Chapter 417
Kim Eun-ah was guided by Lee Su-hyeon and entered the inside of the mansion instead of the banquet hall where the party was taking place.
Inside the mansion, not just influencers invited to the banquet, but Shinsung Group officials were gathered.
Kim Eun-ah stood proudly as the main character at a gathering of numerous powerful people in the business world, from affiliates belonging to Shinsung Group to the presidents of partner companies.
“The lady is entering.”
Of course, Kim Eun-ah, the person in charge, did not like this kind of welcome, but she had no choice.
“… Hey, what kind of show do you feel pressured to do? I said I wanted to go in quietly.”
“This is the President’s order.”
The financial world has its own rules. Even if it was cumbersome, formality appropriate to the position was necessary.
“okay? …then there’s nothing you can do about it.”
When Lee Soo-hyun, who lowered her head slightly, finished the guide, Kim Eun-ah smiled in the direction of applause. At the long round table, many people from the financial world gathered, regardless of age or gender.
“I don’t know if you remember. Miss Eun-ah. It is an honor to greet you again.”
The blond young man made a gesture of lowering his stance, as if paying respect to an aristocrat. Kim Eun-ah asked Lee Soo-hyun in a small voice.
“Who was it?”
“He is the next Master of the Heuksan Guild.”
“You are so amazing. How do you memorize all of this?”
“Because it’s my job.”
If it was the guild leader of Heuksan, the 5th largest guild, it would be difficult for ordinary students to mix words with high-ranking officials, but Kim Eun-ah answered with hand gestures without inspiration.
“It is understandable that you forgot. I heard that Lady Eun-ah is very busy as she not only educates succession but also works as a hunter.”
“It’s nothing like that. I wish you well too. Just in time, Shino and Yusoo’s business has been cut off forever.”
The new master of Heuksan couldn’t hide his joy at the fact that the Shinoh family and Yusu guild, which were eye thorns, were excluded from the Shinsung Group’s cooperation guild.
“Ah… Shin-oh and Yoo-su. okay. We, Heuksan, will work hard so that the vacancy of the two will never be felt!”
At the academy, she was only the class president of Class A, but Kim Eun-ah’s position here was a bit different. It was to the point where the top-level guild master would personally swear allegiance if given the chance.
“yes. I will leave it up to you.”
But nothing new. Kim Eun-ah was used to people trying to look good for herself.
Shin Yoo-sung and his colleagues were the only ones who could really hang out with Kim Eun-ah like friends. The only people Kim Eun-ah really opened up to were those few friends who were foolish but foolish.
“Oh and miss. After 30 minutes, the vice president and the director…”
“Just say ‘mom and dad’ when we’re with each other, so we’re talking about meeting after a while, right?”
“yes.”
Kim Eun-ah, who replied that she knew, found a face she had seen worn out in Gaon. There, Park Soo-hyun, the vice president, was wearing a suit and was watching.
“Are you thinking about whether or not to say something?”
“This is not Gaon Academy. Are you too observant to openly talk to me first?”
Park Soo-hyun’s words were not an exaggeration. Kim Eun-ah pretends to know Park Soo-hyun and talks to him first. I could feel the subtle gazes around me.
If Kim Eun-ah pretended to know, Park Soo-hyun seemed to have deliberately judged that among them, Park Soo-hyun was quite ‘high-ranking’.
“I am a victim too. Originally, my parents or my older brother, the eldest son, would have appeared. I heard the news about you and I came out in your place.”
“…that’s fun. Get some advantage as a class A. is this?”
“That’s it. If I’m a noble from the outskirts, you’re a member of the royal family who has been officially succeeded. Of course it should look good, right?”
If you knew that the purpose of this banquet hall was all about ‘celebration’ or ‘party’, that would be sewage. This was a kind of battlefield where they recognized each other’s status and expanded their personal connections.
Of course, there were a few people who didn’t care about that. However, in the business world where networking is important, lack of sociability meant giving up quite a bit.
“okay?”
In that respect, the strategy Park Soo-hyun’s parents took was commendable. Without Park Soo-hyun, it would be a mid-sized company at best, but the story would be different if Kim Eun-ah and Kim were open to each other.
“I like it because the intention is so transparent and explicit.”
“Are you cursing? Is that a compliment?”
“Interpret it however you like. It’s a story that you’re better off than those who smile on the outside but are dark on the inside.”
When Kim Eun-ah moved the tip of her chin slightly, secretary Lee Soo-hyun took out a business card and handed it to Park Soo-hyun.
On the spare black business card, only three letters of Kim Eun-ah and the name of Shinsung Group were written simply, but the ripple effect was extraordinary.
In Shinsung Group, only the black business card was used by Chairman Kim Seok-han. However, the fact that Kim Eun-ah inherited that color indirectly means that she is the next president’s lumber. Even though it was a reserve, a business card of such a network was worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.
“If you have a request, please contact me here. I can take care of it.”
Park Soo-hyun accepted the business card with both hands at the gift of Kim Eun-ah, who couldn’t believe it.
“I really? I didn’t expect it… Such a harvest…”
Park Soo-hyun, who is usually famous for his poker face, was clearly surprised this time.
