50 – The determination of a 16-year-old girl

Episode 50

“I’ll give it a try with a few conditions.”

“thank you!”

I shook his hand and had a brief discussion.

It was a story about safety measures such as compensation payment method, timing, and guarantee.

The more I listened to the story, the more I felt that he was sincere.

In such a warm atmosphere, when the appropriate exchange of opinions had concluded and we were about to go our separate ways, I spoke to Seok Hyeon-woo.

“There is one last thing I want to ask you.”

“Do you have any further questions about the payment method?”

“It’s not like that.”

What raised questions was the fundamental part of the situation itself.

“According to what Manager Seok said, I think Jin Yeo-reum’s refusal is confirmed.”

“you’re right.”

“Then why do you want me to offer you a scouting job?”

“… .”

Why would you want to be scouted if you’re not going to be scouted?

“In the end, because of the five-minute play where I brought up the topic of scouts, Manager Seok… No, it can be interpreted that Jinkang provides such a considerable amount of money and opportunity. Because other than that, nothing else will happen.”

What remains from a brief play?

Why is it the purpose of the transaction?

“No matter how much Jinkang is a leading conglomerate with capital power, it is not considered a group doing business at a loss. However, anyone can see that this is a transaction in which Jinkang loses money.”

As the top trader in Korea, Jin Kang, who has built a family of conglomerates, will be more reluctant to make a losing trade.

Because that location is the only way to reach it.

“What benefits does Jin Kang-i or Jin Ye-reum get from this deal?”

There will be benefits. i can’t count

Seok Hyun-woo was reluctant to answer.

It must have been a confidential question that was difficult to reveal.

I quickly gave up.

If it was a story that made you hesitate like that, knowing it itself could be poison.

“If it makes you uncomfortable, you don’t have to answer. “Even if I don’t say it, I plan to do the scouting I promised.”

The opportunity to use an ordinary person as an advertising model was an opportunity I did not want to pass up because of such curiosity.

Seok Hyeon-woo slowly shook his head and spoke to me.

“… no. Let me tell you. “I think that’s the way it should be.”

Seok Hyeon-woo looked straight at me.

Until now, I felt like the eyes looking at me were looking at office work.

However, Seok Hyeon-woo, who was about to start talking, was a little different.

There was a ray of emotion in those eyes that was difficult to identify.

“What do you think about Jin Yeo-reum’s doping controversy?”

Even though I talked to Jin Yeoreum about that issue, there was no change in my thoughts.

Perhaps he avoided the law by giving honorable mention to all officials.

Of course, I can’t say this out loud.

“I understand that this is a story about an acquittal. “I have no other thoughts.”

he asked, looking at winter.

“What about Mr. Winter?”

“… I can’t watch the news because I only watch games and animations. “Actually, I don’t know exactly what’s going on.”

I really liked how pure our Jjintta was.

“I would be very grateful if they treated you the same way as you two, but most public opinion believes that Jin Yeo-reum committed illegal doping and covered it up. But that’s not true.”

That’s what I’m saying because you’re an employee of Jin Kang.

“I’m not saying this because I hold the position of manager at Jinkang.”

… Are Jin Yeo-reo and the people of Jin-gang learning mind-reading?

“I can assure you that I have 8 years of experience assisting the Jin Gang family. “In the first place, Jin Kang, or rather the current president, Jin Baek-ho, did not like Jin Yeoreum doing rhythmic gymnastics.”

This was my first time hearing this story.

“For that matter, didn’t you actively promote Jin Yeo-reum’s rhythmic gymnastics to create Jin Kang’s image?”

At that time, I remember Jin Kang’s aggressive sponsorship and a CF shoot about Jin Kang’s brand image.

It was as if they had made her the company’s mascot.

“It was support based on the judgment of former Chairman Jin Woo-cheol, or Jin Yeo-reum’s grandfather, and the Public Relations Strategy Planning Department. “It was a company-level decision made based on the judgment that Jin Yeo-reum’s beauty and talent for ribbon gymnastics had sufficient commercial potential, rather than a personal decision.”

Actually, I wouldn’t have left my granddaughter alone if my granddaughter was an A+ athlete with good looks and potential who has been winning gold medals since she was a teenager.

“Contrary to Jin Woo-cheol’s judgment, Chairman Jin Baek-ho was reluctant to draw too much attention to Jin Yeoreum, who was 14 years old at the time. “He was concerned that the moment such attention was given to Jin Yeo-reum, her freedom would disappear.”

I also thought it was overprotective.

However, it was also judged to be a thought worthy of concern for a man who lived as the second generation of Jin Gang.

Looking back now, it seemed like the right idea.

Jin Yeo-reum is probably living like that right now because of that backlash.

“He said, ‘The world will now only see that child as a member of the national ribbon gymnastics team, or as Jin Kang’s third generation.’ He always wanted Jin Yeoreum to live as ‘Jin Yeoreum’. “It’s not like carrying a heavy burden.”

“Then why did you let me start rhythmic gymnastics?”

I understand he had good intentions, but if he had known, shouldn’t he have stopped it?

If you had stopped me and persuaded me from the beginning, that wouldn’t have happened, right?

“That’s because Jin Yeoreum liked rhythmic gymnastics.”

“… her.”

“Maybe even if it was an indie band or a painter instead of rhythmic gymnastics, Chairman Jin Baek-ho would have been reluctant to allow it.”

There was no great twist in this reason.

It was just that one idiot couldn’t stop his child from dreaming.

