Mr. Tycoon's Woman||PJ&RP ✔️

Chapter 82: Who Told Him?

Jeong Jaehyun's biggest mistake was following his manhood instead of his brain. When he broke off his engagement, he should have tried to remain in a platonic relationship with Rosè Yang whose capabilities was able to lift the company far beyond anyone's wildest expectations.

Ever since she had secretly helped him, the company's stock had doubled and the annual profit increased by at least 200%.

But instead of treating her well, he had let his ego take over by wanting to show his useless fiancee that he can break off his engagement for her.

Park Jimin stood up to leave by in a rush, Jeong Jaehyun stopped in his path. "I will do better. Please think about it again, Park Jimin. This is a really important project to my company-"

"And why should that concern me?" Park Jimin raised a perfect blow, his face disinterested.

"Park Jimin, please." Jeong Jaehyun whispered, his face paling in fear. He was growing very desperate. This was his first ever personally drafted proposal. If it was rejected by two major companies, the media would make a laughing stock out of him!

"Please consider the years that we've known each other—"

"The proposal has already been rejected. Don't beg and grovel, it's pathetic." Park Jimin loudly said, his words a slap to Jeong Jaehyun's face.

Jeong Jaehyun flinched, as if he had been visibly hit by Park Jimin. With all of his personal team present in the room, it was humiliating for Park Jimin to utter his actions so loudly. It was one thing to be insulted by someone like Park Jimin, but to be insulted in front of your employees was something else...This was simply too embarrassing for Jeonv Jaehyun.

On top of it, Park Jimin's employees were also present. They weren't scared of snickering and talking bad behind Jeong Jaehyun's back. Once, his incompetence and failure leaks into the media, his reputation would be tarnished. To beg like this, what a shameless man!

"Do more research the next time you try to contact me." Park Jimin didn't look back when he walked out of the door followed by his people. Kim Namjoon stayed behind, as usual, to remind them about CEO Park's regulations.

"Mr. Jeong, following Park Enterprise's protocol, once a proposal has been rejected by our CEO, there is no second chances for it. However, you are free to submit another idea." Kim Namjoon briskly said, his face aloof and stoic. He stood tall like an unwavering tree bracing an icy storm.

"There are no second chances for other companies, but our CEO is not just from a simple company!" Kimberly sniped at her half-brother, hating how indifferent he was acting despite the fact that she shared half of his blood. How could he not even greet or acknowledge her presence?

"This is Jeong Jaehyun you're talking about. Show some respect—"

"With all due respect, why is a secretary attempting to argue with company policy? It's not my problem you can't read the protocol." Kim Namjoon was not fazed at the idea of insulting the woman he had grown up with. His work has even taken precedence over his own wife and perhaps that was why people thought of him as an unbudging Ice King.

"How much?" Jeong Jaehyun seethed, his nails digging into his skin so tightly that his skin was beginning to turn pale at the harsh impact.

"Pardon?" Kim Namjoon could feel the temperature dim as the warmth dispersed.

Most people would've cowered back in fear upon facing a rage-filled Jeong Jaehyun. He had heard multiple accounts of employees that were bullied to tears when facing his fury. However, being Park Jimin's secretary for years had exposed him to rage that was far more terrifying than his.

"How much will it cost for you to place the proposal onto his desk again?" Jeong Jaehyun was unwilling to part with the proposal because it was something that he has spent his blood, sweat, and tears into drafting.

He couldn't believe that after all their research, he forgot the most crucial detail about Incheon. The waters were recently tested to be severely polluted, how could he forget such a simple detail?!

He comforted himself with the belief that changing the city would change Park Jimin's mind. He was too stubborn to realize that Park Jimin's words are unchangeable.

"No amount of money can buy my loyalty to my boss." Kim Namjoon disdainfully said, sizing Jeong Jaehyun up and down. He could not help but wonder why his boss would fall for a woman who had once fallen in love with this kind of man. What does it say about her taste? And his boss's preference?!

Kimberly handed over Jeong Jaehyun's checkbook and he wrote down a check for ten million. He waved it in front of kim Namjoon who seemed unfazed by the seven zeros.

"Ten million."

Kim Namjoon turned on his heels and was about to open the door when Kimberly stepped in front of it, blocking the exit.

"Twenty million." Jeong Jaehyun doubled the amount without hesitation. Ten million or twenty million meant nothing to him because if the proposal gets approved, Jeong Corps would be raking in at least a few billion annually!

"Tell your secretary to step aside or else brute force would have to be used." Kim Namjoon glanced down at the petite woman in front of him.

Kimberly felt her back stiffen and her body clenched in fear when she looked into her older half-brother's lifeless eyes. She was reminded of his capabilities. She remembered when they were children and he was practicing martial arts. Kim Namjoon at the age of five had tossed a man six times his age and ten times his build onto the ground without breaking a sweat.
