I have to check episode 304

Lee Yun-cheol said with sharp eyes.

“What did you just say?”

“Comrade, your voice is loud. Look ahead and speak instead of me. There is surveillance.”

Lee Woon-chul flinched at the man’s words.

Unlike other people, he was always exposed to outside information. Naturally, there had to be people watching him.

Lee Yun-cheol looked ahead and spoke softly.

“Who are you?”

The man took out a cigarette and looked ahead as he spoke.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that I can bring you a clinical cure for leukemia.”

Lee Yun-cheol glanced at the man. He had short hair, a thin body, and an ordinary face.

What was unusual was that he was wearing a black jacket, which at first glance looked ordinary, but it wasn’t. The maker was special.

‘North Face? Isn’t that the mountaineering clothing maker that’s popular in South Korea?’

Due to his job, Lee Un-cheol had no choice but to watch videos from South Korea and around the world. Among them was the news. He remembered seeing a news article about the North Face being popular in South Korea.

“You… are from South Korea?”

“I’ve always wanted to go, but I’ve never been there.”

“Then where did you come from?”

The man pressed the lighter. But the lighter did not light. The man spoke quietly.

“Shingiju. Okay? Then, stand up and go towards the square. If you don’t need the clinical treatment, you don’t have to go.”

The man said this, stood up, and spoke loudly.

“Eight. You won’t even lend me a cigarette. Isn’t that just too cold-hearted?”

The man grumbled and walked forward.

Lee Woon-cheol glanced at the man and thought about it.

‘Really… there’s a cure for leukemia?’

Lee Yun-cheol used the Internet freely. So he searched countless times for treatments, but he had never heard of a drug called ‘Venclexta’.

Above all, the man was suspicious. Seeing him suddenly approaching her and saying that there was a cure for leukemia, it seemed like he had already done some research on himself.

‘Who is it? Do you think the party suspects me? Is it because I sold dramas and movies to people? Is that why they’re looking at me?’

It took a lot of money to buy Chinese medicine for my son. It was medicine that could not be bought with the money received from North Korea.

‘Did I get caught?’

I thought so, but somehow I had a feeling that wasn’t the case.

‘Why would you do something like this to try to get me to leave?’

He was someone who could never escape as long as his son was in this hospital. His son was both his reason for living and his chains.

The North Korean leadership knew this better than anyone.

‘So… is there really a cure for that guy?’

It was most likely a lie, but now Lee Woon-chul wanted to grab onto even a shred of hope.

Lee Yun-cheol got up from his seat. Lee Yun-cheol walked toward the square and exhaled.

‘Why are you telling me to go towards the square?’

Lee Yun-cheol expected the man to contact him again, but he did not come until he passed the square and reached the ‘Daedong River’.

‘Am I being fooled? Did the party abandon me?’

It was then that a middle-aged couple approached me on the Daedong River promenade and asked me.

“Here, where should I go to get to the museum?”

The museum was on the right side of the square. Lee Yun-cheol pointed to it with his hand and said.

“It’s over there.”

“Oh, teacher. Thank you very much.”

The woman of the couple passed by Lee Woon-chul as she said those words. It was at that moment.

Lee Yun-cheol felt the woman’s hand brushing past his pocket.

‘pickpocket?’

I had that thought, but he was moving too slowly toward the museum for a pickpocket. Above all, there was nothing in his pockets.

Still, Lee Woon-cheol put his hand into his pocket, wondering if there was something there. In an instant, Lee Woon-cheol’s eyes widened.

‘uh?’

There was something hard and small in the pocket. I knew it just by touching it. It was a USB.

Lee Yun-cheol didn’t look back. He walked home with hasty steps. There was an old-fashioned computer in the house.

Lee Yun-cheol immediately turned on the computer and inserted the USB.

“oh my god.”

The USB contained a report and an offer he couldn’t refuse.

[Venclexta Phase 1 Clinical Trial Results Report.]

The clinical trial results were impressive. Even though it is only the first trial, many of the experimental group’s symptoms improved significantly.

Moreover, it was more effective for children.

Lee Woon-cheol swallowed dry saliva and read the last sentence.

[Please give me the detailed personnel information of North Korean generals, and I will give you as much Venclexta as you want.]

Even though the National Intelligence Service case was settled, Do-jun was not at ease.

‘I wish I could meet Lee Woon-chul somehow.’

Do-jun, who saw the future Lee Woon-chul, wanted to somehow prevent the ‘coup’.

‘I don’t want to see North Korea fall to China.’

Do-jun thought about a way to contact Lee Woon-cheol, but there was no way.

Lee Yun-cheol was in North Korea, and no matter how good Do-jun’s skills were or how much money he had, North Korea was a place that was difficult to contact.

