The Highest Level Son of a Chaebol Family - Chapter 377



Only Noblemtl

377. The best option is another way.

The president, who had been walking briskly, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The eyes looking back were sharp.

“Director Kim.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The Chief of Staff to the President answered loudly.

“You take care of the Saemaul Foundation list yourself.”

“Yes, I understand!”

Taesung makes a list of donations for the New Year’s Eve party.

The Saemaul Foundation was the president’s political fund, so there was unspoken pressure to behave properly.

This means that you shouldn’t think lightly about giving advice just because the president is out of office.

“Take those who don’t have any sense to the security office and interview them.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The chief of security at the Blue House also answered loudly.

The President’s eyes turned to the vice ministers of each department.

“They’re the Olympics and the Asian Games, are you just going to stand there blankly?”

“no!”

“Follow me with all your heart.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

I won’t tell you to just follow me even if you die soon.

The high-ranking officials of each department nodded with an expression of approval.

On the other hand, the way he looked at his father was quite complicated.

‘Is it somehow similar to the way President Shim looks at me?’

When my father opened his mouth about the possibility of a second oil shock at a private drinking party.

I heard they were working hard to prepare the report to the president’s request.

The deadline was quite tight.

The president snapped his fingers.

“Those who paid more than 500 million, wait in front of the room.”

The heads of conglomerates who were ripped off while crying.

My sagging body regained its strength.

“If you dedicate yourself with patriotic heart, the country should respond to your wishes.”

It meant that he would pass on the beans.

This government raised the banner of eradicating corruption, but turned a blind eye to the collusion between politics and business that was taking place behind the scenes.

“let’s go.”

The president, having finished his business, left the hall without looking back.

My grandfather washed his face repeatedly.

“The Asian Games and the Olympics? What about the map? And when did you propose cooperation to the chairman of the Geumjo Group?”

The moment he raised his head with a complicated expression, for some reason our eyes met.

Grandfather let out a hollow laugh.

“Surely not… right?”

“… … .”

I rolled my eyes.

Because my grandfather’s eyes were shining like he was saying, ‘Got you, you punk!’

“Blue sticker, right?”

“… … .”

“It was Taesung who suggested it first, and it was Chairman Cho of the Geumjo Group who stirred things up.”

What? Why? What?

The business proposal was made first by Chairman Cho of the Geumjo Group, not by me?

“I just returned it as a gift because I received it… … Ugh!”

My grandfather immediately hugged me.

Our eye levels were aligned.

“Did you send the note?”

“… … .”

It was a question full of confidence.

I can’t bring myself to lie and say no.

“It says that he is Taesung’s brain?”

“oh my!”

My grandfather hugged me tightly.

“Our lucky boy has done it again! My kid is the best after all!”

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

Oh no, I got caught up in a noisy bang before I knew it.

No, my body!

If you burst out laughing like a child here and say it’s good, you’ll really become a dark history that will be teased for generations!

I bit my lips hard.

“Are you putting up with this?”

Grandpa’s storm of kisses was a bonus.

“Well done.”

Grandfather smiled proudly.

“If Sungjun hadn’t come out in time, the sound of the bell would have resonated.”

The President’s demands were getting higher and higher.

Even though the conglomerate was struggling financially due to the recession, they didn’t show any mercy.

“It was quite an awkward situation for the event organizers who invited guests.”

My grandfather stroked my head.

“What a clever guy. Since when did he start doing such cute things?”

“Chairman Cha.”

“Chief of Staff.”

My grandfather hid me behind his back.

The chief of staff tilted his head to one side.

“Chairman Cha also went up.”

“Ah, Taesung couldn’t fill 500 million… … .”

“I’m going to get annoyed by this barrage of questions.”

Sure enough, people were slowly crowding around us.

Since Taesung’s brain was the first to make the suggestion, it would be natural to think that his grandfather, the head of Taesung Group, would have been informed about it in advance.

“Thank you for your consideration.”

“I should be the one thanking you for your consideration.”

The chief of staff smiled brightly.

“Don’t worry about Yugong.”

With those words, the chief of staff left the hall.

It was to head upstairs.

He walked forward confidently, giving instructions to his subordinates who followed him.

“I will monitor Japan’s efforts to host the Asian Games and the Olympics and report back to you.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Let’s pick a list of organizing committee members.”

“yes.”

“Also, please include a list of Japanese lobbyists who had contact with them.”

“yes.”

The Central Intelligence Agency was an intelligence agency responsible for domestic and international intelligence operations.

