Epilogue, new life (2)
Two years ago.
Kim Pan-ho was elected president, and people predicted that Myungjin Construction would continue to achieve success.
Myungjin Construction is not a listed company whose stocks can be purchased by the general public, but it meets the conditions to be classified as a Kim Pan-ho theme stock if the authority to do so exists. One of the greatest contributors to leading Golden Gate. Moreover, since there was a connection with Kim Hyun-seong, it was not at all strange to expect that.
but.
The situation went differently than expected.
While the new government was still going through a period of labor, Chairman Ko Myung-jin held a press conference.
“As I watched the Golden Gate incident, I felt ashamed of myself. Corruption among those in power is as natural as breathing, and I was not clean enough to point a finger at a heinous group like the Golden Circle. This government has announced that it will do everything it can to eradicate corruption. I agree with that wish, and will voluntarily disclose the corruption committed by Myungjin and become a company with no shame and integrity. I apologize in advance. “We are fully aware of the interest and love the public has shown to Myeongjin recently, but the details of corruption that will be revealed in the future deserve to be criticized.”
It was a shocking move.
Industry officials said:
Why, why?
Are you taking the ridiculous step of disclosing corruption first?
Even though it was clear that he would receive government protection, Myeong-jin dug his own grave.
In fact, Myungjin released internal documents.
Evidence of illegal fund flows used to win orders and atrocities commonly known as practices in the industry. There was an uproar. There were concerns that Myungjin was trying to antagonize the entire construction industry, but Myungjin Construction showed a calm attitude despite being slapped with a large fine. In particular, they revealed issues that could completely ruin their good image, such as withdrawing a few seats from subscriptions.
Reputation deteriorated rapidly.
It was clear that this was a self-inflicted act, and people no longer showed blind faith in Myeongjin.
As a result.
[I will step down from the position of chairman as of today.]
Taking responsibility, Chairman Ko Myung-jin stepped down from the front line.
Go Chang-beom took over that position.
Go Chang-beom also had his past completely uncovered, so he was not considered the right person to support the faltering Myeong-jin. Myungjin’s identity comes from the craftsmanship of Chairman Goh Myeongjin. Now that he had entered a new future, Myeongjin was going through a more confusing time than ever.
* * *
Why on earth is Myeongjin?
Did you dig your own grave?
That was a truth that could not be known unless you were an insider.
Kim Hyun-seong decided to live a new life, not just revenge, and after much thought, he decided that he wanted to make money rather than go to college. People expected her to actively utilize her talent due to her perfect score on the CSAT and the power to destroy the Golden Circle, but Kim Hyun-seong did not show much interest in either.
What Hyunseong Kim wants now.
It was a stable and routine life.
For Kim Hyun-jin to go to college and for her grandmother to stop working, someone had to take over the job.
People might say this.
That is also an unusual life for a student.
However, when he was living in a vegetative state, he clearly remembered the sobs of his family in the hospital room who were sacrificing themselves for the sake of prolonging their lives. Living life for them too. This was something Kim Hyun-seong truly wanted.
It was an opportunity for Go Chang-beom.
To the extent that the thought of “three highs and lows” was laughable, he visited Kim Hyeon-seong every day and asked him to work with him.
The conditions were generous.
Not only an annual salary of hundreds of millions of dollars, but also company stock.
It was a condition applicable to executives.
That’s how much Go Chang-beom needed Kim Hyun-seong, and he acknowledged that it was an attractive offer and put conditions on it.
“If I join Myungjin, you must completely follow my plan. “Can you do it?”
Myeongjin’s actions.
It was Kim Hyun-seong’s plan.
Go Chang-beom nodded with ignorance, but when persuading Go Myeong-jin and the executives, he said this.
“Golden Gate will not simply be a one-off issue. At least under the Kim Pan-ho government, social accusations will be a daily occurrence, and the complex corruption relationships related to Golden Gate will be uncovered one by one and the punishment will be paid. So even if you get beaten, you have to get beaten first. Detecting a crime and confessing are completely different things, and although Myeong-jin may go through some harsh moments in the short term, he never breaks down. What consumers consider important when purchasing a home is not whether the company is corrupt, but how high the quality of the homes the company supplies is. If it were a type of corruption that cuts costs and lowers quality, it would certainly be fatal, but it is highly likely that the corruption we will disclose is completely separate from purchasing psychology. In the end, ‘time’ will prove Myungjin’s value.”
Everyone nodded.
I had to believe it.
Everyone knew that Kim Hyun-seong was not an ordinary high school student, and in fact, the social atmosphere led by the Kim Pan-ho government was unusual. Moreover, the tip of Kang Dong-cheol’s sword did not choose the target. Even if the opponent is Kim Hyun-seong or Myungjin Construction. He was a man who would point the sword to bring about justice.
for that reason.
