[132] A piece of pie 3
It was the first time I thought that the house was narrow.
I understand that the board members of the medical foundation came to say hello to the new chairman. I understand even the directors of five local medical centers.
However, the chiefs were a bit harsh. Including managers who moved to Seoul from the provinces, the number is close to 100.
Since there are more than 30 medical departments, it should be seen that all the important chiefs of the hospital have come running. Only doctors who were not interested in career advancement did not come.
The father also showed a look of bewilderment. In a little while, people from the film industry will come… Then it’s sure to be a mess.
That’s why I can’t shut down the door. I quickly called my aunt.
“aunt. Can you vacate the Gangnam Hotel Banquet Hall urgently? About 100 people… arrive in about 30 minutes. I have to prepare food and drinks too…”
– Who’s asking, can’t you? don’t worry I’ll set it up.
My aunt’s cheerful snort rang out.
“father. Board members and directors come into the house and say hello. Doctors ordered meals at the hotel. Everyone is alumni or senior-junior, so let’s have a drink.”
“That’s right. Good job.”
Use it again at this time. How many rituals have you performed in the past? Even if something unexpected happened, it had to go smoothly. The wits at that time hadn’t died yet.
As the doctors left, the father took a breather and entertained the guests. You didn’t forget what I thought was especially important.
I quickly called the directors and confirmed the VIP patients and the secret patients in the VVIP wards, which only have 20 per hospital.
Aren’t they the ones who should come quickly and greet the New Year in person, even if it’s not today? I am always thankful for the person who comes to visit me when I am sick and take care of my regards.
The New Year’s mood got even better because of the people from the film industry who came after. The directors of the foundation and the directors of the hospital passed out business cards to the stars they had only seen on the screen, and when they opened their faces, the expression changed to a windfall.
After a bout of serving guests until the afternoon, only my family was left.
My father, still a little drunk, called me quietly and went out into the garden.
“The cold air makes you sober.”
“Are you going to say something so important that you need to run out of alcohol?”
My father glanced at me and poked me in the side.
“I really don’t care if my son notices…”
My father calmly talked about everything that happened in the study today. As soon as my father’s story was over, the person who came to mind was my aunt.
Will you give up half your stake as promised?
And one word that catches my attention.
“The financial part?”
“okay. What do you think? Do you think grandpa will give you the finance part?”
“yes.”
answered confidently. With the addition of sajok.
“If there is no interference from the uncles, they will pass it naturally. However, it will take some time to sort out the stakes in affiliates, right? You never know what’s going to happen inside it, right?”
“What do you mean?”
“I only took care of my aunt. The two uncles only secured personnel rights. But no one can predict Grandpa’s whims, so no one knows how it will turn out.”
My father breathed in the cold winter air and was lost in thought.
Eventually,
he said, “Don’t try to do anything alone, talk when you need help. If it ever comes down to it, I won’t even grab you by the collar.”
“I don’t think the uncles will be the first to grab him by the collar, right? haha.”
Before that, starting with my aunt……

On the second day of the new year, Mayor Choi Chang-je adjusted his clothes in front of the library and quietly knocked on the door.
There was no response, but I quietly opened the door and entered.
“oh my. Welcome Mayor Choi. You don’t have to come to New Year’s greetings cumbersomely. haha.”
Nervous, Mayor Choi unknowingly grabbed Chairman Jin’s rough hand as he smiled brightly at him.
However, the word Choi Seo-bang, not the title Choi Seo-bang, that came out of his mouth bothered me.
“I’m sorry, father-in-law. I should have come early, but I am very late.”
“You are busy with official duties, what do you care about? It’s fine.”
Mayor Choi realized what kind of person he thought of himself from Chairman Jin’s tone of voice.
He is not Sunyang’s son-in-law, but only the mayor of Seoul. Mayor Choi jumped up from his chair and knelt on the floor of the study.
“Father-in-law. Sorry please give me one more chance. I was drunk with power for a while and went crazy. Please forgive me.”
Chairman Jin threw out a low but firm word to Mayor Choi, who was lying flat on his stomach.
“it’s over. stop getting up.”
it’s over…!
These are the words that came out of the mouth of the president. irreversible this is immutable
Mayor Choi continued to lie on his face and stiffen. He lost the business card of Chairman Jin’s son-in-law, but he could not throw away the business card of politician Choi Chang-je.
I know very well that I will have to say goodbye to Chairman Jin in order to keep this business card. If that old man makes up his mind, his life will turn into hell.
“Forgive me!”
It is useless to ask for a chance, but I had to convey my desire for forgiveness.
Mayor Choi unpacked the gift bag he had brought with him as Jin Do-jun had told him. You should be forgiven for this.
“The New Town plan we promised with Daehyeon Group has been scrapped. If my father-in-law gives me a chance, I will come up with a new New Town plan.”
Mayor Choi hoped that Chairman Jin’s will to make and give in the desired place and size would be conveyed properly.
“Stop standing up.”
Mayor Choi slowly got up and sat down in a chair.
“What can I say? Keep it short so that this old man can understand.”
