After 12 Hours

The Future in 12 Years (3)

I clasped my arms and muttered.

“It's strange to see...”

In my mind, I kept watching the news, I came up with a hypothesis. A hypothesis that is unlikely, but not impossible at all.

“It can't be...”

I kept the knights in front of me, touching my lower lip. And then, in the process,

Tiri.

The phone rang.

“Yes.”

“Ms. Grant, 20 minutes later, Suyeon Electronics Kick is scheduled to be interviewed in the conference room. Both the water electronics CTO and former Vice President of Maverick Turner Intel are expected early. ”

“Ah yes. Aren't you supposed to see someone this afternoon? ”

“Yes, Suyeon Construction interim boss. Vice President Jang wants you to say hello to him right away...”

“... Yes. Okay, I'll be right out. ”

“Yes, Jules. ”

After the call, I looked at the mailbox with the future news, and I closed it. Soon after the acquisition of Suyeon Group, there was too, too, much work to do.

‘... so this hypothesis... is not clear yet, is it? After work... let's hear the news one more time in the evening and reconsider. It could be a coincidence. ’

Once I thought about it, I got up from my seat.

*

I asked with my hands together.

“Yes, I heard you. Finally, what do you want to talk about? ”

“I first joined the water electronics in 1992. Just 30 years from now. I've been working in the industry for a long time, and that has given me my own insight. ”

I thought as I listened to it.

Oh, yeah? An insight.

Maybe ‘listening to me' is more important than that. No matter how insightful you are, you can't outperform me. I see the future.

“If the board of directors of invictus, including Representative Han Sang-hoon, elect me president...”

A middle-aged man with half a clear head talked to me like a politician calling out a pledge. Water electronics CTO before Shin Jae-chul. After graduating from Seoul University of Electrical Engineering, he entered the Plains of Sung Electronics and became the most dominant person. However, he was also known to be caught up in fights inside the water group, so the water group and the conclusion were not very good.

“I'm going to live my experience and run my company wisely. That way we can increase our operating earnings by 20% next year…”

I looked at him casually. It's not a penny, it's not a penny, it's a 30 trillion dollar company. I can't leave it to anyone.

“... I'll do it. ”

After his speech, I nodded and said to him.

“Yes, I heard you. We will discuss this with you and inform you as soon as a decision is made. As you know, it won't be long since our company acquired Suyeon Electronics, so it might take a while. ”

Scared to the end of my words, he replies to me.

“I'm fine. I'll wait. Jules.”

I also had a sense that I was a long person in the water group and gave a quick answer that I wanted.

“Yes... I will inform you of the outcome... in a month or two. ”

Why two months? Because there were two candidates for the next president. It will only take Crowe two months to dig behind them.

“Yes, sir. Jules.”

He nods at me and leaves the interview. I asked Jean who was sitting next to me.

“What do you think?”

“I thought you were a bit of an engineering Ph.D., but you're pretty straightforward. Do you think it's charismatic? ”

I said, raising the profile in front of me.

“Besides... you went to America to Savvy and did an MBA. ”

“I think someone was trying to raise her in a waterborne group. President, at least? to that extent. ”

“But you got pushed away in the middle of that? ”

“Yes. The company is... the jungle. ”

In fact, Vice President Jang was also the one who came out of the company after getting caught up in a political fight. Don't tell me you're a lifesaver, but you're now paying 10 times more than your salary back then. I thought about moving the profile of the water electronics CTO to the side before New Jae-chul.

"Well... a victim of domestic politics... I hope he doesn't. ’

The next profile is a typical white guy. There's a picture of a man inside a blonde wall.

“Next... you're from the United States. Maverick Turner.”

I say, the Kwon Director is sitting on one leg apart.

“Yes, a former Vice President of Intel, and no one in the electronics industry knows about it. ”

I've heard it quite a few times. I gestured and said.

“Let me in.”

*

“Then I'll go. ”

“Yes, go up. Ms. Grant, you've done well today. ”

I nodded and said.

“Yeah, you, too. ”

I broke up with Park's assistant in front of the elevator.

Phew...

I sighed, rubbing my eyes together. Today was a pretty tiring day. Morning in a row (one and a half hours per person)), called Suyeon Construction's interim president in the afternoon to discuss short-term management policies and subsidiary reform issues.

And after dinner, we discussed with the directors how to rename the companies we just acquired to SHH. I'm so busy working all day. But perhaps for a few more days, we will have to continue to do so.

