The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 289



Only Noblemtl

My aunt’s bob cut made a sharp sound as she shook her head.

As always, the diction was sharp and the speech was crisp.

“This is the reason why our Taesung Department Store is rising again. Top-class skin care and full-body body management services.”

That’s right.

After Taesung and Wookwang’s marriage was called off, Wookwang Department Store had been implementing a malicious policy of retaliation.

Accordingly, Taesung Department Store, run by my aunt, was helpless against the aggressive VIP targeting strategy of its competitor, Wookwang Department Store.

Even during the year-end and Lunar New Year holidays, which are considered the biggest shopping seasons of the year, only flies were flying around the luxury goods section of Taesung Department Store.

Then, Taesung Department Store made a big leap forward by opening a VIP-only skin care room.

“That’s right! Taesung Department Store’s management service is famous, even people like us who live in the countryside know about it.”

“Why else would there be talk in the next town of going on a skin care expedition to Taesung Department Store as a fundraising event?”

“There was a lot of talk about creating a Taesung Department Store Skin Beauty Expedition in our town.”

My aunt smiled proudly.

“Then whose idea was this skin care service at Taesung Department Store?”

aha!

I was wondering why my aunt was here packing.

“I told you, this is all thanks to our Olke?”

Anyway, my aunt too.

You could have just been honest and said, ‘Please hurry up and give me permission to get married, I’m here to provide support!’

“If it’s Olke······ Could it be Soojin?”

“Oh my, my goodness! He was so smart since he was little, and I guess he’s been doing some important work in Seoul.”

My aunt opened her eyes brightly, her bobbed hair fluttering.

“The honey pack I just gave you was also a product developed at Olke’s recommendation.”

“This too?”

“We received a lot of help from Olke, from the essential oil therapy and custom perfume production that Taesung Department Store is proud of, to full body massages and half-body baths.”

Huh?

I didn’t know that either.

‘I was just telling you about the skin care services provided by the door-to-door cosmetics sales ladies.’

My aunt added blandly.

“Thanks to this, Taesung Department Store’s VIP sales have increased significantly over the past six months.”

“Oh my, how much did it go up?”

“About 620% compared to last year?”

I couldn’t help but gape in amazement.

‘Are these numbers reasonable?’

VIP sales don’t increase easily.

The target customer pool is narrow, and there is a limit to how much you can spend on luxury.

‘Are you saying that you brought in not only the new VIP customers but also the loyal customers of each department store?’

But my aunt did that difficult task.

What was the price of Taesung Department Store stock these days?

I’m going to buy some for myself since I’m earning some pocket money.

“Oh my god! Sales increased more than sixfold in just half a year?”

“It’s all thanks to Soojin?”

“Wow, our Soojin is really amazing!”

My aunt smiled faintly.

“Didn’t you know? Our youngest, Olke, is our family’s treasure.”

The reaction was immediate.

“Did you hear, Sujin’s mom? Sujin is the treasure of our family.”

“It looks like Soojin is really receiving a lot of love after getting married. Oh my!”

“It’s thanks to Soojin that we’re receiving this expensive skin care treatment.”

A woman asked her aunt in a subtle manner.

“Now that we’ve become so familiar with each other, when I go to Taesung Department Store next time, will you give me a friend discount or something like that?”

“That would be difficult.”

My aunt spoke with a sharp, blunt voice.

“Our Taesung Department Store’s skin care service is, in principle, an exclusive service provided to department store members.”

“ah······.”

To become a department store member, you must pay an annual membership fee.

Just as the village women were about to become greatly disappointed, the aunt suddenly turned her head.

“But if you bring your in-laws, things will be a little different, right?”

“How?”

“I need to be a little more flexible with Taesung’s immediate family. Do you understand?”

“oh!”

“Actually, if it weren’t for Olke, I wouldn’t have personally done this pack for you in the first place.”

My aunt flipped her bob hair upside down.

“So, I am the president of Taesung Department Store.”

“Oh my! So we were getting a pack from the department store owner?”

