My only comrade left and I was left alone to protect my limbs. Haejun, not wanting to add any more worries, shook his head firmly. Professor Park couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows at his student’s earnest request.
“yes. The professor can come back smiling like that. “I will guard this place tightly.”
“Jun.”
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s the chairman or the chairman’s grandfather. “I’m just going to work hard at everything like I do now!”
Hae-joon clenched his fist again and glanced at the wall clock out of habit. Putting aside the regret of not being able to see the professor off until the end, I opened the door to avoid being late for the next surgery.
“Everything will work out well, don’t worry professor. “Did you know?”
“then.”
Professor Park took off his glasses with a confused look on his face as he watched his student run away. Everything should work out well. then. Even if I don’t intentionally act brave, I know best when it comes to Hae-joon’s skills and passion for patients.
“… … “If only you could let go of that passion just a little bit.”
It seems like he is the only one who doesn’t know that that’s the problem.
◇ ◆ ◇
A well-maintained garden spreads out beyond the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. It had a wintery feel, but unfortunately, the atmosphere inside the window did not.
“… … It would be okay to stay there for a while. “It would also be appropriate for calming public opinion.”
Chairman Seo Tae-moon sat on an antique chair in the exact center of the living room and tapped his fingers on the armrest. This is the habit of making big decisions as the owner of a large company.
“Because it would seem plausible to the board of directors. “Nowadays, it is rare for the owner family to immediately jump into the management of the head office like in the past.”
“sure. “These days, the trend is to gain experience in various fields.”
Mrs. Cha Hyo-seon raised a tea cup while supporting her husband, Chairman Seo. She did not forget to glance over the glass, where concentric circles of red light were spreading out, and give someone a look.
“It’s perfect for Cheil Hospital. “There are many general hospitals in Korea, but there are few that have such a deep history.”
“It’s also a place that my father has been eyeing for a long time.”
Chairman Seo nodded and gently cupped his chin. If you ask me why there is no general hospital that is bigger and more up-to-date than Cheil Hospital, it is difficult to match the image of an excellent hospital with a long history anywhere. For that very reason, it was a place that my late father particularly coveted, and he finally completed the acquisition three years ago. And, as if it had been waiting for this day, with fierce driving force and enormous investment of funds, it established itself as an educational cooperation hospital of Hyeonmoon University School of Medicine a year and a half ago.
“Chairman Cho also said he wanted to go to his hometown and rest comfortably, so the timing was perfect.”
“That’s right. If it’s going to work, it has to be like this.”
“… … .”
Mrs. Cha mechanically agreed and looked at the person sitting alone as if he was still living in another world. She wondered if she might show her dissatisfaction and make the atmosphere bad, but there was no response.
Chairman Seo also frowned at his wife’s disapproval.
“Lee Han, are you listening to me right now?”
“… … sure.”
Only then did Lee Han, who was sitting on a black leather chair, raise his head. His well-groomed hair and dark eyes were surprisingly clear. Some people said that he had animal-like eyes that suited his temperament, but that was very wrong.
“I’m listening, so please continue.”
The eyes of the black hound that Lee Han was stroking with his right hand also seemed more docile than his.
“Seo Yihan, your father is having a hard time speaking to you.”
“What would be difficult? “It seems like everything has already been decided.”
“… … .”
“My image has been ruined by the last merger and acquisition, so don’t you think I should go to some hospital and get it fixed?”
What are you having a hard time with?
Lee Han, leaning back on the chair and crossing his legs, was upright to the point of obnoxiousness. Mrs. Cha, who was inferior to her, beat her son.
“No, what are you saying…” … . “Is this fun now?”
“Well, wouldn’t it be more fun than not ruining the company and doubling its sales and performance, but then being forced out by complaining about its image?”
“… … .”
Eat. Lee Han’s red mouth was full of cynicism. Mrs. Cha looked at her husband as if asking for his help, but she could not refute it as it was the truth.
In fact, Lee Han, the successor to the Seomun Group and their eldest son, has never disappointed his parents. Based on my many years of study abroad and experience working in overseas branches, I repaid that trust by achieving remarkable results at the affiliates I joined as soon as I returned to Korea.
The problem arose from fulfilling that belief too well.
If there is a lot to gain, there is also a lot to lose. As huge profits were created and the value of the company was raised, complaints about it also poured out.
To say that it is too cold, that there is no blood or tears.
Stories that had not been mentioned at the time began to pour out later and attack him. As the eyes on the crown prince who had fallen from the sky were already not positive, everyone rushed to see the tearful interviews of several informants, thinking it was time.
“I don’t think it’s fun for your mother. “If I had screwed up, they would have made me into a murderer.”
“Oh, my. You should start with your words… … . no. Honestly, what is wrong with the social atmosphere these days that pursues coexistence? “Win-win, you know?”
Mrs. Cha, who was avoiding her son’s gaze, which grew more stinging in proportion to his laughter, looked embarrassed but came up with a plausible excuse. However, their eldest son, more than anyone else, had a talent for belittling those who spoke with a ‘polite and elegant attitude.’
“… … Win-win, don’t you know? “It’s a good thing.”
“That would be good. Thanks to that, I was able to take a proper look around this historic hospital.”
“… … .”
“I understand what you two are saying, and it has already been decided, so let’s do it. “I will go to the hospital right away starting next week.”
“Really?”
Are you like this?
Not only Mrs. Cha but also Chairman Seo looked at his son who was quite surprised and got up from his seat. no. This isn’t it. I should have known that something was going wrong when the son of the world was petting the hunting dog with a wide smile.
This is not a guy who will be kicked out if you kick him out, but in the end, I glanced at the alternative that Chairman Seo had prepared in advance.
“… … Well, if you find it difficult to accept Lee Han, there are other ways.”
“no. “If you tell me to go, I have to go.”
“no. Just listen and see,”
“Unless I marry a decent girl from a decent family who can restore my ruined image.”
“… … .”
also.
Lee Han cut his chin as if he felt sorry for his parents who were unable to say anything with their mouths open.
“Why don’t you just be honest from the beginning? “If that were the case, the busiest people in Korea wouldn’t have had to worry about looking at the garden on this beautiful day.”
“Seo Yihan!”
“Let’s discuss my real plans again in a year when I show you the hospital’s sales. “You may not know it once, but you won’t be able to blame it on my personality twice.”
let’s go.
When Lee Han stretched out his hand, the hunting dog, which was whining and just looking at him, quickly ran up and took the seat next to him. With well-stretched bodies and overwhelming energy, it is rare to see a pair that matches so well, except that they are a human and a dog.
“Instead, if I create a result that no one can criticize, I hope that you will give up your hopes for an unnecessary marriage.”
“Where is that? Are you saying that we can get along? “I’m saying this to be good for you too.”
“That’s right. Win-Win.”
Lee Han bowed briefly to Mrs. Cha and then turned diagonally. The sight of him leading a hunting dog with a stiff black tail was as graceful as a leopard.
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
