Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

＜as you like＞

Chairman Cha stroked the bribe book of Wookwang Construction with a satisfied expression.

Unlike the way he was angry just before, this time a warm wind blew from his eyes to the corners of his mouth.

“If it weren’t for our golden grandson, it would have been quite difficult. How did the Japanese guys even budge with tolerable money?”

“A weakness like this can keep you firmly on the leash. Currently, the mainland of Japan is Lockheed Gate, and there is an atmosphere that does not forgive the corruption of high-ranking officials.”

“good! Even those nasty bastards have no choice but to cooperate meekly this time!”

A whopping 180 billion won construction project was possible thanks to his 7-year-old grandson.

“If I win the construction of subway line 2 this time, Duduk will return my credit.”

“Chairman, that’s what I mean.”

Secretary Kim said it was time and opened her mouth.

“I would like you to return about 100 million won worth of Taesung’s stock in front of you, Master.”

“what?”

Chairman Cha blinked his eyes.

High-ranking public officials in Seoul suffered a terrifying experience from the morning.

Approval documents placed on the desk in the office.

It was because of a piece of paper that was slipped into it.

＜This is the bribery that Wookwang Construction gave you. Check it out.＞

Years, months, days, hours, where you received the bribe, how much you received, and how you received it.

It was meticulously documented.

＜Please give your strength to Taesung in the bidding for the construction of subway line 2. Unless, Your Excellency, you do not wish to receive this paper.＞

Wow!

A hundred if a hundred.

There was no one who did not crumple the paper at once as soon as he read it.

Right now, the government uses the eradication of corruption by high-ranking public officials as its banner.

Receiving secretly from behind can be easy, but if the paper on which the list of bribes is accurately recorded is delivered to your Excellency, you will never be able to avoid the knife.

“Damn it! Who are you! Someone sneaked into my office and…!”

A hundred if a hundred.

There was no one who didn’t swallow gossip.

The important thing now is not who delivered this paper.

I mean, I have no choice but to comply with the threats from the guy who delivered this paper.

I feel a cold sweat running down my back.

“hehehehe!”

A hundred if a hundred.

Looking around, there was no one who didn’t quickly shred the paper and incinerate it in a tin trash can.

Fortunately, if this is discovered by another guy, more people will use this as a pretext to threaten.

“Woo-gwang, you bastards!”

I made a separate ledger for bribes, right?

You mean it was taken away by someone else?

Thanks, I’m in a lot of trouble.

“Wait and see. I will repay this debt very well!”

Ministry of Construction, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Commerce and Industry and so on.

High-ranking officials chewed their anger toward Woo-gwang.

* * *

Meanwhile, something similar was happening in the National Assembly.

They also found the paper on their way to work.

However, in their case, it was a little different from high-ranking officials.

Instead of being inserted into payment documents and delivered,

“Ugh!”

A lawmaker tore off a piece of paper stuck to the wall of the corridor of the National Assembly building.

It was the bribery details of Wookwang Construction, written in my name.

“Like some f*cking bastard puts these things out there for everyone to see…!”

The most important thing for lawmakers was the attention of others.

It is because they are those who maintain power through elections.

For that reason, the papers and back remarks that high-ranking officials received were a little different.

＜Please give your strength to Taesung in the bidding for the construction of subway line 2. If you don’t want this paper to be released in newspapers and broadcasts.＞

The senator quickly looked around.

From early in the morning, cleaners work hard to sweep and polish the hallways and stairs.

The senator crumpled up the paper, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Even so, the teeth had to be destroyed immediately.

“Damn it!”

Some members are in the hallway of the National Assembly building, some are at the door of the parliamentary office, and some are on the steps of the front door.

Lawmakers who found the paper on display were busy rushing in and tearing it apart.From noble mtl dot com

Naturally, lawmakers burst out with the same swear words as high-ranking officials.

Anger at Woo-gwang for not keeping the bribery ledger properly turned to Woo-gwang.

* * *

The same thing happened in newspapers and broadcasting stations.

