A few days later.

Today again, I went to work with a heavy body.

The head of the planning department who came to the vice president’s office for a morning report saw my face and sighed.

“Did you not sleep well today? You look so tired. How about reducing your workload? And if that doesn’t work, it would be a good idea to get a prescription for a sleep aid. “The Chairman is not here, and if the Vice Chairman is also absent, Taewo Group will be in danger.”

“I don’t need any sleep aids. “Just because I can’t sleep doesn’t mean I can’t sleep.”

There is another reason why I can’t sleep these days.

I didn’t have time to sleep because I was talking on the phone with Cheon Min-jeong every night.

She came up with new ideas every night, and as we talked about where to use those ideas, it was already morning.

“If this situation continues, I have no choice but to report it to the chairman.”

“I already tried to find a way starting today. “It will get better starting tomorrow, so don’t worry too much.”

“For the sake of Taewoo Group, please take good care of your body. Please keep in mind that hundreds of thousands of Taewoo Group employees are on your shoulders, Vice President.”

The head of the planning department was very nagging today.

But I had to quietly accept his nagging.

Even when I looked at it, my face looked tired.

“Are there any other reports?”

“Advisor Seo Jeong-jun has requested a meeting.”

“Please call me now. “I need to finish my schedule in the morning and rest a bit in the afternoon.”

Advisor Seo Jeong-jun was waiting before going to work.

In less than 5 minutes, I entered the vice president’s office.

The area around his eyes looked puffy due to how much he had been worrying about it.

The condition of my face was not much different from when I looked in the mirror in the morning.

“I guess you had a lot to worry about.”

“I had a lot of conversations with my colleagues and thought a lot about it.”

“So what is your conclusion?”

“Can I accept only part of the Vice President’s proposal?”

“Of course, this is something that can be coordinated. “How can we coordinate this?”

“There was talk that a 40% stake was too excessive. “Can I reduce my stake to 30%?”

A 40% stake may have seemed excessive.

Although it was said that it would remain as a friendly stake, it was a stake that could put pressure on management at any time.

“I will accept it if, instead of reducing it to 30%, they designate me as the preferred negotiator when selling the stake.”

“thank you. “As the stake has decreased, we will receive less investment support.”

“There is no need for that. We will continue to invest 10 billion won. Wouldn’t you be able to travel around the world and meet experts if you had that much money? And if you want to have a meal at a good place with an expert, you have to have solid funds.”

“thank you! thank you!”

It didn’t matter much if the stake was reduced to 30%.

It took several years for the company created by advisor Seo Jeong-jun to grow, and additional shares could be acquired in the meantime.

“Are there any other conditions? “We will accommodate Advisor Seo Jeong-jun as much as possible.”

“There is something I would like to ask you for, not a condition. “It is not easy to contact professors and experts related to the bio industry.”

“You’re asking me to build a bridge. If you ask for that much, I can grant it to you. “Just tell us the name of the expert you want and we will schedule a meeting.”

Advisor Seo Jeong-jun had a business card that said he was now an executive of Taewo Group.

However, as soon as he left Taewo Group, his business card disappeared, making it difficult to meet people.

“Thank you so much for accepting my difficult request.”

“Still, a former member of my family is starting a company, so I have to help him at least this much. If you have any difficulties, please contact us at any time. I will help as much as I can. “I can also arrange a meeting with an American pharmaceutical company.”

Through David, I was able to arrange a meeting with a pharmaceutical company representative.

Since we have connections not only in the United States but also in Germany, Japan, and Europe, which are powerhouses in the bio industry, we planned to allow Advisor Seo Jeong-jun to meet someone more famous than he could have imagined.

Now that I’ve decided to help, I have to make sure to push for it.

That way, there will be more to skip later.

“I don’t know what to say. “I never thought you would help me this much.”

“I guess I should add a condition to the contract. “On the condition that I never say thank you again in the future.”

“I will definitely repay this favor!”

“I am satisfied just because the company that Advisor Seo Jeong-jun created is doing well.”

That’s because the value of the stake increases.

It was advisor Seo Jeong-jun who kept repeating “thank you” like a parrot.

While signing the contract, I bowed my head several times and expressed my gratitude.

I didn’t know that I wanted to finish my schedule quickly and get some sleep.

“Do not let anyone in for three hours. “Unless it’s really urgent, don’t even make the call.”

After finishing my schedule with Advisor Seo Jeong-jun, I fell asleep in my chair.

After sleeping for three hours, I started working again in the afternoon.

And when it was almost time to get off work, instead of going home, I went to the Taewu IT building and looked for Cheon Min-jeong.

“Are things going well?”

“Vice Chairman! I already had something I wanted to say. “There are ways to increase the scope of advertising exposure on SNS.”

As expected, it was Cheon Min-jeong who was pouring out ideas again.

It wasn’t a machine that churned out ideas, but it was amazing how dozens of different ideas could be created in a person’s head every day.

“We tell stories in the car. As expected, Cheon Min-jeong couldn’t sleep well, so her face was very damaged.”

