[179] Spring has come, but 3
is a bodyguard or security agent, but in reality, it is not different from a benign wage-earner gangster.
Of course, he is not a real gangster. Most of them are from bodyguards or soldiers, but apart from security work, the work they do is illegal.
Will there ever be a case where I instruct them to do something other than security?
“What are you so surprised about?”
“no. There are too many people.”
“Don’t even think about adding more just because it’s not enough.”
Looking at the meaningful smile of the grandfather, the temptation of illegality seems to be great.
Did I mention that the thing closer than the law is the fist?
When a problem arises, it can be solved secretly and cleanly with just a word. With a well-trained force of 50 men at your side, how tempting is it to use them?
“Director Woo will prioritize your instructions from now on. We will be on call 24 hours a day, so call us whenever you need.”
“Do you handle everything?”
“okay. I’ll take care of everything you want. But don’t forget one thing. It’s better not to let them do things that hurt their egos.”
“Are you talking about trivial things, such as cleaning up with women or getting hit and run while driving under the influence?”
“What are you talking about when you don’t even look at that? Even if that’s the case, aren’t the guys in the Strategy Office sorting things out?”
I know it well, but suddenly the memories of the past came to my mind so vividly that I just said it once.
“So. I can’t even guess what kind of work I will be entrusted with.”
“Then good. If you don’t have to call Woo, you’re doing a good job. But, Do-joon.”
“yes.”
“What if you’re driving safely and some crazy guy rams your car from behind? what about you?”
“I should call the insurance company and inform the police.”
“okay. Woo is going to be that kind of person. insurance company.”
“At least it means that it prevents you from losing money unfairly.”
“Not only that. If you use it well, you can make someone turn around because they feel unfair.”
Grandpa, who speaks casually with a smile, is also a villain.
“By the way, Grandpa.”
“why? Is there anything else you want to ask?”
“Director Byung-Jun Woo… How far can you trust him?”
Grandpa answered without thinking or worrying.
“Even if you tell me the ugly secret hidden in the deepest part of you, only you will die knowing it. Did you get an answer?”
“okay. I get it. I will put it to good use.”
“And you have something to prepare for.”
“yes. Please speak.”
“Since we split the group, we have to split the defense team as well. What to do? How many will I send?”
The group’s lawyers were people who served as judges and prosecutors while receiving scholarships from their grandfathers. They are just money worms who abandoned their legal conscience and joined the group after working for their grandfather and resigning.
I’ve never seen a guy that excels in skills compared to those guys.
So, the lawyers mainly work inside the group, but when a big case breaks out, they end up entrusting it to a large law firm.
They are not scholarship students who ate my money, so they are more likely to become the work of my uncles. They will only harm you, they will not help you at all.
“no. He is a graduate of Korea’s most prestigious law school. I will organize the defense team on my own.”
“okay. Take care of that.”
Grandpa made a surprised expression, but said nothing.
“done. go now There must be a lot of work to do…”
“No. I have a lot of time today. You gave me a big graduation gift, but it’s not polite to just accept the gift and disappear.”
“okay? Would you like a drink then?”
“You should think about your health. I will prepare the tea.”
“Hey. Today is your graduation. Shouldn’t we have at least a glass of celebratory wine?”
“Then have a glass of wine. Just one drink.”
However, one glass turned into a bottle, and they chatted until dawn before returning home.

Vice President Jang Do-hyeong held out three greeting cards.
The stock fire and the past of the person who would sit in the card president’s seat were recorded in great detail.
First of all, I looked at the details of the candidate to take charge of the credit card company.
“Everyone knows that the company won’t last long anyway, but would this person want to sit in the president’s seat?”
“So I chose more carefully. He’s someone who can definitely get things right when things get rough.”
Looking at my eyes, there is something hidden.
Is that the network your grandfather was talking about?
“If we sell the credit card company, will we get this person over there? Isn’t it the day when the sale contract is signed? I don’t think you’ll accept it…?”
“So, after the sale, I promised this person to move to the vice president of Sunyang Life Insurance. Then he readily accepted. I will do my best to raise the value of the company as much as possible until the point of sale.”
A picture was drawn.
Vice President Jang Do-hyeong would have chosen someone close to him and would have offered the position as if he were patronizing. Since the final position is vice president of Sunyang Life Insurance, isn’t that a guarantee of promotion?
By carrying out such a greeting, he proves his power to the entire group, so it’s a good deal.
Shall we apply the brakes as Grandpa said? I have to press hard on Jang Do-hyung’s excited heart.
“That’s not okay.”
“yes?”
“Executives need to be clear. Always keep in mind that the CEO is the last seat. Moving from president of card to vice president of life is effectively a promotion. Because Sunyang Life Insurance’s status in our company is no different from that of Soonyang Electronics.”
“Chief Shi, if that happens, the appointment of the CEO of Sunyang Card is no different from dismissal. I will resign the moment everyone is appointed.”
“Good for you.”
“yes?”
“Among the executives, appoint those who need to be sorted out in turn. How comfortable is it to be able to receive their resignation without much trouble?”
Vice President Jang Do-hyung could not hide his embarrassed expression. It’s because his plans were completely thwarted.
