태경 stood in front of the door to the largest room in 미인정.
He had previously asked the owner of 미인정 to let him in.
Shortly after, the owner, who was carrying food out, nodded briefly at 태경, indicating that he could enter now as he had informed Minister 신 in advance.
태경, with his tie tightly knotted, peeked through the sliding doors opened by the owner.
Unlike the small room he had been in with 우연, which had a table and chairs, this room had a long table and several cushions.
It was a room that seemed to replicate the tranquil setting of an old noble’s house, with a folding screen decorated with landscape paintings and antique ornaments.
Inside, Minister 신, along with Representatives 유 and 안, whom he had seen last time, occupied the seats on either side. Both were slightly resentful of 태경, who had rudely left their last meeting early.
태경 was well aware of this and, unlike last time, bowed deeply to apologize first.
“Good evening, Minister 신남호, Chairman of Brighton Aviation, 차태경. And to the representatives, it’s been a while. I was impulsive last time. I had to leave early due to sensitive company matters. I apologize.”
The oldest among them, Minister 신, who had a gentle face, placated the slightly offended representatives.
“Let’s forgive and forget. 차태경 has come to apologize personally.”
“…….”
“Come sit here. Let’s have a drink before you go.”
Minister 신 gestured 태경 to sit next to him, nudging Representative 안 to the side.
Although 안 showed displeasure, nobody paid it any heed.
Minister 신 continued in a friendly tone.
“I’ve heard a lot about you. They say you’re shaking up the decaying 명산 with your youthful energy. They have high expectations for you.”
“You flatter me.”
“Nonsense. But, did you bring someone to the room next door?”
태경 calmly responded.
“It’s a personal meeting, so I’d rather not say.”
“A woman?”
Half-hiding his lips as if teasing, 신남호 laughed understandingly.
미인정 was mostly used for secret meetings of conglomerate families or political figures, but it was also often used by young heirs for dates.
Its main attraction was the privacy it offered, allowing one to dine comfortably without public scrutiny.
“Minister, allow me to pour you a drink.”
태경 knelt to courteously serve the minister.
His humble posture softened the hearts of the two representatives.
신남호 laughed heartily, accepting the drink from 태경.
“Should’ve been like this from the start. 허허. Unnecessarily showing off pride at our first meeting. Do you know how much Representatives 유 and 안 complained about you?”
“…..Yes.”
“Much more impressive in person than on TV. If you become the head of 명산, the other chairmen will be quite upset. Now, pour me a drink too.”
Drinks were poured and the atmosphere warmed up.
태경 kept pace with them while scanning the surroundings. It took exactly 37 seconds to decide where to place the camera and act.
He deliberately placed the bottle to the left of 신남호, in a position that could easily be knocked over.
신남호, in a good mood, kept raising his glass for toasts.
태경 also responded naturally, raising his glass high.
Cheers.
As the clinking of multiple glasses resonated, 태경 quietly called out to Minister 신남호 while he was drinking.
“Minister.”
As 신남호 paused his drink and turned towards 태경 on his left, a bottle fell from the table, spilling liquor everywhere.
“Oops!”
In the brief moment when everyone’s attention was diverted, 태경 swiftly placed the hidden camera in front of an ornament on the table and subtly concealed it with a cat figurine.
He then smoothly called over the owner in the midst of the chaos. The owner came in belatedly and neatly cleaned up the spilled contents.
신남호 looked intently at 태경, who had been acting lightly until now. His tone deepened significantly.
“But you.”
“Yes?”
“Why did you call me just now?”
“…..”
“You called me, didn’t you?”
태경 smiled broadly, secretly laughing to himself thinking how 우연 would have fainted if she saw this.
“I’ll properly treat you another time. I’ll contact you through my secretary.”
Pondering deeply, 신남호 blinked his deeply set eyes and then nodded.
“Alright. But don’t leave your girlfriend alone too long. You may leave now.”
“Yes.”
“By the way, 명산 has already made a move.”
“…..”
“It’s about your uncle. You should hurry too.”
His tone, threatening yet snake-like, was a stark contrast to the gentle face he had when he first entered the room.
태경 smirked.
“Is that so? But I always like to check thoroughly before making a move.”
“Check what?”
“The true intentions. I’m not fond of things too black.”
태경 left the room.
Unaware that his voice and image were being recorded, 신남호 cursed as soon as 태경 was out of sight.
“That arrogant kid.”
Despite 태경’s continuous modesty, 신남호 had a certain intuition about him.
The youngest of the three, 안 의원, narrowed his eyes at 신남호.
