The Chairman Who Has No Regrets Episode 185 – In America (6)
So this is what it was like here, so this place has changed so much. There are things that are different from when I first set foot on American soil 10 years ago, and there are also things that are the same in New York now.
Crack, crack.
“hmm.”
Walking around Central Park in high heels might not be as easy as it sounds. As if to prove it, Choi Min-ah’s brow was furrowed.
“Don’t you have any shoes?”
Forcing a smile at my question.
“Oh, it’s okay. I’m used to it.”
“I’m used to it.”
The absurdity came first.
Sports brand.
And while working for a brand that is famous for rubber shoes, and as a Ppex employee stationed overseas, I am used to those high heels.
“What are your responsibilities?”
“We are in the same sales department as Manager Kim Kang-min.”
“I see. How many people were dispatched as resident missionaries?”
“There are three in total, including me.”
“Who is in charge?”
“This is Manager Kim Kang-min.”
“Isn’t there a separate manager?”
“There is none in the branch.”
He nodded and asked, staring blankly at the seals playing in the water.
“What is your relationship with Mr. Choi Tae-woong?”
“Cousin Oh… Huh?”
He nodded.
But it seems they aren’t directly related by blood, they are cousins.
“Are you studying abroad?”
Choi Min-a, whose face was bright red, did not answer my question and looked very embarrassed.
“Oh, I told you not to talk about it…”
“I guess the company doesn’t know.”
“phew-”
Choi Min-a, who had a helpless expression with a sigh, spoke with a relaxed face as if taking off her mask.
“It’s a secret from Manager Kim Kang-min, you know that?”
He shrugged.
Because there’s no particular reason to talk about it.
“Are you studying abroad?”
“Well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. I’ll think about it a bit.”
Accident, I don’t know what it was, but in these days, the only things that could be considered accidents were usually demonstrations.
“university?”
Choi Min-ah nods her head to the subtle question.
“A corporation? Why do you set it up?”
“Because I need it.”
“That’s unusual… I heard you’re a high school student, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I’m your older sister.”
“Yes, I guess so.”
Choi Min-ah said with a breathless laugh.
“Usually when you say it like this, you say, ‘Please speak comfortably.’ Isn’t that right?”
“I don’t think we’re comfortable with each other.”
“You’re as prickly as I’ve heard.”
“Did Mr. Choi Tae-woong tell you to report my movements?”
Choi Min-ah said with a bashful smile.
“Hey, there’s no way Taewoong oppa would entrust me with such an important matter. I guess Manager Kim Kangmin will report to him, right?”
“I guess it wasn’t study abroad but exile?”
“Pfft, this isn’t even the Joseon Dynasty. What kind of exile is this? Well, it’s similar.”
He nodded.
“Be careful with drugs.”
“Oh my – if I get caught, I’ll have to have my head shaved by my uncle and go to a temple. What did he say? Anyway, he said that worldly life is better.”
“Isn’t this world better even if I roll around in dog shit?”
“That or that.”
As you can see, a tomboy.
I think I know why I’m here. I’m the type of person who has to say what needs to be said, but it’s not always a good idea to say the right thing in Korea right now. Especially not during the primary.
As I watch the seals happily frolic, the side of my head feels hot. So much so that I can feel Choi Min-ah staring at me.
“I’m asking this because I feel like I absolutely have to ask it.”
I turned my head to meet her eyes at her question.
“What do you think about women who are older than you?”
“Phuhat.”
I burst out in shock at the truly unexpected question. It was absurd that they sent Choi Min-ah to me for that role, thinking that she was a company that grew up with bloodlines.
“Don’t laugh, I’m serious now.”
“It’s a problem I haven’t thought about.”
“Do it now, think.”
“Hmm…”
Not for a single moment.
Not even once.
I never imagined anything about who I would marry.
It wasn’t because I became interested in Choi Min-ah, but it was a thought that suddenly occurred to me because my mother would talk about her grandchildren whenever she got drunk.
“First of all, I think there should be no problems in giving birth to the child.”
“Oh! I’m so healthy! I’m only twenty-three this year, I’m in the prime of my life!”
My older sisters come to mind.
