Closed Beta I Played Alone

Chapter 43

Episode 43. meeting (2).

Banquet hall on the 19th floor of Kilton Hotel located in Yeouido.

woozy woozy.

wiggle wiggle.

The fourth generation of a chaebol group that is considered one of the best in Korea.

So, I have been attending quite a few of these gatherings and parties since I was little.

As it is in other countries, in Korea, personal relationships with blood, Jiyeon, and academic ties were very important.

Especially in the business world.

So, even though it was a difficult position, it was not very awkward or atrocious.

I just have to move with my dad and mom, my brother and my sister, shake hands with the president of the Daesung or Gusan side, and just nod my head with a smile on my lips when they say good-bye or jokes.

And at a glance, it was clear that this meeting was not the executive meeting that had been promoted on the surface.

Because the presidents and professional CEOs of each major affiliate, and famous economic professors and academics who gave congratulatory remarks and visions for the future, were not seen.

Instead, it was occupied by those who saw it for the first time.

And they will surely be in charge of ‘Revival Legend’ run by each group.

Anyway, for about 30 minutes, there was a social event accompanied by formal greetings and conversations, and after that, a group of people started moving separately.

On our side, my father, my brother, and Ahn Dong-young, who I know well, moved together.

In addition, before attending today’s event, Seok In-soo, the general manager of ‘Revival Legend’ run by Myung-jin, who was introduced here.

And it was the same for Daesung and Gusan.

The banquet hall where the president and closest aides of each group left.

Nevertheless, the banquet went on.

My mother was talking with the wives of another group in a place set up in one side of the banquet hall, and my sister also had a conversation with women of her age while laughing.

Of course, I was also in a place where my peers gathered.

“brother. Isn’t that funny? It’s a world where people who are stuck in every corner and play games all day become talented people.”

“So the world is going crazy, so all sorts of stupid things happen.”

“Kukk. I don’t know if this is the reason why the number one job for the spouse I want to marry the most in the future is becoming a game junkie.”

“uh? brother. Really?”

“right. right. Chances are good enough. Kikiki.”

“Hey. Still, because there are guys like that, it’s not that we can easily hunt and level up. It drives monsters steadily like a slave. And you dig up golden rings every day and pay a certain amount to the guild headquarters, right? Where can you find such a good worker? So treat me well. run away for nothing

It’s like reading a cow and fixing a barn.”

“a. brother. That’s not it. lets think. They give business cards and salaries to those who can’t even dream of playing games like hikikomori who are locked up in closets for the rest of their lives, but they have to work hard while growing up.”

“right. That’s what Minseok said.”

“Okay. I’m dying of annoyance these days without needing all of that. Virtual reality This is impossible for a proxy game, so I have to take the time to do it myself. Damn it! I can’t even remember the last time I had fun at the club with Kashina, who fell in love with their side.”

“Crazy. You and I went to the club just three days ago.”

“Kukk. Did you?”

“okay. You crazy bastard.”

A conversation that never stops laughing.

But he didn’t intervene.

No, I didn’t.

am i good? Why can’t I say bad things to others? Or do you have the idea that all human beings are equal?

no.never.

There’s only one reason I can’t fit.

Just because I’m a game junkie.

Also, in order to devote as much time to the game as possible, he lives by creating a regular timetable.

So I just listened quietly.

A small room located on one side of the banquet hall on the 19th floor of the Kilton Hotel.

There were 13 people in each group, 4-5 people in each group.

And the oldest member of the group, Jeong Woon-ki, the oldest, spoke first.

Only the function located right next to you to the chief of staff.

“Are you sure the verification work is over?”

“Yes. Clean. And I’ve done everything in advance for wiretapping and soundproofing. With greetings from Daesung and Myeongjin in front.”

“okay. The fewer people you know, the better.”

Chairman Jeong Woon-gi nodded his head in response to the answer of the chief of staff Bom Bo-man.

And immediately after looking at Daesung Chairman Kim Jeong-han and Myungjin Chairman Hong Sang-man once, he opened his mouth.

“Thank you all for accepting my request.”

Gusan, Daesung, and Myeongjin have all been in the name of a large corporation for decades, so they have a long-standing relationship with each other.

So, to the words of Gusan Chairman Jeong Un-ki, Daesung Chairman Kim Jeong-han and Myungjin Chairman Hong Sang-man responded directly with a smile on their lips.

“Say nothing.”

“Even if it’s not here, wouldn’t it be a place that should have been created someday? I think I’m a little late.”

“Hahaha. Thanks for thinking that way. Then everyone is busy, so let’s get right to the point. First of all, isn’t what happened on the Isle of Wailing a tragedy for all of us?”

The island of wailing that came out of the mouth of Chairman Jung Un-ki.

When those words came out, Chairman Kim Jeong-han and Chairman Hong Sang-man coughed in vain and opened their mouths.

Because it was not a day or two that they fought fiercely for dominion of the island.

Of course, there was also a lot of damage.

“Hmm. Hmm. Probably…”

“Yes.”

“So how about doing this? It’s not that we lose our strength by fighting for nothing, but that we take control of it and take turns to dominate the Isle of Wailing Month by month. And if there is an attack from other places to take over the Isle of Wailing, the three of us will unite and block it.”

“Are you going to form an alliance now?”

Chairman Hong Sang-man immediately asked the words of Chairman Jung Un-ki.

