As I entered the study, my grandfather was sitting in front of his desk with his eyes closed. The sunlight streaming in from behind created a shadow over his wrinkled face. He looked warm and somewhat ephemeral. "Grandfather." My grandfather slowly opened his eyes. "Mu-hyeok." "Did you take a nap?" "I guess I dozed off for a bit." My grandfather smiled warmly as he looked at me. "Is everything going well?" "I got the approval for Taesan Financial yesterday. I won’t tarnish your…-

Medvedev's friendly face was no different at this moment. "What can I do for you?" "Oh, I was told by Putin to come here and host the guests since he can’t attend to them properly. He asked me to step in for him." It seemed Medvedev was sent here under Putin's orders. "Why are you out on the terrace, though? You could be inside, enjoying the food and talking with the other guests. Opportunities like this don’t come around often. Why don’t you go mingle?" "I was resting outside because I had a…

HS Venture Capital announced its recruitment of employees after completing the establishment of its corporation. Perhaps due to the aftermath of the IMF crisis, a large number of people applied to the newly established company, more than expected. "I’ll help you only until the interviews." "Okay." To keep up appearances, I and Han Gyeong-yeong took our places as interviewers. We quickly conducted the interviews, allowing each candidate about three minutes. Even among the applicants, one of them…

Stop thinking about failure before you even try! I’ve been preparing for two years, and I’ve learned that talent isn’t everything. That’s true everywhere. If you’d told either me or your grandfather from the beginning, things wouldn’t have taken this long. Since that incident, I started paying close attention…

Kim Seong-hyeok spoke softly, betraying the hesitation one might expect. Yet the words that left his mouth held a gravity that was anything but light. It was a secret of Hyeonhwa Group, unknown in the pas and the future. "We were three siblings. Our father was strict, but perhaps that’s why we had a bond that was surprisingly strong for a chaebol family." A wistful look began to cloud Kim Seong-hyeok’s eyes as he reminisced about the past. "Misfortune struck when my father passed away unexpectedly.…

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day of the temporary shareholders’ meeting at Hyunhwa Corporation. By the time we checked the stock ledger, most of the minority shareholders had already received their compensation and signed over their proxies to Kim Seong-hak. "It's good to see you, Boss Kim." Before the temporary meeting, I had a brief tea time with Kim Seong-hak. His relaxed expression showed his confidence in the upcoming meeting’s results. "I heard you sent your son abroad." As I…

"It's been a while, Prosecutor General." "Come in, Boss Kim." It had been some time since I'd met with Yoon Chang-ho, the former chief prosecutor, who had recently stepped down from his position. He looked far more relaxed now compared to his time in the Prosecutors' Office. After finishing a simple meal, we got into the real discussion. "Are you getting a lot of calls from the political circle?" "Ha, I was actually planning to talk to you about that. Both sides are asking me to run in next year's…

As Eva mentioned that the moment she was discharged, she had already sent warnings to those in Mofia, I couldn't help but feel a mix of admiration and concern for her determination. — It's fine. Don't treat me like a patient, Boss. "Got it." She's improved a lot, but I knew she still carried some fear of others... It was due to her strong will that she was discharged, but my worries lingered. "Eva?" After I hung up, Han Gyeong-yeong, who was sitting across from me,…

The people who brought so many of us here had even thought of scenarios where we might rebel, but their attitude was not overly coercive. "I’ll lead the way. Just follow me," the man said. The place we arrived at was a building not far from the airport. It was a bland building with no sign. Unlike its exterior, the interior was clean. "The Prosecutor General will be here soon," he said. When we arrived in the inner room with the sofa and table, the man left without saying anything else. Only Igor…
