SWNOVELXO chapter 96
Chapter 96
Jung-sook received the gift and handed it over to the housekeeper.
Jisoo was wearing an elegant dress that came down to her knees.
Jisoo’s father, Lee Kwang-hoon, was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and he pressed the button on the remote control to turn off the TV and get up.
He was a handsome middle-aged man with a cute face.
Gwang-hoon looked at Min-joon and said.
“Welcome.”
“nice to see you. My name is Minjun Park.”
“I am Jisoo’s father Lee Kwanghoon.”
“Yes, thank you for inviting me.”
Since Gwang-hoon held out his hand, Min-jun also reached out and shook hands.
I left work two hours earlier than usual when I found out that I had dinner with a special guest today.
I was a bit surprised to hear about Min-jun, who lives in room 902, from his wife, Jeong-suk.
Even the market price of Aqua Castle Villa in Cheongdam-dong, 98 pyeong, is 8.6 billion won.
Including management fees and various living expenses, it was not a place to live without financial support.
I was curious when I heard that Minjun was extremely handsome in his mid-20s.
‘This is much more handsome than I heard?’
Minjun was tall at 193 cm, with broad shoulders and a muscular body.
He had deep-set eyes on his incredibly handsome face.
Such Minjun was wearing a high-end suit, and it suited him very well.
Min-jun was such a handsome man that even Kwang-hoon himself, a man, fell in love with him.
Handsome movie stars or popular actors came to mind, but it was difficult to say that he was more handsome compared to Minjun, even though he was well-known.
It was to such an extent that exclamations came out spontaneously.
If it was a woman, it seemed like she would just fall in love with me.
He seemed to know why his wife Jeong-suk and daughter Ji-soo invited him to dinner.
Outwardly, he was a neighbor, so he invited him to dinner to promote friendship, but he had it in mind as a son-in-law.
“Honey, since dinner is ready, you’d better go to the dining room.”
“Okay. Let’s go.”
“Yes, I understand.”
I went into the dining room and as expected, it was very luxurious.
The fresh flower table centerpiece Minjun had brought was placed on the table.
The table was set with high quality plates and utensils.
Minjun took off his jacket and hung it on a hanger.
After that, I sat down in a luxurious chair.
Opposite Minjun sat Jeongsuk and Jisoo.
The housekeeper brought the gift box to Jeong-sook.
His wife, Jeong-suk, showed it to her husband, Kwang-hoon.
It was a bottle of Scotch Ballantine’s 30 Year Old.
It was neither too expensive nor cheap, so it was suitable as a gift for a dinner invitation.
Gwang-hun also nodded his head because he understood it in an instant.
“Thank you for the gift.”
“no.”
“Madam, then let’s eat.”
“all right.”
Housekeepers came forward and brought appetizers.
It was a dinner with care, like being served a Western course meal at a famous restaurant.
“You look tall. How tall are you?”
“It is 193 centimeters.”
“Hmm, I said it looked a bit big. You look pretty good, do you exercise?”
“I exercise moderately for health, but I don’t go to the sports center.”
The shirt was tight to the body, showing off his muscular body.
“Looks like I have abs too.”
“Yes, because abs are necessary to balance the body.”
Even the suit, shirt, and tie that Minjun was wearing were of high quality.
Some were luxury goods and some were not, but there was no doubt that they were famous brands.
I could tell just by looking at the Patek Philippe hand-made watch on my wrist that it cost hundreds of millions of won.
‘You seem to be thoroughly self-managing.’
Appearance was a special grade and passed unconditionally.
“Where did you go to school?”
“I was discharged from the military last year, went back to school, and graduated from the Department of Philosophy at Hansung University last February.”
“Hansung University Department of Philosophy?”
Although Hansung University is a university located in Seoul, it was not a highly recognized university close to a third-rate university at the end of the second-rate.
That’s why it was difficult to put an academic background on it.
“Hmm, then what do your parents do?”
“I am a farmer who grows vegetables in rice farming and plastic greenhouses in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do.”
I couldn’t believe that the farmer’s son was living in Cheongdam-dong Aqua Castle Villa No. 902, 98 pyeong.
It is said that the market price is 8.6 billion won.
It was not a simple farmer, but it seemed that the farming was very large and the land was wide.
“Then what about the brothers?”
“We are 5 siblings. I have the eldest son and eldest daughter, I am the third, and I have a younger brother and younger sister who are also high school students.”
At Min-jun’s words, Kwang-hun, Jeong-suk, and Ji-soo nodded their heads.
It wasn’t a census, and it could be a bit rude, but Min-jun didn’t think so at all and answered truthfully.
The main dish, T-bone steak, came out.
The housekeeper put the plate down and backed off.
It was such a well-roasted T-bone steak.
I don’t know the plate well, but it looked like a European luxury plate.
Swoop! Swipe!
Minjun tried to cut the t-bone steak with a knife, and it was cut smoothly.
The seasoning seemed to be well done, and the sauce looked like a special sauce, not an ordinary one.
I put the meat cut with a fork in my mouth and chewed it, and it was very delicious that the juices flowed out.
The meat looked like Hanwoo 1++ grade.
“How about T-bone steak?”
“It is soft and delicious.”
“is it so?”
Jeongsuk nodded his head with a satisfied expression.
Jisoo noticed and put the meat in her mouth.
Gwanghun looked at Minjun and said.
“Looks like your parents are doing a lot of farming.”
“no. It’s about the salary level of an office worker.”
“So you inherited a lot of inheritance from your ancestors?”
“Not even that. Everything I live on right now is my wealth.”
