< 100 Million Dollar Errand >

Chairman Cha was silent for a moment.

-Why don’t you ask me who my anonymous sponsor is, or ask if I’m a trustworthy person?

It was because Secretary Kim’s question was serious.

“I don’t know who the anonymous benefactor is, but I know you. You are not the kind of person who will take pleasure in things that harm Taeseong and me.”

“President······.”

“You must have already completed identification and ability verification on your ship, right? That’s it.”

Chairman Cha smiled.

“Was that enough of an answer?”

“Are you okay? I intend to keep my mouth shut.”

“Then do it.”

Chairman Cha nodded his head coolly.

“To be honest, I wonder who that person is. Even if I brush you off, shouldn’t I find out who the anonymous sponsor is?

“But why…”

“I wondered if it was necessary to cut open the belly of the goose that lays the golden eggs.”

Chairman Cha drank alcohol at once.

“You and that anonymous sponsor must be doing this for a reason. Do I need to stir myself up and bring distrust to myself?”

“Mmm.”

“Now that anonymous benefactor is obviously favoring Taeseong. That was it.”

“Isn’t it an invisible favor? Aren’t you suspicious of your intentions or afraid of falling behind?”

“Why am I worried about that? It is the anonymous sponsor who is in the business of bottoming out, not Taeseong.”

Chairman Cha laughed.

“Did I go on my knees and ask for help, did I write a memorandum, or did I write down an IOU after being secured as collateral?”

Secretary Kim swallowed the words, ‘The president has already written a memorandum.’

“Sometimes the unknown is the medicine. Anything you try to charge me for will be difficult. I’ll just grab it without knowing. Don’t you have any evidence?”

Secretary Kim couldn’t bear to say, ‘Chairman has already handed over the stock.’

“Right now, the gains are only looking at our Taeseong unilaterally. So how can I not call you a nobleman? Is this a hogu or a big crowd, even I am confused.”

Secretary Kim swallowed the words, ‘If Hogu is caught, it will probably be the chairman.’

“There are many favors given to you. Every once in a while, at the most important moment, I got the help I needed most.”

Chairman Cha pounded my chest.

“I’m Cha Tae-seong, I’m not that ungrateful! Please take good care of me in the future, tell me that you will definitely pay this debt someday.”

“Yes, I will tell you that.”

Secretary Kim nodded.

However, he suddenly groped and pulled out an empty piece of paper and a Montblanc fountain pen.

Secretary Kim pushed them in front of Chairman Cha.

“Because he likes documents more than words. Write it while the words have been spoken.”

“No, to voluntarily write a memorandum I didn’t ask for?”

“Wouldn’t a sincere letter of thanks be better than a verbal thank you?”

“Ah, a thank-you note.”

It was only then that Chairman Cha’s complexion brightened.

“Yeah, that’s a good idea. If you have been thanked, you have to reciprocate, and you have to leave at least a sign of sincerity for repeated favors.”

Chairman Cha grabbed the Montblanc fountain pen that Secretary Kim held out and scribbled a letter of thanks.

“Come on, take it.”

“yes.”

“Hmm, did Secretary Kim get a thank-you letter? No matter how you look at it, this isn’t your style, is it? Did an anonymous benefactor ask you to come?”

“It can’t be. This is just my sincerity and personalized service.”

Secretary Kim carefully folded Chairman Cha’s thank-you letter, lest it be wrinkled.

Chairman Cha, who was staring at the scene, made a rough sound.

“Secretary Kim, I just suddenly heard that I was suspicious. Be honest. Is it the patron or me?”

“Can I transfer?”

“No way! Not until I die! You promised to be with us until we die! Be loyal!”

Secretary Kim’s smile deepened as Chairman Cha spoke clearly.

“No, who is this? Why do you keep smiling without answering? You really don’t want to switch, do you?”

“Actually, I received a recruitment offer today.”

“what?”

“This is the way I just cut it off and rejected it. That Kim Young-gul, I’m not that ungrateful. I cannot repay the kindness I received from you with my life.”

“good job! That is our Kim Young-gul! In that sense, have a drink!”

Chairman Cha laughed and poured Secretary Kim’s glass full.

“It seems that His Excellency just realized why he gathered the ministers and poured them out. Does this make you feel bad?”

