He couldn’t let Seo Jae Ha take over the broadcasting station as well.
He sneered and then looked straight into Seo Rin’s eyes, asking fiercely.
“Are you confident?”
“…?”
“I’m asking if you’re confident in beating Yoon Yeo Jin and becoming the anchor if I set the stage for you.”
At his words, a deep desire filled Seo Rin’s wavering eyes.
After a hectic weekend due to the aftermath of the shareholders’ meeting, Monday arrived.
He had resumed studying management over the weekend, which he hadn’t touched in years.
‘I’m tired because I’m studying something I haven’t done before.’
However, after going over some basic content, it became much easier to look at the materials that Uncle Hyun Ik provided.
‘I need to study intermittently and organize the upcoming events.’
The shareholders’ meeting was just the beginning of the revenge.
“Yoon, junior.”
“Senior, it seems like you’re coming back from the editing office?”
On his way back to the programming office after finishing the afternoon radio broadcast, he ran into senior Young Joon.
“Right. They said there’s something urgent to insert. What about you?”
“I was just heading back to the office after finishing the radio broadcast.”
“Ah, okay. We can go together.”
They headed to the office together.
Senior Young Joon casually asked me questions and then, as we were about to arrive at the office, he asked me nonchalantly.
“By the way, how’s radio news going?”
“Um… I’m still in the adaptation phase. It’s my first time doing a regular broadcast like this, other than occasionally doing it on weekends.”
It was still difficult to say that I had become completely familiar with it.
When I glanced at him with a smile, he patted my shoulder as if he understood.
“Right? It’s tough at first. It’s even harder because you have to convey everything through your voice.”
“Yes, indeed.”
Before becoming an anchor for News9, senior had been in charge of radio news for quite a long time.
“Still, you’re good at broadcasting, Yoon junior. You’re preparing well for the audition, right?”
He turned to me while holding the glass door handle of the programming office and asked.
“I’m working hard on it.”
“Good! I hope you return to our news team soon.”
I talked with him about the audition and then went back to my seat.
That’s when I heard the laughter of the juniors who were sitting in a group in the break area.
My eyes met with Seo Rin, who was sitting among the juniors with a joyful expression on her face.
“So, what time is the dinner party today?”
“It starts at eight.”
I turned my gaze to another junior who mentioned the dinner party.
Senior Young Joon, who was sitting next to me, seemed to have heard their conversation and got up.
“Starting at eight? I don’t think I can go because of the news.”
“Seo Rin, you come after finishing the broadcast.”
The juniors assured Seo Rin, who replied with a regretful face, that it was okay.
She was sociable and got along with the announcers like her peers.
Senior Young Joon approached them with an interested look and asked.
“Is there a dinner party in the programming office today?”
“No, we’re just having a small gathering among ourselves.”
It didn’t seem like an announcer teamwide dinner party, but a gathering of employees from one grade below.
A nearby announcer playfully asked him.
“Do you want to join, senior?”
At the courteous question from his junior, he chuckled and answered.
“I do have a sense of tact. No, Yoon Yeo Jin has returned to work as an announcer, but there hasn’t been any such gathering so far.”
When senior mentioned my name, Seo Rin, who was fiddling with her phone, looked up.
“We sent her off so suddenly without a farewell party, so we thought about having a welcoming party combined with a dinner gathering just among ourselves.”
At senior’s question, the laughter of the juniors who had been talking warmly just a moment ago stopped.
“Why?”
The sudden change in atmosphere made the surrounding air feel chilly.
Even the senior who had brought up the topic could clearly feel the change in atmosphere, enough to be taken aback.
“Ah… haha, please let me know when it’s decided.”
“I’ll go and see the situation at that time.”
The juniors exchanged glances and answered with awkward smiles.
It felt like a distinctly different temperature compared to the warm laughter and conversation just moments ago.
“The director will probably decide and let you know. You’re a favored announcer after all.”
One of the juniors sitting next to Seo Rin threw a sharp comment.
Seo Rin, who grabbed her sleeve, seemed to be whispering for her to stop.
“That’s right. The director will take care of it.”
“Oh, look at the time. I need to go prepare for the broadcast.”
As the atmosphere turned cold, the people sitting in the break area stood up one by one and dispersed.
“What’s going on?”
Senior, watching the juniors leaving their seats unexpectedly, came back to his seat with a perplexed face.
He leaned over my desk and asked me quietly.
“Why are they acting like that? Did I do something wrong in your opinion, Yoon junior?”
“I don’t think so.”
As I glanced around, my eyes met with Seo Rin, who was seated.
She stared at me intently, then abruptly turned her head towards the monitor.
I see. Chae Seo Rin, you must have been up to something again.
The thought that the change in some people’s gazes might be because of that made the back of my neck feel tense.
‘I must have become an outcast among my juniors without realizing it.’
I rubbed my furrowed brow to prevent it from frowning.
‘She must have made up something about me.’
That must be the reason why the juniors suddenly became cold to me.
As my head hurt and I pressed my forehead, he scratched his head and continued speaking.
“Is that so? The atmosphere turned chilly as soon as I brought up Yoon junior.”
“……”
“Well, the director will probably handle it.”
It seemed that he felt bad because he couldn’t pay attention to me after my return to work.
“Senior, I’m fine. I can receive a welcome greeting later.”
“Okay. Are you leaving work late today? Let’s have dinner when we get off work.”
Since the deadline news team had a late departure, I often had dinner with the senior.
The old memories came back, and it was quite pleasant, but I had a place to go after work.
“Thank you for the thought, senior. I have somewhere to go after work.”
“Do you have an appointment at that time?”
“Yes. I have to meet a very important person.”
As I finished speaking, my eyes met with Seo Rin who had just straightened up in her seat.
‘Does it bother you who that might be?’
Seo Rin’s annoyingly furrowed brow seemed to show her wariness towards me.
She stared at me persistently until I turned my head away.

Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
