“Hobak Witch, if you were a character in a drama broadcast on the platform, viewers would watch the drama and then talk about the scarf you are wearing. Isn’t the scarf pretty? Then, they would immediately take out their phones and use the AR camera to shoot the TV screen. The AI system would then connect all the online shops selling that product worldwide.”
“I don’t know about that.” Sukyung flicked her ear as if uninterested.
“So, how is the schedule?”
“The acquisition of the OTT company is informally confirmed. We need to establish a corporation first before the formal contract is signed. And then, there’s the technical patent and listing on the New York Stock Exchange. With no time to spare, those fools are shaky. As far as I know, there’s no local expert in the TF team, and we need to quickly recruit someone to lead the team.”
Sukyung, with a puzzled face, rested her chin on her hand.
Should she go or not? If she gets geographically distant, that man will eventually be forgotten.
“How much will you pay?”
“The same as you used to receive.”
“I won’t do it.”
Sukyung decisively declined. Jounghyuk, who was wriggling in frustration, offered a compromise.
“+3%.”
“7%.”
“5%.”
After hesitating for a moment, Sukyung shouted decisively, “Call.”
Satisfied with the compromise, Jounghyuk took out his phone and made a call somewhere.
“Manager Min. Do you have the documents we created for the recruitment of Hobak, no, Ms. Isukyung? We’ll sign them soon, so print them out and have them ready.”
He conveyed the matter clearly and ended the call.
Although he didn’t show it, Junghyuk finally felt relieved. If Sukyung joins the team, the local procedures can be completely trusted and delegated to her. She is an expert familiar with the local situation.
“By the way, whose birthday is it today?”
Sukyung gestured to the cake box. As the sweet aroma of chocolate wafted gently, Junghyuk’s gaze naturally turned to the cake box. A soft smile spread across his lips.
“Just because. My son said he wanted to eat it.”
When she received an urgent call and arrived at the kindergarten, the quiet son-in-law felt a bit unfamiliar.
It was because the kindergarten hadn’t ended yet, and the children were actively participating in classes in their classrooms.
Dajeong headed straight to the principal’s office. On the way, she noticed some people in police uniforms lingering in the hallway.
With anxious lips, she knocked on the door in front of the principal’s office, and a voice from inside told her to come in. Oh, it was clearly the principal’s voice, but there was something solemn about it.
Dajeong cautiously pushed the door and entered. When she appeared, the attention of many people focused on her.
Hyuna guarded the sofa, and two men sitting side by side diagonally caught her eye. They were men with sharp impressions and keen eyes. They looked familiar.
On the opposite side, the teacher in charge of the Rabbit Class and the physical education teacher in charge of the soccer class were sitting side by side. Dajeong couldn’t understand what was going on.
“Principal. What’s going on? What happened to our Siwoo?”
Because her child had an incident, she received a call asking her to come to the kindergarten immediately.
As Dajeong asked, Hyuna, who had been staring into space, sighed deeply. Then, she slowly turned her gaze and shot Dajeong a pitiful look.
“Mom. Today, we need to talk as the chairman of Hansong Private Kindergarten.”
The face that hesitated while looking noble was so contemptuous that it seemed to crush Dajeong. But at the moment, there was no room to indulge in personal emotions.
“Enough, and why can’t I see Siwoo? What does it mean that I can’t meet my child?”
Hyuna cut in sharply.
“Now, I can’t let you meet the child.”
Hyuna said sharply.
“What does that mean?”
Why she couldn’t meet her child, Dajeong couldn’t fathom at all. Hyuna’s eyes focused on her as if she could see through her. The hatred emanating from her distorted eyes was intense.
“Why did you do that? Why did you, a person called Mom, wield violence against a powerless child? Where is there to hit that little child……”
Hyuna, as if unable to continue speaking, grabbed her chest and took a breath. Looking at her who seemed to be in agony, Dajeong could only purse her lips. It felt like she had fallen into another world.
“I… I don’t understand what you’re talking about right now.”
She meant it. Unable to understand anything, one of the police officers intervened and added an explanation.
“Ms. Yoo Dajeong, signs of multiple assaults were found on Yoo Siwoo’s body. The teachers here have also testified that they witnessed traces of abuse on the child’s body several times.”
“Abuse…? Testimonies? Lies…”
Dajeong looked at the two teachers as if she couldn’t believe them. What exactly did they see?
“So… are you saying that I hit my child?”
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.”
