On the day after the fierce final of the Seoul Open final, Han Woo-jin visited NK C & T headquarters under the call of Chairman Cho. As he heard from the director yesterday, he came to headquarters around lunch, but the president didn't have a good timing.
The answer was that he was still in a meeting.
'I just have to wait.'
Even in meetings, I could not just go back.
Besides, it was much time anyway. Han Woo-jin, who felt that the Seoul Open was one of the three fingers of all the competitions, has had plenty of time since the competition. Wait a few minutes, hours
There was no problem.
"Can I wait until the meeting is over?"
When Hanwoojin asked, the desk staff, who was standing with a sorry face, replied in halftone. If he left this way, maybe he wanted to.
"Oh, I'll take you to the waiting room. I've also contacted you, so you'll be able to see him right after the meeting. "
"Then do it."
Han Woo-jin put himself in the elevator under the guidance of the staff. ······································································································································································
The waiting room is probably the seventh floor
Seemed to be equipped.
"You are relaxing. In time, I'll call you at the extension phone on your wall. "
"Yes, Thank you."
At the end of the tour, the staff withdrew from the waiting room. Hanwoojin, who was left alone in the spacious waiting room, looked around for a while. It was not just wide. It was a perfect resting place with carbonated drinks and snacks such as coffee, bread and sweets. It was a place where guests and tired staff would come to breathe.
But for Hanwoojin, who had eaten until lunch, the spacious waiting room was not boring. Hanging on his back on a soft sofa, Hanwoojin's eyelids, who don't like to spend time in vain, came down.
'Is the status window checked?'
Yesterday there were so many things that I couldn't see the message even though there was a great event of winning ATP500. Now that I've come to know, I was thinking of keeping my head clean.
Soon afterwards, reminders of Han Woo-jin's headlined yesterday began to come to mind.
[Fierce play! Strength and agility stats rise by 1 for the first time in the ATP500 League.]
[Fierce play! Experience gained greatly in return for winning the finals of the ATP500 League.]
[50 win over the ranking difference! Experience is added.]
[Serve level increased by 1]
[Dropshot level increased by 1]
[Forehand level increased by 1]
Massive messages passed through Hanwoojin's brainstorming. The ATP500 league championship and the winning price against Angie Roddick were summed up to create a huge increase in stats. The root of style
It was also unexpected, after hitting the second, and agility.
However, the contents of the message Hanwoojin noticed was about the rise of skill level.
'The serve-level is 19 ··· but this is different from when I get Stinger. I don't think the Stinger will evolve into another form just by going to Serve Level 20. '
Previously, the Serves reached level 14 and were restricted from using special skills. If he was right, the technology wouldn't show up even if the sub-level reached 20. Then Hanwoojin will be able to
It was obvious that more time would be required to get the skills.
If there is a possibility skill, it is about volley proud of high level with forehand which level was raised this time. Other than the technology used as the flagship, it was difficult to expect rapid growth.
Subsequently, Han Woo-jin, who carefully checked his status window, immediately opened his eyes. His eyes, which confirmed his growth, were filled with energy that had not been there before.
"Is it one step further?"
It's still far Radar must raise skill to level equal to Roger. The skill is essential for the Grand Slam's winning trophy. There was a highland there that could not be stopped at this point.
But let's be happy today. Satisfied with yesterday's victory, let's give a word of praise to yourself.
Han Woo-jin loosened his face that was always hard and put weight on soft sofa leather. Pleasant feeling of dysfunction tickled the throbbing muscles gently.
But the spare time could not last long. Han Woo-jin was scared to loosen his body, and the phone on the wall turned up and found him.
At the top of this building, President Cho was calling him.
* * *
How many times have you already had this?
Han Woo-jin, who entered the chairman's office, is now seeing an unfamiliar scent. Finding the source was not too difficult. The fragrance from the coffee machine, the chairman Cho is looking at the buttons
It was.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I'm attracted to meetings more than I thought. Hmm, would you have a cup of coffee? "
"Oh, thank you."
Unable to refuse, Hanwoojin put himself on the couch across from Cho. Chairman Cho was able to operate the device with his skillfully encapsulated capsules, and in less than two minutes, he poured a cup of soft brown coffee. Just smell
The fragrance came out so good that it was worth it.
'It tastes bitter but'
Han Woo-jin did not like coffee much. I don't know if it's sweet canned coffee, but it's hard to sip some bitter flavors like Americano and espresso. How can the smell be so good?
If it tastes bitter like chewing. Even if the taste is as good as half the smell, you'll be happy to drink it.
"Well, get it."
Chairman Cho pushed the cup forward to Hanwoojin. He picked up the cup as he gave it and smelled it. The main culprit of the fragrance filling the room was this guy. I think it's a bit of a sip, but the bitter taste spreads in my mouth
Went out.