“I want to have as many children as possible.”
“Oh my… my body is going to be ruined.”
Choi Min-ah looks around and touches various parts of my body as if she feels sorry.
“Raising a child is no easy task. Do children just grow up on their own after being born? They all need the love of their parents.”
Well, I guess so.
“Having a big family makes me happy.”
I also saw my sisters getting angry.
Even the smiling face.
Even the sight of someone crying.
Just having them there must be a certain happiness for me.
So, wouldn’t it be the same for my child?
I vaguely have high hopes.
“Hey… that’s not necessarily true.”
Choi Min-ah speaks with a trembling expression, as if she cannot agree with what I say. She is familiar with the general situation of the primary, so it is not difficult to understand.
My brother’s death.
The position of the chairman was usurped because of him.
And the chairman’s position will be passed on to the current chairman’s child, not the older brother’s child.
“I guess you and your brother aren’t on good terms?”
“Wow, you’re poking my chest so casually?”
“Wasn’t this supposed to be a Q&A session?”
“That’s right, it’s not my brother, it’s my nemesis, my nemesis.”
“okay.”
Choi Min-a said, touching her chin with her right hand as if she had made up her mind about something.
“Okay! I’ll give in to five.”
“I don’t even think about who I’ll give rice cakes to.”
“Why? I’m not the type to get that into it.”
“I don’t care.”
“and.”
Choi Min-ah shook her head as if in admiration.
“Also, other than having lots of babies, is there anything else you wish for?”
“I hope you get along well with your sisters-in-law.”
“Wow- what a dog…”
“What?”
“No, ahem.”
Choi Min-ah shook her head and then sighed deeply as she spoke.
“I don’t know who will be our young master’s bride, but the threshold is too high.”
“Is that so?”
“Sigh – this is why men are like this.”
Actually, it didn’t matter if I didn’t get married. I never regretted not getting married in my entire life.
“Still, I hope the shareholders will be happy.”
Choi Min-ah, who was leaning on the safety fence with both arms and staring blankly at the calm waves, continued to speak, wondering if he had completely given up on me or if he had no intention of faithfully carrying out the mission he had been given.
“Because the family is harmonious.”
It’s true that you have a lot.
It doesn’t seem to work out for the better. The more you have, the more you lose. That was one of the reasons I never got married in my entire life.
The property I will leave behind when I leave.
It became a feeling of regret and guilt.
Because I wanted to go back to those stupid people.
“Sigh- This isn’t the Joseon Dynasty, so I’m getting married. I’m twenty-three now. Isn’t that right, Mr. Joo?”
He shrugged his shoulders at Choi Min-ah’s words, who had become like a tomboy again, as if she had shaken it all off.
“Right? Well, is marriage really necessary?”
“I just can’t understand why that’s considered filial piety.”
hmm.
As for me, I am an aspiring filial son.
That part is difficult to affirm.
“Hey, Mr. Joo, it’s the same for you too.”
If adults consider getting married and having grandchildren as one of the virtues of filial piety, then I thought I should consider getting married in this life.

Kim Kang-min quickly walked and stuffed the hotdog he was holding into his mouth. Even though he was moving his mouth quickly, his brain was not processing the food, but rather thinking back to Jeon Kang’s words.
‘Enjoying a formal dinner can be energizing at times, but in the busy capital markets, it’s a waste of time.’
Those seemingly insignificant words exchanged over a hot dog would not leave Kim Kang-min’s mind.
The words and actions of the character Jeon Kang that have been shown since yesterday.
Kim Kang-min thought he was a very calculating person who considered efficiency and cost. In addition, he also talked about how to use his time in a valuable way.
‘In Wall Street, where every second counts, there are few things worse than fast food.’
Because I think the person’s sincerity is revealed in the trivial remarks of the previous lecture that mention time several times.
Vroom.
Kim Kang-min started the car.
He could tell what he had to do.
‘Don’t waste my valuable time.’
Although he didn’t say anything, Kim Kang-min felt that way from Jeon Kang’s entire attitude.
He gave different answers to his own questions about whether he could give information from the morning, and eventually gave the information.
