Episode 307: The Successor

Bang Se-ok immediately answered Do-jun’s words.

– You need help from the country? Of course we should help you. We will help you in any way we can. But, Mr. Hwang, what is the method?

Do-jun laughed inwardly after hearing Bang Se-ok’s urgent words.

‘This kid. Seeing how urgent it is, there really must be something in that file.’

Until now, Do-jun had only heard that the hacked files contained national secrets.

But while I was working at the National Intelligence Service, I overheard Gong Pan-seok and his team members talking while smoking a cigarette.

Of course, when Do-jun appeared, they quickly stopped talking, and Do-jun pretended not to hear, but Do-jun had already heard the important story.

‘A file containing corruption of Director Bang and figures in the political and business world?’

At first, Do-jun thought it was just a rumor, but after seeing Bang Se-ok’s reaction, he started to think it was true.

‘That file contains the director’s fatal weakness. If I use it, the director will have no choice but to listen to me.’

Do-jun said to Director Bang.

“Director, do you know about the Red Cross?”

– The Red Cross? I know. But why?

“Let’s say we use the Red Cross to build a hospital in North Korea.”

– A hospital? No. Don’t you know that the relationship between North and South Korea is at its worst right now? The people will never tolerate it.

“It would be impossible in a general hospital. But what about a children’s hospital? What could be wrong with the child? Why not just say that we are providing support on humanitarian grounds?”

After thinking for a moment about Do-jun’s words, Bang Se-ok answered.

– Normally, it would be fine, but the relationship between North and South Korea is really bad right now. There is even talk of closing down the Kaesong Industrial Complex. It will be hard for North Korea, but persuading the government won’t be easy either.

“But if you’re the director, I’m sure there’s a way, right?”

– Haa, so this is why we need the country’s help.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Bang Se-ok answered while gritting his teeth.

– It’s hard, but… I’ll try.

“Thank you. There is one more thing, but I will tell you about it after I convince the government. First, let me know when the results come out.”

– You have one more? Oh… Okay, I see. I’ll contact you shortly.

Do-jun hung up the phone with Bang Se-ok, left the coffee shop, and went to Han Jeong-su.

“Representative Han.”

“Ah. Mr. Hwang. Are you done with the urgent matter?”

Dojun answered with a big smile.

“Yes. And Mr. Han, I wonder if there might be some good news for you.”

“Yes? It’s good now, but is there any better news?”

Dojun said, pointing to the lot next to the children’s hospital with his hand.

“If things go well, I think I can buy those lands.”

Bang Se-ok shouted in surprise.

“That land… …? I asked the government, and they said they would never sell that land?”

Do-jun smiled and recalled the phone call he had with Bang Se-ok a little while ago.

“I just contacted someone I know in the government, and he said there is a way. I will look into it, so Representative Han, please proceed with the project assuming that a children’s hospital will be built on that land.”

* * *

It was two days later that Do-jun received another call from Bang Se-ok. Bang Se-ok asked him to meet her, so Do-jun went to a coffee shop in Segok-dong.

‘This is still a rural area. But this place will change completely in a few years.’

Segok-dong was a neighborhood right next to Seongnam Airport.

Because of the height restriction due to the airport, this area has not been developed for a long time. Not only Segok-dong, but also the surrounding neighborhoods have not been developed.

However, a few years later, Wiryeseong New Town was built and Segok-dong was also developed around the same time.

‘The price of land here is going to be really expensive. Should I buy it in advance?’

After waiting a moment, Director Bang Se-ok came in.

There was no one in the coffee shop. That was because Dojun had rented out the coffee shop today. He said he would give me 20 million won, so I said I would give him the whole day.

Bang Se-ok would usually greet Do-jun cheerfully, but today was different.

“Representative Hwang. I’m a little late.”

Bang Se-ok’s voice was hoarse. And that wasn’t all. There were dark circles under her eyes, and her face looked tired.

“No, I just got here. What would you like to eat?”

“I’ll have yuzu tea.”

After a while, when the citron tea arrived, Bang Se-ok took a sip and said.

