#147. Chaos. 7
After Hye-rim Lee finished speaking, their images were captured in her eyes.
They were all speechless, as if they had glue on their mouths.
“What the heck… …”
Executives had no choice but to make split-second decisions.
Not only was my anger rising to the top of my head, but the lid was about to open, and there has never been a twist like this twist.
Then someone said,
“Did you know this would happen… … ?”
“That’s not the point. Now that the water has come in, everyone here needs to come together and row hard.”
This time too, they were speechless and just racking their brains to figure out what was going on.
“Then, please continue with the meeting you were having.”
Hye-rim Lee turned toward the door.
Crunch. Crunch.
The sound of her high heels was sharp and powerful, as if piercing the executives' hearts.
What should I say?
The old, neglected appearance was nowhere to be found,
Wherever she went, the proud bloodline of the owner's family began to appear different in their eyes.
As Lee Hye-rim left the conference room, a tsunami of words poured out to the SH Construction CEO.
“What happened?”
“Oh my god, please explain what happened.”
“Did this executive director know this in advance and act accordingly?”
“Why did you hide it from us?”
"ha ha ha!"
The representative was unable to give any answers as many questions were flying in.
If Lee Hye-rim told me to take over, I took it over, and if she told me to take out a loan, I took it.
I was curious myself.
Why would you do such a crazy thing?
Although Lee Hye-rim grabbed her by the collar and swung her around, the final conclusion was that she popped the champagne.
'We will build a mega town of SH Construction.'
I just thought it was foolish behavior from someone who wanted to be recognized.
The representative then spoke with a big smile.
“As Mr. Lee said, the boat has been designed and the water has come in. Now, shall we try rowing?”
—————————————————–
The next day.
Lee Jeong-cheol looked at his daughter, Lee Si-young, without saying anything.
Lee Hye-rim stood next to her.
“Oh, Dad, that’s it… … ”
“The fairy is like that, and so are you.
“I see you’re determined to save face for this father.”
As soon as the article came out, Lee Si-young asked the bank president's son to lend her more money and buy GH stocks, which were soaring in value.
But the result is,
As soon as the announcement was made that GH Construction had transferred its shares to SH Construction, the stock price, which had reached its all-time high, plummeted again.
Of course, Lee Hye-rim picked up GH Construction's stocks like Isaac when they first plummeted, and sold them when they soared again.
“What are you going to do?”
Lee Si-young began to speak hurriedly in response to Lee Jeong-cheol's question.
“Dad, if you help me just this once, I won’t make this mistake again. I did it because I said I would try hard… …”
Lee Si-young was speechless at Lee Jeong-cheol’s cold gaze.
“I’ll check it out. I made an appointment. He seems like a nice guy, so come meet him.”
Asiyoung's eyes widened.
They were talking about marriage.
As a married man, my father was the kind of person who would treat me like any other man if he got married.
There has never been an exile like this one.
That too cannot be returned.
They would give me a little bit of money as a gift, but I would lose all the shares in the hotel I had been coveting, so I wouldn't be able to seize the opportunity.
"dad……"
“Look at Hye-rim. Don’t you feel anything?”
Lee Jeong-cheol knew that his children were ignoring and despising Hye-rim.
But he didn't interfere and just watched.
If Hye-rim overcame the obstacles and crawled back up, I would praise her, and if she lived like a frog in a well, I would only protect the well.
Not only Hye-rim Lee, but all of her children thought that way.
As long as you don't make any big mistakes.
Lee Jeong-cheol continued speaking.
“This is something we should take as an example.”
Lee Si-young, who was moving her mouth as if biting her lip, answered.
"yes."
“Go out and look.”
“Dad, then this time the mistake is… … ”
“I told you.”
"thank you……"
Lee Si-young turned around helplessly and left the office without saying a word.
So, only Lee Jeong-cheol and Lee Hye-rim were left.
“Well done.”
Lee Hye-rim answered calmly.
“I was lucky.”
“Luck is something that comes with effort, and that is called skill.”
Lee Jeong-cheol didn't ask about the process.
Because the results had already been determined.
“Do you need anything?”
“The tricycle you bought me last time is still at home.”
Lee Jeong-cheol found himself chuckling without realizing it.
It seems like only yesterday that Hye-rim, who was a grown man, came to the office and begged to buy her a tricycle because she didn't get one when she was little.
Now the guy is doing his part, true to his bloodline.
“Grandpa wants to see you.”
Lee Hye-rim's eyes widened slightly.
Aside from the occasional visit during holidays, his grandfather never once asked to see him.
Have you ever heard someone say they miss you?
I don't think it ever happened except when I was very young.
“Me?”
“You want to praise me directly.”
That also created an opportunity to catch up with GH Construction, which was increasingly moving away from SH Construction.
That wasn't all.
He founded a company called J&R Future, which had not yet reached Lee Jeong-cheol's ears and was unknown to SH Strategy.
Woojin made all the small but solid-looking companies hang the J&R Future signboard.
Similar companies in each field were merged.
New companies born under the J&R Future banner no longer had to rely on anyone to get orders.
This was because they were the first to receive a huge contract for the development of a new city on a huge site.
That was going to be a beginning.
“When?”
Lee Hye-rim didn't hesitate.
compliment?
Will receive.
If I could receive and receive and move forward, there was no need to hesitate.
“He told me to come to his house at lunchtime tomorrow.”
"all right."
After exchanging stories like that a few more times, Lee Hye-rim escaped into the hallway.
And then I called Woojin.
“Woojin, are you busy?”
– I was studying.
