Chapter 99: What You Shouldn't Have Read (Please Subscribe)

EPOCH new venue—awaiting news.

With Park Jiyeon speaking up, the matter of the new venue's interior design and construction company could be temporarily put aside until we received feedback from Lee Soon-kyu.

After she left, Jiang Xingchen took out her tablet and continued to refine the design for EXID's comeback.

You take someone's money and do their bidding.

This is also something I'm currently working on, and time is relatively tight.

Once the design draft is finalized, he can hand over the remaining tasks to Zhao Enjing.

soon.

His reactions have become faster.

The speed at which my mind enters a focused state has also increased significantly.

Soon, the closed office fell silent, with only the sound of the main unit fan running at high speed echoing in the background.

the other side.

Park Jiyeon, who left, didn't actually go too far.

When she drove to the vicinity of Hapjeong-dong, she found a roadside parking space and parked.

I didn't get off the bus.

I just sat quietly in the car.

The hug we just had.

It was partly impulsive, but mostly it was genuine.

The reason is related to Park Hyo-min's text message and Kang Sung-jin's explanation.

Looking back.

During this period, not only she, but also Park Hyomin and Ham Eunjung received a great deal of help from him.

Despite minimal investment beyond Ham Eun-jung's side, the results were remarkable.

The promise made that night in the simple office.

Jiang Xingchen is fulfilling her promise little by little.

That's why what just happened occurred.

Jealous?

No, it's not (shi).

After calming herself down a bit, she took out her phone and dialed Lee Soon-kyu's number.

"Ji-yeon, why are you calling your unnie instead of being with your advisor Kang today?"

The call was just connected.

A voice full of teasing came from the other end.

That night, at a small gathering at BIackSwan, Lee Soon-kyu, who quickly became acquainted with Kang Sung-chen, took the opportunity of clinking glasses and drinking to tease them about their relationship.

However, with Jiang Xingchen there, the attack was defused in just a few words.

He subtly defended her.

[Maybe it's because I acted impulsively just now?]

Listening to Lee Soon-kyu's teasing, Park Ji-yeon's mind flashed back to the dinner party a few days ago, and a new thought came to mind.

But they quickly realized they were still on a call.

He then coughed lightly.

"Sunny unnie, can't I have some time to myself?"

"Oh ho..."

The astute Lee Soon-kyu immediately understood the implied meaning in those words, and then replied with a smile, "I didn't say that, you interpreted it yourself."

Park Jiyeon did not respond to that sentence.

After affectionately calling her "Unnie" again, she explained the purpose of the call.

Ask her for help.

Hearing this, Lee Soon-kyu figured it was within his capabilities, so he made a request.

"Buy me a drink!"

"Now?"

"Now... I'm fine."

Lee Soon-kyu, who has always enjoyed drinking, was taken aback by Park Ji-yeon's question. He glanced at the still bright sky and said, "Drinking early helps you wake up early, no problem!"

"Is there anything else you'd like to eat, unnie? I'll go buy it for you."

"We don't have many snacks left to go with drinks, but we have everything else."

"Alas..."

Upon hearing this, Park Jiyeon understood and said "See you later" before hanging up the phone.

A few seconds later, the car parked on the side of the road turned on its turn signal and drove towards Seongsudong.

That's right.

Holy Water Cave.

Lee Soon-kyu, who had lived in a dormitory for many years, moved out of the dormitory at the beginning of this year and went to the luxury apartment she bought for 27 billion won.

It's not that the relationship is distant.

He lived in Cheongdam-dong for almost ten years.

I just wanted to go somewhere else.

It's not far from Park Ji-yeon's GalleriaForet apartment; you can actually walk there.

More than an hour later.

She carried the wine and snacks as she entered Lee Soon-kyu's house.

When I opened my arms to give a hug, I only felt my right hand suddenly lighten.

The bag containing the wine was taken away.

Lee Soon-kyu, who had been waiting for a long time, had everything ready and was just waiting for her.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but smile.

I skillfully changed into slippers and walked into the spacious living room.

"Tell me, what trouble has your Star Oppa encountered that requires your help?"

Park Jiyeon was taken aback, thinking that she had only called him "Oppa" twice, including that night's phone call, so how did Lee Soon-kyu know?

But he quickly came to his senses.

He realized that she was making fun of him again.

He immediately agreed.

"Unnie, don't talk nonsense..."

'

"Hmm... okay then."

Lee Soon-kyu looked up, appearing somewhat troubled.

Before we officially started drinking, we asked Park Jiyeon to explain what was going on, so she wouldn't get drunk and cause any problems later.

"Consultant Kang recently rented a new space and plans to renovate it. He doesn't have a suitable design or construction company right now, and he remembered that Sooyoung unnie's family seems to be in this field, so he wanted to ask unnie for help."

"That's it? There shouldn't be any problems."

After hearing this, Lee Soon-kyu replied and then took out his phone to call Choi Soo-young. After briefly explaining the situation, he received an affirmative answer—no problem.

She only let out a mournful sound when she heard that the two of them had gotten together to drink.

I've been so busy these past few days...

'

As dusk fell.

Jiang Xingchen, who was still in EPOCH in Mangwon-dong, received a message from Park Jiyeon.

It is a way of contacting someone.

It is said that the interior designer from Daewoo Construction was introduced by Cui Xiuying.

It's true that having acquaintances makes things easier.

That should be enough to resolve one issue.

He replied with "Received," then glanced at the sky outside; it was still early.

He dialed the number sent by Park Jiyeon.

The other party obviously received the notification as well.

They responded very enthusiastically.

After chatting for a few minutes, we got down to business.

We agreed to meet tomorrow, then do a site visit, and then I hung up the phone.

after that.

He stood up and stretched.

Then I shut down the computer and tidied up my desk.

He left with his bag on his back.

Of course, Park Ji-yeon didn't forget the bread she brought.

This is tomorrow's breakfast.

It was still early, so there was no rush to go home. I planned to have dinner out before heading back.

But they didn't go directly to the nearest subway station.

Instead, we walked along Wangyuan Road, which was rather deserted, for about ten or twenty minutes until we reached World Cup Road.

I looked around and randomly chose a direction to continue walking.

CityWalk.

That is, the line he often uses to deal with Park Jiyeon and the others recently—wandering around aimlessly.

I wasn't expecting to trigger any missions.

It really was just a simple walk around and looking at things.

When my legs started to ache slightly, I had already reached a bustling area.

I randomly picked a fried chicken restaurant that looked decent and went in, ordering a fried chicken and beer combo that's been popular for the past two years.

Completely unconcerned about the probing gazes of others.

I ate alone, leisurely, and then went home.

He had barely pushed open the door of the rooftop apartment when he received a text message from Park Hyo-min.

Asking what to wear tomorrow.

In fact.

With her fashion sense, there's no need for her to worry about this.

However, considering that the other party is the design director of a clothing company, they might be more sensitive about this aspect.

But if a striking outfit can increase one's chances...

It's not so strange to consult with someone.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xingchen burst out laughing.

He casually tossed his bag onto the sofa, picked up the remote to turn on the air conditioner, and then leisurely replied to the message.

To be frank, it doesn't have to be that complicated.

Being too deliberate is actually not good.

Park Hyo-min: Oh my god, I was hoping you could help me take a look at the clothes.

Jiang Xingchen: No, if you turn around you'll see something you shouldn't.