“You said you recently graduated from the Department of Philosophy at Hansung University, but did you do business?”
“no. Until last year, I had a part-time job after being discharged from the military.”
Gwang-hoon couldn’t understand more after hearing Min-jun’s words.
It did not make sense that he had not inherited an inheritance from his parents, nor had he started a business, but he had bought a 98 pyeong apartment in Aqua Castle Villa No. 902 in Cheongdam-dong and moved in.
“Oh, that sounds strange. Did you win the first prize in the lucky lottery?”
“That’s right.”
“Huh, is that true?”
“Yes that’s right. I won the first prize in the lucky lottery several times and became a wealthy man of 500 billion units.”
“500 billion units?”
At Minjun’s words, everyone looked blank.
It was a great fortune to win the first prize in the lucky lottery.
But I couldn’t believe that I won it so many times.
“Um, I know that winning the first prize in the lucky lottery requires great luck, but it’s surprising that you won it so many times.”
“I can say that I was lucky to some extent. Anyway, thanks to the Lucky Lottery, my life has been turned around.”
“Umm, then what are you going to do next?”
“I have no intention of starting a job or starting a business yet. However, I plan to invest in stocks for a while while taking my time.”
“Investing in stocks?”
“That’s right.”
“Do you know that investing in stocks is an investment, not different from speculation?”
“Isn’t that also different depending on a person’s ability?”
“Hmm, it seems that you have studied a lot about stocks.”
“No, I don’t know anything about stocks at all. I’ve never done that before.”
“Hmm, so you mean investing in stocks?”
“of course. As far as I know, even self-proclaimed stock experts don’t make good profits.”
At Minjun’s words, everyone looked at them as if they were absurd.
Either that or not, Minjun was very unconcerned.
“I plan to become a billionaire by investing in stocks lightly as an individual investor.”
“The confidence of a person with trillions of wealth is truly amazing.”
“I don’t care what other people think. In the end, according to my will, I will become a billionaire.”
“·······”
“·······”
“·······”
“You probably know most of the things you want to know about me. So now let me ask you a question. What do you do?”
“You are running Kwang Myung Pharmaceutical.”
“Oh, is that so?”
It is a pharmaceutical company that Min-jun has also heard of.
Kwangmyung Pharmaceutical is not a large company, but a small and medium-sized company with a capital of 60 billion won, but it was a fairly solid pharmaceutical company.
If we estimate that Kwang-hoon runs Kwang-myeong Pharmaceutical and owns some real estate, he seemed to be a wealthy person with 100 billion or 200 billion units.
It could be more than 200 billion, but since Min-joon is a man with a fortune of 500 billion, it wouldn’t be more than this.
Gwang-hun liked Min-jun because he had a special appearance.
I did, but when I learned about my personal identity, I was greatly disappointed.
He graduated from the Department of Philosophy at Hansung University, which is only a second-rate university.
He was discharged from the military here, but he was unemployed, not working or running a business.
It was surprising that he won the first prize in the lucky lottery several times with great luck and became a wealthy man of 500 billion won, but he was not a true upper class person.
Kwang-hoon’s wealth was also worth 230 billion won, including Kwang-myeong Pharmaceutical and real estate.
However, compared to Minjun’s wealth, it was less than half.
The absurd thing was that he intended to become a billionaire by investing in stocks, which is no different from speculation or gambling.
I didn’t major in business administration or study stocks.
It looked so absurd and stupid.
‘It’s good if you don’t blow away all your wealth to become a billionaire through stock investment.’
I had a lot of questions about Min-joon, but after I found out, my interest dropped drastically.
It was inevitable that Min-jun was lucky to win the first prize in the lucky lottery several times and became a man of 500 billion won, but he was unemployed.
If you bought a building or a commercial building and lived on rent as the landlord, you would be able to live comfortably without worrying too much.
However, I was disappointed that I would do a risky stock investment that was no different from an adventure or a gamble.
What was even more absurd was that he wanted to become a billionaire through stock investment.
He was not an elite who specialized in stocks, but was a complete novice in stocks.
When such a person invested in stocks, it was obvious that he would lose a lot of money.
Even so, it seemed difficult to dissuade or persuade Minjun.
The atmosphere turned cold.
It wasn’t Minjun who didn’t know that.
I calmly ate the entire T-bone steak.
The housekeeper quickly brought cheesecake and coffee beans for dessert.
Jisoo, who was watching, said to Minjun.
“You said that you are a beginner who does not know anything about stocks, but how can you become a billionaire by investing in stocks?”
“Let’s call it my own know-how.”
“What do you mean by know-how?”
“If you invest with your own hunch that others cannot understand, you can hit the jackpot.”
At Min-joon’s absurd answer, Ji-soo, his mother, Jeong-suk, and his father, Gwang-hun, looked absurd.
In other words, a newcomer to stocks was going to hit the jackpot by investing in stocks with his own hunch.
It didn’t make sense and I couldn’t understand whether it was possible to become a wealthy man with such a premonition.
Before he knew it, Minjun finished eating the cheesecake for dessert and drank coffee beans.
At first, Gwang-hun liked Min-joon, so he tried to allow Min-joon to go out with his daughter Ji-soo after casually having a drink and chatting.
However, I felt that Min-joon was a nerd, so I lost interest.
Jeong-suk and Ji-soo were also slightly disappointed with Min-joon’s answer, but they believed that they would be able to live without worrying about money for the rest of their lives because they had 500 billion won, so even if they lost 100 billion won in stock investment, they would have 400 billion won left.
Losing a large sum of 100 billion won would teach me a big lesson, so I thought that wouldn’t be too bad.
