Episode 246: Truth Game

Dojun was actually surprised to see Ma Huateng.

‘When I called to invite you, there was no response so I thought you wouldn’t come, but you actually came, right?’

Although they said they had been friends in the past, in reality, they were now enemies.

‘Why did you come?’

Tao Jun invited Ma Huateng because of Zhang Linfeng, but honestly, Ma Huateng had no reason to come here.

‘When I think about my past life, I don’t understand it any more.’

In his previous life, Ma Huateng was a person who was extremely reluctant to be exposed to the outside world.

‘Except for official events, there was almost no exposure. It was the same with family. ‘No one knew who her wife was or what she looked like, except that she had a wife.’

Of course, if he came here, he would be able to make connections with many famous people in the United States, but it did not occur to him that Ma Huateng came all the way from Shenzhen to the United States for that purpose.

‘Maybe Ma Huateng wants something like me? That’s something I definitely want to check.’

Tao Jun shook hands with Ma Huateng and said.

“Thank you so much for coming all the way.”

Ma Huateng responded to Dojun’s words with a shy smile.

“It’s CEO Hwang’s wedding, so you should come. Besides, when would you like to see the White House if not at a time like this?”

“thank you.”

Ma Huateng looked at Sally and asked.

“By the way, CEO Hwang. “I thought you were busy with work. When did you get such a beauty?”

The answer was not Dojun, but Sally.

“We met while coding. In an emergency situation, I posted a question on Coding World, and Dojun answered it. To me at that time, Dojun was a knight on a white horse.”

“You met through coding?”

Sally smiled brightly and answered.

“yes. From then on, I liked Lee Yi, and when I came to Korea for work, I flirted with him. “Lee still thinks he tricked me, but in reality, I did.”

Ma Huateng gaped at Sally’s words. It was because of Sally’s charm that could not be seen in the East.

“You two, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other. Please talk. “I will come after my friends invite me.”

Ma Huateng said as he watched Sally leave.

“You are a beautiful and wise woman. “She has always envied CEO Hwang’s business acumen, but she now has one more thing to envy.”

“I’m jealous. It was said that everything is possible. “My wife’s support must have played a role in 100 Cent’s success.”

“haha. “Is that so?”

Ma Huateng took a glass of champagne from a waiting waiter and spoke after drinking it.

“I actually thought CEO Hwang was going to marry Minmei.”

“Minmei is like a younger brother. She is also a good business associate. Isn’t there someone like that, CEO Ma Huateng? Minmei said. “He is a very outstanding person.”

Instead of answering Dojun’s words, Ma Huateng drank champagne.

Dojun also took a sip of champagne and waited for Ma Huateng’s answer.

‘You look worried? ‘How much do you think I know?’

Ma Huateng’s answer came quickly.

“you’re right. Actually, I also had a person like CEO Minmay. It was director Zhang Linfeng. He and I had a special relationship, and thanks to that, he was able to raise his penny to this much. However, he passed away in an unexpected accident not long ago.”

Dojun looked surprised.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know that. “I think I asked a rude question.”

Ma Huateng shook his head.

“no. Because his spirit remains in every cent. “I will stick to it.”

It was then. A message appeared in front of Dojun.

Dojun was surprised.

‘You had malicious intent? ‘Is that also false?’

The message of evil did not appear without the slightest intention. It only appeared when a ‘lie’ was said for the purpose of harming the other person.

‘If this is false… Could it be that Ma Huateng also knows that Zhang Linfeng is not dead?’

I felt like there was more to it, but I was currently talking to the other person.

“As expected, you are amazing.”

Dojun praised and Ma Huateng smiled calmly.

“By the way, CEO Hwang, you said earlier that Minmei is a colleague, right? But Minmei is in China, so you won’t be able to see her often… … . “Then, does he have any colleagues around him who can give him advice or direction?”

“It’s advice or direction… … . Of course, there are many capable colleagues.”

