Chapter 52

Tirling!

I was forced to open my eyes at the sound of the ringing and picked up her cell phone.

I got a call in my sleep.

“Hello.”

A woman’s voice could be heard in her ears.

[Jinhoo senior!]

“···········?”

Someone asked me to check the screen, and it was Shin Yuri.



I said rubbing my eyes.

“Oh, Yuri. What’s up?”

[Senior, did you say you are going back to school this semester?]

“Huh.”

It’s already been 3 years since I’ve been on leave of absence, so I’m really thinking about going back to school this year.

[Did you apply for reinstatement?]

“It should be done soon.”

Yuri said urgently.

[Application deadline is today.]

“What?

When did that time come?

[Come to school now. See you in front of the student center by 4:30. Got it?]

“uh. Okay.”

The call is over.

I looked at the time and it was 3:20. It’s pretty tight by 4:30.

I quickly washed up and got dressed. Taek-gyu asked as he saw me preparing in a hurry.

“Where?”

“Go to school to apply for reinstatement.”

Then the boy asked, as if puzzled.

“Didn’t you beat the school?”

“·················ogue.”

haven’t hit it yet

* * *

When I arrived in front of the student union, I saw a blond-haired female student.

She is of moderate height, slender body, and a small face. Her golden hair was tied up and tied up, and she wore a black choker around her exposed nape.

I haven’t seen her in a long time, but she’s still pretty.

“Come on. Hurry up, old man.”

“Okay.”

I went into the student center with Yuri. Thanks to the haste, I was able to submit the application safely.

Yuri looked at me and said as if reproaching me.

“What would have happened if I hadn’t told you to come? So, seniors, I have to take care of each and every one of them.”

Not all applications are over. The process of paying the most important tuition remains.

I was surprised when I checked the tuition bill.

“340 million won?”

For a moment, I thought I was wrong.

I think it was in the late 2 million won before joining the military, but when did it go up like this?

I’ve heard that tuition has gone up, but I didn’t know it had risen like this. If this is enough for a national university, how much for a private university?

That’s almost 7 million won a year, which is a huge burden for middle-class families.

I too was worried about tuition fees until I was discharged last year. It doesn’t matter now.

“Did you apply today too?”

Yuri shook her head and said.

“I took a year off from the beginning, so I don’t have to apply separately.”

So, did you come to school on purpose because of me?

As I was about to say thank you, this thought occurred to me.

“Can’t we do this over the internet?”

In this day and age, do you need to come to school and apply for reinstatement? All you need to do is go to the school website, enter your student number, and click a few clicks.

Yuri was taken aback by my words.

“Well, that’s….”

But then he smiled and said.

“Hey, what does that matter? It is important that you have successfully completed your application for reinstatement.”

“It is not.”

Anyway, if he hadn’t called today, his leave of absence would have been forcibly extended.

“You haven’t eaten? Let’s go eat, senpai.”

“I’ll buy you today.”

I asked, pointing to the central library building.

“scholarship?”

Then, the glass was colored.

“What do you mean? To eat, you have to eat right. How about beef?”

“Huh?”

What money do students on leave of absence have?

Yuri looked at my expression and smiled playfully.

“just joke. I’ll buy it, so let’s go eat something really good. Shall we take a taxi?”

“I came by car.”

I was in a hurry so I just rode out.

I took out the remote control key and pressed the button.

Beep!

A light came on from a parked blue sports car.

Yuri widened her eyes as if surprised.

“It’s an i8. Did you buy your car?”

I shook my head.

“no. It’s not my car, it’s my friend’s car.”

The price of the car alone is almost 200 million. It’s not a car that an average college student can drive.

“By the way, can you ride? Even close friends say they don’t lend a car very well.”

“OK. I don’t go out of the house well anyway.”

“·················ogue.”

* * *

I followed the directions and drove the car towards Dosan Park. Meanwhile, Yuri called and made a reservation.

Arrived at a sushi restaurant.

Looking at the menu board outside, the price of dinner omakase is 180,000 won per person.

He goes to eat stuff like this.

We sat side by side at the tachi and ordered omakase.

“Give me a beer.”

“I have to drive.”

“You can call me.”

“Is that so?”

It was late in the evening, so not long after we arrived, people started pouring in. Soon, not only the seats but also the rooms filled up.

If I hadn’t booked in advance, I wouldn’t have been able to come.

We bumped into beer mugs. The cold beer went straight down my throat.

“When classes start, it’s the same sophomore year.”

Yuri took a leave of absence last year and went to the United States for language training. Since both of them don’t have much time in Korea, we rarely see each other.

However, if I can forget Yuri, he has contacted me once.

At first, I thought he liked me, but it doesn’t seem to be. It feels more like a human interest rather than a rational interest. But if you say that there is no rational interest at all, it doesn’t seem like that.

In any case, they are still maintaining a close senior-junior relationship.

“Can I get something so expensive and eat it?”

“of course. I made a lot of money thanks to my seniors.”

“Huh? what money?”

Yuri rolled her eyes and said.

“Seoseong Electronics has risen a lot.”

“Alas.”

After the L6 discontinuation incident, there was even talk of withdrawing from the smartphone market.

However, Seosung Electronics worked hard to restore consumer confidence by strengthening safety so that a similar incident would not happen again, and released the premium model L7 as scheduled a year later.

