The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family Chapter 42

[042] First of all, warming up 1.

On December 7, I woke up exceptionally early.

Grandpa had already given me the score, but the tension remained.

When I went out to pick up the morning newspaper, the front door was noisy. It’s a quiet residential area, so it’s the first time I’ve ever had a commotion like this. When I opened the door, wondering what was going on, the camera flash went off and Mike covered his face.

“Jin Do-jun?”

“Student Jin Do-jun? Right?”

It was December, so it was dark at 6 in the morning, and the flashlights were going off, so I couldn’t see anything. hastily closed the door.

What happened?

My father in his pajamas came down to the garden and yawned and patted me on the back.

“I’m here to interview you.”

“No, if it’s the CSAT, you have to cover the national top. Why me…?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know? The high score of the ordinary chief and the grandson of the cruiser group. Besides, her father is the president of a movie production company, and her mother is a former actress who has not yet lost her beauty. Which one will be more talked about?”

Father smiled and pointed to the gate.

“Your grandfather just called. Put your grandfather in the mood. You want to brag.”

Alas, our old man. Is the desire to boast about your grandson the same whether you have a lot of money or a little money?

“Simple interview. Don’t forget to say that it’s all thanks to my wonderful parents when interviewing.”

“father. I don’t remember if you helped me in my studies.”

“Because of the excessive expectations of my children, I never stressed or nagged them. Proper neglect is the greatest virtue of being a parent. don’t forget Hehe.”

After making several successful films and becoming the president of a production company that cannot be ignored in Chungmuro, I was able to see my father’s hidden true face.

He is smart and always has a relaxed smile. The sense of humor that is revealed sparsely is also outstanding. There was also a Western mindset that treated the son as a human being rather than a child.

The study had already been cleaned, and Mother even prepared tea and refreshments for the reporters.

“Do-joon. change into school uniform That will suit you.”

I couldn’t hide my desire to be proud of my mother.

When I finished preparing for the interview, my mother brought reporters in.

The TV reporter even came with the cameraman, but his father, who knows the power of video, began to coordinate.

“Let’s turn off the camera. Is the data screen not enough with pictures? You’re going to go under 30 seconds anyway?”

“I still have to cut one or two cuts…”

“The words disappear, but the video remains forever. I don’t want to do anything to hold my child back.”

“Do you say there is something to catch your ankle, President Jin?”

The TV news reporter laughed, but my father shook his head.

“Just do as I say. Turn off the camera.”

The camera was turned off and the interview began.

From the very beginning, direct questions poured in.

“Will student Do-joon say, ‘I studied mainly from textbooks’?”

“It can’t be. Did the grandson of the richest man in Korea only dig textbooks?”

Some reporters’ mouths were torn at the rather defiant answer. Even reporters are tired of interviews that sound like model student answers.

“then…?”

“Tweezers teachers by subject… I did one-on-one tutoring throughout the year. Even with the money spent, reporters would have lost 10 years of their salary?”

“…….”

Is it too explicit? When the reporters couldn’t answer their questions, the father who was watching couldn’t hold back his laughter and giggled.

“Where are you planning to apply?”

I feel like a novice reporter when I see him stepping on normal questions again.

“I will apply for law school.”

“Oh, is the judge’s goal?”

“yes.”

At this time, a reporter again asked a provocative question.

“Is the reason you are applying for law school because you were excluded from the succession plan of Sunyang Group?”

The reporter looked at my expression for a moment and then continued to ask questions.

“Did you think there was no possibility because you have great fathers, many cousins… and the youngest of the Sunyang family?”

I was taken aback at first, but it turned out better. All you have to do is answer the people who will be watching this interview want to hear.

“I never thought of that… well, my parents are free people. You are doing something completely unrelated to the Sunyang Group. Maybe that’s why I never had the Sunyang Group in mind.”

“If you became a lawyer, have you ever thought about whether you would walk a path unrelated to the Sunyang Group or support the Sunyang Group from the side?”

No more. Up to this point is just right. The more words there are, the more different interpretations become. quickly changed the subject.

“I never even thought about it. By the way, who is the head of the CSAT?”

“Ah, I’m a student in Jeju Island…”

“Is this a science? Are you in liberal arts?”

“Iguayo.”

“If that student, like me, does not use tweezers and does not use private tutoring, he must be a real genius or an ignorant hard worker. Oh maybe both?”

“Student Jin Do-jun. Are there any plans to study abroad…”

I wanted to end it at this point. After all, the articles they have to write are decided.

“Here are the reporters. Go to Jeju Island for coverage and write my articles roughly to suit your grandfather’s taste. Looking at it, do you get an estimate? Didn’t the desk send you to bring me an advertisement?”

The reporters were at a loss for words.

“If you read an article that said my grandfather studied mostly textbooks and got help from reference books, he would be very happy.”

The father, who had been watching with giggles, stepped out.

“Come on, let’s finish it. Oh, did you take enough pictures? My son’s photo… It’s the first time I’ve been on a newspaper or broadcast, so please take the best one. then.”

While my father was cleaning up the reporters, I came upstairs to my room and started getting ready for school. Just then, the cell phone rang. it’s grandpa

“Your grandfather.”

– Do Joon-ah. Did the interview go well?

“I just finished.”

– Then come to Grandpa’s house.

“yes. After school…”

– No. Have breakfast and come right away. I left my phone at school. can’t go

Surely you’re not trying to show off me by gathering people?

