151. What Happened at the Wedding (1)
The day when a moment’s judgment made $2 billion in cash.
To be exact, he made a profit of 1.6 billion dollars, but today was a better day than that.

“I may have been waiting for a day like today more than anyone else. When the handsome and dignified groom enters, please greet everyone with a big round of applause. Enter the groom!”
Following Hoyoung’s comment, Lee Jinchan, dressed in a suit, strode in from the entrance of the wedding hall.
‘Senior Jin-chan. It’s pretty cool today.’
Wearing a tuxedo, Lee Jin-chan looked happier than anyone else.
Hoyoung looked alternately at Lee Jin-chan and once at the original H&H members sitting in the front of the groom’s side.
There is still a long way to go, but it is true that Hoyoung has achieved success faster than anyone else.
And without them, obviously, the timing of success would have been very late, and the breadth of growth would have been very small.
“Now, all guests, please pay attention to the back entrance. And the priest will come in. When the beautifully radiant bride enters, all the guests give a warm round of applause! Entrance of the bride!”
At Ho-young’s words, the entrance to the wedding suddenly opens.
Kim Mi-ae came in wearing a white wedding dress.
And Kim Mi-ae held her father’s hand in time with the music and slowly, slowly, started walking towards Lee Jin-chan.
Hoyeong almost burst into laughter when she saw Lee Jinchan, who couldn’t take her eyes off Kim Miae.
That expression, as if possessed by something.
‘envy.’
Ho-yeong thought to herself and was startled.
It was Hoyeong, who had never thought about women until now.
It is not that there were no women who pursued him because of his outstanding appearance and ability, but he had no interest in marrying a woman in both his previous and present lives.
“Now there will be a holy marriage declaration proclaiming today’s sacred marriage ceremony.”
But seeing the marriage of the person closest to him right in front of his eyes, Ho-yeong felt something stir in his heart.
he was a loner
Especially in the past life.
It was only in this life that I had friends, seniors who were like brothers, and Miru who was like family. His relationship with his family, which he hadn’t taken care of in his previous life, was also very good.
However, there was still an emptiness that seemed not to be filled.
“Continued, there will be an officiating speech to tell the bride and groom precious words. Dr. Gong Byeong-ju, director of the Korean Cultural Center, will officiate.”
Jinchan Lee produced and distributed the word processor Hangeul, and had a good relationship with Dr. Byungju Gong, so Dr. Byungju Gong readily officiated Jinchan Lee and Miae Kim.
“I would like to give a big round of applause once again to the officiating teacher for hearing the valuable words. Next, there will be congratulations. The congratulatory song will be given by the bride’s close brother. A big round of applause for Sumin Ha, who will be singing the congratulatory song!”
Congratulatory song and greetings to both parents.
And with the end of the long-awaited march, the wedding ended safely.
‘phew. I’m really more nervous than ECEC.’
Hoyoung sighed inwardly.
I’ve never thought about a stage where I was this nervous in my life, but I thought there was never.
Perhaps it was the position responsible for the starting point of a new life for two people, so I felt that way even more.
And taking pictures right next to Lee Jin-chan, the whole ceremony was finished.
Looking at Lee Jin-chan, who was smiling all day while taking pictures, and Kim Mi-ae, who was constantly taking tears, Ho-yeong thought that he was good at hosting.
I was sitting in a chair for a while to catch my breath, and Kim Jin-taek, who took a picture with me in the front row, approached Ho-young and said with a smile on his lips.
“Ho Young-ah. It was really hard. Are you really good at it too? Even when I get married later, you have to look after me.”
“Don’t talk. Are your hands sweaty? I am going to decline now.”
Hoyoung opened his palm and showed it to Jintaek Kim, who smiled.
“Originally, the first time is difficult, but the second time is easy, isn’t it? Anyway, I had a hard time.”
“thanks.”
“First, let’s go eat. Are you attending the after party?”
“Are you back? sure. I have to go.”
“No matter how busy you are, you never miss a drink.”
“senior. Even having a drink like this makes me so busy.”
“You’ll be fine. Anyway, let’s go get a bowl of noodles and move to the banquet hall.”
“I see.”
Hoyoung and Kim Jintaek headed to the restaurant.
However, Hoyoung did not notice at all that there were eyes watching him from a while ago.
