He is currently rumored to become the next presidential candidate from the ruling party, the hottest mayor in the country. Mayor Jo himself is impressive, but the problem is that if they form a connection, Yoon Seo can also experience Mayor Jo’s golden network.
“Hmm, Chairwoman Yoon seems to have put quite a bit of effort. The quality of the alcohol here is top-notch; it sticks to your palate like magic.”
Yoon Seo sighed at the voice coming from the side.
I wonder how he knew that the alcohol inside the party venue became high-quality in such a short time. Yoon Seo wondered if Doha was investigating the key figures among the invited guests.
Unable to leave it to chance when an accident might occur anytime, Yoon Seo felt too frustrated to just stay still in front of a networking opportunity. In the end, there was a fleeting moment when she considered abandoning Doha and going to socialize alone.
“…Chairwoman’s here…”
“Oh my, really… That’s right…”
“Look over there… bring her…”
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the venue began to stir.
At a famous shop in Gangnam, Yunseo, who had her makeup done after being called in, raised a cocktail glass with an indifferent face. When the red liquid flowed down her throat, Yunseo shifted her gaze to where everyone’s attention was focused.
“Ha! As expected, it’s going to be fun.”
Dohoon, who confirmed the cause of the excitement ahead of Yunseo, laughed loudly, shaking his glass.
“Congratulations on turning sixty, Chairman Yun Myeong-gil.”
“Just barely sixty, Chairman Yun. Our company is going to run into the future.”
Yun Myeong-gil, the chairman of Gilmyeong Group, the second-largest in the industry, and Lee Bon-geun, the chairman of Mibon Food, leading the industry, exchanged meaningful smiles while looking at each other.
“Master Strategist,” Lee Bon-geun.
That was the nickname for the current Chairman Lee Bon-geun. An experienced veteran who fought countless battles. He was called by a different nickname in his younger days, but now it was firmly set as ‘Master Strategist.’
As the father of Lee Yun-ho and Lee Su-rin, he was famous in the industry for being a workaholic, and as a result, he saw his children late in life. He was a person who never gave himself a break throughout his life.
“You still haven’t fixed your nasty habit.”
Standing behind Lee Bon-geun, Yun Myeong-gil spat out his words quietly. It was a tone vastly different from when they greeted each other politely a while ago.
To others, it looked like the two were not conversing but individually greeting the guests approaching from behind.
Even when alone at this party, Chairman Lee, who attracted attention, concentrated the gaze of the people thanks to his two excellent children in every important meeting, party, or event. There were quite a few people mocking this sight, comparing it to displaying two splendid trophies on either side.
The chairman unknowingly fueled the competition between his children in this way. Of course, the opinions of the parties involved were not considered.
“Just decide on one successor like me, okay?”
Yun Myeong-gil said while still turning his back.
“Isn’t it possible for anyone to leave the successor position like someone did?”
Yun Myeong-gil’s smile deepened at the chairman’s words. Since ‘someone’ he mentioned could only be one person, he smiled even more meaningfully.
“The person who left, having splendidly succeeded independently, wouldn’t he be better than these chairman’s children I’m holding onto every day?”
Responding casually, Lee Bon-geun behind him chuckled lightly.
“I believe, Chairman Yun. The one who follows me needs both ability and determination.”
Turning around, the chairman looked back at Yun Myeong-gil and smiled kindly. His expression seemed warm, like that of a friendly and kind grandfather from the neighborhood.
However, even his close aides were not deceived because they knew the snake-like nature hidden within him.
“Well, then, I’ll be going now. I was originally planning to just greet and leave.”
“For some reason, you managed to move that heavy body.”
“Hehe, take good care of my children.”
The grandfather, resolute until the end without removing his mask, left the banquet hall. People who had been watching him from the moment he entered until now, when he left, each began to add a word or two as soon as the chairman departed.
Yunseo, who had been observing from a distance, raised an eyebrow. It wasn’t because of the reason for the chairman’s departure, but suddenly, Isurin, who had changed seats unnoticed, raised a cocktail glass from afar. As if toasting.
‘Hm, what’s that again?’
People who noticed Isurin’s actions, behaving as if they were expected, included not only Yunseo but others as well. Mibon representative Lee Yun-ho, Min Hae-yeon, who had been watching Isurin with interest, and Chah Dohoon, who drank and enjoyed everything, were all there.
Dohoon’s eyes showed wrinkles.
‘What’s going on between Isurin and that guy?’
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
