Major Announcement

A black luxury sedan entered the parking lot of Chairman Cha’s mansion in Pyeongchang-dong.

What got off the car was the first son couple.

The first daughter-in-law grumbled.

“Seems we came first losing face. Should have arrived last.”

“Enough. What’s so important who arrives first.”

The first daughter-in-law glared at the husband sullenly.

“You have no face either?”

“What doing putting on face in front of younger siblings?”

“Because you are like this, I keep getting looked down on by the younger sister-in-law!”

“No, arriving first is also wrong?”

“Aigu, I’m bursting inside!”

The first daughter-in-law hit her own chest with a fist bang bang.

Then another car entered the parking lot.

Tak.

The youngest sibling couple.

Cha Dae-jun saw the younger sibling couple and smiled widely.

Raised a hand above the head and waved left and right largely.

“Yo, Seong-jun, here!”

“Dae-jun older brother, older sister-in-law also came?”

“Aigo, anyway our pretty sister-in-law today even more beautiful······ Kuh!”

The first daughter-in-law poked the husband’s side with the elbow.

“Not taking care of older brother’s face?”

“No, did I say wrong words?”

“Flattery the sister-in-law has to drop, why you rubbing palms like an idiot? Irritated really!”

The first daughter-in-law glanced at the husband, then turned her body abruptly without receiving even the youngest sister-in-law’s greeting.

Closed the parking lot door making a bang sound too.

Like that the first daughter-in-law went in alone first.

Cha Dae-jun scratched the back of the head and smiled.

“Seong-jun, understand. Sister-in-law, that person is not doing so with bad meaning.”

Before the youngest sibling couple answered, Cha Dae-jun laughed hehe and put an arm on the younger sibling’s shoulder.

“Seong-jun, lately subway construction and terminal construction in full swing? No difficulties?”

“Okay.”

“You have a lot of hardship.”

The older brother walked matching steps with the younger brother with arms around shoulders.

The younger brother obediently inclined ears to the older brother’s words but didn’t let go of the hand held with the wife.

Looking at that appearance, Cha Dae-jun smiled gently.

“Heard the express bus traffic volume is so much? People coming and going bursting so construction will be quite tricky. Many difficulties?”

“Because Taeseong Construction people are doing so well, no worry.”

“Yes, try hard. If you, will do well.”

A voice with affection seeping.

“How is older brother lately? Heard busy separately affiliating heavy equipment as ‘Taeseong Heavy Industry’?”

“Eh. Busy though······.”

Cha Dae-jun smiled as if troubled.

“Noise not stopping inside and outside so headache. As expected I’m not businessman constitution.”

“Don’t say such words. Older brother is doing sufficiently well even now.”

“Everything touched all minus. The automobile maintenance service ambitiously tied and sold with U-gwang Oil Refining also largely deficit.”

Cha Dae-jun scratched his cheek with a finger.

“Everyone has a lot of dissatisfaction. Rather said don’t start work.”

“Who said such talk?”

“Said I resemble the younger uncle? Hearing seems right words.”

The younger uncle Cha Dae-jun said was the former Taeseong Construction president Cha Yun-seong.

The former Taeseong Construction president had no eyes, no thoughts, even no insight so only made deficits in every affiliate in charge.

The cleanup all became the older brother’s Chairman Cha’s share.

“Father’s fate also. Following the younger uncle, I became another burden of father.”

“Burden?”

Cha Seong-jun tightly held the older brother’s hand.

“Older brother is the sturdy pillar of our family, and the person who will become the next generation group head.”

“Seong-jun.”

“Father repeatedly said. Doing business, sometimes starting small and growing large, sometimes starting large and rolling small.”

“······.”

“Not long since the oil shock passed. Will gradually get better.”

When the oil shock hit a few years ago, what staggered the most was heavy industry based on oil.

Naturally at the time the blow to Taeseong Automobile and heavy equipment was the largest.

“If merging U-gwang Automobile and heavy equipment this time, won’t breathing room open a bit?”

“Hope so. Thank you for saying so.”

Cha Dae-jun tightly hugged the younger sibling’s shoulder with the arm around and smiled.

“If successfully completing the subway construction and Gangnam Seoul express bus terminal construction, Taeseong Construction will stand tall as this country’s best construction company?”

Cha Dae-jun patted the younger sibling’s shoulder.

