In fact, it was thanks to the eyes of trust.
“(Then will you leave it to me?)”
“(Yes. I’ll ask you when I pick people.)”
We ate and coordinated the detailed schedule.
Elisa wanted to return as soon as possible after giving birth, but considering the bond between the child and Ha-yeon, she decided to take a break for a year.
“(I really can’t win against Mr. Jaegu.)”
Elisha raised both hands and feet.
Since you have to be born in the US to have US citizenship, you will have to give birth in the US.
‘I’ll have to adjust my schedule.’
Concerns for the happiness of the family began.

I knew I was pregnant, but with five months left, I slowly thought about the future.
At that time, a call came from the company that had entrusted the exploration of seabed resources.
‘Is the survey over already?’
got a call
“I’m Jaegu Kim.”
{President Kim Jae-gu. This is awesome!}
Would you mind taking one?
The results of seabed resource exploration are amazing. I wondered how much of it was buried and would talk like that.
“Is the survey over?”
{Not yet. It will take time to measure this too. under. Terrible… There was an oil field like this hidden in the sea of our country.}
“How long do you think it will be?”
{At least 1 billion barrels. If you explore the surroundings, more will come out.}
“How much?”
{At least 1 billion. President. Congratulations.}
“Thank you.”
{Then let’s go back to work}
“I’ll take care of the bonus.”
{thank you. President!}
I hung up the phone and leaned back on the backrest. There was a lot more reserves than I thought.
‘One billion barrels? It’s crazy.’
The first oil field invested in Angola was 10 million barrels. The investment at that time was $150 million, so the value of the oil field would have been close to $15 billion.
Of course, after paying the mining fee according to the Submarine Mineral Resources Development Act, the value would drop by half, but it was a great deal.
‘Is this the middle child?’
If the treasure map (medium) is this much, I wonder how great the treasure map (large) will be. The probability was rare, so it rarely came out, but it was clear that it would bring more value than that in proportion to the amount donated.
‘I need to increase the donation.’
Since we donate 50 billion won every week, finding an organization to donate to was also a task.
‘Still, I should donate to an organization where the money is used properly.’
As donation organizations spend most of their donations and skip places that go to those in need, donations as scholarships have become more frequent.
Now that I’m thinking of donating 100 billion won, I decided to look for organizations a little harder.
‘I’d like you to donate for the children.’
I wanted to set up a nursery school myself, but it only counted if I donated to an organization that already existed when I acquired a skill.
The head of the Hanmaeum nursery school was someone I knew well, but the people at the other nursery school might be just plain weird.
‘Because there is no one to trust.’
The amount of 100 billion was an eye-watering amount. Now that I’ve made up my mind, I thought that I should go make a huge donation to Hanmaeum Orphanage next week.
heard the call
“Director. Hello. I am Jaegu Kim.”
{Ahh! Mr. Kim. No, Mr. Kim. Long time no see. How is Ha-yeon?}
“Yes. I’m doing very well.”
{The facilities you built last time are being used very well. The children also became much healthier because they wore nice clothes and ate healthy food. I hope you visit with Hayeon sometime.}
“I’m calling about that anyway.”
{Is that the case?}
“Wasn’t it when the donations ran out?”
{Not at all! With this money, you can keep it for 10 more years. It’s all thanks to the chairman.}
The director’s official statement was so long that I had to listen to it for a while. It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand the gratitude for donating a large amount of money, but it was really talkative.
‘He’s a nice person, but he talks too much.’
It didn’t seem like this character at first, but there are people who talk a lot when you get to know them.
“I will visit with Ha-yeon during vacation.”
I’m in school right now, so I couldn’t go on Monday. I was thinking of going alone, but I decided to postpone it until later because I understood the desire to see Ha-yeon.
{yes. The kids will love it. Even now, it’s not boring to talk about Hayeon.}
It was always a good thing to hear a child’s praise.

At Elisa’s request, I visited her office. It was her first time coming to work, and it was a clean and sophisticated space just like her.
“(hello.)”
“(hello.)”
The staff passed by and greeted them warmly. It seemed that fresh energy was being transmitted.
“(Hello. Are you the boss’s husband?)”
“(Yes. Hello. My name is Jaegu Kim.)”
“(I’m Madison. You’re handsome as I’ve heard.)”
“(What are you talking about?)”
Elisha blushed and waved her hand. Then, suddenly, he looked back at me.
“(It’s not that Jaegoo isn’t handsome… it’s just me at the company…)”
“(The boss praised my husband a lot at the dinner party. It was really hard to listen to him.)”
“(Madison is my founding colleague.)”
Looking closely, it was the face I had seen at the wedding.
“(Ah! You are the man who came as a bridesmaid at that time!)”
“(Yes. That’s right. You look like a different person after you change your makeup, right?)”
She smiled.
“(At that time, there was no rush.)”
I said hello to each of the bridesmaids, but I couldn’t remember properly because I was chased by the wedding.
“(It’s when you’re so busy. I heard you like people’s eyes more than that?)”
“(hahahaha. It’s overrated.)”
“(It was Elisa, not me.)”
