Chapter 417
Kim Eun-ah was guided by Lee Soo-hyun and entered the inside of the mansion, not the banquet hall where the party was taking place.
Inside the mansion, not just influencers invited to the banquet, but officials from Shinsung Group gathered.
Kim Eun-ah confidently entered as the main character at a gathering of many powerful figures in the business world, from affiliates of the Shinsung Group to the chairman of partner companies.
“The lady is entering.”
Of course, Kim Eun-ah, the person involved, did not like this welcome, but she had no choice.
“… … Hey, what kind of show are you putting on? “I said I wanted to go in quietly.”
“This is the chairman’s order.”
There are rules in the business world. Even though it was cumbersome, formality appropriate to the occasion was necessary.
“okay? … … Then there’s nothing we can do.”
After Lee Soo-hyun, who slightly lowered her head, finished her announcement, Kim Eun-ah smiled in the direction of the applause. People from the business world, regardless of age or gender, gathered at several long round tables.
“I don’t know if you remember. Miss Eun-ah. “It is an honor to greet you like this again.”
A young blond man made a gesture with a low posture, as if he was paying respect to a nobleman. Kim Eun-ah asked Lee Soo-hyun in a low voice.
“Who was it?”
“You are the next master of the Heuksan Guild.”
“You are truly amazing. “How do you memorize all this?”
“Because it’s my job.”
The guild leader of Heuksan, one of the five major guilds, was a high-ranking official with whom ordinary students had difficulty talking, but Kim Eun-ah responded with a wave of her hand, unimpressed.
“It’s understandable that you forget. “I heard that Lady Eun-ah is very busy, not only providing succession training but also working as a hunter.”
“Well, it’s nothing like that. Please take care of me too. “It just so happens that the business between Shino and Yusu has been cut off forever.”
Heuksan’s next master could not hide his joy at hearing that the Sinnoh family and prominent guilds, which had been a thorn in his eyes, were excluded from the Shinsung Group’s cooperative guilds.
“ah… … Sinnoh and Yusoo. okay. We at Heuksan will work hard to ensure that the vacancy between those two is never felt!”
At the Academy, she was only the class president of Class A, but Kim Eun-ah’s position here was a bit different. She went so far as to personally swear her oath that she would be loyal to the top guild master if he only gave her the chance.
“yes. I will leave it up to you.”
But there was nothing new. Kim Eun-ah was used to seeing people trying to look good to herself.
Until now, Shin Yoo-sung and his colleagues were the only ones who could truly hang out with Kim Eun-ah like friends. The people that Kim Eun-ah really opened her heart to were those few friends who played around immaturely, even if they were idiots.
“Oh, and miss. 30 minutes later, the vice president and director… … .”
“We’re just going to say ‘mom and dad’ when we’re alone, and we’ll meet up later, right?”
“yes.”
Kim Eun-ah answered that she understood and found the face she had seen so many times in Gaon. There, Park Soo-hyun, her vice-president, was watching her in her suit.
“What, are you debating whether to tell me or not?”
“This is not Gaon Academy. “Are you too observant to be the first to speak out loud?”
Park Soo-hyun’s words were not an exaggeration. Let Kim Eun-ah talk to Park Soo-hyun first, pretending to know her. I felt subtle gazes from around me.
It seemed like Park Su-hyun had assumed that if Kim Eun-ah pretended to know him, Park Soo-hyun was quite ‘high-level’ even among them.
“I am a victim too. Originally, my parents or my eldest brother would have come out. “After hearing the news from you, I came out instead.”
“… … Phew, that’s fun. Get some advantage as a member of Class A. “Is this it?”
“It’s like that. If I am a noble of the outskirts, you are a royal who has received formal succession. Of course, it has to look good, right?”
If you thought that the purpose of this banquet hall was only ‘celebrations’ or ‘parties’, that was a waste. This was a kind of battlefield where people could learn about each other’s status and expand the network of contacts they needed.
Of course, there were a few people who didn’t care about that. However, in the business world where personal connections are important, not being sociable meant giving up quite a bit.
“okay?”
In that respect, the strategy taken by Park Soo-hyun’s parents was praiseworthy. Without Park Soo-hyun, it would be a mid-sized company at best, but if you were acquainted with Kim Eun-ah, it would be a different story.
“I like it because the intention is so transparent and explicit.”
“Is this an insult? “Is this a compliment?”
“Interpret it however you want. “It’s better than those people who smile on the outside but are black on the inside.”
As Kim Eun-ah moved the tip of her chin slightly, her secretary Lee Soo-hyun took out a business card and handed it to Park Soo-hyun.
The spare black business card simply had three letters, Kim Eun-ah, and the name of Shinsung Group written on it, but its impact was extraordinary.
At Shinsung Group, the only person who used a black business card was Chairman Kim Seok-han. However, the fact that Kim Eun-ah inherited that color indirectly means that she is the next president’s talent. Although it was only for spare purposes, a business card from such a network was worth more than a thousand gold.
“If you have any favors, please contact me here. “I can help you get your mind in order.”
Park Soo-hyun accepted the business card with both hands from Kim Eun-ah’s unbelievable gift.
“Really? I didn’t even expect it… … . A harvest like this… … .”
Park Soo-hyun is usually famous for her poker face, but this time she looked surprised.
