Chapter 202

Instead of Thank You Words

Early morning not even 7 o’clock.

The ponytail who opened the 1st grade 1 class classroom back door and walked jabak jabak stopped at the very back seat by the window.

Rustle.

Opened the carrying backpack and took out a plastic bag.

The moment trying to put the plastic bag on the desk that looks chairman use whoever sees.

“Caught, this guy!”

“Kyaaa!”

Jumped with a whoosh like a startled cat raising fur.

I crossed arms.

“Go Jaeyeong, what doing at my seat?”

“I haven’t done any act yet?”

Go Jaeyeong quickly hid the plastic bag behind.

But what to do this.

Visible all shaking like a dangling tail.

“Then what’s the one hidden behind?”

“······.”

“Pink this time too?”

“Uh, how knew?”

Because pink items placed on the desk every day these days.

“Thanks to you receiving the interest of our class girls in one body.”

Our class girls burst cheers seeing the items Go Jaeyeong placed and left.

-This too pretty!

-This extremely cute!

-Where bought?

-How bought?

Piyaking without rest with sparkling sparkling eyes.

Running every break time and viewing, asking, admiring, not a fuss.

Worn out like immediately running to the department store with mom.

“If meaning making me eat taffy succeeded.”

Why I went to school at this time?

Kids flocking to my seat all day and chattering so noisily.

Every day not one spirit.

Annoying to death.

“Taffy? No. I not trying so······.”

“Then what act trying?”

“I merely······.”

Go Jaeyeong fiddled the plastic bag as if flustered.

Not even pretending not knowing, yet not holding out to me either.

“Because you said don’t pretend to know.”

Go Jaeyeong lowered eyes obediently.

“Because said no thought of entangling with me.”

Lowered the head fully too.

A sullen voice.

“Understood your meaning, accepted, received. So trying not to bother.”

As if largely decided, Go Jaeyeong held out the plastic bag hidden behind the back.

“My necklace, received well the one left at the hospital. So I also left.”

Opened the plastic bag and looked.

A hairpin with a large pink crystal stuck in the middle of a pink satin ribbon.

An item girls would go crazy liking if seeing.

“Didn’t know you dislike so.”

Whether hurt tightly biting lips.

Tears rising teary caught the eye.

“If knew wouldn’t have done so. I did unnecessary act.”

Suddenly realized.

The current Go Jaeyeong mere eight-year-old.

No matter calm unlike peers, sharp, excellent vocabulary a child is a child.

‘Not bad quality prank but favor.’

I exhaled a sigh and took out the pink hairpin.

“Not disliking but a bit troubled.”

“Troubled?”

“I’m a man. How go around with such?”

“······.”

“If you maybe not.”

Attached the pink hairpin to Go Jaeyeong’s head.

Go Jaeyeong raised the head and looked up at me with round eyes.

“Pretty.”

Go Jaeyeong fumbles own head with a blank expression.

As the pink hairpin touches the fingertips, Go Jaeyeong lowered the head fully again.

“So this you go around wearing enough.”

Taking the opportunity opened the desk drawer rattle.

Full of pink items Go Jaeyeong brought every day in the meantime.

Jewel ring, rabbit pattern coin wallet, crystal crown, toy necklace, notebook and memo paper, jewel pencil, school paper, glass box, eraser, melody pencil case.

All items that would have been carefully selected.

“No particular need for me, no interest either so will return all this.”

“That······!”

“Instead will only receive your favor. Then enough?”

“······.”

I swept all the pink items into the large paper envelope prepared in advance.

“Here.”

Go Jaeyeong silently received the paper envelope.

An expression seeming many words to say.

But in the end didn’t say any words.

Instead Go Jaeyeong turned the back.

The back going away somehow looked limp.

“One word of thank you enough.”

This woman past and now uselessly strong pride.

No knack subject.

“Gift, thank you.”

Go Jaeyeong’s feet stopped abruptly.

“Then now no debt between us?”

Go Jaeyeong tightly gripped the paper envelope holding and hesitated for a while.

Quietly left the classroom.

* * *

Go Jaeyeong’s room all pink.

