Third grade.

As time passed, I came to Hanseong headquarters for the first time with Dayeon.
No, since it is the second largest building in the country, I thought it would have a really big office building…
There were three buildings of enormous size attached to each other, and the magnificent park surrounding them could be said to be overwhelming.
I thought my Tower Palace was in good condition, but it was ridiculous to compare it to here.
The difference between a building made almost entirely of Lego and an actual building…
Executives following Jinseok Lee as he enters the building with his father.
Even after Dayeon and I, a huge number of people followed around, led by Kim Tae-oh.
Okay, I admit it.
In this building, Dayeon was no less than a princess from a novel.
Honestly, it’s shit.
Seeing the treatment of Lee Jin-seok’s family is truly… admirable.
As soon as Kim Tae-o arrived at the headquarters, he took a sharp stance and was talking to the HSW security guards while leaving us behind.
I followed Dayeon and boarded the elevator inside the building.
An elevator that can only go up to three floors.
“It goes straight to dad’s room and grandpa’s room~”
Well… it’s amazing.
When I pressed the uppermost floor, the fast-moving elevator opened and I could see Lee Ki-seok’s room beyond the glass wall.
Ki-seok Lee was sitting down, and when he saw us through the glass wall, he opened his eyes in surprise and stood up.
“Our pretty puppies! Are you here!”
“Grandpa~”
Lee Ki-seok hugged Dayeon and led us to the room.
The exterior of the building shows the edge of modern technology, but the interior is… I like things that are old-fashioned.
I made eye contact with Lee Ki-seok.
“I came too?”
“Okay! Come here!”
“I don’t like it, it smells like an old man.”
“Hahahahahaha!!!”
Lee Ki-seok, who had been laughing heartily for a while, said with a smile.
“Isn’t this your first time here? Have you seen the sights?”
“I was curious too, but I didn’t think there was any need to look further.”
“Why did you think that?”
“Just by looking at the outside and here, you can realize the saying, ‘The top 1% of talented people in Korea go to Hanseong.’”
“Hahaha, I see.”
Lee Ki-seok looked me up and down and smiled sinisterly.
“Aren’t you curious about the leadership?”
“What are you going to do if I remember everything and steal the information?”
“If that’s the case, then we should prepare another project. But, what are you regretting doing that? Hahaha! When it comes to money, your father probably has more cash than me.”
“Is it that much?”
“Hmm… I looked into land in Seoul to build a Hanseong Industrial building, and most of the land around it was in your father’s name, hehe…”
“Wow…”
“True… I’ve never seen someone with such a large distribution. At the time, I asked them to take good care of you and said that they would just give me nearly 10,000 pyeong of land. It was absurd…”
“So you got it for free?”
“Business people shouldn’t like freebies. Managers should act according to their bottom line… So I bought everything at regular price.”
“Oh… you ate it raw?”
Just looking at the land behind it, it is land that will continue to rise over time if you own it.
To the extent that it is impossible to predict how far it will rise.
“Hahahaha! It’s a point deduction as a manager to refuse even though it’s given fairly. So… I prepared a gift.”
When I looked at the gift with interest, he showed me a picture.
It was a building right next to Euljiro Station with HSW written on it.
It may be in the distant future, but right now, a high-rise building near the Seoul subway station is worth more than the land my father gave me.
With the law being revised, buildings taller than that will no longer be built in that area.
I opened my eyes wide.
“You’re giving me this?”
“Yekki Inum! Is it possible for my belly button to be bigger than my stomach?”
“sure…?”
“The entrance is in the basement, and the rooftop, the 52nd and 53rd floors, is where I lived.”
“Oh, what… I have a house too, right? And I can’t live outside because I have to eat the food my dad cooks~”
“It was decorated as a party room.”
“…call.”
“Of course… in your name…”
“Girl… Would it be okay if I held your grandfather’s body just once…?”
“Okay, come.”
“Yes, Seong-eun is devastated.”
Dayeon was smiling and looking at us.
I was curious about how the party room would be decorated, and was thinking about what I should buy first if I didn’t have anything.
However, as expected, Lee Ki-seok had prepared it separately.
A space reminiscent of an aquarium, various entertainment facilities, an outdoor swimming pool, etc.
Paradise was unfolding.
Above all, the interior is changed periodically to suit age…
It’s crazy, really.
The person in charge gives you a business card and asks you to tell me the day before you plan to use it, if possible.
