Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 122
“Our Ye Jin has been begging me nonstop to send her off in marriage to Chairman Kwon’s eldest son, and it’s giving me such a headache these days I feel like I’m about to drop dead.”
At Chairman Woo’s lament, Chairman Kwon barely managed to suppress a smile.
He’d already heard from his secretary earlier that, at their year-end private meeting, Woo’s son Seung Joo apparently left quite an impression—specifically, that Tae Sung Group’s prized daughter had fallen head over heels for him. So when Chairman Woo reached out recently asking to meet, Kwon immediately sensed what this was about: Ah, a marriage proposal!
The fundamental rule of negotiation was to make the other party squirm with anxious desire. That’s why he’d kept putting off their meeting, feigning busyness with the new year until finally agreeing to meet today.
Sure enough, the moment they sat down, Chairman Woo started complaining—he must have been thoroughly worn down by his daughter’s persistent nagging.
“To think your esteemed daughter would show such interest in my unworthy son—truly, I don’t know where to hide my face, heh heh.”
If things go well, this might just work out perfectly for the Shinhyeon-dong land deal. Chairman Kwon was already mentally picturing wedding dates when Chairman Woo suddenly said something unexpected.
“But your eldest son apparently refuses outright, doesn’t he?”
Chairman Kwon, startled, set down the drink he’d just raised to his lips.
“My son said that?”
“Indeed. He flat-out rejected it right to my face.”
Kwon was utterly baffled. If anything, Tae Sung Group was far more than Seung Joo deserved—not the other way around.
‘What’s this brat scheming?’
While Chairman Kwon pondered this, Chairman Woo drained his cup in one gulp without even a toast.
“I’ll make you a promise right here: if our families become in-laws, I’ll gladly let you have your way with the Shinhyeon-dong factory site.”

After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
