Taejin had a confident expression on her face.
Even without such a deal, Taeyeon would leave Dojun’s side soon since there wasn’t much time left in the period promised to Chairman Jin.
In anticipation of resisting and enduring if necessary, Taejin had been collecting various cards.
She was contemplating how to proceed because there was no guarantee that she could take Taeyeon’s place just by pushing her away.
Expressing happiness, Taejin said, “If you wish earnestly, even the sky seems to grant it.”
Taejin looked at Haejun with a self-assured face.
“If it’s the divorce of the two, I have a way.”
“Really?”
Haejun didn’t seem curious about the details of the method, as if he didn’t want to inquire further.
“I’m someone who only needs results.”
“I hope you keep your promise. It would be very awkward for me if you say something different later.”
“I won’t.”
The two people with the same goal met and tilted their glasses deeply.
Inside the KK Food conference room, it was filled with the fervor of intense discussions.
“Sir Bonbu, how about trying out the market response first and releasing the miso-flavored konjac rice after a time gap?”
Taeyeon’s suggestion made Dojun’s face look pensive.
After hearing Taeyeon’s story, Dojun offered his opinion.
“To quickly dominate the market, it’s better to introduce various new products initially.”
“That’s true, but the quality of the tested miso-flavored konjac rice in the factory is not the best.”
Wrinkles appeared on Dojun’s forehead.
With the opinions of the two confronting each other tightly, the other team members attending the meeting could only watch without being able to intervene.
“Let’s think about this matter first. It’s urgent to make changes now, considering our goal is to launch it next month.”
“Understood.”
“Oh, and I’ll inform Manager Jin as soon as the final launch date is set. Let’s end the meeting here today.”
As Dojun announced the end of the meeting, everyone left the conference room without turning back.
Seeing the door closing, Taeyeon stood up.
At that moment, while worrying if she had presented her position too forcefully and if Dojun’s feelings might be hurt, Dojun approached her step by step.
At a close distance, the gazes of the two became entangled.
“I suggested my opinion for the sake of a better new product. I wonder if my passion was too much.”
“No, it wasn’t.”
Dojun looked at Taeyeon as if he liked her.
“I value people who express their opinions like you more than team members who just follow what I say.”
“In that case, I’m relieved…”
Dojun approached and narrowed the distance while saying, “I’m thinking of releasing our new product on this date. What do you think about that day?”
“Sounds good. However, since there’s still some time, let’s consider whether to launch the miso-flavored konjac rice or not.”
“That’s a good idea. Since the launch date is top secret, only the promotion team leader, Manager Jin, and I should know for now.”
“Sure. Since the release date is top secret, it’s better if only the promotion team leader, Manager Jin, and I know.”
If the release date leaks, there is a possibility that competitors may launch new products around that time. Therefore, often only the PR team leader, who is responsible for distributing press releases, and the person in charge knew about the new product release date.
Taeyeon nodded with a trustworthy expression.
“Since we can decide whether to include the miso-flavored konjac rice just before the final distribution, please prepare the press release in one version for now.”
“Okay.”
Dojun, blocking Taeyeon, who was hurrying to leave the meeting room, asked, “Do you have anything else to say?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, go ahead.”
As Taeyeon opened her diary to take notes, Dojun abruptly grabbed her wrist with a tap sound.
Then, without warning, he bent down, lightly touched her lips, and fled.
“Mr. Dojun!”
Startled, Taeyeon pushed against his chest with force.
“You scared me.”
“Throughout the meeting, I thought you were going crazy just staring at your lips.”
Taeyeon rolled her eyes, saying it was ridiculous.
“Lies. Are you saying that such a person carefully considered each of my opinions?”
“Did you get upset by any chance?”
“No? I just wanted to catch Mr. Dojun lying.”
Feeling that Dojun wouldn’t let her go if she stayed here any longer, Taeyeon quickly moved away.
Sitting down, she opened a window to send an email to the PR team leader.
With a plea not to let the release date leak externally and a brief description of the two originally planned products, she sent it over.
After sending the email, suddenly Taeyeon’s computer screen turned blue.
“Huh? Why is this happening?”
No matter how much she clicked the mouse, nothing changed.
Seeing Taeyeon flustered, Sirak, passing by, subtly leaned over.
“What’s wrong?”
“Oh no, it’s okay.”
“Uh-huh. It’s a blue screen.”
Sirak pressed a few keys on the keyboard without Taeyeon asking for help.
“Did you recently update the operating system, Manager Jin?”
Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!
This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.
The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.
Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.
It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.
The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.
In the end, everything will come together and be explained.
One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!
In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.
Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.
However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
——
Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.
His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.
Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”
——
The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.
Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!
Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…
——
But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.
The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.
She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”
Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?
[Small Theater]
The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.
Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
