Except I’m ex-girlfriend. told the truth
“It’s my school mate. Because I am getting married this time.”
President Lim Su-mi nodded her head.
“i See.”
“The person who will become my husband is GH Construction’s Go Jun-hyung, do you know?”
At my words, she widened her eyes.
“He is the third son of CEO Jin-Kwang Ko. Ah! I heard that she is getting married this time.”
Seon-ah quickly got up from her seat and bowed her head.
“Good morning. My name is Sun-ah Yoon.”
“Nice to meet you. This is Im Soo-mi.”
The two shook hands.
“Congratulations on your marriage.”
“Thank you.”
Maybe it was because she was pressed by the atmosphere of President Im Soo-mi’s female lead, Seon-ah looked somewhat withdrawn.
“I didn’t know that the person who would become the daughter-in-law of CEO Jin-kwang Ko was the motive of CEO Jin-hoo Kang. If the two of you are acquainted, it will be easier for GH E&C to get help from OTK Company later.”
I smiled and shook her head.
“Is that possible?”
“why? OTK Company is also the largest shareholder of Akit.”
I know everything.
British startup ArcIt is a company that designs architecture using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Although it is not well known in Korea, it is currently growing rapidly, mainly in Europe.
She took her business card from her handbag she was holding and handed it to me.
“If you need anything from the hotel, please feel free to contact me. If it’s the CEO’s call, she’ll answer it even when she’s sleeping.”
If you receive a business card from your partner at a business meeting, it is polite to give your own business card.
I also have a business card. That’s why I didn’t take it
“Do you know my contact information?”
“of course. I’ll be sure to set up a seat for you soon and treat you to a meal. See you all with her brother.”
“Yes. I look forward to it.”
“I think I wasted too much of your time. I’ll just go I will buy coffee today, so keep talking.”
“Take a look.”
Seon-ah bowed her head and greeted her.
“Goodbye.”
After President Sumi Lim left, we sat down again.
Seon-ah looked at me with a surprised look. With the appearance of President Lim Su-mi, I confirmed my position anew.
Of course, you already knew this, but knowing with your head and seeing and feeling with your own eyes are bound to be different.
Seon-ah did not speak for a long time. She simply bowed her head and continued to fiddle with his cup of coffee.
“If I had been by your side… … Would you still be as successful as you are now?”
“Well.”
I am a person who seeks stability. When I was in school, I had never thought of a business like that, and my goal was to get a job in the financial sector. If the family was in good shape and my father was still alive, I would have graduated and found a job.
Although he had the ability of foresight, investing was a huge risk.
Would she have made the same choice even if Seon-ah had been by her side all the time?
I remembered the path I had taken all this time. She wasn’t there anyway. Now that it has come, there is no going back.
“No one knows what will happen.”
Seon-ah had a sad expression on her face.
“I do.”
Talking about the past is meaningless. What is important is the future.
“When I see you, I have something I want to say… … .”
“Huh?”
She thought for a moment, and then she shook her head.
“I’d rather not do it either.”
I smiled lightly.
She asked Seon-ah looking at me.
“Will you come to the wedding?”
I’m not very familiar with the Korean business world. Fortunately, she is in frequent contact with the Suseong group because of her business, but the other chaebols have only seen one face at a meeting hosted by Ronald.
Therefore, if I appear at the wedding venue, it may become an issue in itself. He probably wouldn’t have given the wedding invitation to mean that he really came. Rather the opposite.
I shook my head.
“I’ll send you a lot of congratulations.”
Seon-ah smiled softly as if she knew that. Then he grabbed her bag and stood up.
She bid her farewell.
“Goodbye, Jinhoo.”
I said sincerely.
“congratulation for the wedding.”

Since I collapsed in America, calls have come from everywhere. Yuri also called several times.
At that time, of course, I didn’t answer, but after waking up, we talked for a while. And today the phone rang again.
Again, Yuri asked if she was okay, and I answered yes and changed the topic.
“Then it must have been school vacation.”
[When did you go on vacation? Please pay attention to the academic calendar.]What will a student on a long leave of absence be interested in the academic calendar?
“Where are you going to play?
[I’m playing. Are you saying that even when you look at the youth unemployment rate now? It’s not a fuss because everyone is studying for a job. I have to work hard to get into an OTK company.]“Huh? Are you really coming in?”
[As I said before. Until I graduate, I have to leave one spot left. You can’t say there’s no TO later.]“… … .”
Is this what the public is saying about illegal job solicitation?
“By the way, didn’t you say you called because you had something important to say?”
[Ah! Yes. Well, I’m not sure if I can tell you or not. You’ll find out anyway… … .]“What? Are you getting married, Seon-ah?”
Yuri was startled by my words.
[How did you know?]“I heard it myself.”
[To Seon-ah-senpai? Haven’t we met?]“I met you. Shouldn’t that be the case?”
[No, it’s not impossible, but… … So what happened?]“How is it? She congratulated me on a good life.”
[Hmm, good job. Ah! But did you hear that?]“What are you talking about?”
[I heard from my dad, Warren Boat is visiting Korea next week.]“okay? What are you coming for?”
Berkshire Cashier, headed by Warren Boat, initially started out in the insurance industry, but now invests across industries including finance, IT, media, manufacturing, energy, retail, consumer goods, and automobiles.
