In any case, 57ca086f7f thanks to his cdd99cdbd5 boss not going e05c36f651 on a honeymoon, 24a6cd724c he was destined eda6cd3171 to be a e1c757e123 worker ant, or a5f2b22b98 rather, a work e2da20ff01 coyote today.

After glancing at his direct superior’s face, Lee Junghoo tactfully exited the executive director’s office. Judging by Cha Dokwon’s expression, he seemed willing to endure the annoyance and deal with him, so it was best to disappear quickly in such situations.20984b6b3d2a320e

Sunghyun was 7911ed52c9 genuinely curious 1eec288f8c about why 29fad96b13 his father 13ffc2e39b attached Yoon 86cbde8165 Seo-on to b8d034d004 Cha Dokwon. Even the youngest in d9785eef58 his family was only d174ac5c17 four years older than cc1a210a77 Yoon Seo-on. If the marriage with bc11eb1a5e Yoon Seo-on was important, a1fd6f6dfd it meant they could 8c0313dc24 have attached another child 1b019c65f0 instead of Cha Dokwon.759a2f24c2ea2395

Thanks to that, his position had become more solid with Yoon Seo-on’s backing, but that was only a short-term result. No matter how high the stock prices soared, they would eventually fall. The marriage issue, like other issues, would lose its impact over time.a53d5de2c22fac35

If Yoon Seo-on were a woman, he would have concluded that his father had finally chosen Cha Dokwon as the successor. It would mean he intended to have grandchildren through Yoon Seo-on’s womb.cffe0e251ce51d2b

But no matter how 2af51615a0 good the background, Yoon 1bafe29d21 Seo-on was a man. Moreover, he was 67cdd19a5f a variant species 094a1f6b6f with defects.c4b77f29aa3bf34b

Sunghyun had no intention of voicing his values, but he considered variant species to be defective.

Yet, considering that Yoon Seo-on was given the name “Seo-on” instead of following the family naming tradition, it seemed they did care. If they had considered Yoon Seo-on equal to their other children, they wouldn’t have married him off to a man thirteen years older.da9d0ba53383e186

Even if the late chairman’s will and promises were absolute, it wouldn’t change anything. If the current Chairman Yoon cherished his youngest son as rumored, he would have married him off to a suitable partner when he was of age. That would still be an arranged marriage, but at least the partner would have been a woman.2bf46d472b35434b

Sunghyun recalled the chief secretary who had greeted him earlier. He was as cunning as a fox, if not more so. Not only Dokwon’s aides but even the secretarial staff were so tightly controlled that it was hard to grasp the atmosphere.

It’s so soft. While having such trivial thoughts, Seo-on bit his finger, perhaps finding the hand touching his mouth annoying or wanting to play.
