Episode 46 – The provocative girl (2)
After being kicked out of the Baekje Hotel, Ji-hyeok headed back to Gangnam.
With the addition of a call from a housekeeper agency that they were looking for someone to clean the shrine, I went straight to the fortune teller, but the person who came to work was old.
“How did Ms. Lee Myung-hee come here?”
Lee Myung-hee said that her son’s condition had improved a lot, and most of the dark blue aura that had been in Wajam had been removed.
Even her face, which looked ten years older than her age, seemed to have returned to its place a little, and now looked like she was in her late thirties.
“Guru, I should have visited you a long time ago… Thank you, thank you very much.”
Jihyuk smiled and said.
“I was just giving directions, wasn’t it Mr. Lee Myung-hee who saved my son’s life? Parents’ earnestness saved their child, so there is no need to thank me.”
“That’s not it… How could a thief like me even take care of severance pay… I should have greeted Seunghyeon, but there is no one to look after Seunghyeon, so I’m finally looking for him. Thank you, guru.”
In fact, Lee Myung-hee had told Seo-yeon so that she could continue working, but Lee Myung-hee herself submitted a letter of resignation, saying that it was difficult to continue working because of her shame, so there was no reason not to give her severance pay.
“It’s not their fault to have someone do something bad with their livelihood as a weapon. Ms. Lee Myung-hee did something so big that she would even take away her severance pay? By the way, are you working as a housekeeper?”
Lee Myung-hee still nodded with an apologetic expression and said.
“Yes, doctor. Thanks to the severance pay you gave me, Seunghyun was able to arrange the overdue hospital bills…”
If it was Lee Myung-hee’s career as a beauty shop manager for more than 10 years, it wouldn’t have been too difficult for her to move to another company, but the reason she decided to become a housekeeper was probably because of her children.
It’s a day job, so the workday is free, and the pay is good, so the conditions must have been fine for Lee Myung-hee.
“Mr. Lee Myung-hee and I seem to have a very deep relationship. Lee Myeong-hee belonged to the company I contacted…”
Lee Myung-hee said that she applied for the position as soon as she saw the company’s job posting.
According to the head of the mediation company, since the working hours are short and it is not very profitable, there will be few people willing to step forward.
“When do you want to start working? It only takes about an hour a day, so you can do more work separately.”
“I… Dosa. Actually, I heard that you didn’t come to work, but that you asked for an hour a day. It’s okay for me to stop by and do it for you before Seunghyun goes to the hospital, so don’t use someone else.”
Ji-hyeok felt very proud of Lee Myung-hee’s willingness to repay the favor.
Anyone can make a mistake if life is difficult, but fortunately Lee Myung-hee was a person who knew shame and did not forget grace.
Jihyuk said with a soft smile on his lips.
“Is it possible to hire people for free? How about this? Quitting day labor and getting a job at a fortune teller?”
“Ah… no, guru. I heard that it’s just a matter of cleaning up some dust from the shrine… but there’s no need to worry about it.”
“When you find a job, there is a lot to do in Shindang. The food has to be changed often, and the counseling room needs to be cleaned occasionally. And if you have time, please clean the house I live in. It’s a house where only two men live, so even if you clean it, it’s very messy. .”
Lee Myung-hee seemed to hesitate for a moment, then carefully opened her mouth.
“Is it really okay?”
“Yeah, that’s fine. Seunghyun’s hospital is in Jamsil, so it’s easy to get to and from, isn’t it?”
“You’re so nice, but are you bothering the guru?”
“I made quite a lot of money thanks to Lee Myung-hee’s testimony. So don’t be burdened and work comfortably. However, if a god party stays for a long time, the ears will inevitably open. I’ll write you a talisman, but when it’s time to calm down Go back to work. Would you like to do that?”
“Heuk… Heuk heuk… Thank you, guru.”
Eventually, tears poured from Lee Myung-hee’s eyes.

Perhaps Lee Myeong-hee has a lot of work luck, and as soon as she introduced the tea room attached to the fortune teller, she had to prepare tea.
Baek Yong-gi, who had visited Ji-hyeok after a long time, had a completely different face than before.
The ferocious eyes that would make ordinary people go numb just by meeting them, were now quite similar to those of any other old man.
Lee Myung-hee and Baek Yong-ki seemed to be finding their place, so Ji-hyeok, who was in a good mood, asked Baek Yong-ki about his current situation.
“Are you good at welfare work?”
“Heh heh, is that all? I’ve never been as comfortable as I am these days in my life. They say that with the money I have, I can build hundreds of welfare centers across the country.”
“I’m glad you feel that way.”
“But on the other hand, on the other hand, it’s the first time I’ve ever felt ashamed of my past. I was going to build a welfare center for the disabled, but the local residents opposed it, saying it was a hateful facility. Come to think of it, I thought that if it were the same as before, I would have opposed it because I wanted the land price to go down. .”
