Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 9
2. Myeongjin Construction (4)
Go Chang-seok’s work.
At first glance, it was an opportunity.
If we take advantage of this opportunity and discredit him, Go Chang-beom will definitely have a chance.
Go Chang-beom’s thoughts were the same.
After hearing Kim Hyun-seong’s plan, he was excited and went along with it.
“Is that right? The idea is to make Chang-seok’s wife’s family fall out by bringing up his problem with dirty women. It’s a very good method. “If you accuse your father of someone like Chang-seok, saying he is the one who is ruining the reputation of the Go family, your father will also have big doubts about Go Chang-seok as his successor.”
“no. “That’s not a good idea.”
“huh? What are you talking about. “You said let’s go ahead with this plan.”
Go Chang-beom distorted his expression.
As he said.
It is clear that it was a strategy to remove the background, but using that as an excuse to disparage Go Chang-seok was a different matter.
A time when I was in a vegetable state.
Ironically, Kim Hyun-seong was able to hear a lot of news from the world thanks to the caregivers who, contrary to the rules of the hospital room, turned on the TV all day. All kinds of incidents and accidents. In situations where I had no choice but to focus entirely on hearing, such as who was driving drunk or who revealed something, those memories remained vivid in my mind.
among them.
There was also a mention of Go Myeong-jin.
He retired without problems as a successful businessman and suddenly appeared in a reporter’s memoir.
“There were many unique people among the famous people I investigated during my time as a reporter. For example, Chairman Ko Myung-jin, who was the first chairman of Myungjin Construction. People say that Myungjin Construction almost went bankrupt due to the competition between the two foolish sons, but the truth is different. Chairman Ko Myung-jin knew how competitive his two sons were. No matter what dirty deeds were committed, he would not intervene and would rather choose the victor as his successor. Chairman Koh Myung-jin, who initially tried to lead the company to a family business, took a risk. If Go Chang-seok had won even in a vicious way, if Go Chang-beom had known that fact and responded smartly. “The current Myungjin Construction with professional managers would not have existed.”
It was an interesting issue.
It was an incident that was on people’s lips for a very short time, ending simply by saying that Chairman Ko Myung-jin was a scarier person than expected. And the memory of that time took root in Kim Hyun-seong’s mind. In a series of plans for revenge, Myungjin Construction was a point that required a complete understanding of Go Myeongjin.
‘Chairman Go Myung-jin knew that Go Chang-seok was meeting a woman and that he was acting maliciously to bring down Go Chang-beom. Still, the fact that he stood by and watched showed his inclination. A person who will do anything to achieve results. The fact that she abandoned her two sons, whom she tried to carry, must have been a result of that tendency. So, would it be the right response to openly criticize Go Chang-beom in a situation where the affair has been revealed?’
no.
That’s not wise.
Go Chang-beom’s reputation remains the same, but criticizing Go Chang-seok alone is not enough to win Go Myeong-jin’s heart.
Then I changed my mind.
It looks different than before.
An attitude suitable for the position of president.
How about Go Chang-beom showing that side?
When Go Chang-seok’s value falls, Go Chang-beom’s new appearance will definitely appeal.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“The plan from now on is…”
The conversation was long.
He told me the plan in detail.
Your attitude and facial expression when speaking and what you will say.
Go Chang-beom was at a loss when he first received the plan, but now that things were going as expected, he had no choice but to trust Kim Hyun-seong. He had no reputation to fall into anyway. If the plan fails, he intended to retaliate against Kim Hyun-seong for sure, so he uttered the exact same message he had planned.
“For whatever reason, it was wrong for me, the eldest son of Myungjin Construction, to cause trouble. From now on, I will think carefully about my position and act accordingly. And father. “I will scold Changseok one more time for his actions.”
The die is cast.
and.
When Go Chang-beom raised his head again, he was delighted to see his father looking at him with a surprised face.
‘It worked.’
It was certain.
That expression on my father’s face.
He clearly thought of himself as something special.
* * *
Go Chang-beom’s attitude.
For Go Myeong-jin, this was something of a surprise.
He is the eldest son who would not admit even when he made a mistake, but this time he did not make any excuses even though the other person started an argument.
‘…It really has changed.’
eldest son.
It was a sore finger.
Go Myeong-jin, who really loved his first child, whom he had a hard time giving birth to, planned to hand over Myeongjin Construction in its entirety, even if his abilities were slightly lacking. If you die in the first place, isn’t everything useless? He thought that if Go Chang-beom, who looked so much like him outwardly, led Myungjin Construction well, he would be happy as his father before becoming the chairman.
But the reality was different.
Is it because he gave me so much love?
As time went by, my disappointment in my eldest son grew as I watched him live as a helpless person with no ability.
And today.
Go Chang-beom showed a different appearance than usual.
He didn’t make excuses, nor did he criticize his younger brother.
‘In Changbeom’s case, the other person started the argument first. If it were a normal Changbeom, he would never admit to his mistakes while talking about the other person’s mistakes. As the successor to Myungjin Construction, I am not the type of child to admit that the fact that I got caught up in such an incident in the first place was wrong. Moreover, he did not criticize Changseok’s incident. Did he finally realize that he could not take the position of chairman of Myungjin Construction with such gossip and criticism?’
if.
If Go Chang-seok could have been brought down through criticism, his merciful attitude would have been undesirable.
But not now.
Although there was a disagreement with his wife, Go Chang-seok’s position was solid, and when comparing individual abilities and reputations, Go Chang-seok had an overwhelming advantage. It was not a problem that could be solved just by blaming him. Tattling and criticism are like asking the chairman to point the finger at Go Chang-seok, so it was not Go Chang-beom’s ability to prove himself in the competition for successor.
