183. unexpected reunion
Hoyoung’s mind was complicated.
“ah···. no way?”
Hoyoung remembered something again.
“Gaia. Can we know when the fight between Jo Jung-sik and Jo Nam-sik in the previous life will end?”
“Your question is too abstract.”
“So···. So, can you confirm when Jo Jung-sik will completely leave the business world?”
A voice came out of Heo Young’s watch after a very short time had passed.
“The exact date is unknown, but the last time I left for the United States was at the end of November 1995, so I can’t find any records.”
Hoyeong felt as if she had been hit in the head with something.
The gap between the two incidents was really coincidental.
“Why haven’t I been able to relate the two events until now? Will there be a separate will from Chairman Cho Hee-chang?”
“yes. That’s right.”
“What about the will?”
“It was about leaving all of his legacy and business related matters to Jo Nam-shik.”
“Also.”
Hoyoung thought that all the cases fit together.
“One last thing. Has Myeongseong Medical Center computerized all data? Do you run an internet server?”
“yes. All patient records of Myeongseong Medical Center are already documented in the database.”
“great. Eros. Can I go in?”
“of course.”
Hoyoung nodded.
There was no place that Eros and Gaia couldn’t penetrate in all existing Internet-connected sites and servers.
“Look for Chairman Cho Hee-chang’s medical records there. He collapsed a few months ago and went to Myeongseong Medical Center, so he must be there. Among them, in particular, whether there is a medical record for diabetes.”
“There is no record of diabetes.”
“So it is.”
Hoyoung thought his guess was correct.
And in an instant, I felt goose bumps.
“Cho Nam-sik…. Did you covet the chairperson position so much?”
Hoyoung let out a growl.
Of course, I can’t say for sure yet.
Because no conclusive evidence has emerged.
However, several circumstances suggest this.
Nam-shik Jo killed his father, kicked out his brother, and ascended the throne!
thump thump-
“President. Are you okay? What are you doing?”
“ah···.”
Miru knocked on the studio door and called Hoyeong.
Hoyoung finally realized that he had run out after drinking with Miru.
After telling Gaia and Eros that he would come later, he opened the studio door and left.
“Sorry. I just remembered something I need to check urgently.”
“How urgent are you? It’s the first time I’ve seen the president’s expression like that.”
“I don’t know what kind of expression I was making. haha.”
Hoyoung naturally went over to Miru’s house.
‘Even if that’s true anyway, there’s nothing I can do right now.’
Hoyoung sat down on the remaining drinking table and thought.
‘But there is plenty of time left. There must be plenty of ways to prepare.’
“Are you very surprised?”
“yes. To be honest, I was a little surprised.”
“Sorry. I’m OK. Nothing happened.” “No. Whenever the president shows such a hasty look, he is always surprised that something big has happened.”
“what. Was that what you were talking about?”
Miru looked at Hoyoung blankly and said.
“Then what else is there?”
Miru replied with a humorous expression, and Hoyeong realized that Miru was playing a joke.
“haha. Big things are big things. Well, not right now, so don’t worry too much. Shall we have a drink?”
“good. I look forward to what the president himself says is a big deal.”
Hoyoung and Miru drank for a long time after that.
Hoyeong almost felt uncomfortable all day today, but thanks to Miru, she was able to shake it off to some extent.
Jo Nam-sik.
He is someone who could harm even his father enough for what he wants.
According to Hoyoung’s guess, in his previous life, he killed his father and kicked his brother out of the country.
He may have threatened to spare his life if he went abroad.
‘I really don’t know what would have happened to Jo Jung-sik who went abroad.’
Even as Hoyoung said that, he thought that there was a high possibility that he was killed by Jo Namshik.
He was the one who so boldly killed the chairman of Myeongseong Electronics in Korea, much less his older brother in the distant United States.
Hoyoung made up her mind.
To be honest, Hoyeong may have been ignoring Jo Nam-shik in her current life without even realizing it.
In his previous life, he realized that Nam-shik Jo was a cruel person, but in this life, Nam-shik Jo always lost to Ho-young, so Ho-young also implicitly took victory for granted.
So, this incident served as an opportunity to remind Ho-yeong about Jo Nam-shik once again.
.

.
Even after Ho-yeong met Jo Hee-chang, time flowed helplessly, passing the hot summer and entering autumn when the leaves fell.
In the meantime, Hoyeong helped Jo Jung-sik and actively helped sell air conditioners.
It was a time when air conditioners were not yet popular in Korea, so when we developed and started supplying low-cost air conditioners, air conditioners literally sold like hot cakes.
In the meantime, Hoyeong has been keeping an eye on Namsik Jo, but unfortunately, no sign of anything like this has been found.
Eros had been told in the Myeongseong Medical Center medical records to tell him immediately if Jo Hee-chang was diagnosed with diabetes.
And Hoyoung was in H&H’s conference room today.
“There will be a report on H&H’s sales performance for the first half in a while. Guests, please keep your seats.”
Hoyeong sat in the seat of honor right next to Lee Jinchan and looked around.
“senior? How many people attended this meeting?”
“then. You don’t care how big our company grows, do you?”
