Chapter 44
When the situation was settled, Go Jun-hyung spoke to Ellie.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Junhyung Goh. What’s your business in Korea?” (Nice to meet you. I’m Junhyung Go. What made you come to Korea?)
Perhaps thanks to his elite education from a young age, his pronunciation is fluent enough to be comparable to a native speaker.
She answered Ellie in English too.
“I have an important business to take care of.”
“May I ask what it is?”
“I’m sorry but it’s confidential.” (I can’t tell you because it’s a secret.)
“Oh, I am sorry.” (That’s right)
He took his wallet out of his pocket and held out his business card.
“It’s a relationship that we met like this. This is my business card.”
Ellie accepted her business card.
“You work for GH Construction.”
Go Junhyung said with a smile.
“Your father is the president. GH E&C has a deep connection with Golden Gate, did you know?”
Ellie nodded her head.
“In Indonesia, Golden Gate is doing PF for the SOC project that GH E&C took over.”
PF stands for Project Financing.
A large-scale civil engineering project costs a lot of money, and a single company cannot bear this money alone. Therefore, long-term loans from the financial sector are provided with the profitability of the business plan as collateral.
From what I heard, GH E&C has won the road construction project from the Indonesian government, and it seems that Golden Gate is providing the funds.
Ellie also handed her her own business card.
“Nice meeting you.” (It was nice to meet you.)
After watching the two of them having a conversation, Seon-ah turned to me. It’s an expression that you don’t know what you’re thinking.
Go Jun-hyung also came up to me and handed me a business card.
“If you need help, don’t hesitate to call.”
Can I get some help?
Anyway, I accepted the business card.
“Yes, sir.”
Seon-ah said to Go Jun-hyung.
“Come on, brother.”
“Then we will go.”
Go Junhyung opened the passenger seat door. Seon-ah she told me before she got into the car.
“see ya.”
“uh. Good bye.”
Bulleung!
As the engine started, a heavy engine sound resounded, and the Bentley glided out of the parking lot.
I looked at the back of the car and thought.
Bentley isn’t my thing either. Would a Porsche or Maserati be better to buy?
I’m seriously thinking about which car to buy.
“We’ll go too.”
I was about to leave, but Kyung-il asked Eli.
“We are on our way to eat now, would you like to go together?”
Then Eli said.
“Um, can I excuse you?”
The boy quickly nodded his head.
“Sure. As an apology, I will buy the rice.”
“·················ogue.”
Didn’t you side with Hyemi earlier?
Her juniors also said.
“let’s go together.”
“I beg you.”
Ellie looked at me, asking her permission.
“Can I go?”
“of course.”
Somehow, we all headed to the student cafeteria of the Central Library to have a meal together.
Minyoung lowered her voice and spoke to me.
“How long has it been since you were discharged from the military? I envy you.”
“It’s not like that.”
I asked Minyoung.
“I’m on vacation, what did you come to school for?”
“Because of the TOEIC study.”
“Are so many children coming to the study?
“Preparing in advance. When I see seniors who can’t graduate because they can’t get a job, I can’t help but sigh. Next year, I will be in 4th grade. I’m thinking about taking a leave of absence and going to language training.”
If a few things hadn’t happened after I was discharged, would I have been studying various things with similar concerns by now?
* * *
The reason Go Jun-hyung came to school even though he was on vacation was because he had an appointment with the president. Hankuk University is currently building a student dormitory on the campus site, and GH Construction is in charge of the construction.
As his father was the chairman of GH construction company, he took on several duties on his father’s behalf, and a meeting with the president was also part of the work.
But on the way back, he met an unexpected person.
‘Did you say Kang Jin-hoo?
It is common to date and break up in school. So, there’s nothing special about meeting your lover’s ex at school.
But something kept bothering me.
In a capitalist society, having a lot of money is power in itself. Humans are envious or afraid of the power of others.
Because of this, most people were withdrawn in front of him.
Of course, his classmates, seniors, and professors treat him comfortably. But that’s just the way it seems, they know how to bow their heads in front of the power of money. Even the president I just met was the same.
The only exceptions to this are those of similar status or wealth.
By the way······.
I remembered Go Jun-hyung shaking hands with Kang Jin-hoo earlier.
Surprisingly, the opponent did not shrink in the slightest. It was nothing more than a junior’s attitude toward seniors.
He deliberately told him his status and handed him a business card, just in case he didn’t know, but it still looked like nothing was wrong.
Go Junhyung asked while driving.
“Funny kid. He said he dated briefly in first grade?”
Seon-ah turned her head to the side and asked playfully.
“Are you jealous?”
“No way. It’s not that I didn’t know It’s not like I’ve never been in a relationship.”
The first time the late Jun-hyung saw Yun Seon-ah was when she went to a school festival for a while. Then she was with her by her side.
“I was driving a strange car.”
Seon-ah smiled.
“Probably your friend’s car. One of his friends is like that.”
She recalled her friend whom she had been introduced to while dating him.
“My friend’s name is a bit unusual. My name is Taek-gyu.”