L7 has created a sensational popularity, purging the nightmare of a year ago. In addition, the semiconductor and home appliance divisions have also grown, and the stock price has risen to 1.9 million won above its previous high.

There was an atmosphere in the stock market predicting that it would soon exceed 2 million won.

“Did you say you have 20 weeks?”

Yuri smiled at my question and shook her head.

“no.”

“Did you sell it in the meantime?”

“no. In fact, after that, I split it several times and bought another 30 weeks. So now I have a total of 50 weeks.”

“·················ogue.”

This is almost 1 billion.

After all, the house we already live in is over 2 billion won, so 100 million won in stock?

“In the future, I have to follow the advice of my seniors.”

I laughed bitterly.

“I am no expert.”

“No. From my point of view, seniors seem to have a keen sense of investment. If you graduate and work there, you will do well.”

“·················ogue.”

It seems that the kid who noticed this has a keen sense of humor.

Each piece of sushi was served, the chef kindly explained.

“This is Akamizuke. This is Autoro.”

We drank beer and ate sushi.

“Isn’t this delicious?”

“Yes.”

After eating it, I think I can understand why people pay a lot of money to come to this place.

In the first place, cheap or expensive is a relative concept to the last. Even if you eat 200,000 won, if you think that the taste and service are good for the amount you paid, that is enough. On the other hand, if you think that eating 5,000 won is not worth it, it’s a waste.

“Are you going to senior OT?”

“no.”

As a returning student, it’s just awkward to go. If it’s a light day, I think I’ll definitely attend.

“Then what about the welcome party for new students?”

“I don’t think I can go either.”

“why?”

“I’m planning to go to Hong Kong then.”

“Hong Kong? What happened?”

“What is work? I’m just going out to play with my friends. My friend’s older sister works in Hong Kong.”

“Ah! I heard it last time.”

As we talked, the glass was empty. I ordered two more beers.

“I envy you. I want to go to Hong Kong too.”

“You played well in America.”

Then Yuri was furious.

“What do you mean? I just studied hard.”

“Okay. I will believe you.”

“Sheesh.”

Yuri pouted her mouth and said.

“What did that senior do for a year?”

I drank beer and smiled.

“Well, just this and that.”

Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok International Airport.

I got off the plane with Taek-gyu. At the arrival hall, Hyunjoo’s older sister and Ellie were meeting her.

Hyunjoo’s older sister was wearing her highway skirt and blouse, and Ellie was wearing a women’s suit. The short hair style gave off a boyish vibe.

Ellie saw us coming out and waved her hand.

“Welcome to Hongkong!”

Hyunjoo’s older sister said.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“I had a hard time coming here.”

“It’s hard. The first is comfortable.”

Taehyung nodded his head.

“It was more cumbersome to go from home to the airport.”

He was the first to know that he could fly an airplane lying down. Even pajamas were provided inside.

It’s not a long-distance route like the Americas or Europe, and it’s too much of a waste to take First Class to Hong Kong, which is only three or four hours away.

It would have been enough to just ride business class, but we didn’t pay for first class because we didn’t pay for it.

Ellie came up to me and held out her hand.

“It’s been a while, Jinhoo. How have you been?”

I grabbed her hand.

“Yes. How about Ellie?”

She is reunited after almost 3 months. She had met all of them together when she stopped by Hong Kong for a day on her way back from Australia.

Ellie said playfully.

“She’s busy with work, so she’s thinking about running away to Korea,” she said.

Hyun-joo’s sister asked.

“Is your mother okay?”

“of course. She went down with Taek-gyu a few days ago.”

We said goodbye to each other and headed to the parking lot.

Beep!

When Ellie presses the remote control key, she lights up the huge sedan. It’s an S-Class Maybach.

“What is this car?”

“It’s a company car. They told me to meet you without any inconvenience.”

We loaded our luggage into the trunk and climbed into the back seat. It was spacious enough to stretch out your legs.

Hyunjoo noona sat in the passenger seat, and Ellie took the steering wheel. Perhaps because of the British influence, the driver’s seat and road direction were opposite to those of Korea.

The car exited the airport and drove towards the city center.

“I think I will have to go back a bit due to construction work.”

Dozens of high-rise buildings were lined up on both sides of the road. Dozens of signboards stretching out toward the road like a tree with branches are impressive.

As I felt when I came here before, Hong Kong created a strange landscape with a mixture of new buildings that were just completed and old buildings that were likely to collapse at any moment.

The car crossed the sea and entered Hong Kong Island, and soon a different scene appeared. High-rise buildings with glass exterior walls were visible at a glance. When it comes to Seoul, it feels like Teheran-ro.

This is Central, the heart of Hong Kong and the financial center of Asia.

The car stopped at the main gate of a 60-story building. As we got out of the car, the staff at the entrance took the keys from Ellie to park the car.

Above the huge revolving door, I saw the Golden Gate Building written on it.

Taehyung was amazed.

“Your sister was working in a place like this.”

“Let’s go in.”

We followed Hyun-joo’s sister into the building. Ellie said something to the staff at the information desk, and she escorted us to the elevator inside.

The elevator went up to the 58th floor, the top floor, at a time.

In the drawing room overlooking Victoria Harbor with her eyes, there was a white-haired white man.

As we went inside, he spoke in poor Korean.

“nice to meet you. Welcome to Golden Gate.”

His name is Chase Southwell.

He is none other than the branch manager of Golden Gate Asia.
