Chapter 110 – Dropping Out of School.

Today, after going to school only in the morning and leaving early, I was in the middle of talking about franchising with Mrs. Jeong-hee, when Seong-ryeol hyung, who I always talked to on the phone, came to my office in my mother’s store.

“Ah! Brother, welcome.”

I greeted Sungyeol hyung who came in after saying hello.

“Jeong-hee, I’m going to talk to you, so get me some coffee and move away.”

She was staring at Aunt Jeong-hee, who answered lightly and left, with a surprised look on her face that Seong-ryeol saw her beauty.

“Hey! Who is Sungjin? She is absolutely beautiful.”
“Never mind. I am a married woman with two children.”
“Ugh~ Is that face a married woman? I thought you were a young girl who had just graduated from high school.”

I was a little proud of Sungyeol-hyung’s words, so I just laughed.
The woman who is so pretty that the eyes roll around like that is my woman.

When Aunt Jeong-hee poured her coffee down and left, Seong-ryeol took out a box of finished chitosan products and Rangwa materials from her bag.
While checking the materials with Sungryeol-hyung, I shared opinions on how to recruit members, how to use members of the organization, and how to advertise.
Of course, most of the time I just talked and Sungyeol-hyung listened to or wrote down.

“By the way, Seongjin-ah, to be honest, there might be some kids under her who don’t want to work in the company. I am worried that they will not be able to adapt to working at a company because they have lived a very rough life. What if they come out like that? You can’t just hit me.”
“Hmm. There is a way. Then, sooner or later, we will create a place where the whole group can gather. Kwang-sik hyung also attends the event. Kwang-sik hyung is also thinking of starting a company. Younger siblings who say they don’t want to work at a multi-level company should be put under Kwang-shik.”
“Ah! Okay? Kwang-sik hyung also owns the company? It would be great if that were the case.”

I was in the middle of a conversation with Seongyeol-hyung when the phone suddenly rang loudly.
I answered the phone and it was Hyejeong.

“Sungjin. Seongjin-ah, it’s a big deal. Sobbing.”

Aunt Hyejeong was crying into the phone.
She had a hunch that something bad had happened and she asked Aunt Hyejeong where she was now.
Fortunately, Aunt Hyejeong was at her company’s office.

She hung up the phone and she told Seong-ryeol about Aunt Hye-jeong and said she had to go because something big happened to her and got up.
But Sungyeol-hyung also asked me to go with him, probably not feeling well.
Now that the pressure from the police has been relieved, I thought it would be okay, so I agreed and went to the distribution company in Sungyeol-hyung’s car.

When I entered her boss’s office, Aunt Hyejeong was trembling and crying.

“What the hell is going on, ma’am?”

When I approached and held Aunt Hyejeong’s hand, it was only then that Aunt Hyejeong looked at my face and found stability.
Then, suddenly, tears flowed down her face, and she fell on my hands and started crying.
Sungyeol and I had no choice but to sit on the sofa until Hyejeong’s tears stopped.

Upon hearing the news that I had come, Yeonghee noona opened the door and tried to come in, but when she saw Aunt Hyejeong crying, she stood outside the door looking in and wondering whether to come in or not.
I shook my head from side to side when I met Young-hee’s eyes while walking around, and Young-hee nodded her head, quietly closed the door to her president’s office, and went back to her seat.
After a while, Hyejeong stopped crying and opened her mouth.

“Sungjin. She said he was… Dead.”
“Yeah?”

I was really startled.
What the hell does this mean?
How could Uncle Chun-shik die when the Kwangseong faction was clearly inactivated?

“No. What do you mean, madam?”

Sungyeol-hyung, who was next to me, jumped up and asked loudly.

“I got a call earlier, but he died after being stabbed by another person in prison.”
“Hey~ you bastard bastards.”

Sungyeol-hyung gritted his teeth, held back his anger, and cursed like a growl.
Then he jumped up, walked to his desk, and called somewhere.

“Hey. Grow. Summon all the kids Boss passed away. It is a war with the Gwangseongpa. I’m leaving now, so gather all the kids.”

After hanging up the phone, Sungyeol-hyung immediately ran out.

“Older brother. Wait a minute.”

I called out from behind, but Sungyeol-hyung left the office without looking back.
I was angry as well.
My heart simmered as I remembered how I wish I had paid more attention.
However, now was the time to take care of Hyejeong and Kyungmi.

“Calm down, ma’am. What if I’m lost like this? We have to go quickly and find out what happened and recover the body.”

I grabbed my hand and shook the shoulder of Hyejeong, who was just sobbing.
Then Aunt Hyejeong took me in my arms and she sobbed even more.
He patted Hyejeong on the back and waited for her to stop crying.

When Hyejeong stopped crying, I went outside and called Younghee.
Young-hee, who came in with a nervous face, contacted Kyung-mi School and asked her to come quickly to her company.
Hearing that Kyung-mi’s father had died, Yeong-hee’s older sister became contemplative.

First of all, I comforted Hyejeong and made her put on her coat.
It was because I had to go to the hospital to check the body as soon as Kyung-mi arrived.
As I calmly explained the situation and told her what to do, Aunt Hyejeong nodded as if she had finally come back to her senses and focused on my words.

After a while, Kyungmi ran in crying.
As soon as she entered, she saw me and ran and hugged her and cried.
When Kyung-mi cried, Auntie Hye-jeong and sister Young-hee, who were in her office, started crying as well.

