After 12 Hours

Passenger

Behind the secretary, a middle-aged man appears. I stared at him. Dry body, long head up, sharp eyes to the side. And pale skin. It looks just like Lizardman. Lizardman. I thought about his name for a moment.

What did you say your name was? ’

I can't remember the name. I just remembered the nickname Lee Ah Young told me about.

Newsreader.

While I was thinking about it, he reached out to me and said,

“Greetings, Representative Han. I'm Reporter Kang Ju-hyuk from the First Economic Group. ”

I was just Kang Ju-hyuk. I remembered the name.

“Ah… yes. ”

I felt a slight tremor, holding his hand and waving.

"Economist? That's not a member of the crew's union. Why is he... anyway?" ’

At that moment, he smiled and said.

“First of all, congratulations on this award. ”

“Oh, yes, thank you. ”

“I... I have an interview with one of the award winners upstairs... I've been talking to my secretary because I really wanted to interview you. Would you be so kind as to give me an interview? ”

Behind him, his secretary gives an astonishing look. March

‘I asked for one. Jules.'

It's a look. It's worth it. It's because I told my sister before.

‘Please keep me exposed to as many media as possible. My company, my name. ’

But the problem was he was a very, very dangerous man.

You don't even know what he's doing.

I turned my eyes to reporter Kang Ju-hyuk.

“Why would I... look like Director of Suyeon's Taekjun Machine...”

“Ah! Director Tak Joon-gi? Director Tak is from Suyeon Group, so he's a bit...”

He gave me a slight lift and lowered his voice.

“Readers don't like to keep tabs on articles these days. No clicks. Besides... I hear you're a bit harsh...”

I know you worked together four or five years ago. ’

They were already colleagues when they destroyed the food. This man lied without blinking an eye. In a way, it's an amazing skill. I also told him as naturally as possible.

“Ah... maybe so. It's a time of relative deprivation. ”

“Yes, so... I wanted to interview one representative, not another. I heard you talking to the mayor earlier. You're from Earthwashing?”

“Well... yes. ”

“Great. Apparently, the 30-year-old CEO won more awards than the 30-year-old CEO used his money to win the prize. Isn't this just the article for the painting? Jules?”

He said to me with a slightly silly smile. I looked at him for a moment.

‘This guy... is the one who came here under the Takjungi Director's orders. You don't think I've been spotted...’

I knew his identity through Yi Ah Young. A newsmaker who makes news, shakes stock prices, and robs ants of their money. I don't know if I didn't know who he was, but knowing he was an assassin wouldn't be too bad to listen to him. As long as you know the flying dagger and trajectory, you can avoid it. Or we could counterattack them if we can.

“From what I hear... that sounds reasonable. All right, let's do it. Interview.”

“Really? Thank you. Jules!”

He bowed his head to me and said: The secretary in the back says, "Chuck! ’I can see it. I looked at it and thought to myself:

"Phew... You didn't catch the eel, you snake."

“What do you mainly see when you look at stocks? ”

“I tend to see a lot of future growth. Stocks are for eating dreams and growing up. I try to predict the future as much as possible. ”

“Oh, I see. But isn't the future an unpredictable domain of human power? ”

“I can't just say it's impossible. Isn't Alvin Toppler, the future scientist, remarkably predicting the future? I don't just cut it out to be impossible, it's very difficult. I would like to answer that question. ”

“Very difficult. ”

I nodded and said.

“Yes, but if you succeed in that difficult task, the price is enormous. ”

“Oh, that's a good point. ”

He listened to me and wrote down the typewriter. It looks very familiar. Obviously, I've been working for a long time.

“Then for the last time... tell the young people of this age. ”

“Me?”

“Yes. As a successful person in their 30s, it's good to have a sense of morality... or a sense of annoyance. ”

At that point, I stroked my chin for a moment, shaking my head.

“No. I wouldn't say that much. ”

“Then…? ”

“I'm just saying... I don't want to tell you anything else. ”

Reporter Kang Juhyuk glanced at me for a moment and said.

“But could you tell me something a little bit more specific? He's good at predicting the future. How to design the future without wasting your life... like learning Chinese... or learning coding...”

