[048]A family without choices 1.
The atmosphere at school was completely different. It was April, so spring was in full swing, but that wasn’t the reason.
As I walked from the school’s main gate to the classroom, I exchanged greetings with quite a few classmates and seniors, and there were also students who walked to the classroom with me.
There are many kids who talk to me first even in the classroom.
“Hey, Dojun. The laptop is a complete harpoon. It’s awesome. But I don’t study because I play with it. “Hehe.”
“That’s the hidden purpose. Throwing a toy at a competitor and making him unable to study.”
It is my job to ease their discomfort with these words.
“I don’t use a pen anymore because I use a laptop. “It’s all words.”
“Oh, that was the purpose too. If you write a report, give me the file. All you have to do is touch it lightly and submit it. “Hehe.”
He glanced around the classroom, making a meaningless joke.
Those who didn’t receive laptops because they didn’t attend the new student welcome party were getting stingy looks. I could see the expectation that the laptop would be thrown away one more time under those gazes.
I thought it would be good to spray it once more during the May festival.
And I also saw some of the notes.
After the lecture, during a short break, I approached the guy who dispensed coffee from the vending machine.
How did this guy turn down the temptation of 3 million won, more than twice the starting salary of a college graduate from Daehyun Group?
I put a 100 won bill into the vending machine and got some coffee.
“You said you didn’t take your laptop? “Did you forget?”
His face crumpled as he held the paper cup.
“f*ck, why? “Thank you for accepting it so quickly. Is that what you want to hear?”
I was waiting for something special to be said, but my expectations were in vain. The reason was obvious pride.
“Well, I didn’t really think about that?”
I guess he was more angry at me smiling and answering without changing my expression. More and more harsh words poured out.
“Even if you don’t brag about your money, I know you are a third-generation chaebol. But now, are we going to waste money even on college alumni?”
“Then do you refuse even if your senior buys you a 1,500 won bowl of rice from the cafeteria? “You’re bragging about money?”
I took out a 100 won coin from my pocket.
“Is it a waste of money for my classmate to give me a 100 won cup of coffee from a vending machine?”
“You bastard! “Is that the same as a laptop?”
“same.”
“what?”
It’s even a little cute to see young Nomu Shiki embarrassed. Well, if not now, when will you protect your pride?
If you go out into the world and get broken in one way and another, you will realize how cumbersome your pride is.
“For me it’s the same. You are one, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand! You can count like this, but I’m counting billions, billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions! Just think of these units. Anything under 100 million is just change.”
I threw the paper cup in my hand into the trash can.
“Laptop and vending machine coffee… . No difference. “For the third generation of chaebols.”
Looking at his red face, I thought it might have been too harsh, but when you step on it, you have to step on it with certainty. Don’t even look at me.
“If you see a 100 won bill lying on the street, you’ll quickly pick it up, right? You get a free cup of coffee? At times like that, you lose your pride, and you only gain pride when you pick up the 3 million won that fell in the student center? If that’s your pride, it’s really useless. it is not so?”
I turned around after seeing my distorted face.
Most of the other guys had the same reaction. It was a series of disappointments.
But there were also some useful ones.
“Hey, Jin Do-jun.”
The guy who looks at me and smiles. At first glance, his pitch-black face makes him look like a reserve soldier, as he clearly comes from a farming family in the countryside.
“You said it wasn’t a bribe, but it is a bribe, man.”
“Why is that a bribe?”
“Originally, bribes are paid in advance. Giving and receiving a favor is an additional gift of gratitude.”
“You’re not a public servant, and I didn’t ask you to do anything?”
“Do you always give a bribe right before asking for it? In many cases, it is sown years in advance. In a few years, I will be a public prosecutor at the Prosecutors’ Office, so it is a proper bribe. “Did you learn it from your grandfather?”
“no. I’m the youngest in my family, so my grandfather doesn’t teach me anything. “That kind of thing only happens to older cousins.”
“Then you are completely excluded from the cruise group?”
