Devil Returns to School Days Chapter 107

21. Last Competitive Race (2)

A few days later.

Go Chang-beom visited Kim Hyun-seong.

It was a familiar space.

Go Chang-beom looked around with memories-filled eyes and asked in an uncharacteristically warm voice.

“Do you remember this cafe?”

“I remember. “It’s the space where I first met Go Chang-beom.”

“Yes, this cafe. When I first met you right here, I thought you were mentally unstable. Even though we didn’t even know each other, they showed me the black box and talked about being the successor to Myungjin Construction, so I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. “Do you know why I believed what you said back then when you were just a high school student?”

“Isn’t it because you believed in my plan?”

I sighed and laughed.

In the end, it was the right thing to do, but in fact, it could not be said to be a common sense decision.

Myeongjin Construction.

The person who was supposed to be the successor to a huge company believed the words of a high school student and started a competition to become the successor.

“Your plan was plausible, but most of all, you did not hide your ‘philistine intentions’ from me. He clearly wanted something from helping me, and even though he was a high school student, he didn’t turn down money. I wanted to believe that. “It seemed like if there was a purpose for someone like me, they would do whatever it takes to elevate me to the position of chairman.”

I adjusted my posture and sat down.

He said with a very serious expression.

“Thank you, Hyunseong. Thanks to you, I have officially been promised the position of the next chairman of Myungjin Construction. It will take time for my father to step down from that position, but since he has even announced that he will kick out Changseok, as long as I don’t cause any problems, there won’t be any problems. And I. I plan to keep my promise to you. People call me a fool and I don’t deny that fact, but the important value to me is not the majority who view me negatively, but the trust relationship with the minority that exists by my side. “I will continue to need you, so the goals you desire will definitely be achieved through me.”

This is what it looks like now.

That was the reason I chose him.

If Go Chang-beom had approached him in a situation where he had achieved everything, he would never have given up his sincerity, but right after the police station incident, there was a gap in Go Chang-beom’s heart. A situation where no one trusts him. When it was announced that Ko Chang-seok would ascend to the position of chairman, Kim Hyun-seong approached him and held out his hand first.

That’s how trust was established.

Each time he achieved something thanks to Kim Hyun-seong, Kim Hyun-seong became a special being in Go Chang-beom’s world.

Hyunseong Kim said.

“that word. Please protect me until the end. For that one thing, I will always consider Go Chang-beom as the top priority in all matters.”

“Wow, that’s reassuring.”

We smiled at each other.

Hyunseong Kim really.

For Go Chang-beom, it was a huge feat.

Even if he were to take the position of chairman, he decided that someone like Kim Hyun-seong was absolutely necessary.

Didn’t my father tell me?

Even if you are lacking in skills, if you treat people well, you can lead the company as the chairman.

It was when Go Chang-beom was about to add something.

Suddenly, my cell phone rang loudly.

Ji-ing, ji-ing.

“huh?”

Cell phone screen.

Director Kim Cheol-jin came to mind.

As he is someone who usually does not contact me personally, Go Chang-beom asked for understanding and immediately answered the phone.

however.

Jump up!

“What did you just say?!”

At the sound of a voice coming from the other end of the cell phone, Go Chang-beom jumped up from his seat.

* * *

The problem started with an Internet article.

Although no real name was mentioned, the article clearly identified ‘one construction company’ and attracted people’s attention.

[last year. It has shocked industry officials as it has been revealed that the successor to a construction company that emerged as a blue chip in the construction industry due to a pour-over accident is in fact an illegitimate son. The chairman of the construction company had an illegitimate child from an affair decades ago, and despite his spouse’s strong opposition, he decided to register the illegitimate child on the family register. And not long ago, he announced that he would hand over the position of chairman to his illegitimate son, not his biological child, with his current spouse. Since the construction company in question is a company that prioritizes ‘family management’, it is believed that if this fact becomes known to the public, it will have an impact on future performance. Meanwhile, construction company officials had no idea about this… … .]

Long article.

The listed information pointed to one company and one person.

Myungjin Construction gained great fame due to the pouring accident scandal.

And the truth is that the winner of the competition, Go Chang-beom, whose successor competition ended not long ago, is an illegitimate son.

It was shocking.

Naturally, the Internet was bound to go into an uproar.

-What is it? Where is this?

-This is Myeongjin Construction. Last year, when safety issues at construction companies broke out, was there any other company that emerged as a blue chip because it was the only company that responded properly to a pouring accident? But does that mean that Go Chang-beom is an illegitimate child?

– ㄹㅇ That’s awesome. So, that means that the illegitimate son eventually ascended to the position of chairman.

-I don’t think there will be any problem. Isn’t it okay to build a good building, whether it’s an illegitimate child or something else?

-Comment above. What kind of nonsense is this? For a family business like Myungjin Construction, finding a suitable successor is very important. Most of the company’s executives are people who brought Myungjin Construction up from the bottom, so would they want to follow a successor who doesn’t even know who his mother is? Still, you probably want to support your wife’s biological son, who gave you a glass of makgeolli every time you worked on a construction site.

There was no evidence.

The article only listed the circumstances, but at some point, people accepted Go Chang-beom’s illegitimate son theory as it was.

everyone said

if.

If this is really true.

The competition for successor is an issue that needs to be judged more seriously.

The image of a company is very important, but the image of a company being inherited by an illegitimate son can never be shaken off.

Everyone’s attention was focused.

People waited.

