“Of course, it’s not a warm and friendly atmosphere. But it’s not harsh either.”
“Do I just need to sit next to you, Team Leader?”
“Yes. Today, there are briefings on the status of each team’s tasks, so you just need to listen well to what each team is doing.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Ji Hoon spoke as if it were nothing, but Su Ah was worried that she might make a mistake.
A moment later, Ji Hoon, who was walking ahead, stopped his steps, and Su Ah, who was following, stopped as well.
Had they arrived?
She was about to lift her head to check, but Ji Hoon had already opened the door and was going in.
“Te, Team Leader. Let’s go together.”
Su Ah’s eyes widened as she followed Ji Hoon into the conference room.
The long oval table and microphones installed at each seat.
The screen and beam projector that filled the entire front.
It was exactly like the conference room she always saw on TV.
As Ji Hoon and Su Ah sat down at the place marked with the marketing team’s name, someone next to them started talking.
“Team Leader Min Ji Hoon. It looks like this is the new employee.”
“Hello……”
Su Ah, wondering if she was being talked about, tried to greet,
“Yes. This is employee Su Ah.”
Ji Hoon cut her off and spoke curtly.
“Oh! You are the winner of the recent competition, right? Nice to meet you. I’m Kim Yu Na, the team leader of the design team.”
“Yes. I’m Su Ah.”
Yu Na offered a handshake first, and Su Ah took her hand.
Su Ah’s gaze quickly scanned Yu Na.
The large facial features set in a small face and her stylish attire.
Even from a woman’s perspective, she had an attractive appearance.
As she was mesmerized by Yu Na,
“The vicepresident has arrived.”
With Secretary Park’s voice, all the team leaders in the conference room rose from their seats.
Su Ah also awkwardly stood up and looked towards the door of the conference room, soon spotting Ha Joon.
Oh, goodness. What to do about that visual.
It was the same as the sight she had seen this morning, but how could she be excited every time she saw him?
Afraid she would never be able to look away, Su Ah forced herself to shift her gaze that wouldn’t break away.
“Let’s start the meeting.”
At Ha Joon’s remark, the team leaders activated their tablets and stared at the screen.
The lights in the conference room dimmed, and the team leaders of each team came forward and started the briefing on the situation of this week.
As expected. The meetings of a large corporation were different.
Above all, the units of money coming and going were staggering.
That they could talk about such large amounts with such a calm expression.
Su Ah sent a look of admiration to each team leader, thinking they were amazing, and at the end of her gaze was Ha Joon.
‘My boyfriend really is an amazing person.’
While she was once again in awe, the lights in the conference room turned on.
“Is the list of new brands to be introduced in Hyun Sung Department Store ready?”
Ha Joon, who had been staring at the screen without saying anything, spoke up.
A red light came on Ji Hoon’s microphone.
“We have completed the analysis of brand awareness and quality through a review meeting for the brands to be introduced this time, and we are currently coordinating with three brands. Detailed information will be submitted for approval as soon as it is decided.”
“Do we have a press promotion plan for the beauty line from the PR team?”
A light came on the PR team leader’s microphone.
“Ah, it’s not finished yet. We will hurry up as much as possible……”
Ha Joon cut off the conversation as if he didn’t need to hear any more.
“Is the PR team the only one enjoying the holiday?”
“Pardon?”
The PR team leader, who didn’t grasp the meaning of the words, widened his eyes.
“It seems that only the PR team has too much leisure.”
“II’m sorry.”
The head of the PR team dropped to the floor.
“Taking a long vacation at this time might be a good idea.”
A long vacation.
There was no way the team leaders wouldn’t understand the meaning of those words, which even Su Ah, a newbie, quickly caught on to.
Although he didn’t express his anger greatly, Ha Joon’s low voice and expression were enough to show his fury.
After a fierce storm swept through the place.
The team leaders only swallowed their dry saliva with stern expressions.
Tension slipped down Su Ah’s throat as well.
Ah, now she seemed to understand.
Why he was called an ice pick.
Why the vice president’s office was called a freezer.
Not just the vice president’s office, the conference room was also a freezer.
The conversation the employees had in the morning was proven to be true through a single meeting.
The meeting continued after that, and Ha Joon pointed out issues from each department, and it was a mystery how he remembered all that content.
That way, minutes passed like hours.
“Let’s end the meeting.”
The meeting ended with a single word from Ha Joon.
Unhappy with the content of the meeting, Ha Joon left the conference room with a dissatisfied expression.
As soon as the door closed, deep sighs burst from all over the conference room.
“Cheer up. This is not just for a day or two.”
The team leaders, still with their heads down, patted the shoulders of the PR team leader, who was still sitting, and conveyed their own comfort before leaving the conference room.
“I’ll stop by the PR team for a bit, you go ahead to the office.”
While sorting out the pad he was holding, Ji Hoon tilted his head towards Su Ah and spoke in a low voice.
Apparently, he seemed to be worried that his casual talk might be overheard by other team leaders.
“Then, I’ll go ahead.”
With a light greeting, Su Ah hurriedly left the conference room.
‘Phew. It was a meeting I really didn’t want to participate in again.’
The fierce expression of Ha Joon, which she had never seen before, and his cold tone of voice kept coming to mind, and Su Ah’s expression sank heavily.
“Miss Su Ah, do you have any plans after work today?”
As she entered the office with a heavy heart, an unexpected question came flying.
“Plans? Why?”
“There was talk of having a welcome party and a dinner for the team leader while we were discussing, so I’m asking.”
A welcome party. A welcome party for me, no less.
Since she had never experienced one before, her heart, which had been heavy until a while ago, began to flutter as if it had floated into thin air.
“I have no plans today.”
Even if I did, I don’t.
Su Ah revealed her firm will with her tightly closed lips.
“Ah, that’s a relief. So, shall we proceed with the dinner today?”
“Yes, sounds good.”
And so, the marketing team’s dinner was decided.
