The stocks Eric received from Nam-Sik Jo along with the stocks Eric continues to collect in the US.
And even the stocks that I collected a lot during the ‘Cho Hee-chang Gate’ incident.
It was the total amount of shares of Myungsung Electronics that Hoyoung had collected so far.
Of course, the amount was still increasing as Eros continued to buy and accumulate stocks.
Jo Nam-shik’s primary plan was simple.
It is to hold a shareholders’ meeting by enlisting representatives of relatives and affiliates who have stocks to share with them.
The main purpose of the shareholders’ meeting must be to oust Jo Jung-sik from the position of president and to sit in the position himself.
The cause remained in the garage.
Recently, the home appliance field, which Jo Jung-sik was in charge of, was sluggish without any excuse, whereas the semiconductor he was in charge of was still on the rise.
Myungsung Electronics’ market capitalization was able to exceed 3 trillion won thanks to the world’s first 256 mega DRAM, so there was nothing more to say.
If Cho Nam-sik becomes the owner of Myeongseong Electronics again, it is clear that Myeongseong Electronics will grow at a much steeper pace than now.
Ho-young had already experienced it in his previous life, so he already knew how well he could grow his reputation.
To tell you the truth, Hoyoung is also the largest shareholder with a whopping 33.5% of stocks.
Myungsung Electronics’ market capitalization exceeded 3 trillion won, and the Myungsung stock he owned was worth 1 trillion won.
If Jo Nam-sik properly nurtures Myeongseong-electronics, Ho-yeong will be able to earn a huge amount of money that ordinary people would never even think of.
However···.
“Isn’t that funny?”
Hoyeong picked up the phone with a smile on her face.
The person on the phone is, of course, Jo Jung-sik.
He decided to show mercy to poor Jo Jung-shik, who was unaware of the situation.
A few signals went through, and Jo Jung-sik answered the phone.
“Hello boss, how are you?”
– hello? Mr. Hoyoung? Long time no see. How have you been?
“I was fine. Maybe it’s because I’m a simple office worker, and I go back and forth as the company tells me to do. How is the boss?”
Jo Jung-sik still did not know in his dreams that Ho-yeong was the owner of Gaia.
I only know him as the company’s Asian investment manager.
That’s why Jo Jung-sik accepted Ho-young’s words that he was busy without much thought.
– It’s always the same. It’s always to die for.
“Oh, is something going on?”
– It’s not like that, it’s because home appliance sales aren’t as good as I thought.
Cho Jung-sik said in a voice full of anticipation.
He is looking forward to seeing if Ho-yeong, who justly gets a call, has a great idea.
Hoyoung barely managed to hold back the laughter that almost came out.
It was hard to hold back a laugh at the thought that Jo Jung-sik might think he was a very lucky person now.
“Aha···. Is that so? Let’s talk about this and that after a long time, shall we meet again?”
– Thank you for your time. I’ll treat you to dinner. Do you remember the restaurant we met last time?
“Ah, are you referring to that restaurant on Mt. Cheonggye?”
– That’s right. This time, let me give you a charter.
Ho-young felt burdened by the restaurant, but he did not show it.
“good. Will you be okay tomorrow evening?”
– It’s perfect. See you tomorrow then.
Hoyeong hung up the phone and called Miru through the intercom.
“Chief. Do you have an appointment for tomorrow evening?”
“Tomorrow’s dinner… There is not. What are you doing?”
“It has been a while since I decided to meet President Jo Jung-sik. At that restaurant on Mt. Cheonggye.”
Miru nodded.
“That’s what you’re talking about there. Okay. Just in case, should I tell Assistant Manager Kim Jeong-gi that I will be working overtime tomorrow evening?”
“Thank you if you do.”
“All right.”
Miru slightly bowed her head to say hello to Hoyoung and hesitated as she was about to leave the chairman’s office.
“Ah, Chairman. By the way···.”
“Do you have anything to say?”
“yes. Do you have any plans for the evening the day after tomorrow instead of tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow?”
Hoyoung said while checking the desk calendar.
“No, nothing happened.”
“Then I thought it might be okay to leave work a little earlier that evening.”
“What time is it early?”
“I wanted you to leave at 6 o’clock sharp…”
Hoyeong laughed as if it was absurd.
“Aren’t you leaving work on time at 6?”
“It is.”
“But what early is that? You’re going on time.”
Hoyoung giggled at Miru, who couldn’t answer, and continued.
“Is it because of Kim Hee-jin?”
Miru’s eyes widened.
“How do you do that…”
“There is a way to know everything. They say you two meet very often these days.”
“greatness. Not so terribly often.”
Miru’s cheeks were slightly red as she answered.
“haha. You don’t have to hide it. Are you planning to eat it that evening?”
“yes···. That’s right.
“Will you just take a day off the day after tomorrow?”
“Oh, there is no need for that.”
“no. Have you been on vacation for a long time? No, since you are going on vacation, how about taking two days instead of one day?”
Miru waved her hands with a troubled expression.
“There really is no need for that.”
“Hmm···. These are my work orders. Take two days off.”
Miru continued not knowing what to do, but finally nodded.
“All right. I will come to rest well.”
Hoyoung smiled happily.
Then, he took an envelope from the drawer and handed it to Miru.
“What is this?”
“Freeze it.”
Miru was surprised again.
“What money is this?”
“Even so, I wanted to give you a bonus, our manager. I’ve been keeping it for a long time, but now I’m giving it to you.”
“With the salary the president gives me, my garage is already overflowing. Since I don’t have anything to spend money on, I’ve been saving it, so the money I’ve saved is pretty good.”
