I want to be a chaebol

Chapter 69 Zhou Zhengyong’s Funeral
Song Yi was indeed unable to watch the [-] banned movie with his girlfriend at night. Jin Xiyuan did not act as a light bulb this time, but Zhou Zhengyong, who was in a coma, could not hold on and passed away.

Although Zhou Shulan had already had a premonition, she still couldn't hide her sadness.Song Yi was very calm and drove Zhou Shulan to Ashan Hospital, where Zhou Zhengyong's funeral was held.After the funeral, Zhou Zhengyong's body was transferred to the family cemetery in Gyeonggi Province for burial.

Song Yi drove Zhou Shulan to Ashan Hospital. As relatives, they wanted to say goodbye to Zhou Zhengyong, and Zhou Zhengyong's body was sent to the crematorium near Asan Hospital for cremation.

When Song Yi arrived at the hospital, Zhou Mengxian's family had already arrived. They were the first to come to the hospital after hearing the news.Song Yi also met Zhou Mengxian's three children for the first time, the eldest daughter Zhou Zhiyi, the second daughter Zhou Zhuyi and his son Zhou Mingxuan.

Zheng Enxuan had already changed into white mourning clothes. She took her three children to say hello to Zhou Shulan, and then introduced them to Song Yi.

"This is your cousin Yi. Song Yi is also the executive director of Ashan Group. Zhiyi, if you don't understand anything at work, you can ask him for advice." Zheng Enxuan told his daughter.

Zhou Zhiyi was Zhou Mengxian's eldest daughter and Zhou Zhengyong's beloved granddaughter. She had obviously cried once on the way here.

Zhou Shulan is Zhou Mengxian's cousin. According to seniority, Zhou Zhiyi should be called Zhou Shulan's cousin. However, in order to express the close relationship between the two families, Zheng Enxuan asked Zhou Zhiyi's three siblings to directly call Zhou Shulan Aunt.

Zhou Zhiyi looked at Song Yi curiously. She had heard Song Yi's name a long time ago, and Zhou Mengxian and Zheng Enxuan kept praising him.

"I have heard of Cousin Yi a long time ago. Who told him to chase away the beauty of our Seoul National University?" Zhou Zhiyi said.

When Kim Tae Hee became famous on the Internet for her "mineral water sister" photos, Zhou Zhiyi noticed this girl from the same school.

As soon as Kim Tae Hee entered the school, she was selected as the campus beauty of Seoul National University because of her unrivaled beauty. The photo of "Mineral Water Sister" made Kim Tae Hee famous both inside and outside the school.

Zheng Enxuan was helpless, "When my mother was in school, we didn't select school beauties."

Zhou Zhiyi hugged Zheng Eunxuan, "Mom went to Ewha Womans University. There are only girls in the school. How can anyone choose the school beauties? The school beauties are all selected by boys, okay?"

At this time, Zhou Mengxian called the three siblings Zhou Zhiyi over and told them what to pay attention to today.Zhou Mengxian had many friends coming over today, and they couldn't be rude.

Zheng Eunxuan just found out today that Kim Taehee is not only a contracted artist of Xinya Entertainment, but also Song Yi's girlfriend.

"Last time I visited Xinya Entertainment, why didn't you mention that Kim Tae Hee was your girlfriend?" Zheng Enxuan asked Song Yi. Zheng Enxuan rarely read entertainment news, so he was not as well informed as Zhou Zhiyi.

"Taixi is still studying. In order not to affect her studies, it is better to keep the relationship low-key." Song Yi said.

Zheng Enxuan nodded, "You are more mature in thinking about things, and no one can say what will happen in the future. I don't know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident." There was a touch of sadness on Zheng Enxuan's face, maybe she was also worried

Song Yi wanted to adjust the atmosphere, "If my aunt were 20 years younger, she would definitely be admitted to Seoul National University, and then you would definitely be the school beauty."

As the saying goes, a widow is pretty and a filial piety.Zheng Enxuan is wearing a white mourning dress. He looks frail, but a bit charming.

