Maintenance (2)
My mind went blank.

Min-ki ended up hanging up the phone without getting anything out of it.

It looks like it was made like that on purpose. Hahahahaha………You fucking son of a bitch, XXXX!!!

“Okay. Welcome to the military physical. First, please sit down here and take out your ID. First, we will take a personality test.”

Min-ki was taking a personality test.

The problem is a bit like that.

what’s this?

Problem 7. I picked up a bullet in the unit. What should I do?

1) Secretly pick it up, hide it, then take it with you on vacation and show it off to your lover.

2) Step on it further with your feet and bury it completely in the ground so that it can never be found again.

3) Report to the officer on duty immediately.

4) When you go out on guard duty, put it in the gun you are given and shoot it at your comrades to see if it actually fires.

‘Is this a problem now? Wow… But why is that guy next to me struggling with question 7? Is this really the Republic of Korea??’

Min-ki checked it with all his heart.

‘Wait a minute. The problem is, is this a personality test meant to weed out the maladjusted? If you fail the personality test, does that mean you won’t have to go to the military? No way….?? No. That’s possible. What if you checked the box that says you’ll shoot if given a bullet? Would you really send someone like that to the military? It’d be 100% an accident? Hmm… Okay.’

After that, Min-ki started checking things in an odd way.

‘Surely they wouldn’t send a guy with this kind of mentality to the military. Hahaha. That’s a good idea~ A good idea.’

“Okay. Everyone who is being called now, please come forward.”

“Number 021 Choi Mal-dong, number 054, advisor. Number 077. Jeong Min-gi. Number 096, sergeant Park.”

Min-ki stepped forward.

Looking at the people who were called out, they all looked normal.

‘Why did you call?’

“Okay. These four people, go to the room next door.”

“yes.”

Min-ki and three men go to the next room.

“Ah~ Oh no. There are always these types of people. Do you think that if you fail the personality test, you won’t have to go to the military? Oh~ Oh. Are you stupid? Are you stupid? Oh. Are you saying the same thing? You guys. Let’s solve this again.”

Suddenly the atmosphere changed completely.

The four people who felt intimidated all sat still and solved the problem as they were told.

The questions are a little different, and the number of questions is also much higher.

Question 1. What do I usually think about?

1) I feel like I want to die.

2) Whenever I see a knife, I feel like picking it up and stabbing someone.

3) I have no thoughts. I am an alien without a brain.

4) I just try to do as my parents tell me to do and become the person society wants me to be.

Surprised by the level and difficulty of the question, I glanced at the answers checked by the people sitting right next to me on both sides.

‘Huh, number 2?? Huh? This guy’s number 3….. These guys are crazy. This isn’t going to work. Let’s get a proper examination first. If this keeps up, I’m going to end up in a mental hospital. Ahem…’

Min-ki, who finally solved the problem properly, returned to the room he was in at the beginning.

I changed my clothes and stood in line following the staff’s instructions.

In the end, I was originally number 077, so I was the 77th person to do the physical examination, but I ended up doing it standing at the very end of the line, 200 people behind me.

The loss is huge. I just wasted time.

“What happened?”

“I… that. Mr. Levy. I looked into it from various angles, but it seems like you’ll have to go to the military.”

“Yes? Why? Why am I going to the military, which most people in South Korea have to do?”

“First of all, it’s because Mr. Levi is so famous. Honestly, how many people know who the third son of the OO Group is? But most people in Korea, no, the entire world, know Mr. Min-ki.

In addition, Levy-nim often shows photos of himself exercising on SNS. A few days ago, he posted a photo of himself doing extreme sports with Emilia-nim. Anyway, thanks to Levy-nim’s active activities, people all over the world know that Levy-nim is very energetic and healthy.

That’s why the Military Manpower Administration, high-ranking government officials, and the Ministry of National Defense are all reluctant. The moment Min-ki receives the exemption, the entire nation will know. Even though he says he’s not going to enter politics, the risk is too great. It’ll 100% be on the 9 o’clock news. In this situation, even those who give him the exemption are reluctant because it’s dangerous.

