“This person was my mother.”
Choi Hye-na searched for someone on her laptop and showed the screen to Kim Cheol-soo.
A leather jacket, black pants, a white lace t-shirt, and messy permed hair.
Slightly raised eyes and sensual gestures.
He seemed to be someone who was active as a model and actor.
“My father sometimes told me that if I hadn’t died so young, I would have become quite famous. But what’s the use of it all? “He left me alone.”
Kim Cheol-soo looked closely at the photo that appeared on the screen.
Then Choi Hye-na snatched the laptop.
“What are you looking at so intently?”
“Ah, you are so beautiful.”
“You’re prettier than me, right?”
“That’s not it…”
“Hey, hey. “It’s a big problem to be so distracted in front of a beautiful woman.”
“Oh, it’s not like that!”
“What’s wrong! Tsk! “I’m upset.”
Kim Cheol-soo looked around, recalling what happened a few days ago.
People passing by fanning their hands on a tropical night.
As I quietly walked through the gap, I recalled a memory from a few days ago.
I thought she was only interested in expensive clothes and accessories, but in fact, Choi Hye-na’s favorite items had nothing to do with price.
When it comes to gifts to give to someone, you only choose expensive ones, but what you actually wear isn’t that kind of thing.
I bought it at small stores in the subway, and I also bought things sold from carts on the street.
Of course, I also bought expensive things at the department store.
After meeting with a business partner, Kim Cheol-soo visited a nearby workshop.
When I showed the printed photo, the elderly workshop owner looked at it carefully and nodded.
“That’s something that was popular a long time ago, so it might be hard to find, but I think I can make it. “I’ve made things in that style before.”
– There was a keepsake that my mother left behind. But she burned it all because no one came on her graduation day. I was so crazy too.
Choi Hye-na’s sad expression remained in Kim Cheol-soo’s memory for a long time.
“Then can I ask you one favor?”
“Because this is handmade, the price is…”
“Price doesn’t matter. “I hope you make it right.”
“It seems like an important item.”
“There are people who feel sorry for losing it.”
The old workshop owner glanced at Kim Cheol-su and asked.
“Do you want to propose?”
“Haha, yes.”
“All right. “Don’t worry about your stuff.”
“Yes, thank you.”
After paying the advance, Kim Cheol-soo walked down the street again.
Both parents have already met and it has been acknowledged that they are dating.
When Choi Hye-na opened her eyes in the morning, she wanted Kim Cheol-soo to be by her side.
It may be a bit early, but Kim Cheol-soo is starting to think about marriage.
These days, we’ve been so in love with each other that we feel anxious if we don’t see each other even for a day.
As I was returning to work, I received a call from Choi Hye-na.
– where are you?
– I’m on my way back after working for a while.
– I suddenly want to eat Chinese food!
– Shall I order it for you?
– no. I want to eat with someone I like.
– all right. I’ll go quickly.

When Executive Director Choi Young-jun called, Park Jun-hyung stood in front of the door with the sign “Jukbang” written on it.
When you open that door and enter, you really become Choi Young-jun’s person.
Riding Choi Young-jun’s line itself wasn’t a big problem, but thinking about Ahn Jung-gyu made me irritated.
The thought of continuing to argue with Ahn Jeong-gyu made me sigh.
However, his life was already in the hands of Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon.
And now I had to focus on making Choi Young-jun the chairman.
Only then will we be able to survive after Choi Kyung-hoon’s retirement.
‘If it weren’t for that damn bastard Ahn Jeong-gyu, I would have gotten in easily.’
Park Jun-hyung sighed lightly, adjusted his expression, opened the door, and went inside.
Sitting inside were Executive Director Choi Young-jun, Managing Director Yoo Young-sik, and Ahn Jeong-gyu.
“welcome.”
Choi Young-jun greeted him with a smile, but he couldn’t smile easily because Ahn Jeong-gyu was glaring at him.
Ahn Jeong-gyu also looked very dissatisfied with his face scrunched up.
Park Jun-hyung managed to bend down deeply and sit down in the seat that Choi Young-jun indicated.
Choi Young-jun smiled as he watched Park Jun-hyung and Ahn Jeong-gyu having a fierce snowball fight.
“Director Ahn.”
“yes···. “Director.”
“You told me this once, right?”

Ahn Jeong-gyu’s eyes turned to Choi Young-jun.
“If you two had grown up in different enclosures, you would have become good friends.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu recalled the Volkswagen incident.
Then he smiled bitterly and nodded.
“After being in different enclosures for nearly 7 years, I thought it would be a good idea to become friends now. Of course, it won’t be easy, but Director Park is now on the same boat as me…”
Choi Young-jun bowed his head deeply to Ahn Jeong-gyu.
