It was a chilly autumn morning. Dojun left his bed and headed for the living room, leaving the children still in deep sleep behind. The sun welcomed me when I opened the curtains on the living room veranda. Dojun briefly opened the window and ventilated it.
Hey! Get away from me! Get away from me!
A pomegranate fruit that stretches its roots in a potted plant in the veranda.
Two sparrows chirp up to peck at the pomegranate.
The seedling shovel, lying side by side by side by side, was trying hard to protect the fruit.
This is a star!
Do-joon smiled at the scene and picked up some rice grains and put them on his palm.
Then as they approached the veranda and reached out their hands, the sparrows flew in and pecked at the grain of rice.
The sparrows must have been full after eating the grains of rice, so they went around Dojun once to express their gratitude and go their own way.
"It's a lot of trouble."
How did I end up... ...in my life?
Then, the stars rubbed their eyes out of the main room. I think I'm still half awake, dozing off to the veranda. The star, who saw the ripe pomegranate, hanging from the roots that stretched out of the pot, smiled brightly.
"Ambar."
"Huh?"
"Two of these Jae-sung New Merchants?"
"Because it's cooked. It's okay."
"What can you write with Hal?"
Dojun nodded with a smile.
Today is Sunday. So, it was a day when Byul didn't go to the daycare center.
Byul used to go to Chairman Moon Kwang-ho's house every two to three weeks.
Star took out his cute squirrel pajamas and put them on after a long time.
Squirrel pajamas that are now practically out-of-town clothes. The big squirrel tail hanging on the butt was the point. The star put three pomegranates in the pouch on the ship. I originally picked four, but I quickly forgot one.
"God, come all the way!"
"I'll take a shovels.
"Woong!"
.......
Apophis.
He was once the Magum.
But now it was no more than a seedling shovel.
What's special is that it has teleport function.
"Get out!"
......go and come back.
Dojun waved his hand.
After a while, the star disappeared with a seeding shovel.
***
SG Group, which has about 20 listed affiliates, was simply the de facto ruler of the Republic of Korea. Moon respected his father, Moon Kwang-ho, who created such an SG group. Moon Kwang-ho, a living legend, has always been serious and has not easily shown compassion even for his children.
But, uh...
"Well, now, I've just told you. Uh....... my little girl, come."
"Laughing! Oh, you read my granddaughter's writing well, too! Very genius, genius!"
Moon's lips trembled at the sight he had never seen in his life. It's been a long time since I visited my house, and I saw a baby. The problem was Moon Kwang-ho's attitude toward the baby. My father was laughing merrily without knowing that he had visited.
What do you mean granddaughters?
In his memory, Moon Kwang-ho had no such granddaughter. Moon coughed loudly and in vain to let her know she was here. Then Moon Kwang-ho was slightly surprised and looked this way, and only then went back to his usual solemn face.
"Have you come?"
"Yes. Chairman."
"Sit down."
Cuddle, sit across from the sofa after a nod. Moon Ji-hyuk glanced at the baby. He looks about two years old. The special thing was that he was very cute...….
a blemish on a person
Moon Kwang-ho was staring at him.
Did he do something wrong?
"You came earlier than I thought."
"Yes, I came right after the board meeting."
"How can a vice president be so light-hearted?"
"I'm sorry, sir."
Moon Kwang-ho sighed with regret.
"Now shall we play with Grandma?”
Moon Kwang-ho picked up the star on his lap and put it down on the floor with a soft carpet. The star jumped to Kim Jung-sook, nodding his head, thinking that adults were talking among themselves. Kim Jung-sook moved to the yard with the stars.
"Daddy, that child......... granddaughter?"
It must be a sensitive issue.
The word "granddaughter" probably means that blood has continued.
Moon Kwang-ho, who confirmed that there was a force around Moon Ji-hyuk's eyes, said quietly.
"You don't know. It's the daughter of the officer in charge."
Moon Kwang-ho, who forgets a pomegranate and speaks calmly.
Moon vaguely recalled his name when he said, "Director-General."
"If it's you......... You mean Lee Do-joon?”
"Yes, I take care of you sometimes when you come over."
Lee Do-joon, who is known only a small part of SG Group's owner family.
Even if he did not know the details, he knew that Moon Kwang-ho was a man who was very concerned about.
It was none other than Lee Do-joon who came here today.
Halmo ni ni go bar! Flower ni ju ju ju ah! The oars and the teeth are connected.
Ho ho. You mean chrysanthemum.
I'm going to kill you!
Do you?
Whoo!
"......."
Moon Ji-hyuk glanced at the star playing in the yard.
"To tell you the truth, I think you care too much about him. No matter how powerful they are, there are a lot of them. You're a class S hunter right now."