“First of all, I convinced the government.”

“As expected… you are the director.”

“It wasn’t easy. But… I really tried hard for the country.”

What Director Bang said was true. It really wasn’t easy.

Relations between the North and South are not good, so suggesting that we provide support for a children’s hospital in North Korea was absolutely crazy.

Of course, the government opposed it. But when Bang Se-ok said that the corruption files had been handed over to North Korea and that their corruption was in those files, the government officials had no choice but to accept it.

However, during the process, there was a lot of pressure and abuse directed at Bang Se-ok.

“Director, thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s not over yet. We have to contact North Korea and persuade them. We don’t know if they will accept our offer. And there’s something more important.”

Bang Se-ok looked at Do-jun and asked.

“The purpose of this work is to delete the stolen files. To do that, Mr. Hwang needs to access the North Korean network, but Mr. Hwang and the children’s hospital have no connection, right? Right now, there is no reason to go to North Korea.”

At those words, Do-jun smiled and handed over his cell phone. There was an article on it saying that Do-jun and Next CEO Han Jeong-su were establishing a ‘children’s hospital’ in Sangam-dong.

“The director is having a hard time, so I can’t just sit back and do nothing. I’ve created a foundation, and I’m planning to build a children’s hospital here. As you can see in the article, it says that it will support children not only in Korea but also overseas. Then, wouldn’t it be possible to build one in North Korea as well?”

Bang Se-ok, who had read the entire article, had a dejected expression on his face.

“It seems like you have a plan, sir. This is more than enough justification.”

“But, Director, there is something I find a bit disappointing.”

Bang Se-ok asked Do-jun, who looked as if he had lost all strength.

“What is it that you regret?”

“I’m talking about the site of the children’s hospital in Korea. It’s too small. If I had my way, I would buy the site next to it and build a bigger one. But if it were that big, wouldn’t North Korea trust me? If a person who builds a small hospital says he’ll build a hospital in North Korea, would they trust me?”

“… Of course. Then why don’t you just buy it? Mr. Hwang, don’t you have a lot of money?”

Dojun said with a sigh.

“I want to do that, but I can’t because the land is national property.”

“ah!”

Dojun reached out and grabbed Director Bang’s hand.

“Director, please help me buy this land. I will give you a generous amount of compensation separately.”

Only then did Bang Se-ok realize what Do-jun wanted.

‘Is this kid using me right now?’

Bang Se-ok felt the urge to curse rise to her throat, but she held it back.

Bang Se-ok has lived her entire life threatening and exploiting other people, but she has never been treated like this.

‘Damn it! I want to refuse, but I have no reason to. I might actually be refused because of the size of the hospital. I have to do it eventually. But to do this, I have to say something regrettable to the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport…’

The Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and I had a heated argument a few days ago. Bang Se-ok trembled as she answered, thinking that she had to convince him.

“Okay… Okay. Then, please take care of the lottery.”

Bang Se-ok spoke while gritting her teeth, and Do-jun answered with a cool smile.

“Of course. Please look forward to it.”

Bang Se-ok sent a message the very next day.

[Land negotiations have ended.]

The message also included the price of the land, and since it was state-owned, the price was extremely cheap.

‘Oh my! I never expected this, I hit the jackpot.’

Dojun went straight to Pangyo and met Han Jeong-su.

“Yes? You really bought the national land?”

“Yes. The negotiation went well. So let’s do another proper promotion this time. Together.”

Last time, they only leaked it to a small media outlet, but this time, they invited reporters from major daily newspapers and held a press conference at the site where the ‘children’s hospital’ will be built.

[Black Cat Studio and Next. Establishing a hospital for children.]

[Community service by game companies. Establishment of a children’s hospital in Gangbuk.]

[CEO Hwang Do-jun and CEO Han Jeong-su. Promise to continue donating to this hospital in the future.]

[Representative Han Jeong-su. I will build a hospital for children not only in Korea but also later on around the world.]

The article was published not only in newspapers but also on the news. People reacted greatly to it.

– Wow. You must have made a lot of money to build a children’s hospital on that large site.

