“It’s a leakage accident. The rework is inevitable, and what’s urgent is the compensation for damages. I’d like you to negotiate directly with the outlet’s representative, Attorney Choi.”
As Do Jun was on the phone with the legal advisor of Hanbit to solve the accident, the elevator arrived.
“No, first, we will agree on compensation with the outlet, and secondly, we will hold the construction company accountable. Yes, it’s serious.”
Do Jun, laughing dryly while saying so, didn’t look serious at all. Da Jung, amazed by his demeanor, pressed the floor button.
There’s a limit to being nice. No wonder he can’t refuse Director Hwang’s requests each time.
Indeed, the outlet incident was serious.
The culprit of the accident was Mansu Facilities, but the responsibility was entirely on Hanbit Architectural Office, who supervised the construction.
Hanbit had to bear the cost of the damaged goods that couldn’t be used due to flooding and the huge loss from the interrupted business days.
Of course, they would claim damages from Mansu Facilities, but the real problem started there. That’s because Director Hwang wouldn’t willingly compensate.
He messed up the construction but evaded responsibility and had the audacity to brag loudly.
It was clear that he would make a fuss, so there was a high probability that it would go to litigation.
Do Jun probably had some idea of what kind of person Director Hwang was.
“We can’t say we’re not responsible as we were negligent in management and supervision.”
Ding, the elevator door that had stopped opened. Do Jun, engrossed in his call, looked up in surprise.
He believed that the elevator would have arrived at the basement third floor where the parking lot was, but it had unexpectedly arrived at the fifth floor above ground.
Da Jung, who had silently got off first, started peering into the sports clothing store.
“Yes, of course. But they have to take responsibility for violating the contract.”
Do Jun continued his call, slowly following behind Da Jung.
“Yes, please handle that part, Attorney. I appreciate it. Goodbye.”
After finishing about a 10minute call and looking around, Da Jung was already walking towards the store across.
What Da Jung was scrutinizing were women’s sneakers.
“Are you buying sneakers?”
Do Jun’s gaze calmly asking so went to Da Jung’s sneakers. They were the sneakers he had gifted just a month ago.
There was no way the sneakers were worn out already. Was she tired of them, or did she never like them in the first place?
As he was lost in thoughts, Da Jung, who had picked one of the displayed sneakers, tried them on and said,
“It’s not for me, but for Hee Joo. Her heels are all worn out. You have no idea how pitiful it is every time I see it.”
A relieved smile appeared on Do Jun’s lips.
That made sense. There was no way Da Jung would do something like that, right in front of the person who gifted her the sneakers.
Feeling awkward about having doubted her even for a moment, Do Jun sulked unnecessarily.
“Consider the person who pays your salary a little.”
“Senior, you don’t know much, do you? This is all for you.”
Da Jung, who was trying on her sneakers, responded with a sullen look.
“Why are you buying sneakers for Hee Ju and blaming me for it?”
“What if Hee Ju hurts herself on site with her wornout sneakers? All this is to lessen your worries, senior. Can’t you understand my feelings?”
“Honestly, I can’t tell who’s the boss here.”
As Do Jun’s complaints became prolonged, sharp words were fired back at him.
“Why does senior always treat the employees badly? You don’t even dare make a peep at Man Su Equipment.”
Stung by the harsh criticism, Do Jun was left with a flushed face. It looked like this point would be brought up for at least a month.
But he didn’t really hate being scolded like this. He chuckled bitterly, wondering if he had some masochistic trait.
“As long as nobody got hurt.”
“Yes, sure, as you say.”
Da Jung shook her head as if to say there was no use arguing.
She was upset and vented, but Do Jun was right.
Problems that could be solved with money were relatively easy. If someone had been hurt, it would have been impossible to rectify.
As long as no one was hurt, that was enough.
His optimistic and kind nature could be annoying at times, but Da Jung liked that about Do Jun.
Arriving at the office, Da Jung quietly placed a shopping bag on Hee Ju’s desk.
“Hee Ju, a gift.”
“For me…? A gift?”
Hee Ju’s eyes widened. Just looking at the box, Hee Ju could guess what was inside, and was left speechless for a moment.
“I thought of you when I went to Hanareum Outlet last week. Your sneakers were quite worn out.”
“Oh my, Team Leader….”
“It’s not expensive, so don’t feel burdened.”
It wasn’t expensive. It was a pair of sneakers from a highend brand that anyone would recognize.
“Let me know if they don’t fit. I’ll get them exchanged.”
“Don’t worry. Even if they don’t fit, I’ll trim my feet to make them!”
Hee Ju, who boldly declared this, quickly took out the new sneakers and crammed her feet in.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