Myeongjin Construction.

The company in controversy.

Please announce an official position.

* * *

That time.

Confirming the boiling public opinion, Go Chang-seok took a sip of wine.

“You idiot. So, why are you taking someone else’s place without even knowing the topic? “If he had just lived a life befitting his position, I would have recognized him as my older brother and treated him as such.”

The fact that he is an illegitimate child.

I found out about it really by chance.

At first, when I joined Myungjin Construction and was doing various things, I noticed a strange flow of funds from Go Myeongjin.

From decades ago until now.

I was paying someone enough money every month.

Since the person he was dealing with for a considerable amount of money was a woman, Go Chang-seok felt strange and began to investigate the woman. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t figure out who she was. Her company officials were complete strangers, so she could have interpreted it to mean that Go Myeong-jin’s money was being passed on to her for her personal intentions.

When doubts increase.

I looked at my mother briefly and heard the shocking truth.

“… … “Your father hasn’t abandoned that bitch yet.”

“What are you talking about. That bitch. “Do you know someone?”

“I know. Changseok. That is, if the original person is successful. Snake-like bitches who don’t care about whether or not they have a wife or anything like that are bound to get caught. And for men going out, that temptation must have been irresistible. Sobbing. Your father, Go Myeong-jin, was the same. “He said he was no different from other men.”

that day.

My mother cried loudly.

The sight of Go Chang-seok expressing the emotions he had suppressed in his heart became complicated.

What my mother said.

It meant that my father was having an affair.

So, am I still sending money because I’m still meeting that person?

But then.

I heard a very powerful story, as if lightning had struck Go Chang-seok’s head.

“Never tell this story to Changbeom. “If that kid hears, the problem will definitely get bigger.”

It sounded somehow strange.

Don’t tell Go Chang-beom.

If Go Chang-beom knew about the affair, would the problem become more serious?

That can’t be possible.

Go Chang-beom is not a very moral person.

He lives with a bar girl every day, and there was no way he would react negatively to the fact that his father once had an affair and that it was still ongoing. Of course, because her love for her family was deep, she could raise her voice, but it wouldn’t turn into a big problem.

suddenly.

That thought occurred to me.

Maybe, really maybe.

It might be a problem other than the wind.

He sent someone to find the woman.

It was as expected.

That woman.

He said he gave birth to “one child” decades ago.

* * *

Go Chang-beom’s eyes turned red.

It had been a warm atmosphere just a moment ago, but now there was no time to worry about Kim Hyun-seong.

“Director. First, block the article. Bring the dog and hitting or feeding the money, or stop it first. ”

Tuk.

I hung up.

I took the outerwear hanging on the chair.

“Hyunseong, I’m really sorry. Something happened at the company. Go Chang-seok, that f*cking bastard. I caused an accident that couldn’t be contained. I can’t forgive you this time. In the meantime, I accepted all kinds of crap aimed at my position, but I can’t stand this. “There are things to do in this world, and there are things not to do, right?”

It was a muttering like a promise.

It looks like something might happen.

Go Chang-beom’s grimly distorted expression showed his anger as if he would explode at any moment.

Hyunseong Kim drank tea.

Kim Hyun-seong looked at Go Chang-beom with a very calm appearance, unlike the boiling atmosphere.

“So what are you going to do? “After you wrap up the case, will you go to Go Chang-seok and beat him up?”

“what?”

Go Chang-beom’s gaze turned towards Kim Hyun-seong.

Just this time.

I couldn’t be more favorable.

It’s a family problem.

If nothing else, I needed to say this carefully.

but.

‘It ended up exploding.’

Hyunseong Kim was anticipating this situation.

Past life.

There was an incident where the problem between Go Chang-beom and Go Chang-seok reached a catastrophe.

That was the ‘illegitimacy excommunication’.

When Go Chang-seok revealed the information related to the illegitimate child, Go Chang-beom exploded with anger and went to Go Chang-seok and punched him in the face. Go Chang-seok, who was hit hard on the chin, suffered permanent disability, and the fierce competition for successor led to Go Myeong-jin, who was disappointed in his two sons, hiring a ‘professional manager’.

It was natural.

Events that took place in the future have become reality despite numerous butterfly effects.

Hyunsung Kim did not avoid his gaze.

He looked directly at me and continued.

“What difference will it make if I take revenge on Go Chang-seok now? Think and act carefully. Mr. Ko Chang-beom has already won the competition for successor, and if he moves hastily, he will end up covered in all the dirt.”

“hey. “But this isn’t it.”

With clothes packed.

Go Chang-beom poured out his emotions.

“Why does this hurt my mother? Even if I do, what should I do about it? Changseok did something he shouldn’t have done. I don’t know about anything else, but I just can’t forgive that fact. It’s crazy to think that our messy fight will eventually affect my mother. Someone will win this competition. Someone will benefit from exposing the dirty truth. But once all the controversy subsides, what remains underneath is the stigma of being the mother of her illegitimate child. So, I guess I’ll have to do it my way this time.”

“That’s why. That’s why I chose Managing Director, not Go Chang-seok.”

“What are you talking about?”

His expression distorted.

It was an unknown sound.

Hyunseong Kim responded calmly.

“You can tell by looking at the manager’s reaction now. “In fact, it is not you, but ‘Go Chang-seok’ who is your illegitimate son.”

Moment.

Go Chang-beom’s eyes shook violently as if ripples were occurring.

“That’s what I said, right?”
