Chapter 151 – @21. Company Life in Wind Light
There is one thing that is surprising.
Joo-eun was remitting an amount of 1 million won every month to her mother.
She seems to be a good daughter, at least to her parents.
As a result of her inquiry into the detective’s office, she discovered one or two of her weaknesses.
If it is immediately revealed that the resume she submitted to her company is full of lies, she will be in trouble.
Or it wouldn’t hurt to expose her false wealth.
So now what?
I’m thinking of making her pay her due.
And even confirmed that she made an appointment with her boyfriend that evening.
What. Nothing else useful comes out, so I’ll use this as an opportunity.
As the time for work approached, he sent a message to team leader Jeong, instructing him to set aside the afternoon hours.
And when Joo-eun got up to leave her office, she also went down to her studio and tore up one of her cards that she hadn’t used yet.
Gift Card 〈 Suit & Shoes 〉
The cards disappeared and a nice suit set appeared in front of me.
She took off the clothes she was wearing, put on a dress shirt, trousers and a jacket.
It fits very well, like it was tailored to my body.
What. It came out as a gift card, so of course.
After changing my clothes, I went to the parking lot and got into team leader Jeong’s car.
“Huh? Did you change your clothes?”
“Yes. It’s my first time wearing it, but it’s a bit awkward.”
“No. It suits you very well. Wearing it like that makes you look pretty.”
“What a cutie. It’s good if you don’t look like a gangster.”
“I’m really cute. Um. I’m not a rich boy… Like he said, he looks like a boss.”
Team leader Jeong throws out a word like that and bursts into laughter.
“Sorry… I didn’t mean to make fun of you.”
“It’s okay. I know it well.”
In fact, no matter how expensive clothes you wear, the essence does not change.
Like Team Leader Jeong said, no matter how well he is dressed up, he has to look closely to look like a successful athlete because of his large size and slightly violent face.
Knowing that, I didn’t even think about wearing it when I met other girls.
For me, ready-made clothes that are as inconspicuous as possible are better than these luxurious suits.
“Then shall we depart now?”
“Yes. I will.”
I already spy on her monitor that she is diligently going somewhere after leaving her company.
It seemed that if I left now, I would catch up moderately.
“Can I just do that?”
Team leader Jeong listened to what I had to say and nodded his head.
“And…”
However, my ensuing request gave me quite a bewildered expression.
“I’ll do as you ask. But…”
It is a very uncomfortable face.
“It will be quite fun. Team leader Jung is a very attractive woman.”
“What… I’m so…”
However, there is no woman who would not like to be praised for her charm.
Team leader Jeong smiled softly and unbuttoned one of the buttons on her blouse.
It is also an excellent choice.
Just by unbuttoning her button, her already deadly charm became twice as scary.
Joo-eun walked to a place one subway stop away from the company.
Considering her daily spending, it’s hard to understand why she walks a kilometer, but I know she doesn’t spend her money as sparingly as I thought.
“Is this right?”
In front of a steakhouse on a downtown street, she questioned the fact that I knew Joo-eun would be here.
“I heard you calling earlier.”
“I see.”
It doesn’t matter how she convinces me.
As soon as she went inside, she found Joo-eun sitting by the window across from her.
She was with her pretty handsome man.
Team leader Jeong and I went to the table where the two were sitting.
“Oops! Is it a coincidence?”
Team leader Jung nodded to Joo-eun.
“Huh? Chief Jung! What are you doing?”
At the moment, Joo-eun’s face hardened slightly, but she disappeared so quickly that she could barely notice, and she greeted team leader Jeong with a wide smile.
“I came to talk about our work, and seeing Joo-eun here, I thought I would say hello.”
“Really. That’s great. We’re just here for a date.”
“Really? Then can we sit together? I’ll pay for the meal. This is also a relationship, so don’t sit separately for nothing, let’s eat together.”
“That. Is that so?”
Joo-eun was not very obviously welcome.
For a moment, the thought of how to get rid of her appeared on her face.
“Is this your boyfriend?”
However, at the end of the day, team leader Jeong was already sitting down and talking to the man.
“Hello. I’m Choi Chang-wook.”
The man greeted pleasantly without knowing Joo-eun’s speed.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Jeong Ji-hye and I work at the same company as Joo-eun.”
“Nice to meet you. Joo-Eun’s colleague Hero.”
I greeted them happily and sat down.
She has come so far, but Joo-eun, who has now become difficult to exorcise, puts on a visibly uncomfortable face.
In her eyes, there was a feeling of protest about what the hell she was doing.
“By the way, did you order the meal?”
Team leader Jeong asked the man.
“No. I was just trying to choose.”
“Then let’s choose together.”
Perhaps because of his years of experience, or because he believed my words, Team Manager Jeong led the position with great enthusiasm.
“But wasn’t it a secret between the two of you?”
She couldn’t overcome the uncomfortable screening, and Joo-eun threw a word and had to do it.
“We’re getting along. We just came out hungry after talking about work.”
Team leader Jeong smirkingly passed it over.
Then, while having a comfortable conversation with the man across the street, I started choosing the menu.
“Really? If you give me a bite today, can I eat something delicious?”
Joo-eun bit her lip lightly and asked again with that lively expression.
“Sure. When I say live, let’s do as much as we want.”
Manager Jeong passed over the menu he was looking at.
“Then I won’t.”
A very firm determination appeared on Joo-eun’s face.
“Then do this… Do this… Honey? How about this?”
Joo-eun started ordering the most expensive items on her menu.
