Chapter 7 Won’t You Make a Contract with Me? (1)

Kim Hyo-san honestly had some expectations.

Since Takemiya favored him so much, he must have had some part in pressuring the hotel vice president.

However, it is said that the direct cause was a cooking mistake in the Baekdu Hotel kitchen.

“It’s fortunate for the Seohae Hotel. It was the Baekdu Hotel chef who made a mistake.”

“Yes, Chef Kim, you have nothing to be thankful for.”

“No, but thank you anyway, Representative Da Kemiya.”

“Actually, I wanted to help you out just to see your face. But, as an outsider, I thought it would be a bit rude to interfere too much with the internal management of the Seohae Hotel. So I held back, but it just didn’t work out.”

“I’ll have to meet the chef at Baekdu Hotel later and buy him a big meal.”

“Do so.”

‘Yes, that’s the real face of Representative Makemiya.’

He is a very bright and kind person, enjoys delicacies, and is generous with them.

So, there are often some employees who mistake him for someone else.

However, Makemiya never spends a single penny or a single second of effort on anything he doesn’t like.

Another example is giving each employee a tip of 2 million won in return for extending the business of a closed restaurant.

They calculate that by giving that much, the store and employees will be happy even if they have to stay open for extended periods.

“Our restaurant will not disappoint you. Please look forward to it.”

“You know. I’ve never regretted eating Chef Kim’s cooking. There have been many times when I’ve regretted not being able to eat it.”

Kim Hyo-san left with a light smile, and Makemiya talked to Jeong Seo-hee.

“You fought with your dad again this time?”

“The rumor has spread that far? Anyway, it seems like my father is not an adult anymore.”

“What is it this time?”

“Haven’t you heard that yet, or are you just checking with me one more time?”

“I heard about it, but I’m dumbfounded. You said you tried to borrow money using the building in Cheongdam-dong as collateral? Is that true?”

“It’s true.”

Makemiya let out a small sigh.

“oh my god.”

He pressed his fingertips against his forehead, and Jeong Seo-hee shrugged her shoulders.

“If I want to take the old factory, you’re telling me to buy it at a premium on top of the regular price. What else can I do?”

“So you’re borrowing money using the building as collateral?”

“I originally put it up for sale on a real estate website. I thought that my father would only hand over the old factory if I paid that much. But you interfered in the middle and it fell through. It was even a popular listing on a real estate portal, tsk.”

The reason Jeong Seo-hee fought with her father was nothing special.

JM Foods put the old factory up for sale, and when Jeong Seo-hee heard about it, she threw a tantrum and demanded that it be given to her.

JM Food CEO Jeong Jae-min, who had no intention of making his daughter a businesswoman, naturally opposed it.

-Absolutely not! If you want the factory, buy it at a premium on top of the regular price! But you don’t have money, do you? Hahahaha!

-Okay. I’ll raise the money even if it means selling the building you gave me.

-no!

The situation is roughly like this.

Makemiya took a deep breath.

“What are you going to do with that tiny factory you took over? It’s a ramen factory, but can you actually make any ramen?”

“Why aren’t there any? We have many types of JM Foods.”

“If you use that recipe, Jaemin will immediately sue you for patent infringement and make a fuss.”

“Are you going to use recipes that aren’t patented? Recipes whose protection period has expired.”

“Would ramen made with that old recipe sell well?”

“While doing that, we are slowly developing technology and establishing ourselves. If we sell the Cheongdam-dong building, we will have enough money to start the business.”

“Honestly, you have no intention of selling it. You’re just threatening your father with the building. Right?”

As Makemiya hit the nail on the head, Jeong Seo-hee’s expression, which had been haughty the whole time, softened somewhat.

She soon chuckled as if she had no choice.

“That’s right. You really know my heart so well, mister. You’re like a ghost.”

“I didn’t tell Jaemin on purpose.”

“thank you.”

“Still, I should show it to my future daughter-in-law in advance. There’s no need to step forward and lose points.”

“Which one is my favorite, Jinseok or you? I’m a little confused, too.”

“Of course, both. Of course, Jinseok is looking at you more passionately. And as a caring father, I want to grant my son’s wish. And since that wish matches mine, it’s the icing on the cake.”

“No matter how much I think about it, I just can’t kiss Jinseok. Just thinking about it makes me sick.”

“With someone like our Jinseok, you’ll never hear anyone say that he’s lacking in character.”

“I’ve been watching you since you were a baby. You’re so annoying. I just want to leave you as my younger sibling.”

While we were talking, the courses started to come out one after another.

“Song-i again? I’m telling you, mister Song-i’s love is still the same.”

While saying that, Jeong Seo-hee was also really savoring the taste of the roasted pine mushrooms.

“Sir, if you have something to say to me, say it quickly.”

“Is it that obvious?”

“You didn’t call me here to listen to the little argument you had with your dad. I know you’re busy.”

“I’m not that busy compared to what I have. In fact, the people under me take care of the work and earn money on their own.”

