She walked with a cautious step, unlike her usual confident deanor.
As she stood in front of the podium, a cheer erupted.
“Wow!”
Jeong Da-hye took the microphone that John Henry handed her and looked around at the people.
She saw the years they had spent here in each and every face.
After taking in everyone’s faces, she opened her mouth.
Her voice, slightly smiling, resonated through the microphone.
-To be honest, I was so frustrated at first. I couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t move when there was a good direction. I’m sure there are many of you who fought with here.
“Hahaha!”
As laughter broke out here and there, she continued.
-But now I know. I was too ignorant and reckless back then. Thank you for waiting for to find the right path, and for being with . Really… thank you.
Her voice trembled slightly, and her sincerity was evident.
She bowed.
As Jeong Da-hye bent her waist, the employees’ voices rang out loudly.
“Ellis! Ellis! Ellis!”
The shouts did not subside once they started.
Jeong Da-hye covered her mouth with her hand, as if she was overwheld.
Her eyes were already reddened.
What was she feeling right now?
Wasn’t it the feeling of being rewarded for her hard work for two years?
At this mont, no other words were needed.
Clap clap clap.
Yoo-hyun expressed his respect to her with applause.
The sound spread to the Bruson family, then to the executives of Exxon Mobil in the VIP seats, and then to the employees below.
Soon, the entire space was filled with applause.
Click. Click.
The reporters’ caras captured the scene.
It was the mont when the photo for the newspaper was decided.
The last order of the launch ceremony, which began with John Henry’s inauguration speech, was the tape cutting ceremony.
It was a trivial event, but they did what they had to do.
Yoo-hyun stood with scissors in front of the red tape, along with the presidents of the cooperating companies.
After following the formal procedure, the tape was cut.
Snip.
The cara captured the mont, and Genex Energy officially launched.
The event was over, but many people stayed in their seats.
Jeong Da-hye was at the center of them.
As she greeted them without a break, Yoo-hyun fiddled with a business card.
-Genex Energy Vice President Willie Thompson.
Willie Thompson agreed to stay at Genex Energy for a while at Yoo-hyun’s suggestion.
For a CEO who had only worked on the field, Willie Thompson’s insight and vision would be a great help.
Of course, this was also a aningful thing for Willie Thompson.
The traces he left here would have a positive impact on his career in the future.
‘It would be nice to keep doing shale oil.’
As he briefly thought of his future, Willie Thompson approached Yoo-hyun.
“Steve, the executive eting will be held along with the dinner party. Will you attend?”
“No. I don’t belong there. And I have an appointnt.”
“I thought you would say that. I’ll report to you right away if there are any additional issues.”
“You don’t have to do that. You can handle it yourself.”
Willie Thompson nodded at Yoo-hyun’s calm words.
“Okay. And the thing you requested is being prepared.”
“Are you talking about the transportation?”
“Yes. I’ll make sure you can see it in person through Robert soon.”
“Thank you for everything until the end.”
Yoo-hyun extended his hand with sincerity.
“I learned a lot from you.”
Squeeze.
They exchanged a look of trust over their clasped hands.
After Willie Thompson left, Jeong Da-hye was still surrounded by the employees.
Yoo-hyun took her in his eyes, then got in the car first.
It was a consideration for her, who was saying her last goodbye.
Clank.
She got in the car late and apologized to Yoo-hyun.
“I’m sorry. It’s too late because of .”
“I had a good ti too, thanks to you.”
“What do you an?”
“It’s not common to take care of a consulting company employee who is no different from a stranger. They seed to have a lot of affection for you, Da-hye.”
Even after the event was over, the employees tried to say one more word to Jeong Da-hye.
Their eyes were full of love.
How could she do that?
Yoo-hyun was amazed, but Jeong Da-hye was calm.
“It’s because they know I’m leaving, that’s all.”
“Still, it’s not easy.”
“I know. That’s why I feel weird. I used to want to finish it quickly…”
As Jeong Da-hye said, the project that had been in trouble once was well finished.
The direction was also adjusted with the launch ceremony.
She had achieved everything she wanted.
She should have been happy, but she looked troubled.
Yoo-hyun felt like he knew how she felt.
“Let’s finish it well. Without any regrets.”
“Yes. I have to. I want to do well on the last finish.”
“You prepared for that.”
Swoosh.
Yoo-hyun pointed to the large bear doll he had placed in the front seat.
Jeong Da-hye smiled faintly at the sight of the bear doll sitting like a person.
“I hope Alia likes it.”
Vroom.
The car ran towards Greer Bruson’s ranch.
There was already food set up on the outdoor table in front of Greer Bruson’s house.
It seed that Jessica Bruson, who had gone ahead, had prepared diligently.
Alia Bruson laughed heartily, without giving Jeong Da-hye a chance to apologize.
The little girl had a bear doll as big as her height in her arms.
“Wow! It’s really big.”
“When Alia grows bigger, I’ll buy you an even bigger bear doll.”
“Really?”
“Yes. That’s why you have to eat well.”
“Of course. Alia eats very well.”
Alia proved that it was not a lie by eating very deliciously.
Was it because of that?