“Of course you will. Aren’t the heads of the IT conglomerates over there also colleagues? But other than those people, do you have any special colleagues? Or it could be special consulting provided by someone.”

There was no ‘malicious’ message appearing in front of my eyes.

‘Then I’m asking this because I’m really curious… … . Could it be that the reason Ma Huateng came here was to confirm this?’

That thought grew bigger and bigger.

“We do not receive special consulting. “Is there any consulting you are receiving, Mr. Ma?”

Ma Huateng shook his head.

“no. doesn’t exist.”

It was then.

Dojun’s eyes widened again.

‘What, CEO Ma is receiving consulting?’

Dojun wanted to ask about consulting right away, but he couldn’t because Ma Huateng said he wasn’t there.

“Ah, then the current success was all achieved through CEO Hwang’s abilities.”

“I was lucky.”

Ma Huateng’s eyes lit up at Dojun’s words.

‘Huang Taojun, have you achieved success now without a helper like Zhang Linfeng? To me, you are truly an irregular being.’

Ma Huateng held out his hand.

“That’s called skill, not luck. “I’d like to talk more with CEO Hwang, but it looks like the priest over there is looking for you.”

Dojun turned around, waved at Sally, and then spoke to Ma Huateng.

“That’s too bad. “I’d like to talk at length next time.”

“I am like that. Please come to China sometime. “I will treat you very well.”

“I’m looking forward to it. “I will definitely contact you.”

Tao Jun and Ma Huateng shook each other’s hands and turned around.

Ma Huateng lowered the corner of his smiling mouth and thought.

‘If the person who stole what was mine was an illegitimate person as stated in the email, then Hwang Do-jun is an illegitimate person. It’s clear.’

Dojun thought as he ran towards Sally.

‘Zhang Linfeng is not dead. Even Ma Huateng knows that. This alone is a huge achievement, and we have even discovered the existence of consulting.’

Today’s meeting was a great help to Dojun.

Sally asked Dojun.

“Dojun, how was it?”

“It was awesome.”

* * *

Dojun went to Hawaii for his honeymoon. Neither Dojun nor Sally had ever been there, and it was a place they both really wanted to go to.

After returning from her honeymoon, Sally completed a month-long handover in the U.S. and then came to the Korean Microsoft branch.

Of course, I didn’t come alone. He came with William.

MS provided a residence near the company for William, who works in Korea. This meant that William was regarded as a top talent.

Dojun decided to live in the existing house with Sally. Do-jun suggested moving to a larger place, but Sally suggested that they live here because of the beautiful view of the Han River.

Dojun’s younger sister Mina moved to an officetel near the new company ‘Donghwa PLUS’.

“But Sally, what kind of work are you doing with William?”

Dojun asked while making breakfast toast.

“We’re building a new Windows security system.”

“New security system?”

“huh. “Windows Defender.”

“Isn’t that already there?”

Windows Defender was a system included in Windows 7 and continued until Windows 11.

“There is, but honestly, the performance isn’t that great, right? “This time, we are trying to create a vaccine program that is at a similar level to a commercial vaccine system.”

It was like that in my past life too. At first, the performance was not very good, but the performance gradually improved, and by the time Windows 11 was released, there was no need for most anti-virus programs.

“For free?”

“huh.”

Dojun said as he put the toast on the table.

“Wow, that’s great.”

“Would you like me to tell you something even greater? Bill says he thinks I will be the general manager there. “Maybe a Windows Defender team will be established at the Microsoft branch in Korea.”

Dojun gave Sally a thumbs up.

“To my future team leader, I would like to congratulate you in advance.”

When Dojun put down the coffee in front of her, Sally smiled brightly.

“Hi-Hi. good night. From delicious toast to coffee. “If I had known this would happen, I would have gotten married a long time ago.”

“me too.”

Dojun lightly kissed Sally on the lips and then sat down to eat breakfast.

“By the way, Sally, you didn’t forget today, right?”

Sally nodded at Dojun’s words.

“Going to Jonggak?”

