chapter 199
[Gaiden Episode 3] Next Generation
On a day when it was raining like crazy, a pile of scrap metal went up with a single pitcher to pick up a new wine.
Siwoo Lee fell from there and was struck by lightning.
It happened so quickly that I couldn’t even feel that I was alive or dead.
After that, he gained the ability to create something out of nothing.
However, that ability was gone.
That’s very unfortunate.
The ability that made him the representative of Nuri.
The ability to generate scrap metal, which signaled the beginning of Nuri, suddenly disappeared, but it was not a big deal.
Even without the ability, Nuri’s current income was unimaginably high.
However, Siwoo was curious.
Why did this ability arise, and why did it disappear again?
“long time no see? I heard from Kwangwoon that he is returning to farming in Gangwon-do.”
“It’s just sad. If only I had a healthy body, I would have traveled all over the country with the president… … .”
Moon Jae-shin, who came to see Lee Si-woo after a long time, revealed his wrinkles and smiled kindly.
Time spent as the vice president of Nuri Recycling by Siwoo Lee’s side for many years.
It was so good.
I wanted to stay in Nuri longer, but I got older.
Also, I thought that the more I maintain the position of vice president, the less opportunities I will be given to my juniors.
He resigned from the title, but he was not concerned.
Moon Kwang-woon grew up step by step, and now he has become a son who can inherit the title of vice president.
“You have to be healthy. You have to live a long time until Kwangwoon’s children get married.”
“I wonder if that will happen. haha.”
“I’m not seriously ill yet, so as long as I stay healthy, I can.”
Lee Si-woo, who was having a leisurely conversation with Moon Jae-shin, checked the time.
Due to Moon Jae-shin’s sudden visit today, most of the schedules were canceled.
However, there was only one schedule that could not be postponed.
“I heard that there is a schedule that cannot be canceled today. I will be meeting all the staff, so please come.”
“sorry. It’s a place not to be missed… … .”
“it’s okay. The position of the head of the family as a father is more important than the title of president.”
Siwoo Lee got up from his seat and bowed his head.
Today is an important day.
Now, I had to go to school because of the high school sophomore Lee Seo-yeon’s admission problem.
Of course, Seo-yeon Lee was not happy that Si-woo Lee came to school until the end.
“Seoyeon will be a burden. Whoops.”
“Well, it was something I had to go through someday. You can’t postpone your visit to school forever. I heard that there are rumors going around that Seoyeon may be an orphan at school.”
“I can’t do that. Whose child is Seo-yeon?”
Seo-yeon Lee was a wise child.
There were no accidents and he had a peaceful school life.
He never showed his youthful appearance.
Therefore, the Lee Si-woo couple had no choice but to worry.
Fortunately, however, Seo-yeon Lee didn’t want it to be revealed that Si-woo Lee was her father.
Just like a child of that age, he is insisting that he never come.
“I thought I would pass without puberty, but at the same time, I was relieved.”
Always a grown-up kid.
A daughter who is already worried about her position, not because she grew up to be loved.
Still, I thought I was lucky.
Watching her daughter spend her quiet days in school without any accidents, there was no sense of insecurity.
“You go. I’m going to see Seoyeon and Seonho today.”
Siwoo Lee, who got up urgently from his seat, left the president’s room.
* * *
A classroom with about 30 girls.
Seo-yeon Lee, who was sitting in the front row, bit her nails and looked around anxiously.
Two years have passed since I hid the existence of my parents.
Seo-yeon Lee, who will be in high school soon.
But the problem is that the homeroom teacher unconditionally urged me to bring my parents today.
A day for advising students to go on to college.
Seo-yeon Lee painstakingly conveyed this fact to Ae-ra Shin.
‘Because he’s going. you know too It’s something you can’t hide forever, right?’
The news that Si-woo Lee, who had barely hid himself, is coming to school.
The expression on Lee Seo-yeon’s expression that I heard from last night became increasingly hard.
