Episode 52 – Mr. Miracle (3)
“Manager, who are these people?”
Lee Beom-young, now head of the overseas business department of the DM Group, took a seat from a distance and glanced at the people watching him and his companions.
The man who introduced himself as general manager Woo Sang-jin introduced several men who looked like gangsters, saying that he was a subordinate.
Group leader Lee Beom-young said with a slightly annoyed expression.
“You know Heechul, right? With the separation of affiliates this time, our hotel, shopping, and even cosmetics changed owners.”
“Of course. Didn’t it make a lot of noise for a while? It was the youngest daughter’s rebellion. There was a lot of talk.”
“CEO Lee Seo-yeon is only the second-largest shareholder, and you know that there is a separate real owner, right?”
“Ah… are you talking about Mr. Miracle, the owner of Vertical Movement, the number one shareholder? But, I heard that it was just a rumor? Some say that Vertical Movement itself is a company made with President Jin’s slush fund… .”
Lee Bum-young said while touching the whiskey glass.
“It wasn’t.”
Heechul, a subordinate, asked in surprise.
“No?”
“I went to an interview with a CEO candidate today and saw the real owner.”
“Yes? What kind of person were you?”
“You’re young, full of spirit.”
“Could it be that Chairman Jin’s illegitimate son or something?”
“No, they look completely different from Chairman Jin’s sons. I don’t feel that way either. Those people are the people that the owner’s friend gave them to.”
“So what are those people over there doing?”
“He’s my personal assistant.”
“Oh? Manager, so you’ve been chosen as the representative director?”
Lee Beom-young shook his head and said.
“If that’s the case, am I going to be drinking with you guys here? I’m celebrating with my wife.”
“No, then did you really appoint an outsider as your representative? The manager is the most qualified…”
“I don’t know what your intention is, but I’m asking you to take over as the head of the overseas business department.”
“yes?”
“Overseas division?”
“Did our company have anything like that?”
Three subordinates, including Heechul, expressed their doubts at the same time.
“It’s not a hotel, it’s a newly established department at the head office.”
“What, what… did you accept it?”
“At first, I refused, but the situation was such that I couldn’t refuse. You don’t have to do anything, just sit for three months. They say you can go out and do whatever you want, but I think that’s also serious. Anyway, it’s weird.”
For Heechul, who claimed to be manager Lee Beom-young’s henchman, it felt like the sky was falling.
I followed Lee Bum-young because I thought he was a boss I could trust and follow, but the choice to survive in a hotel where promotion was slow became a joke.
When the subordinates who followed him showed gloomy expressions, Lee Beom-young patted Heechul on the shoulder and said,
“Don’t worry. Where are you going after I abandon you guys? They say you get double your salary, so take a break while preparing for a new job for 3 months. Hey. Aside from that, they said they would take over a few in Busan and Incheon and start remodeling them.”
“Well, then…”
“I was contacted by a headhunting company several times, but I declined. The CEO position has also been taken over, and without me, you would become Nakdonggang duck eggs. I’ll talk to you and make a place for you, so please study Chinese.”
“If it’s a genuine hotel, isn’t it the place the manager introduced to Manager Lee Soo-ho before?
“I heard that he went to Beijing and rose to the position of general manager…”
“We will follow the manager unconditionally.”
Lee Beom-young said with a smile.
“Yes, what can I do without you guys? Let’s finish here for today and go in. I have to go in early and convince my wife.”
“Oh, would you like to go to Jeju Island? Didn’t your wife reject the scouting offer from Marina Bay in Singapore last year?”
“If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to go down to Jeju Island and then move to Incheon. I wonder if there’s some kind of honey spread in Seoul… Others can’t go, so I can’t wait.”
“That’s right. Your son is going to study abroad, and it would be okay for the two of you to go abroad as if you were traveling…”
“When I go abroad, I don’t have any friends and I don’t even talk to them, so what can I do?”
“Anyway, our manager is my dear wife. hahahaha.”
“What a pity. Now that I’m getting older, I have no friends except my wife, and I want to be nice to you. Anyway, I’ll wake up first, so you guys drink more and go.”
“Hey, manager…you have to call a designated driver.”
“You know there are attendants over there. They even drive you. Go, don’t wake up.”

“Where can I take you?”
“Let’s go home.”
