The Chairman Who Has No Regrets Episode 95 – A determined mind.

—Carve your heart into your bones

To engrave something so deeply in one’s heart that it becomes engraved in one’s bones that one never forgets it.

Crunch.

The front door of the Kyungseon Group mansion opens, and the servants and family members inside the mansion welcome the chairman.

Choi Tae-woong also greets his father, the current chairman of Kyungsun Group, as if he had been waiting for them.

“Thank you for your hard work, Father.”

Chairman Choi tilted his head as he looked at his son who was welcoming him.

“There’s no way I ran out of pocket money.”

Choi Tae-woong chuckles, knowing that it’s a joke.

“Let’s have a cup of tea, Father.”

“Yeah, not bad before a meal.”

Chairman Choi nodded and went to his room, and Taewoong Choi nodded to one of the servants and went into the study. After a while, the servant brought out some tea, and then Chairman Choi came in and sat down on the sofa in the study.

“It’s not a living room, it’s a study.”

Chairman Choi stares blankly at the pile of documents on the table in front of the sofa.

“Is this your business?”

“Yes, father.”

Sharak, Sharak.

Chairman Choi tilts his head as he slowly looks over the documents.

“Why the Imperial Group accounting data?”

“I heard that Chairman Yang avoided the call from the Blue House in Busan.”

“It sounds nice to avoid it, but it’s just ignoring it.”

“Yes, I heard that the Blue House is upset about that.”

“Where did that gentleman’s personality go?”

Choi Tae-woong nodded in agreement with his father’s words and took a deep breath before getting back to the main point.

“I predict that the Imperial Group will take the path of dissolution.”

Chairman Choi’s eyes, who were slowly looking at the documents, become sharp.

“dissolution?”

“yes.”

“Why?”

“I heard that the reason you ignored the call from the Blue House in Busan was because you were busy. Due to various issues with the bank, your financial situation is very bad.”

Chairman Choi nods his head.

It was something he knew too.

Because he was clearly advised by the Blue House not to help the Imperial Group.

“so?”

“Even in that situation, I didn’t bow my head.”

“Are you in conflict with the Blue House?”

“Is our evaluation important? Is the Blue House’s evaluation important?”

“Does that mean it looks like you’re rebelling?”

As Choi Tae-woong nodded, Chairman Choi finally put down the documents he was holding and focused on his son.

“so?”

“I think the power of the current administration is reaching its end.”

Chairman Choi also nods his head in agreement to some extent.

“Yes, the sewage water is leaking out little by little.”

“I think in this situation, it may be too much to say that your position is secure.”

“Hoo.”

“If we leave the rebellious Imperial Group alone, other group companies will also be able to take action.”

“The old people who hid their bodies like Zara are standing up together?”

“Even if the Blue House is being corrupt, isn’t it because its power is strong that it is enduring it? Isn’t it because it is waiting for its strength to wane if it gets hit first?”

Chairman Choi chuckles at the honest words.

“Yeah, me too.”

“I don’t think the Blue House is unaware of such thoughts. I think they won’t push themselves harder because they don’t want to appear weak. They have a reasonable excuse, don’t they?”

“Hoo… Is this a prediction that came from your head?”

When Choi Tae-woong hesitated to answer for a brief moment, Chairman Choi caught that moment.

“It looks like there are some good people around you.”

“Yes, father.”

“Yes, it is an insight worth keeping. Use it wisely, and don’t be stingy with the money. Such things will bring you more money one day.”

“I will keep this in mind.”

“Are you done writing? Haha.”

Chairman Choi’s face softens even more as he feels good seeing his son using even letters he doesn’t normally use.

“I will never forget this, it’s engraved in my bones. It’s a relief to know that I won’t be going out and doing useless things.”

Choi Tae-woong smiled bitterly at the strange mix of praise and criticism. Still, he tried to console himself by saying that he had achieved the desired results.

Chairman Choi, who had taken a sip of tea, touched the documents that Choi Tae-woong had prepared and asked.

“In summary, the group’s disbandment is almost a done deal, so let’s talk about what kind of eggs we put in our baskets.”

“Yes, father.”

“What a wise idea.”

Chairman Choi raises the corners of his mouth for the first time. Choi Tae-woong shouts inwardly, “Enough!” and pretends to be calm as he speaks his thoughts.

“Here, I think we should bring construction and shoemaking.”

“Not bad.”

“yes.”

“I guess I should give you a generous reward. The benefits you’ll gain are not small. There’s no need to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Feed them more healthily and well. I’ll tell the planning department separately, so take whatever you need, whether it’s money or people.”

“Yes, Father!”

**

The hand of my grandmother, who was holding my hand, was trembling.

“Oh my, take this off.”

“Hey! Just a moment, Grandma.”

“What is it?”

“They’re all here.”

Still, she received treatment at the hospital, and her coughing has been greatly reduced. Of course, if she stops taking painkillers, she will start coughing right away, but perhaps because of the painkillers, her wrinkles have smoothed out a little bit, instead of her frowning face.

“Oh, really, I’m going home.”

“They really are all here, all.”

After wandering through the alleys of the shantytown, never being allowed to take off the blindfold, I finally arrived at my grandmother’s house.