Is that why?
I took my foot away.
Even though he was the one who benefited the most from this incident, he did not bother to reveal that fact outwardly.
It was then.
Go Chang-beom’s expression was visible.
It was only then that Go Myeong-jin could see the truth in the strangely twitching corner of his mouth.
‘Was it something like that? Changbeom has a clever advisor.’
It was certain.
This is Go Myeong-jin, who spent decades rolling on the construction floor.
He rose to the position of chairman from the bottom and was able to read Go Chang-beom’s thoughts with only subtle changes in facial expressions. This was possible because he was the eldest son whom I had been watching over for a long time. The series of circumstances did not originate in his head, but it seemed that someone had instructed him that he should act like this.
The meaning of laughter.
It was like that.
Go Chang-beom was unable to completely hide his expression because what he himself had doubted was a success.
‘Having someone by your side who complements your shortcomings. And even though he was anxious, he listened to what he said. That can also be said to be a quality of a chairman.’
I was happy.
The eldest son’s incompetence.
I already knew.
This is a fact that will not change even if heaven and earth change, but the fact that he trusted and had a capable person by his side meant that there was room for improvement. Like I said to my eldest son before. There was a good chance that the eldest son, who was considered a sore finger, could rise to the position of chairman as long as he managed people well.
I swallowed my laughter.
He didn’t show any signs of being emotional.
but.
There was a need to praise.
“I heard about it. The other person started an argument with you first. “Nevertheless, I tried to avoid the situation as much as possible.”
And then tap.
It caused ripples in Go Chang-beom’s heart.
“Good job. “I’m proud of you for dealing with it resolutely.”
* * *
Take a look.
The president’s office door was closed.
Go Chang-seok, who kept bowing his head until he came out, immediately changed his expression as soon as the door closed.
“Fuck, it looks like shit.”
Yesterday.
It was truly the worst day.
Kim Ji-hye gave me a double insult and slapped me, and my father-in-law gave me a cold look and I had to say sorry over and over again. But today, when I heard my father’s angry command, my stomach boiled. I could see Go Chang-beom engrossed in his vision as he struggled to calm his anger.
“I don’t know which dogs talk about the location of Hansung Officetel, but just be caught. “I will tear you to pieces.”
He was openly shot.
It was heartbreaking.
Since the only person who would benefit from attacking him was Go Chang-beom, he was confident that it was his act.
however.
No matter what Go Chang-seok said, Go Chang-beom’s consciousness was not there.
“Good job. “I’m proud of you for dealing with it resolutely.”
“Good job. “You handled it resolutely…”
“Well done. Resolutely…”
In my head.
A flower field spread out.
In that enchanting world, his father, who had been strict as an adult, was looking down at him with a kind face. If there were heaven, would it feel like this? Go Chang-beom couldn’t hide his joy as a shiver ran from his toes.
‘My father recognized me. He looked at me and said he was proud of me because I handled it well!’
It was thrilling.
In fact, I myself was not aware of my own shortcomings.
As the time I spent living as a bastard got longer, my longing for my father’s approval grew, but today I felt like it was completely relieved. I didn’t even pay attention to the presence of Go Chang-seok, who was leaving in a fuss. The only thing that mattered to him was that he received praise from his father, and he wanted to enjoy this moment to the fullest.
closely.
I clenched my fists.
This incident.
I hoped it wouldn’t end as a one-off.
He hoped that his father would always look at him with pride in the future.
Then there was something I needed.
‘Kim Hyunseong!’
Everything went according to his plan.
Go Chang-beom picked up his cell phone.
Tiriri.
Take off.
“Oh my, our pretty Hyunseong. Where are you now? “I’ll go there right away.”
* * *
One day.
At the moment of reunion, which was exactly less than 24 hours later, Go Chang-beom looked at Kim Hyun-seong with eyes dripping with honey.
“Thanks to you, I received recognition from my father for the first time in a long time. So hurry up and say it. What should I do to become president in the future? “I will follow whatever you say without hesitation.”
Attitude has completely changed.
Just one proof.
That was enough.
Regardless of the age of 17, I could not help but believe in Kim Hyun-seong now that I had witnessed his amazing results firsthand.
Hyunseong Kim said.
“This is just the beginning. Even though Go Chang-seok is said to have become distant from his wife, he just came down to the same position as Go Chang-beom, who had no background from the beginning. In order to truly take the position of president, you must win the remaining two conditions. Those are impossible things right now. “Once you get to the bottom and learn practical skills, I will teach you how to do it when the time is right.”
“Are you telling me to go to the bottom? That’s… AC, I understand! “What you’re saying is, what can’t they do?”
“And there is a condition.”
“condition?”
“yes.”
Go Chang-beom and Kim Hyun-seong.
Their relationship started now.
In order to somehow elevate Ko Chang-beom to the position of chairman, Kim Hyun-seong also had to receive some kind of compensation.
“Do you remember the conversation we had? Our relationship is clearly quid pro quo. “I will do my best for Go Chang-beom from now on, and Go Chang-beom should listen to what I want for my sake.”
“Just say it. “What can’t you do for our Hyeonseong? Even though I’m like this, Go Changbeom is a loyal person.”
“It’s good.”
I laughed.
Another reason why I chose Go Chang-beom.
At least, unlike Go Chang-seok, he was a person who clearly cared for his people.
Hyunseong Kim spoke bluntly.
“Mr. Go Chang-beom, please become my guardian.”
Myeongjin Construction.
It was the moment when I held in my hands the most important puzzle for future revenge.