.
“sister. Do you know who he is?”
“who?”
Kim Mi-ae’s close sister Ha Su-min, who sang a congratulatory song today, asked another actress, Kim Hee-jin, who was sitting next to her.
“excuse me. There is a man who attended today’s society, right?”
“I don’t know either? They say he is a very close junior of his brother-in-law. They probably do business together.”
“okay?”
Kim Hee-jin looked at Ha Soo-min with mischievous eyes.
“why. Are you interested?”
“no! Not like that!”
Kim Hee-jin smiled and said, as if Su-min Ha, waving his hand, was cute.
“Well, he was very handsome. Did I think we were late actors? Is not it?”
“I guess so. I thought I was in the entertainment industry too.”
“Look. You are interested.”
“Ah, sister!”
Ha Su-min was furious, and Kim Hee-jin laughed.
“Because they say that Miae and I know each other well. I’ll ask unnie to make a seat for us at the after party later.”
Kim Hee-jin couldn’t help but laugh once more as he saw Su-min Ha, who didn’t answer.
.
“Be happy!”
“No matter how you look at it, aren’t you feeling too sorry for your sister-in-law?”
“Congratulations.”
After a while.
Juniors approached Lee Jin-chan, who took off his tuxedo and changed into a suit at the banquet hall, and exchanged words one by one.
“Guys. Thank you so much for coming today. Tomorrow is Sunday anyway, so drink as much as you want and go. If there is something lacking in alcohol or food, order and eat as much as you like.”
“good!”
“Should you be a little nervous, senior? ha ha ha!”
“Oops, I’ll correct it again. do it in moderation in moderation.”
Lee Jin-chan, who had a good laugh with the H&H members, went to greet the other guests, and everyone, including Ho-yeong and Jin-taek, decided to enjoy the party.
And the reception that followed was typical of wedding receptions in the 90s.
An alcoholic party where friends of the groom and friends of the bride come together to pour and drink while exciting music reverberates.
In the middle of the hotel banquet hall, there was even a space where you could dance like a night.
The seniors were whispering among themselves, and then, as if they wanted to dance, they jumped up and headed to the stage.
“Ho Young-ah. Aren’t you going out?”
“yes. I’m OK.”
“why? let’s go out together Jin-chan sunbaenim made it this far, but I still have to shake my body once.”
“uh···. Because I’m really fine Have a good trip with your seniors.”
Due to Ho-young’s extreme wife, the seniors had no choice but to leave Ho-yeong and go to the stage.
Hoyoung let out a sigh of relief.
He knew full well that he was a terrible physique.
Because of that, dancing was unimaginable.
“I almost felt embarrassed.”
Instead, Hoyoung sipped his drink and watched the seniors who went out to dance.
The seniors were dancing and playing without being too awkward, as if they had the experience of going to nights often.
“Hey, is that Mr. Yun Ho-young?”
While drinking alone, someone approached Hoyoung and started talking to him.
“yes. I am Yun Ho-young. What are you doing?”
When Ho-young turned around, he was able to spot a woman with outstanding beauty.
The upturned hair and black dress gave off an elegant feeling, but the gorgeous earrings made the point.
“Ah, what’s wrong? I came to say hello.”
“Hello?”
Hoyoung asked with a sour expression.
Because I didn’t know what she was approaching.
However, the woman didn’t care about Hoyoung’s reaction and sat down in the seat across from Hoyeong with a big smile.
“You won’t be so vigilant. I came because I really wanted to say hello. My name is Lee Joo-yeon. I’ve heard about it several times, but this is the first time I’ve seen it in person. Nice to meet you.”
“Did you hear a lot about me?”
“yes. Have you ever heard of me from CEO Jinchan Lee? I’ve told you several times to make a seat for you.”
Hoyeong tried to roll her head, but couldn’t remember who it was.
Not only had Lee Jin-chan never offered to introduce him to a woman, but the name Lee Ju-yeon was completely new to her.
“I’m sorry, but I haven’t heard anything from Jin-chan.”
“okay? I said it was clearly communicated… Well then, you can find out from now on.”
Lee Joo-yeon smiled briskly and continued speaking with a confident attitude.
“Shall I properly introduce myself? As I said earlier, I am Lee Joo-yeon. I am currently the head of the quality department at Sabo Computer.”
