Chapter 183 – Going to the Olympics.
Entering March, I had Young-hee noona go to work at ‘Good World’.
Since the development of the drug had not been completed yet, I told my sister Young-hee to start with the general affairs team and select delivery personnel and factory workers.
Young-hee noona thought that becoming the president of ‘Good World’ would be a little less difficult than before, but she grumbled that she was in charge of organizing the company, executing funds, and recruiting people.
First of all, the company organization decided that Young-hee sister would be in charge of the budget and accounting as the president and general affairs team, Young-rae would be in charge of the sales and office team as team leader, and Dong-gu would be in charge of the factory team.
I was anxious because Young-rae and Dong-gu were still young and had no social experience, but I threatened to cut them off anytime if I didn’t do well, and I asked Young-hee noona to never look at me as my real sister.
‘Good World’ allowed Heekyung Distribution to own 80% of the shares and Younghee noona to have 20%.
And seeing that Young-rae and Dong-gu work, they decided to share 10% each later.
Young-rae and Dong-gu said they would give their lives to work when I told them that I would share the shares.
A wet tissue company was established like this while Aunt Jeong-hee was at the postpartum care center, and Soo-young noona graduated from high school.
And this time, I properly applied for the GED in April.
Some time after Sooyoung noona graduated, she finally got a job in a movie.
Of course, she wasn’t the main character, she was a minor role, but it was surprising that Suyeong noona was not affiliated with any entertainment agency, and yet she was invited.
I had heard so many bad things about entertainment agencies in the future, such as sexual favors and slavery contracts, so I had no intention of putting Kyungmi or Sooyoung in an entertainment agency.
However, it was also an unavoidable reality that Kyung-mi and Soo-yeong could not grow up if there was no company to support them.
Come to think of it, it could be said that it was like a miracle that the film company contacted Sooyoung noona this time.
While thinking about what to do, I contacted Kwang-shik.
I told Kwang-shik hyung-nim about Kyung-mi and Soo-young noona.
And this time, Soo-young noona asked her what she would like to do when she was cast in a movie.
Kwang-sik hyung-nim simply suggested putting him into an entertainment agency.
She said that her younger siblings she knew were running an entertainment agency, and she would ask them to take good care of them.
I asked if there was any other way since entertainment agencies are not willing to be honest, and Kwang-sik hyung said he would find out and contact me.
The next day, I got a call from Kwang-shik hyung, and he introduced me to a person.
Originally, he was a younger brother who was active as an action leader in an organization other than the Chun-shik faction, but once there was a war between organizations.
Before the war on crime, he turned to an entertainment agency that gangsters used to do, and was a fairly successful person, but it was said that he was disintegrated in mid-air due to misuse of sexual entertainment at the agency.
So he introduced me, saying that he knew the bottom physiology very well and had good connections in the existing broadcasting industry, so it would be okay.
After hearing what Kwang-shik said, he seemed like a pretty decent person, so I immediately contacted him and made an appointment to meet with Kyung-mi and Soo-young noona.
A few days later we met him at a coffee shop downtown.
I told Kyung-mi and Soo-young noona to prepare to look pretty because I have an important appointment today, and I was nervous in a situation where I didn’t know who I was meeting.
At the first meeting, he saw me and suddenly bowed at 90 degrees and said hello.
Even though I was very young, when I received such a greeting, I was embarrassed and bowed down to say hello.
Kyungmi and Suyeong noona, who had been nervous for a while, came out and looked at him with puzzled expressions when a gangster-looking person came and greeted me politely.
“Hello, my name is Kim Doo-shik. I’ve heard a lot about Mr. Seongjin is already a legend in our side.”
When the gangster who introduced himself as Kim Doo-sik told me that I was a legend, I, Kyung-mi, and Soo-young noona were dumbfounded.
“I heard from Kwang-sik hyung that Seong-jin has excellent skills, and rumors are already spreading around here. There is a rumor that Mr. Seongjin annihilated the Gwangseong faction and saved a certain lady. Is that true?”
He was a really simple, fiery person.
At the first meeting, he was reckless and only asked his own words and questions.
However, it was only then that I understood why Kim Doo-shik said such a thing.
Apparently, when Kyungmi was kidnapped by the Kwangseongpa, they said they would deal with it quietly, but it seemed that rumors had spread from the members of the Chunshikpa.
I was just laughing as if I was embarrassed, but suddenly, Kyungmi laughed loudly and spoke.
“You know that story too? Actually, that girl is me. When I was kidnapped by a person called a poisonous snake, my brother showed up, wiped it all out, and saved me.”
Kim Doo-sik was surprised when he heard that the person involved in the legendary incident was Gyeong-mi, and shook Kyung-mi’s hand, feeling happy as if he had met her lost sister.
