The Engagement Was Broken Off at the Wedding Hall

chapter 26



26 – 2-11. S Company’s rivals do not appear in this episode either.

At first, rumors circulated that it was simply poor construction.

The painting is not done well or the interior treatment is not good enough.

Later, problems with soundproofing were raised and cracks were discovered on the wall.

As things went on, the incident got bigger and bigger, but nothing major has happened yet.

It was familiar in a way. The people of this country.

You might have thought that getting kicked out by a construction company wasn’t a one-day thing, and that this was a common occurrence.

However, there are degrees of passing it off as common.

─Rumbling!

“…What the hell.”

The underground parking lot visible beyond the MeTube screen collapsed.

The thin and thin rebar visible here and there is a bonus.

The incident has gone too far to be dismissed as common.

It wasn’t at a scale that could be hidden even if it was hidden.

“It’s finally arrived.”

Sh Sunsal Construction and S Company Kickback Case.

I have already completed all preparations.

..

.

I entered the company.

Numerous glances from those around you.

It is far from favor. A voice whispering and whispering.

Eyes busy criticizing others.

Even if the truth is not the same, these are the people who will continue to criticize people, saying that there will be smoke coming from a dirty chimney.

‘Because Assistant Manager Lee was like that too.’

I knew her because I was close to her.

That she was never the one to commit her infidelity.

However, once a rumor spreads, it cannot be easily changed no matter how much you want to change it.

As it is commonly said, smoke rises from chimneys, but in the first place, people tend to be more obsessed with someone’s flaws than with someone’s unfairness.

“”””……………………….””””

‘…It was like this.’

As soon as I entered the department, it suddenly became quiet.

Countless employees, assistant managers, and managers are looking at me.

In the past, it was just one person, Assistant Manager Lee, but now the entire department is targeting me.

A place where even breathing is difficult.

I somehow managed to sit down and breathe quietly, and Changsik came closer to me.

“Brother.”

“Go away.”

And then you get hooked too.

When you bow, you must also know how to bow.

“I trust you, brother.”

“…………”

I wonder if Assistant Manager Lee felt the same way when he looked at me.

I pushed Changsik away, saying that was enough.

“You’re doing a good job, Yoo Hyeon-seong.”

“…Mr. Lee.”

“Don’t call me assistant manager. You’re going to leave soon anyway, right?”

“…………..”

This time, the assistant manager approached me.

“Do you think he went in instead of me to do this? That’s just like Mr. Hyunseong.”

“………….”

I was sparing in words.

No matter what I say from now on, I won’t listen.

“….Disgusting bastard.”

“I’m sorry.”

I could only do it like this.

I couldn’t think of anything other than this number.

Perhaps the assistant manager could have come up with a better number than me.

If the assistant manager, not me, had returned—what can we do with what has already happened?

“Mr. Hyun-seong. And Mr. Du-kim. Let me see for a moment.”

“”…………””

I stood up from my seat.

Now it’s time to go.

“You took kickbacks?”

I quietly bowed my head in front of the manager.

“Yes…You can get it. But if you’re going to get it, you have to get it without getting caught!!”

Actually, it is meaningless.

Everyone passed by the custom.

I came across this out of habit.

I thought it would happen again this time and moved on.

And the result exploded like this.

“I…Don’t know. Get ready to leave your seats.”

“I’m sorry, Chief! I’ll never do something like this again!”

“Be loud and get out of your seat!”

Sounds coming and going.

I quietly looked at the two.

“Yoo Hyeon-seong. You said you were good at something—no, no, that’s not it.”

The eyes turn towards me as well.

Just as his angry eyes were about to stab me, the manager trembled and stared at me.

“You…Knew it from the beginning, right?”

“I knew.”

I answered obediently.

I knew it from the beginning.

I knew it would blow up like this.

“So you didn’t stop me?”

“……Ha. I was an asshole.”

A voice full of guilt.

I slowly shook my head.

“That’s not true. Even if I were the manager in the first place, I would have made the same choice.”

“Still, I’m sorry. If I had been a little wiser──”

“─Will you listen to me this time?”

“…….?”

A look of curiosity.

I asked the manager again.

“There are still ways to turn things around.”

“…Hyunseong. I won’t listen to you this time.”

“Please do so. If even this is rejected, there is no real answer.”

“….??”

Mr. Du Kim looks at me as if asking what I’m talking about.

‘What are you talking about?’

You sound like a dick.

********************************************

The price of trust is betrayal.

The price of trust is destruction.

Things I deeply feel during my student days, during my college years, and even after becoming an employee.

It was the same this time too.

I showed my true feelings to someone.

The result ultimately led to loss.

‘I’d rather…Do it better.’

Maybe it will expand to the point where you won’t even get jealous.

What is kickback money?

Are you selling our trust for just a small amount of money?

And if you’re going to eat it, don’t worry about getting caught, right? You’re even going so far as to brag about it.

“Bogbigi …!”

You idiot, you scumbag.

You trash bastard with no answers.

Thinking of it as punishment for power may make you feel relieved, but it still made you feel uneasy.

I chewed and chewed and chewed, but I was not satisfied.

Even though I swore and kicked the floor, I couldn’t calm down.

“….f*ck you.”

It’s so boring.

It felt like my chest was filled with steam.

I couldn’t concentrate on work.

It was clear that this would have an impact during the promotion period.

‘Please…Come to your senses, Lee Tae-ri.’

