Chapter 225: Shopping 2

Junhyuk went to visit Sungtae and show him the contract.

“Here it is.”

“You have it already?”

“First, scan the entire thing and ask Ganesha if there are any legal loopholes.”

“Why didn’t you just ask Ganesha to do it?”

“We need lawyers, and I needed to make contact with them. I decided to use General Law Firm for GST affairs.”

“For now, right?”

“Correct. For now.”

Junhyuk sat on a chair calmly, and Sungtae turned a scanner on and put up each page of the contract to face it.

“Are there any problem areas?” Sungtae asked.

[No.]

Sungtae heard Ganesha’s answer and turned to look at Junhyuk.

“I’ve called my friends, and seven of them want to come here.”

“I thought you said you needed ten.”

“I could still call more of my friends, but I have to wait.”

Junhyuk thought for a while and asked, “Ganesha, I need GST business cards. Can you do them?”

[I have twelve designs for business cards.]

The twelve designs appeared on screen, and Junhyuk laughed when he saw them.

“Can you make one up?”

[The designs can be adapted. I made simple designs that leave long-lasting impressions.]

“Interesting.”

He picked out two designs and looked at Sungtae.

“Which one do you like?”

“I like the one on the left.”

“OK. Then, let’s get them printed. Send the files to my email.”

[I’ve done it.]

Junhyuk looked at Sungtae.

“And we need new cell phones that go with our new IDs. Let’s go out.”

“It’ll be better than having burner phones.”

Sungtae was getting ready to leave when Junhyuk asked, “Ganesha, can you scan the entire internet in our country?”

[If I scan such information, data usage will be high. If you want me to do it for certain keywords, I will look them up for you.]

“OK. Within South Korea, collect data on ‘Power, Dimensional Battlefield, and Return.’ If you don’t, it’ll probably deleted.”

[Power, Dimensional Battlefield, and Return data materials will be stored.]

“There is, perhaps, another supercomputer tracking that data, so be careful.”

[Don’t worry about things like that.]

Junhyuk looked at Sungtae and asked, “What happened to what I told you to look into?”

“The security companies?”

“Right.”

Sungtae was still getting dressed and said, “Ganesha, show him the companies we looked into.”

Junhyuk looked at the monitor. It was showing the businesses’ security experience and their sizes and assets. It also showed places the companies protected.

He looked at it and asked, “Can you change between companies faster?”

[That’s possible.]

The items on the screen moved in and out quickly, but Junhyuk saw everything and picked two companies out.

“Call these security companies, Bakdu and Taesan. Tell them to meet me for a business meeting at 3:00 p.m. today. If they can’t come, there won’t be any contracts. Tell them that too.”

[Understood.]

Ganesha made the calls, and Junhyuk heard that both companies’ CEOs would come at 3:00 p.m. to sign the contract.

“They must need the money.”

Both companies were in financial difficulty, so Junhyuk knew they wouldn’t refuse his offer. He looked at Sungtae who is getting ready.

“We’ll also get some furniture. We need a place for meetings.”

“Can’t we just sign the contracts outside?”

“We need a security company. We have to make them trust us.” Junhyuk walked out saying, “We have to hurry.”

He had his appointment and he also had to buy furniture. There wasn’t much time. Both of them went out and looked for a shopping mall. At the mall, Junhyuk found a furniture store.

A salesperson walked up to them.

“What kind of furniture are you looking for?”

“I am decorating an office, but I have a complicated requirement.”

“Requirement?”

“The furniture must be delivered by 2:00 p.m. today.”

The worker looked at his watch and smiled awkwardly, “We won’t be able to do it by then. Today is Sunday, and there aren’t any delivery drivers.”

Junhyuk tried to leave the store then, but the salesperson followed him in a hurry and said, “I’m sorry. Just look at the furniture. I’ll call up some delivery drivers.”

He sat down and opened a catalogue. Looking intently at the pictures in it, he said, “I will get this entire set in this picture. I’ll also need bookshelves, and five more sets.”

He turned the page.

“And this will go into the secretary’s office, so five sets would be enough.”

The salesman’s face hardened as Junhyuk chose everything. His order was already over $70,000-worth of furniture.

He looked at sofas.

“I’ll need a set in my office, and that one will do for the resting area.”

The man wrote everything he wanted down. It was already over $100,000. Then, Junhyuk looked at him.

“I’ll pay you only if you can deliver it by 2:00 p.m. today.”

“I’ll do it no matter what.”

Junhyuk got up and said, “I’ll transfer the money to your store’s account. I’ll do half as a deposit, but if you can’t deliver everything by 2:00 p.m., our agreement is null and void.”

The worker handed him the bank account number, and Junhyuk transferred the money.

As he walked out, Junhyuk said again, “By 2:00 p.m.”

“Don’t worry!”

The worker bowed, and Junhyuk went to a pottery store. The plates and tea cups were on sale, and Junhyuk picked out what he liked. He chose the highest quality tea cups and ordered them in sets, which didn’t take long.

He went around the mall and told everyone he ordered from that they needed to deliver everything by 2:00 p.m. It took an hour and a half for him to finish shopping.

When he looked at his watch, he said, “Let’s go to the cell phone store.”

“Yes.”

