The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 329
Only Noblemtl
329. You came at a good time!
The second reason why I deliberately blocked the eyes and ears of the Blue House.
It was to protect my safety.
The reputation of the loan shark king, Jeong Dong-jin, was more impressive than expected.
“Master, upon hearing the news of your death, mourners have been expressing their intention to attend the funeral.”
The master reported, quietly taking me to the backyard.
Before I knew it, I was using the title ‘Master’ instead of ‘Master’.
“People were also sent from the political and business world, the broadcasting world, the prosecution and police, high-ranking administrative officials, and the military.”
Now that I look at it, it seems like the elders of Jeongdongjin and Yangji had their noses firmly pierced.
“There were even people from Seoul and the provinces who came here to fart on the floor.”
Of course, he also had a strong influence on people in the shadows.
“We regret to hear of the burning down of the Jeong family mansion, and we would like to request information on the funeral location and the next head of the household.”
It was something I was prepared for.
“He also strongly expressed his desire to attend the funeral in person.”
It’s you who borrowed the money, it’s you who got the political funds, it’s you who received the sponsorship, and it’s you who wants to stamp your mark.
What I regret is that it’s not me.
“The goal is clear. We want to find out who the new head of the Jeong family is and to make sure that they are in line.”
“Ignore it.”
So it was a swarm of annoying flies.
“I don’t have the luxury of dealing with each of those people right now.”
As the head of the Jeong family, he is in a situation where he has not been able to properly hand over power.
As soon as we got the ledgers and documents, we started holding the funeral.
Because there is no reason, no friendship, and no hope for spending time and effort on those people.
“We politely declined the request for visitors to attend the funeral. Instead, we have kept a guestbook as instructed by the master.”
The teacher nodded as if he understood everything.
“When I asked them to write individual cards and submit them as a guestbook, they responded that it was quite unusual.”
“It can’t be helped. It’s a guestbook of a guerrilla organization.”
While the typical guestbook uses a ledger, this guestbook received individual cards.
Instead of a business card, I also included a personal line to be contacted separately.
So that I can contact you privately and individually if necessary.
“Everyone who signs the guestbook is wailing. For the time being, our regular work will be paralyzed as we deal with the visitors.”
That too is inevitable.
“At this point, I’m starting to wonder if I leaked the news of the old man’s death for no reason… … .”
“No.”
I waved my index finger from side to side.
“Why did I secretly reveal the information to only three places?”
There were only three places where I spread the news of Mr. Jeong Dong-jin’s death.
The regular beauty salon of the wives of the political and business world, the regular room salon of famous people in the political and business world, and the loan market.
“Now that you’ve dropped the bait, you need to see the reaction.”
I counted my fingers.
“Who moves how fast, how they respond, who they work with, how far they dig, what routes they prefer. All of this is valuable information.”
With no fingers left to clench, I shook my fist and grinned.
“In an emergency, the jade is separated from the stone. I plan to keep an eye on those who are exceptionally agile, quick-witted, intelligent, and efficient.”
“also……!”
The teacher was greatly impressed.
“In that sense, please also make sure to write the order in which you write in the guestbook.”
“yes!”
“Please make sure to carefully record and attach a note regarding this matter on the back of the card.”
“yes!”
The teacher nodded repeatedly with the aforementioned expression on his face.
I opened my notebook and quickly wrote down the instructions with a ballpoint pen.
On the other hand, the sullen Maldaegi pursed his lips.
“Please, just use them sparingly. That’s why the kids cry all day long!”
The horse’s head had a very pale face.
He worked hard all night dealing with the people coming to the house casino, and the mourners would have continued to come during the day as well.
“Master, if this continues I’ll really die from overwork.”
That was the reason why he ended up complaining with such a sad and sad face.
“I need to receive visitors, do background checks, and take care of the children. Even if I had twelve bodies, I wouldn’t be able to do it!”
“The Jungjung agents are covering us from behind, and the Taesung Group people are helping us from the front, so why are they saying we’re dying from overwork?”
Why did I ask the Chief of Staff to hand over the corruption ledger of the Chief of Security Service of the Blue House and cause confusion and disruption of information?
Thanks to that, we were able to hold a quiet funeral among ourselves, so it was a good thing, but there was another reason.
So, the third reason I blocked the eyes and ears of the Blue House is because I was planning to move secretly during that gap.
“People from the back alley, would you like to boil some soup and eat it?”
“… …Why are we talking about back alley people here?”
It seems like the person who is talking nonsense doesn’t understand English.
I blinked my eyes slowly.
“Why did I disclose information to beauty salons, room salons, and private loan markets instead of political and business circles, presidential campaigns, or banks?”
“So why?”
“… … .”
Are you just asking because you know, or are you really asking because you don’t know?
“My personal opinion is that there was no need to do that… … .”
I didn’t know!
“To get the cooperation of the back alley people.”
I clicked my tongue slightly.
“Rather than having your subordinates investigate things directly, it is much easier, faster, and more certain to get the cooperation of people in the back alleys in terms of quantity, quality, time, and efficiency.”
“Now, look. Those guys are like those bald guys, right? They’re not the type of guys who would be so eager to give you information… … .”
“Tell them that the next head of the Jeong family will select and give preferential treatment to those who are good at their jobs. They will also give them a steep discount on their commissions.”
“Those kids, they must be running around like crazy, desperate to survive.”
The head of the horse let out a hollow laugh.
“If there are back alley kids who want to stamp their eyes on the owner, there are plenty of them. They’ll run at you with their eyes wide open.”
“Is it worth a try?”
The teacher also nodded with a vain laugh.
“This would be a good opportunity to pick out and gather some useful guys from the back alleys.”
Do you think that choosing between jade and stone is something that only applies to people in sunny areas?