"study?"
– Yeah, I'm looking into what trendy words are these days.
“Why do you have to do something like that… …”
– Because we have to read the flow of the times.
Lee Hye-rim closed her eyes and shook her head.
“What about food?”
– I'm going to eat it later.
“Do you want to eat? I have something to say.”
-What's the menu?
“What do you want to eat? Should we go eat something?”
– How about tteoksun-twi? There's a place that sprinkles tempura flour on tteokbokki, but it's so good you have to wear a diaper to eat it.
Lee Hye-rim couldn't help but laugh.
It was Woojin who moved the flow of hundreds of billions of dollars here and there.
But at times like this, he looks innocent and pure.
Lee Hye-rim opened her mouth again with a smile.
Is there anyone else who can make you laugh like this?
"call."
In the past, Hye-rim Lee would not have understood the term tteoksun-twi, but after meeting Woo-jin, she knew the names of countless foods.
“I'll pick you up.”
– Oh my… … Then it’s me who’s thankful.
That moment.
After lying in bed and finishing his phone call with Hye-rim Lee, Woo-jin turned on the YouTube video again and muttered while checking the comments.
“What… What happened? What did you do? What did you do?”
Woojin, who was mumbling the words while reading the comments, went out at the appointed time.
I'm waiting for Lee Hye-rim at the main gate.
“Brother!”
Bomi, now a college student, ran towards Woojin.
“Where are you going?”
“Yeah, I have plans. What about dinner for Bomi?”
“I had tteokbokki with my friends! Who do you have plans with? Is it someone I know?”
Just then a red sports car approached and stopped.
The one who got out of the car was Lee Hye-rim.
Hye-rim Lee smiled brightly and waved at Bomi.
“Hello~ You’ve become prettier?”
"hello."
Bomi bowed and looked at Hye-rim Lee again.
This is the third time I've seen her, and I feel like the atmosphere of my sister, whom my brother calls his friend, has completely changed.
If before it felt stiff and I didn't know how to handle myself, now it was a soft atmosphere.
Woojin said as he adjusted the scarf around Bomi's neck again.
“It’s cold, come inside.”
Bomi answered while stealing glances at Hye-rim Lee.
“Okay. Enjoy your meal.”
“See you later, Bomi.”
“Drive safely.”
Bomi opened her eyes blearily as she stood there, watching the sports car moving away.
“I’m saying it’s suspicious.”
The way my sister looked at my brother was clearly the way she looked at the opposite sex.
Bomi, who turned around to head home, thought that it would be nice to see the three of them together sometime.
Bomi wasn't the only one who thought that way.
Lee Hye-rim said, heading to the tteokbokki restaurant that Woo-jin had mentioned.
“Let’s have a meal together sometime, Bomi.”
"why?"
“He’s your younger sibling, but I don’t think I could give him a gift for his admission.”
Bomi, whose dream was to become a doctor, was able to enter medical school.
“It looks like you have pierced ears. How about earrings?”
“Bomi hates free stuff.”
Hye-rim Lee smiled awkwardly and thought about how she would survive no matter what.
I ran and ran like that and was able to arrive at the tteokbokki restaurant that Woojin had mentioned.
It must have been a really good restaurant because there was only one table left.
As the handsome men and beautiful women came in, the men glanced at Hye-rim Lee, and the women glanced at Woo-jin.
And the tteoksun-twi I ordered came out.
Woojin first took a bite of the tteokbokki in red broth sprinkled with yellow tempura powder.
Woojin, who was eating tteokbokki, blinked.
Then he nodded.
“Is this why they told me to wear diapers? This is the taste people were talking about.”
The chewy yet crispy texture of the tteokbokki was superb.
Lee Hye-rim, who was laughing at Woo-jin's words, also tasted the tteokbokki.
“Oh. It’s delicious.”
Woojin took another bite of tteokbokki, this time with soup.
“Wow. How did you make it?”
The content I had seen in the comments at home was flowing out of Woojin's mouth as is.
At the same time, the secret to the taste that attracts people like this was being calculated in Woojin's head.
I added fine red pepper powder, green chili pepper powder, sugar, and glutinous rice flour instead of starch.
Pepper, seasoned salt, MSG, dashi, chicken stock.
Onion powder was also added.
Woojin savored the taste of the sundae and fried food and enjoyed it deliciously.
In conclusion, I put the fish cake soup in a paper cup and took it out.
Hye-rim Lee held the paper cup with both hands and sipped it like coffee.
The sight of her eating soup while driving a supercar and wearing fancy clothes was strangely incongruous.
The tone of speech was also like that.
“It tastes better than coffee.”
Woojin nodded at Lee Hye-rim’s words.
“I agree.”
The two drank the steaming soup from the paper cup and got back into the car.
Lee Hye-rim said while putting on her seatbelt.
“Thanks to you, I now know about one more delicious restaurant.”
If her brothers had known that Lee Hye-rim was eating at a snack shop, they would have called her vulgar, but
Lee Hye-rim didn't care at all and her words were sincere.
She opened her mouth again.
“I think I have to go see my grandfather tomorrow.”
“To be praised?”
When Lee Hye-rim smiled and nodded, Woo-jin also nodded along.
“I don’t feel like it, but I have to go anyway.”
At that moment, Woojin, who was staring straight ahead, spoke.
“Can I go too?”
Owner of Shinwha Group.
It is possible to guess how a person is designed by changing the environment around them since childhood, but if you look at it, you will be able to make a clearer judgment.
I wanted to see the tiger deep in the cave with my own eyes.
