The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family - Chapter 120
[120] The immature and the 100-year-old guest 2
The Seoul City Hall briefing room was full of cameras and reporters.
Rumors have already circulated. The mayor of Seoul will make a major announcement, and the contents will be shocking enough to surpass imagination.
While reporters were buzzing about exchanging information, Mayor Choi Chang-je took the podium with several manuscripts with a hard face on.
When the camera flash went off, Mayor Choi set the microphone level and opened his mouth.
“Today, I stand here with a heart of apology to the citizens of Seoul and the people of Seoul. Even if I did not know it myself, I sincerely apologize once again that my family was involved in an unfortunate incident.”
I took a step to the side and bowed deeply.
Reporters had no doubt that today’s conference was the best scoop. Mayor Choi’s family is an ordinary law firm, but isn’t Sunyang Group his wife’s family? If Mayor Choi even held a press conference, it must be a problem with the Sunyang Group.
“A few days ago, we announced a revised plan right here to prevent overheated real estate speculation. Since that time, there have been numerous reports that there are illegal circumstances in the process of acquiring real estate, and the city of Seoul has handed over all the information to the prosecution.”
Mayor Choi made a slightly more solemn expression toward the camera.
“However, there has been no indication that the prosecution has launched an investigation, and rather, suspicious people flocked to the search building and demanded that the transaction details be deleted. How could this be? Destroying the evidence of the prosecution who let go of both hands…”
The reporters murmured as he lowered his head, blurting out the end of his words. Mayor Choi, who had been in that state for a while, raised his head.
“There are two families I mentioned at the outset. This is the prosecution who first served in public office and Sunyang Group, the wife’s family. The place where the real estate speculation was encouraged is the wife’s family, and the place where they knew about it and aided it was the prosecution. As the mayor of Seoul, it is difficult to ignore it any longer. So I ask the National Assembly. If the prosecution does not move, please move the National Assembly.”
The reporters’ expressions turned bad and they murmured.
“what? Why is the National Assembly here?”
“Are you going to do a special prosecutor? With real estate speculation? Isn’t it over?”
“It’s about playing the players. To avoid misunderstanding that he leaked information anyway.”
“Draw the line. I want to show that the Sunyang Group and myself are separate beings.”
“Mayor Nigimi Choi’s show, and we’re the bridesmaids.”
“It becomes a story. Sunyang Group and the Prosecutors’ Office, don’t you see something? Let’s get some tidying up. Hehe.”
Mayor Choi, who confirmed the reporters’ sullen reaction with his own eyes, quickly ended the interview. His message has been fully conveyed and is satisfactory.

“Did that bastard turn around…!”
Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki, who was watching TV, immediately took out his cell phone. However, the place he called was not Mayor Choi.
“Seo Yoon-ah. You come to work right now.”
– brother. What’s wrong? I’m busy too. Can’t we just talk on the phone?
“Do you know what Choi Seo-bang did?”
– Be careful with your words. what is this kid brother sister-in-law
“Noisy! did you do it hey! I wish I could fuck my son. Take it out and make it big? Can you afford it?”
– what? childishly. Are you threatening me now?
The voice of my younger sister, who was angry, pierced my ears.
“Threat? no. I’m warning you. stop here If you go one step further, your husband will not be able to do it either.”
After harshly hanging up, Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki made another phone call.
“It’s me, but today’s article about the mayor of Seoul… Be sure to block follow-up reports. If you don’t end it with a one-time article, I’ll make it clear that you’re turning your back on Sunyang.”
Where are the incidents and accidents that explode every day? In two or three days, the meeting of the mayor of Seoul will be a thing of the distant past.
Now, if you call just one more place, the urgent fire will be put out. But that seems to be more urgent. Jin Young-ki’s cell phone rang.
“Ah, the district attorney.”
– Vice President. What was Mayor Choi’s interview today? The kids looked at it and ran to it because it was absurd…
“Don’t worry about it. I’m doing it to hit the press. Politicians are all like that.”
― That’s a bit difficult. Chief Min Jung just contacted you. It is a business related to the government policy of being a cultural powerhouse, but it is difficult to mix with noise. I ask you to clean it up without a handful of suspicion.
Jin Young-ki, who was holding the phone, frowned. Things seem to have grown. Even the Blue House…
“Why are all of me like this? Making a fuss about buying some land! And I haven’t made any money, and the loss is huge. Let’s do it in moderation.”
– Vice President. Our situation is a bit…
“Oh, I knew it. I’ll talk to the Blue House, so please wait a little longer.”
After finishing the call, Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki felt that it was not serious.
Because he is the chief civil servant…
It is a place where his words are not eaten and he has to cross a few bridges to connect, not directly. Especially after a change of government.
If it were my father, I would connect them at once, but this time, I must not rush to my father. Things really get bigger. on the bad side.

“It’s a good thing. Are you selling your nephew now?”
Grandpa didn’t look angry. I stare at my aunt with a pathetic expression.
“father. I couldn’t help it this time. The land Yeongjun bought is tens of thousands of pyeong. If this fact is known, our boyfriend is in danger. I can’t erase the suspicion that I stole the development plan and speculated in real estate. This is the Special Prosecutor’s Office. Do you know how many people are after him?”
