Episode 30 Inevitability under the name of coincidence (2)âAre you here?â
Hong Wi-moonâs greeting was quite polite.
Because of his position, he did not bow down to his waist, but it was rare for a disciple of a religious leader to show respect to this level.
The other person did not take that greeting lightly.
âThe Lord of Hwanhee is meeting you.â
âPlease come up. âI made it as expensive as possible, but Iâm not sure if youâll like it.â
Soyeonsim smiled.
âHwayeonru (è±æ·µæ¨) is under the management of the main hospital. âI know best how good the food here is.â
âOh, I see.â
Hong Yu-wen scratched his head. Soyeonsim laughed at that action, which expressed her own embarrassment.
The two went up to the pavilion in a friendly manner.
Hwayeonru was one of the five main bases in Shingyo Naeseong and was also a favorite base for the leaders. Hongwimun Gate was located at Cheonwijeong (天ä½äº), which is said to have the best view in Hwayeonru.
The slightly dark sky, fragrant food and cool breeze added to the charm.
Soyeonsim smiled and asked.
âAnyway, how did the master of construction, who was so busy with his work, invite me?â
Itâs pretty straightforward from the start. However, the smile and voice were so gentle that it did not cause any discomfort to the other person.
Hong Yuwen shook his head.
âIs there any particular reason? âIt is not difficult to serve dinner to someone who works tirelessly for our school.â
âGoodbye.â
I donât know that these are empty words. Nevertheless, So Yeon-sim covered her mouth and smiled as if she was truly grateful.
Hong Yuwen smiled.
âThis is Geumjoncheong (éå°æ·¸), which was transported with great difficulty. âPlease take a drink.â
âthank you.â
The two filled each otherâs glasses.
Hong Yu-wen asked as he passed by.
âHow did you successfully upload the payment documents?â
Soyeonsim answered leisurely.
âyes. âIt was already made to some extent, so there was no difficulty in fixing it.â
âThank you for your hard work.â
âDo you have any trouble? âI am the one who reviews and receives confirmation from the higher-ups, but the people below do all the work.â
âIt is not easy to create a good environment for subordinates to do well. âI donât think there is anyone who doesnât know how hard Wonju is working.â
âI donât know what to do with myself after you paint me with gold like this.â
âI just said what I felt.â
The two people smiled and tilted their glasses.
The questions regarding payment documents could be seen as quite serious from Soyeonsimâs perspective. It wasnât a bad thing, but it wasnât a good thing to hear about it again.
Nevertheless, his expression does not waver at all.
âItâs not easy either.â
In fact, she is a heroine who endured for decades in the battlefield called Shingyo and even achieved the position of Hwanhee Wonju. This is probably not someone who will be swayed by words like this.
âHow about some alcohol?â
âItâs a bit too spicy for my taste.â
âOh, is that so?â
âI donât really like heavy scents. âBut the aftertaste isnât bad.â
Hong Yuwenâs eyes deepened.
It was just a personal opinion, but it was not an easy thing to say to the person who prepared the drinks and food. Moreover, isnât the other person a disciple of the religious leader?
âAre you offended? âJust that much?â
After examining her closely, Hong Yuwen changed his thoughts.
It wasnât to hurt the other personâs feelings or to look into the other personâs intentions. So Yeon-sim was just expressing her honest feelings.
âItâs significant.â
It is not easy to respond in this way in a Protestant church where the gap in social status is clear. This means that you are well aware of your own value and that your self-esteem is strong.
âI have no taste in talking back. This is an opponent you need to attack honestly. This is a type that is not easily seen at our school.â
At the same time, he was also a very mine-like person. Because I donât try to hide the power that I donât need to talk about.
âWould you like another drink?â
âOh, Iâll drink it a little slower.â
As expected, I was right.
Hong Yuwen smiled and handed her the bottle.
âIf you do, please give me a drink.â
In So Yeon-simâs eyes, Lee Chae was young.
I was interested in the other personâs reaction.
âOf course you should.â
She politely filled his glass.
