Chapter 63. 2- Unexpected call # 2

Call from Chairman Joe. It was not a story that could be easily passed. It's also going to be canceled in March, canceling the schedule of events.

There was no way to do it. Han Woo-jin swept his head several times in a sudden new incident.

"I don't know why you call me?"

"Yes, there is no explanation. I think you'll tell me after we arrive. "

It was difficult. If he returns to Korea at the time of President Cho's call, Hanwoojin's future schedule will be disrupted.

At first glance, the season schedule may seem to be inextricably intertwined, but the season schedule created by a competent agent focuses on the athlete's condition and efficient point collection.

have. Even empty days without a separate place are arranged in advance for the rest of the players.

Han Woo-jin, who was worried for a while, rolled the abacus in his head. In a very calm manner, he placed merit and risk on the left and right sides of the scale as the president directed.

'President's instructions, but it's not forcible. Even if I don't go back like this, it won't interfere with my future schedule or activities. '

Even if President Cho was the head and heart of NK carrier, or NK Corporation.

There was no single clause in the contract that had been signed by two people in the past to restrict Hanwoojin's activities in the same situation. Rather, the amount deposited as a bonus to the clause

Hanwoojin's bank account balance was placed on the first viewing unit.

At the very least, he is worried about the influence of President Choe. It can't reach Europe or the Americas, which is the main stage of tennis. A ho

Rejecting a run wasn't enough to make the same thing happen.

Han Woo-jin threw his words toward Shin Se-yeon, who was thinking about something with a similar attitude. Rather than asking you to know it, it's like asking for consent.

It was.

"If you go back now… Do you have any problems? "

"There was a competition at the end of March, so two would be missing. You may have to work a little to cover it elsewhere. "

Shin Se-yeon had a light smile. She did not know the situation now. Han Woo-jin, who won the Sydney International and the Brazilian Open in a row, was like a momentum. At this time, if the flow was cut off, the reactions that had been driven back would come back.

So if possible, I was going to get as much points as possible during Hanwoojin's victory, and suddenly President Lee's call stirs the scenario she had set up from the roots.

to be. In addition, the boss at the top of his head was not able to dispute anything.

Therefore, it was difficult for Shin Se-yeon to discuss the policy on this matter directly. Strictly speaking, she was only an outsider hired by NK Corporation,

I was not in a position to argue against the decision. It was the limit to support Hanwoojin's choice or add a little affirmation.

After all, it was the role of Han Woo-jin to choose an option.

'If you don't go back… I can go through the season smoothly in this state. If you raise the ranking at the same speed now, you can aim for the world ranking 20 before Roland Garros. Sid Ha at Wimbledon

I will be my charge. '

Hanwoojin's calculation was accurate without any error. He was already ranked 68th in the world by overcoming Sydney International. Minimum after the settlement to the ranking point of the Brazilian Open

The late 50th, or even the top 50 could be aimed at. It was still mid-February. 4 months is enough time for tennis players who can participate in 3 tournaments a month.

It was.

Perhaps this option is the royal road. Han Woo-jin could be sure. If you choose this option, you will be able to seed the Wimbledon Championships you are aiming for along a smooth path. In my dreams

The green grass court, which hadn't faded at the same time, seemed to be flickering in front of my eyes.

But why am I hesitating?

I hardly fell off my mouth. Of course, there was a possibility that Hanwoojin wouldn't flow as he thought. Just like the world is not a dice game playing in someone's palm,

I only pick the option that I think is best. Without knowing that there's no way to realize if it really is the best or not.

In addition, President Cho had his own grace. He would have chosen Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyuk as a plaque to fulfill his dream, without giving him any thoughts.

'But grace is grace.'

But apart from his intentions, he never gave anything. There is no tennis player anywhere in Korea, and under no circumstances has he signed as good as Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyuk.

It was.

At the time of signing, both were talented but never played professional games. No matter how accurate the former director's eyes can be,

It is also to follow. There was no sponsor who took unproven rookies and promised full support.

Yes, until President Joe appeared.

"… Let's go back. "

Han Woo-jin chose to return home. Originally, those who do not know grace are not even beasts. He knew that his position was not made by himself. The fundamentals of the system

I did not discuss or regression. It was thanks to those who helped him unknowingly.

Former director who believed in him, Chairman Cho who promised to support him with unconventional views, Shin Se-yeon who suffered all the troubles that followed him and taught him without any hesitation

Until Dun Radal… In addition, counting was endless.

The decision was not based on the grand idea of ​​repaying grace. I just grabbed a hand from someone I knew helped.

"Then I'll book a flight ticket right away. I can ride tomorrow morning. "

"Is it still about 40 hours?"

As soon as he heard the plane, Hanwoojin wondered if the last trauma had come up. The flight of nearly two days is the endurance of Hanwoojin who only bites his teeth even if the ligaments are broken.

I was about to eat. The distance between Brazil and Korea was so great that it was necessary to stop.

"Well… I don't think so. "

Fortunately, Shin Se-yeon shook his head. She had booked a plane ticket on her laptop, and she read the estimated flight time of their flight tomorrow morning.

At the same time, Han Woo-jin's complexion, which had brightened for a while, turned to earthy color.

"34 hours 20 minutes. It's been about six hours. "

Oh My God. Han Woo-jin on his forehead.

* * *

"So what is this state?"

A sloppy voice shook the head of Han Woo-jin, still empty. The former director who was walking nearby was raising his voice. He was exhausted after a flight of tens of hours

I saw Woojin and I said hello in a mixed voice. After hearing the reason from Shin Se-yeon, he turned to a silly face.

