“Did the other collectors receive the documents as well?”
During the summer, she was on the phone with Lawyer Park in Busan in her room.
“I confirmed it. The CEO of Uarim Resort also personally apologized over the phone and promised repeatedly that there would be no disadvantages in the future. You will start working from next week.”
“That’s good.”
“Everyone is grateful to you. More than anything, those arrogant people knelt down and apologized, saying you were right. It seems that all the grievances you had so far have been resolved.”
Summer couldn’t help but laugh at Lawyer Park’s refreshing laughter.
“Of course, that’s how it should be.”
“What about the lawsuit now?”
“I have to follow through since the promises were kept in PR. What do the others think?”
“Definitely do as you say. We reached a good agreement, so there won’t be any other words.”
“That’s fortunate. Lawyer, please handle the lawsuit from Kang Haeun.”
“Got it. Take care of that. You’ve really worked hard during this time.”
“You too, Lawyer.”
“But, Summer.”
“Yes.”
“I heard from Mirae that you’re the heiress of the PR Group. That’s why you went up to Seoul now. Your suffering must be beyond words, is it true?”
“It’s strangely true.”
“…Is that really so?”
“My grandmother is Chairman Kang Ju-hwa of the PR Group. Even you must find it unbelievable, right?”
“Really surprising. How did that happen…?”
“That’s right. Anyway, I’m determined to endure it until the end.”
“If you ever need my help, feel free to call.”
Summer, who was smiling widely, replied, “Thank you.”
“Okay, take care.”
With a short comfort, Lawyer Park hung up.
“Now, should I write something before going to work?”
She sat at her desk and opened her laptop.
After stretching her fingers, she quickly typed on the keyboard.
She wrote about receiving a sincere apology from the PR Group and reaching a smooth agreement, announcing that she would now take down the ‘Resort Wine Lady’ video.
“…Oh, I’m going to die.”
Barely managing to leave the bedroom, Jeong Mi almost lay down on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.
Haeun next to her was in a similar state.
The maid passing by at that moment said to Haeun, “Aren’t you going to work? Miss Summer has already left.”
Haeun replied with an irritated expression, “Am I supposed to compare myself to some part-time job? Also, how am I supposed to go to work when my whole body is in pain?”
“Miss Park, is our Haeun like Summer, who has an ignorant body? She is delicate. And do you know how many times she kneeled and apologized in front of those vulgar people yesterday? It’s not just about the body; the mental shock is also significant. If our daughter develops trauma from this, will you take responsibility?”
“I’m expressing my concern because I’m worried.”
“What?”
“In the current situation, I’m deeply worried whether it’s okay for us to be like this.”
“Miss Park, I’m Kang Haeun. The Chairman’s niece! Who dares to say anything to me!”
“Do as you please.”
Instead of saying anything else, Miss Park left the room.
“Mom, I really wish Mrs. Park would be fired. Lately, the way Jung Yeoreum acts in front of her is completely disgraceful.”
“Just words.”
The two women glared at Mrs. Park.
“But, Mom, my back really hurts. I feel like I’m going to die.”
“Don’t speak. Not only my back but it feels like my knees gave out too.”
Both of them groaned simultaneously.
Blue House employees, who had been secretly watching, smirked.
Only Jeong Ran and Hye Sook were massaging their shoulders and shaking their heads.
“But, why doesn’t Sofia show her face in this mess?”
“Our little sister has always been shameless.”
“Well…”
While the two of them were criticizing Sofia, urgent footsteps were heard.
Hastily descending the stairs from the second floor was Sofia.
“Even our little sister can’t behave like a lady.”
“That’s right.”
While the two were mocking her, Sofia shouted.
“Mom, something big happened!”
“What is it?”
“There’s an urgent personnel change! Our Inpyo has been demoted to the Marketing Team 2 Manager!”
“What?”
Surprised Jeong Mi sat up straight.
“Sister, what about me? Am I there too by any chance?”
“Miss, you’ve been demoted to an ordinary employee too!”
“…That can’t be true!”
“That’s right! What kind of situation is this? How can he be demoted from an executive to a manager overnight?”
“Why Inpyo? What’s the reason for the disciplinary action?”
“It’s for abuse of authority.”
“…What?”
“There’s evidence that he blocked Chairman’s view of Miss’s video. The legal director reported it.”
Jeong Mi held her head in her hands.
“What about our Haeun?”
“Charged with damaging the company’s honor. And on top of that, it’s said that her father will resign from the position of CEO.”
“What?”
“It hasn’t been finalized yet, but that’s what they say.”
“This insane person! In this situation, he’s throwing away his position as CEO on his own? Even if he tells me to leave, I would definitely stand my ground and cover for Inpyo and Haeun!”
“That’s right! Our father seems really crazy!”
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.”
