The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 285



Only Noblemtl

It wasn’t my maternal grandfather who cast his gaze in active exploration.

These were the people of this town.

“Oh, I see! Who did you say you looked a lot like?”

“Soojin looks exactly like her when she was little.”

“You asked for an outside favor? You’re just like the village chief, you’re just like him!”

This is really interesting.

It was the same when I greeted the people at Taesung Group.

Everyone said that I looked just like my father when he was young.

“The more I look at him, the more handsome he looks! When he grows up, he’ll probably make a lot of girls cry.”

“Sujin was also famous since she was young.”

“Why else would the boys from the next town come to see me?”

“He looks smart, and his bright eyes make him different.”

Whether the townspeople are excited or not.

My grandfather opened his lips like a goldfish, but soon shut them tightly.

It was a stubborn mouth.

The villagers, who could not stand to watch, ran over and pushed the grandfather’s back.

“Chief, why are you standing there blankly?”

“Huh?”

My grandfather was like, “Oh, oh, oh, oh,” and then he was pushed back.

“My grandson came from Seoul to see his grandparents.”

“Stop pushing that!”

“You’re a good person, you’ve worked hard, I missed you, please say something like that.”

“Huh huh?”

“Please be gentle with your only grandchild. If you keep doing this, the baby will cry.”

The distance between my grandfather and me sitting on the couch.

It was only three steps away.

But my grandfather froze like a stone with only three steps left.

The townspeople no longer pushed and retreated to the periphery.

I’ve returned to spectator mode.

“Chief, come quickly.”

“Oh my, I’m going to wait until I die, baby!”

“You always treat the neighborhood kids well.”

“Please do that, hug me tightly and rub my chest.”

My grandfather reached out to me as if in a trance, then stopped.

Then, with a helpless look on his face, he suddenly shouted.

“Why are you staring so intently at me?”

My grandfather’s ears and the back of his neck were bright red.

He fired an arrow at Mr. Kim.

“Mr. Kim, did you see? From now on, when people talk to you, trust them a little more. Don’t accuse a strict person of being a swindler for no reason.”

“That’s why.”

I can’t let this one go smoothly either.

‘Why are you trying to beat up my parents in front of me?’

I can tolerate everything else, but I can’t tolerate my parents swearing.

I tilted my head deliberately.

“Is it because my father didn’t have a business card, didn’t have a mouth, and didn’t have common sense that he didn’t brag about being the youngest son of Taesung Group?”

“Could it be that you are keeping quiet on purpose?”

Mr. Kim couldn’t hide his embarrassment at the conclusion he had arrived at himself.

Unlike when I confidently accused my father of being a fraud.

“Then, when I ask my father-in-law for permission to marry my daughter, is a business card more important than sincerity?”

“That’s not it.”

The townspeople shook their heads simultaneously.

Only Mr. Kim couldn’t answer and kept coughing in vain.

“When the vice chairman of Taesung Group came to ask for permission to marry, he had to be escorted by members of the National Assembly and high-ranking officials? Is that the rule in this town?”

“That’s not it either.”

This time too, the villagers shook their heads simultaneously.

“Did my father, who had nothing to do, come running to my wife’s parents’ house every weekend at dawn to help with the farm work?”

“I don’t think so either.”

This was all Mr. Kim was talking about loudly.

“Can’t you just look at the heart of our father, who did his best to select the type of farm machinery he could afford and give it to his father-in-law as a gift, even though he was not good at farming?”

I smiled broadly.

“My father wants to dig a big road as a gift for my grandfather. So, please look after it nicely, my father.”

“Hey, can you pick the road as a gift?”

The townspeople opened their mouths and opened their eyes wide.

Like people who heard the sound of the creation of heaven and earth.

“If you dig a road, land prices will rise significantly, right?”

“Mom, don’t run too much!”

“Don’t run too fast!”

“Jump at least several times faster!”

The townspeople stuck out their tongues.

“Oh my god, this is the first time in my life I’ve heard of someone digging a road as a gift to their in-laws.”

“Is that a project that costs just a few pennies?”

“It’s such a big project that it costs so much money that even the country has to give up on it for a long time.”

I winked one eye.

“Who is our father?”

“The youngest son of Taesung Group······.”

Yes, my father is the second generation of a conglomerate.

The townspeople shouted in excitement.

“Now that I look at it, our village chief, you have a very good son-in-law!”

The townspeople spoke in unison.

