Mr Deep.

I got a sudden call from a bar located near Nonhyeon Station and headed there.

There was a small sign saying Deep Sea in the lower right corner on the black and blue signboard, so anyone who didn’t know might know it was a bar.

“Isa Jin, it’s good to see you.”

Park Sung-chan, president of Bosco International, welcomed me.

Next to him was another unknown person.

“This is President Ho-Seok Lee. I am in charge of Bosco Energy, one of the group’s core affiliates.”

“Nice to meet you, this is Lee Ho-seok.”

I greeted him by holding his outstretched hand.

“It’s Jinyuseong.”

“You’re still young, but you’re amazing. At that age, you’re in charge of mining development.”

“It’s overrated.”

“Let’s sit here for now. I have something to tell you, so I asked you to call Director Jin as well.”

What was it that made me want to see you in a place like this?

I suppressed my curiosity and took a seat.

“Would you like a drink?”

“No, I think it’s about work, but it’s better to finish it.”

“Is it okay if we have a drink and talk?”

“sure.”

Lee Ho-seok and Park Sung-chan filled each other’s glasses and drank one.

“Kuh, it’s hard to say with a bare mind, so please understand.”

“What’s the matter?”

Hoseok Lee put down his glass and opened his mouth.

“Yesterday, I met Choi Soo-hyeok, the chief of staff. I heard from the Dr. Director that Director Jin also knew about Choi.”

“…Yes. I know what’s going on.”

“Then I’ll tell you that it’s a no-brainer. The other side told me to overthrow the Louis Hill investment case.”

It’s fun.

Overturning the finished table…

For some reason, it seems that the person named Choi Soo-hyuk continues to be entangled in a bad relationship.

“Wait a minute. Why did you tell the president about that? I’m sure you’ve been contacting me before.”

Park Sung-chan answered my question.

“I didn’t tell you everything back then, but there are complicated circumstances.”

“Can’t you tell me what’s going on?”

Park Sung-chan explained the situation without hesitation.

Before the meeting with me, the Blue House put unspoken pressure on the Bosco Group to participate in the volunteer diplomacy project, and the deal with me at that time had a justification for refusing it.

‘It’s true, there were political intentions besides business.’

Once again, I realized that the negotiations at that time did not go according to my intentions.

I thought it was too much, but even that was just licking the outside.

“Chief Choi told me that he will move the shareholders, so tell me to overturn the Louis Hill thing. Then he will give me strength so that I can serve as the next boss of Bosco.”

“Why are you telling me this? Isn’t that something to discuss with CEO Cheon Kyung-deok first?”

“Ah, it’s been discussed beforehand, so don’t get me wrong.”

“……?”

“Actually, there was someone planted by Director Choi inside Bosco, so I was wearing a gun. I deliberately expressed an opinion against the decision of my older brother, that is, the Archangel, and Director Choi, who did not know that, approached me.”

“Then the archangel predicted all of this.”

“That’s right. My brother calculated that Chief Choi could come out like this and sprinkled me as bait. To make it easier to approach me.”

My head hurts, damn it.

Anyway, this guy’s politics sucks.

“If I had expected it, I would have been able to deal with it. What would you say to me?”

“I expected it, but there is one problem.”

“Is that a problem?”

“It’s okay to overthrow the project for the cause over there. It’s enough to put up with someone else if it’s not me.”

“……?”

“Iron ore price. As the market situation is the situation, Choi Soo-hyuk has a justification. After hearing about it yesterday, he also received information through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that he would soon finalize a price cut with a major company in China.”

Damn, that’s holding me back again.

“What can I do?”

“Is there any infrastructure work included in the Louis Hill project?”

“yes.”

“How about handing it over?”

For a moment, I was very annoyed.

The project was not only to facilitate negotiations with Bosco, but also to create an opportunity for his friend Myung-seop.

But that may be in vain.

“Did construction boss Yonghak Kim agree?”

“Yes, President Kim also agreed.”

Oh my god, the boss said you’d spit it out too.

“Isn’t it impossible to stop it in Bosco?”

“The government’s influence is strong at the time. I don’t know if the cause is clear, but in the current situation, if the proposal for the dismissal of the CEO goes up, it will be passed in all probability.”

“If another person replaces the archangel, the project itself may be canceled.”

“Yes. So, let’s try to appease it by throwing construction work.”

I shook my head, leaving a sad expression on my face.

“Okay. Why would we be as upset as Bosco? After all, on our part, we just need to complete the construction within a reasonable amount and on time.”

“Thanks for understanding.”

“But where are you going to pass it?”

Daehyun Construction?

President Hak-Jun Jang is from there, so there is a high possibility that it is.

“This is Seongsam C&T.”

“Seongsam… a product?”

“Is there a connection between President Jang Hak-jun and Seong-sam?”

Seong-sam and Dae-hyeon are called rivals in the business world, so Hak-jun Jang, a native of Dae-hyeon, might not have a good look.

Doesn’t it matter that he’s president now?

“It’s not President Jang, it’s Choi Soo-hyeok, chief of staff. The doctor here will make a deal. I’m going to hand over the 7 trillion-dollar infrastructure project, so please close your eyes.”

Hey, not Jang Hak-joon, but the right arm, are you going to feed the 7-piece?

“Doesn’t the chief of staff have enough power?”

“There are only two people in the Republic of Korea who can change President Chang Hak-jun’s decision. One of them is Chief of Staff Choi Soo-hyuk.”

“Who’s the other one?”

“This is Sohn Young-seok, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy. He is called President Jang’s left arm.”