Gyeongmi briefly told the situation at that time to see if she liked Kim Doo-shik.
Kim Doo-sik said he was surprised and admired it, then smiled and asked Kyung-mi questions about what made him feel so good, chatting about the situation at that time.
I heard that Soo-yeong noona was kidnapped and that I saved her, but when I heard the story in detail, I forgot why I was here and put on an excited face and focused on the story.
When the listener listened to the story so seriously, Kyung-mi started talking while salivating, and Kim Doo-sik and Soo-yeong noona were also concentrating on the story with their eyes shining, so I couldn’t stop it.
When the story of Kyung-mi came to an end, only then did Kim Doo-sik, Kyung-mi, and Soo-young noona speak in unison, and I could barely get to the point.
“Hey boss…”
“Older brother. Just call me dushik. It is an honor to meet such a legendary person. I also watched the boxing match held in Thailand this time. You are really great. I respect you.”
Kim Doo-sik was already completely in love with me because of Gyeong-mi’s adventure story.
“No. How could that be? You’re older than me…”
“What does age matter? I respect him and would like to take him as my older brother. Even if you see me like Kim Doo-sik, once you treat me as your older brother, I won’t betray you until I die. Please accept me as your little brother.”
I, who has a normal mindset, couldn’t possibly deal with Kim Doo-shik, who had this abnormal mindset.
Kyeong-mi and Soo-young noona were laughing round and round while watching my bewildered appearance and the current situation with excitement.
I couldn’t help Doo-shik Kim, who was almost burying his head on the table, and eventually said that he would understand and agreed.
“Ah! Thank you older brother. I will serve you faithfully in the future.”
“Ah.. No.. That’s not it. I have no intention of organizing anything like this. I just came out today because of Kyungmi and Sooyoung noona’s work here.”
“Ah! Yes? I will do it unconditionally. I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ll do it unconditionally.”
“No, do you know what I’m asking you to do?”
I really thought I couldn’t handle this person named Kim Doo-shik.
“Isn’t it because Kwang-sik hyung sent me because I can do it? I will do it unconditionally. So, Seongjin-hyung, hold on to your worries and make me do anything. And let go of your brother. I am your brother now.”
“Ah~ Ha~ Ha~ That.. That’s.. I’ll do that when we get to know each other. Your personality is really annoying.”
Now I was in a situation where I was on the verge of Kim Doo-sik’s tremendous stone fastball attack.
However, the first impression of Kim Doo-shik was not bad.
No, unlike his appearance, he seems to have deep thoughts, and he seems to be quite reliable, so I was relieved.
I told her that Kyung-mi and Soo-young had just started modeling, and that she had recently landed a small role in a movie.
Still, Kim Doo-shik said that he had been keeping an eye on the two of them in magazines and advertisements for our company, probably because he ate jjambab at an entertainment agency, and he even knew the personalities of Kyung-mi and Soo-yeong to some extent.
I said that I didn’t want to put the two of them in the entertainment agency, and just wanted to be able to work independently like now.
Then, Kim Doo-shik laughed heartily and shouted out loud that he would take care of it himself, and not to worry.
Kim Doo-shik skillfully began to tell the story, as if he knew what we were going to talk about today.
He said that he would be the exclusive manager of Kyungmi and Sooyoung noona, and would be in charge of everything from schedules to public relations.
And he said that he would hire a coordinator he knew and make-up and leave Kyung-mi and Soo-young in charge.
Also, Suyeong-noona’s acting studies were also said to be made by her own schedule.
Kim Doo-shik, who had been focusing on Soo-young’s older sister, suddenly said that Kyung-mi should also become an actress in the future, and he told her to take this opportunity to study acting with her.
Kyung-mi, who was sitting next to her and listening to Kim Doo-sik’s story, also came to study her acting at the request of Kim Doo-sik.
I gave my tongue to Kim Doo-sik’s driving force and professional appearance, and in return, I offered him a monthly salary of 5 million won.
He also presented a dedicated car for Kyungmi and Sooyoung and the salary of exclusive coordination and makeup.
Considering that the monthly salary of a manager at a large company at the time was about 2.5 million won, it was a really absurd amount.
Kim Doo-sik made his eyes grow so big that they popped out, and he shouted ‘thank you’ loudly, then lowered his head.
I was embarrassed to see Kim Doo-sik like that, so I had no choice but to tell him to raise his head quickly.
When I said that I would provide a dedicated manager with dedicated coordination, makeup, and even a car, Kyung-mi and Soo-young noonas were moved, and they were in an atmosphere where they would hug me right away.
In this way, Kyung-mi and Soo-yeong noona gained wings to spread forward, and later I set up a company for these two people with Kim Doo-shik.
Kim Doo-sik is also resourceful, so he soon got a small role in a drama for Kyung-mi to appear in.
