Kim Cheol-soo stood for a moment in front of the executive director’s office and adjusted his collar.
It is true that I sang at Blue House because I wanted to get to know Choi Youngjun.
However, I didn’t expect that person to call me first.
He may seem like a person who has escaped the competition for group management rights now, but 10 years later, he was a person who competed for group management rights until the end.
Kim Cheol-soo wanted to go with Choi Young-jun because his personality was very different from that of the other successors, who were overbearing and authoritarian.
My dream is to make him the chairman and myself to become the president of Hanyoung Corporation.
Leaving Kim Cheol-soo adjusting his clothes behind, Choi Young-jun’s secretary knocked on the door of the executive director’s office.
“Manager. Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo came to visit.”
There was a misunderstanding.
Youngjun Choi stood up from his chair at the words of his secretary while working.
“I ask you to come in.”
As soon as Kim Cheol-soo saw Choi Young-jun, he quickly bowed.
“hello! “This is assistant manager Kim Cheol-soo.”
“Nice to meet you. “Let’s sit over here.”
“yes. “Director.”
Choi Young-jun told his secretary to bring out coffee and sat down across from assistant manager Kim Cheol-soo.
“What about Sales Team 5?”
“I like it very much.”
When Kim Cheol-soo answered cheerfully, Choi Young-jun smiled and nodded lightly.
“Team Leader Ahn praised me so much that I wanted to meet him personally.”
“no. Managing Director. I didn’t do anything. It was possible because Team Leader Ahn Jeong-gyu gave me the opportunity, Deputy Manager Pyo Il-soo gave me courage, and Manager Lee Jun-hak taught me a lot. “This was possible because all five sales teams were there.”
If he was able to increase nearly 10% of the company’s sales by himself, he would be proud, but Kim Cheol-soo did not show any flaws.
“You received a scouting offer not long ago, right?”
“yes. “Director.”
“I want to know why you chose this company without being swayed by such good conditions.”
Kim Cheol-soo, who fought and rebelled against his father every day while choosing music instead of studying, recalled the words his father whispered in his ear before his death when he was brought to the hospital with his body half crushed.
Of course, my first thought was to become the president of this company, but in fact, the foundation of that wish was my father’s will.
“My father had a will. Don’t be a migratory bird and protect your first home. I was a rebellious child who never listened to my father’s words throughout my life, but when my father passed away, the void left was so great that I reflected greatly. And I really wanted to keep my father’s last will.”
Choi Young-jun recalled Kim Cheol-soo’s home environment.
Although the environment is better now, singing at Blue House and working at the company day and night and on weekends, it was an incredibly difficult environment to believe that someone like Kim Cheol-soo came from such a family.
From that perspective, it would have been difficult to resist the scouting offer, but after listening to what he said, I understood it to some extent.
“Oh, well.”
“That’s why.”
“I’m glad that the company recognizes Assistant Manager Kim’s sincerity.”
“I think so too.”
The secretary brought out coffee, and the two took a sip each to relax for a moment.
“There is one question I must ask personally to the person I like.”
Kim Cheol-soo felt his heart pounding when he heard that he was the person he liked.
‘I can’t believe Executive Director Choi is attracted to me.’
Choi Young-jun played with his coffee cup for a moment and then saw Kim Cheol-soo staring at him intently.
“Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo, how far do you want to go with this company?”
At those words, Kim Cheol-soo placed his gaze on the table for a moment.
Should I say boss?
or not···.
Kim Cheol-soo focused his gaze on Choi Young-jun again.
Looks more ordinary than expected.
But there was something unknown hidden inside.
Otherwise, there would be no way he would have held out until the end in the unfavorable battle for succession structure.
“I want to be the person who follows right behind you at official events.”
He looked completely different from Manager Ahn Jung-gyu, Managing Director Yoo Young-sik, and Vice President Shin Byeong-hoon.
Unlike those who calculated and hid their claws, Kim Cheol-soo was bold and active.
They say he is already following Ahn Jung-gyu’s line, but he is not someone who is simply good at his job.
In that case, it would not be easy to choose someone who was in a very disadvantageous position within the company, but Kim Cheol-soo said without hesitation that he wanted to be his own person.
Youngjun Choi trembled for a moment.
The thrill you feel when talented people choose you ran down your spine.
“ha ha ha. “You have a lot of ambition.”
“When I was young, my dream was to become president. As time passed and I became more aware of reality, my dreams also became more realistic. Right now, I want to be like that. “I don’t know how much smaller it will become as I work longer.”
Choi Young-jun nodded and opened his mouth as if he greatly agreed with Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
“Let’s work hard to make sure that dream doesn’t get any smaller.”
Kim Cheol-soo also smiled and responded to Choi Young-jun’s words.
“Thank you for your understanding. “Manager.”
Choi Young-jun wanted to hear more details about winning the contract in Nigeria this time, and Kim Cheol-soo also explained in detail.
“So you ended up writing an unconditional contract.”
“Yes, that happened.”
“Have you calculated up to that point?”
“no. I wanted to save someone’s life. “The results were unexpected.”
Choi Young-jun nodded at Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
‘You have a good personality. Otherwise, there would be no reason to be moved by such people.’

“okay.”
As Youngjun Choi took a sip of cold coffee, he suddenly thought of Blue House.
