City of Backstreet Nymphs

268 – Seo Ye-rim, the flame is taken away!? # 3

268 – Seo Ye-rim, loses her spark!? #3

“Seo Ye-rim, you need to evaluate yourself more calmly about where you are and what kind of person you were born as. “You are my daughter and a member of the Telos family.”

At Seo Sang-yong’s words, Ye-rim clicked her tongue and felt something inside her.

She thought that her father, Seo Sang-yong, would start nagging her like always.

Seo Sang-yong, who can be called the CEO of a huge corporation, has long been displeased with Seo Ye-rim working as an awakened person. She said

She said no parent would like their child to take risks.

“Now that it’s like this, let me find a place for an arranged marriage. Seo Ye-rim, you probably know very well how important a marriage of convenience plays in mergers and acquisitions between companies.”

“What? Are you asking me to marry a man I don’t even know who he is and have children? Is that all you have to say to me now? Even your own children were ultimately tools for money! This is why businessmen… !”

Seo Ye-rim was angry.

Normally, she would have felt the heat like a bubbling furnace inside her chest, but now that Seo Ye-rim had lost her flame along with her shadow, even when she got angry, she felt clear and clear.

Only then was Seo Ye-rim able to think calmly about her own feelings.

It was good for her to see that the hot fire in her heart that was fueling various emotions had disappeared and she was now able to contemplate her own emotions.

‘Why am I so angry now? Because someone bullied you? Because you prioritize the safety of the company over worrying about whether your father is okay? Either that or….’

“I have nothing more to say. Director Ahn. Take Yerim to the coordinates I mentioned in 2 hours. Then everyone get out. Illinois, take Seo Ye-rim with you.”

“hehehehe, I’m just asking you to leave it to me… ! Instead, as always, don’t forget to fill up that Illinois bank account with nymph coins… !”

Swish-.

After saying the above words, Seo Sang-yong looked at his watch. Because she thought she wasted too much time scolding her daughter.

Rumbling-.

Everyone stepped back and Seo Sang-yong let out a small sigh.

“Why don’t you go out?”

“Can I say something for a moment?”

He was Haildo.

Seo Sang-yong knew very well that Seo Ye-rim was a man who always showed interest.

Seo Sang-yong said.

“It’s quite expensive to talk to me. “Do you know how many conglomerates and political figures are trying to reserve and purchase a luncheon meeting ticket because they want to talk to me?”

Eat or talk with Seo Sang-yong -.

That in itself has become a privilege and power so great that it can control the world.

The proof was that when a reservation ticket to have lunch with Seo Sang-yong appeared at auction, it was sold at an incredibly high price.

A man at the top was someone who could influence the world with just a simple meal.

In that sense, Seo Ye-rim, born as Seo Sang-yong’s daughter, seemed to be completely unaware of what privilege she had.

She didn’t seem to realize at all how great it was to be able to eat and spend time with Seo Sang-yong every day.

In Seo Sang-yong’s opinion, this man named Ha Il-do—.

To be honest, he was not on his level.

Nevertheless, the reason Seo Sang-yong abandoned Hail-do was because the man named Hail-do had sacrificed himself for the citizens several times and because her daughter, Seo Ye-rim, liked this man.

So, Seo Sang-yong decided to overlook the man’s rudeness.

“Tell me.”

“I think Yerim has worked hard so far. And I think she can eventually solve the problems she is facing now on her own.”

“Anyone can talk about such ideals. Do you know that the world is not made up of romanticists but of harsh proofs of reality? “That’s why I’m here.”

“… ….”

Haildo kept his mouth shut.

He is probably trying to think carefully about what he has to say next.

Seo Sang-yong, who built an empire from almost zero, was proud of himself for having an accurate eye for seeing people and understanding situations.

In the eyes of Seo Sang-yong, the man named Ha Il-do was a man who proved himself with actions rather than clumsy words.

Zek-.

Seo Sang-yong got up from his seat and approached the window.

100Th floor.

Just looking down from a safe place is a dizzying sight.

Many people are still literally bleeding to death just to see this sight.

“Haildo. “What do you see beyond this window?”

Seo Sang-yong was able to distinguish people through his appreciation of what he saw while standing at the height of this peak. What kind of man is Haildo?

What kind of scenery does he see when he looks at this overwhelming sight?

Is it greed or envy that he wants to be in a similar position?

Or should I just talk about idealism?

“An owl. “I see an owl over there.”

“Owl?”

“Look, there’s a horned owl flying. It’s called Kalinoi. One of my friends. “Maybe they’re waiting for me to come out.”

Owl.

This was the first time Seo Sang-yong had heard of it.

There were definitely owls flying around the building.

It was an owl that was very large and had fluffy feathers.

Seo Sang-yong, who was lost in thought for a while, came to a conclusion after thinking about it for about 5 seconds.

“I’ll give it a week. “If it takes more than a week for all cases to be resolved, I will have Seo Ye-rim marry any of the third generation of the chaebol, as the head of the company and with the authority of her father.”

