After a struggle of four and a half hours, they arrived in Busan.
“Thank you for making the long journey.”
It seemed like the construction company’s manager had been waiting and greeted them warmly.
“No, not at all, Manager. The traffic was clear, so we got here smoothly.”
Smooth, yeah right.
Driving to Busan for a business trip, how absurd was that really?
As soon as Shin Yeon and Do Jun arrived, they stepped into the office without a moment to catch their breath.
They had to hurry back to Seoul after the day’s schedule.
“The car? You brought a car?”
The manager seemed a little surprised to hear that they had driven all the way to Busan.
“Yes, it just so happened…”
“Oh, the newbie must have had a hard time driving.”
In the middle of his conversation with Shin Yeon, the manager turned to Do Jun and gave him a word of thanks for his effort.
Huh? Why is it going that way?
“We took a break at a rest area on the way, so it was okay.”
Shin Yeon’s face turned pale at Do Jun’s shameless smile and response.
Hey, Seo Do Jun. What the hell are you doing? I was the one who drove the whole time!
Do Jun was smiling coolly as if nothing was wrong.
“Is he the newbie from HanShin Planning? Wow.”
“Oh my goodness.”
And the female employees, charmed by that annoying smile, murmured about Do Jun as they passed by.
“Manager Shin, are you going to check the site right away?”
“Yes. If you show us the location, we’ll check it out.”
Shin Yeon tried to calm her breathing as she thought about the amount written in the contract.
Each time she thought about the numbers, her anger seemed to fade a little.
“Please come with us. It’s not just one or two places.”
“We just need to do a simple check, and the art team will have a second meeting…”
“We can do that then. Let’s move to the site in our car. Wait in the lobby for a moment, I’ll get the key.”
“Thank you,” Shin Yeon left a light greeting, and the manager went up to the office for a while to get the car key.
Left alone with Do Jun, Shin Yeon looked around quickly and opened her mouth.
“It’s okay because we rested at a rest stop? You’ve got to be kidding me.”
“What did Shin Yeon do? The car drives itself.”
“It’s not perfect enough to make you shudder with its halfautonomy or whatever.”
But she had to admit, it was convenient.
The autonomous driving feature was much more comfortable than just driving there.
Plus, there were moments when she admired the excellent performance of the car.
Perhaps it was a drive where she felt the advancement of civilization and the greatness of capitalism.
“That’s why I bought you udon.”
Do Joon was busy reviewing the documents in the car all along.
Other than briefly stopping at a rest area for lunch, there wasn’t much conversation.
“Why did Mr. Do Joon buy it with a corporate card.”
“Well, that corporation is practically mine, isn’t it appropriate to say I bought it?”
“No, that’s not!…”
Let it go, just let it go.
As Shin Yeon, who was beaten down, shut her mouth tightly, Do Joon couldn’t hold back his laughter.
“Newbie, are you laughing now?”
“Yes. Absolutely.”
The most infuriating thing was that her brain recognized that his brightly smiling face was handsome.
Shin Yeon shook her head in selfdisgust.
She was sure she had lost her mind from driving too long.
((()))
“Although it’s not an ocean view here, it’s a welllandscaped site, so it’s fairly good.”
It was a construction site check considering the advertising concept.
They stopped by several sites, took a few photos, and only needed to check out the surrounding environment.
The art team was scheduled to revisit for the detailed parts after the review meeting, so Shin Yeon’s task was simple she only had to check and note down general comments.
“The concept of this Han Shin Construction’s brand advertisement focuses on the use of ecofriendly materials, so places like this with a rural atmosphere seem good.”
“The next location has a sea view and forest landscaping, so I think you’ll be more satisfied there?”
“I’ve seen sample pictures of that place. Let’s take a few photos here and move on right away.”
As expected, the business schedule was simple, and only about two places were left.
“Manager Shin, long time no see.”
Then, a man approached Shin Yeon.
“Huh? Director? Oh, no, you’re an executive now!”
He was an executive director at Han Shin Construction.
Shin Yeon had participated in the Han Shin Construction project since she joined the company, so she was pretty close to him.
“The construction company has now abolished ranks. And Manager Shin, you can just call me Uncle for convenience.”
“Eh, even so. What brings you to the site, though?”
“I heard that our Manager Shin came all the way to Busan, so I stopped by. How many sites are left?”
“Two!”
“Then, let’s finish up quickly and have a plate of raw fish. I’ll make a reservation at a restaurant near Gwangalli. I’ll also tell my director to let you come to work in the afternoon tomorrow.”
At his words, Shin Yeon’s eyes widened.
Sweet. Raw fish and afternoon shift tomorrow.
The executive is cool…
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
