– Elderly man. I just can’t do it.
– Oh, please! Elderly!
Youngjun Choi closed his eyes in the backseat of the car and quietly recalled the past.
I think it was around the age of 10.
All my brothers hated the person who would become their stepmother.
However, Choi Young-jun did not have many memories with his biological mother, who had been hospitalized for a long time due to a chronic illness.
I really liked my stepmom.
I dressed him up, made him delicious snacks, and did difficult homework with him.
In order to eat the food my stepmom cooked, I couldn’t even eat the snacks I loved so much.
However, I heard that my stepmother died after giving birth to my younger brother.
The boy ran outside crying profusely, wandered alone for a while, and eventually arrived at the hospital.
Without even realizing that his disappearance had turned his family upside down.
I snuck into the neonatal room to watch my younger brother squirming.
When I saw my younger brother sleeping, wriggling his small hand, which was barely the size of a finger, the tears that had been pouring down fell by themselves.
‘Treasure left behind by my stepmother.’
But that sentiment did not last long.
Someone came in, and Youngjun Choi hid himself.
The tall man hesitated for a moment, putting his hands on the bed where his younger brother was lying, and then ran outside.
– Elderly man. I just can’t do it!
– Oh, please! Elderly!
Hearing the man’s scream, Youngjun Choi vaguely realized what he was trying to do to his younger brother.
And it didn’t take long for him to recognize that his memories were true.
Youngjun Choi opened his eyes.
‘It was when I found out that that man was CEO Yoo Ji-hoon… A time when I was wandering. ‘I always misunderstood that his father made him do the work.’
The car was heading home along a quiet night road.
“Manager. Im here.”
Hearing the words of his assistant, Han Min-gwan, Choi Young-jun woke up from his thoughts.
“thank you for your effort. “Quickly go in and rest and go to work tomorrow afternoon.”
“Oh, it’s okay.”
“Do by that way. “It’s been a while since I’ve driven a car myself, so I was worried that it might get rusty.”
“still···.”
“I heard your son went to the hospital? “How happy would he be if his father was by his side and reassuring him?”
Han Min-kwan’s eyes fluttered for a moment.
It seemed like he had heard the phone call he had secretly received earlier.
“…Then, I will do so.”
“is it so. thank you for your effort.”
Han Min-gwan drove the car and disappeared, and Choi Young-jun went into the house.
Lee Yu-jin, dressed in pajamas, welcomed Choi Young-jun at the entrance.
“thank you for your effort.”
“If you’re tired, sleep first.”
“How are you doing that?”
Lee Yu-jin, the wife who helped me end my life as an idiot.
Before getting married, Youngjun Choi told her most things.
She quietly listened to her long-standing worries and answered like this.
– In my opinion, your father is not that kind of person. I heard that after your stepmother passed away, she came home every day? I heard she was so devoted to Lady Hye-na. That’s definitely not the person.
“What about the children?”
“I’m already asleep. “The two of us have been riding bikes for two hours at a time these days.”
“Haha, guys. There is already competition.”
“As Sang-yeop is trying hard to defeat Dong-yeop, Dong-yeop is also trying hard not to lose.”
“You two don’t just fight?”
“Maybe it’s because he looks like you, but he has a kind heart, so he doesn’t fight.”
Youngjun Choi lightly held Yujin Lee in his arms.
“thank you.”
Lee Yu-jin’s cheeks turned red at Choi Young-jun’s words, which were followed by a sudden hug.
“Why is this happening all of a sudden?”
“Because I like it.”
“···Are you okay today? How are you two?”
“huh. They fit together very well. “My eldest brother was a little opposed to it, but I don’t think there will be any major problems.”
“thank god. “He’s someone she really likes.”
“okay. I know.”
“I got some water, so wash it quickly.”
“already?”
“sure.”
Leaving Lee Yu-jin’s warm smile behind, Choi Young-jun went into the bathroom and soaked in the bathtub.
