Chapter 316 – Part 2. 1993

In front of Jin So-ra’s house.
Jin So-ra did not get down, hesitantly, only looking at Seong-jin.

“Uh… Over there… Master. If you have time, would you like to stop by my house and have a cup of coffee?”

Jin So-ra’s eyes were those of a woman completely in love.
Seongjin almost said ‘yes’ to that look in his eyes.

“Phew~ no. Let’s do it later when the time comes. Honestly, I don’t know if we’ll ever see each other again.”

Jin So-ra’s face quickly turned sullen, and her tears welled up.

“Lord… Master. Um… Can’t you just take me back to the villa? I don’t want to live that life again. You have to watch the old guys… I’m tired of being a pimp. It’s okay to live like a dog, so I just want to live comfortably by the owner’s side and be loved by the owner without any worries. Yes? Can’t we?”

“That is hard. As soon as your absence became known, I started looking for you from high places. So go back to normal.”

Jin So-ra didn’t say anything, only her hands twitched and she shed tears.
Seeing such a pitiful appearance, Seongjin hugged Jin Sora in her arms.
It was Jin So-ra, who hugged Seong-jin tightly.

Seong-jin, who had been hugging her silently for a while, made an expression as if she had decided on something, and then she opened her mouth.

“Whew~ Okay. It’s sora No, Aunt Sora. Now let’s go back to the old days. When I get home, I also call my mother. Because you’re worried about your mother…”

It was Jin Sora who nodded her head.
But she still had a sad look on her face, wishing for something more.

“And now that it’s like this, Aunt Sora needs to do some work.”

Jin So-ra’s eyes widened.
It was a gaze that begged me to do something right away.

“Aunt Sora, from now on, record all the actions of high-ranking people, including Chairman Jang Kun-ho. Do you have any records of prostitution in the past?”

“No. No. At first, I thought of writing it down, but I didn’t even record it at all because I thought I would die if information leaked out. After all, they are the ones who have the power to put an end to such irregularities even if they are known.”

“Okay. I knew it. So from now on, when high-ranking people call Aunt Sora, record everything. And if you can record it, record it too… I’ll get you a small camera and equipment.”

“Yes. All right. Originally, I was going to stop doing that, but if the owner wants it, I will definitely do it. I will do it even if it means giving up my life.”

“Okay. Thank you. Especially in relation to the Jangseong Group, we must create data unconditionally. Jang Gun-ho is definitely not going to stay still like this.”

Jin So-ra nodded her head in agreement.

“I will send someone out today, so prepare thoroughly.”

“Yes. All right.”

Jin So-ra looked at Seong-jin with a vague gaze.
Seong-jin saw Jin So-ra like that and sighed, and then she hugged So-ra who was silent.

“Master. Maybe.. Poetry.. Are you not able to see the master now? Black…”

“No. See you again As long as Aunt Sora doesn’t betray you, I’ll meet you often.”

“Jung.. Really? Thank you.. Master.”

Jin So-ra lifted her face and was delighted, then she kissed Sung-jin on the lips.
Jin So-ra’s hand hugged Seong-jin’s back tighter.

Jin So-ra, who fell after kissing her for a while, still couldn’t get out of her car and hesitated.

“Get down now. I have to go to work too.”

“Uh… Can I contact the owners?”

“Haha. Okay. Call. Isn’t Sora’s aunt coming to see her mother anyway?”

Jin So-ra’s face suddenly brightened.
She replied that Jin So-ra knew, then she kissed Sung-jin on the cheek and quickly got out of the car.

So-ra Jin waved at Seong-jin’s car until it disappeared from her sight.

Jin So-ra saw her world completely different.
It seemed to her that at last she was delivered from all her sins.

And she gritted her teeth.

‘Jang Gun-ho… You bastard. I never stand still.’

Seong-jin dropped Jin So-ra off and went straight to her securities company.

When she arrived at the president’s office, she called the head of the special security team, Song, and ordered So-ra Jin to set up her secret recording equipment instead of sending a bodyguard to the villa.

After Sung-jin finished the call, the president came in as if she had been waiting.

