The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 282

I crossed my arms and thumped my leg in frustration.

“I kept my promise. Every weekend, I go to my parents’ house and go into the study with my grandfather, right?”

It was my grandfather’s request.

-Daughter-in-law, I wish you would send Jeong-hyeok to your parents’ house every weekend.

-Jeonghyeok?

-Yes, that’s because I have a lot to teach you. There must be so many things I want to share with Jeong-hyeok and discuss with him.

-Okay. I’ll send Jeonghyeok to your father’s house every weekend.

-thanks.

-Hey, you too, Father. Family members don’t talk like that. We’ll visit often too.

My mother smiled brightly and patted my head.

-Jeonghyeok, you must be happy. Your grandfather loves you very much. Right? You must never forget this feeling, right?

-Of course. I promised.

So I started going to my parents’ house every weekend.

Some days I play baduk with my grandfather, and some days I cut strawberries with my grandmother.

Some days, I stay locked in my study and read Taesung Group’s approval reports.

Another day, I was pulling weeds in the yard with my grandmother.

“Is it over if I just organize the family register? If this keeps up, I’ll end up getting married before my parents.”

“That, that’s not right!”

My words!

“It’s almost done. Just wait a little longer.”

“Do you know how many times that has happened?”

You’re saying that I’ve been waiting for almost half a year!

Grandfather scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.

“Your father assured me that he would be able to obtain permission for the marriage soon. Then the meeting will take place.”

“So you’re saying you’ve been pretending not to know me all this time?”

“Ahem! That’s the order, that’s the order.”

That’s why I wrote a letter urging the parents to meet.

‘My parents’ wedding keeps getting postponed, so Yerin went to Inwangsan to pay her respects, so it’s half-dead?’

The already small and skinny kid was so skinny that he was reduced to nothing but bones!

-Don’t do that again.

-I can solve my parents’ marriage problem. Why are you making such a fuss about it?

So I had no choice but to make up my mind and take action.

“I took proper care of my mother’s dowry.”

I’m talking about Taesung Chemical.

That was something my mother had already prepared for as a dowry, and it had already been announced to my grandfather and other family members a long time ago.

The dowry was even more elaborate than what the grandmothers brought.

“Is it that hard to hold your mother’s hand and get married and ride in a flower palanquin?”

I looked back at my father with displeasure.

“Me too, Dad. What on earth have you been doing up until now?”

“I went down every weekend and tried to persuade them.”

“How did you persuade him?”

“I did my best to persuade you with sincerity and sincerity.”

The more my father’s answers became vague, the more my eyes began to narrow.

“You’re not going to make any progress because you’re going down there and getting beaten up so badly and kicked out?”

“Not anymore.”

So you’re saying that you got beaten up pretty badly and kicked out?

“How did you manage to persuade me so earnestly and with such sincerity?”

“I silently apologized for my mistake.”

“Just in words?”

“Of course I worked hard physically as well. I helped with the farm work.”

“······.”

It was absurd.

“No, why don’t you go all the way there and help with farm work?”

“Your maternal grandparents farm. They are very busy because they are short on help.”

Because there are only two daughters in the family.

There are so many things that a young man has to work hard for.

The father added:

I did a dry wash.

“So you’re saying that you haven’t even gotten permission to get married yet because you’ve been helping out on the farm every weekend?”

“It’s the busy farming season right now. We should understand.”

oh my god!

What kind of weekend farm slavery is this?

“Why would Dad understand that? He’ll be married and become the eldest son-in-law and help with the farm work.”

“······.”

My father closed his mouth as if he was speechless.

I quickly looked back at my grandfather.

“Grandpa, what do you think about this matter now?”

“But won’t sincerity eventually get through?”

What the heck?

“You said you avoided getting beaten up and kicked out right away? That must mean you’re accepting Sungjun’s true feelings.”

Grandfather nodded as if he was pleased.

“You are doing well. If family members help each other and approach each other with sincerity, the pent-up feelings in their hearts will be resolved.”

“Yes, father.”

“Your precious daughter has become an unwed mother and has had to go through all the hardships of raising a child on her own, so of course you won’t look pretty.”

“Yes. I am prepared for it.”

“From now on, I need to work harder, more sincerely, and try harder to let go of my worries.”

“Yes, I need to try harder.”

I asked just in case.

“Dad, I told you that I became the Vice President of Taesung Group this time, right?”