– Compete wisely.
‘wise.’
Choi Kyung-jun already has 60% influence within the group.
And Choi Oh-jun, who has 30% influence.

Although it is said to be a meritocracy, my father was not a person to be singled out as a successor simply because of his outstanding personal ability.
After handing over the group, the basic condition was that there should be no disruption.
The opponents that Choi Young-jun had to compete with right now were Choi Gyeong-jun and Choi Oh-jun.
Not Kim Cheol-soo.
‘compete.’
However, Choi Kyung-hoon had the highest regard for Kim Cheol-soo’s abilities.
What he meant was that you should compete with him and improve your skills at any time.
And, the treasure left behind by my stepmother.
Kim Cheol-su was the person who would become Choi Hye-na’s husband.
I had no desire to fight with him at all.
Youngjun Choi opened his eyes, feeling his tired body being relieved by the well-adjusted water temperature.
‘Like Dong-yeop and Sang-yeop. ‘I want to compete with Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo like that.’
**
Early December.
“The wedding is already next week.”
“Yes, it is. President.”
Chief Secretary Baek Jun-seok nodded and answered Choi Kyeong-hoon’s words.
“Isn’t it time to let the media know?”
“I don’t think the old man will like it.”
“Well, I’m not putting it on the family register, so I’m not breaking my promise. I think there is a need to properly disclose this to the media before it causes further misunderstanding. “What do you think?”
Baek Jun-seok, who was thinking quietly, opened his mouth.
“I don’t think it will be a big problem as long as you keep your promise. As the Chairman said, spreading rumors is also not a good thing.”
“Hahaha, as expected. “Chief Baek knows what I mean?”
As Choi Kyung-hoon laughed heartily, Baek Jun-seok also nodded.
“In that case, I will release it appropriately to the media.”
“huh. Kim Cheol-soo, please make sure that guy is as comfortable as possible.”
“All right. President.”
Although he was Cho Young-hwan’s man, Baek Jun-seok handled his work flawlessly.
That’s why he was Choi Kyung-hoon’s favorite person.
Choi Gyeong-hoon, who had been thinking that it would be nice to go fishing with Baek Jun-seok after retirement, suddenly remembered a memory.
“Is it today? “What day is President Yu transferring out?”
“yes. That’s right. President.”
“We should at least go and shake hands.”
“It won’t look good. “President Yu may not be very pleased either.”
“yes? “I guess I should just stay still, right?”
“yes. President. “He is being transferred because of corruption, and it doesn’t look good to other employees either.”
Choi Kyung-hoon nodded, got up from his desk, put his back on his back, and looked down at the building through the window.
“You prepared well, right?”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“If President Yoo is transferred, Vice President Shin Byeong-hoon will act as interim president, and after the regular personnel appointments end in March next year, Executive Director Choi Young-jun will be able to serve as president.”
“yes. “Everything is ready.”
“Don’t you have any greed as the boss?”
Baek Jun-seok shook his head at those words.
“I am just satisfied with assisting the chairman.”
“The problem is that people really don’t have greed.”
“Thank you for the compliment. President.”
“ha ha ha.”
Choi Kyung-hoon burst into laughter.
“When you retire, won’t you go fishing with me?”
“It’s an honor, Chairman.”
**
Yoo Ji-hoon packed the luggage from the president’s office into a box.
After looking around, I finally put a nameplate that said
– smart.
“yes.”
“president. Executive Director Youngjun Choi came to visit.”
In response to the secretary’s report, Yoo Ji-hoon moved the box on the table to under the desk.
“Ask them to come in.”
“yes. president.”
I will support you
Yoo Ji-hoon’s office.
Although he wanted to hear directly from his mouth who the old man was, Youngjun Choi was unable to tell the story directly.
I had a rough guess as to who it was, but I wasn’t sure if I would be able to accept the shock of hearing it in person.
Therefore, the conversation was being concluded in a superficial manner.
“I ended up losing in a long fight.”
