Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"Tch, a bet where you can't see the process is really no fun at all..."

Choi Yoon-jung muttered a complaint, then suddenly remembered something, her eyes darting around as she said, "Master, why don't you two work at SK Securities? That way it'll be convenient for me to learn from you..."

"Studying nearby?" Li Shuo glanced at her.

"Hehe, and by the way, let those old hands in the company see how formidable my master is!"

Choi Yoon-jung said in a seemingly candid manner, "Oh dear, Master, you don't know, the management positions at SK Securities are alright, but the practical positions are the most troublesome. When I, the actual controller of the company, ask them questions, I often don't even get the most comprehensive answers. Now, Master, come here and help me to suppress their arrogance!"

Even if those who invest are all shrewd business elites, could they really be arrogant in front of SK's little princess? Li Shuo didn't believe it. He thought that at most, those people didn't worship Choi Yoon-jung to the point of prostration.

In South Korea's social context, not kneeling down and worshipping chaebols is considered the greatest form of "arrogance."

Regardless of their relationship, Lee Seok didn't expose Choi Yoon-jung. He casually asked, "When is Gu Yong-shin coming?"

"Oh right, Master is here, but where's Director Ju? Why don't you call and urge him on..."

Choi Yoon-jung immediately turned her head and gave instructions to the people at SK Securities.

Seeing this, the people behind hurriedly obeyed and left. Choi Yoon-jung thought for a moment and suggested to Lee Seok, "Master, I know you've been busy with the construction of Seok-Kwok Financial lately. Our SK Securities is the largest securities company in South Korea. Since you're here, why don't you take a look?"

Because she was facing Li Shuo, Cui Yunzhen used very humble words. In reality, any company that can develop has something, such as "technology," "management," or "corporate culture." Cui Yunzhen's so-called visit probably meant laying the company bare in front of Li Shuo.

Li Shuo naturally understood this, so he readily agreed and then took Cui Yunzhen's small hand:
“Okay… After all, you control SK Securities, so if I can spot any problems, it’s convenient for me to discuss them with you…”

Choi Yoon-jung pouted: "Ah, is it just about company issues?"

Li Shuo glanced at her, smiled and said, "We haven't seen each other in a long time, so we can take a walk alone..."

Even without Li Shuo's explanation, the observant subordinates, seeing the two chairmen so inseparable, naturally wouldn't follow closely. After the two left the conference room, everyone, including Han Enqing, kept a considerable distance behind. However, some SK Securities employees on their way forward, who didn't recognize Li Shuo, were immediately astonished to see the SK princess walking hand in hand with a strange man.

After the two walked over, a commotion broke out in the work area:
"Did you all see that? The little princess is holding a man's hand!"

"That's the little princess's boyfriend. What's the big deal? It's like you've never been in a relationship before."

"Can the daughters of the SK conglomerate be treated like ordinary people? It's one thing to date secretly, but now it's out in the open!"

"Huh?! That makes some sense. So, who is this man?"

Li Shuo's identity was no secret, and the executives at SK Securities knew it when they greeted him, so they quickly got the answer!

At the same time, the name Li Shuo was linked to the hottest rumors circulating on the internet. So, in just half an hour, the news of Li Shuo's relationship with the SK princess spread throughout SK Securities and was even posted on the internet!

However, unlike celebrity scandals, the relevant news was deleted and taken down by the platform within minutes of entering the internet. More than ten minutes later, SK Securities executives urgently issued a gag order, prohibiting employees from discussing topics related to Choi Yoon-jung!
"What's wrong here? It's so quiet!"

It was under these circumstances that Koo Young-shin arrived at SK Securities with his entourage. As a senior executive of the SK Group, he was essentially visiting a sister company, so he only brought his assistant and legal counsel, both men in their thirties. The assistant quickly went to the work area to inquire about the situation.

When Koo Young-shin arrived at the conference room with his men, his assistant ran over and whispered what he had seen and heard in his ear.

"Hmm, this must be the public relations department's doing, suppressing the news that the young lady is dating?"

When Koo Young-shin first met Lee Seok, he saw him being all lovey-dovey with Choi Yoon-jung. He already knew about their relationship, so he wasn't surprised. Instead, he turned to talk to the legal advisor who had come with him. Although the latter worked at SK Hynix, he had previously worked at headquarters and was specifically responsible to the chairman of SK.

"It should be, but is it possible that Li Shuo and the young lady are in a romantic relationship?" The legal counsel frowned.

"You don't know? Then the chairman doesn't know either? This is a big deal."

Koo Young-shin said with a look of surprise that, in fact, he had specially invited the legal advisor with Chairman Choi’s background to come here this time, precisely to deal with Choi Yoon-jung!

