After experiencing a tragic car accident, Liu Zhengjie, whose ancestors were from China and who was now an ordinary Korean worker, woke up to find himself the eldest son of the powerful Korean chae...

Chapter 259 I’m afraid you can’t go to England

Han Ji-yeon looked at Park Jin-hyuk.

"Will there be any sequelae?"

"Don't worry, now that we've come to this point, our marriage won't change."

"I didn't expect that woman to say something like that."

In fact, everything that just happened was planned in advance by Park Jin Hyuk and Han Ji Yeon.

Park Jin Hyuk guessed that since the two wives from outside the family had been turned down by her last time at Qingyi Pavilion, she would definitely do something this time.

So they made preparations in advance.

Things turned out just as they expected. Lee Jung-sook attacked Park Jin-hyuk, but Han Ji-yeon got a great relief and put a damper on Lee Jung-sook's arrogance.

Han Ji-yeon smiled and said:

"I think you can become an actor."

"I've encountered this kind of thing many times before. It's a completely natural reaction. By the way, when are you planning to go to England?"

"I want to go there as soon as possible. Things seem to be getting a bit dicey in Europe lately."

"The epidemic is getting worse. You have to be more careful."

Han Ji-yeon asked Park Jin-hyuk:

"Do you want to come along?"

Before Park Jin Hyuk could answer, he saw Kim Jun Woo walking towards him quickly.

"Chairman, this is an emergency..."

"What's the matter?"

"The number of confirmed influenza cases in Europe has increased dramatically, and there are reports that the EU may close its internal borders."

"Issuing an internal lockdown?"

"Yes, stop all movement of people and goods."

"Is it that serious?"

The so-called internal blockade refers to the prohibition of the movement of people and goods between countries within the EU.

"The number of confirmed cases in France has exceeded 30,000."

Park Jin Hyuk turned to Han Ji Yeon and said:

"I'm afraid you can't go to England."

"Well, it seems so."

"What should we do then?"

"It's OK to have the wedding dress made in China, as long as the wedding can be held on time."

"Do you really think so?"

"Of course, I feel so happy today. I finally got rid of this bad feeling."

Jin Junyu looked at Han Jiyeon curiously, he knew what happened inside.

"Chairman, there is something else I need to report to you..."

Park Jin Hyuk turned to look at Kim Jun Woo.

"The president summoned the heads of relevant departments to the Blue House presidential residence."

"This late at night?"

"Yes, the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention will release a special announcement later. This was conveyed by Minister Zheng of the Ministry of Health and Welfare."

As he spoke, Kim Jun-woo handed a note to Park Jin-hyuk.

Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other countries have confirmed that the death toll from the mutated Paris flu has exceeded 10,000.

Park Jin Hyuk couldn't help but gasp.

Because this is the official death toll confirmed after the virus mutation was discovered, the previous death toll is believed to be several times higher.

Based on this calculation, the number of patients in South America has reached hundreds of thousands.

"The number of patients announced by the United States is 100,000, and some states are preparing to take measures to suspend work and school."

If the situation in the United States worsens, it will cause bigger problems than in the European Union.

“What is the attitude of the U.S. government?”

"There is no relevant information yet. Currently, only Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, which border Mexico, plan to take such measures."

“What about the number of patients in our country?”

Park Jin Hyuk said as he walked towards the elevator, he seemed to have forgotten what had just happened.

“Nearly 5,000.”

"It's increasing so quickly?"

"We can now test up to 4,000 people a day... Therefore, the CDC believes the actual number of infected people is even higher than this."

"If that's the case, won't we also have to stop work and classes?"

"That's very likely."

Park Jin Hyuk stopped and said:

"Ask Kim Bong-joo to come to my office."

"Is it General Manager Kim Bong-joo, who is in charge of distribution?"

"Yes, tell him to come right away. I have something to discuss with him."

Then he turned to look at Han Ji-yeon and said:

"Jiyeon, I'm sorry, I have to go back to the company."

"Returning to the company at this time?"

Park Jin Hyuk smiled.

"If you see a business opportunity, you have to seize it. Without further ado, I'm leaving now."

He nodded to Han Ji-yeon and strode towards the main entrance of the hotel.

Park Jin Hyuk walked and instructed Kim Jun Woo:

"Have General Manager Jin Zhengzhen, who is in charge of the data center project, and President Guo come here immediately."

*** *** ***

Kim Bong-joo, Kwak Seok-ki and Kim Jung-jin were called to Park Jin-hyuk's office.

"From now on, all schools will be closed. All businesses must continue to conduct virus testing. If an infected person is found, the office must be closed for three days. Gatherings of more than 100 people are also prohibited. Violators of these regulations will be severely punished according to law."

On TV, the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention is issuing the latest epidemic control measures to the whole country.

Park Jin Hyuk said to the people present:

"I'm here to discuss what measures our business should take in the current situation."

Jin Fengzhu was surprised.

“I heard the virus has mutated, but is it this serious?”

"The epidemic has begun to spread, so these strict measures have been taken."

“The impact on work and life is too great…”

Kim Bong-joo muttered to himself and glanced at Kwak Seok-ki and Kim Jung-jin.

They didn't seem surprised.

"Have you heard?"

"We already knew that."

Kim Bong-joo thought, it seems that these two people are Park Jin-hyuk's confidants.

Park Jin Hyuk smiled and said to him:

"Manager Jin, how are the service projects we're working on with overseas OTT companies going?"

Jin Fengzhu hesitated for a moment because this was not the business he was responsible for.

"I heard that everything is progressing as planned. Customers can now easily log in to the OTT page through mobile devices or IP TV and get fast and convenient services. The response has been positive."

“Well, we should expand this business further.”

"Please wait a moment, Chairman. I am in charge of the distribution department."

"From now on, your area of responsibility has changed to IPTV and mobile device services."

Jin Fengzhu didn't quite understand. DS Communications has been focusing on IPTV business recently, but it seems to have made no progress.

Now, suddenly throwing this tough bone to him, what is the purpose?

"Chairman, the domestic market capacity for this business is limited."

"I don't think so."

Park Jin Hyuk has seen examples of businesses experiencing explosive growth due to changes in lifestyle.

For example, it was once believed that the sales volume of mobile phones in the domestic market would be difficult to exceed 10 million units, but with the emergence of smartphones, sales volume quickly broke this limit curse, and until now, mobile phone sales have maintained a slight growth trend.
