Honey, I’m not going in today

Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong’s proposal was simple.
―Leave the construction of the data center to the rational group.
We will build it quickly and with good quality at a low price.
At first, it was a suggestion I liked.
‘This kind of thing can be done very well by a group of the opposite sex.’
What are the characteristics of Korean conglomerates?
Expansion of the octopus foot business, quickly and quickly, there was a characteristic of doing better overseas than domestically.
Isung Electronics can take charge of semiconductors and Isung Construction construction, and various subsidiaries will procure necessary parts.
Lee Sung Group is a company whose strengths are meticulous and fast work.
If you use overseas networks, it would be good to select a site for data center construction or to obtain construction permits.
‘There is no Korean company that is as good at IT as Lee Sung Group. If you think about it, there are many advantages.’
However, I would say that it is a little regretful to accept the offer suddenly.
As for business, it was necessary to tap the calculator.
What level can the opposite sex group offer?
What are the benefits and opportunities to consume from earth resources?
It was necessary to make a decision after negotiating several negotiations in the field of practice.
‘But Earth Resource doesn’t have a practitioner in this field.’
Since the data center was just being built in the US, there was a person in charge of construction, but there was no person in charge of connecting to other companies.
“That sounds like a good offer, so let’s consider it. I’m not exactly familiar with this field, so I’ll talk about it later. We need to hear the opinions of practitioners first.”
I sneakily expressed my intention to see the liver.
I guess it’s similar to saying that you like the clothes at a clothing store, but you’ll look around a bit and come back.
Or is it similar to asking how much you can discount at an electronics store?

Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong readily accepted.
“haha. Yes. You should. I would like to actively cooperate with Earth Resources, but it is fortunate that there is no contracted company first. The construction cost of the data center currently under construction, the cost when entrusted to another company. Even if you look at all the quotes and weigh them, working in a group of the opposite sex will make sure that the best choice for Earth Resources.”
“Thank you very much for the offer.”
I met a lot of people while doing business, and it felt like I was learning something every time.

Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong was bold.
A person who is not sensitive to things like the rich and poor in Korea and places importance on business success.
‘Certainly, if it were me, I might have been narrow-minded. It must be because I have been doing business for a long time with the whole world.’

At Isung Biologics, team leader Ahn Myeong-guk’s shoulders stood high.
“Hehehe.”
I received business cards from Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong’s entourage and senior executives of the Lee Sung Group, and made a separate appointment for a meal.
It is a necessary activity for work, but as an office worker, being able to connect with the top of the opposite sex group felt great pride.
‘This is how the executive director of Bio Life is.’
Would you say that your social status changes depending on what kind of company you work for?
And Seo Jong-gi, the head of the support team, looked dejected.
“Whoa.”
An occasional sigh.
I received an unexpected Bentley SUV, a 300 million vehicle, as a gift, but I feel empty somewhere.
Even if team leader Ahn Myeong-guk leaves after getting a new job, he will remain at Arcor.
‘Is it possible to maintain this car with my salary?’
When it comes to cars, you only need to put gas in and drive during the free repair period, but it will feel like you are getting hit by the annual insurance premium.
“Team Leader Seo, when I get a chance, I’ll try to tell CEO Kim Shin if there is a suitable position.”
“Thank you for doing so. But they’re already calling me CEO.”
“Even when you’re not there, of course. This is not a social life.”

It was around evening when I finished my schedule at Isung Biologics.
It was thanks to the lengthy conversation with Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong.
“It is hot. It’s a pity to break up like this after seeing you for a long time, would you two like a beer?”
“Is that so?”
“Okay, what.”
We all went to a pub in Songdo.
Although the staff were surprised at the Hope House, where there were no guests who arrived with bodyguards.
We sat down at the corner of the table, drank beer and chatted about a few things.
Things like things you need to know, including the story of Dr. Lee Ho-yeon of Biolife.
“yep. I will be familiar with it.”
“a. Don’t be respectful and speak comfortably.”
“Can you do that? He is the CEO of the company who has the right to live and die.”
“The right to escape life and death. And this is not even a company.”
Ahn Myeong-guk smiled and said.
“When talking about work, it should be done with respect. When I was the boss at work, he came in as a new employee and taught me a lot of things. The position has changed and now I have a lot to learn, so I have to show respect.”
“Do you think it could be inconvenient?”
“Let’s try to make it more natural. I am not from the MZ generation, so this is more comfortable.”
Ahn Myung-guk, the team leader, seemed like he would fit into any company, so I wasn’t too worried.
I drank a beer and then another.
It reminded me of when I collapsed while drinking with the actors two days ago.
Nevertheless, it was a day when the taste of beer felt exceptionally cool.
If negotiations with the opposite sex group go well, the growth rate of earth resources will be faster.
It’s something that I couldn’t even dare to do until recently, but it seems like Google or MS can be seen from afar.
KakaoTalk!
―Jin Yu-kyung: I heard you are in Songdo!
KakaoTalk!
―Jin Yoo-gyeong: Go to Iseong Biologics and meet Vice Chairman Seon Jae-yong.
KakaoTalk!
―Jin Yu-gyeong: How did you know? If you go around, articles will come out soon.
KakaoTalk!
―Jin Yu-kyung: I heard that they are drinking beer at a pub right now. You’d better run away quickly. It’s on social media, there’s even an article about it, and there must be a lot of onlookers flocking to it.
I looked at my phone and looked out the window.
There was a crowd of people on the other side of the pub, so they couldn’t get in.
The store owner and staff seemed to have locked the door altogether.
“Aren’t we sabotaging business? You don’t have to do that.”
“I am one of those Seohak ants. I earned money to open two stores. Enjoy your meal. haha.”
I never thought I would meet Seohak ants like this.
They said there were a lot of Seohak ants, but there seemed to be a lot of them.
Even so, it could hinder business, and there was a possibility that an unpleasant accident could occur if people flocked to it.
“I have to go and see. Then I’ll see you later.”
Guided by the bodyguards, I came out quietly through the kitchen door.