“Phew~ President, it’s already been 10 days, but now we’ve managed to collect 4%.”

“You are suffering a lot. Foreigners also do not have stocks in over-the-counter transactions?”

“Yes. Almost none. We buy everything from time to time. Do you have any potential for stocks owned by the National Pension Service, which you mentioned last time?”

Seongjin recalled that she had met the chief of political affairs yesterday, and smiled at the president.

“Whoops. Just wait a little bit. We may have good news.”

“Oh~ For some reason, judging from the look on the president’s face, it seems that things have been resolved.”

“Nothing has been decided yet. Therefore, the CEO, please pay more attention to the purchase of stocks of Jangsung Electronics. And you must never let Jangseong Electronics notice.”

“Yes. All right.”

She talked about her stock trading for a while, and when the boss left, Sung-jin turned on her monitor and started looking at her graphs.
Suddenly, Sungjin’s cell phone rang.

“Yes. I am Seongjin Lee.”

[Seongjin-gun flying bird. Blue House Chief of Staff for Political Affairs.]

“Ah~ Chief, how are you? Why did you call me all morning?”

[Whoops. Didn’t you say you were giving a gift yesterday?]

“Yes. It is, but…”

[Look at the newspaper tomorrow. A plan for a new national road network will be announced. And as the first construction, the Incheon Expressway bidding will be held in the second week of August. If Mirae Construction, owned by Seongjin-gun, participates in the Incheon Expressway tender, good things will happen. Haha.]

“Ah, thank you. By the way… What did I tell you yesterday?”

[Ah! Are you talking about the stocks of Jangseong Electronics owned by the National Pension Service?]

“Yes. That’s right. Not only Jangsung Electronics, but also all stocks related to the Jangsung Group.”

[Haha. This friend is a friend who will make a big deal out of it. It’s not that easy. Isn’t it possible to recklessly sell the stocks of chaebol companies?]

“Ah, you are saying that it is difficult.”

The strength in Sungjin’s voice was drained.
She had hoped for just in case, but when she heard that it was difficult, she collapsed.

[Haha. Who said it was hard? I told the president yesterday. And permission fell.]

“Yes? Is that true?”

[Haha. That’s right. I don’t know what you’re trying to do with the Jangseong Group, but the president said he’s sorry he couldn’t help you directly. So, please give me detour support like this..]

“Thank you. Chief. Thank you. I will never forget this grace.”

[Okay. I’ll remember those words So make a good report on the school lunches I mentioned yesterday and send it to you.]

“Ah! Yes. All right. We will send it to you as soon as possible.”

[Okay. Got it. Then, pray for luck..]

Seongjin finished her phone call, clenched her fists and screamed.
Sungjin immediately called her president and secretly contacted the National Pension Service, and ordered her to take all the shares related to the Jangseong Group.

Seong-jin happily left her securities company and moved on to building her future.

I was surprised by Seong-jin’s sudden visit, but when all the executives were summoned, the company was agitated.
And the shocking news of the Incheon Expressway bidding followed, and the company was turned upside down.

Mirae Engineering & Construction, which was trying to grow into a conglomerate in anticipation of the construction of a semiconductor plant by Jangseong Electronics, was disappointed by the indefinite postponement of the plant construction by Jangseong Electronics.
However, the atmosphere suddenly turned into a banquet party when the word that it was possible to win a large-scale civil engineering project called the construction of a high-speed highway.

Everyone, including the president, started to move busily.
Immediately, a planning team was set up, and the most competent managing director took over and started due diligence right away.

There are now less than two weeks left until the bidding.
To be honest, it was difficult to take on this job with Mirae Construction’s capabilities.

However, once the bid passed, it could be subcontracted or whatever.
It’s hard to win a project like this, so if you want to do it, why can’t you?

Furthermore, in the case of civil engineering, the know-how was already shared among the construction companies to some extent.
It is said that Hyundai E&C is a solo player, but many construction companies that subcontracted under it have learned the know-how and built companies, so their technology has been leveled to some extent.

