Chapter 154 – Episode 154

A Japanese brand’s luxury car quietly and coolly stretches out on the Incheon International Airport highway.

No one expected that Oh Hanam, vice president of Ilha Group, would be eating here. Even more so if the meal is a convenience store lunch box and cup ramen.

“Hmm! “Is it delicious?”

Oha didn’t eat the remaining few chopsticks, thinking he would just give them to the security guard, but he was impressed when he saw that his lunch box had shrunk by half.

“I heard that the quality of food in Korea has been leveled up overall. Even taking that into account, it’s delicious.”

South Korea was definitely an outstanding country. Should we say it is competitive?

What. To be precise, it meant that if you can’t do at least this much, you won’t survive.

A barren land with no useful resources.

It is already a small country, but 70% of it is a mountainous country.

“It is truly a place where only the lucky and strong survive.”

And Oh Hanam mutters quietly that he is lucky and strong.

The bodyguard who was listening quietly next to me reported a new fact.

“It is said that Lee Gin-hyung has spent all his money as of today.”

Who was Lee Gin-hyung?

When I turn my head for a second or two, Oh Hanam, who immediately comes to mind, bursts out in admiration.

He was one of Ohana’s ex-boyfriends.

“Ha, that bastard is such a great bastard. Have you already spent all 10 million won?”

“Yes. When I checked the usage history, I found out that there was overdue interest. It was confirmed that not a single penny was spent on solving the immediate problem, and that it was all gambled away. And the money spent on clubs operated by the company and entertainment districts is even more…”

“It’s okay. Until there.”

“Yes.”

Hanam Oh said, tapping the table he had set up for eating with his index finger.

“It was money given in cash to do that in the first place. Still, I thought he might give some of it to the family whose lives he ruined together. How did it happen that it didn’t go beyond my expectations? “It’s not even fun.”

Oh, he remembered something he had seen since he was young.
How helpless and evil a person can become in front of money.

If Han Ae-bom learned the ugliness and viciousness of people at an agency that resolved civil complaints, Oh Ha-nam was the type that learned something a little closer and more sloppy by following in her father’s footsteps.

“I feel strangely bad.”

As the sound of banging on the table became stronger, Oh Ha-nam muttered.

The hands of the driver holding the steering wheel are tense. Not only that, but the security guards also held their breath as if a chemical or biological bomb had exploded.

“Hmm. In the past, I never felt particularly uncomfortable spending money on things like this.”

I thought it was the only way to relieve stress. But why am I in a bad mood today?

Since Oh Hanam is faster than anyone else in objective analysis and thinking, it did not take more than 3 seconds to figure out the cause.

“Did you come here after meeting Kim Hyun-woo?”

“Suck!”

Oh Hanam flinched at the laughter that inadvertently escaped and ran a hand over his mouth.

“He really is a strange person, in many ways.”

Oh Hanam knew how crazy he was, and furthermore, how cautious he was.

The kindness and warmth he was known for was a thorough performance, and at the same time, it was like a safety device designed by him to protect him. Likewise, it is not enough to always install double or triple safety devices. I don’t even touch anything that is quite dangerous.

Actually, no one knows this.

While Oh Ha-nam was 27 years old, he was a person who had never even held hands with a woman in a personal relationship. That was because he was so careful that it bordered on myelopathy.

Women, money, power, etc…

He always analyzed things to be careful about from an objective perspective and tried not to be conceited. That’s why he was the type of person who had a hard time buying things and was stressed out, so the way to solve it was to play around with people.

Furthermore, about my younger sister, the only one I can treat with comfort.

“I told you before, that human. “It looks so boring and nothing special that I’m becoming sloppy without even realizing it?”

Oha Nam tilted his head. Are you just that careless?

Are you the one who never lets down your guard even in the face of an old man who seems to be looking for you the day after tomorrow?

“Of course, I really wanted to kill him at first.”

I am sincere.

Because of this strange personality, Oh Hanam was a person who hated nagging and interference, even from his own parents. So, he just follows everything his parents tell him to do.

However, a grumpy old man, who is not even his biological family, calls him ‘in the early morning’ and ridicules and looks down on him, denying his methods. Furthermore, as if nagging wasn’t enough, he stayed in the hospital room for ‘eight hours’ without being able to sit down, and under the guise of a sermon, he boasted about his granddaughter and told her what he wanted to say?

“Ha, fuck.”

Just thinking about it made me swear.

People who heard him swear for the first time thought it took their breath away. He even made the car, which was running well, flinch for a moment.

‘In my head, I actually stabbed him to death with a knife hundreds of times.’

In reality, he was listening to Han Se-ryong’s story objectively and calmly because he was older, had more experience, and had accomplished much greater achievements than himself.

‘If you live like me, the country will fail, right?’

Don’t hesitate to take the risk.

Pursue affection.

“Isn’t that because if we live like that now, the company will go bankrupt? Chairman Han Se-ryong.”

Of course, it wasn’t wrong.

In fact, Ilha Group is one of the conglomerates that receives the worst reviews in Korea, if not for its image. Should we call him a so-called traitor?

A company that is unfriendly domestically but overwhelmingly friendly overseas. That was the Ilha Group.

