Smartphones were distributed to the people attending the presentation, and the catalog’s screen was displayed on the display.
“Now, turn on the lights, use your smartphones to take pictures of your feet, and experience trying on Do Won Outlet’s shoe products.”
It was possible to wear digitally rendered shoes while the camera was focused on one’s own legs and view them from various angles.
“For clothing, there are two scanning methods: using the smartphone camera function to scan the entire body or using the scanner installed in the outlet store.”
“Oh! This is fun. It recognizes much better than the samples before.”
“The UI is user-friendly. I’m looking forward to the completion.”
“How do you feel about it, Director Jaekyung Do?”
Manager Kim from Do Won Distribution asked Jaekyung a question. Jaekyung made eye contact with Bomi beyond the phone and looked at the confident Bomi with a satisfied expression.
She acts better than I thought, and she’s confident.
Jaekyung’s mouth curled up gently.
“It’s good. Since it’s still in the demo stage, it would be great to see data on overall capacity and the time it takes for the app to start. Even though it’s in the early stages, there’s no discomfort, and I have high expectations.”
“Thank you.”
When Bomi greeted with a smile, Gayoung’s hands trembled.
This can’t be happening…
“If there are no further questions, we will finish here. Thank you.”
When Bomi greeted, applause echoed. Gayoung, with determination, grabbed Bomi’s wrist.
“President Han Bomi. There seemed to be a problem in the morning. What happened?”
In response to Gayoung’s question, Bomi smiled professionally.
“A problem? Was there a problem?”
“Well, there was a virus on the server…”
Unconsciously blurting out the words, Gayoung covered her mouth with her hand.
“A virus?”
Pretending not to hear correctly, Bomi asked with a nonchalant expression.
“That… there was a problem with the server this morning because of a virus, I heard.”
“There was a problem.”
Bomi’s gaze sharply lit up.
“But how did Yeon Gayoung team leader know if it was related to a virus or not?”
Gayoung’s palms became sweaty, and the corners of her lips dried up. Could that woman be suspecting me?
“Ah… I heard that such things happen a lot in the ICT industry.”
“Yes, that’s true.”
Nodding, Bomi smiled and added with a smirk.
“I almost suspected if Team Leader Yeon Gayoung had something to do with the virus. Luckily, that’s not the case.”
“Are you kidding…? That’s nonsense.”
Calm down, Gayoung. I didn’t touch anything. There’s no way she could find out.
Swallowing hard, Gayoung rolled her eyes.
“Right? There’s no way the team leader would harm the team. Right?”
“Team Leader Yeon Gayoung, if there’s someone intentionally trying to ruin the precious project that Narae Creative employees worked overtime to prepare.”
Bomi’s sharp gaze stared at Gayoung while smiling.
“I won’t just stand by.”
Overwhelmed by Bomi, Gayoung unconsciously took a step back.
“What… What are you saying? It has nothing to do with me.”
Gayoung turned away with a forced cough.
“Well. Good job on the presentation today, President Han Bomi.”
“You’ve worked hard too, Team Leader.”
Swallowing her boiling anger, Bomi greeted Gayoung with a forced smile.
She wanted to grab Gayoung’s collar right away, but there was no conclusive evidence that Gayoung had done anything.
“Yeon Gayoung Team Leader is definitely hindering our project.”
The suspicion that Yeon Gayoung had failed in her plan before the presentation worried Bomi. She was concerned that if Gayoung knew about the virus, she might resort to drastic measures.
Gayoung accidentally revealed that she knew about the virus, but that alone was not enough to incriminate her.
Bomi, feeling tangled in her thoughts, raised her hand and wiped her throat.
The man Jaekyung secured last night was from the Hwangdo Construction Resort team.
“How did you know the password? Did you also delete the initial version data? What guarantees did you get from Hwangdo Construction?”
“I don’t know anything.”
The man pretended not to know in response to Bomi’s question.