“On this occasion, I will keep an eye on those from the back alleys who are exceptionally agile, quick-witted, intelligent, and efficient!”
“I thought he just ran away because he was tired of dealing with visitors… … .”
The horse’s head stuck out its tongue.
“I found out that you were drawing such a big picture… …!”
“This is incredible. How much can the Master gain from this one move… …!”
The teacher immediately gave a thumbs up with a look of great admiration on his face.
“You are truly amazing… … !”
“Huh, what on earth is in this little head… …, Ugh!”
The horse’s head also had the same expression on its face and kept sticking out its thumbs with both hands.
“You are so stubborn and always try to make a profit in any situation!”
“… …Is that a curse word?”
“What are you talking about? Of course it’s praise!”
The horse’s head gave a heartfelt exclamation of admiration.
“Do you think it’s easy to be so stubborn and gain profits every time you play? Do you think it’s fun to win every time? This is the realm of the god of gambling!”
Anyway, whenever this guy talks, he talks about gambling.
“Please give me a generous reward for my hard work.”
“Oh, Gaepyeong!”
“You have to stuff your mouth with lots of food.”
“Gambling house friendly service!”
Ignoring the dog’s whining, I earnestly asked my teacher.
“They say that you have to feed and put the cows to sleep well before using them. Especially when it comes to employing people, you absolutely cannot be stingy.”
“Yes, that’s right. That’s right.”
“As expected of our master!”
The teacher nodded and smiled repeatedly, and the teacher smiled happily.
The horse’s head hit my thigh.
“Jongno Geumtooth and Ms. Bang from Kkachisan should have seen this too!”
“He has a gold tooth. And Magpie Mountain is out of its mind right now.”
“Why? Both you and I are receiving visitors.”
“Magpie Mountain is sweating bullets right now, dealing with overseas mourners all by itself.”
“What are you talking about? There was no news from overseas, so how did you know and already send visitors to pay your respects?”
“I sent it. I knew it like a ghost.”
“Huh?”
The little boy’s eyes widened.
“It’s been a few days since the news of your grandfather’s passing was leaked!”
“That’s true. But judging by your expression, Master, this seems to be something you expected.”
I laughed bitterly.
“It was already planned when the black society executives infiltrated.”
What does it mean to respond immediately to news that wasn’t even delivered?
This means that they have already installed many informants within the country.
“I thought the movements of the underworld guys were unusual… … .”
“The problem is that it’s not just the underworld that’s moving.”
“That’s right. So far, they are coming in from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Russia, and Japan.”
Was that why he was so sensitive to the movements of the elderly Jeong Dong-jin?
“Please also carefully record the reactions from overseas.”
“Of course. If there are any special circumstances that are different from those of major figures in the country… … .”
The teacher glanced around.
The funeral for Mr. Jeong Dong-jin is being held at our house in Hannam-dong.
The funeral was not very crowded as only family and close associates were present.
“It is said that all overseas mourners, including members of the black society, visited the old man’s residence first.”
“The location of the old man’s mansion has been exposed to the world?”
The little boy asked in surprise.
The teacher smiled bitterly.
“Overseas visitors were very surprised to see the old man’s residence burnt down. That’s why Magpie Mountain decided to stay there and write in the guestbook.”
The teacher looked back at me with a strange expression.
“Overseas visitors also want to meet the master in person, but there has been no trace of him at all… … .”
“That’s why I burned it all.”
The teacher and the horse’s mouth opened wide.
“Could it be that the Master had already foreseen this at that time… … !”
“How many steps ahead do you expect… …!”
That’s not what’s important now.
“Did the Jeong family interact a lot with overseas visitors?”
“It can be said that our relationship with Japan is complicated in many ways, but with other countries, it is closer to an alliance or personal network.”
Elder Jeong Dong-jin said that he had been lending money to Japanese people in Japan since the Japanese colonial period.
Then it makes sense.
“A large number of influential figures from that country have sent people… … .”
“Just a moment.”
I raised my hand.
“Among them, are there any people I should know or big names I should entertain?”
“doesn’t exist.”
The teacher spoke bluntly.
But the pupils of the horse’s head shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
“There’s no way that’s true?”
As if it were nonsense, as if it was outrageous.
“How could they not be big shots when they have high-level informants who respond so quickly to news from other countries?”
“Even so, I’m not one of those people that the master should be concerned about!”
“Are you blinded by your asshole? Give me that list!”
The rascal Maljukgeori intercepted the teacher’s notebook.
As I turned the pages of the notebook, the jaw of the talking fool dropped.
“To the three major yakuza leaders in Japan, executives of the Japan Business Federation, people at the Japanese embassy, the leader and senior members of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party… .”
Is it good?
‘If you want to resolve the issues related to the Nakamura real estate that your maternal grandfather gave you, these are the people you should meet at least once. You came to me on your own.’
The teacher snatched the road notebook from the hands of the rambling man.
“These are people you can ignore.”
The teacher closed the notebook as if he was sorry.
“There is no reason for the master to bow down and go in, and it is difficult to look good by getting involved with those guys.”
The teacher let out a displeased sound.
“You didn’t even entrust me with the money, and yet you’re so persistent in trying to extort money from me. What a bunch of rascals you are!”
“Are those damn beggars coming here again to beg under the pretext of paying their respects? Oh man, this is so tiresome!”
No good words came out of the mouth of the bluffering horse.
Now that I think about it, these people were active in the independence movement back in the day.
But I’m saying this because I’m tempted.
“Please make sure to get individual guestbook entries from Japanese visitors.”
“Master!”
“That’s because there’s a lot that needs to be ripped out.”
“Ohhhhh!”
The eyes of the Master and the horse’s head lit up.