‘Above all, if you come into contact with Lee Yun-cheol, the black tree can grow bigger.’

Dojun sighed.

“In the end, there’s nothing I can do.”

The next day, Do-jun went to work and contacted Han Jeong-su.

It was to discuss the proposal I made a few days ago to invest together in the Children’s Foundation and Supercell.

But the meeting place was an unexpected place. Do-jun went to the meeting place, parked his car on the road, and got out.

“Wow, why did I forget about this place?”

The place Dojun arrived at was ‘Pangyo Techno Valley’. Pangyo, where he had worked for over 8 years in his previous life, appeared before his eyes.

Dojun looked around Pangyo. There were still many places under construction, but people could be seen walking around in buildings where people had already started moving in.

‘Really… I never thought I’d see this place again.’

In his previous life, Dojun started working in Pangyo in 2014. Even then, there weren’t many people in Pangyo, but now that it was very early on, it was even more desolate.

‘But in just a few years, this place will change dramatically. There will be more people, and it will literally become like Korea’s Silicon Valley.’

Do-jun, recalling his past life, looked at one place. The building was not yet finished, but it looked almost finished.

[Laonzena]

It was the building of ‘Laonzena’ where Dojun worked until the end in his previous life.

Next to it was the ‘Next’ office building of CEO Han Jeong-su, who had made an appointment today, and across from the ‘Geumtocheon’ that runs through Pangyo, ‘Raniji Soft’ was being built.

When Dojun was blankly staring at Pangyo, someone came up to him and spoke.

“There are still a lot of construction areas, so it feels a bit empty, right?”

When he looked to the side, he saw Han Jeong-su. Do-jun asked in surprise.

“No, how did you know I was here… … .”

“I was heading to the meeting place when I happened to see Mr. Hwang. So I got off and came. But why are you looking at me like that?”

“Pangyo. I’ve only heard about it and it’s my first time here, but it’s bigger than I thought.”

Han Jeong-su also looked around Pangyo and said:

“Right? It’s like this now, but maybe in a year or two it’ll be completely different.”

Dojun answered while recalling the Pangyo Techno Valley he had seen in his past life.

“Yes. I think it will be completely different. I think most of the IT companies in Korea will gather here.”

“I definitely heard that a lot of large companies are coming.”

“It won’t just be large corporations. Startups will also come to Pangyo in large numbers. No… they will emerge.”

Han Jeong-su tilted his head and asked.

“Startups?”

“yes.”

Dojun said this while looking at the numerous IT giant headquarters buildings being built around him.

“As you can see, once the big companies start moving in, there will be a lot of developers here.”

“That’s right, since there are so many companies. But what does that have to do with startups…?”

Dojun said with a smile.

“Sir, this is a small market. Developers probably know each other across the street. What would those connections do? They would meet every lunch hour. People from different companies.”

Han Jeong-su opened his eyes wide. It was something he had never expected.

“Oh my goodness. That makes sense. We’re all just a few steps away from each other, so there’s no longer any distance barrier.”

“Yes. In fact, there will be no more secrets. It will be obvious which companies are good and which are bad. If someone causes an accident in the morning, rumors will spread throughout the company in Pangyo in the afternoon.”

“Hahaha. Honestly, I don’t want to believe it, but it really seems to be true. And I can see why startups are formed here. If it’s that easy for developers to meet each other, there will be more people who get along well.”

Dojun chuckled.

“That’s right. Now, it’s important for large companies to develop their own products, but it’s also very important to invest in promising startups.”

“I see. I’m learning something new from Representative Hwang today.”

“Haha. It’s just my imagination.”

Han Jeong-su looked at Pangyo and thought for a while before speaking.

“Oh, you must be hungry. Let’s go. I know a good restaurant. Have a meal, and I’ll take you to the Next building, which isn’t officially open yet. I asked you to come here today so that I could show Mr. Hwang around our building.”

“Really? I’m really looking forward to it.”

The restaurant that Han Jeong-su took him to was a Japanese restaurant that Do-jun and Team Leader Yang often visited in their previous life.

There, Do-jun talked with Han Jeong-su about ‘Supercell’ and ‘Children’s Hospital’.

“It’s already this late. Mr. Hwang, how about we discuss the rest at our office?”

“great.”

After leaving the restaurant, Dojun went to the ‘Next’ building.

Dojun looked around here and there as he moved, recalling the Pangyo of his past life. Then, at one place, Dojun stopped walking.

Dojun looked at the ventilation shaft in front of the building under construction.

“Why are you doing that, Mr. Hwang?”