“······.”

What is this atmosphere?

“Then what about the president of Taesung Construction? Didn’t he say that he was the second generation of a conglomerate?”

“You didn’t even ask.”

“······You didn’t even get to take the census?”

I just shook my head.

‘Oh my, it happened!’

When your daughter brings home a man, the most basic thing to do is to have him checked out.

What does it mean that they were used for farm work like servants without even a census?

‘Why does your head, which was always so smooth when it came to business, become as rigid as a rock when it comes to family matters?’

I touched my forehead.

‘Come to think of it, my father was the type who would rather endure and sacrifice than cause conflict with his family, and my grandfather was a pushover when it came to family matters!’

Politics wasn’t the only area where my grandfather was a genius.

I forgot that he was a person who was weak in discipline and drawing lines and not good at managing traffic between family members, and was at a loss with his children and daughters-in-law.

······Of course, there was a time when I was at a loss when it came to family issues, but not anymore!

‘I was properly taught the secret by the Grim Reaper!’

In short, it means that if you establish a hierarchy and draw lines between family members, everything will go well!

[No! I said it then, but this is a very sensitive issue, so let’s have a more in-depth conversation······!]

There’s no time to be idle right now!

I decided to take extraordinary measures.

“This weekend, I’m going to pack up all the newspaper clippings I have at home and take them with me.”

“Why newspaper clippings?”

“I wanted to show you an article with a picture of my father on it, as big as a door. If possible, let’s start with the picture of him and the President, wearing a flower necklace and putting his arm around each other’s shoulders.”

We need to show it openly and blatantly.

That my father was in the newspapers, standing shoulder to shoulder with the President!

“How is your grandfather doing in your neighborhood? Is he a good helper?”

“The village chief was working.”

This is so great!

If you are a village head, you are in a position to become a person of power by diligently promoting the New Community Movement that the President pushed for!

Moreover, since it was a time when the agricultural community culture was still deeply rooted, the influence and power of the village chief came directly from the power of the government.

“Then, Grandpa, would you please call Taesung Hotel?”

“Taesung Hotel? Why are you there all of a sudden?”

“You don’t have to prepare a buffet for business trips. You have to throw a big village feast.”

“······!”

I smiled brightly.

“I heard that the President, ahead of the presidential election, prepares a feast for the village and distributes sugar, flour, dress shirts, and underwear sets?”

It was the president’s way of winning over the hearts and minds of the townspeople and winning their votes.

And that worked out really well.

“Let’s give a return gift too.”

“······!”

“It’s not that Taesung doesn’t have money, it’s not that he doesn’t have a factory, and it’s not that he doesn’t produce any products.”

“······!”

This is when you use the resources and power you have.

“So that my mother can brag that her father-in-law gave her a lot of shares in Taesung Chemical after she got married well. If possible, I’m going to put a big message on Taesung Chemical products.”

What would be good?

“Taesung Group Vice Chairman Cha Seong-jun presents Taesung Chemical to Lee Su-jin as a wedding gift.”

“······!”

Grandfather and father opened their eyes wide.

Director Koh opened his mouth wide.

“Wha, what kind of wedding gift scale is this······!”

“Why? There’s no way it wouldn’t work out. I said from the beginning that Taesung Chemical would be my mother’s dowry.”

“Well, that’s true, but······.”

Director Koh stuck out his tongue.

“Wow. Lord Jeonghyeok’s driving force is······.”

Whatever.

“With the best-selling products from Taesung Chemical. We’re selling shampoo and conditioner sets, soap sets, and even basic cosmetics sets.”

Let’s call it the operation .

“I guess this alone won’t be enough, right?”

“Won’t it overflow?”

Director Ko’s protests fell on deaf ears.

“People believe what they see, don’t they? My father’s power and wealth are not evident in these things.”

“Huh? Even though we’re having a neighborhood party?”

Director Ko’s counter-question was also ignored.

“Where did you say your grandfather was farming?”

“I understand that you own a large amount of farmland in Bundang.”

“Bundang. You have land in a nice place.”

A very large new city is scheduled to be built there in the future.

“I heard that your maternal family doesn’t have much money, but they have quite a bit of farmland. I heard that the farmland is quite large.”

“I think it was about 60,000 pyeong.”

60 thousand pyeong?

Wait, wait a minute!

