The Problematic Helper (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 52

A luxurious whiskey bar with dark green wainscoting molding.

The Geumsa (Gold Thread) Society, an exclusive social gathering to foster connections among the children of political and business elites, was in full swing.

From the eldest son of the Minister of Justice to the heirs of Geumjeong Industries, Taesan Corporation, and LK Fashion, all the prominent young successors had gathered in one place.

Business undercurrents were quietly exchanged, and some even discussed potential marriages between families—this was that influential of a gathering.

Gi Hyeok and Ji Wan from Bando Group were also members of the Geumsa Society.

“You always act like you’re a completely different breed from the rest of us, yet Seo Ji Wan, you listen disgustingly well to the old man’s every word.”

It was Chairwoman Jang who had repeatedly called Ji Wan—who rarely attended these gatherings—and earnestly instructed him not to miss even one Geumsa meeting.

The reason was that it was an extension of business, a place to glimpse the flow of corporate management.

Far from corporate management, today Ji Wan had shown up to this place where people only bragged about how great they were because Gi Hyeok’s movements toward his people had become suspicious.

Though he wasn’t sure, there were a few of Gi Hyeok’s loose-lipped friends here who would open their mouths on their own if the mood was just right.

“I hear construction is doing amazingly well these days. Seo Ji Wan really pulled it off. Securing major overseas projects and completing the third Firstville sales—it was perfect, wasn’t it?”

It was Gi Hyeok’s sarcastic jab, clearly irritated by construction’s success.

“You’re doing so well that I’m terrified you’ll eventually see nothing at all, and one day suddenly demand something that isn’t even yours. I’m really scared to death.”

Taeyang Group’s son, Lim Geon Woo, chimed in to Gi Hyeok’s openly mocking tone.

“Come on, Senior Managing Director Seo, you have such a solid backer like Chairwoman Jang, and you’re saying things like that? You’ve got the real power of Bando behind you who isn’t easy to deal with, so what’s with the whining? Compared to you, CEO Seo is basically heading the ball on bare ground.”
