Before long, Taejun took out two mobile phone mainboards in front of the three people.

“Do you know the difference between these two mainboards?”

At first glance, the two mainboards seemed identical, but upon closer inspection, there was a slight difference.

“The chipsets are different. Are they products from different companies?”

Soeun, noticing the difference in chipsets, raised her head and asked.

Taejun faintly smiled, seemingly impressed by Soeun’s keen eyes. His expression seemed to reveal a touch of pride, making Soeun’s heart ache again.

“Yes, you’re right. The one on the right is a mainboard composed of chipsets from EIX, a subcontractor in the Philippines that we trade with. The one on the left is made with chipsets from a company called Nukum. EIX’s chipsets have better durability for the price, so we have a deal with them. That’s according to K Electronics’ internal public data. However, K Electronics has been providing mainboards made with Nukum’s chipsets separately to the service center. These mainboards are inserted only in cases where after-sales service occurs within three months of purchase.”

“Are you saying you replaced the mainboard with chipsets from Nukum, not EIX, which is known for its durability?”

Bobe, in response to Taejun’s explanation, asked.

“That’s right.”

It was a strange story. Claiming that EIX’s chipsets were more durable, yet replacing mainboards with chipsets from another company for phones with issues within three months of purchase. The three of them looked at each other in puzzlement.

“The internal evaluation data for Nukum’s chipsets was a brief summary. It seems like K Electronics may have intentionally omitted it. You should all take a closer look at that part. How different are EIX and Nukum’s chipsets? Is EIX truly more durable, and does Nukum fall short?”

Finally, a special task was assigned. The hearts of the three swelled. On the other hand, a sense of curiosity arose. Kim Taejun was said to be the only grandson of the chairman of K Electronics, and what he was orchestrating now seemed like it could blemish his reputation. Furthermore, it might lead to internal division within the company.

“If you need any data during the process, feel free to let me or Director Song Mun Gyeong know. I’ll also investigate more precisely why the company is separately supplying mainboards from Nukum.”

After giving instructions to the three and disclosing his tasks, Taejun concluded the briefing.

After Taejun’s explanation ended and the room fell silent, the three examined the documents. After a while, Supervisor Jang Eunpyo raised his hand and asked a question.

“Is the project of this TF team a classified mission?”

“Yes, that’s correct. That’s why we need you to sign a confidentiality agreement.”

“In that case, may we ask Director why he’s preparing such a project?”

The voice that uttered ‘Director’ carried weight.
Why are you preparing for such a secret project? And not just anyone, but you, the grandson of the chairman of a large corporation.

It was a sharp question, and in fact, it was a curiosity murmuring in everyone’s mouths.

To that question, Taejun answered without hesitation.

“Now that I’ve taken office at K Electronics Service, I want to properly address issues related to K Electronics Service. If we are heading in the wrong direction, we need to understand it correctly and correct it to grow properly, don’t we?”

It was a textbook-like upright answer that didn’t reveal any ambition or sinister intentions. Even if he was hiding something different within, the charisma that could be trusted made the three nod unknowingly.

Knock, knock.

Soeun knocked on Taejun’s home office door and entered.

“Director, I brought the confidentiality agreements for the TF team members.”

It was to obtain signatures on the confidentiality agreements for the TF team members.

Taejun, tilting his head to check behind Soeun’s shoulders, stood up and closed the door as soon as it was shut.

With a clunk, once the door closed, Taejun pulled Soeun’s waist and hugged her. Soeun’s whole body tensed abruptly at the sudden embrace, but Taejun, as if finding a moment to relax, eased the tension on his shoulders and leaned on Soeun.

Whoo, Taejun’s breath escaped beyond Soeun’s shoulder.

Was the business trip challenging?

Soeun suddenly wanted to wipe his broad back. She cautiously raised her arm to place it on his back, and at that moment, a voice sounded near her cheek.

“Did you really not want to see me?”

The voice that was cool and composed during the TF team briefing now sounded gently.

“…I wanted to see you. Of course.”

“Still, you didn’t contact me first.”

At Soeun’s response, he pouted.

Soeun thought it was only natural not to contact him. Even if she wanted to see him and hear his voice, she thought she should endure it. He was working. It wasn’t an ordinary job, and she couldn’t bother someone who had gone on a business trip to a distant place just because she missed him. For Soeun, who had once had a lawyer boyfriend, it was a matter of course.