“After Jin Woo-cheol’s term as chairman ended and Jin Baek-ho took over as chairman, the sponsor, or Jin Kang’s, policy changed somewhat.”

“What kind of method do you mean by Yuhage?”

“We no longer ask for grades.”

“… and.”

Sponsors don’t require athletes to perform well?

“Did the company allow that?”

“This was Chairman Jin Baek-ho’s decision. … Of course there were objections. But the president pushed for it and succeeded.”

It is said that he made a family meal promise with the time he made the chairman like that.

At this point, she was a daughter-in-law who could be described as great.

“As a result, we adjusted Jin Yeo-reum’s schedule and reduced the number of competitions she participated in. This is a fact that remains in the records of the time. If you want, I can show you the relevant materials.”

“No, there is no need for that. I will just believe it.”

“thank you.”

As I listened to Seok Hyun-woo’s story, I expected the context of what he wanted to say.

I said to him, who lowered his head slightly.

“I understand what Manager Seok is saying. It must be the same as what the defense division argued in the courtroom.”

“you’re right. “Public opinion viewed it as an excuse to convict, but it was the truth without any exaggeration.”

The emotions in Seok Hyeon-woo’s eyes grew as if on fire.

“At the time, the doctor in charge who had been lobbied frequently recommended prescriptions for medicines, which caused Jin Yeoreum to feel resistance and consider replacing her. This was done because the personal doctor thought that his position was at risk. They said they tried to use that as an excuse to threaten me. Contrary to the doctor’s intentions, Jin Yeo-reum took an unexpected doping test, and what happened afterwards is as you know. It has already been spread in the media that Jin Yeo-reum was caught by the medical team while engaging in illegal doping. There was no time for Jin-gang to bury or block the doctor. … “It was all because of that stupid, greedy bastard.”

He said as if shouting.

“There is no way that Yeoreum, who has been doped under common sense, would undergo a medical test, right? You don’t even need those drugs! It is absolutely not what Jin Yeoreum-nim, who was only 14 years old at the time, did! Of course, it is also not intentional!”

The emotions that flared up were resentment, pity, and affection.

It seemed that Seok Hyun-woo did not treat Jin Yeo-reum simply through his duties.

He took a few deep breaths, as if to contain his emotions, and then apologized.

“… Excuse me. You showed your emotions in the wrong place.”

“No, there is no need to apologize. I liked Manager Seok’s appearance like that.”

This was purely my human taste.

I liked someone who wouldn’t stab me in the back like that.

I’m not a guy like Ban Sang-cheol who laughs and measures the angle of betrayal.

“According to the doctor’s later remarks in court, it was said that his intention was to increase dependence on himself even if the threat failed.”

“He’s a really shady person.”

“… hahahaha, that’s right.”

I don’t know why there are so many crazy people in the world.

“Contrary to what was spread by public opinion, I understood that Ms. Jin Yeo-reum was an unfair victim.”

There was nothing I couldn’t believe when he said that.

In fact, there is nothing left because Seok Hyeon-woo deceived me.

But the doubts did not disappear.

“But how does that lead to me making a scouting offer?”

Seok Hyeon-woo, who continued speaking in a cold tone, spoke in a voice full of regret.

“… “Jin Yeoreum needs encouragement.”

encourage?

“Could you explain in a little more detail?”

“In fact, this volunteer activity is being carried out despite Jin Baek-ho’s active opposition. “Doing volunteer work here instead of going to school is purely Jin Yeoreum’s opinion.”

No parent would welcome the idea of their daughter not going to school and only doing volunteer work.

If it were her opinion, I could understand this situation a little.

“Jin Yeoreum feels great guilt that she has brought trouble to the name Jin Kang and to her family. And he was always thinking about ways to make up for it.”

“Is that volunteer work?”

“you’re right.”

Although the intentions were good, I was skeptical about its effectiveness.

“You can interpret this as a casual statement made by an outsider. However, as an employee of an agency who manages the image, I would like to say one thing.”

I understood Jin Yeoreo’s situation and understood that she was a victim.

However, it did not change that public opinion viewed her as a doping criminal.

Because of that, my thought of not wanting to have anything to do with Jin Yeoreum did not change.

Still, it seemed a bit of a waste that she wasted her youth on something that was ineffective and had little hope.

Because of that, I spoke even though I was aware that I was being foolish.

“It’s going to be a very difficult task. Even if you have served faithfully for 2-3 years, people will interpret it as a political show or something.”

Even if they hear that you are repenting of your sins and doing volunteer work, people will treat you coldly.

They said to refrain from making hateful jokes.

This person said to only bring news of the death.

Saying that, he will casually pour poison into Jin Yeo-reo’s heart.

This was not a choice of extreme expressions.

It was a real community response when I ran to improve a singer’s image.

“It’s not just two or three years. That image is changing, but Jin Yeorum-nim is looking at it for at least 10 years.”

“I can still fall short. Public opinion is like that.”

In response to my assertion, Seok Hyeon-woo shook his head and said.

“It seems I have spoken in such a way as to cause a misunderstanding. This refers to the minimum period.”

He spoke plainly, as if he was only telling the truth without a housemaster.

“Jin Yeoreum has already made up her mind to live a life of service. 50 years, 100 years.”

“… .”

I remembered what Jin Yeoreum said to me right before I left.

‘I will always stay here. … I won’t lean on it though.’

It wasn’t empty talk.

The skin tingled and came up.

I was purely thrilled by the determination and will of this 16-year-old girl.
