#157. Up, up. 10
Woojin walked towards the front door to head to the yard, asking himself that question.
It is difficult for a latecomer to catch up with a first-time starter unless he or she gives it his or her all.
Of course, this assumes that you can run faster than the person who ran first.
I wonder who will reach it first.
If we understand how Lee Hye-rim's aunt's organism lived and how people are designed up until now and consider the probability, the answer will come out.
Although each person's will and criteria for judgment may be different, I believe that they thought about it rationally and made their choice.
It's a misunderstanding.
The unconscious and the emotions have already made the choice and rationalized it for the self-consciousness.
It is similar to the series of processes involved in purchasing and consuming goods.
Advertisements are enticing us from all sides, and we choose one thing that is designed subconsciously.
The temptation doesn't stop there.
The reason why the visible flow of cash coming and going has decreased is to promote consumption.
When people make purchases directly with cash, their brains react with self-reproach or stress, and companies understand this very well and use it to change the consumption system.
Cards are a good example.
This is an invisible cash transaction.
When you swipe a card, your brain is tricked into thinking that nothing physical is visible and no money is being exchanged.
This will help you feel less guilty and less stressed.
Rather, it increases dopamine, making consumption impulsive.
Using a credit card increases your credit rating.
So what I'm saying is, keep using it.
The convenience of e-commerce could also be said to be in a similar vein.
With temptations reaching out from all sides like this, people are unable to resist them and begin to rationalize.
Your credit goes up, it's convenient, etc.
Corporations seduce people and provide them with a way to rationalize their actions.
And then he bites it hard.
The seducer knows the consumer all too well.
It can make you want to buy things you normally wouldn't care about.
But there are some people who don't respond well to temptation.
People with high self-esteem.
They are numb to temptations that come from all directions.
Because it is significantly lower than its value.
To put it simply, it doesn't matter if it's not there, it doesn't matter if it's there.
It is no exception that luxury goods are owned by only a few people.
The essential desire for showing off comes from lack.
People who are struggling with credit card bills due to excessive spending, or Kapoor, etc.
For people with high self-esteem, that doesn't mean much.
Because they judge that their own condition is more valuable than theirs.
That means there is little or no inner deficiency.
These people have a high happiness index.
Self-esteem and self-worth are completely separate things.
Another way to boost your self-esteem is simple.
Becoming someone that others need.
If you understand and work on this one thing, your self-esteem will take root and begin to grow.
effort.
Some say it's hard, some say it's obvious, and some say it's easy.
Who said effort was hard?
Think about it.
Is this just a rationalization of the losers' self-consolation?
Who said that effort was taken for granted?
I did it because I thought it was obvious, but it just turned out that way?
Who said it was easy?
Very few people say this.
But they don't compare themselves to others as a standard of difficulty.
To put it simply, it means not being influenced by what other people say.
To give a simpler example,
Let's say someone works 12 hours a day.
What do you think?
Most people will be tired. It will be hard.
There is a high probability that you would think so.
But the latter thinks differently.
Did you work smart? Did you get anything out of it?
What these two mean is value.
Everyone recognizes that it is an area of self-development.
Even in a group, if you become a necessary person, your value will increase and your self-esteem will naturally rise.
Even if we compare these comprehensive things to an organism called Lee Jeong-mi, the same is true.
Have a deficiency.
A lack of what one does not have, and a lack of what one will not be able to achieve in the future.
He was trying to fill it through his son, Lee Jeong-hoon.
But the method was a little wrong.
I've never had one before so I don't know the way very well.
Because she has stronger pride than self-esteem, she doesn't know how to control her emotions.
If you don’t know well and don’t know, you will make mistakes and if that happens… .
As Woojin continued to ponder his thoughts, the thoughts disappeared as if they were evaporating from his mind.
The marbling of 1++ number nine that this chairman is trying to achieve.
“Oh my…”
Woojin approached Chairman Lee, muttering softly.
“Marbling is no joke.”
“Well, it’s top-notch, so it has to be at least this good.”
Chiik-
As soon as the chairman placed the meat on the table, an appetizing smell rose.
That moment.
Woojin's eyebrows twitched.
“Mr. Chairman, I will bake it.”
“It’s okay. I just wanted to bake it for you.
“Now that my daughter is here, I want to feed her myself.”
Woojin shook his head slowly.
“Mr. Chairman. 1++Number Nine doesn’t taste good when cooked like that. Please give me the tongs.”
The chairman had never heard Woojin speak so seriously while playing baduk.
No, from the moment I set foot in his house until now, this is the first time I've seen him look this serious.
“Really? Not only are you good at playing baduk, but you’re also pretty good at grilling meat, right?”
“Please believe me.”
Chairman Lee laughed at Woojin's eyes that looked like they were about to burst into flames and handed him the tongs.
Woojin quickly flipped over exactly twice.
And then the housekeeper put a piece of meat on a white plate and handed it to the chairman.
“Try it.”
“Why is this guy so serious about a piece of meat?”
The chairman said this and brought the meat to his mouth.
Woojin nodded his head slowly while looking at that sight.
It was a look in his eyes that seemed to ask, “What would it be like to have a taste of the truth?”
“Hey… Is this delicious because the meat is good? Or is it because the person who grilled it is good?”
“I think it’s the synergy effect of quality meat and the person grilling it.”
