Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

＜ Year-end night (1) ＞

Year-end night event held at Hyunmu Hotel.

It is a charity bazaar and sponsorship event to help the less fortunate during the year-end and New Year holidays.

The car we rode gently stopped in front of the front gate of the Hyunmu Hotel.

widely.

My father got off first and reached out to escort my mother.

Father and mother stood side by side.

They were a beautiful couple.

I also dressed up in the same concept of the father’s suit and stood together.

My father, who even held my hand, smiled confidently.

“Let’s go in.”

It was a gathering of major political and business figures and prominent social leaders from all walks of life, who can only be seen on the news.

In the hall, musicians gathered and sang together.

The guest singer sang and led the atmosphere.

The waiters put champagne on trays and went around among the people.

‘Was the year-end night an event like this?’

I’ve only heard of it, but it was the first time I’ve been here like this.

This was an event that people in the shadows like us were not allowed to enter.From noble mtl dot com

No matter how much money we have, when we need money, everyone crawls to us on their knees and is embarrassed.

High-class people never put us in their cages.

‘When I came back, there was nothing special.’

Compared to the extravagant and crazy party at Namsan Mountain, this is nothing special.

‘But it’s interesting to see the young people I used to know. The gentlemen who used to be all around are now being treated like children here.’

People gathered in twos and threes and drank champagne.

Mixed in with casual greetings, high-level information came and went casually.

From the city development plan to stock prices that have recently gone up and down, as well as the diplomatic situation and the current status of foreign companies, etc. have been heard here and there.

“Bocchan, are you here?”

Secretary Kim, who was training next to my grandfather, found me and approached me.

I looked up at my father.

“I will go to the bathroom. I’m going to ask Secretary Kim, Dad and Mom go first.”

“okay.”

I took Secretary Kim’s hand.

It was because I had something to ask.

“Did the guests I invited separately arrive?”

“Not yet.”

“Then, if the horse head comes later, tell me indirectly. Today, people from the Korean Racing Association, Ttukseom Seoul Racecourse officials, as well as the bank manager at the racecourse will be attending.”

“May I ask why?”

“I promised to cooperate with Taeseong meekly, but I didn’t mean that I wouldn’t mess around in another sense.”

Horse Head is a man who aims to advance to the racecourse.

“If you tell me that there will be an opportunity to open a private loan window at the racetrack, you shouldn’t be blinded here, and I will take care of myself.”

“All right.”

“Oh, the people who circulated the letters. How is your reaction?”

“It seems like they are exchanging information with each other.”

Secretary Kim slightly raised one corner of her mouth.

“Nothing to worry about. It is because a few of our lawmakers have been put in as windbreakers to obscure the point and move public opinion.”

“great.”

Then I went back to my father’s side.

A small whisper came from here and there.

However, the words could not be heard clearly because of the sound of music and laughter.

‘Hey, guardian deity.’

[Sound sharing or vision sharing?]

‘Should I teach you all of that? Just go around the halls and choose useful conversations or situations and send them.’

[······It’s difficult. I get it.]

The grim reaper slowly disappeared.

It shook like smoke and penetrated the crowd.

* * *

In an instant, my eyes brightened.

It was a shared vision.

Three people with bad expressions whispered in very low voices.

“I received a very unpleasant letter a few days ago. It was sandwiched between payment documents.”

“Was that a payment document? I removed the paper from the wall of the hallway of the Capitol.”

“It must have been terrifying. I received it in the bathroom and I feel dizzy.”

The eyes looking at each other became strange.

He had vaguely guessed that he had shared Woo-gwang’s bribe amicably.

Thanks to the exchange of words, the guess was hardened into certainty.

“I thought Woo-gwang would only be this much.”

It was an unpleasant voice.

“The question is, whose hands did it fall into? Maybe Taeseong?”

“Are you Taeseong?”

The three people who were secretly talking were frightened by the voice that suddenly interrupted the conversation.

Looking back, he was a member of the opposition party.

“Rep. Choi!”

“Because I heard voices saying something about the letter and Taeseong. I was wondering if you could say this.”

Rep. Choi took out a finely folded piece of paper from his bosom.

The three people who talked about the threatening letter could not hide their surprised expressions.

They were pieces of paper that I tore to pieces as soon as I saw them.

“Well, how did you think of bringing something like that out in front of people?”

“You’re not going to burn it right now. You have good guts.”

“Have you guts? What is this?”

Rep. Choi unfolded the paper.

＜Taesung is better than Woo-gwang in every way. Taeseong will definitely win the construction of subway line 2 this time. I hope that Congressman Choi will also keep an eye on it so that there will be a fair bidding competition.＞

People’s faces became grim.

This is because the paper that Rep. Choi of the opposition party received was quite different from the one they received.

Rep. Choi pointed over his shoulder with his thumb.

“It turns out that there are quite a few people who have received the same letter. Even Chairman Cha of Taeseong said he had received a similar letter…”

“Same letter?”

“Besides, Chairman Cha Tae-seong?”

Rep. Choi laughed.

“It looks like Taeseong has a great supporter attached to it. To the point where he even sent me a letter like this asking me to push Taeseong.”

“Who is the patron who is said to have been attached to Taeseong?”

“Yeah, I don’t know. How proud was Chairman Cha of Taesung? I’m also curious about its identity. ha ha ha. I wish I could get some support.”

Those who received the threatening letter looked at each other.

The glances that came and went in a short amount of time contained numerous meanings.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

They left Rep. Choi behind and went through the crowds in search of his grandfather.

