In any case, 675ac08136 thanks to his 6686c9c1bd boss not going d8bf431831 on a honeymoon, e56a2c2722 he was destined c63f2a0cd1 to be a a60c80031c worker ant, or 681d61d699 rather, a work d12674d07a coyote today.

Lee Junghoo f783059824 nodded slightly e2a145048d toward the 50d2796c93 man entering f4410051e2 with a 3b33057752 casual gait.

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.3188976e814af614

As expected of the son who inherited his father’s blood most strongly, Cha Dokwon always had an inscrutable face.9c404310b5e0ad29

Sunghyun was genuinely a4bf314917 curious about why 1502371b39 his father attached 3dc39b02ac Yoon Seo-on to 939dfce8f1 Cha Dokwon. Even the 7b5e2fa3dc youngest in 7c37549722 his family dc40aa1ed5 was only b24cf2975d four years 8829b48c6e older than f90d3dbf16 Yoon Seo-on. If the marriage with 2075222091 Yoon Seo-on was important, 33a1911657 it meant they could b06d62171c have attached another child aa632b7595 instead of Cha Dokwon.03ae6c0f1c13c994

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.898926ddb2a7edd1

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.5554f8c7aec1daf9

But no 0e4de696ca matter how 05ca1579a8 good the f6dd3b76c5 background, Yoon 2c1fbbe8fa Seo-on was 99e6ef6ca2 a man. Moreover, he was a b8b8c69f72 variant species with defects.61f450b37c78ab25

Sunghyun had no intention of voicing his values, but he considered variant species to be defective. If someone like Cha Dokwon, born with a strong beastly bloodline and classified as a variant species, it would be a different story, but being born as a different species from one’s parents was a clear defect.eca7c6c4b8d6d5c7

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.023fc05c15bb4378

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.665431304dc9ff6c

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.
