Turning her head towards the sound, she found herself face-to-face with Cha Min Woo.

Her heart plummeted.

“What, Assistant Kang, you haven’t left yet?”

“Yes, I have a lot of overtime work…”

He was not alone.

A much younger-looking woman was intimately clinging to his arm and waist.

Their slightly flushed faces suggested they had enjoyed a pleasant dinner with drinks.

“Ah, this is Min Kyung Park, the youngest daughter of PP Confectionery.”

He introduced the woman beside him to Ji Hyun with a smile.
Observing the slightly flushed faces of the two, it seemed they had enjoyed a pleasant dinner and had a few drinks.

“Ah, this is Park Min Kyung, the youngest daughter of PP Confectionery.”

He introduced the woman beside him to Kang Ji Hyun with a smile.

“Min Kyung, this is my secretary, Deputy Kang Ji Hyun. It seems our secretary loves the company very much, seeing how hard she works even at this late hour.”

Ji Hyun’s face reddened at Min Woo’s mocking laughter.

Park Min Kyung, not seeming to realize this was an office, did not let go of Cha Min Woo’s waist and arrogantly looked down at Ji Hyun, nodding her head.

“It seems you have many beauties around you, Min Woo. Even your secretary is beautiful.”

“Seeing how beautiful Min Kyung is, that seems true. Now, shall we not disturb our Deputy Kang in her work and go inside? You were curious about my room, weren’t you?”

With that, Min Woo led Park Min Kyung into his room.

“There’s nobody in the office at this time, right, Min Woo?”

Min Kyung’s voice, as if intended for Ji Hyun to hear, came through the closing door.

Ji Hyun, who had been staring blankly at her laptop, shook her head.

It had been 2 weeks since she was clearly rejected by Cha Min Woo.

She had anticipated he had a woman, but didn’t expect to see it with her own eyes.

And such a young woman at that.

She hadn’t cried anymore, perhaps due to crying so much before, but her heart was still troubled.

“Ah… I need to improve my judgment of people.”

Her bitter self-talk dispersed aimlessly into the air.

Suddenly, she remembered Cha Min Woo’s laptop.

“Right! The program should still be running! It can’t be seen by Cha Min Woo!”

Her heart pounded with sudden anxiety.

She felt an urgent need to check the situation inside.

‘What if he saw it? No, if he had, he would have come out and been angry with me, right?’

But no news wasn’t necessarily good news.

After a few minutes of restless worrying, she finally knocked on Cha Min Woo’s door.

“Executive Director.”

With no answer, she knocked again.

“Executive Director.”

“What is it!”

A few seconds after the second knock, a response came.

“Sorry, but I need to come in.”

“No, not now……”

Ignoring his protest, she opened the door, and at the same moment, saw the two hurriedly straightening their clothes.

“What is it, Deputy Kang Ji Hyun! I didn’t say you could come in!”

Cha Min Woo was angry, but Ji Hyun didn’t pay attention to him and glanced at the laptop behind.

The laptop screen reflected in the large window was turned off, a black screen.

Ji Hyun quickly shifted her gaze from the laptop to him.

“Executive Director, I… will resign in a month.”

Cha Min Woo’s baffled expression was expected.

“Ha! You’re saying you’ll resign now, Deputy Kang Ji Hyun! At this moment, at this hour, and in front of a guest!”

“It’s been hard to see you lately because you’ve been so busy. I thought I should tell you while I had the chance. Please excuse me.”

“Resignation. Fine, do as you wish. Just make sure to hand over your work properly.”
“Yes, I will thoroughly organize everything for a smooth handover to my successor. Then, I’ll be going now.”

Ji Hyun’s final words seemed to fall on deaf ears, as he waved his hand dismissively without a reply.

As Ji Hyun left his room, a message arrived.

[Deputy, I’ve checked everything with the program. I’ve also remotely turned off the laptop’s power. You’ve worked hard!]

Relief washed over Kang Ji Hyun at Eun Ji Yeon’s message.

She thought it best to quickly send the data she had photographed in Cha Min Woo’s room.

[Not sure if you’ll need it, but just in case, I’m sending it.]

Hundreds of financial statements were sent one by one through the message.

[If there has been wrongdoing, please ensure they are punished, Manager.] [Don’t worry. I’ll make sure of it. Also, I’ve forwarded your resume to Onyu Bio’s HR department, and they should contact you soon. Let’s talk more another time, it’s late. You’ve done well today.]

Kang Ji Hyun smiled at Ji Yeon’s message.

When Ji Yeon received additional photo data from Kang Ji Hyun, she was in a shabby office with Kang Hyun, Chief Auditor Kim Sa Heon, and a white hacker.

The rundown office was filled with several computers and various equipment.

“Did you get everything?”

“Yes, all thanks to Deputy Kang Ji Hyun.”

“You played a big part too, Chung Sik. Thanks.”

The competent white hacker was none other than Kwon Chung Sik.

Kang Hyun knew he dabbled in computers but had no idea about Chung Sik’s past, an active member of ‘AnonymerX’ and a talented white hacker who led numerous justice projects.

When uncovering the corruption of C&C Global, Kang Hyun had pondered and asked Chung Sik for help, needing a white hacker’s assistance.

Chung Sik had readily agreed.

As soon as he heard the answer, Kang Hyun had invested his own money to provide the necessary equipment and location.

This was a risky venture; at best, they would expose company corruption, and at worst, they would lose their positions.

Even if the corruption was exposed, there was no guarantee that the positions of those involved would be preserved.

There was also the risk of being branded a ‘traitor’ in the industry.

It was a fight with nothing personally to gain.

Yet, Kang Hyun, Chief Auditor Kim Sa Heon, Kwon Chung Sik, and several whistleblowers willingly joined this cause.

Therefore, Ji Yeon tried to put aside her personal feelings towards the detestable Cha Min Woo and Chairman Cha Seung Jo, who tried to manipulate and control everything, and approached the matter with more objectivity.

With each piece of evidence they reviewed, the enormity of their corruption became more apparent.

‘I will make sure they pay for this, these people!’

Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman

When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…

One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.

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.”
