Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

＜ Instant route map ＞

I chuckled.

‘Could the old mayor have accidentally handed over such an offer? I don’t think so.’

Wouldn’t it be better if Tae-seong and Woo-gwang were summoned to the mayor’s office and secretly made an offer?

‘I brought a map of subway line 2, which can be said to be top-secret information, to such a public place. Common sense makes no sense. How are you going to take care of that?’

How did people react when it seemed that Tae-seong was going to take on the construction of subway line 2 earlier?

When it seemed that the investor was going to be offered a settlement, everyone flocked to ask about the investment.

Even after witnessing such a situation, Mayor Gu pretended to take out a map of subway line 2.

This was a goal with a lot of political and strategic calculations.

‘It’s a typical corporate taming.’

After all, the answer is already decided.

The former mayor has already made a plan, and intends to carry it out as it is.

I even said it out loud.

– The budget that can be thrown out by the government is fixed. What if Taeseong’s plan isn’t groundbreaking and outstanding? We have no choice but to follow the tabletop administration we have planned.

That is the authority of the former mayor, the will of the Blue House, and the direction of budget execution.

At this point, Mayor Koo intends to flatten the construction company’s nose and put an end to even the ridicule and dissatisfaction of tabletop administration.

‘It must have been a suggestion given to me, confident that a single construction company would not be able to draw a subway map in just a week outside the old market.’

If it had been easy, my father would not have hardened his expression, and Hyunmoo Construction President Oh would not have dismissed it as an absurd request.

Since the budget and deadline are set, there are too many things to consider and calculate separately.

In addition, the time to prepare a bidding estimate and construction plan with less than a month left.

It is only natural that the number of people involved in drawing up the subway map will be drastically reduced.

Therefore, there is a very high probability that they will come with a meager route map or come empty-handed.

‘It’s blatant calculation, and it’s a troublesome trick. I don’t think I need to work long.’

Wouldn’t it be better for us to firmly drive in a wedge before Mayor Koo makes a proposal to Wookwang Construction?

If I draw a route map for subway line 2, there will be no reason for my father and the people at Taesung Construction to gather together for a week.

Good?

‘If it’s a snow stamp that needs to be taken, it’s best to do it on the day, definitely, and hotly.’

Already, Mayor Koo used the word ‘young’ several times when he saw his father.

It implicitly revealed a bit of unreliability in this floor where experience and experience are given priority.

‘It’s better to be acknowledged than ignored.’

It is a major project that must be carried out hand and foot together for as long as five years.

If the decision maker and supervisor sees the construction company under their eyes and lashes out at every opportunity, everything becomes very tiring.

‘Rather, it went well.’

What if Taeseong drew a map of subway line 2 similar to what Mayor Gu had envisioned?

As the old mayor said, construction experts with the same goal and the same direction will emerge.

So how will the old market react?

Can I ignore Taeseong’s ability and my father’s youth in the future?

‘But there’s just one problem here.’

If it was trivial, it was also a very trivial matter.

‘Where do I get a map of Seoul right now?’

You don’t need a map of Seoul to draw a subway map!

I raised my head and looked around.

This is the event venue of the Hyunmoo Hotel.

It reminded me of the information desk in the hotel lobby.

‘Is there a tourist map of Seoul at the front desk? Or at least use the map of Seoul.’

It wasn’t a time when many foreigners came in and out, so I don’t know if the hotel front desk had a tourist map, but since there was no navigation, everyone drove while looking at a map book.

I walked across the hall with a commanding stride.

* * *

“young master!”

When I came out of the hall, Yoo Jong-tae and the Taesung group bodyguards ran to me with delight.

“Brother, why did you come all the way here? Do you have leg pain?”

“Oh, my hands are frozen. Please put on my fur gloves.”

“Your cheeks are red. Aren’t you feverish?”

One of Taesung Group’s bodyguards carefully massaged my limbs, and another placed a hand on my forehead.

“There were no eggs on the legs. A crab that is as soft as rice cake…”

“Fortunately, I don’t have a fever. The blush on your cheeks… can I touch your cheeks just once?”

“Uh-huh, how dare you talk about newcomers. You’re falling behind, man.”

