Life, Once Again!

“It's not an obligation. If you call me when you're ready, I'll find you. ”

“It scratches very well where it itches. I'm glad you don't like it when the guy who looks like he hates it gets stuck in your foot. Talent is what makes flattery sound good. I don't like people sucking my toes out loud. ”

The chairman pressed the bell on the table. Soon after, the women dressed in hanbok gave me a new drink statue. Steamed main clams are placed in the middle, and various seaweeds fill the void. Liquor was commonly found on the market.

“I grew up in Busan. Born in Seoul, he went down to Buria Buria Busan in the war. I was confused because of the war, but people had to work in the chaos. I packed a bag of books and sold grass bread when I had to go to school. What can I do if I ask you to lend me half of your money every day in exchange for a machine? My father's been separated from the war, and I don't know if he's alive, but my mother is lying down. I got a room that was collapsing with the only money I had, but I had to work to feed my brothers. Not particularly. That's what they did back then. She died unfairly, and there were two or three nosebleeds to take care of. ”

The floor examined the Makgeolli brand. It was Busan. A drink filled with memories and sorrow for the chairman.

“Then I was offered a plate of grass. That was my first scam. He's amazing. Actually, the gentleman rented the framework to someone else. He was like a peasant in the old town with a plowshare. That's when I realized.”

I poured a drink into the President's cup. It was better to listen quietly when the old man was looking into the past.

“Holding the real thing in your hands is no use to you. The Grass Bread Frame was in my hands, but I ended up making money selling it to the man who sold it to me. Of course, if you keep selling grass bread, you'll make money. I could have lived with it. But that's it. You get your hands on the prize of selling grass bread. And then you know what I did? ”

“You must have lent the frame to someone else. ”

“Yes, I lent it to the woodcutter, and at that time, I learned skills from him. Combined my wages and rent, I got another frame and put more in the neighbourhood. That's how I managed over thirty dogs. What do you think? You must be rich. ”

“More than half of the thirty dogs, maybe all of them, have gone underground or sold in junk. ”

The chairman swallowed Makgeolli in a heartbeat.

“Yes, that's correct. If the first fraud was a grass-fed frame, it was my first business failure. I was only 16. At the time, of course, I was treated like an adult. My stomach was full watching the frame grow every day. The people who were framed for months gave me money. But as if they were squeezing, people disappeared at some point. With my framework. He was crazy and jumpy. I searched the neighborhood like this, and I found the guy who took the frame. He told me to hold his collar and pay for it, so I sold it. Even if you ask for money, all you have to do is tell them they're gone. I had no place to complain, so I decided to reclaim the frame myself. And I met the guy who cheated on me there again. It was amazing. ”

“What did you do then? ”

“I've got the crotch and the crotch. I want to make money just like you. ”

“Did the man tell you the secret? ”

“I told you. Don't go after the money. Go after the people." Since then, I've often thought back to the man's words. But none of it fits. Because people betray you all the time. Stabbing a knife in the back was always a person. Money was always honest. I completely forgot what he said. All I could think about was money, and my fortune just blew up like a bot. Money is the best, money is also a measure of credit, money is the only rule and order. ”

The chairman loudly gripped his right hand as he spoke. The trembling chairman's eyes became silent. He relaxes his hands and shrugs.

“But I was wrong. It was a man who put a knife in the back, but it was a man who stopped it. I get worried. What kind of people would I have to leave by my side to become a pillar that will sustain Korean history without collapsing my business? They think I'm a monster, but I'm not that monster. Rather very fragile. Before the foreign exchange crisis, I used to hire people. I even had a very strong interview. I chose people based on their personality, not just their ingredients and their specs. Do you know how hard and expensive it is to verify your personality? ”

“It's definitely harder than sprinkling and screening your own private test papers. ”

The chairman nods.

“I couldn't set a uniform standard, so I either saw it for myself or hired someone I could trust. It was a costly and time-consuming process, but I believed it was for the company. They promoted me if I was good at assessing people around me, even if I didn't have the skills. It was a real cozy office. It was like a family. It's used in a different way now, but I was really determined then. We celebrate each other sincerely when something happens, and we cry together when something bad happens. ”

The floor poured liquor into the glass. He glanced at the sliding glass and said.

“And then the IMF attacked. Companies like family, companies that are not false, companies that are affectionate. ”

The self-smiling chairman emptied his cup and asked.

“What would happen to my company? ”

“I'm not sure. ”

“I don't know. It's normal not to know. Your brothers called me at night. I was too busy with debts to stop right now. I asked him what happened. They just changed each other's names. It was a whirling horse, but the point was one. Cut him off, not me. Those bastards who were shouting with their shoulders changed their attitudes because a knife went into their throats. That's not the point. He must have asked me for a favor to save his family. It's better for a brother's family to suck their fingers than for my family to get out on the street. ”

The chairman looked straight at him and asked.

“What would you have done? If you have a close company colleague and one of you has to quit the company tomorrow, will you ask your superiors to save your life? Or are you just gonna sit back and follow the company policy? ”

“If you can hold your life in one phone call, I will. ”

“Even if your best friend leaves the company? ”

“I don't worry about what I can't handle. I just do everything I can. It must be heartbreaking for him to grumble against me. But if I can protect my family because I'm sick, I think it's cheap. ”

“You're a cold-blooded bastard. ”

He was the chairman who flayed his lower lip as if he didn't like it. I drank rice wine without caring about the floor. I liked the relationship with the chairman this much. I wanted to put out all the liver gallbladder and remain friendly, but I didn't want it to interfere with my life as an actor. I know he's got a point, but that's it. That was enough.

“Well, that's how everyone lives. Talent over character, talent over character. The company became a wolf's lair when wounds were inflicted, but it became as strong and strong as the herd. But I keep thinking about what he said. Don't go after the money, go after the man. ”

The chairman gestured to stop going. A sudden gesture of gratitude. The floor quietly rises to greet the chairman. I opened the door and came out, and Park's lawyer stood up.

“Are you leaving? ”

“Yes, sir. He wants me to leave. I don't think he likes me. ”

“Okay, got it. Let's have dinner later. ”

“I'll go first. ”

After greeting lawyer Park, the floor bowed again to the chairman behind the open door. The chairman was not looking.

“I'll get up. ”

“Yes, well done. Take it easy.”

Park's lawyer left the room. The chairman watched the vacancy across the street and called Kim's assistant.

“Secretary Kim. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“What would you do if the prosecution didn't hand over the source of my visa money to my family? ”

Kim's assistant answered without hesitation.

“I'm sorry, sir, but I'll pass it along. ”

“You sick bastard. At this point, you have to put a needle in your mouth and give your life to defend it. ”

“If I were that guy, you would have thrown me out a long time ago. ”

The chairman seated Kim's assistant and followed him to the drink.

“The one called Hangul is quite ferocious. I don't cross the line, even though I feel sorry for myself. Like you don't need my help. ”

“You must have liked it. ”

He rolled his lips slightly.

“If you'd listened to the old man's boring old stories, you'd have to pay me back. Let's add a few more things to the ad we asked for as a gift. ”

"I understand."

The chairman raised his chin in thought of an answer.

"I don't hate those who turn on the lights to protect their families. Rather, they were the ones who brought me greater benefits after the crisis. A good act is bound to break someday. So I like bad guys who try to protect their own people at all costs. At least they're after people, not money."

Kim's assistant picked up the rice wine bottle. The chairman grabbed the glass lightly.

Did anyone see the cockroach show today?

It was a live television broadcast of PS4 with cockroaches, and 30,000 people were watching it. That's a hell of a story.

A world where star-spangled content becomes money and issues.
