The Youngest Son Of A Rich Family - Chapter 95
[095] Hard Fight 3
“Me?”
“That’s right. Candidate Gyeong-yeol Ko had no intention of meeting him, and there is no reason to meet him in the future.”
The corners of Kim Gwan-hyeok’s mouth went up slightly, and his eyes looking at me became sharper.
“Is it enough to submit complaints only through me? For a foreign investor, you know how Korean politicians work. The key to solicitation is not to meet the person concerned.”
A person who easily conveys what he wants to those in power. This is how real life is born.
The real world takes someone’s request and solves it. Of course, only those in power have the power to resolve solicitations, but those in power follow the words of the real world.
The one who sits on the throne and the right hand he trusts. The line between who is really in power is blurred.
“You misunderstood. I have no complaints against Candidate Kyung-yeol Ko.”
“Does the business owner need to meet me when there is nothing to file a complaint with? Oh, are you careful with what I say because I cut it so quickly?”
“no. As I mentioned earlier, my goal is to meet General Manager Kim.”
Kim Gwan-hyeok resisted wanting to have a drink and instead picked up a glass of water.
“Let’s hear what that purpose is. I can do that much for the expensive meal.”
“thank you. Chief of Staff. I’m still inexperienced, so I’m asking. Is there any case where the second person succeeds the first person?”
Again, his eyebrows twitched. This is because he realized that Lee In-ja was himself.
“Lee In-ja always ended his life as a second person. Of course, Chun Doo-hwan’s friend Roh Tae-woo became president, but Chun Doo-hwan did not make it. I changed it to a direct system and pushed it into a mud fight, and I think the election was possible because of the division between the two Kims.”
“so?”
Speech gets a little harsher. Anyway, I was prepared for double voices.
“The right arm of the powerful man went down little by little and eventually became a tail. The end is the fate of being cut off from the torso of the powerful.”
“Go on.”
Gam Gwan-hyeok’s impression is even more formidable.
“Where do you think the phrase ‘Lee In-ja and right-hand man’ came from? It wasn’t made for the public to exalt such a person. The first person or body was created to attract subordinates like limbs and loyalty. It’s just a rhetoric to make sure you don’t resent it even if you praise it and throw it away after eating it to the fullest.”
I tried not to empathize.
The only person I trust is you Let’s go together Let’s go together…….
How sweet is this?
Intoxicated with such sweetness, it was considered a part of loyalty and natural to volunteer to become a farmhand and take responsibility for a crime that he did not commit.
It is clear that Kim Gwan-hyeok, who is now sitting in front of me and hardened, has not escaped from such an illusion. You just need to wake it up.
It’s not words that make you realize, but you have to start with words at first.
“Actually, the head of the headquarters holds the life of Candidate Gyeong-yeol Ko in both hands. Isn’t his political life that will begin in the future different joys and sorrows depending on what Director Kim does?”
“Your young friend is insidious. Enough that the person who arranged this event will introduce you.”
I started to let go of my words. Since it is not a place for Ko Gyeong-yeol, he does not feel the need to be formal for him.
“Stop talking round and round, if I’m the goal, then just talk about the conclusion, right? Because that’s how you notice.”
“I want to buy the rest of Director Kim Kwan-hyuk’s life.”
“what?”
“The right-hand man of a person who has a slight possibility of entering the Blue House through the mayor of Seoul. Of course, becoming the mayor of Seoul is uncertain, and the road to the Blue House will be even more difficult. Besides, the fact that the general manager inherits the position… It seems to me that the possibility is zero… Rather than aiming for the unlikely power, why don’t you sell the general manager’s future to me at a very high price?”
“This… this one…!”
It’s a look that doesn’t know if it’s because it’s absurd or if it thinks it’s insulted.
“Ah, I will take responsibility for the director’s children as well. We will spare no support so that your children can do whatever they want to do. If you want a life of playing and eating, I plan to take responsibility for that as well.”
Aren’t our parents infinitely weak in front of their children? Kim Kwan-hyeok kicked out of his seat and didn’t get up, for the moment, it was a success.
“Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want anything great. All you have to do is say one word.”
“Because of that one word, I will break up with Candidate Kyung-yeol Ko?”
“That’s right. However, if Candidate Goh truly thinks of the head of the headquarters as his right-hand man, he will not abandon him because of a single mistake. Maybe it’s a chance to test whether you’re a true right-hand man or just a sex worker.”
If the seeds of doubt and distrust were hidden in a corner of his heart, they would bloom, and if not, the seeds would germinate from now on.
“Candidate Ko Gyeong-yeol say just one thing that would cause him to lose in the mayoral election, as if it were a mistake. In return, I will give you 20 billion. I’ll wash the money clean and put it where you want. Switzerland is fine, Virgin Islands are fine.”
Before Kim Kwan-hyeok opened his mouth, he did not stop making suggestions.
“In addition, I will serve as an executive of Miracle. If you want to live abroad, just state the name of the country. We will set up a branch there. Of course, I will fully enjoy the benefits of being an executive.”
In any transaction, price is always an issue.
It shakes when you throw an amount you never expected.
I heard that the easiest way to connect with a powerful person is to give 100 million won in relief money for family congratulations and condolences. That’s what Jin Young-joon said.
He said that if you feel burdened, you will definitely meet him to give back or to say thank you.
20 billion won to betray Ko Gyeong-yeol whom he had been serving.