Wallpaper too, bed too, desk too, chair too, bookshelf too, wardrobe too, carpet or blanket, pillow all.

Go Jaeyeong buried deeply in the bed embracing a pink rabbit doll larger than own height.

Knock knock knock.

The person who opened the door with a whoosh and entered the smuggling king.

Put a tray with one cup of milk and one side of toast spread with strawberry jam, apple cut into rabbit shape on the side table next to the bed.

“Why our princess not even eating dinner and like this?”

Go Jaeyeong embraced the rabbit doll even tighter and buried the face.

Even though the smuggling king’s voice quite soft didn’t look back.

The smuggling king quietly stroked the granddaughter’s ponytail with a rough hand.

“Someone bullying at school? Shall grandfather beat thoroughly?”

“······.”

“Hurting somewhere? Shall go to the hospital?”

“······.”

“Heard skipped martial arts class today too. What matter so minding even physical training?”

As no answer returning, the smuggling king’s expression also hardened.

“Serious situation? Mobilize prosecution, police, central intelligence all?”

“······.”

“Shall bribe with money? Give money envelopes a bit generously to teachers?”

“······.”

“Need mouth sealing? Anyway dug a grave site at Namsan. If guy to bury just say anytime.”

“······.”

“Ah, not just shutting mouth like a clam and have to talk to know. Will die bursting inside!”

The smuggling king struck own chest bang bang.

“Last time hospital, wound, torn clothes! So worried can’t go to the US leaving only you!”

“I’m okay, grandfather. No such matter going forward.”

These days kids not coming and picking fights.

After the rumor I was locked in the trash incinerator when the ghost story made circulated treating me as trash golden dragon and not even approaching near me.

Thanks to school life became extremely comfortable.

“Then why so gloomy? What? What matter?”

“Grandfather, what meaning only receiving favor and not receiving gift?”

“Hmm?”

The smuggling king raised one eyebrow.

“Seemed sincerity too little enough to refuse.”

“Ah······.”

“If not until becomes have to feed. No business in quantity offensive.”

“Ah······.”

Go Jaeyeong nodded and stopped abruptly again.

Still buried deeply in the pink rabbit doll and said sullenly.

“But that one said no need for my gift, no interest either.”

“That the problem. Jaeyeong, gift have to give what the other party would like. That’s the basic of lobbying.”

“Ah······!”

“Like gently scratching the itchy place, have to poke the desired plenty to fall over completely.”

“Ah······!”

That precisely the smuggling king’s specialty.

He grilled Busan’s political and business influential figures in exactly this way.

“Said a school only rich house kids attend. Seems a friend with quite picky taste.”

The smuggling king smiled pleased.

A worry a girl who just entered school would do.

All grown.

“What gift our princess gave the friend so said no interest, no need so only receive favor?”

A smile flower full of prank bloomed on the smuggling king’s face.

“There······.”

As Go Jaeyeong’s finger pointing, the smuggling king glanced at the desk top.

Full of pink items looking quite expensive.

“Said do and returned all.”

Ribbon hairpin, jewel ring, rabbit pattern coin wallet, crystal crown, toy necklace, notebook and memo paper, jewel pencil, school paper, glass box, eraser, melody pencil case etc.

A carefully selected gift composition that if girl a hundred out of a hundred would fall for.

The smuggling king asked just in case.

“Boy?”

“Yes.”

“Handsome?”

“Yes.”

The smuggling king tightly gripped a fist.

Veins bulged as if about to burst.

“Repeatedly told handsome guy does face value. How handsome?”

“If handsome face value that one blank check.”

“······!”

Not even knowing the smuggling king’s face crumpling with a crash.

Go Jaeyeong immersed in thought deeply.

“What that one would be interested, likes, wants indeed······.”

Go Jaeyeong stood up with a whoosh.

An eye smile smiling widely enough the tear mole bends.

“Company.”

Came to know placing gifts on the desk every day.

Cha Jeong-hyeok, that kid very interested in company work.

Because the documents looking all only regarding company.

“No way!”

The smuggling king shouted loudly with double pupils lit.

“Company where kids’ toy? One or two pennies item?”

