The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family Chapter 246

[246] 五日葬 4

“I only paid bribes to condolences belonging to the Prosecutor’s Office of the Ministry of Justice. I had a long chat with the two bank presidents.”

“The prosecution and the bank… not a good combination. Maybe it was a different story. Are you concerned about the prosecution?”

“yes. The words of my grandmother still haunt me. Isn’t the quickest way to kick me out is to catch my weakness?”

Oh Se-hyeon was locked in thought, and after a while, he opened his mouth.

“You just check. Even if the prosecution is targeting you, don’t act rashly. I’ll look everywhere, too.”

“I’m sorry for dragging in a retired person.”

“That’s why I didn’t come to Korea. Even the stale air makes my heart choke, but seeing you go home makes it even more suffocating.”

As he was about to leave the house, he said a little worried.

“It wasn’t just for you that I said I recognized you. It’s because you might be trying to catch Yoongi’s weakness.”

“Father?”

“okay. That’s why there are so many unclear things. If you want to catch the pod, you can catch it as much as you want. Since I know you’re afraid of your parents, they might use Yoongi as bait to blackmail you. I am more concerned about that.”

The moment I heard this, a spark flew in my head.

It wasn’t out of anger. Maybe it’s an opportunity for a reversal.

“uncle. Don’t say anything to your father now. Check everything…”

“Stop nagging. I’m still not stupid enough to nag you.”

After Oh Se-hyun left, I waited for Kim Yoon-seok.

It took quite a while because the amount was large.

At least five or six places seem to be turning.

While waiting for him, I remembered a movie I had seen in my previous life, ‘The Taste of Money’.

There was a secret space for storing money in the mansion of a conglomerate, and there was an enormous pile of money that could fill three or four containers.

How much I laughed and giggled watching the scene where he took the money every time he handed over a bribe

.

Even with the real-name financial system, chaebols keep their slush funds in banks, and no one keeps them inside their homes.

The financial sector is always on the side of the rich. No matter how tight the law is, it mobilizes expedients and evasions for the rich and moves according to their convenience. As always, financial services for the wealthy, especially chaebol-level customers, are beyond the scope of ordinary people’s thinking.

However, like in the movie, I thought it would be nice to have a space in the house that can store billions of dollars.

A secret space that is revealed when the bookshelf of the study is opened… It will be fun.

This useless imagination disappeared when deputy Kim Yoon-seok and several bodyguards entered with a box.

“Good job. I have work to do here, so go to Grandpa’s first.”

I let the people out and changed into a clean shirt to do the real work.

“Is it okay to empty the mortuary like this?”

Managing Director Woo Byeong-jun, who hurriedly ran over, said a little worriedly.

“Since there are so many offspring, just because I don’t see one of them doesn’t make it obvious. Seeing that the phone I’m looking for isn’t there yet.”

“It’s urgent enough to empty the mortuary.”

“yes.”

Woo Byung-jun, managing director, looked at the boxes stacked on one side of the living room and smiled slightly.

“My wife’s investigation is in the beginning stages, so I have nothing to report… Is that related?”

“yes. I need to make some deliveries today.”

Seeing my attitude, Director Woo seemed surprised.

“Are you going to go by yourself?”

“It should be. There are a few things I’ll tell you directly and confirm.”

“Who are you? Is there someone you should meet in person?”

“I am Kim Seok-hwi, chief of the Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office.”

As soon as Woo Byung-jun heard the name, he took out his cell phone.

“Seok-hwi Kim, Chief of the Seoul High Prosecutor’s Office. Please confirm your cell phone number and home address. It is urgent.”

I didn’t ask where they contacted me.

Isn’t it polite not to ask each other about their trade secrets?

A few minutes later, I heard a text notification.

“Should I contact you in advance?”

“It should be. Wouldn’t the prosecutor’s office be able to deliver bribes?”

“wait a minute.”

Woo Byung-jun took out his phone again.

“Come up with a phone. with a new one.”

cellphone? Is it a cannon?

“This is a cleanly washed cell phone. Please use it when you talk to these people in the future. The cell phone is in the manager’s name right now, right?”

“yes.”

“Use it for official business only. A phone call between the third generation of a conglomerate and the high prosecutor is suspicious to anyone.”

It’s so detailed.

Even if you don’t care about these things, you can take care of it without worrying about it, so this person’s ability seemed amazing.

When the bodyguard put down a cell phone, Woo Byeong-jun asked.

“How many are you going to take?”

“Two boxes are enough.”

At Woo’s glance, the bodyguard went down with the two boxes.

“I will be out for a while. End the call and let me know.”

I sat him down to get up.

“You are in charge of such a job, but why are you avoiding your seat because listening to the conversation is a big deal? Just sit down.”

“no. The less we know each other, the more comfortable the manager will be.”

It’s hard to figure out whether he’s thorough or stern.

After he left, I took a deep breath and dialed the high prosecutor’s office’s number.

– hello?

“Hello, High Prosecutor. This is Jin Do-jun.”

– who? Jin Do-jun? if…?

It is a voice full of doubt.

