An upscale traditional restaurant.
“Chairman. The guest has arrived.”
At the sound of the employee’s voice and the opening of the door, Jin Sung, who had been sitting, rose from his seat.
“Oh my. Executive Director Lee. It’s been a long time. How have you been?”
The person who came into the room was Lee Seung Jae, the executive director of Hyun Sung Group.
“Is there anything special about me? Have you been well without any problems, Chairman Kim?”
When Jin Sung reached out his hand, Seung Jae shook it.
After a brief handshake, the two sat down.
“Chairman Kim. Isn’t it too long since you contacted me?”
“Indeed. Thanks to Executive Director Lee, I got to participate in this project, but my greetings have been late.”
“Why would I deserve such a greeting?”
While waving his hand, a satisfied smile spread on Seung Jae’s lips.
“Why wouldn’t I know that Executive Director Lee’s help was the most significant in selecting the collaborating company.”
When Jin Sung picked up the bottle filled with alcohol, Seung Jae offered his glass.
“Let’s have a simple drink today, and I’ll treat you properly soon.”
After several rounds of drinks,
“By the way, I heard that our young Vice Chairman keeps looking into the accounting side, is that true?”
“……”
“It seems it’s true.”
Seeing him silently pouring the drink, it seemed the rumor was true.
“Why? Are you scared that the money you received from Chairman Kim might be exposed as a bribe?”
Seung Jae had received a large sum of money from Jin Sung to involve Jin Sung Group in this project.
If it hadn’t been for that money, he wouldn’t have recommended Jin Sung Group, which had nothing special compared to other companies that had applied.
No wonder Min Ha Joon kept hanging around the accounting team, which I didn’t like. Upon hearing Jin Sung’s words, an unintentionally sarcastic remark popped out.
“Oh my. Executive Director Lee. Why such bitter words?”
Jin Sung, taken aback, waved his hand.
“We’ve also properly handled the money, so there’s no chance of getting caught, but even if we did get caught, we’ve already boarded the same boat. We live together, we die together.”
Whether Jin Sung’s quick response was to his liking or not, the frown on Seung Jae’s face relaxed.
“He’s still naive about the world, wandering around like that, but I’ll have to enlighten him soon. To show him how scary the world can be.”
A chilling smile and fierce eyes filled Seung Jae’s pupils.
“Do you have a plan in mind?”
Jin Sung filled Seung Jae’s glass with alcohol.
“A plan……”
The poured drink went down his throat in one gulp.
“Is there anyone without dirt if you shake them?”
“Dirt… Do you have something on the Vice Chairman?”
Seung Jae let out a leisurely laugh.
“Well, you’ll find out soon. Let’s discuss that later, let’s get up for now.”
You’ll find out soon?
Jin Sung mulled over Seung Jae’s mysterious words, bid him farewell, and got into his car.
“Chairman. Where should I take you?”
“Home.”
Though it was still midday, fatigue was setting in from the alcohol.
Upon arriving home and entering the front door, Ji Soo, who had been sitting in the living room, greeted Jin Sung.
“Dad. You’re home already?”
“Yeah. I had a drink with Executive Director Lee, and I’m tired.”
With a thud, Jin Sung sat on the sofa, and Ji Soo, sitting next to him, asked the housekeeper to prepare honey water.
Jin Sung, who emptied a glass of honey water in an instant, opened his mouth as if he had just remembered.
“When are you starting to go to work at Hyun Sung? Is the project start date set?”
“The TF team assignment and office arrangement are still not approved, I guess.”
“……”
“I was going to visit once next week anyway.”
“To go in advance?”
“Yeah. There are limitations to finding out over the phone. I want to see Ha Joon and Ji Hoon’s faces and properly confirm the schedule.”
Jin Sung nodded, thinking it was a good idea.
“You know how much we invested to get into this project, right?”
“Of course. I know.”
“You have to pull out everything you can, information, technology. Remember, your role is the most important this time.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll learn properly so we can launch the brand without the help of other companies.”
“And……”
Jin Sung turned his gaze to check the housekeeper’s location.
Once he confirmed she was in the kitchen, Jin Sung lowered his voice and continued.
“Next main product of Hyun Sung Group, or new product design, specs, release date. Bring this information if you can.”
Jin Sung revealed his true colors that he had been hiding.
In fact, his goal was not just launching a brand.
Catching up with Hyun Sung. And going ahead of Hyun Sung.
The process of reaching the goal was not important.
What he needed was the result. Only the result.
Su Ah, who had stopped by the PR team for some data, was on her way back to the office when a familiar voice rang out.
“Ms. Su Ah.”
Just then, Yuna, who had come to the PR team, approached Su Ah.
“Are you close with Team Leader Min Ji Hoon?”
“Huh? What does that suddenly…?”
Taken aback by the abrupt question, Su Ah widened her eyes.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
