The 7-Day Contract (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 64

“Grandmother? Nothing special to report?”

Jeong Hyeok asked absentmindedly while flipping through documents awaiting his approval. Director Min, unable to instantly grasp the intent behind the question, remained silent—and Jeong Hyeok’s eyes flicked upward.

“That matter I mentioned. It’s been ages since I whispered it into the old lady’s ear. Why’s the report so delayed?”

Only then did Director Min recall the topic and let out a brief sigh: “Ah.” The verbal report followed immediately.

“My apologies. I’ve been overwhelmed lately, hence the delay. As you anticipated, Chairwoman Park visited the kindergarten. There was a minor commotion, though…”

“Understood.”

Jeong Hyeok cut off Director Min’s sentence, as if there were no need to hear further. Merely hearing that Chairwoman Park had paid a visit to the kindergarten was enough for him to infer everything.

She would’ve delivered a sharp punishment to the trio of “witches” who tormented her great-grandson. She certainly wouldn’t have omitted a stern warning. And once everything was settled, she’d have handed out carrots—sweetening the deal with gentle persuasion.

Publicly, Chairwoman Park was praised as a principled leader who treated talent well and maintained clear standards of reward and punishment. Yet in Jeong Hyeok’s experience, no individual possessed such striking duality as she did.

She was fiercely conservative yet remarkably innovative; seemingly impartial, yet blatantly biased at times. She appeared overflowing with kindness and compassion, yet could be as cold and sharp as a blade—and just as unforgiving, despite seeming generous.

Moreover, her affection toward descendants bordered on the extraordinary—after all, she had already declared Yoo Si Woo the rightful heir of the Cha family lineage. Once touched, she wouldn’t simply stand by and watch.

In any case, thanks to that incident, Yoo Si Woo’s status at the kindergarten had been more or less cemented. Now it was the adults’ turn to tread carefully. No adult would dare hurt that child again—even accidentally.

“How’s the preparation for the duty-free shop’s overseas expansion coming along?”

At Executive Managing Director Cha’s query, Director Min instantly fetched the relevant documents.
