The Chairman Who Has No Regrets Episode 186 – In America (7)

Again, again, again.

At first, she seemed to follow along well, but as time passed, Choi Min-ah’s gait became slower.

“Someone who works at Pfeiffer.”

Although I implied a lot, Choi Min-ah seemed to understand. She looked at my shoes with a face of bewilderment before meeting my eyes again.

“And the shareholder who does that.”

I shrugged and placed one foot on the blocking device. The Imperial Group logo was clearly engraved on the side of the sole of my shoe.

“uh…”

These shoes are old, but they were personally repaired by Gyu-il’s mother. The soles were personally repaired, saying that they were the best for the Empire. They are said to be custom-made shoes from the Empire Group.

“Tsk.”

I clicked my tongue, lowered my leg again, and walked down the street. Choi Min-ah followed me with a pouty face, as if trying to tell a joke or something.

“So where are you going?”

They only talk politely but have no manners.

I didn’t want to ask that of the noble Kyushu family. We wouldn’t be seeing each other for long anyway.

“I’m just walking around to see where is a good place to visit.”

“Oh my – there’s nothing to see here, let’s take a taxi and I’ll show you a good place.”

“Where?”

“If you go that way, you’ll reach 3rd Street.”

“Okay.”

I know that famous place too.

“Well, then Times Square, I guess.”

“That’s fine too.”

I’m sick of it.

After all, what I wanted to do with my sisters and mother later on was to share my slightly faded memories, not to get hit by people at famous tourist attractions.

I’m sure my sisters and mother would take thirty pictures in front of Times Square, but anyway.

“It’s a dud, a dud. You have two sisters-in-law, right? Do you have many children? Sigh-”

There was a lot of muttering behind me, but I ignored it and walked down the street. I wondered what kind of stores and restaurants there would be on the outskirts.

Even though I spent so much time in New York, I didn’t know anything about it except for one Big Daddy food truck. Most of my meals consisted of fast food.

It wasn’t because I didn’t have money.

It was because I didn’t have time.

In that battlefield where hundreds of millions, or even billions, were traded with a single click, time was more valuable than gold and trillions of dollars.

During the one-hour meal break, how much trading volume would be raised on Wall Street? It was unimaginable. It was only natural, since the amount would vary from day to day.

“Oh, there was something like that.”

therefore.

Aside from Choi Min-ah’s difficulties, I’ve really enjoyed the process of getting to know New York.

Because I was feeling that there was this kind of fun in the process of recalling things I didn’t know, or things I knew but ignored. More precisely, through those things, the small moments with the guys from Sanggye-dong, the happy times with my family, and the happy moments to come come to mind.

It must have been about two hours since we started walking aimlessly.

“I won’t do it, I can’t do it, I won’t do it even if I die!”

“If it’s about marriage, it’s common sense.”

“Profit! Why? What about me!”

Choi Min-ah, who was at least using formal language that didn’t seem formal, is now openly using informal language. She glanced down at her feet and saw that the sides of her feet were red. Her toes and soles probably weren’t in good condition either.

Looking at her pure white instep, without any scars or wrinkles, I couldn’t help but hate the life she lived without ever knowing what hardship was.

Never, ever would I have a mind that would find it difficult to understand our family.

“hmm.”

Coincidentally, what was visible behind Choi Min-ah’s face, which was honking her horns, was the signboard of Ppex.

Choi Min-a’s face brightens as she nervously turns around, as if she sensed my gaze.

“Let’s go there!”

Before even hearing my answer, he was complaining that he couldn’t walk until just a moment ago, but now he’s walking with a limp, so I wonder where he got the strength from.

Since I had plans to stop by someday anyway, I walked towards Pfeiffer without saying anything.

As I got closer, I saw a few customers. Most of them were families with young children.

“Surely, it seems to be selling well?”

Choi Min-a doesn’t answer my question, but instead shows my business card to the employee.

“Hello.”

The employee, who appeared to be a Korean-American, bowed his head and greeted me in slightly awkward Korean. In any case, it seemed like a normal greeting since the management team was there.

