35. The price of a past life (3)
The conversation never ended.
Looking at the spot where Kim Hyun-seong stayed, Park Jeong-hak recalled the last words Kim Hyun-seong said a little while ago.
“I’ll give you exactly three days. “Keep in mind that after three days, whatever choice you make cannot be undone.”
It was an unrealistic situation.
A person who was the CEO of an affiliate of a large corporation was swayed around by a lump of blood who was about to become an adult, without being able to say anything. My emotions were boiling over. The feeling of wanting to throw down the seat rose countless times due to the unfamiliar feeling of helplessness, but Park Jeong-hak’s instinct warned him that he should never do that.
Hyunseong Kim.
He is not an easy person.
Didn’t just one high school student cause the current situation called Golden Gate?
Considering the actions he has shown so far, the statement made in front of him is not a simple threat.
‘You betray Yoon Hyun-min.’
I chewed my lips gently.
Betrayal wasn’t easy either.
It was clear that Yoon Hyun-min’s cruel disposition, which pushed Rep. Lee Kyung-cheol over the edge, would try to kill the traitors within him. In fact, he was steadily proceeding with his plan to bury ‘Lim Cheol-hyung’. Hyunmin Yoon emphasized that in order for the Golden Circle to move in the right direction, betrayal must come at a price.
It was stuffy.
Obedience also takes getting used to.
At first, Park Jeong-hak was given a leash and had to compromise, but now Park Jeong-hak felt afraid of Yoon Hyun-min’s presence.
“How did I end up in this situation?”
Many years ago.
Stepping into the Golden Circle was the problem.
Since it was a group in which most of the powerful people in the know were involved, I thought there would be no problem with things being done as usual. It was a complacent decision. Why is a child’s education so important? They are greedy and fear that they might gain more power by using their children. In the end, he gave himself the leash.
I couldn’t make decisions alone.
Park Jeong-hak took a gulp of bottled water and immediately called someone.
“This is Park Jeong-hak.”
Heavenly members.
I felt like I had to see them again.
* * *
Same spot.
Same member.
It was an unpleasant situation.
For them, who had to keep their relationship a secret, the fact that they met so quickly was very uncomfortable.
but.
“… … “How should I do this?”
It was a necessary meeting.
In order to even slightly increase the chances of survival, the people here needed to move as one body.
To Park Jeong-hak’s question.
National Assembly member Hong Dong-young said.
“I don’t think I can ignore Kim Hyun-seong’s proposal. As everyone knows, he is a guy who knows how to play with people. Not only did a high school student open the Golden Gate, but it is also fascinating to see the people he recruited in the process. Go Chang-beom of Myungjin Construction, Choi Seung-pil of the School Violence Prevention Committee, Bang Hyun-tae of the Jeonghan Ilbo, Kim Pan-ho of the Prosperity Party, Kang Dong-cheol of the Central District Prosecutors’ Office, and now CEO Lim Cheol-hyung. Would those people have been crazy and thoughtlessly accepted Gopi-ri’s proposal? “It means that the unknown plan going on behind the scenes is that powerful.”
“Then do you really want to accept Kim Hyun-seong’s offer? “The opponent is Yoon Hyun-min, the successor to the Taeyang Group.”
“I know. But what should I do? If you have a choice, you have no choice but to bet on the one with the highest chance of survival.”
Okay.
We made eye contact.
A gathering of six people, including Park Jeong-hak and Jeon Sang-cheol.
It was enormous power.
Just by looking at these people shaking, you could tell that Kim Hyun-seong was no ordinary guy.
Hong Dong-young led the atmosphere.
“To be honest, Rep. Lee Kyung-cheol’s death still bothers me. I am someone who has been in politics for a dozen years, but Rep. Lee Kyung-cheol is a key figure in the ruling party, which has grown in power for a long time. If a person like that is driven to death, there is no law that prevents me from being sacrificed as well. Above all, Kim Hyun-sung’s words are sufficiently persuasive. Why are we surrounding Hyunmin Yoon? Since Yoon Hyun-min is a member of the Golden Circle, he has no choice but to protect him so that he will not be destroyed along with him. But if insider documents threaten us all, that cause becomes meaningless.”
