After 12 Hours

The Future in 12 Years (2)

The way home from the hospital. I said with my wife's hand held.

“Thank God. A simple cold. ”

“I see.”

“But you have to be careful. Just like the teacher said, don't go out today and rest well. Okay?"

She nods twice.

“Yes.”

“If you get sick again, call me right away. ”

“Oh, by the way, why did you turn off your phone? I kept in touch.”

“Ah, I had a little important thing this morning. ”

“Hmmm... yes. Is it on now?”

I looked at my phone. There is still three missed calls.

“Yeah, sorry. ”

“It's okay, but I'm calling my secretary. It was instantly connected.”

“Glad to hear it. ”

I nodded and then told Park's assistant who was driving in the front seat.

“Good job as a Park's secretary. Thank you."

He nods slightly toward the rearview mirror.

“You're welcome.”

Park continued to drive. Soon our car arrived at the company building. However, as soon as I got out of the parking lot, Park's assistant said,

“Oh, Ms. Grant. I... don't know what time it is. Now we have to get back out there. Your next appointment time is up. ”

“Oh, right. Yeah, that was it, wasn't it? ”

“Yes, time's up. You can go up and down, but I think you should come down pretty soon. ”

I nodded.

“Ah yes. Then I'll send my wife up. ”

“Yes, boss. ”

My wife looks at me and asks,

“What? What else is going on? ”

“Yeah, you know, the new companies. Go and I'll be your master. Show your face, take an oath of allegiance. ”

Today was an important day. Meeting with the company representatives under the new acquisition of Suyeon Construction. My wife was sick and I was distracted, so I forgot for a moment. I said while pressing the elevator lift button.

“Hmm, everyone must be nervous. ”

“Whatever. Oh, by the way, there's a party there today. ”

“A feast?”

“Yeah. Big job done. I decided to shoot Jean and the directors one big time...”

Today, I've been trying to stay drunk for a long time. But I'm sorry about my sick wife.

“Should we just eat and come in? You're sick.”

“It's okay. It's a mild cold. It's a reunion. Don't come in here shaken to death."

That said, I laughed and said.

“Hmm. Don't worry. I'm not like anyone else, so I'm pretty strong. Being drunk and carrying someone in your arms...”

My wife said, slapping my arm.

“Forget it. Suddenly, the old stories. ”

“Why. Memories. Well, if it wasn't for that, we wouldn't be married like this. ”

“Hmm. I see. ”

My wife thought about old times, like when she was drunk and carrying me around. You grin. Soon the elevator will come and stand before us. I told her.

“Anyway, I'll be back before 10: 00. You're doing great. ”

“Yes.”

After sending my wife home, I returned to the parking lot where Park's secretary was waiting.

“It's not too late now, is it? ”

“Yes, not late, but we should be arriving a little early. ”

“Yes, it is. Let's go a little faster, then. Let's go.”

“Yes, boss. ”

Suyeon Electronics Building, not too far from the Invisibility Investment Building. As soon as I get out of the car in the parking lot, Vice President Jang comes out to meet me first.

“Hello, Ms. Grant."

“Yes. Have you all met? ”

“Yes”

“How are you doing? ”

“Everyone's nervous. What kind of person is the boss? How do I make it look? I noticed you were thinking about that. ”

“Oh, right. Mr. Tak's family? ”

“It's mostly organized. There are a few people left, but only the books, and they're actually all gone. The people who are here today are either elected as replacements, or only the people who will be elected. ”

“Well, yes. That's great.”

I went to the elevator with him. In front of the elevator stands the pretenders of the Invisibility Investment, Director Kim, Director Jung, Director Kang, etc. They look at me and bow down.

“Hello, Ms. Grant. ”

They got elevators for me, too. I gestured and said.

“Yes, let's go. ”

As I was taking the elevator up to the destination, I told Vice President Jang.

“Oh, I thought of a name for this company this morning. ”

“With what?”

I brought up the story I had planned.

“I saw the newspaper this morning, and my name came up in the article I saw today. Like a genius investment or something. ”

“You do this a lot, don't you? ”

“Yes, but so. I don't think it's bad to just name it after me. because there's a brand that I've been building. So Sang-hoon Han, Sang-hoon Han. I thought maybe we could do it as a SHH group. What do you think, Vice President Jang? ”

I say, Vice President Jang says,

“It's a bit simple, but not bad. Named after the founder… It's not common for Korean companies…”

His assessment was, in fact, ‘so-so’. That I agree with. So-so, neither good nor bad. Except for the fact that a company named after me helps people search.

‘Well, I guess I wouldn't have called it SHH if it wasn't for people searching. ’

I thought about it, and I told him.

