Seong Ji-hyeon, the youngest daughter of the Seongsam Group.

Although she was a second-generation chaebol, she was still the youngest and had the least position within the Seongsam Group. Not surprisingly, there were two other older sisters above her.

The eldest daughter, Seong Jae-yeon, is in charge of semiconductors and electronics, the main fields of Seongsam Group. And Seong Ji-young, the second daughter in charge of Seongsam Motors.

These two people were being mentioned as candidates for the next chairman of Seongsam Group.

It was difficult to ignore the achievements these two people have shown, whether in terms of experience or business acumen.

On the other hand, the youngest member, Seong Ji-hyeon, had only just joined the Seongsam Group last year.

But this was not her fault. Because I was literally the youngest. Since I had only recently become an adult, I had nothing to show yet.

She was currently a member of the business management team at the headquarters, but had not yet settled into a specific field like her two older sisters.

It was partly because of my young age, but because my older sisters had already taken all the pie in my main field, there was no suitable field for me to step into.

Of course, if she wanted to, she could have entered the large-scale entertainment field, but she had a different level of ambition than her two older sisters.

‘If I don’t have a place to start, I can just pioneer a new field. And that’s an area that no one has tried before… … .’

If someone who knew nothing heard it, they could say it was a foolish dream at a young age, but she was the daughter of Seongsam Group. It was quite feasible if one had the ability to do so.

Moreover, Seong Ji-hyeon was far from a flower in a greenhouse. It didn’t grow as well as I expected. Always in the gap between my older sisters, I was aware of the importance of competition and success from a young age.

Was it because of that? Seong Ji-hyun has shown great interest in business management since she was young. And around my mother and older sisters, I quietly looked over their shoulders and learned.

Perhaps because she was greatly influenced by her business family from a young age, Seong Ji-hyeon grew up quickly. Moreover, she had a special talent that her older sisters did not have.

That special talent is the ability to find blue oceans that no one had thought of. It was an innate talent, like the unique skills of heroes.

At first, everyone thought it was an absurd business idea, like a child’s delusion. But Sung Geon-hee, mother and chairman of Sungsam Group, was different. After recognizing Seong Ji-hyun’s talent, he recognized her.

Therefore, he was currently pursuing his plan under his mother’s strong protection.

Because of that, Seong Ji-hyeon was currently attending the academy. While acquiring the necessary knowledge in the business management department, I was also working as a teaching assistant to build up the know-how necessary for practical work.

The purpose was to learn firsthand the process of how the Hero Association works.

“So… What on earth is this new field recognized by the Chairman?”

Han Si-hoo, who was already immersed in Seong Ji-hyeon’s story, asks a question. He was sipping wine without realizing it, as if the stories about the families of chaebols were more interesting than he thought.

I was listening to her story with interest as a snack. No matter how much I concentrated, I was already running out of wine glasses.

“My dream is simple. We are establishing a new hero association.”

“Yes? A new hero association… … ?”

After emptying the wine glass to the last drop, Han Si-hoo asks again.

I thought I heard something wrong, as if I was already drunk.

In reality, I was getting drunk, but

That’s how hard it was to believe Seong Ji-hyun’s words.

This means that a new national organization, the Hero Association, is being established. Even if I were sober, I probably would have asked the same question.

“Oh, please don’t misunderstand. To be precise, I want to establish a private company similar to the Hero Association. And our Seongsam Group is the first in the world.”

“Yes? Private companies like the Hero Association… … ?”

After one hour, he was asking again.

This time I wasn’t surprised at all.

It was a more ordinary business idea than I thought.

It was a very common business where he originally lived.

The name of the business is [Hunter Guild]

“These days, in a situation where the Villain Alliance is running wild, the Hero Association is unable to control itself, right? Since it is run with taxes, people’s dissatisfaction is increasing.”

In reality, Seong Ji-hyeon was talking about a concept similar to guild. In this world, people view awakened people as heroes, so it was difficult for private capital to intervene.

That is why it has been managed at the national level.

ㅡSqueak… !

Seong Ji-hyeon filled Han Si-hoo’s empty wine glass and licked her lips with the tip of her tongue.

To her, Sihoo Han was a special person. He was also his benefactor, and was indispensable to his future business.

“I understand roughly what you are planning. however… What exactly do you want to say to me? This isn’t just a place to lay out business ideas, right?”

“As expected. You’re smarter than I thought. Then why do you think I brought this up?”

“Yes? Surely not? I’m just an aspiring assistant… … .”

Sihu Han shook his head, remembering the scouting offer in his mind. It was a story that had no possibility at all. Maybe it’s an S-class hero like Iria… … .

