My Hidden Omega Is Sweet - Chapter - 3

Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)

“My mother used to like oil painting and she often took me to exhibitions abroad. I have seen other paintings by this artist so the difference was very easily noticed.” Lee Taehyung explained in a very brief way.

As a matter of fact, the real version of this painting Rose was already purchased by the Lee Family eight years ago. It had been hung in the living room of the Lee Family ever since. Mother Lee had always been interested in Priam’s paintings so she had many paintings by Priam at home as collections. Ming Zongyuan had been to the Lee Family as a fellow painting hobbyist and that was where he saw the real version of this painting. Ming Zongyuan could not help but throw a few more glances at the Omega who was standing to the side with his luggage when he heard that he spotted the forgery first.

Ming Zongyuan

“You can see it clearly, little Omega. Although it is a forgery, the painter did make it look like an authentic one. I would not have been able to tell the difference within such a short time if I had not seen the authentic one first.”

Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)

smiled, “Just a coincidence.”

It was just a coincidence that he had also seen the authentic version before as well.

Jeon Yoongi (A)

“Ji-hyo, you are just being so careless. How could you make such a mistake upon this important event. If Taehyung had not noticed that it is a forgery in time, and the painting had been delivered to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson tomorrow, Jeon’s Enterprise would have lost a great deal!”

Han Ji-hyo (O)

“I... I didn’t expect that either, the middle man guaranteed that it was an authentic painting!” Han Ji-hyo looked guilty and muttered with explanation.

Jeon Jungkook (E)

Jeon Jungkook glanced at his assistant park sung-hoon . “Go and call the lawyer and find the middle agent and the auctioneer. They must pay back what we have lost. That is your job, do not leave it to anyone else.”

This command was directed towards park sung-hoon and also towards Han Ji-hyo as well.

Park sung-hoon (JK'S Assistant)

Nodded “Yes, Boss. I am on it.”

Jeon Yoongi (A)

“Brother, let Ji-hyo and myself go together. Park sung-hoon has to host the meeting in the afternoon.”

Since the painting was a forgery, he had to call Kim Taehyung dad according to the bet they had set up just now. So he must take off as soon as possible. Han Ji-hyo glared at Lee Taehyung next to her. She had planned to punish him so she could be thrown out of Landscape Villa completely, but what she had not expected was that not only Kim Taehyung was not set up, she had lost her credit instead.

Jeon Jungkook (E)

Jeon Jungkook poured a cup of tea for Ming Zongyuan in person. “Mr. Ming, this is an emergency for us. We are in desperate need of a painting by Priam, so could you please... spare one for us?”

Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson were deeply interested in Priam’s paintings, yet they were unable to find an authentic painting by Priam at such a short notice. Mr. Ming had many collections by Priam. As long as he could spare one painting for them, the emergency would be solved.

Ming Zongyuan

“Definitely not! They are all of my precious treasures and I will not spare any no matter how much you try to pay me.”

Ming Zongyuan instantly took off without bothering to drink the tea when he heard that he wanted to get a piece of treasure from him. Jeon Jungkook was very aware that it was impossible to make Ming Zongyuan change his mind so quickly. So he stopped asking him.

Jeon Jungkook (E)

“Park sung-hoon, see Mr. Ming off.”

After Ming Zongyuan left, Jeon Jungkook looked at Lee Taehyung with a look of surveying. After a moment, Jeon Jungkook said slowly .

Jeon Jungkook (E)

“You are right about the painting, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can stay here.”

Lee/Kim Taehyung (O)

Instantly, “I get it. I will leave this place right now and I will never show up in front of you again .”

Jeon Jungkook (E)

“...”

Jinxiu Compound.

Jinxiu Compound belonged to the Jeon Family, and it had always been vacant. After Lee Taehyung moved out, he lived in Jinxiu Compound for the time being. It was a new apartment, not as luxurious as Landscape Villa. But it was well-decorated and the necessities for daily life are available. Lee Taehyung cleaned the room, unpacked his luggage and rushed into the shower. he removed the make-up that made him look so old and changed into a T-shirt and a pair of jeans.

After taking a rest at the new apartment for a while, he changed his wavy styled hair into a straight style. Then he went out to buy some daily clothes and necessities. After shopping and returning home, he received a call from Old Lady, who asked him for a favor from Ming Zongyuan whom he met the other day.

*****

At the headquarters building of Jeon’s Enterprise.

The Deputy President Jeon Yoongi had just accompanied Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson to their hotel and he was very anxious as he came back to the company.

Jeon Yoongi (A)

“This couple is so difficult to deal with. We have made the biggest compromise! What more do they want?”

Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson arrived in the country the day before and the meeting had been going on for two days, yet the collaboration was still not yet confirmed. This was a deal worth tens of billions of yuan and it would have a great deal to do with the expansion of Jeon’s Enterprise in the S Land. The loss would be tremendous if the deal was off.

Jeon Jungkook (E)

“Still didn’t work out with Mr. Ming?” Jeon Jungkook looked extremely displeased.

Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson asked about a painting by Priam, and apparently, that was the key to this entire matter.

Jeon Yoongi (A)

Sighed anxiously, “That old dude is as stubborn as a rock! I almost kneeled down to kowtow to him! But he still does not want to spare a painting.”

Jeon Jungkook (E)

Jeon Jungkook Pinched his eyebrows. “Prepare some first-rate tea. I will visit him tomorrow.”

