Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 49
11. Cheolongseong (鐵甕城) (1)
Go Chang-beom’s work.
For Kim Hyun-seong, this was quite unexpected.
The intention of this plan was to solidify the company’s position within Myungjin Construction by clearly appealing to Chairman Ko Myung-jin’s bloodline. However, I got results that exceeded my expectations. I knew that the Gangnam disaster would highlight Go Chang-beom’s achievements, but I didn’t know that it would give birth to a new future like Oh Jong-hyuk.
It was a butterfly effect.
He proved that the new future will not proceed as planned.
‘I shouldn’t believe that the future I remember is necessarily right. In an interview with a media outlet, Chairman Ko Myung-jin clearly cited craftsmanship in his decision to re-build, but in reality, he was confident that he would not incur any losses in the first place. Of course, if there wasn’t a spirit of craftsmanship, we wouldn’t have considered re-construction, but there is a clear difference between what appears on the surface and the truth behind it.’
Construction of 5,000 households.
From Kim Hyun-seong’s memory, this is something that will happen in the future.
According to the superficial facts, I heard that Myungjin Construction gained fame through this incident and achieved the feat of winning the construction project. Some might ask, what’s different? Either they gained the trust of Daesan City by responding with re-construction, or they made the decision to re-construct in order to secure the construction contract. Aren’t the results the same?
But the process was also different.
While the former required a bold decision, the latter was actually a problem that could be decided by just tapping on a calculator.
And a little while ago.
I received a text message from Go Chang-beom regarding his inauguration as managing director.
‘Fortunately, not knowing the truth was to our advantage. If he had made the decision knowing about the construction of 5,000 households, Ko Chang-beom’s achievements would have been undervalued, but following Myungjin Construction’s values without knowing that would have definitely appealed to Chairman Go Myeong-jin. The position of managing director will be of great help in future planning, but I need to proceed with the plan steadily but calculate the variables more thoroughly. ‘I won’t be allowed to fail even once.’
The emotions calmed down.
There was a class going on for a while in front of me, but my complicated mind did not stop thinking.
There haven’t been any plans gone wrong yet.
Originally, the plan was to secure a justification for intervening in the 5,000-unit construction project based on the trust gained this time, but as Chairman Ko Myung-jin proposed first, there was no need to do so. It was a positive variable. How to use it in the future depends on Kim Hyun-seong’s judgment.
It was then.
Buaaaaang-!
A loud engine noise was heard.
All the eyes of the students taking class looked out the window, and Hyunseong Kim followed them and looked out the window.
A bright red sports car entering the playground.
There was only one person who would make such a loud appearance in Daesan.
‘There wasn’t much to say in text. ‘What’s going on at school?’
Go Chang-beom, of course.
It was clear that he was not a nobleman.
* * *
Squeak.
Go Chang-beom leaned on the sofa.
He took the head seat as if it were his own home and looked at Oh Dae-hwan sitting across from him with a raised nose.
“How were you?”
“Is there anything special about me? By the way, I heard about what ‘Sangmu’ has done this time. You are truly amazing. Reconstruction is not an easy decision. How can you make such a bold decision? Thanks to you, I feel proud as a fellow Daesan citizen. “Isn’t Myungjin Construction the pride of Daesan?”
“Hehehe.”
Go Chang-beom laughed heartily.
It was nice to hear Oh Dae-hwan’s flattery, but the other person’s blatant reaction was quite funny.
You are the managing director.
It is not yet known that he was inaugurated as managing director, but this old raccoon must have already heard about it somewhere. With a slightly heated face, the posture is more servile than before. He must have been convinced that Go Chang-beom was strong and was ready to give up his entire liver and gallbladder for Go Chang-beom.
Go Chang-beom said.
“Actually, the reason I came to visit you like this was because I heard that you took good care of our Hyeonseong, so I came to say thank you.”
“no. “I just did what I was supposed to do as an educator.”
“But isn’t the human heart something that needs to be expressed to be known? I asked the principal for Hyeon-seong, and the fact that there was no harm to Hyeon-seong even though there was a big incident this time means that the principal did not ignore my words. Human relationships are give and take. “With that in mind, I would like to give you a gift.”
“A gift…?”
Oh Dae-hwan showed an innocent expression.
Even though he looked so excited that he could explode at any moment, he didn’t bother to ask first what the gift was.
“I heard that Cheonil High School’s sports facilities are very old. Isn’t this truly sad? The growing sprouts of Daesan, as well as the students of the prestigious Cheonil School, have to use old sports facilities. Myeongjin Construction has decided to proceed with a large project with Daesan City. We will build a new gymnasium with the city’s cooperation. “It also has a stylish, state-of-the-art swimming pool.”
“omg.”
Oh Dae-hwan’s eyes changed.
New gym.
swimming pool.
It was truly the basic condition of a prestigious family.
Prosperous schools have different gymnasiums, but Oh Dae-hwan felt like he would fall in love with Go Chang-beom right away when he heard that he would solve his problems. And Oh Dae-hwan, who had lived in a snobbish relationship all this time, knew very well what kind of attitude he should now show towards Go Chang-beom.
