Despite the chaos, Ji Yeon composed herself and followed Kang Hyun outside.
She carefully observed his face, which showed no significant change in expression. However, having become attuned to the subtleties of his gaze, she could tell he was not in a good mood.
“Ji Yeon, this doesn’t seem like a matter that can be explained or resolved quickly. Would you mind sparing some time this evening?”
“Yes, I understand. I will.”
“It’s not that I intentionally avoided telling you. Obviously, I didn’t know who the author was, and the events of the past were so long ago that I didn’t mention them. I hope there’s no misunderstanding about this.”
Kang Hyun ran his fingers through his hair with a heavy sigh.
“I won’t misunderstand, Kang Hyun.”
Ji Yeon deliberately used his name and took his hand, indicating she really didn’t misunderstand.
“And since you said you’d tell me, I’ll wait. Don’t worry too much.”
Kang Hyun looked at Ji Yeon, seemingly still worried despite her reassurance.
“And I’ll handle the collaboration with the author myself. I can do it.”
Kang Hyun was concerned, knowing Kwon Ji Soo’s character was neither easy nor ordinary, which made Ji Yeon’s bright assurances all the more worrisome.
However, this was work… and he couldn’t stop Ji Yeon when she was determined.
“Even though it’s unlikely, if you find it too difficult, consider changing the person in charge of the task.”
Kang Hyun knew Ji Yeon wasn’t the type to misinterpret situations, so he didn’t want to unnecessarily create any misunderstandings.
“Understood. Thank you for considering. But I think I’ll be okay. I’m not so easygoing when it comes to work.”
Ji Yeon smiled reassuringly at him.
“Then go ahead, I’ll wrap up the meeting well and report back to you separately, Division Chief.”
“Alright.”
After sending Kang Hyun off, Ji Yeon re-entered the restaurant and sat down facing the cold atmosphere between Chung Sik and Kwon Ji Soo.
Before speaking, Ji Yeon took a deep breath.
She then turned to Kwon Ji Soo and looked her straight in the eye.
“Author, first… there are things we need to agree on and start for this project.”
“Go ahead.”
“It’s truly a remarkable coincidence that everyone involved in this project has a connection with you. However, our focus must be on the outcome of the work, so I ask you to put personal matters aside and commit fully to the project. This project is very important to me personally, and even more so to our team, so I want to finish it successfully.”
Kwon Ji Soo looked at Ji Yeon for a moment, then a smile spread across her face, and she nodded.
“I understand. That’s so obvious, yet I had forgotten it for a moment due to the circumstances. This project is very important to me too. I definitely want to complete it splendidly.”
“Thank you for saying that. And Manager Kwon Chung Sik.”
This time, Ji Yeon turned to Chung Sik and spoke.
“Manager, please set aside personal matters and focus on the work. If that is difficult, we may need to reassess the work distribution in a team meeting. What would you prefer? Should we reallocate tasks?”
Chung Sik’s face turned red upon hearing Ji Yeon’s somewhat stern tone.
He had acted too childishly in front of her, momentarily forgetting that they were gathered not for personal reasons, but for work.
“No, I will forget all personal issues and concentrate on the work, Manager Eun Ji Yeon. I apologize for showing a lacking side of myself.”
Chung Sik responded with formal language, conveying his regret.
“Thank you both for your positive responses. I know you both must have a lot on your minds, but our project timeline is quite tight, so there are matters we need to discuss today. Are you both ready to start the meeting now?”
Both Kwon Ji Soo and Chung Sik nodded simultaneously.
They seemed compelled to follow Ji Yeon’s firm but gentle direction.
“Thank you for understanding. Let’s discuss how you’d like your artwork to be featured in the advertising concept, and although it wasn’t included in the initial proposal, I would like to discuss the possibility of your direct participation in the advertisement.”
The three of them quickly shifted from the heated atmosphere to turning on their laptops and beginning to discuss the collaboration.
After a two-hour meeting, as they were tidying up, Ji Yeon asked Ji Soo,
“I intend to visit your temporary studio in the next few days to review the artwork for the advertisement. Could you share your contact information and address?”
At that, Ji Soo quickly checked something on her phone.
“Manager Eun Ji Yeon, I have sent the address and contact details to your email.”
“Thank you.”
“But… I have something to ask as well.”
“Go ahead.”
“I would like to have Kang Hyun’s… I mean, the Division Chief’s contact details.”
Ji Soo asked with a bright smile, holding out her phone.
“I’m sorry, but that won’t be possible. I can’t just give out the Division Chief’s personal contact details without his consent. However, I will let him know you inquired.”
Ji Yeon tried to maintain a calm expression.