When the cup was almost completely filled, Hong Wi-moon spoke.
âI need help.â
Squeak.
So Yeon-sim downed the bottle without any embarrassment. There was no answer either.
Hong Yu-wen also put down his glass. The alcohol was flowing as if it would spill at any moment, but not a single drop of alcohol was spilled.
âLend me a hand.â
Soyeonsim, who was staring at Hongwimun, lifted her glass and emptied it.
âIt was a good drink.â
Soyeonsim that rises slowly.
A smile formed in Hong Wei-moonâs eyes as he looked up at her.
âAre you uncomfortable?â
âBecause I am opposed to giving power to one candidate before it is inconvenient.â
âWhat makes you think that?â
Soyeonsimâs eyes deepened.
âI donât know about other organizations, but this center canât do that. âIf the main school moves, the main school shakes.â
It may sound arrogant, but Hong Yu-wen agreed with her words.
Among those who easily mention the word housekeeping, not many know how important it is.
There is no need to say anything if you are in charge of the household affairs of a super-powerful force like the Church of the Heavenly Demon. Hwanheewon was responsible for everything from small items such as food ingredients to large scale funds.
It may be a fighting organization, but when Hwan Hee-won starts to gain strength, the landscape of the succession battle changes. As So Yeon-sim says, even Protestantism can be shaken.
âI thought you would naturally know that, but Iâm surprised.â
She took out a small pouch from her arms.
âI ate well. âI will pay for what I eat.â
Hong Yuwen shook his head.
âI invited you, so I will pay for dinner.â
âare you okay.â
âAnd it seems that Lord So is misunderstanding something.â
âA misunderstanding?â
âI asked you to lend me a hand, but I never asked you to be on my side.â
The corners of Soyeonsimâs mouth rose.
It was still a beautiful smile, but there was a bone-chilling chill inside it.
âOther than the difference in words, I donât think there is much difference.â
âItâs completely different. As Wonju said, itâs not like he doesnât know the characteristics of Hwanheewon.â
âIt doesnât matter even if itâs different. âThis center does not provide any support to candidates unless it is appropriate.â
âI donât think that is specified in the teachings.â
âThis is my method of loyalty away from teaching.â
âI encourage you to think about that method of loyalty differently.â
âIt was a good meal.â
So Yeonsim turned her back.
Hong Yu-moon, who was quietly looking at her back, opened his mouth.
âYou need some Cheonggu Quadrifolia?â
At that moment, Soyeonsim stopped walking.
She still had her back turned. It is not visible what kind of expression he is making.
Hong Yu-wen said in a relaxed voice.
âItâs a precious herb. Even in Yunnan, where most of the medicinal herbs coming to our school are grown, they are not available. Did you say that it is a medicinal herb that can hardly be found even near the far eastern sea?â
ââ¦.â
âIf you need it, Iâll give it to you. âI donât really have anything to write about.â
Hong Yu-moon did not need to explain at length. This was because I knew that talking too long would only provoke the other person.
How much time has passed like that?
Slurp.
Soyeonsim turned around.
Her beautiful face was still there, but the smile that had always left her face was gone.
Hong Wei-wen smiled and lifted the bottle.
âWould you like another drink?â
Soyeonsim, who had been quietly glaring at him, sat down and raised her glass.
Hong Yuwen never behaved arrogantly. He filled my glass in an effortlessly polite manner.
So Yeon-sim emptied the glass in one go.
Hong Yuwen filled her cup again.
Only after emptying the glass three times in a row did So Yeon-sim open her mouth.
âHow did you know?â
âDoes it matter how you knew?â
âItâs important. At least for me.â
Hong Yuwen shook his head.
âIf you want to hear that, you must bring the appropriate trade goods. âI donât do business that doesnât fit the abacus.â
So Yeonsim smiled coldly.
âIt looks like there is an abacus called Hard Selling stuck in that abacus.â
âPlease understand that this is due to unfavorable circumstances.â
Hong Yuwen smiled.
