“Let’s go in first.”
As Kim Cheol-soo packed his bag and got up, Ahn Jeong-gyu nodded and motioned for him to go quickly.
Pyo Il-soo, with wide eyes, asked Lee Jun-hak while fixating his gaze on Kim Cheol-soo who was disappearing out the door.
“What’s going on? That guy gets off work first?”
Lee Jun-hak chuckled at those words.
“Deputy Director, too. Assistant Manager Kim was originally on vacation today.”
“Ah! That’s right. Cheolsu, you came back home last night, right? Wow, that’s really amazing. I don’t think I can do something like that. When I come back from a business trip, I’m in a bad mood for a whole week.”
“He’s definitely not an ordinary guy.”
Pyo Il-soo said, imitating what Kim Cheol-soo said during the meeting.
“I think we should go together as a team. Ugh… cool, cool. I never thought something like that would come out of the mouths of kids these days. It’s a line that could only come from my father’s generation. But coming out of that guy’s mouth, it’s different in its own way. It sounded pretty good.”
Lee Jun-hak also nodded as if he agreed with those words.
A space called a company where humans clash with each other constantly.
It was very difficult to say something like that without hesitation in the cold and fierce competition.
It wasn’t the nonsense made by talkers who automatically lie as soon as they open their mouths.
“Team leader, you should treat Director Park to a big meal. It was Director Park who assigned Cheolsu to our team.”
Lee Jun-hak held his breath and chuckled at Pyo Il-soo’s words.
“Hey, you guys! Why are you laughing so hard? I’m hungry, let’s go get some dinner! What about Manager Shin?”
Ahn Jeong-gyu said as he picked up his coat, and Shin Gyeong-mi also got up and nodded.
“I’ll go with you, team leader.”
Guess what
Yoo Ji-hoon entered the sushi restaurant at the Shilla Hotel.
An old man with gray hair who was already waiting looked at Yoo Ji-hoon and smiled lightly.
Yoo Ji-hoon quickly went over and offered to shake hands.
“It’s been a while. President Yu.”
“How have you been, Chairman Lee?”
“Please come in.”
“yes.”
Lee Geon-wook.
Like most large Korean companies, he was the chairman of a city-state group that started out in the construction industry and then expanded its business to include steel and fertilizer, and now electronics and semiconductors.
He also had a close relationship with Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon, and Yoo Ji-hoon had developed a close relationship with Lee Kun-wook when he worked at Hanyoung Electronics.
Yoo Ji-hoon, who had a light conversation until the meal was served, poured a drink into Chairman Lee Geon-wook’s glass.
“Is something wrong?”
“It’s because of my only son.”
Yoo Ji-hoon recalled the high school student he saw at the wedding of Chairman Lee Kun-wook’s second daughter.
“I’m giving him management classes before he takes over the company, but it’s not easy because he has to sell his name to the company I run.”
Yu Ji-hoon nodded briefly at those words.
Except for those who suddenly become rich, families that have accumulated wealth over several generations pay a lot of attention to their children’s education. In particular, people who lead companies as presidents or chairman often get jobs at other companies in order to take management classes.
“But our open recruitment has already ended, Mr. Chairman.”
Lee Kun-wook chuckled at those words as if he already knew.
“Do you really think I would ask you for a favor?”
Yoo Ji-hoon also smiled and answered those words.
“Haha. No, Chairman. In that case…”
“I’ve already been accepted to Korea-English Trading Company.”
“Hahaha. Is that so? If you had told me in advance, it would have been more convenient.”
“That’s what he means. He wants to work in a place where no one knows about his existence. He said he wants to do it on his own without my help because he’s curious about how good he is.”
“Wow, I’m proud of you!”
Hearing Yoo Ji-hoon’s words, Lee Geon-wook also nodded with a satisfied smile.
“So, can you help him learn about sales properly?”
“Sales… do you mean?”
“That’s right. Sales is the most basic of management, especially. I heard that there is a team at Hanyoung Trading Company that is producing excellent results.”
Yoo Ji-hoon’s expression hardened slightly at those words.
“Do you have anything else on your mind besides your son?”
Lee Geon-wook shook his head at those words.
“Do you think I would do something wrong when Chairman Choi is here? Don’t worry. My son’s work is just a side issue.”
Yu Ji-hoon slightly raised his eyes at those words, and Lee Geon-wook looked at Yu Ji-hoon’s widened eyes and then raised his glass.
“Let’s have a drink first and then talk.”
At those words, Yoo Ji-hoon quickly raised his glass.
Lee Geon-wook, who lightly clinked glasses and poured alcohol into his mouth, spoke.
“They said there was a problem with the oil pipeline connecting Ukraine and Russia due to the last typhoon.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“That’s right. I’ve been doing business with them for a long time, so I was able to hear this. You might not know this. Since the line was installed in the 1960s, it looks like they are planning to replace the oil pipeline rather than just maintain it. The construction cost is approximately. “I think it will be around 1 billion dollars.”
“It’s huge.”
“That’s right.”
At those words, Lee Geon-wook nodded and continued speaking.
“So, I’d like to form a consortium with Korea-English Corporation, which is the hottest company these days.”
Yoo Ji-hoon smiled deeply at Lee Kun-wook’s words.
Yoo Ji-hoon was well aware that a city and city construction company had recently competed in a Nigerian bid and lost.
Even at that time, they wanted to form a partnership with Hanyoung Group. Seeing that Lee Kun-wook personally brought up an issue that would have been okay for the president to come out and talk about, it seemed like the situation wasn’t that good.

