[005]Chaebol CEO’s birthday 2.
My brother and I, who were sitting in the back seat, remained very quiet until we arrived in Pyeongchang-dong.
I did it because I had a new feeling, and my brother didn’t even say anything because he was watching me.
The parents’ expressions became even darker at the silence of the two sons.
What on earth does Pyeongchang-dong mean to this family?
***
Land area: 1,100 pyeong
Four buildings.
2 floors above ground, 2 floors underground
Parking capacity: 50 cars.
A huge castle with a wall circumference of 380m.
This is the residence of Chairman Jin Yang-cheol, the founder and head of Sunyang Group.
The high walls and dense landscaping trees were reminiscent of Cheolongseong Fortress, which blocked the eyes of the outside world.
Two guards who were waiting at a small guard post next to the huge gate opened the door with a raised hand salute, and the car slid into the house.
The large garden that I had worked hard to pull out weeds was revealed, and many guests were already chatting in the garden, as if they were enjoying the early summer weather.
The main building in the center is white to match the green garden.
My family got out of the car and walked to the main building.
The guests showed a slight bow to our family, but there were only a few of them. Most of them glanced at us and then turned their heads as if ignoring us.
I tried to remember who they were by looking at them as best as I could, but they were people from a generation ago and the faces I remembered were from 30 years later, so I barely knew anyone.
I felt like I had been given the task of finding out which of them was the leader’s closest associate.
I entered the living room through the wide open front door.
My heart started pounding.
Our family is completely hated by the chairman.
What will happen?
Could it be that, like the guests in the garden, not a single person pays attention?
Could it be that he is treated as a complete outsider, like a sack of barley?
Eight people were already sitting on the sofa in the living room.
A hungry wolf and a fox.
These are my uncles, aunts, uncles, and uncles.
They are the embodiment of greed who wait for their father to die so that they can take over the delicious piece of meat called Sunyang.
Eldest son Jinyoung-gi
second son vibrator
Jin Sang-gi, the third son
And Jin Seo-yoon, the only daughter.
The youngest son and my father, Jin Yoongi, avoids their sharp gaze.
After a moment of awkward silence, my mother spoke.
“hello. “We’re here.”
When my mother’s waist went down to 90 degrees, I heard a sharp and nervous voice.
“Do you still have the habit from when you applied powder? Are you a star? Why do you always show up last?”
The main character of this voice is the old woman who was making rice cake with the young bastard in the fitting room of the department store.
Of course, I’m in my forties now, so it’s still acceptable, but I couldn’t help but burst into laughter because I was reminded of what it would be like 30 years later.
“Foot. “Giggle.”
My father, who was embarrassed, quickly strengthened the hand he was holding, but it was already too late.
“Smile? “Are you laughing now?”
The corners of his eyes rose with a venomous look on his face, and he jumped up from the sofa.
“hello. “My eldest mother.”
I stopped laughing and bowed my head in greeting.
“You just laughed, right? How dare you… . You’re speaking as an adult… .”
“Stop it, right? “What are you doing to your child?”
Jinyoung-gi, the uncle, scolded his wife, but it only made her angry.
From the way he was fussing, it looked like he was going to hit my head.
This is a total mess for a first meeting.
“Who is making loud noises in my house? “Where did you learn this from?”
Everyone’s eyes turned towards the source of the sound.
An old man standing on the stairs on this floor.
It was Chairman Jin Yang-cheol, the ruler of Sunyang Group and my grandfather.
Iron surface.
It is a nickname given to him because his face shows the steel-like mentality that makes him do what he insists on.
Some people said that he was iron-faced because his cold-heartedness was revealed in driving out his older brother and monopolizing the company.
No matter what the nickname is, I am someone who has never experienced it anyway. But the prince and princess froze when the king appeared.
A person who is even afraid of his children.
Of course, the source of that fear is the money he has.
The future that unfolds when you do not inherit that money. One’s share to be taken by another brother. Fear of not being able to maintain the status of a chaebol family.
All of these things are intertwined, making him fear his biological father.
Chairman Jin Yang-cheol slowly came down the stairs and stood in the middle of the living room.
I swallowed dry saliva.
How will the emperor react to my family?
I glanced at my parents out of the corner of my eye and saw that they were already extremely nervous.

Although he only bowed and greeted them without saying a word, Chairman Jin Yang-cheol only gave a cold look towards his youngest son and his wife.
When his eyes turned to his older brother, Sangjun, his eyes changed to look like he was looking at an insect.
Now it’s my turn.
Should we treat it like just another bug? or not… ?
I was so nervous that I opened my mouth in surprise at the president’s reaction.
“Oh my, my baby. How long has it been since this? “Where did you get the advice to come visit often?”