As a high-ranking executive in the SK Group, Koo Young-shin was neither foolish nor blindly loyal. Knowing that Choi Yoon-jung was Lee Seok's mistress, how could he possibly accept her as the referee obediently? Moreover, the stakes he had placed with Lee Seok had kept rising, and now they involved 5% of SK Hynix shares, worth tens of billions of won. Something that concerned his entire fortune meant that any underhanded tactics were justified! "Let me ask first..."

As he spoke, the legal counsel glanced at him, realizing Koo Young-shin's intentions. The latter nodded repeatedly, leaned closer, and whispered, "At the next board meeting, I plan to recommend a legal director. Attorney Han, you would be quite suitable..."

"Um, I see... I'll call the president myself and find out what he thinks."

Just as the legal consultant stood up to call Chairman Choi, Choi Yoon-jung, having heard the news, returned with Lee Seok. The former's face was slightly flushed; this young lady hadn't received her beloved master's attention for many days, and with such a good opportunity, she naturally took him to her office for a passionate encounter. Of course, because it was too short, there was no actual sex.

"Secretary Han..."

After Li Shuo entered, he snapped his fingers. Han Enqing immediately stepped forward, took out a contract, and handed it to him. Li Shuo then pushed it in front of Gu Yongxin, who squinted and chuckled, "Chairman Li, don't rush to give me the money. Let my legal counsel take a look. As long as there are no problems with the contract, I'll sign it immediately!"

"Whether you sign or not is up to you. This bet is just a game to me."

Lee Seok appeared nonchalant, then turned to Han Yingxiong and began discussing business: "President Han, SK Securities truly lives up to its reputation as South Korea's largest securities firm. They even have a data center here. You've put a lot of effort into this..."

"Hehe, it's all thanks to the head office's consideration, and also because of our little princess's reputation..."

“Data centers are actually quite useful for betting like this. They make it easier for us to observe market trends and dynamics… I wonder if I could send someone over to rent a trading room here for intelligence gathering and transmission?”

"Oh? Of course, this can definitely be turned into a collaborative project between companies..."

As he spoke, Han Yingxiong turned to Cui Yunzhen and said with great interest, "Chairman Li's idea is excellent. If we can turn the data center into a VIP customer transaction center, it is expected to generate a large amount of additional profit."

The fundamental purpose of a commercial company is to make money, and extra profits are naturally a significant achievement.

Choi Yoon-jung was also very happy about this, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at Lee Seok... The tickling she had just experienced had left her wanting more, and now she didn't want to wait a moment longer. She turned to Koo Young-shin and urged, "Director Koo, didn't you come here to sign the agreement? Have you finished reading the agreement? You can sign it now."

The final tone was almost commanding.

"Um, no rush, my legal counsel hasn't looked into it yet..."

Koo Young-shin spoke slowly, which made Choi Yoon-jung raise her eyebrows: "You're signing a contract with me and you're bringing your own legal counsel? Don't you trust me?"

"Of course not, it's just that Director Ju has staked everything on this, and he's afraid of being scammed."

The person who answered Choi Yoon-jung was not Koo Young-shin, but the consultant who had finished the phone call and turned around.

"Hey, Lin Bian, are you Hynix's legal counsel?"

Choi Yoon-jung recognized the person, and as she asked the question, she immediately realized something and her expression changed abruptly: "Who are you calling?"

"Long time no see, little princess... Calling? Oh, nothing, just some things at the company..."

The legal consultant surnamed Lin didn't want to offend the little princess, so he told a lie. But as luck would have it, just as he finished speaking, Cui Yunzhen's phone rang. And when she took it out, she saw that it clearly said: Chairman Cui.

Giving Lin a fierce glare, Choi Yoon-jung answered the phone in front of everyone: "Aigoo, my dear Chairman Choi, what made you think of calling your daughter? Did you miss me? Dad, I'm at SK Securities right now, and I just thought of a great idea. I'll discuss it with you later..."

She instantly switched to the image of a good daughter, even her tone became much sweeter, which made Li Shuo look at her with a strange gaze.

However, Choi Yoon-jung's words had a very good effect. Chairman Choi had never been treated like this by his daughter before. For a moment, the current chairman of SK was also flattered and completely forgot that he made the call because he received a complaint from Attorney Lim and learned that his daughter seemed to have a boyfriend who worked at SK Securities, so he couldn't wait to ask about it.

"...Um, Chairman Cui, I have something to take care of here. I'll come see you when I get home tonight and bring you a surprise gift. That's all, bye..."

After saying that, Choi Yoon-jung slammed down the phone, then glared sharply at Consultant Lin. Lin shrank back, his mind racing with panic, thinking, "I'm doomed! I was so stupid to listen to Koo Young-shin's nonsense! Now SK's future is going to be jealous of me!" (End of Chapter)
