Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 13(She's Just Getting Started)

Mr Gong Yoo walked out of Mr Kim’s office with a few marketing directors. They all looked serious and in a hurry as they rushed out. Jisoo took the advantage. She went into the office after knocking on the door.

Instead of sitting behind the big desk, Taehyung sat in the middle of the couch. He was deep in thought, with his arms resting on the knees, and fingers crossed, holding the chin.

Considering it was quite rare to see him so focused, Jisoo slowed down. She first put away the paper cups, then added some hot water into his large canteen before bringing it to him.

He then finally looked up and stared at her, quietly waiting for her to say something. Jisoo smiled, “President Kim, regarding the Ming Sheng Project, maybe I can—” Before she could finish, the door was pushed open. Mr Park walked in. Seeing them in the office together, his facial expression remained the same. He walked straight to the couch next to Taehyung, “Let’s have another discussion about it.”

Taet remained silent; he turned to Lin Qian, “You can continue.” Jimin also raised his eyebrows, staring at her.

Jisoo paused a little before cutting to the chase. “My older brother is working for an investment company in America. His previous employer, DP Investment Group, was the foreign shareholder that held part of Ming Sheng’s tradable shares. He is on good terms with them. I’m thinking, if it’s convenient, we could have him help us connect. Maybe that way we could arrange President Kim to meet up with the senior managers from Ming Sheng.”

Lin Qian noticed Mr Park’s eyes clearly brighten even before she finished talking. She knew that she’d done exactly the right thing, and was secretly feeling delighted.

They both turned to Taehyung.

Leaning against the couch, he had already straightened his posture, looking peaceful. Without any obvious signs of relief on his face, he seemed to be considering her suggestion.

However, after the brief silence, in a low voice, “I don’t need your connections.” There was almost a hint of stubbornness in his calmness.

Jisoo was speechless.

It also took Jimin by surprise. After sharing brief eye contact with Jisoo, he smiled slyly. “Miss Jisoo, your dear President Kim is too used to the military,” he bantered. “He hasn’t left it behind yet. His least favorite thing would be taking advantage of... um, nepotism, to reach his goal. ”

Jisoo was still speechless.

Nepotism?

Mr Park sounded half-joking, leaving Jisoo confused for a second. But, Boss wouldn’t be this stubborn, would he?

She turned to Mr Kim. He was staring right at her.

Lin Qian said, “I’m offering this because it’s quick and convenient. Plus...” Taehyung’s jet-black eyes were like bottomless pits. Staring at him, Jisoo suddenly thought of what he had said to her the other day. “I trust you.” The memory made everything around her heart feel warm.

“Plus what?” Taehyung suddenly asked, breaking from his normal silence.

Jisoo glared at him, responding in a low voice, “Plus, throughout the ages, nepotism has always been useful and practical.”

Stunned, Mr Park, standing next to them, immediately burst into laughter.

Even Taehyung’s eyes widened, which was followed by the rare upturn of the corners of his lips. His stern face appeared much softer.

Jisoo felt a hint of warmth on her face.

Jimin then stood up. “Alright, since Ms Kim  had to use such wise words, as leaders, we have to be grateful. I’ll be in charge this time. Taehyung, you can stay out of it. The decision has already been made. Miss Jisoo, you can start on that now.”