And secondly, and honestly, this is the biggest problem. It seems that Chairman Choi Gap-moon of Gaya Group has firmly told government officials that he will block the external pressure(?) of MF Group, so they should never give in. Everyone knows how much the chairman loves his family. So government officials are looking at him with a look of ‘why are you bringing up a family feud here?’ They just dismiss it as a family issue. Ahem… Maybe that’s why our eloquence(?) doesn’t work.”

“You also said you would just sit there and get American citizenship? Shouldn’t you have threatened me like that?”

“Yes. I did make that kind of threat, but they didn’t budge at all. This is not the usual behavior of the officials who would be flustered by a few words. This was definitely something that was discussed beforehand. So I think you should resolve this issue with Chairman Wang.”

“Ah… uh… I understand. I’ll take care of it.”

“Yes. I’m sorry.”

Min-gi immediately went to Pyeongchang-dong.

“(King) Grandfather~!!”

“You’re here. I knew you’d come.”

“How have you been?”

“You punk. What are you talking about when you saw me the day before yesterday? Of course I’m fine.”

“Haha. I have something to tell you.”

“Are you talking about the military?”

“Yes, that’s right. But honestly, I’m so busy, why would I join the military? How many children of big businessmen go to the military? I don’t want to go either.”

“Those guys are just worthless. Aren’t you different?”

“still……”

“Min-ki. You are a person who will do great things, just as you said. If a popularity vote were held in South Korea right now, you would probably be number one. But what would happen if you betrayed that trust and illegally withdrew from the military? They say it doesn’t matter, but your image would take a huge hit.”

“That image…..”

“No. No. Think carefully. Our smart son is currently in the military and his thoughts are blocked. Don’t be swayed by emotions…”

“I know that, but I just feel wronged.”

“But if you’re a man, you have to serve in the military. If you were within the fence of the Gaya Group, I wouldn’t have said such things. However, you are already the de facto leader of the Korean MF Group. Even though you said you left it to your father. And what about the global MF Group, a multinational corporation? Because of you, our people laugh and cry and have hope……. (omission)……”

“Okay. I’ll go. To the army.”

“Yeah. Good idea.”

“Instead, I will join the military next year. There are still many things left to sort out. This is no joke. There are so many things that have happened recently that I need to sort out the MF Group. There are also futures investment cases and lawsuits that are still in progress.”

“Okay. Okay. Do whatever you want. We can do it whenever you want, Min-gi. I’ll make sure to tell you.”

“Yes, you promised. Around March or April next year.”

“Okay. Don’t worry.”

‘Okay. Let’s go to the army. Let’s see who gets tired…’

Min-ki left Pyeongchang-dong and immediately made a phone call.

– Ring ring ring. Ring ring.

– Hello. Hi. Levy~!!

– Hi, Donald Trump. How’s the election going?

– Good. Very good. You were definitely right. If you drag it into a dogfight, the approval rating will go up.

– That’s right. Donald’s position is only one. Only Americas!! Only for America, only for America, of America!!

– I think so for sure. There was an analysis that the more I said that, the higher my approval ratings went up. If this continues, I think I can really grab the victory in the presidential election this November. Haha.

– We have to cling to Hillary’s weaknesses. You know? We have to portray him as an old-fashioned politician who has joined hands with the corrupt bourgeoisie.

– Of course. Don’t worry. I’m already seeing the effects.

– Okay, enough talk about the election. I have a favor to ask.

– What? Just tell me. You are my soulmate.

– Me. Give me a seat in the US military in Korea.

– Huh?? What are you talking about? Aren’t you coming into the White House?

– Oh. That doesn’t matter. Instead, please do what I just said. Give me a position where I can exert my influence on the US military. In particular, the US military in Korea. There’s something like the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Meeting and coordinating with US and Korean generals. Working in Korea.

– Wait a minute. (Hey. Sam~ #@$#$ @#$@#) Ah~! ROK-US Combined Forces Command. Something like that?

– That’s right. There are military positions that civilians can fill, even if they’re not soldiers. Something with a lot of power. With just a wave of my hand, I can make Korean generals come and go.

