“Hmm… … .”

Tarvin Marchesh, Chairman of the Elephant Group in India.

He, who had been wandering around Yeouido Park in Seoul for a while before, looked around and swallowed softly.

‘It was nice to create a travel atmosphere after a long time.’

A small sized carrier that is carried by hand.

Normally, I wouldn’t have to carry such a load myself.

Now he was alone.

The reason was simple.

Because I just wanted to walk around alone.

In fact, it was a business trip that I decided to take a rest, so I wanted to make it feel like I was traveling as if I were a student.

The entourage or staff ask them to come on a set day, and I arrive three days early and enjoy the trip before joining.

I know it’s not a very good plan, but… … .

Isn’t that a bad thing to do? There was no particular problem because I had already solved the backlog of work and schedule ahead of time.

Just in case you have a problem… … .

‘Where am I?’

that you can’t find your way.

Marchesi continued to wander around Yeouido with her suitcase in one hand and a map on her smartphone in the other.

Fortunately, the map on the smartphone has just been turned on.

Until then, I had walked blindly with the thought that ‘finding the road is part of the journey’. Then, thinking that my legs were hurting, I took out a map.

“This wayfinding app, is it right?”

However, perhaps because he has already lost his way, he is still wandering on the road even though he took out a map belatedly. Marchesi was examining the surrounding landmarks, blaming the poor application.

“Do you need any help?”

I was passing by a place that looked like a shopping mall.

Someone spoke in a soft voice. English with a very natural feel. When I turned my head in the direction the voice came from, there was a man standing there who looked good at first glance.

* * *

“You look like you’re lost on the road.”

“Yes. you’re right.”

It didn’t seem like he approached it with particularly bad intentions.

Marchesi replied in a voice filled with a bit of caution.

‘It’s really Marchesh himself.’

Meanwhile, the man who spoke to him, Secretary Choi, checked his face once again up close and hid his expression of surprise.

Still, ‘it must be you.’ I had the thought of doing it, but when I saw it right in front of me like this, it was just me who couldn’t even take it off.

“If it’s okay, I’d like to find a way.”

Secretary Choi decided not to tell the truth that he was an employee of the Daecheong Group. It was judged that it would be better to approach Marchesi that way.

If Marchesi wanted to be treated like an honored guest.

I would have contacted the group level immediately. If that was the case, the Daecheong Group would have prepared everything at the highest level, from meals to lodging.

No wonder.

It was nothing else, because it was an agenda involving hundreds of billions of project orders. Even if that wasn’t the case, if you are the president of Elephant Industries, you can always be treated as an honored guest.

However, the fact that he came to visit earlier than the scheduled visit date and was wandering the streets without contacting him in advance meant that he wanted something else.

I don’t know exactly what it is.

However, they would not expect to be treated as honored guests at the corporate level. Secretary Choi judged that, so he has not yet submitted a report to the company.

“Um… I am on my way to the Liner Hotel, but the road is a bit confusing.”

Marchesi slowly looked at Secretary Choi.

In any case, it was true that he was lost and in a difficult situation, so he cautiously announced his destination.

“… You mean the Liner Hotel?”

At those words, Secretary Choi showed signs of surprise.

If you are talking about the Liner Hotel, you know it.

Of course, I’ve never stayed there, but I’ve been to the liner building where the hotel is located a couple of times recently.

“Are you going to Cheonma Massage? … .”

“Oh, right!”

Marchesi responded by clapping his hands to Secretary Choi’s words.

Perhaps because the name he knew came out of the mouth of the stranger, a welcome look appeared on his face, and at the same time, any remaining vigilance slowly collapsed.

“How did you know? This is amazing!”

“haha… It’s a place where I have a bit of a relationship.”

Secretary Choi tried hard to hide his embarrassment at the appearance of a sudden change with the word Cheonma Massage. It was a word that I brought up just in case, but the reaction came out more than I thought.

‘What kind of drug is the director there?’

Cheonma massage. It is none other than the name of a massage parlor that President Jeong Tae-hyun, whom he assists, has shown a deep interest in lately.

I recently found out, but I don’t have many visits yet.

