A Chairman Who Has No Regrets - Chapter 163



Only Noblemtl

Episode 163 – Is this a trip?

A place to enjoy the pool and have breakfast. My younger sister sat there with a half-asleep look on her face, my mother was excited to try a little bit of everything as if she was new to the food, and my older sister was reading a book while eating the food that my mother gave her, saying it was delicious.

“Sister, did you study all night?”

“I guess I’m having trouble adjusting to the time difference.”

The younger sister shook her head at the sight of her older sister studying with dark circles under her eyes that reached down to her knees.

“It’s not about adjusting to the time difference, it’s just about wanting to study?”

I also nodded my head in agreement with my little sister’s words.

“This guy.”

It looks like you want to study since you can’t say no. But since you came on a trip, you should enjoy the trip properly.

“Why are Kang and Taesu so shy?”

“Tsk.”

“Ugh.”

Taesu and I shook our heads. We couldn’t say that the exercise was too much. Or that the bikini was too much.

“We too, I guess we’re adjusting to the time difference.”

My little sister seems to be in better condition after eating, so she eats a lot.

“Eat moderately, sis. You should try other foods outside.”

“This is free, that is money.”

At the little sister’s words, the mother and the older sister opened their eyes wide for a moment and then busily brought in food.

“uh…”

Take all the mulberry out of it.

Enjoying foreign food is one of the joys of traveling, but I felt like it would be difficult to eat lunch if I filled my stomach like that here.

“I made a reservation at a nice restaurant for lunch, so eat moderately.”

“This place is also great, but what- you have to save money to live well-”

My mother was driving in the wedge, and my older and younger sisters were nodding and continuously putting food in their mouths. It was delicious, so there was nothing to complain about, but something was disappointing.

Director Baek nodded in agreement next to him and shouted.

“Hey! Let’s settle this here by tonight! Hit it in!”

It was something he said to the staff.

“Yes? There is a production cost, right?”

Director Baek speaks with sparks in his eyes at the assistant director’s words.

“Didn’t you hear what the lady said? You have to save money to live well!”

Those people came to work, but we are here to travel.

Anyway, some of the staff came back with a few more plates with blank faces, and I said to Director Baek.

“Director.”

“Yes, Jeon Gang-ssi.”

“I guess I’ll have to cancel my lunch schedule and just change it to a market tour.”

Since the broadcasting station was in charge of the vehicles, it was necessary to coordinate the schedule in advance.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Director Baek nodded readily, and we ate breakfast for a full two hours.

As I sip my coffee with an expression that makes me wonder if everything will fit on that small boat, my little sister coughs in vain to shake off her embarrassment and speaks.

“What are you looking at? Don’t you know that you can eat like this without gaining weight? Ugh.”

I feel so bloated that I even trim it.

“No, it’s uncomfortable to eat at a moderate pace.”

“When are you going to try foreign food?”

I don’t think it was eaten with that meaning at all.

“Ugh-”

After eating dessert, we went back to our room and prepared to leave. As I was getting dressed and about to leave, Taesu asked me cautiously.

“Hey, puppy.”

“uh.”

“When did you have a mixed bath…”

I covered Taesu’s mouth.

“That’s, the guys at night.”

“iced coffee.”

Taesu nodded as if he understood.

I had agreed to meet Herchan at 7pm, so I figured I’d be busy today.

That way, my sisters will be able to stretch out.

My sisters and mother dressed up to the nines.

“Hey, miss. Do you have a boyfriend?”

As I was taught, I asked my mother.

My mother opened her eyes wide for a moment, then laughed and linked arms with me.

“Oh my, what should I do with three children?”

“Hey, let’s go on a date today.”

“Um, is that so?”

My little sister said with a snicker.

“I oppose this marriage!”

My eldest sister smiles and gives me a thumbs up. It’s not that my beautiful mother, she really does look more like a virgin when she comes to a foreign country.

It’s a diet, but since you walk a fair amount of distance and eat at restaurants, it’s only natural that you’ll burn a lot of calories.

Yesterday at the swimming pool, there were more than a few Westerners who were impressed by my mother’s body, so it wasn’t just a compliment full of lies.

Vroom.

The forklift started moving.

Our target market is about 25 minutes by car from here.

“wow-”

The older sisters and mother were amazed by the scenery outside the car window, and they didn’t seem to want to leave the car window. Taesu, too, was no different from them, and he didn’t seem to want to take his head off the exotic scenery outside the car window, even though his breath filled the window.