And to that question, Chairman Jung Woon-gi answered with a smile.

“haha. Can you be so hasty? First of all, if you think about the future, even if it’s not an alliance right now, it’s good to try to guess the sum at least once in advance. Still, we have a long-term relationship and we are from Korea with one blood line, so wouldn’t it be better to go back to back than others? For example, the US or China

Rather than country and Japan.”

“First of all, I agree with you. Even if you don’t know the alliance yet, fighting each other only makes other people a good spectacle. In particular, the future or Daeyu guys are anxious to see it. I don’t think it’s necessary to make things that they like for nothing.”

widely!

“right! That’s what I mean.”

At the words of Daesung Chairman Kim Jeong-han, who was quietly listening, Gusan Chairman Jeong Un-ki slapped him on the knee and struck him back.

And in that small room, the story went on for a while longer.

As the power grows, the range of activities inevitably increases, and the cause of friction is not one island of Wailing.

A side of the banquet hall where stories are in full bloom.

“Jooyoung, long time no see.”

There was someone talking to me.

Kim Chul-min, grandson of Chairman Kim Jeong-han of Daesung, who is the same age as me.

He was smart.

Rumors circulated among the chaebol families.

That’s why all the spotlights among my peers were on him.

In the name of the mother-in-law of a chaebol family.

However, there was a time when the spotlight lit another place in the middle.

right me

Because, after not studying normally, when I decided to start studying, it was rumored that within a year or two, I was admitted to Seoul National University with a perfect score on the SAT, English, Chinese, and several other languages as if it were my native language, so it is a huge topic of discussion among the chaebol families. had no choice but to

Moreover, the group’s secretariat made the packaging very glamorous.

“Huh. A long time.”

Anyway, while we were originally acquainted, we were motivated to enter Seoul National University’s Department of Business Administration.

So I greeted him in the same way.

“By the way, according to the rumors these days, the reason why you didn’t even join the military and return to school is that Myeongjin catches the rumors on Revival Legend faster than anyone else and raises you, right? Even in the military, I keep playing Revival Legend with the power of Myungjin.”

“her…”

For a moment, I had no choice but to cough in vain at Kim Chul-min’s words.

And then he opened his mouth.

“Are you sure you don’t believe those absurd rumors?”

“So Jooyoung’s story about you must be spectacular. So, halfway through without knowing it, I started to believe it.”

“……”

He made no objection to that statement.

“Anyway, it’s good to see you this way. By the way, do you too?”

“uh. yes what.”

Of course, the question is whether you do ‘Revival Legend’.

He nodded his head and replied.

“okay. That’s right. By the way, it’s been a year since I took a leave of absence. My grandfather, who liked going to Seoul National University so much, told me to get rid of it right away. He said that in the future, a Seoul National University diploma would be of little use.”

“I guess… if that actually happened, it would be.”

Obviously, in such a world, a degree from Seoul National University would be of no use, so I nodded my head and answered.

And Kim Chul-min, who saw me like that, continued.

“Anyway, it’s nice to meet you today. see you often It’s because I liked you, who was my older brother, but who was better at discerning things more than anyone else than someone who still couldn’t tell if it was poop or miso.”

“okay. OK.”

I quickly spit out an answer that was almost a bit late.

And not long after I said hello to Kim Chul-min, the chairman of each group and his closest aides came out of the small room.

After that, the meeting masquerading as the day’s management meeting ended.

cordially.

It seemed that the meeting that took place in that small room had a good ending.

Anyway, the meeting ended at 9:30 in the evening.

That day, I also moved to the Cheongdam-dong house.

Cheongdam-dong house.

“Jooyoung, come in too.”

At the words of my father, I also moved to the study in the basement.

Of course, with my older brother and sister, Ahn Dong-young, chief of staff, and Seok In-soo, chief of staff.The conversation that followed was a general review of the meeting, led by a person named Insu Seok.

Mostly my sister and I just listened.

because he wasn’t there

And to be honest, I didn’t have anything to worry about.

Because most of the stories were about Daesung and Kusan and that they would maintain a good relationship in the future.

Of course, there was one memory that came to pass along the way.

The fight with 11 Daesung guild members in the ant den.

But it was overlooked.

It was such a small thing, and you wouldn’t know that I was the target.

After that, the meeting ended with the statement that it is dangerous to 100% believe in Daesung and Gusan because there will inevitably be a struggle for dominance in the Republic of Korea someday.

Finally, with the mention that we should continue to pay attention to the future and Daeyou, which are a little behind the present.

And just as everyone left after the meeting, my dad called me up.

“okay. Are you doing well?”

“Yes.”

“What is lacking?”

“……”

what is lacking?

He did not readily answer his father’s question.

It may or may not be there.

Because today’s conversation suddenly came to mind.

Just as a mother bird feeds her worms into the baby bird’s open mouth, those who drive monsters and more than 10 healers and supporters for themselves.

And it didn’t end there.

They were receiving tremendous support even to the highest level equipment of their level, which was matched by the group’s resources.

Of course, I didn’t feel envious.

Because I have too many things to envy.

To be honest, I didn’t really need it.

But I wanted to say something.

However.

gulp.

He swallowed once and opened his mouth.

“Not yet.”

“okay. I get it. keep working hard If there is anything missing or necessary along the way, please tell your brother or sister immediately.”

“Yes.”