Jihyo nodded and said.
“If you need help with the foundation, let me know. Coincidentally, the Health and Welfare Committee of the National Assembly knows someone.”
“Oh, my guru’s personal connections reached all the way to the political world. Heh heh. I see.”
“Now, it seems like we’re done saying hello to each other… tell us about your business.”
Baek Yong-gi called Woo Sang-jin, who was waiting outside, with a humble expression.
“I’m sorry to suddenly come and ask you this, but could you look after Chief Woo’s contemplation?”
“That’s my job, so there’s nothing difficult. Are you asking me to look at the crown, not the owner?”
“I don’t know the time this friend was born, so it’s hard to find a proper owner.”
Sangjin Woo said.
“I’m from an orphanage, so I don’t even know my real birthday, guru.”
“ah······.”
Jihyeok looked at Woo Sangjin slowly with a slightly embarrassed expression.
After a while, Jihyeok, who looked at the coronation, tilted his head with an expression that was not clear.
“It’s strange. If you look at the coronation, you must have parents and many siblings… but don’t you think the elders think of Chief Woo as their son?”
“Ah… it’s not. Where is the father who makes his son act like a gangster? Brothers, there are many younger brothers who follow Sangjin, so even so…”
Jihyeok looked at Woo Sangjin and said.
“Chief Woo seems to think so.”
“That’s right, Master. The old man who ran out of the orphanage at the age of 15 and got into a fight, sent me to school, and allowed me to work in a suit like this. He’s like my father.”
“Looking at his admiration, he is a person who values loyalty from the start, and he must have done quite well in his hard work as he was born strong. But he is not dull-headed… It seems that the elderly recognized such Chief Woo. Having lived together for such a long time, it is no wonder that father and son bond.”
When only good words came out of Ji-hyeok’s mouth, Baek Yong-ki also felt better.
However, Jihyeok’s puzzles did not end there.
“However, life must have been exhausting and painful as I lived doing jobs that did not suit my clothes.”
Baek Yonggi said.
“He did a lot of bad things because of me. If he doesn’t pay me back, he’ll go and threaten me, and sometimes he’ll use his fists… What I’m worried about is that Sangjin, too, will be beaten for his bad karma.”
Jihyeok smiled and said.
“He cares about everything. Aren’t you pouring a lot of money into welfare projects to prevent your children from being harmed?”
Upon hearing Jihyeok’s words, Baek Yonggi’s expression brightened at once.
“Then, will Chief Woo avoid the embarrassing incident?”
“We’ve already shared the affection between the father and son, isn’t it? Besides, Mr. Woo is a contemplative to live a fairly flat life when he reaches middle age. You may meet a good relationship sooner or later, but if you meet someone who will take care of your shy heart, you will even get married. It could be.”
“Uh heh heh, did you hear that, Sangjin? What did I say? Didn’t I say that I would get married and have children? Uh heh heh.”
Woo Sang-jin said with an embarrassed expression.
“How could someone like me… have a stern look, and look no different than a gangster… Guru, I’ve been to that prison as well.”
“Uhh, isn’t that because Sangjin took over what your younger siblings bought and hit? This guy is good at using his fists, but he’s not a guy with strong hands.”
“Chief Wu.”
“Yes, Master.”
“When I was studying contemplation, I once solved my contemplation over photos of famous gangsters. All of them collected only iron-faced blood that could not be found even the smallest amount of loyalty. It’s just too many people. It’s just a matter of finding your place now, so it’s okay to let go of your self-doubt. Do you understand?”
Woo Sang-jin, who heard Ji-hyeok’s words, expressed his gratitude with a slightly relaxed expression.
Baek Yong-gi carefully asked Ji-hyeok.
“So…wouldn’t you take Chief Woo with you? He’s a guy with a lot of talent in this and that, although it’s a flaw that he’s older than you…”
Jihyeok asked Sangjin Woo.
“You mean me?”
Woo Sang-jin glanced at Baek Yong-gi, confirmed that Baek Yong-gi nodded, and answered right away.
“Yes, Master.”
“Hmm…”
As Jihyeok seemed to be thinking, Woo Sang-jin quickly opened his mouth.
“Teacher, I have something to tell you.”
“Please speak.”
When Ji-hyeok’s permission was given, Woo Sang-jin brought up the fact that the woman Dong-soo was attached to was a player at the salon that Jin Seo-joon attended, and that he had been protecting Ji-hyeok’s safety at Seo-gyeong’s request.
“You did something useless.”
“President Jin Seo-joon may have added a woman with some intention.”
“The intention is to dig up information about me. But I don’t have any specific information to give, and even if there is, I’m not the one to tell. And I guessed that the woman who approached the initiate didn’t have pure intentions.”
“Heh heh, we were worried for nothing.”
