72 – 72. Abs Project (4)
Chairman Seo Chang-soo was reading an article Wednesday morning in the garden of his mansion.
Reading the morning newspaper while basking in the sunlight every morning is something everyone in Chairman Seo Chang-soo’s family knows.
But now that routine was broken.
There was no newspaper in his hand.
Instead, there was a capler tab.
“Giggles! I don’t know why I haven’t used this great thing before! The screen is also enlarged! Even small letters look big! “Isn’t it really amazing, Director Ahn?”
Director Cho Ahn-hyeok was standing next to Chairman Seo Chang-soo, who was asking for consent.
This is because one of his duties is to take all the morning newspapers to the headquarters as soon as he reads them.
Director Ahn Hyeok Ahn said while looking intently at the capacitor tab.
“It’s really surprising..”
“Right? “The functionality is truly amazing!”
“No, more than that, I am surprised that the Chairman has a tablet in his hand.”
“Yekki! “Is there a law that says old people shouldn’t use tablets?”
Director Ahn Hyuk-hyeok frowned and responded.
“I think there are more than 10 capper tabs that were cut off because they were ugly, Chairman. At that time, I thought it was some kind of master who had failed to break pottery.”
“It was worth breaking at that time! “Cluck!”
“The version back then and the version now are the same?”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo shook his head.
“No. It’s definitely changed. “That is ‘value.'”
Director Ahn Hyeok Ahn said while touching his chin.
“Is that so? “I am completely…”
“Kkkkk. It’s even weirder if people like you know. Those who use their bodies should work hard. People who talk nonsense will talk hard. “There isn’t much time left to think about it.”
Director Ahn Hyuk, who understood the meaning of the words, spoke without knowing what to do.
“Ha.. Chairman. “Why are you saying that again this morning?”
“Why? “If we keep talking like this, won’t you be a little less surprised when I actually leave?”
“Still, those words…”
“Cluck. I got it. Okay. He’s big and distracted, but he always talks like a child at times like this. By the way, did Director Ahn read the morning newspaper?”
“I know you don’t read newspapers often, but what kind of article do you read over and over again without turning the page?”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo burst into laughter.
“What can I do? Seo Woojin. It’s about my grandson. “It’s nothing else.”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo was about to say something but paused for a moment.
“If I say this incorrectly, I could end up becoming an old man bragging about his grandchildren.”
“hahahahaha. What are you worried about? And what is wrong with a grandfather bragging about his grandson?”
“Right? “You think so too, Chief Ahn?”
“Of course. And what is better than seeing a smile on the president’s face? So, why don’t you brag to your heart’s content?”
“Phew. Okay. “Actually, my grandson made a declaration.”
Director Ahn Hyuk-hyeok tilted his head at the words without context.
“Declaration?”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo waved the tablet he was holding.
“This, this. “That guy said he would increase the sales of this capler tab tenfold?”
“W-10 times as much?”
The tablets produced and sold by Seohwa Electronics are not like snacks from a local corner store, and the idea of raising the price 10 times was nonsense even to Director Ahn Hye-hyeok, who does not know much about business.
“Yes. Ten times. What does Director Ahn think about that declaration?”
“..Isn’t that a reckless statement?”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo slapped his knee and said.
“That’s right! Reckless! Not to anyone else, but to me, the founder of Seohwa Group! Ah? And he was there with Abby Ji, who is currently leading the calligraphy and painting group.”
“Hmm.. I don’t think it will be easy to find a way..”
“It’s true, Director Ahn, you don’t read the newspaper!”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo chuckled and handed the capper tab to Director Cho Ahn-hyeok.
“Read it.”
“What article.. Hmm?? What?”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo smiled.
“What do you think? “Can you see my grandson not only talking, but squirming?”
The newspaper article was simple.
Suddenly, searches and inquiries for Seohwa Electronics’ capacitor tab are flooding in.
It is said that a YouTuber dropped his tablet in real time while interviewing Seohwa Group Headquarters Seo Woo-jin, the protagonist of the convenience store incident, and that this was the trigger for the current outcome.
If you had just read the article, you would have thought, “Oh, that’s right,” But since I had just heard the grandson’s declaration to Chairman Seo Chang-soo, there was only one thing left to say.
“I guess dropping it wasn’t a mistake?”
