Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

＜ Golden Papers ＞

Chairman Kim limped toward President Kim of Wookwang Construction.

Each step he took with a cane was heavy.

Chairman Kim’s voice was heavier than that.

“President Cha said that he intended to take only the child and raise it and send the mother back. But in the meantime, he found out about someone’s tricks and decided to throw out his sister and end his marriage with my daughter.”

Chairman Kim’s eyes were pierced like blades.

“Why did you do that?”

Wookwang Construction President Kim kept his mouth shut.

Instead, I racked my brain hard as to what excuse I should make to get things settled safely.

“Don’t make noise. tell me what it is What does this have to do with you?”

how far should i say

The mouth did not come off easily.

“What else made the Japanese technical advisor go back to Japan? Why did you say that you would never do business with Woo-gwang again?”

“That’s because Taeseong was doing a handful in the middle…”

“What tricks?”

There’s nothing left to say again.

Taeseong must have played some trick on the Japanese.

I have a heart attack, but no physical symptoms.

“A misunderstanding in the middle…”

“What misunderstanding?”

Wookwang Construction President Kim couldn’t answer.

He even missed a conversation with a Japanese.

“Yesterday’s New Year’s Eve. What about those cold eyes that government officials sent to Woo-gwang?”

“that······.”

“Do you know how many complaints I’ve received before me?”

“sorry. That’s later…”

“I can’t explain this properly.”

Chairman Kim pulled down his tie.

“I think I ruined my daughter’s marriage, ruined relations with political figures, ruined technology agreements, and ruined the construction of subway line 2.”

Chairman Kim began to roll the loosened tie around his fist.

“Do I have to look at a guy who can’t even explain properly and just rolls his eyeballs at the thought of making an excuse?”

Chairman Kim clenched his fist with the tie wrapped around it.

Wookwang Construction President Kim was terrified and stepped back.

“Sir, I can explain!”

“shut up.”

“It’s all nothing! The bidding for the construction of subway line 2 has not even started yet…”

f*ck!

President Kim of Wookwang Construction turned his head at Chairman Kim’s fist.

Chairman Kim threw his fist at Wookwang Construction President Kim, holding him by the collar.

f*ck! puck! baek!

Blood splattered, saliva splattered, and a dull sound splattered.

Instead of confronting his brother, Kim, CEO of Wookwang Construction, fell flat on the floor.

“The construction of subway line 2 will definitely be followed by Woo Kwang! You know, I’m the kind of guy who somehow creates and brings results!”

Chairman Kim’s fist stopped.

Wookwang Construction President Kim desperately shouted.

“No matter what the process is, isn’t it enough to prove it with the result! As long as business is good, everything else can be taken care of!”

Chairman Kim’s cold eyes pierced the back of Wookwang Construction President Kim’s head.

“The subway that runs through Seoul! 180 billion won construction! If you shake the Congo thing called subway station and Chevyji, political figures will never turn their backs on Woo-gwang!”

Woo Kwang Construction President Kim shouted as if vomiting blood.

“I will prove it with my skills, and I will take responsibility for the results! It’s never too late to ask for responsibility after a total failure! The construction of subway line 2, please trust and leave it to us!”

A heavy silence fell.

Even my breathing was heavy, and I could hear the ticking of the clock on the wall.

“Do you want me to trust you by ruining things like this and blindly covering it up?”

It was a cold voice.

“You bastard said that you couldn’t tell the difference yesterday, and you still haven’t come to your senses.”

Chairman Kim loosened his leather belt this time.

Wookwang Construction President Kim became contemplative.

“The decision maker for the construction of subway line 2 is the former mayor! The person in charge of management and supervision is also Mayor Gu!”

Chairman Kim’s hand, which had raised the belt, stopped abruptly.

Wookwang Construction CEO Kim exclaimed urgently.

“No matter what political figures say, whether Taeseong turned their backs on them, whether the marriage was broken, or whether investment money was poured into Taeseong, nothing has been decided yet! The person who decides that is the old mayor! If Mayor Gu agrees with Wu Guang, the game is over!”

Wookwang Construction CEO Kim spoke faster.

“I will do my best to grill and boil the old market first, regardless of means and methods! With more than 15 days left until the bidding for the construction of subway line 2, it is still too early to give up! It’s not over until it’s over!”

Wow Jangchang!

Chairman Kim tossed his belt and smashed a flower pot by the window.

Fragments of white pottery and soil grains splattered in a dizzying fashion.

“go away.”

“Go, thank you, brother!”

“Chief Song, take this bastard out immediately.”

“Yes, Chairman!”

Wookwang Group bodyguards approached the president of Wookwang Construction.

“I’m going back to my feet… Eh! Let go of this, you bastards! Whoops!”

Wookwang Construction President Kim was dragged out.

bang!

The door to the Wookwang Group chairman’s office was closed.

When the bodyguards of Wookwang Group loosened up and left, President Kim of Wookwang Construction stumbled and fell to the floor.

“Damn it.”

Cursing came out of nowhere.

My teeth were grinding and my fists were getting stronger.

Secretary Choi, who was waiting outside the door of the president’s office, approached with a surprised expression and held out a handkerchief.

“Boss, blood…!”

“sh*t!”

Wookwang Construction President Kim wiped off the blood with a handkerchief.

The corner of his mouth was cracked, and the nosebleed did not stop.

“I must win the subway line 2 construction no matter what. If you don’t, you’ll look like you’re falling behind me right away.”

If he couldn’t win the construction of subway line 2, he could see what his brother would do.

I was afraid of that, so I tried to boil it by giving bribes to high-ranking government officials.

