“that···.”
It seems that it is a characteristic of young children to go away when the topic of study comes up. Han Kyung-ah stroked Ha-yeon’s hair with a cute expression.
“Listen to Dad.”
“huh!”
“Then boss. Let’s go now.”
“Yes, Ms. Kyeong-a. You’ve worked hard so far. Should we have a farewell party when things are sorted out?”
“It’s lonely because it’s a farewell party.”
“me too.”
However, there had to be a separation before there could be a new beginning. There’s a lot to learn from Roborabo’s Owen Hawkins.
“Then let’s really go. The boss’s mother and father are also thankful for the past time.”
Han Kyung-ah nodded.
Mother had tears in her eyes.
“Kyung-ah, you need to be healthy.”
“bye.”
“Sister! We will definitely meet again.”
Han Kyung-ah left with her family seeing her off.
Ha-yeon sniffed as she watched the vehicle moving away.
“Sister. Can we see you again later?”
“of course.”
Since the whole world was now my territory, I could visit her at any time even if she was working at Robora Robo.
‘If Ha-yeon wants to see her, I’ll go with her.’
It was now time to depart for home.
We split into the vehicle that Benjamin Chung had brought and got on board. Taking my parents to the Bentley, Hayeon and I got into the Mercedes.
The back seat was wide and comfortable, probably because it was a car driven by a lot of bosses. Ha-yeon fiddled with the entertainment system, starting with the air conditioner.
“Dad. What is this?”
“That’s the air conditioner.”
Parents have an obligation to satisfy the curiosity of their children. While answering Ha-yeon’s questions eagerly, a car suddenly entered the yard.
The vehicle was parked in a garage located next to a well-maintained garden. I got out of the car first and helped Ha-yeon get out.
Happy jumped out of the car behind.
“happy!”
king!
Happy seemed to like the yard and ran around excitedly even though it was the first place he visited. Ha-yeon chased after Happy.
“Be careful not to fall.”
“Happy! Dad says be careful!”
When Ha-yeon shouted at Happy, Happy was the king! It barked and waggled its tail.
‘It’s peaceful.’

Just having a child and a dog in the lonely yard filled my heart.
My parents were already at home. At Benjamin Chung’s direction, Jim helped the staff organize. There was an aunt hired to do the housework, so organizing was easy.
Because I found a new staff accommodation close to my house in Hannam-dong, I had room to spare. The room where Han Kyung-ah stayed was also newly cleaned and tidied up.
But there were also new residents.
“Brother. Are you here?”
Choi Ji-hoon walked down from the second floor, as if his concentration was broken by the loud noise. Despite being told to use the elevator, he would use the stairs to exercise.
“Uh. I came with my family.”
I told him in advance. Choi Jihoon scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.
“hahahaha. I think I have to go out again.”
“It’s okay. Han Kyung-ah was comfortable too, so you should be comfortable too. My family likes people, so you won’t feel uncomfortable.”
“Yes. Brother.”
He went to say goodbye to his parents.
“Hello. My name is Choi Ji-hoon, a younger brother who knows Jae-goo hyung. I recently started a business with my older brother.”
Compared to the old days when there was no shyness, it was a great development. Thanks to meeting people often, it seems that my social skills have been developed quite a bit.
When I told them that they were my acquaintances, my parents welcomed me very kindly. Maybe it’s because he’s been running the mart for a long time, so he talked easily with people he’d never seen before.
‘There’s no need to worry.’
Choi Ji-hoon was registered as the representative of the best product, so unlike Han Kyung-ah, he could be the target of the opponent. It was no longer a secret among the people involved that I was related to the best product.
I just thought I knew everything.
‘I have to live with Ji-hoon for a while.’
At least until Seol Kyung-taek became president, he intended to live with them. After he becomes president, Lee Yoo-san’s forces will not be able to spread their spirit.
‘By that time, everyone who knows me will know that I’m part of Seol Kyung-taek’s line.’
If the investor of Disneyland told me that it was me, it would be something they would know quickly.
After helping my family organize the house, I was exhausted. A chef in charge of meals in Korea approached.
“What should I prepare for dinner?”
“wait a minute.”
It’s been a while since I came to Korea, so I wanted to prepare a menu that my parents would like to eat. I asked the two people for their opinions and passed it on to the chef.
“I’d like stir-fried pork with soybean paste stew, please.”
“All right.”
Maybe it was smaller than the house in New York, so the dining table together felt more cozy.
‘Is it because I’m Korean?’
Ha-yeon blew on the pork stir-fry and put it in her mouth.
“delicious.”
“It should be eaten with vegetables.”
“Yes···.”
The child grimaced and picked up the lettuce. My parents ate with very happy faces.
“Is this homemade soybean paste?”
“This is miso from a temple I know.”
The waiter answered.
“It tastes very good.”
“thank you.”
The mere fact that the staff spoke Korean was quite an advantage to the parents.
After a warm and happy meal time, the families went into their respective rooms. I had a good rest on the chartered flight, but probably because of the long journey, everyone quickly fell asleep.
‘Strangely, he’s sane.’
It was not difficult to adjust to the time difference, probably because I often went back and forth between Korea and the United States. Still, I felt good.
‘Just having my family by my side makes me feel comfortable.’
It felt like my empty heart was warmed up.