The atmosphere of the al was very harmonious.
“Hahaha!”
“Hohoho!”
The table was filled with laughter.
After the al, coffee was served on the table.
They drank the delicious coffee and chatted with each other.
It was when the pleasant mood was continuing.
“Excuse for a mont.”
Jeong Da-hye, who asked for permission, carefully hugged Alia Brunson, who was nodding off.
Yoo-hyun tactfully grabbed the teddy bear that he was holding in his arms, and Jeong Da-hye laid the little girl on the outdoor bed.
Squeak.
Her eyes looked very affectionate as she looked at Alia Brunson.
It was because she didn’t have much ti left to be with her.
Jessica Brunson said to Jeong Da-hye, who returned to her seat.
“Alia’s dad will co next week.”
“Really?”
“Yes. That bastard must have missed his daughter. He ran away when he was having a hard ti, but now he says he’s coming back.”
She said it casually, but Jessica Brunson’s eyes looked wistful.
Yoo-hyun thought he knew why.
It was because of the sincere words that Greer Brunson left in his drunkenness.
-Alia is a precious gift that my daughter left before her eternal farewell. She is more valuable than anything else.
After his daughter’s death, Greer Brunson raised his granddaughter Alia Brunson.
Yoo-hyun thought they would resent their son-in-law who left their young daughter behind.
But it didn’t seem like that.
Jeong Da-hye also seed to know that fact, and sighed with relief.
“I’m glad.”
“I don’t know if Alia’s heart will be okay. She must have bad mories of her dad who abandoned her.”
“Don’t worry. She’ll be happy.”
“Do you think so?”
“Yes. Alia misses her father.”
Jeong Da-hye had a confident expression.
Did she really think so?
Yoo-hyun suddenly rembered what she said at Namsan Tower in the past.
-I thought I had completely forgotten my father, but I guess not. I tried to ignore him, but he kept bothering .
In the past, she couldn’t completely get rid of her resentnt towards her father.
Yoo-hyun also didn’t have many mories of eting his father-in-law during his married life.
It was partly because he didn’t take care of him, but also because she kept her distance.
‘I thought she hated her father…’
But now it seed that her true feelings were not like that.
Yoo-hyun was lost in thought for a mont.
Jessica Brunson asked him with a tender look.
“Are you okay, Ellis?”
“Of course. I’m fine.”
“I hope you lean on if you’re having a hard ti. You have a strong ally by your side.”
Yoo-hyun tapped his shoulder as he received Jessica Brunson’s gaze.
“Of course. I have broad shoulders.”
“Broad, my ass. I’m the one with broad shoulders.”
Greer Brunson grumbled, but no one listened.
Jeong Da-hye nodded her head as she glanced at Yoo-hyun.
“I’m going to do that from now on.”
“Good. You know we’re always on your side, right?”
“Of course. I really appreciate it.”
“Don’t just say it, let’s hug.”
Jeong Da-hye gladly agreed to Jessica Brunson’s suggestion.
She got up from her seat and hugged Jessica Brunson, who opened her arms.
“Thank you, Jessica.”
“I should thank you. I’m grateful that you stayed with us.”
“I’ll never forget it.”
“Of course. We’re family, aren’t we?”
Thump.
Jessica Brunson patted Jeong Da-hye’s back.
“Of course. We’re family.”
Jeong Da-hye answered with a bright smile.
Her expression looked much lighter.
Ti passed, and the day to leave ca.
Yoo-hyun was sitting on a bench in front of Jeong Da-hye’s accommodation and answering the phone.
He heard Park Young-hoon’s excited voice from the other side of the receiver.
-Yoo-hyun, we finally signed a contract with Mirinae Securities.
“The securities company that was going bankrupt?”
-Yeah. They’re a bit small, but they have a solid foundation. The president’s mind is pretty good too. Anyway, thanks to that, our mobile securities platform has entered the market.
It ant that they would provide Double Y’s securities trading app to other securities companies.
This was a result that contradicted Park Young-hoon’s ambition to establish a new securities company.
At this point, Yoo-hyun couldn’t help but ask.
“Hyung, aren’t you sorry?”
-Sorry? What’s there to be sorry about? Thanks to that, we acquired so shares at a bargain price, and we also get so of the revenue generated by the app. It’s a total bargain.
“What are you talking about?”
-You know. They almost went bankrupt because of a program order mistake. That’s why they couldn’t even try the mobile app.
“But?”
-This ti, we agreed to guarantee the order error in our program. That’s how we got the upper hand. And we invested more money…
It sounded much better than the conditions he had thought of at first.
First of all, it was a brilliant move to take a portion of the revenue, not the net profit, as Double Y’s share.
It was because a considerable profit could be generated if only the staff were gathered.
Of course, this was not an easy task, but Double Y had ssenger With.
It was possible to attract a large number of custors through this.
Secondly, it was not bad to secure a large amount of shares in Mirinae Securities by investing additional capital.
If they had enough shares, they could take control even if there was a problem.
It was clear that Park Young-hoon had a lot of investnt experience.
Of course, there were risk factors, but Yoo-hyun was not very worried.