A reporter received a piece of paper in the midst of packing a sudden poop.

The reporter widened his eyes when he saw the paper slipped under the toilet cubicle.

“who is this!”

But you can’t run out without wiping your back!

You can’t open the bathroom door with your pants down and identify the culprit!

“Woo-gwang, these bastards are real!”

Of course, the back story of the paper sent to the journalists was also a little different.

＜Taesung will win the bid for the construction of subway line 2. We hope to empower you with favorable articles and news. Unless you want to be the target of suppression of the press. Of course, if you ignore this, it’s a bonus that ads will be cut off.＞

The reporter grinds it to pieces.

While tearing the paper into pieces and flushing it down the toilet.

smart.

In the morning, there was someone knocking on the door of the Taesung Hotel suite room.

Yoshimoto, a high-ranking official in the Japan Transportation Agency, got up from the couch and opened the door.

“Haven’t you ever ordered room service?”

“Excuse me. This is Kim Young-gul, Chief Secretary of Taesung Group.”

Secretary Kim was smiling coldly at the door.

Yoshimoto frowned.

“That is rude. I have no desire to talk to you.”

“Now that you’re being rude, I guess I’ll have to commit one more rude thing.”

Secretary Kim held a piece of paper in front of Yoshimoto’s eyes.

It was a piece of paper on which the bribe handed over from Wookwang Construction was meticulously written.

Yoshimoto snatched the paper from Secretary Kim’s hand.

“It is very unpleasant because the intentions are so bad! Are you threatening me now? Heung, you will never be able to meet me under the name Taeseong from now on…!”

“If this is delivered to the Prime Minister of Japan, yes, maybe you will never meet Taeseong. You will be purged.”

“…!”

“Yes, so the threat is correct.”

Yoshimoto’s eyes shook violently as if an earthquake had struck.

“These days, the Japanese government is upset because of Lockheed Gate, right?”

Lockheed Gate.

It is the biggest political funding scandal in Japanese history.

Lockheed has bribed high-ranking officials in many countries to sell planes.

In the end, heads of government and high-ranking officials in each country, including Japan, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Saudi Arabia, were purged at once, and the governments were replaced at once.

“Is the current Prime Minister of Japan arrested for taking bribes?”

“Mmm.”

“Of course, I heard that several high-ranking officials involved were also purged, and the LDP was humiliated by its failure to secure a majority.”

“Hey, why suddenly the Lockheed case…”

“Did you take it too? To a Lockheed lobbyist. Isn’t it?”

“…”

Yoshimoto couldn’t answer.

The paper only crumpled in his hand.

“If all high-ranking officials who took bribes were punished, the functioning of the Japanese government would be completely paralyzed, right? Thanks to that, your neck is barely attached.”

“…”

“I know for sure that you came over to Korea under the pretext of a Korea-Japan technology agreement after you had to take a deep breath.”

“…”

“What do you think would happen if the charges of bribery you received in Korea were added to this?”

“…”

“why? Since Taesung is a small company, do you think it will not be able to use its strength in the Japanese media? Unfortunately, Japanese broadcasting stations and newspapers seem to bite you for good.”

Secretary Kim smiled coldly.

“There was a lot of hate in the media. How is it? Are you still not willing to talk?”

“This, once inside……!”

“Then excuse me.”

Secretary Kim walked past Yoshimoto and into the suite.

Yoshimoto bit his lips so hard that the paper he snatched from him trembled at the same time.

dump.

Secretary Kim sat on the sofa in the living room where Yoshimoto had been sitting.

I stretched out my hand and offered Yoshimoto a seat.

“Sit. It is not too late to carry out the threat even after the negotiations have gone awry.”

“What do you want?”

“Sharing Technology of Civil Engineering Methods for Underground Facility in Japan.”

Secretary Kim leaned over and made direct eye contact.

Beyond the silver-rimmed spectacles, terrifyingly cold eyes flashed.

“Is it difficult?”

Yoshimoto let out a long sigh.

