Choi Young-jun hugged each of the children, but had to turn back and go outside before he could even take off his tie.
It was because the gentleman who had been with me until a moment ago suddenly called me back to my home.
“We’re okay, let’s go.”
Lee Yu-jin, his wife, touched Choi Young-jun’s clothes and kissed him lightly.
“thank you.”
“When you come in, come in quietly. Don’t wake the kids.”
“okay.”
“It’s not a good thing for your father to call you late at night, so just bow your head, okay?”
“okay.”
Choi Young-jun left home, drove his car and headed to Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon’s mansion.
Several other cars were already parked.
He must have been calling not only himself, but all of his brothers.
‘What’s going on? Could it be that something is wrong with your father?’
Feeling worried, Choi Young-jun hurriedly opened the door and entered without receiving guidance from his butler, Bae Chung-sik.
When I opened the door to the study, Choi Kyung-hoon was not there and only the brothers who had been called in late at night and had their mouths sticking out were seen.
“Why are you so late?”
Choi Kyung-jun asked in an irritated voice.
“I got off work late because I had work to do at work, bro.”
“What do you have to do? Are you always at work?”
“Leave it alone. But you’re so eager to try something. Do you know what you’re doing?”
Looking at Choi Oh-jun, who seemed to be embracing him but actually turning him away, Choi Young-jun sat on the sofa with a bitter smile on his face.
“Youngjun said he would still be helpful to the group, but why are you so upset? Huh?”
When Choi Sang-jun, who had withdrawn early from the battle for management rights, said something, Choi Oh-jun chuckled.
“A coward speaks.”
“What? This bastard?”
Choi Sang-jun suddenly stood up.
“I’m scared, so I always stick next to my older brother like a traitor, but why? Hit me?”
“Hey! Everyone stay still. Where are these people fighting?”
Choi Kyung-jun shouted loudly, and Choi Sang-jun clenched his trembling fists and sat down on the sofa.
Choi Oh-jun just smiled insincerely.
– Rumble.
Kyung-Hoon Choi opened the door and came in.
“You kids! Whenever you get together, you fight? Is this your living room?”
It seemed like the voice could be heard even outside the door.
As Choi Kyung-hoon’s loud voice rang loudly in the office, everyone bowed their heads.
“I’m sorry, father.”
Unlike what he saw during the day, Choi Kyung-hoon seemed to be in a very bad mood.
Youngjun Choi sighed lightly, thinking that he was fortunate that his health had not developed as he had feared.
Soon Bae Chung-sik brought a portable whiteboard, and Choi Kyung-hoon pointed to one side of the room.
“Leave it over there.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
When Bae Chung-sik left, Choi Gyeong-hoon looked at his sons sitting quietly on the sofa.
The corners of Choi Kyung-hoon’s eyes were faintly trembling, a sign that he was holding back his anger to the end.
They, who had lived next to Choi Kyung-hoon for decades, were also aware of it, so they all seemed nervous and careful about what they said.
“The baseball team I support lost in the opening game in March this year.”
The four brothers looked perplexed at the sudden baseball story.
“The damn guy who came out as a batter with one out and bases loaded struck out on three pitches, so I missed my chance to turn the game around. If I had done something, like a bunt or a ball to the outfield! If I had done anything, we could have tied the game and sent it to overtime. “The team lost thanks to this idiot throwing a full swing all the way to the end.”
‘what?’
‘There’s no way we’re talking about baseball at this hour.’
‘Are you senile?’
‘……’
While everyone was thinking differently and trying to understand what the situation was, Kyung-Hoon Choi was still glaring at them.
“And then an article came out saying that that damn guy had joined hands with illegal sports betting guys and deliberately struck out. That was match-fixing.”
At Choi Gyeong-hoon’s last words, Choi Gyeong-jun felt as if the blood in his entire body went cold.
“Hey, what does Kyung-jun think about this?”
“That… that.”
Gyeong-jun’s complexion turned white when his name was called first, and the other brothers, who did not know why, tilted their heads as they looked at Choi Gyeong-jun who hesitated.
Even after waiting for a while, no answer came out of Choi Kyung-jun’s mouth, and Choi Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue and looked away.
“Sangjun and you?”
“Match-fixing in a sport that should be fair? This should be severely punished.”
At Choi Sang-jun’s words, Choi Gyeong-jun’s face became completely white as if bleach had been sprinkled on it.
This time, Kyung-Hoon Choi turned his head to Oh-Jun Choi.
“Ohjun, what about you?”
“To those who run an illegal private gambling house, he is the number one contributor, but to those who are harmed or feel betrayed, he is a traitor. The evaluation varies depending on both sides.”
Choi Oh-jun thought that his father was calling his brothers to evaluate something, and he gave an appropriate answer based on his judgment.
“So? Let’s protect the guy who fixed the match?”
“That’s not necessarily true. It depends on the situation.”
Choi Kyung-hoon quickly turned his head and looked at Choi Young-jun.

“Youngjun, what about you?”