“I guess so. I don’t know if you know, but my father, the chairman’s youngest son, was also excluded early on. So you’re making a movie now.”
“So you’re a third-generation tycoon?”
When I just nodded without answering, the guy who looked like a military reservist took out a cigarette and asked.
“Nigimi. “I should have taken care of it.”
“Foot-.”
It was hard to hold back laughter. This guy, this is fun.
“hey! Can’t you give it to me now? late?”
A person who has no intention of receiving is holding out his hand for no reason. This is the type that doesn’t make enemies. It’s not for my age.
“Did you happen to be lucky enough to pass the exam?”
The guy who was laughing heartily stopped laughing and turned into a stern expression.
“Don’t give off the nuance that you look old. “It’s a disgusting thing to touch, that is.”
“If I give you the laptop, will you take a look at it?”
“next time. “This is my first time, so I’ll take a look.”
He put out his cigarette butt and went into the library, shouting at the back.
“Just answer and leave. “How old are you?”

“Who is Seo Min-young?”
“Hey, when did this guy who didn’t even bother going to school take pictures again?”
“What do you mean?”
“What do you mean? It’s rare to see a kid like that. “Didn’t you ask because you heard a rumor that she was pretty?”

What they say about being pretty is not trustworthy. This is because they only study, so they have a poor view of women and have very low standards for what makes them pretty.
“Don’t talk nonsense. who is this?”
“wait. “If the commotion in the classroom suddenly disappears, that person has appeared.”
Within a few minutes, it turned out that what he said was true.
When Seo Min-young appeared, like a lie, not a single breath could be heard in the classroom and all eyes were on Seo Min-young.
Is it pretty?
At that level, she deserves all the attention of men. My flaw was that I was a little short, but my bare face without any makeup was enough for my father to think about casting me.
“how is it? “Am I right?”
“You have high eyesight.”
“You don’t touch that kid. We, the common people, should also have opportunities. If you’re a third-generation chaebol, you can date celebrities. Mark my words carefully. “If you date that girl, you will turn all the boys in our school into enemies.”
“Stop worrying. An actress comes by our house every day. My eyes are high. But I don’t think I saw that kid at the welcome party?”
“I just flashed my face and left quickly. You went crazy when you were running your laptop. Then she disappeared quietly.”
I waited until the lecture was over and stood in front of Seo Min-young, who was leaving the school.
He was a little surprised by my sudden appearance, but soon calmed down.
“what? “Do you have business for me?”
Looking at their expressions, it seems like they know who I am.
“huh. Just one simple question. “You didn’t bring the laptop I gave you to the new student welcome party. Can I ask why?”
Seo Min-young laughed and said something strange.
“Do you know how to drive an airplane?”
“what?”
“Do you know how to fly an airplane?”
“Of course I can’t.”
“Then it’s useless to give me a plane, right?”
“Stop playing with words, what do you want to say?”
“The kid who got that high CSAT score doesn’t care.”
Seeing that he didn’t stop smiling, it was clear that he didn’t reject me out of pride or because he was offended.
“I am illiterate.”
“huh?”
“It’s like an airplane to me. “What are you doing by receiving something you can’t even use?”
I didn’t even think of this reason. She was dumbfounded and just looked at Seo Min-young’s face and couldn’t think of anything to say in response.
At this time, another unexpected word came out of her mouth.
“Don’t look at me like that. “My heart is pounding.”

Due to the continued bankruptcy of large corporations, the study was full of meetings every day.
Today, after finishing the marathon meeting, Chairman Jin was about to rest his head on his chair when the intercom rang, as if waiting for the meeting to end.
– President. Seocho-dong CEO Yoon is waiting for you.
“Oh, I’m leaving now.”
Chairman Jin went out to the living room at a pace that made him feel like he was flying.
“President Yoon. You waited a long time, right? “I forgot.”
“No, Chairman. “He is the busiest person in our country, so it’s natural to have to wait.”