– Haha. I played a big part in building that hospital.

– I’ve cursed at game companies a lot, but I can’t curse at them like this?

– That’s great. There aren’t many children’s hospitals in our country, so it would be great if one were created.

The comments were all praising Next and Black Cat. This was Dojun’s intention. However, the public opinion flowed a little strangely.

The two game companies are doing this kind of social service, so what are the other game companies doing?

Seeing this atmosphere, other game companies also began to move one by one.

Other game companies have said they will donate to the ‘Children’s Hospital’.

[Laniji donates 5 billion to children’s hospital. CEO Song Yoo-taek. Children are the hope of the future.]

[Laonzena CEO Han Gyu-sik donates 10 billion won to children’s hospitals. I hope that children’s hospitals will be built in more places, not just in our country.]

Starting with these two companies, several game companies began donating to the ‘Children’s Hospital’. The donation amount quickly exceeded 100 billion won.

Do-jun and Han Jeong-su were surprised when donations poured in. This was because they had never expected it.

“Mr. Hwang, what should we do with this? There are just too many donations.”

Do-jun scratched the back of his head for a moment and answered to CEO Han Jeong-su’s words.

“It’s not a problem if you don’t have money, but would you be worried if you had a lot?”

“But… even gamers are stepping forward to donate.”

“Well, then I guess I can start several businesses at the same time.”

“Yes? At the same time?”

“Yes. Let’s build another children’s hospital in the province and expand into overseas markets as well.”

Han Jeong-su’s eyes grew wide.

“Overseas… isn’t it too early? And I don’t know anyone at the Red Cross.”

Dojun chuckled.

“Don’t worry about that. I have a friend in the Red Cross. I told you last time. I have a friend in the government. And there was a country that he wanted to help.”

“Oh. Really? Then that’s no problem. But what country is that?”

Dojun answered with a sly smile.

“North Korea.”

And that day, the news broke.

[Children’s Games Foundation decides to establish one more children’s hospital in the province.]

[Children’s Games Foundation Offers to Build Children’s Hospital if North Korea Wants It]

Dojun saw the article at home. But then it happened.

“Why? Morning Star.”

“how?”

Dojun, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly sat up.

“What? Then, can a copycat come in?”

Dojun clenched his fist.

‘If that’s the case, Copycat might be able to approach the Emperor AI inside the black tree.’

Dojun knew exactly where this change had come from.

“Morning Star, keep an eye out. If you succeed this time, you might be able to break through the Black Tree.”

But there was someone watching all of this.

* * *

Bang Se-ok’s face turned pale as she watched the news.

CNN in the United States was broadcasting breaking news about North Korea.

[Machines are being sold from North Korea to China. Experts say that these machines are ‘equipment’ that was in the ‘Kaesong Industrial Complex.’]

Bang Se-ok looked at Do-jun and spoke urgently.

“These crazy kids, just yesterday they asked for a few days, and now they’re trying to do this? What are we going to do, Mr. Hwang? If we do this, everything’s over.”

At Bang Se-ok’s words, Do-jun turned his head away from watching the news for a moment.

“Director.”

“yes.”

“I don’t think you have to worry.”

Bang Se-ok asked with her eyes wide open.

“Yes? Mr. Hwang. You don’t seem to know the situation. If you do this, it’s over. Over! Even if you have no food, you crazy bastards are still selling other countries’ equipment as you please?”

Dojun shook his head.

“Director Bang. Maybe that… wasn’t something North Korea led.”

“Yes? Then who?”

Dojun smiled inwardly.

‘You’ve made a move, Shi Huang AI! It’s obvious that you’ve sent a lucky letter this time too. However, if you’ve made this much of a move, you must have negotiated with the Chinese high-ranking officials.’

Dojun seemed to have a rough idea of ​​how things were going.

‘But I made a mistake. Do you know what that is? The fact that you reacted so hastily tells me that what I’m doing right now is the right thing to do.’

Dojun spoke, recalling what had happened in his past life.

“Director, can you convey this message to North Korea?”

