Chapter 76

It was too embarrassing.

I also jumped up and bowed.

"No, what have I done! It's all thanks to you, President, that we've grown this much."

As we were bowing to each other,

Knock knock—

The door opened again, and Jin Ye-na came in.

She asked me with a much softer expression than before.

"President Shin, do you have a schedule right after this? If not, would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?"

Ah, there's still something to talk about.

That's why she stared at me and left earlier.

"What's the matter?"

"No, the meeting is over. I just wanted to apologize for the last incident, personally."

Jin Ye-na replied with a smile.

Along with it, one of her eyes drew a peculiar curve and closed.

I realized she had a habit of winking, or maybe her muscles just moved that way when she smiled.

Anyway, it's not about the meeting, right?

"Well, I have a schedule, so I'm sorry."

"Ah... Is it an important schedule?"

"It's a coffee delivery, but it's quite important."

"Coffee delivery? What about after that?"

"After that, I have to visit a film company."

"Film company?"

"Ah, and you don't have to apologize. There's nothing to be sorry about. I'll see you at the next meeting, President Jin."

"Ah, yes... Then... I'll see you next time."

The door closed again.

Choi Jung-hyun laughed for a while.

"Hahaha!"

"......"

I didn't understand and waited until his laughter subsided, and then Choi Jung-hyun asked me.

"Hehe, that's funny... But why the sudden coffee delivery?"

"Ah, yesterday Chae-yeon kept calling me. She said she was excited about the celebration and was dying to try the cold brew. So, I decided to deliver it to her specially."

"Ah, Min Chae-yeon? Hahaha!"

Choi Jung-hyun laughed again and asked.

"Do you see Chae-yeon often?"

"I'm too busy to see her often."

"Hmm......"

Then he added briefly.

"Take good care of Min Chae-yeon."

"Uh... What?"

I looked at Choi Jung-hyun, confused.

He just smiled contentedly as if he were a father.

Don't let the Cafe Bene ad pop up.

A new habit after getting married.

Choi Jung-hyun would press the call button whenever he had a chance.

"Can I talk for a moment?"

[Sure! I just finished a meeting.]

"I miss you."

[Ah, me too!]

The secretary, who was about to knock on the door, turned around immediately upon hearing the president's voice. She resolved to eat spicy rice cakes for dinner, feeling her stomach churn.

Choi Jung-hyun just laughed like a man with eight arms.

"So, how did the meeting go?"

[Yeah, in the end, I have to go to Busan. I tried to avoid it, but I failed! How can I go when you're here?]

"That's true. It's not possible. Should I call and stop it?"

[Hehe, what are you talking about?]

"Or you can really take a break, So-jeong. I can support you for life."

I was always worried about Park So-jeong continuing her demanding broadcasting job even after getting married.

[No way! I can't until I leave a proper documentary with my name on it.]

I fell in love with her burning passion, so what can I do now?

"Haha, right. That's our So-jeong."

[Right! I'll do it! By the way, how did your meeting with Yu-won go today?]

"Ah, that... Hahaha."

Thinking about the meeting just now,

Choi Jung-hyun started laughing.

As he told her about the events, Park So-jeong also burst into laughter.

[Hehe, Shin Yu-won is really funny. He always walks around with a silly smile, but when he flips the switch, he's a completely different person. He's amazing, really.]

"Was he like that before too?"

[No, at our coffee meetups, Shin Yu-won was always fighting with Tae-joon's gang. That's why no one except Tae-joon came to the meetups.]

"Ah, really?"

[Yes. They used to hit on Chae-yeon in turns. Then, one day, at Gangnam Station, something happened... But I shouldn't say it.]

"Dear, there are two ways to make someone angry. The first is..."

[Ah, anyway! That day, Yu-won and I had a big argument, and every time we met, we glared at each other. In the end, they stopped coming.]

"Really?"

[We thought it was for the best. It's hard to tell someone not to come to the meetup. Yu-won was fighting on our behalf.]

Choi Jung-hyun recalled the events of the wedding day.

Then he thought about today's events and smiled contentedly.

"So, today Yu-won fought on my behalf again. That's great."

[Ah, even a snail has the skill to roll. This guy is helping my brother's business. He's really grown up, hasn't he?]

"Haha, a snail? To our President Shin."

Choi Jung-hyun lowered his voice, aware of the surroundings.

"You should have seen it. It was the first time I saw the CEO of MarketKiller so embarrassed."

[Ah, you did well. Our Chae-yeon must be feeling so relieved, like a weight has been lifted.]

"Right. It's been almost a year, hasn't it?"

[You liked her?]

"Yeah."

There were no secrets between the couple.

Especially since they had just gotten married a month ago.

[Right? It's been more than a year since that incident. Our Chae-yeon is not the type to give up easily, but she got her heart broken by someone like Shin Yu-won.]

"Isn't Yu-won a good guy?"

[He's fine. More than fine. Chae-yeon used to be really shy and timid, but... She said Yu-won's words gave her a lot of strength.]

"But what's the problem? If she likes him."

[It's just the timing is so off, it's frustrating. My feelings have grown as much as they can, but he suddenly got engaged. Then, he suddenly broke it off. I'm so frustrated. It's not even a false hope.]

Through the phone, a small sigh could be heard.

[My heart has grown as much as it can, but he suddenly got engaged. Then, he suddenly broke it off. I'm so frustrated. It's not even a false hope.]

Choi Jung-hyun chuckled and said,

"That's why I told Yu-won to take good care of her today. Was that good?"

[What... Did you really tell Yu-won?]

"What?"

[Chae-yeon's family.]

"Of course not. How do you see me?"

[But just in case. Chae-yeon warned me so many times not to tell anyone.]

"I know. I understand her feelings well."

Choi Jung-hyun had experienced it many times.

People who approached him only for his wealth and status.

That's why he understood Min Chae-yeon's feelings well.

Without the rank.

Without the bank balance.

How precious it is to be treated as a human being and to have someone smile at you.

He knew it well.

[But why did you do that! When someone like you says something, it carries weight and has special meaning. Why did you do that!]

Just hearing his voice made me happy.

The most loving person in the world.

"Oops, I was wrong. I just said to take good care of her because they seem to be getting along well. What special meaning could there be? And..."

Choi Jung-hyun added briefly.

"Yu-won is not that kind of person. You know that, right?"

Near Gangnam Station.

"Ugh......"

While parked and enjoying the air conditioning,

The alarm went off at 4:00 PM, and I opened the shop.

"Why isn't it coming out?"

There was no English Pack today.

It's been several days of trying at the exact time, and it's not coming out. Is this what it means to be a rare item?

Still, there was a small harvest.

[◇ "Hot Hand" User Manual: 100G]

Hot Hand, Domino, Bio Clock, etc.

Previously, tutorial unlock items only had the skill name, so you couldn't know what the skill was.

But if you can see the skill manual in advance, you can unlock the necessary skills without wasting money.

'Great! 100 Glory is a bargain.'

It would be nice to collect all the manuals.

First, "Hot Hand."

──Do you want to purchase "Hot Hand User Manual (100G)"? No exchanges or refunds due to a change of heart.

──100G will be deducted from your current Glory.

──Current Glory: 5,500G

I had plenty of Glory.

Thanks to the 5,000 Glory refund from the "Overcoming Misfortune" reward.

Come to think of it,

Why didn't the "Lucky Letter" event have an end message? Is it because "Luck" itself is a good thing, unlike "Misfortune"?

'Or...'

While thinking of other possibilities,

Knock knock—

Someone tapped on the car window, and
