Chapter 1411. Closure (1)
Yi Jong-Wuk sighed under his breath.
“Sir, let me remind you again that what you’re asking me to do is not something I can help you with.”
—But you are the only one on our side who can do this.
“Sir, it’s not the case of me being the only one, but more like even I can’t do this. I’ll be honest, sir. How do you expect me to bring this up with those people? It’s not like I’m their long-time friend or something.”
—But you must do it for us.
Yi Jong-Wuk’s expression crumpled as he gripped the steering wheel tightly. What was this? Was he speaking to a bloody parrot or something?

“What about the vice directors, then? Are they doing nothing but sucking on their fingers in their fancy offices? Worse still, I’m a part of the overseas department, sir, not domestic.”
—Now is not the time to split hairs like that, Mister Yi! Don’t you understand why I’m pleading with you like this? Look, I also don’t want to do this, but we don’t have any other avenue of communication besides you, okay? If I could have resolved this myself, I would have! Instead of begging a fresh-faced junior like you!
“Hah...”