The windbreaker I called hadn’t even arrived yet, but the windbreaker that Secretary Kim had mobilized was in full swing.

“President Cha!”

They found Grandpa surrounded by people in the center of the hall.

“Is it true that there are people who support Taesung Construction?

“then. As I live, I receive all these kinds of support. Who knows, this is very reassuring.”

Grandpa chuckled.

They quickly read the paper that Grandpa was holding out.

＜Is there a reason why Taeseong is pushed behind by Woogwang? As long as I stand behind it, there will be nothing Taeseong can’t win the subway project. Together, let’s succeed in a major construction project that will go down in history. I will actively support Taesung.＞

They looked at each other with shaky eyes.

Grandpa moistened his lips with a sip of champagne and spoke confidently.

“Since you have such expectations, there’s no way I won’t live up to them. Taeseong must win the construction of subway line 2 this time.”

Grandpa raised three fingers.

“The investment that came into Taesung Construction is 3 billion won in cash only.”

“Three billion?”

“Have investors already stuck?”

People’s eyes have changed.

The fact that an investor was attached was said to smell like money.

The gossips grew louder.

“I don’t know if it’s a word. Was there an investor who could mobilize 3 billion won in cash at once?”

“Isn’t it possible that he brought in a loan from a foreign country?”

“I heard that oil money is overflowing in the Middle East, and Taesung Construction is actively winning construction orders by entering the Middle East.”

“It makes sense. Even most banks in Korea can’t move such a large amount easily.”

Thanks to the grim reaper, even the small whispers could be heard clearly.

People started paying attention to my father before I knew it.

“Come to think of it, I often hear that the youngest son of Taesung Group has won a major construction project in the Middle East.”

“Last time, I heard that you were invited as an honored guest to the Saudi royal family. Didn’t Samhwang Oil, who went to Saudi Arabia to negotiate oil prices, see it and rub his eyes again?”

“I heard that he is exceptionally good-looking, but he seems to have excellent skills as well. I wondered why a person who had been out in the Middle East for a long time returned to Korea. I think it was because of the vice minister.”

Suddenly, the supporter of Taesung Group was confirmed to be a person from the Middle East.

It wasn’t bad, it was rather a sweet misunderstanding.

Soon, the giants of the previous era will enter.

Everyone will witness with their own eyes that the Taesung Group is receiving a huge amount of support.

“Father, at this point, how can we not tie a string to the Middle East and bring in some loans?”

“Is that friend about your age? Build friendships. Business originally starts with friendship. We push and pull each other and go up together.”

“Okay, then I’ll be back for a while.”

Although there will be more dung flies that are already twisted in the future.

The atmosphere around is not bad.

* * *

I stopped sharing my vision with the grim reaper.

‘Everyone is very interested in subway construction and oil money.’

The bidding for the construction of subway line 2 is less than a month away.

Depending on who wins the subway project between Taeseong and Woogwang, their pockets will also change.

As someone said, business originally begins with friendship, and we will benefit from the information that flows from each other.

‘I can earn a lot of money with just high-quality information coming and going in a place like this, but if I just know where the subway station is, I’ll see a huge profit margin.’

That’s probably why people flock to my grandfather and father.

It was to get at least one more information about the construction of subway line 2.

Before I knew it, there were quite a few young people secretly gathering near my father.

“Seongjun, it’s been a while. How many years has it been since you went to the army?”

“Why are you so busy alone? how have you been?”

Of course, standing next to my father, my mother and I also received attention.

“who is this? Who is this incredible beauty here?”

“Who is this little boy again? It looks the same as when you were younger…”

They stopped talking and kept their mouths shut.From noble mtl dot com

No way, the doubt was all over the expression on his face.

Father calmly introduced us.

“Greetings. My wife Lee Su-jin, and my son Cha Jeong-hyeok.”

“I am Sujin Lee.”

“Hello, I’m Cha Jeong-hyeok.”

When we said hello, everyone couldn’t hide their embarrassment.

“what?”

“Wait, Sungjoon! You now…!”

“What about marriage with Woo-gwang? What is all this…!”

Grandpa chuckled.

“Sungjun is my friend. Please take good care of my daughter-in-law and Jeong-hyeok.”

The head of Taesung Group made a public announcement.

A gasping sound flowed through the crowd of people gathered nearby.

A lot of stares scrutinizing us began to cling to us.

It was a tenacious, hot, sharp, cynical gaze.

“Chairman Cha, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of you marrying your youngest son.”

“It happened.”

The number of eyes staring at this suddenly increased.

The small hum grew louder and louder.

“Then, what about Woo-gwang?”

It was then.

“Woo-gwang has arrived.”

“Wookwang Group head family and Wookwang affiliate presidents are coming.”

The murmur of the people gathered in the hall stopped for a moment.

After a while, a group of people, including the president of Wookwang Construction and the head of Wookwang Group, arrived at the hall.

The one walking the farthest in front was a man with a huge limp while using a cane.

‘This is Kim Woo-gwang, the head of Woo-kwang Group.’

When I ran errands under Master, Chairman Kim of Wookwang Group was usually sitting in a wheelchair.

But now he is holding a cane in a much more correct manner.

Then and now, the unique cold and sharp eyes were still visible.

“…”

Before I knew it, the sound of the ensemble of the musicians became smaller, and the song of the guest singer ended.

People watched them closely.

Some of the people who received the threatening letters immediately went blind.

From somewhere, I heard the sound of grinding.

Woo Kwang Construction CEO could not hide his puzzled expression.