Zheng Enxuan blushed, glared at Song Yi, and looked guiltily at her husband who was not far away. "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not big or small. By the way, the headquarters office address of Ashan Group has been chosen. We rented the 63th to 9th floors in Building 11. We have left separate rooms for you and Director Li. Office, give me your own advice on how to decorate your own office."

Building 63 is currently the tallest building in South Korea. It is located in Yeouido and sits on the bank of the Han River.The building is 249 meters high, with three floors underground, 60 floors below, and 63 floors on the top floor, hence the name of the building.

63 Tower, the tallest building in South Korea, was surpassed by Tower A of Mokdong Hyperion Center Phase [-] until next year.

This skyscraper was built in 1985 and was planned and built by Korea Life Insurance Company. It shows that insurance companies are very rich no matter which country they are in.

Many Korean variety shows have featured 63 Building. The scene where the Pooh couple in "We Got Married" first met was in the 63 Building. In "Infinite Challenge", Park Myung-soo accepted the challenge of cleaning the windows in the 63 Building.Of course Park Myung Soo's glass is not as good as those ladies in the live broadcast room.

If Zhou Mengxian is imprisoned, Ashan Group will fall into a leaderless situation.Song Yi estimates that he will spend more time at Ashan Group in the next few months.

"Okay, I'll go over and have a look in two days. Let me see how the office area is. If possible, I would like to put a folding bed in the office to be ready for battle at any time." Song Yi said.

Zheng Enxuan may have thought differently, "He's talking nonsense again. It seems I have to find a male assistant for you so that you can be more honest."

Song Yi looked stunned. Before he could explain, the other brothers of the Zhou family arrived, Zhou Mengjiu, Zhou Mengengen, Zhou Mengzhun, Zhou Mengyun and Zhou Mengri, as well as Zhou Zhengyong's daughter Zhou Qingji.

Zhou Zhengyong's four surviving brothers and Zhou Xiyong, his only surviving sister, also rushed to the hospital. The hospital was filled with relatives of the Zhou family.Zhou Zhengyong's male relatives all wore black suits and two-pole filial piety badges on their arms, while his female relatives wore white filial piety uniforms, white blouses, white skirts, and even white shoes.

In fact, the traditional Korean mourning clothes are white. The reason why we see Korean funerals wearing black mourning clothes in movies and TV dramas is actually influenced by Japan.South Korea was colonized by Japan for 35 years. In 1934, the North Korean Governor-General promulgated the "Code of Etiquette" to regulate Korean weddings and funerals.

According to Korean tradition, the two lines of Xiaozhang represent close relatives, and one line represents distant relatives or friends.For example, Li Bingkui, as Zhou Zhengyong's secretary general, wears a black filial piety badge with a line.

After Kim Jonghyun of the SHINee group passed away, the other four members of the group all wore two black lines of mourning badges to express their brotherly friendship with Kim Jonghyun.

Zhou Shiyong said to Zhou Mengjiu: "If my eldest brother passes away, then we will publish an obituary to the media. Hyundai Motor, Hyundai Group, Asan Group, and other subsidiaries will all publish it on their official websites."

The men of the Zhou family discussed it and decided to set up a funeral committee for Zhou Zhengyong, with Zhou Mengjiu as the chairman.

The list of the funeral committee includes the first generation of the Zhou family, second brother Zhou Renyong, chairman of Halla Group; third brother Zhou Shunyong, chairman of Xingyu Group; fourth brother Zhou Shiyong, chairman of Hyundai Industrial Development Group; sixth brother Zhou Xiangyong, chairman of KCC Group .
The second generation of the Zhou family: Zhou Mengjiu, Chairman of Hyundai Motor Group; Zhou Menggen, Chairman of Hyundai Department Store; Zhou Mengxian; Zhou Mengzhun, Chairman of Hyundai Group; Zhou Mengyun, Chairman of Hyundai Marine Fire Insurance; Zhou Mengil, Chairman of Hyundai Corporate Finance.
It is worth noting that Zheng Enxuan, as the chairman of Asan Group, and Song Yi, as the executive director of Asan Group, both appear on the list of the funeral committee.