“Actually, I saw Assistant Manager Kim a few days ago. “And in a very fun place.”
At those words, Kim Cheol-soo opened his eyes and looked at Choi Young-jun.
“She sings very well.”
“ah. that is···.”
“It’s okay because our company doesn’t have a clause prohibiting concurrent employment in the manual.”
Kim Cheol-soo sighed briefly at Choi Young-jun’s words, but unconsciously raised his head in response to the question that followed.
“What is your relationship with Hye-na?”
“yes?”
When Choi Young-jun’s second story came out, Kim Cheol-soo’s eyes darkened slightly.
‘In the end, did you call me to talk about this?’
“It’s not that big of a deal. It’s the level of an employer-employee relationship. “It’s not the strange relationship that the executive director is concerned about.”
“You mean I’m concerned?”
“that is······.”
Kim Cheol-soo hesitated for a long time.
It was at this point that he declared that he would go with Choi Young-jun.
I opened my mouth, thinking that there was a need to clearly resolve the misunderstanding.
“I know very well that President Choi Hye-na is a person whom the Executive Director cherishes. “So she’s trying to avoid getting closer to her even more.”
‘This is someone I care about, but they don’t want to get close to me?’
Rather, Choi Youngjun had doubts.
“Do you know my relationship with President Choi Hye-na?”
“Yes, I heard that rumor. “CEO Choi Hye-na is the executive director’s secret lover.”
‘It’s not that I’m an inconsiderate idiot… I was cautious because I misunderstood the relationship between me and Hye-na. ‘How can things turn out like this?’
At those words, Choi Youngjun started laughing out loud with a ridiculous expression on his face.
Kim Cheol-soo couldn’t make up his mind when he saw Choi Young-jun suddenly laughing like crazy.
‘Why are you doing that?’
Choi Youngjun, who took a while to control his laughter, cleared his throat and spoke quietly.
“Deputy Manager Kim Cheol-soo is mistaken, and the rumors are not true at all.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. “Director.”
Choi Young-jun was lost in thought as he looked at Kim Cheol-soo with his head lowered.
‘If I say you’re my half-brother, the burden may be greater. ‘If the background difference is too great, one side often gives up.’
“I love my wife and children more than anything in the world.”
Youngjun Choi spoke briefly with a serious expression.
Kim Cheol-soo saw his expression and tone of voice and realized that the current situation was not something he was simply trying to avoid.
“Thanks to them, I was able to change from a messy person, and the Choi Young-jun exists today. I would never betray my wife and children. But what about a hidden lover? This doesn’t make sense. President Choi Hye-na is like a close friend of mine since childhood. “It’s absurd that such unfounded rumors are going around.”
Only then did Kim Cheol-soo know for sure that Choi Hye-na was not Choi Young-jun’s lover.
‘Someone like a friend.’
“I am truly sorry for believing only in rumors and misunderstanding the executive director.”
“it’s okay. “In fact, I like Assistant Manager Kim even more since he said he was careful because of that.”
Youngjun Choi turned his eyes to look at the calendar and then opened his mouth.
“It’s already Christmas Eve.”
“yes! “Manager.”
“Are you singing at the Blue House again today?”
“yes. “I always sing on Friday and Saturday nights.”
“So you’ll have time to meet your girlfriend? “She won’t like it if I tell her she still works on Christmas.”
At Choi Young-jun’s words, Kim Cheol-soo shook his head and said with a completely disapproving expression.
“I don’t have a girlfriend yet.”
“Oh yeah? “A person like Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo still doesn’t have a girlfriend?”
Youngjun Choi received the report a while ago.
According to the secretary who followed Kim Cheol-soo for two weeks, he said he was not seeing any women.
I actually couldn’t believe that Kim Cheol-soo, who was good at work, good at singing, good personality, and good-looking, wasn’t dating a woman, so I wanted to check it out here.
“I am currently concentrating on my company work. “I can’t afford to do that yet.”
Seeing Kim Cheol-soo answering seriously, Choi Young-jun smiled and nodded.
‘You two had a misunderstanding.’
“okay. “It’s great to work for the company, but you also need to take care of your personal relationships.”
“I will take the managing director’s advice to heart.”
After briefly talking about a few things, Youngjun Choi looked at his watch and stood up.
“I think I took up too much of Assistant Manager Kim’s time.”
Kim Cheol-soo quickly got up and thought about team leader Ahn Jung-gyu.
“If I don’t return to the team now, there will be people who will doubt me.”
“okay. I had fun today. And I wish you all the best in the future.”
When Choi Young-jun bowed deeply, Kim Cheol-soo was surprised and bowed even deeper than Choi Young-jun.
“What remains of our company after rejecting a scouting offer with good conditions? And I am truly grateful that you chose me on a day when I was lacking.”
Kim Cheol-soo’s heart was touched without realizing it by the sight of Choi Young-jun.
He bows sincerely and expresses gratitude to a one-year employee who has nothing.
To Kim Cheol-soo, who had experienced all kinds of ups and downs in the world, this scene seemed like an unrealistic fantasy movie.
‘You had a weapon like this. this person.’
“no. “Manager.”
“Let’s try our best.”
Choi Young-jun held out his hand, and Kim Cheol-soo closed his eyes for a moment, opened them, and accepted the handshake he held out.
“Please take care of me too.”