Since she ruined the date, it looks like she’s going to have to cry really hard to get rid of it.
“Isn’t that too expensive?”
The man still seems to have common sense. Every time Joo-eun points, she says a word with an apologetic expression.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry, just pick one.”
Team leader Jeong eased the man’s burden with a soft face.
“I’m sorry though…”
“Hey!”
The man was still unsure, but Joo-eun had already started calling the server and doing whatever he wanted.
“And drink with this… Is it okay? Chief Jung.”
He even ordered 21-year-old liquor, comparable to the price of a meal.
If this restaurant had more expensive alcohol, it would not have hesitated.
“Joo Eun-ah…”
The man was embarrassed.
“Yes. Let’s do it. Let’s have an expensive drink for the first time in a while.”
However, Team Leader Jeong still accepted Joo-eun’s order with a soft face.
“Then I will eat well without hesitation.”
Joo-eun smiled bitterly at Team Leader Jeong.
It is written somewhere that you should try eating a trick.
We had a normal conversation until the meal was served.
Her main compliments were Joo-eun’s story about her company life and how skillful she was as a designer.
Of course, Joo-eun is not very happy with such praise.
It’s because I still have no idea what the purpose of Team Leader Jeong and I are sitting here.
“By the way, Mr. Hero, why did you come out dressed so well today?”
Suddenly, Joo-eun asked me a question.
It was the first time she spoke to me.
“Something good happened today, so I tried it on.”
And then I looked at Team Leader Jung once.
With so much love
“Really? But I don’t think it’s normal clothes? What brand is it?”
Is it because I like luxury goods?
What she showed her interest in was the clothes I was wearing.
“It’s a brand called Kiton…”
“Are you really a chiton?”
Joo-eun looks at my clothes with a suspicious face.
“You can’t buy that with Hero’s salary, right?”
“Haha. That’s right. What can I do with my salary? I have a separate income. Neither I nor Joo-eun can’t buy such bags with my salary, right?”
“Huh…”
“Is that an expensive brand?”
As if curious about the man, he asked Joo-eun.
“Yes. Even the cheapest one will be more expensive than my bag. But that’s not the kind of thing when you look at the material. It’s probably more expensive than that person’s annual salary?”
The man is startled by Joo-eun’s words.
“Really?”
And it seems that team leader Jeong, who was sitting next to me, did the same.
“It doesn’t look like you’re wearing someone else’s clothes because they fit well.”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“Where the hell did you get the money to wear that?”
Joo-eun was sensitive to money.
“Actually, a few years ago, a friend of mine bothered me to invest in some coin, so I just put it in there because I didn’t know.”
Hearing that, Joo-eun and the man both made faces of surprise.
What. If you think about it, everyone is interested in coins these days, so there is no better excuse than this.
“How much did you keep?”
Joo-eun quickly asked for the bait.
“It’s okay. In fact, I have money to live on for the rest of my life even if I don’t come to work.”
“Hwiyu! I heard there were people who made money with coins, it was true. I’ve never seen anyone who actually made money with coins.”
The man looks at me with half-curious, half-jealous eyes.
Joo-eun also keeps looking at me.
Of course, it’s not a friendly look.
Rather, it is a look full of greed.
It seems that he is contemplating whether he will be able to rip me out through Team Leader Jeong.
The meal was served by then.
We paused for a moment to enjoy a very hearty meal.
Then, as my stomach was filled up again, questions came and went again.
“But which coin was it?”
The man wanted to hear about my investment experience.
“It’s an altcoin, I’ve never heard of it.”
The answers were prepared in advance.
“Then how much did you put in?”
Joo-eun pretended to ask indifferently and tried to figure out the size of my assets.
“It wasn’t that many at the time. I didn’t expect it to rise that much. When I first remembered it and looked it up, it had already multiplied 100 times.”
“Whisyu!”
The man was still envious.
“Then the friend who recommended that investment to Mr. Hero must have made a lot of money?”
Joo-eun seems to be curious about her imaginary friend who would have made more money.
“That’s not the case. You can just leave it like me, but I took it and put it here and there and it went up and down…”
“Did you blow it all up?”
Slightly disappointed tone.
“It wasn’t like that. But if I had left it alone, I would have really made a fortune. Even now, whenever I meet me, I hear that. It’s a pandemonium.”
“Aha…”
Now, it seems that he is about to give up his interest in that imaginary friend.
We had a conversation about coins for a while, and the meal was over before we knew it.
“I ate well. Team leader.”
Unlike before, Joo-eun greeted cheerfully.
“I enjoyed it too.”
Team leader Jeong greeted Joo-eun’s boyfriend with a smile.
“True. Today is so much fun, don’t just break up here, shall we go for the second round? I’ll shoot that too.”
And team leader Jeong said a word as I ordered.
“I got it so well, until the second…”
The man burst out laughing and showed a sly look.
And since before that man, his eyes have been on Team Leader Jeong’s heart.
“No. If you shoot the second car, the rich should shoot it.”
Joo-eun said.
I don’t know if I’m excited to eat it off today, or if I have other plans.
“I’ll do that. Even if it’s not, I was thinking of making it here too.”
When I said that, both Joo-eun and the man looked at me and nodded their heads.
The man had an expression that said that the person who had the free money would shoot, and the burden was reduced, and Joo-eun had a provocative look saying, yes, let’s see how much he spends.
After leaving the steak house, we moved to the bar.
“This house is the best in town.”
Joo-eun seems to have a good understanding of the entertainment district in this district.
She was leading us to a place that would bring her doom.