The hot-tempered aunt made excuses for a reasonable reason, but the grandfather’s expression did not change at all.
“That’s not it. Didn’t Yeong-joon seduce them into buying land and Choi Seo-bang exploded it and imitated the righteous mayor of Seoul?”
“father!”
“noisy. you’re stupid too Seobang Choi tricked you too. Do you still not understand that his target is not Yeongjun, but the prosecution?”
I didn’t know either. Until my uncle gave a press conference.
I never thought I would bite the prosecution and hang on…. He was a much more insidious man than I thought.
“So what? If you want to rob everything before starting development, you have to get a definite answer that the prosecution’s investigation is over.”
“Siding with the West… Tsk tsk.”
I can understand it when I see my aunt biting her lip. That my aunt was also tingling in the back of her husband’s head.
“And you, Do-joon!”
“yes. grandfather.”
“I think I misunderstood you.”
I still don’t know what my grandfather is thinking, so I have to match the rhythm or dance.
Once, I lowered my head.
“Are you bragging about knowing trivial information in advance? It’s important information that you shouldn’t even tell your parents. What do you gain by bragging about that!”
“sorry.”
Grandpa, who had been yelling at me, spoke again to my aunt.
“Since Choi Seo-bang provoked the prosecution, that side won’t stand still either. And your brother will grit his teeth and attack… You should have done what you could handle.”
My aunt’s expression wasn’t good either.
I should have gone as far as accusing Jin Yeongjun. If you hurt the eldest nephew in the family, you can get rid of the name Sunyang.
It would be embarrassing because not even my aunt could have predicted that things would grow this big.
The aunt glanced at the grandfather and let out a short sigh. Grandpa was averting his aunt’s gaze.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen grown children fight. You guys are fighting among yourself. Be mindful.”
Grandpa’s stern glance at once made Aunt stand up quietly. I got my butt up too, but I had to sit down again.
“Do-joon, you stay!”
My aunt, leaving the study, gave me a desperate look.
It will be a request to solve it well.
“What are you doing?”
“yes?”
“Why are you touching the prosecution?”
“Oh no.”
You are misunderstanding this. Apparently, they both thought I was scheming to water them.
“My uncle wanted to get rid of the label of Sunyang’s son-in-law, so I only told you how to end it in a moderately flawed way.”
“Is that Yeongjun?”
“yes. It would have been finished if we just excluded the Eunpyeong-gu search district from the development… I never thought I would shoot at the prosecution.”
“What? You don’t even hide it from me anymore.”
The grandfather even showed a slight laugh as if it was absurd.
“Didn’t you see through everything? What are you hiding?”
In this case, it is right to go out confidently. If I hide that it was my ruse, he will be rather disappointed.
Because close friends shouldn’t have secrets.
“so? What are you going to do now?”
“Do I have a chance to intervene? You should know each other. Whether it’s a fight or a handshake and reconciliation.”
Grandpa’s eyes changed. It was a subtle change, but it was clearly a look of disappointment.
“You would think your uncle was in your grasp, right? Because there is a contract for 40 billion campaign funding support.”
“It’s not like the song. It’s like insurance.”
“Didn’t you think there was no problem because you held the reins no matter what?”
“To some extent.”
“It’s too bad. The colt holding the reins didn’t grow properly and was about to die. Hehe.”
It’s not a pleasant laugh. It’s a laugh.
By the way… die? Could it be that grandpa is playing the game?
“Ha Grandpa. What are you talking about? Please explain so I can understand…”
I started to bend over for the first time. In the future, I need to raise my uncle well and make him a useful stallion, but it is impossible if my grandfather interferes.
“There is something your uncle took too easily.”
“You mean the prosecution? Did you take it lightly because you were from that area?”
“no. It’s the in-laws’ house.”
“yes? In-law…?”
“Yeongjun’s wife. your cousin sister-in-law.”
“ah…!”
I forgot. The Hanseong Ilbo, a Korean media conglomerate, is Hong So-young’s family.
“Your sister-in-law screamed quite a bit from rumors, and your in-laws said they gathered all the money they had and buried it in the ground. The damage to the in-laws’ house would not be insignificant. The cause of that is your uncle.”
Oops!
I didn’t even think about it. When the largest media outlets start gnashing their teeth and biting the mayor of Seoul for four years, they are on the verge of dying, as the grandfather said.
Even if he runs for re-election as mayor, let alone the presidency, he is on the verge of falling.
“What newspapermen fear the most is companies like us. Aren’t you going to give me money?”
“But it is politics that should never be pushed aside.”
“yes. It’s the only place where you can get it right. It is a media company that politicians are afraid of, so companies give out advertisements. What if there is a rumor that the Hanseong Ilbo drank water from the mayor of Seoul? It is stigmatized as a powerless newspaper company. Where would such a disgrace be?”
Grandpa stared blankly at my embarrassing appearance and burst into laughter.
“Uh heh heh. Aigoo, our youngest. You pretended to be smart by yourself, but you got into trouble. What to do with this! Even my uncle tried to be a coachman and ended up wasting money. haha.”
I couldn’t even hear my grandfather teasing me.
No one knows how public opinion will change once the Hansung Ilbo makes up its mind and starts chewing on Media City.
Looking at it, it is obvious that the grandfather will stand by as if he were to cross the river