“You’re a person who has a talent for being funny, aren’t you? Haha! Jeongmi. Come here and have a bite too.”
As she approached, Woojin gave her roughly grilled meat.
“Hmm… The meat is juicy, flavorful, and delicious. Is it because a handsome man cooked it for me?”
Woojin, who let her words slide, roughly grilled meat for Chairman Lee and Jeongmi Lee and grilled the meat he was going to eat with all his heart.
————————————————–
That evening.
After finishing work at SH Strategy, Assistant Manager Cha Ju-hyeok stopped his car in a place that looked like a house with soft lights emitting from it.
It was a Korean restaurant.
There were several large pine trees planted at the entrance, which looked strange but beautiful.
Cha Ju-hyuk, who had tidied up his clothes, went inside and was able to enter the room under the guidance of an employee.
Inside, Lee Hye-rim and Woo-jin were sitting, and Woo-jin finished ordering to the employee as if he had been waiting.
At that sight, Cha Joo-hyuk opened his mouth with an awkward smile.
“You could have eaten first…”
“It’s been a while. How have you been?”
“Yes. Thanks to you, I’ve been doing well.”
To be honest, it was a lie.
Working as a spy was like walking on thin ice, and each day was precarious.
Woojin said, folding the wet tissue neatly.
“Thank you for organizing the information so neatly. It was useful information.”
Cha Joo-hyuk let out another awkward laugh.
Even if Lee Hye-rim is like that, Shin Woo-jin, who came to SH Strategy as a low-level employee, still hasn't adapted.
There seemed to be nothing rough or scary about the actions of a younger man than himself.
I'm talking about the Shinwha Group.
I was just really curious about where Lee Hye-rim brought Shin Woo-jin from.
“Hahaha. I appreciate you thinking that way.”
At that time, Lee Hye-rim called out an address.
“Samseong-dong…”
Cha Joo-hyuk asked back with his eyes wide open.
"yes?"
“Shall I call you again?”
“No. I memorized it! What should I do? Tailing? Or maybe going undercover…”
“If you want to move house, you can always move into the apartment complex there.
I wonder if people will be suspicious if I buy it under someone else's name.
That is, unless you follow in the footsteps of Manager Cha Joo-hyuk.
Your mother said she likes plants, right?
The terrace is as wide as a yard, so you can plant flowers and water them. You won't feel lonely.
If everything goes smoothly, the house’s title will change to Mr. Cha Joo-hyuk.”
Cha Joo-hyuk's expression became blank at Lee Hye-rim's unexpected words.
“You don’t have to go this far…”
“Then… what should I do?”
“I think my mother would like it.”
Lee Hye-rim nodded to Assistant Manager Cha Ju-hyeok with a small smile.
There was something thin, square, wrapped in cloth.
“If you go home and try to solve it, you’ll see that it’s a painting.
“If you need urgent money, put it up for auction and I will buy it for you. I will give it to you as a gift.”
"ah…."
Deputy Manager Cha Joo-hyuk felt as if all the hard work he had put in at SH Strategy and sweating profusely had gone in vain.
The apartment complex she pointed out boasted a price range that ordinary office workers could not even dream of.
Although his annual salary was a little over 100 million won, it was an apartment that he could never have imagined in his lifetime.
There's even a picture there.
Assistant Manager Cha Ju-hyeok stood up from his seat and bowed his head deeply.
“Thank you. I will work harder in the future.”
“Please sit down. I prepared this gift because I thought it was natural for someone like me to receive it.”
"thank you."
Cha Joo-hyuk muttered to himself, trying his best to suppress his excitement.
'My person?'
Will you really take me all the way?
Cha Joo-hyuk, who works at SH Strategy, knew Shinwha Group well.
At least more than others.
If anyone damages or causes harm to the image of Shinwha Group, immediate action will be taken.
Either take everything you have or go to prison.
Even if the utility value is low, it is the same.
Will I be able to go all the way with them?
Will you take me with you?
At that time, Assistant Manager Cha Ju-hyeok felt Woo-jin's gaze and smiled awkwardly.
And he threw out the words as if he was hiding his thoughts.
“Director Shin Woo-jin seems to be getting more handsome as the days go by.”
“Mr. Cha.”
"yes?"
“We will be together until the end.”
Woojin, who had been speaking as if he was surprising Assistant Manager Cha Joo-hyuk, continued speaking.
“Miss Lee Hye-rim wants you, Mr. Cha Dae-ri, to become the new guardian of Shinwha Group. At SH Strategy.”
Assistant Manager Cha Ju-hyeok's head naturally turned to Lee Hye-rim.
She nods slowly, smiling faintly.
And then he opened his mouth.
“Soon, the Shinwha Group’s legal team will be activated due to the Shinwha Chronicles.
“I want to hear. What kind of stories will come and go?”
Cha Joo-hyuk understood what Lee Hye-rim said right away.
“The recording has no legal effect…”
Assistant Manager Cha Ju-hyeok's words were cut off by Woo-jin's voice, who was looking at the water glass with the phoenix engraved on it.
“This is the craftsman’s touch…
The media will be effective. No matter how much you block it, it will swell with the rapids and the dam will break…”
This can also be called politics.
And the flower of politics is agitation.
“If I can’t hold it in, it’ll explode… boom.”