Warren Boat never invests in areas he doesn’t know well about or considers risky. Therefore, even during the dot-com bubble, they did not invest in internet stocks until the end, which drew resentment from shareholders. After the bubble burst later, he was praised as a genius of investment.
Instead, it bought familiar companies such as Coca-Cola, Costco, and Walt Disney. Recently, it is known that there is a great interest in the field of the 4th industrial revolution including IT. An example is the purchase of NPL stocks.
[It seems that he is coming to meet Chairman Im Jin-yong.]Warren Boat selects investment targets very carefully, and does not invest in companies with overlapping business areas. However, not long ago, he made a sudden purchase of Seosung Electronics stock and surprised people.
Are you meeting with Chairman Im Jin-yong over investment issues?
* * *
a few days later.
Warren Boat’s visit to Korea was reported to the media.
As Bill Gates knows even if you don’t know anything about computers, even people who aren’t interested in finance or investing have probably heard of Warren Boat.
Warren Boat was born and raised in the city of Edens, a little far from Atlanta, the capital of Jozaa, and after graduating from college, he returned to his hometown and settled there.
The Berkshire Cashier is also based in Edens, and Warren Boat spent most of his life in the area. He seldom left his hometown, except for special occasions.
This is his first visit to Korea in almost 10 years.
When news of his visit to Korea broke, the Blue House immediately announced its intention to invite him. A Blue House spokesperson even briefed the press that President Park Si-hyeong would have a meal with Warren Boat and discuss investment expansion.
Conservative media, such as the Chojung Ilbo, centered on the meeting of President Park Si-hyeong and Warren Boat, and poured articles on it.
[President Park Si-hyeong invites Warren Boat to the Blue House!][Business-friendly behavior that continues even at the end of his tenure][Meeting the President of the Economy and the Great Investor!][Use it as an opportunity to increase investment in Korea by global companies][Warren Boat’s investment philosophy is similar to the creative economy in a broad framework… … .]This makes it look as if Warren Boat is coming to Korea to meet President Park Si-hyung.
However, when the article was published, Berkshire Cashier denied the report by the Korean media.
Since going to Korea is for vacation, not work, and I have personal schedules, the invitation to the Blue House is very grateful, but I will postpone it until next time. He also emphasized that the meeting with Chairman Im Jin-yong was due to his relationship with former Chairman Il-kwon Lim.
-I’m tired of your excitement.
– It sounds like a real creative economy. Stop creating news.
– It seems you were trying to make the meeting happen through public pressure. What I was doing was so stupid I was at a loss for words.
-Chaebol presidents would have canceled all their schedules and rushed to the Blue House, but can Warren Boat do that?
– This is international disgrace. If you stay still, go in the middle.
-Isn’t the Cho Joong Ilbo even out of place? This is why I call you a giraffe.
But this time, another report came from the American media. It was said that Warren Boat would meet not only Chairman Im Jin-yong but also Kang Jin-hoo.
-A meeting between investors of the century?
– Each of us was black!
– Now you don’t have much to see. Kang Jin-hoo is on a winning streak.
– Don’t say that. You are saddened.
– After Kang Jin, you really grew up a lot. Before Brexit, I couldn’t even show a business card.
-If anyone hears it, you think you raised it.

I got a call from Berkshire Cashier.
As soon as I hung up the phone, Taek-gyu asked.
“What did you say?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
“We want to have lunch together.”
“Do you just want to eat?”
“Huh.”
In fact, having lunch with Warren Boat is a huge thing.
He auctions lunches with him every year and donates the proceeds. Last year’s winning bid was .7 million.
The amount of money that we eat and chat with for lunch is over 4 billion won.
Hearing this, Taek-gyu blinked his eyes.
“What are you eating for 4 billion?”
“The menu is nothing special.”
“But why is it so expensive?”
“It’s important to get advice on life.”
As my sister and sister say, the richer you are, the less money you spend in vain. If you can get something from talking, 4 billion won’t be a waste of money.
Warren Vott is not just an outstanding investor, he is respectable as a human being.
He was famous for being frugal despite having a fortune of 90 trillion won. Whereas the average rich live in a mansion with a helipad and multiple swimming pools, he lives in the first small house he married and bought. He has been driving a Cadillac DTS for over 10 years.
In the morning, they usually eat McMorning. If the investment performance the previous day is good, they eat a set menu with pancakes added, and if the performance is bad, they eat a cheap a la carte menu.
“Where are you spending all that money? Do you take it with you when you die?”
“I will donate.”
He has long announced that he will donate most of his fortune.
Like some Korean chaebols, he is not using donations as an expedient to pass on management rights, but he is really going to donate to society.
Taehyung nodded his head.
“He’s a good grandfather.”
Anyway, there is no reason to refuse when other people ask you to eat lunch for 4 billion won for free. As I asked for a meeting from the other side, I was told to decide the place, number of people, menu, etc.
We crossed over to the building next door.
After hearing this, Eli jumped in joy and embraced me.
“really? Will I be able to meet Warren Boat too?”
“of course. let’s go together.”
On the other hand, Hyunjoo noona calmly nodded her head.
“Okay. I will leave out the schedule for that day too.”
It didn’t seem like anything, but I could tell from the inside that I liked him very much. I don’t really need to say that though.
But Taek-gyu dared to say that.
“uh! I think my sister is very happy. Are you that good?”
Then, Hyunjoo noona immediately made an impression.
“shut up.”
