Episode 82. Sweat (1)
A few days later.
We were having breakfast at the Jin family’s residence in Pyeongchang-dong.
Because of company work, everyone went to work first, and only Jin Yeon-seok and Jin Soo-hyeok sat at the table.
Jin Soo-hyeok, who started eating breakfast, glanced at his father, who was strangely quiet today.
An awkward air flowed.
“Did you drink yesterday?”
“···hmm? had a drink.”
“Is that so?”
It was because I was sitting right next to him and I could smell the alcohol.
That was enough to guess how much he drank.
Even so, Jin Yeon-seok did not take his eyes off the meal to see if he was reading the newspaper.
Then Jin Soo-hyeok said what he had confirmed through Kang-soo the other day.
“Father, I asked Kangsu, but Seon has no idea.”
“…That, is it? Big— I think the company has a little more work than that, is that okay?”
Regarding Athena belonging to JIN Entertainment, it was reported loudly in the news.
Jin Yeon-seok couldn’t help but know.
“Fortunately, it worked out.”
“I saw it too. I heard that Kangsu solved that too.”
“Where else did you hear that?”
It was because the media only went out as Athena’s manager.
“I have ears to hear.”
“Did you plant a spy in my company?”
“What is a spy! greatness! greatness!”
Jin Soo-hyeok finished eating and woke up.
Until then, Jin Yeon-seok had been reading the newspaper.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“···does not exist.”
“By the way, why are you sitting still without eating? As if you have something to say.”
“It is nothing.”
Soon, Jin Yeon-seok folded the newspaper, got up, and headed to the study.

Not even a spoonful of rice was left open.
Seeing this, Jin Soo-hyuk tilted his head and went out with his bag and jacket.
I went out to the parking lot in front of the house, and Jin Yeon-seok’s secretary, Song Young-do, was tidying up the car.
“Chief Song.”
“Yes, CEO Jin.”
“Who was your father drinking with yesterday?”
It was something I hadn’t asked before.
In response, Song Young-do replied that it was not even important.
“I ate with Oh Chil-seon, the president of Osung Foods.”
“Oh, with the President? Did you eat a lot?”
“You did too much yesterday. Are you in poor health? Shall I call the doctor?”
Song Young-do was more concerned about that, so he immediately took out his cell phone.
“It is not. Anyway, I understand.”
“Yes, thank you. Representative Jin.”
Climbing into the back seat of the car, Jin Soo-hyeok couldn’t erase the uncomfortable feeling.
However, since nothing came out, he shook his head and left for the company.

Kangsu went to work first because Athena’s schedule was in the afternoon.
I was passing in front of the break room and for some reason I saw Theresa. I was drinking coffee by myself.
“Long time no see.”
“That’s right. No filming today?”
It was 9:00 AM.
Because of the preparation time, I usually had to arrive at the set by that time.
In particular, Yoo So-hyun was the lead role, so there were more things to prepare than other roles.
“This filming is a different cast episode, so I’m taking a day off.”
“Then why did you come out? Last time, they said they valued work-life balance.”
“Do I work too? I’m here to organize my overdue security journal.”
“ah······.”
Theresa frowned at that response.
“Did you think I wasn’t doing my job properly?”
“What…just.”
Kangsu threw his eyes into the air for no reason.
“Chi—but I heard it was a mess this time too?”
“Did you hear?”
“Can you not hear me?”
After asking, Theresa confirmed that there was no one nearby.
“I’m just asking Cong for help.”
“Did you hear from Chiyoung?”
“Well, I just heard about it. Other than that, he’s complete trash. Hand it over to the police and that’s it?”
Theresa would have thrown the drawing knife right away.
Of course, it was obvious where the knife would land.
“Chiyoung will take care of the rest. It is better to bury such people in society.”
“store?”
Gong Chi-Young scattered incidents and photos of Choi Tae-Hoon everywhere.
