Although it failed to pass 150 seats, a majority of 300 seats, with a difference of one seat, the 1st party was able to win.
My father jumped up from his seat.
“Congratulations Jaeguya!”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Congratulations, son!”
Mother also gave a big smile.
“thank you.”
‘Was it a bit greedy to pass the majority?’
Still, it was a monumental thing to be able to pass the majority by recruiting only two out of 17 people.
I got a call from Rep. Seol Gyeong-taek.
‘You must be very busy, what are you calling me?’
I was in a good mood, but I was concerned because it seemed to disturb busy people. I thought it would be better to have a quick conversation and hang up than to waste time not answering the phone.
“hello?”
{President Kim Jae-gu! Thanks to you, I won the 1st party. Thank you for your help!}
“What have I done?”
{If it wasn’t for the boss, I’d definitely lose. Using a supporter of a congressman to clear up strong enemies in the beginning was a great help. and···.}
He murmured and whispered softly.
{Didn’t you take care of a few more people later?}
“hahahaha. Well, that’s right.”
It seemed to be talking about the people who organized Oh Hyun-seung’s video. surely. If I hadn’t sorted out those people, I would have been further away from the majority.
Even though it was done secretly, it felt good to have someone recognizing it.
{I’ll treat you to a delicious meal later.}
“Aren’t you a salary earner? I’ll treat you.”
{no. If you take a bribe, you will be in big trouble.}
he laughed out loud
I don’t remember buying him a meal at a meal with Seol Kyung-taek. Even if I tried to pay, he would either pay Dutch or buy me a meal.
‘Was it because of the Kim Young-ran Act?’
He was also a man of conscience.
“Then please invite me again later.”
{yes. When are you comfortable?}
Now that the general election has been announced, you must be busy for a while to reorganize the party. I’m also going to be busy for a while, so it’d be nice to meet with a little bit of time.
“See you in two weeks.”
{In two weeks or so?}
“Yes. It seems that Dunsney Land will also have to conclude negotiations, and I will be busy for a while because I have personal work to do.”
{All right. This time, take a long time and eat slowly. You can also come with Congressman Seongmin Han.}
“Yes. I will.”
The phone call with Seol Gyeong-taek ended happily.
“Jae-gu. If Ha-yeon takes you tomorrow, you’ll be tired. Now go to bed.”
“Yes. Good night, mother and father.”
I felt like I was getting a good night’s sleep today.
***
I slept soundly and took Ha-yeon to school.
“Ha Yeon-ah, have a good trip.”
“yes!”
Ha-yeon kissed me on the cheek and ran into the school with a big smile. It was cute to see a bag that was bigger than her torso dangling.
I took out my cell phone and took a video of Ha-yeon’s back.
‘I’m raising my daughter with this taste.’