“That would be great. I really want to become that kind of entrepreneur.”

“It’s the same now. Even if you just sit still, the Cheongdam-dong building and its tenants will automatically make you money.”

Jeong Seo-hee did not answer that.

Judging from the way he was quietly concentrating on using his chopsticks, he must have felt quite rebellious.

Makemiya sighed lightly and said.

“Do you have a business plan or something?”

“Yes, but why?”

“Let’s go and see.”

“It’s confidential, so I can’t.”

“This is too much. Are we strangers?”

“In that regard, you are worse than others. You will tell your father about my plan and cause trouble.”

“I never spill. I’m also a businessman who lives on credit. You can trust me on that.”

Jeong Seo-hee’s expression relaxed a little at the somewhat serious words.

“But it’s still difficult.”

“why?”

“You’re not going to give me advice or invest in it. If you’re just going to look at it, why would I show it to you?”

They say that, but they are asking for a price.

Makemiya felt somewhat proud, as at least the basic attitude of a businessman seemed to have been ingrained in him.

“If you like the plan, I can help you. But I just want to review it first. I’m a businessman, too, so I need to look at the investment plan in detail before investing, right?”

“wait a minute.”

Jeong Seo-hee quickly took out her tablet, tapped the screen a few times, and then handed it over to Makemiya.

When the plan, summarized clearly in an electronic document, appeared, Makemiya looked at it with somewhat surprised eyes.

“I started preparing a long time ago. It’s just that I couldn’t even start because my father interfered so much.”

“The plan is pretty solid… but you didn’t make all of this, did you?”

“I came up with the basic idea and got a lot of help from my friends.”

“Friends?”

“These are the friends who will help me with my business later. Their names and career history are at the very end.”

At those words, Makemiya turned to the last page of the plan.

Indeed, the names of more than twenty assistants, along with brief personal information and career history, were written in detail.

“A food professor, a famous chef, an economist, and even a current executive at a large corporation… You’ve really prepared well. Why didn’t you show this to Jaemin?”

“I showed it to you once after making a big decision, but you didn’t even look at it.”

“…….”

“Of course, it’s been updated a lot now. It’s still being updated in real time. The world keeps changing, right?”

“Of all the businesses you could do, why did you choose to start a food company?”

“My family has grown into a big food company. It’s the only and best weapon we have, so shouldn’t we first refine and strengthen it? Then, using that as a stepping stone, I can add the businesses I want to do.”

Makemiya was now deep in thought, his chin raised.

After a while he met my eyes and asked.

“What kind of business do you want to do?”

“It’s a business that can make a lot of money.”

“Poohahaha!”

“I’ll do anything that will make me money. I don’t care about genre or field, from milk delivery to semiconductor production. I’m starting with a food company because that’s the item I can do best in the beginning. And if I can establish myself properly, it can also be a stable cash cow.”

Jeong Seo-hee added with a haughty expression.

“Because people cannot live without eating.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“What was the last thing I said?”

“No, all of it. Everything you said is correct.”

“So what are you going to do now?”

Jeong Seo-hee looked at him with eyes filled with secret anticipation.

For some reason, Makemiya felt heavy-hearted.

‘Why do I become weak whenever I stand in front of my daughter-in-law… Is it because I am a daughter-in-law who does not want to be a daughter-in-law?’

Makemiya, who had been mumbling to himself like a song lyric, said with a stern expression.

“So that’s why we need a JM Foods factory.”

“Yes, that’s right. If we start with the factory equipment, we can drastically reduce the time.”

“But I think the old factory has already been sold.”

“……yes?”

“I heard it was sold to a startup for 4 billion won. I heard it was a startup trying to develop and sell ramen. I heard it from Jaemin.”

Jeong Seo-hee’s face darkened as if the sky was falling.

He even appeared to be about to collapse, his shoulders hunched.

“That’s ridiculous. Only 4 billion. Bad dad, you asked me for 19 billion…”

“Actually, the old factory was a burden to your company. It was a useless burden to keep, but there was no company that would buy it, so we couldn’t do anything about it. It was so bad that we even thought about demolishing the factory and selling only the land. Oh, I told you this story, it’s a secret.”

“……Okay. I’ll keep it a secret.”

Jeong Seo-hee was quite shocked.

I knew my father had a strong desire not to make him a businessman, but I didn’t know it was to that extent.

‘You’re only going to sell it to someone else for 4 billion, but you’re being so aggressive about not selling it to me for even 19 billion… … .’

“Don’t blame your dad too much. Jaemin wants you to meet a good man and live a carefree life where you can spend money without worrying about work or money.”

“Are you the same guy as Jinseok?”

“Yes, Jinseok.”

Jeong Seo-hee laughed awkwardly, running her hands through her hair.

Makemiya thought that if her son saw her like that now, he would be begging her to marry him again.

His voice became very serious.

“Seohee, by the way, let’s get to the main point now.”

“yes?”

“Go on exactly twenty dates with Jinseok. Seriously and sincerely. Then I will invest in this project.”