Then, as if to show off, my grandfather coughed loudly, saying, “Ahem!”

His chest, which had been pounding and heaving, puffed out in pride, and his hunched shoulders straightened.

“Of course! When taking someone else’s precious daughter, sincerity should come first!”

“This precious rich young master has such a good personality!”

“You guys are so crazy about seducing women, even bringing up land deeds and house deeds that don’t exist.”

“Get on your knees before you take out your business card and bring up the house! If you silently helped with the farm work while getting beaten like that, then there’s no need to ask me any more questions!”

“They say that if your wife is pretty, you will bow down to her parents’ house post! Oh my, they even give you a road as a gift!”

As the townspeople’s response improved, my grandfather’s ‘Ahem!’ sound also became louder.

On the other hand, Mr. Kim, who had been treating my father like a conman, blushed.

I stared straight at Mr. Kim.

“Honestly, I never imagined that my father’s sincerity would become the reason why people would call him a conman.”

“Ugh, ugh!”

Of course, this is not coming from my grandfather’s mouth.

This is what Mr. Kim said.

“Did you ask my father? Did you check if he is the vice chairman of Taesung Group and if he is the youngest son of Taesung Group?”

“Khuuuuuuu!”

Mr. Kim turned his head away, pretending not to know.

Then he looked back at his grandfather and bowed his head.

“I’m sorry for talking nonsense when I don’t even know what I’m talking about.”

“Khuhhhhhhhh!”

My grandfather let out a displeased cough, pulling it up from his lower abdomen.

But he nodded his head heavily, carrying the luggage on his back.

With that, Mr. Kim is done.

This time it was the turn of the lady with the snotty nose who had been secretly gossiping about my mother.

“If you’re an insider who knows that my mom sold vegetables at the market, then you probably also know that my mom received Taesung Chemical as a dowry, right?”

“What? Soojin is accepting Taesung Chemical as a dowry?”

The woman with the snot-nosed nose was so startled that she covered her mouth with her hand.

The reaction was that it was the first time he had heard of it.

The townspeople also opened their mouths in surprise.

“No, isn’t Taesung Chemical a huge corporation?”

“Our son also sang a song saying that he wanted to go to Taesung Chemical.”

“Are you saying that Soojin received that big company as a dowry?”

“Oh my, my goodness! Soojin got married and lived a very happy life!”

My grandfather coughed loudly, saying, “Ahem!”

Trying to hide the corners of your lips that are furrowed and your shoulders that are shaking.

I shrugged my shoulders too.

“My grandfather took care of Taesung Chemical for my mother. So today, we are giving away Taesung Chemical products as thank you gifts for the village feast.”

“oh!”

“The chefs at Taesung Hotel will come in person and treat you with all their heart. They serve Japanese, Korean, and Western food, so you can choose whatever you like.”

“oh!”

My grandfather’s ‘Ahem!’ sound became louder and louder.

I captured the corners of the lips curling and the corners of the eyes furrowing.

I smiled brightly as I lightly handed out the flyers.

It was the skill that I used to have when I was handing out flyers.

“So I hope many of you will come and congratulate us.”

Pointing at the corners of the leaflet.

“When you leave, don’t forget to take a return gift and win lots of prizes.”

It would be a shame to miss out on a village festival raffle.

“Taesung makes televisions, washing machines, irons, rice cookers, stoves, pot sets, fans, and bicycles, as well as school supplies, backpacks, and sneakers for children.”

“Hey!”

“For your information, my father said that if he gets permission to marry, he will donate 300,000 won to the village development fund.”

“Three hundred thousand won?”

The townspeople’s eyes flashed for a moment.

It was an unspoken urging to get married quickly.

My grandfather coughed in vain, saying, ‘Ahem!’ with a troubled expression on his face.

‘If you forcefully push through important matters in the family, you’re bound to get into big trouble.’

I quickly changed the subject.

“But no one came.”

Deliberately slumping his shoulders.

“I guess my parents aren’t welcome in this town.”

“Oh my, we’ve had so many misunderstandings!”

The townspeople were greatly embarrassed and laughed awkwardly.

“That’s… I heard that the son-in-law of the village chief’s family always ruins the crops. It was so annoying that I tried to pretend not to know.”

“We just wanted to show the unity of the village······.”

“I was thinking of tightening my military discipline a little bit, just a little bit, so that Soojin wouldn’t look down on me and treat me carelessly. Ahem.”

