20 – 20. in Campus (1)
“This bastard!!!”
Kwahng!!
Crash!!
As soon as Manager Seo Woo-sung returned to his office, he began flipping over the desk.
Each item on the desk was expensive enough to make an ordinary person think twice before buying, but Manager Seo had no hesitation in destroying them.
“Damn it! Damn it! This son of a b*tch!! How dare he reveal those trashy teeth in front of Grandfather?”
If he seemed like a docile dog in front of Chairman Seo earlier, now he had a completely demonic face.
“You son of a biiitch!!!”
Bbaggaak!!
Another item flew, shattering into pieces.
A man was standing near the place where the object had flown.
He is Kim Sunwoo, the team leader of the business development team.
He was a figure pushed out of the power structure for failing to captivate the heart of CEO Seo Taehan. But he fought to survive, eventually grasping the hand of Seo Woosung, the next powerful figure in Seo Hwa Group, and stayed by his side.
Team leader Kim Sunwoo also attended the overseas branch merger meeting. Thanks to that, he knew well what kind of results a word from the chairman could bring about.
And why Seo Woosung was acting this way.
With both hands together, Team leader Kim waited until Seo Woosung’s anger subsided.
He had something to say, but he knew it would be meaningless to say it now.
Thud!
With the final act of destruction, Seo Woosung took a deep breath.
“D*mn it… Hoo… This brat… Hoo… If I let him go… Hoo… Look at me…”
Experience quickens reaction time.
Team leader Kim quietly murmured, knowing that Seo Woosung would no longer flare up.
“Sir. Do you have a plan?”
Seo Woosung looked at Kim with an intense gaze.
“A plan? Do I need a plan just to catch that brat? Seo Woosung of Seo Hwa Group??”
He was already quite agitated.
He might not have realized that blood vessels could burst in his eyes any moment.
Now is the time to placate him.
Team leader Kim spoke as politely as possible.
“Wouldn’t it be better to make a plan and handle it smoothly in order to catch him?”
Team leader Kim Sunwoo is ambitious.
Right now, he was at ease because there was no one to check Senior Executive Seo. But if the shares of Director Seo Woojin rise, the situation would change.
So, it’s time to use his head.
If he doesn’t do something here, he might end up being rejected by Senior Executive Seo, just like he was rejected by President Seo Taehan.
Team leader Kim has only one strategy.
To become indispensable to Senior Executive Seo.
Senior Executive Seo straightened his back and asked, “Smoothly? Does Team Leader Kim have something in mind?”
“Do you know about Manager Byeon Hwan in the PR department?”
“I don’t. Who is he?”
“He’s a staff specialized in handling internet rumors. But that’s not the important part. It’s the fact that he knows a very capable person.”
At the word “capable,” Senior Executive Seo showed curiosity.
As Team Leader Kim explained in detail, Senior Executive Seo chuckled and said, “Call Manager Byeon right away.”
When the cleaning of Senior Executive Seo’s office was almost finished, Manager Byeon Hwan from the PR department arrived.
Although the cleaning was almost done, there were still traces of destruction everywhere, so Manager Byeon had no choice but to swallow his irritation.
But this could be an opportunity.
No, it could be the only chance to rise to a higher position.
“Oh my. Manager Byeon Hwan, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?” Senior Executive Seo greeted with a friendly face and extended his hand.
Hand in hand in a haphazard manner, Director Byun.
Actually, it’s the first time meeting in person.
But given what he said, it should be considered a long-awaited reunion.
Director Byun bowed deeply as if he were a sinner, still holding hands.
“It’s been a while, Manager Seo.”
“Ah, why like this? Lift your head. We’ll be seeing each other often from now on. Come, come. Please, have a seat here for now.”
The phrase ‘we’ll be seeing each other often’ stuck in Director Byun’s mind.
Now, he must accomplish his purpose for coming here with a resolve to die.
“I heard from Manager Kim that you have a very capable friend with you?”
When Manager Kim asked me to come here, he mentioned the kind of person needed.
The so-called ‘Abyss Specialist’ reporter, Hong Jindae, whom I got to know while in the PR department.
A journalist who can turn a well-reputed young IT CEO into trash overnight or swiftly turn a promising politician into a traitor.
An individual specialized in finding a specific person’s weaknesses, igniting public opinion like a wildfire, and then sending them irreversibly into the abyss where they can never rise again.
Manager Seo, the future power of Seo Corporation, needs him right now.
“As long as you designate the target, Manager.”
Manager Seo, satisfied with Director Byun’s succinct reply, spoke with a very content smile.
“Then, can we start right away?”

“Ah, the weather’s quite nice.”
Perhaps due to a brief doze in the car, my physical state has improved a bit.
Certainly, it would be great if I could have a good night’s sleep, but now is not the time for that.
Grandfather’s special orders.
The journey to carry them out leads to Daejeon.
“Did you sleep well?”
Han Dong-soo, gripping the steering wheel, said without turning around.
Well, of course, he shouldn’t turn around.
