CH 63.2

Under the subtle lighting, on the table with an impressive pattern, there was another table the size of a tray that could be turned around with one hand. It was packed with all sorts of foods.

“I like Chinese food. Ah! Come to think of it, I didn’t ask for Director Sin’s opinion. Do you like Chinese food?”

Executive Director Kim asked with a grin. Then, he flashed his left canine tooth. Wherever he went, Executive Director Kim repeatedly told the story about how he went out to save the chairman, broke several of his teeth when his skull sank in, and one of them was that canine.

And after that, he always added that loyalty does not betray. At this moment, his golden tooth looked funny.

“I eat it once a week.”

Woo-hyun replied with a smile.

“Ah, is that so? That’s good. Well, then you know it. You just have to spin this table and eat what you want.”

While speaking, Kim spun around the table where the food was placed, as if giving him a demonstration. At the quickly revolving table, a plate with Chinese fried chili chicken wobbled with the recoil and the food dropped to the floor. Pieces of food spattered and dirtied Woo-hyun’s feet.

“Oops. I can’t control my force. I brought an important guest, and these motherfuckers gave me a table like this?”

Executive Director Kim, who was glaring at an irrelevant place, looked at Woo-hyun as if he had never done so.

“It looks like your clothes got dirty. Are you alright?”

Executive Director Kim grinned and looked up and down at Woo-hyun. Knowing that it was a deliberate mistake, Woo-hyun’s expression did not change.

“It’s okay. It’s not the first time I get dirty.”

Executive Director Kim’s cheeks hardened at his sarcastic answer, but he soon turned it into a smiling face as if that had never happened.

“That’s right. We get dirty a lot in our job. Anyway, my little brother’s expression doesn’t change at all. Why? Are you feeling bad because I told you to come out?”

Executive Director Kim also threw a sarcastic remark, laughing.

“No. Because this is a job where you go through all sorts of things.”

Woo-hyun folded his eyes and slightly raised the corners of his mouth. It was a smile he put on when doing business.

“I don’t know if you’re really smiling when you smile like that, Director Sin. I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

“Please take it as you see it.”

“I should do that. You should take it as you see it. Absolutely. Ahh, speaking of which, where else can we rely on now, besides us? Isn’t that right? The Chairman said he was going to seize all the places of business, and suddenly, I became an executive director without a single business. Fuck. I’m dumbfounded.”

If the businesses are seized, even the people in those areas will be taken. Him losing all his funds and subordinates was going to be a funny sight. Not only did he seize Executive Director Kim’s section, but he also seized Woo-hyun’s group under the name of restructuring, so he had no way of refusing it. Because if he did, his loyalty would be questioned at this critical time when the empty position of CEO was being given, which was like sharing a big part of the organization since it was a position directly under the chairman.

“He said it was a restructuring, but it’s no different than being suspected… This is why I can’t sleep at night even if I drink kaoliang liquor.”

As if the small glass was not enough, Executive Director Kim poured the kaoliang liquor into a glass of water and drank it. In an instant, half the bottle of liquor had disappeared. Executive Director Kim wiped his mouth with his sleeve, letting out a short exclamation. He put down the bottle with a thud and frowned.

“I mean. Even if they wear good clothes and use expensive things, people don’t change their nature. I still prefer soju to this expensive liquor.”

Executive Director Kim said in a mockery.

“Director Sin, let’s talk comfortably. Little brother, it seems there have been a lot of bad things between us, so I invited you to dinner to shake it off. Let’s eat together, share a drink, and sort out the offensive matters. Isn’t that how boys usually get along? Don’t you think so?”

“…”

When there was no answer from Woo-hyun, Kim’s smiling face slowly hardened. Executive Director Kim’s fingers tapped on the table. He sent a gesture urging him to answer, but there was still no answer, as if he didn’t understand.

“Look, little brother.”

Executive Director Kim sighed deeply and sat in a tilted position.

“If your brother makes a gesture of reconciliation like this, you should know how to accept it. I’m not wearing a cast around my neck. How long are you going to act arrogant? Ah, are you being like this because you trust the Chairman? I’ve known for a long time that you’re following the Chairman. But how long do you think that’s going to last? I don’t see a future for you if you do this to me. Do you know how many bastards the Chairman threw out when they stopped being useful?”

“…”

“If you don’t want to become like me, you have to hold on to me. If I say I’m sorry and beg, can my little brother embrace me?”

Executive Director Kim’s snake-like words wrapped around his body. However, Woo-hyun did not blink and stared at him quietly. There was a heavy silence.

Finally, Woo-hyun opened his mouth, and it was almost simultaneous with the narrowing of Executive Director Kim’s eyes, who was on edge.

“Is that all you wanted to say?”

“… What?”

“It’s disappointing if that’s all.”

Woo-hyun lifted the liquor bottle and poured it into the glass. There was a clear sound that didn’t fit the situation.

“Look, Director Sin.”

“It’s only this much.”

Woo-hyun’s murmur was clearly heard.

“Director Sin, it seems like you’re telling me to listen to you.”

“Didn’t you know? That I told you to listen? Do I have to explain that so that you can understand?”

“This bastard!”

Executive Director Kim’s expression turned fierce.

“Where is the wiretap?”

“What the fuck are you talking about? Why are you looking for the wiretap here?!”

“Do I have to say that it is a wiretapping device to record and bring to the Chairman for you to understand?”

At the same time as Woo-hyun’s question, Executive Director Kim slammed the table with his hands. Woo-hyun’s glass spilled and wet the table.