– That’s not that difficult. Isn’t it enough now? Is there anyone in Korea who would dare to ignore you, Levi?

– Anyway, I need a place like that. If you don’t have one, please make one. How about it? Is that possible?

– Then, don’t worry. Instead, if you want to hold a position like that while living in Korea, it’ll be harder to get a key position in the White House. Wouldn’t that be more helpful? Like, an economic advisor to the president. Didn’t you get citizenship this time?

– Just in case. Anyway, I have to give you that seat next year.

– Don’t worry.

– Thank you. Anyway, I’m busy right now, so let’s talk again later.

– Yeah. Thanks for your hard work.

‘Okay. I just need to finish training. Do you think you can manipulate me? Hehehe. Right~! I guess I should keep this a secret in case you try to sabotage it.’

Min-ki was able to prepare for his enlistment in this way and focus on other things with a relaxed mind.

Although there was some talk about the enlistment issue, the construction of ultra-luxury houses was progressing without any major problems.

“Mr. Chairman, what type of house do you want?”

“I like simple things first.”

“Ah~ yes. Simple.”

“And if it’s modern, but too modern, isn’t it just like a regular rich house?”

“Yes, that’s right. It has to have its own uniqueness. I will emphasize an identity that matches the chairman’s character.”

“That’s right. This guy makes sense. Haha.”

“Haha. Don’t worry. We are the best architectural design firm in Korea. And we have also hired a foreign design director who won an award of excellence at the Paris Architecture Exhibition.”

“Oh~ I’ll look forward to it. Anyway, if we keep talking. Um.. Elegant, and grandiose, what is it? It’s like that Baroque thing, right? Grand and grand. It’s like an old castle. That’s right~ Taj Mahal. I’d like it to be something like the Taj Mahal.”

‘What are you talking about? What if you just keep listing the opposites? What do you mean, “modern” but “old castle”? Should I build a tower like the one in SF? Something like the alien castle in Star Wars?? I can’t figure out your taste at all….’

“Yes? Ah…yes.”

“And since I’m still young, I need to look pretty and cute, but also have a mature charm.”

‘Ah…. We met at a bad time. You’re going to have a hard time…. What does it mean to be cute but also mature?’

“It has that old-fashioned atmosphere like a Hanok, but Hanoks have a bit of an old-fashioned feel to them, so anyway, it can’t miss out on convenience and splendor….”

“………”

“Overall, it has to be neat. I like simple things. However, it shouldn’t be too plain…”

Director Park, who came from Korea’s top architectural design firm, felt dizzy as he left the meeting.

I’ve met countless clients, but this is the first time I’ve encountered something like this.

“Director Park. What did you say? You were so happy to meet Chairman Jeong. What do you think? Just like what you saw on the news, he’s overflowing with knowledge and humor. You’re young, so you can communicate well, right?”

“You guys are going to have a hard time.”

“Huh??? Are you having a hard time?”

“Well, I don’t know about anything else. My taste in houses is, in a word, Torai.”

“Why? Are you going to ignore the laws of physics and just build it as an inverted triangle? Or not??”

“There was a similar story. They wanted to borrow an asymmetrical, unbalanced, yet morphological structure.”

“What the…. is that nonsense?”

“I know.”

“So, what kind of house should I build? What’s your taste?”

“I want to build a house that has a modern and old-fashioned Hanok-like atmosphere, but is cute and substantial, yet clean, simple, elegant, and convenient, and is also gorgeous and grand, classy and youthful, while maintaining a Korean charm with a moderate mix of Baroque and Romanesque styles, like a castle.”

“…………yes?”

“I conveyed it clearly, so Manager Ko, take care of organizing a team and come up with five blueprints. First, let’s divide it into the building and the exterior. Choi will take care of the exterior. If we continue to do that together, it seems like it won’t be finished even after 10 years. Okay?”

“Huh?? Just a moment. You have to tell us the client’s preferences before we can start working on it, right?”

“I just told you. Say it again? A modern and old-fashioned Hanok-like atmosphere with a cute and dignified……”

“Ouch~!!!!”
