The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 274



Only Noblemtl

Only after the body search was thoroughly completed did the Blue House security guard nod.

“Chairman Cha of Taesung Group and President Lee of Taesung Construction, please come inside.”

The Blue House security guards opened the door to the banquet hall.

There were at least 200 people gathered.

First, the group leaders and construction company presidents raised their eyes.

“Even Chairman Cha was called in.”

“Even Taesung Construction, the only company that escaped the collapse······ Ugh.”

Everyone’s eyes were heavy with worry and concern, and their expressions were stiff.

“Your Majesty, it seems, is very angry.”

“Even without that, His Majesty’s eyes on construction companies are already uneasy due to the construction stock market turmoil.”

“I heard that the military generals and high-ranking public officials involved in the Hyunmu Apartment preferential distribution scandal were taken to the prosecution.”

“If I’m not careful with this, I might end up in a funeral.”

More than just his skin, his voice was also rough and raspy.

Just like people who swallowed a handful of sand.

“How long has it been since the breaking news came out? To the point where you’re calling me for an emergency······.”

“That must mean you’re going through a lot.”

Every word was automatically followed by a sigh.

“This is a warning from His Majesty that if you keep making foolish remarks like Hyunmu Construction, you’ll get a bad rap.”

“It seems like they’ve decided to take this opportunity to tighten the military discipline of the conglomerates. There’s no way to avoid it.”

“If not, then there would be no reason to call everyone to the Blue House.”

The group leaders washed their faces repeatedly.

“There was apparently considerable opposition within the administration due to the real estate regulation policy.”

The president was already on edge ahead of the presidential election.

The ambitiously prepared regulatory policy aimed at winning public support has drawn a greater backlash than expected.

As the president, he must have been quite taken aback by the unexpected reaction.

“With the presidential election just around the corner, we are in a situation where we need to strengthen internal unity first.”

“If corruption and collusion between government and business were involved in the collapse of construction stocks, wouldn’t the angry public sentiment turn its arrows in that direction?”

“It seems that Your Majesty is taking this opportunity to crack down on the administration, the conglomerate military, and the public sentiment all at once.”

“How can we stop the construction stocks that have fallen to the bottom? This is just venting anger.”

This side is also equally angry.

The apartment business, which had been selling well, was put on hold due to sudden real estate regulations.

No, this wasn’t something that could be stopped at the brakes.

The construction stocks were falling steadily every day, living up to the word crash.

This was a disaster, an outrage.

“I’m afraid that if we continue like this, we’ll end up going bankrupt because of the construction company.”

“I’ll go all the way to Juldosan, but… it’s true that the damage will be enormous.”

Construction stocks were leading the stock market.

So the collapse of construction stocks caused other stocks to falter or even collapse.

“If construction stocks collapse, the national economy will collapse. Your Majesty will not stand by and watch that happen.”

“Your Majesty, you just wanted to stop real estate speculation. You didn’t intend to destroy the national economy and industry, did you?”

“So, I guess His Majesty has called in the top business groups to discuss this issue and come up with a plan to revive the stock market.”

Only then did the commanders’ faces lighten a little.

But the atmosphere upon returning was not at all good.

“Anyway, we need to appease Your Majesty.”

“Let’s overcome this crisis by helping each other out as much as we can and pushing each other as hard as we can.”

A place of collusion formed in an instant.

It was a determination and pledge to somehow find a way to survive.

Chairman Cha swallowed dry saliva.

‘It won’t be easy.’

The head of the central government had warned us in advance.

-You know what Your Majesty likes. For example, things like promoting national prestige, right?

-That way, when His Majesty starts to crack down on the conglomerates in earnest, he will have a justification to exclude Taesung.

Chairman Cha put his hands in his pockets.

The three-page contract that my grandson had prepared for me was caught.

Only then did I feel a little relieved.

‘How can I avoid punishment with this?’

When the executive meeting of all affiliates of Taesung Group was canceled and preparations were hurried to go to the Blue House.

The youngest grandson, Jeong-hyeok, came over and handed it to me.

-Take this. What better weapon can you have to deal with the President?

It was a contract to build Abu Dhabi International Airport.

-Isn’t this an issue that hasn’t been fully discussed yet?

-This is a planned game. The chaebols have started to be beaten up, so we can’t just stand there and do nothing.

-But the UAE wants large-caliber dot sights for tanks and machine guns······.

