Episode 320
“Is this the best? “Was this the best?”
Yunhee opened her eyes wide and screamed.
Angkaljigin.
I don’t know why they blame me for not having the eyes for men.
I said while holding out my spoon to the soybean paste stew in front of me.
“What are you doing with your parents around?”
“I don’t look like that now! “Do you know how much I suffered because of you?”
“What trouble?”
Isn’t the trouble caused by me who moved it myself?
“Oh, indeed. Are you really saying that? Tell me? “Are you out of your mind?”
“It’s because I really don’t know.”
“okay? mom! Do you know what this person did when he came to our guild?”
At the same time, Yunhee started talking about what I did at the Holy Guild.
I really didn’t do anything.
There was a soft, flirty feeling between Jang Tae-joo and Yoon-hee, so it was just a light test of a man who could be her future brother-in-law.
Wouldn’t it be troublesome if my brother-in-law went somewhere and got hit? Therefore, it was important to determine whether one had the potential to become a superhuman.
The most important talents to become a superman are grit and tenacity.
It is important to have the tenacity to withstand the beatings that are imprinted on your body, and the key is to have the mental strength to withstand it without giving up.
Taejoo Jang was a failure from that perspective.
After being knocked out by me, he completely lost his will to fight and ran away in an ugly manner.
The fact that he left the Sacred Guild after that means that he got rid of a guy with rotten character.
Normally, in cases like this, it’s normal for people to thank me, saying they thought it was a good decision in advance.
“….”
My parents looked at me in bewilderment after hearing Yunhee’s story, but I was confident.
“Even if you meet a guy like that, it’s not nutritious. If a monster appears, he will abandon you and run away. “It was cleaned up well in advance.”
“How do you know that!”
“It’s obvious just by looking at it.”
“Anyway, my dating business is all messed up because of you! Now, whenever the men in the guild see me, they take three steps at a time! “Don’t even talk to me!”
“why?”
“Because I think I’ll be beaten to death if I get involved with you!”
There was quite a bit of sarcasm in Yunhee’s words. I tested it because I thought it would be my future brother-in-law, and I have no intention of testing everything just because it’s a man.
Could it be that all of these guys were left in the fishing grounds?
When he showed signs of not understanding me, he shouted again.
“Don’t you think that your younger brother is popular in the guild!”
“Was it popular? “I knew this for the first time.”
“Ah-oh! Are you really going to kill this?”
It seems like it was a big shock to Yoon-hee that the dating business fell apart right before her eyes.
Even if I give in a hundred times and say I was wrong, I still have something to say.
I wanted Yoon-hee to meet the right man, but I didn’t want to see a guy who just looked good on the outside.
To do that, of course, we need to test it to see how it actually works. Otherwise, we cannot rule out the possibility of being caught by a strange guy and having trouble.
“Don’t worry too much. “If we don’t think there is a candidate for the position, we will hold a nationwide audition and nominate a good candidate.”
“Do you think I would want that!”
“Wasn’t it because you were afraid you wouldn’t be able to date?”
“no it’s not! And I’m a fan of conceit! The relationship has to be natural. What kind of audition is this? This is why you girls have a hard time! under! “I really need to understand, but it’s so hard.”
For your information, I never asked for understanding. I don’t even think I’m wrong.
“Junho was mean.”
In the end, the poor mother took Yoon-hee’s side. It seemed like they had chosen a way to calm down the rampaging guy.
“Look, right?”
It’s hard to make a fuss with that one thing.
“Yeah, you’re great.”
“Anyway, there’s no way to just admit it. Anyway, don’t worry about your brother’s dating business. Because of what I did this time, it will take a long time to restore my network again. “It’s my responsibility.”
As I watched the guy muttering, I thought he was going to have an accident at some point.
Should I introduce you to a guy I think is good?
This seems like a better way.
[Are there decent people?]
Of course there are.
But…
he’s too old.
No matter how good it is, it’s not good to be a father in your age group.
Next time, if I think it’s a decent piece of wood, I’ll take a look at it instead of killing it. It may be better to get rid of him quickly when he is an enemy, but if he becomes family, there may be a good one.
Are there so few decent people in the world?
“It’s not easy.”
[Take care of yourself.]
* * *
The policy of the Cheon Myeong-guk government was clear.
Key positions will be replaced sequentially while maintaining the policy of the previous Jeon Han-cheol administration.
Since most of the replacements were former Awakened people, the opposition party fiercely criticized the league, saying it was no different from a league composed mainly of Awakened people.
Nevertheless, the public perception was not that bad. On the contrary, they were giving full support to his efforts to dispel the anxieties of being a political novice and to promote the influence of the Republic of Korea through active actions.
Under this government policy, Oh Jong-yeop also received unprecedented promotions. The guy who was bragging about the fact that he was my friend met someone who could demonstrate his talent, proved it, and took the position of team leader of the National Defense Bureau.
I didn’t do anything to help, it was purely my own ability. Rather, because he was my friend, he was judged by stricter standards and survived it.
His younger brother, Oh Jong-su, was also doing his part as an administrative official at the National Security Bureau. The fate of Oh Jong-yeop’s family, which almost faced catastrophe, has changed.
As a result, I ended up getting married to my good friend.
I heard that there was a lot of opposition from his future father-in-law during the process of getting married. This may be a natural result due to the nature of the awakened person who is orphaned and does not know when he will die.
“Thank you. It’s all thanks to you.”
On the day of his wedding, that guy looked happy as if he had the world.
The last time I saw him, he acted like he was going to get married tomorrow, but the story was very different.
“My father-in-law didn’t even give me permission to be your friend. So I had no choice but to try harder. I’m glad the results were good. Haha!”
