## Chapter 228 – 23. Loyalty
+++
The day after spending a day in dissipation.
The secretaries, who had been taking turns sorting through the gifts I received since yesterday, finally finished the classification.
When I woke up, they even had a plan in place for what to sell, how much to sell it for, and how to sell it.
Truly excellent work.
‘It’s easier to work when you have subordinates.’
It may have been true in the past, but it’s the same now.
The more people you can employ, the more you can maximize everything.
Profits, power, and comfort.
“Okay. Well, let’s do it this way. Proceed immediately.”
“Yes.”
I gave my final approval after skimming through it, and I ate while listening to a brief morning report.
The morning report mainly covers what happened the previous day, what happened while I was sleeping, and anything that could change today’s schedule.
The former wasn’t anything special, but the latter was quite significant.
“The vehicle you decided to gift to Seo Hyun-joo, the head of the Social Affairs Department 1 at Shin Mirae Daily, has been released today.”
“Really? Good timing. Can I drive it right away?”
“Yes. A simple inspection is required, but if you wish, we can handle everything within today.”
“Then….”
I was planning to visit Shin Mirae Daily soon anyway, so this worked out well.
I also became the owner of Shin Mirae Daily, and it’s been a while since I tasted Seo Hyun-joo’s mature, unmarried pussy.
I should fuck her in the department head’s office in celebration of her promotion.
“First, contact the service center and tell them I’ll go there for lunch and have the delivery preparations completed by then. After the delivery, I’ll go to Shin Mirae Daily.”
“Understood.”
“Ah, don’t forget the driver to assign to Hyun-joo.”
“Yes.”
Since I’m giving her a car as a gift, it would be more effective to drive it there myself and give it to her on the spot.
After finishing breakfast, I went through my usual morning routine.
I exercised with Sua’s coaching, received shooting training, and learned the basics of using my body.
It hasn’t been long since I started, so there aren’t any visible results yet, but the act of moving around and sweating makes my head clear and makes me feel good.
And if I take a hot bath and have sex afterward, it’s the perfect combination.
However, I didn’t have sex today because I was planning to relieve myself with Hyun-joo.
“Ah.”
Just before leaving.
A good idea came to mind, so I stopped for a moment.
“Do we have cash? In bills.”
“Ah, yes. About 1 billion won.”
“Bring it all. In a box.”
“Yes.”
One of the secretaries quickly runs off.
“I was thinking, even if I’m going to distribute money later, it would be a bit much if there’s nothing on my first day in charge.”
“That’s a wise decision.”
“People will only believe and follow if every path I take becomes a golden path.”
Giving something to Hyun-joo is a given, and I plan to go through all the reporters from the bureau chief down and give them a little something.
“However, there may be some reporters with an unnecessary sense of justice…. They might make a public declaration.”
Seung-hee expressed her concern.
She was worried that someone might report that I was giving money to the reporters.
“The owner is just giving some money to the employees, what’s the big deal?”
“…”
“Don’t worry about that. There are much more terrible things happening in Incheon every day than that.”
“Yes.”
Soon, the secretary brought a box full of bills.
Even though it was 1 billion won, it wasn’t as bulky as I thought because of the high-denomination bills.
“I should have prepared in advance. It just came to me suddenly. Tsk tsk.”
+++
I took the AV to the service center where Hyun-joo’s car was.
Without going through any complicated procedures, I immediately received the car, put the driver in the driver’s seat, and got into the back seat.
I had the AV follow along, floating in the air at a moderate distance.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
The driver drives the car.
Even in this era of perfect self-driving, a driver is almost essential for the upper class.
If you’ve achieved a certain level of social success but don’t have a driver?
Then it feels like you’re losing face.
Not to mention a third-generation chaebol like me.
While on the way, I looked through my phone to admire Hyun-joo’s photos.
As my early fuck buddy, I had sex with her countless times, so I had quite a few photos taken during that process.
“Seeing them after so long makes my dick throb.”
Seo Hyun-joo is a typical mature woman.
She has a wicked body full of sultry charm that makes my dick ache from the start.
Her face is also sexy, and her breasts are so big that I wonder how she was a virgin with that lewd body.
