Chapter 261 – Those Two Are Quite Beautiful, Too. Right?
“Thank you for your hard work~!”
Braided!
After the performance, go to the large restaurant on the second floor of the hotel.
It was late in the evening, but I clinked glasses with the kids at the dinner buffet that the hotel had prepared specially for us and the other participants.
“Ah, good, this is delicious. “It has a strong apple scent.”
“Wow, that’s refreshing… Do you have any beer?”
“No, refrain from drinking in places like this.”
Anyway, the idea of an idol drinking a beer and saying, “Kya,” Is a bit off-putting in terms of image.
… Is not it? Would you rather lift an advertisement?
“You already drank it, right?”
“Uh? Was this alcohol?”
It was only after Soye pointed out that I realized that the thing I had just squeezed was apple-flavored champagne.
Considering that it barely smells of alcohol, the alcohol content is less than 1-3%, so it would be shameful to even call it alcohol.
“It’s delicious…”
I feel anxious about feeding Minji.
“Now, Minji, put that glass down and drink Zero Coke here.”
“Hey… Zero Cola is bland…”
The complaining Minji was forced to hold a glass of Zero Coke.
Now, before you get drunk, you need to quickly neutralize it with something else.
“Everyone, please sit down. I’ll scoop up some more. “Is there anything you want to eat?”
“I have fried shrimp.”
“Please bring some meat.”
“I… Start with bread…”
“Okay, let’s start with fried shrimp, meat, and bread.”
I think I’ll leave the kids to eat in peace and try to shuttle food for a bit.
I’ve already decided to serve the kids one evening after the performance, so let’s start now.
“Manager Lee.”
After scooping up the food and returning to my seat, Yoo Ga-hye suddenly called me out.
“Oh, Chief Secretary. Thank you for your hard work today.”
“Would you like to come this way? “The representative is calling.”
“Oh, then I’ll just bring the bowl and leave.”
“Please take the dishes with you. “I think you have a lot to talk about.”
Ugh, it seems like the volunteer work ends before it even starts.

What is important in improving your skills is the wrong answer notes.
This doesn’t just apply to school studies.
Even in work life, incorrect answer notes are very important.
How did you fail and what can you learn from that failure?
You need to check that thoroughly and avoid making mistakes again to increase your chances of success next time.
Only honors students who faithfully write incorrect answer notes can achieve long runs and stand out in the workplace.
In that sense, Isara was an honor student.
This performance, she wanted to find out exactly why Honey Girls lost to The Queens again.
Of course, you know it yourself, but just in case, shouldn’t you listen to other people’s opinions?
In that sense, Se-jin Lee was essential in creating a note for incorrect answers.
“Hey, this manager. Welcome~”
When Lee Se-jin arrived with Yoo Ga-hye, Lee Sa-ra welcomed him with a playful voice.
“You called me?”
“Huh! “I wanted to talk about some things related to today’s performance.”
“Then manager, please eat this. “I will scoop it up again.”
With those words, Yoo Ga-hye sits Lee Se-jin down and leaves.
Lee Se-jin remained alone with Isara and watched her for a moment, then she sat down hesitantly.
“It’s nothing else, but Honey Girls lost again at this performance, right?”
“You lost?”
“Are these words a little strange? What can I say, it was a little unreliable? Was it not that good? Didn’t get a response? Anyway, compared to The Queens, the response wasn’t as good, right?”
“Well… From what I could see, it seemed like the audience enjoyed it quite well.”
“Hey, this manager, don’t act too nice. “It’s okay to be honest.”
After saying that, Isara continued her conversation without waiting for Lee Se-jin to respond.
“Anyway, for that reason! I want to hold a reflection meeting to see where the Honey Girls fell short. “I need to figure that out so I can create a better stage next time.”
“Yeah…”
Lee Se-jin answers in a slightly ambiguous voice.
Isara slightly leaned towards him.
“So, tell me honestly. “What seemed lacking, what could be done better, and…”
Isara pauses for a moment to emphasize her next words.
“How the Queens kids were raised and what orders they were given, exactly everything.”
Isara’s eyes were shining fiercely as she asked that question.
***
I didn’t like the CEO’s words for several reasons.
First of all, Honey Girls’ performance was a failure.
It is true that the audience’s response was less than that of The Queens, but that was unavoidable.
These were the fans who came to see our kids in the first place, but there was no way they would easily respond to other groups, and Honey Girls’ participation was a bit sudden.
‘Considering all that, I honestly think you did a good job.’
Nevertheless, people responded reasonably well, and the performance was good when seen backstage.
Even though it looked a bit mechanical and stiff, the quality of the stage was good.
‘And what? Command?’
The second thing I didn’t like was this.
By order, I mean I didn’t really give any orders to my kids.
The kids gave a performance that came from their hearts, and they didn’t do anything like you.
… I want to shoot you, but you’d better be careful.
“Okay, then I’ll try my best to explain what I’ve realized.”
In the end, there is only one method of resistance left to me, a passive one.
All you have to do is tell this person what the real reason is and make him or her realize that he or she is wrong.
“Yes, please.”
Representative Lee also took out a notepad and a pen to see what I was saying, as if he had any intention of listening properly.
It feels like he’s giving a lecture or something.
“First of all, what I think Honey Girls lack is…”
“Huh.”
“… Doesn’t exist.”
“Yes?”
Isara’s expression twisted slightly at my words.

