“Sister! I am here.”
In front of the director’s office at Angel Orphanage.
Hyeonjun knocked and went straight inside.
At this time, Sister Veronica was holding the hand of a seven-year-old girl and talking about something.
Her eyes were widening on their own, and she immediately stood up as she looked at Hyeon-jun.
On the other hand, a nursery school child.
The girl looked at Hyeon-joon who suddenly appeared with curious eyes, then sniffed her nose and wiped away the tears with her sleeve.
The tears welling up in the child’s eyes a little while ago had disappeared, but the eyes under the child’s eyes were still swollen.
“Sister. Were you in counseling? I’ll come back in a little while.”
“not. Noah.”
In the meantime, Sister Veronica came to Hyeon-jun’s side. When Hyeon-jun bowed his head right away, he was holding it tightly with Hyeon-jun’s hand before he knew it. Then, Sister Veronica looked at Hyeon-jun quietly. Hyunjoon smiled and looked at her.
“I heard the news.”
“Sister, I apologize for not contacting you earlier.”
“No. How much trouble must you have had in the past? Now, let’s sit down.”
She didn’t let go of Hyunjoon’s hand and took him to the sofa. Hyeonjun sat down right next to the girl.
And only then did Hyeon-joon look at the girl again, and soon opened his mouth with a smile.
“My name is Heo Ji-yoon. Isn’t that Jiyoon?”
Then, the child nodded without saying a word.
“Why are you crying so much? Are you upset?”
The girl has no words.
“Jiyun-ah, I bought a present for you. Do you want to go see it later?”
Then, the child turns his head and looks at Hyeon-jun.
It looks like the child’s eyes are getting bigger.
Curiosity and interest were immediately expressed at the word gift.
“Jiyun-ah, I heard the story from the teacher. You said you wanted a pretty Elsa dress and shoes? Is not it?”
“······yes.”
At this time, the answer came very faintly.
Still, the girl was responding.
Also, his eyes were slightly bloodshot, but he kept staring at Hyeonjun with his black pupils shining.
A movie that has been out for quite some time, [Frozen]. However, the popularity of this [Frozen] was still great for children. Especially for girls who like pretty dresses.
However, the problem is that the child is in an orphanage, so the orphanage cannot provide anything in abundance.
It is not possible to satisfy all children’s wishes.
And in the meantime, children learn for themselves what they can receive and what they cannot receive.
You become mentally mature at a younger age. In the past, Hyunjun was like that too.
“Sister, I will go out for a while. I’d rather give you a gift first.”
On the other hand, Hyeon-joon saw that the child’s expectations were growing, and he thought it would be better to solve it first.
“Yes, that would be better.”
“Then I’ll go out for a while and then come back.”
In fact, while buying presents at the department store, Hyeon-jun kept calling the nursery school office and asking about various things. As if she had already heard the news, Sister Veronica seemed to already know that Hyeon-jun had bought a bunch of things.
Anyway, when Hyeon-jun stood up right away, Sister Veronica, who was sitting across from her, also stood up and immediately expressed her gratitude to Hyeon-jun.
“I didn’t do much for you when you were growing up, but I always bother you. I’m always sorry, and thank you again.”
But at that moment, Hyeon-joon shook his hand saying no and replied immediately.
“no. Sister. I grew up well with a lot of gratitude. Everything is only thanks to Sister.”
Then, suddenly, Sister Veronica’s eyes seemed to be thrilled with a little moisture. The eyes look slightly moist.
Sister said that she shed more tears as she got older.
Seeing that she was about to shed tears any second, Hyeon-jun smiled and held her decrepit hand tightly.
“Sister, I’m really fine.”
“not. thank you always It was the same with the land issue last time… as always. Yes… always I am praying for your blessing.”
“Sister, I always have a feeling of gratitude.”
and after a while
Hyeon-jun approached the cars parked outside the nursery school.
The office teachers and other nuns also came out at this time to move the presents.
First, Hyeon-joon held an Elsa dress and shoes as gifts in Ji-yoon’s arms. Then the child smiled very brightly.
“Marianne, hurry up and say thank you.”
Jiyoon, whose young name is Marianne.
The child reacted immediately to someone’s words and bowed her head to Hyeonjun. And in a very small voice, he was saying thank you.
“···thank you.”
At this time, Hyeon-jun immediately smiled and nodded, and when I told him to go to the room and try on the dress, the child seemed excited and ran quickly. He was carrying large boxes in his small arms, but he did not miss them and ran frantically.
“Ho-ho-ho, look at me. How nice would it be. Our Marianne’s wish came true. Ho Ho. But how did it come so right? Professor Choi! You always have a lot of sense.”
“no. Teacher.”
“No what? thank you again and again Oh my, what is this again?”
“This is a gift for the teachers, and this is a gift for the children. Each one has a name, so you won’t get confused.”
“Wow, as expected, our Professor Choi!”
And another voice was heard.
“Thank you very much.”
Other nuns standing next to them.
They were just making the sign of the cross and praying for a while.
Hyeon-jun just smiled and responded, and soon after, with the help of team leader Kim Pyong-san and others, in an instant, each gift was carried into the nursery.
