“Director, Secretary Choi has messaged you to come up immediately as the Chairman has called for you. Your next schedule is two hours later, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”
Secretary Kang Ji Hyun reported in a dry tone.
“Understood.”
Since their last conversation, she hadn’t caused any particular problems.
It was a relief.
The issue, however, seemed to lie with him.
Ever since that night, he kept having the same dream repeatedly.
It was problematic whether it was Eun Ji Yeon’s dream… or if it was the time he spent with Kang Ji Hyun that appeared in his dream.
The dream always started with Eun Ji Yeon embracing him and invariably ended with Kang Ji Hyun comforting him.
Ironically, even though it was a dream, he always found the comfort in her embrace so pleasing that he regretted waking up.
‘Enough. Whether it’s a dream or not. That’s just something of the past.’
Min Woo shook his head, dispelling the thoughts.
There were plenty of other things to worry about besides Kang Ji Hyun.
He didn’t want to ponder further or create more problems.
Arriving at Chairman Cha’s room, Secretary Choi greeted him.
“You’ve arrived, Director. You can go in right now. There’s a guest present, and it seems you’ll be having a conversation together.”
“Who’s the guest?”
“Chairman Eun Ju Hoon of Onyu Pharmaceuticals and Director Eun Ji Eun are here.”
“Understood.”
Hearing that Ji Yeon’s family was present, a creeping unease began to rise within him.
‘If it’s about the investment, they could have contacted me directly. Coming to the Chairman directly means… something else?’
Min Woo straightened his suit and opened the door to the Chairman’s office.
Entering, he saw Chairman Cha and Eun Ji Yeon’s father, Chairman Eun Ju Hoon of Onyu Pharmaceuticals, and her sister, Director Eun Ji Eun, having tea and chatting.
“It’s been a while, father-in-law… I mean, Chairman Eun, Director.”
Min Woo bowed deeply in greeting.
“Yes, it’s been quite a while, Director Cha.”
Chairman Eun replied warmly, and Director Eun Ji Eun just looked at Cha Min Woo silently, nodding her head.
“Director Cha, please have a seat.”
Chairman Cha indicated the seat in front of Chairman Eun.
“Now, I believe Chairman Eun and Director Eun Ji Eun didn’t come just for a visit. Is there something you’d like to discuss? Perhaps about the future investments?”
As soon as Cha Min Woo sat down, Chairman Cha asked directly without beating around the bush.
Cha Min Woo had recently requested several meetings with Onyu Pharmaceuticals regarding the extension of the investment, but they had been postponed due to scheduling conflicts, so today’s visit was quite surprising.
Unaware of this, Chairman Cha was smiling, filled with anticipation.
“Yes, Chairman. Our investment contract is due to conclude in three months. It’s indeed a busy time for discussions.”
Chairman Eun nodded and responded.
“Right. We have a very promising item to add to the extended investment. I thought Director Cha would have been informed already…”
“Ah, is that so? It’s been so long since I’ve met Director Cha, perhaps he contacted Director Eun Ji Eun separately. Director Eun, have you discussed anything? I haven’t received any updates.”
Chairman Eun Ju Hoon turned to Eun Ji Eun, inquiring.
“No, Chairman. Although I should be informed about investment-related matters, Director Cha has been contacting you directly, bypassing me. Therefore, I’m not aware of this matter, Chairman. If you are unaware, so am I.”
Director Eun Ji Eun was extremely displeased with Cha Min Woo.
Normally, all investment matters should have been approved and reported by her, but Cha Min Woo always contacted Chairman Eun directly.
It was as if he considered her a mere figurehead.
If it weren’t for Ji Yeon, she would have turned everything upside down.
‘He has the worst personality, bypassing the approval process.’
Boiling with anger, Director Eun Ji Eun bit her lip.
Cha Min Woo sighed at Ji Eun’s response.
Even though his relationship with Ji Yeon was strained, this was business.
He couldn’t simply change his stance on the investment so easily.
The investment was going to be extended anyway, and he just needed to persuade them for the additional investment.
He didn’t include Director Eun Ji Eun in the process, thinking it unnecessary, as ultimately Chairman Eun was the decision-maker.
“So, I’ve been condoning a plan that ignored the process. I’m sorry, Director Eun.”
Suddenly, Chairman Eun Ju Hoon apologized to his daughter, surprising everyone.
“Being a father, I may have been too lenient, worrying about my daughter’s married life, even in business matters. That’s why such issues arose.”
Chairman Eun Ju Hoon said, looking straight into Chairman Cha Seung Jo’s eyes.
“Chairman Cha Seung Jo. I’ve been too sensitive in handling business matters, perhaps blinded by my child’s situation. Business should be viewed coldly, separate from personal affairs.”
“Ha-ha, it’s natural for parents to be like that. And you, Chairman, haven’t made any mistakes.”
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
