The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family Chapter 169

[169] Independence 2

“Sorry.”

“Because it’s okay. Quitting the company is not your only responsibility. I told you to be careful, what should I do? They said it was because everyone noticed.”

It’s not just the mother who notices because she doesn’t know what it’s about.

I blinked as I looked at the two faces alternately.

“Oh no big deal.”

It wasn’t a big deal, but the content was a little funny.

Anyway, I have no interest in my father’s media company, so my father naturally attracted Sang-joon.

Phi, who is interested in music and loves art, decided that Sang-jun hyung was better. Isn’t this a tough place in its own way?

His father, who thought that learning from the bottom up was the norm, instructed Sang-jun to roll hard, but no one followed his instructions.

Instead of learning the job, everyone just noticed and treated me like a prince, so I just walked around like a spectator all day before leaving work.

Only those who have been placed on standby know how painful it is to pass through the day without being able to go to work.

Seeing Sang-jun hyung still unable to raise his head makes me uncomfortable.

How desperate would you have been when you realized you had no talent while studying your favorite music? How miserable must it have been when I went to work and ended the day in a daze?

It sounds like a blessing to ordinary people, but everyone’s situation is the hardest.

Seeing the dead brother’s face made me sad.

“Father mother. I’m going to talk to my brother for a while. Are you okay?”

Surprised, I glanced at my older brother who raised his head and moved to a table in the corner.

“brother. How about something like this?”

“what?”

“Singer agencies are the trend these days. Did you know that SM Entertainment went public?”

“Did you invest there?”

Sang-jun hyung asked with wide eyes.

“no. Enterju doesn’t answer. size is also small. That’s where people from that lineage invest. It won’t be appreciated until about 10 years from now.”

A world where celebrities act like nobles. The job every teenager dreams of. It is not strange for a fake girl group to perform at a college festival with only their sexiness.

A world where the profession of celebrity is handed down from generation to generation, and the word celebrity second generation is natural, like the second generation of a chaebol.

By the time such a world comes, entertainment stocks will skyrocket. Not yet.

“That is not what I want to say. Would you like to try that too?”

“A planner? I? There’s no way.”

Seeing my older brother shaking his head, I wanted to slap him in the back of the head, but I held back.

“You like music. Of course, just because I like it doesn’t mean I’m good at it, but wouldn’t music be better than my father’s videos?”

“Do-joon. Thank you for caring, but not everyone does that. First of all, I don’t know anything about management. Discovering new talent, educating them… Making them debut on TV… Impossible.”

This answer was even a little odd.

I might have stopped if I had said that a guy with no ability was an idiot and started.

“learn.”

“what?”

“You have to learn the job. Did you really think I would start a company?”

“That… that’s not it…”

“Hyung, take your pick. where you want to work. A small place that has not yet succeeded and has few singers. But, from my brother’s point of view, it’s a company that shows potential. Get a job there.”

“So, pick a company first?”

“I really work hard and learn. I drive a singer’s car and run errands for sanitary napkins. Even a joint with a bad-tempered idol is bad. That’s how it starts.”

“…….”

“Don’t sell your family, just get a job in your name. There are also specs from studying abroad. Hyung, at least your salary is okay, right? Get a job even if you hang on.”

Is there really such a desire?

But if you’re complacent about skipping the floor, it’s better to live unemployed for the rest of your life. Living expenses and pocket money are sufficient.

“Then tell me when you feel confident. I’ll set up a company. Show me only your confidence and ability to grow bigger than SM. Then, no matter how much money it costs, I will invest in him. how is it?”

“I will think about it.”

Is this kid kidding?

Are you trying to imitate the 3rd generation chaebol who hates hardships and only wants success?

Seeing my distorted expression, Sang-joon hurriedly opened his mouth.

“hey! I’m not trying to think about it because it’s tight. I’m learning a job, but I have to do that. But I want to start thinking about whether I can grow an entertainment company or whether I can become a vessel to manage. You shouldn’t be foolish enough to blow away the money your sister gave you, not your parents’ money.”

Oh my, I never thought I would even make such a wonderful sound!

“Don’t think about it.”

“what?”

“For now, just learn. The more you learn, the more confident you will become, and the more you will develop your abilities. It’s more stupid to make a decision based on your thoughts without knowing the field. it is not so?”

Sang-jun hyung, who couldn’t respond to my words, opened his mouth after a moment of silence.

“Don’t tell your father. Then somewhere else the word leaks out. I don’t want to hear that I am someone’s son, someone’s grandson. I can’t even get in.”

“okay. Let’s keep it a secret between you and me. okay?”

No matter how many times you fail, you have to support them as a family.

I should invest a few billion won in the company Sang-jun hyung chose and ask him to learn how to work properly.

You really can’t lose a few years of being a road manager, can you?

“How are you feeling? At the age of 24, affiliates… How many do you have? More than ten?”

“9 HW Group and 4 Sunyang Financial Companies. I’m confused as to how many subsidiaries it has as well as the flagship.”

“What? Aren’t you pretending too much? Hehe.”

Back home, my father and I drank a glass of beer together.

“Grandpa and Uncle Sehyeon are like that too… They were ghosts when they split up companies and put them here and there. To be honest, I can’t even afford to care about subsidiaries.”