“… Anybody come out?”

“Yes, it’s anyone. It’s not for me to say, but people from chaebol families are generally unlucky people. “No matter who you look at, he looks like an idiot, so he doesn’t need to choose his partner too hard.”

Haildo seemed greatly embarrassed.

However, perhaps he thought he was running out of time, he said, “Excuse me for a moment then,” And opened the window on the 100th floor.

Whiooooo-.

As a strong wind blew through the open window, Haildo climbed the window railing and jumped down to the 100th floor.

There was no moment for Seo Sang-yong to stop him.

Purrr!

Soon, the horned owl Kalinoi let out a sharp cry, snatched Hyildo’s arms and shoulders in the air, and flew off into the distance, flapping its wings even higher in the sky.

“… ….”

Seo Sang-yong, who saw the man disappearing like a dot into the dizzying sun, looked down the window with some admiration and some envy.

“No one has ever jumped from here.”

Seo Sang-yong realized that even the 100th floor was nothing more than the rooftop of a building attached to the ground compared to the sky where owls fly.

It was a moment of laughter.

“A dragon that can’t fly. “It’s a funny story.”

Seo Sang-yong, who was thinking about climbing up the railing to get some fresh air, closed the window and sat down at his desk.

A sea anemone!

I joined the nymphs who were waiting for me at Telos Cafe in Macheon City and informed them of the conversation I had just had with Seo Sang-yong.

Then, after listening to the story for a while, Oinoi nodded as if he understood something.

“Arranged marriage is one of Kore’s important virtues… ! Originally, Kore people marry against their will… !”

“Of Calls… ! Persephone, known as the original Kore or Kore Origin, was also kidnapped against her will… ! Also, many women, including Helen and Psyche, were forced into marriages they did not want… !”

In the nymphs’ minds, arranged and forced marriages for women seemed to be nothing special and natural.

However, Seo Ye-rim frowned and got angry.

“Don’t be ridiculous! Who do you think will do what they say? How can you control my life? My life is mine! “No one can complain about that!”

“That is a false story… ! I’m asking you to think about whether Kore Yerim’s life – the food her father gave her, the money her father gave her, and the life she lived in the house her father gave her – were really hers… !”

Tiyong-.

Illinois’ words were extremely philosophical and somehow seemed like the right answer.

I spoke calmly to Seo Ye-rim, thinking that she was indeed a very good nymph who had wandered the world for a long time.

“We only have a week. Honestly, it’s close to impossible to catch a villain who can even teleport within a week. “What are you going to do?”

“How to do it. Actually, it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time. I can’t do anything like this anymore. I am leaving Telos Company. And Seo Sang-yong’s daughter will also quit.”

What?

The story was so sudden that my thoughts stuttered as if my head was stuck.

Tsubaki, who was quietly listening to the story next to him, was also surprised.

“Seo Ye-rim, do you know what that means? Is it because you don’t know what will happen if you stop being part of the corporate family? “I tell you, you won’t last a week.”

“That’s it… ! Illinois is against Kore becoming penniless… ! It’s a crazy idea… !”

I thought so too.

However, Seo Ye-rim’s thoughts seemed to be already steadfast.

“No, now I think I know for sure what I wanted to do. For a long time, I hated stories like being born as the daughter of a chaebol family and being a honey sucker. I will stand on my own strength alone. Ruler! Let’s go!”

Seo Ye-rim pushed the chair and got up from her seat.

“Please pick me an Americano so I can have a drink on the way out.”

Seo Ye-rim handed out a black card to a cafe employee.

However, the cafe staff looked embarrassed.

“Yerim, they say this card has been suspended?”

“What?”

Seo Ye-rim soon handed out all the cards she had.

However, most cards were frozen or had no balance.

Seo Ye-rim was astonished.

“Don’t be ridiculous! Each bank account must have had at least several hundred million in it! Anyone who can do something like this… There is only one father. “What happened to Anyoung?”

Seo Ye-rim asked her secretary Ahn Young-eun.

Then Ahn Young-eun spoke, her body shaking.

“I, uh, first contacted your father…. Your father said that if you are going to leave the company, you should give up all your perks and privileges….”

“Why did you take all my money!”

“Well, the personal and property damage you have caused so far has been handled by Telos Insurance. If the costs are executed in one lump sum, roughly the entire amount can be repaid, but the debt is approximately 300 million won… They say they’ll stay….”

“I… Debt… ? “You owe me something?”

Seo Ye-rim seemed embarrassed by the situation she was experiencing for the first time in her life.

300 Million.

It was a very large debt and I felt like I was losing my mind for no reason, but Seo Ye-rim slapped her cheek as if she had just come to her senses.

“It’s clear that Dad did it on purpose! To f*ck me! Heil and I will have to stay at your house for a few days first. The debt will be repaid as soon as I catch the thief and regain my power, right?”