With that money, if the ruling party or the opposition party pays billions in special party fees, it is an amount that can even aim for a badge as a member of the National Assembly as a proportional representative.
From someone’s right hand to the opportunity to make someone a right hand, it’s worth looking at.
I didn’t miss Kim Gwan-hyeok’s shaking eyes.
I didn’t expect to answer here anyway. You should give yourself some time to think about it.
“I don’t know who arranged this, but trust him. I’m not talking nonsense, and no matter what I say, it won’t leak out.”
I quietly got up from my seat.
“I will give you enough time to think about it. If I don’t hear from you by this time tomorrow, I’ll look for someone else. Anyway, someone will talk about the weak part of Candidate Gyeong-yeol Ko. In an era where people take out gold items hidden deep in the closet and join the gold-collecting movement, there are many people who will even sell their souls for 20 billion won.”
I don’t know if it was because of shock or worry, but Kim Kwan-hyeok didn’t get up from his seat.
I bowed my head to him and left the Japanese restaurant.

“By the way, who introduced Kim Kwan-hyuk? He didn’t look like he was introduced by his grandfather.”
“Kim Kwan-hyuk…?”
Grandpa doesn’t know either.
“How am I supposed to know who that friend is? I just told someone I know that Go Kyung-yeol sent some of his closest aides. I was told not to reveal my name. That way he won’t misunderstand.”
It is a way to avoid being misunderstood as a special envoy of the chairman of Sunyang Group.
Thanks to that, I wouldn’t have been able to connect Jinga and Sunyang.
“So, what did we talk about when we met? Did you tell me that you can change horses? Did you throw a bait by offering to sponsor the election?”
“no. He told me to betray Go Gyeong-yeol. Then, since I will look after you, I am suggesting that you drastically change the course of your life.”
I told my grandfather in detail about the conversation I had with Kim Kwan-hyeok yesterday.
How would you rate it?
After the story was over, he looked at me carefully for a while and let out a shot.
“Huh- I still only thought of you as my grandson. I never thought that it would surpass my thoughts. I thought you were going to be alone with Ko Gyeong-yeol through that Kim machine…. To push him the stakes…….”
“It’s scary when a farmhand betrays you. If your aides turn their backs, you will surely collapse.”
“It’s okay to take care of Go Kyung-yeol as you like, so why bother with someone below you?”
Now, it seems that they are curious about my judgment rather than arguing about the good or bad of my choices.
“Go Gyeong-yeol is a person who fits in with my grandfather’s generation. Even if he accepts my proposal and joins hands with me, he will not thank me even if I hand over campaign funds. Even if you promote the DMC business, you will think that you are giving me grace. The sending and receiving locations are different.”
A relationship that a money grabber looks down on from above is rejection.
“But people like my uncle and Kim Kwan-hyeok will work with the idea of repaying the favor I have given them, no matter what they do. People who move with just one phone call from Grandpa… Don’t they bow down in front of Grandpa?”
“this guy. Are you trying to discriminate against the older generation while buying people? haha.”
The grinning grandfather looks very satisfied.
“What do you expect? Will Kim Kwan-hyuk accept my offer today? Or will I just be satisfied with my right arm and ignore it?”
“Okay. The bait of 20 billion you threw is so appetizing that I will think about it until the end. Maybe I can do something else to catch myself shaking.”
“Any other action?”
Grandpa avoided my answer with a gentle smile.
What does it mean?
* * *
It was difficult to concentrate today. Even though he was in the position of presiding over the meeting at the election headquarters, he went beyond reason.
“Stop it. My condition is really messed up today. Keep an eye on media trends and run opinion polls. Chaebol son-in-law and military exemption, which is more negative.”
Kim Kwan-hyuk, head of the election headquarters, realized that he could not do anything in this state. He is the only one who can calm his trembling heart.
“Where is the candidate right now?”
“After finishing the meeting with the floor leader, he is on his way here.”
“Let me know as soon as you arrive. I have something to report to you.”
Kim Gwan-hyeok buried his upper body in a chair in the conference room left alone and closed his eyes.
All of this is because of the young kid who rocked him yesterday. No, to be honest, it was because of the kid’s suggestion.
In short, it means to restart life with 20 billion won, and it is a temptation that guarantees an executive position at an investment company even if it is politically impossible to revive.
This temptation is absolutely not bullshit. Because the former minister is not one to introduce a foolish person.
“Chief. The candidate has arrived.”
Kim Gwan-hyeok shook off his thoughts and left the conference room. Then, he knocked lightly on the door of Candidate Koh’s office and entered.
“Did your trip go well?”
“Damn, you called me when you felt sorry for me, and now you are playing with me to tame me.”
Go Gyeong-yeol nervously threw his jacket onto the sofa.
“Why is the floor leader…?”
“The members of the Seoul constituency ‘notified’ that they would give some of the campaign funds to them because they needed money to move the dot organizations in their area. damn it.”
Just by looking at his expression and his tone, I could tell how angry he was.
At this time, I thought it was not pouring oil, but I changed my mind.
In this case, oil must be poured.
Only then will the truth come out and the true face will be revealed.
“Here’s the candidate.”
“huh. why?”
“I’m afraid to say this, but… I think I’ll have to be away for a week or so. It’s housework…”
“What are you talking about? Don’t you know how important this time is? no! If it’s housework, put it off.”
Go Gyeong-yeol crumpled his expression and shouted in an annoyed voice.
