episode_0185

It’s been about three days since I joined the company, and I’m starting to learn about the general work little by little.

“These are the companies we contracted with…..and this is….”

Since the shooter is away on vacation, the team leader personally gives me work instructions, and I am mostly doing organizing or assisting work instead of doing the work like other team members, but I personally think I am doing a good job.

‘I think I became close with the team leader quickly… but it’s hard to get close to the other team members…’

Since we all work together, it wouldn’t be bad to become close, but since the other team members strangely avoid me, I have no choice but to maintain a stiff relationship.

Since I came in as a parachute, I can’t help but feel negatively viewed, so I just accept it and do my job appropriately and live my company life. Since my team leader often pays attention to me, I’m actually more comfortable than others.

“Team leader, you really care….”

“That’s right…”

Although I occasionally saw other team members whispering, I didn’t really care and was able to do simple tasks. As I gradually got used to the work, I was able to do real work.

“I have a meeting with a company this afternoon, Joohyun, please come with me”

“Okay, I understand!”

I went with the team leader to a meeting with a company, and this was the first time since I came to the company that I was able to do work that was truly part of the sales team.

Although I was just learning how to do it by watching from the side, the fact that I was a member and participating in this way had great meaning in itself, so I felt excited for the first time in a long while and went to the meeting with the team leader in the afternoon.

…………………….

“If you have a meeting with a company, it can sometimes be long, so I will let you leave work right away after reporting the situation”

“Yes, I understand”

Miyoung, who was taking Joohyun to the meeting, saw his enthusiastic personality and thought that he really was like a new employee.

‘For someone who married into a very wealthy family with the chairman’s connections, she’s actually quite ordinary…’

She doesn’t know much about it since she doesn’t come from a wealthy family, but I know that in such families, marriage is usually seen as a kind of business, so it’s almost impossible for an ordinary person to get into it. But looking at Joo-hyun, I could tell that wasn’t necessarily the case.

Miyoung had no idea that the family that owned the Choi Han Group was actually a wealthy family, but she knew that they were from a fairly wealthy family.

‘If possible, I’d like to know about Yeonhee too…’

Miyoung had been hearing Joohyun’s personal stories here and there and getting to know her better since she had been telling her about her work in person for the past few days, but she still didn’t want to give up on getting closer to Yeonhee.

“Today, you can just watch what I do from the side”

“Yes…..But where are you going today?”

“Oh! I forgot to tell you…Today, we are going to sign a contract with another company to make fabric for our fashion brand”

“Is Choi Han Group in a high position in the fashion industry?”

“Well…you could say that, but it’s hard to get ahead because Lily is there”

Unfortunately, it is difficult for the brands owned by Choi Han Group to reach the top position, as there is Lily, a famous fashion brand not only domestically but also internationally.

Currently, the company is changing direction and is planning to dominate the fashion clothing brand sector by selling the materials, such as fabrics, to other companies rather than the brand’s own products. However, unfortunately, its competitor, Lily, does not deal with materials, including fabrics, from Choi Han Group at all, so this is also slowing down a bit.

‘It’s a bit unfortunate that the domestic fashion industry is currently in a state where it can’t do much without being associated with Lily.’

If they weren’t competitors, there wouldn’t be a problem, but since they’ve become rivals, there’s a lot of competition between them, so they tend to be reluctant to do business with each other.

“Anyway, today isn’t about Lily, it’s just a small brand company, so there’s no need to think too deeply about it”

“Yes!”

Although the place signing the contract today is a small to medium-sized business, the transaction itself is quite large, so she, as the team leader, will personally step forward and sign the contract.

In Joo-Hyeon’s case, it doesn’t matter if she’s not there, but I brought her here on purpose because it’s much more beneficial to have the two of them come out and do their work and give them a sense of accomplishment than to keep making them do meaningless work within the company.

‘I’m going to work a little late on purpose and have a drink with you in the evening… Nice!’

It’s no exaggeration to say that there’s nothing better than alcohol for getting to know each other, so I plan to get to know him a little better while drinking.

If you become close like this, you will develop a connection with the chairman, and if your abilities are recognized, it will be possible to rise to the position of president.

Miyoung, who didn’t mind spending money and time to become close to Joohyun right away if she could get on the chairman’s line instead of someone else’s, went to the meeting with Joohyun and, as she had expected, work ended when dinner time came.

