Kyeong-Hoon Choi, Young-Jun Choi, and Hye-Na Choi.
‘Why didn’t I think of that? It’s the same Mr. Choi. ‘No.’
I did a lot of research on Choi Kyeong-hoon, but I couldn’t find any information about Choi Hye-na anywhere.
It was clear that Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon had completely hidden her on purpose.
‘Why did he do that?’
I was able to make a prediction based on the story I heard in front of Hye-na’s mother’s grave, but it wasn’t certain.
However, considering that she kept saying that she should run away, I thought that Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon might not be friendly towards her.
It may not matter if you are a good employee, but what if you are a son-in-law?
His background does not provide much help to Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon’s business.
The more money they have, the more power they have, the more they want money, and greedy people who try to link everything to money.
Their families were also involved in money issues, and it was the chaebols who had to accept that reality.
‘Is Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon like that too?’
Kim Cheol-soo, who was standing in front of the stop, looked inside the bus leaving with a loud engine noise.
Since it was Sunday, I saw people sitting sparsely.
Why do you guys look so tired?
Hyena was special.
He was a beautiful, lovely person, and the more I met him, the more I smiled.
I thought that as long as I could have a happy family with a good person, work hard, and achieve social success, that would be a successful life.
‘But is there really any difference? I love Hye-na, and I’m just going to meet my future father-in-law. Just because she is the scion of her chaebol family doesn’t change anything. ‘Let’s not be scared!’
Of course, going to meet your ordinary father-in-law is equally nerve-wracking.
No matter what happens when he meets Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon today, Kim Cheol-soo will take this bus to work at this time tomorrow and the day after.
This wasn’t going to change my daily life.
And when I thought back to my private meeting with the chairman last year, he wasn’t that tight-lipped.
Looking at the path he took, I thought he would be an open-minded person who could accept quite a few things.
‘Let’s be courageous! Don’t be scared. If things don’t work out, you have to leave a way out. Let’s come to our senses so that we can do that.’
Kim Cheol-soo clasps both cheeks with his palms! I made a sound and clenched my fists.
Then I got off in front of the company and bought the most expensive stationery at a nearby convenience store.

Choi Gyeong-hoon, who woke up early in the morning and looked at albums in the study, potted one of the orchids he had grown with great care after breakfast.
It was a mutant spring orchid discovered in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do, and was a rare species.
This spring orchid, whose leaves are only 10cm long, has a unique shape with a yellow border surrounding the green leaves.
The value was over 100 million won per candle, and the pot in which it was bonsai contained 8 candles.
In market price, it was worth 800 million won.
Butler Bae Chung-sik came to Choi Gyeong-hoon as a painter.
“The expected guest has arrived.”
“Take me to the Sarangchae. Tell them I’ll be out in 10 minutes.”
“all right.”
Bae Chung-sik bowed his head and went out, and Choi Gyeong-hoon filled the pot with soil with his steady hand gestures.
Meanwhile, Kim Cheol-soo, who visited Choi Kyung-hoon’s huge mansion with Choi Hye-na, was amazed.
Several gardeners were tending the garden, and the inside of the house was magnificent.
It was gorgeous, as if I had visited a well-decorated amusement park.
“Wow! I really like the house.”
It was a scene that was nothing special for Choi Hye-na, who occasionally visited, but it didn’t seem to be so for Kim Cheol-soo.
Unlike Choi Hye-na, who couldn’t sleep at all last night because she was worried about her father’s meeting, Kim Cheol-soo had a peaceful expression.
“Cheolsu, do you still have some free time?”
“There isn’t one! I’m just pretending there is one.”
“Really? I don’t think so.”
Kim Cheol-soo smiled and held her hand tightly.
Kim Cheol-soo’s hands were damp from sweat.
Choi Hye-na nodded and whispered quietly.
“this.”
“Because he’s a salesperson. It’s not noticeable on his face.”
Choi Hye-na laughed as if it was absurd.
“From now on, if I want to find out whether Cheolsu is lying or not, I will have to hold his hand and talk to him.”
“Ah! It’s a secret. It’s a big problem if it’s found out.”
Kim Cheol-soo’s mischievous laughter made Choi Hye-na’s pounding heart gradually subside.
Is it because of his warm hands, or his bright smile?
Or is it because of this person’s efforts to act calm even in this situation?
After passing through the garden, Bae Chung-sik appeared in front of the door.
“Are you here, lady?”
“Yes. How have you been? Uncle?”
