[021]Secretly, bigger money 1.
Jin Yoon-ki, who was watching a movie with his wife in his favorite room he called a theater, silently tilted his glass.
My only hobbies are theater and film.
For that hobby, he was Jin Yoon-gi, who had a screen and a projector like a movie theater, and even collected movie films whenever he could. It was a room where you could get a glimpse of how much he loves movies.
His wife could tell that the projector was running, but her husband wasn’t paying attention to the film.
“honey. Is it because of Do-jun?”
“huh? Oh well… that’s right.”
Jin Yoon-gi was at a loss for words when his son showed him his bank account and asked him to say whatever he wanted to do. At that moment, he despised himself for being stepped on in the bank account more than his son.
“That’s what an immature kid said with good intentions. Don’t worry too much about it.”
“honey.”
“yes.”
“I am not angry. It was embarrassing.”
Jin Yoongi smiled softly and wrapped his arms around his wife.
“When Dojunie said that, my heart raced when he told me to do whatever I wanted with over 10 billion won. This is your chance! I even heard this.”
Jin Yoon-gi shrugged as if the memory of that moment had come back.
“How pitiful I was… To become a father and drool into a child’s piggy bank.”
“It is because it is too much money. I did too. I thought that with that money, you and Sang-jun could go to a foreign country together and live there.”
Even his wife’s consolation could not revive his crumpled pride, shame, and sense of shame as a father.
“By the way, honey. I’m curious too… What are you really doing? if you have enough money Do you still want to be a film director?”
Jin Yoon-gi didn’t like talking about his abandoned dream, but he couldn’t ignore his wife’s efforts to change the topic.
“no. I know I have no directing sense. If I were to shoot a movie, would it be really flat?”
“Then have you completely abandoned your attachment to movies?”
“There is still a lot left. If I could, I would like to do production and planning work. In particular, the novel I am reading right now touches me so much. I want to make it into a movie.”
As we started talking about the movie, Jin Yoon-gi’s eyes lit up. These are the eyes of a boy chasing his dreams.
“Film is no different from manufacturing. If it’s successful enough to cover production costs, you can make the next one. However, if production costs are reduced, the burden of box office performance will also be reduced.”
“How do you reduce production costs?”
“Currently, Korean films are produced in a fist-pumping way. There are a lot of bubbles and there are a lot of people who steal money in the middle. At least 30% can be reduced. You know.”
Jin Yoon-gi made eye contact with his wife, who was once a movie star.
“I only took one shot. I didn’t have time to know that.”
“If it weren’t for me, you would have become a star… isn’t it unfair?”
“what? You were the one who told me to give up because my acting skills were the soles of my feet, so I couldn’t stand it anyway.”
Jin Yoon-gi looked lovingly at his wife who was pinching her arm.
“It’s true. haha. You were more suited to be a model than an actor.”
Thanks to my wife, I was able to forget the embarrassing moment. Jin Yoon-gi put his hand on his wife’s shoulders.

“How much?”
“Only the land compensation is 14 billion won. Also, there are 20,000 pyeong left that can be used for commercial purposes… This will easily exceed 10 billion won.”
Jin Yeong-ki, the vice chairman of the Sunyang Group and the eldest son of Chairman Jin Yang-cheol, rubbed his forehead with the cadastral map of the new Bundang city in front of him.
“14 billion in that little boy’s hands? Bank interest alone is over 1 billion. Better than some big companies? I can buy 20 apartments in Gangnam every year with interest alone!”
When his son, Jin Young-jun, made an envious expression, Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki screamed.
“You bastard! Do you think bank interest envy? Is it time to think about that penny?”
Hearing his father’s loud voice, Jin Yeongjun turned his head.
“Does this guy who is in his 4th year of college still look like that? Won’t you come to your senses?”
“honey! Why are you doing this to your child? I’m dying because I can’t go to study abroad!”
Sensing signs of a fight between the vice president and the couple, the secretary reminded him with a low clearing of his throat that he was still in the living room.
“Chief Kim.”
“yes.”
“Keep looking at Yoongi’s house. If anything special happens, report it immediately.”
“All right. Vice President.”
“Go see.”
As Manager Kim quietly stepped back and left the living room, Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki started glaring at the eldest son again.
“Are you going to keep revealing women like that?”
At the word woman, Jin Young-joon couldn’t raise his head.
“You bastard! Are celebrities the only girls to hang out with? Where is one or two pretty girls in the world? Do you only touch women on TV? Would it be in the newspapers like that?”
Jin Young-gi was on the verge of dying.
I mobilized all my money and personal connections to get a letter of admission to a prestigious American university, but an immature son of a bitch impregnated the best actress of the time. Even a woman 7 years old.