If that’s the case, I’m afraid I’ll be horribly embarrassed.

* * *

“Oh my son! Let’s hug.”

I saw only my grandfather with his arms wide open. There was nothing to worry about.

“Good job. And great.”

Grandpa patted me on the back and dragged me to the study.

My grandfather, whose smile did not disappear, told me what was so urgent.

“So where do you want to go to school? USA? europe?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet. Can’t you take it slow and find out?”

Are you sure you want to send them abroad as soon as they graduate? That should never happen. If the future unfolds like the previous life, the grandfather will die within a few years.

There are so many things to do before then!

I have no thoughts of going abroad.

“Yes, it must have been hard because of studying, but it’s not bad to go to college for a year or so and take a break and enjoy it.”

Seeing my grandfather’s expression put my heart at ease. It didn’t seem like he was in any hurry. And that’s not all. He glances at me and opens his mouth with difficulty.

“Your dream is still there, right? Hasn’t that changed?”

I’m glad you asked the right questions at the right time. Rather, it is the moment I want to confirm.

“Um, I don’t know. I want to run a business like my grandfather, and I want to make a movie like my father… I don’t think being a judge or prosecutor is bad… I go back and forth.”

My heart was relieved when I saw the expression of my grandfather who suddenly hardened. There was a willingness to involve me in management.

“Do-joon.”

“yes.”

“It means a man. There is nothing more important than making a living. movie? Does anyone think of it as a way to earn a living? I do it all because I like it. Some people are lucky enough to get rich with it. But the bottom line is that you want to do it.”

It’s a little funny because you say it much more seriously than you think.

“Even if you don’t want to do it and it’s hard, a man has to earn money. That’s all.”

“…yes.”

“This is what Habibi said. I hope you work in Sunyang, where this old woman works. I want to close my eyes to see them grow bigger and make more, becoming the Sunyang Group hundreds of times larger than it is now.”

This is too blatant. It would be a big deal if I told others about my inner feelings, especially my uncle.

“grandfather.”

“OK.”

“Do you know who the youngest son of Yi Seong-gye, the founder of Joseon, was?”

Grandpa blinked his eyes at the absurd question.

“I am Lee Bang-seok, the second son of Yi Seong-gye’s queen consort, Queen Sindeok’s Kang clan.”

“What do you mean? Why are you bringing up history all of a sudden? Don’t you know that grandfather didn’t go to school? Uh-huh.”

“Lee Seong-gye gave birth to six sons by the queen of Shinui, Han. But, ignoring all of his grown-up sons who fought together on the battlefield and made achievements, he installed Bang-seok Lee, who was only 11 years old, as the crown prince.”

Grandpa’s laugh stopped and the way he looked at me changed.

“That bastard, Bang-seok Lee, was killed by the sword of his half-brother, Taejong Lee Bang-won. Am I right for the prince?”

“That’s right.”

I thought I might have said something useless, but I couldn’t help it. Time is running out. If my grandfather’s excessive affection or my impatience were revealed, it could ruin the work.

And I still remember Jin Do-jun died before turning twenty.

Grandpa’s sharp eyes, which had been staring at me as if stabbing, changed to gentle again.

“Every Friday, key members of the group gather in this library. It’s the place to have the deepest conversations about the group’s current issues and to make difficult decisions.”

“yes. I am well aware of it.”

“From now on, let’s have breakfast every Saturday with this grandfather.”

It means that every Saturday, the important decisions of the group are informed to me. You don’t have to say it’s all good.

Check recheck double check.

Isn’t that the basis of everything? I need to know a little more about my grandfather’s true intentions.

“grandfather. I’m still young. Even if my grandfather taught me how to work at the company, they wouldn’t understand.”

“Humble words don’t suit a greedy guy. I’m not trying to teach you anything. I’ve already checked your ssaksu, so I just want to make sure it’s a vessel worthy of my great greed. haha.”

It was not unusual to hear the laughter of the grandfather or the chairman.

It means that affection for a wonderful grandson and inheriting a huge legacy are two different things.

From now on, every Saturday, I thought I would see President Jin, not my grandfather.

“Look at this and turn in your answer sheet on Saturday. Let’s see if you do as well as your SAT scores.”

He tossed a rather thick wad of papers at me.

“I wanted to let him rest for a year or so… Our Dojun still has to study. haha.”

Grandpa stood up with a good laugh.

“Let’s go out. I have something to show you.”

When I went to the garage next to the annex outside the main building, I saw about a dozen imported cars. How old are you and how much do you like cars……. For an old man’s hobby, it costs a lot of money.

“There is a car I haven’t seen before. Did you buy it again?”

“How many cars have I not seen?”

“Three generations. grandfather. Stop driving sports cars. It’s dangerous.”

Grandpa took three car keys from his coat pocket.

“It is a gift from me. Thanks to you, ten years of congestion went down. And at the New Year’s Federation of Korean Industries meeting, when I think of shouting in front of the other presidents, I automatically laugh. You should receive a present like this.”

If I was a child, I would have jumped with joy… I was calm when I saw German or Italian sports cars.

But I can’t remain expressionless. I didn’t get the car keys.

“I will receive the gift for my grandfather after I finish my homework. Please give me one for every perfect score on your homework.”

Grandpa’s hand holding the key stopped, and then a big smile spread across his face.
