Real Man-Chapter 753

“Don’t mention it. I got much more from you. By the way, is this your girlfriend?”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Ellis Jeong.”

“Wow, you two look so good together. I’m Maria Carlos, Steve’s friend.”

Maria Carlos smiled and Andrea Gurski greeted her politely.

“It’s been a long time since I saw the Spanish princess.”

“Nice to see you, Andrea. Thanks to you, a splendid building was built near the royal palace.”

“What? Princess?”

Jeong Da-hye’s mouth opened as she heard their conversation.

This was unbelievable.

Yoo-hyun didn’t know what to say.

Before he could explain, the VVIPs who recognized Andrea Gurski and Maria Carlos flocked to them.

Meanwhile, there was a man who looked at them with disdain.

‘He’s definitely not qualified to be a VVIP…’

He asked a channel employee he knew and found out that the Asian man in front of him was a Hansung Electronics employee who had collaborated with Lora Parker and made a connection.

In other words, he was just a common office worker.

He didn’t think he was worth managing his network.

But then, the world-famous architect Andrea Gurski and the Spanish princess Maria Carlos appeared one after another.

And then, the clueless VVIPs mistook him for someone important and crowded around him.

The man remained calm even in front of this absurd situation.

‘It’s just a business relationship.’

He listened carefully and it seemed like they had met by chance while working for their company.

It meant he was not a level that the fashion industry would care about.

But his confidence was shaken when Lora Parker showed up.

She shook hands with the Asian man with her bare hands.

The more shocking news came from the mouth of the design world’s prodigy, Alexander Lima, who was praised by Lora Parker.

-Thanks to Steve, who chose my design, I gained a lot of confidence. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Steve.

There was nothing more to say.

Clack clack.

“Steve! I’m Perez Vago. Can we have a chat for a moment?”

Perez Vago, the CEO of a famous fashion magazine, raised his hand among the buzzing people.

When they finished the invitation and returned to the hotel, it was dark.

Thud.

Yoo-hyun slumped on the sofa as if he was exhausted, and Jeong Da-hye teased him.

“Can you show such a weak side as the star of the VVIP party?”

“Even you, Da-hye?”

“Why did you lie to me? You said you had a lot of great connections.”

“I never imagined that Andrea and Maria would show up there.”

He repeated the same excuse he had made several times.

Jeong Da-hye ignored his words and picked up the cards on the table.

Swoosh.

Famous CEOs, influential politicians, and more.

The phone numbers of the people who were respected in the industry were all in there.

She muttered as she looked at the glittering cards.

“By the way, how much would these connections be worth if converted to money?”

“Money?”

“Yes. My former boss would have invested a lot of money to make these connections. Of course, he wouldn’t have gotten them anyway.”

“You can’t buy them with money.”

“You got these amazing connections, Yoo-hyun. And it only took you a few hours.”

Jeong Da-hye’s eyes sparkled as if she was back to work.

Yoo-hyun put down the cards she was holding and said.

“I know what you mean, but that doesn’t mean we’ll ruin our trip.”

“Why? It would be nice to go to the noble party, do some interviews, and strengthen your network.”

“I’ve had enough of that once. The fashion industry interview was nonsense.”

“But it’s better to pay attention to your network from now on.”

“You’re my priority, Da-hye. This is a trip for just the two of us.”

“Well, it’s nice to hear that at least.”

The two smiled as they looked into each other’s eyes.

That’s how their schedule in France ended.

They had bought and received a lot of things in France, so they sent their luggage to Korea.

Their bags were much lighter thanks to getting rid of the unnecessary stuff.

They decided to travel by train.

As soon as they sat down, the With messenger window flashed.

-A1 Workbot: Mr. Jeong Min-gyo, the representative, has a security-related consultation with Hansung.

Hansung?

Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes at the unexpected name.

Jeong Da-hye’s father, Jeong Min-gyo, had just become the representative of the security company A1.

The company was small, having just won a security service contract for an apartment.

He couldn’t think of anything to discuss with Hansung.

‘I said I wouldn’t touch anything about the operation, so it’s awkward to ask.’

Yoo-hyun was worried as he fiddled with his phone.

Thud.

Jeong Da-hye, who sat next to him, asked.

“Is there something going on in Korea?”

“No. What could be going on?”

“Why? You said Jae-hee got a boyfriend.”

“He’s not even verified yet, what do you mean boyfriend?”

“Wow, you’re so conservative when it comes to this.”

She covered her mouth and giggled, then took out a printed paper.

Like when she came to France, she had prepared a lot by analyzing all kinds of reviews.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

As she checked the schedule diligently, Yoo-hyun asked her.

