Chapter 252 – A Very Reasonable Conclusion
My strategy was divided into two parts.
The first is to appeal, ‘There is nothing special between us’.
The company worked hard to reveal that me and Soye, Haeun, and Minji were just business partners.
The method was simple.
Instead of being kind to each other, it’s just a matter of showing a cold side from time to time.
“For meals, take the lunch box you bought. I will eat outside.”
“After the lesson, the break is exactly 10 minutes. After resting, we move. I’ll wait outside.”
“The game is only one hour a day. No more.”
Unlike usual, we don’t eat together, keep our schedule like a knife, cut Minji’s game…
Anyone can see ‘Hmm, that manager rolls his staff a lot! You don’t seem to have any affection at all!’
‘But this alone is not enough.’
This much is just an appeal that we are not close, it was not an appeal that we do not date.
So, the important thing was to appeal to the second plan, that is, to go on a date with Cheonbom.
“Boss, then I will go first today.”
To this end, before leaving work, I deliberately dropped by the place where the southern manager was to say hello.
“Uh? Already? Are you done?”
After that day, the southern director treated me as if nothing had happened.
On the surface, there seems to be no problem, but that was rather unsettling.
Even though I saw a strange tiger man (?), I don’t have any questions, in other words, doesn’t it mean that I don’t confide in me?
This is very dangerous, a sign that you doubt me.
That’s why this second operation becomes important.
“Yes, I did everything I had to do today. And I have some appointments.”
“Promise…?”
The southern chief who listens to my words of promise.
He’s probably thinking of something like an appointment with Mr. Tiger.
Right at this time, give a twist!
“I decided to go on a date with Bom.”
It’s not what you think.
I’m going on a date with a girl, and that’s more not Queens, but my sweetheart!
By saying this on purpose, I am imprinting the fact that ‘I am flirting with Cheonbom’.
It was filthy awkward, but he took off his last name and appealed to his friendliness.
“Didn’t the manager do the same last time? Cheon…Bom, take good care of me.”
“Ah, that’s right, that’s right… Good job, have a good time.”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work. Then I’m fine.”
After saying that, I went outside while sneaking a glance at the southern chief.
He didn’t react much, but he might follow me like last time.
‘I asked Cheonbom to come to the company in case that’s the case.’
I deliberately called in front of the company, so the southern manager or other people will be able to witness us going together.
If you show him holding hands or even crossing arms, he’ll definitely be able to appeal to you that you’re dating.
Well, that’s the perfect way.

On the other hand, Lee Se-jin is doing his best to perform the smoke screen operation.
Chief Secretary Yoo Ga-hye came home and was taking a proper bath after a long time.
“It’s been a while since I took a break…”
She is always insanely busy with a project with the CEO in the position of secretary, but she also had to work as an idol manager who was not familiar with it.
Thanks to that, he was so busy every day that he couldn’t even take part in one of his few hobbies, the bath.
That’s why she was so happy to be soaking in the bath for the first time in a long time.
“I’m glad the manager’s job is over…”
I was criticized by the representative for failing to train Kim Winter, but thanks to that, I was able to take my hands off the job.
Sometimes failure helps.
“It’s not a failure…How hard I worked.”
It was only worse than Lee Se-jin, but Kim Gyeol’s performance improved tremendously.
Compared to the time when Honey Girls were making porridge before, the difference in skill level is enormous.
Isn’t that enough to be honest?
“I think Lee Se-jin is good at it, not me.”
By the way, what order did he give and how did he make it so free and lively to train the kids?
The doctor says he still hasn’t figured out what the order was…
“It is strange. Obviously, this version of the app is higher… And the number of commands that can be issued is higher…”
How does someone who can’t command more than me succeed?
What kind of special order are you giving?
Or do you not give orders?
“…Huh?”
At the thought she had just had, Ga-hye Yoo stood up without realizing it.
“I didn’t give an order… I mean, are you not using the app?”
Come to think of it, I had never seen Lee Se-jin give orders to the kids.
He took a sneak peek at what he was doing following the CEO’s orders, but even then he didn’t see him giving orders.
Obviously, there was no such thing on CCTV.
“No way…”
This is something you should check out right away.
Yu Ga-hye hurried out of her bath and recorded a schedule on her cell phone scheduler called ‘Treading on Lee Se-jin’.
***
On the other hand, Nambujang’s thoughts while watching Lee Se-jin’s smoke screen operation were a little different from his expectations.
‘What on earth is Sejin really like?’
Did you call a person who looked very tall as your father?
