Early afternoon at Yulgyu Law Firm.
With a fluttering heart, Hee-wook stepped into the corridor and checked his reflection in the glass wall.
“Is my outfit okay? Do I look smart?”
While Hee-wook was busy adjusting his hair and trying various expressions in front of the glass, Hyun-ji approached him.
“Yang Attorney, are you also heading to Meeting Room A?”
“Choi Attorney too?”
“Yes. I wonder what this is all about?”
Hyun-ji asked in her bright voice.
It seemed Lawyer Lee Chan-il hadn’t given Hyun-ji a proper heads-up. Hee-wook would be the main, Hyun-ji the secondary in this matter. Hee-wook just smiled vaguely in response.
Lawyer Lee Chan-il said he would introduce an important person. Chan-il was the lawyer who received the most premium requests in the firm. It was unlikely he would say this without reason.
Probably an influential figure from the political or business world. Hee-wook thought it was crucial to make a good impression and appear intelligent.
As he gathered his thoughts, the door opened, and Hyun-ji entered the meeting room first.
There sat a man with striking good looks, akin to a celebrity. A sharp nose, clear eyes, and a chiseled jawline – even from a man’s perspective, he was remarkably handsome. His laid-back posture and confident smile, however, seemed a bit arrogant.
“Aha, you’re here.”
As Chan-il smiled at the door, the man stood up. His presence seemed to fill the spacious meeting room. He appeared even taller than Hee-wook. Despite being a guest, he exuded a dominating aura, almost threatening.
“This is Attorney Yang Hee-wook, and over here is Attorney Choi Hyun-ji.”
Lee Chan-il introduced them to the man.
“Hello. I’m Kim Tae-jun.”
The man, Kim Tae-jun, extended his hand with a relaxed smile.
Kim Tae-jun.
The name sounded familiar. Hee-wook took the business card handed to him.
Kim Tae-jun, Central Branch Manager, K Electronics Service, Director.
Realizing who Tae-jun was, Hee-wook recalled a recent news article about Kim Jae-pil, the chairman of K Group, and his only grandson returning to Korea. The article hadn’t included a photo, so he was curious, and now he was meeting the person in question.
This man was now at K Electronics Service, the same company where his girlfriend So-eun worked.
Hyun-ji, having received Tae-jun’s card as well, chuckled knowingly.
“Something wrong?” Tae-jun asked.
“No, not at all,” Hyun-ji replied, glancing quickly at Hee-wook and then giving him a knowing smile. Fortunately, Hyun-ji, being tactful, didn’t bring up So-eun.
“Well, let’s have a talk. I have another meeting to attend, so I’ll leave first,” Chan-il said, leaving the room.
After he left, the remaining three sat down.
“Lawyer Lee recommended both of you. He said you’re young and competent.”
“It’s all thanks to Lawyer Lee’s kind words,” Hee-wook replied, nodding slightly with a smile.
Tae-jun got straight to the point.
“You might not know, but I am the only grandson of Kim Jae-pil, the chairman of K Group, and also his second-in-line heir.”
The only grandson. Second-in-line heir.
Hee-wook’s heart swelled. This feeling was even more intense than when his girlfriend had offered to donate her liver to her mother.
If he could become acquainted with the royal family, and better yet, become Tae-jun’s personal legal advisor…
Just the thought was exhilarating. Hee-wook resolved to give his best to Tae-jun’s request.
“However, I don’t think I will inherit the chairman’s position. Had my father been alive, it might have been possible, but it’s been 20 years since his passing, and times have changed. I think Kim Sang-deok, the current head of K Electronics’ Wireless Division, will eventually take over.
“But I do have shares in K Electronics, and since my grandfather has called me here, I believe I should make the most of my role. So, the task I want to assign you both is…”
As Tae-jun paused, Hee-wook nervously swallowed.
“Starting next year, I will be transferred to the main office of K Electronics. I’m planning for that transition now. I intend to recruit talents from all around the world and form a dream team. Global headhunting can lead to legal disputes due to patents held by these talents or non-compete agreements with their previous companies. I’d like you to meet these international talents personally and mediate these issues. This means you might have to travel abroad occasionally.”
Global headhunting. Dream team. Overseas trips.
Hee-wook scribbled these key points in his notebook and circled them several times. The circles in his notebook grew larger, as did his smile.
“I understand everything you’ve mentioned, Director. Once you send the related materials and schedule, we’ll start working on it immediately.”
“Sure. And before you start, you’ll receive a non-disclosure agreement.”
“No need to worry about confidentiality.”
Hee-wook replied with confidence.
[Star icon]After the meeting, Tae-jun said goodbye to Hee-wook and Hyun-ji and left the law firm. But he soon returned, having intentionally left the business cards Hee-wook and Hyun-ji gave him.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
