chapter 17
< Chairman Cha’s will (1) >
Cha Tae-seong, the owner of Tae-seong, who is called a flame bulldozer.
He was strong enough for his age and had a strong body.
Bulky eyes, wide shoulders, and a voice like a train firebox.
He was a man who had power in his eyes and words.
Chairman Cha raised his hand.
“Coffee here! no Float two eggs in the ssanghwa tea and bring them out.”
I glanced down at the sweet cocoa.
After all, cocoa is not something to buy with money.
Ssanghwa tea, which is good for the body and good for the stomach, is better.
“Oh, my baby! How could he look so much like Seongjun!”
Chairman Cha hugged me and sat me on his lap.
“I can tell just by looking at your face. There is nothing more to follow. Try being a grandfather. I am your grandfather.”
To be honest, I was a little perplexed.
‘what? If you’re Chairman Cha, isn’t he the kind of person you’d be greeted with when you first meet him? I don’t know if I drive them out so that they can’t even see them.’
I looked back.
Secretary Kim nodded his head as if he was very happy, and my mother smiled a little troubled.
‘I don’t think there’s any need to pretend to be with someone who welcomes them with goodwill.’
I smiled and answered as politely as possible.
“Yes, Grandpa. nice to see you.”
“oh my. kind. What is my baby’s name?”
“I’m Cha Jeong-hyeok.”
“Yes, yes, it is Cha Jeong-hyeok. Tada, my grandfather bought a present like this for our Jeong-hyeok.”
Chairman Cha gestured at him, and a muscular giant, about 2 meters tall, approached.
He was wearing a suit and was carrying a large and small gift box.
“I didn’t know what my baby would like, so my grandfather prepared each type.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
“Your father is out of the country right now, so he couldn’t come with you. But we’ll see you sooner or later. I sent someone to go and bring it right away.”
“really? Thank you, Grandpa!”
I was so excited that I quickly greeted my belly button.
‘Good. He was attacking the Grim Reaper whenever he had a chance, and he was harassing his father’s dreams.’
that’s what a dream is
If you dismiss it as just a nightmare and ignore it, it becomes insignificant.
However, if Chairman Cha sends someone to exercise force, the story will be different.
“Then can I spend this Christmas with Dad?”
Is it too fast?
“Let’s try!”
“and! Grandpa is the best!”
I gave a thumbs up
Because I wanted to make sure that my father died in a plane crash on New Year’s Day.
Chairman Cha burst out laughing.
“this. Have you bought too many toys? Director Ko, put that on the table over there.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“Junghyuk, are you looking at presents over there? I think I need to talk to your mother for a minute. Secretary Kim helps me open the presents.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
I moved to the next table.
Of course, I left the cocoa that smells like coffee at this time.
Swoop.
I pushed the gift box in front of Secretary Kim.
“Did you hear what Grandpa said? Please keep this open.”
“…”
All my eyes and nerves were focused on the table over there.
Right.
As soon as I snapped my finger, the grim reaper appeared like smoke.
‘It’s wiretapping time.’
[Why?]
‘I don’t want to miss a word.’
[·······.]
The grim reaper raised his voice as if it were natural, without asking or questioning.
For some reason, his face was covered with tiredness.
* * *
Chairman Cha glanced at his watch.
“Since I received the report in advance, I don’t think there is a need to go into detail. It should be five minutes.”
It was said that he had only five minutes to give his mother.
“I’m not interested in the messy things that have happened in the past. It’s important that he’s my grandson, and what’s more important is how I’ll raise my baby in the future.”
Chairman Cha gulped down the hot Ssanghwa tea.
I trembled and drank another gulp of the ice water placed next to me.
President Cha asked while chewing on the ice.
“I heard he died from briquette gas poisoning and came back to life? Is that why you came to see me?”
“yes. As I said, I think the existence of children should be known. Jeong-hyeok has to enter elementary school soon, but he hasn’t been registered yet.”
“Come to think of it, I cut ties with my parents.”
Chairman Cha nodded happily.
“good. I’ll put it on the family register of the Cha family. We’ll take care of all the little things, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Thank you, Chairman.”
“by the way.”
Chairman Cha said.
“Are you trying to step into the Cha family by putting your child first?”
“no.”
Mother shook her head.
“I am well aware that Mr. Seongjun is engaged to the daughter of Wookwang Group.”
“okay. There are many things involved in business. A marriage between chaebol is broken when it is broken for business reasons, not for emotional reasons. Even if you have a child out of wedlock.”
“…”
“It’s a business involving 30 billion won. You understand, so you must have retreated gracefully. A child is a child, and marriage is marriage.”
If it is 30 billion won in this era, it is a lot of money equivalent to 1.5 trillion won in the 21st century.
Chairman Cha glanced at me.
“Shouldn’t I have received an envelope of money then? If that was the case, I wouldn’t have gone out empty-handed and suffered so much.”