Oh Dae-hwan jumped up from his seat and shouted.
“We will continue to do our best to not disappoint your expectations. Please trust me, Daehwan Oh. There is no need to worry at all about our Hyeonseong. I am this thousand and one. “I will support Hyeonseong both materially and spiritually.”
“Hahaha, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Go Chang-beom smiled brightly.
He liked this kind of explicit relationship.
Give something in return and receive favors.
Go Chang-beom was able to smile more sincerely and brightly than when he encountered pure kindness at the construction site.

The next target was Kim Young-cheol.
Ko Chang-beom said in a coy voice as he saw Kim Young-cheol standing politely.
“I am a horse. I really like people like you. In the end, in this world where everyone struggles to live well, working for those in power is never a bad thing. I know it well. “There are rumors going around that Mr. Kim Young-cheol may be taking bribes from me while openly punishing Shin Young-min this time.”
“….”
Kim Young-cheol remained silent.
It was true.
Unlike before, he moved so openly that both teachers and students started talking about him.
“So what are you saying? No matter what people say, there is no problem with teaching as long as the principal of this school looks after the teachers. And our teacher, who returned home with both hands full of gifts, is the proudest head of the family. “Isn’t it more rewarding to become a father who lacks nothing in his family than to take care of a relationship that will last only three years at most?”
“you’re right. “I think so too.”
Our eyes met.
He grinned.
The laughter of the two snobs touched Go Chang-beom’s desire.
“I heard you go to Miracle often.”
“Ah… yes.”
Although the end of the sentence was blurred, it was meant as an affirmation.
It was a completely understandable reaction.
Kim Young-cheol is a married man and being a regular at Miracle, a bar that serves women, did not mean anything good.
Despite talking about being a good family man just a moment ago, it indirectly revealed how much of a duplicitous person Kim Young-cheol is.
Rather, it was good.
Go Chang-beom felt comfortable when he was with trash.
“There is no need for such matters to trouble us. I told Miracle, so take your friends today and have fun without worrying about money. “I’ll pay for all the drinks, and I’ve also packed a box of vitamins for Teacher Kim Young-cheol’s health, so don’t forget it when you go back.”
“…yes?”
Kim Young-cheol blinked.
It was a look that I couldn’t understand properly.
Even though I had been living like a piece of trash, this was my first time being like Go Chang-beom.
This is definitely a school.
Thinking that someone might hear him, Go Chang-beom brought his face closer and spoke in a secret voice.
“Money, money. “Please engrave it in your head from now on.”
Kim Young-cheol’s eyes changed.
Those eyes stained with desire.
“The person you are dealing with is not a parent with some money, but the heir of a huge company called Myungjin Construction. “I am a person whose reward is certain.”
Go Chang-beom looked at him with even more greedy eyes.
* * *
After class.
Kim Hyun-seong met Ko Chang-beom.
Kim Young-cheol specifically vacated the counseling room, and Go Chang-beom immediately got to the point.
“thanks.”
“yes.”
“yes? “You didn’t even ask what it was, you just said yes?”
“It’s obvious. “You must be grateful for this incident.”
Moment.
I laughed at the absurdity.
Even when we first met, Kim Hyun-seong showed none of the freshness that comes with being 17 years old. So I thought it was more attractive. If Go Chang-beom had shown immaturity befitting his age, he would never have accepted Kim Hyun-sung.
“Yes, in this case, I completely acknowledge you. The issue of dealing with Go Chang-seok is actually easy to resolve if you are aware of his affair, but this issue was never that kind of issue. This would not have been possible without a complete understanding of my father’s tendencies and the certainty of what benefits could be gained from the decision to re-build. you are a bastard And thanks to you, I got the position of managing director.”
He had a very serious expression.
In fact, at first, I did not seriously consider my relationship with Kim Hyun-seong.
I accepted Kim Hyun-seong’s proposal with the thought that I had to make up for it in a situation where the trend was going down anyway.
And now.
My thoughts changed.
Kim Hyun-seong was needed to become chairman.
Mandatory, not optional.
In that case, I couldn’t think about my relationship with Kim Hyun-seong in vain.
“I don’t know exactly what kind of future you envision, but I guess the fact that you want to put me in the position of chairman means you’re going to do something that requires that much power. I’ll accept it. Life is give and take, and no matter how much of a trash life I lived, I never took it and turned away. So, you should do your best in your position and I should do my best in my position. “It means that we must never forget that our relationship is always ‘transactional.’”
“is it so.”
“He’s a really cool kid. By the way, if you need anything, let me know. “Now I am truly willing to do anything for you at any time.”
This incident.
It was a special opportunity.
Seeing Go Chang-beom’s sincere gaze, Kim Hyun-seong opened his mouth after a moment of silence.
“I once said this. My goal is Seoul. In order to proceed with my plan in earnest, I need about a year and a half, and before I go to Seoul, this thousand days must become an iron fortress that cannot be destroyed by anyone. “If it goes as I expected, a lot will definitely happen in 1,000 days.”
“so?”
Our eyes met.
Kim Hyun-seong revealed his blatant intentions in those eyes that did not avoid each other.
“therefore. “How much money can you spend on me?”
