddukdak Kim packaging design’ that Juwon sent.
“Who in the world would make such excessive packaging? President Park, that old man, seems to be out of touch with the times. Tsk, tsk.”
Sure enough, in no time, Ddukdak Kim, which became an icon of excessive packaging, was receiving lively criticism.
Comments ridiculing the waste of resources just to package a mere five sheets of seaweed, and one netizen even opened an entire pack, showing a trash can filled with packaging compared to the small amount of seaweed.
Not even a day after its release, Ddukdak Kim, which became an icon of excessive packaging, tarnished Yangji Foods’ reputation.
The misfortune that befell Yangji Foods, a major player in the domestic seaweed manufacturing industry, turned into good luck for Taeyang Foods.
“President Park, that old man, claimed to have a firm grip on domestic sales, but he should wake up now. It seems that the ten-year-old stubbornness is finally wearing off. Keke!”
Seeing the satisfied appearance of Bo-seok, who seemed to have removed a thorn, Hyeju wiped her chest.
She had prepared herself to hear complaints throughout her visit to Sinwoldo, but it turned out to be an opportunity in adversity.
‘Indeed, my older brother had a plan all along.’
It was a moment when she was admiring my man’s capabilities.
‘Wait a minute! If he was preparing so thoroughly, why didn’t he tell me all this?’
Suddenly, the content of the conversation between Siberia’s CEO and Juwon came to mind.
That woman who said she got a flat tire, the last time.
Come to think of it, in a regular company, details like the release date and packaging design of a new product are usually kept secret until the release date.
But how did Gang Juwon get all that information?
‘Gang Juwon, have you been in contact with that woman without my knowledge? Like some kind of Casanova…!’
Was it just contact? He must have showered her with all sorts of sweet words!
‘Last time I saw him, he was quite adept at charming women. How on earth did a woman who can send shivers down your spine with just her voice provide all kinds of information?’
In the end, it must be information obtained from that woman, so he thoroughly kept it hidden from Hyeju.
When rational suspicion turned into certainty, Hyeju began to doubt Kang Juwon’s innocence and sincerity.
‘I’m his first woman, and yet why is he so skilled? He says he’s never even dated a girl before. He’s just pretending to be innocent!’
“Are you two dating?”
“Cough! Cough!”
At the sudden question from Bo-seok, Hyeju almost spit out the seaweed she had in her mouth.
After swallowing a mouthful of water, Hyeju asked with a flushed face, “Why are you suddenly saying that?”
“It’s not a mistake on Manager Oh’s part. Every time he sent emails, he emphasized it so much that it became memorable. If you can’t notice even after seeing that, you should immediately quit your job.”
With a smile that seemed to say he knew everything, Bo-seok added meaningfully, “A good man, hold on tightly.”
In a meaningful tone, Bo-seok continued, “Ah, our Ruby also needs to meet a man as good as you.”
Hyeju felt a pang of conscience.
Incompetent O Chuntaek. Not only do you make me feel embarrassed, but you also make me feel guilty.
Useless, more useless than a flyswatter.
“Miss Ruby will meet a good man too. It’s just that good people tend to be around other good people.”
“Our Ruby, did she break up with that loser?”
Bo-seok, who understood what was said implicitly, reflected.
“I can’t say. Ask Ruby directly about that later.”
“Don’t beat around the bush. Did she break up with that stick-like scoundrel?”
“I’m a person who finds it hard to speak.”
“It won’t work. Hey, Dungseok! Bring some 30-year-old wild ginseng liquor!”
Then, an attack of alcohol began to open Hyeju’s mouth.
Why does the more I drink, the lighter my tongue becomes? Truly a strange saying about wild ginseng.
[Star icon]After going back and forth, the belly had been cut off before anyone knew it.
Having briefly fallen asleep in Ruby’s room offered by Bo-seok, Hyeju went out to the beach alone around midnight.
“The wind feels nice.”
The deserted beach was calm and beautiful.
The moonlight flowing through the clouds partially covering the sky made the wet waves quiet, and the sound of the waves coming in rhythmically was gentle.
Hyeju sat down, curled up, and absentmindedly looked up at the sky.
She must have had just the right amount of alcohol, her heart must have been light, and there couldn’t be a more peaceful moment than this.
After enjoying the sea breeze for a while, footsteps were heard in Hyeju’s ears.
‘Who could it be at this hour?’
Without thinking, she turned around and saw a silhouette walking down under the streetlight in the distance.
No matter how long the streetlight was, it wouldn’t be easy to get proportions like that. Is there another man on this small island who has proportions rivaling Kang Juwon?
As she absentmindedly stared, he brushed off the sand on his pants and looked in her direction.
‘It’s Kang Juwon!’
Whether it was a dream or reality, before pinching her cheek, her body rose involuntarily.
“Oppa!”
Hyeju started running towards him without even wearing her slippers. The night breeze carried the wet sand, crunching beneath her square-shaped footsteps.
Having reached him after a while, Hyeju asked in bewilderment, “Is it really Kang Juwon? Am I dreaming right now?”
With lips resembling the sea breeze, he smiled brightly.
“Check for yourself.”
Into his arms, spread wide open, Hyeju jumped.