Here’s why the banquet hall was empty!

Why is it that at lunchtime, instead of having a banquet, we are all sitting at a table?

“what?”

The corners of my grandfather’s mouth immediately went up fiercely.

The sharp eyes became cold and pointed.

If this continues, will my grandfather swing the broom again?

“So that’s why you only had flies flying around the banquet hall. Why else would I have come here with a flyer?”

I deliberately waved the bundle of flyers I had brought.

The villagers who had been sitting on the floor quickly grabbed the leaflets one by one and jumped up.

“This kind of slope happened in our town, I couldn’t help but look forward to it!”

“Of course! Soojin is getting married, so of course we should be the first to congratulate her!”

“Let’s go!”

“Okay then. Let’s go quickly!”

They say it shows the unity of the village.

Indeed, the villagers all gathered their hats and towels in unison.

“Ahem! Well, it’s lunchtime.”

The corners of my grandfather’s eyes and mouth, which had been raised to their highest point, became gentle again.

He turned his head sharply, using the broom he was holding as a walking stick.

“I heard that the food at the Taesung Hotel restaurant is really good.”

My grandfather pointed in the direction of our house with the tip of his chin.

“If you’re curious, go and see for yourself.”

My maternal grandfather too.

Just be honest and say, ‘Please come and celebrate our daughter!’

Vroom! Vroom!

The timing was perfect.

A line of high-end black sedans pulled into the village entrance.

The townspeople were startled as they tried to get up and shake off their buttocks.

“Hey, why are so many luxury cars coming into our town?”

“The banquet hall was so empty and dreary that I invited my father’s guests as well.”

Of course it’s a lie.

When I planned a village feast with the plan, “The village chief’s daughter is getting married to a second-generation chaebol!”, I made a phone call right then and there.

“I wanted my parents to receive congratulations from many people.”

Since we’re throwing a big village feast, there’s no reason not to invite guests from my father’s side, right?

“First, I contacted all executives of all affiliates of Taesung Group.”

“Tae, all executives of Taesung Group affiliates?”

“What kind of people are you talking about, manager, assistant manager, department head?”

Hey, I said they’re executives.

“Managing Director, Managing Director, Director, Vice President, President. People like that.”

“No, even the presidents of Taesung Group affiliates?”

“First of all, in terms of rank, you are my father’s subordinate.”

“······!”

You don’t have to look at me with such surprise.

My father is the vice president of Taesung Group.

“Oh my god!”

“What is this? Oh my, oh my!”

“A crowd of noblemen has flocked to our village!”

“Tae, how many affiliates does Taesung Group have?”

I spread my fingers wide.

“50 of them.”

“So, there are 50 affiliated companies?”

“It’s a large company. In terms of our country’s business rankings… maybe 4th?”

Until half a year ago, Taesung was ranked 5th in the business world.

There aren’t any detailed rankings yet as the year hasn’t changed yet.

By absorbing affiliates that were part of JH, the company grew in size by 12, so wouldn’t it have risen at least one level in the business hierarchy?

Or else forget it!

“I told you so!”

My grandfather shouted as if he had been waiting for me.

“If our Sujin is the vice president of Taesung Group, then she is the vice president!”

A woman with a perm clasped her hands together as if in ecstasy.

“My son sang a song saying he wanted to join Taesung Chemical, no, Taesung Group!”

Of course, the woman wasn’t the only one whose eyes sparkled with ambition.

“My son also wants to go to Taesung!”

“Our daughter is the same!”

“Our nephew too!”

“Our son-in-law too!”

Everyone was very quick to put their boots back on.

“I have to go around the fields and call the villagers!”

“Ilseok, Mom, let’s go together. Let’s stop by the stream laundry too!”

“Chun-gu, you have to go to the neighborhood supermarket with me!”

“Where did that kid Bang-il go at this crucial moment? Didn’t he go to the town’s billiard hall with his friends again?”

The townspeople began to run in all directions with fire in their eyes.

With this, the once quiet banquet hall will soon be bustling with activity.

It was worth it to pick up a flyer instead of just sitting around waiting!

I smiled happily.

* * *

Under the shade of the pine tree, where the villagers had hurriedly escaped.

Only my grandfather and I were left.

“Ugh, ugh!”

My grandfather let out an awkward cough and sat down on the edge of the bed.

The distance between my maternal grandfather and me.

It was still exactly three steps away.