Dojun approached the vent in silence. The vent was quite wide. It seemed to be over 3 meters wide and 6 meters long.

Do-jun looked down the vent. It was dizzyingly deep down there. Do-jun dropped the rocks around him into the vent.

“No, why are you looking there?”

“Because I thought it was too… dangerous.”

“They’ll block it with a strong wire fence, so how could it be dangerous?”

Dojun thought back to his past life.

“Barbed wire? Will that barbed wire hold the weight of 20 or even 30 people?”

“Yes? 20, 30 people? Why are so many people going up there?”

“That’s right… why did you go up there? Sigh.”

Do-jun was a nerd. Even for such an nerd, the ‘ventilator fall accident’ that occurred in 2014 was a great shock.

Literally, Pangyo was a place where IT developers gathered. On that day, 27 people were killed in a ‘ventilator crash’.

Do-jun still remembered the events of that day clearly. The casualties that day were colleagues, friends, and lovers.

Among them, there were people who worked with Dojun, even though they didn’t know him well. After the accident, Pangyo suffered from great aftereffects for a while.

‘Can I stop this accident? I can stop it.’

Do-jun really wanted to stop it. It wasn’t hard to stop it. He had the money, and if he asked the Prime Minister, it wouldn’t be hard to proceed.

But it was clear that if we stopped it, more ‘Pieces of Destiny’ would be created.

‘What should I do?’

Dojun walked slowly, thinking. Then suddenly an idea occurred to him.

‘Wait a minute, that was the vote on Google last time. Wasn’t that irrelevant?’

Do-jun pondered the reason and concluded that it was likely that it did not matter if it was impossible to ‘predict’.

‘It wasn’t a vote that happened in my past life, and I don’t know the results of the vote. Wait, then?’

Dojun suddenly stopped walking. When he looked up, he saw the ‘Next’ building.

* * *

On the first floor of the Next building, large models and images of ‘SsangSsang Rider’, ‘Mebinogi’, and ‘Empire of the Wind’ were beautifully displayed.

‘So this is what it looked like.’

Dojun was someone who had lived in Pangyo for 8 years in his previous life but had never been to the ‘Next’ building.

“Isn’t it really cool?”

“The lobby on the first floor is like the face of the company, so we put a lot of effort into it. However, there is another place that we put the most effort into.”

Dojun went up to the second floor under Han Jeong-su’s guidance.

‘huh?’

Dojun was surprised when he saw the second floor. There, he saw an interior that didn’t look like a game company at all.

“What is this place?”

The entire interior was made of wood, and it was decorated just like a theme park.

Han Jeong-su answered Do-jun’s words with a proud expression.

“It’s a daycare center. Dotori Daycare Center.”

“Daycare… right?”

“Yes. It was created as part of employee welfare so that employees can work without worrying about their children.”

“oh my god.”

Do-jun was genuinely surprised. Of course, he knew in his past life that IT companies set up ‘daycare centers’ within their companies. But in his past life, Do-jun had no interest in such things. He was not married and had no children.

Han Jeong-su said while sitting on the slide railing.

“Representative Hwang.”

“yes.”

“As I said earlier, I plan to go all-in on the children’s hospital. Mr. Hwang, please take charge of the acquisition of Supercell. How about an 8:2 ratio for Supercell shares? Oh, of course, Mr. Hwang takes 8.”

Han Jeong-su made this suggestion to Do-jun over lunch. It was a great suggestion for Do-jun. It was an opportunity to become the owner of Supercell, which would grow tremendously in the future.

‘But is it okay to have a supercell like this?’

Dojun asked Saetbyeol right away.

‘Are you okay, Saetbyeol?’

Dojun nodded at Saetbyeol’s words.

‘One rule is clear. Even if it is beneficial to me, if I do not take the lead and someone else takes the lead, the black tree will not grow.’

Dojun looked at Han Jeongsu. He was waiting for Dojun’s answer.

‘Then I guess we should check if the second rule is correct.’

Dojun said to Han Jeongsu.

“Thank you for the good suggestion. I feel like this is too beneficial for me.”

“It’s okay. Thanks to you, I can invest more in children’s hospitals.”

Dojun said, tapping his finger on the vine chair he was sitting on.

“But it’s only good for me, so I feel a little guilty. Mr. Han, what do you think about this?”

“Yes? Do you have any other suggestions?”

“I will do as you suggested. However, can I spend more money on the children’s hospital investment?”

Han Jeong-su said in surprise.

“You’re going to invest more? Of course I’d like to, but how much do you plan on investing…?”

Dojun thought for a moment and then said.

“How about two hundred billion?”

Dojun said that and asked Saetbyeol.

‘Morning Star, how about a black tree?’