The college admissions conference is about to start soon.
“yes? Seo Yeon-ah! Look at the playground.”
About three luxury brand vehicles entered the playground at once.
As I parked my car on the playground, bodyguards in suits got out of the black vehicle.
“Were there any chaebols among the people at school?”
Lee Seo-yeon’s best friend, Lee Se-ryung, took a deep breath.
The security guards dismounted from the three cars, followed by another vehicle.
Si-woo Lee, who appeared in neat clothes, was seen from a distance.
‘ruined. ha… … .’
I can’t come quietly.
Even if Si-woo Lee wants to quietly come alone, Mu-yeol Lee and Seo-hwan Kim will absolutely say no.
In fact, I didn’t even expect it.
Isn’t it the case that the head of a company the size of Si-Woo Lee is moving?
Seo-yeon closed her eyes tightly.
* * *
“It’s my first time here.”
“Seoyeon’s intentions are so firm… … .”
“You’ve worked hard all this time, CEO Kim.”
“no. I just did my job.”
I arrived at Lee Seo-yeon’s school with Lee Mu-yeol and Kim Seo-hwan.
As Si-woo Lee walked proudly, the bodyguards who were waiting moved.
Lee Seo-yeon’s class, a light step towards the second class of the sophomore year.
After that, Lee Mu-yeol and Kim Seo-hwan, who were walking while guarding the surroundings, followed.
Drooling—
The door to the classroom with sliding doors opened.
The parents of the other students, packed behind them, looked at the bodyguards with surprise.
“Please wait outside the classroom.”
As Siwoo Lee entered the classroom, a parent who recognized him tilted his head.
“Chairman Lee Si-woo?”
“Hey maybe?”
Si-woo Lee, who slipped through the quiet whispering people, raised his hand toward Seo-yeon Lee.
‘… The rest of my year might be a continuation of suffering.’
I wanted to leave, but I couldn’t.
Still, she did not want to be perceived as a daughter who turned away from her father.
Because of that, Seo-yeon Lee waved her hand.
A friend who recognized Lee Si-woo asked with a puzzled expression.
“… Seo Yeon-ah, are you your father?”
“Yes, my father.”
It was not a fact to be hidden, but the fact that he had to be a proud father.
However, the only problem is that this is an ordinary high school, not a private high school.
The water has already spilled.
I know better than anyone that it’s a situation that can’t be removed or beaten.
“Aren’t you, Siwoo Lee, chairman of Nuri Recycling?”
“what? Wasn’t Seoyeon an orphan?”
He was number one in the whole school, and he was a good-looking friend.
If there is one comfort, though, there are rumors that Lee Seo-yeon is an orphan.
Everyone was still too young to figure out the truth.
Children who believe in rumors.
But now everything is revealed.
“The college admissions conference… let’s begin.”
Watching the bodyguards standing outside the classroom, the homeroom teacher passively entered the classroom and said to the students and parents.
“Are Seoyeon Lee’s parents here?”
Seo-yeon Lee, who is the most important person in today’s college admissions conference, always ranked first in the whole school.
Even if the family situation was not good, I wanted to send Seo-yeon Lee to Seoul National University unconditionally.
So I made a new order.
If your parents aren’t there, ask your relatives to come unconditionally.
“came.”
Siwoo Lee, raising his hand, spoke calmly at the teacher’s words.
The teacher, who was shocked by his eyes, stammered until the end.
“Am I, Siwoo Lee, Chairman of Nuri Recycling?”
“Today, I am here as the father of Seo-yeon Lee, sir.”
I can’t recognize that face.
Because it is a great historical figure in Korea, which has become a waste power country.
A person called a living legend.
There were few people who did not recognize the total number of Nuri recycling.
“ah… … .”
“Do you have anything to say about Seoyeon going to college?”
“Where is Seoyeon going to school? … ?”
“I’m going to send Seoyeon to the place she wants. I don’t think it’s necessary to go to university in Korea.”