“Because we were in the same class. and you said It’s better to be transparent and outspoken than a fox who pretended to be a bear.”
Park Soo-hyun put Kim Eun-ah’s business card in her pocket with a mana coating on it like a treasure. Then, as if he was satisfied with his goal, he immediately agreed with Kim Eun-ah’s words.
“okay? As you said, Shin Yoo-seong must have liked it the most in that respect. Isn’t he really transparent inside? Just by looking at his expression, I can tell what he’s thinking.”
However, the words Park Soo-hyun brought out in order to chime in were rather met with a backlash. Kim Eun-ah frowned and whispered in a small voice as a warning.
“…Don’t talk like you know Yooseong in front of me.”
Kim Eun-ah was a tough class president in Class A, but Park Soo-hyun even felt chills when she showed her temper here.
“Bar Manager! I had no intention of going against planting! No, I mean it from the bottom of my heart! Shin Yoo-seong didn’t look like a guy who would take advantage of others!”
When Park Soo-hyun, who was embarrassed, urgently took care of herself to keep her spirits up, Eun-ah Kim turned her head with excitement.
“It’s not like that. Yooseong isn’t that kind of kid…”
“Then you’ll be busy, so go first. Class monitor. If you have something to say, send me a message to Gaon ID. I will go by my side.”
Park Soo-hyun hurriedly ran away in case she scratched Kim Eun-ah’s temper and sparked. There was no need to procrastinate in the yard of achieving the purpose of ‘the next president’s business card and promise’.
“miss. Your mouth will be dry from talking, but your throat will also be quenched. How about a glass of Sangria? Non-alcoholic, of course.”
Quick-witted Lee Soo-hyun handed Kim Eun-ah a glass of wine to lighten up the atmosphere.
“uh?”
However, Kim Eun-ah did not accept the cup. It wasn’t that I didn’t like Sangria, it was for a completely different reason.
“That’s…”
Kim Eun-ah carefully touched her lips with her white finger, and her face soon turned red as if she had remembered something. He even shook his head.
“Oh no. It’s okay… I don’t want to drink now.”
It seemed that if Kim Eun-ah wet her mouth with a drink for no reason, the sensations and memories she had felt earlier would be overwritten.
“Are you okay, lady? Your face is very red…”
When secretary Lee Soo-hyun looked at her with a worried look at her blushing face, Kim Eun-ah quickly shook her head.
“Really fine! It’s just a little hot!”
“yes? is that so? I don’t think it’s a hot temperature…”
Lee Soo-hyun couldn’t understand Kim Eun-ah, who suddenly blushed. However, if you had just seen Kim Eun-ah’s tryst with Shin Yoo-sung at the banquet hall, you would have understood it right away.
“Enough! Let’s go to Mom and Dad quickly. They called me!”
In the end, only the pathetic Lee Soo-hyun heard the innocent voice. After that, the conversation with her family was not that important to Kim Eun-ah.
“Good to see you back. Eunah.”
Father’s hospitality, saying that he is trustworthy and willingly smiles today.
“Yes, this is the place for you. You’ve been a genius in this way since you were a kid, weren’t you?”
In the faith of her mother, Kim Eun-ah became the true successor. Those who participated in this banquet will gladly announce who the successor of Shinsung Group has become.
If it was another group, there would have been a fight between relatives aiming for the throne, but fortunately, it did not happen with Shinsung Group.
“Aya. Have you changed your mind?”
From the beginning, Kim Jun-hyeok was not greedy for the position of successor. Because I had more dreams of becoming a Hunter than getting an education for the position of successor.
Rather, it was the dream of a senior hunter that Kim Jun-hyeok wanted to achieve while relying on magic stones. So I was willing to give in with a smile.
Because it wasn’t his place from the beginning.
“huh.”
“You will make a good manager. Because no one in Shinsung Group doubts that quality. It’s just…”
Rather, Kim Jun-hyeok looked really worried and asked Kim Eun-ah as an older brother.
“Are you really going to be okay? Is it Eun?”
Kim Jun-hyeok’s short question contained so many meanings that Kim Eun-ah could not easily answer it.
“It’s a story that you won’t really regret. because i’m your brother You know better than anyone what kind of child you are.”
In the end, when Kim Joon-hyeok smiled and talked to him as an older brother rather than a member of Shinsung Group, Kim Eun-ah laughed.
“yes I’m fine. I’ll be thinking about it for a while… I’ll be worried… But there’s Sumire and Adela by Yuseong’s side. Trust me you’ll do well! I think you don’t have to worry.”
“really?”
“huh. Really… and you don’t even have time to think about it? For now, I want to focus on my work.”
Despite Kim Eun-ah’s clear answer, Kim Jun-hyeok made a complicated expression as if he knew or didn’t know. I knew him well, so I couldn’t help it. Being able to read minds even with such small signals was sad this time.
“…Yes, I believe.”
Kim Jun-hyeok did not say anything as he watched Eun-ah Kim leave the banquet hall. It would be a difficult choice, but if it was Kim Eun-ah’s decision, it was her brother’s role to support her.
‘In that short time… You’ve grown so much. Eunah.’
How could that little kid grow up like this while he didn’t see it? Kim Jun-hyeok felt the empty void that he was not confident in today.