“haha. There is always a lot of interest. I didn’t know it would be like this, so I was just a little surprised.”
Hoyoung felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
Today’s sales performance report meeting was a meeting where only managers and above were gathered.
Surprisingly, people were sitting tightly in this conference room that could comfortably seat 50 people.
It has been six years since Hoyoung started the business with his seniors.
In the meantime, their company has achieved unprecedented explosive growth.
The company, which started with just six people, now has over 1,000 employees.
Hoyoung looked at people’s faces with a new heart.
To be honest, most of them were unfamiliar faces.
As I was examining each and every face of the new people, the moderator stepped forward and began to speak as if the meeting had already started.
“You waited a long time. Let’s start with the first half sales performance report. Today’s announcement will be made by Assistant Manager Jinhwan Jeong of the Sales Marketing Team.”
When Hoyoung heard his name, he jumped up from his seat.
“Jung Jin-hwan…?”
Hoyoung was surprised.
Because Jeong Jin-hwan was the name of his best friend in his previous life.
“Hey. Come on.”
Lee Jin-chan, who was sitting next to him, was startled and called out to Ho-yeong, but Ho-young stood still as if he hadn’t heard.
The presenter was a little puzzled, but thought nothing of it and opened the front door.
thump
The front door of the meeting room opened and a man in a suit entered.
Then he bowed his head and greeted him with a confident voice.
“hello. I am Assistant Manager Jeong Jin-hwan of the Sales Marketing Team, who was in charge of today’s performance report. Take good care of me.”
Many people sitting in front nodded their heads as if they liked Jeong Jin-hwan’s voice and attitude.
“…!”
However, Hoyeong was so surprised that she couldn’t say anything, and just stared blankly at Jung Jinhwan.
“haha···. Did you get anything on my face?”
Jeong Jin-hwan gently touched his chin.
“Hoyeong-ah, what are you doing?”
“ah···!”
Hoyeong finally realized that everyone in the conference room was looking at her, and hurriedly sat down.
Then people started reporting their performance as if nothing had happened.
“I will tell you the happiest news first. Finally, our Cronos has surpassed Windows’ market share in the North American market.”
At that moment, there was a shout of “Wow” in the meeting room.
Some even held hands and shared the joy.
“The main vendors were probably state government agencies and banking institutions. As Hermes Telecom’s ADSL, which is no different from our brother company, began to be installed across the United States, institutions and banks naturally began to build computer networks, and it was most appropriate to use our optimized operating system.”
People always nodded.
They were the ones who really narrowly missed out on Microsoft last quarter.
I wondered if I could do it this time, but I finally managed to do it.
“Consumers are also seeing huge sales. The promotion that was able to appeal the most to ordinary consumers in the last half-year sales was a promotion that allows you to purchase Sega’s Sonic 3 at half price when you purchase our Cronos.”
As can be seen from Jinhwan Jeong’s explanation, Sega hit the jackpot with Sonic 1, but faltered slightly with Sonic 2.
However, it was a momentary pause to advance two steps, and Sonic 3 was an unprecedented hit and was generating tremendous sales.
“The detailed sales and market share status are as follows.”
Jeong Jin-hwan continued his presentation.
A series of complex numbers and graphs.
However, Hoyoung did not notice any such announcement.
From some point on, he was just staring at his desk with his head down.
“Ho Young-ah. Finally we beat Microsoft. It’s exactly what you said!”
Lee Jin-chan said, patting Ho-yeong on the back, perhaps because he was overjoyed.
However, Hoyoung did not react much even when he hit him.
“hey. What is it? What is it, are you crying?”
“no.”
“No what! i’m crying right now Are you keeping your head down because you don’t want to be seen crying?”
Lee Jin-chan tried to lift Ho-young’s face, but Ho-young desperately lowered his head to avoid showing his tears.
“Ah, really, why are you crying? But why is this like this? Because you cry, I want to cry too. Stop crying, you son of a bitch.”
“What is it, senior, why are you crying all of a sudden?”
“I don’t know. I don’t even know why.”
Is it because I suddenly remembered the eventful events and hardships that had happened in the meantime?
Perhaps moved by the fact that he had achieved his dream-like goal, Lee Jin-chan was busy drawing tears.
When Hoyoung saw him, he stopped laughing.
The reason he cried wasn’t because he barely caught Microsoft.
His only friend from his previous life.
Emotions fluctuated because he met Jeong Jin-hwan, a friend he had been with all his life and trusted in everything.
‘I didn’t even go to see you at all because I was afraid that I would intervene in your fate and harm you again.’
However, ironic fate made Hoyoung and Jung Jinhwan meet in a new form.
‘I might have one more friend to introduce to Mr. Sumin. By the way, Jinhwan was very interested in marketing in his previous life, but people don’t change here either.’
Hoyoung started to laugh.
Lee Jin-chan also saw him laughing and stopped laughing.
“Oh, old man. If you laugh while crying…”
“Are you the same?”
“Right? Yes.”
The two had different reasons, but ended up laughing together.
Some of the employees around them looked at them with eyes wondering why the executives were doing that, but the two didn’t care.
