Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

＜ Shall I raise the board more? (Paid start) ＞

I was delighted to welcome Secretary Kim.

“Secretary Kim, welcome!”

I put my hands together and bowed my belly button.

Secretary Kim raised an eyebrow.

“Thank you for the welcome. Have you had dinner?”

“yes. Secretary Kim, did you eat?”

“Unfortunately, not yet.”

It meant very busy.

The reason why Secretary Kim couldn’t eat properly and came running was probably because of that gift.

“Since you came all the way here, would you like to have dinner at my house?”

This is my favor for errands.

“Fortunately, Grandma Okbun cooked for dinner tonight as well. Okbun Grandma’s cooking skills were the best in the Guro-dong shantytown, right?”

I leaned close to Secretary Kim and whispered softly.

“Once you taste it, you will never forget the magical taste! It will be a meal with no regrets.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Secretary Kim raised both hands and showed them.

There were two large, heavy-looking suitcases.

“But unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like this is the time to have a leisurely dinner. I have a lot to tell you.”

“What is all this?”

“The president has sent you. This is a present for Master Jeong Hyuk.”

Secretary Kim held out the suitcase she was carrying with her left hand toward me.

“If it’s a gift, that means there’s no request or payment, right?”

“yes. In fact, the price has already been paid by the young master. So, strictly speaking, it can also be called a reward.”

A gift and a reward are distinctly different.

Gifts are given to show sincerity and goodwill, and rewards are given to pay for merit.

“Actually, the president hasn’t even paid the bribe money yet.”

There were two things Grandpa left out.

To apologize to my mother, and to allow the marriage.

I wanted to appease my grandfather, and to get the memorandum, no, IOU.

Before I could finish the bribe settlement, I handed over the three cut pages.

“Let’s assume it’s like having a credit transaction with your grandfather.”

“You don’t have to worry about getting eaten. The president is a person who knows business morality.”

“It is family. It doesn’t matter if you lose a little.”

I smiled.

But Secretary Kim shook her head.

“If one-sided damage accumulates, regret builds up implicitly. Layer upon layer of resentment turns into resentment at some point. I don’t know anything else about the president, but he’s thorough when it comes to rewards.”

Secretary Kim carefully put the bag at my feet.

“That’s why this bag came back to you. However, the reason why I said “gift” instead of “reward” was because the president cared about you.”

At first glance, the suitcase that Secretary Kim said was my portion looked quite heavy.

“The CEO of Taesung Construction just got fired.”

fast!

It’s about killing the head of his younger brother, the president of a construction company.

It was vaguely expected that it would take a few days if it was short, or several months if it was long.

“Procedures such as shareholders’ meeting are left behind, but since the chairman’s will is firm, it won’t take too long. It is safe to view it as a definitive matter.”

“Did Grandpa make deodeokju?”

“For reference, the CEO of Taesung Construction drank soju.”

Like it!

It was just as I had asked Secretary Kim when I gave the deodeokju.

“How is he? as a cop? to the prosecution? Or in the middle?”

“Did you even predict that?”

Secretary Kim raised an eyebrow.

“Unfortunately, not all three.”

“Hmm. If it’s because my grandfather, who handles things so quickly, insists on acting softly…”

I was deep in thought.

Secretary Kim waited patiently with an interesting expression.

“I heard that the CEO of Taesung Construction didn’t do his job dirty?”

“you’re right. But how did you know that?”

That’s because I read the Taesung Group report.

Taesung Engineering & Construction became independent, but it didn’t take long for it to go downhill.

I can’t tell you the truth about this.

How can I explain… I have!

“It’s obvious when you see that Taesung Construction’s stock price is sh*t even though my dad has been working so many times.”

“you’re right. If the chairman had questioned his managerial ability, he probably wouldn’t have gotten a decent position.”

“Hmm, then how many children does the CEO of Taesung Construction have?”

“There are three of you. Two of my sons are married and one of my daughters is unmarried.”

I got it!

I nodded.

“I had to hold hands at my youngest daughter’s wedding hall, so my grandfather looked after me.”

“you’re right. Just because I am planning to get married this spring.”

Secretary Kim smiled heartily and opened the suitcase.

“This is Taesung Construction stock. In addition to the 4% the CEO of Taesung Construction had, up to 3% collected under borrowed names. That’s about 7% of the total.”

When I wanted stocks worth 100 million won in Taesung, my grandfather brought 1% of shares in Taesung Construction.

But this is 7%.

“This is the slush fund that the CEO of Taesung Construction has stolen.”

“Are you thick? Bearer bonds, gold bars, overseas real estate, even wads of dollars.”

“I robbed the secret safe at the owner’s house of Taesung Construction.”

It must be the workmanship of Secretary Kim.

It’s also something gangsters or loan sharks do when they’re pissed off.

It was a solution I was very familiar with.

So I have to laugh.

“Of course, you must have opened the safe in the president’s office of Taesung Construction, right?”

“It is contained here. This is the responsibility of Master Seongjun. It’s because it’s business.”

Secretary Kim lifted the heavy suitcase she was holding with her right hand.

“If I rob the executives of Taesung Construction in the future, I will bring them back. You can look forward to it.”

It was a voice that made the faith that I didn’t have.

“This is all thanks to you bringing the bribe ledger from Wookwang Construction, and thanks to you completing the three pages that were cut off.”

write yourself?

At that point, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Did you know?”

“The bribery ledger was all typed, but only the cut off part was handwritten, right? Indeed it was.”

