Episode 206
The day of the decisive battle.
Prior to lunchtime, when the decision was to be made, Kim Seok-han called Shin Yoo-seong early in the morning.
– Chirp! tweet!
A beautiful front yard full of green grass and blue birds flying and chirping overhead.
However, this place was not nature as it was, but an artificial landscape decorated according to Kim Seok-han’s taste. The blue feathered bluebirds were fed and raised by the employees themselves, and not even a single insect could be found in the dry artificial turf in the front yard, not in the water-soaked blades of grass.
Just keep what you like according to your taste and cut out what you don’t like.
Even if it was trivial, the yard in front of the mansion. In the kingdom of Shinsung Group, there was no place where Kim Seok-han’s breath had not permeated.
“Sorry for calling you this morning.”
Sitting at a table prepared for just one meal according to today’s mood, Kim Seok-han opened his mouth.
“I hope you understand. Because I had no choice but to call before Eun-ah woke up.”
Today’s Kim Seok-han was a little different from what we saw at family meals. Unlike the time when he was anxious about Eun-ah’s behavior, Kim Seok-han now is static and stiff.
“it’s okay. It’s not even early for me.”
“okay? Good luck.”
It is always in front of the granddaughter that the iron blood of the business world melts away. Shin Yoo-seong did not seem to correspond to that.
“Anyway, I had no intention of inviting Eun-ah to such a private place. It’s a lot of trouble.”
It seems to be considerate, but this is a kind of overpowering. Kim Seok-han’s words earlier were an act of drawing a line, saying that this story was a family affair.
Unlike Kim Seok-han and other members of Shinsung Group, Shin Yoo-seong was not Kim Eun-ah’s family. So Kim Seok-han thought Shin Yoo-seong was no different from a bystander.
‘…I’m thankful for Junhyeok’s work. It would be nice if this guy got out of here.’
That’s why I finished thinking that it would be easier to seduce Kim Eun-ah if Shin Yoo-seong’s position was reduced. In the end, I called him early in the morning, even making time for it, but…
“It’s okay. It’s nothing to do with me. It’s none other than Eun-ah’s job.”
Shin Yoo-seong rather calmly responded and sat down in the seat across from him. A tense tension that does not back down from each other. In the midst of it, Kim Seok-han smiled with a firm expression on his lips.
“okay? I know it’s been less than half a year. I see you talking like a very special relationship. It seems you have become very close with our Eun-ah.”
Again, there were bones in Kim Seok-han’s words. Kim Seok-han thought that there was a big difference between himself, who had been acting like a fool for his granddaughter since Kim Eun-ah was born, and Shin Yoo-seong, who had only been in a relationship for half a year at most.
However, Shin Yoo-sung said with a knowing face as if he was laughing at Kim Seok-han.
“Time doesn’t matter. Eunah is a very precious party member to me. And I am not the only one who thinks of Eun-ah that way.”
Kim Seok-han clenched his fists and glared, as if he couldn’t keep his composure any longer at Shin Yoo-seong’s attitude.
“okay? Are you talking about us as a family?”
The moment when the situation can change emotionally at first glance. Shin Yoo-seong calmly grasped Kim Seok-han.
“…I can’t say such words hastily. Because as a family and as a member of Shinsung Group, I know how precious Eunah is.”
And at the appearance of Shin Yoo-seong, Kim Seok-han felt that the atmosphere changed in an instant.
‘This guy… I always thought he was good at eating with a fierce face.’
Shin Yoo-seong was quite talkative than Kim Seok-han thought. However, Kim Seok-han is the chairman of Iron Blood, who has proven himself countless times as an entrepreneur.
“Then it is right for you to lose this story, right? Don’t you already know what I’m asking you?”
Despite Shin Yoo-seong’s momentum, Kim Seok-han rather leisurely tried to lead him at his own pace.
“…maybe. For Eun-ah, you would surely risk your life.”
It’s like taking a step back. Shin Yuseong calmly looked at Kim Seok-han with straight eyes and shook his head more resolutely than ever.
“But I can’t.”
“…why? Didn’t you understand our situation?”
Kim Seok-han asks if he is going to force himself like a child now. Shin Yoo-seong responded with a straight argument to Kim Seok-han’s words.
“It is not something that can be compared. If Eun-ah is in danger, I can risk my life because I am too.”
At Shin Yoo-seong’s words, veins stood out on Kim Seok-han’s forehead.
“…You say that you risk your life so easily, don’t you? Do you, still only a student, know its weight?”
This is evidence that Kim Seok-han is agitated. For Shin Yoo-seong, the fact that Kim Seok-han responded to his words was important.
‘Eun-ah’s grandfather doesn’t like comparing the relationship between party members and family members.’
However, Shin Yoo-seong did not acknowledge Kim Seok-han’s idea. Rather, I thought it exposed a loophole.
“I know. That’s why I was able to understand the situation of Eun-ah’s family. I risk my life because there is nothing scarier than losing a precious comrade.”
Against iron-blooded entrepreneur Kim Seok-han, Shin Yoo-seong was slowly pressing with enough force to not back down and not break.
“…and that. I think everyone is like that. Aren’t you of the same mind as me, President?”
Cock.
Let’s focus on Shin Yoo-seong’s story calmly but intensely. Kim Seok-han, who had been quietly listening to the story, showed his teeth and laughed.
“Khehehe…. When you come to this level, you will have confidence in your eyes. I was wrong this time. Even if you look at people wrong, you look at them wrong for a long time.”