It was nice to be proud of myself, but I was also a little embarrassed.
“(Elisa. I have to choose someone who is as good at work as you. Otherwise I will collapse from overwork.)”
“(Okay. I’ll do the handover properly, so don’t worry.)”
“(Yeah. Then see you later.)”
Madison greeted me cheerfully and hurriedly walked away. The office as a whole had a bustling atmosphere. People in neat clothes were immersed in their own work.
‘The atmosphere is nice.’
It was a bit suffocating, but compared to Kangmyeong Products, which used to hang out and talk about others, it was a nobleman. I remembered that it was difficult to listen to my boss who didn’t even care about cigarette time, coffee time, etc. and to bring up my personal history.
“(The person I’m meeting today is a former executive at Elle. Mr. Jaegu, please take good care of me.)”
“(all right.)”
She accepted my request and scheduled interviews for four candidates, one per day for four days. I asked if it was okay to drive it all day, but I refused, so I didn’t ask twice.
In the interview room, Elisa, I, and two other employees were waiting. We greeted them lightly and sat down.
“(I will ask the interviewer to come in.)”
“(yes.)”
A middle-aged woman walked in with a majestic gait. The item she wore perfectly covered the flaws of her slightly bulky body.
As she sat down, questions began.
“(What strategy do you think applicants should use for the future of LPW?)”
“(I think LPW is not only for young women…)”
The middle-aged woman began to speak fluently.
Elisa would properly evaluate the business direction or strategy, and what I had to look at was different.
‘You have to evaluate your opponent with the eyes of trust.’
I had to choose someone who wouldn’t harm me and wouldn’t harm Elisa either. As I took turns asking questions one by one, it was my turn.
The eyes of the three interviewers were looking at me, and I knew intuition that this was my turn.
“(Hello. My name is Kim Jae-gu, the husband of Elisa’s president.)”
“(Mr. Jaegu?)”
Elisa opened her eyes wide in surprise.
However, in order to confirm the trustworthiness of the other party through the eyes of trust, it was necessary to synchronize Elisa with me.
“(I love her very much, and I would give my life for her.)”
“(wow···.)”
One interviewer exclaimed.
“(Jaegoo. Why are you saying that here?)”
Elisa whispered with a blushing face.
“(It’s necessary.)”
“(Is that necessary?)”
It was the first time I had been so flustered. When I saw her blushing face, I thought she was really cute.
‘Elisa has this side.’
The interviewer opened his mouth with a soft smile, befitting an older person.
“(Geumseul is good.)”
“(I would like to. If CEO Elisa returns, she may quit the company. What do you think?)”
Talking about what will happen in the future raised the tension. She smiled and opened her mouth.
“(The contract period has been fulfilled for one year, so if you can’t renew the contract, you will have to leave. But it will make you want to renew the contract.)”
“(Your ambition is great.)”
Elisa seemed to like her composure. I was also surprised by her skillful response.
[Reliability 36%]
Reliability was also amazing.
‘This woman won’t work.’
The eyes of trust were very convenient.
After the interview, the interviewer returned. Elisa greeted the staff and dragged me out.
“(Jaegoo. Why are you saying that there?)”
“(That’s my way. I see through the other person by creating an unexpected situation.)”
“(You could have told me in advance.)”
“(I’m sorry. Then I’ll tell you now.)”
Elisa met my eyes.
“(I’ll do it three more times.)”
“(In front of the staff?)”
Her face turned red again.
“(I can’t help it because I’m doing the interview in front of the staff.)”
“(Ah… I know. It was hard because I wanted to say that I love Jae-goo, too, so my mouth was itching.)”
“(The boss should keep his body.)”
“(That’s right. We need to distinguish between public and private life.)”
Elisa smiled brightly.
“(Rather than that, the person you just interviewed seems to be okay, what do you think of Jaegu?)”
He kept his expressionless at the interview, but he seemed to like it. If I didn’t have eyes of trust, I would have thought I was a pretty decent person.
“(That person just can’t.)”
“(why?)”
“(This is an unbelievable person.)”
She couldn’t hide her surprise. She was about to say something, but narrowed her brows and thought.
“(If it wasn’t for Mr. Jaegu, it would have been a big deal.)”
“(Someone else must be trustworthy.)”
“(Yes. I’ll take care of you tomorrow as well.)”
“(Sure.)”
I was happy to be able to help Elisa.
Fortunately, on the third day, I was able to meet a person whose reliability was over 80%.
‘36%, 58%, 84%, 47% d… There are so many people who earn their living by lying.’
I thought that Elisha must be very tired to hear that there are so many unbelievable people.
After the interview on the last day, Elisa brought me to the president’s office and asked.
“(Jaegoo, who did you like the most?)”
“(You must unconditionally choose a third person.)”
“(Does it make that much of a difference?)”
“(Yes. If it’s the third person, I won’t do anything bad to Elisa-san.)”
She nodded slowly.
“(If Mr. Jaegu says that, I guess I should pick him as the third person.)”
“(Are your skills okay?)”
“(All four are fine.)”
Elisa smiled and met her eyes.
