Chapter 3: Is this the network you need? (1)

In the VIP room of a restaurant with a great view, a middle-aged man was sitting alone and looking out the window.

Kim Hyo-san, who had neatly adjusted his clothes, approached him politely and greeted him.

“Welcome, Representative Makemiya.”

“Oh, Chef Kim, nice to meet you.”

“We have prepared the freshest ingredients today as well. You can look forward to it, sir.”

“Hehe, doesn’t it make me so excited as soon as you come here? I couldn’t focus on anything all day because I was thinking about eating Chef Kim’s cooking.”

“It is an honor.”

“By the way, I have something to ask you.”

“Please feel free to ask questions.”

“I heard from our Managing Director Park that he had a pine mushroom dish at the hotel last week, even though it wasn’t the season. You know I like pine mushrooms.”

“Of course. That’s why I’ve been waiting for you to come by, setting aside ingredients every day. Today, I just happened to receive a few mushrooms in the best condition.”

“Thank you. As expected, Chef Kim, there’s no one else like you.”

Representative Makemiya lightly patted Kim Hyo-san’s elbow.

“But who is this guy?”

It was only then that Makemiya noticed the 30-year-old male chef behind Kim Hyo-san and showed curiosity.

“He’s a friend who recently transferred to our hotel. He doesn’t have much experience working at our hotel yet, but he’s a friend who will soon be able to become an assistant chef. I’ve come to pick him up and introduce him to you.”

“Oh, so this guy will be taking over from now on when Chef Kim is away?”

“Yes, that’s right. Please take care of it.”

When Kim Hyo-san nodded, Jeong Seok-woo took a step forward and bowed politely.

“My name is Jeong Seok-woo. Please take good care of me, sir.”

“I’ll be counting on you in the future too. Can I try this friend’s cooking today?”

“Then I’ll include two of this guy’s dishes in today’s course.”

“Do that.”

Kim Hyo-san greeted them politely once again and left the VIP room with Jeong Seok-woo.

Jeong Seok-woo asked as he headed to the kitchen.

“Brother, who is that person?”

I’m not asking because I don’t know what VIP is.

“Your name is Japanese, but why do you speak Korean so well? Your pronunciation is like a native speaker.”

“Yes, I’m Japanese. Just in nationality.”

“Nationality only?”

“I’m a second generation Korean living in Japan. My grandparents and parents are both Korean. They had great success in the real estate business in Japan and also had a large distribution business in Korea.”

“aha.”

“Your wife is also Korean. I know that your business in Japan is stable and there is nothing more to do, so you are only focusing on the Korean business.

“You stay in Korea for almost half of the year. You have a house in Hannam-dong.”

“You must be very rich.”

“You have some real estate in Tokyo, and the rental income alone is probably 15 billion yen a year. That’s 150 billion won in our money.”

Jeong Seok-woo couldn’t close his gaping mouth.

It was a number that would make you dizzy just by hearing it.

“Annual rental income of 150 billion won? Then how much is the real estate worth?”

“It’s probably around 4 or 5 trillion won. I understand that the amount of money currently invested in our country is well over 500 billion won.”

“……He really is an amazing person. Isn’t he a tycoon at that level?”

“He’s a real estate tycoon who knows everything. We must make sure he never makes a mistake in the future. He’s a generous and tolerant person, so he’ll overlook some mistakes, but you must never make a mistake.”

“all right.”

Makemiya found a bathroom.

His face was distorted in an ugly way as he unbuckled his belt to urinate.

After taking a deep breath, he started to urinate.

As the water gushed out, a tingling pain began to flow through my prostate and urethra.

“Ugh…!”

He gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

Even after I finished my business, the stinging pain still lingered.

When I looked in the mirror to wash my hands, my forehead and cheeks were red and cold sweat was running down them.

After lightly washing his face, he dried himself and returned to the VIP room.

After a while, Kim Hyo-san came into the room with Jeong Seok-woo, pulling the cart himself.

“The appetizer is a soup made with thinly sliced ​​mushrooms and mashed potatoes.”

“My mouth is watering already.”

Kim Hyo-san, who was politely putting down the plate and removing the lid, flinched. He saw Makemiya’s face flushed red.

“Is there anything that feels uncomfortable?”

“Oh, I just came back from the bathroom.”

“Ah… I see. Sorry.”

Jeong Seok-woo was curious about the content of their conversation, but kept his mouth shut.

Makemiya was happy as he picked up the spoon.

“It looks really delicious. I’ll enjoy it.”

“Yes, please enjoy.”

The two chefs politely greeted each other and left the room again.

As soon as the door closed, Jeong Seok-woo lowered his voice as if he had been waiting for it and asked.

“Hey, what did you just say? I just went to the bathroom, so why are you apologizing?”

“The representative has a chronic illness. He has severe urethral pain.”

“Oh, really?”

“Every time you urinate, it feels like your urethra is going to tear. What is that? In the Amazon or something, there’s a parasite that smells like ammonia and enters the human urethra. Every time you urinate, it feels like the parasite is escaping through your urethra.”

“Wow, that must hurt so much. But how can someone with so much money not get something like that fixed?”

“I went to a large hospital in the US and got tested, but they said they couldn’t find the cause. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it hurts every time I urinate, so even the CEO is going crazy. He said he feels like his life is on the line every time he goes to the bathroom.”

“Wait a minute. Then maybe with a girl…”

“He said that it would really cost him his life. But he said that he was the type of person who would value his life. This is something that all of our kitchen kids know anyway.”

“You’re a VIP, so how can you share such sensitive information? If the people above found out, there would be chaos.”

“It’s okay. The CEO grabs the chefs and starts complaining. One time, he called all of our kitchen staff over for a company dinner and he started complaining while drunk. He’s going to drink some alcohol soon and grab you to complain, so go to the bathroom first.”

“Why the bathroom?”

“If you drink alcohol, you’ll be complaining for over two hours. Are you going to ask for permission to go to the bathroom in front of someone who’s drunk? In front of someone who risks their life every time they go to the bathroom?”

Jeong Seok-woo understood with a blank expression.

“That’s right. From now on, I’ll have to go to the bathroom before I see him.”

“If you start drinking, you can lock him up in advance. I heard that the pain is greatly reduced when you drink alcohol, so he’ll be fine.”

“Then you must drink often.”

“No, your liver is weak, so you can’t drink that much. If you drink half a bottle of wine, your head will be spinning the next day because of a hangover. It disperses the pain from the lower part to the upper part.”

“……You were too bad.”

As always, the food was overall satisfactory.

In particular, the main dish, grilled Songi Mountain Shrimp, was superb.

Makemiya, who had cleaned the main dish plate, looked very satisfied and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

“It looks like you liked the food.”

“This is really the best. I think this is the first time I’ve had mushrooms like this. They’re probably not in season right now, so where on earth did you get them?”

“It’s probably frozen mushrooms. I’m also curious about how they can be thawed to produce a texture and taste that surpasses wild mushrooms.”

“Well, it’s not Songi Railroad right now, so it’s probably frozen.”

All courses except dessert contained matsutake mushrooms.

Thanks to this, Makemiya’s satisfaction was higher than ever, and Kim Hyo-san also felt a sense of satisfaction inside.

“I ate well.”

“Thank you. Please come again.”

After finishing his calculations and returning to his Seoul mansion, Makemiya felt a pang of urgency as soon as he entered the front door and grimaced.

‘I didn’t even drink much water, and already?’

I was annoyed, but I couldn’t help it.

Makemiya, who had found the bathroom, unbuckled his belt while biting his lips tightly.

and…

“What? It doesn’t hurt? Honey! Honey!”