Jinsu, sitting in the driver’s seat, started the car right away.
Lee Beom-young said with a slight frown.
“Do you know where our house is?”
Woo Sang-jin, who was sitting in the assistant seat, answered instead of Jin-soo.
“Didn’t you save it as a home in Navigation?”
“Ah… that’s right. You can go there.”
“Yes, I will see you.”
“By the way, where are they originally working?”
This time, Woo Sang-jin answered.
“…we worked in finance.”
“In terms of finance… you seem to have been affiliated with Vertical Movement, but is it okay to suddenly move to the overseas business department and take care of yourself?”
There was a slight misunderstanding, but Woo Sang-jin thought it was unnecessary to correct it.
“The advisor ordered it, so I just follow it.”
“This isn’t even an organization…”
Lee Beom-young decided that it was impossible to get any information from Woo Sang-jin, so he remained silent until he got home.
“Chief, then have a relaxing afternoon. Our staff are on standby in shifts, so if you need anything, feel free to contact us.”
“Well, I don’t think that will happen, but… I get it.”
Lee Beom-young, who was handed a car key by Woo Sang-jin, arrived at the front door of the apartment, contemplating whether to take his wife out to eat or make pasta by showing off his skills after a long time.
– Beep beep beep! Tiriling!
“Honey, I’m here.”
It was the moment when Lee Beom-young’s notification didn’t show any signs of presence, so he was about to take off his shoes and go inside.
“Huh? Are there any guests?”
Men’s shoes he had never seen before caught Lee Beom-young’s eyes.
“Honey, who’s the guest? Honey?”
Lee Beom-young went straight to the living room to find his wife.
“Honey. I’m here…”
“Eight, Mr. X.”
“Everything…why are you already…”
Lee Beom-young, who grasped the situation in the living room at once, instantly flushed red.
A young man wearing pants with his wife wrapped in a blanket.
“You… you…, what are you doing? What are you doing with my wife…”
A young man put on a loose shirt and said to Lee Beom-young’s wife.
“Sister, I’m going, so take care of it yourself. Mr. X, let’s go to the hotel.”
“From there! Where are you going!”
“Mister, do you want me to punch you? Mr. X, you’re out of luck. Come out!”
The wife’s affair partner tried to get out of the seat by pushing Lee Beom-young hard with a red flag.
“Keugh…”
The man ran out of the living room as if he were running away, and his wife approached Lee Beom-young, who was lying down.
“Everything, are you okay? It’s not what you think. Please don’t get me wrong. I just got a massage because I was a bit sore.”
Lee Bum-young was taken aback by his wife’s absurd excuse.
“What kind of crazy bastard takes off his pants while giving a massage? Shi X, I pretended to be smart, but I was the most stupid.”
“That, that’s not it…”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Shut up and get dressed. SiX.”
Lee Beom-young, who was spitting out curse words, suddenly remembered Woo Sang-jin’s words.
‘Chief, then have a relaxing afternoon. Our staff is on standby in shifts, so if you need anything, you can always contact us.’
– Yes, this is Woo Sang-jin.
“I’m Lee Beom-young.”
– Yes, please. group leader.
“A little while ago, a young man left the apartment. Black pants, a white shirt, and a tattoo on his wrist. He ran away after assaulting me. Can you catch me?”
– Would you like to take it personally? Would you like me to hand you over to the police?
“Once you catch me, I’ll go there. Thank you.”
After the phone call, Beomyoung Lee took a deep breath and spoke to his wife.
“Since I’m going out, I’ll go to my parents’ house or go to a hotel somewhere.”
“Hey, honey…”

A few days later, Lee Beom-young, who witnessed his wife’s affair, appeared at the headquarters with a haggard face.
Lee Beom-young, who headed straight to the sales support team, questioned Ji-hyeok, who greeted him as if he had been waiting.
“Did you know?”
Jihyeok asked with a puzzled face.
“What do you mean?”
“Chief Woo Sang-jin didn’t say anything?”
“Well, I heard that you took a short vacation for personal reasons, but I haven’t heard anything else.”
“Didn’t you have Manager Woo Sang-jin keep an eye on me?”
“I can’t believe it. I only ordered former manager Woo Sang-jin to assist group manager Lee Beom-yeong. I thought something bad would happen because he suddenly took a vacation, but I haven’t heard anything from manager Woo.”
