Chapter 512:


    The first thing that caught his eye was the change in the garden. Behind the widewn, he saw some metal structures with peculiar shapes.


    Lions, shields, pirs, crowns, etc.


    They were symbols of the Spanish royal family, and they were adorned with LED lights that shone like jewels.


    Thanks to them, the space that had a European mansion garden vibe felt more exotic.


    It was a reflection of Hong Jin-hee’s style, who liked to use lighting as a point of attraction.


    On the widewn, people were busy setting up the venue, which also suited Hong Jin-hee’s preference for outdoor events.


    ‘Jun-il Shimjang seems to have paid a lot of attention.’


    Yoo-hyun was thinking about various things as he stood in front of the annex building.


    Ding-ding-ding~???He turned his head at the sound of a violin and saw an orchestra practicing in the corner of the building.


    They were dressed in formal attire, which meant that today was the day they would be inspected by Hong Jin-hee.


    He couldn’t remember the face, but he vividly recalled the arrogant words that the conductor had uttered.


    -Why do we practice outdoors? It’s only natural to tune the sound in an environment simr to where the event will take ce.


    The conductor was proud of his orchestra, even though it must have hurt his pride to serve the Royal Family.


    Thanks to that, they had a long rtionship with Hansung Group.


    But one day, his orchestra was reced by another team, and the members scattered.


    ‘What happened?’


    Yoo-hyun was trying to recall his vague memory as he stepped on the stairs leading to the entrance of the annex.


    The golden light shining from the entrance gave him the feeling of entering another world.


    As he entered the building, he was captivated by the sight of the luxurious lobby.


    The pale gold marble floor, the chandelier that glowed with a traditional charm with hanji paper, the Korean paintings on the walls, the various sculptures on the pirs and the splendid dragon pattern on the ceiling.


    This space, where Korean and modern beauty coexisted, was more splendid than Yoo-hyun’s memory.


    ‘They must have changed the interior too.’


    This meant that they had started working on it as soon as Yoo-hyun got lucky.


    Yoo-hyun admired Jun-il Shimjang’s decisiveness and looked to the right.


    At the beginning of the corridor connected to the lobby, there were stands on both sides, and on top of them, there were radios and ck-and-white TVs that made Hansung Electronics what it is today.


    These stands were lined up along the corridor with neatly dressed employees at regr intervals, giving the impression of a Hansung Museum located in the Innovation Center.


    It was a natural way to introduce the entire Hansung Group products to the Spanish royal family.


    This party was also an extension of business, so it was a fairly appropriate measure.


    Yoo-hyun was imagining the party situation while taking in the right scenery.


    Stop.


    Kim Jin-sol Gwajang, who turned around, frowned and snapped his fingers.


    “Follow me quickly.”


    “…”


    Where are they going?


    He told him not to ask, so Yoo-hyun just followed him.


    He walked inside, looking around the room, and turned his head forward.


    ck.


    A woman walked out in front of Kim Jin-sol Gwajang with the sound of her heels.


    The woman’s eyes, which turned to the lobby, felt very cold.


    Hong Jin-hee.


    The name that he couldn’t forget popped up in Yoo-hyun’s head.


    Her pointed nose, thin eyebrows shaped like crescent moons, eyes without double eyelids, and short hair with a lot of volume were exactly the same as the woman he remembered.


    Yoo-hyun stopped and averted his eyes, following the manual embedded in his body.


    Unfortunately, Kim Jin-sol Gwajang didn’t.


    He made a fatal mistake of making eye contact with Hong Jin-hee as he walked withrge strides.


    He even greeted her nervously.


    “Ah, hello, ma’am. I’m Kim Jin-sol Gwajang.”


    “…”


    He shouldn’t have stuttered, and he should have clearly stated his rank and name when he introduced himself.


    More importantly, he spoke too loudly, which didn’t suit the atmosphere.


    Was it because of that?


    Hong Jin-hee’s chin lifted and her eyes narrowed.


    In the midst of the ominous atmosphere, Yoo-hyun noticed her right hand.


    As expected, her thumb and index finger were fiddling with the diamond ring on her left ring finger.


    It was a precursor to her mood turning sour.


    Swoosh.


    The ring hadn’t even spun once.


    Three men who jumped out of the room with quick steps bowed 90 degrees in front of Hong Jin-hee, as if they had made an appointment.


    Snap.


    Kim Jin-sol Gwajang, who came to his senseste, followed the manual, but it was toote.


    Hong Jin-hee’s hand left the ring, but her expression was still cold.


    Before any further reaction came out, the secretary next to her bowed his head.


    “Ma’am, I’m sorry for making you ufortable.”


    “It’s not ufortable. It’s not that.”


    The words that came out were restrained because there were many external eyes, but they shouldn’t be taken literally.


    Her gaze was still fixed on Kim Jin-sol Gwajang.


    The secretary responded firmly to this.


    “I’ll take care of it right away.”


    “Don’t do that. It’s just a little mistake.”


    Only then did Hong Jin-hee’s chin lower and her eyes scatter.


    If it weren’t for the proper response of the employees, including the secretary?


    Kim Jin-sol Gwajang, as well as the entire human resources department, would have faced a storm of blood.


    She looked graceful on the outside, but Hong Jin-hee was a person who could do that and more.


    Yoo-hyun lowered his eyes and recalled her evil deeds from the past.


    Hong Jin-hee took a short breath and nodded to the secretary.


    “Park Chajang, your back must hurt. Give them some money.”


    “Yes, ma’am.”


    The secretary, who seemed used to this, took out a white envelope from his chest and handed it to the four people who were still bowing.


    It was forbidden to express gratitude here.