“I don’t know what you got from Hwangdo Construction, but I’m also someone who can cut your lifeline.”
The man seemed flustered by Jaekyung’s question, lowering his eyes.
“That… Well.”
“The virus-infected USB. It came out of your pocket. Why did you do such a thing? Who ordered you?”
“I… I…”
“If this project fails, you could be held responsible for it. Can you compensate for the entire investment?”
“Heh, well…”
Frightened by Jaekyung’s words, the man tried to find a way out.
“I’ll tell you. I was paid to plant the virus, and they said they would give me money… I bought the password from Hyunmin. He’s in debt due to online gambling.”
The man intentionally approached Hyunmin, a Narae Creative employee he got information about while interacting with other employees.
“He also deleted the data.”
When male lead is the homewrecker
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
I’ve read the novel below twice already. Girls, I’m highly recommending it to you!
The female lead? Not a good person.
The second male lead? Not a good person.
The male lead? Willingly plays the third party, breaking up the female and second male lead’s relationship despite all the warnings from his friends—so yeah, he’s definitely not a good person either.
Basically, nobody in this novel is simple-minded or without scheming.
The female lead starts off as the male lead’s secretary, but don’t worry—later on, she takes over the company while the male lead steps back to support her. He won’t steal her spotlight, overshadow her, or dull her shine.
I love novels where men are out here snatching wigs, tearing each other down, and going to war just to win the female lead’s affection. And this is exactly that kind of novel. Most of Hai Dai Ran’s works have this dynamic. You’ll see the male characters’ emotions being pushed to the absolute extreme.
There’s even a scene where the second male lead exposes the male lead online for being a homewrecker. The brotherhood immediately gangs up on him, dragging him through the mud. I find it compelling —it completely flips reality on its head, where usually, women are the ones fighting over a man and getting torn apart by the sisterhood.
For me, female leads in the novels I read should only struggle in their careers, not in love. But if the brainless romantics in the story are all men? I have zero complaints.
I’ve pretty much read all of Hai Dai Ran’s novels and even translated all of them—her works are just my thing. I’ll slowly upload everything here. One day, when my website is official, I hope I can invite her to join as one of the star authors.
Here’s the story synopsis:
One-line summary: She is his lifelong obsession, to the point where he was willing to be a third wheel, scorned by society, just to wedge his way into her relationship with her fiancé.
Cold-hearted and indifferent female lead + Scheming and subservient CEO male lead
Intro 1:
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
With blood trickling from his clenched fist, Rong Xiu gazed at the woman before him, his eyes clouded with anguish. Hidden in the wardrobe, he had witnessed Fan Xia – the woman he desperately loved – in an intimate embrace with her fiancé. Yet his heart still yearned for her, defying all reason.
Fan Xia, the elegant and composed assistant, carried something mysterious in her eyes whenever she looked at her fiancé, Wen Lan Sheng. Strange occurrences began to surface – secret meetings with the young Gu Jin Yi, an unexplained withdrawal of 5,000 yuan… Then suddenly, her fiancé’s sister, Wen Jing, violently attacked her.
In this matriarchal society, Rong Xiu had risen to become the chairman of a powerful healthcare conglomerate, breaking through gender prejudices. But for the first time, he willingly stepped into the shadows as the other man, disregarding his friends’ warnings to become her secret lover.
Because he had discovered the truth – Fan Xia wasn’t the pure angel everyone believed her to be. And perhaps, he was the only one capable of helping her execute her mysterious plan…
Intro 2:
Rong Xiu’s biggest regret in life was missing out on Fan Xia.
He secretly loved Fan Xia for 7 years.
Watched her go public with her boyfriend.
Watched her kiss her boyfriend at their wedding.
Until that man blissfully nestled in Fan Xia’s arms, obtaining everything he could only dream of.
The crazy jealousy stripped away his hidden secret love, layer by layer, burning like wildfire.
Fan Xia, how can I have you!
