193. Cho Nam-sik
after getting out of jail.
Jo Nam-shik did not even think of coming out of his room all day.
Jo Hee-chang also did not think of calling him, assuming that his youngest son would suffer, and the company had told him not to look for Jo Nam-sik for a while.
Jo Nam-sik had been stuck in his room without eating for a while.
Surprisingly, he hadn’t even had a drink in his mouth during that time.
He was thinking hard about something.
Perhaps he is contemplating why he has come to this point.
Where did he go wrong and what made him this way?
thump-
Someone knocked on Jo Nam-shik’s door.
“Jo Nam-sik. come out.”
Hearing his brother’s voice coming from outside the door, Jo Nam-sik frowned.
After all, one of the main culprits who made his life this way was Jo Jung-sik.
“I have something to tell you.”
rattle-
It was clear that Jo Nam-sik would continue to do that outside the door if he did not deal with Jo Jung-sik, so he opened the door and went out and fired at him.
“I have nothing to talk to you about.”
“It won’t be a story that only harms you.”
Jo Nam-shik was dumbfounded and laughed.
What else do you have to lose here?
Jo Jung-sik saw his younger brother laughing at him, but continued talking without hesitation.
“President Ho-Young Yoon wants to see you.”
“under! Hoyoung Yun?”
“okay. I mean, I have something to talk about with you.”
When Cho Nam-sik heard Yun Ho-yeong’s name, his fists clenched without his knowledge.
The older brother in front of him is also his older brother, but it was when Yun Ho-young intervened in his life that his life started to go wrong.
“What the hell do you want to talk about with me?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t even ask.”
Cho Jung-sik’s tone, as if asking why he had to ask such a thing.
Jo Nam-sik thought that his brother had changed tremendously from before.
Jo Jeong-sik was an arrogant and bravado man until a few years ago.
He was an ugly person who solved his sense of inferiority by taking around people who were inferior to him and spending astronomical amounts of money.
But what does Jo Jung-sik look like now?
Just bringing up Yun Ho-young’s story made me feel a subtle sense of trust.
It seemed that Jo Jung-sik was now acting as Yun Ho-young’s subordinate.
Jo Nam-shik’s eyes shone.
“Okay, let’s meet.”
Jo Nam-sik thought he should meet and talk with the person who made his brother change this far.
Of course, it wasn’t that he had never had a conversation with Yun Ho-young before, but at that time Yun Ho-young was in a state of complete concealment.
He thought he should have a real conversation with him, not with Yun Ho-young wearing a mask.

next day.
Jo Nam-sik arrived at Unamjeong Pavilion first and was waiting for Ho-young.
As a large Korean restaurant, Unamjeong is basically the best in taste and quality of food, but the greatest significance was that privacy was thoroughly protected.
It was a huge amount of money, close to one million won per person, but the parties to the meal were Yun Ho-yeong and Cho Nam-sik, and no one regretted the money.
Jo Nam-shik anxiously waited for Yun Ho-yeong.
I looked at my watch and there were still more than 10 minutes left for my appointment.
For some reason, he arrived more than 20 minutes before the hour he was supposed to meet with Hoyoung.
He didn’t even think his current situation was funny.
The world’s Cho Nam-shik is waiting for someone.
drooling-
Then the sliding door opened and a familiar person entered.
“Yun Ho-young… Seed.”
“Five. You’re here early. I’m here to arrive early too.”
Jo Nam-sik couldn’t bear to speak plain words to Yun Ho-young.
‘Is this the same person as the person I met last time?’
Is it because of your situation?
Or is it because Yun Ho-yeong did not hide her position and status and revealed it?
Jo Nam-shik felt that he was a completely different person from Yun Ho-yeong, whom he had seen many times.
“If you bring food separately, the staff will keep coming in and out, so it’s uncomfortable to talk, so may I ask you to lay out all the food first? The food will cool down a bit, but the food here is delicious even when it cools down.”
“Do whatever you feel comfortable with.”
Yun Ho-yeong smiled at Cho Nam-shik and then called the waiter and told him to serve all the food at once.
