Chapter 399 – Part 3

The next day, Seong-jin and his party started negotiating with Wal-Mart again.
Hyeon-Sook Jeong interprets for her and she learns what is going on, and she is surprised to learn that Seong-Jin is even going to set up a factory in America.

We ate lunch together with Wal-Mart and toured the factory site.
I liked Seongjin in general, such as the size and location of the land.

There was a market price of the land shown by Wal-Mart, but Seong-jin decided to find out the market price on his own and decided to make the final decision the next day and parted ways.
This is because, knowing the market price of the land accurately, it was possible to set the land price as an asset and divide the stake by comparing the amount of funds Sungjin would invest.

And that job was taken over by Jeong Hyeon-sook, who had lived in the United States for a long time.
Seong-jin and her party returned to the hotel and had another meeting with today’s conditions, and Jeong Hyeon-sook went around to find out the market price of her land.

At the gathering in the evening, Jeong Hyeon-suk gave her the market price of her land she had known.
Although Wal-Mart tended to price it a little high, it was generally satisfactory.

The next day, Sungjin decided to invest 5 billion won in the US plant.
Seongjin vs. Walmart decided to take the stake 51 to 49, and unusually, Sungjin decided to pick the president of the US branch.

Wal-Mart strongly objected to that part, but Seong-jin pushed to appoint Hyun-sook Jeong as the head of the US branch, and Wal-Mart decided to recommend a vice president.
Wal-Mart was surprised to hear that Hyeon-sook Jeong, whom she had known as the woman who did her interpreting work, was in fact a PhD in Business Administration at UCLA.

Jung Hyeon-sook said she was completely distraught about what had happened today.
She had never run a company before, and she was the head of the American branch in a world that was suddenly good to her.

“Mr. Hyunsook. Can you get a sense of what I’m talking about now?”

Returning to the hotel after completing her contract, Seong-jin sat Hyun-sook Jeong next to her and smiled at her.

“It still feels like a dream. Unbelievable things like this happened to me all of a sudden.. Seongjin-ssi.. I think you are really amazing.”

“Haha.. I haven’t even started to do anything properly yet, so what are you saying.. Heck..”

Seongjin suddenly laughed sinisterly, and Jeong Hyeon-suk looked at her with a puzzled face.

“Now that the contract has been signed, I will take you away from that pervert her husband in earnest.”

“Yes? That… What is that…”

“Listen to me. And you have to believe in my words unconditionally and do it. OK?”

Then Sungjin started explaining what he was plotting.
As her story progressed, Jung Hyeon-sook’s face grew worried, then she turned to surprise, and eventually she stuck out her tongue and shook her head.

“Haa.. Do I really have to go that far?”

“Sure. I understand Hyeon-sook’s kind heart, but I can never forgive the man who hit my woman. I really want to kill him, but that’s impossible, so I’m doing it like this. Hyunsuk Mr. Will you do as I say? Never trust me and follow me. For the sake of the child in your belly, okay?”

When Jung Hyeon-suk heard her say that it was for her child, her eyes slowly began to grow poisonous.
And she thought it would be fun on the one hand.
Jung Hyeon-sook looked at Seong-jin and smiled at her, then nodded her head in agreement.

After forming her plan with Seong-jin, Hyeon-suk Jung returned to her house later that day.
After Jung Hyeon-suk ran away like that, her husband, Kim Seong-il, was staying at her house.

“H-Honey. I’m sorry. I was really wrong. Where are you going?”

When did she abandon herself and leave the house, and when did she beat and intimidate herself like that? How did Jeong Hyeon-suk’s attitude change so quickly after leaving the house for only two days?
She became convinced that she must and she must break up with this man.

“Hey honey… I have something to tell you.”

Watching Jeong Hyeon-suk not knowing how Kim Seong-il would change, she cautiously brought her words out.

“Huh? What do you say?”

It wasn’t some kind of double personality, and Kim Seong-il couldn’t be that kind with a smile on his lips.
Strangely, it was because Jeong Hyeon-sook looked very beautiful in the eyes of Kim Seong-il today.

He obviously had a new haircut and changed his clothes to brand-name items, but Kim Seong-il did not notice that.
It may be because he is indifferent to his wife and has completely different thoughts.

“You remember when I worked as an interpreter at Wal-Mart?”

“Yes. It was… It was.”

