The Soil Knows the Answer

After clearly witnessing with both eyes the appearance of the former Taeseong Construction executives being thoroughly beaten, the homeroom teacher behaved very politely.

I put both hands together and did a navel bow.

“Hello. Cha Jeong-hyeok scheduled to be assigned to the teacher’s class this year.”

“Eup eup eup?”

The sound he could make was just this much.

Because still tied with rope and gagged in the mouth.

For smooth conversation with no room for shabby excuses to intervene, decided to moderately pass over trivial problems.

“Heard a lot.”

The notoriety is very widespread?

Called the worst rotten water of U-gwang private school?

‘This person is precisely U-gwang’s tyrant who discriminates according to family, picks up the cane of love at the slightest, and if something wrong, fires verbal violence first.’

Heard the attitude changes like flipping the palm according to the amount poked into the pocket.

Was my sincerity that insufficient?

“Really regret that personal interview is progressing in this way.”

It was sincere.

I haven’t even entered school yet, why meeting the homeroom teacher like this at Cheonggye Mountain this night,

“Said very angry because sincerity is little?”

I looked back at Yu Jong-tae.

“How much put in the envelope?”

“Three million won.”

“Looking now, a person with a large vessel.”

At this time, a minister’s salary was 250,000 won, and the prime minister’s salary was 350,000 won.

So couldn’t help but snort.

“How much more demanded?”

“Three big ones. Thirty million won.”

“The price of two Gangnam apartments.”

Riding the Gangnam development boom, lately Apgujeong Hyunmu apartment small is 1,200, Daechi-dong Cheonma apartment is 1,300 said.

No, is this money to tear from an elementary school student just entering?

Even though I’m a chaebol house grandson, seeing people as fools!

So became curious.

“Bribe and request are a set. If received firmly behind, there would be something to spit out forward?”

So investigated!

I turned the documents Yu Jong-tae prepared.

“Heard the second eldest uncle inserted the teacher as my homeroom?”

“Eup?”

“Speaking of Taeseong Distribution President Cha Gi-jun.”

“Eup!”

Can tell just looking at the eyes rolling.

The plot blooming in the coming and going bribes!

When I was largely carried on the newspaper front page last time, what did the second eldest uncle add saying congratulation?

-Congratulations. Anyway our nephew’s entrance gift have to take care personally? Can expect well.

Indeed curious what my entrance gift is.

I pulled out the document with the homeroom teacher’s name written and pushed in front of his eyes.

The shames of him of course wives and children were recorded in a row.

“Shall I bury family together amicably?”

Shake shake shake shake!

The half-standing posture trying to flee right away changed to a rigid attention posture with military discipline tight.

“Said report my every move?”

The homeroom teacher nodded madly like a broken car doll.

“Or requested to properly break the nephew’s spirit?”

Nod nod nod nod!

“No instruction to nitpick and torment to the fullest?”

Shake shake shake shake!

Seems roughly found out what wanted to know with this much.

Seems showed the warning certainly with this much.

“Won’t say long. Can behave well watching eyes?”

The homeroom teacher actively appealed with the whole body the intention of believing only himself.

The sound that my school life from now on will become comfortable.

“Becoming able to spend 6 years together with a person who seems to communicate well. Really happy, teacher.”

“U eup?”

“Eh, trying to eat two Gangnam apartments and say goodbye in 1 year? Coming out like this is troublesome, teacher.”

Without realizing, eyes flashed.

“Keu eup!”

“Ah, saying will follow my meaning without asking or questioning?”

Nod nod nod nod!

Since a scheduled answer, no particular impression.

I poked the thick sincerity brought in a white envelope deeply into the homeroom teacher’s jacket pocket.

“Then please take care well from now on.”

I put both hands together and did a navel bow.

Then turned without lingering.

Taeseong Group headquarters chairman’s office.

From the turned-on cathode ray tube television, morning news flowed.

-The union protest that started with the U-gwang Chemicals fire is intensifying day after day. 175 union members occupied the headquarters office and demanded proper compensation and accident countermeasures.

