The Boss and I | Hopekook ( Junghope)

"The members of our family, each of them is also very picky with food. I am considered the least picky. This farm was set up by my grandfather. He disliked the current overuse of chemicals on plants making them unsafe for consumption so he decided to get a piece of land and find some people to farm it. "

After breakfast, they rested for a while to wait for Eunwoo to arrive before making their way to the farm. Nayeon drags Hoseok to go in a separate car, saying she wants to say something private to him .

While she is driving, she smilingly explains to Hoseok the history of the Jeon's family farm. "When grandpa was still alive, he used to always say, with this farm our family will have a grasp on land, agriculture, industry and commerce, all four pillars of the economy."

Hoseok curiously expresses his surprise. He can see that the family is involved in agriculture, commerce and industry but what about land?

Nayeon see his doubts and takes the initiative to explain: "Our family ancestors have been scholars all along. During the Goryeo Dynasty, they even managed to successively take up official posts. Then during the Joseon Dynasty, they only changed to doing business. "

(A/N: The Jeon family began as scholars. In the Goryeo dynasty, family members became imperial officials who owned land. This is when the Jeon family began their rise in wealth and power. Thus, the emphasis on 'land' by grandpa Jeon. )

While Hoseok is listening, he has a blank look. At first, he is under the impression that Big Boss's family is just rich only. But he did not expect they have such a long history. His train of thoughts drifts for a while, then Hoseok suddenly remembers something .

"Uh,mmm.... Miss Nayeon, there's something I want to tell you. The person who gave you a blood transfusion the second time was not me. He is another Jeon Corp's employee. "

Hoseok proceeds to explain the misunderstanding which happened at the company's annual party. Nayeon is somewhat surprised, thinks for a moment, then says: "Ohh, my brother didn't exactly lie to me because when I asked if it was you. He did not answer me. So I just took it for granted, thinking it was you. "

She is a little angry, "He is probably afraid I'll send food to other people." While speaking, she glances at Hoseok with a mischievous gleam in her eyes, "Oh, it seems that not just anybody can eat my family's food."

Hoseok feels a sense of relief after explaining everything clearly. He can't be bother to ponder over Boss's motive since he can't see through it. Thus, Hoseok pretends not to hear Miss Nayeon's quip, and he asks with concern: "Didn't you just had a blood transfusion recently, are you okay to drive?"

"It is nothing, just a false alarm. Anyway, the farm is very near, less than half an hour drive only. "

Indeed, they did not drive long, Nayeon already says: "We have arrived."

Hoseok looks out the window and sees a forest. After driving for a short period of time, he can see the farmland and pond. At the roadside, there are several blocks of double-story buildings. In front of those buildings, there are several people already waiting on a piece of empty land.

Nayeon is surprised and says: "How come Jisoo is also here?"

After getting out of the car, a slim, tall and pretty girl with a long wavy hair approaches and smilingly says, "Nayeon "

Nayeon says: "Jisoo, how come you are also here?"

Jisoo smilingly says: "As you know, every year, the vegetables for my family's Lunar New Year Eve's dinner are from your family's farm. So how come this year you are not willing to provide?"
