The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 320



Only Noblemtl

320. It’s me, it’s me

Elder Jeong Dong-jin laughed.

“How could you? Just follow what I say.”

“Did you do this to my dad too?”

I sighed softly.

“That’s outrageous. I just turned down that offer.”

“Bring it here.”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin snapped his fingers.

Among his closest subordinates, the youngest, the Southeast Skunk, quickly brought the blood letter and the will.

“fire.”

“Yes, sir.”

The southeastern skunk dug through his burrows and pulled out a silver Zippo lighter.

Elder Jeong Dong-jin picked up a will, not a blood letter.

“What if I burn this?”

“Then, thank you very much.”

“Your name is written here. I have designated you as the one who will inherit everything in this family.”

“Honestly, I never imagined that you would take this much care of me, even though I’ve never even met you. Thank you.”

I put my hands together and bowed.

“So I believe you will burn me more hotly.”

“……her?”

“The decision to let my father go is very good. I will fully support it.”

“under!”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin laughed heartily.

“If you burn this, you won’t get a single penny back?”

“It wasn’t mine to begin with. I can just earn more money.”

“I won’t be able to take back the connections I’ve built up and the sources of information I’ve spread.”

“The old man is sick, so the information sources and connections that have dried up while I was working today or tomorrow? Not really… … .”

“The Jeong family’s influence wasn’t built overnight.”

“When it comes to influence, Taesung Group is no exception.”

“I have only one condition.”

Seems displeased.

As if you don’t understand.

The old man, Jeong Dong-jin, let out a gruff voice.

“Seongjun will be your guardian. I didn’t ask for much.”

“You are very greedy.”

“The price is overflowing.”

“That’s what I’m saying. The scales are tipped too far.”

“The guy who knows that… … .”

“The price to pay is too high. How can the wealth of the Jeong family compare to the sacrifice of my father? It’s out of the question.”

“… … .”

I clicked my tongue.

“My father became the vice president of Taesung Group.”

“That Taesung Group that the three brothers had to fight over!”

“No. You’re one step behind.”

I waved my index finger from side to side.

“If both of them have a lot of money, people, and influence, this one is a prestigious conglomerate family in the sun, and that one is a loan shark family with a lot of resentment in the shade.”

This family background was like a stigma that even the elderly in Jeongdongjin could not shake off.

The dirty entanglement of resentment and conflicts of interest is difficult to shake off, even if you just look at the work of the corpse thief.

For the first time, a look of resentment flashed across the eyes of the old man Jeong Dong-jin.

But he snorted arrogantly.

“Tae Sung Group and Cha Tae Sung, who are playing in the palm of the President’s hand? We can either take the President out of his seat or put the guy we want in his place.”

“Isn’t it better to make a name for yourself and command the world than to be born a man and spend your whole life playing the dark game in the shadows?”

I’m talking about the dark side.

Who doesn’t know that they’ve never lived like that?

Somehow, I was never able to escape the back alley world my entire life.

He was punished by heaven for selling out his country in his previous life, and his life was miserable, with only dirty money and bad relationships allowed.

One of the five biggest names in the underground financial world in Korea, the loan shark king, the ant hell of Shillim-dong!

That was me.

“That kind of life isn’t very fun. Every time you breathe, you accumulate resentment.”

I have never offered high-interest loans to the general public.

He lent emergency funds to companies, bought over-the-counter stocks, and acted as an angel investor.

Nevertheless, the noise never ceased during the process of recovering the principal, collecting interest, and disposing of stocks.

When I needed money, people would crawl to me on their knees, but when it was time to pay back the money, they would spit on me and curse me as they left.

When he took the money, he said I was an angel that would never be found in this world, but when he got the money back, he cursed me, saying I was a devilish bastard who would go to hell.

“I have no intention of leaving my father in the shade, in this kind of mud.”

How dare you sit in the vice-chairman position of Taesung Group!

How did our father acquire such fame and influence!

“My father said he would give up both his wealth and fame for his family.”

He even said he would give up Taesung Group and live with us.

Even if I go out empty-handed, why would I starve my family to death?

“He is the one who will pave the way for me, even if it is a path full of thorns.”

He avoided fighting over shares because he didn’t want to get into a sibling fight.

He was prepared to use force to suppress his brothers for the sake of his son’s future.

He gave me the letter of recommendation he had received from the executives of Taesung Group as a gift.

“My father has a talent for business. Quite a bit, quite a bit, quite a bit.”

I used to be an angel investor too.

His specialty was promoting promising plans and promising companies.

“I believe that my father will raise Taesung to be a great and wonderful person.”

I smiled broadly.

“So, I would like you to burn this will and blood letter. For my father’s sake.”

“Even if that means you have to give up your share?”

“There’s nothing I can do about it.”

“Even if this doesn’t mean much to Sungjun?”

“Why is it meaningless? I’ll just say goodbye to this corner of the house and live my life worrying only about my father’s life.”

“My sister has been telling me that there is only one person who can succeed me. For over 20 years.”

You’re such a stubborn person.

I think this could be considered an obsession.

“I told you that I have never gone back on my word before?”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin’s intentions were strong.

It was the unyielding spirit of one who had been ruling the household for a long time.

“Who would go back on their words?”

“hmm?”

“You don’t have to go back on your words, sir. Just burn this.”

“… … .”

It was a trick.

“It’s good for you because you don’t have to go back on your word, I’m happy because I get what I want, and my dad gets his freedom. It’s a win-win-win deal, isn’t it?”

Wouldn’t this be an offer that we don’t necessarily need to reject?

But this old man doesn’t nod easily.

“I also made this decision for Sungjun. Sungjun needs the strength of this family.”

“Oh, well, my dad… … .”

