chapter 349
349 – Scene 349# Insults
*
Director Choi Jae-man’s face heated up with anger. Park Se-hee saw that and thought.
‘Oh, it’s ruined… ‘ .’
I didn’t say anything wrong, but it wasn’t the right thing to say in this situation where I was missing a piece of information.
In any case, it was clearly his fault that he entered the restricted area. As if that wasn’t enough, he even faced a superior in the company who was like a director.
If you do this, not only will you be digging for information behind your back, but your company life itself may also be disrupted in the future.
Director Choi Jae-man is clearly an authoritarian person. Talking back to a person like this is the same as asking for a fight.
Should I apologize now? Sehee Park was conflicted between her pride and her mission.
She bit her lip. She has nothing to conflict with. It was already decided which one was important.
Park Se-hee opened her mouth heavily.
“Sorry. I’m being presumptuous…”
“Name.”
“Yes?”
“Name and rank. “What is it?”
“Uh… ?”
“I don’t know your name or rank, so why don’t you ask?”
Ah… You’re thinking of coming to our department and overturning it yourself. You are determined to make me resign.
“Park Se-hee… I’m an assistant manager. Until recently, I was in the game testing department and then moved to the operations department…”
“Agent Park Se-hee… Hmm. “I remember.”
I thought about the implicit meaning of the word remember. No matter how you look at it, it’s not a good thing.
I couldn’t bear it once… Ugh. Like a fool! No matter how much I blamed myself, it was already spilled water.
She doesn’t know what to say to Jeong Ji-hwan, who only trusts her.
However, rather than getting angry, Director Choi Jae-man snorted and said.
“Then can I speak informally now?”
“… Yes?”
“I know your name and rank, so I’ll speak informally.”
Park Se-hee was dumbfounded and speechless for a moment, but then she noticed that the anger had disappeared from her face.
“Things are really bold these days. He looks young, but considering he rose to the position of assistant manager, he seems like a successful employee. “Am I right?”
Has the anger just disappeared? Rather, the way people look at her has changed to look more favorable towards her.
That’s a good sign. He actually views her boldness
“… “I’m not saying you can speak informally even if you know the name and rank.”
“How did we get here? Assistant Manager Sehee Park. The basement must be a restricted area.”
“Ah, I’m visiting Miss Jeong So-ra…”
“Hmm? Is this by any chance Jeong So-ra’s family? She was told that she only had her brother her her her her.”
“Oh, I’m his brother’s girlfriend his… “It’s not, it’s an acquaintance.”
In an instant, I almost figured out that it was her girlfriend. She was originally going to say it was her female friend. However, no matter how rude Director Choi Jae-man is, an elder is an elder. I feel like if I say something like my girlfriend’s friend for no reason, my tail will be stepped on… Then the words came out in vain. Anyway, that was it.
“Okay? So she just received a pass.”
“Yes.”
“Assistant Manager Park Se-hee. “Do you want to see what we’re doing here?”
I was speechless due to the sudden question.
Park Se-hee, wondering if he was trying to trick her, answered slyly.
“No. I just took a wrong turn…”
“Joy… It bounces. But that’s what I like about her.”
“… Yes?”
“If you want to see me, there’s nothing I can’t show you.”
Director Choi Jae-man asked as he grabbed the doorknob with a no-entry sign on it.
“Do you want to see inside this place?”
She hesitated about what to say. It seemed like they wouldn’t show it to me if I said I wanted to see it, and it was a shame to say I didn’t want to see it.
But… Now is not the time to be overly ambitious. Park Se-hee’s intuition said so.
“No. Not really…”
“Hmm. Really?”
“Yes.”
“I get it. Then, I will guide you to where the elevator is.”
“As far as the director doesn’t need to do that…”
“Okay, follow me. If we get lost again, we’ll be in trouble.”
Director Choi Jae-man took the lead, snapping his fingers. Park Se-hee followed him without saying anything.
Since I didn’t know how related he was to CEO Park, I thought he shouldn’t receive his favor.
I think it would be safer to collect information from some distance.
“Director. But isn’t that room just where the development department is located?”
“Development department? Haha… Well, you can say yes or you can say no.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“CEO Park is a genius among geniuses. “He is the most incredible genius I have ever seen.”
The answer to the alumni document has been returned.
It seemed like the kind of situation to talk about, but questions came in right away.
“Park Se-hee. How many people do you think created Milky Way?”