Hyunseong Kim also returned his apartment subscription.
In fact, when he was ready to die, he planned to at least leave his house behind, but if he thought about his future, there was no need to dwell on such benefits. Because the money he will earn in the future will be much greater. Unlike when he was blinded by revenge and moved forward like a ruthless person, Kim Hyun-seong made a decision with an eye toward the future.
And Chairman Ko Myung-jin’s voluntary resignation was his own choice.
At first, he planned to carry him with him, but now that he is old, he said he would like to trust Go Chang-beom on his behalf. Of course, his gaze rested on Kim Hyun-seong. Because of Kim Hyun-seong, he was able to make a decision.
First year.
It was difficult, as expected.
In the meantime, Myeongjin did not forget his duty.
Even though they said they were under financial pressure due to fines, they actively invested in the quality of the building.
And if it was a building built in Myeongjin’s name, repairs were strictly guaranteed no matter how much time passed.
Seeds were sown widely.
About two years passed like that.
It finally worked.
It all started with a major defect problem.
[Is this because real estate prices have risen steeply? As raw material prices have also risen, construction companies have chosen to reduce raw materials in order to increase profits, rather than providing quality commensurate with the price. The results are coming back now. Not only has the number of defects increased rapidly across the country, but residents have expressed anxiety due to various accidents.]
There are cracks in some places.
There are rebars sticking out in some places.
In one place, a parking lot collapsed.
In a situation where people’s complaints were growing, attention naturally focused on Myungjin Construction, which had an overwhelmingly low defect rate.
It was from then on.
Myungjin Construction rowed.

Despite the fact that the corruption was revealed, the government was friendly to Myeongjin, and the number of people visiting Myeongjin’s building increased explosively, making up for the losses of the past two years in one go. The era of Myeongjin had truly begun. It built an overwhelming image with its belief in quality, and at some point, people called Myungjin a large company. In fact, the influx of work and sales has risen to a level worthy of a large company.
Myeong-jin, who overcame the mistakes of the past.
people said
It is said that Chairman Ko Chang-beom succeeded the previous Chairman Ko Myeong-jin in the most ideal way.
* * *
Recently, Go Chang-beom has had a good public image.
Although he was also the chairman of Myungjin Construction, he was praised by people for his ideal interview every time he was exposed to the media.
however.
Do people know?
Go Chang-beom’s reality is different inside and outside.
“… … Sorry.”
Go Chang-beom muttered in a voice that sounded like he was crawling.
I glanced at the other person, but when Kim Hyun-seong made eye contact, I quickly lowered my gaze.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“President. No, bro. I said it clearly. Now, he is no longer the successor to a local small business, but the chairman of a large corporation recognized in the construction industry. “If the strategies that my brother threw out in an interview as if he was drunk are not properly followed, even if there are no problems right now, he will gradually lose the trust of consumers.”
“… … “I’ll keep that in mind.”
“They say real apples are quick.”
Just now.
There was a formal interview schedule.
It was a place where questions were asked from the general public, and Go Chang-beom readily accepted the people’s demands.
As a practitioner, it was a dizzying situation.
As a result, Go Chang-beom was excited from the car ride back until now.
“And keep as much distance from the government as possible. Although President Kim Pan-ho is receiving enthusiastic cheers from the people right now, the lame duck will definitely come. The prosecutor Kang Dong-cheol I know is definitely not a person who will just sit by and ignore President Kim Pan-ho’s bad past. “Keep in mind that the reason we did not actively take advantage of the background after the new government came into power was to become independent.”
“okay.”
“… … Other than that, the interview was good. Strangely enough, I’ve always been really good at interviews.”
“okay? “Maybe it’s because I have the personality of a president.”
Go Chang-beom smiled brightly.
On the outside, he was known as a solemn chairman, but in front of Kim Hyun-seong, he was no different from a gentle sheep.
Go Chang-beom knew his own skills.
The reason why he was able to rise to the position of chairman, and the decisive reason why Myungjin Construction is still on a roll.
It was all thanks to Kim Hyun-seong.
So, I thought that it would not be a waste at all to give Kim Hyun-seong an annual salary of hundreds of millions of won and a share of the company. Things you can’t enjoy if you’re not Kim Hyun-seong in the first place. Go Chang-beom did not commit the mistake of gaining little and losing much.
To look like that.
Hyunseong Kim chose Myeongjin.
Myungjin thought that he could create an ideal future with like-minded people.
Go Chang-beom said as if something had occurred to him.
“Oh, right. Hyunseong. Would you like to be introduced to a girl? This time, I went to a social gathering at a large company, and the chairman there quietly talked about you. He said he would introduce me to his granddaughter. When I looked into it, I found out that he had a good academic background and a very pretty face.”