The person waiting for Chairman Jin in the living room was a middle-aged woman who looked like the principal of a girls’ high school.
“So, did you find anyone useful?”
The woman called President Yoon took out three files from her briefcase and laid them out in front of Chairman Jin.
“I paid special attention. He will be the captain of the Sunyang Group in the future… .”
“Uh-huh! That mouth!”
“Oh my, I am the one in charge. sorry. President.”
President Yoon hurriedly lowered his head and opened the first file.
“I am the youngest daughter of the president of Daeil Bank. “She is twenty-seven, graduated from Princeton, and is currently working at Boston Bank’s Hong Kong branch.”
I also opened the second file.
“I am the eldest granddaughter of the Chairman of Hansung Ilbo. I’m twenty-six… … .”
After the three women were introduced, Chairman Jin nodded.
“Good. “Try to catch me.”
“Who are you talking about…?” ?”
“Just look at all three. why? no?”
“Oh, no. We will prepare it as soon as possible. By the way, Chairman.”
“know. “Don’t worry, I’ll tell you to watch your mouth so it doesn’t come out that you’ve been watching it in succession like you’re shopping.”
President Yoon took out another file from his bag with a bright expression.
“President. I had a really hard time finding this one. They are so young that they still have chubby breasts… .”
“Uh huh, I’m going to kill you! “I’ll give you a lot of money for selling out, so don’t talk nonsense.”
Madame Tu’s mouth was torn open, as if she wanted to hear the sound of giving a large sum of money.
“I am the only daughter of the person who was recently appointed to the Constitutional Court.”
“Constitutional judge? “So, you’re not a judge?”
“I come from a family of judges. Do you know the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court who passed away last year? “She’s his granddaughter.”
“Ah, that guy! “I’m the daughter of that family who says she won’t become a lawyer after her term as judge ends.”
“yes. It is said that the place where the family gathers is the Supreme Court and the Prosecutor’s Office. “It can be said that he is a respected member of the legal profession.”
“I know very well that it’s from a distant family. “How’s the kid?”
“It is truly a gemstone. “It would be hard to find someone like this.”
Chairman Jin, annoyed by the excessive praise for the woman, screamed.
“Is it comparable to our child? He’s a kid with nationally ranked scores. I’m a law student at Seoul National University. Also, what about the characters? Who is that handsome guy who is popular these days? page… .”
“Jang Dong-gun?”
“okay. “Don’t you think his facial features are comparable to that of that guy?”
“I know. So I looked for someone I wouldn’t miss. “This kid also entered Seoul National University’s law school.”
“what? then… ?”
“yes. It’s the same class. “It can be done very naturally.”
“hmm… … .”
It’s not bad. No, it’s pretty good. They come from a family of seniors in the legal profession and are respected socially. Although he does not practice law, he has taught at universities and served in cabinet positions such as the Minister of Justice.
Did they also produce a prime minister?
“But isn’t it a bit uncomfortable to ask you to confront him when you are young?”
“Hey, Chairman. Young successors these days are just sick of things being presented in places like hotel coffee shops.”
“then?”
“My role is to naturally familiarize ourselves with each other. We will meet so smoothly that you won’t even notice that we are showing you. “It’s like a real relationship.”
“Oh my.”
“If the Chairman gives permission, I will proceed. How do you feel?”
“Do you think about the family over there?”
“of course. Who would refuse the position of daughter-in-law of the Dasunyang family?”
“Good. Let’s proceed.”
When the chairman gave permission, President Yoon stood up with a wide smile. And he mustered up the courage to open his mouth.
“By the way, Chairman. “There are many grandchildren who are already married, so why don’t you take care of the youngest first?”
“It’s the big kids, their parents will take care of them. Shouldn’t we die to see our youngest get married? That’s why he’s in a hurry.”
President Yoon, the go-between, didn’t think that was necessarily the reason. I had a feeling that something strange might happen to the grandson, who was especially loved by the chairman.