“Isn’t that right? “The order is a bit different, isn’t it?”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo accepted the Capler tab while smiling.
He continued his speech while turning the capper tap.
“That’s why I said that the ‘value’ has changed. “It’s the same product, but it’s no longer the same product.”
“I see. “I know that Director Seo is trying hard, but even so, sales are ten times higher.”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo nodded his head.

“Cluck, click. Yes. It’s impossible. No matter how much it is being pushed out by its competitors, CaplerTap is selling on the world stage. 10 Times? Even when you look at it numerically, it’s at an incredible level. As you said, this is truly a reckless statement. But you know what? “There are blind spots in this declaration.”
“What is it?”
“Even if sales go up, you don’t know if it’s really because of you. “It can’t even be analyzed.”
“..Ah?”
“And there is also the issue of period. I haven’t said anything since forever. “That sly grandson.”
“Ah, that means…”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo said with a smile on his lips, wondering what was so exciting.
“Yes. After that declaration and that action, everything becomes Woojin’s accomplishments. At least for me and my eldest son, who heard that declaration directly.”
Ahn Hyuk asked with interest.
“Do you really see it that way?”
“Cancer! You have to look at it that way. “That’s why I accepted it.”
“You did that on purpose.”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo hesitated.
“That’s right. If I do that, shouldn’t my grandson be able to do anything in the future? For example… Director Ahn, you need to use your fists. “What should I do to avoid getting hit?”
“You have to move constantly.”
“That’s right. If you stand in a high-handed stance with your chin up and say you want to use your fists, and get a surprise uppercut by mistake, you will immediately collapse. To avoid that, you have to maintain good posture and keep moving. I hope Woojin continues to move like that in the future. So I accepted it. In the sense of keeping moving.”
Director Ahn Soo-hyeok smiled.
“In my own way, I educated my grandson.”
“That’s true, but I never imagined that I would build something like that right away. “But my son responded well right away.”
“You mean President Seo Tae-han?”
“Yes. I haven’t been watching much since I’ve left the front line, but Taehan seems to have been keeping an eye on Woojin in connection with the group. So, the newspaper article must have been written to our group’s advantage, right?”
“Ah.. The public relations office..”
“If you look at it that way, Taehan is also good at his job. I’m very adept at using situations to my advantage. Ruler! “Let’s get up now!”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo stood up.
“Shall I contact Director Seo’s secretary in advance?”
“Why?”
“Aren’t you planning on going to see us?”
“Eh. Director Ahn. Then no. If you praise the wrong person at this time, you will feel embarrassed. “Your habits just get worse.”
“Ah.. I see. Sorry.”
“Let’s just go to the office. “I’ll go and see if our group is doing well.”
Director Ahn Hyeok Ahn said with a smile on his side.
“You mean like yesterday?”
“Yes. “Just like yesterday.”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo came out of the garden with a smile similar to that of Director Cho Ahn-hyeok.

“uuu..”
It’s morning.
But my body is not in the morning.
What is this feeling, like my body is about to break?
No, is it already broken?
I remember the first time in my life I worked hard.
I think it probably felt like this.
The reason my body felt so tight seemed to be the result of exercising again last night.
In the evening, I worked out with Dongsu and Geunwoo without trainer Hyeji Lee.
But didn’t they say that if you exercise with them, you’ll wake up refreshed the next day?
Is this refreshing?
Just like Trainer Lee Hye-ji, they too were one with no end.
And what was the slogan again?
Just one more, just one more, just one more!??
Ha.
You bastards.
Doing one more thing means you’ll be left behind.
Agogo.
I barely managed to raise my upper body and get out of bed.
Can you go to work with something like this?
At that time,
Ding-dong.
Huh?
Who is this morning?
I checked who it was through the intercom connected to my phone.
It was a nice house, so it had all the functions.
But the face reflected on the phone…
“Director Seo! Good morning! “This is Geun-woo.”
“There is also a fellow initiate next to me.”
What is it, from this morning?
I barely answered in a subdued voice.
“What’s going on? This time.”
“Please open the door first.”
..?
Why aren’t you answering?
“What’s going on?”
“Please open the door first.”
Is this a macro?
It felt somewhat cheap, but that doesn’t mean you can’t just leave people outside.
Tiririt!
I opened the door with my phone.
And that is,
It was the biggest mistake I made today.
