Chapitre 33: Chapter 33
After leaving the classroom, Su Ming-Yu didn't go straight to Hanyang Community.
Instead, he walked around the campus quietly and aimlessly.
At that moment, a striking figure came into view.
A girl was sitting quietly by the lake, lost in thought.
When Su Ming-Yu passed by, she noticed him and instinctively made a move to stand up. However, he completely ignored her and walked right past her.
Jung-Suh, who was standing nearby, noticed the scene. He smiled playfully and looked at Yoon Min-Ji.
"Min-Ji, isn't that your high school classmate? I heard that this guy got drunk at the graduation ceremony and confessed to you like a lunatic..."
Yoon Min-Ji's expression changed slightly, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She frowned and asked, "Jung-Suh, where did you hear that?"
"This rumor has been around since he entered college! Everyone knows," Jung-Suh replied with a grin.
Yoon Min-Ji's frown deepened. "We're just friends. Don't listen to baseless rumors."
Jung-Suh laughed and nodded. "Of course! After all, you're the number one goddess in the university ranking. How could you have anything to do with a loser like him?"
Yoon Min-Ji didn't answer. Instead, her gaze lingered on Su Ming-Yu's retreating figure. She seemed distracted, almost wistful.
After all, this was someone who had been by her side for three years in high school.
But now it felt like she didn't know him at all.
It was like losing something she hadn't realized was important until it was gone.
However, none of this was Su Ming-Yu's fault.
Half a month ago, Su Ming-Yu had transmigrated to this world. As for the alleged drunken confession at the graduation ceremony, he had no memory of it.
In fact, Su Ming-Yu's transmigration was not only spiritual, but also physical, which meant that he hadn't inherited the memories of the original host.
To him, Yoon Min-Ji was a stranger, nothing more.

Su Ming-Yu reached into his pocket and pulled out a lollipop.
It was clear who was behind it - Han Nari.
He unwrapped the candy and popped it into his mouth.
As he walked, he began to think about his previous research on Goryeo's socio-economic trends.
The year 1995 was crucial.
A large influx of workers from the countryside into Seoul had not only driven up housing prices, but also caused wages for unskilled labor to plummet.
This wave of cheap labor led to widespread job competition and industrial stagnation.
As a result, many migrant workers, exhausted by the dual pressures of physical labor and low wages, sought solace in nightclubs. They worked overtime during the day and partied through the night, treating sleep as a luxury.
This lifestyle, while temporarily exhilarating, took a toll on their physical health.
It was during this time that gyms began to gain prominence.
Initially, gyms were seen as places to meet potential mates. Men and women frequented them with ulterior motives, seeking both fitness and companionship.
The personal training model wouldn't arrive in Korea until 1998, but it would revolutionize the industry.
By employing personal trainers who earned high salaries and commissions, gyms quickly became lucrative businesses.
Some trainers even went above and beyond, working late-night sessions in hotels to accommodate their clients.
For white-collar workers, gyms became a healthier alternative to nightclubs, offering physical fitness as well as social opportunities.
Thinking about it, Su Mingyu tapped his fingertips on the table.
If he wanted to start a gym business, he needed a clear plan.
The gym had to be big enough to attract attention. Short-term profits were secondary; the priority was to secure investors and go public.
His strategy was to use 'Newday' stock to quickly accumulate initial capital.
Once he had enough resources, he would expand aggressively and dominate the market.
His goal was clear: to establish himself and maximize profits within one year.
With his plan in mind, Su Ming-Yu decided to visit a gym in Guangjin District to gather more information.
