Geomancy couple - Chapter 66
Chapter 66: Chapter 66
âOh my god! Not me! Iâm talking about your clients. Video calls with newlyweds. How about it? Doesnât it look attractive? Then, I think you can look into the houses of a lot of newlyweds. They can send pictures of their houses to you, and you can coach them in the ways of geomancy through video calls.â
âI think thatâs the most achievable way,â Hojoon agreed.
Jina resumed the meeting.
Arum explained to Jina and her colleagues the concept of her article.
âFirst of all, Iâll take note of the chiefâs geomancy advice with the home appliances of Sola Electronics in mind. Iâm talking about his general advice. And then let me have those newlyweds who purchase Sola Electronics products enjoy your free geomancy consultation on their houses by selecting them through lottery. I canât include much of the chiefâs advice in my article, but I think I can show lots of various houses in my article.â
âLottery?â Jina asked with a worried expression.
âWhat about those newlyweds living in the provincial areas?â
âVideo calls. I thought of the idea after I watched Chief doing a video call with his client.â
âChief? Is it possible?â
âOf course. The best way is for me to visit and feel it, but video call is not bad as a second best option. I offer video call service when my clients are in provincial cities or abroad.â
âActually, we receive lots of complaints from our customers all the time ovr how this kind of cultural event is concentrated only in Seoul. I think your video call service can solve the problem. The cultural event we have planned this time is your geomancy concert and geomancy cuisine class.â
âCook? Do I have to cook?â Hojoon asked.
âNo. If you select good geomancy food for newlyweds, weâre soliciting cook experts. You can just explain the geomancy energy force related to the given food or its effect, and so on.â
âThat sounds good. Why donât write an article about this, too?â
Todayâs meeting went well smoothly.
That was the miracle created by Hojoonâs video call with the student.
âJina, Iâve never heard about this âgeomancy concert.â Thatâs not what we agreed on in advance, isnât it?â Hojoon asked, tiling his head to one side.
âThis is not on our contract. Can you delete it?â
âHuh? I heard from Soran Cho, Chief of the strategic planning section, that she agreed with you on this. Let me double check. I think itâs already in the works.â
Though Jina said this cautiously, Hojoon already narrowed his eyes. It was only Jina and Arum who knew his relationship with Soran. As other staff could not figure out whatâs going on, Hojoon could not reject the planned feng shui concert at the drop of a hat.
âLet me call her directly,â he said.
Consequently, a large geomancy project was created.
On her way back home, Arum got into Hojoonâs car and headed for her company. Whenever she passed by the headquarters of Sola Electronics, she habitually looked up at its tall building.
âI guess this building is the tallest in this area, right?â
âMaybe.â
âLet me give you an example. When the owner of a famous restaurant moves to another location, its existing customers decline or the taste of the food served there usually changes. But Sola Electronics has done better business even after its relocation. Whyâs that? I heard that when they first moved here, Sola Electronics was on the brink of bankruptcy.â
âI guess several geomancy experts must have worked on it when a company as large as this one decided to move to another location.â
âI read its presidentâs interview story. The president is a devout Catholic believer. Does he believe in geomancy?â
âIt has nothing to do with religion. Do you believe in autumn?â
âWell, autumn just comes whether we believe it or not. Iâve never thought about it.â
âThatâs the same with geomancy. Itâs not superstition. Geomancy itself means wind and water. It has nothing to do with religion. Some company presidents that I know are picky about geomancy. They say they donât know it, but their intuitive power is excellent. I would say they have almost animal instincts.â
âAnimal instincts? Thatâs funny.â
âI didnât mention it to make you laugh at it. If you donât know about geomancy or if you donât know the exact location of the energy force of your house, you can notice it by looking at your pet dog, you cat, or how your baby plays. In particular, a dog is pretty good at finding a good spot of the energy force of your house. So, a dogâs place could be called myongdang.â
âA dogâs place is myongdang? Phaaaaaa!â Arum couldnât help but make a hearty laugh.
âBy the way, how did you handle the matter involving Konsu?â he asked unexpectedly.
âWellâŠ.â
She couldnât tell him that Konsu came to her house, completely drunk. She also couldnât tell him that they both were still in love with one another.
Instead, she just nodded.
Since she took care of that matter in her own way, it was settled at this point.
She didnât have to tell Hojoon that she and Konsu had agreed to date again.
âGood job,â he said, tapping her on the shoulder, before adding, âGood for you!â
Arum flinched at his touch.
âWell, if both of us meet again and feel happy, weâre happy then. I guess Yuyoung will find it hard to accept that.â
Hojoon could clearly read her mind.
âThatâs what Yuyoung has to endure, I think.â
Arum couldnât reply.
âWell, I had a good time, though. I donât think I can meet this type of woman in the future,â he said.
âThis type of woman?â
âYep. I mean a woman who couldnât forget her ex-boyfriend and ended up in the police station. A woman who sobbed and was embraced in another manâs arms.â
âOh my god! Just forget it now!â
âHow can you forget this kind of impressive woman?â
âWhy not? Itâs easy. Just close your eyes and forget her!â
âAre you begging me now?â
âYes, please.â
âSure, but Iâve got a condition.â
âOkay, let me accept your condition. What is it?â
Arum almost gave herself up. She was ready to accept his condition humbly.
âDate me.â
She couldnât believe her ears. What did he say?
âGood heavens! What if I say no?â
As the traffic light turned red, he turned around and looked at her.
âOr, you tell me you can date me.â
His eyes were glittering brightly.
That was an impossible question for her to answer.
She was put on the spot. On the other hand, she got excited.
Why?
Because she also wanted to date him.
The thing was how to save face.
She caused all kinds of disgraceful things to him, and laughed off his sincere confession several times.
She couldnât say the very one word, âSure.â
Her heart pounded loudly as if she was asking herself, âYou also want Chief, donât you?â
But she was asking another question clearly in her head, âWhat about Konsu?â
So, she couldnât reply.
âYou can reply anytime. Iâll wait.â
Obviously, he didnât want an immediate reply from her. When the traffic light changed, he drove the car again.
Arum changed the topic.
âSoran Cho, did she really get divorced?â
âMaybe,maybe not.â
âIf she really did get divorced, what would she do next?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âWasnât it that she got divorced because of you?â
âOh, thatâs why you couldnât reply to my question, right? Are you nervous because Iâve met Soran again?â
âNope. Iâve never thought about it. Just because of Konsu.â
âThat sucks. I feel like Iâm only your second option all the time.â
âChief, donât joke like that, please.â
âI can tell you that I donât have any relationship with her now. She may have some lingering attachment to me, but Iâm done with her.â
âOh, I see. I think I may have to end my relationship with Konsu,â she said before her brain could catch up with her mouth, and then quickly added, âI think Iâve said something strange before you.â
âDonât you know that your words reflect your thinking? Maybe you want to end your relationship with Konsu in your subconscious. Thatâs a good sign.â
âI feel like Iâm meeting him against my will. When I meet Konsu, I first feel a sense of obligation. I mean, such feelings as âI have to date him well this timeâ or âI shouldnât make any mistakes this time,â or âIâve got to endure it on my endâ, et cetera.â
As he had the same experience, Hojoon nodded.
âIf you feel forced to make special efforts and plan something when you date somebody, itâs not love, isnât it?â she said, curious about how he would respond.
âHave you ever made as much efforts to split with him?â
âPardon?â
âWhat I mean is whether you have ever made as much effort for separation as you did for love?â
She had never given a thought to it. She just giggled at herself.
âWho is going to make any effort to split up? Separation comes naturally even if you donât make any effort.â