“Will be expecting that day. Even you grow quickly and help this older brother a bit.”

“Have to try harder.”

“That’s so, but there is a talk slightly heard at the alcohol gathering yesterday.”

Cha Dae-jun whispered small in the younger sibling’s ear.

“Seong-jun, have you heard of JH Investment Company by any chance?”

“Was there such an investment company?”

Cha Seong-jun tilted his head.

“I went to the Middle East for a few years so don’t know well. Which chaebol group newly established investment company?”

“That still don’t know.”

Cha Dae-jun’s voice became even smaller.

“Lately rumor of going around all thick banks and obtaining investments at a terrifying speed.”

“Hmm.”

“The problem is the humans boasting that terrifying sales power are precisely the former Taeseong Construction executives.”

Cha Seong-jun’s eyebrows slightly rose.

Cha Dae-jun patted the younger sibling’s shoulder small once more.

“Asked thinking if there is a person guessed. Do you have a matter of owing a grudge to someone?”

At the grudge sound, a matter suddenly floated up.

Engagement break.

“Unless grudge, no reason to gather the former Taeseong Construction executives and run wild so noisily though.”

Cha Seong-jun closed his mouth tightly instead of answering.

Didn’t U-gwang’s Chairman Kim openly declare.

-Taeseong, you are about to ruin business thanks to the son.

-You will necessarily regret today’s matter.

Realized strength entering the held hand.

Whether recalled the same, the wife was looking up at him with a sorry face.

So Cha Seong-jun grinned as if nothing particular.

“Just the former Taeseong Construction executives are active, no matter of playing malicious tricks toward Taeseong.”

“So?”

“I will look into separately once.”

Just then there was another luxury sedan leisurely entering the parking lot.

The second couple.

“Everyone not going in and gathered here?”

Cha Gi-jun smiled narrowing eyes.

“What so many words to say? A seat of eating one dinner as family, from afar looks exactly like conspiring.”

The second daughter-in-law discovered the hand the youngest sibling couple tightly holding.

The eyes sank coldly.

“Sister-in-law, said will show Taeseong Chemicals with results? Will expect.”

A sharp voice.

“Taeseong Chemicals Seong-jun husband threw without lingering, curious if can bring back without established merits?”

“So. Indeed curious who father will give Taeseong Chemicals to?”

The second couple looked at each other and grinned.

As Cha Gi-jun opened his arms, the second daughter-in-law linked arms with Cha Gi-jun.

“Older brother, heard pushing an agreement with America’s GM company?”

“Trying.”

“Hmm.”

Currently the world automobile industry number 1 could be said GM company no matter what.

Yet Cha Gi-jun smiled meaningfully.

“Will cheer. Fighting.”

Cha Dae-jun noticed that what Cha Gi-jun’s smile meant was ‘minus’.

Then strength rapidly drained from the arm around the youngest sibling’s shoulder.

The youngest sibling caught the oldest brother’s arm trying to fall with a thud.

“Older brothers, rather than doing this here, let’s go in now.”

Cha Dae-jun blankly looked at the youngest sibling’s hand tightly holding his arm.

The arms around shoulders became a supporting appearance before long but didn’t care.

“This guy. Yes, let’s go. Father will be waiting.”

Cha Dae-jun smiled and put weight on the youngest sibling’s shoulder.

Sturdy.

“Jeong-hyeok seems better staying here.”

The place grandfather brought me was the study.

“Secretary Kim, can look after Jeong-hyeok for a while?”

“Of course.”

Documents were tucked under Secretary Kim’s arm.

A height exactly matching my eye level so could confirm the title.

‘Oh! U-gwang Automobile and U-gwang Shipbuilding!’

Saliva flowed naturally.

Secretary Kim looked at me and winked one eye.

Slightly tapping the documents tucked under the arm was a bonus.

‘As expected Secretary Kim! How knowing I would be curious about this and brought top secret materials?’

The mouth corner hung on the ears naturally.

That was the same for Secretary Kim.

On the other hand only grandfather alone the mouth line drooped as if quite troubled.

“Heard grandmother speaking earlier? Said have to protect innocence.”

Grandfather refined his voice saying ‘The appearance of overturning the table in front of the kid is a bit not so.’

“Jeong-hyeok, promised before? Grandfather will take charge of the work of persuading the family and Taeseong Group executives.”

“Yes.”

