The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 280
Only Noblemtl
The president was speechless for a moment.
I looked at the documents thrown on the table with trembling eyes.
Contract and request form signed and stamped by the Deputy Minister of Construction of the United Arab Emirates.
“her?”
The president couldn’t even utter another absurd statement.
I couldn’t hide my wavering eyes.
Instead, he gently swept his face with the palm of his hand.
“Very good.”
surprisingly.
The president was able to calm his expression just by that.
It was a quick facial expression management, as if watching a swordsman.
“Taeseong’s brain.”
“yes.”
“Yeah, I admit it. I guess I didn’t know you well enough.”
The president smiled contentedly.
“I forgot for a moment that the world is run by geniuses who know how to implement innovation and disruption.”
The president crossed his legs.
“The glass is empty.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The chief of security at the Blue House immediately tipped a bottle of Royal Salute.
Father’s glass was once again filled with clear, sparkling liquid.
Father bowed his head.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.”
“Drink slowly. I plan to finish the bottle.”
The conglomerate leaders blinked in surprise.
“A whole bottle?”
The look in his eyes as he looked back at his father was unusual.
I look at it carefully from head to toe.
He didn’t forget to look at his grandfather with a strange look in his eyes.
“How much are you this year?”
“I heard that you have done great things in Saudi Arabia and are being treated as a state guest?”
“Was the connection with the United Arab Emirates this deep?”
They all wiggled their butts like puppies trying to get something to eat.
“It’s noisy.”
The president took a puff on a new cigarette.
“I don’t think I have anything more to talk about with you guys.”
It was a warning to get out of here because it was annoying.
An obvious curse.
“Ahem, Your Majesty······.”
The conglomerate leaders looked at each other.
Why did you sit here after donating a whopping 500 million won?
– Bribes and favors are a set.
In places like these, support for important national projects or new petrochemical projects in this country was bound to be given.
But today, since they were about to be kicked out empty-handed, the conglomerate leaders couldn’t easily get off.
The chief of security at the Blue House shouted.
“Can’t you hear me telling you to get out? Are you deaf?”
“That······.”
The president waved his hand as if shooing away a fly.
“Come back later.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
Only then did the conglomerate leaders quickly bow their heads.
“Then we will go now.”
“Please call again next time.”
“I won’t bother you. Enjoy your time.”
“Woof woof!”
Wookwang Group Chairman Kim Dae-sik also joined in and was about to turn back.
My father asked, putting Royal Salute to his lips.
“Your Majesty, I have something to tell you regarding Wookwang Construction.”
This was my third note.
‘Where are you going to jump? Even if you jump, you have to throw out Wookwang Construction and jump.’
When I was drafting the contract to acquire Taesung Chemical, I also targeted Wookwang Construction and Wookwang Securities.
At that time, Wookwang Construction was able to be saved thanks to the president’s support, but what about this time?
“The light remains.”
“······Woof woof.”
Wookwang Group Chairman Kim Dae-sik nodded his head in resignation.
In the meantime, Chairman Jang of Cheonma Group also sat up slightly.
‘Where are you going to jump? Even if you jump, you have to spit out the Cheonma Apartment contract and jump!’
Of course, my father didn’t miss that opportunity either.
“Are you finished signing and stamping the sales contract for Cheonma Apartment before you leave?”
“You’re dragging your feet.”
The president immediately opened his eyes wide.
“Central court.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The chief of staff quickly responded to the president’s call.
“I stamped it! I wrote my name! It’s real!”
“What about the contract?”
The head of the central government searched the arms of Chairman Jang of Cheonma Group.
The contracts that should have been divided among them all came out of Chairman Jang’s suit pocket.
“They were trying to cover it up somehow without telling Taesung.”
“That, that’s not it······.”
“Your Majesty, looking at the way this man is behaving, I have a feeling that he will cause considerable trouble to Taesung after he gets out of this place.”
The chief of staff looked back at his father and smiled meaningfully.
As if to leave this task to him.
It was a confident attitude.
“Even if Taesung pays off 22.5 billion won out of the total 60 billion won in debt as a top priority, I am concerned that the remaining 37.5 billion won will be a headache for His Majesty.”
“No! I will do better in the future so that that doesn’t happen again!”
“Well, I just can’t believe it when I see what he’s doing.”
The head of the central government glared at Chairman Jang of Cheonma Group with cold eyes.