Sungtae had been surprised by the spending spree. He knew Junhyuk had a lot of money, but he had spent over $300,000 just shopping that day.

Junhyuk chose two cell phones from the store and opened up new lines. After that, they went to a restaurant. It was a conveyor belt sushi place. Both sat down and pulled the plates down from the belt.

Junhyuk was looking at his new cellphone when Sungtae said, “Let me see it.”

“Why?”

“I’ll download an app for you.”

“What app?”

“It’ll connect you directly to Ganesha. Using that app, you can talk directly to Ganesha.”

Junhyuk handed him the phone, and he downloaded the app.

“With Ganesha, work will get easier, so this will be useful. The app is also voice activated.”

Seeing that he could connect to Ganesha with the app, Junhyuk smiled.

“When did you make this?”

“Last night.”

Junhyuk used the app to give Ganesha a few orders and was satisfied.

“You did well.” He grabbed the eel sushi and added, “After we are done eating, let’s get some clothes.”

“Clothes?”

“That’s right. We need suits. We’ll get some pre-made ones today, but next time we’ll use a tailor.”

“Sure.”

Sungtae focused on eating. After escaping the people who came to kill him, he had been eating delivery food for the entire month. They both ate a lot that day. Junhyuk’s muscle mass was way larger than that of ordinary people, so he ate even more than Sungtae.

After lunch, they bought suits and went back to the office. Using Ganesha, Junhyuk checked out events around the world. His cell phone rang, and he picked it up.

The furniture had arrived, so he went downstairs to check on the delivery trucks. There were more than ten of them.

Junhyuk took one of the drivers aside and took him to the tenth floor. He showed the driver to his office.

“Place the furniture here. The bookshelves will go by the wall.” Then, Junhyuk pointed to place he would use as a secretary’s office and said, “And place the five sets of furniture here.”

Junhyuk pointed to the resting area and added, “And put the resting area furniture in there.”

“Sure.”

“Everything must be ready by 2:00 p.m.”

“We’ll do it right now.”

Junhyuk looked outside, through the window. The furnitures, decorations and other things were arriving.

“Don’t be late.”

Then, Junhyuk pulled up Ganesha’s app and said, “Look for a cleaning company. Tell them to clean the office starting at 2:00 p.m. for thirty minutes.”

[Understood.]

Junhyuk turned off his cell phone and, with his hand held behind him, he looked out through the window. Guro had a lot of new buildings because of many factories were moving into the region. There were even bigger buildings than his.

He looked around and said, “I’ll do it one by one.”

At first, his money had belonged to Doyeol, but now, his money had once belonged to Elise. Foreign money was coming into South Korea, so the more he spent, the more he was helping the economy.

“I’ll become more powerful.”

Philanthropy would come later. He wanted to gather power so that others wouldn’t move against him. After that, he planned to be philanthropic.

He was thinking this and that while they installed the furniture. Everything was in place, and a driver came in for his signature at 1:40 p.m. The driver was sweating like crazy, and Junhyuk handed him an envelope.

“Thank you. Be careful on your way.”

The driver hadn’t expected a tip from him and bowed in response.

“Thank you.”

He looked into the envelope and cheered. Meanwhile, Junhyuk looked around his office. It looked like a major corporation’s CEO’s office, and he was happy with the new decoration.

Then, Sungtae walked in, looked around and laughed hard.

“This is the power of money.”

“Correct. This is the power of money.”

They had started in the morning, and by 2:00 p.m., the office decorations were set. Sungtae shook his head. A cell phone rang, and Junhyuk picked it up.

The cleaning company had arrived, and he told them to come up to the tenth floor. The company’s CEO himself had come.

“Nice to meet you! Office cleaning, right?”

“If you finish by 2:30 p.m., I’ll give you $2,000.”

There were seven cleaning ladies. There amount would cover their wages and more, so the CEO affirmed, “We will do it by then!”

Junhyuk looked at Sungtae.

“Look after them.”

“Where are you going?”

“I have to go out for a minute.”

Junhyuk found an ATM nearby and withdrew some cash. He took out $5,000 and put $2,000 in an envelope. Then, he treated himself to a cup of coffee and went back to his office.

“I’ll need secretaries.”

He had a lot to do. He would quit Guardians so that he could focus on GST.

He arrived at 2:30 to see the office clean, so he paid them the $2,000 like he’d promised and sat down in his tidy office, looking at Sungtae.

“I’ll need coffee. Bring me six cups.”

“When are we getting secretaries?”

“I was thinking the same thing.”

“Can I do the interviews?”

Junhyuk waved his hands and said, “Get some coffee.”

Sungtae went out, and Junhyuk’s cell phone rang. He picked it up and heard a hard voice from the other end.

“I’m Bakdu’s CEO. Where should I go to?”

It wasn’t time yet, but he was already there, which gave Junhyuk a good impression of him.

“Come to the tenth floor.”

Junhyuk waited by the elevator. A moment later, the elevator stopped, and a well-trained man walked out from it. His hair was cut short, and Junhyuk liked his eyes. He had ten health, which meant that, for a human, he was impressive.

Junhyuk smiled and extended his hand.

“I’m GST’s CEO, Max.”

“I am Bakdu’s CEO, Daesan Kang.”
