Chapter 308 – Episode 308
Suddenly I got goosebumps.
Should I say that I realized for myself why competition between companies is essential from the consumer’s perspective?
‘It seems like the great Chairman Han Se-ryong also gets annoyed when he has a competitor.’
Well, Chairman Han Se-ryong has never given me any advice in advance, including while on the golf course. Still, something is more urgent today than usual? It felt a bit like an emotional call.
I guess I wasn’t the only one who felt this way.
While a strange, invisible tension hovers in the air, the man with a dirty face opens his mouth again.
“What are you going to do if we don’t let you go?”
I, too, am scared as I watch from the side, but where on earth does our driver get so crazy?
He calmly caresses his beard and answers.
“Then, work will become a bit more troublesome, right?”
“Are we going to end up just being a nuisance?”
“I didn’t say that.”
The atmosphere around is tense and heated due to the completely provocative conversation. The balloon was so inflated that it felt like it would burst if I touched it incorrectly.
However, there was someone who immediately calmed down this atmosphere.
“Get there. Anyone who sees us will think we are gangsters.”
It was Oh Cheol-ho.
Hmm, but isn’t it true that he is a gangster when seen up close, and a gangster when seen from afar? Honestly, if you go around with Oh Cheol-ho’s family, you won’t be the first to get into trouble. The problem is that it seems like there will be an argument on our side.
“Send it away. “Because our business is done anyway.”
“But, Chairman…”
“Send me away.”
Oh Cheol-ho spoke while gulping down a cute cup of banana milk that did not suit his large body with a tiger tattoo.
“Even if you and I win with a mediocre number, it’s not fun at all. In the end, the results speak for themselves, the results.”
That’s what I’m talking about, right?
‘Oh my, Mom. I was caught between a dragon and a tiger and my back hurt.’
Sincerely.
“Driver, why don’t you go and tell Chairman Han clearly. Your granddaughter can’t rub against my daughter. “My daughter is already holding on tightly to this man.”
Does this sound like something some idiot would say? Until yesterday, you were a bitch, a bitch, a crazy bitch to Ohana… Do you remember how bad you were, swearing at all sorts of things?
‘Oh, there’s no way you remember, right?’
Oh Cheol-ho was that kind of person.
He is the kind of person who forgets most things as soon as he turns his back on them. Should I say that I am a very clumsy person? I heard that people like that live long lives because they don’t get stressed easily.
What was funny was the driver’s reaction.
“I was just going to go anyway. “I think Chairman Oh Cheol-ho doesn’t know anything, so I have to tell him something and leave.”
Why is this place burning again?
‘At this point, I just hang out with these people and Ohana. And aren’t they using me to fuel their competitive spirit to do whatever they want?’
Well, I understand.
Rather than just watching something dull, it’s more fun to have competition. No matter what kind of work you look at, keywords such as competition or rivalry often come up.
The problem is that I’m the one being used in that competition, dammit.
So what does the driver want to say?
“In the case of Master Kim Hyun-woo here, it is said that our Lady Aebom has already taken over his soul.”
“… Yes?”
What’s going on here?
I, who was listening next to me, tilted my head, and Oh Cheol-ho’s expression hardened.
“What is that story about?”
I really want to ask you something?
Driver! You must not freely spread false information! I can really catch up! I had two yesterday… No, I defeated 100 people by myself, but if those bastards use tools or even guns, how am I going to survive?
“I saw Miss Aebom and Master Hyunwoo together several times. Every time, honey drips from his eyes, and when he’s drunk, just looking at Master Hyunwoo leaning his heavy body against our young lady with all his might!”
“…”
“Mentally and physically… ! The two are already inseparable. So, the chairman was uncomfortable with being disturbed for no reason, so he sent me like this.”
Hmm…
I think there is some misunderstanding? It’s true that I like Hanae Bom, but honestly, honey wouldn’t have dripped from my eyes, right? You wouldn’t know if I thought it was difficult.
In the case of Han Ae Bom… Possible, maybe?
And, even when I hear the story about when I was drunk, my face brightens up. It’s true that while she was working on a masterpiece with Han Se-ryong, she ended up falling behind and relying on Han Ae-bom.
“What can’t I do with words? Sir, as I said before, the results will ultimately tell. And, I’ll say it one more time, my daughter will never lose to Chairman Han Se-ryong’s granddaughter. Because no man in the world would reject such a pretty child. Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right, Chairman!”
It couldn’t have been a childish fight. Oh Cheol-ho, who suddenly talks like a fool, is ridiculous.
‘Please only say things like that in front of Ohana.’
Especially people like Oh Cheol-ho.
He acts like a fool behind her back, but he can’t say a kind word in front of his daughter.
“…”
I feel like I want to secretly record it and show it to Ohana, or tell it through my own words.
If that happens, her soft-spoken Oh Hana will immediately go to make fun of Oh Cheol-ho, and I don’t even want to imagine what happens next. As for how to kill me, there are more than 17 ways that immediately come to mind.
“There’s no point in me continuing to say this, as I’m just a driver here. As Chairman Oh Cheol-ho said, the results will speak for themselves. Our baby girl is prettier, more beautiful, more elegant… ! “She is the most attractive woman in the world!”
“Okay. You’ll see. Hehe.”
There is a saying that the most fun thing in the world is the Buddhist monk next door, and these people.
The people involved didn’t even care, but they were so excited, so excited.
‘Do you feel a bit like a broadcaster?’
Those people are like viewers fighting over me. I can once again feel the hardships faced by broadcasters. There were people who said that broadcasters make money easily, but that was nonsense.
