“No matter how much you look at it, it needs to be reconstructed.”

“Yeah, if you think it’s just a remodel, you’re going to have constant problems later on.”

Director Ahn, who was stuck in Cheol-woo’s flight to Incheon, said while looking at the burnt down Pharaoh Hotel. Rather than seeing the eyes of the director, who is uncomfortable to plant in the office, he chose to follow Cheol-woo out of the office.

His choices were excellent. As he rode the Yeongjong Bridge, the stress he had accumulated over the years seemed to melt away at once.

But that’s only for a while… When I arrived at Yeongjongdo and saw the wreckage of the burned-out Pharaoh Hotel, I sighed.

This massive building went down to an underground facility when one of its three sides and the central part were burned down. The rest of the building connected to the center looked fine from the outside, but there were countless fine cracks on the wall.

According to the current trend and the rumors that were heard, it seemed that the upper management wanted remodeling from the inside out. However, after seeing the serious condition with my own eyes, I could not see any answer other than reconstruction.

At this scale of construction, the difference in the amount of money spent on remodeling and rebuilding would increase by at least two orders of magnitude. If I had to explain this to seniors who play only with numbers without ever going to the site, I would have felt only overwhelmed.

But now, Cheolwoo was by his side. I was just thankful that the owner of this building, who didn’t care much about whether he was the president or the chairman, was his strong boss.

“Are we supposed to post a report first?”

“I’m going to give you a construction estimate anyway. What bothers you is trying to work twice. You just have to report it briefly over the phone.”

Supervisor Ahn was concerned about how to effectively explain this fact while watching the seniors. But Cheol-woo took out the phone with an expression that it was not a big deal.

“This is Chief Zhang. Not at the level of remodeling. We will just go ahead with the reconstruction.”

“Isn’t there a possibility at all?”

“yes! You never know when the existing building will collapse if you take it lightly.”

“The difference in construction cost would be huge…?”

“If you are going to be worried about the cost of construction, it is better to get rid of it from the beginning. If you’re going to do it, shouldn’t you be looking ahead at least a few decades? There is only one chance now to get rid of it. How are we going to rebuild it, shall we just shave our hands?”

Cheol-woo pressured the opponent in such a way that he had to make a decision right now. Up to this point, Manager Ahn thought he was talking to the boss.

He was a close friend of CEO Kang Min-seok. So, rumors of blatantly coming and going to the president’s office spread throughout the company.

“Hey, though, think about it a little more and be careful…”

“That’s something the design team will think about. I want to hear from the former president. If you sneak out later, I’ll be in trouble then. If you want to make a reasonable compromise, leave it to another department other than me…”

“…wow! I see. Let’s go to the rebuild. For more details…”

“I will report when the estimate comes out. Until then, I think I’ll have to make a new plan for the next operation. We will discuss that with CEO Kang Min-seok.”

“I mean, pay an advance payment!”

“You are still shooting. Huh!”

All the holes of Ahn, who was listening to the conversation next to him, were opened. It was only now that he realized that the person Cheol-woo was talking to in a last-minute manner was Chairman Kang.

Cheol-woo treated Chairman Kang as if he were a director. Of course, the two directors never had a normal hierarchical relationship, but…

If you could tell Kwak about the current situation, what kind of expression would he make? He’ll probably snuggle his nose, saying he’s talking nonsense.

“Okay, now that I’m done with my work here, shall we go take a look around our island?”

“Yes, an island? After all, this is an island, but what kind of island…?”

“If you are curious, be patient. you’ll find out soon I will drive, so you have to sit in the passenger seat. Huh!”

Cheol-woo walked towards the car with an excited expression on his face. After all, it was the most exciting thing in the world to smoke during work hours.

“Oh! Hey, maybe this is a no-brainer…?”

“When have you been here?”

After taking pictures of the Pharaoh Hotel, I drove the car coolly along the coastal road. Then, when I turned left from Yongyu-dong, Manager Ahn, who was sitting next to me, guessed the destination.

“I’ve been here before for summer vacation. The vacation days are short and the weather is hot, so when I was looking for a place close to Seoul, this came to mind…”

“Then did you go out to play?”

“Yes, I played at one of those beaches for a few days. But the water is not very good…”

“Isn’t there a restaurant over there?”

“Well, it’s all a sushi restaurant or a grilled clams restaurant. To be honest, I’m not even sure if they were caught in Incheon…”

“I mean, it’s no different from Seoul.”

“Yes. Except for using a rip-off in the summer. Huh!”

While the two were chatting, the car entered the land bridge. At the same time, exasperation erupted from both of their mouths.

From Yeongjongdo Island to Jamjindo Island to Muuido Island, the scenery above the sea made people burst into admiration. The feeling of running a two-lane bridge over the open sea gave a refreshing feeling that is hard to describe in words.

Besides, it was now working hours on a weekday. ‘Can I enjoy this luxury?’ The scenery unfolding in front of him made him feel guilty enough to make his heart race.

Unfortunately, the exploration of the sea road, which lasted less than 10 minutes, was over. I deliberately slowed down and ran slowly, but the car came to the end of the land bridge.

However, like any other island, the narrow road along the West Sea soothed their dissatisfaction. On one side, the sea was seen, and on the other side, the appearance of an ordinary seaside amusement park, stretching from kalguksu restaurants to grilled clams, unfolded.

“If you go a little further, you will find a food village. If you go to the other side from there, it’s Hanagae Beach.”

“That’s not where we’re going.”

“Then where…?”

As soon as Manager Ahn asked, Cheol-woo turned the car to the right. I drove into the narrow alleyway between the restaurants.

Behind the restaurants, shabby houses lined the side of the road. The narrow road that seemed to be blocked quickly became steeper as you went in, and soon followed by a hill road.

