Only I Have Two Towers Episode 070

To China

Generosos Headquarters.

Jin Seo-hee buried herself in her chair.

A marathon meeting that lasted a whopping 9 hours.

“Haa.”

After it ends, all the energy really drains from my entire body.

Even though we do this every week, why can’t I get used to it?

And the characteristic of such meetings is that no conclusion is reached.

‘Why are we so bad at business?’

Generosos is a mid-to-low price brand subsidiary of Genex.

They receive steel from Genex and manufacture and sell equipment for beginner to intermediate level Players, but their performance was so poor that Jin Seo-hee was newly appointed as CEO this time.

– I’ll save it.

I had boldly declared to Chairman Jin Tae-gon.

But despite holding meeting after meeting, I couldn’t see an answer.

‘Ha, this is ridiculous.’

Only one or two items a day in this big shop.

I wondered if this was even a reasonable sales volume.

At this point, it seems like they’re not selling on purpose rather than being unable to sell.

‘Is it even right to sell this equipment here in the first place?’

She let out a sigh and ran her hand through her hair.

The places Generosos deals with are all department stores or famous shops located in good areas.

Good location means expensive land prices.

Perhaps because the land prices are absorbed into the products, the prices were high despite the name of being a mid-to-low price brand.

Moreover, these shop owners don’t even have the intention to properly sell the products.

The reason they accept Generosos products is largely because they don’t want to antagonize other luxury brand subsidiaries of Genex.

Her older sister Jin Seo-jeong, who was in the CEO position before Jin Seo-hee came.

Her stubborn insistence on only dealing with famous stores worthy of the Genex name had created this deformed result.

‘Where should I go look?’

Last time, she had tried making contact with Dongdaemun where many beginner Players frequent, but the results weren’t good.

Some local faction-level organization had engaged in a power struggle with the negotiation team and presented unreasonable conditions.

Since Jin Seo-hee wasn’t one to just let this slide, she had coolly kicked over the negotiation table.

‘Just one would be enough.’

She doesn’t need many.

Just one shop that’s really amazingly good at business would open up breathing room.

Such talent, won’t it just drop from somewhere?

“Should I even believe in religion?”

She shrugged her shoulders and took out her phone from the drawer.

Since it was her first check in 9 hours, the accumulated messages and notifications were tremendous.

# Hello, VIP customer Jin Seo-hee. Thank you for using our Pelid today as well.

Since Jin Seo-hee had never been there, it seems Jinhyeok had used the voucher.

A faint smile appeared.

Since he was using what she gave him so well, she felt something like a sense of reward.

‘What did he buy?’

Before accessing the department store app.

A payment notification message from the card company caught her eye.

“Huh?”

Her buried body automatically sat up.

It was a number that far exceeded expectations.

‘How many zeros are there?’

Jin Seo-hee frowned and counted them one by one.

Nine.

5 billion.

Since the voucher value was 5 billion, it meant he bought 10 billion worth of equipment.

“Wow.”

Jin Seo-hee let out a hollow laugh.

This person’s spending habits are more generous than I thought.

‘I’ve never even bought anything worth 10 billion myself.’

Since she was the one who told him to choose freely, she couldn’t ask for a refund.

She decided to think of it as paying for her life.

Along with a resolution to set a limit if she gives him another voucher next time.

‘Anyway.’

She entered KakaoTalk.

Jin Seo-hee slightly gritted her teeth.

‘He still hasn’t read it.’

She tilted her head at the number that hadn’t disappeared.

Before being the youngest granddaughter of Genex, she’s a famous influencer.

No matter who she sends messages to, the numbers usually disappear right away unless there are really unavoidable circumstances.

This was such an unfamiliar situation.

“Tsk.”

She didn’t like the fact that she had gritted her teeth over just one KakaoTalk message.

Jin Seo-hee pushed away her phone and leaned back in her chair.

‘Given his personality, he doesn’t seem like he would ignore KakaoTalk on purpose.’

Then it means he’s so busy he can’t even check KakaoTalk.

Where on earth is he and what is he doing?

9 PM.

“Wow.”

Jinhyeok exclaimed in admiration.

22-year-old Yoo Jin-hyeok, first entry to Incheon Airport complete.

“This is nice.”

He walked slowly and leisurely admired the airport scenery.

He had only seen it in dramas, so coming to Incheon Airport in person was a first, and everything was new.

‘People travel a lot.’

It wasn’t for nothing that passport issuance was slow.

The airport interior was full of people coming and going despite it being evening.

“Boss. Is there a seat for me too?”

“Yeah, on my lap. But you have to stay still.”

“Momo asked earlier too. If there was a seat for her.”

“There’s no seat for Momo.”

Seira and Momo had said they wanted to try riding an airplane.

He had made up his mind to even pay for business class for both of them, but failed because there were no remaining seats.

“Kancheo, what are the kids doing?”

“Seira is swinging her wooden sword. Dark and Momo are feeding Ellia pig’s feet.”

“Kancheo doesn’t need to eat… you already ate everything.”

Kancheo’s lips were shiny.

Seeing that there was also red broth on him, it seems he had thoroughly eaten even makguksu.

He walked to the counter for check-in.

# Tower climbing absolutely prohibited inside the airport!

# Tower climbing absolutely prohibited inside aircraft!

‘Oh no.’

Total flight time of 8 hours including layovers.

It was such a long time that I wanted to climb the Tower in between.

Deeply regrettable.

“Please check me in.”