Just looking at it made me smile.
“(Boss. Where should I take you now?)”
“(please go to the airport.)”
Today was the day Alec Carver was supposed to come over to inspect the pear farm.
‘It’s already spring.’
It seems like just yesterday that they put in the effort to buy the land, but time has gone by so quickly.
Please don’t miss it
Incheon International Airport. Alec Carver and Elisa Carver were getting off the Carver family plane.
“(Elisa. You’ve been visiting Korea more recently.)”
“(My man is very busy, so I have to come over. What can I do?)”
“(hahahaha. Mr. Kim is so busy.)”
Elisa raised the corner of her mouth and smiled shyly.
It was a pity that Kim Jae-goo hadn’t been paying attention to her lately, but I understood it because I knew about his business.
‘(Investing resources in an orchard, recovering a shipwreck, and trying to attract Dunesyland to it. It’s natural that Mr. Jaegu is busy.)’
Elisa cheered up.
‘(If Jaegu is busy, I can come.)’
She was also busy with her company work, but she had time to catch her breath over the busy period. Coincidentally, Alec Carver had to come to Korea, so I arrived in Korea while working comfortably on a private plane.
As they came out to the departure hall, Kim Jae-gu, surrounded by bodyguards, approached them.
“(Miss Elisa! Mr. Carver! Welcome.)”
“(Jaegu. Long time no see.)”
You don’t know how happy he was that his name was called before Alec Carver. Elisa approached Kim Jae-gu with a smile on her face.
As the bodyguards cleared their way, Elisa approached him and kissed him on the cheek.
“(I missed you.)”
“(Sorry. I’ve been very busy lately.)”
“(Still, I was able to survive through frequent video calls.)”
Elisa took Jaegu Kim’s hand.
It would have been rude to do that in front of another businessman, but it was Alec Carver.
He looked at the two with a happy expression and asked his subordinates.
“(The pair look good, right?)”
Alec Carver quite liked the Asian from the Land of Courtesy.
They shared a car that Kim Jae-gu had prepared in advance and headed for his hometown. Spring in Korea was still chilly, but wild flowers along the road welcomed them.
The orchard facilities were fully equipped according to the blueprints received in advance, and the nurseries specially hired by Kim Jae-gu for pear farming were on standby.
I forgot to attach an interpreter for him.
“(Hello. Nice to meet you. I’m Alec Carver from Carver Company.)”
Alec Carver reached out to him without hesitation. The interpreter immediately translated the words.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen you. I’m in my infancy. I’ve been farming pears for 15 years.”
“(I heard that you are an expert in Korean pear farming.)”
“Yes. After 15 years, I would be an expert. I learned a lot from my parents.”
Alec Carver casually tapped him on the shoulder.
“(I’m looking forward to it.)”
“Yes. I will work hard.”
“(First, can you tell us about the manpower needed for pear farming?)”
The group went into an office located next to an orchard. It was a building built according to the orchard layout that Alec Carver shared with Jaegu Kim.
As Yu Tae-gi turned on the presentation he had prepared, Alec Carver’s men prepared to take notes.
“(Please start.)”
“Yes. We will announce it.”
***
The development of the orchard proceeded smoothly. Alec Carver said he would review the equipment and manpower to be put in after hearing the explanation of the baby story.
“(The pears were very tasty.)”
There was also an opportunity to sample pears produced at Yu Tae-gi’s house. It had been stored for a long time, so it lost a bit of freshness, but it was still sweet and delicious.
“(I’ll take it as a gift. It would be nice to share it with the staff.)”
“(Thank you. This taste is marketable enough.)”
“(Please take good care of me.)”
“(Please take good care of Mr. Jaegu.)”
Elisa, who had been quiet until now, intervened. Alec Carver laughed at her.
“(Of course. We might be a family soon.)”
“(I haven’t even received a proposal yet, so don’t say that. Jaegu-san, it’s a burden.)”
“(Okay.)”
he smiled and looked at me
‘A proposal… Can I take this as saying that if I propose, I will accept it?’
Alec Carver put his hand on my shoulder.
“(Mr. Kim. We’ll take a tour of the farm more and go. Mr. Yu Tae-gi will introduce you, so don’t worry, you can go on a date.)”
“(Can I?)”
Elisa came all the way to Korea on purpose, so they should go on a date. The return flight was tonight, so I didn’t have much time.
“(Of course. Now! Then, everyone. Seeing is not worth a thousand words. Let’s go on a farm tour. Please introduce Mr. Yu Tae-gi.)”
“Yes. I am in the middle of planting today, so let’s go see it.”
The party rushed out. I could have followed, but I didn’t.
Elisa hesitated.
“(You didn’t force yourself to stay because of me, did you?)”
“(It can’t be. I’ve been really busy these days, so I was just looking for a place to breathe.)”
“(really?)”
“(Sure. We don’t have much time, so shall we go eat first?)”
My brother-in-law pushes me this far, but if I take my foot off, I’m not a man.
Elisa nodded.
“(Yes. I’m going to eat galbi.)”
“(How did you know?)”
Do you already know my taste? She was also a smart woman.

“Damn it!!”
Yusan Lee hit the desk with his fist and sighed.
He shuddered when he saw the results of the general election.
Although the 2nd party did not pass the majority by a narrow margin, considering their connections, it was as if they had already passed the majority.
“What the hell were you doing until this happened!”
Lee Yoo-san yelled at the staff including Nam Il-seung.
“I’m sorry.”
Nam Il-seung could only bow his head with a guilty heart. Yusan’s anger was like a natural disaster, and the more he tried to fight it, the more it only grew. All I could do was bow my head, praying in my heart for it to fade away.
“Even if I tear him to death, he seems like a guy who won’t get angry.”
he grinded his teeth I put up with managing my image in front of others, but I didn’t have to do that in front of my own people.
The benevolent smile disappeared and his face turned red, like a goblin.
“How are you going to make up for it?”
“It’s not the same idea as the same party.”
Nam Il-seung had something he had prepared, but his mind went blank in front of Yu-san’s anger.
“Are you going to make a traitor?”
“yes.”
“How can you make a traitor if you can’t properly manage the ones you have?”
“It’s easier to make them betray than to manage!”
Yusan also knew that. Because people’s hearts are like reeds in front of money and power.
But I wanted the words to come out of the mouth of the staff. You have to think that you are moving yourself and you will work even harder.
‘Even if they fail, these guys are responsible.’
he lowered his voice.
“Can you?”
“Yes. If you allow the members of the alliance to help you…”
“Why help?”
“Wouldn’t you need a cause to meet?”
“Yes. That’s how it should be.”
He lost the general election, but the president was still on his side.
It was now to pull the bullhorn.
“I’ll give you three months. Show your ability.”
“Yes. Senator.”
It wasn’t that Yu-san was sitting there without any countermeasures. Seol Kyung-taek’s camp included people who had worked with him in the past.
Some of them had weaknesses.
‘It’s tough for the majority, but it’s enough to prevent the other side’s policy from passing.’
Still, it didn’t change that the subordinates were offended. Their attitude was no different from adding a spoon to the stronghold that Yusan had built up.
However, Nam Il-seung did not want to look like him.
‘How many mistakes have I already made?’
It seemed that a new team had to be formed in the presidential election.
‘There’s less than a year left.’
This time, I had to win no matter what.

We ate lunch with Elisha and walked together on the road to our hometown. The village was quiet because all the residents had moved. When remodeling, I left the prototype, so my childhood memories came back.
