Intention

Choi Mishil frowned and nudged Lee Han discreetly.

Feeling the nudge, Lee Han chose to ignore it. He turned to Shin and introduced his wife, Choi Mishil, and his daughter, Han Soo-Yun, in Japanese. "Mr. Suzuki, this is my wife, Choi Mishil, and this is my daughter, Han Soo-Yun," he gestured towards them.

"Oh, nice to meet you, Mrs. Han, and Lady Han," Shin bowed slightly in a formal greeting. However, since Shin spoke Japanese, only Han Soo-Yun, Lee Han's daughter, could grasp the essence of Shin's words.

Upon hearing his boss's greetings, Lee Han smiled and remarked, "Well, Mr. Suzuki, my wife's surname is Choi, but I suppose Mrs. Han isn't bad either."

Shin nodded in response, stating, "I see... It seems like it's different here in Korea."

Lee Han, acknowledging this, then overheard his wife asking, "Who is this young man, husband? Isn't he your chauffeur?"

Curiosity also struck his daughter, Han Soo-Yun.

"He isn't a chauffeur! He is my boss, the owner of KiShin!" Lee Han hastily clarified in Korean.

Choi Mishil and Han Soo-Yun, initially curious, were shocked at the revelation.

"He is Shinro Suzuki!?" Han Soo-Yun couldn't help but exclaim.

Lee Han nodded, and witnessing their astonishment, Choi Mishil, who had mistaken Shin for a chauffeur, immediately bowed towards him, saying, "Anyong Haseyo!"

Han Soo-Yun followed suit.

Observing the exchange, Shin understood they were greeting him and reciprocated with a polite, "Anyong Haseyo."

Amazed at how the attitudes of the two women changed so quickly, Shin thought Lee Han must have informed them of his identity.

"Why didn't you say he was your boss immediately? If he understood Korean, do you know how embarrassed I would be?" Choi Mishil whispered to Lee Han, adding, "I'm already feeling embarrassed even though I know he doesn't understand me."

"Hahaha, don't worry. Even if my boss knew what you said, he'd forgive you," Lee Han reassured his wife. The happy reunion of the Lee Han family was somewhat restrained by Shin's presence, especially making Han Soo-Yun shy.

Despite Lee Han's assurance, Choi Mishil decided not to make Shin too uncomfortable. As they headed to the airport baggage claim area, with Shin following behind Lee Han and his family, Han Soo-Yun whispered to her father, "Dad, I don't know Japanese. Can you tell him that I loved his video games?"

Looking at his blushing daughter, Lee Han replied, "Why are you acting strange? I already told Mr. Suzuki while we traveled here."

Han Soo-Yun became more embarrassed upon hearing her father's words. Observing this, Choi Mishil said in a hushed voice to Han Soo-Yun, "Soo-Yun still doesn't have a boyfriend. If you want, you can introduce your daughter to your boss."

"Mom!" Han Soo-Yun felt increasingly embarrassed with her mother's comment.

Lee Han, hearing his wife's comment, felt a bit awkward as he glanced at Shin, who was curiously looking around the place.

"I already told you when I returned a few months ago, right? Mr. Suzuki is already married! He also has a child!" Lee Han clarified to his wife.

"Yeah, but what if their relationship isn't working? You can pave the way for your daughter—" Before Choi Mishil could continue, she was interrupted.

"Stop! Never talk that way. Never play with our daughter's future, and especially discussing such things about Mr. Suzuki, even in his presence? Don't do that again," Lee Han rebuked his wife with a serious expression. Then he added, "The purpose of Mr. Suzuki being here is for business; he's not here to play around."

"Sigh, alright. What a pity," Choi Mishil sighed.

"Stop it, Mom. I don't have feelings for Dad's boss; I just admired his video games a lot!" Han Soo-Yun explained.

"Enough about that. Let's talk about the video game I brought. It's the recent release from KiShin!" Lee Han changed the topic.

"Oh! What is it?" Han Soo-Yun's spirit also lifted hearing that.

"One of the cool video games I brought is called Monopoly! Trust me, this video game will not disappoint; it's perfect for family bonding!"

"Yay! Where's the game?"

"It's in my baggage; we'll pick it up at the baggage claim area."

"I can't wait!" Han Soo-Yun couldn't help but say.

"There's also a physical version of that game; it's a perfect game to play, especially during outings," Lee Han said with a smile.

As the family of three conversed, Shin listened in curiosity, though he didn't understand a thing they were saying.

After retrieving their baggage from the claim area, Shin and Lee Han proceeded to Han Soo-Yun's car.

Sitting in the back seat, Shin couldn't help but ponder SamStar's technologies at this time.

Though it was still behind, Shin knew that in certain technologies such as LCD technology, SamStar would be quite advanced in the future.

Even though Shin possesses future knowledge, it doesn't mean he had a complete understanding of LCD and other future technologies. If he did, the LCD research on the Gameboy Advance would have been completed instantly.

Beyond SamStar's LCD research, what Shin was truly interested in—the reason for accepting the invitation—was SamStar's Semiconductor technology.

Semiconductors held immense importance, extending their influence across various industries, including game consoles.

KiShin also delved into semiconductor research, focusing on CPU and GPU for the KS1, thanks to their collaboration with Rebolt Technology. However, the research was gradually slowing down. Shin recognized that without his insights into the future of video game development, Suzuki and Tora might have already developed a 64-bit console through their semiconductor research.

Fortunately, Tora and Suzuki weren't overly fixated on the video game sector. Instead, they unwittingly fell into Shin's trap, relying on his software for video game production.

Currently, SamStar, although lagging behind some Japanese companies in semiconductor technologies, is gradually gaining ground in semiconductor research, particularly in DRAM.