“huh. “Let’s see the bell ringing like today.”

“huh!”

Today was the last day of 2010. Dojun decided to listen to the bell ringing at the bell tower with Sally.

Because it was the last day of 2010, Dojun gave all employees a vacation. Dojun walked around the streets with Sally and headed to Bell Gak.

At 11:55 p.m., the area around Jonggak was crowded with people.

“Sally, do you have a wish?”

“huh! “What about Dojun?”

“Yes. “When the bell rings, make a wish.”

Sally asked with sparkling eyes.

“Then will your wish come true?”

“maybe?”

“lol. “Then I must pray.”

Dojun and Sally held each other’s hands tightly.

After a while, at 11:59, people started shouting out numbers.

“10, 9, 8… … .”

“5, 4”

Sally and Dojun also shouted.

“Three, two, one. and!”

– Dang!

Bosingak bells rang everywhere and people’s shouts filled Jongno.

Dojun looked at Sally. Sally had her eyes closed, her hands clasped, and she was praying for something.

After a while, Sally opened her eyes and Dojun asked.

“What did you wish for?”

“secret! “What about Dojun?”

“me? “I have a secret too.”

“tooth!”

Sally pouted her lips, but it was just too adorable for Dojun.

Dojun said, hugging Sally’s waist.

“happy new year. “Sally.”

“Dojundo.”

The two kissed and hugged each other.

That’s how 2011 began.

* * *

The next day, Dojun invited William, Mina, and Mina’s boyfriend Minho to eat rice cake soup together.

After eating rice cake soup, Mina went out on a date with Minho. William went home immediately because the winter in Korea was very cold.

Dojun stood at the window and looked at the river.

‘Let’s do our best this year too.’

Dojun thought about what he had to accomplish this year.

‘This year, more than anything, we must do the Goguryeo Project CBT.’

‘Goguryeo Project – Gaemamusa’ was progressing smoothly.

The overall production direction and producer was Dojun, but Dojun handed over almost all authority to Hidetaka Miyazaki.

‘It’s becoming a great game.’

Originally, Hidetaka Miyazaki’s next work was the ‘Dark Souls’ series. However, in this life, Miyazaki was focusing on ‘Gaemamusha’ instead of Dark Souls.

‘Perhaps because of my involvement, a more popular game than Dark Souls is being made. I think there will be a game between Elden Ring and Sekiro.’

Dojun wanted to complete ‘Gaemamusa’ as soon as possible.

‘There’s a lot more to do. I have to find Zhang Linfeng, and I have to find Eric too. And I also have to look at my lost memories.’

But there was a problem.

‘Great earthquake in Japan. That’s the problem.’

The great earthquake in Japan that occurred in March 2011 was a massive earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1. Because of this earthquake, the Fukushima power plant exploded, and the aftermath remained until 2022, when Dojun returned.

‘No country can stop this earthquake. ‘If you tell people there’s going to be a big earthquake, everyone will think you’re crazy.’

Dojun thought that a major earthquake could not be prevented.

‘Because it’s not a talent, it’s literally a natural disaster. But the developers who live there are the problem.’

Dojun selected many Japanese developers while working on this Goguryeo project.

Those people were selected from FromSoft, and Miyazaki said they were playing a big role by collaborating with Korean developers.

The problem was that the hometown of some of those developers was Fukushima.

‘Can those developers continue to work even if they lose their families?’

Dojun shook his head. That was something he couldn’t do himself.

‘If things continue like this, there will be big problems in development progress. Is there any way to bring at least the developers’ families to a safe place?’

Dojun thought about it, but couldn’t think of a suitable method.

‘I can’t do this. ‘I’ll have to ask Miyazaki directly about this.’

Fortunately, Miyazaki was at Black Cat Studio in Korea to collaborate.

Dojun ran to Black Cat Studio.

Dojun was just opening the door to Black Cat Studio and entering.

“Why isn’t this finished yet?”

Miyazaki’s awkward but angry Korean spoke echoed through the studio.
