chapter 1
prologue
Although he is the son of a chaebol, he is not the son of a chaebol.
It’s not my taste to go into a conglomerate house and fight for power.
So, what do you want to do as the son of a conglomerate?
Isn’t that a matter of course? it’s youtube

“Never vomit at the words of your brothers. Understand?”
“…”
I left the door without answering my mother.
He is a person who lives with a sorry heart towards me for the rest of his life. There was no way I would throw up just because I was listening to him with the back of my ear.
“Hyeonjun. Understand? Just keep quiet and listen politely.”
oh. what’s up
Today, my mother summoned courage.
It was an important day, so today I noticed that I was going to hear my confirmation.
I stopped and looked back at my mother.
Startle.
Mom was surprised to see me and put her hand to my chest.
It looked so neat and beautiful.
He is now 45 years old, but he looked only in his early to mid 30s.
Genes are really scary.
Living as a single mother, she doesn’t seem to have taken much care of it, since she still maintains such admirable looks.
Well, so…
I quickly stopped my bitter thoughts and looked at my mother.
And he smiled slightly.
“all right. mom.”
When I answered obediently, Mom seemed happy.
“I’ll do well. Don’t worry. I will be obedient.”
It’s like my mother’s eyes are a little watery.
“huh. thanks. And… I’m sorry. For letting this happen.”
“I’m coming to get the money. what.”
I grinned again and went through the small garden to the gate.
The small but well-kept garden was beautiful.
Arrangement of plants, condition of care. There was nothing to complain about either of them.
It is also because my mother, whose career was cut off, had nothing to do at home except gardening.
“Come on up. Time has been delayed.”
A man in a black suit urged.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
I bowed my head slightly and spoke politely.
“…”
He seems a bit hesitant about how to react to me.
“no. Climb.”
The car he opened the door for me to get into was a top-of-the-line German sedan.
It was a car that I used to come to my house often and see my mom ride out a lot.
‘Does this kind of car say that it rides, not rides?’
I smiled bitterly.
However, it is the first time in my memory to open the door opened by the driver and sit in the back seat.
You must have ridden it when you were young. But it doesn’t stay in my memory.
– Yeah~
With a heavy yet soft sound, the car started.
The destination is Seongbuk-gu.
L group office building.
* * *
“hey. How are you?”
The 33rd floor of a 33-story office building.
The president’s office is located.
There are not many tall buildings in Seongbuk-gu, where the office building is located.
Although it was only on the 33rd floor, the view was surprisingly good.
“Hello.”
I bowed my head and said hello.
“hmm. Have you been here for a long time?”
“yes.”
Hyunwook Go.
He is the legitimate successor to L Group, the second largest group in the business world.
The main character on TV is talking about paying the third largest inheritance tax in Korean history.
It’s been a long time since we met in person, but I’m used to it because I saw it on TV yesterday.
“…”
“…”
Instead of greeting me, it is the younger brother who gives me a hostile look.
Go Hyun-seok.
Ko Hyeon-wook is 29 years old and Ko Hyeon-seok is 26 years old.
Korea is still a culture centered on the eldest son.
Ko Hyun-seok must have inherited it quite a bit, but the broadcast strictly focused only on the eldest son Ko Hyun-wook.
Is it like that since childhood?
Ko Hyeon-wook still knows how to decorate his attitude. Aren’t you still pretending to be nice to me?
However, Ko Hyeon-seok never goes out in front of the public, so there is no need to create such an image.
‘A chaebol’s idiot’.
just that image.
“How much is it? It’s been five years.”
Goh Hyun-wook said.
“Actually, I saw you at a funeral not too long ago.”
When I said this, Ko Hyeon-seok got annoyed.
“How many mourners were there? I don’t even remember seeing your face, but do you count as seeing that?”
Then Ko Hyeon-wook stopped.
“uh. do not do that. Anyway, I saw what I saw.”
“No, you’re just answering for nothing, brother. annoying…”
Ko Hyeon-seok glared at me as if he was going to eat me.
be patient Because I promised
obediently. don’t answer
‘But even with a word like this, it would be difficult to stir up such a fuss.’