In fact, Ji-hyeok was slightly surprised by Sang-jin Woo at this part.
It was because Woo Sang-jin’s mouth was much heavier than he thought.
Of course, if Ji-hyeok had asked in more detail, Woo Sang-jin would have confessed the truth, but after hearing that group leader Lee Beom-young had asked him not to inform them, Ji-hyuk also did not want to know in detail.
“So, did you know something bad was going to happen to me?”
“It’s similar. I have excellent intuition, and I saw Mr. Lee Bum-young before the CEO interview, but I was destined to have bad luck in the near future.”
“The rumors are true.”
Jihyuk smiled and said.
“Are you saying I’m a shaman?”
“I don’t know about the shaman, but the hotel concierge team said that the old advisor died in a limousine at Cheongdam Station.”
“Hmm… I don’t know if I should blame the hotel for leaking personal information or praise Mr. Lee Beom-young for his long arms.”
“Did you decide on my position because of that owner?”
“Well, it’s not just that. You’re fluent in foreign languages, and you’ve been working in hotels for a long time, so you’re sure to be friendly with overseas VIPs, and you’ve also completed an MBA in business marketing, so isn’t it a good fit to lead the overseas business department?”
“But I’ve never written a business plan before.”
Jihyuk smiled and said.
“For things like plans, select employees who are good at that kind of thing and have them write them. Just Mr. Lee Beom-young should do what Mr. Lee Beom-young can do. Whatever it is, it just needs to be helpful to the company.”
Lee Bum-young shook his head and said.
“Actually, after taking a few days off, I asked General Manager Wu what the most pressing problem for the company is right now.”
“Is it?”
“They said that the market for new products launched by cosmetics and the supply and demand of raw materials are a problem.”
“That’s right. Our main product is a special mask pack, and among the raw materials, mulberry trees, which are used to make Korean paper, are included.”
“Maybe… I think I can solve that problem.”
“Is that so?”
Lee Bum-young was amazed at Ji-hyeok’s reply without any change in expression.
“You’re not surprised at all.”
“Because Lee Beom-young’s potential is much greater than to be surprised by just this much.”
“Huuu, I feel like sharing Zen dialogues. I will go to Beijing next week. Please appoint only Manager Wu’s team members to one employee who is fluent in Chinese. If I can afford it, I will try to break through the new product market.”
Only then did Jihyeok show a satisfied smile.
“Look at that. Didn’t Lee Beom-young say it was something he could do?”
Lee Bum-young added a little bravado to his heart to get out of Korea, where his wife is, and after seeing Ji-hyeok’s reaction, an unknown confidence seemed to spring up.
‘Whoa, I feel like I’m possessed by a ghost…’

[DM Hotel Sky Lounge]
“hahahaha, nice to meet you. I’m Seong Ki-hun. As I’ve heard, you’re a great beauty.”
“Yes, what. Nice to meet you.”
Seo-yeon reluctantly came to the seat because of her mother Hyo-suk’s torch, but the seat was very uncomfortable.
I had put it off here and there on the excuse of not having time, but I happened to come to the hotel because I had errands, and when I received a call from Hyo-suk, my nose was plugged.
“I don’t know what my mother said, but I have no intention of getting married right now.”
“Um… then, that’s good.”
“yes?”
“You’re saying there’s no other guy, so you’re saying I have a chance, right?”
“It’s nice to have a positive mindset, but I really have no intention of getting married. I’m just saying this in case you’re wasting your time.”
Seong Ki-hoon said with a smirk.
“Seoyeon and I were born into conglomerate families, don’t you know? Where do we get married out of love?”
“So, marriage is also a business?”
“That’s right. My father said that if I marry Seo-yeon, he will give me chemistry and construction. Even though it’s not a flagship affiliate, it’s an affiliate that ranks in the top 5 in the industry, so as the third person, I can’t help but covet it.”
Seoyeon smiled and said.
“I understand Seong Ki-hoon’s circumstances. It’s a pity, but I’ve already inherited enough. I’m not very interested. Then, have some tea and go.”
“Wait a minute. Listen to my terms and go.”
“I’m not interested. Then I’ll stop…”
“I’ll give you chemistry. I’ll give you all the stakes in the chemical affiliates that I’m entitled to as long as it’s stated in the prenuptial agreement and we get married.”