“Of course. If the Chairman is doing well, then I am also doing well. Is the person next to you Mr. Kim Cheol-soo?”
“nice to meet you.”
Bae Chung-sik bowed politely to the two and said.
“My name is Bae Chung-sik, and I am the manager of the Chairman’s house. Please follow me. You will be able to meet the Chairman in 10 minutes.”
Choi Hye-na and Kim Cheol-soo followed him and sat on the sofa in the sarangchae.
Bae Chung-sik, who brought out the fruit and drinks, bowed his head again and left, and Kim Cheol-soo took a short breath and then another long exhale.
“Whoa….”

“are you okay?”
“Haha, no! For a man, the day he enlists and this day are probably the most stressful days.”
“Is it that much?”
“Of course. Hahaha.”
“Why do you keep smiling?”
“Haha, I’m not sure.”
Choi Hye-na poked Kim Cheol-soo in the side.
“Stop laughing, please!”
“That makes me less nervous. Haha..”
“When you see your father, look surprised, as if you didn’t expect anything at all.”
“It’s true that I really didn’t expect it since you told me last night, but… would it be better if I did that?”
“I don’t know, neither do I. I guess so?”
**
Stories from the Sarangchae were playing quietly from the speakers in the garden.
In Choi Gyeong-hoon’s hand was a potted plant with a finished bonsai.
Choi Gyeong-hoon, who had been quietly listening to their story, smiled and stood up.
‘All this time, I was dating Hye-na without knowing she was my daughter? They are fun guys. ‘Seeing as she came here knowingly, it seems that she doesn’t like Hye-na out of the ordinary.’
When Choi Kyung-hoon appeared holding a flower pot through the connected door, Kim Cheol-soo jumped up from the sofa.
Kim Cheol-soo, who looked like the most surprised person in the world, quickly bowed his back and said.
“Uh… Chairman!”
Choi Kyung-hoon burst into laughter as he recalled their conversation that came out of the garden speakers.
‘If you didn’t hear that story, it would look like you came here without knowing.’
“Was it you? The bad guy meeting my daughter?”
Choi Kyung-hoon sat down across from them with a cold expression, completely different from his true feelings.
Kim Cheol-soo seemed to lose consciousness for a moment as he looked at Choi Kyeong-hoon, who burst out laughing and immediately showed a cold expression.
But soon, with a vicious spirit, I grabbed hold of my fading spirit again.
“It is true that I am seeing your daughter, but I am not a bad person.”
Looking at Choi Kyung-hoon glaring at him with tiger-like eyes, Kim Cheol-soo answered seriously and calmly.
“How are you going to prove that you’re not a bad guy?”
“…”
“Father! Why are you complaining again!”
When Choi Hye-na screamed, Choi Gyeong-hoon played with his ears and frowned.
“I’m already wearing a hearing aid because my hearing isn’t good. Are you planning to make your only child deaf?”
“No! That’s not true. Why are you fighting to begin with?”
“You should go out for a while. I have something to talk about alone with this guy.”
Choi Hye-na shouted firmly.
“No. I will listen too!”
“Inseok! Get out!”
Kim Cheol-soo turned his head to Choi Hye-na and whispered.
“Hyena, it would be better to listen to what your father says.”
“Absolutely not. He’s a very mean person and I don’t know how much I’ll nag him.”
“You’re being mean to your father. It’s okay, Hye-na. Trust me? Got it?”
As Kim Cheol-soo smiled and gently comforted her, Choi Hye-na, who was grinning, glared at Choi Kyeong-hoon once and got up and went outside.
Choi Hye-na blows a cold wind and slams the door! As I closed the door and left, Choi Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue.
“With a brat who humiliates his father in front of his lover.”
After saying that, Choi Kyung-hoon looked at Kim Cheol-soo and asked.
“When did you find out?”
“Actually… I heard it from Hye-na yesterday.”
‘He’s an honest guy.’
Choi Kyung-hoon nodded and asked.
“Did you have the courage to come here?”
“The joy was much greater than the fear.”
Choi Kyung-hoon smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the good impression starting from the facial features and the eyes filled with strong will.
Unlike his cold expression at first, Kim Cheol-soo, who was quick to notice Choi Kyung-hoon’s clearly different appearance, felt his turbulent mind calm down somewhat.
“So you’re going to marry a colt like that?”
“I intend to do so if fate allows.”
“This guy! What movie line is he reciting?”
“no.”
“How much do you like that guy?”