“Let’s go, master.”
“It’s fun, it’s fun. “Thanks to my prospective son-in-law, my boring daily life is invigorated.”
When I see Oh Cheol-ho smiling as he watches me follow the driver out, I immediately think of Oh Han-nam. It’s a father-son relationship.
“Hey, prospective son-in-law.”
“… Yes?”
“Let’s come together next time. Sauna.”
Even though I had a terrifying face, I smiled inadvertently.
“Yes, as much as you want.”
After ending my time with Oh Cheol-ho, meeting Han Se-ryong now awaited me. If you look at it this way, don’t I think it’s really great?
After meeting the chairman of Ilha Group, you go straight to meet the chairman of Hanban Group?
It was something that even quite a few domestic representatives could not do.
‘They are both people who want to meet even if they have to pay, but I let them call me on their own. Huh.’
I shook my head, feeling like I had become great for no reason.
Let’s not be confused, let’s not be mistaken, and let’s not be conceited.
Why would other people want to spend time with those two people, even if it means paying for it, using force, or holding on to their pants? They were such great people. It was like that in reality.
‘When such an opportunity comes rolling in my face, I can’t just let it go like a fool.’
Instead of just passing over the little things, I had to learn what I could.
The same was true in the case of Oh Cheol-ho. I learned quite a lot from that gangster-like person. Including the fact that humans are not animals that move with just their heads.
“I’m leaving.”
“Thank you.”
“What?”
Buuuuung, the driver said as he stepped on the accelerator and checked me in the rearview mirror.
“What happened to Hyunwoo? It seems like he grows a lot every time I see him?”
As soon as you get out of Oh Cheol-ho’s sight, you go back to being Hyun-woo. The driver seems to know that he overdid it a bit.
I felt a little embarrassed and scratched my cheek.
“Me?”
“You don’t have to be too humble. I dislike Chairman Oh Cheol-ho, but that’s because I was greatly influenced by Chairman Han Se-ryong. From the perspective of the public, Chairman Oh Cheol-ho is also a great person.”
“Is that so?”
I also learned this time that Chairman Oh Cheol-ho is great, but I didn’t hear how great he was.
“Yes. “In a time when there was almost no law, a person who was the head of a small gangster group in Busan ended up here.”
“Yes? Gangster? “Chairman Oh Cheol-ho was originally a gangster?”
“Haven’t you heard that rumor? “Ilha Group is a group made up of gangsters and gangsters when it was Ilha Construction.”
I blinked.
“Listen… “I think I saw it.”
“It wasn’t even half a rumor. In fact, Oh Cheol-ho led a group of gangsters into the construction industry. In reality, at that time, gangsters were heavily involved in various fields. Even politicians became associated with gangsters as if it were natural.”
What kind of lives did our parents’ generation, and even the generations before them, live?
‘It may be true that people of that era could not afford to suffer from mental illness.’
I swallowed my saliva and asked again.
“But what does it mean to be half-right?”
“Ah, Ilha Construction. So, it is true that the people led by Chairman Oh Cheol-ho are all gangsters, but that does not mean that they even handle their affairs like gangsters.”
“Ah…”
“The times are the same, so to be honest, there aren’t any bad parts. Ilha Construction at that time was amazing. Regardless of domestic or overseas. In particular, we quickly expanded our reach towards Japan, and at the same time, we also crushed those who started factional fights.”
The driver also stuck his tongue out.
“At that time, the way Chairman Oh Cheol-ho worked was so ignorant that even Chairman Han Se-ryong acknowledged it.”
“Which… ?”
“Until the requested building was completed, we invested all our resources without stopping to build it as quickly and accurately as possible.”
“Oh my god…”
Just listening to it is dizzying.
It was like something a primitive person would do. In this day and age, if you do that, you will be immediately reported to the Labor Office.
“It’s not just the case now, but even back then, there was no place that could copy Ilha Construction’s methods. In a way, this was possible because they were all gangsters who had strong faith in Chairman Oh Cheol-ho.”
“…”
“At that time, leaving the organization meant dying or becoming an asshole. Chairman Oh Cheol-ho overcame that and was the one who crawled out into the sun faster than anyone else. There’s a reason his subordinates follow him like crazy. “It’s like Chairman Oh Cheol-ho saved me.”
“…”
“Besides, do you know why that person wanted to leave the organization? He has appeared in newspapers, so quite a few people know him.”
The driver told me in a trembling voice that he was excited for no reason.
“I came out because I didn’t want to see the people who were doing this like girls… It was.”
“Oh my god…”
It was truly Oh Cheol-ho’s answer.
“Being that kind of person, surprisingly, there were quite a few people who looked favorably on me and entrusted me with work. “He is a man who values trust, credibility, and loyalty more than his life.”
The driver chuckles.
“One of the famous anecdotes was when a defect was discovered in a building built by Ilha Construction. Oh, Cheol-ho didn’t make any excuses or say anything. He demolished the defective part with a hammer on the spot and carried out the repair work together without hesitation for a second. He even apologized after that.”
He was a really crazy man. Should I say it is worthy of its name?
“A tiger is a tiger.”
“That’s right.”
The driver chuckled at my words.
“But the dragon is greater than the tiger. “In folk tales and in reality.”
I guess it arrived before I knew it.
As I gazed at the mansion, which was 10 times larger than Oh Cheol-ho’s, I could not deny what the driver said. Just looking at the results, it was right that the dragon defeated the tiger in this era.
“Let’s go in, Lady Aebom will be arriving soon.”
I nodded and got out of the car, thinking.
I will eventually overcome that great purpose, even the tiger.
