A tumultuous year has passed, and the new year of 2002 has arrived. This year is bound to be eventful. It's the year of the Korea-Japan World Cup and also an election year with a new president to be elected. Ahead of the presidential election, President Kim Hak-gwon left the Progressive Party due to internal strife, just before a by-election.

Hu Jintao. He was the head of the Communist Youth League and the next Chairman of China. When Deng Xiaoping appointed Jiang Zemin as Chairman, he firmly established Hu Jintao as his successor.

Hao Xun rose from his seat. "Then I’ll be in touch." "Manager, could I get a business card? I might contact you later tonight." Manager Ma nodded and retrieved a card holder from his pocket. Receiving the business card from Manager Ma, Hao Xun instructed his subordinates to pick up their guns. "Leave the guns behind. If you raise one again in Korea, I won't hesitate to take you down—all of you are aware of that, right?" The subordinates of Hao Xun, who had bent down to grab a gun, froze in…

‘Do I really have to give guns to real thugs?’ The situation had spiraled completely out of control just five minutes ago. Wang Wei, present here as a mediator, was a greedy man, just as he looked. Yoo Sung-jin's face flushed red with anger, fists clenched, feeling resentful for being betrayed by someone he had considered a long-time friend. "Hey, you think Hao Xun would just waltz into Korea without any plans?" Even though the gun was pointed at his head, there was no sign of panic from Hao Xun,…

Ma Seok-dae stepped into the cabin where Noh Ik-seon was being held. "You’ve arrived, Manager.\" Instead of answering, he gave a slight nod. "Where's President Noh?" "He’s in the room. Should I bring him out?" "I’ll go in myself." "Understood, Manager." "Lawyer, please review the contract and standby." Ma Seok-dae instructed the lawyer who had come with him. Lawyer Hong Ik-hyun nodded slightly and opened his briefcase while sitting on the sofa in the living room. Seeing this, Ma Seok-dae…

A smile spread across Hao Xun's face. It appeared that Yoo Sung-jin speaking in Chinese brought him joy. "You can speak Chinese?" "I can manage some conversations, but I don't understand everything." "Maybe I shouldn't have brought a translator after all." At that comment, Yoo Sung-jin smiled, releasing their clasped hands. "I also brought a translator. Clear communication is crucial, isn't it? This meeting decides whether to end the war or continue it. Let's sit down and continue our…

Upon checking the loan-related documents that Yoo Sung-jin brought, he looked up with a surprised expression and asked, "I was aware of it, but wasn't it a directive from the President?" I nodded. After all, there was no way the Heavenly Group was unaware of the illegal loans. If they were oblivious, they would have no right to complain about losing their bread and butter. Even as I nodded, I stole glances at Kang Joon-woo, but his expressionhadn't changed at all. "I received a report from the…

However, for a moment, my interest waned as I watched Kim Ji-soo, who was trembling with his head down. I turned to Seo Eun-sam, who looked bewildered beside him, and said, "If you feel affected in any way because of me, please let me know. If there’s a large company you like, feel free to talk to your supervisor at any time..." I looked over at Yoo Sung-jin. Seeing him standing there blankly, I doubted I could leave things to him. As I pondered who to entrust this to, my gaze met Lim…

I considered calling the chairman of the Heavenly Group, Yoo Sung-jin, to Myeong-dong, but I decided to check out how tough guys run a proper company, so I visited without notice. Before long, I arrived at the headquarters of the Heavenly Group in Seocho-dong. "I plan to go in quietly, so besides Manager Ma, no one else comes in. Everyone else should wait nearby." "Understood, Boss." Having a lot of security ensures safety, but if they move too conspicuously, they attract attention. So, in Korea, the…

The man's expression twisted in discontent at the broad smile that appeared on my face. However, he didn’t rush in; instead, he narrowed his gaze at me. "What’s your position?" "I’m the head of security, Im Hwa-soo," he replied. "Mr. Im Hwa-soo, all I've done is express my desire to meet Chairman Yoo Sung-jin multiple times. Yet, that man named Dae-ri has threatened me and called security, who then attempted to harm me. Was my behavior inappropriate? This seems like self-defense to me." Of…
