Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

＜ Expected answer sheet ＞

Secretary Kim said.

“I understood why the young master said that this was not an expected answer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Secretary Kim greeted me politely.

“Master Seongjun will be very happy too. In many ways . . . . .”

“Secretary Kim, I want you to keep this note a secret too.”

Secretary Kim felt sorry for her.

why not?

“Then, at least for the president…”

“no.”

From noble mtl dot com

No, that’s why I feel sorry for not being able to inform you, why!

I shook my head.

“I want you to remain as an anonymous sponsor this time.”

“Boss, the president gives a generous reward to those who have made achievements. Not only the route map of subway line 2 this time, but also the invitations sent to the magnates… everything.”

“That’s Okay.”

I held out with both hands.

“As I am now, I need more time and foundation. Unnecessarily attracting attention only narrows your range of motion.”

I haven’t gotten what I want yet.

He is only seven years old, and even his limbs are in a poor condition.

‘Right now, my father needs more attention than me. It’s time for the father to lay the groundwork properly. That’s more advantageous to me.’

Compared to the other brothers, the father has a poor and meager foundation.

Aside from the fact that he had only been abroad for several years, it was because he had given up on Taesung Chemical, which his grandfather was trying to take care of.

There are plenty of reasons to be ignored by your brothers.

‘The world is a weak meat. The fight for the control of the conglomerates is a battle that is as bloody and bloody as a political one. Once there is a fight, parents and siblings will not take care of it.’

Power is not originally divided even between parents and children.

Did I see something like that for a day or two?

Without chaebol families and politicians, back alley fixers and cleaners would all starve to death.

They lived off someone’s scraps.

‘Bite the weak first is the basis of a fight. To eliminate even one competitor first.’

Am I overreacting to an uncle and an aunt I have yet to meet?

‘No. There is nothing wrong with having a strong foundation. The more money and power, the better.’

The strong can be merciful, but the fate of the weak is determined by the mercy of the strong.

For that reason, for the time being, I plan to focus on building my father’s foundation.

‘No, why did this nobleman feel so unfair from before? Are you sure I’m okay?’

Huh. this is true

“Brother, why is there such a thing as nangjungjichu (囊中之錐)? No matter how hard you try to hide your true value, it will eventually come out.”

You can go there and think about it.

“I, Kim Yeong-geol, will always do my best to ensure that you always pay the price for your sacrifice and efforts for Taeseong. I promise you.”

I am a man who does not refuse favors.

“great. There was something I secretly wanted to ask of Secretary Kim.”

“Yes, whatever. I will help you with all my heart.”

This is very good!

To think that the man who took care of even the secret and dirty work of the Taeseong family would actively help me.

It seems to make things very easy.

‘If you’re Secretary Kim, setting up an investment company that won’t leave any trace of me is going to be a piece of cake, right?’

Of course, it is important for my father to receive attention and to lay the groundwork for me.

That’s why you don’t have to take care of me and don’t know me, right?

Every time I have time, whenever I get a chance, I take care of my share on my own.

“Uh-huh!”

Oops, that’s not what’s urgent right now.

“Secretary Kim. Shouldn’t you give that note to your father as soon as possible?”

“yes.”

I smiled and waved my hand.

“Go ahead. I don’t think Dad will have much time to read through the note.”

“Yes, Bocchan. I will take care of the urgent matters first and then come back.”

Secretary Kim hurried back.

* * *

The grim reaper hovered near my father.

On the terrace, my father alone smoked a chain-smoker.

Cuggit.

Father crumpled the note.

“It’s like going into a person and not coming out, like an expected answer sheet…”

If I thought it was bullsh*t, I would have crumpled it up and threw it in the trash.

“I am furious. How the hell did a human being come up with something like this?”

It was already the fourth repeated laugh.

“Are you a genius?”

Father stroked his chin.

smart smart

Secretary Kim knocked on the terrace window.

