“I have to give it to you too. Ha-yeon, make a lot of friends this year and be healthy.”
Ha-yeon accepted the gift money her parents gave her. The child’s face flashed with joy.
“thank you.”
Even the belly button was perfect.
‘Will pocket money be that good?’
Seeing them happy made my heart melt.
“Hayeon. Did you get the New Year’s Eve money?”
“Yeah! I want to triple my father.”
“Dad, do three times first.”
“Does your dad get a gift money too?”
“No. My dad is an adult, so he doesn’t take money.”
Ija Ha-yeon entered the seat she had left and gave three bows to her parents.
“Father. Mother. Happy New Year.”
“Yes. Happy New Year to our Jaegu too.”
“Son. Stay healthy this year. Are you going to get married this year?”
A must-have for New Year’s Day. It was a marriage.
But it didn’t feel bad at all.
‘Can I marry Elisa this year?’
It seems a bit fast, but since we’re both older, I thought it might be possible if we do well.
“I’ll try. Not much here.”
I gave the pocket money envelope to my parents. Now that I have a lot of money, I was proud to be able to store more than usual.
My parents accepted the thin envelopes one at a time.
“Thank you, son. I’ll write well.”
“Jaguya. Thank you.”
‘I wish I could have opened it.’
I printed it with a large denomination check, but it was a pity that I didn’t get a response. However, unlike other countries, in Korea, it is considered polite to open gifts from behind.
“Then, should Ha-yeon salute her father?”
“yes!”
Ha-yeon smiled brightly and ran towards me, stepping on the tip of her hanbok and stumbling. He grabbed the child and raised him up.
“Dad, don’t run away. You can come slowly.”
“yes!”
Hayeon smiled and clung to me.
I brought the child into the living room, sat on the sofa, and received the triple. It was cute to see him contemplating his left and right hands as he wriggled his small hands, the size of two fingers.
He whispered softly to Hayeon.
“Right hand up.”
“ah!”
The child raised his right hand up and took a posture.
“happy new year.”
He immediately bowed down and bowed. It was really cute to look like I was going to be buried in the hanbok.
“Yes. Hayeonie. I have to go to school, make a lot of friends, and stay healthy this year.”
“yes.”
I gave Ha-yeon an envelope containing pocket money. After receiving the envelope, the child jumped up and down excitedly.
“Is that good?”
“Yes! No. Yes!”
“Eat something delicious with friends.”
“yes!”
It seems like yesterday when he was wriggling in my arms, but the time has passed for the child to enter elementary school before he knew it.
Suddenly, I wondered if my parents would have thought that way when they saw me.
The two of them were smiling happily at us.
‘ah. It’s really peaceful.’
“Uncle Kangjae! Take three times as much.”
“Huh? Yes.”
Our Hayeon is so wild.