Suyeon Electronics 30 trillion. Suyeon Construction 30 trillion. It's not normal to take over 60 trillion dinosaur companies in total. The elevator door opened, and Ah-young, who was waiting on the porch, told me.

“You're late.”

“Yes, it's been a long time. Late night.”

“Tired, aren't you?”

“Yes, but... it's worth it. It's cute compared to what I used to do at work last night. ”

It's true, even if it's the same night shift, it's not the same night shift as the 'level of changing people' at that time. The job robbery and the length of time itself were different, but now that I'm here, it's great that no one notices.

“Hmm, back then? Back in the plains? ”

“Yes.”

She said, accepting the cloak from me.

“Can you tell me more about that time? ”

I shook my head.

“I don't want to do it. ”

I really don't want to do it Even though I am the richest man in Korea, I don't want to relive the hardships I endured. I immediately changed the subject.

“How are you feeling, by the way? ”

“I've had a good couple of days, and I think I'm almost done. ”

“Yes, thank God. Still, rest until tomorrow. Don't go anywhere else. Huh?”

“Okay, brother. ”

I took off my pants and picked up the phone that was in there. It's only 8: 42 now.

‘Time for the afternoon news. ’

Yesterday I was drunk and postponed seeing it in the morning, but today I don't want to delay. I had a hypothesis to test. I went into the shower and said,

“Don't mind me. Get some rest. I'm gonna take a shower and get back to work. ”

“Yes? Is there anything else you need to do? ”

“Yeah. There's usually no end to work. ”

*

After the shower, I heard a TV sound coming from the bedroom, and I headed to my study. I turned on my computer and opened my email box. Twelve hours to twelve years later, five news stories. I clicked on the news 12 years earlier than other news stories this time.

"Not again." ’

Thinking about it.

Politics – Presidents of reelected members. Any variables?

Economic - global expansion of bases. Is the Chinese nightmare over?

Society – the age of holograms. Where will the teacher stand?

Life/Culture – VRAquarium by foot into the sea.

World – Popocatepetl, Mexico - Explodes again in 6 years

IT/Science – Cost of space travel down to $50,000 this year.

Sports – FIFA Best Eleven 24/25 Season.

Entertainment – 2025 Grammy Awards. Stars' glamorous faces.

And I looked through the news and I thought,

This time... it's true, isn't it? What about the terms? ’

There was no breaking news this time. I started at the top again. Politics first.

‘The story of the reelection of President Seong-won Joo... since he was elected last year. News in 2025. ’

Next is the economy.

‘Is the Chinese nightmare over... This is the news that could come out this year. This year or next year. ’

Society.

‘The hologram will be commercialized around next year. So this news is coming out in a couple of years. ’

Life, culture.

‘We can still make VRAquarium. It's just a level difference. ’

And the world.

‘The eruption of Popocatepetl volcano in 2018... again in six years, 2024. ’

IT, Science.

$50,000 or $60,000? I've been back and forth for 200 grand. This 'll be quick. "

Sports.

‘Best of 24/25 season. ’

Entertainment

2025 Grammy Awards.

All the same. Ranked as a Grandmaster yesterday and by this afternoon. Four "12 Years Later" News Received. No exceptions at all. Obviously, there is no news until ‘12 years later' from now, ‘4 years later’ 2026. I thought as I stroked my chin,

What the hell is that? Error? ’

But it can't be a mistake. Future news, such as this knife, clearly shows what is stated.

At first I thought it was just bad luck... so I didn't have science fiction...

There is only one possibility in this situation.

"By no means... since 2026... has there been no news?" ’

That's the hypothesis I've been thinking about since this morning. I searched for ‘Han Sang-hoon’ in the People Search field.

‘The richest man in Korea, even in 2025, is Han Sang-hoon, the CEO of Invisibility Investment. ’

Again, my news hasn't been released since 2025. You can also search for ‘Seong-won Joo’ or Talent ‘Oh Hyun-joo’. Everyone's talking about what they've done by 2025, and no news since 2026.

What happened? ’

But then, something caught my eye. Person Search The active skill below it. Ranking News. The ranking news that shows the top 1, 2, and so on for the specified time period.

... number one and number two on the most viewed news of 12 years...

Cooldown is once a month anyway. I tapped ranking news and triggered an active skill. Then, two lines of news came out. I don't know if I saw it.

“Son of a...”

In 12 years, the most viewed news in my country, # 1 and # 2, were these.

‘A Chinese nuclear bomb strikes Washington. Only ashes remain in the American capital. ’

Hit Beijing with an American nuclear bomb. We estimate 10 million civilians dead. ’
