Chapter 165

I lay in the hospital bed and skimmed through the news on my tablet.

For a while, it was noisy with earthquakes.

Because California is located in the Pacific Rim orogeny, earthquakes are common. Most of the earthquakes are marine earthquakes and they are not so large that the general public hardly notices them. However, this earthquake was quite large.

The San Francisco airport temporarily stopped, and the shaking was detected in LA. The media also expressed concern that the largest earthquake in years had occurred.

But the earthquake issue subsided before a day passed. Since then, articles related to me have been lined up.

There was even an article analyzing the impact on the automobile industry and the porn industry if I did not wake up.

“… … .”



Cars aside, why porn?

As if to relax, Ellie and her mother nodded next to him. In the meantime, I probably couldn’t sleep properly because of worry.

I went to the hotel and told him to sleep, but they both said they would stay by my side.

“I need to get some rest. There are so many people, I can’t concentrate, so I can’t rest.”

After several persuasion, my mother and Ellie returned to the hotel with Hyunjoo’s sister. Taek-gyu ate the leftover pizza next to him.

I’m inclined to eat the whole plate by myself.

I wanted to eat together, too, but the nurse handed me a thick soup saying that if I eat pizza right away, I can get rid of it because my stomach is weak.

Although I was hungry, I ate, but the taste was not bad.

Is hospital food tasteless universal?

I kept searching for news about earthquakes.

Come to think of it, since I went to San Francisco, I felt a little strange. When I arrived and got off at the airport, I felt a strange sense of incongruity.

I thought it was because I wasn’t feeling well at the time, but maybe it had something to do with earthquake prediction?

And I fell… … .

“The doctor said he was completely asleep.”

“Then why haven’t you been awake for a week?”

Taehyung asked cautiously.



“Is this a side effect of foreknowledge?”

“Hmm.”

Until now, the only side effect was being dazed for a while. Unless you’re driving it shouldn’t be a problem.

“Have you ever been like this before?”

I thought carefully and nodded.

“There have been two times I have had tinnitus and headaches like I do now.”

“When was that?”

“When I first saw Yeji. And when I tried to see when the L6 exploded.”

“Then three times so far?”

At other times, foreknowledge came to mind naturally, but in those three cases, it felt as if my senses were being squeezed in.

“Like an overload?”

“It’s similar.”

Taek-gyu said he was worried.

“If you think about it, isn’t it a bit strange that such a tremendous ability is given without payment? Great power comes with a great price.”

“It is not.”

“I must have made enough money anyway, how about sealing my foresight from now on?”

“… … .”

What do you mean?

This ability was not acquired through constant effort, but suddenly emerged one day. It’s not something you want to see, and it’s not something you can’t see because you don’t want to see it.

If you get rid of everything and go to a remote island where you can’t hear the news and live by fishing, you’ll never know that, as long as you’re in the financial world, your foresight will come to mind.

“Are you okay now anyway?”

“It’s not good enough.”

I slept for a week, and all the fatigue I had accumulated over the years seemed to have melted away.

I can leave the hospital right now.

* * *

As soon as the sun came up, I announced my intention to be discharged.

“Because of hospital bills?”

“… … no.”

I wonder if I will be discharged from hospital with a sick body because it is a waste of hospital bills?

Although it is not true after receiving the medical expenses, the medical cost in the US was higher than I had imagined. Wouldn’t it be a complete disaster for most middle-class families if they fell ill?

Looking at this, I think you can see how good Korea’s health insurance system is.

As it is a work-related accident suffered while on a business trip, it is treated as a corporate expense. Although 80% of the corporate money is mine.

When I went to the hotel with Taek-gyu, my mother and Ellie were surprised as they were preparing to go to the hospital.

“You should be in the hospital, why are you already discharged?”

I nodded casually.

“The doctor wants you to go home.”

In fact, the doctor in charge told me to do a CT and MRI and watch the condition for a few more days. He pretended not to hear and was just discharged.

“But it’s not like lying down for a long time and then moving right away.”

“I see.”

According to her mother’s opinion, she decided to go back to Korea after one day.

Hyun-joo’s older sister worked safely in her hotel room, and Ellie, who had been by my side all the time, was feeling better now, so she went to the hotel’s fitness center to work out for a while.

Her mother, who was next to her, cutting her fruit, asked as if she had been waiting for Ellie to leave.

“Are you dating that girl?”

“Who did you hear from?”

“To Hyunjoo. I felt it from the first time I saw him, and he was so sassy. I was worried that I was working too much, but when did you catch such a good girl?”

I whispered.

“I’m a foreigner, are you okay?”

My mother nodded at my question.

“then. What’s the problem in today’s global age? I can speak Korean well, so I don’t feel like a foreigner. Hyunjoo complimented that girl a lot like that. A Golden Gate lawyer?”

“right.”

“You’re pretty, you’re smart, you have a good job. There is nothing to be blamed for.”

It seems that you have already finished scanning your daughter-in-law (?). be quick too

“When I saw you doing it next to me when I was hospitalized, I could believe it. Being pretty and having a lot of money is useless. A person’s heart is the most important thing. Because my mother is alive… … .”

“… … .”

When the hell is this nagging going to end?

I texted Ellie asking for help without my mother’s knowledge. After a while, Ellie came back, took a quick shower of her and told me and her mother.

“Let’s go together, Mother.”

“Huh? Where?”

“It’s your first time in America. Now that you are here, you should visit San Francisco and also visit the Golden Gate Bridge.”

“Golden Gate Bridge?”

I pushed my back.

