Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

Chapter 8

＜ Winner ＞

The mother let out a scream of joy.

“Jung Hyuk! Oh my God, this… Oops!”

“Mom, be quiet.”

I shut my mother’s mouth and warned her.

“There are shantytown people outside.”

My mother asked with her eyes, as if what was the matter.

“Those people, what would happen if they found out that the 10 million won first prize lottery ticket was here?”

Mother tilted her head.

“Forcible demolition is right around the corner. It will roll your eyes.”

Only then did the mother’s complexion change.

“i know. that they are good people But right now, they are people driven to the edge of a precipice. They are people with families to protect.”

I know very well.

How people on the edge of a cliff behave.

It was commonplace in the back alley world.

Even people who normally put on nice faces turn a blind eye when they reach the end.

“It would be fortunate if he didn’t come to me at night with a knife. At that time, do you have the confidence to protect this lottery ticket?”

Mother shook her head.

“So let’s keep quiet until everyone leaves. The thought is next. OK?”

Mother nodded.

I then removed the hand that had covered my mouth.

“There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”

The eyes of my mother looking at me strangely deepened.

It was then.

“Jeonghyeok’s mother.”

The mother looked back in surprise.

The shadows of adults were reflected through the aluminum sash door with opaque glass.

I quickly put the lottery ticket into my mother’s cardigan pocket.

Before Mom could open the door, the aluminum sash slid open.

“What happen?”

“No, just. I’m a bit worried.”

Neighborhood women poked their heads through the door and looked around.

In words, he says he came because he was worried, but with his eyes he scans to see if there are any items of value.

“It wasn’t a thief, was it?”

“Have you lost anything? For example, jewelry or bankbooks.”

I appreciate your concern, but I took all the valuables right away.

“Ugh, there’s no such thing as cold bones here.”

“Didn’t the landlord’s grandmother say she couldn’t fix the boiler? It didn’t seem like he was calling anyone.”

“Looks like I haven’t even found a house to move into.”

“Don’t you need a lot of money to pay the monthly rent with the deposit? how much are you holding If Jeong-hyeok was my mother, I would have saved quite a bit by selling vegetables.”

“There won’t be anywhere to sleep right now. If you’re in trouble, come to my house. I’ll give you a cheap room. Our briquette boiler is in full swing.”

“If it’s the same price, come over to my house. I can even make breakfast for you!”

The mother couldn’t hide her embarrassment at the competition of the ajummas that caught fire out of nowhere.

At that time, the voices of grown men came from the front yard.

It was a urge to go home.

“We’ll go.”

“Jeonghyeok’s mother, rest well. ”

The people who had gathered in the front yard of the landlord’s grandmother and watched the lottery draw amicably disappeared in an instant like the ebb tide.

“…”

Mother seemed to have many thoughts.

I held my mother’s hand.

“Mom, we are moving. How about Apgujeong Hyunmu Apartment?”

“Hyeonmu Apartment?”

The Apgujeong commercial district is expected to see a vertical rise in land prices in the near future.

But the look in my mother’s eyes as she looked at me earlier made me feel bad.

“You appear on TV a lot. Come to Apgujeong~♬ I like Hyunmu Apartment~♬”

So I deliberately sang a CM song like a child.

My mother smiled and stroked my hair.

“I like the Chunma Apartment.”

“Are you talking about the Daechi-dong Chunma Apartment?”

“In Cheonma~♬ Good school~♬ Good school~♬ New apartment in the new city~♬”

school district is good

That means that apartment prices will not fall thanks to parents who are passionate about education.

I clenched my fists with my bracken hands and smiled.

“I will study hard and go to university.”

After looking at the bankbook my mother made for college tuition.

I wanted to fulfill my mother’s wishes.

I was so busy making a living that I had to give up school, which was also a part of it.

“The best university in Korea! how is it?”

“Then it’s great.”

Mother stroked my hair with a look of great delight.

Mother muttered softly to herself.

“Yes, our Jeong-hyeok has to go to elementary school soon, and if he wants to go to university later…”

I haven’t registered my birth yet, so I haven’t even been listed in the family register.