“yes. I hold hands with the deceased Chairman Jin Yang-cheol. And this is Jin Do-jun, who is in charge of Sunyang Financial Group.”

Suddenly, the voice changed.

― Oh, that’s right. I stopped by the mortuary today, but I couldn’t say hello.

huh?!

It’s hard to judge based on the voice over the phone, but there was no sign of embarrassment.

If the person you targeted today called you as if you knew everything, even the calmest of people wouldn’t have such a welcoming voice.

Am I wrong? Was it a simple conversation without targets or anything like that?

Not likely. Uncle fathers are not the kind of people who would spend a long time with a high prosecutor-level person just to say hello.

“no. I heard you saw your uncle. I apologize for not greeting the high prosecutor first.”

― Oh, say nothing. I heard that the president’s favor was great. You must be heartbroken, but there was no need to even call to say condolences.

The idea that I was not the target grew stronger. There is not the slightest hint of wariness in this man’s voice.

“You misunderstand, High Prosecutor. I didn’t call to say hello, I called because of the president’s teachings.”

– Yoo Hoon?

“yes. I would like to meet you and talk to you in person, could you please spare some time?”

It’s only natural to have doubts when asking to meet suddenly. There is no answer. It should be a little more comfortable.

“Ah, the financial group wasn’t all that my grandfather entrusted to me. He also entrusted the financial group with special tasks to do.”

― What is that…?

“I told you to take care of it ‘every quarter’ so that it doesn’t interfere with public affairs due to trivial personal

matters .

turned into a muffled voice.

– Oh, I see. Let’s stay… Then I’ll see you at the same place as usual in an hour.

is that place?

I hurriedly checked my note and it said parking lot. You can’t ask in the parking lot. We quickly changed places.

“I have to say hello, so how about a more comfortable place? I will tell you the place.”

― Is that so?

“Don’t forget that few people know about this, including my ‘family’.”

– Sure.

I informed him of the officetel in Yeouido and ended the call.

Now I have to check who the target he got from his uncle is.

* * *

“Nice to meet you. This is Jin Do-jun.”

Looking around the room, he lightly bowed his head toward High Prosecutor Kim Seok-hwi, who entered.

“Ah, maybe it’s because I’ve seen it on TV a couple of times, but it doesn’t feel like someone I’m seeing for the first time. haha.”

As soon as I saw him, I was sure. I am not a target.

Countless people’s faces flashed through my mind. Who do the uncles want to beat?

After a brief greeting, he asked. I guess he was curious too.

“Chairman’s teachings… am I right?”

“Perhaps. My grandfather chose a few people and told me to treat them like family. The two eldest fathers, who are vice presidents, said that they were lacking in meticulousness. Of course, group work is very busy.”

“This is also true, the president is a great person. Honestly, after the chairman left, I gave up on my thoughts.”

“Nothing will change. As always, I will make sure that housework does not affect public affairs. It’s just…”

Looking at him, he smiled.

“Please feel free to tell me, it’s okay.”

“I just want you to keep this a secret from the vice president. In fact, my grandfather entrusted me with this job for another reason.”

“Any other reason?”

“yes. The two vice presidents are people who are very concerned about efficiency. Well… my grandfather taught business management like that. So, they are the ones who will finish it with an appropriate reward only when you ask for help or something you need.”

High Prosecutor Kim Seok-hwi’s expression is not good. That means you only get paid when you do the work. And there are many prosecutors who can handle the job. In other words, it is because it is sufficiently predictable that it degenerates into an occasional tool.

“But take it easy on the division of roles. Just as we have divided the roles of group management now.”

After my explanation, the high prosecutor smiled.

It means that you know for sure who is the person you need more.

Someone who only gives money when needed.

The one who always gives money without fail.

Wouldn’t it only hurt your mouth to tell you who the string you shouldn’t miss?

“I can’t forget to say thank you for caring so much.”

“Well, I’m just doing what my grandfather gave me. There is no need to feel pressured.”

My position and role have been accurately informed, and all that remains is to confirm.

“By the way, High Prosecutor.”

“yes.”

“Please take care of the work my uncle asked me to do today. It is important to the group.”

You must choose your words carefully. I have to give them the feeling that I am in one with them and already know what the request is about.

I waited impatiently for his response.

“of course. The generational change is a major event that will determine the next 30 years.”

generational change?

When the grandfather split the stake, the generational shift was already over. who is left? Can’t those who are still in their seats change at any time?

“yes. Especially since my grandfather passed away, I can’t delay it any longer.”

The conversation went a step deeper as we quietly agreed.

“Even if it was a second person, since the president passed away, I should have resigned myself so as not to burden the remaining people. Isn’t that the human duty?”

Lee In-ja!

Only two people came to mind.

Son Hoon-jae, president of electronics, and Lee Hak-jae, chief of staff.

In the situation of Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki, he must quickly get rid of President Sohn Hoon-jae to secure control of the former, the main axis of the group.

However, the true second-in-command is Lee Hak-jae.

High Prosecutor Kim Seok-hwi is an outsider. From the outside, Lee In-jae is the only head of the department, Lee Hak-jae.
