Dok-go-jeong’s arrest investigation began, and it was reported that Seo Eun-chae was looking for the Uijeongbu Green Belt.

All you need is time. The downfall of the two was no different from a fait accompli.

‘I can ignore this for a while.’

Now it was time to do what I had been putting off.

The first thing to do was to establish a corporation in the United States. Now that I’ve cleared my name, it was my turn to proudly start a business under my own name.

I made a request to Elisa and completed the corporate registration.

‘It would have been better to register as a sole proprietor, but…’

Without permanent residency, it was impossible to register as a sole proprietor, and it took time to obtain permanent residency even after immigrating as an investment.

So, I registered as an LLC.

Unlike the C-cooperation form, it was possible to avoid double taxation of corporate tax and personal tax.

‘It’s hard to manage an LLC alone.’

So Elisha recommended a trustworthy person. I had to go to the local area and see the face to know the reliability of the other person, so I was thinking of going to meet them this time.

I decided to contact you when the situation on this side was sorted out, so I sent a message to Elisa.

[(Ms. Elisa. How have you been? I’m going to see you soon, when is a good time?)]

[(Are you really coming to see his face? (Laughs))]

It was the first time I had received an emoticon from Elisa, so I was a little taken aback.

[(We also talk about business.)]

[(If you’re only coming to see the face, I have time for lunch this Saturday. But since you said you’re talking about business, I’ll have to adjust my schedule.)]

[(See you on Saturday.)]

Even though we were just exchanging messages, we smiled.

‘It would be nice if Ha-yeon likes Elisa too.’

However, before being a man, he was still the father of a young daughter.

‘Elisa would be able to meet good people even if it wasn’t for me, but Ha-yeon wouldn’t be able to do without me.’

But if the two liked each other, the problem would be solved.

‘Shall I take Ha-yeon on this business trip?’

I thought it would be better if the two of us became friends.

Talking about business was important, but isn’t it possible for a person to live only by working? Even while the tedious fight with the Dokgo family continued, he needed a break from time to time.

[(I don’t have anything to do, so let’s see? (Laughs))]

[(Yes. Hayeon would like to see it too. (Laughs))]

[(What is it? Are you calling me to babysit?)]

My fingers froze in embarrassment.

[(Just kidding. I also want to get close to Hayeon quickly. Her pronunciation has improved a lot since last time.)]

[(Is it worth studying Korean?)]

[(Well, I think Jaegu is better at teaching than teachers.)]

[(Do you want to call?)]

I don’t know why I suddenly had the courage. A second feels like 10 minutes, and I get a call trying to figure out how to delete a message I sent.

Wiing-. Wiing-.

My phone, not the cannon phone, started ringing.

[Caller: Elisa]

‘What should I say?’

As I started to become conscious of her, my heart pounded. At the last meeting, it seems that Ha-yeon and I didn’t have a bad relationship, so hope began to bloom.

‘It’s like when you first started dating.’

I received the phone call with excitement.

“hello.”

“Repost? I’m not honey.”

My face grew hot at the joke that a Korean instructor with bad gag sense would have told me.

“Hello? (I’m kidding.)”

“No. Nothing.”

I don’t know why it sounds so cute because my voice gets higher when I listen to it on the phone. Her sweet voice seemed to close my ears.

“Do I have a good pronunciation?”

“It has grown so much.”

“I’m trying to talk to Ha-yeon.”

It was a slow speech, but it was much better than the first time. It felt like a lot of effort was put into it.

“thanks.”

I really appreciate her hard work.

“What?”

“Just everything.”

“miss you.”

It was the most pronounced of all Elisha’s words. While I was careless, I answered without knowing.

“Me too.”

The chirping of dolphins came through the receiver in a small way. When I understood the situation, my face flushed red and I cleared my throat.

“(Elisa. Forget what I just said.)”

“(Why? Was it a lie?)”

“(No. That’s not it…)”

“(Is it because of your daughter? I’ll try.)”

How many people have tried for me without any conditions? I wondered if my parents and Hanul weren’t the best.

Her words resonated heartily.

“(thanks.)”

“(I hope Ha-yeon likes me too.)”

My heart was the same.

“(Then can I dress up and go out this Saturday?)”

“(I’ll treat you to a delicious meal.)”

“(Oops. Are you really going out barehanded?)”

“(Should I pick you up in front of the house?)”

“(Then it’s better.)”