“If something happens to me like yesterday, then what about our Jeong-hyeok, who will be left alone?”

It was a determined voice.

So I quietly asked.

“Mom, what is my dad’s name?”

The only chaebol family in Korea that uses the Cha family name is Taesung Group.

Another one.

The number I saw in my mother’s notebook was the home phone number of the head of Taesung Group.

“My father’s name is Cha Seong-jun. For the Cha family name, write the last name and the given name.”

For the first time, I got to know the three letters of my father’s name properly.

I felt strange.

‘Was my father the youngest son of Taesung Group? I decided to accept Taesung Construction?’

Before sweeping past Taesung Group stocks.

From the family tree of the family to the group’s inside story, the information was scraped together as much as possible.

Taesung Construction was the responsibility of Cha Seong-joon, the youngest.

‘Taesung Construction has grown rapidly since the mid-1970s by winning orders from overseas construction companies in the Middle East. That was my father’s skill.’

My father said he couldn’t come because he was in the Middle East.

It seems it wasn’t a lie.

‘If there’s just something that gets stuck…’

smart.

It was the second knock.

“Hmmm, if you don’t mind, could you come over to my house for a minute? mother is calling He said he has something to tell you.”

It was a call from the landlord’s grandmother.

“Kid, have you finished eating? Shall we play with you in the meantime?”

Anyway, that nobleman strikes a candle at an important time.From noble mtl dot com

Naturally, the corners of his eyes toward Mr. Cheolgu became sharp.

But my mother pushed me on the back.

“Okay, follow me uncle. Mom will talk to the owner’s grandmother for a while.”

“… that’s right.”

Because there was something I wanted to ask.

I put on the new sneakers that Mr. Cheolgu bought me.

As soon as we arrived at the backyard, Mr. Cheol-gu immediately asked.

“Little boy, how did this happen?”

“What?”

I pretended not to know, but in fact there was something I could guess.

“So how much did you win?”

“Oh, how did you know? Are you a fortune teller?”

As I deliberately narrowed my eyes, Mr. Cheol-gu scratched the back of his head.

“It was worth 1 million won.”

It was a gilded lottery ticket?

That’s a lot more money than you think.

The compensation for the demolition of the shantytown is only 100,000 won.

So I was able to smile proudly.

“Good for you.”

“How did you buy this? No way I knew in advance that this would win… No, does this make sense? It can’t be. Huh, true…”

Mr. Cheol-gu let out a blank laugh, as if he was dumbfounded even thinking about it.

I shrugged.

The uncle handed me the winning lottery ticket.

“ruler. Take this back.”

“Leave it. You gave it to your uncle. service.”

“You really want me to take this?”

“Then did the man take it away in a mean way?”

“That’s… that’s why I’m not the style of ripping off kids…”

“Did you use it as an extra for moving out?”

Mr. Cheol-gu made a puzzled expression.

“Then you’re not moving and you’re going to keep going like this? What if the demolition squad breaks in while the owner of the house is alone? You’re old, what are you going to do if you get hurt?”

“That will never happen!”

“It’s good to oppose demolition, and it’s all good to hold out. Even if we fight when we fight, we have to fight after evacuating my family to a safe place. Moving comes first.”

“okay. I should.”

Iron Man nodded his head obediently.

“Hmm, where should I go? Maybe Jongno or Euljiro…”

“Let’s go to Gangnam.”

The old man looked back at me with round eyes.

“The government is actively pushing for Gangnam development. Don’t you know when you see the relocation of government offices and prestigious high schools to Gangnam? Land prices will definitely rise.”

Buy it when it’s cheap.

Don’t regret hitting the ground later.

“Are you really seven years old?”

how come

I deliberately changed the subject.

“Mister, you have that document. Wookwang Construction.”

“Ugh! Did you forget that?”

“How are you planning to use it?”

How the hell did you write that a person called a court agent was tortured and died in the courtyard?

“You don’t have to know, little ones.”

I inscribed the word patience (忍) into my heart.

‘You can’t escape the death of a dog if you act recklessly, man. You died just like that.’