“You keep changing your words about the contract, you hide the fact that you have already agreed on the terms, and you try to disobey Your Majesty’s orders and sneak away.”
“No! Trust me! I just wanted to spare Your Majesty the trouble······.”
“Your Majesty, if Cheonma ignores the debt, the country will be in turmoil for a while due to construction workers’ strikes and the exercise of lien rights.”
“Make sure that doesn’t happen······!”
Chairman Jang of Cheonma Group tried desperately to protest.
“Put it on.”
The central security agents immediately shut Chairman Jang’s mouth.
The same gag that was put on Chairman Yang of the Kookchun Group was applied.
“Woof, wow! Woof!”
Chairman Jang, who was deprived of even the chance to make excuses, struggled as he was dragged away by the central intelligence agents.
The head of the central government said.
“Your Majesty, I don’t think this is something that can be dismissed as just an unsold bomb.”
“then?”
“I am very concerned that this could escalate into a nationwide general strike by construction workers.”
“what?”
What the president absolutely hated were general strikes and labor movements.
Didn’t that cause a red face and a fallout with the US administration?
“Nationwide, payments to subcontractors are being delayed, and instead of cash, only promissory notes are being circulated. Even workers’ wages are not being paid, and stock prices are plummeting, so the construction industry is currently in a very unstable situation.”
Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly.
The president’s fingertips moved rhythmically.
It meant that it was interesting enough to make you think deeply for a moment.
“Your Majesty, let’s package it this way. ‘The government has stepped in to appease the people’s anxiety and discontent.’ What do you think?”
“Details.”
“It shows the speculator’s words.”
Chairman Jang of Cheonma Group being dragged away by the Central Intelligence Agency.
The eyes of the chief of police looking at him were extremely cold.
“The downfall of speculators who jump into debt in hopes of making a fortune overnight! This is a clear demonstration of their dirty and miserable fate, and it serves to awaken the public’s sense of alarm.”
The head of the central government was labeling Chairman Jang of Cheonma Group as a speculator.
“We must set an example and teach them to punish one another. Only then will the people realize that blind speculation aimed at making a fortune overnight, unearned income, and making a killing in life is a crime, and they will be extremely vigilant.”
“Very good.”
The corners of the president’s mouth went up significantly.
The chief of staff straightened his posture.
“We will conduct a search and seizure and tax investigation of the Cheonma Group.”
“Ugh!”
Chairman Jang of Cheonma Group struggled desperately.
“We will investigate and track overseas real estate and hidden funds, and begin seizing private assets.”
“Eww!”
“We must take this opportunity to reorganize construction debt and eradicate the forces that have encouraged real estate speculation.”
“Ugh, ugh, ugh!”
Chairman Jang of Cheonma Group had a face as blue as the sky.
But the president nodded.
“Do as you wish.”
“Take me.”
Let the central police officers pull them with all their might.
Chairman Jang of Cheonma Group had no choice but to be dragged along helplessly like Chairman Yang of Kookcheon Group.
The President looked around at the Chief of Staff to the President.
“From the United Arab Emirates to Korea. How many hours does it take to fly on a domestic airline?”
“It will take approximately 10 hours depending on the type of aircraft and flight speed, as there will be no transit stops.”
The Blue House policy chief checked his wristwatch.
“I think I’ll set foot on Korean soil around 1 or 2 in the morning.”
“Contact the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He must make sure that there are no lapses in preparation for the state welcome ceremony at the airport.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“One more thing. We need to do a trolley parade too.”
“yes?”
The pupils of the Blue House policy chief shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
“A trolley march at dawn? Not around the Blue House, but from Gimpo International Airport?”
“Isn’t it possible that it won’t work?”
“······.”
The Blue House policy chief kept his mouth shut.
“They say they want to buy our domestically produced tanks and are flying in from the United Arab Emirates on a special national airliner.”
“······.”
“He is a state guest who came to establish diplomatic relations. We have to show him the power of our domestically produced tanks!”
“······.”
The issue of dawn had long since been dismissed as trivial in the president’s mind.
This was because there had already been several night-time tank parades near the Blue House since Taesung’s domestically produced new tank was released.
“Your Majesty, this time I will drive that tank again!”
“Okay.”
As if it were a given, the chief of security at the Blue House volunteered, and the president approved.
The Blue House policy chief looked back at the chief of staff with a troubled expression.
As expected.
The chief of the security service was glaring at the chief of security at the Blue House with a very angry expression.
‘They say that as the midnight tram parade progresses, the gap between the two grows wider.’
