165. broken heart
Lee Joo-yeon laughed at Ho-yeong’s story.
Hoyoung thought her reaction was unexpected.
“First of all, it’s a condition that doesn’t put too much strain on our newsletter computer.”
“okay?”
“I once said something in passing, but you didn’t listen.”
Hoyoung made a puzzled expression.
I had no idea what she was talking about.
“Sabo Computer is already supplying most of its supply to Chronos. If consumers do not choose an operating system separately, products are sold with Kronos installed as standard. So currently Windows accounts for less than 15%.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“yes. It was the result of barely persuading my father, who said that we still have to sell mainly DOS and Windows.”
She looked at Hoyoung with a deep smile.
It was as if he wanted a compliment.
“You did well.”
“Right?”
“As a result of supplying mainly to Kronos, has there been any change in sales?”
“Unfortunately, there has been no major change.”
Her expression darkened slightly.
I thought it would have been better if I had been able to deliver the news that sales had soared thanks to Chronos.
“If it didn’t change, you mean it didn’t increase significantly, but it didn’t decrease either?”
“Right.”
Lee Joo-hyun looked sideways at Ho-young.
However, contrary to her expectations, Hoyoung’s face was genuinely satisfied.
“That’s enough. thanks for the good info I will contact Savo Computer this afternoon and send you the license and original files for the programs I mentioned earlier.”
“thanks. Can I get more recognition from my father? And wait.”
Lee Joo-yeon took out a diary from her bag and said while checking the date.
“The next PC manufacturer representative meeting is scheduled for two weeks. It’s a meeting that meets once a month.”
“okay? Great. Will you help me to be with you then?”
“Sure. But there is one more condition.”
“Conditions?”
Lee Joo-yeon, unlike a moment ago, had sharp eyes.
‘Maybe it’s because she’s the daughter of a businessman, but she also shows considerable talent as a businesswoman.’
Hoyoung looked at her again inwardly.
I thought I was just going to work as a father, but I felt that the manager position was not something I just got.
“To be honest, there is no reason for me to connect you with another company, right? If this benefit obtained by Sabo Computer is equal to that of other companies, after all, we have no way to compete among the stubborn companies.”
“haha. So you’re suggesting a better condition. If so, did you not think that I would approach the representatives of other companies separately?”
“Of course I did. So I didn’t mean to ask for too much.”
Ho-young laughed when she saw her talking as if it were obvious enough to look shameless.
“So, what do you want?”
“I heard that Chronos 3 is nearing completion.”
“you’re right.”
“I heard that this time around the world will also be heavily advertised, is that correct?”
“That’s right too. I wonder where you heard it.”
Lee Joo-yeon laughed bashfully.
“I’m sorry. It’s a trade secret.”
“haha. Is that so?”
“yes. In any case, when advertising, you should definitely show the computer coming out together. Please use our computer then.”
Hoyoung knew what she wanted.
Currently, each PC manufacturer makes and sells a computer with a PC case with its own unique design.
In the future, the personal pc market will grow even bigger, and companies specializing in manufacturing PC cases will appear.
And consumers get used to assembled computers and choose the case they want.
However, at present, there is no company that specializes only in cases.
Because of that, at this point, the PC case was no different from showing the identity of each company.
Lee Joo-yeon set this condition because if Sabo Computer appeared in the CF of Chronos 3, it would be like advertising all over the world without spending a single penny.
“Unfortunately, the conditions may be difficult.”
“Is that so too?”
“yes. Our official partner is Dell Computer. So, I will expose Dell computers to CF first.”
For a moment, disappointment passed in Lee Joo-yeon’s eyes.
“However, if not all PCs, some, if not all, can be fully showcased.”
“okay?”
A blush appeared on Lee Joo-yeon’s face.
Hoyoung thought she had so many expressions.
“I didn’t mean to ask all PCs to be ours from the beginning. A portion is enough.”
“yes. I’ll talk to Dell Computer about that much.”
Lee Joo-yeon smiled.
“Then, haven’t we finished talking about today?”
“Yes. Is there anything else you would like to say?”
“no. I was going to ask her to go eat now. Should I buy you something tasty?”
“Sure. He listens to my request, and that’s quite natural. Is sushi okay?”
“Sushi? I can’t eat without it.”
Hoyeong stood up from her seat and said while adjusting her clothes.
“I’m glad you like it. There is a sushi restaurant I went to near here a few days ago, and it was pretty good. You will probably like it.”
“It is a verified place.”
“yes. My girlfriend, who went with me, really liked it.”
char-
At that moment, Lee Joo-yeon lost the handbag she was trying to pack, and all the contents spilled out.
“Are you okay?”
“Oh, sorry. My hands are out of strength.”
“You should have been careful.”
Hoyoung squatted down in front of Lee Juyeon and picked up the spilled luggage.
Lee Joo-yeon was just staring at the back of Ho-yeong’s head in dismay.
“Lee Joo-yeon… Lee Joo-yeon?”
“Yes Yes!”
She fainted for a moment, but came to her senses only after Hoyeong called her twice.
