179. face to face (2)
“It’s Yun Ho-young!”
click-click-
Flash!
Hoyoung, who entered the airport after completing immigration procedures, couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
It was because numerous reporters were shooting flashes at him.
“what···. It’s like being a celebrity.”
Hoyoung smiled dejectedly and said.
The first emotion that came to me in an unexpected situation was ‘absurd’.
“Yoon Ho-young! May I ask for an interview?”
“After ECEC, you have been in the US for over two weeks. Can you tell us what you have been doing during that time?”
Reporters constantly asked Ho-young questions.
At first, Miru couldn’t grasp the situation, but then she came to her senses.
“President. If you don’t have time for an interview, I’ll leave.”
“yes. Please do so.”
Reluctantly, Hoyeong and Miru refused all interpersonal responses and passed through the crowd with their bodies.
‘Didn’t I ask people to stay out?’
Miru regretted not calling the company’s security team to the airport because Hoyeong preferred to move lightly.
It would be nice to have a car at the airport gate, but unfortunately the car he came in was in the parking lot.
“President. Do you think those reporters will follow you to the parking lot?”
“Yes.”
Reporters were eager to include even one more picture of Hoyoung.
Hoyoung shook his head with a puzzled expression and barely made it to the road.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have had the car parked.”
“That’s right. As usual, Assistant Manager Kim Jeong-gi said he would come today, but I told him not to come.”
baang-
Then someone honked a car horn.
When Hoyeong and Miru looked back, a black luxury car was standing there.
Then the back window slid down, and Hoyoung’s familiar face came out.
“Mr. Hoyoung. I came at just the right time. Let’s get on.”
“president?”
The person in the luxury car was Jo Jung-sik.
“Chief Imiro also rides here. I will only drive you to the parking lot.”
“thank you.”
“Well···. All right.”
Ho-young happily got into Jo Jung-sik’s car, and Mi-ru followed Ho-young into the car.
“How did you get here?”
“I had something to see at the airport today. However, I stopped by here as well, wondering if it was time for you to come back just in time, but it just seemed like you were in trouble.”
Jo Jung-sik said it kindly, but Ho-yeong thought it was not a coincidence, but that Jo Jung-sik was waiting for him for some reason.
“haha. I guess that’s not all. Anything you want to say?”
Hoyoung did not hide such thoughts and expressed them.
Jo Jung-sik also looked at him with round eyes for a moment, then smiled blankly.
“As expected, I can’t fool Mr. Hoyeong’s eyes. Well, I didn’t mean it badly, I just said it out of fear of burdening you, so please understand.”
Hoyoung also said with a grin.
“What is the burden between us? I thought you didn’t feel as comfortable with me, so I said this.”
Jo Jung-sik smiled at Ho-young’s words, as if his mood had improved.
“Is that so? ha ha ha. Then I will tell you directly.”
“good.”
“My father misses Hoyoung very much.”
“father? Are you talking about the president?”
“That’s right. In fact, I told my father that Mr. Hoyoung would like to take over as product MD for Myungsung Electronics.”
“Product MD?”
Jo Jung-sik explained the conversation he had with his father to Ho-young, who had an expression that he did not know why.
And he even added that he would give 3% of sales.
Then Hoyeong waved her hand.
“Oops, no. It’s enough if I could be of help to the boss. Being an official MD is unreasonable. I don’t even have the ability to do that.”
Of course, Hoyoung didn’t really think this way.
If he jumped into white goods in earnest, he was confident that he would dominate the market within the next 10 years.
This is because Hoyoung had that much capital, and his ideas for AI-connected technology were limitless.
‘Why do I have to come up with my idea at Myeongseong Electronics…?’
However, since I couldn’t express my thoughts directly, I had to say it with a sense of humility.
“If Mr. Hoyoung doesn’t have ability, there probably won’t be a single person with ability in this world. Then, even if you think about MD matters later, can you meet your father once?”
“Why the hell did the president take me…”
Jo Jung-sik shrugged.
“That’s it, I don’t know. He’s my father, but he’s a nobleman who doesn’t know what’s inside.”
“All right. Let me think about it.”
“yes. I want you to think positively. You know, my dad doesn’t want to meet just anyone. Could you think about it by tomorrow afternoon and contact me?”
“All right. I will.”
Just in time, the car driven by Jo Jung-sik’s driver arrived in front of Ho-yeong’s car at the parking lot.
After confirming that Hoyoung had arrived through the window, he lightly greeted Jo Jungsik.
“Then, let’s go in today. I also have a lot of work to do. Thank you so much for your help today.”
“no. what did i do In any case, please call me tomorrow.”