“Let me look at your shoes.”

“Yes, please take it easy.”

Choi Min-a, who threw away her high heels as if throwing them away, walks barefoot and checks the designs of various shoes.

They’re shoes.

Now that I think about it, the first gift I gave to my family in this life was shoes. And it’s already been half a year since then.

“Oh, this sounds good.”

Choi Min-a, holding a pair of sneakers with a pink logo as a focal point on a pair of pure white shoes, asked the employee.

“There’s 230, right?”

“230?”

The employee tilts his head as if he doesn’t know.

“Huh? How come the staff doesn’t even know the size?”

I shook my head and then recalled the American standard shoe size system.

“Size 6, show me that.”

“Oh, yes! I understand.”

The employee greeted them brightly and moved to the warehouse, and Choi Min-ah blushed slightly and coughed.

“Someone who works for Pfeiffer. Tsk.”

Crackle crackle.

I end up shaking my head again.

“Oh, no!”

“Let’s study.”

“……”

Choi Min-ah bit her lower lip and sat down on the sofa, which was made to be comfortable for putting on shoes.

An employee who had come over before she knew it put his shoe down in front of her feet.

“Did you choose the design you like?”

Choi Min-ah answers my question blankly without even looking at me.

“This is a new product that just came out. It’s a bit more expensive because it uses higher quality materials, but they say the quality is excellent.”

I nodded my head, thinking that surprisingly, they had studied that kind of thing. Since Ppex was transferred from Imperial Group to Gyeongseon Group and was released anew, they must have put a lot of effort into the design as well.

Since it was the first product, I thought it would be the face of the competition, so the Choi Tae-woong I know was at least not an incompetent person.

“Do you have socks too?”

At Min-a Choi’s question, the employee smiles and takes out a pair of socks wrapped in plastic from the pocket of the uniform he is wearing. The socks also have the Ppex logo clearly visible.

Choi Min-ah was hurriedly trying to put on her socks.

“ah!”

I groaned without realizing it, my skin stinging from the scratches and rubbing from my high heels. I absentmindedly picked up the shoes that Choi Min-ah was about to wear and felt them here and there.

“Do you have the same product in men’s size, 9.5?”

“The design is a little different for men.”

“No problem. Please give me one of the same product.”

“Yes, I will bring it to you right away.”

While the staff disappeared somewhere again, Choi Min-a, who was slowly putting on her socks, carefully put her feet into her sneakers. I knelt down on one knee and pushed Choi Min-a’s feet into her shoes.

“Ah! What are you doing now!”

Then, rub the instep, the ball of the foot, and also feel the tip of the tongue.

“This, this.”

“Is it comfortable?”

“Uh, uh… It’s comfortable, but…”

And give the other side a try too.

“Try to move.”

“Oh, yes.”

Choi Min-ah, who had returned to using formal language without realizing it, paid no attention and stared intently at her moving legs and feet.

“Try jumping.”

“Oh, like this?”

Choi Min-a was jumping up and down low, and I looked at her face. If the soles or sides of her feet were injured, it might be difficult to move.

Choi Min-a, her face red, avoids my gaze without grimacing in pain.

“It definitely looks like it was made properly.”

I like the quality of the Pfeiffer.

Pfex, which had been building brand recognition worldwide, was indeed a coveted one. If it hadn’t been for that unfortunate fate, I think it might have been pretty good.

An employee who had come over before I knew it placed a pair of shoes that looked very similar to Choi Min-ah’s in front of my feet. I took off my shoes and immediately put on the sneakers.

I tried them on in various poses, but I definitely thought they were good sneakers. They were better than the Tiger sneakers my older sister had given me as a gift.

“Not bad. Three in women’s size 6. Please pack them for me.”

Choi Min-ah suddenly interrupted my remarks to the staff.

“Oh, I’m going to report it?”

I stared blankly at Choi Min-ah.

“But?”

“Huh? No, I just said it was wrapped.”

“Ms. Choi Min-ah, please take care of your shoes.”