Chairman Cha gestured to the giant who had brought a gift.
“As far as I know, I cannot send back the man who gave birth to my grandson empty-handed. Go Chief.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“For this child, give me a couple of apartments in Gangnam and a nice commercial building that I can rent and live on.”
“All right.”
“This should be enough for the price of giving birth to and raising my baby for seven years. You’ve been through a lot.”
Chairman Cha cut it right off.
“So don’t worry about the child anymore, and you’d better find your own way to live.”
“yes?”
“I mean remarriage. Oh, I didn’t even register my marriage, so it should be clean on paper. If you pack up real estate like this, you should be able to live happily in a decent family.”
“that······!”
“I can’t help it if I don’t back down at this point and have to hand over the 30 billion won engagement. Even your parents who cut off ties will be caught up in it. This is a warning.”
I can’t quite hear it.
I jumped up.
“Mom, I am sleepy!”
jumped out of the chair.
I stood next to my mother and raised my belly button.
“President Cha, it was nice to meet you today. And the toy is gone, so take it back.”
“President Cha?”
Chairman Cha quietly looks into my eyes.
“why? What do you not like?”
“I thought it was a gift to get along well in the future, but it was a begging meal to eat and leave. Do you think I am a beggar?”
I turned to Secretary Kim.
“Mister, that bribe. I was saying let’s get along well in the future, but now that things have turned out like this, I can’t help it. Just treat it as begging food.”
It was the sound of eating and falling.
“A child is a child, and if marriage is marriage, business should be just business. A business that sells children, I didn’t know that I wouldn’t have that much ability. Mom, let’s go.”
“I reserved a room at the Taesung Hotel. We removed the luggage from the inn and moved it, so let’s go upstairs.”
Chairman Cha chuckled.
“I can’t put my baby to sleep in a backwater like that. You would have been kicked out of the shack in Guro-dong and would have no home to return to right away.”
“Why don’t you have a house? Did we buy a house today?”
Chairman Cha looked back at Secretary Kim.
It must have been a day not reported.
“A house that can be bought for only 10 million won would be a shack after all.”
He doesn’t even hide the fact that he did a background investigation.
It wasn’t even worth replying to, so I dug the hole in my ear with my little finger.
“I will listen to the story you have told me. Please tell your father that the marriage will go well.”
He popped his earwax and grinned.
Chairman Cha looked down at me with a little strange eyes.
“Jeonghyuk-ah, you should think about it carefully. Are you really going to follow your mother like this?”
“Sure.”
“You don’t know yet because you’re young, but depending on which of your parents you hold the hand, your future will be very different. If you choose your father, you will be able to live happily without worrying about money for the rest of your life, but if you follow your mother, you will go through hardships.”
“What is it about?”
I lifted the hand I was holding with my mother.
“No matter how much money you have, will you throw away the mother who gave birth to you and raised you? Would you like to pick up and raise such a child?”
I snorted.
“I have no intention of looking forward to a person who can’t have a relationship like that, but the president has a good taste.”
I bowed my back.
“I will say goodbye properly. In business, make 30 billion won in in-laws with your comrades, eat well and live well for 1,000,000 years and live long.”
I walked away without looking back.
The mother kept looking back with a very perplexed expression on her face.
I grabbed my mother’s hand.
“Mom, if you bow like this, you will only get married. You didn’t get the money envelope? good job! Is that all going to be your weakness later on?”
Just look at the ledger of bribes from Wookwang Construction that I stole.
If you put a little effort into bidding for the subway construction and close your eyes, your pockets will be thick.
But that became a weakness that strangled me.
“Do not worry. Mom, I will make you feel better.”
I blinked one eye.
“Do you believe me?”
I’ll be able to do that.
If this side is empty-handed and undesirable, the problem becomes easy.
‘This is 180 billion, no, plus 2 billion!’
With this amount, even that stiff President Cha will be softened.
There’s nothing that gently greases a relationship like a bribe.
‘Then you think I would have innocently handed over the ledger? What do you believe in when you first met?’
That’s all you can give as a bribe.
I grinned as I touched the pages of the ledger I had kept in my pocket.
‘It’s a hoguna thing to give away all the cards you’re holding.’
It was when I left the Taesung Hotel holding my mother’s hand.
Woo Kwang Construction CEO led a group into the hotel lobby.
The faces he saw were familiar.
‘Bring the people related to subway line 2 to the Taeseong Hotel proudly? Is this almost a declaration of war? Seeing this, Chairman Cha would be quite upset.’
lucky.
I was planning to create and show this situation.
You can’t even use your hands to make things work out so smoothly!
‘Originally, a shrimp fight makes a lot of money.’
Enraged whales will attack like a hukou if it is a weapon that will kill their opponent.
In short, it is an opportunity to sell at a much higher price than usual!
So the hum must come out.
