Some people were watching Gyeonhui limping and going inside the meeting room.
It was Chunduk and Woochang.
“What do you think?” Woochang asked.
“Hmm.”
Chunduk watched the video that Woochang provided. In the video, Sun was suffering after she had been stepped on.
Chunduk raised his head up and watched the limping Gyeonhui again.
To call this a coincidence would be wrong, the injured area was precisely matched.
“There is more.”
Woochang also showed him a video that was divided into two and explained to him.
In the video that showed the date and time, there was Sun when a box fell on her shoulder at a warehouse while Gyeonhui was feeling the pain at the same time but in a different location.
“So… what you’re saying is… Gyeonhui feels this girl’s pain?” Chunduk asked again.
“I couldn’t believe it at the beginning, but it was true.”
“How did you know my number?”
“My ex-girlfriend used to meet with his assistant, Ojae Kwon. I saw your number from the phone that he left behind. I’ve also heard that you have some personal issues with him.” Woochang smiled meanly.
“I thought you would pay a great amount of money for this information; that’s why I came here. I also have some issues with that guy.”
“Hmm.” Chunuk was lost in thought for a moment.
It seemed ridiculous, but it could have been a great cause to use against Gyenhui. However, it was also dangerous for Chuhduk.
‘… I need to confirm it…”
A few videos weren’t enough to make a decision, and Chunduk wanted to have more explicit evidence.
“I’ll call you soon. Assume that we haven’t met today. Do you understand?”
“Absolutely. I only need to see the money.” Woochang didn’t hide his meanness.
Chunduk nodded again and walked away from him while taking a look around him.
Woochang was left alone, and he still was watching Gyeonhui leaving.
Woochang left the building with light steps, whistling a song.
96. She’s working late
In the hallway.
Gyeonhui was still limping because of the pain in his foot.
“Are you okay?”
Hearing Ojae, Gyeonhui shook his head with a firm expression.
“The pain is worse than I thought.”
“I can ask Eunyoung if something’s happening with Sun if you want.”
When Gyeonhui thought for a moment, he nodded as an answer. Ojae quickly left the forum to call Eunyoung.
Gyeonhui looked down at his foot again.
‘I wish I could run to you right now…’
Senator Kang wasn’t just a politician he was supposed to meet today. Moreover, Gyeonhui was even late for the meeting, so he had to rush.
***
In the private meeting of the forum.
As Gyeonhui opened the door and went inside, He saw Senator Kang and Mrs. Shin talking.
He also saw Chaekyoung beside Mrs. Shin.
“You’re late.”
Hearing Mrs. Shin’s resentful greeting, Gyeonhui only bowed quietly.
“Welcome.” Senator Kang welcomed him with a bright smile.
Chaekyoung smiled at him instead of a greeting.
He had to sit beside Chaekyoung, which was the only empty seat to sit in the room.
“What a great looking couple.” Looking at them, Senator Kang said.
Hearing Senator Kang, Mrs. Shin and Chaekyoung only smiled, but Gyeonhui smiled bitterly in this uncomfortable situation.
“By the way, I’ve heard that there is great news about both of them?” Senator Kang asked Mrs. Shin.
“We’ve already discussed marriage, but we also think that we need to respect their own opinions, so we’ll proceed slowly.”
“How generous you are. That’s so thoughtful.” The conversation between the two continued.
“We are going to get married at the best time for the family and the two of us. I really appreciate your interest and support.”
Hearing Chaekyoung’s polite words, Senator Kang smiled.
“I’m sure you’re so glad to have such a great daughter in law.”
Hearing Senator Kang, Mrs. Shin smiled gently.
At that time, staying calm, Gyeonhui broke the silence and said, “I’m so sorry, but I have no intention of getting married yet.”
“Mr. Woo.” Mrs. Shin called him in a low voice.
“I’m afraid that there has been a misunderstanding.”
“Hmm, hmm. I must have misunderstood it. Forgive an old man.” Senator said it nicely with a smile, but everyone in that room knew that he got offended.
“I’m sorry, Senator Kang.” Mrs. Shin tried to fix this situation.
“Now, why don’t we talk about our business?” Senator Kang showed documentation in front of the three. “About the law that has been passed…”
Senator Kang started speaking about his plan with a blunt voice.
The peaceful atmosphere immediately turned into a cold and hard business meeting.

In the parking lot.
After the private meeting, Gyeonhui went toward the car with a grim expression.
“Mr. Woo.” At that moment, he heard a familiar voice behind him.
He stopped walking, and Mrs. Shin approached him with the loud knocking of her high heels.
“You’re still the same, acting carelessly.”
Her mean words didn’t hide her anger from Gyeonhui.
Her cold and emotionless face was telling him that she was furious at him.
However, Gyeonhui looked into her eyes straight and spoke, “I haven’t acted at all carelessly.”
“I thought I explained it to you enough last time.”
“I’ve never said that I’ll obey your orders.”
Pausing for a while, Mrs. Shin looked at him steadily.
“Is that so?”
She smirked.
It was a smile that would make people highly nervous.
“I’m sure the CEO of Consensio must be in a great position because I see you that you’re so confident. However, unfortunately, the owner of Consencio will soon be changed…” She purposely blurred her words and smiled at him.
“Do you think so?” Gyeonhui rather asked her back. “The current sales revenue was showing rapid improvement in Consencio. Why does the CEO have to resign when the company is doing well? What’s the reason? Because I simply didn’t listen to you? I don’t think it’s enough to convince the greedy stockholders.” Gyeonhui smiled this time.
It was true.
Consencio’s growth had been steady, but in recent weeks, it had risen up rapidly. Turning the distribution lines toward Southeast Asia and Europe was a significant turning point to avoid the laws banning Korean culture in China.
However, Mrs. Shin’s smile didn’t go away.
“Anyone can do the same thing you did.”
Hearing her, Gyeonhui’s face hardened.
“I think I have enough reasons to terminate you, including your recent drinking incident. I guess you have a different idea than I.”
When he recalled the drunken incident, his face sunk deeper.