The spirit of not being pushed back against himself, the chairman of Shinsung Group. The sharpness to analyze and puncture opponents. Kim Seok-han, who recognized Shin Yoo-seong as his opponent, flashed his eyes when they met.
“Persuading others is an art. It is also a very sophisticated technology. But at a young age, you are freely using skills you never learned. It’s a wonderful talent. To be honest, it makes me greedy.”
And that skill is the talent of a leader that Kim Seok-han considers most important.
“I understand why Eun-ah follows you.”
Kim Seok-han held out a piece of black paper with white letters engraved on it, along with the highest praise he could spit out.
“This is my business card. A fair price for giving me time today. Contact me if you ever need my help. I will make time for you too.”
Shin Yoo-seong was able to read Kim Seok-han’s mind, which had become a little milder by accepting Kim Seok-han’s business card.
“thank you.”
“No thanks. I am basically a merchant. The favorable appearance you show is also the result of calculations.”
However, seeing Kim Seok-han pretending to be cold and pretending to be a bad person, Shin Yoo-seong felt a strange sense of deja vu.
“And… I’m saying this because Eun-ah seems to follow you a lot. Eun-ah is a blunt child just like me. He may not show off or take good care of him, but a precious person he has decided to be on his side is a child he cherishes until the end.”
When I asked where I felt it, I had already seen Kim Seok-han’s personality and appearance. It’s a pretty close person too.
‘…they look a lot alike.’
“Keuheum… So even if the moment comes when you feel sad. tell me i’m too lazy After all, that’s not what he meant.”
Kim Seok-han cleared his throat, as if he was embarrassed to say such a thing. However, seeing that he, who is called iron-blooded, takes his family very seriously, Shin Yoo-seong strengthens his conviction.
‘… Eunah. The president resembles Eun-ah.’
Shin Yoo-seong nodded with a bright smile as he saw serious Kim Seok-han, saying that there was a resemblance other than the white hair embroidered in a corner of his head.
“yes! You will never have to worry! And contrary to your worries, Eun-ah is very kind and caring towards her co-workers!”
Shin Yoo-seong was smiling happily as the story flowed well, but Kim Seok-han, who was sitting across from him, had an expression that he did not know whether it was cool or uncomfortable.
“Um… Eun-ah is kind and considerate? That doesn’t really come close to being old…”
I don’t want to tackle it, but Kim Seok-han doesn’t have a good relationship with his granddaughter. However, Shin Yoo-seong was rather unfamiliar with Kim Seok-han’s reaction.
“But does Eun-ah subtly take care of her co-workers and meticulously take care of their anniversaries?”
How was Kim Eun-ah’s behavior lately? He always took care of his teammates, especially himself.
“Yes, for example?”
However, when Kim Seok-han asked him to pick one, Shin Yoo-seong thoughtfully pondered his memory and said,
“Well, Eun-ah makes chocolate herself for an anniversary that I didn’t even know about…”
“Eun-ah made chocolate by herself? Didn’t you buy it yourself?”
Looking at Shin Yoo-seong, who just smiled single-single without answering, Kim Seok-han forced a smile and asked again.
“…and?”
“I even taught each and every dance at the ball.”
“Heh heh, is that so?”
Why?
Kim Seok-han instinctively felt a sense of rejection at Shin Yoo-seong’s smiling expression.
‘Will Eun-ah teach me how to dance?’
The sight of her granddaughter and Shin Yoo-seong putting their hands together, which wouldn’t hurt even if you put them in her eyes.
“Sometimes I help Sumire prepare meals.”
‘Sumire? Oh, you’re the party member that secretary Lee Su-hyun said at that time.’
Even Kim Seok-han had heard that there was a female student studying abroad at Shin Yoo-seong’s party. However, as if something was wrong, he asked Shin Yoo-seong with a puzzled expression.
“It must have been a special occasion for a party member to prepare a meal.”
“hmm? Normally, breakfast is every day…”
However, Kim Seok-han made a puzzled expression at Shin Yoo-seong’s answer as if it were natural.
‘Ah, you call the girl yourself every morning and make her eat?’
I didn’t mean to say old-fashioned things about men and women being different, but even so, Kim Seok-han felt strange.
“…Couldn’t Eun-ah call her like that every morning?”
In the end, when Kim Seok-han asked just in case, Shin Yu-seong confidently shook his head and said,
“no. On special days, I usually visit.”
“no! Uh, in Eun-ah’s dormitory?”
When Kim Seok-han, embarrassed, tried to say something, Yoo-seong Shin muttered softly, thinking of Eun-ah Kim who was asleep.
“Because Eun-ah sleeps a lot in the morning.”
A look at a distant place while remembering someone dear to you. A pure smile that can’t be thought of as being selfish.
“Kuhm, that’s right… It’s such a strange thing. Even that Eun-ah resembles me.”
Kim Seok-han, who unknowingly understood, nodded. Shin Yoo-seong struck a chorus.
“Ah, I also thought that the president and Eun-ah looked alike!”
“is it?”
“When Eun-ah is deep in her thoughts, she knocks on the table with her index finger like the president.”
Knock knock.
Shin Yoo-seong imitated Kim Eun-ah and knocked on the table, and Kim Seok-han laughed heartily.
“haha! Right! That’s right! You got it! But I don’t mean to tell you! Looking at it makes me smile without realizing it.”
