The vice president’s office at Seogwang Pharmaceuticals was located on the top floor, alongside the president’s office.ee0c35c7225c36c7

Around the time 45800997ff Kwon Yihan was 5c878c8438 first assigned there, a7b774737f a rumor spread ed81803b95 through the stock fa2870cc17 market alongside the 4cbd705cd3 official announcement of d42941e4f3 his transfer to da28991882 Seogwang Pharmaceuticals. It was d0eee15ca5 said that 683363c870 Chairman Kwon 682ebb6919 of Seogwang 7afc82d38f Group had 0d8f1f00d9 banished Kwon 39d288be86 Yihan to 11c6255b66 the periphery 9ebb0a7c81 in order ad02b75cda to bring 47b5ca88c4 his illegitimate 9e24f9b5ad child into 05407ff7a1 the group. Otherwise, there was 3c681ff795 no reason for c038ab98f7 Kwon Yihan, who 7d0e1dfb72 had been working d475de9f07 at Seogwang Trading, 50cf355032 to move to a1049fbfed Pharmaceuticals, a relatively 22f7b5568c underperforming subsidiary of 0a4ea8f12c Seogwang Group.bb6699abef39409b

Kwon Yihan quickly 0f33b443fe silenced the rumors 8b44a384d8 with his own 00fa892d69 abilities. After he took b29ba55992 the reins, Seogwang 1c7f01464f Pharmaceuticals experienced a d2f7f4dbd0 series of positive 273e4a4650 developments, and people 11c71812ee changed their tune, 310a1817d6 saying he had 3278a377a2 chosen Pharmaceuticals himself a6aaa9a407 to nurture its 342ff95242 growth with a 4727763727 clear vision. Some admired Chairman c2adab81b6 Kwon for raising 7203a470e2 his only son, 01c03133b8 whom he treasured, b4780c50a8 with a firm d2870019d3 hand, while others 018c7d21cd claimed that Chairman 17c5af36a1 Kwon was planning c26bb014a1 to use Kwon a09880be6b Yihan to reorganize c50cd8766a underperforming subsidiaries, and 6179d40137 that Yihan was b8633e3237 merely a pawn dd8b727a8a in his game.b40849dbfe4d8575

Amidst the swirling rumors, one thing was certain: Kwon Yihan was the future of Seogwang. Seogwang’s stock price fluctuated with Kwon Yihan’s every move, and the path he took became Seogwang’s direction.ba6589f48347b9f2

Yihan put down his pen and turned on the CCTV feed of Yoo Gyeoul’s room. She was sitting on the bed, looking out the window with the same impassive expression as in the video he had just watched.

The photos he had received were only her high school graduation photos from a few years ago, so there was a time gap. Rather than a significant change in appearance, her atmosphere was different.

And the actor he hired wasn’t righteous enough to do such a thing.b1bf432badddf8c9