It was my turn, but I couldn’t help but go to see my grandfather who had given me a great blessing. After Ha-yeon went around the house and bowed to the staff, my family headed to my grandfather’s grave.
I talked to Benjamin Chung and told him to take care of the money paid by the employees separately.
‘Because if you don’t take care of me, you’re a bad boss.’
I didn’t want to become a boss who had money to spare but put my child first to rip off employees.
In the past, we shared the car, but today we rented a limousine to move together as a family.
‘First of all, I’m going to take turns riding it, and I’ll pick out the one I like and buy it.’
I could have bought it right away, but I decided to take turns riding several models to feel the ride and comfort.
Thanks to the maintenance of the road while creating a pear orchard, it was possible to move comfortably up to the mountain.
“Everyone please wait here.”
I didn’t need too many people to go to my grandfather’s oxygen. I climbed the mountain with only Jeffrey and Seo Kang-jae accompanying me.
Thanks to the maintenance of the mountain road, Ha-yeon was able to climb without difficulty.
“Dad. Come quickly.”
no. The child seemed to have more stamina.
“Oh, it’s hard. Let’s take a break and go.”
“Jaegu. Let’s rest for a bit.”
The two of them now seemed to have a hard time climbing up to the oxygen at once. Ha-yeon left it to Seo Kang-jae and sat down on the mountainside for a while and chatted with the two.
“The roads here are really good. Are there even plans for urban development?”
“Yes. In the past, it was difficult to climb because there were a lot of stones, but I made all the stairs.”
I thought about whether I should say that I did it, but I just laughed because I thought I would hear a word saying that I did it without discussing it.
The two of them shared a water bottle and drank it.
It was nice to see it because it looked friendly.
“Looks like I’m going to live now. Let’s go.”
“Yes. Let’s go. Let’s go.”
The well-arranged grandfather’s oxygen was located where he arrived after climbing the mountain hard. My father smiled and looked back at me.
“You did it?”
“yes.”
I asked a specialist for other places, but while I was staying in Korea, it was my job to manage my grandfather’s oxygen. It was because I thought it was polite to see you often when you brought me such a great blessing.
“Didn’t you ask me to come with you?”
“are you okay.”
“I have to exercise sometimes too.”
“Being is labor, is it exercise?”
When the mother said something to the father, the father cleared his throat and began to prepare the table. It was the food I ordered separately to give to my grandfather.
“Father. I’m here.”
The father’s eyes looking at the grandfather’s oxygen were vague. Because my grandfather was an irreplaceable father to my father.
Tears came to my eyes at the thought that one day, when I was my father’s age, I might find my father’s grave.
“I’ll have a drink first.”
Father was polite and served the drink.
Ha-yeon came to my side and pulled my pants.
“Ha Yeon-ah. Why?”
“Where is Grandpa?”
The child was not yet old enough to understand death.
“Grandpa is in heaven.”
“But why did you come here?”
“Because this place is close to the sky.”
I could see the sky with white clouds passing by along with the open view around me. It was as if my grandfather had sent a cloud to keep my descendants from getting too hot on the way.
Hayeon looked up at the sky.
“Grandpa! I’m here!”
The child put his hand over his ear and looked up at the sky, blinking his cute eyes.
“Grandpa says he’s happy.”
“Huh? Didn’t you hear anything?”
“It can only be heard by adults.”
“is it so?”
Hayeon tilted her head.
‘Someday Ha-yeon will learn the meaning of death.’
But I hoped that the time would not be delayed. I thought that I should live a long and healthy life for my child’s happiness.
“Jaegu. Come and have a drink.”
“Yes. Father.”
I put Andong soju on my grandfather’s grave.
‘thank you. grandfather. I’ll live really well.’
No matter how many times I said thank you, it wasn’t enough.
***
On my way down from the memorial service at my grandfather’s grave, I got a call from Benjamin Chung.
“Yes. I am.”
{boss. I confirmed that the surveillance target was receiving an unknown box. What should I do?}
“Send me the address. I’ll take care of it.”
Why are you accepting bribes on national holidays?
He’s such a scary man
If a person from Yusan’s camp received a bribe, it was enough to inform Dokgogap and leave. It was a fight between Han Jung-taek and Lee Yu-san, so it was something that those who sincerely supported Han Jung-taek would take care of.
‘I don’t need to strain.’
Later, I was on the same boat as them to take over the Han Jung-taek camp as it is, but I was ultimately on Seol Kyung-taek’s side.
Rep. Seol Gyeong-taek was a person who spoke well and, above all, had high reliability.
‘I couldn’t even compare with Han Joong-taek.’
I wasn’t the type to believe in divination or fortunetelling, but I did believe that people had auras. Looking at high-ranking executives, I felt something different about them than the average person.
‘I didn’t feel anything from Dokgojeong.’
If Seo Eun-chae had felt an aura from the person she had chosen, she might have thought about revenge. However, Dok-go-jeong did not even have the aura of an ordinary executive level.
‘It’s a bit burdensome to have a single glove.’
He hadn’t turned into an enemy yet, but he was an unknown guy. I didn’t know if he was using me to revitalize Han Jung-taek, or if he really had a crush on me.
But for sure, I was a bastard.
‘Even though it’s small, it’s worth being respected just for forming a group with executives from other groups.’
If you didn’t reveal it to me, you didn’t have to sort it out yet.
‘It’s a story about when Dokgo Group was renamed.’
He promised me that he would change the name of Dokgo Group. Since Dokgo Jin was the Dokgo Group that he protected like Ok-Yeop Geum, changing the name meant that he would escape from his shadow.
‘If the company name is not changed…’
It meant not being able to step out of the shadows of my family and taking their side one day. If that were the case, the poisoned glove would also have to be removed.
When I first saw Alec Carver or when I first saw Hugo Evans, I felt a different aura. And, as expected, the two were giants.
‘I don’t know because I’m used to it now, but it was strange when I first met him.’
It seemed that something of that person was created from the relaxed attitude and posture that stemmed from confidence. Regardless of what you currently have, anyone with an aura had room for further development.
So there was a reason to push Seol Gyeong-taek even more.
I sent the name and address of the person who took the bribe to Dokgo-gap.
{thank you for the information.}
Now it was up to him to figure it out.
***
Five people were arrested for taking bribes during the New Year’s Day. The police raided the scene, and a bribe was found inside. It remains to be seen whether he will be arrested or not, but the fact that he took a bribe and went to the police station was more important.
‘Once it’s published in a local newspaper, it’s natural, and it’s also advantageous to make an edition with it.’
With the general election just around the corner, it was risky to nominate candidates who exposed new weaknesses. Whether Yusan would take them was another story.
‘Irregularities in the entrance exam have risen as an issue again on New Year’s Day.’
Lunar New Year, a national holiday.
It was a season when numerous family and friends gathered to talk about the current situation.
The main questions are grades, college, work, marriage and children. If you have a family with students taking the exam, you have no choice but to be very sensitive to the entrance exam.
Since relatives gather in one house during the holidays, one of them was bound to be the examinee. In a house where there are test takers, stories related to the entrance exam are bound to come out, and it was only natural that the media would talk about irregularities in the entrance exam.
In this way, the story of irregularities in the entrance examination spread further through the meeting place called the meeting of relatives.

The fact that mocking posts started to appear was a sign of memeticization. At this time, if you throw a little compound, it will spread unconventionally in the community.
‘Because there are people everywhere who want attention.’
Not only Lee Yu-san’s camp, but also Han Jung-taek’s camp were involved in the irregularities in the entrance examination. So, if I were to inflate it, it was right to inflate it on my side.
I put in a request to a viral marketing company on the deep web.

{Please shed light on irregularities in the entrance examination of members of the National Assembly other than Representative Ryu Kwang-min. Please call the amount and wallet address.}