“yes. Enough then.”
Hoyoung and Miru got out of Jo Jungsik’s car.
Jo Jung-sik disappeared as soon as they got off.
They opened his car door and sat down as they always did.
Miru is in the driver’s seat, and Hoyoung is in the back seat.
Miru started the engine and did not start, but turned her head and asked Hoyeong.
“President. Are you going to meet Chairman Heechang Cho?”
Miru asked in a worried voice.
“I didn’t answer Jo Jung-sik right away, but we should meet.”
“Is that so?”
“why. Are you worried?”
“Well···. It’s not that I’m worried about the president, but I’m sure…”
Procrastination blurted out.
Hoyoung smiled when he realized what he was worried about.
Miru realized at some point that Hoyeong had ill feelings towards Myeongseong electrons and Myeongseong group.
So, he was concerned that emotions would take precedence in the meeting between Ho-yeong and Chairman Cho Hee-chang.
Hoyoung hadn’t told him in detail, but it had been a long time since he knew that all of Hoyoung’s actions and actions so far were targeting Myungsung.
No, it would have been strange not knowing since they had been right next to each other like this for years.
“You don’t have to worry. In fact, to my surprise, I don’t feel anything.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. I met Bill Gates in the ECEC waiting room last week.”
“ah! It must have been because it was the next order.”
Hoyoung nodded.
He hadn’t told anyone about meeting Bill Gates there.
“Do you know why I am telling you this in the first place?”
“Why?”
“Really, I didn’t feel anything when I saw him.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. To be precise, it would be more accurate to say that I don’t care.”
Hoyeong laughed to herself and continued talking, as if what she said was funny.
“Pay attention, feel emotions. All of this has to be balanced to some degree. But after seeing Windows 95, I was convinced. Microsoft is no longer our opponent.”
“ah! therefore···.”
“yes. After thinking like that, Bill Gates, who seemed like a great mountain, was just a middle-aged man. Ah, a middle-aged man of a little more.”
Miru laughed.
Hoyoung’s attitude seemed genuinely relaxed.
“Bill Gates is also me who does not come into my eyes. Will I catch the eye of Chairman Cho Hee-chang?”
“No. Jo Hee-chang… You must be just an old man.”
“That’s it.”
Hoyoung smiled.
Miru also smiled embarrassed as if she thought she had heard a satisfactory answer as she slowly stepped on the accelerator.
‘It’s different if it’s Jo Nam-shik.’
However, there was one thing that Mi-ru did not know, that Ho-young had direct feelings for was Jo Nam-sik.
I didn’t like Myeongseong Electronics either, but I just thought of it as one of the things I should use now.
“Thank you for your concern. By the way, do you have any plans for tonight?”
“A promise? there is.”
“haha. Are you Heejin Kim?”
“That’s right. I couldn’t see you for 3 weeks, how holy it was. I had no choice but to see it tonight.”
“I told you to come to America with Sumin.”
Miru shrugged.
“I couldn’t help it because there was a shooting schedule.”
“okay. I can’t help it. Just don’t do that and take a few days off, right? When I go on a long business trip, I usually have to take a few days off. You should also consider the manager’s age.”
“How old are you?”
“yes. You are thirty this year. Don’t you know what you need to manage from now on? No matter how hard you manage, once you turn 30, you will be different from when you were in your 20s.”
“haha. Are you speaking as if you’ve been through it?”
Hoyeong was stunned, but did not respond to this question.
“Anyway, that’s not important, stop by the company for a bit today and take me home. I will call the deputy Kim Jeong-gi.”
“All right.”
Hoyoung and Miru laughed happily.
Mi-ru also knew that Ho-yeong’s kindness was truly for him, so she was not uncomfortable anymore.
No, on the contrary, he was well aware that refusing his favor would make Hoyeong more uncomfortable.
.
.
.
A week has passed since Hoyoung came to Korea.
In fact, Hoyeong didn’t have many things to do in Korea now.
H&H was run by the original members of the computer research society, such as Lee Jin-chan (although he fled to the United States) and Kim Jin-taek, and Hermes was tightly held by Kim Joo-jung.
Things went smoothly thanks to competent people who would be his arms and legs if Ho-young presented the big picture.
Thanks to this, Hoyoung was able to return to Korea and work a little more on the love business (?).
And, of course, I told Jo Jung-sik that I would meet Chairman Cho Hee-chang, and today was the day I decided to meet Cho Hee-chang.
Myungsung Group office building in Seocho-dong, Seoul.
Hoyoung looked up at the building in front of it.