It was also a face that did not know what Jung Hyeon-sook was doing.

“I did it again this time. And then I learned something very big. No, well, the good world of Korea’s HK Group and Walmart are joining hands to build a large wet tissue factory in the United States.”

Kim Seong-il’s eyes began to twinkle in an instant.

“That… So?”

“So I went straight to the chairman of the HK Group.”

“What? That.. Then you came back after bragging about that.. Guy for a few days?”

Kim Seong-il’s face was horribly distorted as he said ‘that man’.
But the voice wasn’t as angry as before.
Jeong Hyeon-sook was dumbfounded when she saw Kim Seong-il’s reaction, and she seemed to get goosebumps for some reason.

“What.. No. Is that important now?”

Jeong Hyeon-sook held back her anger and spoke bluntly.

“Kuhmm.. Well.. Anyway, so how did it go?”

“I recommended you to be the manager of the factory.”

“What? Jin… Really?”

As if Kim Seong-il’s body was about to jump, he raised his upper body.
And the face that started to expect a lot…

“Yes. Then the president asked to see you tomorrow… How about you?”

“Go. Must go I am confident that I will do well. I am confident that I will succeed. I am a Ph.D. In Business Administration at UCLA. It’s not even a job to run a company like that.. Haha..”

The thoughts that Kim Seong-il had already had a child with another man, or that Jeong Hyeon-suk might have been involved in body lobbying, had already disappeared.
He was only drawing himself as the president with blurred eyes, showing endless confidence.

Jung Hyeon-suk is really ugly today, as her husband, who is already ugly, is clearly compared to Sung-jin, and she looks pathetic.

“Honey.. Thank you. And I’m sorry. I should have done better, but did I just worry about you?”

Seongil Kim spoke softly and held Hyunsuk Jeong’s hand.
Jeong Hyeon-sook got goosebumps from her and took her hand away from her.

“I will do better in the future. I need you You are my fortune.. Haha..”

Kim Seong-il was excited alone.
Seongil Kim was excited and hugged Hyeonsuk Jeong.

Jung Hyeon-sook couldn’t stand it.
Originally, I was planning to talk with Kim Seong-il like this today, sleep at home, and move together at the same time tomorrow.
But I really didn’t want to be with this human for even a second.

“That… Yes. Honey… I’m sorry. I… I have to go see it.”

“Huh? That… What does that mean? Aren’t you with me today?”

“I can’t help but put you in the president’s seat. Phew..”

Kim Seong-il’s face was horribly distorted.
But the words that came out of his mouth were completely different from his face.

“That… Is it? If that’s the case… You can’t… You can’t.”

“Do not worry. There’s nothing special about the president. Just give me a treat, and I’ll come back even if it’s late. Maybe.. If you’re late, you might not be able to come in.. Come to the restaurant at the Grand Hotel by 6pm tomorrow. It should be as clean as possible. OK?”

Kim Seong-il frowned and nodded his head wordlessly.
Jung Hyeon-sook took her bag and car keys and left her house.

Returning to Seongjin’s room, Jung Hyeon-sook finally felt relieved.
Jung Hyeon-suk was able to realize how much she relied on and loved Seong-jin to the extent that she was able to stabilize her mind.

“No, Hyunsook. Why are you here already? You were supposed to come to the meeting place tomorrow with her husband.”

Jeong Hyeon-sook was put into Sung-jin’s arms without saying anything.

Clearly, Kim Seong-il was her husband, whom she had been living with for more than 10 years.
But being with him made me feel stuffy, scared, and anxious.

It was the same as before.
It was so creepy and repulsive that I wondered how he lived with him.

However, Seong-jin, who had only met her for a few months, was different.
Like this, she felt so comfortable and happy just being with Sungjin.

“I couldn’t… I didn’t want to be in the same room with him. And I know for sure. That I only have Seongjin.”

Seongjin smiled brightly at those words, lifted Jeong Hyeon-suk into her princess arms, and carefully set her down on her bed.
Then, lying on top of her, he kissed Jung Hyeon-sook on the lips, and she lovingly stroked her belly.
As if she promised to protect the child in her belly..

Jung Hyeon-sook said Seong-jin’s kiss was so sweet, and his hand was so warm.
She has been living with Sungjin for several days already, but this dreamlike feeling has not diminished at all.

“Sungjin, I love you. And… Thank you for finding me like this.”