“I hope to go along well.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu waved his hands in embarrassment, and Park Jun-hyung also tried to understand the situation in front of him.
‘Why does Han Young’s successor bow his head like that to a mere manager?’
**
– Knock knock.
“What happen?”
Late evening.
Yoo Ji-hoon, who was finishing his work, raised his head at the sound of a knock, and the secretary opened his mouth through the gap in the open door.
“The chairman has arrived. “This is a message that you have just arrived from the VIP parking lot.”
“Oh yeah?”
Yoo Ji-hoon quickly put on his suit coat and adjusted his half-loose tie.
will you marry me
As Choi Gyeong-hoon got out of the car using his cane, Yoo Ji-hoon bowed closely.
“Are you here? President.”
“okay. What did you come out for? “It will go up on its own.”
“no. President. “I have to take care of it.”
Yoo Ji-hoon tilted his head when he saw that Chief Secretary Baek Jun-seok, who accompanied Choi Kyeong-hoon to the company, was not by his side.
“Late in the evening…”
“I came because I wanted to see President Yu.”
“Did you have dinner?”
“To eat later. Let’s go in and have a chat. “I have something to talk about alone, so get rid of the people around you.”
“yes. President.”
Yoo Ji-hoon suddenly saw the briefcase in the chairman’s hand and tried to hold it instead.
“are you okay. “I’m old, but I can lift this much.”
As I followed Choi Gyeong-hoon, who was walking slowly with a cane, I contacted the secretary and told her to prepare the VIP room.
Choi Kyung-hoon opened his mouth while walking down the street with Yoo Ji-hoon.
“Do you know the term ‘seven lines and seven laws’?”
“yes. President. “Isn’t this the story of how Zhuge Liang let Meng Huo go seven times in order to catch him?”
“huh. As expected, there is nothing President Yu doesn’t know. “It took me a while to find it.”
“no. President.”
The two got into the elevator, and Choi Kyung-hoon asked vaguely.
“Do you remember how many times I turned a blind eye to your misconduct?”
Coincidentally, it was number 7.
“yes. President. “It’s number 7.”
“You did it once when you were a manager, once when you were a manager, twice when you became an executive, and three times after you became president. “I was constantly picking up different pockets.”
Yoo Ji-hoon couldn’t figure out why he was suddenly bringing up this story, so he just lowered his head.
“sorry. President.”
“Yes, number 7. Have you ever wondered why I turned a blind eye to your misconduct?”
“……I do not know. President.”
– Ding dong.
When Choi Kyung-hoon got off the elevator, he pressed his cane to the ground and headed toward the VIP reception room.
Yoo Ji-hoon said as we entered the VIP reception room.
“I will bring you a Ssanghwacha.”
“no. “I don’t think anything hot should be in front of me today.”
“…….All right.”
Yoo Ji-hoon had the feeling that something was strangely wrong, but he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
“What did you do by staying up this late?”
“It stayed for a while because of the convertible bond issuance.”
“Is it going well?”
“yes. Investors’ response to Hanyoung Trading Company is quite positive. I think we can sell private bonds up to the target amount. “Once we have the funds, we will be able to do what the president wants.”
“As expected, there is nothing that cannot be left to President Yu.”
“I’m embarrassed. President.”
Choi Gyeong-hoon sat on the sofa with both hands on his cane and looked at Yoo Ji-hoon sitting across from him for a long time.
Yoo Ji-hoon, who had served him for nearly 30 years, was just confused as to why the chairman was acting like this every day.
“Whenever I met you, we always talked about the future.”
“yes. President.”
“Today we have to talk about our past.”
A pain that felt like it was stabbing through the heart penetrated Yoo Ji-hoon’s mind.
“Let’s go back 27 years. When that incident happened. I don’t know if I revealed it, but I’ve always been suspicious of you. “You really didn’t do this, right?”
“yes. President.”
Secretary Baek Jun-seok did not accompany him, and he came to see him alone late at night.
And although I clearly knew what it meant to suddenly bring up the past, I could not change the past that I had denied for 27 years with a single word.
Because that means denying your entire life.
Choi Kyung-hoon took out an old CD player from his bag and played it.
The moment Yoo Ji-hoon heard a young voice coming from the speaker attached to the CD player, he felt his blood rush.
It was the voice of Assistant Manager Kim Jeong-seok, who died in the accident.
A shock sound was heard and screams poured out, and Yoo Ji-hoon started shaking from his hands and feet, and soon his whole body trembled and he fell to his knees on the floor.
‘Jang Deok-hwan, you bastard!’
Yoo Ji-hoon conciliated Jang Deok-hwan, who survived the accident.
