chapter 107
dark morning road.
Director Yoon, who came out late from the association, got into the back seat of a luxury sedan.
“Go to work.”
The driver stepped on the accelerator. The car drove quietly on the road.
Director Yoon looked at the profile he had just received in the conference room. A handsome young man was smiling round and round.
It was a face that didn’t match well, considering the wild eyes he met in the conference room.
Hyunwoo Kim.
A veteran, Yoo-jung Han’s manager, and a cafe part-timer.
right.
Just Cafe Albada.
A 26-year-old cafe part-timer accidentally hit the president of the association and eventually came to this point.
A year ago, no one would have believed if Kim Hyun-woo, who was still nosebleed, predicted that he would be appointed as a special advisor to the association.
Director Yoon crumpled the paper and talked to himself.
“You’re so cocky, you bastard.”
The appearance of Kim Hyun-woo, who was controlling the directors in the conference room, was not quite right. As if you were the final winner.
Of course, Suwan acknowledged it.
In terms of wins, Kim Hyun-woo won three straight wins with the association.
I stopped trying to blame Lee Ji-ah by firing the president of the association,
He forcibly broke through the obstacles that prevented the founding of the guild,
Eventually, this time, he was appointed as an advisor to the association and gave the directors a shot.
He had the ability to find solutions even in unfavorable situations in many ways. Because of Lee Ji-ah, he was a person who was regretful to have met as an enemy.
But that was it.
In the eyes of Director Yoon, Kim Hyun-woo was a bastard. Not as an insult, but literally.
Cowardly country puppies bark when they are tied up inside a fence, and run away into the house when their leash is untied.
It was the same with Hyunwoo Kim.
He was an asshole who ran wild without knowing the power of social status and money. Lee Ji-ara only believes in the fence and holds onto the leash tightly so as not to lose sight of it.
S-class Hunter Lee Ji-ah.
Clearly, it is not a light name in the hunter industry. However, being a hunter is not given social power.
He is a butcher who catches monsters with blunt words,
He was just a fighter standing on the border between a soldier and a celebrity.
There were many ways to deal with it, even if it wasn’t this way. There was a huge difference in their backgrounds. Director Yoon, who returned to the defense industry company, sat down at his office desk.
He picked up the phone as he tapped the floor with his index finger.
“Director Park, to the office.”
After a while, a man in a suit came in.
“Did you call, sir?”
Director Yoon got up with a cigarette in his mouth. He crossed his arms and sat down at the desk.
“I have one person to deal with.”
“Who is it?”
“You have probably heard of it. My name is Kim Hyun-woo.”
The man’s shoulders stiffened. he asked cautiously.
“Are you talking about yourself?”
“no. That is too dangerous.”
Kim Hyun-woo was a bastard.
But at the same time, he was a very clever guy.
As a celebrity whose face has already been sold as much as possible, the risk of touching it directly was high.
Dealing with it doesn’t necessarily mean killing it. On the contrary, such cases were extremely rare. Because if the truth is ever revealed, there will be an irreversible headwind.
In general, the more famous, the harder it is to ask. With Kim Hyun-woo now, this is an impossible level.
Association High, Magical, S-class Hunter Lee Ji-ah, Kim Hyun-woo,
After all, it was all part of the business.
The reason I am doing this is because I want the association, which is a non-executive director, to grow. Due to the nature of the defense company that produces Hunter equipment, the greater the power of the Association, the more it will benefit the company.
You just have to do what you want.
With minimum risk and maximum return.
“Do your research and start with your family.”
It was a very common but effective method.
There was not a single person who did not come out of dust in the background. Of course, because Kim Hyun-woo’s social career was short, it was difficult to get satisfactory results by beating himself.
When I was in the military, I worked to save people, and after being discharged, I only worked part-time at a cafe for a year.
However, just because you are clean does not mean that the people around you are also clean. Your personality and the personalities of your relatives are separate.
There was a common thing to do during state audits. If you rob even your relatives, you will surely get caught at least one.
If you put them together piece by piece, eventually, Kim Hyun-woo’s morality will be damaged. Now he has earned his association advisory status as a hero who saved 2,000 people.
It is to create an excuse to get him out of the association.
What does this have to do with the appointment of an advisor? It becomes a problem if it is raised through the media.
Because Kim Hyun-woo became a celebrity, it was a noose from which he could not escape.
So, Kim Hyeon-woo is thrown away and he asks the military for cooperation. If you choose another person with a similar career to your liking and place them on the torture seat, that’s all.
Kim Hyun-woo as a part-time cafe worker probably stopped at this point. All of this is tedious work. Every time we bump into the association, we don’t see the end. If you pay attention to the killifish one by one, you tend to miss out on what you really need to do.
However, Kim Hyun-woo pushed his teeth in earnest. I don’t know how Lee Jae-hyuk was roasted, but it was clear that the two were holding hands.
Now, I have stood up as an advisor to the association, not just a manager. The weight could not be the same as before.
This means that, along with Director Yoon, he was recognized as an enemy by the rest of the board of directors.
If so, then the story will be different. It was necessary to trample the buds. Even using dirty methods that were not used before.
“Now go out and work.”
“I will investigate and report it right away.”
Director Yoon waved his hands and took out his cell phone.
After a few words of conversation, an appointment was made for dinner with the chief prosecutor. He rubbed the cigarette he had in his mouth into the ashtray.
“A little blue baby. They fight without knowing how to fight.”
Based on the background investigation, pressure is put on the people around them.
If you harass the people around you, you have no choice but to be affected. They kneel down on their knees and beg Kim Hyun-woo for his life, but can they cut him off?
Unless you want to sever human relationships, in the end, Kim Hyeon-woo has to choose between the two.
Is it Lee Ji-ah, who has only been with you for about a year, or is it family and relatives?
The answer was obvious.
It was the third-rate method to solve it by force.
Of course, it would be best if you didn’t get caught, but the risk of being exposed to the world was too great. Is it worth taking such a risk for Hyun-Woo Kim?
there was no
Even if an enemy appeared, it was the same. Murder and violence were really the last resort. Even with Lee Ji-ah nearby, it wasn’t easy.
People who have a lot to lose never make extreme choices. If not, there are many ways to solve it.
The Republic of Korea was intertwined like a spider’s web among the powerful. This is because the land mass is narrow and the power of the central government is strong.
so that.
If you were in a position to wield the press and public power as a weapon, kicking the ladder was really no big deal.
After a week, Hyunwoo Kim will be neatly organized.