“You mean the deputy minister, not the minister, is left-handed?”

“The minister has a lot of work to do, so it’s easy to get up and down in the media and get the public’s attention. On the other hand, the vice minister is free to move.”

It reminds me of an old buzzword.

A dirty world that only remembers number one!

But for dirty work, 2nd place seems to be a better position.

“So it’s his left arm. Choi Soo-hyeok, chief of staff in Yangji, and Sohn Young-seok, Vice Minister in Eumji.”

“Sometimes it comes and goes, but that’s roughly it.”

Hoseok Lee then made a shocking statement.

“Vice Minister Son was also the person who designed this resource diplomacy project. And he said he was in charge of remote areas such as Africa and South America. Although it is called Africa Tong.”

The plan was devised by the left arm in the shade.

It looks like he’s about to eat it.

“Is Australia included in the project?”

“Of course it is. Australia is one of the most valuable countries in the world in terms of the value of its natural resources.”

“Do you not know about the rough development plan?”

“I don’t know yet. We’re trying to find out by mobilizing all of our contacts, but it’s unclear whether there’s a plan yet or whether the security has been shut down.”

“If you get information, can you tell us as well?”

“It’s up to the Doctor. What can’t you do with one boat?”

Lee Ho-seok looked back at Park Sung-chan and said.

“Okay, okay. I’ll bake and boil my Choi Soo-hyeok, so don’t look like that.”

“Since Director Jin gave me 7 trillion baits, I’m telling you to do well.”

“Oh, I got it. Let’s have another drink.”

Park Sung-chan filled Lee Ho-seok’s glass and brought me a bottle.

“I’ll have a drink with Jini-sa too.”

“……yes.”

squeak.

“At that time, the Bosco Construction employee who wants to take care of you, are you the real director of Jin?”

“Hahaha, yes. That’s right. It was a greeting request.”

“He’s a friend that the world has nothing to envy for asking for a 7-trillion-dollar greeting. If I were President Kim, I would have put him in a key position.”

“It’s all gone now.”

“It’s a chance, can’t we just make it again?”

“Doctor, you’re not telling me to bring another order, right? Hahaha.”

“Because this is a boss man, it seems that he has a habit of having a sales mindset. Come on, let’s have a drink nationally.

Park Seong-chan skillfully held out the glass first and induced a toast.

After emptying the glass,

“Isa Jin, have you heard of Tenp?”

“Are you talking about Gangnam Tenpro?”

“That’s right. From what I can see here, there are only children who go inside the tempro out of the tempo.”

Is it 1% of Tenpro’s Tenpro?

“Are you ready there?”

Ready? what ready?

I immediately looked outside with clairvoyance.

There, women in groups of six filled the hallway.

‘Are you serving me now?’

All of them are beauties that slap celebrities in the face.

“Ho-ho-ho, it’s already done. I’ll let the kids in.”

It’s terribly burdensome.

The receptionist is not that good either.

two days later.

I headed to Jongno, the meeting place with Jessica.

Her voice on the phone was very heavy.

It was the first time before I met Jessica.

I always felt happy before we met…

“brother.”

“yes?”

“……there.”

Jessica paused for a moment before continuing.

“Before, I was so busy that I couldn’t even say thank you for watching Sumin. I’m sorry.”

Why does the word “I’m sorry” come out from the beginning of the conversation?

For whatever reason, it was a very strange feeling.

“Oh, that? It’s okay. What’s wrong with that between us?”

“Still…”

Something breaks the flow of conversation.

And shocking words that seemed to explain the reason came from Jessica.

“I don’t think I can go to Australia with my brother.”

That’s right.

That was the essence of this heavy atmosphere.

“I understand. It must not have been an easy decision.”

“Sorry.”

“What are you sorry about. You’re talking nonsense, again.”

Jessica opened her mouth with a sad expression.

“Is there anything you want to say to me?”

What I want to say is……

I do not know.

My head is now gray and I have no idea what to say.

“I want to ask you one thing.”

“What?”

“You really didn’t make that decision because of a misunderstanding between me and Jackie, did you?”

huh? Why is your expression darkened?

Is it because I’m misunderstood?

Whoa…..

“I don’t get it wrong. I said it wasn’t my brother, so I believe it.”

I don’t believe it….

I sighed in confusion and scratched my head.

If a misunderstanding was the reason, I would actively explain it, but since it wasn’t, I didn’t know what to do.

‘Yeah, Jessica said all the time that living as an immigrant in Australia doesn’t necessarily look good. How could I force it more?’

The desire to be together is like a chimney, but I thought that it was a decision she made after thinking about it for a long time.

If so, wouldn’t it be the last courtesy as a lover to respect that decision?

“Are you going to go back to school right away?”

“It should be. These days, it is said that when you get a job, you also look at your age.”

“You must be very busy in the 4th grade. There must be a lot of things to prepare…”

“yes……”

“……”

There was an atmosphere suggesting parting as they frowned without realizing what they were saying to evoke the atmosphere.

“brother.”

“yes?”

“I live in Australia, achieving what I want. If it were you, I would do well.”

“……”

I felt something suffocating in my throat.

I tried to answer, but my lips were just moving, and not even a sound of breath came out.

“I’ll stop.”

I grabbed her bag and watched her get up and looked at her back until the moment she left the cafe.

After she disappeared from sight,

“Fuuuuuuuuuuu…”

A heavy sigh escaped between his lips.

And then she couldn’t take her eyes off the door.

No, I couldn’t take it off.
