211: Meet and see (3)
“The conflict between creditors and foreign acquirers over Pharaoh Resort is intensifying. The news is that G Company, which has caused controversy by demanding a 50% reduction in debt, has added an extension of the repayment period for the remaining debt as an additional negotiation condition. More information is available on site . . .”
Cheol-woo, who was sitting in Hwaryeong’s office, was watching TV. I didn’t enjoy dramas or entertainment programs, so the channel naturally turned to the news.
Quite a few news channels mentioned the news about the Pharaoh Resort. As if there was no news worse than that in Korea, all the news was steadily biting.
“They are doing well.”
Negotiations with creditors, led by Steve, were a scenario from the start. It was a strategy to put pressure on creditors who did not have time to wait to lose power.
Of course, the more delayed the project, the greater the damage to Kang-ho and Dae-young. However, if the negotiations were successful, the two sides readily agreed.
Within each company, the arguments of the opposition were not formidable. All were the opinions of those who were bitten by the pharaohs.
Cha Jun-ki of Daeyoung Group and Kang Min-tae and Kang Min-gyu of Kangho Group were also busy trying to close the hole of stolen money.
As the gap slowly opened up, several people came to the other side with such information.
Even now, Hwaryeong left the office for a while to take care of those guys. Those who were betrayed and anxious were rushing out saying they were sorry because they had to read through it in a hurry.
I turned off the news that played the same thing as if it was injecting the same content and searched for articles on my cell phone. Again, the articles on the portal had the same tone as the TV news.
On the contrary, there were quite a few knights who showed their hostility outright.
“The counterattack of foreign capital! Will the Korean economic ecosystem collapse like this?”
“Junk Fund G Company. Swallow the Republic of Korea by partnering with national capitalists.”
“The Republic of Korea is sick with speculative capital that tries to eat 200 trillion won a year in the market.”
He wrote novels with endless numbers and developments. It was a situation where such provocative articles almost eroded the top of the portal.
“But what else is this?”
The articles were critical articles in a harsh tone, but the photos were all unified by Linda. It also brought a pictorial from Daeyoung Department Store to further enhance her beauty.
In addition, the advertisement column of the article was covered with advertisements for a special sale of Daeyoung Department Store. The article’s comments were mostly ‘You’re pretty!’, except for the comments of part-timers in the comments.
This fall’s issue in Korea was definitely Linda’s. In the economic aspect, as the head of G Company, and in the fashion and trend aspects, articles about her beauty, fashion, and wealth were lined up.
“Wow! Dressing up like this, you look like a completely different person…?”
Even Cheol-woo admired the advertisement photos like Linda’s pictorial. She usually wears dark make-up, but when she wears Korean-style transparent makeup, she creates a completely different atmosphere.
Her skin, which was very transparent and smooth for her thin white skin, was covered with Korean makeup, so there was no other elf. The more she imagined, the more she knew the feel and scent of her skin, the more her breathing became rough.
“Oh! I want to see Linda.”
First of all, I came here to meet Chairman Cha. It was very rude to think of another woman while meeting someone who might become a family member.
An unusual title caught his eye as he hurriedly turned over the article.
「The strange logics of the Korean media related to the Pharaoh Resort?」
The article, which received quite a few views, had the name ‘New York Asia Seoul bureau reporter Jeong Shi-hyeon’ engraved on it.
The article was discussing the strange behavior of the media surrounding the Pharaoh Resort, as well as the forces behind it and the suspicious funds. Although the tone was a bit vague as if conscious of public opinion, the reaction of the comments was not bad either.
Rather, it stood out more because it was among the articles that seemed to have copied and pasted only the same articles. And above all, the Korean article titled ‘NYT’ made it seem objective.
“You are doing a good job. Huh!”
After reading the article, Cheol-woo was satisfied. He was the one who recommended the writing of the article to the NYT.
My relationship with him started with Dain. A paparazzi who lost consciousness several times after being caught by Cheol-woo while following Da-in was Jung reporter.
It was impressive to see her persistently following her on such a topic. So, she even leaked the corruption of Incheon Mayor to reporter Jeong.
Of course, reporter Jung did not know who gave the source of the article. You wouldn’t even know who Cheolwoo is…
shudder! wide open!
“Sorry, am I late?”
“no! It’s very late.”
Hwaryeong rushed into his office. He was forced to do a job that wasn’t there because of unexpected surrenders.
“Sheesh! It’s a bit late to say that…”
“I’m sorry, just come and hug me. Don’t make any fuss.”
When Cheol-woo opened his arms wide, she quickly embraced him. She took a deep breath as she buried her face in his chest.
“Hmm! The smell of my man. Also the best!”
“I came in a hurry, so I didn’t wash today…”
“tooth! Breaking the mood…”
Although she was exceptionally clean, she did not leave her arms despite Cheol-woo’s words. Rather, she digs deeper as she grabs his waist with her arms and she digs deeper.
But that atmosphere didn’t last long. Secretary Kim knocked and after a while, the door was carefully opened.
“what? If you want to come in, you have to come quickly.”
“Just in case. Ho Ho!”
Secretary Kim sneaked in, raising her black horn-rimmed glasses. Then, seeing the two of them standing, they smiled sly.
“What else is that expression on?”
“I thought I might have disturbed the good times… Ho Ho!”
“Does anyone know that?”
“If you want to be on time for your appointment, you have to change clothes first.”
Secretary Kim replied back and forth to her words. In Cheol-woo’s eyes, it looked like an old virgin, who could not be married, taking care of her younger sister.
“Okay, let’s bring some clothes in.”
“yes! Wait a moment···.”