Considering that he made a reservation and went regularly even during his busy schedule, it was obvious that he would become a regular customer for a long time in the future.

‘But how did you come to know about it in India… … .’

Originally, rumors are said to spread farther and faster than expected.

No matter how much it is, it doesn’t make sense to cross the border and the sea and reach India. Even though this is a global era, it was difficult to understand.

After clearing his throat once, Secretary Choi carefully asked Marchesi.

“By the way, how did you find out about Cheonma Massage?”

“Ah, I’m the master there… No, because I have a personal relationship with the teacher. I’m going to stop by when I come to Korea. ha ha ha!”

What followed was even more shocking.

A personal acquaintance with an Indian conglomerate?

What kind of friendship do you mean?

‘Is it a giant beyond imagination… … ?’

Was it related to something else?

Since he was a person who had no contact with domestic companies, even collecting information was experiencing difficulties, so it was Secretary Choi who could not help but be embarrassed.

“Are there any problems?”

“ah… I also think it’s a bit strange.”

Marchesi speaks indirectly.

At those words, Secretary Choi belatedly came to his senses. Anyway, the important thing was the current situation, not guessing the relationship between Marchesi and Kang Tae-han.

“Anyway, that’s fine.”

Secretary Choi naturally spoke in a calm voice.

“I was just about to go to the sauna, too.”

“sauna… You mean?”

“Yes. There is a sauna at the top of the building, and you can take a bath while looking at the Han River and the cityscape.”

“Five… Is that really?!”

Marchesi who reacts as expected.

His eyes even looked bright when he asked Secretary Choi if he felt interested right away.

“Since it’s the same building, I’ll guide you along the way.”

“good! Hehe, you are so kind!”

Secretary Choi takes a step forward as if taking the lead.

The vigilance he had at first seemed to have disappeared, and Marchesi started walking along the sidewalk.

* * *

“… What do you think?”

“Well… It seemed to come with a little feeling at first.”

A man asking in a serious voice.

Another man, Bart Foster, seemed to ponder the question for a moment before opening his mouth in a rather sullen voice.

“ah… This is also a bit disappointing.”

“Isn’t it?”

This is the resting room of the Everton FC training center.

And what Bart Foster was sitting on was none other than a massage chair. A new item brought in this time with the suggestions and recommendations of some players.

“What can I say… Should I say it feels like my body is being pierced? There is no such decisive stimulus.”

However, the reaction of the players was lukewarm.

There was a feeling of being relieved of fatigue, but compared to the skill of a massage master, it was not at all similar.

“As expected, if I want to feel the touch of the master again, I have no choice but to go back to Korea.”

After Kang Tae-han came to England and gave me a massage.

All of the players experienced the efficacy directly, and soon naturally came to miss that touch.

As a player, I wanted to play in better condition, but I wanted to feel that intense stimulation, so-called coolness, that I felt flowing down my spine at the time.

However, in order to do that, you have no choice but to go to Korea.

However, the game schedule has been tight lately, and there are many schedules inside the club, so no one has been able to make time.

Still, I went to other massage shops in the UK to find my own alternative, and I bought a massage chair like this and tried it… … .

“You can’t satisfy me with this.”

Because the standards are too high, I can’t be satisfied.

It was a hard-earned item because there weren’t many places selling it in England, but it seemed like it would end up becoming a nuisance.

“… Is deep breathing the answer?”

The player who was with Bart Foster looked towards the corner of the break room.

“… … .”

“… … .”

There, I could see Ybor sitting on a yoga mat with his eyes closed, and other athletes sitting cross-legged next to him in the same posture.

They are sitting in an uncomfortable posture, whether it be a lotus position or something, but they say that they are comfortable with that. Like a day’s work, after training every day, I sit like that and spend about 30 minutes.

Originally, there were only three or four people following Ybor, but these days, there are more than ten people who are consistently doing it.

“under… Are there any massage chairs made by Master Kang?”

“If there is, you must definitely buy it.”

Bart nodded and added,

“I will buy ten.”

“… What are you buying ten for?”

“First, put one here for personal use, one at home, and one at the villa… I give my parents… Grandpa and Grandma too… … .”

