Chapter 125 – Preparing for the Contest.

In the morning, Young-hee’s sister was in a hurry because she was late, so she hurriedly came home without even saying hello properly.
All the younger siblings had already gone to school, and it was not yet time to open the shop, so only her mother was doing makeup in the room.

My mother was 4 months pregnant and said that I had to be careful.
So she said her mother was doing her makeup now that she was getting ready to go down to the store.

As soon as my mother moved into this house she put on her makeup every morning.
I don’t wear heavy makeup like eye makeup, but I do makeup as simple as applying a little foundation and painting my lips lightly.
Even when she didn’t take care of herself, she was so beautiful and her skin was so pretty, but now that she’s wearing makeup, she’s become so beautiful that she looks completely different from a person.

As I entered the room, I saw her mother putting on her makeup so beautifully that I leaned against her door and looked at her mother.
My mother patted her face and she glanced at me and grinned.

“Wow. Our Hee-kyung is already pretty, but with makeup on, she’s a total angel. You are an angel.”

She lifted her chin while exclaiming whether her mother knew she was pretty, and she put on her makeup even harder.
She knows that the reason her mother does her make-up is that she has to go down to the store after a little while, but the bigger reason is that she looks good to me, a young westerner, and she is loved. There is.

I went up to her mother, hugged her from behind, kissed her on the cheek, then put her chin on her mother’s shoulder and rubbed her hand gently on her belly as she greeted the child.

“Did my baby sleep well all night without bothering mom?”

The mother lightly stroked my hand as she greeted the child, then asked if she was good yesterday, and she pryed at me with a mischievous smile hanging from her mouth.

“Ah.. Well.. Younghee noona.. Haha.”
“That said, it was good. Chit! Didn’t you want to see me?”

She suddenly looks like a pouting mother who turns her head away, like a girl, and sometimes she is startled like this.
I hugged her mother by the waist and kissed her shyly hesitantly.

My mother said it was a joke at my bewildered look, then turned her body around my neck and passionately kissed her.
She said it was a joke, but she couldn’t help feeling a strange feeling of jealousy and envy at her mother’s behavior.

However, since her mother had already made up her mind to accept her everything, she never showed off her, but rather tried to treat other women better.
I was so grateful and loving to have such a mother.

“Hee-kyung. For me, Hee-kyung is always my top priority. Know? If everyone is drowning and I have to save just one person, I will definitely save Hee-kyung. This is true.”
“Oh. Then what about the other kids?”
“Hmm. I’m a real badass when I say this, but if girls leave me, I might as well date other girls. But, Hee-kyung is so special to me that I can never date her again. That’s why I will only save Hee-kyung unconditionally.”

Even if my words were rubbish, my mother seemed to be happy with my words and came to her heart.

“Erg. Has my baby grown up a lot now?”

I put my hand on her mother’s belly and stroked her gently to change the mood.
My mother, now four months old, seemed to have a slight bulge in her tummy.

“Uh? I think Hee-kyung’s stomach is coming out?”
“What are you talking about? My stomach doesn’t come out anymore.”
“Huh~ So Hee-kyung, are you fat now? It won’t work. I need to do some exercise. For some reason, these days, he often just lays on my arm..”
“Huh! No.. No. I haven’t gained weight.”

With her frown on her face, her mother stammered her and touched her own belly.
I laughed, said it was a joke, and hugged her mother tightly and kissed her on the mouth.

It was only then that my mother realized that I was joking and patted my shoulder lightly.
However, from that day on, her mother came down to her shop during the day and started working briefly, and I had to follow her mother around and beg her to rest.

My mother knows I’m joking, but she wants to look pretty for the man she loves.
Even my mother was nervous because she was afraid that she would not look pretty to me because she had gained weight.
That’s how her mother got her hands on her work again, and she was able to quickly prepare for her next Crispy Chicken franchise business.

I went to the gym I haven’t been to in days.

The director was not in the hall, so I went to the director’s office to say hello.
But Sooyoung noona was sitting in the director’s office.
In the midst of talking with the director, Sooyoung noona’s laughter could be heard all the way to the entrance.

“Hello. Director. I am here.”
“Uh. Okay. Is Sungjin here? Come in for a second Suyeong is here too.”
“What is your sister doing here? Did you come to exercise at Hansol Gym today?”
“No. I came alone But why are you so busy that you miss several days of exercise?”
“Ah! It was what it was doing, so I couldn’t help it.”

The last time we worked out together for a while, we became close, and now we were talking to Sooyoung noona without hesitation.
The director looked at us and smiled heartily.

I came out of the director’s office, changed my clothes, and was in the middle of my workout when Suyeong noona came out and sat on a chair near me.

“Uh? Is your sister out? By the way, did you come because you have business?”
“Yes? That.. I came just to say hello to the director, and also to see your face. Hee~”

Soo-young noona stuttered her words awkwardly.
I couldn’t help but laugh at her obvious sister-in-law’s ulterior motive.

As I continued my workout, I sneakily saw Sooyoung noona, and I felt better when I saw the pretty face I had seen on the screen before, staring blankly at me.
Honestly, it would be a lie if I said that such a pretty woman, moreover, that a woman who would later become a famous beautiful movie star came to see me, but I was not in a bad mood.

In order to look more cool, I made some big movements and got my form.
Then, suddenly, someone punched me in the back of the head.
You were the manager.

“Hey. Aren’t you holding your posture right? Are you working out or getting in shape?”

Suyeong noona burst into laughter at my appearance, and I was embarrassed for a moment and laughed hehe.

“Wait. Seongjin, why do you think you are taller?”

The director came next to me and compared me to the director in the mirror and said.

“Hmm. I guess so.”
“Come here. Let’s measure your height.”

