Genius Grandson of the Loan Shark King

I will do my best to help you.

The inauguration ceremony hall became as quiet as a mouse in an instant.

Im Hwa-soo and Chu Dong-bin's faces also turned serious, perhaps because they hadn't expected that he would use his speech to say that he would dismantle Cheonha Group.

I continued talking without paying any attention.

There was no reason not to do it since Im Hwa-su laid the groundwork for it.

"I created Cheonha Group, and I helped Cheonha Group come out into the open. However, it is also true that I didn't pay much attention to Cheonha Group after Dong-soo died. It was a company I created for him. However, if I don't follow his will, I have no reason to protect Cheonha Group anymore."

A hunting dog that has outlived its usefulness should be boiled and eaten. If you give affection to a hunting dog that is meant to be thrown away, it will not end well.

Park Dong-soo also initially intended to just use it and throw it away.

But as I ran towards revenge like that, my thoughts changed a lot.

In the end, Park Dong-soo passed away because of my revenge, and I left the Cheonha Group he left behind to Lee Sang-geun to continue Park Dong-soo's legacy.

Even then, many people shed blood.

Even after Yoo Seong-jin became the chairman after Lee Sang-geun, Cheonha Group had to walk a bloody path.

If Lee Sang-geun, who chose stability, had no choice but to shed blood, Yoo Seong-jin was not afraid to shed blood for the group's growth.

"There will be many who will be suspicious of you, asking who you are to destroy Cheonha Group. However, I am a person who can do it. If you are curious, I can show you right now. Aren't you curious about why Cheonha Group's headquarters building exists here in Seocho-dong, and why the prosecution and police, who have been chasing you for decades, no longer do so? If I say one word, the blades of the prosecution and police will be turned against Cheonha Group. Don't you believe me?"

The faces of the employees under the podium were all different.

Some people had faces that seemed to nod because they knew me, while others, not knowing me, did not hide their displeasure.

"Dong-su hyung always said to me while drinking. He said he wanted to live without being chased by the police or having to worry about the prosecution. That's why he created Cheonha Group. If you want to go back to the past, you can go back whenever you want. You will be responsible for everything that happens because of that."

I paused for a moment and looked at Im Hwa-su. After looking at his bewildered face, I turned my head again and looked down at the stage.

"Do you know why I am telling you this on this fine day? I am warning you not to become a full-bellied pig like Yang Woo-guk again. This time, I have only cleared out Yang Woo-guk and the executives who supported him, but next time, I plan to blow up the entire group. Do you understand?"

No one answered.

Now that Im Hwa-soo, standing next to me, was unable to do anything, no one could come forward and raise an objection to me.

I decided to stop the whip at this point. It was time to throw in the carrot.

"Instead, if you fulfill your duty, you will be greatly rewarded. So, please work with the newly inaugurated Chairman Im Hwa-soo to recreate the Cheonha Group that Dong-soo dreamed of. Then, I will do my best to help you so that you will never have to run away from the authorities again."

I'm going to go on and on. I'll end the story here.

"Chairman Im Hwa-su."

"Yes, sir."

"I think I've said everything I wanted to say."

As I stepped back, Im Hwa-soo politely accepted the microphone.

I sat a little further back with Chu Dong-bin.

Chu Dong-bin's expression was still stiff, as if he was still in a daze.

"Are you very surprised?"

Chu Dong-bin nodded and smiled awkwardly.

"A little bit. But you finished it well. I was a little worried because they are such ignorant and simple-minded people."

While Im Hwa-soo was giving his closing remarks, I spent time talking with Chu Dong-bin.

After the inauguration ceremony, the gathered employees began to leave, glancing in my direction.

After everyone left, Lee Sa-ja and Im Hwa-su came toward me.

Im Hwa-su introduced me to the original directors as well as the new directors one by one.

I greeted them, made eye contact and nodded.

After the meeting, I went up to the chairman's office with Im Hwa-soo, Chu Dong-bin, and Hyun Joo-sung, who was Im Hwa-soo's chief secretary.

