Episode 357: Invitation

Buksan Tower Chairman’s Office.

It’s been a long time since I had a match with Chairman Seunghwan Lee.

Perhaps because there was so much shogi played, at some point the game was changed to baduk.

widely!

Chairman Lee, who puts the number of days at the end of a long game.

“If you look closely, isn’t this baduk guy a microcosm of life? If you look at baduk and a person’s life, it is ultimately a series of choices. There are important choices that determine life, but there are also many trivial choices that are not nutritious. Among the many possibilities, what can you choose? Depending on the choice you make, you can have a completely different life. I too have made countless choices at this age, and when I look back on the past, I feel regretful at every turn, just like in baduk or life.”

I don’t know what else you want to say, so you start off with such a lengthy introduction.

However, since he was now going to become a grown-up from a decent family, I had no choice but to straighten my back and correct my posture.

“You are about to make a big decision called marriage. It will be the biggest choice of your life. You won’t regret it, right?”

I looked at Chairman Seung-Hwan Lee, or rather, my grandfather, with the most confident look I could muster.

“Of course. I will make sure Jiwon never regrets choosing me. Chairman, haven’t you been watching me for a long time? I think you know a bit about me by now. I am very confident.”

In response to the answer filled with earnest sincerity, Chairman Lee let out a characteristic laugh.

“Cluck, cluck, he still has one answer.”

“Man Song Dae-un, I am not a man who just talks loudly. I will show you with my actions.”

“I believe it. The guy I’ve seen, Song Dae-woon, is not the kind of guy who would make a promise he couldn’t keep.”

widely!

Chairman Lee’s one move changed the game of checkerboard.

I can’t believe you prepared a move like this to catch people off guard…

It was somewhat unfair, but facial expression management was essential.

“Both in Baduk and in life, the same joys and sorrows unfold. Even if the game is calm, a storm may suddenly arise, or you may be overly greedy and end up dead. Sometimes, you can win a fortune with just one minor mistake on the part of your opponent. A handshake is the way to go. Do you have confidence that you will not be shaken even if such a storm hits you, or it could be a fortune that will never come again, or a wrong choice could turn the tide?”

“Yes, I never waver. I’m not conceited just because I made a little money. As I said before, family is more important to me than money. And a new family has come to me. Since ancient times, a man with a strong sense of responsibility has the more things to protect. “It’s how to become stronger.”

Only then did Chairman Lee, with a satisfied smile on his face, nod.

“I like it very much. Why are you stubborn when I tell you to just come in as your son-in-law?”

“Quite… No matter what, you should enjoy your newlywed life to the fullest. Instead, I will come and say hello often.”

“Hmph, anyway, if you didn’t come, I was going to go on my own. Now, I can’t say anything if I go anywhere, right?”

It sent shivers down my spine as I imagined Chairman Lee coming to my house every time to ask for a game of baduk or chess, but I managed to raise the corners of my mouth and confidently nodded.

“I am absolutely welcome.”

At the same time, I decided to change my home password frequently.

Chairman Lee seemed to know how I felt and clicked his tongue.

“It’s okay to say things you don’t mean, you idiot! Do you think I’m that clueless?”

“Quite… It’s true…”

As expected, Chairman Lee cannot be fooled. He sees everything as if he were looking inside me.

In the past, there were times when that felt a bit burdensome, but now that we’re going to become real family, there’s no such thing.

“I heard about it from Jiwon.”

“What… Ah!”

It seemed like he was talking about the existence of his biological parents.

“It looks better than I thought.”

“Yes. It’s okay. I was worried that my parents who gave birth to me might be bad people, but I was wrong. They were better than anyone else and lived their lives with sincerity. More than anything, I thought I was abandoned, but it was the exact opposite. In fact, who am I? “He was born more loved and blessed.”

“Cluck. It’s good. All the shadows on your face have been completely removed, and you have a face that is quite pleasing to look at.”

“What was it like before?”

“You know better, don’t you? Feeling inferior for not knowing your roots. I don’t know if you thought you hid it well, but Arthur, you bastard. I could see it all.”

“I can’t say anything in front of the chairman.”

“But how long are you going to be the chairman? You’re going to become a member of the family now.”

“I know, but grandpa, I still can’t speak well… I’ll try my best.”

“What kind of grandfather are you? Just call me grandfather.”

“yes?”

“You and I have known each other for a few years now, isn’t it time we started calling each other that?”

“…….That’s right.”

Just changing one title is so difficult that it makes you break out in a cold sweat.

“Please take care of me in the future… Grandfather.”

“Chick. Okaya, please. I’m going to go. For reference, this Go seems to have won.

widely!

How dare you exploit a loophole by taking advantage of your carelessness.

Baduk is a game where psychological warfare is important, and it seemed like a slightly shaken mentality was the factor in the loss.

“Your skills have improved a lot over the years. Now it’s hard to even win a game.”

“Cluck, click, of course. Do you know how much time and money I poured into trying to beat you?”

My grandfather’s competitive spirit was so strong that even I was tongue-tied.

In a way, I thought that the competitive spirit and passion that transcended age were the driving force that led to Buksan’s golden age.

Chairman Lee must have been so satisfied with his first victory in a long time that he even personally brought us down to the car.

“Anyway, are all the stories on the news true?”

“Are you talking about the rumor that I am behind the Japanese government’s apology this time?”