“You lost? “I’ve done nothing and I’m just confused.”
Yoo Ji-hoon lightly stroked the armrest of the sofa he had been using for a long time with his hand.
I used many sofas while visiting various affiliates, but this was the sofa that I remembered the most.
Today, Hanyoung General Trading Company has grown more than five times since Yoo Ji-hoon first took office.
The conversations I had with people from all walks of life while sitting on this sofa passed by like a flash of light.
“Director Junhyung Park.”
Naturally, Choi Young-jun always felt hostility and competition when dealing with Yoo Ji-hoon.
“Do you think I used Managing Director Park Jun-hyung to hit President Yoo?”
Yoo Ji-hoon only smiled at Choi Young-jun’s aggressive question.
Although he knew the whole story of this incident, he did not answer Choi Young-jun’s questions.
“When you become the president of Hanyoung General Trading, the first thing you have to do is take control of the people. “Only then will the organization be able to run without major shocks, and only then will the current growth momentum be able to continue.”
“···.”
“Among the talents under Executive Director Choi, Executive Director Park Jun-hyung would be the best. “If you elevate his position and give him more authority, he will be able to carry out his duties easily on his own.”
Choi Young-jun responded to Yu Ji-hoon’s sincere advice with a slightly shocked expression.
“···Thank you for the advice.”
Perhaps due to stress, Yoo Ji-hoon’s hair went from gray to almost gray in a short period of time.
“I have a question.”
He looked at Choi Youngjun and smiled calmly.
“Four years ago, you could have been the president of a smaller affiliate rather than the executive director of this place. “Is there any other reason why you chose Hanyoung General Trading Company?”
Youngjun Choi quietly looked at Yu Jihoon in front of him.
There was only one reason I came here.
I wanted to take it down with my own hands.
A character from a nightmare that had tormented him for a long time.
However, Choi Young-jun swallowed his words as he looked at Yoo Ji-hoon, who looked noticeably older than when he first saw him.
“It was to learn from President Yoo Ji-hoon, who was the best talent in Hanyoung Group at the time.”
“So did you learn a lot?”
“It’s still not enough.”
Yoo Ji-hoon burst into laughter lightly.
“Regardless of the power dynamics, my personal wish is that Executive Director Choi Young-jun will inherit this group. Because he has character, qualities, and abilities.”
“···.”
“I’m saying there’s no need to be so humble.”
Choi Youngjun looked at Yu Jihoon with strange eyes.
“We made a lot of bets. We also exchanged wins and losses. “The winner has not been decided yet.”
Yoo Ji-hoon smiled and continued speaking.
“I will come back anytime. So you better be doing well before I come back and eat you up.”
Choi Young-jun also smiled slightly and responded to Yoo Ji-hoon’s confident words.
“When that time comes, you’ll probably think it’s not that easy.”
“Hahaha, I’ll look forward to it. “Let’s put an end to our long game.”
“What should I do?”
“What else do you need? “The winner will survive.”
Youngjun Choi nodded slightly.
But Yoo Ji-hoon knew it well.
The fact that there is no coming back.
The reason Choi Kyung-hoon kept himself alive was for one reason: to do what he had to do.
It was clear that once that was over, I would retire in some form.
However, the desire to survive is an instinct.
Yoo Ji-hoon was now trying to step on Choi Young-jun.
Youngjun Choi tries to embrace everything like Buddha.
It seemed like if he became chairman, he would be able to embrace his retirement.
So, I kissed Junhyung Park.
Introducing Park Jun-hyung to Choi Oh-jun was part of that plan.
They chatted for a few minutes, and Choi Young-jun kept the words he wanted to ask in his heart and never said them.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“thank you.”
In response to Choi Young-jun’s handshake, Yoo Ji-hoon took the hand with a calm expression.
“And there is something the Chairman told me to tell you.”
Yoo Ji-hoon quietly looked at Choi Young-jun’s mouth.
“
