World Domination through Planet Development - Chapter 23

Episode 23. Class reunion invitation
Early in the morning, Jeong-woo was driving on the Gyeongbu Expressway instead of going to work.
Director Yoon was driving in the driver’s seat, and Jeong-woo was riding next to him.
Doesn’t it seem a bit out of place for the CEO to drive?
But isn’t sitting in the back seat disrespectful to the elderly?
I sat in the passenger seat with that thought in mind, but I don’t know what he thinks.
…Why not read it once with a mind reader?
[… … .]
Jungwoo nodded with a look of inward satisfaction at Sarah’s quiet reaction.
Okay. You’ve gotten a bit more perceptive.
Now it seemed like he knew whether or not he was talking nonsense.
“Have you seen the building before, sir?”
Jungwoo spoke first to break the awkward atmosphere.
“Oh, yes. It’s much nicer and more impressive than the building of the company I worked for before.”
Director Yoon, who had worked at a mid-sized company.
Of course, as it was a mid-sized company, it would have had a nice office building.
“Oh, really? Isn’t your company quite large?”
Director Yoon smiled as if he was embarrassed at Jeong-woo’s question.
“Haha… Well, looking at our company’s current growth rate, I think that company won’t even be able to hand out business cards.”
“Wow~ Is that all? We definitely made some money.”
Strictly speaking, it can be seen as an investment and money obtained for a fair price, but honestly, I don’t think so at all.
Why? Because I’ve pretty much built it from scratch.
And what exactly did I do? Sarah did everything.
Oh, no. My 2 billion won went into it.
That’s not a small amount of money.
Yeah, that’s right.
“But I still think it’s a bit excessive….”
Director Yoon looked at Jeong-woo with a worried expression, quietly talking.
“Ha… It’s okay~ I have everything planned out.”
Here you go again, Director Yoon.
What Director Yoon was worried about now was the size of the building.
Actually, we don’t need that big of a building to run our company right now, but we are in the process of purchasing a building that is much larger than what we need.
The building that was recently purchased is very large, and Director Yoon is a bit worried.
But from my perspective, it’s not excessive at all.
In order to bring in the quantity produced in North Korea in the future, distribution infrastructure must be established here in advance.
Of course, that business is not something the corporation is currently responsible for.
Since Nanosoft currently owns shares in the corporation, a new corporation should be created that will only handle AI.
Since the industries are clearly different, there is absolutely no justification or reason to find fault with Nanosoft.
Hmm… I need to change the name of the holding company to PDC, but to do that, I need to change the current AI company’s corporate name.
Well, if you ask a lawyer, it will be taken care of.
Since the building is registered under this company, should I lease it?
There’s quite a bit to think about.
Of course, Director Yoon, who is next to me, has to do all the work.
As Jeong-woo finished his thoughts, he looked at Director Yoon, who was driving diligently next to him.
“Director Yoon, you must have a lot of work to do.”
“Huh? Haha. Well, isn’t it good to have a lot of work? I really felt it when I didn’t have work for a while.”
Director Yoon smiles awkwardly.
No, Director Yoon. It could be a lot more than what Director Yoon is thinking right now.
But Jeong-woo couldn’t bring himself to say that.
My heart softens when I see Director Yoon’s smiling face.
I’m sorry, Director Yoon.
Before we knew it, the car had passed through Pangyo IC and entered the city center.
The building being purchased was not far away.
Thanks to this, the vehicle was able to quickly reach its destination.
“Oh, it’s even cooler in person.”
My first impressions of seeing the new building in person.
It’s been only a few months since I became the owner of this building. I’m so touched.
What is a building?
In the future, you will become a person who will control the country, no, the world.
I’m starting to realize what I’m doing.
It’s not that I hesitate. Rather, I should say that my will is burning even more.
As I was suddenly lost in admiration at the magnificent building, the car passed the main gate and entered the underground parking lot.
It was worth the money.
The underground parking lot is also quite large, so there shouldn’t be a shortage of parking spaces.
Director Yoon parked his car conveniently near the elevator entrance.
The two got out of the car and headed to the elevator.
