Franchise God Episode 039

Chapter 8: Are you opening a ramen shop? (2)

Ha Su-yeong originally planned to go around Mt. Seorak if Makemiya asked where he could get the mushrooms.

Anyway, Makemiya won’t even bother to look at the register.

But it turned out to be a blessing that I didn’t say that.

‘As they say, one lie just leads to another lie.’

Ha Soo-young greeted Jeong Seo-hee with a smile, sweeping away her worries.

“How are you, Mr. Sanju?”

“Of course. People think that living in the city is the best, and these days, they don’t even think about moving to the countryside.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“But the buyer is also a bit worried. He said that the people there are no joke and he doesn’t know if they are holding up well, but he also said that he is hesitant to contact them.”

“I’m doing very well. Please tell him not to worry.”

Naturally, the composition was such that Jeong Seo-hee sat to Ha Su-young’s left.

Makemiya showed interest in the relationship between the two.

“I heard that your mother failed at farming, but I heard that CEO Ha Su-yeong bought that mountain?”

“Yes, I went out as a proxy to pay the balance.”

“Is this the first time you’ve seen each other since then?”

“Yes, that’s why I was surprised. I didn’t know you were someone I knew.”

Ha Soo-young didn’t miss the subtle concern in Makemiya’s accent.

‘Is this the first time we’ve met? What the heck, old man? Are you wary of me?’

I feel like I’m being watched closely.

However, it does not seem to be a dirty mind, and it seems to be the mind of a father who is worried about his daughter.

What good does it do to look bad when it could really help your business?

Ha Soo-young answered coolly.

“Why would the seller and buyer have to contact each other separately? And this person was an agent.”

“Aha, I see.”

Makemiya decided there was no need to dig any further.

I was worried that he might grow up to be a threat to my son’s existence, but it seems my worries were unfounded.

‘I’m also a drunkard, really… … .’

The conversation continued in the atmosphere that had been restored.

Makemiya introduced the two as he boasted.

“You know my favorite song? It’s distributed by these guys.”

“Oh my, really?”

“Yes, we supply to all branches of the Seohae Hotel. This is because we handle food ingredients.”

Jeon Seong-ryeol explained to Jeong Seo-hee with a smile.

“Our main products are pine mushrooms and golden umbrella mushrooms.”

“You also handle yellow truffles?”

“Yes, both are directly harvested or grown by our CEO and distributed here.”

“Oh, so you’re growing yellow oyster mushrooms on Mt. Seorak now?”

“Yes, that’s right. That’s what I originally bought it for.”

“The cultivation environment for yellow truffles is quite difficult, and I don’t know if they will grow well on Mt. Seorak. As far as I know, Mt. Seorak is not a very good environment.”

Ha Soo-young flinched slightly at those words.

‘No, how did this woman do that?’

In fact, Ha Su-yeong doesn’t know whether Seoraksan is suitable for growing golden silk umbrella mushrooms. There was no need to investigate that far.

If someone asks you how you grow mushrooms, you can just ignore them.

“You’re growing better than I expected.”

“Really? That’s surprising. I know a little about crops, too.”

“My Seohee family is in the food manufacturing business. I’m very interested in that kind of thing. Oh, and my Seohee is also preparing to start a food company this time.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Only then did Jeon Seong-ryeol realize why Makemiya had created this incongruous combination.

They are engaged in the agricultural product distribution business, and Jeong Seo-hee is said to be starting a food company soon.

So, since they happened to meet, they probably decided it would be a good idea to introduce each other.

“Aren’t you people who do similar businesses that have synergy with each other? I think it would be good to know about you, hehe.”

‘That old man is quite the trickster, isn’t he?’

Ha Soo-young just grinned inwardly.

They say it’s a mutual synergy, but isn’t it a relationship that is more beneficial to Jeong Seo-hee?

If you are trying to start a new food manufacturing business at a young age, it would be helpful to have a variety of connections, so this position was created.

‘Well, it’s not that bad for us either.’

“I see. I’ll be counting on you in the future. If you need any groceries or anything like that, please feel free to place an order.”

“Yes, I will. Oh no, come on, I’m out of my mind.”

Jeong Seo-hee smiled softly, took out a business card from her wallet, and handed it to the two people.

It was a completely different attitude from when he said he would contact me later when I was at Seoraksan.

Ha Soo-young received the business card, carefully checked the contents, and put it in her wallet. Jeon Seong-ryeol also took care of it carefully.

The conversation was mainly led by Makemiya.

“So, the thing about Songi… at first, it really surprised me… it’s the best Songi I’ve ever had… my Japanese business friends tried it too and they all raved about it…”

Makemiya mainly praised the mushroom dishes, while Jeong Seo-hee shook her head helplessly.

Then, Ha Soo-young’s eyes met mine, and she smiled and nodded toward the hallway. Then, she spoke with the shape of her lips.

‘Do you want to go out first?’

Ha Soo-young, who noticed her intentions, carefully observed Makemiya’s expression.

Fortunately, he was so absorbed in small talk with Jeon Seong-ryeol that he didn’t notice the sign that Jeong Seo-hee had sent him.

“I’ll take a phone call in a moment.”

“Oh, let’s do that.”

Makemiya seemed busy talking to Jeon Seong-ryeol, either sending or not.

As I was leaving the hallway and looking out the window into the spacious lobby, after a while I heard a sound coming from behind me.

