Park Jin Hyuk picked up a piece of kimchi and placed it on the instant rice, then put them both into his mouth.
"No, why bother with that?"
"How can you work if you only eat this every day? Can your body handle it? You should pay more attention to rest and not work so hard."
In the past, in the era of Park Jin Hyuk and Han Ji Yeon’s grandfather, many people got up at 5 o’clock to prepare for work.
Park Jin Hyuk once saw photos of that time in the history of DS Group. Every morning, the presidents of the subsidiaries came to his grandfather's house. His grandfather would discuss the day's work with them while eating breakfast, and then they would walk to work together at 6 o'clock on time, which took about an hour.
But that was an era without computers and the Internet. Now we have entered the information age, and the speed of business processing is no longer comparable. In theory, there is no need to go out early and come back late.
But Han Ji-yeon was surprised to find that Park Jin-hyuk was still working hard like the older generation. Nowadays, few children of chaebol families work like him.
Most people handle important business during the day and then go out to eat, drink and socialize with others.
In fact, Park Jin Hyuk seems to have entered his current role perfectly, but deep down he does not take it all for granted. Having once lived in the lower class of society, he cherishes and does not want to lose this hard-earned opportunity.
Maybe he himself didn't realize it.
Looking at Park Jin Hyuk, Han Ji Yeon inexplicably felt deep sympathy and pity.
Park Jin Hyuk glanced at her.
“I work this way because I have fun.”
"Having fun?"
"I used to think that becoming a leader in a chaebol was a matter of special abilities. But once I actually held that position, I discovered there were many people far superior to me. Leveraging my background, opportunities, and a certain level of vision, intelligence, and wisdom—all factors beyond one's control—I became a leader among these people, guiding them in their entrepreneurial endeavors. I thoroughly enjoyed and cherished this journey."
Han Ji-yeon looked at Park Jin-hyuk, seeming to understand what he said, but also seeming not to understand.
But there is one thing she is more clear about, that is, Park Jin Hyuk is different from most eldest sons of chaebol families.

The weather in Seoul at the end of March is still a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings.
In this early spring season, Park Ruien and Jiang Zhengyu's engagement ceremony was held in the courtyard of the Shinhan Hotel.
The wind kept blowing, mixed with bursts of coldness.
As soon as she got off the car, Han Ji-yeon felt cold and shivered.
"Today's weather is too bad. We shouldn't hold the event outdoors in this weather."
"I guess they didn't expect the weather to be so cold."
As he spoke, Park Jin Hyuk put a coat on Han Ji Yeon.
"Wouldn't it be more atmospheric outdoors? I guess that's what they thought."
Most of the female guests attending the ceremony were wearing formal dresses, but because of the weather, they had to put on a coat on the outside.
For today's engagement ceremony, a lot of colorful flowers have been newly planted in the hotel courtyard.
"It's really hard for them to grow so many flowers."
"yes."
Park Jin Hyuk saw Park Jun Wan, so he walked over quickly with Han Ji Yeon.
"You guys arrived pretty early."
"Of course I can't be late for my sister's engagement ceremony."
Park Jin Hyuk said.
"Congratulations."
"That's too polite."
In this situation, although there is nothing wrong with a son congratulating his father in this way, it does seem too distant.
Park Jin Hyuk then vaguely realized that he didn't seem to consider himself as Park Jun Wan's son in his heart.
Wu Ruiying stepped forward and said to Park Zhenhe with a smile:
"Come over here too, and join us in welcoming the guests."
Park Jin Hyuk and Han Ji Yeon walked over and stood beside their parents.
Not long ago, WEST Airlines successfully issued bonds.
Park Jin Hyuk expressed his concerns about WEST Air to some bank presidents in advance, after all, DS Communications provided guarantees for the bonds.
Perhaps his help worked, as the bonds were sold out quickly.
Wu Ruiying was very satisfied with this, so she and Park Jin Hyuk became closer.
Standing next to his parents, Park Jin Hyuk shook hands and greeted the guests from time to time, and Han Ji Yeon did the same.
Park Jin Hyuk said to her:
"If you're cold, come inside for a while."
"It's okay, I should be with you."
"You are not a member of the DS family yet..."
"I don't think so... Hello, welcome!"
Park Jin Hyuk turned his head and looked at Han Ji Yeon who was smiling.
"Congratulations, President Park! You've had so many happy events this year!"
"Yes, we will have a wedding for them in two or three months. I'm sorry, but I'll have to invite you to come then."
"No, no, the more happy events the better."
Park Jin Hyuk also welcomed the other person with a smile. He didn't know who the visitor was, he just remembered seeing him at Park Sang Hyuk's wedding ceremony.
After the greetings, the guests walked into the ceremony site.
"I heard that Sang Hyuk's shares were put into a trust?"
When there were no customers around, Park Junwan suddenly said this.
Park Jin Hyuk and Wu Ruiying were both stunned by what they said.
"It seems you already know."
Soon, Park Jin Hyuk regained his composure.
"You think you can hide it from me?"
"I knew you would know it sooner or later, but I didn't expect you to know it so soon."
Wu Ruiying's expression was very complicated.
"You're such an ignorant fellow, do you think you can do whatever you want just by relying on the small amount of shares you hold?"
"I didn't plan to do anything, so I didn't tell you in advance."
"Haha, that's nice of you to say, but don't forget, you're not my only son. I can kick you out right now."
Han Ji-yeon looked at Park Jin-hyuk in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Park Junwan would inadvertently say such harsh words in such an occasion.
Wu Ruiying remained silent. What she was thinking about was how to use the delicate relationship between father and son to gain the greatest benefits for herself and her children.
Park Jin Hyuk continued to smile and shake hands with the guests who came forward to greet him. After the guests left, he said to Park Jun Wan:
"Of course you can do that, but I believe you won't. Just like I am still standing by your side even though I feel wronged."
"You think I can't?"
Park Junwan turned his head towards him.
"This is just wishful thinking on your part, understand?"
"Maybe, but I just don't think you would do that."
"Why?"
"If you really were going to do that, you wouldn't have told me."