“It’s not a rumor, is it?”

“Well… it was all exposed anyway… That’s right. It’s not like I don’t have a stake.”

“The accidents you cause are always astounding, but this time I am truly speechless. Suyomi-san, Shunsaku, did you threaten that old Imoogi to get an apology? You, as an investor, did something that no businessman in any country could have done. ”

“It was possible because I am not an entrepreneur. Most companies would have no choice but to pay attention to the enormous influence that Soumi has, but I am an investor. Moreover, I am a very special venture capital company that makes investments only through its own account without inflow of external funds. They called me It also means that there is almost no one to pressure, so it must have been more difficult for threats to work only when interests are intertwined.”

“No matter what, it’s the world’s Suyomi-san, and Shunsaku, who wields omnipotent power. The fact that she got what she wanted against those guys is something close to a miracle. Even if other people don’t know, I know it well. How enormous is Suyomi-san’s power? And what is Shunsaku’s position in Japan? It’s embarrassing that not only Buksan but also the head of any company in the country can’t help but notice, but that’s the reality. “You did it alone.”

I was a little embarrassed because Chairman Lee rarely gives such explicit praise, but I didn’t feel too bad because I felt like I was recognized by the elders in my family.

“Let’s see. Then how much exactly did you earn this time? How much did you earn that made Shunsaku of the world tremble and follow you all the way to Korea?”

“I’m telling you in advance just in case, I had no idea that there would be an earthquake or volcanic eruption in Japan. I just got lucky, and I have no intention of ever doing derivatives or something like that again. I made about 30 trillion won.”

Since this was always a question that followed when option investment profits were revealed, it has now reached a point where I am the first player to do so.

It seemed like he had expected it to some extent, but Chairman Lee couldn’t hide his surprise as his white beard trembled as the figure far exceeded that figure.

“Four, thirty trillion? Huh… I can’t believe you made money from a single investment that is equivalent to a year’s sales of Buksan’s top affiliates… When I look at you, I wonder if it’s right for you to make money like a bastard while playing corporate games… That’s me. “Now that I’m retired from management, don’t go anywhere and talk about it. There’s nothing in this world that destroys people’s morale more than money.”

“Of course. Chairman… No, I’m speaking frankly like this because it’s in front of my grandfather, right?”

“How come it sounds like I’m the only one who brags about money?”

“Just think of the granddaughter-in-law as appealing to the grandfather to win points.”

“I was more impressed by the fact that you raised the national prestige through it than by the fact that you earned 30 trillion won. Being able to do something like that without just chasing money is something that an ordinary person cannot do. So these days, people think of your name “I heard you’re more popular than most celebrities, aren’t you?”

“I’m going to die of exhaustion because of that. Once I get married, I’ll have to go abroad for a while.”

“Ah! When did you say the wedding was? It’s hard to remember these days.”

“It’s 7 months later. There’s still some time left.”

“Are the marriage preparations going well? We are different from other families, so we have to take care of our own marriage.”

“Jiwon and I are working hard to find out. I don’t think there will be many guests, so it’s difficult to find a venue for the ceremony. There are a lot of guests from Buksan, right?”

“Shouldn’t we assume that all heads of companies in their 20s come to Korea?”

“As expected, Chairman Buksan Wang! His influence is still strong.”

“Tsk, tsk, are you just being clueless or are you just trying to dry off the old man?”

“yes?”

“Why do those gentlemen come to see me? They all come to see you.”

“Me…?”

“What’s the point in looking good to me? My sons are in charge of running the business now. Rather than that, everyone will come together to look good to you. Even so, you’ve already been begging so hard to ask for a wedding invitation when it comes out. If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s an invitation and not a wedding invitation. okay.”

“Do you really need to go that far…”

“I’m not able to see it in the yard that leans down. I’m going to take care of me. You’ll care about you. “I need to let you know in advance because he has a full year’s schedule.”

“Ah! I guess so. I need to get back to you before it’s too late.”

Chairman Lee’s words woke me up.

Since many of the foreign guests I will invite are of unusual status, I had to let them know in advance to avoid any embarrassment.

After leaving Buksan Tower, I headed straight home.

After throwing my coat on the dining table chair, I sat down on the sofa and contacted Crown Prince Binsar.

It was a direct line that only people with personal connections could contact.

“Now that I think about it, it’s been a while since I’ve contacted you.”

I’ve been so busy preparing for the wedding and all that that I’ve barely been able to access games lately.

After a few beeps, the call was connected.

“Hello? Crown Prince? Assalamalaikum?”

But for some reason, only silence flows through the receiver.

“What is it? Did I make a mistake?”

The moment I tilted my head and was about to hang up the phone.

[It’s been a while.]

“Ah! Crown Prince. How have you been? I thought the number had changed again.”

[If the number had changed, I would have let you know first. You wouldn’t have done that.]

At that moment, I knew it right away.

This guy… That it was tightly sprained.

And I knew very well how to relieve this pouting crown prince at once.

“I’m sorry I haven’t been in touch with you lately. I’ve been busy rushing with wedding preparations.”

[marriage?]

“Yes. As I told you earlier, we are getting married. And for your information, this is the first time the marriage has been confirmed and we are informing the crown prince.”

After that, a soft voice is heard about 10 seconds later.

[Really…?]