“Okay, shall we take it off now?”

“Quick, take it off! Quick.”

When I took off the blindfold, he started to twitch.

Blink your eyes to adjust to the light.

And then soon, once the house, once me, and once the neighborhood.

Again and again, here and there, and again and again.

“Isn’t this leisure time?”

I chuckled and walked briskly, tapping the dark brown nameplate hanging on the white wall as I spoke.

“Read it, Grandma.”

The old woman came closer, squinted her eyes, and slowly read the letters.

“River··· S··· Ja···”

“Is that your grandmother’s name?”

“Oh my, is this really my home?”

“Yes, Grandma, this is your house.”

“What the hell. Oh my, oh my!”

The grandmother strokes the pure white wall here and there. Then, she suddenly stops and looks at the green grass and flowers drawn on the wall for a long time.

“It’s so annoying···”

“The three siblings drew it, Grandma.”

“Oh my, I can almost believe that it’s a real flower. Doesn’t it smell like something?”

“Haha, yes. It smells good.”

My nostrils are ticklish, and the smell of paint is thick. But for some reason, a part of my chest feels warm and there is a scent that keeps making me feel good.

Moisture filled Grandma’s cloudy eyes.

“Hey, you haven’t even looked inside yet?”

I quickly opened the cedar-finished front door and led my grandmother inside.

“Oh my!”

The grandmother opened her eyes wide again in surprise, as if asking when she had shed tears.

Grandma’s house, which used to be gloomy, is now filled with bright light. The yellow lights that make people feel comfortable naturally create a warm atmosphere.

I guided them through each room, strangely pointing to the place where my grandmother always drank doraji tea with me. There was a wooden door finished with cypress in every room. Just entering the house made me feel refreshed as if the smell of phytoncide filled the air.

I asked architect Kim Up-joong to pay special attention to air purification, especially for my grandmother who has poor lung function, and he designed it to my full satisfaction.

“Good… good, huh? Very good.”

There seems to be no lie in what my grandmother said.

The old man walks quickly and looks around the rooms. I quietly bring the old woman in and take her to the place where I used to drink doraji tea, and I sit her down on a rocking chair.

“Oh my! What a surprise!”

It looks awkward at first, but soon the corners of his lips lift up as if he is satisfied with the pleasant shaking.

Choke, choke.

I opened the ivory curtains as they were, because this was the highlight of the house.

As I opened the curtains loudly, my grandmother’s gaze naturally turned to the yellow wall that she and I always looked at together.

“Oh my···”

Now, on a new white wall instead of a yellow wall, there is a mural depicting the person my grandmother loves the most, alive and breathing. And there is a picture of my grandmother in her younger days, holding his hand tightly.

Step, step.

The grandmother walked towards the mural and, unable to bring herself to touch it, reached out and picked it up repeatedly.

“It doesn’t get erased, Grandma. It doesn’t even get affected by rain.”

“Is that so?”

“yes.”

Only then did she reach out and carefully caress the face of her beloved husband.

“Macro.”

My grandmother’s voice trembles as she calls me. She is holding back tears and sorrow.

“Yes, Grandma.”

“Our inspiration, isn’t he great?”

“Yes, Grandma, you’re cool.”

“This rotten old man… the whole wall… the whole wall?”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A grandmother beating her chest in a painting.

“Get out… Get out, how long have I been waiting? Get out… Get out, you old man, how long have I been waiting? Huh? This rotten old man… Yes! I don’t know!”

Thud, thud.

Within, gushing, gushing.

“What are you doing there… Do you have a handful of powdered sugar, and a single fingernail? This damn old man… You don’t have a single hair on your head! Why… I looked everywhere… I looked everywhere… Powdered sugar, a hair, you burned all that stuff, how are you? Did you leave a single thing at home… Is it all there?”

Yelled. Scolded.

The grandmother, who kept pounding and stroking her chest and even fondling the feet in the picture, could not stop talking.

“I searched for him like crazy… I’m still looking and catching him, but I can’t let those bastards in… I’ll be there soon, so don’t say anything… It’s not like that’s what I wanted… Are you doing well? That damn old man… Did you catch him without me even seeing him? You probably even dreamed of him once… Anyway, being ruthless is a universal thing, isn’t it?”

Shoes, pants, shirt, hands.

As if she was wiping the painting clean, black and white stains were all over the grandmother’s hands, but she didn’t care and kept sweeping and wiping them like a rag or a broom, then soon stopped at the face again.

“Seeing a small way … I have to see it.

It’s a longing that sinks deep into your bones.

Is that what it is?

Before I knew it, something hot was flowing down my cheek.

It seemed like a really great thing.

The image of my grandmother crying seemed to overlap with the image of my future mother. There is something I must show her before she gets older than me, when she is healthier than me, but I am worried because the road to that point will not be smooth.

“Look, look, look.”

My grandmother kept repeating over and over that she wanted to see me for a long time.

My mother would have to climb Mt. Bukhan to see everything I’ve made at a glance, so I should finish it while her knees are still a little bit stronger and she can walk a little bit more.

There’s a helicopter, but it’s too late.

As soon as possible.

Soon.

The longing that runs through my mother’s bones.

I need to resolve this.
