The only sounds echoing in the spacious area were Juntae sipping his tea and the tapping of Taehong’s fingers on the armrest.
The tense atmosphere, unlike the subtle mix of sounds, continued. Juntae, having finished the last sip, set down the cup.
Observing Taehong sitting across from him, Juntae tried to grasp his intentions, but the cold expression revealed nothing.
“Is it about Deputy Jeong?”
“Yes, I’m conveying Deputy Jeong’s words.”
Taehong’s forehead wrinkled when Juntae mentioned Haejin’s name. The tone that seemed indifferent as if it were not an area of concern subtly irritated him.
“Isn’t it Chairman’s decision? Please stop it now.”
Taehong had firmly grasped the reason for coming here.
“Deputy Jeong will be in charge of planning for the upcoming project.”
Juntae, seemingly unaware of this, reacted with a sudden start.
“What? Are you in your right mind?”
Juntae’s reaction was already expected. Therefore, Taehong, with a more relaxed expression, spoke.
“What’s the problem?”
“Of course, there’s a problem. What kind of planning can Deputy Jeong handle?”
That’s how he is. He was always more prone to yelling than talking, and orders came before explanations. He often ignored people and thought the world was at his feet.
“Exactly. What kind of planning can Deputy Jeong handle?”
The sudden change in attitude confused Juntae. Although he was Taehong’s son, he was a rather difficult son to deal with.
Their relationship had never been warm, and as time passed, it became increasingly difficult to treat him as a son. Even when he was young, he was not easy to handle, and as he grew older, there was no way to control him. Even his parents couldn’t find any flaws in him.
Taehong, who appeared after a long time, sat there not as Juntae’s son but as Moon Taehong, the head of the strategic planning team.
“Since Deputy Jeong is not a pushover, take her out of the line.”
Taehong began to reveal his true colors. Leaning forward and getting closer, he continued.
“I want to place her in my line.”
From this moment, he intended to cut her parachute strings. Cutting the strings attached to her shoulders might make her steps a bit lighter.
“What did Deputy Jeong say that you’re doing this?”
Regardless of being a company employee, calling him by his name without his title since earlier bothered Taehong. Only he should be able to call her by her name.
“Why did you put Deputy Jeong by my side, Chairman?”
The reason for such an obvious action was what?
“I didn’t even report my movements to you.”
Although he knew about meeting Haejin, he didn’t show any signs of it in front of Juntae. If all the sparks were to fly at Deputy Jeong now, he couldn’t guarantee how she would react.
“If you don’t want to say it, you don’t have to. I don’t particularly want to hear it either.”
Taehong, realizing that the conversation won’t progress any further, stood up from his seat.
“Since I left the seat, I hope you haven’t shown any interest in Deputy Jeong.”
As Taehong was about to lift his foot from the ground, he turned back towards Juntae once again. Clenching his fist, Taehong spoke words that had not been said before.
“Deputy Jeong’s participation in the project will continue.”
“You, you! Do you know how important this business is right now?”
“Yes, I do. I believe Deputy Jeong will handle the important aspects well.”
Now, Juntae, unable to stay still, rose from his seat, gripping the armrest tightly.
“Are you planning to ruin the company that will be handed over to you by Yeonchang Group?”
“We’re not trying to ruin it but giving an opportunity to an employee who can do better.”
“What kind of nonsense is the company playing?”
One corner of Juntae’s mouth lifted, forming a smirk.
“Yes, what kind of nonsense is the company playing? Placing a parachute on my side without considering anything.”
Juntae’s hand, holding the armrest, trembled.
“Don’t tell me you haven’t even investigated Deputy Jeong before placing her on my side?”
Juntae had no clue about what Taehong was saying.
“It seems the Chairman’s information network is not that good.”
With a perfect smirk, Taehong continued with what he wanted to say.
“I’ll handle all the backups related to the project, so there shouldn’t be any issues.”
I’ll take care of my job, so…
“Chairman, please stop now.”
It was the moment when the invisible parachute strings hanging over Haejin’s shoulders were cut off.
Jeonghaejin. Let’s switch to my team now.
As Taehong left the chairman’s office, a faint smile crossed his face unnoticed.
Juntae continued to watch Taehong’s back as he left the office. When Taehong closed the door and left, Juntae finally sat down on the sofa, seeming to have lost his strength.
His son looked unusual. Although he had an expressionless face, there was something behind the mask.
Juntae searched for what it was that annoyingly disturbed his nerves. And a strangely unsettling feeling emerged.
Moon Taehong and Jeonghaejin in a relationship?
Juntae, with a displeased expression, furrowed his brows deeply and struck the table with his fist.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