There was a plausible and convincing explanation, but I never believed the last line, that he was betting on America’s downfall.
“Why… do you want to believe it?”
Kim Kang-min muttered to himself as he shifted gears. He still couldn’t tell if Jeon Kang’s words were true or not, but he thought that he smelled more dangerous and sweet than any other person he had ever met.
Unlike the smell of poverty that was deeply ingrained in his own body, a deadly sweet smell vibrated from the body of Jeon Kang, who was poorer than him.
What is that smell? It’s a strange smell that is somehow familiar, yet unpleasant, and yet so desirable.
“For now.”
Although he couldn’t tell exactly what the smell was, there was one thing Kim Kang-min knew.
Exactly what Jeon Kang wants.
Kim Kang-min’s car, which was speeding along, is parked in a parking lot on the road in the middle of a forest of buildings in New York.
He got off in a hurry, quickly locked the door as if he didn’t want to waste even a second, and started walking faster than the joggers, weaving through the forest of buildings.
“I would like to inquire about incorporation.”
Then, I started going here and there to accountants and tax accountants, listening to information, compiling information, listening to information, compiling information, and repeating this process.
Countless buildings in New York.
And there are countless people playing with numbers.
Taxes were the enemy of all people with money, regardless of whether they had a lot of money or not. If it was possible to reduce taxes, the right thing to do was to reduce them.
‘Efficiency and time.’
Kim Kang-min was planning to make what Jeon-gang wanted happen. Jeon-gang refused to pay for a 5-star hotel even though it wasn’t his money.
Kim Kang-min could infer what value he placed on money just from that appearance alone.
The sight of someone shoving an excessive amount of food down their throat because they said it was a free breakfast, and Jeon Kang getting a free 10-cent drink with just a few words.
That appearance gave Kim Kang-min confidence.
“after-”
I’ve already been to dozens of places and night has fallen on New York. But the lights in the forest of buildings won’t go out.
Until the darkness of the forest came, Kim Kang-min planned to run around busily. Kim Kang-min, who had forgotten that his favorite shirt was soaked in sweat and turning yellow, continued to walk through the forest of buildings.
“Shit.”
We’ve been wandering for a while, and now darkness has come.
When he compiled the information he had, he was able to come up with a list of which states were best suited, but he was unable to reduce the costs of hiring a tax accountant or accountant.
In the end, Kang-min, who had to move to find the talent he wanted, was angry at the fact that he could not gain the money or time. He also did not understand why he was moving like this. Could it be that he was possessed by that deadly and dangerous smell? Could it be some kind of dangerous drug? Kim Kang-min’s vision was narrowing to the point where he began to have vain thoughts.
It may be only natural that a person who is longing for a goal cannot see what is different around him.
dump.
Kim Kang-min, sitting on a bench next to a red public telephone booth.
Only then did the forgotten hunger come back to me, and the soles of my feet, where I had been moving busily, felt a hot pain as if they were on fire.
“after-”
As he was clearing his throat with a long sigh, a homeless man in shabby clothes handed him a tin can with rust in some places. Inside the can were coins and a crumpled one-dollar bill.
And then there’s this awful stench.
“uh?”
At that moment, that stench.
For some reason, Kim Kang-min felt familiar. As he hurriedly took out his wallet from his bosom, the homeless man swallowed.
Kim Kang-min took out the dollars that were in his wallet.
“Sniff, sniff.”
He sniffs around and rubs dollars in my face as if telling me to go away like a drug-sniffing dog.
“This is it, this is it.”
The smell coming from the whole river.
So dangerous, yet so sweet.
That smell.
“Money, money.”
What he longed for.
What he dreamed of.
It was the smell of wealth.
‘If you rush too much, you might get sick.’
‘When you have free time, you can see your mistakes.’
Only then did I recall the last words Jeon Kang had said.
If what Jeon Kang really wanted was to save money and time.
“iced coffee!”
Kim Kang-min suddenly got up from his seat.
Like a lightning strike to the head.
He was able to realize what Jeon Kang truly wanted.
And at that sight, the homeless man started to run away. It seemed as if the guy who was frantically throwing money at his face was going to run towards him.