“I will do whatever you ask.”
“Isn’t that going to change anything?”
“I will do whatever you ask.”
“The divorce will proceed. It’s not that Seoyoon reluctantly followed my will. That kid decided. It means that no matter what, you can’t set foot in our house.
“I will do whatever you ask.”
“Heh heh…”
Chairman Jin laughed as he saw Mayor Choi repeating the same words like a madman with his head down.
The root is fine.
No matter how great Sunyang’s power is, at times like this, the man who fights with venom like a man picks and eats the big fruit.
Isn’t a piece of watermelon better than a few strawberries?
Chairman Jin left a last word of request and a warning at the same time.
“Forget everything you’ve seen and heard since you’ve been a member of this family for over 20 years. You will become a complete stranger. Then I will treat you as a stranger. Can you understand what I mean?”
To Mayor Choi, the word “complete stranger” did not sound so welcome.
It is someone else who has no regrets, anger, or expectations.
Doesn’t that mean that if you keep your mouth shut, at least you won’t get in the way? Because no one interferes in other people’s lives.
He is still the mayor of Seoul. There is still a lot of term left. It is not difficult to solidify the political foundation within it.
“I will forget everything.”
“I’m glad you understand. stop going We will never see each other again.”
“Father-in-law… No, Chairman. I am still the mayor of Seoul. As the mayor of Seoul, wouldn’t it be possible to meet the president?”
“What are you saying so arrogantly? Even if the Blue House calls, it’s all about showing your face just once right after the election. Do I look so free? Meet the mayor of Seoul in person? If you want to talk about work, you should know where to contact.”
Each case is different. You can usually meet with the head of the Planning Office of Sunyang Construction or the Group Strategy Office.
The mayor of Seoul is limited to executive directors or vice presidents of the Sunyang Group.
“Oh sorry. I have committed rudeness.”
“Let’s go.”
Mayor Choi stood up from his seat and carefully opened his mouth. This is my last request.
“And… if you think of old friendships…” ”
Did you forget the word ‘other’? There is no past between us.”
Seeing Chairman Jin coldly cut off his words, even the last ray of hope disappeared.
The mainstay of the family, the law firm, now has to close. One source of abundant income, if not immediately, disappears.
If the place where the whole house was hung collapses, you are the only hope and lighthouse. To feed the whole family, a lot of work has to be done and done.
Family members who are already accustomed to an affluent life. You have to work really hard to make them live a bare minimum.

“I heard about it from my father. Congratulations Auntie. You became the chairman of Sunyang Department Store Group. haha.”
“congratulations. Mr Jin. No, should I call you the president now?”
My aunt smiled brightly and greeted CEO Oh Se-hyun.
Now, as if he didn’t care at all about his uncle’s situation, he started living in a hotel again. still a gorgeous woman
“Oh hey, you’re the president? Don’t talk like that. It’s embarrassing. Anyway, thanks, all thanks to CEO Oh.”
“What are you saying? What did I do…”
“No. Our Dojun learned from CEO Oh and grew up this wonderfully. I only believe in Do-joon.”
He patted my butt and sat down on the spacious sofa. The posture of sitting in the middle seat has already changed. He was even more arrogant and haughty.
“What I wanted to see you. I’d like to suggest that we do some work together. I really want you to be with me.”
Oh Se-hyun met my eyes and nodded.
“Working with Sunyang Department Store Group is a great opportunity for me too.”
My aunt held out a thick file folder.
“Please take a look at this. It is a debt that our department store group has to repay to Sunyang Group while separating affiliates. Our executives expressed the opinion that the large discount store chain could not handle it until it turned a profit.”
Se-hyeon Oh, who quickly snatched up the documents, takes a long sigh after looking into it for a long time.
“Securing a site for a chain store and construction costs are not easy. Expected sales targets for hotels and department stores are a bit excessive. It’s kind of hard to hope for this amount of sales in a recession like these days…”
If you press it from above, the people below must have created an excessive number. If the department store hotel fails to generate sales, the debt grows and the interest is unaffordable.
Aunt Oh’s expression did not change, as if she had already expected Oh Se-hyeon’s negative evaluation.
“Wouldn’t it be irrational to open four discount stores by next year? It would only increase the financial burden.”
“This is the first business I have since I took over. The hypermarket chain business cannot be postponed. It’s a matter of ability within the group. If there is even the slightest word of postponement or giving up, it will be the case that there has been no separation of affiliates. No.”
When Oh Se-hyeon and my aunt had a realistic story, I discovered her true heart.
My aunt wants to change the creditor.
The eldest son, who thinks every brick of Sunyang Group is his, and the second brother, who prides himself on being the president’s vessel, show their claws in an attempt to take back the younger sister’s share.
Aunt avoids the claws and wants a third person, Miracle. And he carefully revealed his true feelings.
“So I’d like to propose it to CEO Oh.”
“yes. Please speak.”
“Couldn’t Daeah Construction take over the construction of a large discount store chain?”
Oh, you come up with an idea like this.
It shows the determination to solidify a certain area without missing this opportunity.