“Oh my goodness, now that I think about it, Soojin’s older sister is from Taesung Group!”

My aunt snorted slightly.

“I know. Who did you get the Taesung Department Store Signature Skin Beauty Pack from?”

“Thanks to Soojin!”

“great.”

My aunt winked at me.

I gave him a thumbs up.

It was a solid support fire.

My aunt came over to me with her bobbed hair fluttering.

“Hello, brother-in-law. I am Seongjun’s older sister, Cha Manyoung. Nice to meet you.”

My aunt bowed politely in greeting.

Then, she tucked her bob hair behind her ear.

“For your information, I would say that Olke and I go to the department store once or twice a week to eat together, drink tea, get skin care treatments, get massages, and go shopping together.”

“You’re someone who’s close with our Soojin! Welcome.”

As my aunt stared blankly at me, my grandfather put me down on the floor and smiled awkwardly.

“There isn’t much to eat, but please eat a lot.”

“I came out of the Taesung Hotel restaurant and was disappointed when people said there wasn’t much to eat.”

“······.”

My grandfather was speechless at the sharp words that came in without any consideration for the person he was talking to, as expected of an aunt.

But my aunt nodded as if it was nothing.

“The hospitality of our guests will be taken care of by Taesung’s experts and we will make sure that you are not disappointed, so please do not worry about this.”

My aunt took a fat envelope out of her jacket pocket.

“Please take good care of our Seongjun.”

“Is this an envelope of money?”

My grandfather immediately opened his eyes wide.

“There’s something that people from rich families are good at. Take this money and get out, or is this money not enough, things like that······.”

“This is a one-time use coupon for the Taesung Department Store Skin Care Center. If you hand it out to the neighborhood ladies, they’ll be thrilled.”

“······Ahem!”

“It would be annoying if my in-laws had to go back and forth to Taesung Department Store every time to get the housewives’ favors. That’s why I prepared this.”

“······.”

“Since it is a ‘Well done’ stamp with Olke’s name on it, we will provide differentiated service without any confusion. Please receive it.”

My aunt gave my grandfather a generous voucher for a skin care salon.

“It’s not an envelope of money, but it is a bribe. The request is, please give me permission to marry Sungjun, okay?”

“Aunt, didn’t our father just get permission to get married?”

“What? Why are you telling me that important thing now?”

My aunt snorted in disapproval, her hair bobbed and fluttering.

“Seongjun finally got permission to get married, but it ends with a banquet like this! This is not right!”

My aunt rolled up her sleeves.

“I need to contact Taesung Hotel and have them come over, including the Chinese food team.”

Right now, the Korean food team, Japanese food team, and Western food team have been mobilized.

“If the Chinese food team joins, the Taesung Hotel restaurant will have to close today, right?”

“Is that a problem? I’ll take responsibility for that amount of damage and cover it. Call me back.”

That was when.

A welcoming voice was heard from the front door.

“Why are you covering the damage, Man-young? I have it.”

“Grandpa, Grandma!”

My grandfather and grandmother also came to the village feast.

As soon as my grandfather saw me, he burst into laughter and ran towards me with his arms wide open.

“My precious baby! My smart little cutie!”

My grandfather held me in his arms and spun me around.

My grandfather had a shocked look on his face.

“Ahem, how can such an old gentleman say such a shameful thing······.”

Whatever.

“Hehehe.”

“It was the weekend that our Jeong-hyeok had been eagerly waiting for, but he was so ruthless about going to his maternal grandparents’ house that I felt a little disappointed for no reason!”

“Hey, there are a lot of things to be disappointed about. I’ve been coming here every weekend without fail.”

“Still! Your grandmother and I waited a whole week for you to come!”

This weekend, I’m going to my maternal grandparents’ house instead of my parents’ house.

To get permission to marry.

I’m sure Grandpa knows that too, but I wondered why he was throwing such a tantrum.

My grandfather looked at us with a shocked face.

“Jeonghyeok went to his parents’ house every week? Until now?”