-So, we need to show this to the President.

Jeonghyeok said calmly.

-If we want to meet the conditions that the UAE wants, we need to establish diplomatic relations first.

-······.

Chairman Cha couldn’t help but feel astonished.

This is absolutely not possible at the level of private diplomacy······

-This is a problem that cannot be solved through private diplomacy.

-······!

Chairman Cha could only gape as he watched his youngest grandson match his thoughts like a ghost.

I’ve never heard anyone say that they couldn’t speak no matter where they went.

Strangely, I would often become speechless in front of Jeong-hyeok.

– Are you saying that the President needs to create a lot of noise and fuss about achievements and issues ahead of the presidential election?

Jeonghyeok said bluntly.

-Public sentiment is wavering ahead of the presidential election. The president will do whatever it takes to win over the public sentiment.

-That means······.

-We established diplomatic relations with oil-producing countries before North Korea. We exported military supplies there and received recognition for our defense technology. How is that? Is that something to be proud of?

-······!

Chairman Cha opened his mouth wide again.

-If Taesungdo adds a spoonful to the president’s greed, that’s it.

No words came to mind to refute.

-The president can boast about his diplomatic achievements, Korea can establish diplomatic relations with an oil-producing country, the UAE can gain a stable sales outlet and military supplies trading partner, and our Taesung can gain a wealthy customer. It’s a win-win-win deal, right?

Jeonghyeok smiled confidently.

-What do you think? Do you think the media will be noisy and excited about this and wrap it up nicely?

-ha ha ha!

Chairman Cha burst into laughter without realizing it.

How can you so concisely describe something that I had vaguely pictured in my head?

Jeonghyeok, this guy! He looks exactly like me!

That was the reason Chairman Cha couldn’t hold back his laughter and let it out.

-Yeah, I think this is more than enough to justify immunity.

-So, come back fighting. Okay?

Chairman Cha was moved to tears by Jeong-hyeok’s cute fighting spirit.

-Oh my, my precious baby!

I have four children.

There are three guys who just whine that it’s hard, that they need help, that they need money, and that they need support.

There’s this guy whose thoughts and life I have no idea about.

When I was so upset about work, there was no one who could put my mind at ease.

But what about this little, young grandson?

-Our Jeonghyeok is the best!

A guy who always comes up with amazing solutions whenever something difficult comes up!

Chairman Cha spun around while holding Jeong-hyeok in his arms.

At times like that, it feels like the world revolves around Jeong-hyeok, and that makes me sick.

-Hehehehe.

At times like this, the mature youngest grandson would be unable to hold back and would show a childish smile.

The big smile was so cute that Chairman Cha couldn’t help but laugh out loud again today

-Everything our Jeonghyeok says is right!

-We won a large construction project worth 300 million dollars, but if His Excellency the President refuses to establish diplomatic relations and we cannot promote national prestige, then there is nothing we can do about it.

-Of course!

In a place where the worries that had been weighing heavily on me suddenly disappeared.

The future, hope, and joy of Taesung that Jeonghyeok shows have taken root.

-Then have a nice trip.

-Okay, I’ll be back soon, Grandpa! Should I buy some Cheongwon-gak yakgwa on my way back?

-No, if I had to choose, I would prefer Hanwoojeong beef.

This cheeky guy.

Is it because I don’t think this old man knows why I specifically asked him to buy me Hanwoojeong beef?

-Okay! Our daughter-in-law likes Hanwoojeong beef.

-Grandpa is the best!

What is this tiny thumb saying?

Why do I feel so depressed?

Chairman Cha burst into laughter and hugged Jeong-hyeok tightly.

-My precious baby! My precious little one, whom I wouldn’t mind putting in my eyes!

Chairman Cha enjoyed the joy of harvest from his grandson’s farm, not from his children’s farm.

It was when Chairman Cha was unconsciously smiling in joyful thoughts.

Bam!

At that moment, the door to the Blue House banquet hall opened roughly.

The chief of security at the Blue House looked around the banquet hall with eyes that were filled with murder and venom.

Chairman Cha immediately adjusted his clothes and straightened his posture.

“Tsk.”

The chief of security at the Blue House furrowed his brow and made a face that clearly showed his displeasure.

The quiet murmurs suddenly stopped.

The chief of security at the Blue House shouted sharply.

“Woogwang Construction!”

