Episode 153 [ In my name (1) ]
Click. Just like that.
Breakfast at the mansion was held very quietly.
The housekeeper moved more cautiously than before, and the family just ate quietly.
Click.
At that time, I heard the sound of chopsticks being placed on the table.
The family peeked to see where the sound was coming from.
The person who put down the chopsticks loudly was President Kim Joo-kyung, the eldest daughter of this family and the successor after her son’s death.
She said as she looked at her old father sitting at the head of the table.
“I plan to go to the potion launching event today.”
Her old father. The chairman of SG Electronics just nodded at her words.
After losing his son, his successor, and losing his flagship company, SG Electronics, Chairman Kim lost his vitality.
To be honest, even now, Joo-kyung couldn’t understand the chairman who gave up so easily after SG Electronics was taken away.
It was worth fighting to the end using SG collaborators scattered throughout the political world and at various levels, but the chairman gave up too early.
But she didn’t say anything about it.
Since her brother was gone, she was now the successor to SG Group.
One axis, SG Electronics, was cut off, but SG Group was still in second place upon restart.
For her, controlling the remaining groups was more important than taking back SG Electronics.
So, I came back home and was having a meal with my old father.
Ju-kyung added her words to her father’s indifferent appearance.
“This event will officially be the world’s first potion launching event. Several awakened people who can make potions have appeared for some time now, but this is the first time that a company has been created and launched like this.”
The family looked at her. This was because I did not know the purpose of continuing the story.
However, the chairman seemed to be not interested and just continued eating.
“But the CEO of this potion company is a Chinese person who recently registered as an awakened person. Was her name Jin Xiawei?”
The restaurant suddenly became quiet.
The Chairman’s meal had stopped.
Chairman Kim looked at her intently.
A darkness rose from deep in the Chairman’s eyes.
‘That’s a terrible old lady. As expected, she has energy. It wasn’t lost. It’s still scary.’
Ju-kyung could feel cold sweat running down the back of her neck.
The chairman opened his mouth.
“Are you talking about the girl who made jewelry?”
“Oh, you still remember.”
Of course, the chairman remembered.
The Chinese woman, the gangster leader, and the humble brooch seller.
The shock of losing the company he had built his entire life put him aside, but he was not a person who forgot what had happened.
Chairman Kim said to his daughter,
“Come understand.”
“Sure.”
The daughter smiled and answered.
She got the answer she wanted.
*
That evening.
“We have arrived.”
She got out of the car and tilted her head when she saw the event venue.
[JK POTION Launching Event]
The exterior wall of the hotel convention hall was covered with banners.
“Have you received a lot of investment?”
The scale of the event was much larger than expected, as the entire hotel convention hall was rented to hold the event.
To be honest, it wasn’t an event worth coming to. An invitation came, but if it wasn’t for the name Jin Xiawei, there was no reason to come.
“Ah, boss, are you here?”
“hello?”
“I am from Silla Corporation...”
As she headed toward the event venue, people who recognized her quickly bowed their heads.
She smiled broadly and bowed her head.
It was very annoying, but I still had to maintain a good image.
The venue she entered under the guidance of the director surprised her once again.
The inside of the event venue was also very neatly prepared.
It was an event prepared at the highest level, with luxurious interiors and well-trained event staff.
“Such a waste in times like these...”
Ju-kyung clicked her tongue as she looked around.
“You’re right. Such a scary thing happened in China not long ago, and such a spectacular launch. I don’t know what you’re thinking.”
Ju-kyung frowned at the sound she heard behind her. It was the voice of a woman younger than herself. It was a useless meddling.
But she relaxed her face again and looked back.
“But there’s a reason for everything. It’s a little weird...”
Ju-kyung’s expression. This has hardened.
“I’m Kang Kyung-hoon. I run a small jewelry company.”
Chairman Ha looked at him with a strange expression,
“I feel like I’ve seen you before somewhere...”
“I think it’s my first time seeing you.”
The chairman grinned at Kyung-hoon’s answer.
