#140. Inclusion. 11
While she was looking at Woojin with trembling eyes, the ambulance arrived at Daehan Hospital.
Woojin, who was loaded onto a stretcher, was immediately taken to the emergency room, and the doctor immediately grabbed the flashlight hanging from his white coat and rushed to the scene.
The paramedic said.
“This is a TA patient, but he is unconscious.”
“Come here”
The doctor spoke straight to Woojin's eyes and put his hand on them.
“Are you a guardian?”
Lee Si-young spoke as if her thoughts had stopped.
It was a face that didn't know why it was there.
“Yes. No, there was an accident… … ”
The doctor immediately lifted Woojin's eyelids.
No, not then.
Woojin's eyes slowly opened.
“Patient, are you feeling better? What is your name?”
Woojin's mouth opened naturally as he looked up at the ceiling.
“This is Shin Woo-jin.”
“How old are you? Do you know where this is?”
The doctor continued to ask Woojin questions as if trying to examine his mental state.
What I found out was that his mental state was very good.
“Does anything hurt?”
Woojin answered, raising his upper body.
“No, it’s okay.”
Woojin was the one who knew his own condition better than anyone else.
Of course, the appearance of losing consciousness at the time of the accident was an act.
The purpose was to create an environment and situation for Lee Si-young and make her react.
At that time, the professor Lee Si-young had called appeared.
He bowed his head slightly to Lee Si-young and asked the resident who had been checking on Woo-jin's condition.
“What is the patient’s condition?”
“It is diagnosed as syncope due to concussion, but there is no dizziness.”
After hearing the resident's words, the professor asked Woojin.
“Patient, is there anything that feels uncomfortable?”
"it's okay."
At that time, Lee Si-young said.
“Please check everything, because there may be other issues later.”
Woojin, who had been gently rubbing her shoulder, turned his head towards her.
“When I listen to you, it feels like I was wrong.”
“You jumped in… … ”
“If we look at the black box or CCTV footage around the building, we’ll find the answer.”
Her eyes twitched slightly again.
I didn't remember well because I was in a state of confusion at the time of the accident, but there was a high possibility that Woojin's words were true.
But this thought was fleeting.
I felt so ashamed that I had to worry about such things.
“Patient, you may be feeling fine now, but since side effects often appear late, it would be best to get tested first.”
Woojin nodded as the professor said.
And then I came down from the bed under the direct guidance of the resident.
As Woojin moved away from his seat, the professor asked.
“Shall I notify your family?”
“There’s no need to do that.”
After saying something briefly, Lee Si-young immediately made a phone call to someone.
“It’s me. I had an accident… … ”
Meanwhile, Woojin, who was walking down the hallway with the resident, was also making a phone call to someone.
“I think the training instructions have been given. I think the agent should step forward. Yes.
“Just show me the action. Just get one video.”
————————-
Woojin, who had completed all the tests, was in the VIP hospital room.
Woojin, who had changed into a patient gown, looked out the window, which was dyed black.
He sees his own face with gauze stuck to his forehead.
The time is just past 9 p.m.
Woojin's fingers tapped on the window as if he was thinking about something.
“I can’t worry you.”
Woojin, who had never stayed out overnight since returning home.
'I'll be back soon.'
Woojin took these words very seriously.
And even now, its meaning has not faded one bit and is still valid.
However, the circumstances and environment have changed a little.
That's why we have to adapt.
Woojin immediately made a phone call to someone.
– Our handsome son~ Where are you?
“Hey, friend. I’ll be sleeping here tonight. Go to sleep first.”
He seemed a little surprised.
– With your friends?
“Okay. I’ll play for a bit and then go to sleep. I’ll go in tomorrow.”
– uh……
Woojin's mother answered as if she was surprised, but soon returned with a bright voice.
I was happy about my son's change.
– Okay. Have fun. What about dinner? Did you eat dinner?
“Of course. Yes.”
– Then, my handsome son, see you tomorrow?
“Yes. I’ll go in tomorrow.”
After finishing the call, Woojin looked at his phone for a moment and then turned his gaze back to the window.
Even though the circumstances and environment changed a little, nothing changed.
Because the place I was going to return to was always the same.
Just then there was a knock on the door and someone came in.
He was dressed in a suit and was carrying a large basket of fruit in his hands.
This was SH Strategy's Cha Joo-hyuk.
He looked Woojin up and down.
Because he looked fine except for a few bruises on his face.
“Are you okay?”
Woojin nodded slightly and answered.
"this……"
When Manager Cha Ju-hyeok placed the fruit basket on one side,
“I like strawberries.”
"yes?"
“Strawberries.”
Cha Joo-hyuk suddenly had a thought that didn't fit the situation.
Is this what a pregnant wife's whims are like?
“Ah… … Then again with strawberries… … ”
"are you okay."
He even said that since he bought it, he would just eat it.
“What happened?”
In response to Woojin’s question, Cha Joo-hyuk opened his mouth as if giving a briefing.
“We have recovered the CCTV footage from the accident scene and Ms. Lee Si-young’s black box.”
“What are the results of the video analysis?”
“Miss Lee Si-young came out in a hurry.”
Woojin nodded his head.
“It seems like people passing by also took pictures and videos.”
“We are tracking it. Most of it is something that can be bought with money.”
SH Strategy would do anything for the image of Shinwha Group.
If you tell me to, I can step on you, and if you tell me to step on you, I can step on you so you never get up again.
“And this… … ”
Cha Joo-hyuk carefully handed a white envelope to Woo-jin.
“Is this a settlement amount?”