The polling team hired to determine Han Seong-min’s policy direction was still hard at work. I received a brief briefing on the progress from Radley Wood, the head of the investigative team.
‘The outline will come out in the next two weeks.’
There was still plenty of time, so it wasn’t urgent.
The survey team not only conducted online surveys, but also actively conducted surveys in places where many locals gathered.
It was because there were many people who were not familiar with the Internet as much as it was in the countryside. I heard that the key to a survey is to properly set up a sample, but it was believed that the method developed at Harvard was improved and used in-house.
‘I have to trust him because he was introduced by Hugo Evans.’
It’s not easy, but trusting the person I chose was more important than anything else. In order to do a big job in a position of manning people, you shouldn’t try to micro-manage.
It was the practitioner who picked the right person in charge, placed them in the right place, and presented them with sufficient authority and vision to do the job.
There was something else to do before supporting the general election so that Seol Kyung-taek could win.
‘I have to cut the image of the candidates in the nomination of the party to which Lee Yu-san belongs.’
The Han Jung-taek support group, led by Dokgo-gap, has already shown a move to push away Lee Yoo-san’s candidates. They asked me to join their meeting tonight.
‘The enemy of the enemy is a friend. I’d better hold hands now.’
I gave Seol Gyeong-taek a little hint, but I don’t know if he understood it correctly. Since he is the person who created the start-up myth, he must be aware.
After a fun day with my family, I got ready to go out in the evening. Since the members of the meeting were all corporate executives, the only time everyone could gather was late at night.
As I was getting ready to go out, Ha-yeon came up to me and looked at me blankly. I asked softly if I had something to say.
“Do you have something to say to Daddy?”
“Goodbye.”
Ha-yeon bowed her belly button. I usually use short words, but it was awkward to suddenly use honorific words.
“Why are you saying honorifics all of a sudden?”
“just.”
Hayeon laughed too, probably awkward.
‘I think he’s already grown up.’
Or maybe my language skills are improving little by little. stroked the child’s head.
“I’ll go, Dad.”
“yes.”
“Don’t go to bed too late.”
“yes.”
Is it an illusion that you look cuter when you use honorifics?
The child was so cute that his feet did not fall off.
“(Boss. It’s time to leave.)”
“(I’m leaving now.)”
I waved to Ha-yeon again and got into the waiting car. The destination was a coffee shop on the outskirts.
‘It’s a cafe. The first time I met Seol Kyung-taek, I met him at Dowon Tea Garden.’
I smiled when I remembered my first meeting with him.
‘I arrived 20 minutes before the appointment time, but I’m in last place.’
People who were too diligent were also burdened.
***
The meeting of young executives was held in a rural coffee shop with a retro feel. Thanks to the charter in advance, no other guests were seen.
‘It doesn’t go well with the prefix [young].’
The horse is a young manager. Since everyone has a position, no one was in their 20s. Most of them were in their mid-30s to 40s, but it was true that they were young compared to Yusan Union.
“Welcome, Mr. Kim.”
The first person to welcome him was Dokgo Gap.
“Hello. Chairman Dokgo-gap. Is group management worth it these days?”
“It’s not easy, but it’s worth doing.”
There was no expression on his face, so I couldn’t read what he was thinking.
“Welcome. Welcome.”

Jung Min-jae was always next to Dokgo-gab. He smiled and said hello. He was a man known as the successor of JJ Telecom, so it was good to be friends with him.
“Hello. How are you?”
“I was busy. As you know, now is the nomination season.”
he grinned.
The nomination was a battle within the party to decide who would go to which area. Here, he had to call his own forces to seize power in the party.
‘Now that Lee Yu-san’s approval rating in the party is over 70%, Han Jung-taek will have to do well in this nomination if he wants to overturn the game.’
Otherwise, there was no way that Han Jung-taek could defeat him and become the presidential candidate when the party was filled with people from Mt. Lee.
“Hello. Do you remember me?”
“Did I forget Yuhan-gyeol?”
“hahahaha. I’m glad you remember me. Some people don’t remember me because I’m the type of person who doesn’t have a good impression.”
He was an executive at the second-largest telecommunications company in Korea. It was good to secure the network related to the telecommunications company unconditionally.
“Forgive me for being late.”
Finally, a man entered, and the entrance was locked. Instinctively, my hand reached for the pepper spray in my pocket.
Dokgo Gap looked around at the members.
“Since it seems like all the members have gathered, how about starting now?”
“Everyone is busy, so let’s just point out the key points and move on.”

Jung Min-jae was right.
‘Let’s hear what he’s talking about.’
you really trust me
The story began with Dokgogap at the head. The first to speak was Jung Min-jae.
“First of all, the image of the candidate nominated is important. No matter how much Lee Yoo-san’s support is, we cannot run a candidate with a high probability of failure.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to target candidates with criminal records first?”
“If you go to the media too much all at once, you get tired and lose concentration.”
“How about sending an SMS?”
“These days, the trend is not to click links, so it would be better to abbreviate the contents.”
I sat quietly and listened to the stories pouring in.
‘Since there are a total of 300 electoral districts, the volume of the story is too loud. As for seats, both the places with strong competition and those with weak competition are the same, so it would be better to target the areas with weak competition first.’
Dokgo Gab opened his mouth.
“This is a list of nominations by region currently being reviewed. The regions where Candidate Joong-taek Han ran in the line are marked in green, and the line for Yusan Lee in red. “
When I saw the color, I immediately understood.
Since the number of 300 seats is so large, there were many places where only one person was nominated depending on the region. However, there were still more than 100 areas that were marked with red and green.
‘surely. Even if I spread about 100 people on the national news, I’ll be buried in people’s attention.’
It was a time when each breakup was necessary.
“What do you think, President Kim Jae-gu?”
I’m grateful that they believed in me, but I was embarrassed when they hit me like this.
‘Even if it blinks, it turns on and comes on.’
Still, it felt good to know that Dokgo-gap rated me highly.
“I agree with President Dokgo-gap’s opinion. If you don’t break each one, you’ll get tired and it’ll be difficult to win voters’ support.”
