I knew how outrageous my demands sounded. But it was something that only Wen Jiabao could handle. — Boss Kim, you realize how ridiculous this sounds, right? "I know it's a tough request. However, if the Vice Premier is determined, I believe it can be done. Don't you think?" Wen Jiabao maintained a rather close relationship with the North Korean regime. He had visited North Korea several times already. He was one of the few Chinese officials who could reach out directly to the highest powers in…-

After more than five hours of driving from Seoul, I finally arrived in Gyeongsan. "Elder, are you there?" Jang Dae-ho was a man of considerable wealth, yet his home was surprisingly modest. Manager Ma pressed the weathered doorbell and raised his voice. The sound of a voice soon resonated from the yard after the bell rang. "Who is it?" The front gate swung open, revealing an elderly man with white hair. Jang Dae-ho was small in stature and appeared more ordinary than expected. Manager Ma bowed his…

After a long time, I decided to have dinner with my friends. Considering we might be seen, I intentionally arranged to meet at a restaurant in Gyeonggi Province instead of Seoul. When I arrived at the restaurant, only Myeong-su was there. "You got here fast!" "Oh, did I?" "Where are the others?" "They should be here soon. Just sit down." Prompted by Myeong-su, I took off my coat and handed it over to Manager Ma before heading into the room. "How’s Chairman Cheon?" "Same as always." "Even with…

"Chairman Seo has entered the Blue House?" For several days, I met with the heads of media outlets with connections, instructing them not to publish any articles, even if Ilseong gave the order. I convinced the heads of these outlets by promising to push more significant advertisements if Ilseong threatened them with ads. But while I was dealing with the media, I received reports that Chairman Seo Yong-geon had entered the Blue House. "He probably won't launch a direct attack..." Having been badly…

A few days had passed. Since Cheon Su-man entered the country, he had been busy, but he hadn’t come to see me even once. "What’s Cheon Su-man up to these days?" "After the petition for incompetency, he hasn't shown any significant movement. The hotel he's staying at is owned by Il-seong Group, making it difficult to approach him." "What about Chairman Seo?" "I confirmed he entered Chairman Seo's residence yesterday. He stayed there for quite a while." Manager Ma hesitated for a moment before…

“Father.” Cheon Ji-won waved as he waited for Cheon Su-man at the airport. “Let’s head straight to the hospital.” “Sure.” “What about Ji-soo?” “I told her to stay put.” As they got into the car that Cheon Ji-won drove, Cheon Su-man initiated the conversation. “The air really is refreshing in Korea.” “Once Grandfather passes, you’ll have to come back.” “That’s true. How’s the old man doing?” “He’s lost his grip on reality. He barely recognizes me…

December. All eyes were on the brink of the 20th century. The millennium bug and apocalyptic theories dominated not just the internet but mainstream media headlines. It was a time of chaos. Yet, in contrast to this panic, stock prices for IT firms like the American Nasdaq and Korea's KOSDAQ were skyrocketing. It was a crucial time for investors, but I had stepped away from all of it for a while. “Grandfather.” With Grandfather's health deteriorating day by day, it was becoming common for him to…

I walked up the staircase of an apartment with no elevator. As I pressed the doorbell, a woman opened the door. It's Zhang Ying. I recalled seeing her in a newspaper years ago. "Welcome!" Without asking much, I followed her inside. In the simple living room of the apartment, several computers were set up. The staff working there turned their heads to look at us. These people, just a little over ten in total, were founding members of Alibaba. Han Gyeong-yeong and I entered the main bedroom, which…

I shook my head with the towel I had grabbed earlier, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Is it urgent?" "I have a report on the people you assigned for the background check." It seems there might be some significant findings. Recently, background checks were conducted not only on Cheon Ji-young's manager but also on the gardener who had worked at the Pyeongchang-dong residence for many years, and the housekeeper in the kitchen. "Did they catch anyone?" "We scoured all accounts including those of…

It seemed that the financial matters were in Xu Ying's hands. Li Yanhong simply watched Han Gyeong-yeong without saying anything else. "Ten million dollars...? You mentioned you received a two million dollar investment, correct?" "Correct." "Let’s return that investment then." At Han Gyeong-yeong's words, Xu Ying shook his head vehemently. "No way. Those who stepped in to help us during tough times shouldn't be repaid just because other investors showed up." "What percentage of shares did you…