And after finishing the job, Hyeon-jun went back into the director’s office.

“Sister, I am sorry.”
After a while, Hyeon-jun sat facing Sister Veronica.
At this time, Hyun-joon immediately apologized for hiding facts related to him.
But Sister Veronica’s expression was completely unconcerned.
“not. He is a person who does big things outside, how can he do big things after talking about everything every time. Everything is only God’s will, how can anyone disobey? Noah, but… I heard you still aren’t going to church?”
“Oh, sorry. Sister.”
“not. okay. In the end, you can do whatever your heart desires. i get it. It’s such a long look, what more to worry about? People always commit sins. However, if you always have a caring heart for others, that is even more beautiful. I always believe in you, the kind you.”
Then more detailed conversations ensued.
Hyeon-jun also briefly mentioned his investment, but Sister Veronica didn’t seem to be particularly interested in that.
However, when Sister Veronica saw the malicious articles related to Hyeon-jun, she felt very sad at the time.
That’s why I sent a KakaoTalk message to Hyunjun.
And hearing those words, Hyeon-joon soon felt a little strange.
Reporter Tak Sang-jin of the K-Ilbo, who published malicious articles, and others.
The thought that such people should not be left alone grew even more.
In fact, he hadn’t done anything wrong to them.
Moreover, he submitted all of his investment records to the National Tax Service and the prosecution.
He even went so far as to prove his own transparency.
However, even so, K-Ilbo reporter Tak Sang-jin and others did not want to believe it at all, and are constantly producing false articles.
A once normal human. It seemed that he didn’t want to believe at all that such a person became a billion won in an instant.
Because of the stereotype that stock prices must be manipulated, they seem to be running wild like that.
Yes, it must be dealt with unconditionally.
Otherwise, things like this will continue to happen in the future.
Hyeonjun really wants to find a sure way.
The problem is that it is very difficult to respond immediately because of the powerful influence of the Korean media.
Of course, I sued them, but considering the time it took for the investigation and the legal battle that would unfold later, it seemed like it would take quite a while.
Just sure! Should I take over the K-Ilbo?
Hyeon-joon suddenly had such a thought. However, he soon shook his head.
What difference would it make if you took over a small newspaper?
No, in that case, wouldn’t it be better if he himself rose to a higher position?
To become a person in a position where the K-Ilbo and others cannot touch you.
Just like that, Hyeonjun even had a strange idea.
Because of that, Hyunjun’s thoughts deepened little by little.
Even as he was having conversations with Sister Veronica, Hyeon-jun continued to think about this and that.
and after a while
Hyun-Jun stopped by the orphanage administration office with Sister Veronica and signed an agreement to donate about 3 billion won annually.
In fact, Hyun-jun wanted to donate not just 3 billion won, but 10 billion won, or even more.
Because of the nuns who extremely dislike excessive things, Hyeon-jun insisted that the maximum amount he caught was 3 billion won.
And because of the other nuns’ insistence that even that much would make the nursery school’s life much more abundant, and because of Sister Veronica’s dissuade, Hyeon-jun had no choice but to do so.
Anyway, after finishing those things, Hyeon-jun held Sister Veronica’s hand tightly and said goodbye after a while.
Soon after, after saying hello to the nursery school teachers and other nuns, she got into the back seat of her car.
Meanwhile, after lowering the car window, saying hello again and waving, Hyun-jun slowly left the nursery school.
Just like that, when he got away from the nursery school again, at this time, Hyeon-jun felt a very strange feeling that unknown emotions were pouring out and a corner of his heart was empty by itself.

“Hey, here you come. hey! hey! Hyunjoon, here! here!”
and after a while
Around 7:00 in the evening, Hyeon-jun arrived at the meeting place on time.
A charcoal-grilled Korean beef restaurant with the savory smell of meat.
At this time, Hyeon-jun found his college friends who were there first and went straight to the table there.
Then, all of a sudden, everyone stood up.
“Hey, why?”
At the moment, when Hyun-jun asked in bewilderment, Jung Sang-hoon, who attends [SP Finetech], exclaimed loudly.
“Hey, we’re more embarrassed now. isn’t it? You guys?”
Kim Jeong-hoon, who attends [Changshin Securities], immediately agreed and shouted.
“Hey, of course not. Aren’t we going to have to pay for food plus alpha from now on?”
Hyunjoon doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
So, I was a bit puzzled.
Then Junghoon smiled and spoke again.
“People like Warren Buffett! The price of food, you paid so damn hard. Aren’t you completely that type?”
Oh, so that’s what it means.
Meals with celebrities.
In the United States, such things are auctioned off, often for millions of dollars or more.
Of course, this is possible because there are a lot of people in North America who want to eat such a meal.
“But, it’s really great. How can you earn so much with such a risky option?”
Kim Jeong-hun, who attends [Changshin Securities], exclaimed excitedly.
After a while, as each of them took their seats in front of the table, Jung-hoon started talking about Hyun-joon’s investment from then on.
In particular, the main topic is not only option investment.
Last Friday, right before the market close, it was a story about [Ilshin Pharm], which suddenly broke the upper limit again.