Milky Way is a next-generation device made with BCI (Brain Computer Interface) technology. A virtual reality reproduction device that realizes the world in a person’s head into a game.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was all thanks to Milky Way that Stellar became one of the world’s leading companies today.
“Well, wasn’t it created by the people in the development department who gathered around CEO Park?”
“It’s usually not known that way. But would you believe me if I told you that CEO Park made it alone?”
“Yes? “Are you alone?”
Still, it was hard to believe.
Even though she didn’t know much, she knew that Milky Way was no ordinary machine.
When Milky Way was revealed to the world, it became such a hot topic that people joked that it was created by torturing aliens.
But CEO Park created such a machine alone?
“… No matter how genius the CEO is, it’s hard to believe that he created Milky Way by himself.”
“Haha. That’s right. But what if it’s true that he made it alone?”
“If you ask people at the company right now, they probably won’t think that way. There was no such story in the media.”
“He hates being the center of attention. Even now, people praise him as a genius, so what if the story goes around that he created Milky Way alone?”
“… It will be a hassle.”
“Okay. So, first of all, we have a separate development department. It was all made by CEO Park, but he couldn’t believe me even if I told him anyway, so I reluctantly made it… It’s broken in name “Only.”
I had no idea.
I can’t believe that CEO Park created Milky Way by himself. It was hard to believe it, but considering what he did to Jeong Ji-hwan’s siblings… It didn’t seem like a completely absurd story.
No, but there was something else that bothered me from earlier.
“But, Director.”
“Huh?”
“Why are you telling me that?”
Today is the first time I saw these two people.
No matter how much Director Choi Jae-man viewed Park Se-hee favorably, there was no way he would just reveal confidential information.
We arrived in front of the elevator before we knew it.
Choi Jae-man grinned at Park Se-hee’s wary question.
“I like it because you are quick to notice. “If I’m not mistaken, you seem to have a lot of questions about the company.”
“…”
“Ah. But don’t be too wary. “I don’t hate people who are loyal to the company like you.”
“So?”
“If you want to know more about this company, why not become my secretary?”
“Yes?”
“My secretary’s position is now vacant. And I don’t really like obedient people. Rather, I like bold people like assistant managers.”
A secretary. Are you really scouting now?
“Hmm. Thank you for your words, but I have work to do right now…”
“Ah, of course, I think it’s a waste of what we’ve done so far. I understand. But I can promise you that I will treat you in a way that it won’t be a waste at all.”
Park Se-hee had no way of knowing his feelings
I didn’t know if he had noticed something suspicious about Park Se-hee, or if he really liked her and wanted to keep her by his side of her.
I felt very uncomfortable.
Park Se-hee got into the elevator. And then she spoke to Director Choi Jae-man, who was waiting for her answer.
“Then I’ll think about it.”
“Okay. Let’s meet again.”
Director Choi Jae-man smiled and waved his hand.
Park Se-hee responded with a flawless smile.
Of course, while repeatedly hitting the elevator’s close button with my finger.

Needless to say, immediately after Blanche declared that she would become my concubine, her position was completely turned upside down.
“I’m doing this so that I can be with you, young lady.”
“I know she wants to be with me, but she doesn’t need to be the count’s concubine.”
“No. As the Count said, I think I should get married.”
“Why does he have to be a count!”
In the end, Bella made a loud noise.
However, Blanche spoke without changing her expression.
“Sorry. Miss. I can’t help it. In order for me to stay by her side for the longest time, it is most convenient and reasonable for me to be the Count’s concubine.”
“… “It’s not comfortable for me at all.”
“You have to endure that.”
“What if I don’t want to endure it?”
“You have to endure it even if you don’t like it.”
Bella and Blanche had a sharp argument without any compromise. These two people showed off their long-standing friendship beyond the master-servant relationship. As far as I know, this is probably the first time these two people have fought.
I first separated the two people and sent Wendy and Helga to calm them down.
So, with no one left in the living room, I decided to take a walk around the grounds of the mansion to cool off for a while.
“Under…” .”
I can’t help but sigh.
I was already upset because of Wendy, but this time it was Blanchet.
She once lived as an assassin in our family, and after being abandoned, she was saved by the Isaac Hel family. Because of that past, he had hatred towards me and even attempted my life.
But that too is now a thing of the past.
Her hatred toward me has long since faded.
She became one of my trusty helpers, and it was an exaggeration to say that she would never die from an unexpected attack.
But she suddenly wants to be my concubine? Are you serious?
