Chapter 10: 5.2

Lim Seung Hyun stared at the youngest Managing Director in front of him. Yes, he was born with a silver spoon, but he also had the smarts and talent. Unlike his younger brother, his personal life was also clean, so lately he has been a popular candidate for the number one son-in-law of a chaebol family.

 

‘So, why would such a person boast about himself with such words? There must ultimately be a reason’, Lim Seung Hyun thought to himself as tensed up.

 

“During your school years, you were part of the judo national team… but why did you quit?”

 

“I had a minor injury. This meant that I had to give up sports, though it has no bearing on my day-to-day activities.”

 

“After quitting sports, you entered the military service…very admirable. Born in Nowon-gu, as the second son of 2 boys and 1 girl, your older brother went from being an idol trainee and now… is he working as an actor?”

 

[T/N: Nowon-gu: a residential district of Seoul, South Korea]

 

“He’s still an aspiring actor, not yet at the level of a full-fledged actor.”

 

‘But my elder brother’s information is not in the personnel records’. Lim Seung Hyun could feel the goosebumps that the thought raised.

 

“Why would such a person take care of Yeon Seo?”

 

“Well..”

 

Yoo Eun Ho looked at Lim Seung Hyun as if he really couldn’t understand.

 

“You can speak honestly.”

 

There was, of course, a reason for Lim Seung Hyun to take care of Yeon Seo. Known for his keen intuition, and combining the rumours he had collected in the three years since joining the company with the things his colleagues had experienced, one conclusion emerged, ‘The Yoo family is fond of Yeon Seo.’

 

Not only had he not been disowned despite causing that incident, but he was also receiving support from behind the scenes.

 

And when Lim Seung Hyun was summoned to the chairman’s office, he found Yoo Yeon Seo’s merch on the chairman’s desk. Wasn’t that an official merch, the season greeting’s calendar?

 

How did he recognise this? His younger sister is ‘Love Letter’. It was also information Lim Seung Hyun wished he didn’t know.

 

[T/N: Love Letter – is Yeon Seo’s Fandom name]

 

Either way, everyone in his family, except for one person, liked Yeon Seo. Even Yoo Yeon Seo was able to keep his temper in check and kept himself humble when it came to his family.

 

‘Actually, that’s why I was thinking of sticking to Yoo Yeon Seo.’

 

Since he monopolizes the favouritism of the Yoo family, he thought that if he stuck next to him, he might be able to have some of the favour fall on him as well.

 

Besides…

 

‘He’s not as bad as people say.’

 

As soon as they heard the news that Lim Seung Hyun was going to go to Yoo Yeon Seo’s hospital for a while, he immediately received the concerned and sympathetic gazes of his colleagues.

 

[Oh no, Seung Hyun-ssi… what’s going to happen? Are you going to be okay?]

 

[T/N:-ssi – means Mister (Mr.)]

 

[Chief, shouldn’t we have a farewell party for Seung Hyun-ssi now?]

 

[Absolutely do not make eye contact with that person. Because once you do, you’ll get fired!]

 

Fired? What kind of nonsense is this? In the end, a dinner party was set up for that day, and he became the main host of the early farewell party. Excuse me, I still have my employee ID card…

 

[Hey, if you just keep standing there, when are you going to go home?]

 

[it’s okay, young master. This is my job.]

 

[You must be tired, why don’t you go home now. There are other people besides you, you know. If you don’t go home right away, you’ll get fired]

 

[Okay then. I will leave work now, young master.]

 

However, contrary to his worries, Yoo Yeon Seo was calm. He even let him leave early. Is the rumour of him being a tyrant true? It was hard to say.

‘But can I really be honest about this?’

 

Lim Seung Hyun hesitated.

 

‘I don’t know.’

 

Yoo Eun Ho is the Managing Director after all. Recently, it is said that he has also handled sexual harassment cases within the company cleanly, preventing any potential harm to victims. He didn’t seem to be one to penalize honesty.

 

“Actually… it’s true that I approached him intentionally.”

 

Lim Seung Hyun tried to express his feelings as best as he could. Yoo Eun Ho nodded his head slightly.

 

“You are quick-witted. That’s right. Yeon Seo can be said to be a problem child in our family, but at the same time, he’s loved a lot. If you endured under him for three months, the way our family sees you would obviously change.”

 

“But it is absolutely not my intention to take advantage of the young master, Sir. The truth is… my colleagues in the same department are so talented that if I keep going like this, I’m afraid I won’t get a promotion and I felt like I had to do something.”

 

Lim Seung Hyun earnestly defended himself. Yoo Eun Ho smiled wryly.

 

He didn’t dislike quick-witted people. He had a good reputation within the company and his brother is also an aspiring celebrity, so he probably knows a lot about the entertainment industry as well. Seung Hyun was a talented individual that would be an asset to Yeon Seo.

 

“By the way, you are quite brave. All the people who worked under Yeon Seo left the company within a few days.”

 

“Y-yes.”

 

Yoo Yeon Seo may not have the authority to fire people, but if someone crossed him, they would be fired. That’s how it usually is with company life.

 

So, he had to be a little careful. After all, he was part of a prestigious group and had worked hard to build up his qualifications and get to where he was. But if he happened to be unfairly dismissed because of the Chairman’s crazy grandson what would happen to him? It was a project that Lim Seung Hyun also had his own career to think about.

 

“That’s it… I know the rumours about him, but you can’t really know someone until you experience them yourself.”

 

This wasn’t just said to promote himself, it was his true feelings. He seems to have a good personality? Yoo Eun Ho grinned.

 

That’s good. Then please continue working under Yeon Seo from now on.”

 

“Yes, I will.”

 

“A sudden promotion can create jealousy among other employees, so we’ll also give you double your annual salary and give you incentives every quarter.”

 

“I will work hard!”

 

“Alright, you can go now. My assistant will guide you.” Yoo Eun Ho waved his hand.

 

Lim Seung Hyun tried to strengthen his weakened legs. From Chairman Yoo Chang Ho to Managing Director Yoo Eun Ho, the aftermath of meeting with the two tigers of Jusung Group was immense.

 

“Ah, sir. There was something I wasn’t sure if I should bring up in front of the chairman earlier.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“Well, young master requested information about your family.”

 

Yoo Eun Ho frowned. Did he really have a memory problem? But, even if it’s something like this, isn’t this an issue that should have been brought up when I was with my grandfather and father? Did he filter the information before passing it on?

 

Lim Seung Hyun hurriedly added, noticing the change in his expression.

 

“Well, he also asked for information about ‘that person’…”

 

“I see. Well done.”

 

The mention of ‘that person’ made Yoo Eun Ho’s shoulders tense up. You’re a really quick-witted person. I hope my brother keeps him for a long time.

 

But why did he specifically request information from him when it’s all readily available online? It was quite suspicious, but it also suggested that his brother’s memory may have been truly impaired

 

“Sigh…”

 

There was only a sigh of concern as the worries grew.