After Kim Shin left, Ahn Myeong-guk and Seo Jong-ki continued to tip their beer glasses.
“But what about the Bentley?”
“Shall I call the deputy? not. Better to just park it in the parking lot and pick it up tomorrow.”
So many good things have happened since then.
“Wait a minute, call your wife.”
Ahn Myeong-guk proudly took out his cell phone.
I couldn’t even inform my wife because I was in the middle of the day, but great news was prepared.
Bentley moved to Biolife.
The reason I didn’t discuss it with my wife in advance was because it was an offer I couldn’t refuse.
The salary was said to be 500 million.
This is a staggering amount, but BioLife’s sales will jump exponentially this year and next.
Do you plan to give employees several times their annual salary as incentives?
‘I work full-time. really… … .’
Ahn Myeong-guk made up his mind and called his wife.
“honey. It’s me. Something great happened today.”
I will explain what happened today.
I will share the joy with you, and tell you that the future financial worries, including the children’s school fees, are over.
The car that Bentley was preparing for the explanation.
He heard his wife’s angry voice.
―You’ve been doing something all day, and now call me. Why didn’t you answer the phone earlier!
“uh. sorry. I didn’t get it because I was meeting important people.”
– Who are the people? No kids at home on Saturdays!
My wife looks angry, but I was confident to convince her.
I was worried about Arkor’s situation these days, and if I told him that I was meeting Kim Shin for no reason, he would ask me to ask for a job, so I just didn’t tell him in advance.
“Still, there are so many good things today, so listen for a moment. I’ll explain it to you now.”
-what. Have you been drinking?
A very good wife for drinking and playing.
“I’m not drunk, I just had a little beer.”
―You drink from early evening and your number increases. somewhere now?
“Songdo.”
―Good, very good. Do you go there and have a drink?
“It’s not like that. I had a beer while I came to Songdo to meet people on business. Do you know who I met today?”
-What do I know? There is a bar in Songdo, what do you have to do there? Do you know how much your children’s school fees cost? What do you do when you become a head of household and go out drinking on the weekend?
Ignoring and aggressive tone.
From now on, according to the set pattern, nagging about parenting will continue.
When I went home after working at the company, I was guilty of neglecting childcare and household chores.
If you even refute that you worked for the company, a fight will break out right away, so I have endured dozens of times.
As always, I tried to be patient while thinking of my children.
But how long do I have to live with being ignored?
―I’m always late because I’m working at a real company. I do all the hardships because of my husband.
“… … .”
―If you think of your wife who is struggling at home, you should think about helping at home on the weekend. Pop out and meet your friends.
“… … .”
―Do you call after drinking? why. What time did you call to come in?
Eventually, a word came out.
“honey. I’m not going home today.”

Yeouido Han River Park.
On a hot summer day, I saw families enjoying the river breeze, laying out mats and resting, or people enjoying a walk.
―Kim Shin: I have arrived.
―Joshua: I am sitting on the steps by the river.
A one-day date with Jo Soo-ah.
Since the media and public interest was so great, I had no choice but to find time in the late evening.
‘There he is.’
Jo Soo-ah sitting on the stairs.
He pulls out a can of coffee from the vending machine for her and approaches her.
In the meantime, there were three men talking to Joshua.
‘It’s still there. Popularity… … .’
She has a slim and attractive appearance built through exercise.
It was Jo Soo-ah who hated the private contact of doctors when she was at Arcor.
I waited for a while, believing that she would reject it on her own.
However, Jo Soo-ah gave her number, and the men registered on their cell phones and left.
“… … ?”
I went closer to Jo Soo-ah and handed out a can of coffee.
“hi.”
“When did you come?”
“just now. But did you give those guys your number a moment ago?”
“I see. I gave you Na Sang-guk’s number.”
“… … .”
I picked Beauty’s number and called with a swollen heart, but if Na Sang-guk answered, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
“Why is Nasang-guk?”
“He keeps begging me to eat with him.”
“Is it?”
“yes. It has been since the beginning of the company.”
After all, was it the right thing to filter Na Sang-guk?
As I was sitting on the stairs, people’s eyes were gathering.
Even if they don’t recognize me wearing a hat, sunglasses, and even a mask, Jo Soo-ah’s appearance attracts people.
Because the top part of the mask gave off the feeling of a beauty.
“Should I walk?”
“like.”
I walked along the Han River while drinking canned coffee with Jo Soo-ah.
families, children.
The beautifully lit bridges of the Han River.
It felt like healing just by walking along the Han River in the evening.
“I couldn’t keep my promise to make time once a month because I was busy. Sorry.”
“no. It was about saving people.”
I thought while having a conversation with Jo Soo-ah in a comfortable atmosphere.
I thought I was lonely all my life.
Because the scars of not being loved since childhood and living with anxiety don’t easily disappear.
I didn’t think about anything until I lived in fear because I didn’t have money.
After the coin hit the jackpot, I thought a lot about how to live and what it means to live.
Would you say that the life you lived while saving a penny and saving a penny has lost its meaning?
I travel to find myself, and now I do business in the US.
If I had stayed in Korea, I wondered if I would have had a serious relationship with Jo Soo-ah.
to love, to be loved
I wonder if I could feel the happiness of building a family while giving birth and raising a child.
and words that come to mind.
‘They say you have to run when you feel like this…’ … .’
