"What's the matter? Why are you here?" Park Jin Hyuk asked.
Han Ji-yeon took off her coat and sat on the sofa.
Feeling that something was wrong, Jin Junyu quickly retreated.
"Tell me, what is going on?" Han Ji-yeon looked at Park Jin-hyuk.
"What's going on?"
"I went to a social gathering this morning and someone said you had a son outside... and that they saw you shopping in a department store with a pregnant woman."
"Oh?" Park Jin Hyuk was a little surprised at first, but then he calmed down. "What else did you say?"
"…..it said that you had an unclear relationship with the DS Group's advertising model."
"Anything else?"
"That's all I've heard."
"Wait a minute..." Park Jin Hyuk called Kim Jun Woo in through the internal phone.
"You just said that there are all kinds of rumors about me circulating outside. What are they?"
Jin Junyu glanced at Han Jiyeon, hesitated and didn't say anything.
Park Jin Hyuk said: "She just said that I had a child outside, saw me with a pregnant woman, and said that I had an affair with the company's advertising model...Apart from these, is there anything else?"
Jin Junyu then said, "They also said you might be gay and have AIDS. Some people also said... some of these things are really hard to say."
"What did you say?" Park Jin Hyuk asked.
"They say there's... infertility."
Jin Junyu knew that homosexuality and AIDS were definitely fictitious, but he had no idea about infertility because he had been married for more than a year and had never heard of his wife being pregnant.
After listening to this, Park Jin Hyuk couldn't help but shook his head.
Jin Junyu quickly said, "I've been trying to quell these rumors, but they seem to be spreading from the upper class, so they're getting more intense."
Han Ji-yeon just said that she heard these rumors at a gathering of wives of political and economic figures.
These rumors are consistent with Park Jin Hyuk's past personality. DS Group is booming, and there are many people who are waiting to see Park Jin Hyuk make a fool of himself out of jealousy.
"Director Jin, we can't just let this go. We have to keep thinking of solutions," said Han Ji-yeon.
"We will continue..."
"Wait..." Park Jin Hyuk interrupted Kim Jun Woo and said slowly, "Don't worry about it."
"Don't care? How can you bear to hear such harsh words?" Han Ji-yeon immediately refused to listen.
Park Jin Hyuk said with a smile: "We can also spread the news to the outside world."
"What news?"
"Just say that the son-in-law went to visit his mother-in-law's house, but his mother-in-law refused to open the door to see me. My wife treats her as her own mother, but she is very mean to Ji-yeon...what else?" Park Jin Hyuk looked at Han Ji-yeon.
"Do you think these words... can have an impact on her?"
"Of course, and the impact will be huge."
"Why?" Han Ji-yeon asked in confusion.
"Although the world has changed, the image of the stepmother remains unchanged in people's minds. Stepmothers are sarcastic and mean, and children don't like such stepmothers. If we hear and see now that the stepmother is still the same stepmother, but the daughter and son-in-law are very filial to her, what will people think? Will they stop believing those rumors?"
Han Ji-yeon nodded slowly, as if she understood something.
Park Jin Hyuk asked Kim Jun Woo, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes, I understand. I'll arrange it right away."
Park Jin Hyuk finally emphasized, "I don't think these rumors will have any impact on me. Of course... I can't slack off. I have to keep paying attention to the other party's movements. Maybe there will be other actions."

The day has arrived to hold Qingyu’s extraordinary shareholders’ meeting.
Park Jin Hyuk's appearance attracted everyone's attention.
He came up to Jin Chengren and greeted him, "President Jin, are you attending the meeting today as a shareholder, or are you attending on behalf of Qingyu?"
Jin Chengren stood up and answered, "I am both a shareholder and a representative of Qingyu."
"I'm the same. I'm a shareholder, but I'm also thinking about Qingyu."
Everyone nearby heard their conversation.
"Vice President Park, let me introduce you. These are the presidents of Qingyu's subsidiaries."
As he spoke, Kim Sung-in introduced the person sitting next to him to Park Jin-hyuk.
After greeting them, Park Jin Hyuk sat down in his seat.
Not long after, the host walked onto the podium.
"Now, the Qingyu Group's Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders officially begins. Welcome all shareholders. Today's meeting was proposed by Mr. Park Jin Hyuk, the agent of Ms. Han Ji Yeon, who holds a 3% stake. The topic is a motion of no confidence in the Qingyu board of directors."
Although everyone had heard of the topic, discussions broke out in the audience after it was officially announced.
"Now, please allow Mr. Park Jin Hyuk to present the topic for this meeting."
Under the gaze of everyone, Park Jin Hyuk walked up to the podium.
"Dear shareholders, first of all, I would like to explain the reasons for this motion of no confidence. As you all know, Qingyu Group is currently facing a severe external environment and internal operational difficulties. Many companies have gradually recovered from the economic recession caused by the Paris flu, and some have even made remarkable progress, such as DS Group, where I work. I won't go into the details; you can tell from the stock price."
As a shareholder, what you care most about is the rise and fall of a company's stock price.
"However, instead of focusing on revitalizing its own business, Qingyu Group is now attempting to invest in and acquire other companies. This decision was made by the Qingyu Group's board of directors, which is why I have decided to submit this motion of no confidence to the board."
After briefly explaining the reasons, Park Jin Hyuk walked down from the podium.
Then, the president of Qingyu Group Securities Company walked up to the podium, and it was obvious that he came prepared.
He first introduced the various businesses Qingyu is carrying out, and then emphasized:
"In order to live up to the expectations of our shareholders, Qingyu Group is working hard to restore various businesses affected by the epidemic. Therefore, it can be said that it is extremely irresponsible for Park Jin Hyuk's agent to propose such a motion."
The president of Qingyu Securities took the lead in launching a counterattack against Park Jin Hyuk.
"I would like to draw the attention of all shareholders to the fact that Park Jin Hyuk's agent's request to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders was not for the benefit of the majority of Qingyu's shareholders, nor for Qingyu itself, but for himself and DS Group."
Then he raised his voice even further.
"Currently, Qingyu is competing with DS for the acquisition of PJ Logistics. Park Jin Hyuk's agent is filing a motion of no confidence against the board of directors at this time. This is clearly an attempt to build momentum for DS Group and defeat Qingyu in the bidding."
People turned their eyes to Park Jin Hyuk and began to talk in low voices.
At this moment, a barely perceptible smile flashed across Li Zhenshu's face.
