A little later, as Taesang’s figure became somewhat distant, Chairman Cha spoke with a compassionate voice.
“Dajeong-ah, I heard that your parents are in Gusan City… Is that correct?”
“…….”
Dajeong was quietly surprised inside.
Gusan City was where her parents’ burial site was located. She must have mentioned it to Taesang casually at some point, and it was clear that he had heard about it.
“Yes. That’s right.”
“I plan to visit there soon… What do you think, is it okay?”
“Of course. Mom and Dad will be really happy.”
“That’s good. If so, I hope to go and pay my respects. I’ll be back soon.”
“Grandfather…….”
For a moment, her nose tingled involuntarily. She had promised herself every day to show that she was living well. Knowing that she had such a reliable grandfather would have made her parents genuinely happy.
He will come to my dreams with a smiling face.
Thinking about it, tears welled up.
“Oh, if you cry, that rascal Taesang won’t let me off easily.”
Chairman Cha hurriedly approached and put his arm around Dajeong’s shoulder. Despite his comforting words, the teardrops gradually became more pronounced.
Dajeong wiped her face and lifted her head. When she smiled gently, even the wrinkled eyes softened.
“I will also go later to pay my respects to Mr. Taesang’s parents.”
“Sure…….”
Chairman Cha slowly turned his head in the direction where Taesang had disappeared. A hint of sorrow was evident on his face, which had weathered many storms.
Turning back, he spoke with a soothing tone.
“Taesang doesn’t show much inside me, right? He doesn’t even talk about his parents.”
“…….”
“Just wait a little longer. That rascal who won’t show his ugly side even if he dies soon.”
“Yes, Grandfather.”
“If there’s anything bothering you deep down…”
“I know. I just need to tell Grandfather, right?”
“That’s right. Our son-in-law and daughter-in-law are impressive.”
Dajeong smiled brightly, nodding her head vigorously. The first greeting that she thought would be difficult turned out to be much warmer than expected.
Late at night, a subtle smile appeared on Myeongok’s lips as she looked out the window.
In a few days, a joint press conference between the two companies will be held.
The merger of the two companies, receiving unfavorable attention due to the monopoly controversy and concerns about fare increases.
Among many contentious issues, the most prominent was, of course, the fare increase proposal. In this regard, the vice president’s office had stuck to the position that there would be no price increase.
It was to adhere to Air Korea’s principle, “Fare increases are kept to a minimum only when necessary.”
The public’s evaluation of this was divided.
Some believed they would sneakily raise prices. Others expected that a capable young executive would bring something different. These two opposing opinions clashed fiercely.
“If the plan falls apart, it’ll be interesting to watch.”
The acquisition plan that Myeongok pulled out included details related to a fare increase.
Gradually reducing the discount rate and unifying fares with an overall increase of up to 5% within two years after the merger.
Myeongok silently celebrated.
When this information spreads, the press conference venue will turn into Taesang’s hearing, not a Q&A session.
In the midst of this delightful imagination, her phone, placed on the dressing table, rang loudly.
Receiving a call at nearly twelve o’clock; Myeongok glanced around the room with a puzzled expression.
‘Song Assistant.’
As she checked the screen, her pupils subtly twitched.
She didn’t expect to contact Secretary Song again. An unknown sense of anxiety quietly raised its head.
“What’s the matter?”
Myeongok spoke calmly.
「Branch Manager…….」
“I told you not to contact me for a while.”
「I’m, I’m sorry. But I couldn’t bear the anxiety…….」
“For what reason?”
「……In case something goes wrong.」
“Ha….”
Myeongok let out a long sigh.
Why are there only fragile people around me? It was frustrating to think that I had to listen to the young secretary’s whining at this hour.
“I told you, right? I’ve already handed over that information to someone trustworthy. Secretary Song just needs to keep quiet.”
「I, I also thought so…….」
Assistant Song stammered.
「Still, something feels strange. The vibe is weird…?」
“Vibe?”
“Yes. Lately, I keep feeling excluded from work. This is the second time I’ve been excluded from an important project, and the team atmosphere is not the same as before.”
Assistant Song was assigned to the Vice President’s office six months ago. It was a bit early to be involved in core tasks. It wasn’t unreasonable for her to occasionally feel that way.
“You haven’t gained recognition yet in the Vice President’s office. If you wait a bit more…”
“I… I’ve been excluded from the merger-related tasks.”
“What?”
In an instant, Myeongok’s lips stiffened.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
