Please, Confess to Me

Chapter 26 : Something to Tell

Kim Company Building at 10:00 a.m., the workaholic Minji heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." Minji casually responded.

Hyein pushed the door and entered the room. She approached Minji's desk and quietly waited until Minji finished signing the document.

"Boss, I've found the person you asked me to check last night." Hyein handed her the investigation report. "One of these two people is Lee Wonhee, the youngest daughter of Seoul's Vice-Mayor. The other is Noh Yunah, daughter of the Wood Stone Properties owner."

"Wood Stone Properties?" Minji frowned. "What's Wood Stone?"

"Wood Stone Properties is a company established in the past two years. It was only a construction team before. Yunah wasn't really qualified to attend the Star River Charity Banquet, but she was good at flattering, and she happened to be a college classmate of Wonhee. She must have heard that Wonhee was going to attend and asked Wonhee to take her along." Hyein explained.

Minji knocked her desk with her fingers, her eyes on the report in front of her. She looked at the two girls' pictures back and forth, then asked, "How is Wood Stone Properties doing?"

"The company was just established, so their operations and management aren't quite there yet." Hyein said. "The boss of Wood Stone Properties was a contractor before. He caught up with the real estate boom that happened in recent years and suddenly shot up in wealth. He made a lot of money, but he often deducted the wages of his migrant workers, so his reputation isn't very good."

Minji frowned, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. "What's their current project?"

"They bought a piece of land by getting a bank loan a year ago. They're planning to develop it into commercial housing."

"Let's talk with the relevant departments. Make sure they carefully monitor this Wood Stone Properties project." Minji said.

"Understood." Hyein nodded her head and smiled. "I'll be sure to tell them to carefully check if Wood Stone Properties is fully conforming to regulation. If they intend to deforest one square meter of greenery, we must make sure they cut down 1.1 meters."

If this commercial housing project really was following the standards set by the state, then several house suites would be lost as a certain percent of greenery had to be preserved in the land. A loss of a single suite would cost millions according to the current house prices in Seoul, let alone several suites. The building materials also needed to be carefully inspected to make sure no corners were being cut.

Due to this strict review, the construction time was bound to get extended. That's money spent every day. Moreover, Wood Stone Properties was a small and newly established company. They would definitely cry over their bank loan interest alone. If the construction time was lengthened and the houses ended up not selling well, then Wood Stone Properties' chain of funds would be broken in minutes.

Hyein felt that her boss was a bit too ruthless. Noh Yunah, this little girl, probably would've never imagined that after one casual remark about Hanni, Yunah would end up making the entire family suffer such a great loss.

"The Vice-Mayor's daughter..." Minji pondered for a moment, then said, "Is the Vice-Mayor looking at Seoul's change of term next year?"

"Yes, Vice-Mayor Lee is a popular candidate for the next mayor." Hyein replied.

"Does Wonhee like wearing fur?" Minji remembered Wonhee wearing fur at the banquet last night.

"Yes, but it's all said to be artificial fur." Hyein replied.

"Find some evidence and send it to the Animal Protection Association." After saying this, Minji closed the investigation report and put it aside.

"Understood."