The head is nodded.
When it was revealed that she was Siwoo Lee’s daughter, the students’ eyes were filled with envy and envy.
Instead of going to a domestic university, if Lee Seo-yeon’s grades are right now, she can go on to the United States or other countries.
“Let’s talk about this separately, Father.”
“That’s right.”
After finishing the briefing session with a trembling heart, I set up a separate seat with Si-Woo Lee.
“I never thought that Seo-yeon’s father would be Chairman Lee Si-woo. Then, mother… … ?”
“Seoyeon’s mother couldn’t come because of her schedule.”
“Well, you’re a busy person.”
If Nuri made a great contribution to the waste industry, so is Gangdong.
Because he is the chairman of a company that combines incineration ash with steel and has been at the forefront of the development of 4th generation steel.
“Then, what about Seoyeon’s college entrance exam?”
“Seoyeon wants to go to Germany to study abroad, so I’m looking into it. I think I will go on to a university established by Green Energy.”
“Ah, if it were my father’s ability, I would be able to send Seoyeon to Germany right away to study. Then, I won’t worry about going to college.”
“yes. And I apologize for coming to school so late.”
A place you should have come to.
However, the teacher also took into account Lee Seo-yeon’s heart.
Usually, the sons of chaebols like Lee Seo-yeon go to private high schools.
But there must be a reason why he went on to a general high school.
This can be seen from the character of Seo-yeon Lee.
Because he is a student who is friendly with his friends and does not cause problems.
“no. As Seoyeon’s homeroom teacher, thank you for coming even like this.”
Si-woo Lee went out of the office after the college counseling meeting and adjusted his clothes.
Daughter standing in front of the office and waiting.
Lee Seo-yeon smiled brightly at the appearance.
“If this happens, just endure it for a year.”
“So what?”
“If you want, can you make sure I never touch you at this school?”
“Do you think that would be very disappointing?”
You can make Seo-yeon Lee receive the love of her teachers even if she is forced to.
It’s enough to just donate money to the school.
But I didn’t really want to do that.
Seo-yeon Lee believed that she could do it on her own.
However, from now on, the important thing is… … .
‘I’ll have to increase Seoyeon’s bodyguard.’
Lee Si-woo’s eyes lit up.
Since it was revealed for the first time in 18 years that she was his daughter, there were obviously many people who would annoy him.
In fact, adults are more tenacious and scary than children.
“I’ll go home later.”
“Yeah, be careful. And thank you for coming today, Dad.”
“It sounds weird. You should definitely come to the daughter’s college admissions conference. listen to class Don’t sleep.”
When Lee Si-woo left school, rumors about Lee Seo-yeon spread throughout the school.
In fact, being the daughter of Si-Woo Lee was enough to win the envy of the students.
Si-woo Lee, who came out of school, looked at Mu-yeol Lee, who was holding the steering wheel.
“Is Mira going to be a freshman in high school soon?”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Lee Si-woo closed his eyes at Lee Mu-yeol’s answer.
“I’m sorry, but I think it will be up to me to decide whether Mira goes to college.”
Perhaps Lee Si-woo’s doctor sent Lee Mi-ra to this school to support Lee Seo-yeon.
Lee Mi-ra was now step by step on the bodyguard elite course.
Instead of her mother’s business, Lee Mi-ra’s dream was to become a great bodyguard like her father.
“Mira likes Seoyeon so much, so if you tell her to go to this school, she will like it, Chairman.”
“I will tell Chairman Injein.”
“no. I am Mira’s father. Don’t worry, I can get involved in my daughter’s school affairs.”
it’s coming soon
There were only a few months left until Lee Seo-yeon was in her third year.
“Then, please.”
This school was a girls’ high school, not a coeducational school.
In the end, Imira had to be the right person for this job.
Fortunately, the relationship between Lee Mi-ra and Lee Seo-yeon was good.
I hurriedly entered the headquarters where Moon Jae-shin was waiting.