“It’s my favorite thing in the world.”
“What was so good about it? All I could see was a mess, tsk!”
“It’s hard to explain, but to me, they all just look like pretty corners.”
Kyung-Hoon Choi glanced at Cheol-Soo Kim and said.
“Everyone says that in front of me. I’m not impressed.”
Kyung-Hoon Choi pointed to the bonsai orchid in front of him.
“Do you know what this is?”
“I am.”
“Yes, orchids. Have you ever grown orchids?”
“I haven’t raised it.”
“Yes. It is difficult for someone your age to develop the habit of growing orchids. This orchid is a rare species that is one of only a few in Korea. Its name is ‘Silla.’ The market price is about 800 million won. If it goes to auction, it will fetch 1 billion won. “You can get more than that.”
Kim Cheol-soo looked at Choi Kyeong-hoon quietly as if asking what he was talking about.
“Do you really think you and Hye-na can get along?”
“……”
“I mean, is this enough money to break up with Hye-na and keep her mouth shut? Of course, if you turn down this deal, you won’t get anything and your life could be ruined. It’s better to make a wise choice. I also don’t want to lose a good employee. “Because.”
Kim Cheol-soo closed his eyes once and opened them at the unexpected story, and Choi Kyung-hoon glared at Kim Cheol-soo with a beast-like gaze.
As I worked with people in business, I saw too many cases of people who grew up without money betraying themselves for the money that was right in front of them.
As a result, the business also stumbled several times.
For Kim Cheol-soo, who grew up poor, 1 billion won would have been a lot of money, enough to change his values.
‘What choice will you make?’
Kim Cheol-su clenched his molars and fell into thought for a moment as he looked at Choi Kyung-hoon, who was glaring at him fiercely.
‘Is that… serious?’
It’s been four months since I officially met Hye-na.
There was no way that Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon, who cared enough about his daughter to keep her existence secret, did not know that he and Hye-na were dating.
If this action was sincere, she would have called Kim Cheol-soo early in the relationship and done it right away.
Although it was a very short time, the atmosphere was so heavy that cold sweat ran down my back.
Kim Cheol-soo closed his eyes for a moment and opened his mouth again, swallowing heavily.
“There was a reason why Hye-na said the chairman was a bad person.”
“what?”
Choi Gyeong-hoon looked at Kim Cheol-soo, who was looking straight at him without being discouraged, with a shocked expression.
Come here right away
Kyung-Hoon Choi stared at Cheol-Soo Kim for a long time as if he was dumbfounded.
That’s what you say to the person who is in charge of your life in a situation like this.
“You are a bold person. So why am I such a bad person?”
“Chairman, didn’t you think Hye-na’s value was only 1 billion? I can’t convert it into money. So I can’t do something bad like wash my mouth in exchange for that small flower pot.”
“So you’re saying you can’t break up?”
“Yes. That will never, ever happen.”
“Do you know who I am?”
In response to Choi Kyeong-hoon’s scolding, Kim Cheol-soo did not avoid it and confidently shouted.
“Yes. Do whatever you want, Chairman. If you tell me to resign, I will resign right away.”
Choi Kyung-hoon was even more impressed.
“What on earth do you believe in?”
“I believe in what I think.”
“What if that thought is wrong?”
“I believe it won’t be wrong.”
“What is the basis?”
Kyung-Hoon Choi asked in a questioning manner, and Cheol-Soo Kim also answered quickly.
“I’m still investigating the chairman’s background. However, this is the first time I found out that Hye-na is the chairman’s daughter. I don’t think the chairman, who is so cautious, doesn’t know that I’m dating Hye-na. If he stopped by a flower pot like today, “If you were going to say that, you would have done it in the first place, wouldn’t you?”
Kyung-Hoon Choi thought as he quietly looked at the confident face of Cheol-Soo Kim.
‘You mean this naked guy was reading my thoughts? Well, all the hard work I put into it has become meaningless. It would be nice to have such a smart guy by Hye-na’s side…’
A father’s worries about having a daughter.
Kim Cheol-soo’s abilities have already been proven several times.
It was clear that he was a talent that the company should not miss, and if he built his career and developed his management skills, he could have been used in an important position.
However, whether or not one could remain faithful to the family even after marriage was a question of another level.
It was a situation to confirm the sincerity, but it was meaningless because Kim Cheol-soo had already read his intentions.
Any hint of how much that guy cared for Hye-na also disappeared.
Choi Kyung-hoon burst out in empty laughter.