Suddenly, Yoo Jong-tae defeated the bodyguards and stood at the forefront.

“There are no tear marks around the eyes, and no chocolate marks around the mouth. great.”

Yoo Jong-tae smirked and smiled as usual.

“Judging by the courageous and stern expression, it is certain that he is our young master. Don’t you need comfort or encouragement? My arms are very wide and warm. Now, come in here.”

“That’s Okay. I will politely decline. Anyway, why are you all gathered here?”

“You said you came from Woogwang, right? I was waiting here for a while to prepare for any emergency.”

It was after Tae-sung decided to break up his marriage with Woo-gwang.

All the bodyguards of Taesung Group knew that.

It seems that they were waiting for fear that a fight might break out inside the venue.

“Bocchan, did you eat something inside?”

“Finally, very coincidentally, by chance, there is Eundan and Puffed Rice. Would you like some?”

“I prepared a fire extinguisher for children in case they would suffocate in the stuffy atmosphere.”

At that time, Jong-tae Yoo took a drink bottle out of his pocket and held it out.

“Boss, there is no hot bread, but there is lukewarm soy milk. You should eat something like this when your hands are cold.”

“thank you. I will eat well.”

I obediently accepted the courtesy of Yoo Jong-tae and the bodyguards of the Taesung Group.

The Taesung Group bodyguards blinked their eyes.

“Hoppang and soy milk…. memo······.”

“Wait a minute, Team Leader Yu! Which is better, lukewarm soy milk or warm soy milk?”

growl!

An embarrassing sound came from somewhere.

I ate some of the finger food my father brought me earlier.

growl! growl!

It wasn’t a sound coming from my stomach either.

When I looked up, the Taesung Group bodyguards awkwardly touched the back of my head and cleared my throat.

“You haven’t even had dinner until now?”

“…”

“What time is it? Go inside and have something to eat.”

Taesung Group bodyguards hurriedly waved their hands.

“We cannot go inside.”

“It’s okay, Bocchan. It’s dinner, you can eat it later.”

“We will eat after the event. We even received beef dinner tickets as a reward.”

Suddenly, I remembered the president of Woo Kwang Construction, who ran rampant to pull out the big men of the previous era who dominated Korea’s underground finance, talking about grades and topics.

I could see why there were so many big men hanging around here.

It could be a secretary, a driver, or a bodyguard.

‘You’re really childish. Who is the man and who is the s*x worker?’

He forgot that even the richest tycoons of the past could not afford bodyguards or chauffeurs when they were trying to get rid of them.

“Then let’s do it now, beef dinner!”

I took out a 100,000 won cashier’s check from my coin purse.

Cashier’s checks of 100,000 won were the highest denomination and were often used by wealthy people.

It was the money that fell to me while robbing the former president of Taesung Construction.

“It’s a job that says let’s eat and live, but it’s so sad to work overtime while starving.”

“young master······.”

“Do you remember how my mother got angry when she heard that Mr. Cheolgu was starving? Go ahead and eat some beef.”

“No, Bocchan. We are fine.”

“I heard that the steak at Hyunmu Hotel restaurant is so delicious? Have it with expensive and good wine.”

“The event isn’t over yet…”

“The event is hosted by Hyeonmu, not Taeseong. You don’t have to worry about an unexpected fight anymore. My grandfather and the chairman of the Wookwang Group went out drinking together.”

I laughed.

“If we had to prepare for an emergency, wouldn’t it be okay to take turns eating dinner? I’m on duty, so I only drink one glass of wine.”

There is no hwachae bowl to use as a drinking cup here.

“Bocchan, you don’t have to do this. How can we pay such a large amount of money…”

“It’s because I’m grateful for helping my dad with his work every day from early in the morning until late at night. I really wanted to treat you to a delicious dinner.”

Five cashier’s checks for 100,000 won, a total of 500,000 won!

At that time, the monthly salary of the minister was 250,000 won, and the salary of the prime minister was 350,000 won.

“And today, for the first time, I was recognized as a member of Taeseongga in front of people. I’m so happy about that, so I’m going to buy you a celebratory drink.”

“ah······!”

“If you’re refusing the dinner I buy because you don’t want to celebrate…”

Taesung group bodyguards quickly waved their hands and spoke urgently.