“… … “Do you know that I graduated from high school and am an idiot?”
“I know. What does that matter? It’s a well-known fact that you are Myeongjin’s key figure in this world. “If you just ask to be introduced, the president there will welcome you with open arms, right?”
As Go Chang-beom said.
The general public may not know it, but the industry highly valued Kim Hyun-sung’s value.
Myeongjin’s brain.
A key figure who created what Myeongjin is today.
Love calls poured in from all directions.
The fact that he exploded the Golden Gate incident also became an achievement that decorated Kim Hyun-seong as an extraordinary person.
Whatever it was.
Isn’t he a man who produces results?
Hyunseong Kim chuckled.
“That’s Okay. “I’m not interested right now.”
I took a step.
I was about to leave the chairman’s office, but stopped after checking the contents of the text message.
Then he looked back at Go Chang-beom and said.
“brother. Do you want to eat at home tonight?”
* * *
Kim Hyun-seong’s house.
It was Noblesse, a luxury apartment in Daesan.
It was a brand made by Myeongjin and an apartment that had received subscriptions, but Kim Hyun-seong returned the subscription rights and sold it in a legitimate manner. If you include the loan with the salary you received for two years at Myeongjin, it was quite possible. Thanks to this, Kim Hyun-seong’s family was able to escape the basement, and upon entering the interior, the luxurious marble caught their eye.
“Grandma, I’m here.”
“Our Changbeom is here!”
When Go Chang-beom entered warmly, carrying a bundle of tissues, the grandmother welcomed him with a familiar face.
Go Chang-beom’s visit.
It happened often.
My grandmother joked about how she used to wander in front of the house every day when she was in high school.
“What is all this? “My upper legs will be bent.”
In the middle of the living room.
A sumptuous feast was set up.
Today’s meeting was for Kim Hyun-jin.
Kim Hyun-jin proudly entered a Korean university two years ago, but wasted a year to enjoy campus life. In fact, she has to go to first grade again. Still, he couldn’t come to his senses, but somehow he became obsessed with a documentary about the UDT (underwater demolition team) in action, and ended up wasting another year just to enlist in the military. While his friends who were the same age as him were already thinking about returning to school after being discharged from the military, Kim Hyun-jin went on vacation for the first time in a long time, showing off his shaved head.
“Hyunjin, look at his muscles. “He’s become a real man now.”
“brother. Do you know what UDT is? You see these muscles? “This is the UDT average.”
Kim Hyun-jin showing off his muscles and Go Chang-beom responding well.
Kim Si-woo, who arrived first, was busy helping the grandmother prepare food, regardless of whether the two were talking or not.
I laughed.
Some people may say that Kim Hyun-jin is immature.
Even though I entered Korean University, I just wasted two years.
Hyunseong Kim was fine.
Rather, he said this to his younger brother.
“You can do that. Because I’m here, do what you want even if it means wasting a little of your life. “So that you don’t have any regrets.”
A life with a back.
A life that doesn’t have to be stubborn.
Kim Hyun-seong wanted to give Kim Hyun-jin that kind of life as a gift.
It was nice to see.
Kim Hyun-seong’s mouth didn’t turn down when he saw the people he liked getting together and preparing dinner.
I took a step back.
Leaving the bright space behind.
Hyunseong Kim went into his room for a moment.
* * *
Inside a dark room.
Kim Hyun-seong sat on the bed without turning on the light.
dump.
Is it because I felt excessive happiness?
Suddenly, it felt like my past life as a vegetable had never happened.
A memory I don’t want to recall, of being consumed only by revenge and gritting my teeth, driven by evil.
A sense of disconnect arose.
Are the memories of that time really something you experienced?
Is it possible for me to be this happy now?
I picked up my cell phone.
With the light illuminating the dark room, Kim Hyun-seong looked down the contact list and stopped at one name.
[Seongho Bae]
I wanted to contact you.
At one time, I made Yoon Hyun-min’s downfall my life’s goal, so I wanted to ask him how Yoon Hyun-min was doing. If Yoon Hyun-min is still suffering. He will definitely get a lot of satisfaction from it.
but.
“… … no.”
I put my phone back.
The only sure revenge on the perpetrators is their downfall and the victim living happily ever after.
The past is just the past.
No longer bound by memories of the past, I wanted to live a new life without forgetting the existence of Yoon Hyun-min.
Like everyone else.
Kim Hyun-seong deserved to be happy.
We will enjoy our natural rights for granted.
Hyunseong Kim got up from his seat.
And let’s open the door wide.
“Grandma, is there anything I can help you with?”
The bright light shining from the living room wrapped Kim Hyun-seong warmly.