Of course, this does not mean that Blanchet is inadequate as she concubines her. She is a woman who is too much for me and never lacks anything.
However, I didn’t know why she wanted to become my concubine.
As she becomes her former assassin, Blanchet is an adept at hiding her own emotions. She seems to be able to do that, but the problem is that she is not good at expressing her emotions.
Since she was young, she was forced to live as a first-class assassin and learn the art of murder.
Thanks to that, I had no idea what Blanche was thinking.
Of course… Nevertheless, there were times when a strange atmosphere flowed between the two of us.
A representative example is what happened in the north. She thought Bella was playing with her her feet and tried to get revenge on her, but it turns out she had touched Blanche’s leg her her her.
In the process of resolving the misunderstanding about the matter, Blanchet showed a somewhat friendly feeling towards me.
She said that if I remember correctly, when she wears her tights, it’s a sign that she can touch herself.
It was a so-called green light statement, but I didn’t really care.
As mentioned earlier, Blanchet is very poor at expressing her emotions. Because of that, I was confused as to whether she really liked me or not.
Of course she didn’t think she had any feelings for me. She thought so or else she would just be embarrassed.
I didn’t really care whether Blanche wore full body tights in front of me or not.
Huh?
But there was a time when Blanche didn’t wear her tights… Go?
“Count.”
A low voice came from above her head.
I was so caught up in my thoughts that I didn’t notice the figure approaching me.
When I looked up, a large man was looking down at me.
“Game… ?”
“A long time. Count.”
Gael Wolfbert, whom I met after a long time, had grown a beard and was standing with a wild look.
Even though he had already retired from the front line, he was a warrior to the core and wore a greatsword and heavy armor as if it were everyday clothes.
By the looks of it, are you here to meet Helga’s mother, Mabel?
Since handing over the head of the family to Patrick, Gail has been visiting my mansion like this more often.
I guess they came to see Mabel and Helga. But I don’t know if it’s okay to stop by so often with Hildegarde, my true wife.
“I heard the story. “He said he was going to marry my daughter.”
For a moment, I had to hold my breath without realizing it. How did the news reach his ears?
I didn’t really try to hide it, but it’s a fact that should have been made known through my mouth, but I’m embarrassed that Gail brought it up first. But it felt weird to be embarrassed now, so I decided to be shameless again.
“Yes. “I plan to marry Helga.”
“… Hmm. That’s right.”
I looked at Gail’s her expression her her her. His face was so stiff that I felt nervous for no reason.
When I think of the person who will become my father-in-law, I worry about everything.
Are you really going to say that I can’t give it to my daughter?
Fortunately, Gale quickly calmed down and patted my shoulder.
“Then it is indeed a happy thing. “If the two prestigious families of the empire merge, their status will rise.”
“… That’s right.”
I thought I would say something because it created a heavy atmosphere, but I guess I was mistaken.
“So when do you plan on doing it?”
“When? Ah… “You mean a wedding?”
“I’m not talking about a wedding.”
“Then?”
Gale did not answer my question and took out the great sword he was carrying on his back.
“Go for it.”
You mean to attack me?
“… “What are we going to do now?”
“It’s okay to use weapons. It’s okay to use magic, and it’s okay to use cowardice.”
“… “I don’t understand, but are you picking a fight with me?”
“It’s the opposite. Count. “You are challenging me.”
“Me to you?”
What kind of novel bullshit is this?
Gale didn’t even answer my question and instead held a greatsword as tall as a person.
“If you want something, get it with force… Haven’t you heard this?”
“Family motto of the Wolfbert family? What does that mean?”
“You still don’t understand? “If you want to marry my daughter, you must first receive recognition from me, her father.”
An electric current began to flow through Gale’s body hers. Are you serious?
“Now, attack with the determination to kill. Count. The defense will yield to you. Even if I use any means, I will not criticize you for being cowardly.”
“… I have no intention of fighting with you. Gail.”
“What?”
“Helga and I have already made a promise to our future. So now there is nothing to achieve by force.”
“I won’t achieve it by force… ?”
At that moment, an unusual air current flows from Gale.
What? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
His fists she were shaking.
“That means my daughter… Are you saying you’re going to get my daughter for nothing?!”
“I said I had no intention of fighting with you.”
“Count! “My daughter is not free!”
“… “I didn’t say a word like that.”
“She insults her only daughter by calling her free… !”
“Are you listening to me?”
“I can’t stand it when you insult me, but I can’t stand it when my daughter is insulted! Take up arms!”
You’re not listening at all.
