Choi Young-jun, who drove away from Choi Kyung-hoon’s mansion, parked the car for a moment on a quiet roadside.
As expected, my father did not immediately kick out my eldest brother.
‘Of course. ‘Because I’m not the kind of person who would abandon a capable person just because they made a mistake.’
But there was something that bothered me.
Choi Hye-na’s name written on the blackboard.
Since she runs a small live cafe, she also runs her own business.
However, it was absurd to compare such corner stores with group management.
Choi Young-jun also thought that it was not appropriate for Choi Hye-na’s name to be included in the succession plan.
I didn’t even want it.
‘but…’
There was one person that came to mind.
Sales Department 3, Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo.
The other brothers were so indifferent to Choi Hye-na that they wondered if it was okay to do this, so there was no way for them to know who she was dating.
But he knows Hye-na well.
Also, Hye-na knows what abilities the people she meets have.
‘If it’s him.’
He was one of the talents who contributed the most to the recent explosive growth of Hanyoung General Trading Company.
Because of his background and family, he was undervalued by his brothers, but from the perspective of Choi Young-jun, who worked relatively closely with him, he was someone they never wanted to miss.
Assuming that Kim Cheol-soo was going to marry the youngest, it was safe to say that Choi Hye-na’s name written on the blackboard actually meant Kim Cheol-soo.
It was not impossible, as in the case of large corporations in the rankings, the eldest daughter would directly inherit the group and the son-in-law would often become the group chairman.
Moreover, it made perfect sense for a father who valued ability the most.
‘What if I have to compete with that guy?’
But Choi Youngjun soon shook his head.
Aside from everything else, he was confident that his brothers would not stay still.
‘It’s not something I should worry about.’
After his thoughts reached that point, Choi Youngjun’s hand, which was about to start the car again, suddenly stopped.
Then he looked at himself in the rearview mirror and sighed deeply.
“I was a snob too. I thought I was different from my brothers.”
**
Since Kim Cheol-su insisted that he wanted to watch it together, he took some time late in the evening and went to a movie theater in Sinsa-dong with Hye-na.
Love between blacks and whites, love that transcends borders and ages, love that cannot be achieved, and infidelity.
It was a movie in which almost all types of love stories seen in reality were portrayed in a comical and sensuous way.
Before we knew it, Kim Cheol-soo was immersed in the movie, holding Choi Hye-na’s hand tightly.
Previously, sometime between fall and winter, I would watch a movie by myself once a year with dry snacks and sip beer.
Watching the movie was just like that.
Looking at Hye-na next to me, I felt like I could see the joy of watching a movie.
“Watching that movie made me want to love too.”
“hmm?”
After the movie ended, Kim Cheol-soo, who was drinking a beer at a bar, widened his eyes.
“Aren’t you in love now?”
“Well, I don’t know.”
“uh?”
When Kim Cheol-soo looked embarrassed, Choi Hye-na secretly smiled.
I’m always smiling, but sometimes I’m not sure if I’m just acting or if I’m really doing that.
However, when I saw Kim Cheol-soo really embarrassed by this prank, it was nice to feel that his feelings were sincere.
“Hehe. I guess we have to make fun of Cheolsu like this?”
“Ah. That’s too much. You were really surprised, weren’t you?”
“That’s right. Cheolsu, it’s all shown on your face. Why do you always smile when you meet me when you have such expressive expressions?”
Kim Cheol-soo responded by putting a peanut in her mouth.
“When I look at Hye-na, I just feel so good that I don’t think about anything. So I had no idea what kind of expression I was making. Do you think I’m always smiling when I see Hye-na?”
“Oh? Was that something like that? Me again.”
Hye-na put a squid leg in Kim Cheol-soo’s mouth.
“Oh, by the way. I saw the commercial. It seemed like he could be an actor. But I really thought Yumi and Cheolsu in that movie were dating.”
“Oh, that’s it.”
“Aren’t your eyes funny?”
“Hahaha. It’s not my eyes, is it?”
“Phew, I’m really worried.”
Hye-na sighed, and Kim Cheol-soo pulled his eyebrows together as if he was nervous about what she would say again.
“What?”
“My man is so hot. What should I do if he cheats on me?”
“That will never happen. Rather, I’m worried.”
“which?”
“It’s so pretty that I want to wear it in my pants pocket because I’m afraid someone might snatch it.”
“Fuha!”
She covered her mouth and smiled happily.
“How can I get into the pocket? Well, I’d like to take a look.”
“What do you want to do when you come in?”