“Boss, I think you should go in and take a look. It looks like the young master’s turn will come soon.”

As a result of the visible line of power, it was easy to confirm entering the room in order.

“Give me the note.”

“hmm?”

Secretary Kim shoved the note into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

My father looked at me with a puzzled expression or not.

Secretary Kim bowed at a 90 degree angle and politely sent them off.

“I will only see you off here. have a good trip Good luck.”

Just as the bodyguards of the Taesung Group were not allowed to enter the banquet hall on New Year’s Eve, only the father was allowed to enter the bar at the Hyunmu Hotel.

My father soon turned around and headed to the bar at the Hyunmu Hotel.

* * *

Hyunmoo Construction President Oh, who was anxiously hanging around in front of the room, was delighted when he found his father.

“President Cha, come here quickly. It’s our turn soon! Where are you running around so fearlessly?”

“I’ve been smoking some cigarettes.”

Actually, it took time to read the note and ponder the contents.

Oh, and of course I smoked too.

Stuffed with chain-smoking.

“It seems that you were also very nervous, right? Phew, that goes for me too.”

Hyunmoo Construction CEO Oh rubbed his hands.

“When did I ever meet your Excellency separately? I’ve seen them occasionally at events such as groundbreaking ceremonies or opening ceremonies, or from afar, but it’s the first time I’ve been together for a drink.”

On the outside of the document that Hyunmu Construction President Oh was holding, the title ＜List of End-of-Year Night Sponsors and Donations＞ was clearly written.

Of course it was the color of sh*t.

“Assuming I have to hand over the list of sponsors for the year-end night. Why were you called here?”

“well. I’m not sure either.”

“I don’t think there’s any reason to call you if it’s because of the subway line 2 construction. I don’t know if I would have called Chairman Cha. Hmm.”

Hyunmoo Construction CEO Oh lowered his voice as he stayed close to his father.

“Do you know how many people have been kicked out so far? Twenty, no, maybe thirty at best.”

“Are there thirty?”

“Carefully. They are often kicked out without mercy within a few minutes of entering.”

Hyunmoo Construction CEO Oh deeply sighed.

“If I had known this was going to happen, I would have urged the staff to draw out some expected questions in advance. That way you can get an answer that won’t get caught…”

At that moment, the door to the room was thrown open, and the two of them collapsed as if they were being pushed out.

Courage!

“Oops!”

He was the Vice-Minister of Construction and the Deputy Minister.

The Chief of Security at the Blue House threw out four briefcases.

The eyes looking down at those who were kicked out were very cold.

Soon, the chief of security at the Blue House turned his eyes to this direction.

“President Oh of Hyunmoo Construction, come in.”

Hyunmoo Construction President Oh entered the room with a list of sponsors for the year-end night.From noble mtl dot com

Now, there is only one person left who has not been called here, the father.

“Seongjun!”

“······father?”

Grandpa hurried this way carrying something wrapped in a golden cloth.

He volunteered to help his son.

The grandfather approached the head of the operation department of the Blue House Security Office and held out a golden cloth.

“Top quality deodeok week. Good wine just came in, so I brought it to treat your Excellency with silk wine.”

Grandpa slipped through the thick envelope.

After receiving the envelope, the head of the operations department of the Blue House Security Office secretly hinted.

“Before you hear that they tried to poison Your Excellency, take back the alcohol you brought. I can’t see this.”

“I can’t help it. I can’t bother you. OK.”

“Thank you for understanding, Chairman Cha.”

“Then share this with you. Deodeokju is the best quality product that is hard to find in the market. I always go through a lot of trouble to serve His Excellency.”

The grandfather gave the deodeokju to the head of the operation department of the Blue House Security Office.

The Blue House bodyguards, who were trying to take the grandfather by force, backed off at the glance of the head of the operations department.

Grandpa approached Father and whispered softly.