“Director, there’s something nice over there. Can I take a look?”

“Isn’t that good?”

The car stopped in front of a building that appeared to be a cathedral just five minutes after departure.

Taesu, his mother, and his sisters all got out of the car without saying a word and looked up at the tall cathedral, expressing their admiration.

“Oh my, it really does sound like a castle.”

“Really, Mom. Doesn’t it look like a princess might pop out from there?”

“Hahaha, that’s right. Daughter! Come over here and I’ll take a picture of you that will make Romeo blush.”

After saying that, he rewinds the film in his film camera.

“Dog, what is that building?”

My older sister’s question wasn’t that difficult, so I could answer it easily.

“It looks like a cathedral.”

“Ahhh – it’s a cathedral – it must be really old, right?”

“Based on the architectural style, it is Romanesque, so it must have been built around the 10th to 12th century.”

“Oh my, that’s a really old building?”

“It’s so well preserved. I heard that Germany also lost a lot of its treasures during World War II.”

“This is the first time I’ve heard of the Romanesque style.”

“Well, unless you’re an architecture student, it’s not necessarily necessary knowledge.”

My older sister looked at me with a very proud face and said.

“Our Kang-i really knows everything, doesn’t he?”

“Well, I guess. Aren’t you the winner of the scholarship quiz?”

“Hohoho, that’s right.”

After taking all the pictures of my little sister, my mother quickly turned around and spoke to my big sister.

“Daughter! Stop talking about that boring stuff over there and go over there quickly so Mommy can take a picture of you that would make you look like Snow White.”

My mother must have been so excited that she was speaking in a dialect.

Knock knock, knock knock.

The sound of the film being wound was loud, and my older sister took pictures in all sorts of poses. The next person to be photographed was naturally my mother.

“Huh? Mom, I guess we don’t have any film.”

The mother laughs at the younger sister’s words and takes out a new camera from the large handbag that the older sister had made herself.

“Haha, Mom packed a lot.”

no way.

No, it won’t be.

That big handbag looks heavy, but it can’t possibly be a camera.

Mother puts a yellow sticker on the camera that has run out of film and gives the camera with the blue sticker to her younger sister.

“Okay! I’ll take a picture of you like a queen!”

Knock, click.

“Okay! This time, son! Son, hurry up and go over there. Over there, huh? You know how to be like a prince, right?”

No, I don’t really, I just enjoy looking at it more.

“More arms like this! Right!”

Click.

“The legs are like this! That’s right!”

Click.

“The hand…”

“The feet…”

“The chin…”

“The gaze…”

No, I’m not a model.

“Okay! Done.”

“after-”

Taking pictures is not an easy task.

When Taesu took all the pictures and thought it was over, his mother took out a new camera from her handbag and handed it to Director Baek.

“Director, let’s take a group photo!”

“Oh, yes yes.”

Director Baek receives the camera absentmindedly, and his sisters and mother gather around him. Taesu hesitates and hesitates, wondering whether he should take a picture with them or not.

“Taesu! What are you doing? Come quickly!”

The little sister takes care of Taesu.

“Oh, it’s a family photo…”

“Aren’t friends family?”

When my mother drove the wedge in, Taesu laughed happily and quickly ran behind me and jumped on my back.

“Hey, it’s heavy.”

“Hehe, when will I ever get to ride on your back?”

Was that scene good? Director Baek also smiled and kept pressing the shutter.

At that very moment, the church bell rang, as if to announce the midnight hour.

“wow-”

“Oh my, it’s pretty-”

“It sounds good.”

We all smiled brightly and came closer, as if we were all of the same mind. It was a bit annoying that Taesu was touching my little sister, but I had to endure it for now.

Now that I feel like I’m on vacation, I’m feeling good, so this much is okay.

Anyway, we took pictures in front of the cathedral for about 30 minutes and then got back in the car.

“Oh my, what is that building?”

When I turned my head at my mother’s words, a building of a different style from the one I had just seen was standing there, solid and sharp.

Squeak.

The car stopped again 5 minutes after starting.

“Daughter! Stand over there!”

A scene that I’ve seen somewhere before is playing again.

“Dog, what is that building?”

“Um, it looks like it’s being used as a building?”

“Is that building old too?”

“Oh, it looks like the Gothic style because it has a vertically tall and monotonous structure, so it must have been built in a style that was popular around the 12th to 16th centuries.”

“wow-”

So I took pictures for another 30 minutes.