“I’m going to make sure she can’t walk out of there today-,”
Buzz.
A message notification popped up near Seo Hyun-joo’s face, which I was admiring.
“Seo Ah-ram?”
‘Come to think of it, it’s almost time.’
The time when the original heroine, Seo Ah-ram, officially becomes my secretary.
She said she would come sometime in January, so she will be here within two weeks at the latest.
Then I should think about how to use Seo Ah-ram.
‘January is busy.’
Looking at the content, she was suddenly expressing her gratitude.
‘Her mother, who had a virtually incurable disease, has recovered and opened her eyes….’
In the original story, Seo Ah-ram, unable to cope with the snowballing debt and her mother’s medical expenses, ends up selling her body. That alone is tragic enough, but even then, the debt increased, and she eventually couldn’t treat her mother and she dies.
As a result, the blackened Seo Ah-ram goes on a rampage and kills all the loan sharks, which is roughly the consistent story from the prologue to the early to mid-main story.
But now she is walking a path that is as different from the original as heaven and earth.
‘First of all, there are no loan sharks.’
Because I killed them all.
Not directly, but by order.
In addition, her mother, who is the direct cause of her blackening, has also awakened, so the story about her can be said to be completely different from what I know.
‘But well, does the story have any meaning? Now she’s just my secretary and fuck buddy.’
I found and killed the male lead from the start, and I took the female lead as my secretary.
That alone is enough to prepare for the main story.
The biggest risk factor for me is that the main characters, who are stat monsters, create their own forces.
Depending on the progress route, the main characters emerge as the biggest rivals of the mega-corporation Korea Group, or even inflict serious damage, but now that won’t happen, right?
Then it’s over.
Even if Seo Ah-ram has bad intentions, just being able to keep her by my side and observe her every day is enough to suppress her. Because I can see the status window and determine whether she’s betraying me.
On top of that, her mother is being held hostage.
In this situation, it is impossible for her to oppose me.
‘I don’t have to check or worry anymore.’
I send a reply that is moderately relieved.
The answer came immediately. She seems very happy to be able to talk to her mother again.
At the same time, she swears allegiance to me once again, and she often says somewhat embarrassing things.
Something feels different again.
When I first saw her, when I saw her at Prestige, and when I’m chatting with her now.
They all feel different.
Is it because she’s the main character?
Her personality seems to change as quickly as she grows.
‘Well, if you think about the original story, her current personality isn’t her original personality anyway.’
The official illustration of the game company is a haggard and tired face in a decadent atmosphere that smells like cigarette butts and gunpowder.
She’s just a completely different person from the current Seo Ah-ram.
‘That would be delicious in its own way….’
I imagine it for a moment.
She has that face and body that I saw when I went to Prestige, and she performs that hard-boiled style?
The dick hunting would be amazing.
‘I should have her do it sometime.’
“Master, we have arrived.”
Before I knew it, we had arrived at Shin Mirae Daily.
“Good work.”
The car stopped at the entrance of Shin Mirae Daily.
The employees who heard the news were swarming out.
I don’t know who they are, but there are middle-aged men with receding hairlines who seem to be high-ranking people, and Seo Hyun-joo, who catches my eye as a crane among chickens in the middle.
Click.
The secretary opens the door, and as I come out, they all bow to me.
“Welcome, young master!!”
The man who greets me in a loud voice seems to be the editor-in-chief or publisher.
He is the highest authority other than me or the board of directors, and in practice, he can be regarded as the final boss.
But I didn’t focus on him.
Now that Shin Mirae Daily belongs to me, Seo Hyun-joo will eventually take the top spot anyway.
It’s only a matter of time.
“Yes. Nice to meet you. I’m Go Mu-yeol, the new owner of Shin Mirae Daily.”
After exchanging greetings, I received the car keys from the driver and threw them to Hyun-joo.
Surprised, she fumbled and caught the keys with both hands.
“It’s your car.”
“!!”
“Go park it.”
After leaving those words, I walked into the building, and Seo Hyun-joo thanked me a beat later.
Well, I could have asked the driver to park it, but it wouldn’t have had as much of an impact, right?
If I’m going to give it, I have to do this kind of performance.
