Separate from the dismissal of the CEO, the executives who are the backbone of the management remained firm. Directors and department heads entered into swift responses for stabilizing the company.
Thanks to Seo Taeseok taking on the temporary CEO position without leaving the agency, the core remained unshaken. Almost no departure of other entertainers occurred, as actor Moon Seongwoo narrowly agreed to a renewed contract just before declaring free agency.
Though there were still many internal disturbances, they were quickly being addressed.
Taeseok, who attended today’s meeting, was accompanied by Moon Seonghoon. Because he willingly accepted the position of a legal advisor, there was much work for him to do in the future.
“Ji Hyeonjeong has finally found a suitable law firm. She has hired an enormous legion of lawyers.”
Moon Seonghoon said. There was nothing surprising about the expected news.
“It’s later than I thought.”
A subsequent business-like response.
“She’s preparing for an innocence claim.”
“Innocence? What nonsense!”
The former head of the marketing department slammed the desk.
“After committing such deeds, she’s trying to escape! The legal boundaries won’t be so lax!”
He had been with the company from the beginning of HJ Planning. Anger surged in him more than anyone else at the news of the embezzlement by the CEO who had shaken the company to its core. Like most middle-aged men, he regarded the company he had devoted half of his life to as a doppelganger, and the news was enraging.
“She won’t escape under any circumstances.”
Taeseok reassured him with a confident smile. Ji Hyeonjeong’s imprisonment was all but certain. Rather than wasting time with an innocence claim, it would be faster to consider how to reduce the sentence.
“We would like to handle two important things today, for now. First is the appointment of the CEO.”
The audience concentrated on Taeseok’s words.
“The second is changing the name of the planning agency. We can’t continue to be called HJ forever.”
Nods all around.
“We hope one of the three directors with the highest recognition will take on the role of CEO.”
Taeseok looked at Kim Miyeong, Choi Sunho, and Cha Miju one by one as he spoke. Although they seemed burdened, they nodded in agreement with Taeseok’s words, apparently acknowledging the content discussed previously.
“We will decide among ourselves.”
There was no worry, as they were people who could handle the position well.
“As for the company name…”
The company name.
“If Mr. Seo Taeseok has anything in mind, we’re open to anything.”
He had thought of Summer.
Naturally.
This company was founded by Seo Taeseok, and Seo Taeseok belonged entirely to Summer. Therefore, this planning agency belonged to Summer. Taeseok’s absurd way of thinking always led to this conclusion.
But if he changed it to his real name, she might not like it…
“How about… Season Entertainment?”
Taeseok smiled affectionately.
This should be absurd enough to be amusing, and she would probably be pleased with it.
“What do you think of Season Entertainment?”
They arrived in front of Summer’s house. Even though a dazzling foreign car, one of only five in the country, was parked, most of the passing residents looked sullen.
She frequents the place so often now that it’s okay. It seemed like, at first, her car and gaze attracted attention, but now it’s just a casual “Oh, her car is here again.”
Taeseok smiled thinly.
Even though he openly follows Choi Yeoreum around, it’s surprising that no scandal has surfaced. At this point, it might be better if she just voluntarily reported herself.
In the distance, Yeoreum appeared in a red coat. Her brisk steps were as light as a butterfly. When he gave her a ride, she looked like a bunch of roses. Her reddened cheeks marked the peak of freshness.
“So beautiful.”
Taeseok genuinely admired her, and Yeoreum’s cheeks turned even redder. It’s always because of Choi Yeoreum that they can’t just depart like this.
He gently pulled her closer by the nape and kissed deeply. The scent of Yeoreum, filling his mouth and heart, spread tingling sensations down to his spine. Taeseok wanted to cancel all plans and just take her home.
But still, they had to eat.
“Let’s go eat something delicious. Choi Yeoreum. A famous restaurant from a TV show.”
He detached himself deliberately and took hold of the steering wheel again. Unsatisfied with the short kiss, he wiped his lips once.
“Go to a restaurant?”
Yeoreum looked noticeably confused. Taeseok slowly raised the corner of his mouth and nodded. He understood her unease, but it was a decision to gradually break down the walls.
“Give it a try. We have a lot more to do in the future.”
For example, marriage. He swallowed the words about marriage for now, as it wasn’t the right time.
The destination was a high-end restaurant famous for its pasta. Yeoreum looked quite relieved. Perhaps she thought of a place crowded with people as a famous restaurant on TV.
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.