This is how a bastard with a flashy appearance gets dragged wherever he wants.

Regardless of whether that bastard f*cks up or not, I have to follow my path with integrity.

I lightly slapped both cheeks with both hands to wake myself up.

“Good…..”

Let’s go.

Let’s start again.

This time, there are no gaps left, and I am the only one who is perfect——as expected of you, my brother! I believed it oh oh oh!!!──Hee?!

“Big, cold!”

I suddenly heard a loud noise.

As he gently patted his chest and took a breath, intern Choi Chang-sik waved his hand and shouted.

“Look at this! I told you my brother isn’t the type of person to do this!”

“……?”

He holds the cell phone in his hand and stirs it around.

What is the point of asking someone to look at it in a different way?

Just as I was about to open my mouth to tell them not to make a fuss, the employees stood up one by one and began to express their admiration.

“What is this…?”

“Hyunseong is awesome!”

“You’ve been uploading everything since this time?”

“My brother is a man with a plan!”

“…Hmm?”

A strangely untidy atmosphere.

Everyone’s attention was focused on their cell phones and monitors.

Everyone is showing each other admiration.

‘I’d like to know too.’

Originally, even Hyeonseong would have come and told me——ah, no.

What can you do now by talking about that bastard?

“Has everyone had a party now? What are you doing now when you’re not working?”

I raised my voice and shouted.

Please don’t do that and mind your own business.

When I turned my attention to the monitor again and tried to get some work done─

“A feast? It’s a feast. There was a feast, not my sister-in-law… But the assistant manager!”

“Mr. Changsik?”

─A scene where Mr. Changsik himself holds up his cell phone and shows it.

Numerous posts on MeTube videos.

And among them, the one that stands out the most is

[I feel wronged, Ms. Yoo, an employee of Company S. Reveal the true story!]

“…………”

I don’t want to see you.

I didn’t want to see that person appear on social media, in photos, or anything else.

‘But….’

Why?

Fingers move.

The thought of “Maybe, but, just in case” Comes to mind.

‘Don’t be damned.’

That can’t be possible.

Don’t have strange expectations.

Nothing works out well because you have such expectations!

I cried out loudly in my heart and tried to repeat it, but my fingers slowly pressed the play button.

Like that

[Mr. Yoo is known to have been investigating the case about a month ago─]

The truth is revealed one by one.

[Questions about actual labor and material costs─]

I personally investigated several times.

[With reports submitted several times in advance─]

I complained several times that this incident was not good.

[Based on the audio records, it appears that the kickback incident is also not relevant─]

The effort of struggling with all my might.

[However, due to Mr. Domo’s atrocities, this was aborted─]

In the end, it disappears due to the actions of just one person.

[───Mr. Yoo is complaining of injustice.]

“───Ah….”

I am

What did you do…?

..

.

A few days later.

The Sh Sunsal Construction and S Company bribery cases have been concluded.

The cause is said to have been caused by the trolling behavior of one employee.

Another employee of Company S looked for the cause of all the problems and loudly said that the building was dangerous, but this was ignored.

I don’t know about Sh, but at least S Company was able to protect its name through tail cutting and witch hunting.

[‘…You’re all being fooled…You’re all being fooled by that bastard!’]

“…………”

Of course, Dodukim was not only fired from Company S, but also taken to the police and arrested.

Even if you want to deny your guilt, there is too much evidence.

On the other hand, in the case of Hyeonseong─

“I’m back!”

“Oh my gosh, Yoo Hyeon-seong! The best luck in our company has arrived!”

─The welcome ceremony started with a bear hug from the manager.

“Brother! I believed in this younger brother until the end!”

“The guy who believes that is putting candy in the desk drawer? He’s not even a high school girl anywhere.”

“But wasn’t it still helpful?”

“It was just as powerful as candy.”

Thank goodness.

I’m really glad it ended well.

The following words: I trusted you.

‘Me too….’

Did you believe it?

No, no.

Instead of believing, I distrusted with all my might.

‘I…..’

Instead of comforting me, I was insulted.

Instead of cheering, I shouted at them to turn off quickly.

A record that cannot be hidden. Actions that have already been completed.

“………………….”

I can’t approach you.

I could never join the crowd of people noisily saying hello to each other.

More than words of comfort.

More than just saying hello.

‘I’m sorry….’

Words of apology, words of apology were needed.

Assistant Manager Lee Tae-ri waited and waited for the person to leave, looking for a situation in which he would apologize.

“Could you come for a moment?”

“Huh?…I wonder what’s going on at the company again…?”

“That’s not it, it’s a bit personal.”

“Then what?”

A chance I finally found.

Unfortunately, it seemed like I would be a little late, but I followed up and went up.

‘When the story is over’

Let’s meet as if we were meeting each other naturally.

You can apologize later.

Buy me drinks and feed me delicious food.

It may be difficult to be completely forgiven, but if you apologize with all your might, wouldn’t this ease your mind a little?

‘…Selfish b*tch.’

For a moment, I felt disgust at my own thoughts.

There is nothing we can do. But it’s more painful to stay still.

“I roughly know the situation.”

“Circumstances? Ah, that’s right. Maybe it’s because I want to receive separate compensation──”

“─Chief.”

“…Hyunseong.”

Lee Tae-ri quietly waited for the conversation between the two to end──

“I will take responsibility and resign.”

‘───?!!’

That was her notice to her.

Your mistake

A unilateral notification that there will be no turning back for eternity.
