A week after the collapse at the construction site, Woo Yeon found herself dozing off in a cafe near the broadcasting station.
“Really, go home today, won’t you?” The familiar voice of Yeom Reporter, from across the table, woke her up.
Woo Yeon opened her eyes and looked at him. It was somewhat comforting to see that she wasn’t the only one who looked worn out after a week.
“How did you know I was here?”
“Your whereabouts are predictable.”
“That’s why I find reporters the scariest.”
At that, Yeom Reporter took a big sip of the coffee he had just brought from the counter.
He scratched his nose, feeling sorry for the sight of Woo Yeon. He appreciated her dedication, but that very dedication had become a weapon that earned her enmity from others.
“What? Did someone say something to you again?”
“No, just tired.”
“Just tired, huh.”
In the broadcasting station, everyone appears to be a part of one group, but up close, everyone is a competitor.
Whether they are seniors, peers, or juniors, everyone is envious of Woo Yeon. Her rapid rise to anchor the flagship program and gaining Director Song’s trust was enough reason for envy.
Yeom Reporter looked at Woo Yeon’s notebook filled with her study notes and quipped, “Studying again in the midst of all this?”
“You have to fill up to empty out.”
“What?”
“I mean, studying is the only thing that clears my mind.”
“Always so impressive. Want me to order another coffee?”
“Yes.”
“A hot one, right?”
Woo Yeon nodded. She usually avoids cold drinks due to her naturally cold constitution, which often makes it inconvenient, especially in the summer when she has to drink hot coffee.
She appreciated Yeom Reporter’s consideration, knowing it was just a part of his professional memory as a reporter.
She thanked him for the extra cup of hot coffee he brought over.
Yeom Reporter, who was over forty and divorced two years ago, was famous as a workaholic in the newsroom. His hardworking and diligent nature appealed to Woo Yeon, although she didn’t know much about his divorce except the fact that it happened.
“How are things with Jungum Construction?”
“As expected, it’s pretty bad. Looks like the head office is trying to wrap it up.”
“So, the chairman apologizes, but the underlings take the fall?”
“Yep. It’s not surprising anymore.”
“This can’t just be swept under the rug.”
Agreeing with her, Yeom Reporter nodded.
“I’ll call you if I find something.”
“Okay.”
“See you later.”
“Go ahead.”
After he left, Woo Yeon opened her laptop, habitually checking the latest articles and drafting the news script for that day’s live broadcast.
Then, she impulsively searched for his name on a portal site.
[Cha Tae Kyung]All the articles were up to date until yesterday.
There was a regular shareholders’ meeting for Brighton Aviation, an official announcement of his inauguration, and he was also listed in yesterday’s official events for the Myungsan family.
‘I’m the owner of the Wedding Tower, so if you want to broadcast that, you can.’
‘But then, Woo Yeon, you have to make a good impression on me.’
‘I invited you to the hotel because, from the beginning, I wanted to stir your heart.’
‘Were you well stirred?’
Very well stirred, indeed.
Despite repeatedly pushing him away, the fact that Cha Tae Kyung’s words still stirred her everyday life meant his strategy had succeeded. She didn’t want to admit defeat, but she could no longer deny that her heart leaned towards the path Cha Tae Kyung walked.
Would she meet him if she went to the Wedding Tower? Could she use the excuse of wanting to broadcast that news, and perhaps, this time, it was her turn to stir things up? If he hasn’t yet left her turf.
Woo Yeon gathered her laptop and bag and stood up.
In front of a mansion in Seongbuk-dong, Tae Kyung got into Han Manager’s car.
He had been held up for nearly four hours at the mansion due to a lunch appointment and his uncle, Cha Woo Kang’s insistence.
“Chairman, would you like to go straight to the hotel if you’re tired?” Han Manager asked with concern.
Tae Kyung shook his head. “No, let’s go to the Wedding Tower.”
“Why did you just listen quietly?” Only Han Manager, who knew Tae Kyung’s character best, could ask such a question. Tae Kyung curled his lips at that.
To Cha Woo Kang, Tae Kyung was like an unwelcome stone that had suddenly rolled in. Seen as a contemptible nephew whose blood was dirty, and now suddenly declaring to join the battle for management rights, it was natural for him to be burning inside.
“It’s interesting,” Tae Kyung said.
“…”
“Getting angry and treating me like trash because they know they’ll lose.”
Han Manager didn’t ask anything further.
The succession race in Myungsan was now narrowed down to Cha Woo Kang and Cha Tae Kyung.
It seemed like a fight between Cha Woo Kang’s direct line and the collateral family supporting Tae Kyung. Strictly speaking, Tae Kyung belonged to the direct line, but they had rejected his mother from the beginning.
Tae Kyung wanted to place himself at the pinnacle of Myungsan.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!

*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