I shaken my head vigorously and said:

“I don't want to. I was successful at an early age… but that was also because I was lucky. It's not entirely my ability. ”

That was not a word of humility. Without the "12 Hours Later" news, I would not have been able to do this. I continued to say.

“Everyone has their own reasons, and when you say things like that to an unspecified number of people, I... I think it's arrogant. I think it's irresponsible. So... I just want you to say that whatever it is that young people do, you have to be strong... ”

He quickly teases his hand.

“Then work hard at anything. Should I put it that way?”

But I don't like it.

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Some things you don't have to work hard, obviously. And sometimes it helps to take a step back. ”

Reporter Kang Ju-hyuk stared at me. I continued to say.

“So just... whatever it is I do, I support you. Cheer up.Sometimes life brings you luck. That's all I want to say. I've made a bit of a fortune at this age... but I guess that's also a lot of luck. ”

“Well...”

Reporter Kang Juhyuk lifted his lower lip and said as if he was somewhat dissatisfied.

“Is that so? I see...”

I don't know if it's because it doesn't have a knighthood or because it's different from what you think.

“That concludes the interview. The content of the interview will be as varied as possible, and in a week's time, it will be on our weekly newspaper and on the Internet site. ”

I nodded.

“Yes, sir. ”

Reporter Kang Juhyuk took his laptop and put it in his bag on Juju Island. I can't believe you're seeing that.

What, is this the end? ’

I think so. As soon as Takjungi broke up with Director Tak, he appeared and asked for an interview, and I thought that something would come up with a strange offer, but there was nothing like it.

‘... are you just here to face me today? "Before the search?"

But that was just the time.

“This is a personal question, by the way...”

I opened my eyes slightly.

“Yes, please. ”

“Who do you think will be selected as a policy provider for urban renewal in Seoul this time? ”

I said, blinking my eyes.

“... Yes? ”

“Why not? Mayor Seong-won's commitment. ”

“Ah… the old urban renewal business. ”

It was the largest, first-rate pact in the Jooseongwon market. A pact to tear down old buildings in the old city of Seoul and revitalize the old city by creating new buildings, new commercial rights. Honestly, there are no good commitments like before, now, development or redevelopment. That's what real estate people love, and residents love. It is such a good promise for a good sister and a good husband.

At the time of the Seoul Mayor's election, Dongbo Construction, which was the outdoor director of Seongwon Province, became the chairman. There was such a background. Usually before elections, political themes focus on who will be elected, and after elections, on what the elector will do. It's called a policy-themed shareholder. It's only been half a year since the mayor of Seongwon has been elected, so it's time to start now. I asked him.

“That... has it been going on recently? ”

“Oh, you didn't know? ”

I honestly didn't know. There was no news about it in the future. Even without such news, my calendar app already had a supernova treasure map on it, so I didn't even think to look for it.

“As soon as I was elected, I told everyone to keep their promise... I've been making some progress lately. The first redevelopment business in the Middle East... is right around the corner from here. ”

“Oh... I see. What about Dongho Construction and...? ”

“No, Dongbo Construction was not on the list. Why did the mayor say he was an outsider before... I think he just took it out because it's a privilege controversy. ”

“Ha…”

Nowadays, when you have connections, you become negative. I looked around.

“Then…? ”

“There are about five nominations...”

He pulls a piece of paper out of his chest.

‘Aha, now you show your true colors. ’

In my eyes, I see a piece of paper, not just a piece of paper, but a dagger. The dagger that tried to stab me.

“The most powerful here are emergency construction and Jinyang development. These two can compress...”

I asked him.

“Where did you hear that? ”

“Hah. Well... I hear it sometimes when I'm working in journalism. Gossip girl. Haha."

‘Coming through? You didn't make this up? ’

The nickname wouldn't have been called newsmaker for nothing. I quietly said.

“Oh... Then you have a good chance if you choose well here. Isn't this going to be quite a budget? ”

I said he smiled and said.

“Of course.”

Perhaps he thought the fish had bitten him, and he seemed to be smiling. But I'm not an easy fisher.

Can you catch me? ’

I've been thinking about how I'm going to sink this thing into the ocean and under the water. If so, he probably won't even shed a tear of mourning.
