“I…uh…”
Jeonghwa, who was about to leave the office from the sofa, remained standing and stared at Wonhoo.
Four years had passed in solar years.
Thirteen seasons had changed, so her disappointment, or feelings of betrayal, should have been somewhat diluted. Jeonghwa, who had hoped for this and anxiously waited for Tae Seo Jun’s discharge, nonchalantly asked about his wellbeing with her bright red lips.
“You’ve been discharged and have done a few ads since, even started doing dramas you’ve never done before. Mr. Seo Jun, you must be incredibly busy these days?”
“……”
As if asking why she asked while knowing the answer, Wonhoo responded by shrugging his broad shoulders.
“CEO, are you really doing this while you clearly know why I am acting this way?”
“Well, I’m not sure.”
The moment she arrived here, she knew something was off. This was it.
The bright smile of the former CEO, who denies knowing while knowing, was a business smile.
As soon as Yu Jeonghwa left, Wonhoo who entered the elevator immediately contacted the director using a break. It was much more convenient and familiar to call the henchman who moved as one with Tae Seo Jun.
“Where is Director Tae?”
He’s in the back seat of the car. Shall I tell him to contact you?
“No. Please do it now.”
Yes.
Soon, Seo Jun’s voice was heard, indicating the speakerphone was connected immediately.
Hey. It’s me.
“Yu Jeonghwa came to the company. She said she wanted to sign an exclusive contract with CN, so I refused.”
So?
“It seems like that woman still sees you as her man. You don’t, do you?”
……
Seo Jun consistently responded with silence, which was not even a short answer.
“Anyway, just so you know. I’m hanging up now.”
Ok.
In the basement parking lot, a highend sedan with the engine running was already waiting.
As soon as Wonhoo got off the elevator and hurriedly got in the car, the secretary, who ordered the driver to leave immediately, informed the CEO about the situation, where not even a second could be wasted.
“We might miss the flight, CEO.”
“That can’t happen.”
When Wonhoo responded with a grin, showing his neat teeth, the driver increased the speed of the car skillfully.
Time was tight.
But the savvy driver was bound to complete his task on time, no matter what.
Wonhoo, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, had the secretary read the world tour contract that would be signed in Hong Kong. The contents were obvious, but the more so, the more thoroughly they had to prepare to avoid mistakes.
“Corporation , as ‘Party A’, entrusts all the world tour schedules and performance event rights to ‘Party B’, . If an event is interrupted, ‘Party A’ must compensate unconditionally……”
“Wait. ‘Party A’, and then ‘unconditionally’? Change the party making compensation to ‘the party responsible for the interruption’ and proceed.”
“CEO, that’s the same for other planning companies participating in the tour……”
“So we have to be dragged along with them? Oh dear, I can’t do that.”
“So what are you going to do?”
“Do you think even half of the seats in that big stadium will be filled without our kids in that concert?”
When Wonhoo hinted that if they don’t modify that part, they will hold a CN solo concert in the same area on the same day, the secretary’s face turned serious.
“But that would be against good faith……”
Goo Wonhoo, a businessman to the bone, was not easygoing.
As the person who turned crises into opportunities and rapidly grew the company in just five years, just hearing about CEO Goo in the industry made people tonguetied.
A natural businessman, or perhaps a beast specialized in business.
“Who pushed forward a contract that violates good faith first. We’ll just watch and talk when we need to. Let’s see what comes from their side.”
In other words, wait until the other party is struggling and then, like a ‘Party A’, just sign the contract at the right time.
The CN Family wasn’t a small circus troupe, it was definitely a card with a good chance of winning.
If CEO Goo kicked away the rolling fortune, I won’t feel sorry.
Just closing my eyes once and catering to their needs would have the chaebols opening their wallets wide. Because such things are not even work.
However, the reason Jeonghwa felt bitter was because part of the plan to win back Tae Seo Jun had been twisted. What was more annoying was that the girl who wasn’t even comparable was not only a CN affiliated actress but also appeared in the same work as Tae Seo Jun.
Dare to cross my man again?
Many years had passed, well over three, since that day in the El Stella Hotel, a day Jeong Hwa knew marked the end of an era for the two of them.
She had followed Eom So Yeon in an underhanded manner to learn of it, but she was rather pleased with the result.
The day she bumped into him at the hotel was barely a month after she and Tae Seo Jun had broken up, so she must have been discarded like a sacrificial pawn after dating for just a month. Like she had been cast aside in a desperate struggle to survive.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
