5. From a prince to a frog

-Bangggg-

A loud bang released when a wide palm of an old man slapped the table hard enough for his son to hiccup.

〃What've you done, CHA HAKYEON!?〃 The thunderous voice of a former president echoed the whole study.

Hakyeon sat still with his eyes focused on the table corner. He counted one to five and yeah the rap began.

〃You really wanna see me die this fast? Oh my, what did I owe you last life?〃 Rubbing his chest, Mr. Cha fell back on the armchair. He glared that kickable son of him who just acted normal as if nothing happened. As if he didn't see the dropped stocks. As if he wasn't disappointed the board directors. And the current news was.. Mr. Cha rubbed his temples in dizziness when the photos were so vivid in his memory.

〃You were late yesterday and when I told you to apologize the board directors. You just splashed them the coffee? Oh my god! You're crashing my face in a dust mister Son!! How can I? How came I reconsider your behaviour? I don't have a pride to meet your mother.〃

〃It was an accident, father. One of the board directors stumbled me. That grey head was damn cunning!〃 N hissed, still getting mad of that belly bald man. When he offered one of the old men coffee, he felt someone's leg popped up and blocked his way. Just he didn't agree with their project in Jejudo island, they stabbed him at the back like this? Damn, these seniors! They were exploiting the hotel's profit and he would pull their masks out one day! Wanna take benefits of his family's business, huh?

〃Yahh!! CHA HAKYEON! Didn't I send you to school to be well-mannered? And why are you being rude here? With the elders? I really can't stand you!!〃

〃Just sit, father. They aren't faithful employees. They make profit behind our backs.〃

〃And you think fire them is a good solution? Oh my!! Why're you this immature? Use your brain, Hakyeon. Work it out. If you don't even know how to interact with people, how can you use them to work for us? People are different. Not one way can work with everyone. If you can't read their plan and block them with your own techniques, how can you deal with the disagreement? The attack your employees build up?〃

〃.........〃

〃You're now a leader, Hakyeon! A captain who is responsible for a ship. Who knows the direction and holds the wheel. Everyone's life is in your hand. If you don't understand people and their need. Game is over. Make use of the leadership skills you have learned and applied with them. There are many styles and approaches. Why can't you, ahhー〃 Mr. Cha cuddled his head helplessly when his decision this time met failure.

I should have made you start with a bottom position so you will spend much time with every type of person. You need more experiences and lessons to be in this high stand. If not, you'll break a bone when fall down the mountain. Alright! from now on, you don't need to wake up late and sit relaxingly in the office. I'll give you lesson myself! I can't stand, seeing my blood, tear, and sweat hotel comes to an end in your generation. My bad, for letting you live this happy and easy. And now what? You know nothing about life and hard work.

〃Come to think of it, I'll keep your position and inheritance from now on.〃

〃Excuse me, what did you mean, father?〃 N stood up and walked to his father who escaped to stand by the window.

〃I disown you from the list.〃

〃PARDON!??〃 N startled with this news. He quick stood face-to-face with his king-like father.

〃Are you kidding me? I just did some mistakes and you single me out? No one is perfect, everyone makes mistake. Have you heard this, father?〃

〃And I am correcting my mistake. Pack your stuff tonight and you can leave tomorrow. I'll send Seo Jun to fix your credit cards and other valuable possession, including your BMW. You can work in our hotel, as a chauffeur since it's a needed position in our job announcement currently.〃