Now that I look at it, I realize it was just bragging!

My grandfather slapped my face with his cheek as if he was trying to show me off.

“Ouch, it stings! Grandpa, beard, beard!”

“Grandpa, you shaved cleanly this morning, but this is really.”

My grandfather said, “Eight!” and started kissing my cheeks.

My grandfather muttered with an even more shocked expression on his face.

“In broad daylight, outside the front door, is it really possible to express your affection so openly?”

My grandfather coughed in a very unpleasant way.

“Keuhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“if······.”

Only then did my grandfather glance back at my maternal grandfather.

He smiled and reached out his hand first.

“Oh my, are you my brother-in-law? Hello, I am Cha Tae-seong, the father of Cha Seong-jun.”

“Nice to meet you, brother-in-law. I am Lee Jung-jin, the father of Lee Soo-jin.”

My grandfather and my maternal grandfather shook hands.

The moment when the hands of the two grandfathers holding each other began to tremble, their skin color faded, and their tendons grew.

“Ugh!”

My grandfather pulled his hand away with a very angry expression on his face.

My grandfather looked back at me with a very proud expression on his face.

He had an expression on his face as if he was bragging, saying, ‘See? I won?’

My grandfather called me in a serious tone while massaging my hand.

“Jeonghyeok, I have something to give you.”

The grandfather took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his suit pocket.

‘Wow, it’s golden!’

I just couldn’t help but ask.

“What is this?”

“The land document for the Suseo-dong apartment complex. I got it from the head of the central government. Now, as promised, this is Jeong-hyeok’s.”

My grandfather opened his mouth wide.

“You’re giving the land for the Suseo-dong apartment to Jeong-hyeok right away?”

My grandfather is a man who rewards people according to their achievements.

“Thanks to our Jeong-hyeok, Taesung Construction was able to avoid the construction stock crisis. Good job.”

“Thank you, Grandpa!”

I smiled brightly and accepted the Suseo-dong land document.

The land that I had sold at market price in exchange for an invitation to Hyunmu Construction has now come back into my hands.

“There’s more.”

“What is it?”

“Secretary Kim, hand that over here.”

“Yes, sir.”

As the grandfather held out his hand, Secretary Kim produced a thick stack of documents from her briefcase.

‘Crazy! Amazing gold!’

I stared in rapture.

“Daechi-dong Cheonma Apartment, 4,500 units. This is all yours too.”

“Grandpa, this is······.”

“Of course, it was done in the name of JH Investment.”

“Grandpa, you’re the best!”

somehow!

I told you the gold was no joke.

My grandfather opened his mouth wide.

“Apartments in Daechi-dong, 4,500 of them?”

“Do you know how much an apartment in Gangnam costs these days?”

“They say that even ten million won won won’t do anything.”

“You know a lot.”

My grandfather’s eyes shook violently as if there was an earthquake.

“Are you saying you’re going to give all of that to our Jeong-hyeok?”

“There’s no way it won’t work.”

The grandfather held up a thick document in front of his maternal grandfather.

“It’s because our Seongjun came and hit me hard, saying he was taking care of his child.”

“······!”

“Oh, of course, as promised, I helped out a little bit, just a little bit.”

“her······!”

My grandfather opened his mouth wide and made an indignant expression.

My grandfather laughed heartily and waved the golden documents in front of me.

As if shaking the bait on a fishing rod.

Every time that happens, it is only my grandfather’s eyes, not mine, that wander aimlessly following the golden document.

“One more. There’s more.”

“also?”

I don’t think there was anything else specifically promised to Grandpa.

“Secretary Kim.”

“Yes, sir.”

As the grandfather held out his hand, Secretary Kim took out a sealed envelope as if she had been waiting for it.

I was surprised.

‘What is this? It’s golden?’

I was curious.

‘The fact that international mail even has a central post office mark on it······.’

If you ever want me to receive such golden documents from abroad… then you have it!

As expected, he’s the king of smuggling!

It was something I was waiting for.

Somehow, the golden light burst through the envelope!