“No, Bocchan. Let’s party! Beef banquet, must do!”

“I was on the verge of starving to death! I want to eat it right now, long live beef!”

“I heard that our young master officially became a member of Taeseongga, so of course I should congratulate him. I’ll even pop the champagne!”

I handed out the cashier’s check to Yoo Jong-tae.

“Change is a tip.”

The bodyguards of Taesung Group spoke with very happy faces as if to ask the people around them to listen.

“Did you see it? You are already so big and hot! This is our Taeseong’s youngest son, Bocchan!”

The people who were hanging around coughed and pretended not to know.

Looking at the cashier’s check for 100,000 won that Yoo Jong-tae was holding open like a fan, he showed a look of envy.

There were people who licked their lips, and there were people who were talking about something else.

I took out a 10,000 won bill from my coin purse again.

“It’s cold and chilly, so please buy plenty of hot coffee and snacks and give it back to them.”

The hotel lobby door is wide open and there is only one kerosene stove burning, so it seems too chilly compared to the inside of the hall.

“uh······?”

“Will you take care of us too?”

It was a bewildered expression.

Either that or not.

I slowly nodded my head.

“Chief Yoo, could I get a map or map book of Seoul?”

“A map of Seoul?”

“Yes, I was curious because my dad is doing construction. I’m going to take it inside and see it.”

“Hey, newcomer!”

Yoo Jong-tae threw the car key out of his pants pocket.

The bodyguard, who was clearly young at first glance, suddenly received the car keys.

“Get me some atlases lying around in the backseat of my car.”

“Yes, I understand. But it’s completely yellow because of the cigarettes. Would it be okay?”

What can I do? I should write something like that as soon as possible.

It’s not like I’m going to put gold on a map that I’m going to show you for a while.

“does not matter. If you have a red felt-tip pen or marker, I’ll ask for that too.”

“Yes, I will be back soon.”

Taesung Group’s new bodyguard rushed over.

However, a well-dressed man raised his hand.

“I happen to have a pretty big map of Seoul. If this is okay.”

It was a high-quality, well-wrapped gift map.

I’m a man who doesn’t hesitate to give a favor first.

“Chief Yoo, he wants to join the steak together!”

“All right. Secretary Jang of Keumjo Group, would you be able to join us?”

“Sorry, but that sounds difficult. I will only be grateful for the favor.”

I’m not the type to take off a debt of favor and gratitude.

“Then you should get the price for the map. thank you.”

I stabbed my thick sincerity into his suit pocket.

“…”

He couldn’t hide his strange expression.

Yoo Jong-tae smiled and bowed his back.

“Bocchan, is there anything else you need?”

“Secretary Kim.”

“Aha, Secretary Kim, you went up to the Hyunmu Hotel bar right now, right? Just because the president said he was selling deodeokju.”

“Could you tell Secretary Kim to give me a minute?”

“I’ll be right back.”

Just as the newcomer panted, he brought a map book and a red felt-tip pen.

“thank you. You worked hard.”

I put my hands together and saluted my belly button.

“…?”

For some reason, it feels like everyone in the lobby is paying attention to this side.

Either that or not.

Anyway, I’m going to go into the bathroom avoiding people’s eyes and draw a map of subway line 2.

3 minutes is enough!

* * *

Secretary Kim entered the hall.

I found my father and strode towards it.

My father was chain-smoking on the terrace alone and ran into Secretary Kim.

“Brother, I brought you a present.”

“gift? Are you saying this out of the blue?”

“This is the proposal that Mayor Gu asked for. Submit and finish before Mayor Gu goes home.”

“…!”

My father looked at Secretary Kim with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

“Less than 20 minutes have passed since I received the offer. Will that work?”

“What else can’t be done?”

Secretary Kim waved the finely folded map.

My father’s eyes also flickered whenever the map was shaken.

“Stop, no way…”

“Then shall we go? Read this and be aware as you go.”

Secretary Kim also held out a piece of paper with letters written on it.

“What else is that?”

“You should be able to answer Mayor Gu’s question, right?”

“…?”

To be honest, it took me longer to write that down than to draw the subway map.
