On the other side of the city, Yn's friends and family were having a party of their own.
In the basement workroom, Jackson and Jungkook were glued to the computer screen. They were watching Chui Corps' stock numbers.
The lower the numbers fell, the higher their mood became. "Let's make a bet to see whether Chui Ming will announce bankruptcy tomorrow," Jackson suggested excitedly.
Jungkook smirked. "I'd rather he declare himself bankrupt today!"
"Brother Jungkook, don't you worry. Based on how things are looking, it'll definitely happen today or tomorrow. Who would have known Chui Ming's comeuppance (a punishment or fate that someone deserves) would arrive so fast?"
Jungkook nodded solemnly. "You're right. I certainly didn't see it coming so fast and hard."
"Let's go for a grand meal later to celebrate!" Jackson proposed happily. Jungkook was quick to agree. "That sounds like a wonderful idea."
Yn who had been working on her computer silently rejected it, "No, it's still too early to celebrate."
"Why?" Jackson queried, "Sis, even if Chui Corps could somehow miraculously survive this, its life will be hanging on a thread. Furthermore, we did sign the partnership with kim Empire today. That's cause for celebration."
Yn turned to look at them. "You two think we're in a comfortably good position now?"
Jackson and Jungkook stared at one another, confused by her words. "Sis, are you not happy about this?" Jackson asked.
Yn's face was grim. "Of course I'm happy about Chui Corps' quick downfall but I cautioned myself not to be too happy. Never celebrate a premature victory!"
"Why would you say that?" It was Jungkook who posed the question this time.
Yn explained softly, "Because too much of anything is bad for you, happiness included as it begets carelessness. We've not removed the root of our problem yet so we can't afford to be careless especially not now."
