Three days later, Friday afternoon.
“Employee Kim Cheol-soo is worried about scouting?”
Kim Seong-ho nodded and answered Park Jun-hyung’s question.
“Yes. It looks like he’s worried a bit too much.”
Park Jun-hyung frowned slightly at those words.
‘No, with those conditions, what’s there to worry about?’
“So what did you say?”
“I said that if I was going to go, I would go with him. But I said that I would need to find out what kind of company I should go to and that I would do more research to see if it was a place I could definitely go to.”
Although it wasn’t a very satisfactory answer, Park Jun-hyung nodded to Kim Seong-ho’s words.
Kim Seong-ho looked at Park Jun-hyung, who was smiling comfortably, and asked.
“Can I really change departments this time?”
“As long as you do what I tell you to do, it will happen. Mr. Seong-ho, please continue to encourage employee Cheol-soo Kim. If he has too much motivation, it will become a big obstacle in the future. It will also be helpful for Mr. Seong-ho Kim for employee Cheol-soo Kim to change jobs.” “Did you fully understand?”
“Yes. I understand. So, by any chance… how about spreading a rumor?”
Park Jun-hyung looked at Kim Seong-ho blankly at the unexpected suggestion.
“Rumors?”
“Yes. If it is rumored that employee Kim Cheol-soo received a scouting offer on very good terms, he will be pressured by the opinions of people around him. Wouldn’t the selection time be faster?”
“Hoo.”
Park Jun-hyung let out a slight exclamation and looked at Kim Seong-ho once again.
‘I thought Hwang Dae-hoon was a good guy, but this guy knows how to use his brain.’
“You figure it out. You just tell me the results.”
“all right.”
After sending Kim Seong-ho off, Park Jun-hyung left work and drove to Busan.
It was to meet Assistant Manager Shin Dong-hyeon, who had gone to Busan due to emergency personnel measures.
He planned to get a promotion by being recognized for his contributions if Kim Cheol-soo changes jobs and Executive Director Choi takes off his clothes through his own scheme.
However, since all the executives in the management headquarters were along the lines of President Yoo Ji-hoon, there was no room for them to move up unless someone took off their clothes.
As I was driving down the highway after leaving the toll gate, my cell phone rang.
– yes. This is Junhyung Park.
– dad!
Park Jun-hyung’s expression, which had been stiff due to his slurred voice, softened.
– Oh my, our Unho called.
– huh! When are you coming?
– The next day.
– I want to see it now.
– Dad is the highest ranking person here, so he will buy us everything we want.
– huh! okay!
Park Jun-hyung’s son, Park Un-ho, suffered from cerebral palsy.
He was born with a disability and suffered from spastic cerebral palsy, making it almost impossible for him to move without help.
Fortunately, my intelligence was average.
Starting with who caused the child to be born like this, my wife and I fought and argued at the postpartum care center, and eventually we divorced and had no choice but to leave Unho in the care of my parents.
Park Jun-hyung, who knows well how Korean society views the disabled, was determined to succeed for Unho, and did everything he could to achieve success, regardless of right or wrong.
He thinks that only if he succeeds greatly will Unho be able to live comfortably in society.
– okay. Dad will go on Sunday. Do you want to eat something?
– pizza!
– You called to buy pizza?
– huh!
– okay. When I go to see Unho, I’ll buy two pizzas.
– Ah, good!
After hanging up the phone, Park Jun-hyung looked as if he was reminiscing about the past for a moment, then fixed his eyes straight ahead with a blunt face.
If you listen to the CEO’s voice in a large company like Hanyoung Group, money is money, but no one will be able to ignore your son.
Park Jun-hyung became bitter again at the thought that his son’s future rested on his shoulders.
**
Kim Cheol-soo checked the scheduler and saw that Choi Hye-na’s birthday was on Sunday.
Since it had become a habit to take care of my boss, I went to the department store and bought a Hutgae tea set without much thought.
Every time she went to a bar, Choi Hye-na always smelled like alcohol, and no matter how much she liked alcohol, it was obvious that drinking it often would harm her liver.
Heutgae tea is good for the liver, easy to drink, and an easy gift to give to your boss.
‘Is this okay?’
All right
“Is it tropical today too?”
Evening came, but the heat showed no signs of abating.
The midday heat still lingered in the summer oven.
It was like being in an earthen pot.
Kim Cheol-su wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, took off his tie, put it in his bag, and unbuttoned his shirt.
I felt much better.
As I was walking like that, I stopped for a moment in front of an exhibition hall next to the road where home appliances were displayed and looked at the air conditioner.
After spending all day in a cool company, I forgot something.
Youngsu reads a book in front of the fan while sweating, and his mother always has beads of sweat on her face.
After 10 p.m., it gets a little cooler and can be solved with an electric fan, but how can we survive before then?
Isn’t the reason for making money to relieve the inconveniences of such a life?

Perhaps tired of the sticky heat, Kim Cheol-soo boldly opened the store.
‘Since when was I a miser?’
Kim Cheol-soo went into the store and immediately purchased an air conditioner and headed to Blue House with a gift he bought at the department store.
**
While Choi Hye-na was fixing Kim Cheol-soo’s hair, her eyes kept falling on a corner of the front mirror.
This was because I saw the paper bag with the department store mark that Kim Cheol-soo was carrying.
