next day.
Hoyoung Jeong heard a sound like a thunderbolt from his father.
“Are you suddenly telling me to go study abroad? Why me? “You said that once I get into college, you’ll let me do whatever I want!”
“So what you want to do is to personally move the prosecution investigators?”
“Why is that? “What’s wrong with calling someone under your father’s command?”
“Still, you son of a bitch!”
match!
Jeong Ho-young’s cheeks turned red.
Jeong Ho-young was even more shocked because his father had never hit him with his hand.
He couldn’t make any sound and just shed tears like chicken shit, and his mother hugged him like that.
“Why are you hitting that kid?”
“Do you know what this guy did? I’m glad I stopped it before it escalated further. I almost had my head blown off. “I was going to retire as a chief prosecutor and open a law practice!”
“Are you Hoyoung? “There’s no way such a good kid would do something like that.”
“Without further ado, send it to America today. “I’ve reserved the plane ticket, so go to the airport right now!”
Shin Jung-soo said as he threw the plane ticket.
Jung Ho-young still couldn’t get used to his overly coercive appearance.
“dad. Was I really that wrong? “Is it wrong to punish people who make money illegally?”
“You should have seen the other person and touched them.”
“Dad is the chief prosecutor. “Cheon Min-jeong, tell me she has something to watch.”
“The person who fired the Deputy Prosecutor’s Office this time is supporting Cheon Min-jeong. So don’t even come near her again. Even if you happen to meet me, don’t pretend to know me and just pass by!”
Hoyoung Jeong felt so unfair.
I have to leave Korea because of a bitch who has nothing.
Even though he was leaving Korea, for the first time in his life, his father was looking at him with disdain.
“I’m going to America. But please give me one more day. “I have to pack my bags to take to America, and I want to say goodbye to my friends.”
“that’s right. “Don’t you think Hoyoung needs time to mentally prepare?”
“i get it. Then, your flight will be postponed until tomorrow, so get ready. And if you need anything, buy it.”
Shin Jung-soo put a bundle of bills into Jeong Ho-young’s hands.
Even though he didn’t say it, he also didn’t want to do this to his son.
However, in order to climb to a higher place, he needed a golden rope, and in order to catch the golden rope, he had to send his son to study abroad in the United States.

A bar in Hongdae.
Hoyoung Jeong rented out an entire bar and drank alcohol with over 20 friends.
“Friends! I’m going to America tomorrow, but if I go now, I don’t know when I’ll return. “Why do I have to go through this because of one crazy bitch!”
“Who is that bitch? Just say your name. “We’ll screw you over.”
Hoyoung Jeong often met with rough friends.
Hoyoung Jeong was a person who spent a lot of money in high school, and flies, attracted by the smell of money, hovered around him.
“Can you really screw me? “If you just screw that bitch, I’ll give you all this money!”
“Hey, how much is this? “It would be 2 million won more, right?”
“hey! What’s important about money? “My friend said he was having a hard time because of a crazy bitch, so of course we should help him.”
Unlike Jeong Ho-young, they were friends with nothing to lose.
There were few people who went to college properly, and most of them were living like idiots.
“The name is Cheon Min-jeong. Her address is… … .”
The moment you try to say your address.
Sigh! The door to the bar opened.
“Mister, we rented this place. “There will be no business today, so please go somewhere else.”
“Get out quickly!”
The rough guys screamed.
Although he looked quite threatening for someone in his early 20s.
The man who opened the door seemed cute.
To Captain Kang, who had been at the military base since the military regime, it only seemed like a child’s joke.
“I miss Samcheong Education University when I see you guys.”
“Is that the case too, Captain? “I really don’t know why kids these days are so cheap.”
Behind Captain Kang, employees came into the bar one after another.
They were all former special forces and employees of Captain Kang’s security company who were undergoing daily combat-like training.
“Just don’t touch the one in the center and kill them all.”
“I’m going to warm up after a long time.”
“Don’t be too harsh with young children.”
Hoyoung Jeong had 20 friends, while Captain Kang had only 10 employees.
In terms of size, there wasn’t much of a difference, so Captain Kang seemed to be at a disadvantage.
However, there was an insurmountable difference between those who had experienced combat and those who had not.
puck! Wow!
Employees who go in thoroughly aiming for a critical location.
In an instant, more than 10 of Jung Ho-young’s friends were rolling around on the floor.
The remaining members were on their knees, praying, wondering where their energetic appearance from just moments before had gone.
“Is it over already? “I thought they were just cheap, but they turned out to be devoid of perseverance.”
“That’s right. “I thought I would relax, but I ended up losing my appetite.”
Captain Kang approached Jeong Ho-young, stepping on the fallen man.
When Jeong Ho-young saw Captain Kang’s strong eyes, he began to tremble like a mouse in front of a tiger.
“Why are you like this? My father is a prosecutor! “He’s also a chief prosecutor.”
“I know. But I don’t understand why a prosecutor doesn’t keep his promise. Apparently, he promised to send it to America by today.”
“Who are you, Mara, send me to America?”
Hoyoung Jeong was more powerful than I thought.
I was able to quickly escape from Captain Kang’s intimidation because I had never experienced it before.