Following the director, I went to one side of the gym and stood in front of the equipment for measuring height and weight.
When I measured my height, I was 188 cm.
It is exactly my height that was completed in the second year of high school.
It weighed 73 kg.
She had a perfect inverted triangle body with a bust of 127 cm and a waist of 28 inches.

Sooyoung noona said that she could model, and hot lasers emanated from her eyes, and the director just smiled saying she was happy.

When she came out after finishing her workout, Suyeong noona was also saying hello to the director and coming out.
We naturally walked together.

Soo-young’s sister still had her ankle bandaged, and she limped slightly as if it were uncomfortable after walking a little.
When I calmly grabbed Suyeong-noona’s arm and gave her strength, Suyeong-noona looked up at me and smiled brightly.

After she walked like that for a while, Suyeong noona seemed to be uncomfortable, so she untied her arms and put her arms around mine.
I was taken aback for a moment, but when she saw Suyeong-noona smiling prettily, she put strength in her arms to support her body.

“Sister. Do you want to be a real movie star? I can see a little bit of the future, but if my sister becomes a movie star, I think I can definitely succeed.”
“I said that last time, and today they ask me to become a movie star. Do you really think I can do well if I become a movie star?”
“Huh. I can assure you. Noona will definitely succeed if she becomes a movie star.”
“Ho Ho. Thank you for the words But I definitely want to go to the Olympics. It’s my dad’s dream, and I want to win a gold medal too.”
“Hmm. That might be a bit difficult… Anyway, at least later, make sure to recognize your sister’s movie star. My sister suits me much better with a movie star than with the Olympics. I’m going to put that beauty aside and use it somewhere. Noona is pretty, so I’m sure she will succeed.”

When I told her I was pretty, Suyeong-noona seemed to be in a good mood and hugged my arm tighter and smiled.
Even though her legs are uncomfortable, she gave her taxi driver the fare for Suyeong-sister who was going to take the bus, and sent her in a taxi.
Sooyoung noona said she would come back later and waved her hand to say hello to her and went.

April is over and it is now May, when the weather is getting hotter.

She has been selling chitosan products for 15 days.
As huge orders poured in from all over the country, the factory was running non-stop.
The CEO of Biohealth didn’t expect it to gain such explosive popularity, but he pretended to die because he liked it after getting hit by a spell bomb.

Sungyeol hyung-nim also said thank you every time he saw me because his mouth was stuck in his ear when the sales were so good.
We decided to visit the stores nationwide sooner or later and encourage the members who have now become store owners.

A few days later, I was in the office of the store, watching the franchise work with Mrs. Jeong-hee.
Aunt Jeong-hee, who has now become somewhat proficient in her work, does most of the work, and I was envisioning a chicken franchise.

The most successful chicken franchise in my memory was the future BOQ Chicken.
BOQ Chicken, which entered the market in 1994 with Crispy Chicken, was a franchise that broke away from the concept of a chicken house as a shabby beer house at the time.
It was a franchise that introduced the concept of health and family with clean oil and neat and refreshing stores.

In 2017, it was a successful chicken franchise that took first place in the midst of numerous chicken franchises.
I was in the process of establishing a concept for a new chicken franchise, tracing my memories.

Naturally, I also focused on the clean store side.
BOQ used to promote the use of olive oil.
However, in 1991, the oil was too expensive to obtain.
After launching the chicken franchise, we decided to introduce olive oil when the number of stores increased, and first of all, we decided to change the oil frequently.
I was contemplating writing down various thoughts in a notebook for a while when the phone rang.

It was a call from Hyejeong, the president of a distribution company.
Suddenly, a problem arose on the fishery side.
I gave some instructions to Aunt Jeonghee and went straight to the distribution company.

Even though I entered the office, Young-hee noona couldn’t even look up and was frantically checking the documents.
When I quietly entered the president’s office, Auntie Hyejeong jumped up to greet me with a bright smile.
Aunt Hyejeong naturally sat me in her boss’s seat and stood next to her to explain the current situation.

The problem was that the delivery of red crab and shrimp was not working properly.
Now is an important time for product production and sales, but I was surprised at what the hell was going on when the supply of raw materials suddenly failed.

I immediately called Sungyeol-hyung.
At first, the member of the organization who ordered us to buy large quantities of red crab and shrimp was handling the purchase alone, so we couldn’t match the quantity to our order.
Although the members of the organization said that they would purchase red snow crab and shrimp, the sudden increase in quantity made it difficult for them to handle alone.
In a word, there was a lack of personnel.

After hearing the story, it seemed that there might be a setback in product production sooner or later.
Seongryeol-hyung and I seriously talked on the phone and tried to come up with an alternative solution.
At that time, I heard the voices of people shouting that they were carrying things over the receiver.
It was only then that I remembered that there were members among the members who had not yet been assigned a sales outlet.
Most of the members of the organization were young members around the age of 20, so they decided to give up the store when they got older, and were doing various miscellaneous jobs in the office as an assistant manager.

“Ah! Older brother. You haven’t given the store to the older brothers and sisters who were in the office last time, have you?”
“Huh. You guys are still young, so why don’t you give me a store, so I’m just giving you a salary.”
“Older brother. Then, how about mobilizing those younger brothers to the fishing industry? I think we can run the whole country with about 10 people.”
“Oh. That’s a good idea too. Let me ask you one more time.”

After hanging up the phone, Seong-yeol went to the office and called 20 young gang members who had not yet received a store.
Sungyeol explained and half-forcedly decided to select and send 10 people.

I decided to raise my salary more, and decided to send it to a member of the fishing industry to learn the work.
It didn’t seem like it would be bad to work hard and work there at all.
While talking to Sungryeol-hyung again, I smiled heartily when I heard about this.