“The Golden Gate Bridge. You said you wanted to see it once. I’ll be resting here, so come take a look with Ellie.”

“But you are discharged now… … .”

When I stabbed him in the side, Taek-gyu, who was eagerly eating the fruit, said:

“Don’t worry, mother. I will take good care of Jinhoo.”

My mother, who refused several times, eventually went on a tour of San Francisco with Ellie.

The news of my waking up was quickly reported in the media. OTK Company explained that he had woken up early, but the announcement was delayed because he was undergoing various examinations.

This is to prevent rumors about health problems from spreading.

The doctors and nurses in charge know the truth, but they cannot tell the outsider about the patient’s information.

M Pizza held an event to distribute pizza throughout the hospital to commemorate my discharge.

Thinking that they could not lose, Faceit distributed 6 months free use of porn sites to medical staff, and held an event at the hospital with porn stars… … I tore off what I was going to earn.

As the article went out, the cell phone rang nonstop.

First, I talked to Sangyeop senior on the phone. Sangyeop-senpai breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that I was fine.

[Are you really okay?]

“Yes. Thanks to you, I slept well for a few days.”

[I was really worried about what was going to happen. As soon as the article about you down came out, the stock went wild. Keep in mind that your health depends on me as well as the livelihoods of our employees.]

“I see.”

[When are you coming to Korea?]

“I will go tomorrow. See you at work.”

[Come carefully.]

Afterwards, I spoke with Daryl and Chairman Im Jin-yong.

Daryl was relieved, and Chairman Im Jin-yong offered congratulations. Afterwards, I had a brief phone call with Golden Gate CEO James C. Goldman and Asia head Chase Southwell.

There was also a call from the White House. As Ronald was busy, his aide congratulated him on his discharge.

There is a private plane that I rode on, so it is enough to get on it and go back.

Seoseong Group has a total of four dedicated planes. As there are corporations and factories all over the world, it is for executives to ride around and get things done quickly.

Among them, the most up-to-date high-end model is of course the chairman’s plane, and Chairman Im Jin-yong lent it to him.

There is no free lunch in the world.

I was indebted to you this time, so I’ll have to pay it back later.

I got on the private plane and greeted the captain.

“I am glad that you are healthy. The president told me to take good care of you. We will do our best to avoid any inconvenience on the way to Korea.”

“Please take care of us until we arrive.”

Her mother looked around her plane with a surprised expression.

She said, “I thought all planes were the same, but there are also planes that look like this. Thanks to my son, I can fly on such a nice plane.”

“You rode it when you came.”

“He. At the time, I was so crazy I didn’t know it was this good.”

The seats were comfortable like a private plane that the president of a large corporation rides, and the interior was decorated so that meetings and business processes were possible.

When I opened the refrigerator, there were a variety of drinks, including a variety of whiskey and wine.

Come to think of it, did Chairman Im Jin-yong like whiskey?

I brought out a beer. Then her mother asked.

“It’s someone else’s, so can I drink it as I want?”

“I will.”

Afraid to answer, Taek-gyu pulled out champagne next to him. Then, without even letting it dry, I took the lid off.

“Let’s have a drink together as a souvenir.”

“… … .”

Wouldn’t Chairman Im Jin-yong be shocked to learn that a bottle of Dom Perignon was missing?

Well, I’ll charge you later if you need it.

We all toasted together.

The private plane flew over the Pacific Ocean. They were all very tired, so they all fell asleep. The crew turned off the lights in the room.

I leaned back on my seat and fell in thought.

After going through this, I suddenly became curious about the identity of this ability.

It was all because of my foresight that made me, an ordinary college student, an investor who made the world buzz.

If one day this ability disappears… … .

Will I still be able to continue to lead the company?

The private plane landed at Gimpo Airport.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Mother greeted the captain and crew one by one.

“You worked hard to fly the plane. Please say thank you to the president as well.”

“Yes. It was an honor to have you.”

A car was waiting outside the arrival hall.

“If you get sick, go to the hospital right away and call your mother. I will be going home soon.”

“I see. Do not worry.”

Still not sure if she was reassured, her mother said as she took Ellie’s hand.

“Please take good care of our Jinhoo.”

Ellie spoke softly to her.

“Don’t worry, mother. If anything happens, I’ll contact you right away. No, no matter what, I will contact you often.”

My mother went straight to Dongtan, and we headed to work.

It is easy to get from the airport to Gangnam.

Hyunjoo’s sister and Ellie went into the Golden Gate Building, and Taekkyu and I went into the OTK Building.

Sangyeop senior welcomed us warmly.

“Are you all right now?”

“of course.”

Senior Ki-hong, who was next to him, bowed his head and said.

“I was worried, sir.”

As the head of the PR team, it must have been a lot of trouble to write articles and explain things.

“I struggled while I was away.”

“no! I am thrilled to see him in such good health.”

From what I can see, this senior is also a full-time employee.

I walked around the floors and greeted the staff. The staff were relieved to see my face in person.

Since OTK Company is an investment company, there is nothing to do unless it is a new investment.

As I was browsing through the report that summarized my work, I got a call from the company. The sender was Professor Homin Kim.

[Is your body okay now?]

“Yes. The article was a bit exaggerated.”

[I’m glad. I was really surprised when I saw the article.]

“Sorry for worrying you.”

[Sorry what. Ah, but can I keep talking like this comfortably?]

“of course. The professor is the head of the research institute, and I am just an investor who invested in the institute.”

Therefore, it can be said to be a horizontal relationship.

Professor Homin Kim said with a smile.

[If you’re not busy, can you come to the lab now?]

“What’s going on?”

[I have something to show you.]