‘If Bundang New Town is built, land prices will skyrocket like crazy. How much is it?’

It will be less than 10 years before a new city is announced.

It’s not far off when my maternal grandfather and grandmother will become overnight millionaires!

“There is farmland in Suseo-dong too. That area is an orchard though.”

“In Suseo-dong too? How much is it there?”

“I think they said it was about 60,000 pyeong there too.”

This is crazy!

A district-level urban development plan is being implemented in Suseo-dong.

The development restriction zones in the city center are being pushed out and apartment complexes are being built one after another.

This is also less than 10 years away from being announced?

“I heard that they are farming on a fairly large scale in Pangyo too?”

“I heard you’re going to do some suburban farming. I think you’re thinking about building a greenhouse.”

No, all the way to Pangyo?

“I think it’s about 70,000 pyeong.”

“You are a rich man.”

A total of 190,000 pyeong?

I looked back at Chief Ko, who was in charge of my grandfather’s bodyguard and driver.

“Director Ko, do you have a map book?”

“Yes? Oh, of course.”

“Can you bring that to me?”

In those days, it was considered commonplace to have a national map book rolling around in the backseat of a car.

It was a time when there was no navigation.

“Jeonghyeok, why the map book all of a sudden?”

“If you want to attack your opponent, you need to first come up with a strategy.”

“I wonder if Dad has to use tactics to target the people who will become his family.”

“Aren’t family people? You have to treat them well to be treated like guests for a hundred years.”

“······.”

My father’s eyes lit up.

“Don’t you want to try the boiled Siamese chicken that your mother-in-law catches for you at your in-laws’ house?”

“What should I do, Dad?”

“Let me draw a rough sketch. It’s where my maternal grandparents’ farmland is located.”

I spread out a map of Bundang, Suseo, and Pangyo and thrust it in front of my father’s eyes.

My father drew it quickly.

“When planning and designing construction work at Taesung Construction, I learned how to read maps and determine locations by eye. Dad, you can draw them well.”

My mouth fell open again.

‘How is it that they are all prime lands in new cities?’

The golden light flashed dazzlingly.

I held the red marker pen tightly and pumped up my motivation.

“Okay, Dad, take care.”

I drew two lines where my maternal grandfather’s farm was.

“Construction work has to be done like this.”

“Division of farmland? Then the farmland will be reduced, it will require more labor, and it will be completely useless.”

“It may be a bit like that as farmland. But it’s not like the land value is like that, right?”

I drew a few more large lines like a checkerboard.

“You know, what is the blood vessel of real estate and the breathing hole that determines land prices?”

“road name!”

bingo!

That’s exactly it!

“If the opponent had made a move, Dad should have used his specialty to attack them. What was Dad good at at Taesung Construction?”

I smiled and pointed to the line I had drawn.

“Are you confident about pulling out the road?”

My father’s eyes lit up.

“You won’t make money just by owning a large piece of farmland.”

The government established a five-year economic development plan and selected manufacturing as the foundation for a wealthy and strong country.

Accordingly, workers’ wages were lowered and the prices of agricultural and marine products were also limited.

It was said that in this day and age it is difficult to make a lot of money through farming.

“Even if urban development occurs later, there is a huge difference in compensation between land adjacent to major roads and vacant land.”

A single well-chosen road can make the land price vary by several times, or even dozens of times.

And my father, Taesung Construction, could be said to be an expert in pulling out roads.

“I’m adding this here. Taesung is in charge of the subway construction, so he’ll try his best to get the subway to pass through here. What do you think?”

“To the subway?”

“If the road is like regular coffee, then the subway is like premium coffee.”

In areas where subway stations are built, land prices jump hundreds, or even thousands, of times.

“The issue that most worries landowners!”

The original strategy is to come from a relationship of interest.

“Let’s start the conversation by creating an environment where your grandfather has no choice but to go through it.”

That’s how I set the board and attack my opponent.

I leaned in slightly.

“Dad, have you ever seen the prenatal education book that Mom wrote?”

My mother wrote so well and so passionately.

I don’t know if my father knows that my grandfather was completely moved by that and cried.

“I need to make a tearful appeal in the name of family so that I don’t feel like I’m selling my daughter out for money.”

I confidently pounded my chest.

“So this weekend, let’s pack those up and go together!”

I will definitely make this marriage happen!

Besides, there is another secret weapon to lure out your grandfather.