“The vice president doesn’t look in good condition either.”

What I mean is that I couldn’t sleep.

This means that Cheon Min-jeong also did not have time to sleep.

I could have taken a nap in the vice president’s office, but Cheon Min-jeong didn’t even have time to do so.

For my sake and Cheon Min-jeong’s sake, I needed to change my current rhythm of life.

“From now on, we will have a conversation in the moving car, and if that is not enough, we will have the rest of the conversation at a cafe. “We talk on the phone all night, so I don’t have enough time to sleep.”

“If we meet and talk, we might be able to convey the information faster.”

Conveying thoughts through words was less efficient.

Even if you convey the same content, the ability to convey it is different when you meet in person and have a conversation.

Therefore, I decided to shorten the time spent talking by visiting Cheon Min-jeong in person.

“We’ll talk about the rest of the ideas at the cafe in front of Cheon Min-jeong’s house.”

“There is a cafe that is open 24 hours a day. “I will guide you.”

We talked for over an hour in the car, but it wasn’t enough.

In the end, we went to the cafe and continued the rest of the story.

“I really like the idea of ​​combining a messenger app and a distribution system.”

“We are creating a system where you can notify your friends’ birthdays through push notifications and even give them gifts. “I’m sure many customers will use it because they can celebrate their birthdays with just a few touches.”

It was an idea I already knew about.

However, just thinking about this idea at this point was amazing, so I focused on the conversation with Cheon Min-jeong.

“That’s it for today. “It’s already past 12 o’clock.”

“I have so many ideas that haven’t been said yet.”

“Then, let’s gather some ideas and look at them all over the weekend. “Since I don’t go to work on the weekends, wouldn’t we be able to have idea meetings in the morning?”

“Then I’ll organize my ideas.”

I was finally able to make time to sleep.

Since we usually got off work at 8 o’clock, we discussed ideas for 4 hours until 12 o’clock on weekdays.

On weekends, I spent 15 hours from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., wandering around cafes and restaurants and meeting ideas with Cheon Min-jeong.

***

A few days later.

After a long time, the chief secretary came to see me early in the morning.

“young master! No, Mr. Vice President, you should read the newspaper!”

“Has something big happened? Could it be that there was a fire at the factory?”

Whenever the chief secretary came with a newspaper, something big would always happen.

I swallowed my saliva, took the newspaper, and burst into laughter at the content of the article, which was completely different from what I expected.

“What is this?”

“Who is the woman you are meeting? celebrity? Or announcer? “As long as there are no legal problems, it’s okay.”

The content of the newspaper article was as follows.

[Taewoo Group Crown Prince’s pink airflow]

-There are eyewitness accounts coming from all over that Taewoo Group’s successor, Vice Chairman Kim Min-jae, enjoys a cafe date with a beautiful woman.

It was an article that included several photos.

It was something that made people misunderstand that I was in a relationship.

It was an article written so well that even my chief secretary, who knows everything about me, misunderstood.

“The dating rumors are nonsense. You are having a meeting of ideas with company employees. “The idea meeting got longer, so we just went to restaurants and cafes together.”

“According to the article, on weekdays, I go to cafes after work, and on weekends, I go to restaurants and cafes from morning until night.”

“We have to have idea meetings even on weekends.”

“… … “Isn’t that a date?”

It was a situation that could easily have been mistaken.

But really, we just discussed ideas and didn’t talk about anything else.

“I don’t mind, but Cheon Min-jeong might get in trouble. If possible, please take measures to prevent the article from being published.”

“Hmm, I will do that. “We may not be able to completely block articles, but we will make sure that personal information does not leak out.”

I didn’t think it was a big deal.

The employees I met on my way to work whispered, but I didn’t care and went about my work.

As usual, after work, I went to Taewoo IT to discuss ideas with Cheon Min-jeong.

“Vice President, are you okay?”

“What?”

Cheon Min-jeong got into the car and suddenly said something strange.

Are you okay? Are you saying that you are okay with the rumor that you are dating?

“I also read the newspaper today. But, if you discuss ideas with me for such a long time, won’t your lover misunderstand?”

“… … Who misunderstands? Cheon Min-jeong, aren’t there some misunderstandings?”

“no. “Why would I misunderstand?”

“Well, I don’t have a lover. And the person I’m dating that appeared in the newspaper is Cheon Min-jeong.”

Cheon Min-jeong was a really smart person.

However, just because he had high intelligence did not mean he was quick to notice.

Perhaps because I grew up eating too much from a young age, I had a different way of thinking from the general public.

“The beautiful woman in the article is me?”

“that’s right. Since I took care of this, Cheon Min-jeong will never be revealed. “We explained that it was an idea meeting, so articles like that won’t appear in the future.”

“… … thank god.”

It was Cheon Min-jeong, smiling brightly.

It was the first time I met her and saw her smile so brightly.

“But what is fortunate?”

“no. Rather, I have an idea that suddenly occurred to me today. “We are creating a service that combines messaging and finance!”

So we fell into the idea meeting again.