Of course, Choi Tae-hun would only live a few years in prison before coming out. It was to be made known to anyone so that even if he came out of prison, he would not be able to set foot in society.
“There is a way.”
“Is the work worth doing? Ah, it seems that director Hawk O’Brien needs Soo next.”
It was because of the high difficulty stunt.
“I have been contacted. I’ll stop by in two days.”
“Soo. It’s a lot of trouble.”
“Then let’s go to work.”
Kangsu went back to his seat and arranged the necessary documents.

same time.
A woman with bobbed hair in a luxurious two-piece outfit in dark blue entered the lobby of JIN Entertainment.
People’s eyes were naturally drawn to the confident and straight gait and the sound of high heels ringing in the lobby.
She went straight to the information desk and said.
“I’m here to see CEO Jin Soo-hyuk.”
The female information desk staff swallowed saliva first as she was pressed by her spirit.
“Did you make an appointment?”
“no. You would know Oh Do-hae, the granddaughter of Oh Sung Food’s president Chil-seon Oh.”
Ohsung was one of Korea’s leading food companies.
At the same time, Oh Do-hae held out his business card.
[Osung Food Development Team 1]
[Team leader Oh Do Hae]
The female employee immediately put the phone in the representative office.
And not long after, Jin Soo-hyeok’s secretary, Go Jeong-se, came down.
“Come this way.”
“…”
Oh Do-hae had an angry expression.
I followed Go Jeong-se and got on the elevator and arrived at Jin Soo-hyeok’s office.
As soon as the door opened, Jin Soo-hyeok stood up from his desk.
“Long time no see. CEO Jin Soo-hyuk.”
There was an acquaintance through exchanges between companies.
In particular, Osung Foods Chairman Oh Chil-seon was close with Jinyeon Group Chairman Jin Yeon-seok.
That’s why I saw Oh Do-hae from time to time when he was young.
“Big— What is the CEO? You can call me comfortably like before.”
“I don’t really want to do that in the mood right now.”
Oh Do-hae sat down on the sofa with Jin Soo-hyeok.
“Looks like something bad happened. Let me prepare the tea first.”
“are you okay. More than that, Mr. I heard you have a son.”
“···huh? How to do that…”
Despite Jin Soo-hyeok’s surprised reaction, Oh Do-hae’s expression did not change.
Rather, it was more like anger.
“Chairman Jin Yeon-seok, does he view our family as a hukou?”
“What do you mean?”
“The other day, the CEO and my second aunt told me to show it. He said he was talking about me this time.”
“Father?”
Jin Soo-hyeok found out the identity of the ominous feeling he felt in the morning.
“What do you think of our five stars? And besides, the representative’s son…”
“No, that’s…”
Even if the presidents were friends, it was their job to see the good.
First of all, I made an appointment with Oh Do-hae’s second aunt and made a funk. Then I canceled it altogether, and this time it was my granddaughter.
From Ohseong’s point of view, Jinyeon had no shame. There were enough reasons for Oh Do-hae to be outraged.
At the same time, Jin Soo-hyeok was worried.
“I heard everything from my grandfather. I know very well that it’s something I shouldn’t do if I go around talking about it elsewhere. However, even if it’s a parent-child relationship where there’s nothing to be a problem… isn’t this a little out of the question?”
“I’m sorry. I told my father that I would answer quickly, but for some reason the story has flowed into your family.”
It was a sincere apology.
Seeing that, Oh Do-hae sighed.
“I only heard about it this morning. Grandpa just asked how he was. When I was with my second aunt, I came here because I couldn’t stand it.”
The nickname in Oh Do-hae’s company was Bulldozer.
It was a nickname he had been given since he started a new employee with a public loan from Ohsung Foods while hiding his identity.
“I have nothing to say…”
“I heard that you boasted so much. You must be a great son?”
“···huh?”
“What are you doing? I heard that they met after not knowing each other for over 30 years. Then… an office worker at work?”
In general, it would have been.
Jin Soo-hyeok didn’t know what to say.