As she stroked Seongjin’s cheek, Hyeonsuk Jung shed tears, and Seongjin just smiled warmly.
And the two hugged each other tightly with a very happy heart, and fell asleep like that.

The next day, Seong-il Kim showed up at the hotel an hour earlier than the scheduled time.
He looked at himself neatly dressed in a suit in the mirror in the hotel lobby, making sure that there were no strange spots, while restlessly walking around the lobby waiting for the time to pass.

With about 10 minutes left, Seongil Kim, who entered the restaurant, was guided to the reserved place and sat down.
The reserved place was an inner secret room that only special people could enter even in this expensive and top-notch restaurant.

I don’t know how many glasses of cold water I’ve already had.
From the pressure of the venue to the pressure of having to look good today, Kim Seong-il was constantly rubbing his hands and feeling nervous.

At exactly six o’clock the door to the secret room opened and a tall, very handsome man entered.
And Jeong Hyeon-sook came in following him.

Jeong Hyeon-sook said, “She was decorated to the fullest even today, so she was so beautiful that she shone.
As Seongil Kim looked at Hyeonsuk Jeong, her eyes changed, and the corners of her mouth naturally went up.
As if the woman was bragging that she was her own wife.

Kim Seong-il looked at Seong-jin and heard that he was the chairman of the HK Group. He was surprised when someone younger than he thought entered.
Seongjin went to sit in front of Kim Seongil, and Jeong Hyeonsook went and sat next to Kim Seongil.

“Hello? My name is Lee Seong-jin, who serves as the chairman of the HK Group.”

“Yes. Ahn.. How are you? My name is Seongil Kim. Here.. My resume..”

Seong-jin sat down and said hello, and Kim Seong-il quickly bowed his head and, as if he had prepared all night, immediately took out the documents from the envelope and handed them to Seong-jin.
There were so many documents that it was hard to believe that he had prepared them in one day, including his lengthy self-introduction, UCLA diploma, and doctoral degree certificate.

Seongjin pretended to be skimming and set her papers down beside her.

“What. You are Jung Hyeon-sook’s husband. How would you like to be? Let’s eat first.”

Kim Seong-il was convinced that Hyun-suk Jeong had made the right position.
It was because Sungjin’s tone was very soft, and her vibe was quite good.

Kim Seong-il held the hand of Jeong Hyeon-suk, who was sitting next to him under the table.
It was an action with multiple meanings.
She also intended to show Seong-jin that her Hyeon-suk Jeong was her woman, and at the same time praising Hyeon-suk Jeong that she had done well, she also intended not to think about running away.

Jung Hyeon-suk was startled and looked at Seong-jin’s eyes and secretly pulled out her hand.
Kim Seong-il looked pretty even when Jeong Hyeon-suk acted like that, and a coy smile appeared on her lips.

Mealtime was amicable.
Seong-jin continued the conversation on various topics, and Kim Seong-il also used difficult terms that brought a smile to her lips, pretending to know and pretending to be proud and ignorant.
Part of it is because she wants to look good to Seong-jin, but it is also because she wants to appeal to her wife as her cool husband because the beautiful Jeong Hyeon-sook keeps getting stepped on by her eyes.

After the meal, the seats naturally led to a drinking party with wine.
Seong-jin’s demeanor was so well-mannered, and when she didn’t even look at Jung Hyun-sook very much, it seemed that she didn’t care much about Jung, so Kim Seong-il was in a good mood for her.

Judging from the attitudes of Seongjin and Hyeonsuk Jeong, it seemed that the two were not related like that.
Even though the age difference between the two is so great, I also thought that there was no way that the proud chairman would be able to take care of her aged wife.

Thinking so, Kim Seong-il thought that this was a position he had obtained purely on his own.
He didn’t have to give the wife he loved, who was prettier today, to someone else.
Kim Seong-il was full of hope that he could take care of money, honor, and even love.

Now he’s back to normal and he just needs to do better for Jung Hyeon-sook.
Her wife is pregnant with another man’s child, but she doesn’t have any children anyway, and she can’t have her own children, so shouldn’t she just raise them thinking that she’s my child?
Kim Seong-il felt that the wine was sweet today.

Quite a bit of time passed, and Kim Seong-il got up to go to the bathroom.
Kim Seong-il, who went to the bathroom happily while singing his hum song, returned to his seat and was frozen.