“That’s the money the manager earned through hard work. This is literally a bonus. please accept this.”
Hoyeong said in a tone of request to Miru.
Miru knew better than anyone else that it would be very difficult to reverse what Hoyeong had decided once.
Moreover, when I was making that expression, it was harder than usual.
“I’m really fine… thank you.”
Miru had no choice but to accept the money.
“Use it when dating comfortably.”
Seemingly satisfied now, Hoyoung grinned.

evening the next day.
Hoyeong was having a meal with Jo Jung-sik at a restaurant in Mt. Cheonggye.
“According to Mr. Hoyeong, what I need to do first is to hire a foreign designer.”
“That’s right. Unfortunately, the sense of Korean designers is lacking. In ten years, we can catch up with famous foreign designers, but not yet.”
Jo Jung-sik nodded as if he had gained a great realization.
From some point on, Hoyeong thought that Jo Jung-sik would believe him even if he said that he was making fermented soybeans with red beans.
“And, it would be nice if more creative features were added.”
“What if it’s a creative function?”
“I heard that they made a small home bar on the door of the refrigerator that can be opened from the outside so that simple drinks can be taken out without having to open the door.”
“ah!”
Jo Jung-sik had an expression as if he had attained a great realization.
“It may seem trivial, but each and every one of these little things can make a good product.”
Jo Jung-sik was just listening, so he ordered his secretary to bring a pen and paper to write down what Ho-yeong was saying.
Hoyoung was surprised to see him being more serious than he thought.
Hoyoung thought that Jo Jung-sik was only interested in becoming the chairman of Myungsung Group and had no great interest in running Myeongseong Electronics.
However, the look he saw now seemed quite enthusiastic.
After a while.
After Hoyoung’s tutoring (?) was over, Jo Jung-sik was looking at Hoyoung with a very happy face.
It looked like he would listen to Hoyoung’s request no matter what.
Hoyeong thought that now was the right time, and opened her mouth.
“president. However, I have obtained one piece of information.”
“What information are you talking about?”
“Can I ask you this… Because it can be a bit sensitive.”
Jo Jung-sik’s expression, which had been a pleasant expression, was suddenly enveloped in anxiety.
“What is it about?”
“This is information that a shareholders’ meeting will be held at the beginning of the year.”
Jo Jung-sik’s expression softened at Ho-young’s words.
“Oh, what else am I saying? Usually around this time, the shareholders’ meeting is held. It’s no big deal.”
“I am not talking about the regular general meeting. Aside from that, I am going to make a surprise announcement and tell you about the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting to be held.”
“I beg your pardon? I···. It’s something I’ve never heard of.”
Jo Jung-sik frowned.
Hoyoung said with a very worried expression.
“Then you haven’t even heard of the agenda of the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting?”
“The agenda… What is it?”
“It is about the dismissal of the president.”
“I beg your pardon!”
bang-
Cho Jung-shik screamed and jumped up from his seat.
And the chair fell over in the aftermath, but nobody cared.
“The dismissal of the president…”
“I’m not saying this because I didn’t hear it properly! whoever···. Could it be Father?”
“As far as I know, the president is also included in the agreement.”
“If you are a consenter, are you not a motioner? If so, the proponent… Namsik… Are you Jo Nam-sik?”
Hoyoung nodded instead of answering.
bang!
Cho Jung-sik couldn’t beat the minute and banged the desk.
Plates still full of food were overturned by the impact.
Hoyeong sat quietly and watched Jo Jeongsik without saying anything.
Jo Jung-sik gasped vigorously and breathed heavily, then finally came to his senses as if Ho-yeong, who was looking at him, had caught his eye.
“after···. sorry. You showed off your ugly side.”
“it’s okay. I can fully understand.”
“First, let’s find out if that’s true. Thank you for good information. I will never forget today’s reward.”
Jo Jung-sik, perhaps feeling impatient, tried to go outside as he stood up.
However, Hoyoung called Jo Jungsik with a relaxed expression.
“president. I think I can help you with this one too.”
“I beg your pardon?”
Jo Jung-sik looked at Ho-yeong with an expression that he did not understand.
He thought it was a matter inside the group, so he tried to negotiate with Jo Nam-shik.
However, Hoyeong had Jo Jung-sik’s impatience in mind.
“How much Myungsung Electronics shares do you have now?”
“You mean that? I have 10.8%.”
“You have quite a lot. Then things might be easier than you think.”
Hoyoung said as she leisurely touched the table with her hand.
“Then do you know how many electronic stocks Myungsung Corporation owns?”
It was impossible for Jo Jung-sik to memorize such a thing.
Jo Jung-sik glanced at his secretary and said as if he had been waiting for him.
“It is 4.3%. president.”
“It’s good. And what about fame and life?”
Hoyoung asked the secretary.
“Prestige Life holds 1.5%.”
Hoyoung claps! and hit
“Oh, coincidentally, it turned out like this, as if someone had knitted it. president. Didn’t you say before that Myeongseong Products and Myeongseong Life are the president’s garden?”
“So what are you going to do? Combined, that’s only 16.6%. This is an amount that far surpasses even if only the father, the son, and the relatives are gathered together.”
Hoyeong raised her index finger to him and waved it left and right.
“I think you’re forgetting something right now?”
“What is it?”
“Gaia Investment is a huge shareholder in Myungsung Electronics. I own a whopping 33.5% of stock.”
As if Jo Jung-sik hadn’t expected it, his eyes turned on so much that they seemed to pop out.
And Jo Jung-sik, who thought of the sum of these numbers in his head, changed his face, which had been full of anger until now, into a face full of hope.
