Chapter 30

After this round of analysis by Bambam, Lisa realised that she was indeed about to be done for. If the rumours began to take this turn, not only would she offend GD, she would even draw the resentment of the people around her. She would definitely stand out from her current duo with Bambam to become Director Yang Hyun Suk's number one hated person. Moreover, what would her colleagues think of her? Young, impetuous, and over-reaching, resorting to unscrupulous methods in order to achieve her ends, gossipy and immoral ...

Although everyone would only spread the rumour secretly, all of the hate would eventually end up on her head.

"That's just too vicious ..." Lisa's legs felt weak just thinking about the possibility. "Who did I offend? Going so far to harm me."

"I don't know." Bambam shook his head, his chin still leisurely propped up against an arm as he chewed. He was still eating his candy.

Lisa was rather anxious. "Then what should I do?"

He shrugged. "You're the boss. What you say, goes."

With a pitiful expression, Lisa gently tugged on his arm, pleading softly, "Can you help me? You must have some idea."

"I only scored 52 points for my language paper."

"You're bearing a grudge over that?" Lisa set aside her dignity and dredged out a fawning attitude. "Even though you only scored 52 for your language paper, you're still an academic god! A god of academics who leaves us mortals trembling!"

"Beg."

"Hey ..." Lisa looked at him with a dark expression.

"Okay," Bambam snapped his fingers, and then patted her shoulder with particular righteous emphasis. "Since you've already pleaded with me, I will help you just this once."

Lisa lightly pushed his hands away. Young man, you're really getting too high over this act ...

As for how to help Lisa, Bambam instantly zoned in onto the core of the problem: GD.

If she wanted to make this whole problem go away, Lisa would need to build a good relationship with GD.

Lisa felt particularly troubled by this. "He's Director Yang Hyun Suk's right-hand man, and I've just snatched an exclusive interview from him. How can I have a good relationship with him?"

"Young girl, you need to learn how to analyse human nature," said Bambam, brimming with confidence, "GD is a very conceited person. Just invite him for a meal and lavish him with some praise and flattery, then leave it to me to assist from the sides."

"You assist me from the sides? Do you know how to flatter others? Why do I feel so insecure about this ..."

Bambam chuckled, "A guru naturally has his own grand schemes."

Despite not knowing what 'grand schemes' Bambam was talking about, Lisa still chose to put her faith in him. Well, it was mainly because she had no one else to trust right now anyway. She and Eunha were both rookies in the workplace, so Eunha would not be able to give her any good suggestions. Teacher Taeyang was a really nice guy — if he were to provide his input, it would definitely be to put down her pride and just go make peace with GD.

As for how to flatter GD ... Lisa was not an idiot; she still knew a thing or two.

********

Lisa invited GD, Teacher Taeyang, and Bambam to have dinner together at a high-end restaurant. Teacher Taeyang, like Bambam, was there to assist her. Compared with Bambam, Teacher Taeyang was a professional-level assist — with him around, one never had to worry about awkward silences.