Choi Min-ah blinked and made a face as if wondering what was going on.

“No, just a moment ago, you were touching my leg… staring at me… Weren’t you going to buy me shoes because you felt bad?”

Crackle crackle.

That’s a serious condition.

Pretty appearance.

Not a bad family.

I guess I lived by supporting the golden jade leaf.

Illusion is freedom, but I had no interest in Choi Min-ah at all. My younger sister didn’t seem to be that much either. Well, she’s not pretty enough to compare to my older sisters.

“I think we both talked about marriage in a normal way.”

“Profit, what the hell are you telling me to do with this rhythm…”

Choi Min-ah, unable to finish swearing, bites her lower lip again.

Just because I’m not married doesn’t mean I don’t know women. It’s a question I’ll have to discuss later, but at least, even if I wasn’t dating, countless women passed me by.

In a country like America, sometimes, even if it’s not romance or love, there are many cases where things get entangled in business. When I put on my shoes, I wonder if I didn’t notice the look in Choi Min-ah’s eyes as she looked at me with a face like, “Well, then, okay.”

“Ah, Choi Min-ah.”

“Why! No, why!”

I really have no interest whatsoever.

I decided to draw a line.

“Do you offer employee discounts?”

Choi Min-ah shakes her head.

“Really… Come back… With the employee discount, please pay for it all together.”

I asked Choi Min-ah what she said.

“Oh, are you buying it for me? Then even the thing I’m wearing.”

Choi Min-ah opened her mouth as if her lower jaw had fallen off. Then, the employee who understood what I said smiled and took the wad of bills in Choi Min-ah’s hand.

**

Choi Tae-woong, who was just about to move for breakfast, frowned.

Ring ring ring.

Because a phone ringing early in the morning usually doesn’t bring good news.

“Take it and try it.”

“Yes, father.”

Since the meal hadn’t started yet, Choi Tae-woong obediently picked up the phone.

“I got a call.”

-What do you want me to do with that brat?- Isn’t that really too much, little dad?

“Oh, it’s Minah.”

-I said I didn’t like it when you attached it to that little bastard. What kind of beggar is that?

At the sound of Min-a coming from Choi Tae-woong’s mouth, Chairman Choi, who was just scooping up soup, puts down his spoon and looks at Choi Tae-woong.

Choi Tae-woong shook his head slightly.

Chairman Choi clicked his tongue, completely turned his attention away from the phone, and started moving his spoon again.

– Seriously, as I live, what am I lacking that makes me a fucking idiot? Isn’t that idiot crazy? Where would he find a woman like me?

“Um, okay. You worked hard, Min-ah. My brother has plans starting in the morning, so let’s hang up now.”

-Hey! Hey! Choi Tae-woong! Hey…

Crunch.

As soon as Choi Tae-woong put down the receiver and sat down.

“Didn’t you say it didn’t work out?”

“Yes, I think so.”

“Tsk tsk, Mina, the only thing you can see is your face… Anyway.”

Chairman Choi stared at Choi Tae-woong.

“It’s your blood anyway. Even if it’s not mixed as much, it’s still the same.”

“Yes, father.”

“Did you like him enough to hug Min-ah like that?”

“Yes, I am sure, Father.”

The image of Jeon Kang flashed through Choi Tae Woong’s mind. Choi Tae Woong wanted to put Jeon Kang, who smelled like money, in his wallet.

“Hmm… Well, since you’ve proven it with your achievements, I won’t say anything else.”

“Yes, father.”

“The higher you slip, the more dangerous it is.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“Tsk tsk, Mina, what are you going to use that for?”

Just as I was about to lift the spoon.

Chairman Choi asked Choi Tae-woong again.

“So, what does he do in America?”

“It looks like we’re going to establish an investment corporation.”

“Then it will be proven soon.”

“Yes, father.”

“Okay, let’s see what our son’s eyes look like.”

Choi Tae-woong swallowed hard.

It’s not because I’m scared of my father.

I was nervous that my father would take away my teachings.