Isn’t Sejin still married?
So, did she call her lover’s father that way?
‘The chairman wasn’t Cheon Bom’s or Ha Eun’s father.’
Coincidentally, Nambujang had met Im Ha-eun’s father in the past.
It was because Ha-eun Lim had a fight right after the interview, so he visited Ha-eun Lim and his partner’s parents and negotiated this and that.
Besides, he had never met Cheonbom’s father in person, but he had seen him on video.
He was a well-known and famous vocalist, so it was very easy to find him even if he had no contact.
But the gang leader-like man I saw yesterday was absolutely not the two of them.
‘Could Sejin be the father?’
There is no possibility.
A man who seemed so suspicious and stern he might have educated himself to call himself his father.
So, the conclusion is simple.
‘Ahhh… Sejin was such a high-ranking person!’
This is an area that should not be delved into.
You can’t pretend to know.
With that thought in mind, Nambujang didn’t say much to Lee Se-jin and stayed calm.
The problem was then.
‘Apart from that, I should check to see if I’m having a fling with Haeun?’
With that thought in mind, Nambujang stopped cowering and observed Lee Se-jin and The Queens little by little, and soon realized a strange thing.
‘Why are they keeping such a distance?’
Unlike usual, it was so strange to see the four of them clearly keeping their distance.
If it was like the old days, wouldn’t we have eaten together and given enough time to rest after lessons?
Besides, how many times have you seen Sejin and Minji playing games together?
Why do you want to keep a thorough distance all of a sudden?
‘Besides, he went on a date with Cheonbom as if he wanted to see me…’
It was nice to see her happy when she said she was dating Cheon Bom.
Seeing a guy who had been working only find happiness and enjoy it in his own way, he was even pleased with the memories of dating in his youth.
But now you’re bragging too openly.
‘I think he wants to appeal that he and Ha-eun have nothing to do with each other?’
He was the southern chief who would not have been suspicious in the past, but now he is the one who has doubts about everything about Lee Se-jin.
Not just about his relationship with his kids, but about himself.
Under such circumstances, doing this only made him look even more suspicious.
‘There is no physical evidence, so I can’t say anything… If left alone, it might explode like a time bomb.’
It is impossible to control only with a heart attack.
If so, what is needed is physical evidence or witnessing.
‘I’ll have no choice but to keep looking to make sure the bomb doesn’t explode.’
With that thought in mind, he was a southern chief secretly prying behind Lee Se-jin little by little, and that figure was soon discovered by Yu Ga-hye.
‘Southern manager? What the hell are you doing?’
Originally, she was Yoo Ga-hye, who was trying to follow Lee Se-jin slightly.
She tried to find out if he was giving orders to her kids, and if so, what, but in the process, she found out that Nambujang was following Lee Se-jin.
If you see something unexpected, the first thing you should do is make a reasonable guess.
As she wondered why the southern chief followed Lee Se-jin, she quickly came to an unexpected conclusion.
‘Could it be that Lee Se-jin was caught using a hypnosis app!?’
The information she knows is ‘the southern director is following Lee Se-jin’.
And the thought I was thinking was ‘I don’t know what command Lee Se-jin is giving with the hypnosis app, maybe he isn’t giving orders’.
The moment this information and thoughts were mixed, a very ‘reasonable’ conclusion jumped out from Yu Ga-hye’s point of view.
‘This isn’t good.’
Do I have to deal with the southern section as well?
However, it is impossible to easily deal with the southern section.
He’s a competent person, so even if he can’t do his job suddenly, he’ll be suspicious, and it’s even more pointless to send him somewhere…
‘Damn it, I need to check how far I got caught. And if it’s possible, I’ll try to fix it, and if not, I’ll have to report it to the CEO and the doctor… !’
Yu Ga-hye’s tracking target changed to the southern commander.
***
“Sejin-ah.”
On the way home, in the van.
Soye called me with a lonely voice.
“Huh? Why?”
“These days, we deliberately stay away from each other… Is that meaningful?”
“Of course.”
She continues to appeal that she is keeping her distance from her children and dating Cheonbom, so Nambujang doesn’t respond much and just does what he has to do.
If she had doubts between me and the kids, she would have been rambling around and asking various things due to her southern nature, but there is no such thing?
It means that the suspicion of the southern director is successfully subsiding.
If you hold on like this for a little longer, his doubts will surely disappear.
“Do you really want to?”
“Little… I’m anxious…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
I soothed Ha-eun and Min-ji with a confident voice.
“No problem, everything is going well.”
With full confidence.