If you look back on the highway, you’re as good as dead.
“I had a good nap because the car is nice.”
Park Geun-woo, sitting in the passenger seat, said, turning around.
“There are many cars better than this one, aren’t there?”
That’s what my memory says.
I haven’t driven them myself, so I’m not sure.
But just because there’s a good car doesn’t mean I have to sit in the back like this, right?
Anyway, I’m the one driving.
So, can there be a way to know the feel of the back seat of a good car?
Oh? While I’m at it, I should ask Geun-woo since our eyes met.
“Hey, where did you go with Hyo-joo?”
Geun-woo responds with a sly smile.
“The weather is really nice.”
“So, what did you do?”
“The weather is really nice.”
Ah, this guy turned into a macro.
“Oh. Stop talking like that and untangle the story.”
“What’s the story… Well, hm. It’s what you’re expecting.”
A calm voice leaving an impression. Eyes filled with a flashback that needs no explanation.
Certainly encountered a storm?
Stormy s*x! Stormy s*x!
Sigh. So jealous.
Hyoju’s explosive mid comes to mind.
But soon, Kyunwoo launches a counterattack.
“But why are you asking? Chief Seo also left, didn’t he?”
“No? I just went home.”
Kyunwoo’s expression strangely changed.
“What—?”
I widened my eyes.
“The next thing you’re going to say isn’t ‘well,’ is it? If so, then your throat would be cut like ‘well.'”
“I was trying to say that you, as someone with a high level of education, managed to control your instincts well. You did well in guessing the rhyme. But why such an unfortunate outcome?”
“Sigh. There’s a story behind it.”
“What is it?”
What was it that was shouted at the end in the dialogue box? Will the next step be taken?
But this is a job I can’t talk about.
“Don’t ask. It’s a headache. But seriously, what are Ji-eun and Hyo-joo going to do with you two? It’s shamelessly obvious.”
Geun-woo replied confidently, shrugging his shoulders.
“Where can you find a woman who doesn’t like a healthy man? It’s all like that.”
“All like that? In that case, maybe I should start exercising too.”
As I touched my soft arms and spoke, Geun-woo showed a sly smile.
“Should I find a gym for you?”
“Oh? That sounds good. Preferably one close to home with good facilities.”
He knows where I live, so he should find a good one, right?
Although there is a pretty large gym inside the officetel where I live, I couldn’t use it right away because it was under repair.
I don’t know when the construction will be finished, and it’s always interesting to go out and explore, as interesting things tend to happen when a man goes outside.
“I’ll list up trainers with skills and send it to you through KakaoTalk.”
“Okay. But since I don’t know much, leave it in the order of recommendations… Oh?”
As soon as I sent the message, Sae-rin came to mind.
We agreed to contact each other after the meeting was over.
I didn’t think about contacting her after meeting the grandfather, moving, and taking a nap.
I quickly opened my phone.
[Woo-jin]: How about this Saturday?
Huh?
As soon as I sent it, the ‘1’ disappeared instantly.
What’s this? Is it the goddess of agility?
And immediately, a response comes flying in.
[Serin]: Yep! But what are you up to?
[Ujin]: Had to go on a sudden business trip. On the way to Daejeon.
[Serin]: Oh? Seems like a working person!
Well, I am a working person, in a way.
Even though I’m from a conglomerate.
But as I exchanged messages, the time we spent together yesterday flashed in my mind.
Phew…
The squat posture.
Zero Two’s cocaine dance was impressive, but doing squats openly while telling me to feel the butt.
There was a different kind of stimulation.
Wait for me, Han Serin!!
I will definitely face the storm with you!!
After that, exchanging trivial texts with Serin, we had unknowingly arrived at our destination.
Han Dongsoo, who got off from the driver’s seat, glanced around.
“Yeonkwang University, it’s my first time here.”
“Me too. Hey, you.”
I stretched lazily.
Yeonkwang University in Daejeon.
Grandfather and chairman, he had come to meet people.
More precisely, a professor.
But,
Isn’t the weather too good to work?
Moreover, it’s on campus.
Bright, lovely, and energetic students started to catch my eye.
Ha.
Indeed, this guy’s playing it smart.
Are these faces for real?
As I was momentarily observing the campus girls, surprisingly, from over there, they started discreetly glancing at us.
Ah.
Must be because of these guys.
“Hey. You guys make me uncomfortable. Watch over me from where you usually can’t be seen.”
Standing like bodyguards on both sides was quite mismatched with the campus visuals.
So, when I told them to back off a bit, Dongsoo and Geunwoo made puppy eyes and said a word each.
“hehehe. Already giving up?”
“You said let’s be together for a lifetime like in the fairy tales. hehehe.”
Ugh. Getting close brings out the nonsense.
But right now, what’s more urgent than these guys is meeting the professor.
To meet that professor, where should I go?
I didn’t receive any contact information, and there was no prior arrangement.
However, at that moment,
From Noble mtl dot com
“Director Seo Woojin?”
A languid voice, gently tickling my ears, reached me.
