One hour ago, Dojun’s home office.
The audit team leader stood in front of Dojun with a stern expression.
“As soon as she arrives at work today, I plan to call Manager Chae Sira to inquire about the details of that day.”
Hearing the audit team leader’s intention to somehow extract a confession from Sira, Dojun slowly raised his head.
“You don’t have to exert that much pressure; I will confess with my own mouth.”
The audit team leader had an expression that showed no trust.
On the other hand, Dojun looked confident.
“Just list a few facts that we know when you call her to the audit team office today.”
“Is that really okay?”
The audit team leader was expressing concern about whether it would become more difficult if Sira immediately concealed her whereabouts after the meeting with the audit team.
“She’s not that kind of person.”
Dojun was sure.
“Just show her the attendance records and subtly ask what Manager Chae was doing in the office during that time.”
“Understood.”
“And finally, before concluding, show her the CCTV footage we obtained.”
“Yes.”
“She’ll be surprised. A lot.”
Even without seeing it with her own eyes, Dojun knew that.
He smirked confidently.
He had claimed to Taeyeon that he had prevented a main server attack, but that was a lie. Some files had been deleted, and conveniently, only the elevator and lobby CCTV footage, which could prove Taeyeon’s alibi, had been erased.
He had casually let it pass, thinking that if he told Taeyeon about it, she might worry.
Fortunately, the files stored on the sub-server remained, so the CCTV footage could be restored to its original state.
“And I have one thing to do for you.”
“Yes, please tell me.”
“After you kick out Manager Chae, secretly follow her.”
“What?”
The audit team leader asked again, as if she didn’t understand.
“Shall I assume it’s an order to follow her, even if I don’t know where she’s going?”
Dojun had a confident expression.
“After watching the CCTV footage, Manager Chae will likely contemplate and try to make a call. She’s the only person Sira would look for if things didn’t go well.”
That person would likely be the mastermind behind this incident.
“Maybe before coming up to the office, there’s a high chance she’ll use the emergency stairs.”
The audit team leader waited silently for Dojun’s instructions.
“For now, I’ll be on the emergency stairs as well. Once the meeting with the audit team leader is over, please quietly come up.”
“Yes, understood.”
“Then go.”
It had been quite a while since Sira received the audit team’s instructions and left, but she hadn’t returned to the office.
While Taeyeon wondered what stories they were exchanging, her phone sparkled, and Dojun’s message arrived, asking her to come to the emergency stairs for a moment.
Taeyeon grabbed her phone, pretended to go to the restroom, and quietly left the office.
Carefully opening the door to the emergency stairs and stepping inside, there was Dojun, who had come early and was waiting.
“Chief Lee…”
Whenever she entered the company, Taeyeon called him Chief Lee instead of Mr. Dojun, and it was so adorable that Dojun chuckled.
“What were you doing?”
“I was just writing an email to send to the factory.”
Although they would likely release a new product faster than KK Food, a competitor, they couldn’t refrain from introducing the diligently crafted seaweed rice cakes to the market.
Especially now, they needed to enhance the quality of products made by KK Food to capture the consumers’ attention.
Dojun admired how logically and sensibly Taeyeon handled the confusing situation like this.
So, he sent a glance expressing his desire to hug her with open arms.
“It’s the company.”
“I know.”
In the past, she wouldn’t have approached, but Taeyeon moved towards Dojun step by step, as if she were drawn to him like a magnet.
“Stay like this for a moment.”
Then, Taeyeon, too, opened her arms and embraced Dojun’s waist.
“Yes.”
Feeling Dojun’s body temperature, Taeyeon relaxed.
Although she didn’t reveal it, it was challenging to ignore the gaze directed at her since she arrived at work.
However, it wasn’t possible to say that it wasn’t me and interfere with the audit team and Dojun’s work.
The misunderstanding would be resolved anyway.
Enduring for one more day wasn’t a problem.
Carefully, Taeyeon spoke the words she had been holding in her heart.
“Mr. Dojun, a few days ago, my computer briefly malfunctioned.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. At that time, Manager Chae happened to pass by and touched it a few times, and then it worked fine.”
Up to this point, it was an unproblematic story.
However, there was one thing that bothered her.
“She kept standing there, saying she would check if it was fixed properly. Maybe at that time, Manager Chae checked my computer password.”
“Ah, I see.”
“I’m sorry. I should have been more careful.”
To this, Dojun firmly shook his head.
“It’s not your mistake. At that time, you were probably worried about your computer not turning on properly.”
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?”