The iron face has disappeared and it is the expression of an ordinary, kind grandfather.
How did this happen?
Chairman Jin Yang-cheol is my parent who does not treat me as a child at all. But why does he show such a caring side to me?
Since my parents were not subject to group management, I have no idea about my relationship with the chairman.
How on earth should I react?
There was no time to think or judge.
The chairman had already hugged me and lifted me up.
“Now, I have something for my dog. Aren’t you curious?”
Damn, how does this situation work?
***
The place the chairman took me was a small room on this floor. Of course, it was a small room compared to the size of the house, but it was a room that was the size of an average small apartment.
There was a pony in the middle of the room.
Of course, it wasn’t a live horse. It had a stand and was mounted on a pole on top of the stand, looking somewhat like rodeo practice equipment.
Maybe when you hit the switch, that pony will shake. Supporting this speculation, wires were also seen coming out of the pedestal.
That wasn’t all.
Toys fill the room, this room must be for the grandchildren.
“How do you feel? That’s what you said, I’ve prepared this allotment for you. “Do you like it?”
Chairman Jin said as he put me down.
I’m not sure yet, but I think this old man likes me.
I tried to guess the old man’s feelings.
Even though you are an abandoned child, is there a finger that doesn’t hurt when bitten? Although he has a heart of steel, he also has the heart of a parent.
The feeling of regret will definitely remain. He pours out that small amount of regret on me. It’s impossible to pour it out on my older brother, Sangjun. Because there is no generosity in loving the person who gave up your child.
Plus my youngest grandson.
Am I giving myself indulgence by being nice to me?
It’s an important moment.
How great is the amount of affection the chairman has for me?
You have to estimate its size. I have to be silly to match that size and reveal my presence as much as necessary.
First test!
I pet the plastic horse.
And then he smiled calmly at Chairman Jin. It doesn’t suit me though.
“I like the real thing. grandfather.”
“what?”
“I like a real horse better than a plastic horse, and I like a real car that runs smoothly rather than a toy car over there. “I want to have a real boat that floats on the sea, not something you play with in the bathroom.”
You might be a little surprised.
No, I was very surprised.
Chairman Jin’s expression hardened.
This is a person who smiles when angry and does not show his emotions when surprised. Cheolmyeon hides his emotions well.
“It’s true… . “Dojun, our Dojun, know what real means?”
What answer should I give? No, what kind of answer do you want?
You should answer without hesitation. Like it was improvised. Like a child.
“yes.”
“What? that is?”
“Grandfather’s.”
His expression turns into a surprised one. I guess I couldn’t hide my emotions this time.
“The cars, boats, and televisions that my grandfather makes are all real. “I like those things.”
The adult translates the child’s words into adult language and listens.
The truth I expressed for the first time.
How did my grandfather take what I meant?
The surprised face became hard again.
“Hmm, Dojun.”
“yes. grandfather.”
“To get the real thing you said, you have to do a lot of very, very hard work. You can experience so many scary things that you could die. But if you like fake things, this won’t happen. “It’s just fun and enjoyable.”
Enough to die?
When I faced death, I was scared, but the injustice was even greater.
Isn’t it worth it to endure that much in order to have the true spirit of Sunyang Group?
My grandfather, who didn’t know what I was thinking, kept giving me advice.
“It takes a lot of training and learning to ride a real horse, drive a car, or go out on a rough sea on a boat.”
“You mean at school?”
“school? Yeah, that’s it for now.”
“Then what rank do I get to get a real horse?”
“what? “Uh-huh.”
Chairman Jin burst out in pleasant laughter.
What I was saying must have sounded like how much bonus you can get if you perform well.
“Because horses are very expensive animals… . Let’s see… . good night. If you complete all subjects in one year, I will buy you a present for your birthday next year. “How are you feeling?”
As expected, the obvious answer came back.
Well, all I want from a 10-year-old is to study hard.
It was a bit exaggerated, but I made a slightly absurd expression.
“why? You seem unsure. haha.”
Is my expression cute?
“No, it’s too easy. I thought you were going to say that I wouldn’t be allowed to receive a scholarship at least once until I graduated from school. In a year… “It’s really easy.”
Chairman Jin looked surprised again when he saw me smiling brightly.
I know that before I came into this body, Jin Do-jun was a quiet and ordinary child.
An ordinary child with brains, stamina, and character that can be found anywhere.
It was Jin Do-jun, but it would be surprising to see the youngest grandson, whom you haven’t seen in a long time, change so much.
“okay? I’m not looking forward to this extra money. I wonder if our Dojun will be allowed to come. haha.”
He held out his hand with a kind smile on his face.
“Come on, let’s go down. “I have to eat dinner and play with my cousins.”
I held my grandfather’s hand tightly.