I was dying to elevate an incompetent guy to executive level, but I had no choice but to shut him up.
But I never thought it would have such a dagger in it!
“Are you my father-in-law? “Who ordered this?”
The fact that Chief Secretary Baek Jun-seok was not accompanied meant that the chairman already knew everything.
“yes···. President.”
Choi Kyung-hoon closed his eyes, opened them again, and looked at Yu Ji-hoon closely.
Yoo Ji-hoon, 58 years old, has already turned gray and has as many wrinkles on his face as he does.
Choi Kyung-hoon let out a long sigh, then took something out of his arms and threw it in front of Yoo Ji-hoon.
It was a dagger with a handle marked
And the coldest look in the Chairman’s eyes that I’ve ever seen before.
Yoo Ji-hoon was fully aware of what the silent chairman was asking for.
I grabbed the dagger with trembling hands, but I couldn’t do it.
It was the 21st century, and he thought these demands were too much, but he couldn’t get the words out of his mouth because of what he had done.
‘I’d rather be the chairman!’
Yu Ji-hoon approached Kyung-hoon Choi holding a dagger, and Kyung-hoon Choi opened his mouth as he saw Yoo Ji-hoon standing silently in front of him for a long time.
“You don’t have the guts to wield that dagger.”
After saying that, Choi Kyung-hoon took out an old cassette tape from his briefcase and played it.
– I can’t do it. Elderly. How can I kill a child? I can’t do it. Elderly! Just beat me to death!!!
Yoo Ji-hoon dropped the dagger he was holding with a tired, bleached-white face and knelt down again.
Younghwan Cho had a lot of demands.
They told him to kill all those who survived the accident.
When Choi Hye-na was born, they ordered her to be killed.
“It must have been about 10 years ago. The security officer who worked in the hospital room where Hye-na was born brought this to me. “I knew then.”
“….I committed a mortal sin. President.”
“cancer. It’s a mortal sin. “If you hadn’t suppressed your anger for so many years, you would have disappeared somewhere, either underground or underwater.”
Choi Gyeong-hoon said that and stood up with his cane.
Then, I removed the curtains in the VIP reception room and looked at the night view of Seoul.
“Are you willing to surrender to me?”
Only then did Yoo Ji-hoon understand why Choi Gyeong-hoon brought up the story of the Seven Worlds.
Yoo Ji-hoon sighed lightly, realizing that he had not intended to make a big deal here from the beginning.
20 years ago, Cho Young-hwan’s power was incomparable to Choi Kyeong-hoon’s, but now the two could be said to be almost similar.
“Are you going to hit the old man?”
Choi Gyeong-hoon nodded to Yoo Ji-hoon’s question.
“also. “It’s President Yu.”
“It won’t be easy.”
“I know. It’s going to be a long fight. But with your help, we have a chance of winning.”
“Do you believe me?”
“I trust President Yu’s habits. You are a natural opportunist. And I have the power and evidence to completely destroy you. Now that my strength has reached a boil, I am not your father-in-law who will fight me to the point of bloodshed because of you. He is a man whose last hope is for his grandchildren to take over the company. Even if I kick you out, my father-in-law will never protect President Yu. Choi Kyung-jun! Oh-Jun Choi! It was Youngjun Choi. Because he is a human being who can be anyone. “There is no reason for you to stick with Jo Young-hwan in this situation.”
Yoo Ji-hoon sighed and lowered his head.
“All right. President.”
“Once the convertible bonds are issued and the acquisition of SKY Teletech is completed, there will be personnel changes. “It will be around the end of the year.”
“yes.”
“Is there anything I should know?”
Yoo Ji-hoon closed his eyes and thought for a while before opening his mouth.
“Lady Hye-na and Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo. “What is your relationship?”
“her. “If you know, your father-in-law also knows.”
“So is what I think correct?”
“maybe.”
“The elder wants to know about Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo.”
“Take care of yourself. Why is he so interested in meeting a guy he likes? Damn human being.”
“yes. All right.”
After hearing Yoo Ji-hoon’s answer, Choi Kyung-hoon turned and headed toward the door.
“President. “The bag is.”
“You take care of it.”
“……”
“I really liked you. “If it weren’t for that, I would like to retire and go fishing together and spend the twilight of our lives together.”
With those words, Choi Kyung-hoon left the reception room, and Yoo Ji-hoon fell to the ground as if he had collapsed.
It feels like the core that was buried in one corner has disappeared, as if I was always pretending.
‘Now everything is back to its original place.’
As soon as Choi Kyung-hoon walked out the door, he quietly walked down the hallway with a cold expression.
‘Just until we get everything back!’
