“In the past, only the best ingredients came in as per Chairman’s orders, but currently, different ingredients are coming in for family members and employees. What you saw, Miss, was for the employees.”
“Ingredients come differently for family members and employees?”
“Yes.”
Yeoreum went straight to the refrigerator, opened the door, and took out the meat. It was a dark, almost blackish color.
The cooking team watched silently as Yeoreum checked the ingredients.
Yeoreum, who had checked everything, from soy sauce to vinegar, sighed briefly and said, “Chef Baek and all of you have worked hard. Making delicious dishes with poor ingredients requires much more effort.”
“No, it’s not.”
Yeoreum looked at Chef Baek and said, “I’m sorry. But it’s difficult for me to change it right away.”
“Understood.”
“But at least now I know, right?”
“Yes, Miss.”
Chef Baek smiled brightly.
Yeoreum nodded lightly and left without saying anything else.
The cooking team quickly gathered around Chef Baek.
“Miss seems quite upset, doesn’t she?”
“Isn’t she?”
“Even so, it would be difficult to complain to the big lady about this, right?”
“That’s right.”
“But I somehow look forward to it. It’s Miss Yeoreum, after all.”
The youngest member of the cooking team said.
“Actually, I feel the same way.”
The cooking team silently chuckled, looking towards the entrance.
Instead of what Lee Seok was saying, the future prospects of the group were very optimistic.
According to his explanation, the screen of the project displayed magnificent renderings, and the executives in the meeting room listened attentively.
“So, we need to make more bold and aggressive investments in technological development.”
As the concluding statement was made, the meeting room brightened.
Executives who rose from their seats clapped enthusiastically.
Seok’s face wrinkled as he looked at their satisfied expressions.
Then, Sanha, who was sitting and dozing off again, caught his eye.
But he decided to ignore it.
His father sitting in the chairman’s seat seemed very satisfied.
At that moment, Director Kim entered with a knock.
His anxious expression hinted at bad news.
“Chairman, there was an accident at the Geoje factory a while ago.”
“What accident?”
“Two of our employees and three employees from a partner company collapsed due to gas leakage in the valve cleaning area. Zone 1 is contaminated.”
The executives in the meeting room stood up straight involuntarily.
It was a major accident.
“How are the employees?”
“We need an accurate diagnosis, but as of now, they are all unconscious, and especially one employee from the partner company is reported to have had a heart attack.”
“Wait. In the cleaning section? Isn’t it dangerous there, and there should be only skilled regular employees? Suddenly having a partner company employee there?”
Director Kim couldn’t answer immediately.
“Tell me straight. Why was there a partner company employee?”
“It seems to have been changed recently for cost reduction in personnel expenses, according to the Strategic Planning Office’s instruction.”
“Who ordered such a change?”
“Well, that, it seems to have been instructed for cost reduction.”
The angry gaze of the former chairman turned towards Lee Seok.
“You?”
Flustered, Lee Seok couldn’t respond.
“Who made that change on their own? Don’t you know that cleaning requires skilled technicians? You should save money when it’s necessary! Is it you?”
The furious former chairman slammed the table.
Due to that, Sanha opened her eyes.
Since everyone around was frozen, she cautiously asked Isa, who was beside her,
“What’s going on?”
He whispered in Sanha’s ear,
“There’s been an accident at the Geoje factory.”
Meanwhile, Chairman Gu slammed the table, shouting at Lee Seok,
“Putting a rookie who knows nothing in a place where the top experts should work caused the accident!”
“…I’m sorry.”
At that moment, Moon Isa, known as Lee Seok’s left arm, stepped forward and defended him,
“Chairman, Director, Vice President instructed to put only simple labor workers from partner companies into the Geoje factory. But it was the factory manager there who forced this.”
“That’s right. Blame the factory manager.”
Director Jang also agreed. He was known as Lee Seok’s right-hand man.
“No, it’s mainly my fault. Chairman, I will take responsibility and manage the situation. I’m sorry.”
Lee Seok bowed, apologizing.
Chairman Gu, breathing heavily, said,
“Find out the cause of the accident and handle it properly.”
“Understood.”
Chairman Gu left the conference room in anger.
“Vice President, are you okay?”
The executives surrounded Lee Seok, consoling him.
“Shouldn’t I go to Geoje now?”
Lee Seok responded, looking at the approaching Sanha.
“Why should I go there?”
“Why? When the lives of employees are at risk, the person in charge should go, apologize, and handle the situation, right?”
“Who said I’m in charge?”
“Aren’t you?”
“There’s a factory manager there.”
Sanha answered.
“Didn’t Geoje factory undergo a reorganization this time? That’s a project from the Strategic Planning Office, right?”
“I just pointed out a few areas to improve. But why would I be responsible? Chairman, do you really know what you’re talking about?”
Annoyed, Lee Seok went out.
The executives who followed him said,
“Vice President, should we request workers’ compensation?”
“Why would you do that? Admitting a mistake in the company with workers’ compensation is acknowledging a company error, isn’t it?”
The executives immediately reacted to Lee Seok’s response.
“That’s right, sir. But you know, if there’s an audit from the Ministry of Labor, dealing with it afterward is a big hassle.”
“That’s true.”
“But, Vice President, the union won’t stay quiet. Five people are seriously injured.”
“Whatever they demand, squeeze some settlement money and cover it up.”
“The union will definitely not let it go, right?”
“Then, blame it entirely on those people’s fault, and threaten them legally and criminally so that they can’t make a fuss.”
“That’s right. After all, suppressing the union with money and power is the best.”
They carefully chose words that suited Lee Seok’s mood and followed him.
Watching them, Sanha murmured lightly, “This will cause even bigger trouble.”
Sanha, who was watching that scene, lightly muttered, “This will cause even bigger trouble.”
After passing the lunchtime peak, the cafe quickly became quiet. While people were passing by and cleaning the store, Summer wiped the outdoor tables. At that moment, a black sedan stopped right in front of the cafe.
‘Not even a parking lot.’
Summer frowned as the sedan encroached on the sidewalk where people were passing by. However, the woman coming out of the driver’s seat and the young woman coming out of the rear door, opening it briskly, were both familiar faces.
The insolent pearl earrings she had encountered at Briong!
Perhaps because of Summer’s gaze, she turned her head. Wearing a cafe uniform from head to toe, she scanned Summer and then chuckled.
‘What a nerve.’
Summer didn’t want to lose her good personality because of such a woman. She pretended not to notice and focused on wiping the tables with a cloth.
However, the clacking sound of high heels approached again. She came with the sound of elegant footsteps, and her secretary followed her like a shadow.
“That’s right, isn’t it?”
The voice coming from her pretty lips was pleasant to hear, but there was a mocking undertone.
“What are you talking about?”
“The maid from the Blue House.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
