Chapter 245 – Why It Can’t Be (1)
As soon as Eun So-young arrived, she began organizing her subordinates, including those who were already here and the servants.
As the only woman who had properly managed a conglomerate, she commanded people with ease, like a general.
“Don’t say anything strange.”
Perhaps interpreting her as a macho figure, Eun So-young seemed a little disappointed, but I would make it up to her later tonight.
Anyway, Eun So-young had been quite strict with her people, but she secretly told me, “If you make the upper management suffer and then reward them appropriately, different groups can easily come together.”
The position of the employees hired by Tang Hye-won, who had picked out some people with loose lips and skills, and Eun So-young’s subordinates who had worked as part of the conglomerate for a long time, was quite different, so it seemed like a good thing to do.
The other three people who watched her do this, even her mother, were amazed at her ability to take control of the entire household in an instant.
“Even I have no experience with such things…”
It seemed that Tang Hye-won had been in charge of the lower-class people since the country was different from the conglomerate, and her father had done most of the work.
That aside, I was worried that they might be concerned about their position, but they were grateful for doing something unfamiliar, so it was fortunate.
However, after quickly unpacking everything by working them hard, everyone was surprised when Eun So-young asked them to endure it for just one day.
“Even though he’s the owner, it’s a bit much to make him suffer all night long after making him suffer all day long… isn’t it?”
Apologizing for not explaining it earlier, the three people who were probably quite busy eventually had no choice but to accept it.
And even I, who was looking forward to the Bottebae sex event, had to stay up all night and greet the morning.
I have to go to the doctor’s office as soon as possible.
The doctor’s morning is fast.
Although she wakes up later than the apprentices who prepare water and herbs early in the morning, she and the other doctors are the ones who ultimately confirm what they have prepared, so her morning cannot be late.
Moreover, she was directing this doctor, so she was busier than the other doctors.
There were several other doctors she had hired, but none of them had the skills of the doctor, so it was inevitable that she would become the head of the doctors.
But the doctor was happiest when she could devote herself solely to practicing medicine without worrying about anything else.
And with gratitude towards the many supporters who made it possible, and Kang Yoon who provided the foundation for it all.
“I see… a dedicated area for them…”
That’s why Joo Yak-sun didn’t express any particular opinion when Kang Yoon said he would open a dedicated area for the ‘many women’.
She judged that it wasn’t an area where she, as a lawmaker, would be involved, rather than opposing it or even showing a disappointed expression.
It’s just that the timing wasn’t right.
“It might be difficult… What do you mean? Is the preparation insufficient?”
“These guys, why the hell isn’t it working! I clearly said I would pay a fair price!”
“I, it can’t be like this. Look, look at this! Quickly, quickly bring in Madame Joo!”
The voice of the woman who had been coming to the lawmaker for several days and causing a commotion was echoing, so Joo Yak-sun rubbed her forehead with her hand.
“Kang So-hyup, it seems like it would be faster if you accompany me instead of explaining.”
“…I understand.”
The man with a puzzled face stood up with Joo Yak-sun and went outside.
Joo Yak-sun approached the woman who was causing a commotion near the entrance reception desk.
“Mrs. Sung, what’s the matter?”
“Oh, lawmaker. You came at a good time. I’ll make sure to get your promise no matter what happens today.”
Joo Yak-sun didn’t actually know anything about the woman who seemed to be high-ranking at first glance.
Probably a middle-aged woman who could be guessed to be a member of the martial arts world.
And undoubtedly, a precious woman who had never bowed her head to anyone.
“I’m sure you said there was no way to treat it… Why are you being so stubborn?”
“Hah! That’s ridiculous! Do you think I don’t have ears to hear? Even the woman who had been suffering for years had a child because of you…”
The woman suddenly lowered her voice, as if embarrassed.
“I heard that the rumor that she had a child because of you was true. That means it’s because of you.”
“At least from what I can tell, there’s nothing wrong with Mrs. Sung’s body. If there’s nothing wrong, there’s no way to treat it, right?”
“…”
“Excuse me, but is there any problem with your husband?”
“…Didn’t I say there wasn’t? How many times do I have to say it for you to understand?”
The repetitive conversation continued. And the woman brought up the most troublesome issue.
“As far as I know, that area is for pregnant women, postpartum mothers, and children.”
“That’s correct.”
“Then let me receive treatment there too. Why can’t I?”
“I already told you that the rooms are full…”
“There’s definitely an empty room! Why can’t I use it?”