It was an unpleasant event for the Central Intelligence Agency, which investigates civil wars and conducts anti-communist intelligence activities.
In fact, it was a headache because there were endless inquiries and reports about spying.
The head of the central government protested strongly several times, but they pretended not to listen.
The midnight trolley march was once a show of power by the chief of security at the Blue House.
“Call the press.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
The chief of security at the Blue House shouted loudly.
“Give the media something to chew on so they can thoroughly dig up the speculation suspicions surrounding Cheonma Apartments.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“The central government is actively cooperating behind the scenes.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
What was the reason for urgently summoning the heads of conglomerates to this location and inviting a large number of reporters?
It was to hold those responsible for the construction stock market crash and real estate speculation accountable and to divert the anger of the public.
So there was no better sacrifice than this.
“The possibility of a visit to Korea by the United Arab Emirates and the establishment of diplomatic relations is also being widely reported.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Tell them to report on the construction of Abu Dhabi International Airport and the request to export trams.”
“yes!”
The president wiggled his toes in satisfaction.
“If there is good news that the government has achieved diplomatic success and found a solution in construction in the Middle East, the stock market could also look to rebound.”
“Of course, Your Majesty. I will make sure to emphasize this point in front of the press!”
The president looked around at the Blue House policy chiefs.
“We will immediately begin preparations for establishing diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Where are the UAE royal family and the Deputy Minister of Construction who visited Korea this time?”
The chief of security at the Blue House answered immediately.
“Shall I take you straight there?”
“As the commander in chief of this country, I have no dignity.”
It meant that he had no intention of rushing out of his seat to welcome the royal family and the Vice Minister of Construction who had secretly visited Korea.
Because it looks so empty.
There’s no need to regret this.
“Isn’t the situation different from when we were clinging to the establishment of diplomatic relations?”
At that time, I had to say something regretful, as if I was going to give up everything, even my liver and gallbladder.
Since they are so proactive, we just need to adjust accordingly.
That was the reason why the president was so satisfied and relaxed.
“There is still plenty of time before the delegation arrives.”
Until the official delegation from the United Arab Emirates visited.
“Why don’t you have a drink in the meantime?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Oh my~, the alcohol tastes especially sweet and delicious today.”
Grandfather laughed heartily and drank the Royal Salute he had been given.
Then he winked at his father.
“I am able to enjoy all these luxury thanks to my precious child.”
“Taeseong’s future is very bright. Just keep doing this.”
Among those who were granted this position, only Taesung Construction CEO Lee Gyeong-seok could not hide his bewilderment.
“Taesung’s brain? My precious baby? Taesung’s future?”
His eyes widened as he looked at his father.
“It seems that in the Middle East, we only hear the words ‘Tae-seong is a disgrace’ and ‘a rotten, worthless bastard.’”
From President Lee Gyeong-seok’s perspective, that would be the case.
When I returned home, I found that my father had surpassed my older brothers and become the vice president of the group.
Taesung Construction CEO Lee Gyeong-seok muttered to himself.
“Ah, I can’t get used to it.”
Like a low-level employee who was forced to attend a company dinner after working overtime.
Taesung Construction CEO Lee Gyeong-seok’s voice was filled with fatigue.
Of course, the time difference may have played a part.
“The day is so long······.”
He was kidnapped and taken to the United Arab Emirates, and briefly attended a meeting of executives from all affiliates of Taesung Group.
I was summoned to an emergency meeting at the Blue House, and before I knew it, I was sitting down to drink with the President.
“If this continues, I won’t have to be dragged to the airport at dawn to participate in the trolley parade, right?”
Taesung Construction CEO Lee Gyeong-seok trembled.
It was an ominous feeling.
I too had no choice but to think seriously about this part.
‘Is that difficult?’
My grandfather said he would buy my mother some Hanwoojeong beef for dinner later.
Besides, I don’t like the idea of dragging my father to the airport in the middle of the night.
‘I was thinking of asking my grandfather when we were having dinner together today about when we would meet my maternal relatives.’
I snapped my fingers.
‘Hey, Guardian Angel.’
[why?]
‘Dongti, is it possible?’
[Suddenly? Who is your target?]
‘president.’
The grim reaper burst into laughter.
[There’s no way it won’t work.]
thud!
The door to the Blue House state guest room was closed.
And exactly 3 minutes later.
Bam!
The door to the Blue House State Guest House has opened again.