“Oh my! Do I really have to say that?”
This time, Kim Cheol-soo burst into laughter.
The two lightly clinked their beer glasses.
“Is the egg growing well?”
“Of course. I have an expert at home, so I’m receiving a lot of coaching.”
“Oh, who?”
“Youngsu guy.”
“Wow! That’s amazing! You’re a great little brother.”
“Yes?”
“Are you ranked first in the entire school these days?”
“I’m doing it like I’m eating. I ranked 5th in the country in the last mock test.”
“amazing!”
“Iknow, right.”
Choi Hye-na said as she put a peanut in her mouth.
“You have to go to work without a weekend, work late at night, go on dates with me, sing at the Blue House, and raise Nando… Isn’t it hard?”
“Because I have a goal. It’s okay.”
“…Are you really going to become the CEO of Hanyoung Trading Company later?”
“of course!”
“Don’t you want to go up higher?”
“Isn’t that too greedy?”
“hmm.”
Choi Hye-na made a sullen expression.
“Why again?”
“I feel like my male ambitions are too trivial.”
“yes?”
“I like people with big dreams.”
“Okay. Then let’s dream bigger.”
Choi Hye-na grinned and put a peanut into Kim Cheol-soo’s mouth.
“Squid and peanuts taste best when chewed together.”

next day.
As soon as Park Jun-hyung got to work, he received a call from Yoo Ji-hoon and headed to the president’s office.
“Is there something you didn’t tell me?”
“What are you talking about?”
“What happened to what you instructed me to do last time?”
“We are investigating now.”
“Investigation?”
Yoo Ji-hoon smiled bitterly.
Yesterday evening, Yoo Ji-hoon received a call from Choi Oh-jun.
I think something happened at Hanyoung Corporation.
I think something happened to CEO Choi Kyung-jun.
Something happened and he asked why no report was made to him.
In short, it was broken for a long time.
I couldn’t sleep because I couldn’t figure out what had happened, so I thought about it all night and called people in the morning to check on Park Jun-hyung’s current status.
“Director Park.”
Hearing Yu Ji-hoon’s voice sink, Park Jun-hyung looked at him with slightly hard eyes.
“Yes, boss.”
“Sometimes it seems like Director Park underestimates me too much, doesn’t he?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Are you really investigating that plan? Or are you hiding something from me?”
Park Jun-hyung shook his head and answered with an expression that had no idea what was being said.
“We’re really looking into it.”
“ha ha ha.”
Yoo Ji-hoon burst into laughter lightly.
“I really approve of Managing Director Park’s poker face. You had a private meeting with Vice President Shin Byeong-hun two days ago, right?”
“….yes.”
“What did you talk about?”
“Regarding the current TF team…”
“You’re laughing. Last year, when you took off Director Jeong Se-yang’s clothes, I stayed still.”
Although he was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the name Jeong Se-yang, Park Jun-hyung never showed it on his face.
“What are you talking about?”
Yoo Ji-hoon, who was reading Park Jun-hyung’s expression, burst into laughter.
“Hahaha. No. Okay. Just leave.”
“···.”
“I have to go to a meeting soon, so go out. Oh, and there’s no need to investigate that plan any further. The chairman said he went to see Chairman Lee Geon-wook.”
“that is······.”
“Get out!”
Yoo Ji-hoon lowered his head with an embarrassed expression and turned his back to glare at Park Jun-hyung, who was leaving.
He already knew exactly how things worked in his head.
‘You’re out this year too. Managing Director Park.’
Park Jun-hyung came out and sighed lightly as he walked down the hallway.
It seemed like Yoo Ji-hoon had noticed how this was going.
Park Jun-hyung, gritting his molars with a stern expression, thought as he went down the stairs.
‘If I don’t take Yu Ji-hoon’s clothes off within this year, I’m going to die. But who on earth is it? ‘Who is the traitor?’
It started from then
“Whoa…”
Lee Geon-wook looked back at Choi Kyeong-hoon, who was struggling to climb up while breathing heavily.
Seeing him walking slowly in the distance, perhaps because of his uncomfortable knees, Lee Geon-wook shook his head.
‘Damn human being. ‘A sudden wind blew and we decided to go hiking.’
Choi Gyeong-hoon climbed to the top of the mountain very slowly and with all his might.
He also collapsed on the ground, wiping the sweat from his face with a towel around his neck.
“Oh my, oh my! I’m dying, just.”
Choi Gyeong-hoon, who drank half of the water he brought with him, stood at the top of the mountain.