“In the first place, I didn’t think that I would win with Taesung and my skills. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that you win a project just because you have the skills. The world goes back to the logic of strength and weakness anyway. If necessary, you can press it with force.”

Wookwang Construction CEO Kim jumped up and walked.

Secretary Choi followed and asked anxiously.

“Boss, what are you planning to do?”

“Let’s go to City Hall.”

“City Hall?”

“I have to meet the old mayor. I have nothing to fear as long as I can attract Mayor Koo to my side.”

“Until now, we have not been able to penetrate the old market even with bribery and pressure. Will that be possible now?”

“I heard that Mayor Koo is under a lot of stress due to the recent reroute of subway line 2. He said he didn’t like the route conceived by former Seoul Mayor Yang Taek-seok and would completely scrap it. You have to dig into that gap.”

The more he was in a hurry, the faster he walked.

“We should assume the position of a construction company that agrees with the former mayor. We need to look in the same direction as Mayor Gu, dream the same dream, and propose a joint cooperation to work together.”

“A joint collaboration?”

“If a construction company with rich field experience participates from the time the route map is decided, trial and error can be reduced and the political burden can be shared. If you’re a former mayor with a passion for politics, you’ll be shocked.”

Wookwang Construction President Kim clenched his fists.

“Actually, it doesn’t matter if I can’t lure the old market right away. We have a last resort.”

Wookwang Construction President Kim had a corner to believe.

Sseuseuk.

Wookwang Construction President Kim and Secretary Choi were followed by something like dark and transparent smoke.

It was because I was ordered to closely monitor the year-end night event as soon as it was over.

This was Cha Jung-hyeok’s hidden card, a corner to believe in.

* * *

I watched the scene sent by the grim reaper well.

I thought while lying on the bed at the Hyunmu Hotel.

‘Hmm, it’s certain that the president of Woo Kwang Construction believes in something. What is it? If it’s the last way to win the subway construction even if you can’t lure the old mayor…’

There is something to catch up on.

‘Is it also a Taesung chemical fire accident?’

23 people died in the accident, and 166 people were taken to the hospital.

The president, who was very angry at the enormous loss of life and property, called the grandfather to the Blue House.

After that, the grandfather had to apologize to the public, and established the Taeseong Foundation by donating 3 billion won of his own money.

In a sense of self-reflection, he temporarily stepped down from his position as chairman, and the construction of subway line 2 was transferred to Woogwang.

rustle.

I took out a small, well-folded piece of paper from my coin purse.

It was a statement written by Mr. Cheol-gu in his own handwriting.

It is an unusual species to see again that the golden light is still shining.

‘Hey, guardian deity.’

[······why?]

‘Let’s dig behind the Taesung Chemical suspects listed here.’

[Prying around that sneaky and mean guy?]

‘I can’t miss him either.’

[How is your conscience? I think I’m going to die from overwork like this…]

‘Oh, is the grim reaper dying again? Did you learn something new?’

[I will not go.]

The grim reaper slowly disappeared.

As I was lying in bed all day, I couldn’t help but laugh.

My heart and body can’t be this comfortable.

Breakfast buffet in the morning, hotel Japanese food for lunch, hotel western food for dinner.

“This is a staycation. Oh, good.”

There is no such thing as a good unemployed person to sell.

This is the best thing about being a child.

I don’t have to get up and go to work after rubbing my eyes while others are commuting.

You don’t have to worry about your meals under the protection of your parents.

There is no risk of life being entangled in fights over money, swords, territory, or power.

“It’s so nice that a child’s job is to eat well, sleep well, and play well.”

In fact, in the past, I only wanted to grow up and become an adult.

The money a child can earn is as much as the tears of ants.

‘The world of back alleys. The life of a child without a guardian was very harsh.’

I had to sell gum, pickpocket, beg, or at least look out for bullies and hoodlums.

Since he did not have a home, he often slept in subway stations or parks, and in winter, he secretly hid in warehouses or boiler rooms, and there were many days when he was caught and ran away.

‘It was a life that could not survive without begging for favors from others. Every day of my childhood was miserable and dirty.’

It’s a time when the more I think about it, the more I get sick of it.

I don’t want to go through that terrible thing twice.

‘But it’s different now. My parents are all alive, I eat and sleep at the hotel, and I’m just loafing around while my mother is getting a massage.’

I’m not working, I’m just lying around, and no one’s hitting me!

Wow, this is heaven itself!

It was an unimaginable life in the back alley.

‘Still, I’m on the side of being able to breathe a little more while working under Master.’

What did Master say when he saw me searching through the trash can for something to eat?

– Tsk tsk, you’re such a bad looking guy. At first glance, are you trying to pick up and eat the bread that has been sprayed with rat poison? follow me

– In elementary school, you have to learn writing and arithmetic to use something. Why are you messing with your nice hair like this?

Thanks to that, I was able to enter elementary school, albeit late.

It was thanks to Master stabbing me in the back and providing a fake family register.

Until then, there were many gaps before the resident registration or family registration system was fully established.

Officials wrote it by hand, and there were quite a few people who missed it.

Jump!

I got up from my seat.

My body is comfortable, so I have a lot of useless thoughts.

If you get hit by a cold wind, you’ll wake up.

“A walk is a good way to change your mood!”

The garden of Hyunmu Hotel was quite pretty with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and well-maintained trails and gardens.

When I saw it last night, I thought I wanted to look around one more time during the daytime.

I put on my coat and came down to the first floor of the hotel.

‘uh······?’

I was surprised to see a familiar face entering the lobby of the Hyunmu Hotel.

‘Master!’

Why did a nobleman who should be in a pawnshop come here at this hour?

‘······uh?’

Golden light was emanating from the paper bag Master was holding.