‘Who did you bring it for? ‘That girlfriend?’
If you told me something, it would be less bothersome.
In the end, after thinking about all sorts of things on my own, my lips ended up sticking out.
Then, depending on his mood, his touch became rougher.
Kim Cheol-soo suddenly felt Choi Hye-na pulling his hair roughly and looked in the mirror.
I don’t know what happened, but seeing Choi Hye-na’s pouty expression, I quietly asked a question.
“Is anything bad happening today?”
“yes.”
“May I ask what it is?”
In response to Kim Cheol-soo’s answer, Choi Hye-na made a ‘grunt’ sound as if she was frustrated.
However, I didn’t want to ask directly what the gift was, so I just kept talking around it.
“Because my French friends who were supposed to come didn’t come.”
“Uh, why?”
“Well, they probably have their own circumstances.”
“okay.”
Choi Hye-na’s hand stopped for a moment at Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
When I thought about it, I had an ominous feeling that I would have to spend my birthday alone.
“are you okay?”
“It should be okay.”
When Kim Cheol-soo finished fixing her hair, he picked up the gift he had brought to Hye-na Choi to change her mood.
Originally, I was going to give it to you before I finished singing.
“president.”
“yes?”
Choi Hye-na’s face lit up when Kim Cheol-soo handed her the paper bag she was so curious about.
“This…?”
“I heard that Sunday is the boss’s birthday? It’s a joke. They say it’s good for the liver.”
Choi Hye-na remembered her birthday, which she had mentioned in passing, and felt good about Cheol-su’s kindness in giving her a gift.
“Liver?”
“Yes. You’re always a little drunk.”
“Ah… Because of my health?”
“The boss must be healthy so I can sing for a long time.”
Choi Hye-na twitched the corner of her mouth for a moment at those words.
‘What? Why does this idiot say that when he gives me a gift?’
“Ahaha. I kind of like drinking. I’ve never seen Cheolsu drink alcohol, but he doesn’t drink?”
“It’s impossible for a boss to not drink alcohol. But I try to drink only pleasant drinks as much as possible.”
“Is there any pleasant drink?”
“Of course. The more you drink, the more you smile. There is a place where you feel better when you drink in such a place. That is a pleasant drink.”
Choi Hye-na smiled bitterly at those words.
If the French friends I was supposed to meet on Sunday didn’t come, I would probably have to celebrate my birthday alone.
Choi Young-jun, who always celebrated her birthday, gave her a gift and then left for a foreign country on a business trip.
“Oh, I want to drink that kind of alcohol too. But I guess I’ll just drink a lot of lonely alcohol this time.”
“Lonely drink?”
“It’s a drink you drink alone.”
“ah…”
“Wait a minute. Sit here. Have you been a little tired lately?”
Hearing Choi Hye-na’s words, Kim Cheol-soo tilted his head and sat back down in his chair.
“I think I have a small pimple under my chin. If I touch it with my hand, it will scar later. Anyone who sings on stage should take care of their face.”
She brought a bag, took out needles and cotton swabs from it, and squeezed out the pimple under Kim Cheol-soo’s chin.
As she looked closely to make sure she squeezed it properly, her forehead lightly touched Kim Cheol-soo’s cheek.
Choi Hye-na was so shaken that she heard her own heartbeat, and Kim Cheol-soo thought he hit Hye-na Choi’s forehead, so he turned his face slightly to the side.
“are you okay?”
“Ah yes.”
Choi Hye-na nodded and turned around as if she was urgently looking for something.
Choi Hye-na took a short breath after seeing her reflection in the mirror on the other side.
If it weren’t for the lighting in the staff room, Kim Cheol-soo would have noticed that her face had turned red.
‘under. It’s so crazy, so crazy! ‘Be embarrassed by someone who has a girlfriend.’
Choi Hye-na came looking for a skin stabilizer and handed it to Kim Cheol-soo.
“Apply it to the rash area. It prevents bacteria from entering and prevents skin problems.”
“thank you.”
Kim Cheol-soo applied a skin stabilizer to the area where the blemishes were neatly treated.
‘I drink alcohol alone…’
Is there anything more bitter than drinking alcohol alone on your birthday?
After becoming a wild goose dad and when the social situation changed to the point where co-workers became indifferent to each other’s anniversary, Kim Cheol-soo also used to drink birthday drinks alone.
At first, my wife and children who were abroad would call me for my birthday, but as the years went by, I tended to forget even that.
Now that I think about it, I remembered the story that Executive Director Choi Young-jun went on a business trip to Africa.
“It’s not like you don’t have someone to take care of your birthday, right?”
“Why? If you don’t have it, will Cheolsu take care of it for you?”
“Usually a family member or something close to me…”
Choi Hye-na said coldly when asked about family.
“Because they’re just people I don’t want to see.”
Kim Cheol-soo, who thought that he might become estranged from his family because of his dishonest relationship with Choi Young-jun, nodded.
“okay.”
Choi Hye-na asked once again in response to Kim Cheol-soo’s ambiguous words.
“Will Cheolsu take care of it for you?”
“The owner takes great care of me every time I come here. If you drink alone on Sunday, please contact me. But I have to go to work the next day, so it’s better to drink in moderation.”
Choi Hye-na’s mouth lit up with a smile.
Since I had to go to work the next day, I had already stopped listening to comments about drinking in moderation.
“Um… Okay.”