“The word is not the worst, but the lesser evil. Do you agree with that?”
“… … yes. Lim Cheol-hyung has already passed. Although they only provide circumstantial evidence, there is no guarantee what will happen from the moment the traitor emerges from within. If Yoon Hyun-min had risked the loss and shown himself to protect the Golden Circle until the end, he would not have even considered the option of betrayal, even if his name would have been stuffed into the Golden Gate. No matter how serious the situation becomes, the power will still remain. “He must have seen the future and shown strong faith in this relationship.”
Lee Kyung-cheol was a kind of signal.
A signal that anyone can throw away at any time.
In fact, the Golden Circle’s way of solving problems was to abandon others to ensure their own safety.
“But now, Yoon Hyun-min is strictly protecting his own safety. On the surface, they say it’s for the Golden Circle, for all of us. The moment anyone here is identified as a ‘member of heaven’, they will have to accept sacrifices like everyone else. I don’t like that. Even if it’s because I’m afraid of the moment that will come someday, and because I’m uncomfortable with this situation that has been formed like a master-slave relationship. It can’t go on like this. Yoon Hyun-min is no longer the kind of person who guarantees comfortable power.”
“Hmm.”
Everyone showed serious expressions.
I couldn’t make a decision hastily.
Since it was something that could not be undone, they exchanged opinions for several hours.
And throughout the conversation.
The same problem was repeated like a round and round table.
‘I can no longer trust Yoon Hyun-min.’
That was the biggest problem.
If he could be destroyed by being abandoned by Yoon Hyun-min, there was no reason to risk his life to protect Yoon Hyun-min.
at last.
“… … “I will contact Kim Hyun-seong and hear the detailed plan first.”
Park Jeong-hak’s remarks represented everyone’s decision.

The solar group was shaking.
Due to the succession of bad news, the atmosphere at the top of the Taeyang Group was unusual.
“I’m sorry, Chairman.”
Hyunmin Yoon bowed his head.
The person in front of you.
The man sitting around in his chair and looking out the window was Yoon Byeong-ho, Yoon Hyun-min’s father and the chairman of the Taeyang Group.
Byungho Yoon turned his head.
“Yeah, I should be sorry. “You have committed a mistake that will completely destroy the merits you have accumulated, so I will beg for your sins until my knees wear out.”
“There is no excuse.”
“Hyeonmin. This father is a horse. I knew what you were doing with Taeyang Group on your back. It was amazing at first. How can a high school student come up with such a ridiculous idea and put it into action? The Golden Circle is a dangerous group, but the reason I stood by was because it was my son’s first business. And because you have never let me down.”
It was noisy inside and out.
Although Lee Kyung-cheol was thrown away as prey, the reputation of the Taeyang Group fell day by day due to Yoon Hyun-min.
recent.
At the executive meeting, Yoon Hyun-min’s resignation was also discussed.
“You are my son. Therefore, your position will not be in jeopardy due to this incident, but as your father and chairman of the Taeyang Group, I have no intention of giving you infinite opportunities. Taeyang Group rose to its current position thanks to Byung-ho Yoon. If my only son is trying to ruin my achievements, I will have to make a decision and choose a direction that will benefit the group. “Do you know what the biggest mistake you’ve ever made is?”
“… … We created the Golden Circle and made the group dangerous.”
“You’re half right. I have no intention of holding anyone responsible for the moral problems caused by the Golden Circle. In fact, the Golden Circle was beneficial to the group, and it should be recognized as your contribution. The problem is that in the end, the Golden Circle’s atrocities were revealed to the world and harmed the group. “Keep that in mind.”
“All right.”
Byungho Yoon turned his head again.
I didn’t want to keep looking at my son’s face right now.
“Yes, stay disciplined for a while and find a way to make up for your mistakes.”
* * *
thud.
The president’s office door was closed.