Like the first relationship, excitement filled my heart.

‘I never thought I’d feel the excitement again at this age.’

After dating Seo Eun-chae, I never thought that this kind of day would come again. Being in a relationship with her wasn’t thrilling, it was different from seeing her notice and matching it.

I was brainwashed that she was doing it right, and I believed it was because I hadn’t had much dating experience.

It was late at night, so I fell asleep, blocked the receiver, and yawned for a long time.

“(Jaegu. Are you sleepy?)”

“(No. I can still hold on.)”

“(I have to work tomorrow, so I should go to bed early.)”

He was different from anyone who used to gossip about people around him who weren’t even curious about him and told him not to hang up on the phone before he did.

“(I want to talk to Elisa-san more.)”

“(Don’t overdo it and go to sleep.)”

It’s sad like this.

“(You have to be healthy to see it for a long time.)”

“(Okay. Elisa-san, have a nice day too.)”

“(Yes. I think it will be a good day since I talked to Mr. Jaegu on the phone.)”

Are American women always this active? Della Foster is also active as a friend.

And Brayden Harper and Ricardo Gibson were quite friendly too.

‘Are Americans just being friendly?’

But I hope it’s true that Elisa likes me.

“(thanks.)”

***

I was thinking of merging Dokgo Commerce with Daehan Market, taking advantage of the hectic break while Dok-go-jeong was under investigation. To that end, it was now Choi Ji-hoon’s turn.

“You hired an M&A expert to merge Dokgo Commerce with Daehan Market?”

“Yeah. Then the stock will go up.”

Dokgo Commerce’s stock price fell to 6,500 won after breaking through 8,000 units due to Dok-go-jeong’s arrest and revealed corruption.

‘The market capitalization is less than the asset value.’

This meant that the market judged that Dokgo Commerce would fall further in the future.

“Umm… I don’t know much about M&A experts.”

“It’s okay. I’ll find the person and connect you.”

“What am I going to do?”

“You just have to convince the shareholders according to the M&A expert’s words. Benjamin will help you with the details.”

Benjamin, who was drinking coffee next to him, gave a business smile.

“Please leave it to me.”

“By the way, did you have a conversation with Daehan Market?”

“of course.”

Of course, the story is over. When B&T Financial’s opinion was conveyed, Han Ho-jae welcomed him with open arms. Because he coveted the infrastructure of Dokgo Commerce itself.

[Even before the talk, I was thinking of expanding the warehouse as the number of items increased due to the successful partnership with Savannah Market. There were a lot of difficulties from site selection, but it would be very helpful if we could acquire Dokgo Commerce.]

He also gave permission, so we planned to properly proceed with the takeover of Dokgo Commerce. Box change, shelf life/place of origin fraud, and the corner of a private fixing had already destroyed the image, so there was no choice but to replace it with a new signboard.

‘If you come out of prison, there will be no place for you to return.’

I will pay the price for letting the two golden years of my life rot in prison, when I should have had a happy time with my child.

“Hyung. Your expression is strange, but is it really true?”

“uh.”

Unknowingly, the evil heart must have been expressed through facial expressions. Choi Ji-hoon is my person, so I keep getting caught off guard.

“Then, when is the M&A expert coming?”

“I’ll be back around the day after tomorrow. I won’t be in Korea at that time, so take care of me.”

It was time to go on a date with Elisa.

“I’ll do my best.”

Choi Jihoon nodded with eager eyes.

***

The M&A expert was introduced through Han Ho-jae. After graduating from a prestigious university, he was a person with thick bones in the startup market, so he was more short-haired than I thought.

It is Korea and the United States, and the personal connections are the best.

“Still, it was Managing Director Kim who helped me when I was in the most difficult time.”

The pleasant courtesy was a bonus.

I had to carry out the acquisition work with Daehan Market anyway, so I met the person Han Ho-jae introduced and confirmed it.

[Reliability 78%]

It was not a bad figure for a first-timer. The people I’ve met in the past had a high degree of trust at first.

‘Since I said that I’m close to Han Ho-jae, it should be fine.’

The success fee was contracted to be paid by B&T Financial. Money is overflowing, so I could use this much to pamper Seo Eun-chae and Dok-go-jeong.

No matter how much I spent, it wasn’t even a daily wage.

“If you fail instead, there is no success fee.”

The down payment is only 10 million won. Considering the scale of the work, failure was tantamount to free labor.