“No. Is Mr. Sihoo necessary for me and Seongsam Group?”

“Yes? Me… … ?”

Han Si-hoo tilted his head.

I didn’t understand it at all.

This was because he thought there was no reason to need him unless he knew about his unique ability, Reflection.

Clearly, Han Si-hoo, seen through the eyes of a third party, was an ordinary boy. Except that his appearance is a bit special.

‘Maybe it’s a similar reason to other women? They won’t approach you just because you look cute… … ?’

For a brief moment, I thought of several possibilities, but

I decided that it wasn’t just about looks.

Not surprisingly, the opponent was a second-generation chaebol.

No matter how precious men are in this world,

There was no reason to be interested in myself, who was nothing special.

There was no way he could give me unconditional love simply because of his looks. She’s not even the heroine of some morning drama.

“I actually fell in love with Sihoo at first sight when I met him in the alley that day?”

“Cough… ?!”

No, it suddenly hit me.

What am I to say like that?

What I thought wasn’t true turned out to be true… … .

It’s so absurd that I end up coughing. I didn’t really talk to Seong Ji-hyeon that day.

“Don’t misunderstand. Because I fell in love with Sihu’s personality and hero qualities.”

“The qualities of a hero… I’m an aspiring assistant?”

“He was like a hero to me that day.”

“Ah… … .”

“I was convinced when I saw Mr. Sihu jumping in without any conditions to save someone in danger. A person with that sense of justice would be a perfect fit for the purpose of the company I am trying to create.”

Seong Ji-hyeon made eye contact with him with a serious expression and continued speaking.

“… Of course, the company and individual profits must be prioritized, but they are still people who will work under the name of heroes, right? Perhaps heroes will be judged by stricter standards than the Association. Of course, I plan to provide incomparable compensation, but… … .”

Seong Ji-hyeon, who had been making serious eye contact with Han Si-hoo, glances away. Her face was suddenly turning red. This was not just a flush caused by intoxication.

Although he did a good job of explaining that it wasn’t just selfishness, his fondness for Sihu was clearly mixed in.

Especially after seeing Sihu’s face up close, my confidence became stronger. I was convinced that I needed to recruit him as my business partner and my man.

“… So, when Mr. Sihu completes the assistantship course, I would like to recruit him to Seongsam Group. What do you think?”

Seong Ji-hyeon finally takes out the negotiation card that was hidden in her heart.

“Ha, but I have Iria?”

“Of course, we plan to recruit both of them. Hero and Side Kick are one set, right?”

“… … ?”

“Besides, Iria is an unofficial hero, so there shouldn’t be a problem, right? He has already proven his qualities and skills as a hero!”

“Yes, but… … .”

“You two will become the No. 1 heroes of our Seongsam Group! It’s not a bad condition at all! We can match the salaries of both of you as much as possible. Under the condition of being well over 10 times the highest salary of the heroes supported by the association… … .”

Seong Ji-hyeon recites her ambitions and aspirations in a very flushed voice. Her face got so hot that both cheeks were already tinged with wine.

Han Si-hoo’s face gradually brightened as she explained this.

‘Oh, that’s true then. Wasn’t my real goal? If you recruit me, Iria will have no choice but to follow… … .’

Sihoo Han nods his head silently. Only now did I understand Seong Ji-hyun’s words that she had no personal feelings. At first, I thought it was just pretense.

However, this was Hansihu’s own illusion.

‘If Mr. Sihoo joins the company I work for, wouldn’t I have a chance too…? … ? I can’t touch him as a business partner right now, but I’ve never seen a man who’s my type so much… … . I want to have.’

Seong Ji-hyeon glanced at his face and took a sip of wine.

She had always been calm and made only rational decisions, but right now, she was relying on the power of alcohol to stay true to her emotions. I was struggling under the instinctive feeling of love.

“… It’s definitely not a bad business idea.”

Han Si-hoo did not know Seong Ji-hyeon’s true feelings and was mistaken. Because of that… … .

“What do you think of my suggestion? I don’t think there will be anything bad.”

“Good. But for more details, I will ask Lia and give you an answer.”

“Of course! If you need persuasion, please contact me anytime!”

“Yes, ah! wait a minute… … .”

Han Si-hoo took out his cell phone while the story about Iria came up.

That’s right, ever since I started talking to Seong Ji-hyeon, I’ve felt like my pockets were ringing.

Did I get a phone call?

ㅡSweet!

It was when Sihu inadvertently turned on the screen of his cell phone.

“Mi, crazy… … .”

“Hmm? Sihoo?”

[Missed calls – 44 (Sender: Iria)]

[Missed message notification – 999 (Lianuna)]

Fucked.