"Sir, please sit over here."

Im Hwa-su offered me the seat of honor. I happily sat down and asked.

"How does it feel to be inaugurated as president?"

"Honestly, it's not bad. I didn't think I would get the chance. In fact, the reason I gathered my forces was to elect the vice chairman as chairman."

Although I already knew this from the report, it felt different when Im Hwa-soo said it himself.

Because it really meant that you would obey me.

"The Vice Chairman said he would stay by Chairman Yoo Seong-jin's side. Did you know that?"

At my words, Im Hwa-soo looked at Chu Dong-bin, who was sitting across from her, with a surprised expression.

Chu Dong-bin met his gaze indifferently.

"I had no idea. I just heard that he was retiring after helping me to carry out my duties as chairman stably."

"Where will I go when I retire, Chairman? I will wait by Chairman Yoo's side, helping him with prison sentences."

Chu Dong-bin spoke highly of Im Hwa-su.

"Vice Chairman, please speak comfortably."

"How can that be? Mr. Chairman, you are now the captain who must lead Cheonha Group."

"Still······. Please lower your voice in informal settings. It's uncomfortable."

Although Im Hwa-su earnestly requested, Chu Dong-bin simply shook his head firmly.

"Now you have to become a person worthy of being the chairman. If I respect the chairman first, the people who are still in the group will not look down on the chairman as their senior."

Lim Hwa-soo was a man who took over as chairman after leaving behind a generation.

Although Yang Woo-guk and the elders from several generations ago were all kicked out this time, there were still many people who were senior to the director level and Im Hwa-su.

"The moment you tell your seniors to speak comfortably, the chairman's authority disappears. Whether in private or in public, a boss is a boss. That's our rule."

I also shared Chu Dong-bin's opinion.

"That's right, Chairman Im Hwa-soo. As the Vice Chairman said, authority comes from words."

This was even more uncomfortable in Korea, where age is a major factor.

However, in order to get the strong gangsters who valued the hierarchy between seniors and juniors to listen, they had to speak louder first.

I opened my mouth looking at the fidgeting Im Hwa-su.

"This is the last chance I'm giving you. As I said in front of all the employees, the reason it ended like this is because I decided to trust Chairman Im Hwa-soo once more. So don't disappoint me. If the group is shaken again, then I will personally cut off your head. I will do it with all the strength I have."

When I gave him a cold warning, I saw Im Hwa-soo swallow his saliva.

"It will be very different from before. Director Ma here has decided to personally manage Cheonha Group."

Director Ma stepped forward. He only took a few steps, but Im Hwa-soo flinched.

"Chairman Im Hwa-su. Don't show your weak side in front of people."

Im Hwa-soo had already seen Director Ma's cruelty with his own eyes.

Besides, the men that Director Ma brought were also of a high level, so it would be difficult to stop them even with more people than before.

"······Of course. It won't happen again. Didn't all the directors watch? What happened to Director Yang Woo-guk and the elders?"

"Okay, then I will believe you."

Director Ma stepped back again. He smiled softly as he watched Im Hwa-soo consciously trying to relax his stiff body.

"Don't be so nervous. I just came to say hello today. But if you see me like this again next time, it won't be a good thing."

"Yes, sir. I will engrave that deeply in my heart."

The answer came right away. I nodded with satisfaction and pointed to the man sitting next to him.

"Is the person next to you your confidant?"

"Yes, that's right. As I mentioned earlier, he is my younger brother who will be my chief secretary."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hyun Joo-seong jumped up from his seat and bowed his head.

"Hello again. My name is Hyun Joo-seong! I've heard a lot about you, sir. Please take good care of me!"

Did you boil the train cauldron? A loud voice rang through the chairman's office.

As I nodded and greeted him, it was Hyun Joo-seong who sat down again.

"He's a friend who used to guide me. He may be a bit ignorant, but… his loyalty is unparalleled."

Judo? That reminded me of Park Hyun-seong.