“Yes. It’s 30 million won. Usually, it starts at 10 million won, but it seems like they’re trying to completely bury the incident so there won’t be any more complaints.”
“Does SH Strategy know my personal information?”
“I don’t know. Even if I knew, I would think it was a coincidence.”
The guy who came in as a new employee happened to get into an accident with Lee Si-young's car.
SH Strategy thinks Woojin is nothing more than a speck of dust.
“What did you say?”
"here……"
Cha Joo-hyuk handed over a USB.
“This is CCTV footage taken in the building.”
Cha Joo-hyuk recovered the footage of the accident and made a copy.
One of them was destroyed by SH Strategy, and the other one was now in Woojin's hands.
“Thank you. And please tell him I won’t be taking any money.”
“Is that all I can do?”
"yes."
"All right."
Cha Ju-hyuk put the envelope back in his bosom and headed towards the door.
“Oh, Manager Cha. Thank you for taking such great pains.”
The corners of Cha Ju-hyuk's mouth, who had been turning his back on Woo-jin, rose slightly.
It was because I was confident that they would give me a reward for my hard work.
Cha Joo-hyuk turned around, finding his expression again.
“No. It’s my job… … .”
Woojin was already taking a drink out of the fridge and holding it out to me.
“I think the combination of coffee and milk is amazing. Try it. It’s sweet.”
“Okay……”
Woojin put the drink in his hand.
“Thank you… … Then I will go.”
——————————-
Two days later.
Assistant Manager Cha Ju-hyeok stood in front of Director Cho, who was brushing his hair back.
“Isn’t that crazy kid?”
“I tried betting up to 50 million won, but it didn’t budge at all.”
It was talking about Woojin.
“You want to get more? How much? 800 million? 100 million?”
"that is……"
“What? Are you asking for more? Do you want to turn your life around this time?”
“I want an apology… … ”
“Apples? You want me to fill the apple box with money?”
“No. He said he wanted a sincere apology. Then he said he wouldn’t take the money… … ”
Director Cho, whose eyes were blinking, laughed like a crazy person.
“This guy is totally like a retard! Hahaha! What are you apologizing for?”
“Yes. Then I’ll pretend it never happened. I think the reporter knows that too… … ”
Director Cho's brow furrowed.
"reporter?"
"yes."
The director closed both his eyes.
“Go out.”
"then."
As Cha Joo-hyuk left, the director frowned.
I felt like there was a mountain of work to be done, and one crazy person was making a mess of things.
Director Cho took a deep breath and collected his thoughts.
As Cha Joo-hyuk said, if a crazy person knows a reporter, his work increases.
We need to deal with this quickly before it becomes a headache.
Director Cho quickly gathered his thoughts, picked up the phone, and made a call.
It was Lee Si-young.
“Miss, this is SH Strategy Director Cho.”
– What's going on?
“That’s… … the other side is adamantly refusing to agree.”
– I guess you could give me more money.
“It seems like you don’t want money.”
– What does that mean?
Director Cho exaggerated a little.
“It seems like he wants an apology. But the situation is a bit awkward because he knows several reporters.”
– Whether you know the reporter or the prosecutor, is that all SH Strategy's ability is? Is that what I'm hearing now?
“Miss, I am very sorry to hear that Representative Lee Jeong-cheol is upset because of the incident involving Master Lee Yo-hwan.
“If this incident were to leak out… … ”
Lee Si-young's voice sounded sharp, like a needle was sticking out of the receiver.
– What are you doing at SH Strategy? What on earth do you do? Aren't you sitting here solving problems like this?
Director Cho tightly closed his eyes.
“Young lady, I hope you’ll reconsider. This could be resolved with just one word from you, rather than us wasting our time and energy on it.”
– under!
Lee Si-young wanted to shoot but couldn't.
SH Strategy was a place where the chairman of Shinwha Group, my grandfather, was at the center, so I couldn't throw any more harsh words at him.
If it reached his grandfather's ears, it would reach his father, and his father's discomfort would increase and spill over into him.
“I want you to think about it.”
Before Director Cho could finish speaking, Lee Si-young hung up the phone.
————————
Woojin was loosening his tie by pulling it loosely in the VIP room.
Today, I was on my way back from meeting with the CEOs of good companies.
So far, a total of 12 companies have decided to hang the J&R Future signboard.
We will not stop at 12 locations, but will also incorporate them and bring them further into J&R Future.
They were sprouts that had to be raised one by one by giving orders.
And then further on to listing.
Once the new city development begins, J&R Future will get back into full swing.
It had to be that way.
Because I was thinking about going back that way.
At that moment, the door opened with a creak and the sound of high heels could be heard.
Woojin turned around and checked the visitor with his own eyes.
She created an innocent image with moderate makeup, but her facial features were gorgeous.
It was Lee Si-young.
“I knew you’d come.”
When Woojin first met her, he was attracted to her visually.
In the second meeting, he used the thread to create the Princess Pyeonggang syndrome, which is similar to the Messiah syndrome, to get her interested, and stimulated her primal limbic system by looking at her collarbone and lips.
And he didn't hesitate to show his rough side by getting hit by a car.
It made me feel a variety of emotions in an instant, like riding a roller coaster.
This practice of putting multiple emotions into someone in a short period of time is a method favored by narcissists and sociopaths, and is a way of seducing someone.
But Woojin understood the brain and hormones that control narcissists, sociopaths, and even people they didn't think of.
And the interests of the people who are gathered together.
Woojin said as he put his loose tie on the window.
“I knew you’d come, whether you wanted to or not. It had to happen.”