“Have you been well, Chairman?”
Moon Kwang-woon, a man talking with Moon Jae-shin, bowed his head with a relaxed expression.
But under the eyes, dark dark circles settled.
“He didn’t even show his face well. You were alive, Kwangwoon-ah.”
“Brother, I am now a full-fledged vice president of Nuri. some respect… … .”
“It still seems immature. Whoops.”
Siwoo Lee approached the two of them with a tired expression and sat down on the sofa.
As vice-chairman, Moon Kwang-woon could not be as playful as before.
Because the vice president of Nuri Recycling should not be idle.
A place that might be more comfortable elsewhere.
However, the vice president of Nouri was very busy.
“Brother, Sera said that she would go to Ganghwa Girls’ High School. Isn’t Seoyeon there?”
“Sera?”
“yes. I strongly appealed to Seoyeon that I wanted to go to school together even for a year.”
It may be an unexpectedly good opportunity.
Lee Mi-ra and Moon Se-ra are also close friends since childhood.
“Okay then, let’s go to Ganghwa Girls’ High School.”
“I know.”
“And when Haje hyung comes to Korea, he says he won’t leave you alone.”
“Yes? Why is Haje hyung here… … .”
“You said you didn’t tell me you were vice-president? You are coming from Germany this week. You did well.”
“ah… … .”
* * *
A year has passed.
A freshman came in from Ganghwa Girls’ High School where Lee Seo-yeon was attending.
Seo-yeon Lee, who is now in her third year, sighed deeply, surrounded by friends.
Two girls with yellow badges strode into the classroom.
The yellow nameplate indicated that he was a freshman.
“What are you? Why are new students in the 3rd grade classroom… … .”
At the cry of a female student, the children who surrounded Lee Seo-yeon turned their heads.
“Look at me for a second, seniors.”
“This is why Korean sentiment is so strange. If you’re rich, you can’t use your family. either an adult or a child. Isn’t that enough, Mira?”
“sympathy.”
Lee Mi-ra and Moon Se-ra, who became Lee Seo-yeon’s juniors, kicked their tongues and passed through the seniors surrounding Lee Seo-yeon.
“Sister~!”
“We are here. My sister’s strong support group has arrived. Hehe.”
Lee Seo-yeon smiled brightly at the appearance of Lee Mi-ra and Moon Sera.
“I’m here?”
“Why are you dealing with me? You just have to ignore it.”
“It’s a problem because my sister is so kind.”
The students kept their mouths shut when they saw the two freshmen suddenly popping out.
“What are you, pretending to be close to Seoyeon… … .”
“It’s not us who pretend to be close, but seniors. isn’t it? Just looking at it, my sister, you have a troubled expression. Well done we went to school here, Sera.”
Lee Mi-ra stared directly at the senior and grabbed Lee Seo-yeon’s arm.
“Go away. It’s like a prison here.”
“Right. I’ve already got permission from the principal. Sister, please take a look at our studies.”
A student with a closed mouth stood in front of the two of them as they were about to take Lee Seo-yeon out.
“What are you guys, take Seoyeon out?”
“Me? This is Lee Mi-ra, the daughter of the former president of Jehu Electronics.”
“I am Sae-Ra Moon, the daughter of Vice President Nouri Recycling. If you have any complaints, you can go directly to the principal and tell them.”
The two freshmen who had just arrived did not dare to hide their identities.
He did not forget that the biggest reason for entering Ganghwa Girls’ High School was for Lee Seo-yeon’s comfortable school life.
“what?”
They once again delivered their background to the eyes and voices of the seniors who were full of embarrassment.
“Emperor’s Electronic Chairman’s Sik.”
“Nuri Recycling Vice President Yeosik!”
Just like when Lee Si-woo is in trouble, Lee Mu-yeol and Moon Kwang-woon come forward.
When Lee Seo-yeon was in trouble, Lee Mi-ra and Moon Se-ra, who came to her, smiled brightly.