-U-gwang Group did not accept this, and eventually the protesters and police collided greatly in front of the headquarters.

-The police demanded voluntary dissolution giving 5 minutes of time, but the union members forced a nude protest and opposed fiercely.

-In the dissolution process, about 70 were arrested, among them 50 fainted, 14 were transferred to the hospital.

-The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions announced a statement saying ‘a very regrettable matter’ regarding this and ‘the government stop labor suppression!’

Chairman Cha turned off the television.

On the morning newspaper front page, dealt with the U-gwang affiliate stock price plunge with the largest letters.

On the next page regarding the arrest of U-gwang Construction President Kim U-seok, on the side page the moves of Chairman Kim U-gwang who resigned from the head position continued.

“The hyena pack is running wild smelling money. Everyone became bloodshot saying will tear U-gwang.”

Public sentiment turned its back, the media is concentrating fire day after day, the government closed eyes pretending not to know.

U-gwang Group lately became literally the fate of a lamp in front of the wind.

Sinking enough that the long-effort lobbying became colorless.

“If unlucky, our Taeseong almost became exactly that appearance. Looking again, the words that luck was good.”

Ring ring!

“Hello?”

Chairman Cha received the phone carelessly then stood up like a spring.

The call counterpart was the Blue House security chief who boasts the next most powerful power after the president.

-The Blue House luncheon gathering is the day after tomorrow?

“Yes, so.”

-His Excellency’s expectation is very large. Have to prepare thoroughly and come.

“Will do best.”

-That what, the thing mentioned at the alcohol gathering then, what was it?

“Speaking of the possibility of a second oil shock?”

-Yes, that! Remember why His Excellency permitted two invitation letters to Taeseong.

The Blue House security chief’s voice lowered.

-If wanting to eat a large affiliate with merit rewards, the order is putting out the answer His Excellency wants first.

Then the subtle meaning of handing over U-gwang’s affiliates as promised.

-There would be an affiliate eyed. Tell.

Chairman Cha couldn’t answer readily.

As the tense breath sound flowed riding the phone, from the opposite side came back as a satisfied laughter.

-Hahaha, why so tense to that extent again? A matter that I and the secretary chief promised to lend one arm.

“Thank you.”

-Don’t worry and pick comfortably. A rare opportunity so catch well with skill. Hahaha.

An appearance of being very satisfied that didn’t fall for the slightly probed words.

After hanging up the phone, a sigh came out naturally.

“Looking at confidently affirming like that, seems the Blue House already finished the decision.”

Chairman Cha sat on the chair and dry washed his face.

“Regarding U-gwang, the security chief and secretary chief, army security commander and central intelligence director forces split and a bloody battle will unfold. This suddenly Taeseong stuck in the middle and got hit.”

Could vividly see what mess would unfold at the Blue House luncheon gathering.

Chairman Cha pressed the throbbing temples.

Eyes keep going to the documents piled thickly.

All reports regarding U-gwang affiliate acquisition.

“Decided to hand over U-gwang Securities and U-gwang Chemicals as Jeong-hyeok’s share. Probably U-gwang Construction will also soon be processed as bankruptcy······.”

“Chairman.”

Secretary Kim who was standing quietly opened his mouth.

“Anyway Young Master Jeong-hyeok contacted regarding that matter.”

“Jeong-hyeok?”

Secretary Kim silently pushed a note with the number ‘1’ written on the cover.

As soon as Chairman Cha read, crumpled the note with a whoosh at once.

“Guarantee even the management rights of course the shares of the promised affiliates? Nonsense sound!”

“Chairman.”

“Jeong-hyeok is just eight years old now!”

Chairman Cha waved his hand.

“Dying from the mind being noisy anyway, no need for you to add nonsense words too.”

“The words raising because judged a matter worth considering sufficiently.”

“How putting an eight-year-old kid forward to the management front line! What’s so urgent?”

Chairman Cha said cutting sharply.