Youngjun Choi calmly lowered his gaze and looked at the ground.
I remembered what Manager Ahn Jung-gyu told me that evening.
It was a story about a plan that had been moved from Sales Department 3 to the Planning Department, and he said there was a high possibility that his eldest brother, Choi Kyung-jun, was involved in it.
He even mentioned the possibility that Chairman Lee Geon-wook of the Shido Group had exchanged the shares he owned and the plan, but Choi Young-jun did not believe it.
Still, he thought there was no way his brother could have done something so stupid.
However, after listening to him talk about his angry father and the unexpected game-fixing in baseball, I thought that maybe what Ahn Jeong-gyu had said might be true.
‘Is it about punishment?’
My father, who had been watching me, hated incompetence the most.
If he had the ability, he would turn a blind eye to even the slightest corruption.
That’s why CEO Yoo Ji-hoon was kicked out of Hanyoung Electronics and was able to come to the general trading company.
In some ways, it may be a serious matter, but considering Choi Kyung-jun’s performance so far, the possibility of him being kicked out all at once was slim.
“Sports and management are different.”
I like people with big dreams
Choi Sang-jun and Choi Oh-jun were confused by the unexpected answer, not knowing what the youngest was talking about.
On the other hand, Choi Kyung-jun and Choi Kyung-hoon looked at Choi Young-jun without saying a word.
Choi Oh-jun shook his head in frustration at the strange, unknown airflow.
‘Something happened. ‘Why am I the only one who doesn’t know?’
Kyung-Hoon Choi asked Young-Jun Choi.
“Are you serious?”
“Yes, father.”
“You ugly bastard! Why can’t people be so cruel!”
“I’m sorry. This is my way.”
Choi Kyung-hoon glared at Choi Young-jun with disapproving eyes for a long time.
‘You idiot.’
Choi Oh-jun, who could not bear it anymore, raised his voice.
“What the hell is going on? Father!”
“Tsk, tsk. What kind of group are you going to lead with that kind of information?”
“yes?”
Rather, Choi Kyung-hoon clicked his tongue.
Choi Oh-jun’s face turned red when he saw Choi Sang-jun laughing and laughing next to him.
‘You’re being rude in front of people!’
Choi Gyeong-jun, who was sitting at the head of the table, was stiff with both hands on his knees.
‘Father knows about this. How did know? ‘How on earth?’
Cold sweat broke out all over my body, and before I knew it, my clothes were wet, as if they had been sprinkled with water.
Choi Kyung-hoon glared at Choi Kyung-jun once again and clicked his tongue.
‘Try to say something.’
Where did you sell the confident attitude you showed so far?
Looking at Choi Gyeong-jun, who was cowering like a scumbag, Choi Gyeong-hoon cursed inwardly.
‘He admitted that he did it himself and fell asleep. ‘You idiot.’
Kyung-Hoon Choi dragged the whiteboard that Chung-Sik Bae had brought earlier.
“So, I came up with a good idea. I wondered what it would be like to apply the three-strike-out system when handing over management rights.”
There were five names written on it.
Gyeongjun Choi.
Choi Sang-jun.
Ohjun Choi.
Youngjun Choi.
Choi Hye-na.
Choi Oh-jun said with a slight frown.
“Why is Hye-na in there?”
“Aren’t you my blood?”
“Not this!”
“If you are president, do whatever you want.”
Choi Oh-jun shouted with an expression of frustration.
“Don’t you know how hard we worked while taking business classes, Father? Hye-na, that guy only did what he wanted to do. Why are you trying to put us on the same level as that guy! It’s not fair!”
Choi Kyung-hoon answered by picking his ear with his little finger.
“So you think it’s natural for you to inherit the group because you’re my child?”
“that······.”
“The group’s flying and crawling executives will think the same thing when they see you. Why is the world so unfair?”
“…….”
Choi Gyeong-hoon laughed while looking at Choi Oh-jun, who had become mute, and said, pointing to the blackboard.
“Those who strike out should not even think about taking over the group. They are literally out.”
After saying that, he put an ‘X’ next to Choi Kyung-jun’s name.
Choi Kyung-jun’s expression, who was looking at the blackboard, was completely distorted.
“…Hyung. What the hell is going on?”
Choi Sang-jun asked as he looked at Choi Gyeong-jun, who lowered his head, but he only gritted his teeth and lowered his head more deeply and said nothing more.
Choi Youngjun, who was quietly watching the scene, opened his mouth.
“Is there no way to make up for it?”
“If you get my approval, I’ll cross out the ‘ “The more ‘O’s there are, the greater the possibility of receiving my share.”
It was Choi Gyeong-hoon, who had not said anything about his successor until now.
Bringing up the topic of shares like this also meant that competition would begin in earnest.
Because it was only natural that the person who inherited Choi Kyung-hoon’s shares would inherit the group.
Meanwhile, Oh-Jun Choi looked with new eyes at Young-Jun Choi, who was calmly sitting on his right.
‘When did this kid grow up like this?’