And the next day.
When he received the report, he asked confusedly.
“… … You don’t have any relatives?”
“Yes, my immediate family was caught up in the Red Gate and all died, and since I am the third-generation reader, I have to go up to the eighth cousin to find my relatives.”
Even so, it was unreasonable to tie the pals to Kim Hyeon-woo. In fact, it’s just like anyone else. I never hear anything good.
he asked calmly.
“Any other close people?”
“Since they are currently living in Lee Ji-ah’s house, there are two people named Han Yu-jeong and Seo Ruri.”
“Then look for those two. One will come.”
Saying that, I was about to get my attention, but the man hesitated without going out. he said in a dismayed tone.
“Hey, both of them are orphans.”
“… What?”
“Looking at the registration as a guardian, it seems that Kim Hyun-woo is raising them at all.”
“What’s the bullying?”
“Han Yu-jeong was the first honor student in the entire school, and Seo Ruri is six years old. Neither of them have any relatives.”
“Lee Ji-ah… .”
There were no parents. It was a fact known to those who knew.
“Are there any orphans around? Who is the company representative? Yerim Han is also a survivor of Red Gate, don’t they have something? Seeing they have been together for over 10 years, it doesn’t seem like they’re normal.”
“Even though Han Ye-rim has a family.”
He swallowed his saliva.
“My father, he, is a public official.”
“What is that?”
Usually, prosecutors are the best at killing public officials.
“It’s a high-ranking official, so the size is a bit…”
Director Yoon checked the documents. he wiped his face The dinner appointment with the chief prosecutor was cancelled.
* * *
company representative office.
Lee Ji-ah and Han Ye-rim were sitting next to each other and eating jajangmyeon. Now that everyone in the company knows that we are friends, there was no reason to hesitate.
Of course, even in front of other people, he didn’t act out of ignorance, but he didn’t even bother to hide it.
Han Ye-rim, who was fighting with me over ganjajang, suddenly flipped through the bag. She pulled out her phone, tapped it with her thumb, and asked me.
“When is your mom coming home?”
“Auntie?”
“You must have seen the documentary. I called because I was worried, but he said he didn’t answer, so the bastard of the twins… … .”
I hurriedly turned on my phone.
Whoa! oo our
It vibrates like crazy. I can’t answer this call right now. All sorts of phone calls were coming to me with the business cards I had circulated. It had only been two days since it aired, and it was burning firewood for a long time.
“Tell me a little bit about you.”
“I already texted you.”
“Sent? what did you send look.”
Han Ye-rim sighs and shows her cell phone.
[Yerim: Hyeonu is busy now, so he told me to make an appointment and come. And my mom’s kimchi doesn’t taste good, so please stop sending it.]
aww
He ran to Han Ye-rim and took her cell phone.
“The team leader attacks the company representative!!”
[Yerim: Auntie, that’s Hyeonu, but Yerim was joking. jim phone]
[Yerim: I can’t answer the phone right now. I enjoy eating kimchi.]
[Mrs. Park: Oh, yes, I thought so.]
[Mrs. Park: When are you coming home?]
[Yerim: I will listen to you as soon as the work is finished.]
[Yerim: This is an old lady.]
[Yerim: It was just Yerim.]
An angry Han Ye-rim grabbed my collar.
“Hey, when did I say ‘Ajum-taeng’? Mama misunderstood!”
“So who’s going to pretend to be me first and send a strange text message?”
While fighting over the phone with Ye-rim Han, Lee Ji-ah puts down her chopsticks and stares intently.
“Did you even know each other?”
A sense of alienation oozes out of his voice. Han Ye-rim coughed and stepped back. I answered, opening a can of Coke.
“It’s not like that, it’s just that, when I was in high school, I lost a little bit of debt.”
So, it was after Red Gate.
Lee Ji-ah had an awkward smile, apparently noticing it.
Han Ye-rim, who was watching, turned around.
“Oh right. The first team was filled with hunters.”
“What?”
It was the news that the hunters’ recruitment, which had been sluggish, was finally paying off.
“This time, Hyeonu’s performance was great. Hunters who have only seen it for a while must have decided after watching the documentary. That’s why images are so important. Even under the same conditions, you feel much more attractive.”
The company that used to be a frenzy was finally changing.
Han Ye-rim said while grabbing the sweet and sour pork.
“Now, the 2nd raid is slowly getting out of hand, and you have to do your own thing, don’t you? It seems that Yoojung doesn’t care too much these days.”
“I have to prepare as soon as the association work is finished. That’s what I was thinking–“
Whoa! Woo woo woo!
cell phone keeps ringing it was text It has been very hot since last night. I was annoyed and tried to turn it off, but stopped when I checked the name. It was Lee Jae-hyuk.
[Mr. Hyunwoo! Please help me with the recruitment of the Gate Disaster Response Headquarters!]
[Mr. Hyunwoo?]
[Advisor!!]
[yes]

[Nope]

It is already the beginning.
He poured the remaining soy sauce into his mouth and took his coat.