“Pretending to be proud again. hey! I also have a lot of companies. But even a small production studio is taken care of and managed. You should care.”

“father.”

I smiled softly and called my father.

“why?”

“Aren’t there different sizes? No. 1 life insurance company in Korea Automaker with a 32% market share in Korea. Construction company ranked 6th in the contracting ranking. Shall I say more?”

“done. The child… pretending to be proud until the end hehehe.”

Whether he inherited it or used an expedient, his father could not hide his pride that his young son had built a huge corporation.

However, clothes that don’t fit the body can cause stains, and father’s laughter left a strange aftertaste.

“What about your uncles? Have you ever contacted me?”

“Not yet…. Maybe I’ll contact my father? They will think that they can control both Miracle and me as the major shareholder.”

“It could be. What can I do?”

“I think you can just say that you won’t get involved until I finish my studies.”

“huh? study? What do you mean? Are you graduating in February next year? There are two months left, what will happen in the meantime?”

“no. I am thinking of going to graduate school.”

My father said with a puzzled expression.

“What about graduate school for a guy who didn’t go to school well? why? Are you thinking of studying business administration or economics? Or even accounting?”

“It’s not like that.”

I looked into my father’s eyes and spoke cautiously.

“Grandpa’s age is not easy. After graduating, there will be a warrant right away and I have to go to the army, but what if something bad happens to my grandfather in the meantime? While I am alive, I want to postpone the military service and stay by your side.”

“army?”

The father’s face changed to a more absurd expression.

“Are you going to the army? The group should have taken action…?”

“yes? What action?”

“Wait a minute.”

Dad took out his cell phone.

“Oh brother, I’m Yoongi. yes yes. How are you?”

My father called someone and exchanged casual greetings for a long time.

“I have a question for you. How did our Do-joon’s military affairs go? yes. yes. Ah… that accident then? Yeah… that’s right. oh no I can’t get in touch yes yes. I get it anyway. Thank you. older brother. See you once a day. A glass of soju… ha ha ha.”

After the phone call, my father smiled.

“So it is. I forgot to contact you.”

“Who were you talking to?”

“huh? ah…! Mr. Hakjae Lee. I wondered what was going on with your military affairs…”

No way?

I thought it was a bit strange. Not to mention Sang-jun hyung, none of his cousins went to the army. Even when I tried to remember, there was no defense, so it was clear that they were all exempted.

Of course, I thought it was an exemption, but I didn’t know because I hadn’t graduated yet and hadn’t taken a leave of absence. I just assumed that if there was a warrant, we would deal with it.

Moreover, since the best way to keep my grandfather and me apart is for me to go to the army, I was worried that my uncles would play a joke on me.

Graduate school was a trick to prepare for the odds….

“You got an exemption. you said it was easy When I was in a big car accident in the past, I cut off the medical certificate and took care of it… So there is no need to go to graduate school to delay getting a warrant.”

“okay.”

He nodded his head as if nothing had happened.

“Even if it’s not a military issue, do you have any plans to study more? Would you like to go study abroad?”

“no. Studying is for one of the two, whether it’s for success or for the sake of studying itself. I succeeded and I don’t want to study.”

“Then again! What can I do? When my older brothers tease me?”

“You say you’ll wait and see for a while.”

“Is that right now?”

“yes.”

Dad emptied the rest of his beer.

“okay. Talk to me anytime if you need anything.”

“I will. You really have Sang-joon, right?”

“huh? Sang-jun?”

“yes. I said I would try to do it alone, so don’t look for a job for the time being and leave it alone. My brother is also an adult.”

My father, who was looking at me blankly, tapped me on the shoulder.

“I must have saved the country three or four times in my previous life. To have such a son of fortune. Okay, don’t pretend you don’t know.”

I just smiled at my father without saying anything.

The father did not save the country, but had a son who was unfairly killed in his previous life. Thanks to that, my father was lucky.

With the World Cup just around the corner, the Korean national soccer team dropped to the bottom, recording a record of third place in the Asian Cup after being eliminated from the group stage of the Sydney Olympics.

Finally, coach Huh Jung-moo was kicked out, and Guus Hiddink, who had defeated Korea 5-0 in the group stage of the 1998 World Cup in France, was officially inaugurated on January 1, 2001 as the coach of the Korean national football team.

“Do you like soccer?”

“It’s normal. The level of just watching the national team game? That’s all.”

Executive Director Jang Do-hyung showed interest while watching Coach Hiddink’s inauguration ceremony, but when he found out the results, is there anything less interesting than sports?

It’s more than a movie spoiler if you put it in the middle of the day.

When I didn’t show much interest, Jang Do-hyung changed the topic.

“It’s New Year’s Day. You’re at home. Why are you here?”

“I think the executives will come to say hello.”

“You can take it.”

“Oh, that is very inconvenient. It would be difficult to say hello to someone who is like a child, but it is even more difficult to be greeted by people who are the same age as my father.”

“Then, aren’t you comfortable because I’m not your father’s age? Why did you ask to see me on New Year’s Day?”

“It’s to empower the executive.”

“yes?”

“Go to work tomorrow and sneak a peek. On the first day of the new year, he met alone with me.”

“ah…!”

When he understood the meaning of empowerment, Executive Director Jang showed a slight smile. It seems that he thinks that what he wants is the first step of a new real life.
