“Director. I didn’t hear it wrong, right? “Hansung Ilbo, that’s Hong So-young, right?”
“okay. Chaebols… . Everyone knows that they live as strangers than a married couple. “For a husband, a wife is nothing more than a seedbed to give birth to a male child who will inherit the company, and for a woman, a chaebol husband is a halo that makes her sound like a wife.”
In front of the director who was grinding his teeth, the social affairs reporters looked embarrassed.
It’s not just the worst, it’s a treason. I can’t handle the aftermath.
“Don’t be scared. “I take responsibility.”
“What do you mean, how do you take responsibility? Director, no way… ?”
When a salaried employee attacks his superiors, it is when he is mentally prepared.
“Are you quitting your job? Where did you get a scouting offer?”
One reporter asked, lowering his voice.
“I will get a job in April next year. You guys should stick straws at me now too. “I will assign you to the political department before I move you.”
When Director Cho spoke with a smile, the reporters’ eyes widened.
“W-Yeouido?”
“okay. Me and Chief Pil Park were selected. Here too, it is a month at most. “Hehe.”
“Oh my gosh, I’m reducing it. Director. Such a slope… .”
“Is that why you came to see Chairman Hong? Wait, isn’t it? “If that were the case, there would be no reason to rob Hong So-young.”
Reporters were curious about who Director Cho’s sponsor was, but Director Cho did not reveal it. It’s not time yet.
“You will find out little by little. Anyway, get your bearings clearly. Even if you guys grab Hong So-young by her hair, there will be no harm. “You understand, right?”

“I believe our deal ended yesterday… . “Is there anything left to say?”
“As I get older, I feel more comfortable holding hands than fighting.”
Park Man-seong, the editor-in-chief of the Hansung Ilbo, suddenly appeared and showed a generous smile like a grandfather next door.
“Aren’t we holding hands? “Am I the only one who made a mistake?”
“You have two hands.”
You have two hands… … .
I thought about the true meaning of what he said while smiling.
The person that Joo Pil Park wants to avoid fighting with is the person I need to reach out to again.
This guy is not ordinary.
“The editor-in-chief must be busy. Is that possible?”
“Isn’t family business more important than family? “It’s not something to be stubborn about.”
“If everything goes well, I have no reason to refuse.”
“Then, I will assume that you have agreed and proceed.”
I felt it again as I watched his back hurry away. He is a smart old man.

“This friend… ! “Are you saying that now?”
Hansung Ilbo Chairman Hong was dumbfounded when Editor-in-Chief Park, who suddenly appeared after not being seen all day, said something strange.
“Stay tuned and think carefully. Has our Hansung Ilbo ever been on the side of the losers?”
“so? Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki is fighting a losing battle?”
“It was like that from the beginning. When Chairman Jin Yang-cheol puts his youngest grandson at the forefront, victory or defeat may have been decided. The side that defends the only remaining castle after everything was taken away, and the side that surrounds the castle and launches offensives day after day. Jin Do-jun is in an advantageous situation.”
“Hey friend! She’s my daughter! “I’m talking about my in-laws.”
“So?”
“what?”
Chairman Hong was shocked when Chief Pil Park spoke in a casual way. Even if it is someone else’s housework, it cannot be said so easily.
“Do you think Soyoung will take on the role of the eldest daughter-in-law of a family that is all ruined? Aren’t Jin Do-jun going to file divorce papers the moment he takes over Sunyang? Chairman, don’t you know your daughter’s personality?”
It was hard to refute it. Even though she knew that Jin Young-jun was her boyfriend when she was young, she married him. Just because he is Chairman Jin’s eldest grandson.
There is no way that a daughter whose goal is to become the hostess of the Sunyang Group will obediently assume the role of the eldest daughter-in-law of a ruined family.
“Hansung Ilbo is a family business that has been passed down for three generations. During the Japanese colonial period and during the war, soldiers crossed the Han River twice, but survived through skillful behavior. “Compared to that, the president’s family life is nothing.”
After pacing around with his mouth shut for a while, Chairman Hong spoke to Chief Editor Park.
“You think victory or defeat has already been decided.”
“The capabilities are different. The eldest son inherited the most and the youngest son inherited the least. But look at it now. The true scale of Jin Do-jun’s HW, Sunyang, and Miracle is so enormous that no one knows. “We’re already done with the firepower.”
After seeing that Chairman Hong’s heart was moving, Chief Editor Park said the most realistic words.
“Think about when Jin Daojun took over Sunyang. We could dry up and die. In particular, even if this administration secures a comprehensive programming channel, it will be impossible to schedule advertisements.”
When Chairman Hong thought of a comprehensive programming channel, he sighed.
The neck of the media is held by advertisers, not readers or the government.
Even now, I feel sick to my stomach just looking at the enormous amount of advertising money that Jin Do-jun is spending. If the current situation continues in general channels, a huge deficit is obvious.
“But why are you suddenly saying this? Both you and Director Cho are a bit strange… .”
“Jin Do-jun offered to scout me.”
“also! “That’s right.”
As expected, I thought that Director Park was one step above Director Cho. Director Park, who tries to take both in a moment of choice, is someone whom Director Cho, who only calculates personal interests, cannot keep up with.
“What will you do if I reject your offer? Are you going to stick over there?”
“You can’t refuse, right? is not it?”
It was difficult for Chairman Hong to shake his head in the smiling face of Chief Editor Park.
＊＊＊
“Oh my, my in-laws. Shinsoo is clear. The last time you saw your face was at your wedding, right? “I was too indifferent.”
“You say all sorts of things, Chairman. As a subordinate, I have to contact you often… .”
“No, no. He is the busiest person in Korea. How can he find time to even care about an old man like me? “It’s okay.”
Is it because I’m a journalist? Or is it because I met an advertiser who was in a superior position? He is a person who can make anyone laugh no matter what he is.
“By the way, did you see the top article in today’s morning paper? I instructed you to be careful… .”