* * *

Lee Un-cheol heard a strange rumor circulating among the upper echelons of Pyongyang.

‘What? You said you got a call from the south saying you’d like to build a children’s hospital?’

When he heard the words “children’s hospital,” Lee Woon-chul secretly searched the Internet.

‘A children’s game foundation established by South Korean game company CEOs Hwang Do-jun and Han Jeong-su?’

Looking at the situation, it seemed that it was not the South Korean government that took the lead, but rather a ‘private organization’ that stepped forward to help.

Lee Yun-cheol was cynical.

‘You fools, can’t you tell the time and place? You’re going to help me at this time?’

At the moment, North Korea’s relationship with South Korea was at its worst. There was no way a ‘children’s hospital’ could be built while they were even trying to close the Kaesong Industrial Complex.

Lee Yun-cheol just tried to ignore it. But he couldn’t do that because his son was in the hospital.

‘If… there is a children’s hospital, wouldn’t our Hyunjin be able to receive treatment?’

Of course, there was a ‘broker’ who contacted me and said he would give me the clinical treatment, but honestly, I couldn’t believe it.

‘Besides, there’s no guarantee that the medicine will cure you.’

Lee Yun-cheol, who had that thought, was able to look into ‘South Korea’s proposal’ through his connections.

‘What? You can get chemotherapy? And you can even get the leukemia treatment Venclexta if you want it? And it’s free?’

Of course, since it was free, there was a limit to the number of people, but this was huge.

If only a children’s hospital could be brought into North Korea, it would open the possibility of treating North Korean children with cancer.

‘Plus, they said they’re going to use a nearby building to create a temporary treatment center while the hospital is being built.’

Lee Yun-cheol clenched his fists. If this was true, his son could also receive treatment if he just went to the ‘Children’s Hospital.’

But Lee Yun-cheol lowered his head because he knew that South Korea’s proposal would never pass.

‘I would never accept it because of my pride.’

Lee Yun-cheol, who was exhausted, looked at the rest of the South’s proposals.

‘A clinic that makes sick and weak children strong?’

Lee Yun-cheol couldn’t understand why something like this was included.

‘Is this popular in South Korea? But North Korea doesn’t need this… .’

Lee Yun-cheol shook his head.

‘Let’s give up. Let’s just contact the broker like we always did.’

Lee Yun-cheol gave up like that. But there was someone in North Korea who found this proposal interesting.

“Oh my, my princess.”

North Korea’s Workers’ Party Chairman Kim Jong-un smiled while holding his ‘daughter’ Kim Ju-ae.

“Oh my, I need to change my baby’s diaper.”

At Kim Jong-un’s words, the nanny came running and sat down with Kim Joo-ae.

Kim Joo-ae was just a month old. Even though she was only a month old, she saw herself in her daughter’s face.

‘Unlike the first one, this one looks just like me.’

That’s why Kim Jong-un liked Kim Joo-ae so much.

After a while, Kim Jong-un left the room and went to another room, where he saw a skinny boy lying on the bed and sleeping.

“Haa. Even though I fed him everything he said was good, why is his health still so bad… … .”

Physique was very important in the Baekdu bloodline, because they had to have a sturdy appearance like Kim Il-sung.

He also gained a lot of weight to do so.

‘Would it be okay if I grew up a little bigger? If I continue to be like this later on, I shouldn’t be like this. Maybe I should give the succession position to Ju-ae.’

I would have liked to have called in medical staff from all over the world, but I couldn’t.

Because his family relations were linked to the question of succession, they were kept top secret.

Kim Jong-un took a deep breath and went to his office. There was a report on his desk.

‘Huh? You’re going to build a children’s hospital in South Korea?’

Kim Jong-un, who recently thought about inter-Korean relations, was about to say ‘impossible’, but opened the document out of curiosity.

The idea was that the children’s hospital was a gimmick and that there might actually be ‘income’ coming from the hospital.

I looked at the Kim Jong-un report. Unfortunately, there was nothing in it that could be considered as ‘import’.

But there was one sentence that caught his eye.

‘A clinic that makes sick and weak children strong?’