“Work took longer than I thought….Since it’s come to this, how about having dinner and a drink?”

“Okay, fine… Then I’ll just make a quick phone call and come back”

“Then I’ll go first and take a seat”

Miyoung, who secretly cheered for success after seeing Joohyun, who fortunately did not reject her, went into the store first, expecting to become closer to him mentally while drinking today.

…………………..

“So I’ll have dinner with the team leader and then go home”

– Yeah…..okay

Yeonji seemed a bit disappointed that she would be coming in a little late today, but she said she understood and ended the call.

‘Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I’ve had a drink.’

I don’t really like alcohol and I can barely drink, so I don’t drink often, and it’s been a while since I’ve had one.

The last time I went to a bar with my mother-in-law and Aunt Ajeong and had a few drinks was probably the last time.

‘Well, I guess I should just drink moderately’

I don’t drink often and I’ve never drank enough to get drunk, so I went into the bar with my team leader without thinking about what my drinking habits were.

…………………

“Here, you can eat this”

“Ah! I’ll bake the rest”

“No.. I’m not the kind of inconsiderate person who orders his subordinates to grill meat and pour drinks”

While having dinner and drinking together, Miyoung grills meat herself and brings it to Joohyun so he can enjoy it.

It’s not often that we have company dinners, but usually the subordinates grill meat and she just relaxes, but today is different.

I’m trying my best to somehow increase Joohyun’s favorability rating.

I chose a drinking method that makes you drunk quickly, such as soju and beer, and I got somewhat drunk while eating.

“Isn’t work hard?”

“No, it wasn’t difficult…but when I saw the team leader working today, it was amazing”

“hohoho thank you”

Miyoung smiled as she saw Joohyun’s slightly drunken, slightly open-eyed compliment and secretly squeezed his hand.

“I feel like I’ve finished eating and I’m starting to get drunk, so should I stop here and go in?”

“Ah…is that so?”

Joo-hyun, who doesn’t drink much, said that he drank soju, but he didn’t drink that much, but he looked quite drunk. So, I decided to end it at an appropriate point, because if I drank any more, I would forget everything that happened today.

‘Then, should we talk about Yeonhee tomorrow?’

Miyoung is making plans in her head because becoming close to Yeonhee can also affect her promotion.

Swaying

“Huh?”

“Are you okay?!”

Miyoung was surprised to see Joohyun staggering as he tried to get up from his seat, probably more drunk than she thought.

She decided that it would be better to let him sleep for a night at a nearby motel rather than sending him to his house, so she took him to the motel.

‘Whew… This is hard… But I hope you won’t forget everything that happened today or anything?’

If you did your best today and showed off your ability and kindness and raised your favorability significantly, but then you forget all that because of the alcohol, then that would be a huge loss.

Hoping that wouldn’t happen, I took him into the motel and laid him on the bed.

“Um….umm….”

Miyoung wipes off the sweat she has shed as she watches him lying still on the bed, drunk and out of his mind.

‘Whew… It’s hard because you’re so big.’

Since Joo-hyun is usually taller and bigger than most men, it was quite difficult for Mi-young, who is tall for a woman (173 cm), to move him.

‘While I’m here, I guess I’ll just take a quick shower…’

My shirt was sticking to me because of all the sweat I had shed, and I felt a little uncomfortable, so I thought about washing it, but I thought it would be a bit awkward to wash it in a motel with Joohyun, so I decided to go straight home.

“Umm……who?”

“Hyun-ssi, are you awake? Since you came to the motel, rest for now and then go back when you’ve come to your senses”

“Motel…um…”

I spoke to Joo-hyun, who was looking at me with a slightly dazed expression while lying down on the bed, and that’s when an unexpected situation unfolded.

“Motel…..”

Thud!

“Okay, wait a minute, Joohyun….uh!?”

Joo-hyun approached Mi-young, who had let her guard down, put his hand on the back of her head, and kissed her.

‘What, what is this!?’

Kwak

“Huh!?”

And as if it were natural, Joo-hyun’s hand came up and grabbed Mi-young’s chest.

‘W-what now?!’

Mi-young was flustered as something completely unexpected happened, and Joo-hyun grabbed her chest and kissed her hard, resulting in her first kiss in her life.