Jeon’s Enterprise had been preparing for the collaboration with the Wilson Group for a long time and nothing must go wrong.

Jeon Yoongi (A)

“I don’t think he will spare us a painting, even if you call him Dad.”

The two were in the middle of sinking into anxiety when Han Ji-hyo suddenly came up to them.

Han Ji-hyo (O)

“President Jeon, Mr. Ming has been persuaded.”

Jeon Yoongi (A)

Stood up excitedly “Really?”

Han Ji-hyo (O)

Nodded with a smile. “Mr. Ming agrees to spare one painting by Priam and he even invited Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson to have a visit to his villa tomorrow for a look at his personal collection.”

Jeon Jungkook’s expression relaxed as he nodded.

Jeon Jungkook (E)

“You can go back to rest, the meeting will be tomorrow afternoon.”

Han Ji-hyo must have spent a great deal of time with Mr. Ming so that she looked quite tired with black rings emerging under her eyes.

Han Ji-hyo (O)

“I will keep you company tomorrow. Mrs. Wilson would need a girl to keep her company when you men are talking business.”

Jeon Jungkook (E)

Thought for a second. “Go home and rest today, we will need you again tomorrow.”

Han Ji-hyo smiled brightly and left the office of the President. Jeon Yoongi felt his chin and mumbled curiously,

Jeon Yoongi (A)

“How on earth did she manage to persuade that old dude? He was so stubborn with us!”

He had been to the Ming Family several times these past two days and he had said whatever he could just to persuade Ming Zongyuan to spare one painting. Yet he failed each time. Ji-hyo was indeed a professional PR manager who was able to deal with such a difficult man.

On the afternoon of the following day, Jeon Jungkook accompanied Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson to Ming Zongyuan’s house for a visit. Ming Zongyuan was a significant figure in the art field of the Hua Land, and in common with Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson, he was also a fan of Priam. They had a very nice conversation and he had not only given one painting by Priam to the couple, but also invited them to have an afternoon tea at the Ming Family’s house.

Mrs. Wilson spoke highly of the desert the Ming Family prepared for her and when she was about to leave, she brought with her a piece back to the hotel. For the whole time, until the evening when Mr. Wilson got into the car, he spoke in Chinese that was barely up to standard.

Unimportant

Mr. Wilson : “Mr. Fu, we got... way too many surprises today and I hope that we can have a pleasant collaboration together.”

Jeon Jungkook (E)

“I do look forward to our collaboration.” Jeon Jungkook said with a light smile.

Unimportant

Mr. Wilson : He shook hands with Jeon Jungkook “Also, the dessert is very tasty, my wife loves it.”

Jeon Jungkook (E)

“Then see you again tomorrow.”

Jeon Jungkook shook hands with him and left after they both went into the car.

Jeon Yoongi, on the other hand, was so disappointed when he saw that Mr. Wilson’s assistant took away half a piece of the cake. It was way too delicious for him who had a sweet tooth. He had planned to get the dessert for himself after the meeting, but Mrs. Wilson was one step ahead of him. That made his heart ache.

Seeing the couple’s car going away, Han Ji-hyo said with a smile .

Han Ji-hyo (O)

“Judging from what Mr. Wilson said just now, the deal should be on?”

Jeon Yoongi (A)

“They have taken our painting and our food! Of course it has to work!” Jeon Yoongi snorted.

Jeon Jungkook (E)

Jeon Jungkook threw a side look at Han Ji-hyo. “You did well today.”

Han Ji-hyo (O)

Han Ji-hyo smiled sweetly. “I caused all the trouble, and I am just making it up to you.”

Jeon Jungkook (E)

“You have been working very hard these two days so feel free to take a few days off.”

The PR Department did not have to be involved when it came to the collaboration meeting that was going to happen later on.

Han Ji-hyo (O)

“I can take the holiday after the signing is done. I may need to take care of Mrs. Wilson in the later processes.”

She had established a proper image in front of Jeon Jungkook today and she must take this opportunity to propel their relationship. Mrs. Jeon adored her, and as long as she could, she would always make an effort on her relationship with Jeon Jungkook. She was definitely going to be Mrs. Jeon. It was a good that the stupid Kim Taehyung had discovered the forgery and stopped the embarrassment in time, so that she ended up persuading Mr. Ming to spare a painting and arranging the afternoon tea for them. In this way, she got all the credit and created an excellent impression upon Jeon Jungkook.

Jeon Jungkook (E)

Nodded “Very well.”

Jeon Jungkook (E)

Threw a side look at Jeon Yoongi. “Have you got the things for Mr. Ming prepared?”

Jeon Yoongi (A)

“Of course.”

Jeon Yoongi took out the antique from his car and followed his brother into the Ming Family’s house to express their gratitude. In the Chinese-style garden in the Ming Family’s villa, the group found the old man who was feeding the fish.

Jeon Jungkook (E)

“Mr. Ming, we are very thankful for what you have done for us. Please accept our gift.” “The couple changed their attitude tremendously after they saw your painting and ate your cake.”

Jeon Yoongi was very excited. The collaboration would make sure that the Jeon’s Enterprise could find a position in S Land and it was very important for them. Ming Zongyuan fed the fish, rubbed the hands and said .

Ming Zongyuan

“No need for the present. Kim Omega has already given me the thank you gift and he delivered the cake too. You should thank him instead.”

Jeon Jungkook (E)

Jeon Jungkook Squinted “Did you mean... Kim Taehyung?”