“Well, because we were in the same class. And I told you. “It is better to have transparent and blatant intentions rather than a fox pretending to be a bear.”
Park Soo-hyun put Kim Eun-ah’s business card in his pocket, even coating it with mana like a treasure. And, satisfied with having achieved his goal, he immediately agreed with Kim Eun-ah’s words.
“okay? As you said, I guess Shin Yu-seong liked it the most in that respect. That guy’s insides are so transparent, right? “I think I can tell what he’s thinking just by looking at his face.”
However, the words Park Soo-hyun said in an attempt to hit back met with a backlash. Kim Eun-ah frowned and whispered her warning in a low voice.
“… … “Don’t talk to me like you know Yooseong.”
Kim Eun-ah was a harsh class president in Class A, but when she showed her temper here, Park Soo-hyun even felt creepy.
“Bah, class president! I didn’t mean to go against my will! No, I just mean it! “Shin Yu-seong didn’t seem like a guy who would take advantage of others!”
As Park Soo-hyun, who was embarrassed, urgently tried to calm himself down, Kim Eun-ah said happily and turned her head.
“That’s right. Yooseong is not that kind of kid… … .”
“Well, I’ll be busy then, so go first. Class monitor. If you have anything to say, please send me a message with Gaon ID. “I will go from my side.”
Park Soo-hyun ran away in a hurry, fearing that he might offend Kim Eun-ah and cause a spark. There was no need to procrastinate since the goal of ‘the next president’s business card and promise’ was achieved.
“miss. Your mouth is probably dry from talking, so try quenching your throat. How about a glass of sangria? Of course it’s non-alcoholic.”
Lee Soo-hyun, who is quick-witted, gave Kim Eun-ah a glass of wine to lighten her mood and brighten the mood.
“uh?”
But Kim Eun-ah did not accept the cup. It wasn’t that she didn’t like sangria, but for a completely different reason.
“that is… … .”
Kim Eun-ah carefully touched her lips with her white fingers and her face immediately turned red as if she remembered something. She then shook her head.

“Oh, no. it’s okay… … . “I don’t want to drink it now.”
Kim Eun-ah felt like if she wet her mouth with a drink, the textures and memories she felt earlier would be overwritten.
“Miss, are you okay? Her face is very red… … .”
When her secretary Lee Soo-hyun looked at her blushing face with concern, Kim Eun-ah quickly shook her head.
“Really, it’s okay! “It’s just a little hot!”
“yes? is that so? I don’t think the temperature is hot enough… … .”
Lee Soo-hyun couldn’t understand Kim Eun-ah’s suddenly blushing face. However, if she had just seen Kim Eun-ah’s secret meeting with Shin Yu-sung at the banquet hall, she would have understood quickly.
“That’s it! “Let’s go quickly to mom and dad. They called me!”
In the end, only Lee Soo-hyun ended up hearing what he said innocently. The story she shared with her family afterwards wasn’t that important to Kim Eun-ah.
“Good to see you back. “It’s Eun-ya.”
The hospitality of my father, who said he was trustworthy and was willing to smile just for today.
“Yes, this is for you. “You’ve been a genius in this field since you were young, right?”
In her mother’s faith, Kim Eun-ah became a true successor. Those who participated in this banquet will gladly announce who the successor to Shinsung Group will be.
If it were any other group, there would have been a fight between relatives aiming for the throne, but fortunately, that didn’t happen in the Shinsung Group.
“Eun-ya. “Have you changed your mind?”
From the beginning, Kim Jun-hyuk had no desire to be the successor. Because he dreamed of becoming a hunter more than getting an education to become his successor.
Rather, what Kim Jun-hyuk wanted to achieve by relying on magic stones was his dream of becoming a high-level hunter. So I was willing to smile and give in.
Because it wasn’t his place from the beginning.
“huh.”
“You will be a good manager. Because there is no one in Shinsung Group who doubts that quality. but… … .”
Rather, Kim Jun-hyuk asked Kim Eun-ah a question as an older brother with a truly worried expression on his face.
“Are you sure you’ll be okay? “Are you Eun-ya?”
Kim Jun-hyuk’s short question contained so many meanings that Kim Eun-ah could not easily answer.
“I’m saying you really won’t regret it. Because I’m your brother. “I know better than anyone else what kind of child you are, right?”
In the end, when Kim Jun-hyuk smiled and spoke as an older brother, not as an official of Shinsung Group, Kim Eun-ah burst out laughing.
“yes I’m fine. I’ll think about it for a while… … You’ll be worried… … . But Yoosung has Sumire and Adela by his side. I believe you will do well! “I don’t think you need to worry.”
“really?”
“huh. really… … . And you don’t even have time to think about that? “I want to concentrate on my work for the time being.”
Despite Kim Eun-ah’s clear answer, Kim Jun-hyuk showed a complex expression, as if he knew or didn’t know. Since he knew me well, I couldn’t help it. It was sad that even such small signals could read minds this time.
“… … Yes, I will believe it.”
Kim Jun-hyuk said nothing as he watched Kim Eun-ah leaving the banquet hall. It might be a difficult choice, but if it was Kim Eun-ah’s decision, it was her brother’s role to support her.
‘In that short time… … You covered a lot. ‘It’s Eun-ya.’
I can’t believe that that little kid grew up so much without me even seeing him. Kim Jun-hyuk felt like the empty space he had left was bigger today.