And for Kyungmi and Sooyoung noona, they hired a fairly famous mid-level actor to make sure they studied acting.
Kim Doo-shik was also paying attention to Kyung-mi’s schoolwork, which is now in her second year of high school, and first of all, since Soo-young’s older sister became an adult, she set up a schedule and moved around.
Not long after, Kim Doo-sik’s ability was really outstanding, as he got Kyung-mi and Soo-young’s sister not only advertisements for our ‘Kim Hee-kyung Food’ but also advertisements for other companies.
I felt like I could be at ease with my sisters Kyung-mi and Soo-young.
Entering March, the election campaign for the general election was heating up.
However, Chairman Chung Joo-Hyun’s party through the party was hit by a bomb called Park Jeong-eon, and even a cold atmosphere was spinning.
Every day, Kim Hyun-sam’s side continued an intense criticism against Park Jeong-eon, and Park Jeong-eon was constantly being called to the prosecution.
Newspapers and broadcasts were broadcasting articles about Park Jung-eon almost in real time.
Certainly, he could feel that the pendulum of power was leaning toward Kim Hyun-sam.
Even though he was the president’s right-hand man, Park Jeong-eon, the fact that the press was attacking to such an extent that it seemed excessive meant that the president’s lame duck was already serious, and to some extent, it was the same as the press was appointing Kim Hyun-sam as the next president.
As the media made a mess of Park Jeong-eon, Park Jeong-eon had no choice but to be a hot potato from the perspective of the United Party.
It was because I felt sorry for the Hanja Party lawmakers who had followed Park Jung-eon to throw it away, and it seemed that I would not be able to enjoy it in this general election if I carried it.
One day, with less than a week left before the general elections, another nuclear bomb exploded in the tense United Party.
It was the corruption case of Congressman Seong-ryeol Kim’s preferential treatment for his children.
Rep. Kim Seong-ryeol, a third-term middle-ranking member of the National Assembly who followed Park Jeong-eon, was a fairly reliable loser in the General Election.
Chairman Chung Joo-hyun felt like his stomach was about to explode.
Obviously, even when it was founded, it caused a sensation in the general election and was aiming for the presidential election in the aftermath, but the lightning continued to fall.
Even when Park Jeong-eon, the most powerful member of the Hanja Party, resigned from the party and joined hands with him, it seemed as if he could see the Blue House right in front of him.
However, no one could have imagined that that hand would be the one that would lead him to hell.
In this situation, with less than a week left before the general election, Park Jung-eon was rotting a headache, but the sudden corruption of Congressman Kim Seong-ryeol’s son preferential treatment broke out, and the party was once again disgraced.
The fatal blow of corruption broke out that Congressman Seong-ryeol Kim distributed money and goods to executives of the Boxing Association and exerted pressure as a member of the Sports Subcommittee of the National Assembly.
As the investigation into Rep. Kim Seong-ryeol was conducted, it was revealed that he had received money from businessmen and that he had scattered money and other valuables during the last National Assembly election.
Due to the intense investigation by the prosecution, Congressman Kim Seong-ryeol was deprived of his membership as an incumbent member of the National Assembly and was arrested.
The data submitted by Kim Hyun-sam to the prosecution was too specific, and Chairman Jung Joo-hyun, who was distracted by the Park Jeong-eon incident, was unable to help.
Of course, the biggest reason was that Kim Hyun-sam was directly putting pressure on the prosecution, so the prosecution was able to come out strong amidst other external pressures.
The region where Congressman Kim Seong-ryeol ran was likely to be elected by the United Party, but now that Congressman Kim Seong-ryeol was arrested, the region naturally went over to the Hanja Party.
Due to Kim Hyun-sam’s timely attack, at least two more seats were handed over to the Hanja Party than in the original history, and the position of Hanja Party president, which had been in jeopardy after the general election, was now completely solidified by Kim Hyun-sam.
The reason why Kim Hyeon-sam was able to attack Park Jung-eon and Kim Seong-ryeol in a timely manner was because of the advice I gave while passing through materials at Kim Hyeon-sam’s house.
I told Kim Hyun-sam about the method and timing at that time, and Kim Hyun-sam acted as he did this time, printing out Park Jeong-eon and Kim Seong-ryeol, making the Hanja Party the number one party, and of course making himself the number one presidential candidate.
As the general election ended with the Hanja Party’s overwhelming victory, President Kim Hyeon-sam continued to be exposed on TV.
Perhaps it was already preparatory work for the next presidential election.
We could see the appearance of a seasoned politician who has gone through all the battles in the way he always wears his unique Hahoe Mask smile and leisurely takes care of his party members and members of the National Assembly.
Now, the next president was no different from Kim Hyun-sam.
While watching Kim Hyun-sam on TV, I was diligently calculating when and how much money I should give for the presidential election.
