Chapter 194 – Episode 194
“Hey, dude. A kid who needs to prepare for a job shouldn’t come to a place like this often!”
As she looks at the Polaroid photo she took with the maid, she thinks she would be much better if it were Yoon Su-ah.
The store manager who was fidgeting next to me said. I guess I’ve had that in mind since a while ago.
“Don’t worry, manager. “I will work hard to prepare for employment.”
I am a person who may have to achieve the crazy goal of polygamy in the future. If I fail from there already, the chairman of Hanban Group will not leave me alone. Really.
‘It is true that preparations for employment are urgent.’
However, the reason I continued to succeed was to continue to be with the women I was living with.
People should not lose or forget their original intention.
Then, at some point, you will become a different person.
‘At least I won’t become an Ohanam. Is that safe?’
I muttered softly and chuckled, but the manager, who saw this, must have misunderstood something again. He just pulls my arm.
“Hey, that won’t work. Let’s go quickly and have a drink. How about soju with pork belly? Soju with pork belly.”
“Are there people who don’t like that?”
It’s nice to complete Yun Su-ah’s quest and imagine how happy she will be. For now, the priority was to spend time neatly with the store manager.
Because there are so many things I want to say.
[Dongne Samgyeop]
It was a pork belly restaurant that was similar in size to the one-room apartment I was staying in.
I nod my head because the old signboard that looks like it’s almost 10 years old, and the interior atmosphere don’t seem bad. The store manager flinches and shouts.
“The spending at the maid café is more than I expected, so I can’t buy more expensive meat. “You bastard.”
“Who says what? Rather, it’s good. “Here.”
“Yeah, really? Young! Yeah, dude. You shouldn’t complain about something you get paid for. Besides, this place is actually a restaurant that only people in the know about.”
I never complained.
“Okay, so. Come in. Next time I succeed, I’ll shoot for beef.”
“You promised twice?”
“Twice?”
“Even when I was drunk back then, you said you would buy me beef if I got a job. You bastard. “If you say it twice, be sure to follow it!”
“…”
I quickly pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at the store manager with a puzzled expression.
I really wonder if people can be so awkward in some way all the time. However, this was the store manager I knew.
The store manager was Lee Seong-ho.
They suddenly take me to a maid café and tell me to read web novels… Because I was a somewhat clumsy person like this. I was able to become who I am today without being overcome by various strong temptations or depression.
I was so moved that I opened my mouth. Before him, a person believed to be the store owner approached.
“Oh my, Chief. “It’s been a while since you came.”
“Ah, it’s been a while. Now her wife only eats out with her daughters… I never had a chance to come here. Oh, and I’m no longer an exaggeration.”
“Hehe, I guess so. Now a conductor? Or the manager?”
“No. “I run two convenience stores.”
“Ah… ! I see. Well, I heard that companies are under a lot of stress these days.”
The store owner, who noticed something slightly, quickly changed the topic. I didn’t even ask if the convenience store was doing well.
Korea’s economy must be so bad.
Is there any place that is doing well these days? There was no way that a self-employed person would not know about him.
‘Chairman Han Se-ryong wanted to overturn this somehow.’
To that end, he wanted to elevate Han Ae-bom, not Han Ae-bom’s father, to the position of chairman. Furthermore, he wanted to change the mindset of the entire Korean people.
However, it was not as easy as it sounds.
Han Se-ryong was a warrior who grew up on the battlefield, and the people of today are sheep who grew up eating grass in rich grasslands. The problem is that the grass has now withered a lot.
“This way?”
“Ah! Well, this is the app that worked at our convenience store not long ago. After working for almost two years, I quit to prepare for employment. “I thought I’d buy you some meat.”
“Wow, two years! Incredible. “I need to prepare this with only the most delicious meat.”
The store owner glanced at me, carefully told me to cheer up, and then went into the kitchen.
“The store owner doesn’t look at me, but he looks at you. I guess young people these days are scary. That boss used to be able to easily talk to anyone. It looks like you got burned a lot one way or another. I can see that the person is intimidated, I can see it.”
The store manager was right.
I know this because I have encountered it several times while working part-time.
Not everyone is like that, though. Some of the young kids these days are scary. To be exact, I was only scared of people from the same country.
What was it like in the past?
It would have been the opposite. It must have shown reassurance to people from the same country and shocked people from other countries.
I can feel it all over again.
How many things have changed in the past 20 years due to abundance. In fact, a lot of the venomous body was gone, but a lot of strange poison had formed, and it was rotting from the inside.
“Manager.”
“Huh?”
“If you give the sheep weapons and dress them in armor… Can we beat the wolf?”
“I wonder if this is a random question. I think you can’t win. Sheep and wolves are different from the beginning. It would be better to raise another reliable dog to protect the sheep.”
The store manager said, laughing.
“I saw it in Shorts. When you see hundreds of sheep being swayed around by a single dog, it is better to just raise a proper dog instead of doing unnecessary things to the sheep.”
“…”
I couldn’t help but be dazed once again by the store manager’s unexpected words.
For some reason, I feel like that’s what Han Se-ryong expects from me. Even though he doesn’t expect me to become a dragon like him, I think I can become at least a tiger.