However, Jeong Ho-young had no choice but to turn his head at Captain Kang’s next actions.
Ttuduk! Bye!
Captain Kang stepped on the shoulder of Jeong Ho-young’s fallen friend and crushed it.
“Aaaah!”
“This is the last time I will show the spirit prosecutor’s side. Live a good life from now on. “That’s the way for you and your father to survive.”
“… … .”
It was Jeong Ho-young who was so frightened that he could not answer.
But that was Jeong Ho-young’s situation. Bye!
It was Captain Kang who mercilessly broke Jeong Ho-young’s friend’s ankle.
“Aaaah!”
“Oh, I understand! I’m going to America right now. Please stop.”
“This time it was your friend, but keep in mind that you will be next.”
“All right!”
This time it was Jeong Ho-young who answered quickly.
Thanks to him, his friend was able to save another ankle.
“Please clean up after yourself and come back.”
“yes. All right!”
Captain Kang’s employees cleaned up Jung Ho-young’s friends as if they were clearing out trash.
Jeong Ho-young felt extreme fear at that sight, and ran towards the house, leaving his friends alone.
“If you scare them this much, I think they’ll stay quiet for a while.”
“People like that are good at studying, but their memory is not good. “It could happen again, so attach someone to it.”
An employee followed behind Jeong Ho-young.
From now on, Jeong Ho-young was destined to live under surveillance for the rest of his life.
***
A few days later.
Cheon Min-jeong came to the company.
He came without an appointment and said he wanted to meet me at the information desk.
Fortunately, the planning office staff recognized her, so she was able to enter the vice president’s office.
“Did you do this?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Jung Ho-young sent me this letter.”
Cheon Min-jeong showed me a letter.
Inside was an apology covered in blood and tears.
“It’s a type of employee benefit. Any other employee other than Minjeong Cheon can receive the same welfare benefits.”
“But I haven’t joined the company yet.”
“It is not too late to make a decision to join a company after hearing all the welfare benefits. “I tried to tell you last time, but you left without listening.”
“What other benefits are there?”
“Taewoo Group fully supports the family’s school expenses. Your younger brother is a high school student, right? “High school tuition as well as university tuition are fully supported.”
Cheon Min-jeong opened his eyes wide.
One of the reasons she had to work hard to earn money was to pay her younger brother’s tuition.
She wanted to resolve her resentment of not being able to go to college even with excellent grades through her younger brother.
“And there is also the benefit of support for family hospital expenses. “You can receive all tests with priority at the general hospital under the Taewoo Group, and we provide full support for hospital and hospitalization expenses.”
“Then can your mother also get tested today?”
“of course. “If you decide to join the company today, the Taewoo Hospital ambulance will leave for your home.”
University hospitals were always full.
If you didn’t know anyone at the hospital, you had to wait several months or even a year to receive treatment.
Cheon Min-jeong had visited a university hospital before, so he knew very well how great the benefits I had proposed were.
“I don’t know why they went to such lengths to hire me, even though I didn’t even graduate from college.”
“It’s because we really need Cheon Min-jeong for the new project.”
“What project is this? It seems like it’s illegal as expected. It doesn’t matter. If you take responsibility for my younger brother’s school fees and my parents’ hospital bills, I don’t mind if I go to jail. “I will join Taewoo Group.”
It was Cheon Min-jeong who decided to join the company out of Simcheong’s feelings.
I scratched the back of my head and tried to clear up her misunderstanding.
“Do I have such a bad image? “Could it be that the Vice Chairman of Taewoo Group is leading an illegal project?”
“Because he is a chaebol.”
“It is true that I am a chaebol, but I have no intention of asking Cheon Min-jeong to do anything illegal. So you don’t have to worry about going to jail. “The Taewoo Group covered up the production of my graduation work on my behalf, so don’t worry.”
“If it’s not illegal, is there a reason you want to hire me? “What kind of project are you working on?”
It was finally time to bring up the story.
The reason why they tried so hard to recruit Cheon Min-jeong.
“It is a cryptocurrency project. “I plan to create a virtual currency called Bitcoin.”
“When you say virtual currency, do you mean game money?”
It was a time when the concept of Bitcoin had not yet emerged.
I think it was probably until 2009 that the first virtual currency was developed.
So, it was natural for Cheon Min-jeong to compare Bitcoin to game money.
“In some ways, it can be seen as similar to game money. However, unlike game money, Bitcoin is a virtual currency that can be trusted through a perfect encryption algorithm.”
“This is a concept I’ve never heard of before. “Creating a virtual currency through cryptography.”
Cheon Min-jeong was lost in worry.
Her expression, which was always hitting the wall, now has an innocence appropriate for her age.
Perhaps what she looks like now is her true self.
She was living against a huge wall due to the failure of her parents’ business and the bitterness of the world.
“Would you like to create virtual currency with me?”
“want to do. “I really want to do it!”
“We will create a team of cryptography and programming experts. “We are recruiting people from people who majored in cryptography in the military to people who are professors of cryptography at American universities.”
“Can I work with such an amazing person?”
“Believe in yourself. As Vice Chairman of Taewoo Group, I guarantee this.”
Finally, we were able to start the Bitcoin project.
It was a necessary project for Taewo Group to become the world’s best company.