For a long time, I waited for the women to stop crying.
I asked Yeong-hee, who stopped crying first, to keep an eye on her so that there would be no disruption to her work, and took Hye-jeong and Gyeong-mi to the hospital.

After going into the morgue with Aunt Hye-jeong, checking the body’s face and taking over the procedure, they got a funeral home at a nearby hospital and prepared for the funeral.
At first, I tried to do a three-day market, but Kwang-shik, who came on the first day, strongly insisted on a five-day market, asking for time to take revenge on Gwangseongpa for three days.
Gwang-sik’s older brother called Kim Hyeon-sam and set off with his men to catch Park Gwang-seong of the Kwang-seong faction.

Since Uncle Chun-sik was an orphan, she had no relatives, so I ended up taking charge of the sangju.
But my mother, Aunt Hyejeong, the director, and even Gwangsik hyung-nim didn’t think it strange at all that I was in charge of Sangju.
As if it were natural, he told me to do it, and I had the experience of holding a funeral a few times in my previous life, so I was able to do things with ease, such as receiving guests, ordering food, making crematorium reservations, and selecting the charnel house.

In the meantime, members of the Chunshikpa gang searched the Kwangseongpa hideout to find the hidden ones, and tried to find Park Gwang-seong, but they could not find Park Gwang-seong, who had already fled to China.
As a result of searching the hideout, the remnants of the Gwangseong faction who were hiding were almost annihilated by the sudden attack of the Chunshik faction, and the biggest achievement was that they were able to catch Ki-cheol, the second head of the Gwangseong faction.
Chunshik faction found out through sub-head Gi-cheol that Park Gwang-seong had already fled to China, and made Kwang-seong-pa sub-head Gi-cheol a companion on the way to Uncle Chun-shik.
Kwang-sik hyung-nim reached out to China and asked them to find out where Park Gwang-seong was hiding.
It seemed highly likely that sooner or later Park Gwang-seong would be caught and drowned in the sea.

Kwang-sik hyung-nim asked Kim Hyeon-sam, so the police side was able to pass quietly.
Chunshikpa, who had been clamoring to catch Gwangseongpa for three days, gathered at the funeral hall on the fourth day, all wearing black suits.
Because Kwang-shik is still alive, everyone is solemn, so they were members of the Chun-shik faction who behaved cautiously.

Since the funeral was on the 4th day, there were no more guests, and only the members of the Chunshik faction were sitting and drinking.
Aunt Hyejeong and her Gyeongmi, exhausted from the 4-day funeral, told me to rest for a while in the back room, but Kwang-sik hyung-nim called me.

“Ruler! Fist.”

Then, the members of the Chunshikpa, who were drinking and chatting all over the place, shut their mouths and looked at Kwangshik.
I was standing next to Kwang-sik hyung, and I was in perfect order to the point where I was embarrassed.

“I have one thing to announce. As of today, our Chunshik faction is disbanding.”

Gwangsik-hyung paused a little and then declared in a calm voice.
All of a sudden, there was a buzzing sound from here and there.
Since Kwang-shik is still alive, I thought, of course, that the Chun-sik faction would continue. Also, as the Kwang-seong faction disintegrated, the southern part of Seoul was empty, and if it went well, the Chun-shik faction could occupy even the southern part of Seoul. It was

“Quiet. There may be people who are dissatisfied or who do not understand. However, this decision has already been supported by Chunshik. Before Chun-shik was arrested, he was determined to disband the organization. So we must now be born anew. Sungyeol come forward.”

Seongryeol-hyung got up from his seat and went to stand next to Gwang-shik.

“Now, our Chunshikpa will be transformed into a multi-level company called ‘Future Health’. And here, Seong-ryeol will be the CEO of the company. You guys should now be ordinary people working in multi-level companies. More details will be made available soon.”

When Seongryeol-hyung said hello, the organizers clapped, but everyone looked puzzled.

“And I will introduce one more person here. Some of you may already know, but this is my half-brother Lee Seong-jin.”

I also bowed my head in bewilderment and said hello.

“Here, Sungjin is the person who will make us eat and live in the future. Some people may not believe it, but Jang Gwang-shik guarantees that. The late Chun-shik brother also appointed Seong-jin as the next boss of the organization, and had already entrusted everything to Seong-jin. Therefore, if you see Sungjin here in the future, treat me like Jang Gwangsik. Got it?”

Although the members of the organization were looking more bewildered than before, at least one answer sounded roaring.

The booze that follows.
Kwang-sik hyung said that it was an organization disbanding ceremony, and he poured and drank alcohol to all the members of the organization.
I had no choice but to drink a glass from each member of the organization.
It was close to 100 people.
However, perhaps because of his strangely stronger stamina, he did not get drunk that much.

With the help of the organizers, they were able to transport the body to the crematorium the next morning.
Most of the members of the organization who wanted to follow him to the charnel house were sent back, and only the family, older brother Kwang-sik, and a few officials went to the charnel house and laid them down.
In the meantime, I started with the cost of the funeral home, paid for the food, took care of all the things to be sorted out, such as funeral supplies, and made sure that Aunt Hyejeong and Kyungmi didn’t care at all.
Seeing me handle my work, Aunt Hyejeong admired her elongation and sent her eyes full of trust.