Secretary Kim also smiled.

“In the end, my choice was right. Before taking Mr. Park Chul-gu to the president, he was brought to the young master.”

“It was an excellent choice.”

I gave a thumbs up

The day I brought Uncle Cheol-gu to me, I remembered what Secretary Kim had said.

-It is not too late for me to directly stab Mr. Park Cheol-gu even after the negotiations with the young boy have gone wrong.

-Mr. Park Cheol-gu, know it straight. Who do you think saved your life? Live in gratitude to Master Jeong Hyuk for the rest of your life.

It seems that Secretary Kim’s share was also in the reason why the Hwang Chun-gil counter shone above Mr. Cheol-gu’s head.

Secretary Kim bowed politely.

“It is also the master’s skill and ability to open Mr. Park Cheol-gu’s heavy mouth. Thanks to that, Taeseong was able to stop the leaking water tank. It’s something the president deserves to reward.”

Come to think of it, there is something I want to ask Secretary Kim.

“Speaking of Wookwang Construction’s bribery ledger. I have a question.”

“What are you curious about?”

“How did you write the bribe ledger? by letter? Or do we meet face-to-face?”

“Hoo. Did you even guess that?”

Secretary Kim raised her silver-rimmed glasses.

“Delivered by letter.”

“Good job. If it was my grandfather’s personality, I thought he would call out the people on the bribe ledger and shout loudly, but he was more patient than he looked.”

“Because of the fire bulldozer nickname, we usually have that prejudice. That, too, is partly the intention of the president.”

“Then, it is certain that Woo-gwang, not our Tae-seong, will take care of the blackmail…”

Then the front door burst open.

“Is there a problem?”

was the father

‘It was an important part!’

My father glared at Secretary Kim with cold eyes.

“What are you doing with the child now?”

“You misunderstood.”

Secretary Kim pointed to the suitcase that was supposed to belong to me.

“I was just explaining a gift from the president.”

“well. It doesn’t seem very fair to see a child gossip outside without a guardian at this late hour.”

“Then can I go inside the mansion and explain it in front of the guardian?”

Secretary Kim lifted the two suitcases at once and smiled.

“It’s because I’ve prepared quite a lot with both hands full and brought it.”

“Come on in!”

I was welcome

“Dad, don’t treat the guest who brought you a present at the door!”

“Mmm.”

“This is my guest. So, is it okay if it’s for a while?”

“I can’t help it. Secretary Kim, I will give you five minutes.”

Father turned his back.

“I don’t think five minutes will be enough. This is the president’s message. Does Taeseong collapse without that chemistry?”

“…!”

My father, who was about to enter the house, stopped abruptly.

The bodyguards of Taesung Group, who received the suitcase from Secretary Kim, couldn’t hide their surprised expressions.

Either that or not.

Secretary Kim continued to speak calmly.

“By the way, I will also inform you of what the President has instructed me to do. He asked us to draw up an estimate of how much damage we would have to bear if we went ahead and sold our stake in Taesung Chemical.”

“…!”

Father clenched his fists.

It was the same for me too.

Taesung Group bodyguards breathed in.

One of the bodyguards impatiently asked.

“Hoe, did you really say you were giving up on Taesung Chemical?”

Secretary Kim did not answer.

Instead, he just relayed his grandfather’s words.

“I was told to attend this year-end night event accompanied by Mr. Lee Soo-jin and Master Jeong Hyuk.”

“······Father?”

To accompany a child out of wedlock to an official event.

I could already see what was going to happen.

Father impatiently looked back.

“Did your father really say that?”

“of course.”

Secretary Kim straightened her collar.

“I think 5 minutes is too short to report in detail.”

“Have a cup of tea in the study and go.”

“thank you. Perhaps a cup of tea won’t be enough, but I will follow your will.”

Secretary Kim walked without hesitation.

Even in the cold wind of midwinter, not a single strand of hair was undisturbed, even the creases on the hem of trousers were sharp, and there was not a single speck of dust on the shiny shoes.

The bodyguards left outside could not stand it and whispered among themselves.

“What is all this about?”

“Taesung Chemical is a 30 billion won business, right?”

“When we first jointly invested, it was the chairman who raised a 1 billion business into a large 30 billion company.”

“If we organize Taesung Chemical right now, we won’t be the only ones suffering losses…!”

When I followed Secretary Kim into the house, the bodyguards immediately fell silent.

But I couldn’t get rid of the small whisper behind my back.

Either that or not.

My steps toward the front door were light.

‘You mean organizing Taesung Chemical?’

Grandpa made a decision.

Even if it is something that can be painfully painful.

‘If my grandfather decided to take that much loss to accept my mother, then I should also roll up my arms and help with all my might?’

Life is originally a give and take.

If you receive a favor, it is a man’s duty to return the favor!

‘Grandpa doesn’t have to take the loss! Rather, let’s make it so that even while eating Taesung Chemicals raw, he can receive a generous amount of damages from Woo-Kwang! There’s one more!’

New Year’s Eve night.

It is a gathering of important people in the political and business world that serves both as a charity bazaar and a support group to help the less fortunate during the year-end and New Year holidays.

‘Would you like to simply fill in the hole created by the president and employees of Taesung Construction?’

If so, I’ll have to make the plate a bit bigger.

‘Hmm, I guess I’ll have to invite a few more people to the year-end night event.’

Upon receiving the invitation, Master will be very happy and come running.

The same goes for other giants in the underground banking world.