Did I have a frown on my face? President Joe laughed down and put his glass down. Coffee had not been reduced by half.
"Hahaha! You know how to look like that. How many people eat coffee by taste? "
"Sorry. You gave me the best ride ...
"It's done. I don't drink this too. It smells good and burns, but I couldn't eat it by taste. How expensive is it again? In the end, all the juice is boiled. "
"Phu Ab."
President Woo's straightforward words warped Hanwoojin's death. It was the price that caught the laughter trying to burst. It wasn't anyone else's juice that boiled soybean powder.
Was this something for him, who always looked strict? The intimate appearance was soaring. Mr. Cho continued the conversation with his empty smile.
"Yes, how nice it is to laugh. Did you rest well yesterday? "
"Yes, I have a good rest. Ah! And thank you, President. My parents really liked it. "
You can order all the menus in a special room of a high-class restaurant that overlooks the nearby night view. In a place where they would not have been extravagant in their daily life, family members solved their eldest son and brother. How much is this?
After eating my mother, I was laughing at the price of money. It was the canon that was seen thanks to President's consideration.
"Good thing. If you don't like Italian food, I was worried. I have a gruel. "
Does not smoke As expected, President Cho showed a distribution that suited his position. In fact, that was nothing to him. A lavish meal for your favorite young man, a reason to waste money
Was not a bit.
The atmosphere of one sank disappeared. The boundary between the two was blurred by the emotions coming and going. In such gentle air, Chairman Cho pulled out the main ideas
heard.
"I called you here today because I have something to say about the new covenant."
"What's your new contract?"
Han Woo-jin looked bewildered. Nevertheless, the contract was renewed once, winning the ATP League. In addition, the contract was overwhelmingly good compared to other players. But you need to sign a new contract
I didn't know if it was in D.
Rather than go into the description of the contract, Cho first turned to a different story. It wasn't even related to the contract mentioned earlier.
"I'll tell you the good news before that. It's because of you, so you need to know. "
"I'm curious if you talk so far."
"I will not abandon my expectations."
After a few words, President Cho emptied half of the remaining coffee, and then showed his teeth and showed a wild smile.
Following the opening of the ATP500 Seoul, the ATP league will also be in Daegu and Busan. The rating is probably 250. "
"I really am?"
Han Woo-jin was surprised and opened her mouth. It was another thing from Seoul Open, which was made by working hard under water at NK Corporation. This will allow Korea to hold three ATP competitions, which is a challenge for the ATP Association.
It could be said that the evidence was corrected to some extent.
"What a surprise. Because of you all? "
"That's because of me?"
"Think about it. I've lost to a guy who's been evaluated for nothing, so what can I do to build my pride from the loser's position? "
It sounds like a riddle, but Han Woo-jin quickly pinpointed what President Cho meant. In order for the loser to defend his position, he first needed to justify his defeat. To tell the coward of your opponent
Or to convince you that your condition was incomplete. If not
"··· You need to raise your partner."
"It's correct."
Recognizing and raising your opponent that you have lost. The policy taken by the association was similar. The decision was made in the sense that Korea has established a good tennis infrastructure to generate world rankers.
G. In that way, Hanwoojin was not wrong.
President Cho glanced at the young man in front of his eyes and confessed that he had not yet told anyone. I had to tell Hanwoojin as much.
"So I'm going to expand this nationwide tennis infrastructure on this occasion. Like Japan, after-school activities will help raise the youth floor and make it easy for citizens to play tennis centers everywhere. Roast the beans from behind
I received a promise from the busy Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to actively support me. "
"That's right."
Han Woo-jin couldn't hide his slight embarrassment. He didn't know why he was saying this to himself. Obviously aspirations, but Hanwoojin knows that something
It doesn't have to be large.
"You wonder why I'm talking to you right now?"
"···That's right."
The former director was a ghostly old man. Han Woo-jin did not deny and nodded. As President Cho knew it was, this time he brought out the true use of calling him today.
"A sport requires an icon in order to be injured. Like Cha Bum-geun, who used to play Korean football on the European stage, and Chan Ho Park, who commanded the major leagues during the IMF. "
It was right. Although no one lives in this era, Hanwoojin nodded more easily, knowing the future ten years later. Without even going to Ali, who fought racism,
There was no room for refusal to look at Pacquiao.
But Han Woo-jin did not hit the ball. Rather, he looked at President Cho with a firm firm complexion. Chairman Cho smiled and added, saying,
Now he was convinced of what Joe had called to say. Even as the air pressure went up, the air felt stuffy.
And finally, the thunder fell from President Joe's mouth.
"Yes, it's exactly what you guessed. I'm going to make you an icon of Korean tennis. "