The second construction company acquired by Mirae Construction was one of those companies.
Even though they are mainly building houses now, it was a place where such a large civil engineering project could be done if enough capital was supported.

Seong-jin frantically gave orders and executives ran around excitedly.

Seong-jin returned to Heekyung Distribution after ordering to keep secret that Mirae Engineering & Construction was participating in the bidding.

When Seong-jin stopped by Kim Hee-kyung Foods to see her mother, her mother seemed very happy.

“Mom, what are you doing?”

“Huh. Sungjin. I got a call from Sora earlier. The girl suddenly felt a slump, so she went on a little trip by herself. At least contact me.. I was so worried.. But the mean girl.. Anyway, I’m glad nothing happened.”

It was about Jin So-ra.
Seong-jin swallowed her bitter smile inside her, and said that it was fortunate for her and matched her mother’s mood.

“Sora decided to come visit soon. But I have to take good care of my one and only friend. When So-ra comes, she should serve me something delicious. How stressed would she have been on the trip without a word?”

Seeing her mother take care of her gin conch without knowing anything, Seong-jin thought it was good for her not to say anything.
Seong-jin also liked how her mother smiled like a girl without any worries.

Seong-jin thinks that she needs to be more careful with Kyeong-mi and Jin So-ra, and she starts taking care of Kim Hee-kyung’s pizza, which she hadn’t been paying attention to.

Kim Hee-kyung’s pizza, which has been open for a month now, also received an explosive response as expected by Seong-jin.
The price is the price, the taste is the taste, the store atmosphere is the atmosphere.. There was nothing to criticize.

Moreover, the popularity of Park Hee-seon, who was newly put into advertising, was rising rapidly.
Since she was such a pretty Park Hee-seon, she thought it was a natural result.

In just one month, there were more than 50 requests for Kim Hee-kyung’s Pizza franchise.
As a result, her Jung-ah had to work so busy that she couldn’t keep her mind.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jeong-hee from Kim Hee-kyung’s Rice Cake Skewers was helping out a lot, so at least things were going well for her.
Aunt Hyo-seon appeared at the company in the early stages of her pregnancy, but it was at such a level that only her face was reflected.

Seong-jin said that if she hadn’t brought Jung-a, she would have been in trouble.

Looking at the busy office, Seong-jin thought to herself that she should move her office quickly and that she should replenish her staff with Kim Hee-gyeong’s pizza team.

Heekyung Distribution was also busy, and it was almost a sail market.
Heekyung Distribution seemed to be three times as busy as Kim Heekyung Food, as a new cheese factory was built in Imsil and a POS computerized system was also distributed to affiliates.

Heekyung Distribution had more employees than Kim Heekyung Foods.
This place also had to expand quickly and hire additional personnel.

Taesan was really what Seongjin had to do.
Still, Seong-jin could laugh at the fact that things were getting better day by day without any major accidents.

Next day.
The news that 3,000 kilometers of new national highways and national highways will be built by 2020 was widely announced.

Jangseong Electronics Chairman’s Office.
A loud voice suddenly erupted.

“Does this make sense now? We prepared this with great care and attention for a long time… Ask the construction company president to come in right away.”

Chairman Gun-ho Jang was shouting at Chief Kim with an angry face.

The Incheon Expressway was a project that was being prepared by forming a consortium of 10 construction companies, including Hyunjin Heavy Industries, Dongha Construction, and Bosco Development, led by Jangseong Construction.
It is an enormous project with a whopping 1.46 trillion won in project cost alone.

For this project, Jangseong Construction obtained information from about six months ago, started research and development such as predicting vehicle demand, and even agreed with the rest of the construction companies to inflate the project cost by 40%.

In addition, they had already lobbied government officials and had even finished pre-arrangement, promising that the government would compensate up to 90% of the predicted demand if the traffic volume was lower than the data submitted by the consortium.
It was also an act worthy of a large company that never lost money.

However, in today’s government announcement, all of this has been turned upside down.

The consortium was to be formed with the top 10 construction companies through open bidding.
In a word, this was no different from trying to get Jangseong Construction out of business.
