106 – Episode 106
“Minnie!!”
“Miaooooong!!!”
After our trip, we had a touching reunion with Mini.
“Seoya?”
“…I suddenly started hating people”
I also did group work, which was very difficult.
“Jihoon?”
“Huh?”
“Why do you see the animal kingdom at night?”
“There is something like that.”
There were situations where I almost got into big trouble.
“Did you sleep well, Jihoon?”
I was still living well with Seo-ah and Oh Sun-do.
“Yes, you slept well too, right?”
“Of course, I tried some light toast today, how about it?”
“I like everything Seo-ah does”
“Yeah~?”
“Get ready quickly and let’s go”
“Okay”
I’m planning to stop by my uncle’s company today because I have some business to do.
“At first, I thought it was a general shareholders’ meeting.”
“Uh… Uncle’s general shareholders’ meeting is in March.”
Oh, is that so..?
“Isn’t that when I’m not around anyway?”
“Huh? Why”
“Why am I in the military?”
“…”
“Seoya?”
“Should I try to get pregnant right now?”
“I have to stand…”
What do you mean?
It’s almost time for me to go to the military, and Ginny Seo-ah sometimes shows anxiety.
She hasn’t really fallen, and even if she did, it was only within a week.
“I think it’s just a moment”
“..How can two years be such a short time?”
“You can even go on vacation.”
“Can you go on vacation for a year?”
“That’s called desertion.”
“Hey..”
I comforted Seo-ah and wore her clothes.
“If you go… What should I do?”
“It’ll be okay. I’m not disappearing forever.”
“Still.. I can’t call you or meet you… “
“If you’re having a hard time, just write a letter and I’ll reply if I can.”
“Yeah.. Okay.”
So Seo-ah got ready and we left for her uncle’s company.
My uncle’s company was located in Pangyo, the mecca of Korea’s IT industry.
Seo-ah and I tried to tell her, but she said it was already after Techno Valley was created and how her uncle got into it.
In the first place, my uncle’s company grew to become a fairly large semi-firm through overseas investment and M&A.
“Isn’t this going to be bigger than our future?”
There is a difference between large companies in Korea and large companies that are famous overseas.
At that level, I think we will now become a multinational company beyond a large corporation.
“Then are we also a chaebol family?”
“Seoya, we are still a chaebol family”
Just a hidden rich person
People in Korea may not know much about it, but surprisingly, there are quite a few rich people.
There are people who make money not just as businessmen, but as landowners, homeowners, stockholders, famous families, etc.
There are quite a lot of people who make money, including judges, prosecutors, doctors, lawyers, and analysts.
“Hmm.. So Ji-hoon’s family are secretly rich?”
“Well.. It’s more than just that, it’s a split rich person.”
Because we are not rich, but our grandfather was rich.
My father and uncle each earned their own money, so we lived well when I married Seo-ah, but my grandfather passed away and gave away all his wealth to society, so the rest of the family probably went from being a chaebol to being middle class.
“I can feed Jihoon even if he is poor!”
In some ways, wouldn’t Seo-ah do well?
“Well, that won’t happen, we’re also a chaebol.”
Since we knew the future, we copied the money with the assets we had accumulated.
“Okay, let’s go first.”
I came out and took the subway to the company where her uncle was.
“How long does it take from here?”
“1 Hour?”
“Eh..”
“Because I turned around and left.”
And most of the people who live there live nearby.
So I went to her uncle’s company while looking at Seo-ah and her cell phone.
“Are you here?”
“Yes, it’s here”
People were busy walking around in this place where tall buildings were concentrated.
“If it were the weekend, would there have been many people?”
“Hmm.. Then wouldn’t it be less?”
Since this is an entire company, there aren’t many people unless you’re a poor office worker who comes to work on the weekend.
“So where is your company?”
“Uh…”
I didn’t know much, so I ended up searching on the Internet.
“Ah, here it is”
“I told you to remember it well.”
“No… I thought it would look good since it was big anyway.”
We entered my uncle’s company, EJH. For your information, those initials mean Lee Jang-hoon.
“Then…now”
I called my uncle
“Hmm..”
While Seo-ah was curiously looking around the company, I called my uncle, but he did not answer.
“Are you busy…?”
“Why don’t you accept it?”
“Uh..”
From Noble mtl dot com
After thinking about it, I headed to the information desk.
“Hello there?”
“Okay, how can I help you?”
“Well.. I was supposed to meet with the chairman.”
“Uh.. Wait a minute, what’s your name?”
“It’s Lee Ji-hoon.”
“Uhm… Sorry, you are not on the reservation list..”