"Ujin is a character who can't stand being still… "

There is no room for reply, but instead of Hanwoojin who is walking around, Shin Se-yeon was told with a nervous face. She didn't even know that she was on the plane for a long time

lira.

On the contrary, the director shook his head several times with a face that seemed convinced by the brief explanation.

"Woojin is a temper who can't stand him still. I told you to take a rest and you didn't pick up weights in the training room for a few days.

just."

His mouth was grunting with a harsh sound, but his eyes were warm as if he had seen a well-developed child. I am impressed by Hanwoojin's sincere attitude.

I'm a former director. I thought the bloody effort was rewarded, and even the ugly appearance was remarkable.

Hanwoojin, who had lost his energy as an invoice, was regained his energy. There was quite a lot of work in just two months, so the talk was overwhelming.

The three men who shared their opinions reached the top floor of a NK Corporation headquarter. Hanwoojin has also been here once. The top of NK C & T was the room where the general chairman stayed.

"Welcome to. The president is waiting. "

This time, unlike before, bodyguards did not restrain them. Rather, he bent in a polite manner as if he had been told in advance. Since I arrived at the desk on the first floor

It seemed to be preparing to greet the party. Perhaps he was hit by the bodyguard once.

The door was half open as if there was no need to knock. The party hesitantly opened the rest of the door. Then a gentle herb came out of the room and hovered around them. Chairman Cho had a potted plant.

"Oh, come here! The complexion is not good for the triumphal general, is there anything bad? "

As soon as they stepped in, Joe brightened his complexion and asked his regards. The pace that approached Hanwoojin was not fast enough for my age. Somehow, now is more than when I first met

I even felt like it was full of regulars. No, not because of mood, but really.

"See you in a long time, President. I've just been sick for a long time. "

"Oh, don't do that. Everybody sit there instead of standing there. It's not my face if I put up a guest like that. "

The three men sat in a hurry swept away by force. Mr. Cho's corrected appearance was incredible even as a male five-teenth. How many bottles you put in any rejuvenating medicine

It was.

When Hanwoojin and his party sat down and gathered their eyes, he struggled for a while. President Cho's lip was roughly thirty seconds later.

"Well, where should we talk… "

The chairman's eyes, which were moved in the order of Shin Se-yeon, Jeon Sang-sik, and Han Woo-jin, soon stopped to be fixed on Han-woo-jin. It's just been quiet for a while, but the passion is still there,

We crossed the barn in a voice that was not able to support.

"First of all, I'll celebrate. I heard both Sydney and Brazil hold the championship cup. Very nice! You and Choi Yeon-hyuk are really good at these days because of their friends. "

"Go, thank you."

If you're congratulated, you'll get it this way. Mr. Cho also lacked that, reaching beyond the table. Hanwoojin hurriedly shook the wrinkled hand and shook it several times. The traces of time remain

Silver hands were thin, but they were unpaired in billions of years.

"At the end of March, we have an ATP league in Korea."

And for a while still happened. Former director is also the first time I hear it, but a big eye popped out. In Han Woo-jin and Shin Se-yeon, his mouth was wide open and his soul was open.

No, what are you talking about all of a sudden?

The first person to be aware of the elder's example was the former bishop. In a trembling voice he asked to see what he had just heard.

"A, A, ATP League?"

"Yes, that's ATP500."

"5, 500!"

For a while, I decided to join the two men who were opening their mouths. Earl was left out.

It's amazing that the ATP League will be held in Korea, but 500? What did the tennis federation think about attracting the tournament?

Various questions arise, repeating them several times.

President Cho laughed happily with a face that seemed to understand their troubles. In order to see this reaction, I have put up with the desire to say so far. Proud and cheerful, that

In addition, various emotions soared and burst like an active volcano.

Hanwoojin barely regained his words, shaking his lips and asked a question. I was guessing, but getting the answer was another story.

"Yeah, then, President. Why did you call me now? "

"Of course it is because of this competition."

The president called his sharp and firm eyes like that of a raptor. The tournament attracted the first ATP League in Korea. With support from Chairman Cho up to the size of the prize

Upgraded to ATP500. The expectation was so great.

And his intention was another.

"The first ATP League in Korea. It is also an opportunity to spread the sport of tennis to our people. "

It's not like Futures or Challenger League, where you'll know where it's open, when it's open and when it ends. The ATP League, which is used even in the Olympic stadium, is a festival that the whole city is raving about.

buy. It was the PR effect that Cho was aiming for.

"The people in our country are surprisingly patriotic in sports. I don't mind being an outstanding sports player and being proud of being a mixed Korean. Less pure

I wouldn't say anything if I'm Korean. "

It's like a fool to hear it and not know it. At this point, Han Woo-jin had an intuition about what Cho wanted to ask him and did not immediately estimate the difficulty of the request.

The color became white.

Not surprisingly, Chairman Cho held Hanwoojin's hand again and bowed his head.

"This is why I called you. I know it sounds too hard. … But I want to ask you. "

His eyes were burning in President Cho's face leaned back. The ghost was surprised to hit the line.

Where is this seventy year old man?

Han Woo-jin, who was trying to pull himself out of his uncomfortable feeling of pressure, stopped by the holding hands. It was not a grip. A different weight was tightening my hands.

Han Woo-jin's ear was caught, unable to run away, and echoed Cho's hotly locked voice.

"This ATP500 Seoul Open, Han Woo-jin will win you."