“I just realized why everyone is so happy when I receive congratulatory wine from His Excellency. It sounds like it tastes really good.”

“Eh, I just hate playing with ranks like that. It only tastes bad! So, let’s drink and drink comfortably. Cheers!”

Chairman Cha and Secretary Kim clashed their drinking glasses with a clicking sound.

Unlike the drinking party with the president, where a sharp wind blew, a warm wind blew here.

“Secretary Kim, the last remaining Deodeokju over there. Don’t forget to take it with you when you go later.”

It was the highest grade deodeokju.

It was an alcoholic drink that could not be easily obtained even if you tried to find it in the market, and it was intended to be dedicated to the president.

“I can’t get it. Isn’t it the alcohol that Master Jeonghyeok gave it to you and didn’t even give to your younger brother?”

“Why can’t you take it if you didn’t? This drink was given to the bodyguards of the Blue House in order to give my son some advice. So don’t talk and take it. You should try it too.”

Chairman Cha put the last deodeokju into Secretary Kim’s hand.

“The alcohol tastes great. Since I founded Taeseong, I have received all kinds of silk. Among so many drinks, this deodeokju is by far the best. I bet you.”

It was a drink that the seven-year-old grandson handed over to the old woman to soothe her broken heart.

From then on, Deodeokju became the most valuable and precious drink in Chairman Cha’s life.

“great. Then I should try it too.”

Secretary Kim immediately opened Deodeokju.

cut off.

“I’ll give you just one drink. Because I have that level of loyalty.”

“Why are you sharing this precious deodeokju with me? Save yourself and drink.”

“Drinking alone is also a noble monk. Wouldn’t it taste better if you share it with the president?”

Secretary Kim raised her drinking glass.

“I’m already looking forward to the day when Master Jeonghyeok grows up quickly and the three of us can drink together.”

“so do i! Shall we toast to Jeonghyeok?”

“great.”

Brilliant.

So the two finished the last deodeokju.

jump!

The front door opened.

Chairman Cha’s wife and Cha Seong-jun’s mother gasped and laughed.

“Whoa, barely safe! You haven’t passed curfew yet, have you?”

“Yes, I barely escaped the detention center. What is that on your head?”

“yes? A head?”

The president’s wife was startled and patted her head.

There was the sound of rustling vinyl.

The wife quickly took off the black plastic bag she was wearing.

“Oh my God! I forgot!”

The mother hit her forehead.

“I sold the light!”

I was even using a plastic bag so I didn’t forget to burn it!

Chairman Cha clicked his tongue.

“He ran out saying he was going to see his grandson, so what? Do you sell ore?”

“Still, I resolved all the misunderstandings with my in-laws, and we finished talking about the future.”

“huh?”

“We agreed to become one with Go-Stop and get the kids married.”

“In-laws? Go-Stop? What else do you mean? Have you been to Bundang?”

“no? The people living together in the Hannam-dong mansion now are Sujin Lee’s mother and older brother. The cooking skills of the in-laws are really amazing.”

Secretary Kim calmly corrected it.

“Madam, I think you misunderstood. I understand that the elders who will be in-laws currently live in Bundang.”

“yes?”

“The mother and son I saw in the Hannam-dong mansion are probably the landlord’s mother and daughter in the Guro-dong shantytown. Just look at the two brown bears. Is that correct?”

“omg!”

The mother opened her mouth wide.

“We just came together to unite together to visit the Bodhisattva Fairy in Inwangsan Mountain and get married on the wedding day!”

* * *

Our house in Hannam-dong has been hectic since morning.

My father and Secretary Kim, as well as the elites of Taesung Group, were all mobilized and put their heads together and worked tirelessly.

Estimates and plans for the extension of subway line 2 were recalculated.

In addition, the budget and planning for the Gangnam Seoul Express Bus Terminal road expansion work and shopping mall construction had to be drawn up at the same time.

-as soon as. Don’t let this year pass.

From the moment the president’s order was issued, the time limit was set.

“Manager Cho, how many road rollers and excavators do you have? Call Taesung Heavy Equipment immediately. You have to secure enough money even if you have to pay more.”

“yes!”

“As a worker at Taesung Construction, there is no doubt. Deputy Manager Lee, please call the manpower office.”