“it’s okay?”
“ah···. it’s okay.”
“You were surprised. Now, quickly grab this and go out together. Reservation time is running out.”
As if not knowing anything, Hoyeong urged Lee Jooyeon to leave quickly, and Lee Jooyeon let out a very small sigh and said.
“Hey, Mr. Hoyoung?”
“yes?”
“I’m really sorry, but I have to eat dinner later. Suddenly, I feel really bad today.”
“okay. I can’t help it. If your hands are getting tired, you should go in and rest.”
“I’m sorry. We will be in touch as soon as we have an appointment with the PC makers.”
“thank you. As I said earlier, I will send the materials and original files to the company within today.”
“yes···. I will wake up first.”
“Please go in carefully.”
Lee Joo-yeon answered helplessly and stood up.
Even after she had completely left the store, Hoyoung did not get up from her seat.
And as the time passed when Lee Joo-yeon was judged to have completely left the store, Ho-yeong thought while scratching the back of her head.
‘Was I too harsh?’
However, Hoyoung immediately shook his head.
‘Yes, this is me instead. It’s better to be clear than to act vaguely and manage the fishery.’
Since nothing like this had ever happened in his life, Hoyoung felt that he had done something wrong.
However, it was something that should have been pointed out at least once.
Ho-young thought that Lee Joo-yeon was smart and had a strong personality, so she would overcome it soon.
“Chief?”
“Yep.”
Miru, who was drinking coffee alone at the table across from Hoyeong, answered and stood up.
“I made a reservation at the sushi restaurant anyway, so can we both go in for lunch?”
“That’s good.”
“okay. Shall we go then? Do you know where it is?”
“yes. I will take you there.”
Hoyeong said softly to Miru.
“Chief. Did I do well?”
Miru was one of the few people who knew everything about Hoyoung’s current situation.
Of course, he also knew that today, Hoyoung would subtly inform Lee Juyeon of his girlfriend’s existence.
I didn’t expect Lee Joo-yeon’s reaction to be so intense.
“yes. You did a great job. It can be difficult, but you really worked hard.”
“I wonder if this is a pointless woman driving a nail into her chest.”
“haha. That sounds like something the president is boasting about, did I hear it wrong?”
“yes. You really misunderstood this time.”
Miru giggled a few times at Hoyeong’s answer and said,
“If you hadn’t made it clear, it would have hurt you more in the future. Good job.”
When Miru said this, Hoyeong finally nodded.
“Thank you. Then let’s go get something to eat.”
“yes. I am very hungry too.”
“haha. Go and eat your fill.”
And Hoyeong went out to the coffee shop with Miru.
The sushi restaurant was close by, so the two decided to park the car and walk.
“President.”
“yes?”
As they passed Gangnam Station together, Miru asked Hoyeong.
“May I ask what your schedule is after lunch today?”
“I don’t have any schedule.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll have to go back to work. All right.”
Hoyoung smiled and said.
“Would you like to leave me here today and go in alone?”
“yes?”
“I have an appointment around five in the afternoon.”
“What a promise… ah!”
Miru seemed to realize something, then looked at Hoyeong with a grin.
“I hope you like it.”
“sure. It’s good. By the way, the manager should meet someone too.”
“Me? ha ha ha. I am fine.”
Miru waved her hand and said.
It’s because Hoyeong didn’t care at all, and Miru was also the owner of a very attractive appearance.
He was about 183cm tall, about 5cm taller than Hoyoung, and although he didn’t have an actor-like face like Hoyeong, he was Honam with big eyes without double eyelids.
“Come to think of it, do you really think it’s okay? Manager, what are you doing tonight?”
“Me? Nothing special, but…”
“Good for you. Sumin-san has a sister who gets along really well, and she said she would come out with me today.”
Miru’s eyebrows rose slightly.
“No way, Mr. Heejin Kim?”
“Oh, you know?”
Miru shook her head.
“sure. We met before at CEO Lee Jin-chan’s wedding.”
“You remember. He is right.”
“I’m sorry. He’s kind of…”
“why?”
Miru made a troubled expression.
“I just don’t fit in with that type of woman.”
“What type of person is Heejin Kim?”
“That’s a bit strong…”
Hoyoung’s eyes widened for a moment, then burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, are you Heejin Kim?”
“yes. You made a strong impression on me that day.”
Hoyeong giggled and took out her cell phone and called Sumin Ha.
“hello? Mr Sumin. It’s me. Can I answer the phone?”
– yes. It’s okay because I’m waiting for the shoot right now.
“When we meet later in the evening, will Kim Hee-jin, whom we met last time, come with us?”
– Maybe? why?
Hoyeong smiled and said while looking at Miru.
“Then, may my chief secretary come with me tonight?”
– ah! him sure. It’s more fun when the four of us play together.
Miru was shaking her head, but Hoyeong didn’t care.
“okay. See you later. Come carefully.”
-yes···. See you later.
After hanging up the phone, Hoyeong looked at Miru and smiled.
Miru let out a deep sigh and nodded her head as if resigned to his eyes.