Yoon Hyun-min, who was reflecting in front of his father like he was a high treason criminal, his expression became cruelly distorted as soon as he left the chairman’s office.
Snapping.
“… … Kim Hyun-seong, if it weren’t for that bastard.”
Just like my father said.
The Golden Circle was a great achievement created by Yoon Hyun-min, and it was something that would be recognized as his contribution when he later ascended to the position of chairman. But he ruined everything because of one high school student. Even if the insider’s documents were made public, even if the situation was properly resolved, it could not be guaranteed that operations would continue as before.
My stomach was boiling.
Although Yoon Hyun-min does not have severe emotional ups and downs, it has not been easy to control his fluctuating emotions recently.
This incident.
I once again realized that I am not the president yet.
As Chairman Byung-ho Yoon’s only child and outstanding ability, the media reported that Hyun-min Yoon would inherit the chairmanship as a fait accompli. There was actually nothing wrong with it. Byung-ho Yoon’s intention was the same, and the fact that Hyun-min Yoon was quickly given the title of director was part of the succession process.
But just now.
My father said the opportunities are not endless.
If a mistake like this was repeated, even Yoon Hyun-min’s position could be in jeopardy.
“Whoa-”
I took a breath.
I refined my clothes.
In times like these, we must not lose our composure.
‘Be sure to return everything to its original place. Everything, including the Golden Circle and my reputation.’
I took a step.
There was a lot to do.
But then.
When the elevator door opened and a person appeared, Yoon Hyun-min could not help but believe his eyes.
‘… … Kim Hyun-seong!?
It was certain.
Hyunseong Kim.
He is the target of anger.
Appeared at the top of the Taeyang Group.
* * *
Just now.
Chairman Byung-ho Yoon received this message from the secretary’s office.
[CEO Lim Cheol-hyung sent a message through his line saying that ‘Kim Hyun-seong’ would like to meet him in person. What should I do?]
It was unexpected.
To be exact, it was beyond common sense.
I had no idea that the guy who put Yoon Hyun-min in a corner would dare to enter the tiger’s mouth.
I thought it was the same.
I think his ability to lead Golden Gate is great, but the Taeyang Group is not easy enough to be swayed by a mere high school student. I don’t know what plan he has in mind. In response to Kim Hyun-seong’s unexpected intention to meet him in person, Chairman Byung-ho Yoon ordered his secretary to call him into the ‘chairman’s office.’
And I deliberately took a delay.
So that Yoon Hyun-min and Kim Hyun-seong can meet.
I intentionally created a situation for my son’s education.
It was as expected.
When I heard that Kim Hyun-seong had arrived and asked him to come in, I saw Yoon Hyun-min coming in after Kim Hyun-seong.
“father. What the hell is this… … .”
“Get out.”
“but… … .”
“hurry!”
Barak, I screamed.
Seeing Byeong-ho Yoon’s expression showing his anger, Hyun-min Yoon had no choice but to step down in the end, even though he showed an angry face. A reputation as a successor that makes people look up to Yoon Hyun-min. It was all a halo that came from Byung-ho Yoon. Hyunmin Yoon kissed his lips, then took a step back while gritting his teeth.
“… … All right.”
thud.
The door closed again.
Byung-ho Yoon’s eyes turned to Hyun-seong Kim.
Now that I had delivered enough messages to my son, it was time to face the one-day puppy who didn’t know how to be afraid of tigers.
“okay. “Why did you come to see me?”
We made eye contact.
It was unexpected.
Even though he was facing the chairman of a large company that ordinary people would never see before, Kim Hyun-sung’s eyes did not waver.
Hyunseong Kim took a step.
Then, even though I was not told to sit down, I sat down and looked at Byungho Yoon.
“I think the conversation will be long, so please come in front of me.”
Byeong-ho Yoon didn’t even move a muscle.
I didn’t mind.
Even if the opponent looked down on him anyway, Kim Hyun-seong had secured a weapon to lead the game.
Hyunseong Kim smiled.
“I would like to talk to you about your son.”
