[246]Five Japanese Celebrations 4
“We only gave bribes to mourners from the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution. “I had a private conversation with the two bank presidents for quite some time.”
“It’s the prosecution and the bank… . It’s not a suitable combination. Maybe it was a different story. “What you’re worried about is the prosecution, right?”
“yes. Her grandmother’s words continue to haunt me. “Isn’t the quickest way to kick me out is to exploit my weaknesses?”
Oh Se-hyeon was lost in thought and opened his mouth after a while.
“You just check first. Even if the prosecution targets you, don’t move hastily. “I will also look here and there.”
“I’m sorry for dragging a retired person in for no reason.”
“So I wasn’t coming to Korea. “Just the stale air makes my heart suffocate, but seeing you go home makes me feel even more suffocated.”
As he was about to leave the house, he seemed a little worried.
“The reason I said I was looking into it wasn’t just for you. “I’m doing this because I might try to exploit Yoongi’s weakness.”
“Your father?”
“okay. There are a lot of things that are unclear there. You can catch as many pods as you want. Since I know that your parents are terrible, they might use Yoongi as bait to threaten you. “I’m more worried about that.”
The moment I heard this, a spark flew in my head.
I’m not angry. Maybe it could be an opportunity to turn things around.
“uncle. Don’t say anything to your father now. Check everything… .”
“Stop nagging. “I’m not that tactless old brat that needs to nag you yet.”
After Oh Se-hyun left, I waited for assistant manager Kim Yun-seok.
Since the amount was large, it took quite some time.
I think it goes to at least five or six places.
While waiting for him, I remembered a movie I saw in my past life called ‘The Taste of Money.’
There was a secret place where money was stored in the mansion of a wealthy family, and there was a huge pile of money that could fill three or four containers.
How much I giggled as I watched the money being taken from there every time I handed over a bribe… .
Of course, the director may have designed it to portray the appearance of a chaebol in a fantasy-like way, but to me, it was beyond pathetic.
Even with the real-name financial system and all, chaebols keep their slush funds in banks and no one keeps them at home.
The financial world is always on the side of the rich. No matter how tight the legal network is, expedients and deviations from the law are used for the benefit of the rich to suit their convenience. As always, financial services for the rich, especially conglomerate customers, are outside the scope of ordinary people’s thinking.
However, I thought it would be nice to have a space in the house where I could store billions of things like in the movies.
A secret space is revealed when the bookshelf in the study opens… . It might be fun.
These useless imaginations disappeared when Assistant Manager Kim Yun-seok and several bodyguards came in carrying boxes.
“Thank you for your hard work. “I have work to do here, so please go to your grandfather’s house first.”
I changed into a clean shirt to get the guys out and do real work.
“Are you okay with emptying the funeral like this?”
Managing Director Woo Byeong-jun, who rushed over, spoke a little worriedly.
“There are so many descendants that it doesn’t matter if one of them is missing. “Seeing as there hasn’t been a phone call looking for me yet.”
“It’s urgent enough to empty the mortuary.”
“yes.”
Managing Director Woo Byeong-jun looked at the boxes piled up in one corner of the living room and smiled slightly.
“The investigation into your wife is just beginning, so I have nothing to report… . Does it have anything to do with that?”
“yes. “I need to make some deliveries today.”
Director Woo seemed surprised to see my attitude.
“Are you going to go in person?”
“It should be so. “I have something to confirm by personally delivering it to you.”
“Who are you? “Are there people who need to meet in person?”
“This is Kim Seok-hwi, Chief of the Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office.”
As soon as Woo Byung-jun heard his name, he took out his cell phone.
“Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office Chief Kim Seok-hwi. Please check your cell phone number and home address. “It’s urgent.”
I didn’t ask where they contacted me.
Isn’t it polite not to ask about each other’s trade secrets?
A few minutes later, I heard a text notification sound.
“You should contact us in advance, right?”
“That’s right. “Isn’t it impossible for the prosecutor’s office to give bribes?”
“wait a minute.”
Woo Byung-jun took out his cell phone again.
“Bring a phone and come up. “A new one.”
cellphone? Is it a cannon phone?
“This is a cleanly washed cell phone. Please use this when speaking with these people in the future. “The cell phone is now in the manager’s name, right?”
“yes.”
“Use it only for official purposes. “The phone call between the third generation of a chaebol and the Chief Prosecutor is suspicious to anyone.”
It’s so detailed.
This person’s ability seemed amazing once again because he took care of it without having to worry about it.
Woo Byung-jun asked as the security guard put down a cell phone.
“How many will you take?”
“Two boxes are enough.”
At Director Woo’s glance, the security guard went down carrying two boxes.
“I’m going to go out for a moment. Please end the call and let me know.”
I made him sit down as he tried to stand up.
“You are in charge of such a task, so why bother to listen to phone calls? “Just sit down.”
“no. “The less we know about each other, the more comfortable the manager will be.”
He is a very difficult person to understand, whether he is thorough or stubborn.

After he left, I took a deep breath and dialed the Chief Prosecutor’s number.
– hello?
“Hello, Chief Prosecutor. “This is Jin Do-jun.”
– who? Jin Do-jun? if… ?
It’s a voice full of doubt.
“yes. We join hands with the late Chairman Jin Yang-cheol. And this is Jin Do-jun, who is in charge of Sunyang Financial Group.”