I didn't understand.
The world does not simply return to 'physical power'.
Such people become infinitely small in the face of invisible "power."
Right now, SG Group has such power. Huge wealth. Besides, isn't it dominating the current regime?
"And he tried to give you control? No matter how much you may be the chairman, the fact that you tried to hand over your entire stake in Daehan Property, not even an affiliate...…."
Daehan Property is a kernel that Moon Kwang-ho holds tightly as a major shareholder along with Hunter Management Bureau. Daehan Property, which plays a pivotal role in Hunter's industry, was the target of the current SG Group's mid- to long-term plan to pursue a single holding company system as an industrial sector by separating gold and industrial capital.
"You're right."
"How could you...…."
"Just because I'm a little strong, it doesn't make sense to snap a part of the group I've devoted my whole life to. But do you think I'm such an indistinguishable fellow?"
Moon Ji-hyuk shut his mouth tight.
Even during the IMF, when companies went bankrupt day after day, the mythical man who created a huge surplus may not have tried to hand over his stake to gain or borrow a generous "power." There must be some reason.
"Then what on earth is Dojun Lee..."
"Director."
"......."
"He has an intolerable capacity."
"You can't handle it.”
The regime can manage as much as it pleases.
I didn't understand that I couldn't handle a single civil servant.
Didn't even the president who was elected the other day make it with our hands?
"What if there is a fish that you try to catch but can't catch? Very robust and nutritious."
"......you have to use numbers. If you don't get caught by fishing, even if you're throwing rice cakes and netting."
"And what if we don't get caught? Will you give up?”
"You can't do that because someone else might snatch you."
"If you can't get it, you should at least go in the same direction. That way, you'll have a chance someday.”
"......I hear you say that we should move in the direction that Lee Do-joon is going."
As Moon Kwang-ho nodded, Moon Ji-hyuk picked his breath for a moment.
He is the chairman who has taken the lead in his life. It was an impossible response from Moon Kwang-ho, who dislikes being left behind or working under others.
"Mr. President. The man....”
"Director."
"...if you're such a man, how come other companies are letting go?"
"Because I don't know. Just like you did. Would you let it go if you knew?"
Well, it's Moon Ji-hyuk who just learned about Lee Do-joon's existence.
Even the one who was said to have access to information the fastest was missing.
There was no other company to know.
There was only one thing that caught me.
"Managing a company is separate from power. Or is he qualified as a manager? Simply because you're physically strong, you don't understand why your father is doing this."
Suddenly, I remember what Do-joon said.
I have no intention of quitting my civil service until now. Probably the same will happen in the future. There is no reason for me to take the position without a professional manager, and I don't want to work as an entrepreneur.
"He doesn't want management either. However, if he decides the direction, he should follow. I'll probably be one of you three if I step down one day and someone takes over management. You'd better open your eyes in advance because it'll be late if you get ready by then."
One of the three.
Moon Ji-hyuk realized that he had not yet fully gained trust.
said Moon Kwang-ho, who swooped on the tea.
"And the power of the officer in charge is not only S-level. If I did, I wouldn't care."
I'm going to lose the main part of this old town. You see?
Moon Kwang-ho smiled all over his face.
"......Mr. President?"
"Hmmm. Also, the reason I'm playing with Byul is to win the favor of the officer in charge. I'm telling you in advance because I think you're misunderstanding, so don't go anywhere and talk nonsense."
Is that smile also a lie?
Moon thought calmly.
If winning Lee Do-joon's heart, as Moon Kwang-ho said, will have a huge impact on SG Group in the future.
'Can management come to me if I hold onto Lee Do-joon completely?’
Moon Ji-hyuk slowly began to talk.
"Mr. President, can I throw the rice cake for the Korean products you mentioned?”
"It's already over."
"You can. Trust me once."
Beep.
Moon put his smartphone in his pocket.
Of course, I didn't mean to give you any Korean property. Moon Ji-hyuk felt a bit awkward. If the company decides to hand over Korea Asset Management, it must pass the merger plan at the shareholders' meeting anyway. Even if Moon Kwang-ho agrees, if Hunter Administration opposes the plan, the merger will go nowhere.
'Hunter Director of Management, were you thinking of handing over Daehan Property?'
One day, Moon Ji-hyuk intended to merge Daehan with SG. The process is not easy because both have many affiliates, but they have been working under the water for a long time. I was going to finish the management succession from my father and set off a flare-up.
'It could be faster than I thought.’
Judging from Moon's attitude, he would have won the managerial succession if he could have recruited Lee Do-joon. Apparently, Moon Kwang-ho said, "One of the three." The eldest of the five sons and one daughter, he urged her to step forward, confident that she might be pushed back in the succession process if she continues to leave her hands.