“Don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”

If it fails, you can bring it from abroad.

While meeting Elisa, let’s talk about it.

***

He allowed me to meet Choi Ji-hoon, CEO Han Ho-jae, and the M&A expert he introduced. Choi Ji-hoon was hesitant and couldn’t speak, but seeing Benjamin intervene without notice, he didn’t seem to have much to worry about.

‘Can I be full on the first drink?’

Still, it was a great development when I recall Choi Ji-hoon, who was taciturn in the past.

“It’s nice to go on a trip with my dad.”

Ha-yeon clung to her leg.

I asked my parents if they would go with me, but they sternly refused, saying they were tired from long-distance flights. He said he would take care of Ha-yeon as well, but it was impossible to burden his elderly parents.

‘I want to go on a trip with Ha-yeon.’

For this trip, we went to the department store together and picked out pretty clothes and bought them. I had a hard time choosing the clothes I picked out because they said they liked them all.

‘But it really suits them all.’

Did they say that their children look pretty in the eyes of all parents? In my eyes, Ha-yeon was the prettiest child in the world.

Jeffrey, Seo Kang-jae, and two bodyguards also went on the trip together.

Of course, all of them were cut to first class.

“(As expected, President Kim has a big stomach. Can I have some rice?)”

Seo Kang-jae smiled and asked.

“(Take turns eating.)”

“(Yes!)”

There was nothing special about the first class lounge, but there were various things to eat, so it was fun to look around.

‘I’ve gotten used to it after riding it a few times.’

“Dad!! I want to eat this!”

Hayeon was still having fun. Food was placed out of reach of small children, so I picked Ha-yeon up and picked up the food.

‘It’s not light anymore.’

Although he was slim compared to his peers, he weighed well over 20kg, so he was quite heavy. I wrapped my arms around my neck to help my father, but I couldn’t help feeling the weight.

Seo Kang-jae approached and asked.

“Boss. Can I listen to you?”

“It’s okay. Eat.”

“Yes.”

It would be disqualification for the father if he put his daughter in someone else’s hands. This was an ordeal I had to overcome somehow.

‘I did a good job exercising.’

Thanks to exercising for the music video shoot, I was able to save face.

“Dad. I have three sausages.”

“Three is too many.”

“three.”

Ha-yeon snorted and acted aegyo.

“then···.”

I almost passed it because it was cute, but I kept my spirits up.

“If you say you eat vegetables together, I’ll add them.”

Ha-yeon narrowed her brows slightly and sighed.

“Ummm… I don’t like vegetables…”

“Vegetables are good for the body. If you don’t like it, one sausage.”

“Okay. I’ll eat vegetables too.”

Ha-yeon hurriedly opened her mouth.

“Then three sausages.”

“Hurray!”

It made me feel better to see how happy they were with even a small piece of food.

I paid attention to nutrition and brought a plate with vegetables to eat. Ha-yeon diligently ate with children’s chopsticks.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Just looking at it made me hungry.

“Why isn’t Daddy eating?”

“Huh? Daddy should eat too.”

“Then I’ll pick out Dad’s food too!”

Is there any father who can refuse this?

“okay.”

Hayeon was excited and came into my arms. It felt heavier because I ate rice, but I endured it with evil and put the food the child chose on my plate.

“By the way, Ha Yeon-ah. Why are there so many bell peppers on Dad’s plate?”

“Vegetables are good for you.”

yes. Vegetables are good for you…

***

After arriving at the hotel in the evening and sleeping overnight, it was Saturday morning. When I got up, I met eyes looking at me.

Surprised, Hayeon was wrapped around her, making her very nervous.

“(Are you awake?)”

It was a bodyguard who was in charge of vigilance.

‘It’s a surprise.’

In the U.S., security guards were made in two shifts in pairs of two. The day shift was Seo Kang-jae and Jeffrey, and the night shift was the other two.

“(Good morning.)”

“(Yes. Good morning.)”

I covered Ha-yeon with a blanket so she wouldn’t wake up and walked out into the living room. The living room of the suite room had antique furniture, so it was good for eye candy.

I ordered a morning set to eat for breakfast and checked my phone.

[(Jaegoo. Good morning. Didn’t you forget your lunch date today?)]

It was a message from Elisa. As soon as I saw the text, the corner of my mouth went up involuntarily.

[(Of course. I’ve reserved a delicious place, so look forward to it.)]