“Today thinking of doing a major announcement to the family regarding that.”

Oh?

“The opposition will be quite severe.”

If hearing the announcement of handing over U-gwang’s affiliates that Taeseong Group thought would eat for free to me?

No way the children who drank empty water would quietly watch that appearance.

“This is business. If family matter, still don’t know. Regarding shares and management rights, the children have to watch my eyes.”

Grandfather was confident.

“Jeong-hyeok, in this opportunity will make a suitable pretext to swing the management rights conveniently.”

Pretext?

Grandfather smiles meaningfully.

So I also couldn’t help but laugh uhuhoot.

“Trying to attach my investment company?”

“No, how knew that again?”

“Already a matter agreement finished. Good!”

I nodded and agreed.

“Went well. Thanks to that can even use the work of offering U-gwang affiliate shares to the president’s close aides fruitfully.”

“No, even that?”

“Of course won’t reveal that I am the investment company president?”

“Naturally! Saying again, I don’t want to put an eight-year-old kid forward to the management front line. How fierce the world is, I can’t see that appearance!”

“Let’s do so.”

I grinned.

“Instead Taeseong Chemicals······.”

“Naturally your share.”

“Eh, saying will take Taeseong Chemicals as our mother’s bridal goods.”

“Your mother who has no pocket money never even visited the maternal family once, how acquiring the 15 billion shares suddenly?”

Grandfather clicked his tongue as if unsatisfactory.

“Think Taeseong Chemicals is whose dog’s name? No thought of handing over for free to the daughter-in-law who never even did management once?”

“Grandfather said rewards as much as merits established?”

“That is the merit you established that I clearly know!”

“So.”

“Hmm?”

“A matter only grandfather and President Shim, Secretary Kim know. So even if transforming into our mother’s merit, no one else would know?”

“What?”

I grinned.

“The person who wrote the three-page contract. Please make our mother.”

Just handing over a bit of my merit to mother.

Not anyone else but the work of standing our mother’s face.

Secretary Kim felt regrettable.

“Young Master, won’t regret?”

“What to regret?”

I smiled.

“Taking care of our mother as the son I am.”

Even if I can’t become mother’s background, willing to become the money owner!

Live seeing a bit of son’s virtue!

“Honestly speaking, not even something that can claim my merit in front of people.”

“That······.”

“Because no way would believe as an eight-year-old’s merit.”

Grandfather had a quite troubled expression.

Moved only the lips several times then ended up closing tightly in a straight line.

“Anyway said no thought of putting forward with Taeseong’s name.”

“That’s so though······.”

“But our mother is different.”

“Intending to put your mother forward to the management front line?”

“Other daughters-in-law also took charge of one Taeseong affiliate each. No reason not to.”

“Your mother never even received management class.”

“That can be solved by attaching a professional manager. The important thing is, ‘Our mother brought back Taeseong Chemicals!’”

My goal was simple.

“Please stand the youngest daughter-in-law’s face a bit. Yes?”

“Kkeung.”

“Said having a capable sponsor beside is also ability. Yes?”

“Kkeuuung!”

“If wanting to see the appearance of our mother continuing to be bullied getting nitpicked because of Taeseong Chemicals······.”

“Yes, good! Taeseong Chemicals, will recognize as your mother’s share!”

Grandfather struck the study desk bang bang.

As soon as permission fell, grandfather looked back at Secretary Kim.

“To your mother, do with an anonymous sponsor of Taeseong sending one note!”

“Yes.”

Secretary Kim made the appearance of zipping the mouth.

As expected Secretary Kim!

No need for long words?

“Really easy?”

“······.”

Grandfather grumbled but rummaged the study desk drawer and took out the Taeseong Chemicals acquisition contract.

In the meantime I wrote a note and handed to Secretary Kim.

Tak.

‘Hey, guardian deity.’

[I now weekend drama······.]

‘Grandfather is doing a major announcement gathering the family, and grandmother is determined to overturn the table saying will catch the children and daughters-in-law’s military discipline.’

[I like extreme dramas.]

The underworld messenger who got a taste of Korean dramas flashed both eyes and rubbed palms.

[Where to go?]

‘Well the dining room.’

I also rubbed palms laughing uhuhoot! together.

‘Said would want to die from shame since caught drinking empty water to our mother?’

Who was drinking empty water, let’s try once!
