"Hmm..."
"What's wrong? Grandfather said you'd welco it with open arms, didn't he? Don't you know either?"
My father scrutinized my expression, trying to decipher the hidden aning.
"Oh, no. More than that, he ntioned sothing about selling sothing at a low price. I can't quite guess what he intends to give."
"Then, shouldn't you tell what you do know? I'm dying of curiosity."
"In my opinion, he's giving us people."
"People?"
"Yes. Sunyang Hospital is known for having many VIP clients. High-ranking officials and politicians are careful about their health, so they look for a top-secret hospital like Sunyang to maintain their confidentiality. And there are many celebrities as well."
"Ah...!" A low exclamation escaped his father's lips.
"Now, anyone who wants a special promotion or special treatnt will contact Father. It's a natural way to build connections. Father can take care of directors and lead actors during movie production at the Sunyang Hospital."
"What about the Human Resource Developnt Institute? Are those people too?"
"Of course. All the promotion candidates receive training at the developnt institute. Even though the institute's training evaluation doesn't guarantee promotions, it has a significant impact on avoiding demotion."
It is a well-known fact that Sunyang Group's talent managent is rigorous. Unlike other companies, where training might be considered a brief respite or even a vacation, the Sunyang Institute offers an intensive curriculum with seminars, debates, exams, and evaluations that rival a judicial training institute, leaving no room for gaps.
"Since everyone aiming to get close to the core of the group goes through the developnt institute..."
"People will be flooding father's phone, asking for favors, and that's how your network will expand."
"So as to build a network both within and outside the group."
"Yes. As you started late, this is a way to make gain influence as grandfather's son."
"You an your grandfather wants to create people, not you." My father began looking at with a sense of wonder as he spoke quietly. "How on earth can you figure this out? Your grandfather connecting the hospital and the institute with his network, and you grasping it all at once... I really have nothing to say."
Anyone who has received a salary from Sunyang Group knows the potential of the institute. To secure a simple promotion to assistant manager, you might spend ten sleepless nights in a four-person room with two bunk beds.
The middle-aged departnt heads endure even more. They enter a two-person room and have to digest a devilish schedule for the entire week.
If your stamina can't hold up, it's the end of your executive promotion dreams. You either stay as an eternal departnt head until retirent or submit your resignation.
At tis like these, if the Institute Director makes just one phone call? Even if it's just confidential instructions from the Institute Director, it can bring executives one step closer to their promotions.
Regardless of how lowly you may think of the institute, it is a pivotal position that allows candidates for executive positions in Sunyang Group, even if you only have ti to share a drink with them.
Only those who receive a salary from Sunyang know all of this.
Father, who has never once sighed at the numbers in his bank account, naturally wouldn't know these facts.
"You probably aren't interested, so I didn't ntion it. By the way, could you find out the ownership structure and assets of the Institute?"
"You want to check the current situation?"
"Yes. It seems like it's not just about networking. If that's all it was, grandfather wouldn't have told you to keep it a secret for now. There might be sothing hidden that the senior mbers would oppose if they found out, don't you think?"
"Are there more secrets hidden within the request to keep it a secret?"
"Grandfather is a man with many secrets, after all. Hehe."
My father let out a short sigh at my laughter. "Hmm... How did you end up resembling Grandfather more and not ?"
"Talents can skip a generation sotis."
My father sighed once more and got up. "Well, being a father is not an easy job."
"How was the wedding?"
"It's not like I'm the one getting married, what's the big deal? But how did it go?"
There's sothing more important than the wedding, and that's Dae-ah Construction.
"Chaebol families always attract curiosity when it cos to strategic marriages."
"Marriages that happen after seeing each other only a few tis, are those marriages? They're contracts."
"Oh, so you're not going for a strategic marriage? You won't be the typical chaebol third-generation marrying the Candy who lives a humble but determined life?"
"I'll marry the woman I need, no matter who she is. Uncle, why do you keep talking about other things? What about the Dae-ah Construction shares?"
"Child, when you get older, you beco curious about young people's dating and marriages. We're done with that." Oh Sehyun smiled and took out a note of the stock situation. "These guys seem flustered. They contacted as soon as I purchased 5% of the shares and declared myself a major shareholder. They want to et."
The securities market had completely frozen. Buying the shares of a company on the verge of bankruptcy in a stagnant market would naturally raise concerns on the company's side.
Moreover, the person who purchased the nearly worthless shares was Miracle, a giant investnt firm that had swallowed A-jin Group. They would be truly terrified if they had committed many sins.
"Should we et them?"
"Of course."
"How do you think they will react?"
Oh Sehyun squinted his eyes. "Leave it to . Do you think I haven't dealt with a couple of guys who tried to scam and escape with investnt money during my investnt career? Those guys who crossed , do you know where they are now?"
"They're probably in prison or living as ex-convicts, right?"
"Bingo!" Oh Sehyun snapped his fingers and picked up his bag. "Co on, let's go. We should play a round."
The main office of Dae-ah Construction in Yeongdeungpo felt colder than the winter weather outside. The employees inside the building commuted to work with heavy hearts, even though the company wasn't paying their salaries.
They knew the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, but they clung to a glimr of hope that they might still receive so paynt. It was the hope that kept them coming to work every day, even though their heads told them there was no hope left.
When they woke up in the morning, they had nowhere else to go but this building. The hope of receiving their overdue salaries pushed them forward, even though they knew it was unlikely.