“Uh..”
No uncle..?
“Well.. Then can you leave a message?”
“Uh..Yeah, do you have a business card?”
“No, I don’t have that, just tell me my nephew is here.”
“Yes? Now… just a moment.”
The receptionist at the information desk quickly picked up the phone and made a call.
“Yes yes.. Hello.. I heard that the chairman’s nephew is here..”
After a while
“Oh, sorry, you can go up.”
“Uh.. What is it, where should I go up?”
“Yes?”
“Yes?”
I was rudely guided upstairs and came up to the president’s office.
“You can go in”
If something happens like this, I can’t get in, I get angry because they block me, and then my uncle just appears and I thought they would show me the story, but as expected, the reality was different and they said they were family, so they uploaded it right away.
“Oh, welcome~”
My uncle welcomed us from a very nice chair, just like the president.
“Uncle, why aren’t you answering the phone?”
“Ah… Just sleep”
My uncle checked his cell phone once and made a noise.
“I didn’t see it~”
“So why did we call you?”
“I called you guys to buy you food.”
“…This far?”
“hehehe, let’s do this first”
Uncle pointed to a bundle of documents.
“Seo, won’t you help your husband’s family as they are having a hard time?”
“Uh..Yeah..?”
Seo-ah looked at me and her uncle alternately with a blank expression on her face.
“Do you want me to give a presentation?”
“Well.. Sorry, I’ll explain in detail.”
Her uncle tried investment and M&A with the information he received from Seo and was successful, but this time, the investor said he called Seo-ah to resolve the issue due to the ambiguous reaction of the directors.
“No.. What does Uncle Seo-ah know?”
“No, you’re so smart?! “How can I resist this when they tell me about great stocks and companies that I have never seen before!?”
It’s true that Seo-ah is smart, but… Can she do something like this?
When I saw Seo-ah, she lowered her head as if Seo-ah was nervous too.
“Uncle, do you have any data?”
“..Huh? “Is this… right?”
“Can I see it? Also, please give me the company data and the accounting analysis sheets for this year and last year.”
Seo Ah said that and started looking at her documents.
“Uh… Do you know what Seoya is?”
“It’s been a while since I last saw you, but I can do this much.”
“…Really?”
“Yes, Jihoon, can you help me organize this?”
So Seo-ah cleaned things up with me a few times.
“I’ve done everything here, including analysis data, investment status, and market research.”
“You…Did all this?”
“Yes, you have all the data anyway.”
“That’s true, but isn’t this enough to convince you?”
“That’s why uncle needs to have confidence.”
“My..Me?”
“Yes, just like I have always been confident thanks to Jihoon, you should do the same, uncle.”
“…Oh, I understand.”
“And even if I give a presentation, its credibility will be low, so the chairman should come forward personally.”
“…Jihoon, do you think Seoah wants to come to our company? Don’t you?”
“I can’t give it to Seo-ah.”
“Ah…No, do you like our company? “I heard you were selected as one of the top 50 companies this time?”
“No”
“…I was abandoned”
Why are you being abandoned?
“Anyway, please don’t make it any harder for Seo-ah and buy me something to eat.”
“Tch, you didn’t do anything”
“Just being next to Seo-ah is enough help.”
“That’s right!”
He laughed out loud when he saw the two of us.
“Okay, okay, lovebird couple, let’s go. Uncle will buy you meat as a thank you!”
A long time ago, during a conversation between Seo-ah and I, we said something like this.
“What are you going to do when I leave?”
“..Why!? What did I do wrong? Ah…No, where are you going? “I want to go too”
“Oh..No, just don’t..Just in case.”
“No way!! “I will be by your side!!”
It was also the moment when I realized that I was really important to Seo-ah.
In a way, it was an obsession, but it wasn’t that bad and it wasn’t too much.
Really, I just need to be next to Seo-ah.
But now…
“Huh..Don’t go…”
Finally, as December passed and January came, I had to go to the military.
“Is there really no other way? “Either you can get out with money… ah… or some other way…”
“You know very well that you can’t do it, Seo-ya…”
I stroked Seo-ah’s head.
“It’s hard, but it’s also a place where people live. Do well.”
Dad was more worried about Seo-ah than he was about me.
“We will take good care of Seo-ah.”
“Seo-ah is not a child… “
“You’re crying like this, baby.”
The pretty face I knew was all ruined and she was holding me while crying.
“I’ll have a good trip, think carefully about what I said.”
“Yes…”
I heard a voice calling for the residents from behind.
“Then.. I’ll come back.”
“Jihoonaaa”
So I joined the army