‘Or have you heard any news about a construction contract in Kenya?’
Yoo Ji-hoon’s eyes became deeper.
“That’s a pretty interesting proposition.”
Yoo Ji-hoon picked up the kettle of alcohol and poured it into Lee Geon-wook’s glass and asked.
“Are you even thinking about a partnership?”
Hearing his words, Lee Geon-wook chuckled as he raised his drink.
“As expected, I can’t ignore President Yu.”
Yoo Ji-hoon thought as he poured alcohol into Lee Kun-wook’s glass.
‘It’s a Ukrainian oil field project.’

“I heard today was your day off?”
Kim Cheol-su looked at Choi Hye-na and asked while cooking ribs over charcoal.
“How did you know?”
“There is a way to know everything.”
Kim Cheol-soo thought about Choi Young-jun for a moment after wondering how she knew.
It seemed like Choi Hye-na was talking about herself with Choi Young-jun.
“Ho, I see.”
Kim Cheol-soo placed moderately cooked ribs on the plate in front of Choi Hye-na, and Choi Hye-na quickly picked them up with chopsticks.
“Shouldn’t you take a break when the company tells you to take a break?”
“Of course it is, but if I don’t finish what I have to do today, it keeps getting pushed back. I can’t stand that.”
“Aren’t you working hard to become the boss?”
“Haha. That’s right too.”
Kim Cheol-soo added with a grin.
“Humans are so cunning, and once they become comfortable, they tend to keep trying to become more comfortable. But in reality, it becomes really uncomfortable. If things keep getting postponed and things pile up, it actually becomes very uncomfortable. In the end, it remains as stress. “I can eat meat with the boss with peace of mind because I just finished what I had to do.”
Becoming a president was not an ordinary goal.
Because it was a story about being one among tens of thousands of people.
Kim Cheol-su placed the well-cooked ribs back on the plate in front of Choi Hye-na, and Choi Hye-na nodded and said.
“Cheolsu, you eat it too. And even though it’s a private event, you keep calling me boss?”
“Ah! I see. It’s become a habit.”
Choi Hye-na knew very well that her father was so obsessed with work that he almost gave up his family in order to build a business.
She opened her mouth as she watched Kim Cheol-su wrap the wrap and put it in his mouth.
“Cheolsu seems like a person who will abandon his family and focus on work once he gets married.”
“It will never happen.”
“I know a lot of people like Cheolsu.”
“Really? I’m doing it because now is the time to work like that. I don’t really like working like this either.”
“really?”
“really.”
“lie.”
As Kim Cheol-soo chuckled, Choi Hye-na shook her head with a pouting expression and asked.
“Isn’t there something you just want to do? Go on a trip, visit a delicious restaurant, travel across the country penniless, roll around in bed all day, or watch a late-night movie with popcorn all night long.”
“Just thinking about it makes me think it will all be a really happy experience.”
“Yes?”
“Yes. But I think unhappiness and happiness are on the same spectrum.”
“yes?”
Choi Hye-na tilted her head, and Kim Cheol-soo continued speaking as he looked at Choi Hye-na.
“You can be happy in the moment and yet be unhappy in your life as a whole. You can be unhappy in the moment, but happy in your life as a whole. I’m closer to the latter. What about Hye-na?”
When she was referred to as ‘Hyena’, she smiled slightly and thought about it.
“How about being happy in the moment to make your life happy as a whole?”
“It’s the best. But it’s probably an unrealistic story that isn’t allowed in our lives.”
“Why is it unrealistic?”
“If that were real, the world would be full of happy people.”
Choi Hye-na nodded without realizing it.
Then, after passing the meat he was chewing and drinking some water, he asked Kim Cheol-su.
“Do you think Cheolsu will be really happy if he becomes the president?”
“I feel like I will feel empty when I become the CEO, but I think the process of taking each step to become the CEO will be fun.”
“Tch. Is there anything else you want to do?”
When Kim Cheol-soo put the ribs on the charcoal grill, he answered right away without thinking about it.
“Meeting a good person.”
Choi Hye-na quickly asked in a voice full of anticipation.
“Good people?”
“A wonderful person who will enrich each other’s lives. Like Hye-na?”
Choi Hye-na’s eyes brightened at Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
“How does it enrich your life?”
“You don’t know that.”
“What! Really!”
“why?”
Choi Hye-na snorted at the playful question.
“How many good people are there?”
“hmm···.”
Kim Cheol-soo touched his chin for a moment, thought, and made eye contact with Choi Hye-na.
“You know Michelangelo, right?”
“sure!”
“When the Pope saw Michelangelo’s statue of David, he was so moved that he asked him, ‘How could you create such a great work of art as David?’ What did Michelangelo say?”
Choi Hye-na rested her chin on both hands and looked at Kim Cheol-soo for a while, thinking, then shook her head.
“It seems like a nonsense question, but I’m not sure. What did you say?”
“Guess what.”
“Oh, I really don’t know. Answer me quickly. Don’t make me dizzy.”
Cheolsu Kim answered those words with a chuckle.
“It’s very simple. He answered that he threw away everything that wasn’t related to David.”
After hearing those words, Choi Hye-na looked at Kim Cheol-soo with profound eyes for a moment and said.
“Does that have anything to do with my question?”
“After hearing Hye-na’s words, it suddenly occurred to me. Maybe it doesn’t matter much.”
‘Woo!’
Choi Hye-na released her hand from holding her chin, turned her head, looked toward the cash register, and raised her hand.
“Boss! Here, please give me two bottles of soju!”