    Bugs should act like bugs, and keep their eyes on the ground until the owner disappears.


    Fortunately, Kim Jin-sol Gwajang followed this manual, but it was impossible to put the spilled water back in.


    ck ck.


    It was after Hong Jin-hee’s figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.


    The secretary who had received instructions from her came back and stood in front of the four people who were holding their heads.


    Kim Jin-sol Gwajang trembled as he saw the man’s shoes.


    “I’m, I’m sorry.”


    But the man’s answer was only cold.


    “Get up and take him out.”


    “Yes, Chajang-nim.”


    Before the men dragged him away, Kim Jin-sol Gwajang turned around first.


    “I’ll go by myself.”


    He walked with his head bowed, looking very pitiful.


    It seemed like he had a hunch that this was hisst time in the Group Strategy Room.


    Unfortunately, Yoo-hyun couldn’t help him with this.


    This was the best he could do, and Yoo-hyun knew it better than anyone.


    He lifted his head and saw the face of a man with broad shoulders, bronze skin, and sharp eyes.


    The name Bak Do-gwon shed in Yoo-hyun’s mind.


    He was a man who worked in the next department when Yoo-hyun moved to the human resources department, and he had a good reputation.


    He could tell his status by the fact that he was next to Hong Jin-hee.


    Bak Do-gwon Chajang approached Yoo-hyun and asked him.


    He sounded like he recognized Yoo-hyun.


    “What are you going to do?”


    “I’m going to look around the party preparation site.”


    “Without a guide?”


    “I’ll be discreet.”


    It was absolutely uneptable to let him wander around alone in this situation.


    “Then you’ll be in trouble.”


    Instead of scolding him, Bak Do-gwon Chajang tried to dissuade him, but Yoo-hyun didn’t budge.


    “It’s what the Bonbujang-nim told me to do.”


    “To help with the party nning? That’s something you can’t do at this point. You just need to attend the party.”


    ‘As expected. He was under Jun-il Shimjang.’


    He urately guessed what he had expected and Yoo-hyun voiced his opposing opinion again.


    “If I go like this, I won’t have anything to report to the Damdang-nim. I need to know at least the party preparation course to go back.”


    “…”


    Did he know that Jun-il Shimjang was interested in Yoo-hyun?


    He didn’t step in, even though he could have dragged him out by force.


    Thanks to that, it had been three minutes since he left Hong Jin-hee.


    Her secretary had to show his face again within five minutes, no matter what.


    Bak Do-gwon Chajang took a short breath and took out a dry paper from his pocket.


    “This is a document containing the details of the party schedule. It’s confidential, so check it and give it back to me.”


    Swoosh.


    He handed the paper and the key to Yoo-hyun and asked him.


    “The ce is the event W room at the end of the second floor. Don’t step out of there. I’lle get you in an hour.”


    “Understood.”


    Yoo-hyun bowed his head and climbed the stairs that he pointed to.


    This meant that Hong Jin-hee wouldn’te up to the second floor in an hour.


    Yoo-hyun wasn’t interested in the party preparation anyway.


    It was enough to check the details of the schedule.


    Click.


    He entered the ce that Bak Do-gwon Chajang had mentioned, turned on the light, and sat on a chair inside.


    He put five papers on therge round table and skimmed through them one by one.


    They had many creases and pen marks, but they were easy to understand.


    Three of the five papers were timetables for the party schedule.


    Next to the detailed contents, there were notes on various precautions and the roles and movements of the key figures.


    Yoo-hyun’s role was also there.


    In the middle of the party, when the garden party was held, he had to assist Maria Carlos for about 10 minutes.


    ‘He wants me to be a face-madam.’


    Of course, it was more for the sake of pleasing Maria Carlos than Yoo-hyun’s position, but it was not a bad opportunity.


    With this, he could stamp his presence on the Royal Family, especially Hong Jin-hee.


    Rustle. Rustle.


    Yoo-hyun focused on the contents of thest paper, the sisterhood ceremony.


    He was more interested in the list of attendees than the photo time in front of the influential media reporters.


    “Hong Jin-hee, Shin Mi-kyung, Shin Kyung-joon…”


    Among the Royal Family’s attendees, Shin Hyun-ho Chairman was missing, and his younger brother, Shin Myung-ho former Vice Chairman, was also absent.


    The Spanish king was absent, and the overall age of the royal family members who attended was young, so it felt like they bnced it out.


    There was nothing strange about it, but it was strange that there was one less person than the other side’s royal family.


    Hong Jin-hee’s personality wouldn’t have let that happen.


    Yoo-hyun knew what the one gap meant.


    Shin Kyung-soo wasing.


    He wasn’ting just to meet the royal family.


    He would show off his presence ording to Hong Jin-hee’s will, and at the same time, he would handle other things in parallel.


    That would surely include a meeting with Yoo-hyun.


    Shin Kyung-soo would definitely check whether he was his person or not.


    ‘The time is after the garden party, the ce is the event E room on the second floor.’


    Using the changed location of Jun-il Shimjang in the detailed schedule, Yoo-hyun predicted the time and ce of the meeting.


    There were less than 40 minutes left until Bak Do-gwon Chajang came.


    Now was not the time to be idle, but to move.


    He got up from his seat and went out to the corridor.


    The event W room and E room were located at the opposite ends of the long building.


    He had to stay out of sight as much as possible, not only because of Bak Do-gwon Chajang’s instructions, but also to avoid any possible trouble.


    Yoo-hyun walked as quietly as possible, hiding his presence.


    The second floor was already cleaned up, and there were hardly any employees.


    Thanks to that, he was able to reach his destination in a short time.


    Click.


    He opened the door, but unfortunately it was locked.