Then, I looked down at the distant scenery below the summit.
“Hey, are you still alive?”
“Is it really possible that I will fall behind you with your injured leg?”
“That’s right. Cancer! It’s already been 30 years since we knew each other, right?”
“It was 30 years ago when I had the audacity to come to the store I run and make a fuss asking them to hand over their products.”
Lee Geon-wook recalled the distant past, and Choi Kyeong-hoon also nodded.
“You had the goods, and I had the courage to fight through the battlefield. We were lucky and both turned out well. If it weren’t for the turbulent times, we might have been in-laws.”
“Why isn’t it too late now? I’m talking about the daughter you hid.”
“We sent them to the same school with that intention, but didn’t they hate each other?”
“Is that so?”
Lee Geon-wook tilted his head as if he didn’t know.
On the other hand, Choi Gyeong-hoon, who took care of Choi Hye-na frugally, even remembered her childhood.
“And now he has a match that suits him well.”
“Is there someone you like? From which family?”
“Hehe, if my daughter likes it, that’s enough.”
Lee Geon-wook chuckled and shook his head.
“There is no need to pretend to be a saint in front of me. I know you well.”
“I know you well too.”
Choi Gyeong-hoon chuckled, then suddenly changed his expression and raised his voice.
“You know me so well, would you do something like that to me?”
Lee Geon-wook, who was taken aback by Choi Kyeong-hoon’s sudden anger, also frowned.
Kyung-Hoon Choi continued speaking with a serious expression.
“There is no need to pretend not to know. I already know everything.”
Lee Geon-wook quickly realized why he had been summoned and shook his head with a chuckle.
“The offer was made by you. I am not a saint enough to refuse such a thing.”
“Yes, you are a very bad person.”
“Isn’t it the same for you?”
“Can you do as much as you? Anyway, why are you buying up our shares?”
“It’s an investment.”
Kyung-Hoon Choi nodded.
“That’s right. Then now I guess I’ll have to make that investment too.”
“…Are we going to start a war?”
“Tsk tsk.”
As Lee Geon-wook’s voice began to rise, Choi Kyeong-hoon clicked his tongue.
“You have to carefully calculate the pros and cons. Who first proposed a strategic alliance between groups? Isn’t it true that the one who regrets it is the one who does it first?”
“So I was disappointed? I know that your company doesn’t have enough money to invest somewhere. So you should have raised your son well.”
Choi Kyung-hoon smiled brightly and held up a water bottle.
“Do you really think so? Do you think I share everything with my children? Chairman Lee, you’ve gotten older and you’ve lost your senses.”
Lee Geon-wook has already heard in detail about the financial situation of Hanyoung Group from Choi Kyeong-jun.
However, after listening to Choi Kyung-hoon’s confident words, I was worried for no reason.
“If you, like a bully, established a group by taking away the property of your brothers and relatives, I built a group by running through a hail of bullets on the battlefield and risking my life to make money. While you were comfortably making money by providing goods, “I tried my best to survive by carrying things around the battlefield. From then on, it became a habit to risk my life no matter what I did.”
Kyung-Hoon Choi said while glaring at Lee Kun-Wook.
“In the future, if there is a report that even one share of our group’s stock has fallen into your hands.”
It is no exaggeration to say that life-giving energy poured out of Choi Kyung-hoon’s eyes.
“You and your group will have to risk your lives to go to war with us.”
However, Lee Geon-wook is also a veteran who has experienced all the ups and downs of the world.
He calmly looked into Choi Kyung-hoon’s eyes and answered.
“You’re bluffing!”
“Let’s find out who owns J&S Investment Company, which is the majority shareholder of the provincial department store.”
“J&S?”
It was a foreign company that owned 12.1% of the shares of the city department store, one of the city and city group’s core businesses.
“Why is that… How do you know that company?”
Choi Kyung-hoon gulped down the water remaining in the water bottle.
Then he took a towel and wiped the sweat from his face.
“You may have seen the true value of the Hanyoung Group now, but I recognized your value 30 years ago. In fact, my investment started from then.”
Chairman Lee Kun-wook’s expression suddenly darkened.
“That’s the difference between you and me. You only knew how to take what belongs to others, and I knew how to take care of people. The Volkswagen incident will be dismissed as my fault for failing to educate my children. However, if you cross the line any further, you won’t be safe either.”
“…….”
Kyung-Hoon Choi grabbed the two sticks and stood up.
“How long are you going to sit there? Should you go down? It’s getting dark soon.”
