Did my deadly flattery(?) work?

In fact, rather than flattery, it was just a moderate list of anecdotes that had happened between Tang Soso and me, but that alone seemed to be enough to satisfy my daughter.

If you look at the atmosphere, it has clearly relaxed compared to the beginning, when it was almost like a pressure interview.

And after my innocence(?) was proven, did I begin to wonder about the purpose of leaving Kowloon City and coming to this city?

The eyes of the party lights that were looking at me turned towards the party office again.

And then-

“So, what happens to the headquarters? Even though I told him to come, he didn’t come.”

So I asked.

“I have a request.”

“It’s a request.”

“We need help from headquarters.”

“···Help?”

“Yes.”

Dang So-so, who is usually the type of person who doesn’t like asking for help, must have felt something unusual when he said he needed help.

Dandeung’s pupils widened slightly.

“Has something happened to the branch? Or maybe there was a problem at the new factory construction site…”

“That’s not true. The branch office is running without problems, and in the case of a new factory being built on the outskirts of Kowloon City, there is some noise, but it is all controllable through the branch line.”

“Then? Why are you asking for help from headquarters?”

“I have something to research. Therefore, high-quality research personnel are needed.”

“The branch offices will be overflowing with research personnel, right?”

“···Not with them.”

Could it be that he didn’t like Dangsoso’s remarks?

Dangdeung started tapping the desk in front of me with his fingers.

Does this mean that you should tell me why you say that?

It seemed like it was because the eyes of the party and others were still fixed on the direction of the party.

“I am not ignoring the personnel at the branch. However…”

“Just?”

“If you ask me if they are truly people I can trust until the end, I am not confident in answering yes.”

It’s not that I don’t trust the abilities of those working as researchers at the branch.

What they don’t believe in is just their desires.

The eyebrows of the party twitched for a moment at Tang Soso’s remark, which was practically saying that.

“So you need support from headquarters?”

“Yes, even if they are the same researcher, it is better to trust them if they are affiliated with the family.”

The party did not say ‘I believe’.

I just said it was trustworthy.

Well, that might be natural.

It is true that collaterals with the same last name as hers are more trustworthy than people who are completely strangers, but that does not mean unconditional trust.

Just because they are called collaterals doesn’t mean they don’t have greed or desire, so how is it possible for them to have unconditional trust?

That was a story that was too close to idealism, and the person I had seen named Dang Soso was a very realistic person rather than an idealist.

The proof was that in order to get back the safety of Ha-young, who had fallen for me, he immediately made a contract marriage, an offer that any man with even the slightest desire could never refuse.

To put it bluntly, what if Dang Soso was a typical young lady who didn’t know much about reality?

Instead of making such a proposal from the beginning, they would have repeatedly made proposals or thrust them forward that did not work.

However, she didn’t do that, and from the beginning, she made an offer that I couldn’t refuse, so she ended up accepting any bleeding that might occur.

If that isn’t realistic, what is?

And from the point of view of a branch office with such a nature, it is equally difficult to completely trust researchers working at the branch or those who are collaterals of the family and also work as researchers at the headquarters. However, if both are difficult to trust until the end, it is at least a little more trustworthy. And it’s inevitable that people in the collateral field who have better capabilities will be more attractive.

Is that why?

Whatever the reaction of the party, the party office seemed to have no intention of withdrawing its story about the request for support.

Did he also sense his daughter’s true feelings?

Dangdeung, who had been banging on the desk from before, knocked on it a couple of times more, asked Dangsoso with a ‘hmm…’ sound.

“What do you plan to study?”

“I can’t tell you about that.”

“You can’t tell me?”

“···Yes.”

“While requesting support from headquarters, you cannot reveal what you will actually be researching?”

Was this a comment that was difficult to ignore from the perspective of leading and managing a huge group called Sacheon Group, which is almost as big as a country?

Strength entered between Dandeung’s eyebrows.

It’s okay if you don’t like the article below.

To use an analogy, it’s like a situation where your child suddenly comes to you and asks if you can give him some money because there’s something he really wants to do. You ask him what on earth he needs that much money for, but you reply that he can’t tell you that.

How many parents in the world would be able to nod their heads obediently in such a situation?

No matter how much money you have, you will first narrow your eyes and look at it.

So, there is nothing particularly strange about the reaction the party and others are showing right now…

‘So rather than feeling like he doesn’t like me, I think he’s doing this because he doesn’t like the fact that his daughter is trying to do something by keeping it a secret…’

Even so, I wondered if a man as high as the chairman of the Sacheon Group would get upset over something like that… but isn’t that what idiots are supposed to be?

then?

What I have to do here is…

“Actually, it’s because I asked for research.”

“Hmm?”

“It is difficult to tell you in detail due to the internal rules of the sect I belong to, but there are a few items that my late teacher passed on to me.”

“Um···.”

“Among them, there was one whose origin I could not guess even by looking at it with my own eyes, so I asked Soso to look into it, but he said it would be difficult with his own strength.”

So, in order to get trustworthy people to participate in research and use them as assistants, we left Kowloon City and came to this place where our headquarters is located.

As I was listing the circumstances in that way, the party sitting next to me protested through my side, asking what I was doing without my consent, but I responded by keeping my expression as firm as possible.

“That is exactly what happened…”

“This is a fairly important issue for me, so I would like to receive help from our family if possible.”

“It would be quite expensive to hire personnel from our party rather than ordinary researchers who are widely available, right?”

Can you afford it?

The party said so.

“I will try my best on that part. There…”

“There?”

“It won’t be a loss for the party either.”

“Hoo···?”

In a situation where bending over wasn’t enough, I kept my back straight and said with confidence that it wouldn’t be a loss to either of you, so from his point of view, he couldn’t help but become interested.

Dangdeung, who was looking at me blankly with eyes that seemed to say, ‘Look at this guy…?’ soon turned to Dangsoso, who was standing next to me.

“Is it true?”

“Yes…?”

“I asked if what that guy just said was true.”

I don’t know why they’re trying to hide it so closely, but anyway, since you’ve seen what the research subject is, you should be able to answer.

Dang So-so’s expression, which had been slightly tense due to tension, changed to a very serious expression at the remark that was no different from saying that.

Should I say this is the researcher-like expression I showed when I revealed the ‘sample’ the other day?

Dang Soso, with his face filled with such things, gulped, swallowed his saliva once, and then spoke to Dang Deung.

“This is just my personal opinion… but if you dig in properly, there is a lot you can gain.”

“Hmmmm…”

“However, according to the explanation given by Su-hyeon, there is a high possibility that a huge biological disaster will occur the moment it is leaked to the outside, so if you are forming a team, you need to carefully consider that and select team members. It seems like there is.”

Even though she is the chairman of one of the world’s leading conglomerates, Dang Soso, who, aside from being the daughter, is quite capable of being a researcher, spoke like that, couldn’t she help but be curious?

“What on earth is that sample?”

He said that he wanted to see me too…

“If you’re that curious, I can show you…”

“Hmm?”

“A little bit here…”

Each of the components that make up this room appears to be of high quality, but wouldn’t it be a bit weird to take out a zombie corpse in a room full of such items?

So, I expressed my disapproval by saying it was a bit like that here, but didn’t he just beat up other competitors and become the chairman of something like the Sacheon Group?

Dangdeung immediately stood up from his seat, showing the driving force of a chaebol chairman.

“In that case, let’s change seats. There is another good place.”

Boom!

“This is the sample…”

“Huh…? What is this…?”