“There’s no law that says the head of the Jeong family can’t take over Taesung Group. Isn’t that right?”

Oh, is that what you meant?

Only then did I relax my frown and nod obediently.

A smile appeared on my lips.

“That is true.”

So I decided to open my coin purse.

“Then shall we begin properly now? The succession dispute within the Jeong family.”

He took out the golden documents one by one and placed them on the table.

“This is a secret letter written by the President himself, designating Taesung’s successor.”

There’s more.

“This is a memorandum of understanding whereby our grandfather, Taesung Group CEO Cha Tae-seong, transfers his shares in Taesung Electronics to the next CEO.”

It’s not over yet.

“This is a list of my investment holdings that the smuggling king is operating.”

So I took out three more documents that were shining golden.

“5 billion dollars?”

“… … !”

Everyone looked at me with surprised eyes.

It was the president’s slush fund that Kim Hyung-won had embezzled and swallowed.

The master screamed.

“No, where on earth did that money come from?”

The teacher muttered in disbelief.

“A person who came to a pawn shop to borrow money with collateral just half a year ago… , no, how could he have managed to get that kind of money in just that half a year… .”

“With skill, with ability, with talent?”

This was a lesson my teacher taught me.

I shrugged.

“I was lucky.”

“Is this an amount that can be simply attributed to luck?”

The teacher shook his head repeatedly.

“Even our big banks can’t raise that much money. Huh… …! Without being possessed by a money ghost… … .”

Whatever.

Elder Jeong Dong-jin focused on another part.

“If you’re talking about the smuggling king, you’re not talking about that expensive guy from Busan, are you?”

“That’s right.”

“Why is he managing your investment?”

“Well, that’s my subordinate.”

“what?”

It wasn’t just the elderly Jeong Dong-jin who was surprised.

The four big names from the previous generation and even the skunk from the southeast opened their eyes wide.

“The smuggling king has become your subordinate?”

“Are you saying that your majesty has taken control of Busan Port?”

“No, what the heck… Where have you been and what have you been doing… … .”

Everyone was astonished.

The eyes looking back at me were full of shock and disbelief.

“Well, it’s better to have a document than to speak.”

I took out another oath of loyalty, a pledge written by the smuggler, and placed it on the table.

“Bring it! Quickly!”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin was so excited that he flapped his hands and urged him on.

This time, the youngest skunk from the southeastern part of the country ran quickly.

“This can’t be happening!”

As soon as he read the document he received, Elder Jeong Dong-jin opened his mouth wide.

“I never thought that the smuggling king, Ko Dong-eon, would really swear allegiance to you.”

“… … !”

His closest aides gaped in amazement.

“You even offered me a company and left for America to fulfill your duties?”

“… … !”

Shock spread across the faces of his closest associates.

“That’s ridiculous!”

“The loser of Busan, the smuggling kingpin, if he doesn’t go crazy… …!”

“What kind of weakness did you find to threaten me… …!”

“No, even if his weakness was discovered, that’s not true. How could a big shot who controlled Busan be under your command…?”

What the heck?

You guys are also big names, right?

I tapped the table with a displeased face.

“Would you like me to bring you these four too?”

“… … !”

Naturally, this was a petition written by the four big names of the previous generation.

The southeastern skunk was quick to carry the sled again.

Elder Jeong Dong-jin pressed his aching temples.

“You even took everything that belonged to our children? When on earth did you do this?”

Even though it could be considered a betrayal for one’s subordinate to pledge allegiance to another.

Instead of becoming angry, the arrogant and proud man laughed.

“You managed to get me to swear allegiance. That’s quite something.”

The old man Jeong Dong-jin’s laughter was mixed with a thick cough and the smell of blood.

But his cheerful laughter never stopped.

“This is seriously not an ordinary item? Hahaha.”

What he noticed was not the petitions of his closest associates.

I was busy staring intently at the president’s personal letter and the memorandum from the Taesung Group CEO.

“Taeseong’s brain.”

He was the next CEO of Taesung Group, which both documents commonly refer to.

“I heard it was painful. That’s our Seongjun’s nickname, right?”

“That’s how it was known to the public.”

I wiggled my chin.

“If you look at the memorandum of the Taesung Group CEO, you will know. Who did they give the Taesung Electronics shares that they said they would give to the next Taesung Group CEO?”

“… … Cha Jeong-hyeok? Not Cha Seong-jun?”

Elder Jeong Dong-jin opened his eyes wide and read my three-character name.

“… … !”

Then everyone present looked at me at the same time.

Everyone gasped in surprise.

“Taeseong’s brain… …!”

“Is it really true that he stole the bribery ledger from Wookwang Construction and sent anonymous threatening letters to famous figures in the political and business world…?”

“It wasn’t Master Seongjun’s handiwork, but his son, Master Jeonghyeok’s?”

“Then, Master Jeonghyeok, who is only eight years old, is the next leader of Taesung?”

“What the heck is this nonsense… … !”

I snorted.

“Why are you so surprised? When Mr. Jeong Dong-jin wrote in his will that I would be the next head of the Jeong family, no one was surprised.”

“… … .”

Because it’s not even funny.

“Are you surprised to hear that your grandfather has been appointed as the next CEO of Taesung Group?”

“… … .”

Everyone kept their mouths shut as if they were speechless.

The little rascal muttered, his lips quivering.

“The little master has really turned the noble family upside down.”

The rambling horse shook its head repeatedly.

“No, how could you put aside Master Seongjun and talk to a young master who is only eight years old… … .”

“Not the young master, but the master, and not the noble family, but three families.”

I poked the table.

“You should take this too.”

The Southeast Skunk also brought a briefcase containing Japanese real estate ledgers and documents.

“My maternal grandfather also gave me Nakamura Real Estate and all of its related real estate.”

“… … !”