“Hehehe. Shit.”
When Kim Cheol-soo heard Choi Kyung-hoon’s smile mixed with laughter, the tension in his body eased slightly.
‘You got it right.’
Choi Kyung-hoon stopped laughing and said nothing for a long time with a serious expression.
As Kim Cheol-soo watched him, he felt like his mouth was dry again.
“I want Hye-na to be happy. When I think of my wife who suffered alone while meeting someone like me, I don’t want to give her to someone like me.”
“yes.”
“It’s natural for young people to meet each other, but getting married is another matter.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“Hye-na is the child born after the person I loved the most changed his life. As per her mother’s will, I made a great effort not to let her become entangled in my life. The reason I did not add her to my family register is the same. To cut off the public’s attention. So he could do whatever he wanted without worrying about what anyone thought. But when he gets married, he, like you, has no choice but to receive the world’s attention. That can be exciting or painful. there is.”
The strict and strong wrinkles like whale tendons, which were always full of energy, were no longer visible on Choi Kyung-hoon’s face.
Choi Kyung-hoon’s usual angry expression was not his usual expression.
“Isn’t this the place you came to get permission for marriage?”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“Then can you keep quiet about what I said about him today?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Okay. Take this flower pot.”
“But I’m not accepting this….”
“What I told you earlier was a lie. This is a very common orchid that can be found anywhere. I was just trying to test you.”
“Ah! I see.”
As Kim Cheol-soo nodded, Choi Kyung-hoon also smiled and nodded.
“It’s not a bad idea to have a hobby of growing orchids.”
Kim Cheol-soo couldn’t figure out Choi Kyung-hoon’s intentions, so he just blinked.
‘You’re suddenly growing orchids?’
Choi Kyung-hoon looked at Kim Cheol-soo, who was looking at him with blank eyes, and opened his mouth.
“I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I think our meeting should end here.”
Kyung-Hoon Choi said while looking at his watch, and Cheol-Soo Kim nodded and quickly took out a letter from his pocket that he had bought at a convenience store in the early morning.
“What is this? What letter in this day and age?”
Choi Gyeong-hoon burst into laughter as he looked at the letter, which was covered in a lot of glue and sealed so tightly that it was difficult to open.
“This is a gift to the chairman.”
“A gift? Your sincerity is truly noble.”
“But please don’t open it now.”
“why?”
Choi Kyung-hoon had a curious expression, and Kim Cheol-soo’s expression was quite serious.
“Someday, when a problem arises that you can’t handle, then do it, Mr. President.”
Choi Gyeong-hoon, who remembered something from a novel called ‘Sangdo’ that he had read a while ago, burst out laughing when he saw Kim Cheol-soo speaking with an expression full of sincerity.
“What? Haha, you are a very interesting person. Is this really something that will get me out of trouble?”
Kim Cheol-soo also answered with a secret smile.
“I hope so. It won’t help you if you open it and read it when the time is not right.”
It was a ridiculous story.
He said he found out last night that he was the person he needed to meet.
Choi Gyeong-hoon, who guessed that Kim Cheol-soo, who couldn’t decide what to bring as a gift, was using a trick, nodded lightly.
“Really? Just wait for me. If you disappoint me, you will end up regretting it.”
“Yes! Chairman!”
“Go. It’s nice to see the colt fidgeting and stamping his feet.”
“Then our relationship… do you approve?”
“Are you stupid enough to have to confirm that again?”
“Thank you, father-in-law!!!”
“what?”
However, Kim Cheol-soo had already opened the door of the sarangchae and hurried out, holding a flower pot in his arms, and Choi Kyung-hoon burst into laughter for a long time as he watched him.
“Yes. You can get a chance because you are brave. But!”
Choi Gyeong-hoon stood up, holding the letter Kim Cheol-soo gave him tightly in his fist.
He had a strong desire to acquire a capable son-in-law who would be of great help to the group.
But I also didn’t like having a guy next to Hye-na who wasted all his time at work for his own ambitions.
I wanted to get a man as my son-in-law who was ambitious, talented, good at work, faithful to his family, and who would not cheat and only love Hye-na.
“When you work at a company, you get promoted and get bigger bonuses, but raising worthless orchids is frustrating, hard work, and unrewarding. For a man, that’s what a family is. Raising orchids… means raising a family. “It’s like packing.”
‘If you knew what I was thinking, you would be able to figure out why I gave you the naan. Only then will he be qualified to be my son-in-law.’