The chief of security at the Blue House suddenly barged in front of the chief of staff.

He deliberately hit the chief of police on the shoulder and pushed him away.

“Stay back. Who are you talking to right now? Me first!”

“What about the instructions Your Majesty gave?”

“Do I have to personally go and interview those pyramids individually? Your Majesty’s security is the top priority!”

It was a threat that the 24-hour close protection of the president was the responsibility of the chief of security at the Blue House.

The chief of the Blue House security service glared at the head of the Central Intelligence Agency.

“Do not show off too much. It is annoying.”

“It’s disgusting to see someone running wild without knowing the topic.”

The chief of staff chuckled.

“The guys who followed Choi Il-tae are gathered there. Shouldn’t we start from there?”

The chief of security at the Blue House was heavily criticized by the president for accepting bribes from Rep. Choi Il-tae.

I was taking care of myself and reflecting on that, and the person who confessed this was the head of the central government.

“Or, go to those guys who are offering to donate to the Saemaul Foundation. That would be a great opportunity to take advantage of it without Your Majesty knowing.”

“This kid… … !”

puck!

The chief of security at the Blue House swung his fist.

Screams of horror echoed through the crowd.

The chief of police spat out blood.

“You hit it first.”

puck!

The chief of police’s fist followed as if it were a given.

As the Chief of Security Service of the Blue House and the Chief of the Central Intelligence Agency began to fight in earnest, their subordinates immediately rushed out.

It quickly turned into a fight.

“oh my.”

Grandfather touched his forehead.

He quickly handed me over to Yoo Jong-tae, who was holding me.

My grandmother and mother also pushed me away.

“Director Ko, clear up the area so the commotion doesn’t spread any further!”

“Yes, sir.”

As the muscular CEO gestured, Taesung Group’s bodyguards rushed in.

For the safety of the guests, we kept a distance and protected them from flying chairs and other items.

“Oh my god. What the hell is going on?”

“They say the chief of the Blue House security service and the chief of the Central Intelligence Agency are like enemies. I guess it’s true.”

“Your Majesty, you must have a headache too.”

People retreated to the surrounding area, muttering.

When Taesung Group security guards intervened to stop the fight, the Jung Jung agents and the Blue House security guards split into two groups, grumbling.

The chief of staff shook his head.

The area under his eye was torn and covered in blood.

“It’s a shame to be called His Majesty’s bodyguard. You cotton-fisted brat.”

“You always soak the kids in water, and now they’ve become water fists.”

The chief of security at the Blue House stole coffee.

The corners of his mouth were torn, and his exposed teeth were covered in blood.

“Kim Jae-guk, just know that I won’t let this go.”

“Why? Are you going to kneel down in front of His Majesty and cry and beg again this time?”

“I’m different from you. I’m the one who stays by Your Majesty’s side 24 hours a day.”

The face of the chief of security at the Blue House was full of venom and malice.

“Are you so arrogant that you have Busan under your control? Alright. Then just wait and see.”

The chief of security at the Blue House turned his back.

He walked nervously, snorting loudly.

“You’re going to take your clothes off because of Busan, kid.”

This time, the Chief of Staff of the Central Intelligence Agency shoulder-butted and pushed aside the Chief of Security of the Blue House, who was walking ahead.

“If we met in private, you’d be shot dead, you little shit.”

It felt like I was caught in a storm.

The hall was in chaos, and people were murmuring.

Taesung Hotel CEO Hwang went up to the stage and tried to control the situation, but it was not easy to calm down the very agitated people.

“This is a mess.”

The Army Security Commander walked away with a satisfied look on his face.

The people remaining in the hall gathered in twos and threes and whispered.

People also gathered around Honorary Chairman Kim Woo-kwang and Chairman Kim Dae-sik of Wookwang.

“Mr. Chairman, shall we send out a scoop?”

Woo Kwang was an expert at lobbying and media play.

The trumpeter of the regime.

That was the lifeline that Kim Dae-sik of Wookwang Group held onto.

Honorary Chairman Kim Woo-kwang opened his mouth.

“You guys should step forward and make sure the press is properly monitored.”

“yes?”

“Do you intend to look bad to the Central Intelligence Agency and the Blue House security service?”

It’s a headache when you become the target of anger.

“If I’m unlucky, I’ll end up splashing shit all over Wookwang Newspaper and Wookwang Broadcasting.”

“Yes, sir.”

The executives of Wookwang’s affiliates stepped in to personally handle the situation.