Before long, the staff rushed to deliver food, and the food was laid on the huge table facing each other so that the upper legs bent.
“ruler. Let’s start with the food.”
“So be it.”
Jo Nam-sik courageously said he would meet Yun Ho-young, but he couldn’t say a word.
Yun Ho-yeong enjoyed the meal that came out.
‘Can you be so comfortable with me in front of you?’
Jo Nam-sik was curious about Yun Ho-young’s inner thoughts.
But you can’t ask just because you’re curious.
He also decided to focus on eating.
Contrary to Jo Nam-sik’s thoughts, Yun Ho-young was not in a comfortable state right now.
Inside of him, many emotions were complicatedly intertwined.
“Do you have any future plans?”
During the meal, Hoyoung spat out words as if it were nothing.
Jo Nam-sik paused for a moment and then continued to eat.
“What do I have to do? I am thinking of going on a trip.”
“Travel is good. Where are you going?”
“America…”
Jo Nam-shik glanced at Ho-young as he answered.
Hoyoung was looking at Jo Namshik with meaningful eyes.
Jo Nam-sik felt as if those eyes were saying, ‘Are you going to go on a trip again and try to find my back?’
“I want to go to Europe.”
“Europe is good.”
Hoyoung nodded.
Then he put the chopsticks he was holding down on the table and said.
“Jo Nam-shik.”
“yes?”
“To be honest. I don’t trust you.”
“…?”
Jo Nam-sik made a puzzled expression at Ho-young’s sudden remark.
“And I don’t think I will ever believe it.”
Jo Nam-sik wrinkled his brow.
No matter how much he said that Hoyeong was holding back his spirit, he had no intention of holding back his anger at insulting her face to face.
Despite seeing Jo Nam-sik’s expression wrinkled, Ho-young continued to speak.
“So I thought. I want to keep an eye on you.”
“her! what kind of nonsense is that? Who are you to spy on me!”
Jo Nam-sik jumped up from his seat and screamed.
Hoyoung looked up at Jo Namshik and smiled.
“If you think carefully about what you have done, I think you will understand what I mean.”
“So what do you want to say now?”
Hoyoung continued to smile.
“When you clear your mind, return to Myeongseong Electronics.”
“…What?”
“There is no need to go to the position of Myungsung Electronics Vice President. You can return to the role of representative of Myeongseong Electronics, which you so desire.”
“under···. haha···.”
Jo Nam-sik was so dumbfounded that he burst into laughter.
I couldn’t even guess what the hell Hoyoung was talking about.
“I have no doubts about your abilities. That’s why I hope you properly nurture Myungsung Electronics. Well, it’s also Chairman Cho’s request.”
“father?”
Hoyoung nodded.
This was a story that Jo Nam-sik had never heard of.
“This year will pass, and next year Chairman Cho will retire. And Jo Jung-sik is expected to rise to the position of chairman of Myungsung Group.”
“under···. Why do I have to hear that from your mouth?”
Hoyoung shrugged.
“You don’t know that I am now the largest shareholder of Myungsung Group, right? My father ‘asked’ me, and I agreed.”
Instead of answering, Jo Nam-shik sighed deeply.
Aside from emotional issues, Gaia Investment, or Yoon Ho-young, was the largest shareholder of Myungsung Group both in name and reality.
There was no way for Cho Nam-sik to refute Yun Ho-young’s words.
“But don’t worry too much. In the future, Myungsung Electronics may operate as an independent company, not as one of the affiliates of Myungsung Group. It means that we will guarantee the autonomy of Mr. Cho Nam-shik.”
Jo Nam-sik raised his eyes and looked at Ho-young.
It is a return to the representative of Myeongseong Electronics, guaranteeing autonomy because of good words.
In fact, he couldn’t have known that he was nothing more than a slave who worked hard to raise Yun Ho-young’s company.
“What if I refuse?”
Jo Nam-shik glared at Ho-young and said.
Hoyoung didn’t even make eye contact with Jo Namshik, and picked up the pumpkin pancake right in front of him and spoke nonchalantly.
