406: Stick and see (6)
“Did you hear that? Rumors that the boss of the strong group in question today is attending.”
“What? Where else did you hear about that, are you sure?”
●●Lee Gi-dong, the sixth member of the group, whispered in a whisper. He didn’t have any special abilities, but he was the only one that everyone acknowledged when he went out to socialize and ask for information.
Choi Nam-hoon, hearing his words, pricked up his ears. Although he had been close to his peer Lee Ki-dong, he did not trust the words of his friend who only asked about the level of chirashi.
But this time it was very interesting. Ki-dong Lee, who was excited by the unusual reaction of a friend of the same age, who was always clumsy, blew up the information he knew.
“A few days ago, Sangyun-nim of Yangjeon group asked me about the meeting schedule. So I thought there might be something, so I tried running the Humint. Huh!”
“Sangyun hyung? He seldom attends our meetings. He must be busy with the competition for succession among the brothers…”
“I know yeah···. So that’s weird. Besides that older brother, the 4th Dongyoung group and the 4th Taehwan group, it seemed like everyone who had not even seen their noses at the meeting would participate.”
“So, you’re saying that because of Kang-ho, the group’s managing director, old bastards are attending this meeting, right?”
Lee Ki-dong rubbed his hands and licked his lips. Nam-hoon Choi tilted his head and asked at his anticipation for something.
“Because it is. So, something could happen today. In any case, a new wind will finally blow in the quiet meeting.”
“Well, what should be changed if one more person comes in? By the way, does a single manager ever qualify to attend our meeting? At least here, only the Royal Family or owners who have achieved similar success gather here…”
“That’s what our old man was. The guy holding the Tsar coin is that guy. So, he told me to make friends and ask for some information. Haven’t you heard that?”
“Our kkondae is not interested in things like coins. I’m just worried about how to make up for the price of the building that I lost with the stock last time.”
“So you have to pay more attention to the coin. Daeyoung and Kangho are the only stocks that are going up significantly these days. It’s all because of the Tsar Coin…”
“What do you know? Even if I make money anyway, there is no way it will fall on me. He’s just the eldest son in every word, our Kkondae… Sibal!”
There were quite a few people in the hotel banquet hall where the meeting was held, even though it was early. If it had been a boring gathering like usual, I would have been busy thinking about where the second car would go.
But this time, everyone mumbled on a different issue. They were excited about the story of a new guest, not someone they’ve always seen.
Someone deliberately opened the door that opened without a sound and walked in. The eldest son of the △△ group, who led this meeting, stood in the place where people’s eyes were caught in an instant.
“Wow! Attendance is very good even though it is early. haha!”
“I can’t miss out on such a good view. Ho Ho!”
Beside him, his fiance Lim Ah-young stood with her arms crossed. Couples formed through arranged marriages between chaebols always attended official events together.
“They still do that. Aren’t you embarrassed? ttt!”
“It’s an arranged marriage after all. We all want to have fun, but what is there to complain about?”
Lee Ki-dong responded with a bitterness to Choi Nam-hoon’s tongue-kicking sound. Both of them were selected as the first to play promiscuously among my peers.
They were truly a show-window couple. Each of them changed their lovers at random, but acted like that, pretending to be in a good relationship in front of others.
It was all because of their water drink. In order to continue a luxurious life, they had to get married as an adult told them to.
“Today’s meeting is going to be a lot of fun. A group of newcomers will come. haha!”
While sitting at the round table in the front, Jung Doo-hee talked as if to listen. It was a fact that everyone knew that his family and the Gye clan of the □□ group were powerful.
The reason why he took on the role of the leader of V Society was because of the pretext of replacing the group’s president, who is still young. And the fact that powerful young people didn’t come out well also played a part.
“Are you cringing just by looking at it?”
“Who is that little boy from Kangho Group?”
“Who else is there except him? These days, Chairman Gye is fleeing to Japan because of Kang-ho and Dae-young.”
“Is that for you? I was ignoring the customer complaints and tried to throw money into the media, but I got kicked and splattered.”
“Anyway, there’s no way that guy who claims to be the president of the group Shidabari can stand still. Fortunately, the company I was assigned to is also in the midst of returning to subcontracting to the □□ group…”
Guards lords! Whoops!
After the couple Jung Doo-hee appeared, people started talking in a crowd. Like Dong Dong and Nam Hoon said, most of the conversation was about Jung Doo Hee’s backstory.
Those who do not know say that they have seen the children of chaebols and have had diamond spoons in their mouths since they were born. But no matter how expensive a spoon is, if you don’t have the ability, it will be taken away.
It wasn’t that I didn’t live without it, and if I lost what I was enjoying and living, it was hell from that day. However, it was not that the children of chaebol families were born with extraordinary abilities.
In the end, they managed to protect their wealth by tricking them in their own way. Among them, Jung Doo-hee was famous for playing the role of a handsome rattle and taking care of my rice bowls.
Then he spoke like he was very serious. He’s going to have an interesting spectacle today. Everyone here already knew who it was referring to.
And after a while. Another group lined up and entered the banquet hall. It was the tteokbokki that had been attending the meeting in a long time.
As they entered, the half-empty banquet hall was full. Only tteokbokki made up half of the meeting.
“Oh, Mugil! Why are you stuck there?”
“Namhoon! Don’t ask me that. There’s a story I can’t tell. Huh!”
Nam-hoon’s eyes widened as he saw his friend in the tteokbokki group. The guy who had been on the 2nd club pilgrimage with him until the last meeting was caught on the last line of a group that is in full swing these days.