The voice suddenly changed.
– Oh, I see. I stopped by the funeral today, but I couldn’t say hello.
huh?!
It is difficult to judge just by the voice heard through the phone, but there was no sign of panic.
If the person you targeted today calls you as if he knows everything, no matter how calm he is, wouldn’t his voice be this welcoming?
Did I think wrong? Was it just a simple conversation without any targets or anything like that?
Probably not. Uncles are not the kind of people who would spend a long time with someone of the rank of high prosecutor just to say hello.
“no. I heard you saw her uncle. “I am sorry for not being able to greet the Chief Prosecutor first.”
– Oh my, don’t say anything. I heard that the Chairman’s favor was great. You must be so heartbroken, but there was no need to call to offer condolences.
The idea that I was not a target became increasingly clear. There is no trace of caution in this person’s voice.
“You are mistaken, Chief Prosecutor. “I didn’t call to say hello, but because of the chairman’s instructions.”
– Yuhun?
“yes. “I would like to meet you in person and talk to you, but would you be able to make time?”
It’s natural to feel suspicious when you suddenly ask to meet, and there’s no answer. We need to make it a little more comfortable.
“Ah, the financial group is not all that my grandfather entrusted to me. “He also entrusted us with tasks that the financial group needed to do specifically.”
– That thing… ?
“You told me to take care of it ‘every quarter’ so as not to interfere with official duties due to petty personal matters… .”
At this level, you might understand what your grandfather’s ‘guidance’ means… .
In an instant, the voice changed into one filled with joy.
– Oh, I see. Let’s stay still… . Well, I’ll meet you there in an hour as usual.
That place?
I quickly checked my notes and it said it was a parking lot. It was impossible to ask questions in the parking lot, so we quickly changed locations.
“I have to say hello, so how about somewhere more comfortable? “I will tell you the place.”
– Is that so?
“By the way, don’t forget that very few people, including my ‘family’, should know about this.”
– Sure.
I told him about the officetel in Yeouido and ended the call.
Now I have to check who the target he received from his uncle is.
* * *
“nice to see you. “This is Jin Do-jun.”
He bowed his head slightly towards Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok-hwi, who came in looking around the room.
“Ah, maybe because I’ve seen him on TV a few times, he looks familiar, not like I’m meeting him for the first time. haha.”
I was convinced as soon as I saw him. I am not a target.
Many people’s faces passed through my mind. Who is the person that the uncles want to kick out?
After we exchanged brief greetings, he asked: I guess he was quite curious too.
“The chairman’s instructions are… “Is my guess correct?”
“Maybe. My grandfather chose a few people and told us to take care of them like family. My two uncles, who are vice presidents, said that they lacked a bit of detail. Of course, the group is very busy with work.”
“Oh my, the chairman is a great person. To be honest, after the chairman passed away, I gave up thinking about it.”
“Nothing changes. As always, I will take care not to let household chores affect my official duties. only… .”
When I caught a glimpse of him, he smiled and said.
“Please speak in peace, it’s okay.”
“I just want you to keep this a secret from the Vice President. “Actually, there is another reason why my grandfather entrusted me with this job.”
“Any other reasons?”
“yes. The two vice presidents are people who are very concerned about efficiency. what… My grandfather also taught management classes like that. So, these are the people who will only complete a necessary task or ask for help with an appropriate response.”
Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok-hwi’s expression is not good. This means that he only gives money if he gets the job done. And there are many prosecutors who can handle the work. In other words, it is quite predictable that he will be reduced to a tool to be used occasionally.
“But please feel free to think of it as a division of roles. “Just as the roles of group management are now divided.”
After my explanation was over, the Chief Prosecutor smiled.
It means that you clearly know who is the person you need more.
A person who only gives money when needed.
A person who always gives money without fail.
Wouldn’t it make your mouth hurt to even mention who the string you shouldn’t miss is?
“I can’t forget to say thank you for taking such care.”
“Well, I’m just doing the job my grandfather entrusted me with. “There is no need to feel burdened.”
I have clearly informed you of my location and role, and all that remains is confirmation.
“By the way, Chief Prosecutor.”
“yes.”
“I hope you take care of what your uncle asked you to do today. “It’s important work for the group.”
You must choose your words carefully. You should make them feel as if you are in the same conversation with them and already know what they are asking for.
I anxiously waited for his reaction.
“of course. “Generation change is a critical issue that will determine the next 30 years.”
Generation change?
When the grandfather divided his shares, the generational change was already over. Who’s left? Can’t those who are still in their seats be replaced at any time?
“yes. “Especially since my grandfather passed away, I can’t delay it any longer.”
When we quietly agreed, the conversation went one step deeper.
“No matter how much of a second-in-command he was, since the chairman passed away, he should have stepped down so as not to burden the rest. “Isn’t that the human duty?”
Inja Lee!
Just two people came to mind.
Electronics President Son Hoon-jae and Chief Secretary Lee Hak-jae.
From Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki’s position, he must quickly get rid of President Son Hoon-jae in order to secure control over electronics, the main axis of the group.
However, the real person in charge is Director Lee Hak-jae.
Chief Prosecutor Kim Seok-hwi is an outsider. From an outside perspective, the only person in charge is Director Hakjae Lee.