“…”
Still, since Go Hyeon-wook was stopping him, he was silent.
“Are you becoming more and more like your mother? Women will flirt very well. The face is very…”
Go Hyun-seok said.
“Uh huh. it’s okay. I didn’t call you to say that. You are silent.”
Ko Hyeon-wook stopped again. And added this.
“You… You talked to me earlier.”
“okay. all right.”
Ko Hyeon-seok said this and sat down on the sofa.
It seems I wasn’t the only one who made an appointment and came here.
It seems that Ko Hyeon-seok also promised his brother to act decently.
“Is Hyunmin okay?”
okay. Anyway, Go Hyun-wook and I seem to have the same purpose.
To finish today’s meeting safely.
I think I just need to look at Koh Hyun-wook and talk about it. But I had one question.
“Isn’t Hyunmin here? I wonder how you are doing.”
Hyunmin is the youngest of these three brothers.
“hey. Hyunmin, Hyunmin, don’t do it. Do you think we are brothers because we got along a bit when we were young?”
“Anyway, Hyunmin and I are the same age. It’s not just brothers calling each other by name.”
This time, I accepted Ko Hyeon-seok’s words.
“…”
Ko Hyeon-seok made an annoyed expression, looked at his brother and said.
“brother. look. That bastard doesn’t want to lose a word. Are you sure you decided to come here today?”
“Be quiet!”
Ko Hyeon-wook’s voice rose.
wow. Is this the chaebol’s charisma?
It wasn’t even that loud, but it was so loud that even I flinched.
“…”
Ko Hyun-seok shut his mouth.
“Right now, Hyunmin is in America. I know. You guys are the same age, so we were close when we were kids.”
“yes. I just thought I might be able to see your face today. I was just asking how you are.”
“know. know.”
Ko Hyeon-wook said this, scratching his head for a moment before continuing.
“Actually, there was a saying that we shouldn’t meet in person.”
After saying this, Ko Hyeon-wook glanced back and saw a man in a suit wearing silver-rimmed glasses.
Are you from the legal team? Or maybe a secretary.
Anyway, he didn’t reveal his presence to the extent that he didn’t even know he was there until Goh Hyun-wook gave him a look.
‘People at large companies have something gloomy about them.’
I smiled bitterly.
“Can I tell you from now on?”
Go Hyun-wook nodded lightly, and a man in a suit looked at me and asked.
“yes…”
The man walked over and held out his business card.
– Seongsu Park, Team Leader of L Group Legal Affairs Team 1
He was also a member of the legal team.
“I will tell you straight forward. Didn’t our president pass away this time?”
I barely restrained the momentary burst of laughter.
It’s ‘Seungha’. I’m not ashamed of it, and I’m good at writing such words.
Is the president a king?
Just by looking at what a member of the legal team said, it was clear how authoritative the L Group was.
“yes.”
“He is 63 years old. You were too old. That’s why I can’t revise the will I wrote before.”
what? Why do you say this?
‘Is there something I don’t like?’
“First of all, in the will of the president, there is also a message to show the will directly to the beneficiaries of the inheritance. So let me show you.”
Saying this, Park Seong-soo handed out his will.
Other parts were covered.
I began to read carefully the part that was not covered, the part where my name was written.
– To my other son, Hyeonjun, I leave 2% of my cash assets and 3% of L Group shares at the time of my death.
gasp. what?
I coughed.
3% of L Group shares?
Of course, not 3% of the total.
3% of the shares owned by my father, Chairman Koh Moo-hyuk.
How much then? I think I was holding 30 percent by myself. 1 percent then?
“… sh*t.”
Ko Hyeon-seok was sitting on the sofa and muttering something like this.
It’s a small sound, but you can hear everything, you bastard.
But there was no time to worry about that.
Of course, I thought I would be able to inherit an amount that I hadn’t touched before.
By the way, did you write your will as a percentage?
The number of units is different from what I expected.
“This… so how much is it?”
I looked at Park Sung-soo and asked.
