Taejin repeatedly called the phone, but only the automated voice saying it’s turned off frustrated him, so he threw the phone to the floor with a dull thud.
With a loud noise, the phone fell.
“Ah, does Shiraek handle things like this for real?”
Why the hell isn’t she answering my calls!
Even yelling didn’t relieve his anger.
“Well, try using your brain for once.”
When Shiraek answered the call, Cha Dojun had her phone in his hand.
Did he record what I said?
Talking about CCTV wasn’t supposed to be rushed like that.
“Fine, even if you recorded it.”
Because he didn’t accurately convey the story about the company’s CCTV.
Dojun didn’t see any way out.
Especially since the skilled hacker Taejin hired attacked the main server in a way that couldn’t be traced through IP.
Finding that hacker was difficult, and even if they identified the person behind the act, Taejin had no connections.
He had paid the amount in cash.
“Ha.”
Still, he didn’t know why he felt so uneasy.
The only record left was the conversation with Shiraek while discussing Taeyeon’s daily life.
It could be easily explained as just worrying about a married younger sister who couldn’t be reached.
“Ah, I’m really going crazy.”
He barely managed to suppress the curse that almost burst out to his chin.
Right on time, the phone lying on the floor rang.
Thinking it might be Shiraek, Taejin picked up the phone casually.
Perhaps due to the force of the throw, there was a crack in the once flawless screen.
Really, nothing seemed to be going right.
He checked the caller ID with a sense of foreboding.
“…….”
It wasn’t Shiraek.
“Why is this person calling me…”
While suppressing the rising anxiety, Taejin reluctantly answered the call.
“What’s going on?”
Dash “Mr. Taejin, what kind of work is this?”
“What are you talking about?”
Dash “Do it properly. Trust me, and you’ll be fine.”
Taejin bit his well-maintained nails, wondering why Haejun called him out of the blue.
Could it be that Dojun found out everything?
However, it wasn’t time to make a call like this yet.
Even if Shiraek called, it didn’t mean Taeyeon’s position was restored.
The essential thing not to forget was that Taeyeon intended to launch the new product first, beating the competitor to the market.
Even if Shiraek leaked information, it couldn’t be said that Taeyeon, as the person in charge, had no responsibility.
Taejin decided to feign ignorance while composing his voice.
“Explain so I can understand. Why are you calling out of the blue like this?”
Dash “Haven’t you read the news yet?”
“What news?”
Dash “Ha. I tried to join hands with such a foolish and helpless X.”
After leaving those words, Haejun hung up on his own accord.
“Ah, what is this kid saying? Who’s stupid, huh?”
Taejin roughly swept his hair back and reluctantly touched the phone with a half-broken screen.
Struggling to display the portal site screen, Taejin muttered curses under his breath.
“I’m going crazy.”
It seemed like Taejin knew exactly why Haejun spoke that way.
Taejin clicked on an article that had been prominently featured.
[○○ Food’s New Product Konjac Rice, Delayed Release… Is it due to hasty preparation?]Taejin exhaled deeply.
Everything was back to square one, making his previous efforts seem futile.
“How can this happen?”
He had prepared for months, believing that through this, he could perfectly pull Taeyeon down from Dojun’s side.
However, as if mocking Taejin’s delusions, everything had returned to its place.
Shiraek, who leaked information, was caught.
And although there was no evidence that I was behind the instruction, Dojun had suspicions.
Moreover, ○○ Food seemed to have changed its stance, deciding not to go ahead with the release of the new product.
“Aaah!!!”
Nothing was going as planned.
Inside Taejin’s room, only the screams filled with rage echoed.
Taeyeon, who ended the call with Dojun, held her phone with a puzzled expression.
“What article is he talking about?”
When she opened the portal site app, a news article caught her eye.
“No way…”
Clicking on the article, Taeyeon’s eyes widened even more.
The press release reported an internal communication error, and the release of the new product was temporarily postponed.
“Wow…”
How could everything be resolved in just one day?
Taeyeon could only admire Dojun’s quick and thorough handling of the situation.
Soon, a call came from Dojun.
“Mr. Dojun?”
Dash “Did you check the article?”
“Yes, I saw it. Mr. Dojun, thank you so much for your hard work.”
Dash “What did I do? You’ve suffered a lot.”
“Thank you.”
If it weren’t for Dojun, I might have messed up everything.
Thinking about it made emotions well up.
I was not helping Dojun but causing trouble like this.
Dojun quickly recovered and offered the next seat.
The relationship between gaining and losing was so clear.
Dojun cautiously called the silent Taeyeon.
Dash “Mr. Jintaeon?”
“Yes, Mr. Dojun.”
Dash “Is what I said earlier sincere?”
“What do you mean?”
Dash “Thank you.”
“Well…”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