“Recently, looking at Dongsu’s face, the nostrils are wide open, which means money is leaking out of the pocket. I don’t know, but if you buy me a bag, I’m a woman who will ask for a wallet inside, and if you put a wallet in a bag, she will ask me to put money in the wallet as well. She will be the one to do it.”
Baek Yong-gi tilted his head and asked.
“Then wouldn’t it be better to take it off quickly?”
“If anything, it could be the same fate, and even if it’s not a fate, shouldn’t you be careful next time after experiencing it with your body at least once?”
“You all had a plan, heh heh. It’s a pity, Sangjin, but I don’t think our guru will really need your skills. Let’s get up now.”
“·······.”
Woo Sang-jin still looked at Ji-hyeok and Baek Yong-gi with a sad expression.
Jihyeok, who is quick-witted, asked Woo Sang-jin.
“I don’t think the reason Chief Woo wants to entrust himself to me is for his own success… is it because of his younger brothers?”
Baek Yong-gi asked Woo Sang-jin with a surprised expression.
“Is that so? If you need money, I said I’d give you enough…”
“Elders, how long would I go into business with that money? My younger brothers, who trusted me and only did what I told them to do. I was so sorry that I became an older brother and said I would just wash my hands and live a good life.”
“Huh… I must have been short-sighted. I should have left something behind.”
Jihyuk sighed and said.
“Everyone lost their jobs because of me, so I’m going to take responsibility. I’ll find a suitable job and contact you.”
“Thank you, thank you. Thank you, guru. If you ask me to do anything, I will do my best.”
“hehehe, thank you. Please take good care of our Chief Woo.”
For some reason, Ji-hyeok felt as if he had been tricked by the two, but he dismissed it as paying for his involvement in someone’s fate.
Jihyeok said.
“Since this has happened, I have one favor to ask Chief Woo.”
“Yes, guru. Just say the word.”
“You know the Baekje Hotel in Myeongdong, right?”
“Yes, Master.”
Jihyeok nodded, took out a piece of paper on the table, and started drawing a picture of what appeared to be a human face.
Ji-hyeok, who completed the painting in an instant, wrote down a few physiognomy characteristics on one side and handed it out to Woo Sang-jin.
“I would like you to find someone who looks similar to this picture among the people who come and go to the Baekje Hotel.
Soon after accepting the painting, Woo Sang-jin asked with a slightly puzzled expression.
“…with this picture?”
The picture Jihyeok handed over lacked a lot to be called a montage.
The face was an inverted triangle, the eyes were round, and the nose was shaped like a fist.
Looking closely, it looked like a woman’s face.
“Kuhmm, I’m not good at drawing… I wrote down the characteristics next to it, so it shouldn’t be difficult to recognize it. Surprisingly, it looks just like the picture, so you might be surprised.”
“I will do my best.”
From noble mtl dot com.

Baek Yong-ki and Woo Sang-jin left, and shortly thereafter, Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong received a phone call.
Hearing the voice, it seemed that he had heard about what had happened during the day from his sister.
It must have been absurd from Lee Ji-hyun’s point of view, since he went to a business meeting and talked about something that would make you think it was nonsense.
– Kang Ji-hyeok, did something happen with Ji-hyun? He was yelling at Kang Ji-hyeok as a pervert…
“I made a few mistakes in my words. I didn’t mean to say that, but it must have offended you.”
– Huh… how much he calls during meetings… Our Jihyun isn’t that kind of a kid, but he must have been a little sensitive to the stress of divorce.
“Actually, that’s the part I wanted to ask, but you must have misunderstood a lot because I said it wrong. I’ll apologize separately soon.”
– What part? You mean divorce?
“It’s not like that, it’s because CEO Lee Ji-hyun’s original personality doesn’t seem to be that kind of person.”
– By any chance, have you seen the coffin?
“I saw it… but I think I need to check if I’m seeing it properly. Looking at the contemplation, I don’t think there’s any luck in getting married yet.
– Then which part…
“If you define Mr. Jihyun Lee’s contemplation in one word, it is like a lofty department. Generally, this contemplation is not interested in men, and is more interested in aesthetics such as paintings and sculptures.”
– Jihyun has been interested in art since she was young. He said his dream was to run an art gallery run by his mother, but from some point on, he became a bit greedy.
“The problem is the new image of CEO Ji-Hyun Lee. In fact, it is a new image that has nothing to do with contemplation, but CEO Ji-Hyun Lee’s new image was the exact opposite. Could it be the new image of a woman full of negative energy? It was.”
– So… are you saying that Jihyun is a man?
Vice Chairman Lee Jae-seong’s voice started to become a little furious.
I couldn’t help but feel good about my one and only sister.
“It shouldn’t be, but it’s strange that it happened. Vice President, since when did CEO Lee Ji-hyun’s personality start to change?”