âIn order for a transaction to go smoothly, you have to offer what the other party wants. At least for Wonju, I think that the green leaf herb is an item worthy of trade. How is it?â
So Yeon-sim looked at him without answering.
How much time has passed like that?
âLetâs listen first. âWhat does Sakongja want?â
Hong Wei-wenâs smile deepened. SÑará´h the NovelÆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Itâs hard to do anything at first, but once you get started, itâs easy from then on.
Now that my conviction, which had not been broken until now, has been broken, if I ever have to do business again in the future, it will be easier than it is now.
âItâs nothing special. âIf you have a good relationship, it could be resolved by asking.â
ââ¦.â
âYou mean to get to the point first. All right. âIâll tell you.â
After refreshingly emptying his glass, Hong Wi-moon spoke lightly.
âHwanheewon also manages maids, right?â
ââ¦.â
âI would like you to give a secret order to one of the maids.â
âWhich maid are you talking about? âWhat is the secret name?â
âDo you know a maid named Aenghwa?â
Soyeonsim shook her head.
Hong Wi-moon smiled as if he knew that would happen.
âI am a maid who works at the residence of the Three Dukes.â
ââ¦!â
âPlease ask the child to send me a letter detailing the activities of the three princes over the past three months. âPreferably every day.â
For a moment, Soyeonsimâs eyes wavered.
âAre you planning on touching the Three Dukes?â
âI know you as someone who doesnât ask unreasonable questions.â
âI didnât see him as someone who would make unreasonable requests.â
âIs that an unreasonable request?â
âItâs quite an unreasonable request. âDo you know what will happen to me, the one who instigated the incident, if it is discovered that that child is reporting on the daily life of the Three Dukes?â
âTake care of it so you donât get caught.â
âItâs dangerous.â
Dangerous, not impossible. At least if you do it, it means you can do it.
âItâs not particularly dangerous. You just have to live your life as you normally do. âJust send a brief letter at the end of your dayâs work.â
âIt may be simple to say, but howâ¦â
âEven if it becomes a problem, it is easy to solve.â
âItâs easy?â
Hong Yu-wen said as he filled his glass.
âThe truth is as empty as the smoke at the beginning of the year.â
ââ¦.â
âIf the gombangdae disappears, you wonât know who smoked the tobacco.â
ââ¦!â
So Yeon-simâs face was now hardened enough for anyone to see.
âDo you mean to commit murder and extinction?â
âI was just saying the worst case scenario. You wonât actually have to do anything. âYou know, right?â
ââ¦.â
âIf you will grant me that request, I will hand you the green leaf herb. âIâm telling you, just in case, itâs genuine.â
A moment of silence.
It was Soyeonsim who broke the silence.
âNo matter what, itâs a difficult request.â
âWon-ju.â
âItâs not a matter of conviction, but a matter of uncertainty. âI donât even know what kind of child Aenghwa is, but I canât entrust her with work.â
âThen it would be okay to change the maid. âHe is someone Wonju can trust and entrust to him.â
ââ¦.â
âI donât know that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.â
Hongwimun began to solidify.
âwill you do it? Or will you give up?â
Soyeonsimâs mouth trembled.
Hong Yu-wen smiled with satisfaction. It was then that she realized she was almost over it.
He filled Soyeonsimâs cup.
âWell then, I think the deal is doneâ¦â
That was then.
âHow long are you going to sip from that black, grimy glass?â
The two people were momentarily startled and turned their heads.
A sonorous voice came from far away beyond the door leading to the special room.
âOriginally, I was told to drink the first tea lightly and the second tea strong. âIsnât it time to finish the first part?â
âWho are you?â
The warrior who was waiting opened the door wide.
ââ¦!â
Su Yanshen and Hong Yuwenâs eyes wavered.
Beyond the open door, Seoliang stood holding a bottle of alcohol with a fox cub hanging on his shoulder.
âEven though itâs cheap white liquor, the glass is clean. What are you going to do? Do you want to get over it or do you want to enjoy it more?â