That’s what I said, but I know that the process to prove it was arduous.
If it were me, I would have ignored it, but Oh Jong-yeop couldn’t. The result is a wedding.
It was also receiving a lot of attention in the place where we are currently talking.
Well, wherever I go these days, I’m getting attention. I also know that I am becoming quite a hot topic.
I also exchanged greetings with the person who would become Oh Jong-yeop’s father-in-law.
“This is Junho Choi.”
“This is Heo Young-gyu.”
The person introduced as Heo Young-gyu is a third-term politician belonging to the opposition party and is said to be politically colorless, but he is called the god of management in his local district.
…Of course, I didn’t research it, but Jin Se-jeong researched it and brought it to me.
They are said to be well-regarded and are known for their integrity as they do not accumulate private wealth.
“Even though Jong-yeop grew up in a rough environment, he has good skills, talent, and personality.”
“I know. From my experience, there is no other Jin-guk like him. But I thought that as a man, I had to stand taller than my friends. “Jong-yeop showed it to me, so I gave permission to get married.”
“That’s a great decision.”
“It was for my daughter and also for Jong-yeop. “I won’t cause you any trouble through Jong-yeop.”
“I don’t have any intention of listening anyway.”
Even without my help, Oh Jong-yeop has the ability to do well on his own.
His gift is quite useful in terms of power, so he will be able to achieve success as an awakened person.
What if it doesn’t work?
Since their skills are not good enough, I can guide them and improve their skills.
I’ve definitely got a feel for this aspect.
“But since I said hello like this, next time you see me, pretend you know me.”
“Are you sure you’re coming during the government audit?”
“no.”
“If you had said you would come out, there would have been an uproar. “There was a superhuman warning from the party.”
“I have no intention of getting much involved in politics. “As long as you don’t touch it, as long as you don’t touch it.”
“I will ask the members of the party to do so.”
Yes, I thought it was good to have a member of the opposition party who could communicate well.
Politics is not something that only the ruling party can do well. If the opposition party does well, the ruling party will also be nervous and try to do better. Even though Heo Young-gyu doesn’t have outstanding human charm, he has substance, so I thought it would be good to use him.
By the time I returned from visiting my friend’s wedding, the office was in chaos.
“Superman! “Is it true that you gave 10 billion won as a gift to your friend’s wedding?”
Jin Se-jeong, who had a shocked expression on her face, came running to me and asked. I just went to a wedding?
“Team leader, how did you do that?”
“The news is already buzzing. and! Choin is really big. Even if you are a friend, that amount of money….”
“Money is not a big problem.”
I searched on the Internet and it said that the standard for giving congratulatory money should be based on the degree to which someone is close to me, but the only person around me that I can call a friend is Oh Jong-yeop. So I paid a reasonable amount to not be discouraged, but I didn’t know it would become a hot topic.
“Is it a problem?”
“There are a few, but they are all minor. “You just have to work it out.”
If so, you’re lucky.
But why did you run over something so trivial?
Could it be that Jin Se-jeong is meeting someone?
“Team leader, please let me know when you get married. “I can do that much.”
“yes? me too? “I don’t have a partner yet, and I still have a good job, but…”
“It’s not urgent. “If a good person appears, just do it.”
“Should I get married to get 10 billion won?”
I guess the power that 10 billion brings is greater than I thought.
Is Jin Se-jeong in difficult circumstances? Should I raise my salary further? I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about money since it was the highest salary.
If it’s not enough, I’m willing to raise it more. I guess I can bring it up during the next negotiation.
“If you need money, just tell me. “That amount can be loaned interest-free.”
“Really?”
“of course.”
Jin Se-jeong’s eyes opened at my words.
“I fell in love with that superman. ah! It’s not that I fell in love rationally. I will make you an idol of Korea, even if it means giving it my all. “You can believe it!”
“I don’t know why I would go to that length…”
“Because I want to!”
The problem was that I didn’t really want to do it.

Although the approval rating of the Cheon Myeong-guk government was solid, the opposition party’s attacks on the frame of the government as being no different from the league continued.
The goal is to capitalize on the antipathy and fear that citizens have toward the league, but perhaps if it goes awry once or twice, this frame will have a significant effect.
“You’re doing well, though. He’s so stable that it’s hard to believe he’s a political novice, and he’s bold when needed. “Sometimes I wonder if I raised a tiger.”
Former President Jeon Han-cheol, now a retired 9th-level politician, evaluated Cheon Myeong-guk this way.
“I had no idea that the gift application of simulation would be this great. “He will probably control even the slightest mistakes as much as possible and capture the two birds with one stone: what he wants and his approval rating.”
“You could look at it that way.”
“Anyway, thank you for finding the person who is now an old man in the back room.”
“As promised, I came to eat soybean paste stew. “Your skills are still the same.”
“I’m not sure because I eat it every day. They said it was hard these days and told me to go out and eat. haha.”
The former president was also an ordinary person who was mistreated by his wife when he retired.
They say it’s a craving that can’t be avoided unless you go out to eat or prepare something yourself.
In fact, my father also goes out and prepares meals.
“Okay, so I guess you didn’t just come to eat soybean paste stew. What did you come to see me for?”
“I came here because I was worried about my future career and wanted to get advice.”
“Are you asking me for advice?”
“To be exact, it’s about listening to opinions.”
“Still, it’s quite surprising. “I never thought the day would come when I would be giving advice to superhuman Choi Jun-ho.”
Is my image like that?
That being said, I am the type of person who listens very carefully to what people around me say.
“Let’s talk over a cup of coffee.”
The President and I moved to the study. He handed me the cup of coffee he brought down there and asked me in a different mood than before.
“So which one is it? Tell me.”
“President, if you could become God, what would you do?”
