Chapter 140: Chapter 139

On Eun Myungmyung’s visit, Kang Hyuk put the basket down next to him and bowed as Eun Myungmyung was his superior.

“Mr. Superintendent.”

Kang Hyuk spoke.

“But what brings you here?”

“I’m here to see this place for myself, and ask you for cooperation.”

“What kind of cooperation are you referring to?”

“Teacher Kang, have you ever heard of the Hwachun Academy Faculty Semester End Party?”

Kang Hyuk nodded. Although he was working here first time this year, he knew very well about the Semester End Party as Clan Leader always attended the event and thanked the Teachers for their hard work during the season.

“The only place in this Academy where all the Teachers can get together for a Semester End Party is either at the cafeteria or at the training ground. We used to party there, but frankly, the place isn’t much to look at.”

That was exactly what Kang Hyuk thought when he was a Clan Leader and attended the Semester End Party. Kang Hyuk seemed to know what Eun Myungmyung wanted to say, but he listened quietly.

“So, I was thinking maybe if we can use Yeonkyo Garden for the party. What do you say?”

It was as Kang Hyuk expected.

“It’s certainly possible, but why would you want to use this place?”

“No special reason. It’s Just beautiful here, is all.”

Kang Hyuk nodded. Kang Hyuk, Chun Hakwang, and Baek Kap’s effort was worth it after all. This place was as beautiful than any other garden.

“And that pond going to be finished soon, isn’t it?”

Eun Myungmyung asked, pointing to a pond under construction, and Kang Hyuk nodded.

“It’s expected to be completed in about three days.”

“Then I see no problem. The workers will take care of things like tables and food, but if you’re thinking of decorating something more, you can charge to the Academy.”

“Sure.”

“I’ll leave you to it, then.”

Kang Hyuk bid farewell to Eun Myungmyung, and brightened his eyes.

“Semester End Party…….”

First of all, Kang Hyuk liked that Eun Myungmyung came to ask for permission to use Yeonkyo Garden as the venue for the Semester End Party. If he had tried to use Yeonkyo Garden without his permission, he would not have let it slide easily. Eun Myungmyung was a good thinker.

“Shall I give some effort, then?”

He wanted to surprise all the Teachers since Yeonkyo Garden became the venue for the Semester End Party. But before that, he had to take the collected Ten Thousand Years Rose to Hong Ruiger.

‘While I’m there, maybe I should ask him for some advice?’

Holding a basket, Kang Hyuk headed to Miho Cosmetics, Hong Ruiger’s shop in Middle Town.

Meanwhile, Eun Myungmyung, who was told by Kang Hyuk that Yeonkyo Garden could be used as a venue for the Semester End Party, decided to take a closer look at Yeonkyo Garden. He had never thought that this place, which had been abandoned by the Screaming Plant, would become such a beautiful garden before. Although he felt bit shame for large land like this to be used as garden, it was decided to be used as a horticultural practice site and the permission was given by him so there was no point of regretting it.

Slowly looking around Yeonkyo Garden, he approached the pond’s construction site. A worker was working hard to build a pond, and the shovel he was holding in his hand seemed unusual.

‘You don’t think? That shovel… Is it made of cold steel?’

But he laughed at himself because he thought that was impossible.

‘Cold steel is precious metal! No one would think of making a shovel out of it! Hahaha! I am such a fool!’

At that time the worker who was working in the pond raised his head and bowed his head, perhaps feeling Eun Myungmyung’s footsteps. In response, Eun Myungmyung nodded.

“Greetings.”

After a rough tour of Yeonkyo Garden, Eun Myungmyung headed to his office.

“Did you take a look?”

At the entrance of Yeonkyo Garden, Eun Myungmyung’s guard bowed his head. The four man group were waiting there at Eun Myungmyung’s command. In fact, the convoy was of little significance in the Academy as it was safe place. They were only there for Superintendent’s show of authority. That’s why they had no problem with Eun Myungmyung’s order to stand by.

“Yes, Yeonkyo Garden was so beautiful as you all have said. It’s a perfect place for Teacher’s Semester End Party.”

“Are you going back to the office?”

“Yes.”

“We’ll escort you, sir.”

Eun Myungmyung, who was going to the office escorted by the guards, tilted his head.

‘Come to think of it.’

The face of the worker who was making the pond looked familiar.

‘I’ve seen him somewhere. Where’d I see him?’
