i think its mostly workplace things and how the mc isnt doing as good of a job as he usually did which reflects poorly on himself and makes not only him but his company look bad. i also think because of the heirarchy culture theres even more added pressure too? that's kind if what i got. it also seems he has an opposition which is a guy from either the same or different company idk
Ok here's the general concept. Mc adores the "old" woman that, from what I've got, is part of the right wing of political Korea. I don't quite know if she's just a representative of the president or if she is the president, just think of her as someone important, kind of like a leader in her political party. Mc is so obsessed with her that SUPOSSEDLY (not confirmed btw) he even dated that black haired woman bc the old lady introduced her to him.
Mc is her favorite underling and she thinks of him as a loyal dog. Mc is good at his job but suddenly got transferred to deal with the demolition of a poor part of the city. Before mc got this job, it was his rivals job (the guy Mc constantly fights with), I don't remember how much time that guy tried to make all the citizens agree on selling their land but I think it was 2 years, but since he couldn't get the job done the old lady made MC go in his place. (Context: they want to rebuild that part to make it look cleaner and better, so that it will boost their political reputation for the next election. But to do that they need all citizens that live there and own a place to sell their properties to the government. "Oh but why would they do that" bc they'll get money and the offer to live in another slighly better place).
We don't know yet why Mc likes the old woman so much and we also don't know why she made him start on that job since there was no urgency to get it done quickly (his words not mine), also that job looks like a demotion to other people.
I don't know if I said everything so if you have any questions feel free to ask! (Sorry for the bad english

Boxer becoming desperate over that cookie makes this story go hard lmao. Idk why yall don't enjoy the plot as well, sure politics is hard to understand but honestly you don't need to comprehend all the words, just the general context
