"This year, it's going to be tough to get it passed. With the presidential election and the economic crisis, everyone is busy managing votes. If the Interest Limitation Act is abolished next year, please make an effort to support it," If the lobbying of the Cheongpung Group and my grandfather were combined, the law could easily pass without issue. "But Mu-hyeok, even the IMF chairman and foreign investment banks say that the Korean economy isn't in crisis. The people in the government echo the same…-

Hong Kong had already seen Britain transfer many powers to China ahead of the handover. It’s the center of international finance and logistics in Asia. Many foreign companies and banks have their headquarters or branches here. HSBC (Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation). Before the handover, it acquired Midland Bank, moving its headquarters to the UK while keeping its subsidiary, HSBC, in Hong Kong. The person I wanted to recruit was an employee with little achievement at HSBC. However, after…

"Did you rest well?" "Yes, Grandfather." My grandfather welcomed me back from Busan with open arms. "I heard Chairman Jang stopped by, is that right?" "Yes, he wanted to borrow money, just as you said." "I guess he was in a hurry, considering how he acted last time like he’d never see us again." A sly smile crept across his face. My grandfather shook his head slowly. "With the money flow cut off, it's like a sinking ship. Other chaebols are probably discussing how to pick apart the remains of…

While sharing a meal, Eric and Han Gyeong-yeong seemed to hit it off, deciding to head to the hotel bar for drinks. "You two look great together!" "Eric's got a real knack for making friends," "For now, let's leave it to Eric." "He's reliable. Even when I was at EO, he was popular among the staff. A mercenary's survival chances are always higher with a competent boss." "Please keep an eye on the PMC matter, Manager Ma. I don’t know enough about it to handle it myself." "Understood." It seemed best…

Chairman Cheon and Lee Yong-hyun greeted each other with smiles, like old friends reuniting after a long time. To an outsider, they looked perfectly ordinary. "Please, come in." "After you." Without much more to say, they walked side by side. Chairman Cheon strode confidently, as if he was quite familiar with the layout of the mansion. Moments later, they shooed everyone else away and sat facing each other in the spacious reception room. Lee Yong-hyun was the first to break the silence. "Chairman…

From now on, Mu-hyeok is my successor. In my previous life, I was only named successor after graduating from university and struggling for a long time. "From now on, Mu-hyeok is my successor," I declared. Though it wasn’t officially recognized, most people connected to my grandfather already viewed me as the heir. However, making the announcement in a family gathering carried a different weight. It meant passing everything down to my grandson, and not just any grandson, but a Kim, not a…

Song Hyun-ji leaned in close as if about to share a secret and whispered. "Actually... Grandfather said he'd marry me off to someone else if I don't listen." "I heard you so could you back off a bit?" Song Hyun-ji glanced at me and moved away slightly. "What? Are you getting nervous?" "No." I tried to act calm but my heart still hadn't settled. "Oppa?" "Just continue what you were saying." I hastily changed the subject. Song Hyun-ji lifted her chin and said as if making a threat. "I want to…

"Didn't you say you didn't want to meet me?" Sensing her hesitation, I stepped away to give her some space. As I left the chairman's office, I found myself back in the plain, spacious office devoid of even a single decent potted plant. Ugh... I really can't get used to this layout. I could feel the employees stealing glances at me as they worked. Maintaining a composed expression, I spoke quietly with Manager Ma. "Once this deal is wrapped up, we'll start constructing a building on the Daechi-dong…

"Let's go in for now." It was an absurd situation, but this was reality. I swallowed a bitter laugh as I climbed the stairs. Reaching the third floor, I saw a large glass door. Next to it was a sign that read 'Hyeonbo Group' in big letters, with the names of Hyeonbo affiliates listed below. It looked so ordinary that I might have walked past it if not for the sign. A man inside the glass door saw us and came out. "What brings you here?" "I have an appointment with the Chairman." "With the…

It was the first time I'd seen Hyeon-seong's face in a year. Our eyes met across the empty space. "What? Why are you standing there like a statue? Sit down I've already ordered." At Myeong-su's scolding I took off my coat hung it up and sat down. I thought it might be awkward meeting Hyeon-seong after not contacting him since we parted ways in Busan. "Have you been well?" "Yeah you?" "Same as always. I heard you visited my grandma every day? Thanks." "Mm." But it felt as natural as if we'd seen…