Korean companies must also change to survive in international competition. We must no longer work for the interests of corporate owners, but for the interests of shareholders, and to do so, even foreigners should be given the position of CEO if they are capable.
For a gesture of reconciliation, it seemed almost unfamiliar.
“You said something very correct. haha.”
I can also smile and say strange things.
For a while, we just ate while dancing to each other and making unfamiliar noises as accompaniment. As you can see just by looking at the article, the two sides have already reached out and joined hands. There is no need to say anything.
It’s just that the old man created this situation because he wanted to get a definite answer from me.
“By the way, Chairman. Is today’s article okay? “I’m sure your uncle will be very angry.”
“What can I do? It’s so hard to always maintain a good in-law relationship. But the burden I carry is too great to live like a sinner for having a daughter. “Protecting the Hanseong Ilbo takes priority over maintaining a good in-law relationship.”
“Yes. “The family business comes first.”
Chairman Hong looked at me and spoke with difficulty.
“How is it? “Would you please help this old man grow the family business he inherited?”
I wait for the words I need to hear to come out of my mouth.
“What power do I have? If the media fulfills its mission, won’t the public recognize it and readers will repay the favor? Then Hansung Ilbo will live forever. Oh, I will subscribe. And we also give instructions to related affiliates. “I ask each department to subscribe to one copy.”
At that moment, Chairman Hong’s complexion turned red.
These are not words you should have heard, but words that turn your stomach, so even if you were a person who lived with a fake smile, it would have been difficult to hide your emotions.
“I don’t think it’s time to joke… ?”
“It’s no joke. “What more do you think I can do?”
“Are you serious?”
I smiled at him who was glaring at me.
“One of the things I learned from my grandfather is to clearly distinguish between friend and enemy. “If it’s an ally, you have to make sure they eat three meals a day so they don’t go hungry. If it’s an enemy, you have to set fire to their barn so they can’t sleep because they worry about food.”
“Am I the enemy? “Are you saying that even after reading the newspaper this morning?”
It is clear that the article was written with pride in mind. It is a declaration of surrender and a sign of reconciliation, but ignoring it is like throwing salt on their broken pride.
How bitter will it be? Those glaring eyes are definitely worth it.
“Thank you for the article, but the chairman’s daughter is my sister-in-law. She’s the wife of the person I’m trying to beat. “This is not a relationship that can be changed with a single friendly article.”
“I even abandoned my daughter to protect the family business. “Don’t you know that?”
“That’s not it, I’m trying to get my daughter out of her in-laws’ house that is going bankrupt. Instead, you want to get me to take that position. Isn’t it?”
If you don’t know the topic yet, you should listen to more harsh words. I told him about our future relationship since he couldn’t say anything.
“If Hansung Ilbo and Sunyang are no longer related as in-laws, the chairman and I are strangers. If it weren’t for business, you wouldn’t have the opportunity to smile and be humble like this. Oh, of course, it’s true that we still met through business, but it’s ambiguous because we’re connected.”
The closed mouth opened slightly and a faint sigh came out.
I realized that even if I said that my daughter would be my friend unless she divorced, it would only be an empty statement.
And the moment the daughter divorces, it is not an alliance but a master-slave relationship.
There is only a hierarchical relationship between advertisers and media companies, A and B, and those who share and those who receive.
“Maybe it’s because I’m still young… . “You are ignoring the power of Hansung Ilbo too much.”
I know this isn’t a threat to break the game. They are trying their best to become even a little more equal.
“You don’t know my strength yet, so you are building up your last remaining pride. Money that can be mobilized in unlimited amounts at any time, my Sunyang affiliates, and HW Group. Should we use this power to move all media outlets in Korea except the Hansung Ilbo? Hansung Ilbo It will only be a moment for you to be alone.”
An article that is not accepted by other media is just a combination of words and has no power. Articles with a similar tone must follow in a row to move public opinion and move public sentiment.
Hansung Ilbo will not gain trust if it claims to be the only one with a scoop. This is also the reason why independent media cannot use their power.
His eyes widened when he heard the words “unlimited money.”
I told him who Miracle Investment in New York was, and Chairman Hong understood.
“Divorce will be inevitable anyway. Then our Hansung Ilbo and Sunyang are not related. “Is there anything else you need?”
“If that happens, I don’t need anything. But there is something you must know, Chairman.”
“What is that?”
“Let’s do our own work. “This is a song sung by a kindergartener.”
I put down my spoon and got up.
“It’s not something that can be done just because someone tells you. Please contact me when you realize it.”
As I left the restaurant and got into my car, my cell phone rang.
This is Chairman Hong. This old man seems to be smart too.
“yes. President.”
I called first, but it seemed difficult to open my mouth. I just held the phone without saying anything. It is his responsibility to say what must be said.
– … Anyway, our Hanseong Ilbo… I will leave it up to you.