I handed over my passport with a trembling heart.

Before coming, I had searched how to take a plane and simulated it hundreds of times.

Still, being nervous for the first time was unavoidable.

“Yes, Mr. Yoo Jin-hyeok. You’ve reserved business class. I’ll help you with ticketing.”

While waiting, I heard murmuring sounds from behind.

“Wow… isn’t that Xiao Chen?”

“Really? Why is a Chinese ranker at Incheon Airport?”

“I don’t know. Let’s go see. At least take a picture.”

I turned around.

He was such a famous person that I had heard of him.

A high-level ranker currently trying the 100th floor.

They said he was counted among the top even in that vast continent.

‘They said he was incredibly scary.’

Xiao Chen, who appeared frequently on Tower sites due to his fame.

To pick a few representative descriptions.

A martial artist who never smiles.

A scary-looking grandfather.

Someone with a twisted personality who throws punches first when displeased.

A might-makes-right advocate who doesn’t even treat the weak as human, etc.

They were all descriptions that made him seem difficult to befriend.

“Mr. Xiao Chen! Please look this way just once!”

“Please give us just one autograph!”

“What is the purpose of your visit to Korea this time? Is this something discussed between nations?”

Countless questions poured out, but Xiao Chen didn’t answer.

I wondered if he could even hear them with those huge headphones on.

‘Being famous really isn’t easy.’

I had often felt this watching Jin Seo-hee and Cheon Se-yeon.

Wherever they went, attention focused on them, and they couldn’t rest comfortably with people trying to talk to them.

Probably Xiao Chen was so tired of that kind of thing that he wore those headphones… Huh?

As soon as I thought that, Xiao Chen took off his headphones and stopped walking.

Then he looked around at the reporters and people and opened his mouth.

“Stop being annoying and get lost.”

‘What?’

A heavy silence fell among the gathered people.

It would have been nice if it had been delivered through an interpreter.

Unfortunately, since the Tower’s appearance, it became possible to understand any language spoken.

Xiao Chen casually put his headphones back on and started walking again.

His bodyguards surrounded him even more tightly and pushed people away.

Though they were insulted, people didn’t grumble or resist.

This was Xiao Chen, who was trying the 100th floor.

An existence whose synchronization rate was immeasurably high.

Given his temperament, their lives might be in danger if an unexpected situation occurred.

‘Scary.’

I fixed my gaze on the front counter, afraid to even make eye contact.

But why was it?

Xiao Chen’s presence, which seemed to be moving away, gradually got closer.

Before long, Xiao Chen began to appear in my peripheral vision.

‘What? Is he taking this flight?’

He must have plenty of money, so I wondered why he didn’t take a private jet.

Maybe he was a more stingy grandfather than expected.

“What? Did that person do something wrong?”

“Shouldn’t we report this to the Player Hunter Bureau? There’s going to be an accident at this rate.”

I heard murmuring sounds from around me.

Even the Korean Air staff who were issuing tickets at the counter stopped their hands and looked this way.

‘Why?’

Jinhyeok frowned.

For some reason, Xiao Chen had walked right up next to him and was staring at him with his hands behind his back.

I wondered if he had come to check in but got angry because Jinhyeok was there.

‘I can’t yield to you, Grandfather. I was here first.’

Besides, there was even a 3,271-year-old elf with me.

Even considering respect for elders and age hierarchy, this side should go first.

While I was trying to ignore him and looking straight ahead.

Tap tap.

Xiao Chen touched my shoulder with his finger.

Only then did Jinhyeok turn around.

The rumors were true.

He really looked scary.

Even gangsters from movies would have to step back a few paces from that face.

When Xiao Chen nodded, bodyguards surrounded us tightly.

When people’s view was blocked, Xiao Chen took off his headphones.

“Who are you? I’ve never seen your face before.”

“I’m just an ordinary citizen trying to go on my first overseas trip.”

“Ordinary?”

Xiao Chen burst into loud laughter as if something was very funny.

“If you were South Korea’s standard for ordinary, they wouldn’t be groveling to China like they are now.”

Xiao Chen had fought countless strong opponents since childhood.

After awakening, he had fought countless ridiculously strong monsters up to the 100th floor.

That’s why he could tell at a glance.

That the human before him was not ordinary.

Moreover, with such power, his face hadn’t been known until now – how could this not be interesting?

“I’m Xiao Chen from China. What’s your name?”

“Yoo Jin-hyeok.”

A brief silence flowed.

His secretary shook his head while looking at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen, wearing an amused expression, checked the destination on the counter.

“Going to Shanghai?”

“My final destination is Lijiang. I’m planning to transfer in Shanghai.”

Xiao Chen flicked his finger.

“Contact the captain. Tell him we’re going to Lijiang. If it’s okay with you, take my private jet. I’ll take you to Lijiang. It’ll be much faster. And much more comfortable.”

“Should I?”

“What?”

It was Xiao Chen who suggested taking his plane.

Yet I reflexively asked back.

In cases like this, one would normally wonder what the other person’s ulterior motive was, but to accept so readily.

Xiao Chen, who had been staring at Jinhyeok, raised the corners of his mouth.

‘Does it mean he doesn’t care what happens?’

“Follow me. I’ll handle the departure procedures myself.”

Jinhyeok followed behind Xiao Chen with a smile.

This was their first meeting, yet he was offering to take them not only to Jeon Yong-gi but all the way to Lijiang.

Maybe he’s a better grandfather than expected?
