As Danwoo entered the meeting room where Haesong Group’s shareholders’ meeting was taking place, all eyes focused on him.
Soon, whispers circulated, creating a buzz inside the room.
As the illegitimate child of Chairman Woo Soo-ho, Danwoo becoming the largest shareholder garnered dissatisfaction from many. However, ignoring him, the holder of the largest stake, was a task easier said than done.
As the time for the shareholders’ meeting approached, the once-empty seats gradually filled up.
Right on time, the doors of the conference room closed ominously, and the host announced the start of the shareholders’ meeting.
“Starting the Haesong Group shareholders’ meeting now. The first agenda is the motion to dismiss Representative Woo Soo-ho.”
The main agenda of the shareholders’ meeting was the dismissal of Woo Soo-ho from his representative position and the appointment of a new representative. Additionally, there was a scheduled vote on the dismissal of the heads of affiliated companies owned by the Sa family.
As the largest shareholder, Danwoo exercised his voting rights, previously discussed with Executive Director Lee Kyung-in.
For both creditors and shareholders, appointing a new CEO for Haesong Group was more critical than ever.
Since Haesong Group was on the verge of a massive workout (corporate improvement operation), the position of the new CEO was as challenging and weighty as it could get.
The newly appointed CEO, Lee Kyung-in, approached Danwoo.
“Thank you. After meeting Chairman Woo, I’ve been holding back my feelings.”
“Let’s see what extraordinary values Haesong Group possesses.”
Danwoo conveyed his inner thoughts, alluding to what he had said earlier.
“…Are you really not interested in Haesong Group’s management?”
Danwoo fixed his gaze on the representative who consistently used polite language towards him.
Then, he recalled a report about him.
Even though he had raised objections to Chairman Woo Soo-ho’s management style, he had been defined as a person who adhered to Chairman Woo Soo-ho’s philosophy, apologizing sincerely for any wrongdoings and overcoming crises head-on.
Danwoo cleared his mind and spoke.
“Shouldn’t the person overcoming the current crisis at Haesong be someone passionate about it? I am someone filled with dissatisfaction rather than passion.”
“Please watch. I will definitely restore Haesong to its original position.”
“I’ll believe it when I see it.”
Even though he became the CEO, he bid farewell to Danwoo, who was leaving the shareholders’ meeting, with a confident greeting.

Leaving the shareholders’ meeting, Danwoo headed to the prison.
“Why on earth does this guy want to see you? After all, he participated in Haesong Group’s recovery efforts. He wouldn’t just spout nonsense, right?”
Taeyun was busy driving, speculating on Woo Soo-ho’s intentions in requesting a special solo visit.
Danwoo could only anticipate what Woo Soo-ho would say, knowing that he wasn’t a person who spoke kindly.
As Danwoo entered the special visitation room in the prison, Chairman Woo Soo-ho, dressed in prison attire and handcuffed, entered.
Woo Sun-ho looked so healthy that it was hard to believe he was a person incarcerated in prison. Moreover, there was no sign of remorse for his crimes.
He gazed at Danwoo with an intense stare, awkwardly breaking into a smile.
“You came?”
“Do you have something to say?”
As Sun-ho pondered what more he could say to me, a sinister voice scattered through the air.
“I wonder why Ji Hyesoo gave birth to you. Now, there’s no one else who knows the truth but me. No, your mother should know.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Your mother probably won’t tell the story herself.”
As if proving that Sun-ho’s words were not wrong, Danwoo’s forehead crinkled in an instant.
Hyesoo and Soo-ho. In other words, if you weren’t curious about why such an existence was born between my mother and father, it was a lie.
Moreover, my mother was much younger than Chairman Soo-ho. She was almost like a daughter.
“Your maternal grandparents ran a restaurant. It was a reasonably sized ordinary restaurant, but your father really liked the food there. Your maternal aunt was born and raised in Gyeongsang-do, so the food wasn’t fancy, but it was spicy and flavorful. But it didn’t suit me.”
Sun-ho made a face as if to say, ‘What do you think? Do you want to keep listening?’ He paused and then continued.
“One day, your father, who had returned from a business trip to the United States, visited the restaurant late at night. Apparently, he didn’t find American food to his liking. There was a memorial service, and your parents happened to go to the restaurant in their hometown because you, their daughter, were alone there.”
Sun-ho began to tell an old story with a mocking expression that seemed to ridicule Chairman Soo-ho.
Coincidentally, the food that Suho wanted to eat after returning from the United States was a porridge made with kimchi and bean sprouts. It was a dish called ‘gaengjuk’ in Gyeongsang-do dialect.

Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