“What… that’s right.”
If the manager was also an office worker, he was an office worker.
Aside from that, Jin Soo-hyeok was worried about what to say about the rest.
“Let’s see if we can meet again.”
“···what?”
“I don’t know if it’s someone else. He said he was the CEO’s son. I honestly respect the CEO. Leaving Jinyeon Group, here and now, as well as at Blue Guard… I can’t say that there was no influence from Jinyeon Group at all. This is impossible without the ability.”
“Big—thank you for the compliment.”
Jin Soo-hyuk felt ashamed for nothing.
At the same time, I was worried about how to respond to her decision.
“Please make it a good day. Or you can catch it yourself, so you can give me your contact information.”
Kang had already refused.
However, Oh Do-hae came directly like this.
Jin Soo-hyeok didn’t know what to say.
“I don’t think you’re willing to meet me, but you don’t have to meet me. And even if it’s my son, I’ve lived without knowing it for a long time, so I don’t know much about the menstruation here.”
I decided to look around and try to convince him.
But misunderstanding did not budge.
“It would be better than the men who pretended to be conceited from birth. Promise, please. I have an advertising love meeting before lunch, so I think I should go.”
It seems that Dohae Oh stopped by JIN Entertainment while he was busy.
“If you’re very busy, you don’t have to make time for it…”
“I can afford that much time. Excuse me.”
I couldn’t bear to say that Kang-soo had already refused.
“Go with caution.”
“See you next time.”
Oh Do-hae tried to get out like that.
Then, Jin Soo-hyeok suddenly remembered something.
“Ah, do you know what Chairman Jin was bragging about?”
“Um… I don’t know what else. He said he was handsome. He said he looked just like him.”
“I will see you off.”
Jin Soo-hyeok accompanied me to the elevator.
Oh Do-hae climbed inside and headed to the first basement floor as the elevator door closed.
Oh Do-hae muttered as he recalled his conversation with Jin Soo-hyeok.
“I should have asked for your name. um… no Until there.”
Should I call it a bit of pride?
I came here because I was angry, so I thought that was excessive.
ding—
The elevator stopped, as if someone was boarding on the second floor.
The door opened and two people stood in front of it.
A foreign woman with waist-length brown hair and a man with a gentle yet strong impression.
It was Teresa and Kangsu.
“…”
The atmosphere was different from normal people.
Oh Do-hae, who had no hope of dying anywhere, hesitated slightly backwards.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
Just then, the cell phone rang in Kang-soo’s pocket.
Kang-soo took out his cell phone, but Oh Do-hae, who was standing behind him, saw the screen.
[99.9123123%]
“Big—”
The moment I was misled by the saved name, I almost spit it out.
Kang-soo and Teresa looked back at that reaction, and their eyes met.
“Excuse me.”
“no.”
Kangsu said that and answered the phone.
“Yes, I answered the phone.”
Since there are other people around me, I didn’t even mention the title of ‘representative’ on purpose.
At this, Jin Soo-hyeok’s voice came over the receiver.
[Where is it?]
“It’s a company.”
[I need to come up for a while.]
“All right.”
When the call ended, Theresa looked at what was going on.
“I’ll go up again.”
“okay. Soo, you’re having a hard time.”
When the elevator reached the first basement floor, Oh Do-hae and Teresa got out.
Kang-soo, who was left alone, pressed the top floor where the representative office was.
.
.
.
Oh Do-hae arrived at the place where he parked his car in the underground parking lot.
While doing so, I saw where Teresa, who had gotten off the elevator with me, had walked.
I had a glimpse of her back until just now, but it was perfect that her walking was well-balanced and her strength felt.
My mouth hurts when I talk about my body or face.
“Are these celebrities affiliated with?”
These were faces I had never seen on TV.
However, the feeling was distinctly different from that of ordinary people.
“I think it would be okay to use this as a model for our new product…”
It was related to work.
Then, I got into the car and headed to the place where the meeting with the advertising agency was held.