“Isn’t there anything special about it?”
“By the way, my last name is Oh. So, Taek-gyu Oh.”
“What? otaku?
“It’s not an otaku, it’s Oh Taek-gyu.”
“Haha, that’s a funny name.”
Go Junhyung burst out laughing.
“By the way, what’s your relationship with the Golden Gate lawyer? Looking at the business card, I saw that he was working in the Asian branch.”
Seon-ah remembered the foreigner she had just met.
She is tall enough to be called a model and has a voluminous body. She was so beautiful that I thought it was a waste to work as a lawyer.
It’s certainly strange for an average college student to be with a Golden Gate lawyer, she said.
But she could guess why.
“The friend’s older sister works at the Golden Gate Asian branch.”
Go Junhyung nodded his head as if convinced.
“Ah, yes? She must have been asked to take a tour of the school.”
“It would be.”
For such a thing, the two seem oddly close. It didn’t look like they were dating, but it was clear that there was something between them.
Do you have any other acquaintances?
There was something else I was more concerned about.
‘It’s different.’
Seon-yi was proud of herself that she was excellent at seeing people.
When she met her not long ago at a drinking party, she was the same as before. But when she met him again today, something changed.
She could recognize it at a glance.
It had been less than a few months since we met.
‘What the hell happened in between?’
if not······.
“Shall we go to the department store and do some shopping?”
Seon-ah nodded at Ko Jun-hyung’s words.
“Ok.”
She pushed the thoughts out of her head.
‘It must be just an illusion.’
* * *
How long have you been learning this?
Over the past two years, learning has improved a lot. The biggest improvement is the price.
“It has risen by a thousand won.”
Rich kids don’t even care about the cost of education, but I’ve made hundreds of billions of dollars in just a few months.
As a result, the price increase was immediately noticeable.
Min-young said as if she sighed.
“At least, the students were outraged that they were going to raise another 300 won, so they barely stopped it.”
You may think that it is only 1,000 won, but from the standpoint of a college student, paying an extra 1,000 won a meal is not a formidable expense.
In fact, there are children who eat ramen instead of rice because it is a waste of 1,000 won or 2,000 won.
I got my education and sat down. Breakfast was a five-star hotel breakfast, and lunch is going to be a learning curve.
Likewise, Eli, who had been educated, sat down next to me. The menu she chose is pork cutlet.
“I always wanted to try it when I came to Korea University.”
“why?”
“Because Jessica said the pork cutlet was the best.”
“Um, that’s…”
Not because the pork cutlet is so delicious, but because other menus are vague.
At the restaurant, Ellie was also interested. Students eating at other tables glanced at each other, and juniors from the business administration department who ate at the same place asked questions.
Golden Gate is a dream job that all students who are interested in finding a job in the financial sector want to enter.
Ellie chatted casually, answering her questions kindly. She was talking about this and that with the female juniors, and the sound of laughter was endless as to what was so funny.
As she is doing this, she is like an ordinary college student. Is this your usual personality?
After dinner, we went out.
“See you next.”
“I’ll contact you.”
Minyoung and Kyungil went with her juniors, and we continued to tour the campus.
said Ellie.
“Before, she said she was pretty.”
“Yes? Who?”
Are you talking about Hyemi?(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
“The woman in the Bentley.”
“Ah, are you Seon?”
Ellie nodded her head.
“That’s Sun-ah Yoon. As I heard, she is a beauty.”
I was surprised by that.
“Yes? How do you know Seon-ah?”
“Taek-gyu told me.”
“What are you talking about……?”
“She met and started dating at the beginning of the school year, and she broke up within a year, and then I heard that she took a leave of absence and went to the military.”
“·················ogue.”
She was also very detailed. Why the hell are you talking about someone else’s love story without permission?
Ellie looked at my expression and asked.
“What do you think?”
“it’s nothing.”
She was contemplating how to kill this bastard.
“Do you still like it?”
Is this a question about her Seonah?
I shook her head.
“No. She broke up a long time ago. Right now, it’s just hypermotivation.”
I used to really like it a lot, but it’s all a thing of the past.
There is no need to feel sorry for her past relationship.
Ellie smiled as if she knew nothing.
“i See.”
* * *
We finished the school tour and went round to the university district. After having dinner nearby, the sun was setting.
It takes another hour to get back.
I picked up Ellie and started her car. All along her road, Ellie looked out her window.
“The night view of Seoul is beautiful.”
“Isn’t Hong Kong beautiful?”
I remembered Hong Kong I saw on a travel program. Unlike Seoul, where there are not many high-rise buildings, Hong Kong is a high-rise building paradise. At night, the buildings are colored with colorful lights.
Ellie smiled and said.
“When are you coming to play? Then I will guide you.”
“Okay.”
The car quickly entered Yeongjong-do. When we arrived at the hotel, we parked and went up to the lobby.
Ellie reached out to me.
“It’s back to work from tomorrow. Today’s date was fun.”
We’ve only been together for a day, but it feels like we’ve become closer.
I grabbed that hand.
“Me too.”
