The Youngest Son of Sunyang

Vice Chairman Jin Yeong-gi trembled with just his hands as he looked at the personnel orders inserted on his approval board.

While the appointments of executives in subsidiary companies still had to follow his father's decisions, the fact that construction executives had all resigned without any word to him had wounded his pride to the point where he couldn't bear it.

"Did these people come to work today?"

"They did not come to the company."

"Then?"

"..."

The nervous secretary hesitated, and Jin Yeong-gi let out a short sigh and lowered his voice.

"If you've found anything, report it. It's okay."

"It seems President Hong Song-chul received Chairman's instructions. The decision to transfer people, including Vice President Baek Jae-jin, was at President Jin's discretion. And..."

"And what else?"

"The transferred personnel are going to the Miracle Investment office in Yeouido."

"Miracle, meaning Oh Se-hyun, that guy?"

"Yes. From Sunyang Automotive to this current matter... it seems highly likely that Miracle has a close relationship with Chairman."

"Miracle lent us $1 billion before. Since then, it may have evolved from a simple business partnership."

The secretary's mention of a close relationship suggests that Miracle could potentially be a vault for the Chairman.

Jin Yeong-gi shook his head. If his father did have a vault, it meant that this would not be the way it's disclosed to the world.

"Do you have any more information?"

"I'm sorry. I can only repeat that Chairman has instructed us to keep quiet for the time being, so I can't provide more details. Maybe you could meet with the Chairman; they're all people who work for him."

"All of them are loyal to Father; they won't talk just because I ask."

"What about Director Kim Kyung-sik? He seems quite young for a Chairman's person."

"Kim Kyung-sik?"

"Yes, don't you know him? He may seem puffed up when he becomes an executive, but when Vice Chairman calls, he'll drop everything and come running."

"Hmm..."

He's a somewhat blurry face. A person whose highest position is director, and maybe when he calls, he might shed tears of joy.

"Book a dinner together quietly."

When he first looked at the personnel files, he wanted to run to his father and confront him, but now he knows better. If you're in your mid-fifties, you understand that taking care of yourself is all you can do.

"Feel free to listen. This is a belated congratulation for your promotion. Becoming a director right after being appointed, and then retiring."

The fact that Director Kim Kyung-sik had come in just a minute meant he hadn't left the company, and the resignations of construction executives were merely a formality on paper.

"I'm sorry, Vice Chairman. I was in such a hurry that I couldn't even give greetings."

"No, no. Whether you work outside or inside, you're still a Sunyang person, right?" Jin Yeong-gi poured a drink while watching Director Kim Kyung-sik's expression. "How is it? Isn't it tough working with President Oh Se-hyun?"

"It's okay. He's been abroad for a long time, so he's a relaxed person."

It was clear that Director Kim Kyung-sik didn't hold back in front of him.

Well, isn't he the chairman's eldest son and vice chairman? He knows everything about what he's doing, and he probably thinks of this dinner as an encouragement.

"Does that mean things are progressing quickly in your work?"

"Yes. The acquisition of Dae-ah Construction is also imminent, and the Digital Media City project has a clear concept, with detailed plans. We can complete the construction deadline and total cost estimation by the first half of the year."

Dae-ah Construction acquisition?

Digital what? City?

Trying not to show his surprise, he made an effort not to react, but an even more shocking name came up.

"By the way, Do-jun... No, Director Jin is quite remarkable too, right? There were many times when it felt like he was leading rather than learning the work. Blood really can't be fooled, it seems. Haha."

It sounded like a compliment, but it wasn't clear.

Do-jun?

Jin Yeong-gi quickly took a sip of alcohol to hide his shock.

After putting down his glass and chewing on a piece of meat, he spoke. "Oh, right, Do-jun was there too? But as a director? That's the first time I've heard of it."

"Don't you know? Well, it's not a big deal. He just handed out his business card when Mr. Oh was introducing him."

Learning the work and going around with him.

A red warning light lit up in Jin Yeong-gi's mind.

"Our youngest nephew learning from President Oh for a while... What is he learning there?"

"Oh, well... I shouldn't have said that..."

"No, it's okay. Everyone was too busy to pay attention to what our nephew was doing... It's okay. Speak freely."

"Even if it's not Chairman's words, you could have guessed enough, right? He seemed to be focusing into becoming an investment and M&A experts."

"Like President Oh Se-hyun?"

"Yes."

The warning signal disappeared. If he's in charge of investment and M&A from outside without entering Sunyang, he'll just be a senior member of Sunyang, not someone aiming for a throne.

"Well, it would have been nice to have at least one prosecutor nephew, but I guess blood can't be fooled, huh? Haha." Jin Yeong-gi, who had temporarily relaxed, began to look at Kim Kyung-sik carefully. "And I'd like to hear your thoughts once..."

"Yes, please tell me, Vice Chairman."

"Will Dae-ah Construction be able to smoothly proceed with that project? I heard it's quite massive."

"Yes, it's massive...," Kim Kyung-sik started to speak but suddenly fell silent. Isn't it considered taboo to discuss construction projects or related matters outside? It's common sense to handle such things without even letting one's wife know.

Furthermore, based on their tone, it seemed that the Vice Chairman was also unaware of the details.

Seeing Kim Kyung-sik's awkward expression, Jin Yeong-gi immediately spoke up.

"I know it's massive. That's why I'm asking. I've heard my father mention it briefly, but since it's an external project, I didn't pay much attention."

"Oh, I see. Don't worry. As I mentioned, it's progressing smoothly. It's a project worth tens of billions of dollars, so there can't be any mistakes."
