BXBX NOVEL Chapter 96 - Eun-Sun's Brilliance
Dan-Han chewed on the sandwich which Eun-Sun had given him, and he had to admit that it was the best sandwich he has eaten. And the egg rolls were fantastic.
So she was good cook. He didn\'t see her as one. If skipping breakfast would get him this sandwiches everyday, then he\'ll skip breakfast his whole life.
"So will you make these again tomorrow?" Dan-Han said receiving the tissue she was handing to him.
"Hmm?" Eun-Sun\'s eyes flew to his face.
"You intend on skipping your breakfast tomorrow?" Eun-Sun couldn\'t help but ask.
"Yes and as matter of fact all week" Dan-Han shamelessly declared, startling everyone in the car. Chang-Wok choked on his saliva.
\'My boss has gone mad!!\' He cried in his heart.
"Okay?" Dan-Han looked at Chang-Wok and asked.
"Yes boss" Chang-Wok replied as he tried to calm himself.
He turned to see Eun-Sun looking at him with an incredulous look.
He was kidding right? He was going to skip breakfast all week? Why? Because of work or what?
"Mr Lee, why would you want to do that? That would make your mother worried" She told him.
"Lucky enough I now have you to feed me. So henceforth you\'re now responsible for my wellbeing" He replied. Eun-Sun couldn\'t believe her ears right now. Why this man suddenly acting like a big baby.
He\'d skip meals just to have her feed him? Something was indeed wrong with this man\'s head.
Eun-Sun didn\'t know how to reply to that. She just packed up her lunch pack and looked outside the window.
Dan-Han chuckled inwardly as he looked at Eun-Sun. \'This was going to be fun\'
He shook his head before picking up his file to look at.
Minutes later, they arrived at the project site. Eun-Sun marvelled at the line of people waiting for him at the site. it looked as if an entire village had been emptied to wait for him there. The man was always treated like a king and the way he carried himself was indeed kingly, even his aura was no less than that of royalty.
"Welcome Presideny Lee" The chief engineer greeted with a low bow as well as everyone present.
"Mm" Was all he muttered in response. Eun-sun looked at him from the corner of her eyes. Was that all he had to say in response to someone\'s greeting? She asked herself. Little did she know that the cold and aloof president Lee Dan-Han was only chatty when it comes to her. A fact she\'d come to realize soon enough.
"Progress?" Dan-Han said looking at the chief engineer who began to sweat the moment Dan-Han said that word.
"Sir we\'re yet to come up with a lucrative plan for the hills. We still think they should blast it off. Because the plain grounds would be of more use to use in respect to this project" The chief engineer said and his little minions concurred by nodding their head affirmatively.
Dan-Han looked at them with an inscrutable look making them break out in cold sweat. He couldn\'t believe they were being useless to him right now.
"Since you guys can\'t find a solution to this problem" He paused, he was indirectly calling them incompetent. "I brought a more capable mind with me" He added turning to Eun-sun, who was having a good view of the area. The land which they were standing on was at the rural part of country A. It was hectares and hectares of land. The scenery, clean air and clean vegetation of the environment was going to make this project a huge success, because most people who lived in the bustling cities are always in need of some peaceful place to visit for vacations and what better place to do that than a place like try this. This project was going to create some exposure to this part of the country.
Eun-sun couldn\'t help but admire Dan-Han\'s intelligence.
"Ms Park" Eun-sun turned around to see Dan-Han beckoning on her. The other pair of eyes looking at her like she was some sort of alien didn\'t miss her eyes either. The most confused person there was Secretary Chang-Wok, who was looking at his boss like he just said something strange and wrong.
Eun-sun walked closer to Dan-Han, and bowed to the people in front of her.
"Ms Park here has an idea for the problem all of you have not been able to fix" He spoke in a very cold tone.
\'You included\' Eun-sun said in her mind.
"Ms Park" Dan-Han said softly. He could have easily shared her idea with them, but he didn\'t want to do that. He didn\'t want the to seem like his own, and he also had a personal reason for doing this.
Eun-sun felt nervous and shy, she hasn\'t spoken in front of such people before. Looking at the them, one could tell they were all professionals on their own field. She took deep breaths and calmed herself. She wasn\'t a shy and weak girl, she was strong, bold and fearless. And this was a good opportunity to show how capable of was.
"I know you guys have said the site isn\'t good for construction because of the precipitous cliffs, and because it\'s too high and has deep ravines." She paused and the men nodded.
"But you all most agree with me that despite the cliffs, these hills and mountains are what makes this scenery perfect for the project"
"Of course, but we still can\'t work on it" One of the Engineers said from the back and the others nodded in agreement.
"But what if we can actually build on it?" She paused to pique their interest. They looked at her like she was saying something crazy. They were the experts and what does she know? Where did the president even bring such a small girl from to come lecture them about their job, which they have been doing for years. They all had different opinions from her\'s but they couldn\'t voice out because of Dan-Han\'s presence. Thus they could ask, "How?"
"By building cliff houses" She announced in a firm voice. They all turned to look at each other and started whispering to one another.
Dan-Han cleared his voice so they\'ll all know he was still standing there. Peace and quiet returned back to the place, the men shooting an apologetic look to the stoic man who was glaring at them for interrupting his woman.
When they all gave Eun-sun a look that urged her to continue, Eun-sun cleared her throat and continued.
"I know the measure problem is about the mountain streams, so what of we dig a ditch and channel those streams. Then we can build those cliff houses" Eun-sun concluded.
When the men kept looking at her, she added, "That\'s all"
The men fell quiet as they contemplated on her idea. Eun-sun nervously turned back to look at Dan-Han, and she didn\'t expect to see what he did next. He gave her a thumps up, while flashing a small smile at her which lasted for seconds. Eun-sun\'s heart skidded when she saw the smile on his face, and also the approving thumbs up from him. She felt proud of herself. Being acknowledged by the insatiable and hardcore boss of PK Corps felt great.
She looked up to his face to see if his smile was still there, but of course not, it was long gone. It was almost as if it was all her imagination. But only her shared that thought, because secretary Chang-Wok was still thinking if he had also imagined his boss smile
After some moments of silence the chief engineer spoke up.
"I must say your idea is novel but it is also beautiful. That was good one Ms Park" He said while the others spoke up.
"If I must ask, do you work with the company?" The man was curious where such a brilliant young girl came from. She had just solved a long standing problem with a very simple yet unique solution, which they couldn\'t think of.
"Yes" Eun-sun replied.
"That\'s great. It\'s good to have an innovative mind working in the company" The man praised. Eun-sun wouldn\'t like she was feeling great about herself at the moment. She couldn\'t remember the last time she had such words of acknowledgement from anybody. It felt good and sweet. And she felt grateful to Dan-Han for giving such an opportunity.
"President Lee this indeed a brilliant idea and I believe it would would work perfectly" The chief engineer said with a smile while Dan-Han nodded.
"Then make the proper arrangements, and send then proper documents to my office by Friday" Dan-Han said, while the others nodded in unison.
Dan-Han looked at Eun-sun who had a happy look on her face. He liked when she was like that.
"Wait for me in the car" He said to her and she bowed to the engineers and they all nodded appreciatively to her.
"Sir she\'s such a brilliant girl." The Chief engineer said when he saw Dan-Han look at her as she walked away. He knew that look. It seems the big devilish boss has taking liken to the girl. That was good. Which man doesn\'t like a smart woman, mostly one as beautiful as she was.
"Yes she is" Dan-Han replied subconsciously.