The smuggling king struck the side table bang.

“How the sound of eagerly gifting a company to a guy never heard or seen comes out!”

Natural anger.

No way not grabbing the back of the neck at the sound without sense.

“Until soil enters my eyes no! I absolutely can’t see such appearance!”

“Not a guy never heard or seen.”

“Then who?”

“Cha Jeong-hyeok.”

“······Uh?”

Go Jaeyeong said clearly.

“The one living next door, the one grandfather attached as my guardian, Taeseong Group youngest grandson Cha Jeong-hyeok.”

“······That one that one? That blank check?”

“Yes.”

“Aha.”

The smuggling king’s expression that distorted fiercely like a rakshasa became benevolent like a bodhisattva again.

“If such should have said earlier. This grandfather heart dropped for nothing.”

Hearty laughter bonus.

“Hahahat, our princess indeed resembles me eyes quite high.

That guy handsome really damn handsome.

Ordinary celebrities can’t even present name cards in front of that guy so blank check correct.

‘Men originally if handsome face value, if ugly appearance value, if same value scarlet skirt so indeed face value better than appearance value?’

Go Jaeyeong said gloomily.

“That one found the precious necklace, but I couldn’t even give a proper thank you gift.”

“A guy who won’t even budge at ordinary bribes. Have to eagerly give company level to receive even one glance.”

The smuggling king smiled pleased.

“Good. Let’s feed gift plenty once! Until that guy falls over completely.”

“But earlier until soil enters grandfather’s eyes no way······.”

“Aiku, eyes! This soil, dust? Our princess have to blow.”

“Hu.”

“Hyuu. If not our princess this grandfather’s eyeballs soil stuck tightly?”

“Grandfather too.”

The hand stroking the granddaughter’s ponytail quite soft.

Affection fully contained.

“Then shall look carefully with grandfather what company good to gift?”

“Really?”

“Yes. Anyway looking into where to invest the money organized assets in Busan.”

The smuggling king who was a cash rich increased assets with stock investment instead of private loans.

Major shareholder of Gukcheon Group ranked 7th in the business world a drop in the bucket.

After sweeping a lot evenly if large company stocks that make ah! sound hearing.

“While advancing to Seoul let’s do enjoyable investment shopping with our princess!”

As the smuggling king walked stride stride and opened the door with a whoosh, the fierce-looking men sticking ears to the door collapsed in a rush.

The smuggling king shouted largely.

“If heard immediately go and bring the list of companies to acquire!”

“Yes!”

“Pick places JH would like! Priority fields Taeseong interested!”

“Yes!”

“Find out difficulties through JH employees! Ask from whether company necessarily needed!”

“Yes!”

As guys with quick body movements quickly brought the investment list.

The smuggling king looked back.

“Indeed until now that guy this grandfather the best?”

“Of course!”

Go Jaeyeong smiled widely throwing the pink rabbit doll.

The smuggling king earnestly requested.

“Even giving company can’t give all. Take more than half as your share. Understood?”

“Yes.”

“No matter candy coating absolutely can’t give all completely. That’s your strength. Keep in mind.”

“Yes.”

“Egu, good one.”

Our princess eyes seeing men also high, listens to words well too.

Thinking of marrying off this pretty one that doesn’t hurt even if put in eyes already regrettable to death······.

The smuggling king shook the head.

‘If only can marry off to that guy aigo, ancestors, thank you, have to call hurrah.’

That guy not ordinary even at young age.

Guts and skill needless to say, head rolling or work processing clean perfect.

The smuggling king could be certain because personally saw, experienced, felt.

‘That guy a guy who will make a big name at young age. Will become a big shot who holds and opens Korea in the future.’

The smuggling king firmly believed own eyes.

With these eyes pointed items that would make money and largely stood up with smuggling.

With these eyes found fish species that make money and seized the Korean aquatic product market.

Invested the money earned so in promising companies and increased assets.

‘Investing in talent left the largest profit. In that meaning no larger investment than this in my life again.’

When the smuggling king burning ambition.

“Grandfather, I think this good.”

The company Go Jaeyeong picked ‘Choi High Semiconductor’.