“Have you been here before?”

“Of course, if you see people coming into the alley without turning on the navigation system…”

“Well, let it be. Huh!”

Cheol-woo was driving the car along the path the Warrior marked on his retina. However, Manager Ahn, unaware of this fact, was surprised to find a way to find a way that a native of the neighborhood would know.

Dumpling, jerking!

We passed the hill and went downhill. And after a while, Cheol-woo drove the car without hesitation along the dirt road.

When the car suddenly went to the mountain, Manager Ahn was very perplexed. The car was going so deep in the mountains that I would have been very frightened if there were no permits around.

Enjoy! Write!

The car, which had been flying in dust, finally stopped in front of a dead end. At the end of the sloping dirt road, a detached, prefabricated paneled building stood tall.

“Everyone is here! Let’s get off for a second.”

“What are you doing here…?”

Whoops, whoops! Kung Kung!

Cheol-woo got out of the car without water. Two dogs chained to the side of the road leading to the building from the vacant lot where they could park a few cars were barking terrifyingly at the strangers.

“Are you going to meet anyone?”

“Yeah, just look at your face for a moment and it’ll be over, so stay here for a while.”

As the dogs barked, a man emerged from the building above. it was bulky He recognized Cheol-woo and folded his waist at 90 degrees.

“Brother, are you here?”

“Yeah, are you alone?”

“no. I’m waiting for the kids to buy some food. Because we can’t deliver to here…”

“Looking at the road, I will do just that. Huh!”

“How do you like the place, hyung?”

“Yeah, I like it because it’s so gloomy that you don’t even know how many people die. The house downstairs seems to be at least 50m apart…”

“There is a container at the back of the house, and there is a plastic house next to it. It may be small, but in total, it can sleep up to 40 people.”

“Do you have containers? That’s good. Where can I see you…”

I followed the size and went back to the prefab building. As he said, there was a large, rusty container and a larger greenhouse.

“What were you doing here?”

“It was originally a place where native chickens were grazing. Then, a few years ago, we bought it to use as a training center.”

“A training institute? What are you researching and polishing…?”

“not. It’s what you do, it’s obvious if you don’t see it.”

“···Hmmmm!”

He just coughed without answering. What can gangsters do at the foot of a gloomy mountain far away from Indo Island?

Whatever the purpose of this place, Cheolwoo really liked it. It was perfect to put them to sleep in a prefabricated building with a toilet, to feed them in a plastic greenhouse, and to do laundry in front of a container.

“Put up an iron pole here in the vacant lot, and bring some drums.”

“Yep! older brother. I will prepare.”

“…and look for a machine that automatically lowers and raises the line at the push of a button.”

“Is that the one you use to hang livestock in a butcher shop or slaughterhouse?”

“Yeah, I just need to be able to easily put it in the water and take it out. Do you know what I mean?”

“sure. I know for sure what it will be used for.”

“Yeah, I’ll leave it to you, so install it as soon as possible, take a picture and send it to me.”

“Yep! I will install it by tomorrow.”

“ah! And is there any way from this back to the top of the mountain?”

“yes! The road is steep and narrow, but there is a road right behind the house that leads to the peak.”

“How long will it take to get to the top?”

“The distance is about 1km, but it is winding and steep, so it takes 30 minutes to walk slowly.”

“It won’t be too difficult to climb. That’s a bit unfortunate.”

“What? I climbed it once, too, but it was very difficult because the soil was mostly slippery on the stone path. The guy I went with also sprained his leg.”

“It’s because your stamina is weak. Do these people who are called bodies while eating food have any kind of endurance?”

“…you don’t eat feed these days?”

“I mean, I ate it!”

“A little while ago… Hehe!”

This was also a job, so to make a living, I had to be tall. However, he did not have a gangster who even trained systematically.

If you’re going to have a hard life, what would you do as a thug? It was their menstruation that they simply called their bodies while eating food.

“Shall I drive when I go?”

“It’s unpackaged, is it okay?”

“Okay, since then, everyone has been a driver. haha!”

“Five! Then you can trust me.”

Cheol-woo said as he came down after meeting the giant. Manager Ahn, who was looking at the sea view from the vacant lot where the car was parked, hurriedly approached the driver’s seat and took himself to drive.

The fact that he had his boss at the steering wheel made him very uncomfortable. Cheol-woo, who gladly entrusted the steering wheel, sat down in the passenger seat.

“Are you going to return to work like this?”

“Can you? Still, if you come to the beach, you should hit a plate of sashimi and go. is not it?”

“yes! I agree. Then shall we go to a nearby sushi restaurant?”

“No, before I came here, when I asked someone else, they said that there is a restaurant that specializes in Yeonpo-tang in Silmido. I’ll shoot you, so let’s go eat there.”

“Then have a drink…?”

“Yeah, the surrogate knights have to make a living too. Let’s have a drink here and go to work.”

“Okay, then we will head towards Silmido Island. Huh!”

Again, he was a man who did not disappoint. Manager Ahn, who had been working diligently despite his free-spirited personality, finally recognized the taste of working outside.

The crimson sunset slowly began to color over the car with the two of them. The mountain, which had already changed into golden clothes, matched the sunset very well.

“The pharaohs have taken a stand with the reconstruction. Know that!”

“But, Chairman. Then the cost of construction will increase tremendously!”

Chairman Kang summoned Min-tae and Mingyu to the president’s office and unilaterally notified the Pharaoh’s case. Although it had nothing to do with them externally, Chairman Kang knew that their money was already in the pharaohs.

“These guys… Dare to get it and raise your voice!”

“Sorry, I’m sorry. But if that happens, the construction period will also increase…”

When Chairman Kang opened his eyes, the two of them lowered their eyes. They couldn’t be proud of it, but they had to get their money back as soon as possible.