“Are you the head of Sabo’s computer department?”
“yes.”
Ho-young, who had always shown a cold attitude, showed interest in her for the first time.
At first glance, Lee Joo-yeon did not look that old.
In the mid-20s, you have to catch a lot of it, it’s about the latter half.
In the early 1990s, it was very unusual for a woman in her 20s to be a manager.
“Ah, um… I don’t know how that sounds, but my father is Lee Yong-tae, chairman of Sabo Computer.”
“ah···. ah!”
Hoyoung suddenly remembered something.
“Are you the youngest daughter of Sabo Computer?”
“Right.”
The day before, when Lee Jin-chan had a meeting with Sabo Computer about the delivery of Hangeul 5.0 and Chronos, he remembered hearing that the youngest daughter of the president of Sabo Computer wanted to meet Ho-young.
“Ah, I remembered now. I thought you were joking.”
“It wasn’t a joke. It was the first time I saw you presenting at ECEC, and I thought that I would like to meet you someday, but finally I met you like this.”
Lee Joo-yeon said as if she were an old fan.
Hoyoung found her a little annoying.
So I thought about how to respond, and decided to just respond positively.
Because today was a good day.
“okay. Nice to meet you. Are you drinking?”
“yes. A drink, please.”
Lee Joo-hyun received the beer Ho-young poured out and passed it on at once.
“I’ll pour you a drink too.”
Hoyoung and Lee Juyeon exchanged drinks and talked a few times.
‘Does the conversation work better than I thought?’
It was a brief conversation, but Ho-yeong’s impression of Lee Ju-yeon was getting better than the first.
Lee Joo-yeon’s position as quality manager at company newsletter computer was a department that checked the defect rate and presence of defects in shipped PCs.
Besides, she was also interested in software.
It was she who actively persuaded her father, Chairman Lee, to load Sabo Computer with Kronos instead of DOS.
Is it because of the alcohol, or is it because it is in a good mood?
Hoyoung was able to have a very enjoyable conversation with Lee Juyeon.
To the point where they even exchanged phone numbers with each other.
“Ho Young-ah. You say you’re alone here? uh? Mr. Juyeon?”
“Hello Jin-chan?”
Lee Jin-chan approached Ho-yeong and Lee Ju-yeon, who were in the middle of a conversation.
He must have heard that Hoyoung was alone at the table near the stage.
“I thought Chairman Lee would come, but Juyeon did. For some reason, the president didn’t seem to see it. ha ha ha. Thank you so much for coming.”
“no. Congratulations on your marriage.”
And immediately Kim Mi-ae appeared.
Hoyoung greeted Kim Miae warmly.
“Brother. Really congratulations. You look so beautiful today.”
“Is your title changed to sister-in-law right after the wedding?”
“sure. Absolutely.”
“It is good to hear from you, brother-in-law. You said you were alone, so I brought my close siblings, but you’re not alone?”
At Kim Mi-ae’s words, Ho-young peeked behind her and saw two women standing there.
One of them sat down at the table where Hoyoung was sitting and greeted him as if he had waited.
“hello. My name is Heejin Kim. Is it okay if I sit here? Everyone goes out to dance, but we’re not really interested in dancing. This is Ha Soo-min. Do you know who we are?”
“Well···. I think this person is the one who sang the congratulatory song, but I’m sorry about that person, but I’m not sure. Where have we ever met?”
Heejin Kim’s eyes widened at Hoyoung’s reaction.
I even laughed out loud.
“He is such a fun person. Anyway, can we sit here and play for a bit?”
Kim Hee-jin said while looking at Lee Joo-yeon, not Ho-yeong, and Lee Joo-yeon nodded in a daze.
“Sumin-ah. Come to work and sit down.”
“yes. sister.”
Even Kim Hee-jin and Ha Su-min sat down at the table, and when Ho-yeong looked at Lee Jin-chan with an absurd expression, Lee Jin-chan hurriedly said to Ho-young.
“Hoyeong-ah, let’s say hello over there for a while. wait and see.”
“Now, wait a minute…”
However, Lee Jin-chan pretended not to hear Ho-young’s answer and left, leaving only Ho-young and three women awkwardly sitting at the table where Ho-young was.
‘What the hell is going on?’
Hoyoung suddenly felt like she had a headache.