“Yes? Yes, I am here.”

“Get that kid out.”

“Why, why are you doing this······ Ugh!”

The Blue House security guards immediately arrested the president of Wookwang Construction.

The president of Wookwang Construction was dragged away with his face turned pale.

Bam!

He was thrown as if he was slammed against a corner wall.

“CEO of Wookwang Group.”

“Woof woof!”

Wookwang Group Chairman Kim Dae-sik immediately got up from his seat and knelt on the floor.

“good.”

Bam!

The chief of security at the Blue House kicked the chair Kim Dae-sik was sitting in.

Then, he also stepped on the seat where the president of Wookwang Construction was sitting.

Until the wooden chair broke with a loud crash.

“······.”

Everyone held their breath at the violent outbursts that poured out without context.

The banquet hall at the Blue House became as quiet as a mouse.

Cold sweat ran down Kim Dae-sik’s forehead silently.

“Hyunmu Construction!”

“yes!”

Bam!

Hyunmu Construction CEO Oh stood up from his seat, lost in thought.

The same was true for Chairman Oh, CEO of Hyunmoo Group.

“Get out of the wall.”

“······yes.”

That was when.

“Your Majesty is entering.”

The president walked in, accompanied by the head of the Central Intelligence Agency and escorted by the Blue House security guards and Central Intelligence Agency agents.

Step, step, step, step.

Only the sound of shoes could be heard in the banquet hall at the Blue House.

Chairman Oh of Hyunmu Group and President Oh of Hyunmu Construction, who had gotten up to stick to the wall, were at a loss and didn’t know what to do.

It was when Chairman Oh of Hyunmu Group, who was over 70 years old, bowed politely to greet me.

“Your Majesty, how have you been······.”

slam!

Suddenly, a sword flew at me.

It was the work of the chief of security at the Blue House.

“Who gave you the right to speak?”

“sorry.”

“Didn’t you hear me telling you to get against the wall? Is this your bedroom?”

“crime······.”

“Is the old man suffering from dementia? Why won’t he keep his mouth shut?”

“······.”

Hyunmoo Group Chairman Oh kept his mouth shut.

Hyunmu Construction CEO Oh bit his lip until it bled as he looked after his father.

The two quietly stood against the wall.

Knock knock.

Fur stone.

The President sat in the chair provided by the Chief of Staff.

The room was quiet, and the president wore sunglasses.

“This is a mess.”

Everyone quietly closed their eyes to the president’s sarcasm.

The chief of security at the Blue House kicked Wookwang Group Chairman Kim Dae-sik in the side with his shoe.

“Can’t you hear what Your Majesty said? This is a mess.”

“Woof woof!”

Wookwang Group Chairman Kim Dae-sik groaned and barked loudly.

Only then did the corners of the president’s mouth slightly rise.

It was a satisfying laugh.

“I came too early. It seems like the inside of the room isn’t completely cleaned up yet.”

The president nodded.

He turned to Chairman Oh of Hyunmu Group and President Oh of Hyunmu Construction, who were standing against the wall, wiping their swollen cheeks.

“How many construction companies are involved in the preferential distribution of Hyunmu Apartments?”

“Seven places.”

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Immediately, the four construction company presidents stood up, lost in thought.

As the chief of police gestures, the police officers begin to arrest them one by one and drag them towards the wall.

The chief of police clicked his tongue.

“It’s not you.”

The place the Chief of Staff’s finger was pointing to was the door to the Blue House banquet hall.

“To the serving room and torture room.”

“Please, save me!”

“I was wrong······ Ugh!”

The four construction company presidents shouted desperately.

But when the central security agents put a gag on him, only a thin, animal-like howl came out.

“Are there only four people who voluntarily pay taxes?”

“Woof woof!”

Wookwang Group Chairman Kim Dae-sik barked sadly.

The face of the president of Wookwang Construction, who the chief of security at the Blue House had dragged out first, turned pale.

The president let out a cold laugh.

“The other two.”

“······.”

A cold silence fell.

No one opened their mouth or moved.

The chief of police pointed with his finger.

“Samhwang Construction. Gukcheon Construction.”

“······!”

Bam! Bam!

With an expression that said that couldn’t be true.

The heads of Samhwang Group and Kookchun Group stood up, pale and astonished.

The President’s gaze toward the 1st and 7th ranked business leaders was extremely cold.