You haven’t contacted me for a while, so have you ever changed routes? Nam-hoon and Dong-dong, unable to contain their curiosity, forcibly sat him down on the table.
“Hey, I meant to sit over there.”
“Jjasik, what are you doing with us? There is no difference here or there. Let’s just sit down and talk for a while.”
Dong-dong took the first step and comforted him. He was a good friend of mine, and he acted like a best friend after having a few drinks.
Even Mugil did not dislike Maneuver, which always excites the party. So, the two of them sat down at the table.
“What are you with these bastards?”
“phew! It happened because my kkondae drove me to an island.”
“Island, what kind of island is it?”
“There is such a thing. Don’t ask any more because it will hurt if you know. Anyway, I’m no longer the Kangmu-gil I used to be. I decided to start a whole new life. They know that!”
“Child, you speak as if you have received some kind of fire from the Holy Spirit.”
“Well, it’s not like that. Except that I was not fire, but water…”
“What, did you really go to a religious camp? Did you even receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit there?”
“Damn! I went to church every Sunday to make connections, and I became a very religious person.”
“Hey, that’s right, if our kkondae doesn’t go, they say they will confiscate the card right away, so we just pretended to go. To be honest, these days, I don’t go out very well because I’m in another pocket. Oh, to be honest, I couldn’t hold my breath for even a few minutes.”
As he spoke, he shuddered several times. The gathering place of the world’s old people was the church he attended.
Everyone who saw him said ‘Are you awake?’ In fact, they live a very different life…
“But who are those people over there? These are people I haven’t seen before…”
“ah! I saw them for the first time before, and they were the CEOs of venture companies who came as observers this time.”
“Then the development of hydrogen/renewable energy storage and conversion technology….”
“Yeah, I’m here! That was the average height and gray-haired person over there. Why are you interested?”
“If our kondae meets that person at this meeting, he urges me to try something to seduce him. It’s a promising technology, so I want to invest in it, but I keep turning it down.”
To Nam-hoon’s question, Mu-gil answered, pointing at a person with a smirk. Then, Nam-hoon’s eyes changed and the new party lifted their heads in the direction they were sitting.
“It would be better not to expect too much. It seems that they have already received enough support.”
“What, to whom…?”
“Who are you, Kangho’s group. It seems that Director Jang himself invested in it.”
“Director Jang, is that young man coming this time?”
Dong-wook interrupted Mu-gil’s words and asked. Then, Mu-gil’s expression suddenly wrinkled.
“Don’t ever say that you look down on Mr. Jang in front of me again. If you want to die gracefully.”
“Hey, why? To be honest, it’s just a salaried subject, and you can’t treat it as the same as us. It is said that bloodlines are different, bloodlines are…”
“Shut up, kid! What kind of bloodline is the subject that I barely cover with my parent’s card…”
“Damn it, you talk like you’re not losing. You are no different from me.”
“So that’s what you’re saying. I completely stopped living like that. Without it, I decided to live on my own. In any case, please don’t talk like that, Mr. Jang again. Because you’re not the one to put it in your mouth. I’m just saying these words with the remaining friendship. If you say that again, you will never see me again.”
jump! Whoops!
Mugil stood up calmly and walked towards the original group. The tteokbokki sitting there greeted him and pointed to his seat.
“Did that bastard already take the pills, why are you getting angry every time you say something? what did i do wrong Sibal!”
“I think he was completely stuck over there. I think there’s something about that guy named Sangmu.”
“What is there? Where in Korea can anyone beat the chaebol with pure skill? Does that make sense?”
I drank a lot of water on the table to see if the maneuver was hot. Then he raised a glass and called the waiter with water.
Chop!
A waiter standing by the wall ran and poured water into his empty glass. Just looking at it, it looked like a college student was working part-time during winter vacation.
“look! that this is reality Neither you nor me did any part-time job when we were students. I’ve been to foreign clubs and shooting. But the bad-blooded guy can’t even take a break on vacation. Even if it’s dirty, this is the reality. To be honest, it’s not my fault. Isn’t it, student?”
Dong-wook openly mocked the part-timer who was looking at the waiter. With a hardened expression on his face, he closed his eyes as he had been taught without saying a word.
“Don’t listen too hard. ‘Cause I’m telling you that this is real I didn’t create this reality. Anyway, here’s a tip!”
Dong-dong took out a few 50,000-won sheets and shoved it in front of the part-timer. However, the part-timer was not willing to accept the money.
“Hey, the tip amount was too small. Anyway, I don’t know that money is precious these days because prices are rising. ruler!”
He took out a few more 50,000 won bills. The part-timer, who had been thinking about fifty thousand things, took the tip reluctantly and stepped back.
“Baby, you have a lot of eyes. If you don’t get it, you know what it’s going to be like. Isn’t it?”
“okay. I probably didn’t send it to you because of your nature. Giggles!”
Namhoon agreed with him. Maneuver was a good-natured and sociable friend, but only for those of his equal rank.
He didn’t treat people he thought were inferior.
“This is the reality. It’s a different world from birth. You have to accept reality as it is. Where do worms creep up?”
“Child, then you can come out on the evening news in a sloppy outfit too. Be careful.”
“Don’t worry about anything. I’m not that thoughtless. Huh!”
At that moment, the closed door opened again and several people entered. Recognizing the tall man standing in the front row, the tteokbokki got up quickly, bent over in unison and shouted.
“Sir, are you here?!”
“Hey hey! What kind of gangster movie are you filming? Just sit with your back straight. Make people feel uncomfortable…”
The people who were not tteokbokki drank water while watching the scene and heard Sare. The moment Cheol-woo appeared, he felt that the atmosphere of the banquet hall had changed in an instant.