“Oh my! That thing looks so magical—it looks like something out of a fairy tale.”

Squeak.

The car stopped again after 5 minutes.

“Daughter, stand over there!”

At mother’s command, the younger sister stands in the position that she was told to take.

My older sister looks at me and asks.

“Dog, what is that building?”

“Oh, it looks like it was built during the Renaissance period, seeking harmony with the universe. It must have been built around the 15th to 17th century.”

Another 30 minutes.

“Oh my god!”

Squeak.

“daughter!”

“huh!”

Now, they don’t even tell me where to stand.

My older sister also looks at me with her eyes without asking what it is.

“Oh, that’s in the Baroque architectural style…”

Another 30 minutes.

“Oh my god!”

Squeak.

Another 30 minutes.

“Oh?”

Squeak.

Another 30 minutes.

“What’s wrong?”

Squeak.

Another 30 minutes.

Taesu tapped my shoulder with a bony expression.

“Hey, Jeon Gang.”

“uh.”

“…Why does it feel more comfortable to be with Uncle Herchan?”

For a moment, the gates of hell that I had been on since morning flashed through my mind.

“hmm…”

For some reason, I sympathized with what he said. I quickly shook my head. My mother and sisters were enjoying themselves, so how could I compare to that?

Another 30 minutes like that.

“Oh my?”

Squeak.

Because the colors are different.

Because the heights are different.

Because they look different.

Because the design is different.

Because it’s different.

Our car kept going for a short while before it had to stop.

“That, a former student?”

“yes.”

Director Baek spoke carefully.

“I think we should save film too.”

“Yes, I agree.”

I fully understood what Director Baek meant because the same picture kept repeating. I had already drawn all the pictures in the first three or so.

“Mom! But aren’t you using the camera too much? It must be really expensive.”

Are you asking that now?

When my younger sister asked why I skipped breakfast to save money, my mother looked through her handbag and said,

“Oh, I see. I’ve already used up everything.”

At Mother’s answer, the staff, Taesu, and I all opened our eyes wide and cheered.

“Then what? I couldn’t take many pictures here, Mom?”

Mom answered with a big smile.

“daughter?”

“huh!”

Suddenly, my older sister unzipped the large backpack she was carrying on her back.

“Sir, no way.”

All the men looked with one mind and one heart at the hand of their eldest sister, which was deep inside her bag.

There the camera came out.

The only good thing was that it was a film camera, not a disposable camera.

“Huh? This isn’t disposable?”

The younger sister smacks her lips as if she feels sorry. The older sister smiles as if to tell her not to worry and taps her backpack.

“Hey, don’t worry, there’s plenty of film here.”

Surely that big bag is all film? Surely not, surely not.

I said to my older sister with a hollow laugh.

“No, what, you robbed the whole camera house?”

My mother opened her eyes wide at my words and asked.

“Oh my, did the river see us?”

Why is this real?

Why do you have so many disposable cameras? Did you buy all the film and then buy disposable cameras because that wasn’t enough?

“Why… is your guts so big in such a strange place?”

At my words, my little sister put me in a headlock and said.

“You punk! Shouldn’t you at least look at the pictures of the people in the neighborhood who couldn’t travel?”

No, I’ve already taken hundreds of pictures, how can I look at thousands or tens of thousands of pictures?

“I’m going to hang these pictures on the wall of the store. Suyeong said it would be very aesthetically pleasing.”

absoluteness.

Suyeong shouldn’t marry her older sister.

I decided to do so.

Another 30 minutes.

“Oh my god!”

Couldn’t you have heard what your mother said?

The assistant director in charge of driving doesn’t stop.

“Mom? Daughter?”

Then the eldest sister lifted her head from her book, smiled brightly, and spoke to the assistant director.

“Director, please stop.”

The specialty of my older sister, who smiles with her mouth but not her eyes. Or madness.

“Okay! Should I back you up?”

Assistant Director, I definitely heard that guy.

“No- what kind of photo is this! You should be traveling. Are you here for a wedding photo shoot?”

At my words, my younger and older sisters opened their eyes wide.

“Sister! Didn’t Auntie Ok-kyung pack you a dress or something?”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

“Oh! Let’s put that on and take another picture!”

“Oh my! Guys, that’s a great idea!”

In an instant, the men sitting in the car glared at me as if they were going to kill me.

I slowly turned my head.

“Well, but there’s no groom.”

When my mother said that she was sorry, my older sister looked at me and said.

“The river sent a suit too.”

Is this a trip?