Honorary Chairman Kim Woo-kwang stared with narrowed eyes at the place where the Chief of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Chief of the Blue House Security Service had left.

“Daeshik-ah, it seems like a golden opportunity has come for Woo-kwang to make a comeback.”

“So you mean to widen the gap between the two of you?”

Wookwang’s young chairman, Kim Dae-sik, immediately understood what was being said and his eyes lit up.

“Who would you choose between the Chief of Staff of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Chief of Security at the Blue House?”

“Give strength to the Chief of Security Service of the Blue House.”

Among the words of the Chief of Staff, the part that stuck in my ears was, ‘Choi Il-tae, who secretly ate it for you, knelt down in front of you and cried and begged you.’

Honorary Chairman Kim Woo-kwang stroked his chin.

“Your Majesty is not a generous person. There is no second chance.”

“Yes? Then shouldn’t we give strength to the Chief of Staff?”

“therefore.”

Honorary Chairman Kim Woo-kwang smiled.

“Do you remember why I stepped down from the leadership position?”

“ah……!”

Honorary Chairman Kim Woo-kwang had to resign due to the Wookwang Construction bribery ledger and Wookwang Chemical scandal.

Chairman Kim Dae-sik groaned softly.

“So you’re telling me to go to the head of the Central Intelligence Agency with the bribe ledger that was fed to the chief of security at the Blue House?”

At the moment when Honorary Chairman Kim Woo-kwang’s smile was about to deepen, Chairman Kim Dae-sik shook his head.

“I’ll use that as a second option.”

“hmm?”

“There is another best option.”

A look of puzzlement appeared on Honorary Chairman Kim Woo-kwang’s face.

But Chairman Kim Dae-sik’s face was full of confidence.

“I plan to get on the same boat as Taesung Brain.”

It was a ship that I was barely able to get on after paying a painful tuition fee.

Chairman Kim Dae-sik smiled bitterly.

“I can’t just keep whining forever, right?”

* * *

The grim reaper sneaked into the room like smoke.

While the ministers of each department and the president’s closest aides were stuck on the wall, they were not even opening their mouths.

The president sat on the upper sofa, smoking a cigarette.

“Sit down.”

Father and Chairman Cho of the Geumjo Group sat in the positions of power held by the president.

“map.”

My father spread out three high-quality maps he had brought side by side on the table.

Last year at the New Year’s Eve party, he spread out three maps with subway routes drawn on them.

This time, as always, we ended up discussing three maps.

“It’s Jamsil.”

They put a blue sticker on Jamsil Olympic Stadium.

“Why did you choose this place?”

“There are geographical reasons, political reasons and economic reasons.”

“Hmm.”

The President expressed great interest.

“Geographical reasons?”

“It’s very accessible.”

My father pointed to a map of Seoul with his finger.

“The Han River Bridge connecting Gangbuk and Gangnam is being built around strategic points, and major roads are being built thanks to the development of Gangnam.”

“hmm.”

“Unlike Gangbuk, which has already become a downtown area, Gangnam is just beginning urban development, so there are a lot of unused rice paddies and fields. It will also be relatively easy to purchase road land.”

The president just listened in silence.

But his eyes and expression softened, and the speed at which he smoked his cigarette began to slow down.

“For political reasons?”

“You’re putting a lot of effort into developing Gangnam, aren’t you?”

My father continued speaking calmly.

“Following the government’s recommendation, major government offices and schools have already relocated to Gangnam. I believe this is enough to secure housing for the Gangnam apartment development boom.”

“… … .”

“We need sports and cultural facilities for the use of the Gangnam residents who have moved there. The gymnasium can be used as a performance hall or a speech hall when necessary.”

My father poked at the blue sticker.

“Also, if a large-scale sports facility is built in Jamsil, it will be able to give strength to the sports promotion policy.”

“hmm.”

“Up until now, we have focused on fostering elite sports to enhance national prestige, but that alone is not enough.”

“hmm?”

The president leaned in.

“More details.”

“As the Korean economy develops, the income level of the people has also improved, and as a result, the gap between the rich and the poor and income inequality are emerging as social problems.”

The labor movement was becoming increasingly intense.

“In particular, public discontent has reached a dangerous level in the aftermath of the oil shocks that occurred one after another.”

“Hoo.”

“Don’t you think we should direct our discontent towards the government elsewhere?”

Father smiled brightly.

“Sports will become a healthy form of entertainment that will excite the people.”

The president dropped the cigarette he was smoking.