I looked at Hyun Joo-seong, who was sitting down and observing the situation, and asked.

"Do you happen to know Park Hyeonseong?"

"Are you talking about Hyunseong? How did the boss treat Hyunseong······."

"I see. You are my friend."

Hyun Joo-seong, whose face turned pale, rolled his eyes.

Then he got up from his seat again and bowed his head.

"I'm sorry. I didn't even know you were the boss's close friend."

"Haha, don't be so nervous. I was just curious when you told me you did judo. He's my close friend. I really didn't think you'd know. It's okay. I just called you by your junior's name. What?"

"No. I will be careful."

He seems to be old-fashioned and accustomed to hierarchical relationships. I think I know what kind of person Hyun Joo-seong is.

"Okay, sit back down. I'm tall and my head hurts."

When I waved my hand to say it was okay, Hyun Joo-seong's face brightened a little.

Only then was I able to get back to the story I had told elsewhere.

"I don't know when, but Chairman Yoo Sung-jin will be released."

Chu Dong-bin and Im Hwa-soo's eyes widened at the same time.

In particular, Chu Dong-bin asked urgently, perhaps because he had briefly heard this story earlier.

"Sir, can you explain in more detail?"

"Chairman Yoo Sung-jin was arrested by former President Jiang Zemin, not by current President Hu Jintao, in order to attack Hu Jintao."

I told them in quite some detail about Yoo Sung-jin's current situation.

While listening to my explanation, Chu Dong-bin's face changed from moment to moment.

Sometimes I was angry, and sometimes I was relieved.

"······Hu Jintao, who returned safely, started a counterattack. And he agreed to help me negotiate the release of Chairman Yoo Seong-jin. I can't guarantee when that will be, but it will be sometime next year at the latest."

As soon as I finished speaking, Chu Dong-bin jumped up from his seat and bowed to me.

"Thank you. Thank you, boss. I will always consider you my benefactor."

The slightly trembling voice seemed to tell how touched Chu Dong-bin was.

"No. He was arrested for no reason because of me, but Chairman Yoo Seong-jin is also my person. Of course, he is someone I have to protect."

But unlike Chu Dong-bin, Im Hwa-soo was serious.

"Then what will happen when the Chairman returns?"

My and Chu Dong-bin's gaze turned to Im Hwa-soo.

"Of course, I should step down when Chairman Yoo Seong-jin comes. I didn't ask the question because I had other intentions."

At the same time, Im Hwa-soo waved his hands urgently and made an excuse, wondering if he had misunderstood something.

That action suddenly caused laughter.

"ha ha ha!"

He doesn't seem stupid. He's really a naive and loyal person.

After laughing for a long time, he finally managed to suppress his laughter and said:

"What are you misunderstanding? If that were true, the group would have been led by Vice Chairman Choo Dong-bin. Chairman Yoo Seong-jin has already decided to leave the group. Even if he is released, it is uncertain whether he will be able to enter China again."

Im Hwa-su was staring at me blankly with a blank expression.

"Even if he is released, it does not mean he is innocent. Cheonha Group must continue to conduct business with Black Dragon in China. However, Chairman Yoo Seong-jin cannot continue to lead the group while taking on risks."

"ah······."

Chu Dong-bin criticized Im Hwa-su with a serious face.

"Mr. Chairman. You are already the owner of Cheonha Group. Even if Chairman Yoo Seong-jin returns, that won't change."

"Oh, I understand, Vice Chairman."

"Don't show yourself like you do today in front of others. It doesn't suit you."

"Yes, Vice Chairman. I will keep that in mind."

This, oh. If we leave it like this, we'll keep having reflection meetings.

I clapped my hands lightly to focus their attention.

"Chairman Yoo Seong-jin, I will take care of it. So don't think about anything else and just focus on running Cheonha Group well."

"Yes, sir."

Both of them answered at the same time, and I stood up and said.

"Then let's finish talking while eating."

I led everyone to a restaurant near the office building.

< I will do my best to help you > End

< Still can't figure out the situation? >