“Oppa… What are you doing…? “Mumble…”
When Shin So-ye scooped up the plate and put it down, Min-ji Park immediately grabbed a piece of mini pork cutlet and ate it, asking.
“I was talking with the CEO and the chief secretary.”
“What, are we caught in the wind again?”
Im Ha-eun spoke in her playful voice and Shin So-ye nodded her head.
“Maybe something like that?”
“Oh, no… I’m just kidding, sister. “The CEO must have called Sejin.”
It was the day I performed with Honey Girls, who are already on a roll these days.
Regarding that, the CEO could ask Lee Se-jin various things, which the three women were able to fully guess.
“Sister, don’t you like something…?”
“That is…”
Shin So-ye, who hesitated for a moment about her words, looked at the seats next to the CEO and Lee Se-jin again and spoke.
“Those two are quite beautiful, too. Right?”
“The CEO and the Chief Secretary?”
“Huh.”
Shin So-ye simply nods her head but keeps her gaze focused on the representative’s seat.
“That just bothers me for no reason.”
She just answered and watched Lee Se-jin and the CEO chatting.

How much noise was there?
She was absorbed for a while and lectured (?) To the representative.
How did we raise our children to produce such a great performance, what was important and said right before this performance, and what Honey Girls need from now on…
I did my best to the best of my ability and passed on all my know-how and knowledge.
Jump, jump, jump.
I guess I really talked a lot.
The water tastes so sweet.
I immediately poured a shot of cool water and then took a quick look around.
And from my kids’ table, I could see Soye looking at me fiercely.
‘What are you waiting for me?’
Looking around, I saw empty tables here and there.
〉 Me: Soyeya
〉 Me: Take the kids up and rest.
〉 Me: I don’t know when the conversation will end
〉 Me: Sorry
I secretly watched the CEO’s thoughts and sent a message to Soye via Talk.
〉 Shin So-ye: Okay, Sejin.
〉 Shin So-ye: But I’m just saying this out of curiosity.
〉 Me: Huh?
〉 Shin So-ye: Can’t it be increased further?
I looked towards Soye to see what was going on, and I saw Soye wink lightly and get up from her seat so that no one could see.
No, what does it mean?
“Uh… Okay.”
Hearing the CEO’s voice sound like he was displeased with something, he put his cell phone back in his pocket.
“So, if you sum up what you said… Is that it? “You did your best?”
I’ve talked about so much, but to summarize it so simply, it’s exhausting.
“No, rather than that, I meant that if you prioritize the children’s motivation and make them willing and able to do well, they will do well.”
“That’s it. I worked hard and did my best to do my best.”
The most important thing was highlighted again, but the representative pointed out that he was dissatisfied.
“Manager Lee, there are two words I don’t like. Do you know what they are?”
“Which one is it?”
“That’s the first one. I got 100 points just by reading the textbook. “The saying that there is a standard and if you just follow that standard, the results will follow is a complete lie.”
No, if you work hard, you will be guaranteed a score of 70 to 80.
“But the thing I hate more than that is… I meant it with all my heart.”
“…Yes?”
“I did my best with sincerity and got good results. Does that make sense? “Manager Lee, you know this well because you have worked on this floor, but sincerity and results have surprisingly little to do with each other.”
Isara sat down with her arms crossed and her legs crossed, as if something didn’t sit right with her.
“Whether I make a promise sincerely or a lie, as long as I keep it, the result is the same, right?”
“That’s right…”
“To begin with, being an idol is a business of lies, right? This is a business that pretends to love its fans and sells that false affection. But what happens when you do your best and get good results? “Those feelings have no meaning.”
“I guess that’s not a good idea.”
Isara’s eyebrows twitched at my words.