“Um... okay. ”

Then, he turned slightly and asked the other three directors.

“What do you think of the board? ”

“Sounds good. I can't disagree with your opinion. ”

“I like it, too. His reputation precedes him overseas. ”

“It's a good idea to name your boss. ”

The three of them spoke to me in a rather flattering voice. And when I heard that,

‘How many of these people think are really good? One, two? ’

I thought so. The boss thought, "I don't think that's a good idea. ’There aren't many people who can say.

‘... Of course, if there were any disagreements, I would have forced myself to do so... Whatever. Then SHH would be good. ’

Meanwhile, the elevator door opens, and the movers go out first and give me a hand.

“This way, boss. ”

I said as I followed them.

“So, how many people did you say you were going to meet today? 17? ”

“Yes, exactly 17. ”

Sum of Suyeon Electronics, Construction and its subsidiaries is 17. This was due to the expansion of the signature octopus, which ranged from a children's toy company to a viewbox cinema with popcorn, nachos and grilled squid delivery companies. Usually, these places are the patriarchs of Pyeongwoo Sadon.

‘You must be Mr. Tak. Here, take this. ’

It was distributed that way. Among the dogs, there were also many companies that offered daily work for tax evasion. It is the legacy of Pyeongwoo.

“Maintaining everything seems inefficient... but I think we need to put it together appropriately. I think”

Vice President Jang also received my word.

“Yeah, I think so, too. Once all the remaining Mr. Tak is out, he's about to enter into a shareholding relationship. ”

“Okay, good. ”

I nodded and walked down the hall. The previous director opened the door of a hall and said.

“This way, boss. ”

I walked in that direction. Inside, there are a total of 17 people standing in tension. They bowed their heads as I walked forward appropriately.

“Nice to meet you. Boss.”

I watched them standing in their seats. As Vice President Jang said, they are looking at me with tense eyes. I looked at them and laughed. If it were normal, I would be a little nervous, but I'm not nervous at all. It's probably because I know my future. I will not fail. These companies, which will soon be SHH Group, will see tremendous growth in the coming years. I opened my mouth with a confident tone.

“Greetings, bosses. ”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

The elevator door opens, and I carefully enter the house. But I hear voices coming from inside.

“You're here early. ”

Soon my wife in pajamas comes to see me.

“Haven't you slept? ”

“Yes. What about the ceremony? You didn't?”

“No, but... I drank quickly. ”

My wife sniffed at the air around me for a while.

“Hmm. That's true.

You nod. I shake my hand and say,

“Don't take it. Smell the booze on your belly. ”

It's 9: 10. As soon as the 7: 30 ceremony started, I quickly withdrew progress, drank as much as I could, and returned home. To make sure she's okay.

“Is the fever okay? ”

“Yes. Much better. I think I'll be almost fine in one night. ”

“Yeah, that's great. Go get some rest. I'm gonna take a shower. ”

“Yes.”

After taking a shower, my wife is already in bed sleeping. I don't know if he waited for me, even though he was sleepy. I lay quietly beside her, so as not to wake her up. Then, I picked up my cell phone.

It's 9: 20.

8: 50pm. You will receive an email. I tried to see it, but I gave up, in a slow, drunken state. I didn't think it would make it to the news.

‘Come to bed today. Tomorrow morning we'll see both barrels at once. ’

I fell asleep thinking about it.

The next morning. When I woke up, I had no wife. I left the bedroom and went to the living room. The kitchen is popular.

“Oh, you cook? ”

“Yes.”

I've been there. Something smells fishy.

“Six. Eat and go. ”

“A cold, by the way? Are you okay?"

“Yeah, it's a little creepy. I think the fever's almost gone. No headaches.”

I approached my wife, touched her head. I'm definitely feverish.

“I'm glad.”

“Right? It was a really simple cold. ”

“That's good. Still. If your doctor comes next week, listen to me. I'm pregnant, so watch out for one thing. ”

“Okay, okay. ”

I went to work after eating the six sheds my wife made.

“Good morning. ”

“Good morning. Boss.”

Say hello to Park's secretary and come back. Turn on the computer and open the email box. There was still an email yesterday at 8: 50 p.m.

‘12 hours after GM’, ‘12 days after GM’, ‘12 weeks after GM’, ‘12 months after GM’ and ‘12 years after GM'. I quickly read it down. Then, at 8: 50 a.m., five more e-mails came in. I read it again, again. However, in these successive future news reports, I discovered one strange, strange, and strange thing.

Wait... what... what is this? “

The more I read the mail over and over again, It got bigger and bigger. I kept the mail open and muttered, taking my hand to my chin.

“What's wrong with you? This?”