Zheng Eunxuan is the only female family member included in the funeral committee list, and Song Yi is the only third-generation member of the modern family.

Zhou Zhengyong’s fifth brother Zhou Xinyong passed away in 62, and Zhou Zhengyong established the Xinyong Research Foundation in his name.Zhou Xinyong’s widow Zhang Zhenzi has been serving as the chairman of the Modern College.

The reason why Song Yi asked Zhou Shulan to come to South Korea to recognize her relatives was to be on the list of Zhou Zhengyong's funeral committee.

As mentioned before, Zhou Zhengyong's funeral is a social gathering for celebrities in South Korea's political and business circles. The list of Zhou Zhengyong's funeral committee is naturally the core figure of the modern family, which is also a display of power.

If Song Yi was not the key figure connecting Song Yuxi and the Hyundai family, he would not be qualified to be on the funeral committee list just by virtue of his position as executive director of Asan Group and president of New Asia Entertainment.

Didn’t you see that none of Zhou Mengjiu’s cousins ​​were included in the funeral committee list?At the funeral, Zhou Mengxian also took Zheng Enxuan and Song Yi to get to know the delegation from the north of the peninsula, as well as representatives from relevant government departments.

In fact, there is a trick to ranking the funeral committee. They are not ranked according to seniority, but according to the company's assets. Zhou Mengjiu, Zhou Mengzhun, Zhou Mengxian & Zheng Enxuan are ranked at the top, and Song Yi is ranked at the bottom. The person in front of him happens to be displeased with Song Yi. Zhou Mengri.

Ashan Hospital has begun to decorate Zhou Zhengyong's mourning hall, where Zhou Zhengyong's relatives will welcome guests who come to mourn and prepare meals for them.

Many media reporters have gathered outside the hospital, armed with various guns and cannons. Zhou Zhengyong's death is the focus of the incident on the peninsula.

They are concerned about whether a delegation will be sent from the north of the peninsula, who will be in the delegation and who will lead it.After all, before this, the North had never sent a high-level delegation to visit South Korea.

In addition, they want to see who Samsung, LG, SK, Lotte, Hanjin, and Doosan send to attend the funeral to judge the quality of the relationship between the Hyundai family and other chaebol families.

After all, Zhou Zhengyong belongs to a generation of chaebols and was once the richest man in South Korea. His seniority is only matched by Samsung founder Chen Byung-cheol.Now the other chaebol presidents are juniors in front of Zhou Zhengyong.

It would undoubtedly be disrespectful if the Samsung family only sent Chen Jae-yong to attend Zhou Zhengyong’s funeral.This is the contempt the Samsung family has for the Hyundai family.

On the morning of the 24th, Hyundai Motor, Hyundai Group, Asan Group, and other Hyundai subsidiaries released Zhou Zhengyong’s obituary on their official website:
Mr. Zhou Zhengyong, the founder of Hyundai Group and the founder of Hyundai Group, passed away at 20:07 yesterday evening at the age of 86.

Mr. Zhou Zhengyong advocates "creation, pioneering, perseverance and diligence", which is the precious modern spirit he left us.

He was not only an outstanding business leader, but also a pioneer in promoting peace between the North and the South.

The obituary concluded with the location of the funeral and a list of the modern family's funeral committee.

If the media conference held at the Hyundai Group headquarters on March 3 was Song Yi's first appearance to the Korean public as a member of the Hyundai family, then the announcement of the funeral committee list once again confirmed that Song Yi is already a core member of the Hyundai family. .

The Federation of Korean Businessmen, South Korea’s largest business conglomerate, even called the president to request a state funeral for Zhou Zhengyong.Commentators from South Korea's KBS, MBC and SBS are also seriously discussing whether Zhou Zhengyong is qualified for a state funeral.

After Zhong Heng, the representative director of Au Entertainment Agency, saw the list of the funeral committee announced in the media, he became a little angry, "Damn it, who are you trying to scare by such a big fight!" He knew very well that Song Hye Kyo's termination of the contract could not be delayed any longer. Got down