“What would be difficult? I came to Korea as a representative of Japan to solve the problem according to the Korea-Japan technology agreement.”

Yoshimoto held out his hand.

“We, the Japan Transportation Agency, would like to work with Taesung, not Woogwang. What do you mean by Taesung?”

“Gladly. I will accept your proposal.”

Secretary Kim held Yoshimoto’s hand.

The bed was soft and the duvet was cozy.

Thanks to sleeping with the oil boiler on, the room was filled with warmth.

I stretched out.

“Haaam.”

“My son, did you sleep well?”

“yes. What about mom?”

“Mom slept well, too. Will there be any surprises in the living room?”

“Go quickly!”

I went down the stairs holding my mother’s hand.

“Wow, it’s a Christmas tree!”

“Kid, are you awake?”

Mr. Cheol-gu was tidying up the Christmas tree, and Taesung Group bodyguards were moving wooden boxes.

It was a chest full of tree decorations.

“There just happened to be something like that in the basement. We also want to get into the Christmas mood right now.”

I thought there was a lot of this and that in the rich man’s basement.

I didn’t know there were even Christmas tree decorations.

“Junghyuk, would you like to decorate the tree with the men?”

“yes! What about mom?”

“Mom wants to go into the kitchen and help prepare breakfast.”

I don’t think that’s a good idea.

My mother is not good at cooking.

An ominous premonition that if left as it is, a terrible hybrid food would be born and dried.

Besides, there are so many people who have to share the food.

Burning with a sense of mission, I shook my mother’s skirt.

“My mom makes it too. I mean, I’ve never done anything like this before.”

Of course this is a lie.

I used to make a Christmas tree every year for young Kang-woo.

“Ah, yes. I see Mom didn’t pay attention to that.”

Oops.

For a poor household like us, a Christmas tree was a luxury.

I couldn’t afford to even have proper furniture in the side of the shack.

“Ah, we can make it together now. I don’t remember when I was young, so even if I said that, I wouldn’t know.”

I placed a large, shiny gold bead in my mother’s hand.From noble mtl dot com

No matter what, I like large chunks of gold.

The bold answer came from the kitchen.

“Yes, Jeong-hyeok’s mother. I’ll take care of breakfast preparation. Don’t upset the baby, help him quickly.”

It was the grandmother of the house.

“Thanks to Jeonghyeok’s mom, our Cheolgu came back safely. I’m so grateful for that, so I want to serve you a meal with care. Do you know how I feel?”

The landlord, the grandmother, winked at me with one eye.

My mother squatted down to eye level with me.

“Then shall we make a tree together with mom?”

“yes!”

happy.

what is this

It is a sweet time that can only be enjoyed after 45 years.

A corner of his chest tickled.

“uh? Snow!”

“You have big eyes.”

I was excited.

“Mom, it’s snowing outside! Hurry up and get out! Hurry up!”

“Yes, yes. okay. wait for a sec. Put on your coat and scarf first.”

“Quickly! They say that if you make a wish on the first snow, it will come true!”

I ran to the front door and put on my sneakers.

Before I knew it, the men from Taesung Group brought my mother’s coat and mine.

It was a new suit in a paper bag at Taesung Department Store.

“I’m begging my dad to come back and spend Christmas together!”

As long as Chairman Cha himself promised, I will definitely bring my father back even if I kidnap him.

I jumped out like a puppy.

“Did your mother make a wish too?”

asked softly.

This is the real purpose of my stay in Busan.

After all, personalized service is the best.

“huh. My mother also has the same wish as Jeonghyeok…”

At that time, a bodyguard from Taesung Group, who was on guard, opened the gate.From noble mtl dot com

No doorbell rang, no ID check or identity check.

Bubbly.

He was a tall, long-legged man wearing a long black coat and gray scarf, far more handsome than most celebrities.

It seemed that the scent of a heavy, sophisticated and luxurious men’s perfume was spreading softly in the cold wind.

He saw us and stopped walking.

“Soojin.”

“ah······!”

Mother covered her mouth with both hands.

“Senior Seongjun…!”
