Around noon, Jisoo and Taehyung sat down at a small restaurant near the newer production base to have lunch.

The owner of the restaurant served them a small steaming hot pot, which smelled spicy and delicious. But no food, no matter how good, could cure the cold and foreboding expression on Taehyung’s face. He sat up straight like a military man, eating quickly and quietly.

Jisoo concentrated on eating too, trying to look humble and hide most of her presence.

With a clang, the restaurant door opened again. Jisoo heard the owner ask, “How many?”

Soon, Jimin, dressed in a suit, sat down with them, throwing his car keys on the table.

“Hello, Mr. Park,” said Jisoo immediately. She then asked the owner to bring another set of plates and chopsticks for him.

Taehyung looked up at him briefly and then continued to have his lunch.

Jisoo hadn’t had any friendly experiences with Gu Yanzhi in a normal situation before this. She saw that he could be very easy going. He took a pair of disposable wooden chopsticks from the restaurant owner and rubbed them together. He then asked Jisoo for a cup of hot water and started eating.

After a few bites, he put his chopsticks down and asked Taehyung, “How was your morning?”

Jisoo also stopped eating and looked at Taehyung.

Having already finished his lunch, he was sipping water, his head slightly bent. “As bad as I thought it would be,” he replied.

Jimin nodded. “I’ve arranged a two o’clock meeting for this afternoon. As we talked about yesterday, all the vice presidents and the important department heads will join us for a meeting on our future work priorities.”

“Mmm,” Taehyung replied.

Jisoo felt her heart skip a beat. Mr Kim can finally start working and get to the real point of his position.

As if guessing what she was thinking, Mr Park suddenly turned to look at her and asked evenly, “I heard that you suggested Mr. kim’s next priority should be finding a turning point and making a comeback’?”

Jisoo hesitated for a second and was about to answer yes, but suddenly paused.

Did Mr Kim tell Mr Park everything I said the other day?

Jisoo blushed without speaking.

Her bold statements like “I’d like to be your adjutant” and “this side of me is the true me” had been spoken naturally in front of Mr Kim. But to someone else besides her boss, Jisoo was a little embarrassed. Even worse, it was Mr Park, a long-time member of the business world.

She looked up and saw a faint but meaningful smile on Mr Park’s face. She even detected a hint of a smile from Mr Kim, who was sitting quietly.

After a moment of silence, Jisoo spoke up with a smile, as if nothing had occurred in her thoughts. “Yes, that’s what I think. I hope Layover can improve.”

That answer wasn’t enough for Jimin. He quickly asked again, “Oh, is it? Since you’ve come up with such an interesting idea, could you tell me what turning point you’re referring to? I don’t want a generalized statement. What I need is a real solution and plan.”

Jisoo kept quiet for a moment.

In all honesty, when she had expressed her loyalty to Taehyung the other day, she had indeed kept some things to herself. Like Mr Park said, she had only given Mr Kim a vague idea, not an actual solution. At the time, she wasn’t sure if she would get the position of CEO assistant. It would have been too hasty for her to suggest the solution then. Besides, it was a plan full of risks.