It is the office building of the Myungsung Group, which would have looked endlessly high in the past, but for some reason, it felt as if the top of the building could be reached if you stretched out your hand.
Hoyoung entered the entrance accompanied by only two people, Miru and Kim Jeonggi.
“welcome···. hello. Hoyoung Yun. I will take you this way.”
As soon as he entered the first floor, a female employee at the information desk recognized him and greeted him.
Hoyeong was experiencing a lot of discomfort because her face was sold these days.
Even at the restaurant I used to go to, I recognized him again, and there were even people passing by and asking for his autograph.
That’s why I ended up going on dates with Ha Soo-min mostly in the car, not at restaurants or movie theaters.
‘You’ve really become more popular than me.’
When Hoyoung thought of Sumin Ha, who complained cutely, he laughed.
“If you wait here for a moment, someone will come down. Shall I prepare something to drink?”
“no. it’s okay. I think I’m going to go up to the president’s office anyway, not here, so let’s go up and drink. What.”
“All right.”
The female employee of the Myungsung Group, who took Hoyeong and the others to the luxurious-looking parlor, politely complained and left.
And after a while, someone opened the parlor door and came in.
“Mr. Hoyeong! did you come Shall we go right up? My father is waiting for you.”
“yes. how are you. president?”
“Haha I saw it a week ago. What?”
The person who came to pick up Hoyeong was Jo Jung-shik.
Since it was an event planned by him, he must have come down to it himself.
Hoyoung followed Jo Jungsik into the elevator.
It was a private elevator that went up to the top floor.
In the elevator going up the Jo Jeong-sik, I quietly talked to Ho-young.
“Mr. Hoyoung. I have one thing to say for your reference.”
“what is that?”
“Because my father is an old man. Maybe that’s why I hate arrogant people.”
“okay?”
“Of course, I don’t think that Mr. Hoyoung will do that, but I hope you will be careful when you say it.”
“All right.”
Cho Jung-sik smiled.
Apparently, it was because he thought his father would like Ho-yeong.
Ding Dong-
The elevator reached the top floor, and Hoyeong and Cho Jungsik entered the president’s office, which is directly connected to the elevator.
“President. I have brought you.”
Then the old man sitting on the sofa turned around.
Apparently, he had a good appearance not too long ago, but he seemed to be very dwarfed and unable to control his body, perhaps under the influence of a stroke.
The reason for sitting crookedly may be the aftereffects of the stroke.
“hello. President. My name is Yun Ho-young.”
“I have heard many stories. Are you so talented? It’s making a fuss in the newspapers and news these days.”
Jo Hee-chang spoke to Ho-young in half words.
It would have been more awkward for Hagi to say honorifics even if he was in the position of chairman of Myungsung Group in Korea and had a 50-year age difference.
“President. Mr. Yun Ho-young here is…”
“Get out.”
“yes?”
“Let’s talk the two of you. Get out.”
“Yep.”
Jo Jung-sik was in a bad mood, but he had no choice but to bow his head and leave.
Jo Hee-chang glared at Ho-young, who was standing there, for a long time.
Then he opened his mouth.
“You’ve been really busy up until now, Yun Ho-young? No, should I treat you as the same president? Because he is the president of Hermes. Not even that. Shall we treat you as a major shareholder of Myungsung Group? Hoyoung Yoon of Gaia Investment?”
Hoyeong made a surprised expression for a moment at Jo Hee-chang’s bony words.
‘I’m still a kid. You haven’t been through a lot of situations like this.’
Jo Hee-chang saw Ho-young’s expression and thought he had overcome Ho-young’s enthusiasm.
No matter how great a person he may be, I thought he would not have a lot of life experience.
A place called Myungsung Group’s chairman’s office, and casual conversation.
All of this was Cho Hee-chang’s intention to take the initiative in the conversation.
However, Hoyoung’s surprised expression quickly changed.
The corner of his mouth twitched, then he raised one corner of his mouth and made a mocking expression.
“What. You know everything, so I don’t have to explain, so it’s comfortable.”
“What?”
Hoyoung walked and sat down on the opposite side of the sofa where Jo Heechang was sitting.
And then I sat down with my legs crossed.
“Then, shall we talk in earnest?”
Cho Hee-chang could not immediately answer the unexpected situation.
There were three things he hadn’t even thought of.
The first is that Hoyoung was not a person in his 20s who lacked social experience, but a person with nearly 60 years of life.
and second.
The six years that Hoyoung spent in this life have accumulated experience points that ordinary people cannot experience even if it takes 20 years.
and the third last.
Compared to the giants Hoyoung has met over the past six years… Cho Hee-chang was just a grandfather with a little money.
