Private Secretary Episode 73

Yang Secretary showed Cha Secretary, who had just joined the company, the campaign and advertisements they had conducted back then.

The campaign video conducted for Hogan’s baseball fans received great response and had already achieved 30 million views on YouTube.

Middle-aged and elderly baseball fans selected for outstanding stories were given new electric cars, resulting in heartwarming review comments.

When the related advertisement video played, the screen showed a family enjoying themselves in front of the first car produced by Hogan Motors.

The son who got in the car looked at the rapidly passing scenery outside, and what was reflected in his eyes was the turbulent history of South Korea.

From the world sports event held in 1988 to recent times, various events that filled all citizens with joy passed by.

After the history of South Korea and Hogan Motors quickly passed by like a panorama, now.

The one driving the newly released electric car is that young son who had been sitting in the back seat.

Now behind him sit his aged father and a child like a sprout that will grow in the future.

With the rear view of the new car speeding down the vast road as the finale, the Hogan Motors logo appeared on screen.

“It definitely has impact.”

“Right? It didn’t win an award for nothing. Now let’s hurry up and pack. We don’t want to get scolded on a good day.”

“Yes. I also don’t want to get scolded by the Department Head, no, the Vice President. I really want to stop getting scolded now, sigh.”

“That’s why Kang Woo needs to do well. This might sound a bit harsh, but do you know how well the secretary before Kang Woo did? Right now the Vice President is being very lenient with Cha Secretary.”

As if those words weren’t much comfort, Cha Secretary just let his shoulders droop.

Even so, he dejectedly kept being conscious of Tae-san who would be beyond the office.

Meanwhile, Tae-san who entered the office immediately picked up his phone. The person he called was naturally,

“Seol.”

Lee Seol.

[Did the New Year ceremony go well? You did well with the representative speech for the promoted employees too, right?]

“How nice it would have been if you were there with me. I wanted to receive congratulations directly from you.”

[That’s why we agreed to meet later today.]

“I want to see you right now.”

[Just endure for a few hours. I’m also barely holding back my desire to see you while studying hard.]

“Alright. See you later. Study hard.”

[Yes. See you later.]

After ending the call, Tae-san looked at Seol smiling brightly in his phone screen with longing eyes, then looked around his desk.

There was too much stuff to pack.

* * *

After ending the call with Tae-san’s warm voice, Seol resumed the video she had paused.

It was none other than the YouTube video of the Otters team’s companionship project that Tae-san had led.

In the comments, fans from all teams had flocked to cheer for the heartwarming video.

This project centered on the stories of elderly people, and the response was hot as there were more touching episodes than expected.

As a result, other teams also began conducting similar projects.

It was a bonus that the sales of the new car released that year doubled compared to the previous model due to this PR.

‘Moreover, the Hogan Otters team’s subscriber count increased by 100,000. It’s a remarkable achievement.’

Tae-san, who led both projects, had his abilities recognized and rose to first place in the succession order, surpassing his other brothers.

That’s why he was able to get promoted to Vice President so quickly.

Seol couldn’t count how many times she had watched the video he planned.

Although Tae-san didn’t appear on screen, she could feel his sweat and blood melted into every part of it.

She had seen him just a few hours ago, yet why did she miss him so much today?

“I miss you, Kang Tae-san.”

Seol murmured softly.

“Now, good morning everyone.”

Just then, the professor entered and Seol immediately closed the video. It was time to focus on studying as a graduate student.

“Seol, we’re going to have a simple dinner, would you like to join us?”

“I’m sorry. I have a prior engagement.”

“That can’t be helped. Then let’s have a meal next time.”

“Yes. I’m sorry. Please enjoy your meal.”

After months of preparation, Seol successfully entered graduate school at the beginning of this year.

The number one contributor to that achievement was undoubtedly Kang Tae-san. Tae-san was even more enthusiastic about her graduate school interview preparation than Seol herself.

As a result of practicing by filling in answers to the preliminary questions Tae-san created and working hard, Seol was able to enter the graduate school she had aimed for.

She had been continuing her graduate school life that started that way for a year now, but studying was still difficult.

If she had majored in advertising and public relations as an undergraduate like others, it wouldn’t have been this hard.

However, there were quite a few people like Seol who came from completely different fields, so they ended up sticking together.

Because there were many working people, classes usually took place in the afternoon. When they started at 6 PM, they often didn’t end until after 10 PM.

Today was a day that started early and ended at 7 PM, so Seol made an appointment for the first time in a while. To eat out for the first time in ages.

After declining the dinner invitation and hurrying out, there was a familiar person standing in front of the building.

“Tae-san.”

When Seol ran over with a bright smile, Tae-san, who had been leaning against the car, approached with a worried expression as if telling her not to run and embraced Seol.

“Did you wait long?”

“No. I just got here.”

Tae-san naturally took Seol’s books and bag for her while opening the passenger door.

“Oh, is that your boyfriend, Seol?”

People from the same cohort who came out after her asked with interested expressions, and Seol stood next to Tae-san with an embarrassed smile.

“Tae-san, these are people from my cohort. They’ve been helping me a lot in various ways.”

“Hello. I’m Lee Seol’s boyfriend, Kang Tae-san.”

“Oh my, I don’t know if I should say this upon first meeting, but you’re really tall and handsome.”

“You could even use him as an advertising model, couldn’t you?”

Even though everyone was chattering away, Tae-san didn’t seem to mind and wore a gentle smile.

“Well then, have a good time. We’ll see you in the next class, Seol.”

“Yes. Get home safely.”

Seol got in the car only after exchanging bright greetings with them.

After getting Seol in first, Tae-san loaded her belongings in the back seat and got in the driver’s seat.

“First, congratulations on becoming Vice President.”

Before Tae-san started the engine, Seol suddenly threw her arms around his neck.

“Thank you.”

“If there hadn’t been other people, I would have hugged you as soon as I saw you.”

“You should have come out alone. What a shame.”

Tae-san laughed as if he found her cute and stroked Seol’s hair.

“Then you must have been very busy today. You would have moved offices too.”

“I was really busy. Even though the secretaries took care of everything, it was still bothersome.”

“But it’s a pleasant kind of bother, right?”

Tae-san grinned and lightly kissed her after entering the destination in the navigation.

“Oh, how is Cha Kang-woo doing these days?”

“Can I be honest?”

“Yes.”

“He’s frustrating. The kid’s work isn’t improving.”

After Seol quit, Tae-san didn’t look for another secretary for a while.

His position was that he would try working with just Yang Secretary, but as Seol became busy with graduate school studies, he eventually hired a new secretary.

“Still, he hasn’t been working for long, so please be a little patient with him.”

“I’ve been patient for months. He just has no sense. He messes up all the schedules you worked hard to organize.”

Even while attending classes and doing assignments, Seol took care of Tae-san’s personal schedule.

She organized things so schedules wouldn’t get tangled, and prepared necessary items for each appointment.

Moreover, since they were living together, Seol prepared the breakfast he would eat after returning from exercise and the clothes he would wear.

But Cha Secretary couldn’t even do the tasks he was assigned properly, so Tae-san’s dissatisfaction only grew.

“It can’t be helped. He’s a friend who just graduated from college. Since it’s his first time in society, he’s still clumsy.”

“If it weren’t for you, I would have fired him long ago.”

“Still, from what I hear, it seems like he’s trying really hard. I wonder if he might be flinching just from you looking at him now.”

“Would he flinch if he did well? He’s probably feeling guilty because he knows he didn’t do a good job.”