“Where are we going next?”

“Switzerland. First, we’ll go to the vineyards in the west of Lavaux and drink some wine, then we’ll go trekking and play in the water at Lake Geneva…”

She already had a plan.

Yoo-hyun was willing to accommodate whatever she wanted.

Switzerland, Czech Republic, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and more.

They visited many places, even some that were too far for a day trip.

They booked their accommodation through Airbnb, and searched various sites to apply for activities.

For each country, Jeong Da-hye diligently looked for reviews to find the best restaurants.

Her phone browser was full of all kinds of sites.

It was a lot of hassle, but they also made a lot of memories.

They didn’t just travel freely.

In Germany, they met Andrea Gurski, and stayed at his luxurious mansion.

In Spain, they stopped by the royal palace and had a meal with Maria Carlos, then headed to the beach in Barcelona.

That was all Jeong Da-hye knew about the itinerary.

Yoo-hyun prepared a card for the last part of their European trip.

Jeong Da-hye blinked her eyes when she saw the yacht.

“Is this the yacht we’re going to ride?”

“Yes. I wanted to spend the last time with just the two of us.”

“…”

He held her hand and led her inside.

“Shall we go then?”

“Huh? Yes.”

The staff who was in charge of sailing saluted, and Jeong Da-hye nervously got on the yacht.

She seemed to forget her surprise as soon as she saw the sparkling sea.

Jeong Da-hye shouted as she felt the cool sea breeze.

“Wow! This is great!”

Yoo-hyun also felt good.

He sat on the sofa and poured wine into her empty glass.

He asked her with a smile.

“What do you remember the most from this trip?”

“I think it will be this moment tomorrow. If I go back to a little earlier, it would be the royal palace.”

“I see. It was my first time at the royal palace too.”

“It was my first time for everything on this trip. Especially the brick castle that Andrea made.”

“Right. It was amazing.”

Yoo-hyun felt the awe of Andrea Gurski, the world-renowned architect, in Germany.

He was like a neighborhood uncle when he played with bricks with his father, but his artistic works were enough to make his mouth drop.

Jeong Da-hye continued.

“I think you’re amazing, Yoo-hyun, for having connections with such people.”

“Why are you flattering me again?”

“Just. I wonder why such a great person was afraid of something.”

“It was very windy when we went skydiving in Switzerland.”

Yoo-hyun made an excuse, and Jeong Da-hye waved her hand with a smile.

“No. Not that. When I told you to be the protagonist and try working with me.”

“Oh, that?”

“You had something you wanted to avoid, right?”

“…”

“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. It’s just my own thought.”

The sea breeze blew.

Or was it because of the fragrant wine?

Yoo-hyun wanted to tell her a little more.

“Actually, I had a bad dream before.”

“What kind of dream was it?”

“It was a dream where I lost everything around me while running forward alone. Even the person I love.”

“You must have had a lot on your mind.”

“Yes. The dream was so vivid that I still feel a pain in my chest.”

Jeong Da-hye, who was lost in thought, looked at him.

“You care so much about the people around you, that’s why you had that dream.”

“Do you think so?”

“Yes. But I’m glad.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s just a dream, and it won’t happen in reality.”

He felt like he could bury his painful past as a dream.

Because she was with him like this.

“That’s right. This is reality.”

“In that sense, cheers?”

“Sure.”

The two smiled as they looked into each other’s eyes.

Time flew by on the yacht.

Before they knew it, the blue sea turned yellow.

Jeong Da-hye leaned on Yoo-hyun’s shoulder and looked at the horizon.

“What should we do in the future?”

“What do you want to do, Da-hye?”

“I told you. I want to do something that makes my heart beat.”

“Something cool…”

Yoo-hyun muttered, and Jeong Da-hye revealed her thoughts.

“Actually, when I booked the accommodation through Airbnb, I thought it was very cool.”

“Why?”

“They made the shared accommodation concept, which everyone said was impossible, a reality. Now you can find Airbnb anywhere in the world.”

“We have With, too.”

“With is good, too. But can With become a platform company that connects the whole world like Airbnb?”

“It won’t be easy.”

With was a good messenger, but it was hard to become the number one in the country.

Jeong Da-hye explained the reason.

“Once a platform company takes its place, it never breaks. I don’t know about the future, but I think companies like Facebook or Google will continue to thrive.”

“Right. They will get bigger and bigger.”

“So I’m worried. How can we make such a company?”

Jeong Da-hye’s concern was also related to the problem of the IT industry in Korea.

If they can’t get out of the country, they will eventually be eaten by the global companies.

It was the future that Yoo-hyun experienced, and the reality that he wanted to overcome.
