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

Chapter 13(She's Just Getting Started)

Boss, considering how close you’re standing, are you trying to show me your sincerity and formality? You are just... too humble.

Jisoo paused, returning his clear gaze.

It was a skill to appropriately accept compliments from the boss. You could neither act too proud nor too humble. So she gave him a little smile, adjusted her posture, and casually waved her hand. “My pleasure, sir.” She then saluted him like a proper soldier.

As expected, this was received well by him.

Taehyung’s dark eyes appeared to be smiling. So did Jisoo’s.

People always said that employees should be able to manage their superiors, so she was doing a great job, wasn’t she?

Such an emotionless person, but he had smiled at her twice.

Just as she was becoming excited, he said, “I’ll return the favor. From now on.”

...

The afternoon of the next day quickly came.

A Cadillac slowly cruised through the city. Jisoo was sitting in the passenger’s seat, and Mr Gong Yoo was behind the wheel. In the back sat Mr Park and Mr Kim.

The car was heading towards the west CBD district. The skyscraper for Ming Sheng’s headquarters could be seen amongst other skyscrapers from afar, appearing dark and mysterious.

Greeting them was Ming Sheng’s associate director, a lean man in his forties. He appeared to be moderate and well-mannered. After a short conversation, they were led to a small meeting room located on the top floor in the general manager’s office area.

“It won’t be long,” he said. “There is a visitor with President Kang. I’ll take you in once the meeting is over.”

The associate director then headed out after seeing that Layover was okay with waiting.

It was 3:45 pm. They were a little early, and spent the time quietly looking around at each other and the room. Mr Park broke the silence.

“Later, it would be great if President Kim could do a little more talking,” he joked with Taehyung. “I’ve heard that President Kang graduated as an engineer, and is also very quiet. Just make sure it’s not completely silent in there.”

Both Jisoo and Mr Gong Yoo burst into laughter. Taehyung raised his eyebrows, deadpanning, “Very well. We are like-minded and know silence is golden.”

Mr Kim’s lack of facial expression astounded Jisoo and Mr Gong Yoo. They didn’t figure it out until seeing Jimin cackle. Unless... Boss is being funny? It brought everyone to laughter once they realized.

Even though it was a joke, what Mr Park had just mentioned was really consuming Jisoo. Should Mr Kim meet up with someone of his equivalent level? It was unlikely to expect the Boss to be socially active. She truly had no idea how this would turn out. The clock was ticking.

At four o’clock sharp, the same assistant manager walked in. Everyone including Jisoo stood up. With a smile on Mr Gong Yoo’s face, he asked, “Can we?”

Surprisingly, his smile seemed apologetic. “President Kim, and Manager Park, I’m sorry but President Kang’s last visitor is still there. They are in the thick of it. I’m afraid I can’t interrupt.”

Immediately Jimin answered, “No worries. We’ll just be sitting here for a little longer. Thank you.”

Smiling, the assistant manager nodded and left.

But 4:40 pm eventually came. Impatient, Jimin sent Mr Gong Yoo to double check, only to discover that was a wild goose chase. In contrast, Taehyung appeared calm and patient. The waiting also slowly took a toll on Jisoo.