“I guess that’s the case if you are.”
After the greetings were over, the three continued chatting.
Ju-kyung did not understand the current situation.
The president of the Awakened Association came and went, and the Chinese women and the Arab boy also came and returned to their seats, but I didn’t even see that scene. Meanwhile, the event started.
[Thank you to all the guests. From now on, we will start the launching event for JK POTION. [He is the CEO of our company.]
The event began with a famous celebrity as host.
Jin Xiawei, wearing a nice suit, came up on stage.
Jin Xiawei’s appearance in a suit was different from other times. A cool entrepreneur was standing on stage.
She stood in front of the microphone and looked around the venue. She didn’t even seem to be shaking.
She checked the tables and greeted familiar faces.
Lastly, I looked around at the tables in front.
The corners of her mouth slightly raised when she saw the table.
She looked alternately at Kyung-hoon and Hye-rin sitting at the table in front of her, and Hye-rin looked at Jin Xiawei with a triumphant expression.
Jin Xiawei, seeing Hyerin’s expression, smiled strangely.
She took the microphone.
[Before we proceed with the event, there is someone I would like to thank. He helped me build the company and is my lifesaver and protector.]
She raised her hand and pointed at Kyung-hoon.
[CEO Kang Kyung-hoon.]
Kyung-hoon sighed.
I was planning on revealing myself as Kang Kyung-hoon after today, but today things were going quite spontaneously.
-Not much different from plan yet. Come on, wake up!
The feeling of fun was also evident in Eve’s urging voice.
Kyunghoon stood up, looked behind him, and lowered his head.
Amid the formal applause, several tables erupted in enthusiastic applause.
It was applause from people who knew him.
Kyung-hoon sat down in the middle of a bit of chaos, and Hye-rin pouted.
“Since when did Heung Ji know?”
I whispered softly, but there was no way Kyung-hoon, the awakened person, could not hear.
-I think you’re going to have a hard time.
It was just as Eve said.
Fortunately, the war of nerves ended there.
After that, a normal launch announcement followed.
A model came forward holding a potion in a beautiful transparent case, and Jin Xiawei explained the potion.
[This potion is a health recovery potion. This potion heals even mild wounds at the same time and has a characteristic apple scent.]
Hahaha.
Jin Xiawei’s presentation was very natural and fun.
The explanation of the mana recovery potion and wound recovery potion continued.
Everyone who came here was familiar with potions.
In the meantime, I have seen it distributed through the EV website and even tasted what was made by the newly awakened people who appeared around the time of the cataclysm.
Honestly, what was important to the people who came now was how many of these potions could be distributed.
There was no way Jin Xiawei was unaware of that atmosphere.
[It looks like you’re not having fun. First, let me answer your questions. We have now started mass production. You will be able to see the potions in large markets within this week.]
The building was still going up, but the production process had been completed some time ago.
The expressions of the people who were watching comfortably changed. It’s a quantity that can be found in stores. Then the story is different.
As the atmosphere changed, she resumed her presentation.
[This time it’s a strawberry-flavored healing potion.]
Chairman Ha straightened his back. The chairman’s eyes lit up.
[Good for physical weakness and regular recovery. In particular, it has significant effects on some cancers. This is very expensive.]
Jin Xiawei continued speaking, but the chairman was looking ahead of him. Before I knew it, a bottle was sitting on the table.
Red potion. A faint strawberry scent was coming out.
The chairman turned his head to look at the table next to him, but the young man was only looking at the stage.
Jin Xiawei’s presentation continued. And the final announcement.
[This is the last potion. Our company’s conversion potion!]
Kyung-hoon shook his head at Jin Xia-wei’s words. That too was a failure.
A potion I made while trying to create a new treatment. Instead of improving hair texture, it was a potion that gave strange results.
[This is a potion for new hair growth. Bald head potion! It’s definitely effective!]
This was the moment Jin Xiawei finished speaking.
People got up from their seats.
“how much!”
“I’ll buy it right away!”
The chairman was shocked.