“I want you to know that there is no other way to live comfortably in Korea other than this way. ah! Since you said you like to travel, it would be okay to live while traveling for the rest of your life.”
“Are you threatening me?!”
“yes.”
Hoyeong looked at Jo Nam-sik coldly.
Jo Nam-sik thought those eyes were stabbing him.
“under···. haha···. ha ha ha.”
He slumped in his seat with a dejected smile.
In the end, he had no choice.
“I understand that you agree and I will proceed accordingly. I guess I should call you CEO Namsik Cho from now on. Since the CEO is the most important person in Myungsung Electronics, the security company I founded plans to provide 24-hour security at the VVIP level. And to lead Myeongseong Electronics, the more talented people there are, the better, right? I will send people I can trust to the secretary’s office and staff of CEO Nam-shik Cho, so don’t worry too much about that.”
Hoyeong smiled and said, but the content was not laughable at all.
The fact that Ho-young sent bodyguards meant that he would closely monitor him 24 hours a day, and the fact that the secretary and staff were Yun Ho-young’s people was no different from saying that he would even monitor his work.
Jo Nam-sik barely lifted his head, which had been drooping, and looked at Yun Ho-young.
I’d only known Ho-yeong for 30 minutes, but he looked 5 years older.
“Thoughts… Please give me a little time to think.”
Before I knew it, Jo Nam-sik’s tone had returned to respectful words.
.
.

very deep night.
Hoyoung was lost in thought in the dark studio.
Hoyoung’s shadow was cast in the blue light emitted only from the monitor.
Tuk-tuk-
Hoyeong touched the keyboard meaninglessly and continued to think about what had happened during the day.
‘okay. You did well…’
Hoyeong tried to calm herself down.
In his mind, he did not want to leave Jo Nam-shik alone.
I even thought of expelling him overseas so that I would never see him for the rest of my life, or if I had to, return what he had suffered.
But Hoyoung didn’t.
Hoyoung recalled the world of the movie ‘Minority Report’, which will be released several years later.
A world in which crimes are predicted in advance thanks to precognitive powers that can see the future, and criminals are caught and locked up before they commit them.
Of course, in his memory, he is the same Jo Nam-sik, but he decided to think that the world where Ho-yeong was originally and the Jo Nam-sik of this world are definitely different people.
Jo Nam-shik has yet to commit a mortal sin.
So, Ho-young decided to keep an eye on him.
And crucially, Hoyoung thought that he could not be the same person as Jo Namshik.
Cho Nam-sik’s merciless and brutal business management may have made Myungsung Electronics a global company, but it did not create a good reputation as a good company.
A good company recognized by the world.
Hoyoung wanted to walk that path.
Hoyoung groped his chest unconsciously.
Then, he immediately burst out laughing, saying “ha ha”.
It was Ho-young, who quit smoking after returning to 1988 and never smoked.
But today, for some reason, I smoked too much.
Turrrr-
Just then, Hoyoung’s phone rang.
It was Jo Nam-sik.
“hello?”
– I’ll ask you one thing.
Jo Nam-shik spoke up without hesitation.
“What is it?”
– Until when will you… No, do I have to be watched by the president?
“Until I am convinced. Until you feel that you have changed.”
– ha···.
Jo Nam-sik let out a sigh as the ground disappeared.
It seemed that his gloomyness continued to this point.
– Can I ask for one thing too?
“Listen and judge.”
– someday···. If one day Myungsung Electronics becomes the best company that dominates the world, and the chairman convinces me that I have changed… fame e. can you give it to me
At first glance, that sounded absurd.
It’s not something that costs 10,000 won or 20,000 won, and the current market cap is trillions of won.
Asking for a reputation electron that you can’t even guess how much it will be in the future.
However, Hoyoung smiled and answered happily.
“I can’t give you everything, I give you 1/3 of what I have. I give you the right to live the rest.”
– Ha ha ha ha ha!
At Hoyoung’s answer, Jo Namsik burst into laughter.
– okay. i can’t get it I wish you all the best in the future… Chairman.
“Take good care of me. CEO.”
Hoyoung hung up the phone.
Today, he finally cut off the ghost of the past.