“My uncle is quite the talker, isn’t he? He usually does that when he’s in a good mood. He doesn’t even realize how much time has passed.”

“No. I was jealous of how young you seemed to be.”

Jeong Seo-hee stood next to him with a smile.

Maybe because I was wearing high heels, our eye levels were roughly the same.

In fact, even without heels, she was tall and slender, so most men would be reluctant to stand next to her now.

‘Just looking at his visuals, he looks like he could be an actor. But he’s the president of a food company… ‘

That could be true since you run a food company at home.

But what does it mean to start a new business instead of inheriting it?

Ha Soo-young suddenly thought for a moment about which one had better visuals, Jang Hyo-joo or Jeong Seo-hee.

Then, thinking that he was also funny, he smiled bitterly and left.

“I heard before that you were going to open a ramen shop?”

“Oh, I do that too. No, I guess it would be more correct to say that I’m preparing to do it soon.”

Ha Soo-young looked at him with a sociable smile and asked a question.

“I heard that CEO Jeong Seo-hee also runs a ramen shop at home. But earlier, she said she runs a food manufacturing business.

go.”

“That’s right. Because I make and sell ramen.”

“When you say ramen shop, I thought it was a franchise snack shop or something. I underestimated it so much.”

“Since ramen is our main product, it’s not wrong to say that we sell ramen.”

“That’s true.”

Ha Soo-young wondered why she had called her out separately.

It’s not like I suddenly developed feelings for him.

Or were you bored there earlier?

So, a little escape to enjoy?

“I wanted to take over the family business, but my father adamantly refused because I was a woman. So I decided to secretly get help from my uncle. As you know, he has some money.”

“It’s not that much. By normal standards.”

“Then, what is it based on Mr. Ha’s standards?”

“Isn’t it a bit much to be able to have a private runway in the backyard of a mansion without feeling burdened?”

Ha Soo-young spoke seriously, and Jeong Seo-hee looked at him with wide eyes before bursting into laughter.

I realized that he had just said that as a joke.

“For that, you’d have to be at least a Saudi prince.”

“Yes, you need to have that much to be able to say you have some money.”

“Kick… Anyway, since you’re a grocery store owner and the man himself personally introduced you to me, we’ll probably be tangled up with each other a lot in the future. We’ll keep in touch and discuss business together often, you know?”

“Yes, let’s do that.”

Even without having to talk for long, I could tell why she wanted to see me alone.

I wanted to build a soft and friendly relationship in a place where Makemiya was not present.

‘He’s a natural born businessman, a businessman.’

From time to time, she hints at the difficult situations she finds herself in, and actively uses her charm as a woman.

If you do it after calculating, it is meticulous, and if you do it unconsciously, it is innate.

‘They both look the same.’

Since it was a relationship that was not bad, Ha Soo-young also agreed.

“Take your time. I’m going to go now.”

“Yes? Are you just getting up?”

“I was worried that you might think it was strange. I just told you I had another appointment so I left.”

“Yes, please go in comfortably.”

Jeong Seo-hee greeted him with a smile, then turned around and headed toward the elevator.

Ha Soo-young returned to the table. Makemiya was already quite drunk.

The atmosphere was so good that he didn’t even realize he had returned.

“It’s a little late. The call has been going on for a long time.”

“Ah, Mr. Ha. Come in. Let’s have a drink.”

‘He’s a wealthy businessman who likes to make friends. If you become close with him, you’ll be comfortable for a long time.’

Ha Soo-young politely accepted the glass.

The contract with Jang Hyo-joo went well, and my friendship with Makemiya also grew.

It was a good day in many ways.

‘Jeong Seo-hee… I don’t know much about that woman.’

She becomes the number one building owner in Cheongdam-dong, but will she be of help in the future?

Ha Soo-young raised her glass to her lips with that thought in mind.

* * *

-Son, you’ve been quiet lately.

“I’m sorry, Father. There are so many things I’ve been pushing myself to do. But I still try to remember your teachings and take the elixir from time to time.”

-… … That’s right. Yes, that’s right.

Somehow, today, the tone of the Milky Way tree seems weak.

-… … After such a long period of suffering, the Cosmic Union of Gods was created, but the gods, blinded by their desire for power, began to ignore the majesty of the main god and began to fight among themselves for territory, and the main god became angry at this… … .

Ha Soo-young only thought about the Cheongdam-dong building today.

‘That property that was briefly listed last time was good, but it didn’t sell, did it? Did the building owner just take it back?’

Ha Su-yeong couldn’t fully concentrate on Eunhaha’s lecture.

Feeling it, the Milky Way tree also stopped class at one point.

-Son, your mind is full of distracting thoughts right now.

“No, Father. I was so focused on listening to every word that it just seemed that way.”

-Then summarize what I just said.

As if she had been waiting, Ha Soo-young recited what she had heard one after another, and Eunhaha Shinmok shook its branches. As if she was angry.

Ha Su-yeong said with high spirits.

“Even though I don’t seem to have any interest in learning, I pay close attention to what my father says. I am ready to absorb anything he teaches me.

-I’m upset, but I passed.

“You passed, so why are you upset? I don’t understand, you little punk.”

-Anyway! Today I will give you a new power.

It was worth doing well on the surprise note test!

Ha Soo-young asked excitedly.

“What is it?”

-Ahem, that’s right.

“God fish……?”

-What! It means the language of God, you idiot!