When I asked what would happen if I told them on the same day, the people at Hansung Marketing Department said that as time goes by to prepare for convenience of use, they only get busier and busier, and there is no change in using it.
If you take the time to tell him what you want, the fact that he will make it happen with Lee Ki-seok’s permission is… amazing.
Dayeon and I left the party room and explored the interior of the headquarters.
Employee ID? Temporary pass? Staff only? There is nothing like that.
All you have to do is let Dayeon take the lead and charge.
Dayeon’s face, a free pass to any space in the company…
There were a lot of adults who found Dayeon and were friendly to her, so Dayeon started to show signs of being bothered and uncomfortable.
When I saw Dayeon like that, I spoke on her behalf.
“We’ll take a look on our own.”
“Yes, I understand. I was shameless. Haha.”
People who use extreme honorifics even when speaking to me.
Previously at the branch in Seoul,
While I was excitedly walking around with Dayeon, there was an executive-level person who spoke rudely to me.
An executive who was demoted to a local area.
Maybe he was a higher-ranking executive than I thought, but no one treated me poorly after that.
Because Lee Ki-seok took the same action as touching Hanseong’s direct lineage…
Even though we were having meetings or discussions in an unpleasant atmosphere, it became quiet when Dayeon and I passed by.
Wow… is this the life of a chaebol family…
I see looks mixed with envy, and there are also looks filled with the will to become like that.
Above all, all the people you see, starting from the lowest level employees, are the top 1% of people in Korea…
If you pass by someone and ask them about their alma mater, they will most likely say they graduated from Korea University or a leading overseas university.
There are so many foreigners that if you ask 10 people, they will definitely come out at Harvard, I guarantee that.
“Kwaaah! It’s done!!!”
“What should we do!?”
“Why didn’t you bring that…”
“sorry…”
The room suddenly became noisy.
When Dayeon and I looked closely, there were four people in the conference room, and among them, a man who looked about my father’s age was holding his head.
“What should I do? Haha… I’m sure the manager will be very angry… Hey Jaehoon, how many hours are left until the meeting?”
“There are 4 hours left.”
“Oh really…”
I made eye contact with a man who looked away from his laptop for a moment.
“”Heeek!!!!””
And the man next to us named Jaehoon also noticed us and was scared as if he had seen a ghost.
Dayeon noticed me, so I opened the door and entered the conference room.
“hello?”
“Yes, yes!!! Hello!”
“Can I take a look?”
“Sure!”
The three of us suddenly started concentrating on work when we were grumbling, and a man about my father’s age brought us chairs.
“Would you like some coffee… no, maybe a drink?”
I suddenly felt like teasing him and looked at him.
“Why did you cancel the coffee I mentioned earlier?”
A man begins to break into a cold sweat at my question.
After thinking about it for a while, he starts by digging into the apple.
“sorry!”
“The reason is?”
“I thought you wouldn’t like it.”
“Why?”
“My nephew is similar in age to you… but he hates coffee, so I thought you did too!”
Oh… that’s a better excuse than I thought.
“Then give me a drink, something I think the child will like…”
“…yes!”
The only person I pranked was this guy, but the three people were even more sweaty…
Dayeon tapped my side as if to stop me from bothering her.
I smiled at Dayeon, and Dayeon looked at me and sighed.
The man who went to get drinks found a customer cup and filled it with aloe.
‘Wow… no matter how many times I choose, I have to choose this…’
This drink was one that Dayeon hated very much, saying it made her nervous.
“”…..””
The man began to turn pale, probably because he sensed the X-like atmosphere.
The kind Dayeon tried to force herself to eat, considering the man’s sincerity, but it seemed difficult.
“Wow, Dayeon is really kind… She drinks aloe drinks that I can’t even put my mouth to.”
“Siyuna… don’t be like that… I’m fine… ugh.”
“sorry!”
Perhaps because of their cold sweat, the conference room became hot.
“Isn’t it too hot?”
A man named Jaehoon quickly lowered the temperature of the air conditioner at my words and quickly sat down again.
Look at the angle of the sword. At this level, the angle is better than that of soldiers in the 70s.
The older sister you see over there was concentrating on her work with shaking pupils.
‘What can I see clearly when my pupils are shaking like that?’
“Our Dayeon, you like coffee, right?”
It’s sad to see the man’s seriously trembling eyes, but it’s also quite funny because it seems like he’s making fun of his dad.
I realized that I was having a really bad hobby, so I decided to stop.