“The position of president of Sunyang Card is like a guillotine. Get rid of all the executives who will harm us, and then Vice President Jang directs the sale.”
“Me?”
“yes. Isn’t the most urgent and important issue for us right now the sale of credit card companies? why? Are you not confident?”
“Oh no. I’ll take it.”
Do you want to be hot?
If you roll even a little bit, you will be in trouble like today. If you repeat this tip a few times, always being careful will become a habit, so let’s release it from then on.
“And the candidate for president of Sunyang Securities. Why did you choose managing director? Is there a vice president?”
“Ah, that vice president had a lot of fine bones at Sunyang Products. Isn’t there a deep relationship with Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki?”
“If you think about it that way, shouldn’t you be cutting most of the executives? Did you go through an affiliate managed by your uncles at least once?”
“…….”
“Didn’t I declare that there is no parachute? If you look at his career, there are more than one or two businesses or projects that have led to success. You can’t insult someone who has made a lot of contributions like this. If you have this level of skill, it is enough to entrust the securities company. Promote the vice president to CEO.”
“yes. All right.”
The voice of Jang Do-hyung, who was dead, crawled in.
Do you think the reins were tight enough?

When March began, when the spirit of spring permeated, Sang-jun hyung completely left the house. My mother kept worrying about Sang-joon, who couldn’t even find a good job, but my father didn’t look worried at all.
Rather, he was eager to be promised by his mother.
“Don’t worry about the grown-up boy. Whatever you do, eat and live. You should never send money and do something like that. Must do!”
But Sang-jun hyung tipped off to me that he had already got a job.
If you tell your parents about the job, your father, who pretends to be cool, will find out secretly, and if the words leak out, he will keep his mouth shut because he is worried that the same thing will happen again.
“Have you got a house? I’m preparing an officetel for you!”
“are you okay. I got a one-bedroom villa near my company’s recording studio. not bad.”
“How is the company? are you okay?”
“It’s a new company, so it’s in jeopardy. But the president of this agency knows music well. That’s why they chose me. I heard that he studied producing and sound engineering in New York, so he really liked it.”
“There is a difference between knowing music well and doing business.”
“The direction is good. Rather than sucking up shiny idols and throwing them away, the goal is to nurture musicians who sell for a long time even if they are not popular. It fits me.”
“okay. My brother must have judged well. What is the name of your company?”
“Time Music. They said that they pursued music that has vitality even as time goes by.”
“okay. Don’t hang up just because you left the house, let’s call often.”
Sang-jun hyung glared at me as if he was full of energy and said.
“You’re doing well, ma’am. How can your brother answer the phone and your secretary answer? Do I have to schedule in advance when I call?”
“Ah sorry… that won’t happen anymore. I was a bit busy then.”
“How are you? I’m going.”
After seeing off my older brother who disappeared far away, I went home and my father asked as if he had been waiting.
“When will you be independent?”
“I will be leaving soon. I’m working on the interior right now. As soon as it ends…”
“Interior decoration? Where did you find the house?”
“I bought a residential complex in Seocho-dong.”
“Are you doing something like a penthouse?”
“How did you know?”
“really?”
My father opened his eyes wide and began to ask in a curious manner.
“It’s not like it’s a super-luxurious penthouse over 100 pyeong, right? There is a home bar in the house, and a Japanese-style mini garden… Something that only appears in dramas?”
This time, on the contrary, I was surprised.
“Did you check my background? How exactly do you know? Oh no bar. But part of the rooftop can be used as a yard, so I’m decorating it as a garden…”
Now my mother joined us. Forgetting the regret of the youngest leaving on his own, he reveals only his curiosity about the house.
“How much is it? 100 pyeong?”
“The house is 120 pyeong and the rooftop garden is 70 pyeong. Originally, there were four rooms, but it took a lot longer than expected because I had to shake them all off and decorate them into studios. There are some materials that haven’t arrived yet.”
“Are you talking about imported materials?”
“yes. I was thinking about living in this house for a long time, so I was a bit concerned. The interior was commissioned from the United States, and the garden is from Japan.”
Father’s expression brightened. He didn’t even ask how much money it cost, and suddenly he clapped his hands.
“Great. Even if you just hear it, it’s a super-luxurious one-room. Right?”
“yes? Ah yes. That’s it.”
“When will the construction be finished? Can I have a look?”
“sure. Even if it’s not, I thought I’d invite my father and mother to show it to them when the construction is finished. But why are you like that?”
You start to get anxious. The reason why the father makes such an expression is not because the son lives in a good house. Clearly, there are other ulterior motives.
“Ah… it’s nothing else, but there was a scene in a house like that when filming a drama. It’s because I filmed a lot of stories about the son of a conglomerate. Let’s borrow more often in the future. It’s not a set, but a real house, so you get a vivid sense of reality and save money to build a set.”
Then it is. Even if it won, it won a long time.
“It’s not possible.”
“what?”
I ignored my father’s gaze and spoke to my mother.
“Only your mother will tell you the password for the door lock, so come alone.”
I want to enjoy the comfort of being alone at the end of a hard day.