As a result, it was a company that earned a lot of foreign currency and maintained the highest salaries and benefits in the industry, at least for those working for the company.

“A country like this, whether it collapses or not. “What does it have to do with us?”

Looking at the birth rate anyway, it was a country that would be disassembled and reassembled on its own.

Now it’s too late to fix things, but the old people who were once successful are acting unreasonably even though they are reading the trend of the times properly.

“I would be less angry if I didn’t know. Damn old people. Ha.”

Those old people know that this country has already entered ruin.

Nevertheless, out of affection and loyalty to the country, they are forcing sacrifice and force on young people like themselves.

“This is so funny.”

Oh Ha-nam looked out his window while brushing up his bangs. Planes departing in the distance come into view.

“I have to say this directly in front of those old people.”

However, when faced with someone right in front of his nose, Oh Ha-nam was the type of person who rarely said things like this. He is that kind of person, but today he said quite a few things in front of Kim Hyun-woo that I thought were ‘necessary’.

“…”

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds… 1 minute.

Oh Hanam, who had been thinking for a long time, tilted his head in puzzlement.

“No, but he’s a really strange person.”

I’ve never had anything like this in my life.

He was definitely a person I wanted to kill, but when I came face to face with him for the second time, that pain was eased.

“Did you use some kind of magic?”

Or, just as Ohana has a huge crush on that person, the family’s genes or DNA are designed to easily accept that person. What nonsense…

I laugh out loud at the absurd thought, but one of the bodyguards who was watching next to me opens his mouth.

“Hey, vice president.”

“Tell me.”

“Hyung Lee… What should I do?”

“What should I do? Just leave him alone, watching as he has been doing all along. Just in case, let’s increase the number of people protecting one.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Also, since I have an appointment with Chairman Han Se-ryong, I will attach one person to Kim Hyun-woo’s family and people related to him to prepare for any unexpected situation. That crazy guy might have learned something from what I did.”

The security guard flinched at those words and opened his mouth even more cautiously.

“Hey, Vice President. That’s too much of a waste of manpower…”

“I understand what your intention was when you said that. There is no need to save on things like this. “Because this is better than having that ‘just in case’ situation occur.”

“Yes, I understand.”

After seeing the bodyguard’s expression as he quietly lowered his head, Oh Hanam looked out the window again with a sad expression.

‘Isn’t that positive mindset that didn’t think about what’s possible that made the country look like this?’

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that all humans except myself were pathetic.

“Fuck.”

In the meantime, Kim Hyun-woo was the only one trying to sneak out, and Oh Han-nam cursed again. Should I at least get some serious counseling?

‘Because I can’t ignore the possibility that I was hypnotized without my knowledge. ‘I guess I should go to the hospital.’

Meanwhile, the bodyguard, who had been holding his breath at the sight of Oh Hanam, opens his mouth again.

“Well, then what would you do in Kim Hyun-woo’s case? Chairman Han Se-ryong said you don’t have to do anything to that person.”

“That’s right.”

Because I was aiming for that in the first place and messed up Lee Jin-hyung.

“That’s right… But just in case, add at least one person.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Now that everything has been sorted out, complete silence has come.

Oh Ha-nam taps the table again, as is his habit, and looks down at the empty plastic convenience store lunch box under the car interior lights.

‘With 10 million won, you can roughly buy 1,265 lunch boxes.’

Furthermore, if you use the discount benefit, you will be able to buy a much larger quantity with the money. The guy who won that money lost it in almost a week, just as he expected.

‘Everyone does that.’

Give me some money. Give me a girl.

Furthermore, if you let them touch things that shouldn’t be touched.

It just falls apart on its own.

‘It’s so easy to be human.’

Just for a moment, just for a split second, if you let me sit on the throne.

As if the throne had been his from the beginning, he couldn’t forget the sweet taste he felt back then and struggled desperately.

In that sense, the tip I gave to Hyunwoo Kim was the same.

‘Easy money ruins people.’

… Oh, Hanam muttered and pressed his eyebrows with his thumb and index finger.

‘But isn’t 550,000 won too small? I was going to give you at least 5 million won.’

As we talked, I got a little excited without realizing it, and unlike what I had originally planned, I just spontaneously gave a sincere tip.

What… In fact, whether it is 550,000 won or 5 million won.

What if we see Kim Hyun-woo ruined because he is blinded by money.

“I don’t think it will feel very good.”

“Vice Chairman, we have arrived.”

“Let’s go.”

When Ohanam got out of his car, he took his hands out of his pockets, and only after getting out of his car did he put his hands in his pockets. He further said that he withdrew his hand only when he stood in front of an escalator or stairs.
Looking at Oh Ha-nam like that, the bodyguards who have been protecting him for several years already think.

It’s a shame that I’ve been following my employer for years and never had an accident, but I get paid 1.5 times as much as other people in the same industry. In addition, there was no need to feel burdened as we hired many people.

Meanwhile, Kim Hyun-woo was working all morning and thinking about the 550,000 won in his hand.

I finally made a decision.

“Let’s just think of it as free money and spend it wisely. Refreshingly.”