Secretary Kim clapped her hand, and the secretaries below her came in with a wheeled coat hanger. Half of the clothes were men’s suits for Cheolwoo, and the rest were clothes for Hwaryeong.
After that, clothes hangers came in one after another. He then filled the room with small props and accessories such as ties.
“What is this, you stole the whole department store?”
“You don’t know who I am? This department store is all mine. I can do this for my boyfriend.”
She lifted her shoulders and giggled. But she was in a position to be as she is now.
The clothes hanging on the hangers were all luxury goods. Literally, it was as if the entire luxury hall had been moved.
“The luxury store is completely empty, so these are all new products. You know that luxury department stores are leading the industry these days. That’s why we brought in only the highest quality. Jang Cheol-woo, you! Say it’s an honor. Ho Ho!”
Showing off her clothes and secretly showing off her abilities, she put her arms around him and dragged him in front of the hanger. The secretaries who even came in with a portable full-length mirror said hello and went out.
“Do you really need to do this in the office?”
“Then, why don’t you go on a pilgrimage to the department store with your arms folded? They would say that only giraffes are good…”
“…and that’s it again.”
“Don’t talk, come here and stand. Cody only trusts this older sister. Come on kid!”
Her eyes twinkled and she urged. She had an excited expression on her face, as if she were a girl with a new doll in front of her.
“Oh my, look at this fit! How···.”
“Ac, Secretary Kim! I can’t let go of that hand, why do other men’s breasts keep fluttering?”
“Oh my, when did I do that? I don’t have time, so I was just trying to help…”
“Okay, step aside!”
“Sheesh! Yusei is… Where would you be embarrassed to live without a boyfriend?”
Again, this was her doll play time. She added Secretary Kim, who saw Cheol-woo’s body, and she was treated as two women’s toys.
I had to change clothes without hesitation, and I had to go round and round and listen to their reviews.
With hazy eyes, they were busy moving in search of more stimulating things.
“Stop it now. You say you don’t have time…?”
“Shh! stay still Because I will confirm my man’s style.”
“Well, what he wears is what defines him. A business man compromising a suit is like a knight going into battle without armor.”
The two women clashed and were absorbed in getting dressed. It was already an attitude that he didn’t care about other things.
Cheol-woo, who was slowly starting to get tired, shook his head. As I had felt before, a woman’s shopping power was far beyond the warrior’s ability to manage.
[I agree. I’m sorry, but…]
For some reason, the warrior’s voice seemed to have lost its strength.
“The president is inside. Come this way···.”
Arrived on time for my appointment. Thanks to her, her driver broke some of her tickets.
The sound of her high heels rang in her ears. Despite the uproar, she eventually decided to wear her first clothes.
I wonder why he made such a fuss while saying this…
“Nice to meet you. Are we in the first place? Let me sit there right now. haha!”
Chairman Cha, dressed in a gold gown, welcomed the two. He made a fuss and picked out clothes, but his opponent was really comfortable.
If it wasn’t for her father, Cheol-woo wouldn’t even have such a formality. Anyway, since it was the first time we met, his idea was to go on a good note.
“Did the food fit in your mouth?”
“Yes, it was a French dish I ate in a while, so it was fun.”
“like! Have you ever enjoyed French food before?”
After finishing the meal for the guests, Chairman Cha drank tea and glanced at it. I looked through all the information about Cheolwoo, but there was nothing as special as what I had heard.
Rather, the specs playing below the normal reference point puzzled him. Under these conditions, it was impossible to even apply for a job at Daeyoung Group.
“It was not such a luxurious meal. Have you ever just eaten French popular food often?”
“Have you ever studied abroad in France?”
“I just did a short-term part-time job.”
Hwaryeong also made an interesting expression when he first heard of Cheol-woo’s past. He prided himself on knowing Chul-woo’s abilities better than anyone else, but he didn’t know much about his past.
He seduced his younger brother Ji-eun and asked him questions, but the more he listened, the more confused he became. Thanks to her, she learned more about how her ordinary siblings lived up to each other, but…
“Where did you work?”
“Just everywhere. Paris, Lebanon, Guiana, etc…”
“Guiana, where else are you?”
“I’m in South America. French territory above Brazil.”
“What did you do there?”
“It’s hard to just pick it up. In places where infrastructure or supplies are scarce, you have to take care of the supply itself. I had to run all over the place because I had to be self-sufficient for everything in life.”
Cheol-woo turned around saying it was nothing. There are few countries in the world that a famous mercenary has not been to.
In order to work in that area, of course, I had to adapt to the food of that country. Because there is no mercenary who packs a lot of food just because it doesn’t fit.
I ate French combat food until I got tired of it. There was quite a variety, but the dried foods centered on the sauce were sweet and salty.
I went to a high-end restaurant to find my taste buds after a few days, but the sauce was sweet and salty. Dishes to suit the taste of Koreans were not as diverse as they were known to the world.
Of course, the food they boasted only suited their taste. Knowing that, he didn’t put much trust in fame.
Just because it’s famous and expensive doesn’t mean it’s all delicious. That’s why I just said ‘it was fun’.
However, Chairman Cha was very satisfied with his words. The words he just uttered fit his taste.
“haha! Yes, you are right! Young people these days don’t know the world well. How many countries in the world have good infrastructure like Korea? You can’t really get to know the society just by traveling. If you don’t see your shortcomings, you can’t survive.”
Chairman Cha, who seemed to have seen something from Cheol-woo, turned his attention to Hwaryeong. The couple, who had not spoken to each other even though they were together, met their eyes for the first time.
“You stay out for a while! I have something to share just the two of us.”
At the words of Chairman Cha, her eyes narrowed. Cheol-woo’s hand came up on her knee as she was about to get angry.