There was indeed an empty room, but it was the ‘dedicated area’ that the man had requested, so it wasn’t accepting people.
That was why Kang Yoon couldn’t accept what the woman wanted, as she was causing a commotion.
If a woman who seemed to be a high-ranking figure like this one openly showed a disrespectful attitude towards Joo Yak-sun, it was highly likely that she held significant power.
If such a powerful person were to say, “I can’t use it, so why can you?” there would be no way to resolve the issue.
“Kang So-hyup, maybe this is a problem that you can solve…”
There was no sign of any internal energy in the woman’s body.
Unless Joo Yak-sun was a master who couldn’t even sense internal energy, it was highly likely that the woman’s power was related to the government.
“If Kang So-hyup had been listening to this conversation, he might have figured out the situation.”
When Joo Yak-sun glanced at Kang Yoon, he was only looking at the middle-aged woman who was causing a commotion, not paying any attention to her.
This lawmaker’s place was nothing more than a hiding place for my harem for the time being.
We spared no expense in purchasing medical supplies as long as we had the funds, but the priority was to create a place for us to stay.
But when I heard that it might suddenly become difficult, I followed her outside and saw a familiar face.
“…Ha-jeong? What are you doing here?”
Ha-jeong, whom I hadn’t seen in months, looked at me with a surprised expression.
“Well, what are you doing here?”
Although the noise from the woman next to us was annoying, I was happy to see Ha-jeong again and was willing to endure it.
“The actual person in charge of running this lawmaker’s office is the main lawmaker here, but I’m the one who set it up in the first place.”
We initially brought in the money from the party, and recently, Dang Hye-won has been in charge of managing everything, so I felt a little guilty, but it was true that I had set it up.
Yang Ha-jeong seemed impressed and nodded in agreement with my words, but the woman’s loud voice interrupted us again.
“Why can’t I use it?!”
[She seems to be full of energy. Who is she, and why did she come here?]
[Um, well…]
Despite her anger, the woman had an impressive restraint and seemed like a soldier.
As I briefly glanced at her face, I noticed something peculiar.
‘It looks like Yang Ha-jeong is training her…’
Receiving training from Yang Ha-jeong, who could be considered one of the most advanced women in the martial arts world?
It wasn’t impossible to imagine. Yang Ha-jeong’s family was from the San-dong Yang clan, a prestigious family that produced many officials, so it made sense that a high-ranking woman from the government would receive training from her.
[I cannot reveal who she is. I can only tell you that she came here to receive treatment for infertility. This is a secret to everyone else.]
Is she a noblewoman? It’s possible, but…
‘No way…’
It was too noisy to be a noblewoman, and it was strange for her to be directly talking to the lower-level officials.
As I turned my gaze back to the woman, she was also looking at me. What’s going on?
The woman approached me and looked straight at me as she spoke.
“You’re the owner of this office, right?”
“…Yes, that’s correct. Madam…”
“Ahem! Ahem!”
As I was speaking, Yang Ha-jeong quickly coughed to interrupt me. Right after that, her voice rang in my ear.
[Please avoid using honorifics with her as much as possible. She doesn’t like that kind of thing…]
She’s quite picky.
“Yes, that’s correct. Madam.”
“According to your representative, I can’t use this room without your permission, is that right?”
During the brief moment when Yang Ha-jeong and I were talking, it seemed like Joo Yak-sun had finally made a decision that the decision-making power was in my hands.
Seeing her expression of apology and regret, I could understand that she was being tormented by the truth.
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“Oh, then that’s good. I came here because I heard that this representative is quite well-known in this area. But all she’s been doing is repeating that treatment is not possible.”
But what if there’s no place to treat her?
“I’m willing to pay a fair price for the treatment, so please give me the room and order the representative to treat me.”
I understood why Joo Yak-sun was having a hard time. If we went in while this person was making a fuss, it would be a headache.
“Madam.”
“Alright, do you understand? It seems that my words are getting through to you because you’re young…”
“I completely follow the decisions of the owner of this office regarding its operation and treatment. If the owner determines that you’re healthy, then you don’t need to receive treatment at this clinic, madam.”
“What?”
The woman’s face frowned, and Yang Ha-jeong, who was watching from behind, made an angry expression.
“But I told you, didn’t I? She doesn’t like using honorifics.”
Isn’t she trying to force her status on others?
I don’t have time to deal with someone who’s not supposed to be here. Be nice when you speak.