On the way there, there were several people who appeared to be merchants moving around busily.
Most of them will be from the companies that originally used the building.
In fact, there isn’t much to move here, and since we have to set up everything anew, there aren’t many people willing to help us with the work right now.
As I stood side by side with Director Yoon to wait for the elevator, people stepped aside slightly.
Ding.
When the elevator opened, there was a man standing inside.
It was an employee who came out to greet the two.
“Oh! You’re here, Director Yoon.”
“Oh, yes. Nice to meet you.”
The person inside recognized Director Yoon first and greeted him.
It was only after the two exchanged greetings that she noticed Jeong-woo next to her.
“I think someone else came with us today.”
In fact, when Director Yoon visited alone, he brought another employee with him, so he mistook Jeong-woo for an employee.
“No. This person here is our representative.”
“Ah!! Ahh~ Oh, I see. Oh my, you’re so young, I didn’t notice. I’m sorry.”
The employee’s expression seemed quite surprised.
Jungwoo snickered at his unexpected gaze.
“No, it’s okay.”
Wheeing.
In the midst of that silence, the elevator doors suddenly close.
“Ah! Let’s go up first.”
A man who quickly pressed a button to stop them guided the two.
The man was an employee of a large gaming company that originally owned the building.
The reason is unknown, but it appears that they are planning to relocate and consolidate the headquarters in Seoul this time while maintaining the existing building.
As they got on the elevator, there were a few more people waiting to greet them.
“hello.”
“Yes, nice to meet you.”
After exchanging greetings, the group began to tour the building in a group.
“We did the interior design ourselves. As you can see, we designed this and completely exposed this side… .”
There’s nothing much they do as they tour the building.
This is to confirm the parts that need to be checked when handing over a building.
Of course, the director was completely in charge of everything, so Jeong-woo was just watching.
Shouldn’t you at least check before moving in?
Tirolirong. Tirolirong.
The smartphone’s default ringtone rang.
It was Jungwoo’s smartphone.
Hmm… Are you here?
When Jeong-woo stopped for a moment, everyone’s attention was focused on him.
“Oh, it’s an important call. Please continue, Director.”
Jeong-woo said, conscious of the gaze of his companions.
“Yes, I understand.”
After sending the group away, Jeong-woo escaped on his own.
The phone keeps ringing.
I already know who’s calling, I heard from Sarah.
The other person is a classmate named Byeong-chan who is hosting the reunion.
Although he is the nominal president of the alumni association, he is actually the one who takes care of Seunghyun’s business.
It was like that in the past and it seems to be the same now.
Jungwoo answered the phone.
“hello.”
-By any chance… is this Mr. Cheon Jeong-woo’s cell phone?
“Yes, but.”
Of course, I didn’t pretend to know from the beginning.
-Oh, Jeongwoo. Is that you?
“Yes, who are you?”
-I guess my number got deleted. I’m Byungchan. Do you remember? I’m the hyped-up Byungchan.
Jeong-woo didn’t answer right away and waited for a while.
“Oh. Yeah. I remember. But how did you get my number?”
Jeong-woo asked in a deliberately sharp tone.
-Oh, oh… Your number is still there. Your number is still the same.
What do you mean, I found it by asking for a number that I had already deleted.
It’s true that my number is still the same.
-There’s a class reunion coming up soon, so I was wondering if I could attend.
“A reunion? Well, I’ve never been to one, so I’m not sure if it’d be okay.”
-No, don’t worry. It’s something we do occasionally. Everyone is a bit awkward.
Sometimes? Well, I do it once a year, so I guess you could say that’s sometimes.
“Okay. Let’s go.”
-Huh? Really? Oh, right! I thought about it well. It’s nice to see my classmates’ faces after a long time.
Byungchan’s excited voice could be heard from here.
“Okay. I’m a little busy. Leave a message.”
-Okay, okay. I’ll send you the details via text message. Be sure to check it out and attend.
Stop.
Hmm. Don’t you like it too much?
Now that Kang Seung-hyun has done what he asked, he may feel good.
But if the atmosphere is a mess after the company dinner, it won’t be good.