“yes!”

“Director Kim, how much rubble and cement did you secure? We will start with the expansion of the road to Seoul Express Bus Terminal in Gangnam.”

“yes!”

Thanks to that, everyone had to move so fast that they couldn’t breathe properly.

The study on the second floor was not the only place that was constantly busy.

The kitchen was also busy.

“Oh, the soup is boiling over! You need to control the fire!”

“The seasoned bean sprouts are too bland. Add more salt and add sesame oil once more.”

It was to prepare food to feed the working people.

The owner of the house, the grandmother, was not enough, so Secretary Kim called in a few more kitchen helpers.

Of course I was busy too.

“Junghyeok, have you picked all the heads of bean sprouts?”

“yes.”

“What about peeling the bean pods?”

“I’m done.”

“What about anchovy poop?”

“That is yet. I am doing it now.”

This is why I am busy all day.

Is it a special measure to worry that I will interfere with my father’s work just because I’m bored?

That I won’t do that, that I’m busy too, no matter how much I appeal to them, they won’t believe me.

Is there any way to explain this?

“Bocchan, did you know he has a hamster expression?”

I should be able to not be fat.

Yoo Jong-tae looked at the kitchen aunts and whispered softly.

“Can you help me pick up the anchovy poop?”

“That’s Okay. Manager Yoo is busy with the establishment of an investment company right now. Take care of that while you have time to help with these things.”

“It’s almost over.”

fast!

“One in Korea, one in America. It’s like setting up two investment companies, right?”

“yes. That way, the US headquarters and the Korean investment company can decide to invest in each other.”

“also! Money laundering!”

When Yoo Jong-tae pretended, he understood.

“Then I will have to go to America soon.”

“I will leave that matter to Team Leader Yu. Please take good care of me.”

“Don’t worry, young man. I’m the Yujongtap!”

In this way, the detailed outline of my investment company was gradually being revealed.

“Brother, the initial business funds will be appropriated from the disposal of the personal assets of the former CEO of Taesung Construction, Cha Yoon-seong.”

When my grandfather kicked out the former president of Taesung Construction, he robbed the safe of the house and gave it to me.

But that alone isn’t enough.

‘It’s time to open the safe in the air-raid shelter in my basement!’

Gold bars, dollars, papers and works of art.

If I hadn’t bought this house, it was a property that would have gone into the hands of the Namsan leeches.

He had expanded his power terribly based on his tremendous financial power in the past.

‘I’ll have to use this as seed money.’

* * *

I found a peregrine falcon pawn shop located in a corner alley in Myeong-dong.

with my daughter

“welcome. no, who is this?”

“hello.”

“Why did the youngest grandson of Taesung Group come here again?”

Master smiled mischievously.

“Let’s see. Is it the transaction party that brought the subway station information as promised, or the bank investor? Or did you come as a pawnshop little customer?”

“All three. I’m going to have a lot of business today.”

I pushed the finely folded paper under the pawnshop’s barbed wire.

“I’d like to give you information on 17 subway stations.”

“Oh, I invested 5 billion, but you gave me 17 stations?”

Anyway, if you want to fall for free, you will open your eyes.

I know that you purposely invested money that didn’t fall just for that purpose.

“100 million is a service, right?”

“What service are you trying to get for 100 million without conscience?”

“Then you ask me to pay 100 million separately? Eh, I have no money! Double!”

I knew it would be like this.

“Then, why don’t you just receive information on 16 subway stations?”

“late. I already have information on 17 stations in my hands… 16 stations, right?”

The note I gave to Master contained information on only 16 stations.

“Then 200 million is a service, right?”

“What kind of service are you trying to receive for 200 million without conscience!”

“How much money do I have? Are you hungry?”

I returned it with the same words, but Master asked for crab foam.

If you are Master, you will never give up.

“Wouldn’t it be better to broker a sale and get one more subway station information? Our 100 million is paid for running errands.”

I grinned as I rubbed a finely folded piece of paper.

“If you don’t like it, don’t. Then you don’t have to go anywhere else. good bye.”

I put my hands together and saluted my belly button.

Master finally raised both hands.

“good night! 17 stations! An errand for 100 million won, I will take care of it!”