“Even ten years is early! No, have to pass fifteen years to even attach a probationary employee sticker! In the meantime, tell to quietly receive management class under President Shim!”

“Anyway President Shim said to raise this.”

Secretary Kim held out a one-page document.

A report with just a few lines written, but Chairman Cha’s pupils reading it down shook greatly.

“Even President Shim raising dog sound of entrusting management rights to Jeong-hyeok and seeing?”

Hard to believe.

The one who shook his head first saying Jeong-hyeok is just eight years old was precisely President Shim.

Such a person how many days since taking charge of Jeong-hyeok’s management class and changing words like flipping the palm?

A matter to be fed up.

“Saying will manage detouring the investment company Jeong-hyeok established?”

“Yes.”

“Impossible matter alone President Shim! How intending to preserve 30 billion U-gwang Chemicals and 12 billion U-gwang Securities? Unless determined to die from overwork······.”

“Heard newly recruited twenty-eight executive staff.”

Chairman Cha snorted.

“Think all executives if hanging executive name tags? Have to have that much ability to be executives!”

“Heard the former Taeseong Construction executives who were dismissed entered under Young Master Jeong-hyeok.”

“What?”

Secretary Kim smiled gently.

“A total of twenty-eight people who voluntarily swore loyalty to Young Master Jeong-hyeok.”

What Secretary Kim put on the desk was copies of the employment contracts.

The speed Chairman Cha turned the employment contracts gradually became faster.

“Really the Taeseong Construction executives······.”

“Yes.”

“Guys too burdensome even for Seong-jun to handle so cleanly purged with my hands. Picking up and using such guys? No, why?”

“Still guys with ability.”

“No, these guys ate rat poison in a group. Greedy and gutsy guys signing slave contracts receiving just deputy level salary?”

Chairman Cha pressed the throbbing temples tightly.

“Even seeing, hard to believe.”

“The meaning that Young Master Jeong-hyeok’s skill is that good.”

“Guys who rolled for life in rough construction sites. Think would fall for clumsy threats or bribes or something?”

Chairman Cha struck the desk with a bang.

“Forgot even Yun-seong couldn’t do anything and was played? Guys who money laundered hanging with shrewd snake-like politicians every day what? Submitting to Jeong-hyeok and crawling under that?”

No matter how thinking, a matter that doesn’t make sense.

“Impossible! This is a difficult matter even if President Shim steps forward!”

“Yes, because President Shim is good at management but handling rough guys is completely weak. So seems Young Master Jeong-hyeok stepped forward directly.”

“Saying Jeong-hyeok is just eight years old!”

“Heard this is that evidence.”

Clatter.

As Secretary Kim took out a handkerchief, two gold teeth rolled and fell.

“Heard finished the situation cleanup pulling two gold teeth.”

“Those guys are guys who even fought face to face with gangsters and forced demolition. Think would tuck tails with just two gold teeth?”

“Ah, according to Team Leader Yu’s report, tied and poured a bit of soil sand too. But that is really all.”

“Ha······!”

Chairman Cha twitched with mouth open.

Had many words wanted to say, but hated repeating the same sound.

“Really Jeong-hyeok baked with a few words?”

“A matter already proved with results.”

Looking at the list Secretary Kim handed, Chairman Cha’s mouth was blocked tightly.

“Heard meeting of course market bank presidents all kinds of company executives and doing alcohol entertainment and obtaining investments.”

In just a few days, obtaining work with a terrifying momentum.

“How? With this much, seems can hand over the management rights to Young Master Jeong-hyeok.”

“······The young thing’s skill is quite good the words.”

Chairman Cha unfolded the ‘1’ number note crumpled miserably again.

The neat handwriting of the young grandson pricked the eyes.

Grandfather, please guarantee even the management rights of course the shares of the affiliates.

Secretary Kim slightly added.

“Chairman, please read the back side too.”

“Back side?”

If only promising that, will inform the method that can pull the central intelligence director and army security commander to our side.

Chairman Cha couldn’t endure and stood up with a whoosh.