So, I thought that by Han Se-ryong’s standards, it would once again bring the craze of the times called its heyday to this country, which is gradually declining.
I don’t know if that’s possible.
“Boss, is business doing well these days?”
“Giggle. Well, I just need to fix things occasionally. Now exaggeration… No, because I only come to people who remember me like the boss. What should I do? “I can’t keep up with the times.”
“Hey, where is that? It’s because of the recession these days. Whenever I go home, I get hit on the back by my wife. Hehe.”
If it was possible, I wanted to do it even if it meant breaking my body.
I never dreamed that I would have such self-sacrificing thoughts. As things began to be placed on my shoulders one by one, my thoughts changed without me knowing.
“Come on, let’s have a glass of soju before the meat is all cooked. The acorn jelly here is killing me again.”
I held up the tongs as if to steal something and poured some soju into the manager’s glass.
“I will succeed.”
“Uh? Yeah, yeah. “You have to succeed, man.”
“I don’t know about the store manager. I received quite a bit of help indirectly from the store manager. So, I will definitely succeed.”
Maid café. Web novel… In a way, many other things started from the mouth of that human being.
“I don’t know what help you got from me. As you become successful, I hope that Korea will also take off a bit. “I don’t know if that would be possible in a land where not even a single blade of grass grows anymore.”
“Well. That’s something you don’t know. Who knows? Will I be able to make a big difference to the country of Korea?”
“Giggles, what can’t you say while drinking! Yes, you do it all, you do it all.”
「Jjaeang!」
I thought to myself over and over again as I clinked glasses with the store manager.
Even though I am grateful to this person, I will definitely succeed.

“Are you interested in working at a maid café?”
It made no sense if a human being who was supposed to be successful enough to change the world couldn’t solve even one quest like this.
Not only Yoon Soo-ah but everyone in the studio blinked at my sudden question, which was completely cut off.
“What maid café? Rather, Su-ah is working part-time? “Is that okay?”
Before Yoon Su-ah could answer.
Ohana started talking about this and that. At the same time, she snatched the photo taken at the maid café from my hand and was surprised.
“Aaaaah! Hey, what is this! “This person, did you go to Hwamong again?”
“What?”
At the word Hwamong, Aebom flinches and turns her body. She said she didn’t care, but surprisingly she does.
I spoke quickly.
“It’s not Hwamong. I went to a maid café that opened near my house. The store manager asked me to come with him.”
Ohana’s eyes narrow.
“Damn, are you asking us to look at you and believe that absurd excuse? How old is the convenience store manager? He asked his brother to go to a maid café with him! Oh my god! What kind of store manager would say that!”
“…”
I really don’t have anything to say.
“I said I really went there. Look at this.”
Knowing that this would happen, I asked the store manager in advance to take a photo for proof. About going to a maid café together.
Go further.
“I bet my love for you is real. “I heard the store manager asked you to go first?”
“… ! Well, if you say it that way… Ah, okay.”
Ohana suddenly becomes shriveled and gets stuck in a corner. Han Ae-bom asked in place of Oh Ha-na, who naturally retired.
“So I went to a maid café, and it was fun… That aside. Soo-ah, why are you suddenly recommending that to her sister? “She is still doing well.”
“I thought it would suit you well. “I really think I would work better at a maid café than anyone else.”
The aptitude rating is a whopping 99.
In fact, it was clear that Yoon Su-ah would be more happy, regardless of the fact that it was her calling. In the first place, her quest was also Yun Su-ah’s joy.
However, I guess Han Ae-bom was a bit unconvinced.
“You have to fit in well. When I look at Su-ah, she reminds me of professional maids I’ve seen overseas. However, working at a maid café is different from a real maid. Besides, you know Su-ah’s health situation very well.”
“I know.”
“Someone I know…”
“Nevertheless, I think. “I think Su-ah will be happier and happier working there.”
“If you say that much, I don’t have anything more to say. “It is a matter for Su-ah to decide.”
I nodded.
And, he said while looking at Yoon Su-ah.
“Please tell us your opinion, Su-ah.”
“I am…”
I am filled with myself in Suah Yoon’s round and pure eyes.
“… This time, it’s not because Hyunwoo recommended it.”
Huh? Does something sound strange?
“Want to do. I want to do it purely with my heart. But, can I, can I?”
When I heard Yun Su-ah’s voice full of anticipation and fear, I held onto her hand tightly.
“Do not worry. I will take responsibility!”
“… !”
“No matter what happens, I will take full responsibility! Give it a try! If Sua wants to try it! “What I want to do!”
At that moment, Yoon Su-ah’s eyes became a little strange.
It’s trippy and a little spicy. Where have I seen that before? While walking down the street, people who approach me and ask me if I believe in the Tao usually give me that look…
“Ah, thank you, thank you.”
Before I knew it, Yun Su-ah had lowered her head and was muttering something.
“I will continue to work hard in the future. More, harder.”
I don’t know what she’s trying to do.
Her instinct was that it was a topic she should never delve into deeply. She felt that way just by looking at the mysterious eyes of Oh Hana and Han Aebom next to her.
What on earth is that?