“Seongjun-ah, be careful. If you don’t know, be honest and say you don’t know. It is better than pretending to know without presumptuousness.”

“yes.”

“If you have to go to jail, let it go. Yoonseong caused the problems at Taesung Construction, so he should be held accountable.”

It was the purpose of his grandfather’s coming here, and the opportunity for advice obtained in exchange for sincerity.

“You didn’t know anything because you were going to the Middle East. Yoonseong has already promised. Got it?”

Grandpa swallowed dry saliva.

“If you don’t like it, call me out loud. If I prostrate myself and ask, His Excellency, at least once…”

Then the door to the room burst open.

“sorry! I will correct it! From next time, I will do my best… Billion!”

Less than a minute after entering the room.

President Oh of Hyunmoo Construction was kicked out in contemplation.

The chief of security at the Blue House grabbed Hyunmoo Construction President Oh by the arm and pulled him out.

The eyes of the Chief of Security at the Blue House were as cold as ice.

“Chairman Cha of Taesung Group, you have to distinguish when to wear it and when not to wear it. pull it out!”

The chief of security at the Blue House snapped a finger at his father.

“next. Taeseong… you there. little boy.”

* * *

The room was thick with cigarette smoke, and there was no raccoon den.

The closed room was dimly illuminated by incandescent lighting.

“Until there.”

The Chief of Security at the Blue House stretched out his arm to block the father’s presence.

“This is the distance allowed for you, bastard. stand back. further back.”

My father stood at the entrance of the room and looked around.

Of course, the person sitting on the sofa in the senior seat was the president, the mayor of Seoul sat on the sofa to the right, and the chief of staff at the Blue House sat on the sofa to the left.

The rest of the ministers who entered first were all driven toward the wall, rather than being given a drink.

There were three subway maps spread out side by side on the table, and a tin trash can next to the president was crammed full of papers.

Among them was a bundle of documents titled ＜List of End-of-Year Night Sponsors and Funds＞.

Knock knock.

The president tapped the subway line 2 map with his fingertips.

“The map of subway line 2 that Taeseong said he drew. It is similar to what Mayor Gu drew.”

The president tapped the map of subway line 2 drawn with a red felt-tip pen with his fingertips.

Taeseong’s subway line map, Line 2, fluttered and fell to the floor.

“Did you bribe a high-ranking official from City Hall to steal state secrets?”

The president’s voice was cold.

“I think the probability that the answer sheet was stolen through bribery and improper solicitation is higher than the probability of the same route map appearing under the sky. What do you think?”

Tsk tsk, I knew it would be like this!

In any case, there is no nobleman who sat in a high seat and did not suffer from suspicious disease?

He was a person who had wielded absolute power for a long time, so I was just in case!

‘Did you just get the expected problem number 1? I was always looking forward to when you would ask me about this!’

This is somehow lucky from the start!

However, it was Mayor Gu, not his father, who immediately responded to the president’s remarks.

The former mayor was frightened and jumped up.

“No, Your Excellency! It can’t be!”

The words bribery and improper solicitation came out of the president’s mouth.

Such words are usually written in pairs.

For when there is a giver, there is also a receiver.

“The suggestion to draw a map of subway line 2 was a spontaneous whim of mine!”

Even if one did not directly receive bribes and solicitations, responsibility for leaking state secrets to the outside cannot be avoided.

This was the reason Mayor Gu desperately defended his father.

But I got it wrong.

If bribery and improper solicitation were really suspected, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency would have stepped forward.

There must have been something else the president wanted to confirm directly from his father.

So he must be keeping an eye on his father without even looking at the old market.

“I asked what you think. answer.”

“I am innocent.”

“Is that the end of your excuses?”

“Excuses are made to cover up sins committed. I will prove my innocence with my results.”

The president tilted his head.

“how?”

“I will directly show you why we have no choice but to draw the same route map without resorting to bribery and corruption.”

Only then did the corner of the president’s mouth rise slightly.