The money spent on removing the actress’ child and covering her mouth is more than the value of a building.
Again, money and personal connections were used to close the press, but the eyes and ears of the father, the chairman, could not be blocked.
– You’re not a horny bastard, and you make her pregnant? Does that guy go to America to study? Fuck it! He’s the one who will sow seeds equally between whites and blacks. Should I see my mixed-race child as my great-grandson?
The way to study abroad is blocked, and two employees of the group’s audit office closely monitor his son 24 hours a day. It upset me to see such a guy envy his cousin who was ten years younger than him.
“Listen. Your grandfather is not the kind of person who just gives you ten won. Maybe we can build a ranch for the little guy. However, handing over the name and giving all the proceeds of disposing of it is a completely different matter.”
“Stop it. With everything in the past…….”
Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki turned a blind eye to his wife, who was constantly annoyed.
His wife, Park Hye-young, is also a woman who has grown up with no shortage. Although she is far below the Sunyang group, her parents are from a chaebol family whose name everyone knows.
As a result, I always felt dissatisfied with my husband who was struggling with his father-in-law.
“How old is Dojunie now? I gave 14 billion to such a child. This is not a simple gift. Do you think that a 12-year-old kid is worth 14 billion? If you dispose of the remaining land and give it to Do-Jun, it will be worth more than 20 billion won!”
Jin Yeongjun did not think deeply about what his father meant. Isn’t that the eldest son anyway? He believed that when his grandfather passed away, everything would be his father’s and eventually he would inherit everything.
“Has your grandfather ever given you a bank account for a pyeong of land? That’s what Grandpa thinks you’re worth.”
“honey. What are you worried about? You are already vice president. Sunyang is yours. And…”
Park Hye-young raised her lips and said.
“How many more years will my father-in-law live… Time is on our side.”
Jin Young-gi did not think that he was worrying for nothing. I don’t know my wife, my children, or the person named Jin Yang-cheol.
I have never worried about my succession until now. The youngest nephew is now receiving attention from the chairman, but he is not too worried. Because you are too young. But don’t let your guard down.
No matter how much blood they share, they have no intention of sharing even a single brick of the Sunyang Group.

I sat quietly next to my father, who was reading the newspaper in the living room.
“father. sorry.”
“It’s okay, Dojoon. What are you sorry about? Dad wasn’t angry. I’m just a little surprised.”
My father grabbed my hand and pulled me into his arms.
“Our Dojun is growing up too fast. What will Dad do when he’s already grown up like this?”
this!
I have nothing to say when you suddenly come in like this.
I’ve never raised a child, so I can’t even guess what a father’s heart is like. All I could do was hold my father’s hand firmly.
My father smiled softly, perhaps feeling the strength of my hand.
“Yes, Do-joon. If you have anything to say to Dad, do it.”
“My mother once said this to my grandfather. I want you to do what I want to do.”
“Mom?”
“yes.”
He looks surprised to hear that his quiet mother said such a thing to his frightened father-in-law.
“So I was curious. What kind of work does your father want to do… I heard he likes movies.”
“How is your mother?”
“yes.”
My father, who showed a bit of a bitter smile, sat me down in front of you as if he had made up his mind.
“Dad went to England to study in his third year of college.”
Aww!
I think I’m going to say it properly this time. It would be a very long story, long enough for an adult to recall.
“I did what my father told me to do. When I was young, they told me to study well, so I tried to get good grades, and they told me to study abroad, so I went to England. There was nothing in particular I wanted to do. And I took it for granted that I was studying business administration. I thought I would be in charge of some of the affiliates of the Sunyang Group.”
It is said that he was a young boy who adapts well to the given environment without any doubt, but since when did he get on a crooked line?
“In London, England, there is an area called the West End. There, hundreds of theaters stage musicals and plays every day. I stop by sometimes to cool my head while studying.”
Searching for memories of the innocent days, the father’s eyes twinkled before he knew it.
“I saw Shakespeare there and I knew Sinclair Hayward Anderson. And works such as John Osborne’s ‘Look Back in Anger’, Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’, and Williams’ ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ shook me.” I suddenly felt fortunate
. I was not seduced by the glamor of the entertainment world, but by pure art.
If the motive is pure and right, isn’t it worth doing it again?
“From then on, school took a back seat and I fell in love with theater and film. I enrolled in theater school and started learning directing. With movies, of course. But your grandfather knew and I was taken to Korea. haha.”
Are father’s dreams just memories now?
It rekindles memories and makes dreams come true. And I need help to make my dream come true. The hint of help was just given by my father.