Bart was counting his fingers and talking about the candidates one by one.

Then, as if he couldn’t think of anything else, he sat there blankly for a while before speaking in a low voice.

“Well, I’ll just buy five.”

“Five is too many.”

Bart shrugged his shoulders and burst out laughing at his colleague’s scolding.

“Anyway, it would be nice to have something like that.”

“I know… Would it be different if I bought something Korean?”

“It will be similar to this, well. Just because it’s Korean doesn’t mean Master Kang is developing it, right?”

It is said that when the body is far away, the mind is also far away.

There are some things that make you more desperate because you can’t meet them. Bart let out a sigh of regret as he thought of the Heavenly demon reservations scheduled for next month.

Although the goods they wanted were already out in the world.

Players still didn’t know that.

* * *

“Whoah, I heard that Korea is a culture that is strict about manners.”

Marchesi just entered the sauna.

Marchesi, who was looking inside, burst into an easy-going laugh with a face that seemed unexpected.

“You are more open than you think!”

The appearance of a sauna where everyone takes off coolly!

I’ve used large-scale bathing facilities like this a few times in other countries, but most of them were wrapped around a towel, so this was an unfamiliar sight.

“Well, this is the basic of our bathhouse culture. But, you seem to be accepting it casually?”

“Going to another country and enjoying a different culture! Isn’t that the beauty of travel? Of course, it’s a bit strange.”

At Secretary Choi’s words, Marchesi replied with a smile.

Marchesi took a shower first, taking care of herself, and then carefully soaked herself in the hot tub that Secretary Choi was in.

“Uhhhh… … .”

And the elasticity that comes out naturally.

Feeling good when soaking in warm water is a commonality of mankind beyond national borders and cultures. Marchesi had been bruising for a while with a tired expression.

Was it like that?

I suddenly thought of it and looked through the glass in front, and the scenery of the city opposite came into view along with the wide river.

‘… I like it too.’

Taking a bath or playing in the water in a high-rise building.

It itself was a content that Marchesi enjoyed a few times, but it still has a special taste every time I try it.

Besides, it feels a bit different because I’m traveling.

At the higher level of satisfaction than expected, Marchesi gave a satisfied smile.

After finishing the sauna like that.

“Would you like to eat this?”

Secretary Choi handed Marchesi a unique looking drink to Marchesi, who had just come out dressed.

“… What is this?”

“Let’s try it.”

A yellow drink in a lozenge-shaped plastic barrel.

You open the stopper on top and carefully take a sip.

“… Five?”

After a word of exclamation, he emptied the bottle in an instant.

“Huh!”

After taking a bath, it looks moist on the outside, but the water inside the body is drained and you feel thirsty on the inside.

A cold wave of sugar flowing in from such a situation.

At the same time as the heated body cools down, you can feel the sweet sugar seeping into your body.

“What drink is this?”

“It’s called banana milk, and it’s a drink I always drink when I go to the public bath since I was a child.”

“… okay. You must drink it.”

where can i buy this?

Thinking of wanting to drink another bottle, Marchesi looked around with his head raised while answering in a half-hearted way.

“… What is that?”

In the meantime, I couldn’t find a place that sold banana milk, but I did find something that looked interesting.

A large chair in the corner resembling the cockpit of a spaceship. The man sitting there was making an expression that looked tired, but his body was moving in the middle.

“ah… That is a massage chair.”

There was no way that Secretary Choi would not know that.

That massage chair was none other than ‘The Meister’, a new body care product that is causing a craze for massage chairs.

“It’s much more fancy than the massage chairs I know, right?”

“This is the latest model that is very popular in Korea… It seems that it is arranged separately so that you can experience it.

Secretary Choi, who read the sign posted next to the massage chair and grasped the situation, spoke calmly.

“Hmm.”

Marchesi has recently been very interested in massage. Just in time, the man who had been using the room before had left.

‘Well, I don’t think it’s very different from other massage chairs, but… … .’

Still, there’s nothing wrong with trying it once.

Marchesi slowly approached and sat down on the massage chair with a slightly interested look on her face.
