So he had exercised in the early morning to loosen his stiff body from working overtime.
After exercising and taking a shower, he ran into Eun Ji Yeon, whose eyes were swollen and hair was like a bird’s nest, talking about work.
He found it hilarious that her face and hair didn’t match with her fastpaced talk in a low, muffled voice, embodying the strictly professional ‘Manager Eun’.
And yet, it was also amusingly cute.
As someone who strived to work without leaving any gaps, her image in the company was cold and quiet, but she often showed a charming and adorable side in everyday situations he happened upon.
‘How cute, Miss Eun Ji Yeon.’
Unbeknownst to him, Kang Hyun was showing interest in a woman after a long time.
Saturday at 8 o’clock, it was still early morning for the office workers who had lived a hectic week.
However, Kang Hyun and the TF team members had started a meeting with the North America team.
It was their first concept delivery meeting with the North America region planning team, in which they presented a plan to expand the sales of a newly planned product to the North American market.
While Kang Hyun’s team was the headquarters and the others were branch offices, the North American market was so large and sensitive that coordination with the North America team was necessary when launching a new product or advertisement.
The meeting, which included perfectly prepared materials, the team’s efforts and persuasive delivery, and Kang Hyun’s presentation, who was often called ‘the devil of presentations’, was nothing short of perfect.
And Ji Yeon’s swolleneyed face exposed in the video conference was a masterstroke, so to speak.
“Oh my God! Kang Hyun, what’s wrong with her face? Is she sick?”
The Director of the North America team was surprised and asked as soon as he saw Ji Yeon’s face.
“No, she and her team members had to create new data every night due to the materials you guys keep changing and urgently requesting. They hardly slept for the past 5 days. You should be grateful to her and our team for producing such great results with the piecemeal data you guys provided.”
“I’m really sorry, Kang Hyun and team. We did our best, but it seems we caused you a lot of inconvenience. Next time, we’ll ensure to communicate more clearly and give you more time to prepare the materials. The materials created through your efforts and dedication were perfect. We understood the concept you mentioned, and we now have hope that we can start sales with the same concept in the North American market. We’ll prepare well.”
“I hope you will.”
It was a moment when the project team’s hard work shone.
Of course, more challenging times were expected ahead.
Around 10 o’clock, when the meeting ended and the North American team left the online meeting, Kang Hyun expressed his gratitude to his team.
“You all worked really hard. It’s a great start. I look forward to what’s next. You had to work a lot of late nights last week and even had to work today, on the weekend. Let’s all come to work in the afternoon on Monday.”
“Thank you! You worked hard too, Manager!”
After the meeting ended, the tension released all at once and Ji Yeon collapsed onto the table.
Perhaps it had been too long since she had been in such a meticulously tense meeting, and she had been more nervous than she thought.
“You did a great job. Both the preparation of materials and the presentation were excellent.”
“You worked hard too, Manager. You seem to have hardly slept, you must be very tired.”
“I’m fine. By the way, your English skills seemed quite impressive during the meeting, it seems like you’re consistently practicing.”
“Thank you. I’m still lacking a lot so I’ve been studying again recently. There are a lot of apps these days and good resources online, so I’ve been doing it alone at home, but without a practice partner, I’m not improving much. I’m considering whether I should go to an English academy once this busy project is over.”
“Well, let me know if you need one, I can always be your speaking practice partner.”
“Excuse me?”
“You said you could use a practice partner because you don’t get much chance to speak English. I’m saying I can do it, so just let me know if you need it.”
Lee Kang Hyun looked at Eun Ji Yeon as he closed his laptop.
“I might not be a native speaker, but my English is pretty good. I’ve heard particularly good things about my pronunciation.”
At Kang Hyun’s confident words, Ji Yeon’s head nodded without her realizing.
Of course, I know the manager’s English is good.
His English pronunciation was smoother than that of a native speaker, like a steak slathered in butter. His fluent language skills, I know them all too well.
“Thank you, even for the offer, Manager.”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