“I have some kind of meeting in four hours?”
A man who speaks without a single thought.
“This is about the direction and plan of future business, including the safety of components used in next-generation mobile phones, contract details with small and medium-sized business partners, and initial development costs.”
Even if I just listened to it, I couldn’t touch it even if I wanted to. But I can help.
“Why am I running out of time?”
“I left the completed PPT at my home far away to practice…”
“So you’re making it now?”
“yes…”
“Why don’t you make extras?”
“I was the one to put it together in the end…”
“How much time do you need?”
“I think I’ll need at least… four hours.”
“Then tell them we’re here and ask them to postpone the meeting for 2-3 hours so you can show them around the company and explain the company’s business. If there’s someone who criticizes you, don’t hide it and tell them.”
Only then did he lower his head with an angry expression.
“thank you!”
I smiled brightly when I saw the red-faced man.
“Dayeon’s coffee…”
“Ah… Yes!!!”
I moved my chair and watched the materials they were creating.
My eyes are dizzy from the endless list of documents.
“Hmm…? There’s a spelling mistake there.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“Do you want me to thank you one by one? Just correct it quickly. There’s a mistake in English spelling here…”
I watched and said something.
“45 tons of silicon in a mid-size company factory…?”
“This is a prediction of the future, but it’s too realistic…”
As time goes by, people start to get shocked when I point them out one by one.
“Postponing the meeting for another hour.”
“yes!!”
“New materials… are you developing them for a reason?”
“Yes, there is a company in Japan that has a monopoly on similar technology, but not only is it expensive to import, but there is no way if the Japanese side stops production.”
“So, vertical integration through the acquisition of a new materials business..? What is this again?”
“Ah, yes… Just like the new materials I just mentioned, everything from raw material production to finished product manufacturing and sales is operated as an affiliate. So, in this project in particular, we are trying to acquire this company that has excellent technology in new materials… So, this “If we talk about vertical integration again…”
“Stop! I understand, just say it once.”
“Oh… I’m sorry.”
“Give me the laptop first.”
I took my laptop and read it quickly, correcting any mistakes I made.
Dayeon looks like it’s quite fun to watch next to me.
I didn’t even understand 50% of this project yet, but I was satisfied with this and returned the laptop.
“Is that right, uncle?”
“yes?!”
“What does it say from above?”
“He said he would give me as much time as I wanted and told me to take good care of the ladies.”
At that time, there was suddenly a commotion outside, and the door creaked open.
The four people are scared when they see who it is.
“dad!”
This is Lee Jin-seok, Dayeon’s father.
There was also my dad who stuck out his face to look at me from behind.
“Come to work, Dad.”
“huh!”
As expected, my dad, who never waited more than 5 seconds when I called him, smiled brightly and put his hand on my shoulder from behind.
“What are you doing here?”
“Did you plan a fishing trip with your brother?”
“Why here?”
“Yes, yes, my brother said I have to pretend to be busy.”
Lee Jin-seok’s face rotted rapidly.
Hehe, my dad has no secrets from me.
My father’s remark while smiling brightly was quite a bombshell.
“Did you finish pretending to be busy?”
“…Kuhmm, that’s right…”
“The people here took great care of us, playing with us even though they were busy.”
“Hoo…”
“We wanted to have more fun, so we asked to delay the meeting a little bit. Is that okay?”
“of course.”
Jinseok Lee said something to the secretary next to him and wrote down their names.
The expressions on the faces of those who were suppressing their happy emotions, perhaps filled with unknown pleasure, were quite worth seeing.
“mister.”
“huh?”
“Do you know that Dayeon is good at fishing?”
“Are you serious?!”
“I told you this last time, and Dayeon seemed to enjoy it. Right, Dayeon?”
“Yeah! It was fun. I was going to tell my dad, but Siyuni said…”
“Oh… speak quickly…”
“Hahaha, it’s just a joke~”
Jinseok Lee looked at Dayeon with sparkling eyes.
“Shall we go fishing with Dad next time?”
“Siyuni and you too!”
“Of course~”
Lee Jin-seok seemed to have become awkward with his beloved daughter Dayeon these days, and seemed to want to do something together.
“Oh… father and daughter are going carp fishing next time.”
“That’s a pretty good idea.”
“Right?”
After today, a new rumor began to circulate in Hanseong.
When Dayeon and I came to visit, we were told that if we were selected, we could get promoted very quickly…
I am the daughter-in-law of the Hanseong successor…
