Chapter 91

Soul Food. ―Jin Yu-kyung: What are you doing today? ―Jin Yu-kyung: Did you eat? ―Jin Yu-kyung: Shall I boil some ramen? My schedule in Korea was quite leisurely. Except for Jin Yoo-kyung’s KakaoTalk coming in incredibly loudly. ―Vice President Jeong Beom-tae: The morale of the employees is great since the CEO left. ―Vice President Jeong Beom-tae: The staff and actors are overflowing with enthusiasm. They are poised to sweep the academy or the Golden Globes with the CEO’s energy. It was Vice President Jung Beom-tae who was still good at flattering. They say to dream big, but maybe the Academy or Golden Globe is a bit excessive. “Uh ha ha.” Myungwoo Oh said that Korea was boring after he went to Dream Art Rainbow. After actually meeting the Earth girls, he said he was greatly disappointed. I had to meet the opposite sex group or the DK group president, so I ended up not attending the autograph session. “why. Wasn’t it pretty?” “It was pretty. The real thing is prettier. Do you feel like your little face just shines? There was not a pretty place in every nook and cranny, from the hands to the ears.” “But why?” As long as you’re pretty, most men will like you. “It existed in reality.” “Yes?” “A time without hope. In the days when I struggled with the urgency of survival and lived hard, girl groups were my romance and my utopia.” “… … .” “Looking at those kids makes me happy. Shall we say that bright and positive energy is just pouring out? But when I met the Earth girls, they were ordinary people. Did you eat dinner together? I worry about eating and gaining weight, and I eat unbalancedly.” “… … .” “I dreamed of a love that would never come true, but when I met him in real life, I was disappointed because he was human. Do you understand this tender sensitivity?” When others say this, it may sound like a joke, but to Oh Myung-woo, he knew it was sincere. It was not uncommon to see this guy so frustrated. That must have been how much she loved girl groups. “Cheer.” “I don’t know. Life is difficult to know how to live in the future. even… … .” “Even?” “Jeongyeon, the main center, said I was cute.” “By the way?” As a friend, when I see him sometimes, Oh Myung-woo has a cute side. Because he has a round face and a chubby body, and the person himself is on the mild side. I wasn’t popular in my middle and high school days, but when I came out to society, I felt like I was genuine. “Are you too human?” “… … .” “I wanted Iron Man. I think I met Robert Downey Jr. at a sauna.” Oh Myung-woo, whose long-held illusions have been shattered. It was Lee Jong-yeop who was at least excited about coming to Korea. I gave him a vacation because he didn’t have to follow me around every day. It is said that he enjoys the approach of women passing by on the street while sitting at a terrace cafe. It is said that the culture of Gangnam has changed a lot due to Corona, so the club is dying, and it is said that they often meet while drinking coffee lightly at a cafe. “Myungwoo.” While looking for words to comfort Oh Myung-woo, I remembered one thing. “Let’s go get some soup or something.” When I got a part-time job during my college days, I went to eat soup. Satisfaction from a hearty meal. Now that I have a lot of money, my love for rice soup has not cooled in the slightest. Rice soup is not soul food for nothing. I didn’t know much about the world until now. ‘I confidently yelled at Kim Shin, but this won’t be easy.’ Kim Sang-ki was determined. It will be difficult for new companies to break into any market. From founding a game team and supplying coaches, managers, and players… …. “I want to join the Earth Games team.” “Yes?” It was very embarrassing to find out from the players. “Isn’t Bear-nim considered to be the best in the first team?” “I think the Earth Games team has a vision.” “What is your vision for the newly formed gaming team?” A bear player smiles softly when asked b question by the captain. “I am a fan of CEO Kim Shin.” “Ah. Yes.” “I have faith that the Earth Game Team will surpass Korea and become the best in the world.” The players who liked Kim Shin and said they would join the team were at least common. “I… … I’m here to join the Earth Games team.” “A chobie player? No, why is Korea’s top-class professional gamer?” “I like the Earth Game Team.” “So why? Is it because of CEO Kim Shin?” “Well, there is that too.” A player who is not willing to reveal the reason. At the contract spot, he only asked for one thing. “Can’t you give me your salary in source coins?” “… … .” Although it is a new game team, the gamers were equipped to the highest level, and they entered the league by recruiting directors and coaches. ‘There must be a territorial attitude from other gaming teams.’ I thought that territoriality would exist during interviews and matches. “The Earth Game Team? I think it is desirable for the activation of domestic game leagues. We ask for your support and interest in the Earth Games team.” The most popular team, DKT1, welcomed the Earth Game Team. “I think the Earth Game Team has enough competitiveness to advance to the top 4 in terms of skills.” Lee Sung Galaxy also gave a generous evaluation. ‘Now that it’s like this, I have no choice but to get high grades.’ Kim Sang-ki, as the general manager, was more burdened because of that. The game team maintained 3rd place with win, win, loss, loss, win, win, win. Although it is early in the league, it has been evaluated that the performance is gradually improving. -Kim Shin: You’re doing well. Take it easy. ―Kim Sang-ki: Thank you! I’ll work hard. Kim Sang-ki thought to himself. ‘Can life be this easy?’ 〈Kim Shin, find a soup restaurant near his house〉 〈Guests eating soup at the restaurant. “It’s Kim Shin.”＞ 〈Kim Shin even paid for the meals of his guests〉 Even eating at a soup restaurant becomes an article. In America, many people were much more famous than I, so trivial articles didn’t come out. In Korea, my articles were exposed on the front page or the main screen whenever possible. ―Jin Yu-gyeong: I like soup, too. ―Jin Yu-kyung: Soup is delicious. ―Kim Shin: It didn’t look like it would. ―Jin Yoo-gyeong: You call someone a liar. I also eat vongole pasta with rice, right? I chatted with Jin Yu-gyeong from time to time, but I didn’t feel the need to meet her. ‘Time is precious.’ As business is growing rapidly in the US, I can’t afford to spend too much time in Korea. ―Kim Shin: I’ll buy you pasta in America. ―Jin Yu-kyung: Really? ―Kim Shin: I thought it would be more comfortable to watch in the US rather than Korea. ―Kim Shin: I came to Korea a long time ago, but don’t be sad because I didn’t meet you. Jin Yu-gyeong was a person who was very helpful in this way. ―Jin Yoo-kyung: Not at all? Didn’t you even think about that? ―Jin Yoo-gyeong: America is much more comfortable! Much better than Korea! There were not many schedules left in Korea. ‘I only need to meet a few people.’ I visited the grandmother of the landlord when I lived in a semi-basement house. Even though my grandmother was old, her health wasn’t uncomfortable, but I wanted to see her before it was too late, since it’s been two years. A grandmother who lives with her daughter’s family in an ordinary apartment. “This is a small gift.” “Yes?” “It’s nothing. Please feel free to go to the hospital.” When she visited Dr. Lee Ho-yeon at Mirae Hospital, she donated 10 billion won and registered the Honors Club in the name of her grandmother, which provides free medical treatment for the rest of her life. I want to give it in money, but if I just give it, I think it will be burdensome or rejected, so I prepared what I need. Grandmother held my hand with her wrinkled hand. “I saw people struggling like that. It worked so well.” “Yes… … .” Tears welled up at the words, mixed with sincerity. The person who thinks of me like family, like them, is the grandmother of the landlord. “Should we go eat?” “Yes?” “It’s been a while since you said you were coming, so I made chicken stir-fried soup.” It’s been a long time since I ate chicken stir-fried soup with my grandmother’s sincerity. It feels like a little bit of spicy taste. ‘Breakfast is rice soup, and in the afternoon it’s chicken stir-fried soup. It’s a perfect day.’ And when I left the apartment, I talked for a while with the grandmother’s daughter. I’ve seen it a few times since I’ve lived under the ring for a long time, and I’ve been given detergent and fruit. I think I’ve lived my life without relying on anyone, but if you get to know me, I’ve been considerate of the people around me. “old lady.” “Yes. CEO.” “Please feel free to call me. old lady.”Yesyes. Is that so?” Ordinary old woman. I heard that my son and daughter are in middle school, but I heard from a grandmother a long time ago that it was difficult to send a private academy while working a double income. At that time, I only heard it in passing, but I remembered it and was able to reciprocate. “From now on, I will pay for the children’s education.” “Yes?” “Because it’s my grandmother’s family. If there is anything I can help with, I would like to help.” How many meals did you get from the owner of the house, the grandmother? Compared to that, the cost of private education is nothing. “And in a few months, I’d like to move house.” “A house?” “Yes. The apartment you live in is fine, but I want my grandma to live in a better place. I want to do it secretly because my grandmother might feel burdened. Aren’t you uncomfortable?” “Aww. Thank you, m.e. If only the mother and the children could live in a better environment.” Grandmother struggled when she was young, and even owned a house, so she was not poor. However, the house that was lived in the semi-basement was not sold yet, and it is said that it is waiting for redevelopment. After all, money has to be tied up for a long time, so if you can help, I think it’s better to help. “Student, thank you so much.” “No.” Having lived since college, she was more familiar with the word student. And the next person I met was my uncle. “Long time no see. uncle.” “Okay. It’s good to see you living well.” My big-built uncle greeted me. My cousins and nieces, and nephews looked at me as if they were curious. A grateful person who helped my father little by little when he was alive or after the funeral. It was memorable that he put 500,000 won in congratulatory money at the wedding and gave a good word. “Seriously, you got a good bridesmaid. God. I am really happy that you are getting paid for your hard work.” I got a divorce from Han Chae-won, and rather than living hard, it was thanks to luck. My uncle operated a small car center. “Uncle, is there anything I can help you with?” “none. It is enough to see you live well.” I saw my cousins on my way out after having dinner at my uncle’s house. Two brothers and one sister. Since my father fell into gambling, I hadn’t been around except for my uncle, so it was awkward. Even if we bumped into each other on the street, we might have passed each other without knowing. “Sungjin hyung.” “Yes.” Despite being the eldest hyung, we never met when we were young, so it’s awkward. “I will contact you later through my secretary.” “Okay. See you next.” I spent a week in Korea and returned to the US. I rent a large aircraft and move it. ‘Since I’ve made a lot of money, I should spend it in a place like this.’ As soon as we arrived at the San Francisco airport, the cooler weather greeted us. Two weeks passed while focusing on the business of Earth Resources. 〈U.S. exceeds 1,000 deaths from coronavirus every day〉 〈U.S., coronavirus surges nationwide〉 Since August, Corona has been changing the United States’ defense policy. California has over 1 million total confirmed cases, and a night curfew has been enforced. Schools were closed, and the wearing of masks was made compulsory. No matter how many people die, articles appear, and in the United States alone, there are more than 1,000 deaths every day. ―Vice President Seon Jae-yong: Vaccine production has begun. A little earlier than planned. There will be no disruption to the supply of 230 million doses this year. ―CEO Heejin Oh: The vaccine will be shipped from next month. DK Bioscience is doing its best. South Korean vaccine companies have started production.
