Chapter 317 – Part 2. 1993

After a while, the president of Jangseong Construction, who had arrived in advance and was waiting, entered the chairman’s office, and Chairman Jang Kun-ho cursed.

“Hey, you bastard. How the hell do you work? Even though the government changed its policy like this, you didn’t know? Aren’t you awake?… Go out quickly and cook the people in charge. You have to stick with this bidding at all costs. Okay?”

The president of Jangseong Construction only answered because his face turned white, then he lowered his head and hurriedly ran out.

Chairman Kun-ho Jang sighed and sat down on his chair.
Suddenly, Seongjin Lee’s face appeared in front of Chairman Gunho Jang’s eyes.

‘Isn’t this Lee Seong-jin, that bastard pressured the Blue House?’

Chairman Gun-ho Jang quickly pressed the intercom and called Seung-ho Kim.

“Chief Kim. Maybe Lee Seong-jin moved this. Find out. And if Lee Seong-jin moved… Blow it up in the press. Do you know about public opinion? I need to take this opportunity to show the government what to do.”

“Yes. All right.”

Chairman Gun-ho Jang’s eyes burned terribly.

Time passed frighteningly, and the second Tuesday of August became the public bidding day.

Seong-jin went directly to the bidding site, accompanied by Kim Chul-hyung, president of Mirae Construction, and his executives.
Even though we arrived early, the bidding area was crowded with many people.

I took a seat on one side and looked around the hall. The president of the country’s top construction company, who later became the mayor of Seoul and then the president, was also there.
Seongjin smiled, but he got up and went to say hello because he didn’t know what to do later.

Of course, that person had recently heard about Kwang-shik and me from the chairman, so he treated me very warmly.
And he made an appointment to eat some time soon.

‘Well.. It’s like an investment in the future.. Big..’

It didn’t matter what that person did to the country.
Seong-jin roughly knew what he was going to do later, so he was satisfied with helping him appropriately and being able to use it.

I greeted him and went back to my seat, but the people from Jangseong Construction were entering the bidding area.

How did you know it was Jangseong Construction?
Because Jang Jae-young was right there.

Perhaps Jang Jae-young was appointed as the managing director of Jangseong Construction.
Now that this is the first time he has appeared outside, he can see that Jang Jae-young is very nervous.

Seongjin just raised his hand and tried to pretend to know Jang Jaeyoung, but someone suddenly started talking to Seongjin.

“Hello? Seongjin Lee Mr. Long time no see.”

Seongjin turned her head and saw a beautiful woman smiling at Lee Seongjin.

“Yes? Yes. Hello. But I… Who are you?”

Although she looked slightly familiar, Seongjin couldn’t remember who the woman in front of her was.

“Oh! Have you already forgotten me? I’m sorry about this.”

Seongjin smiled and said that she couldn’t tell who the woman in front of her was, so she was very embarrassed.
Judging from the fact that she was at the bidding site, it seems that they did not just meet each other, but she had no memory of herself and… Was embarrassed.

“What. Maybe you don’t know. Because she only glanced at me for a moment. Let me formally introduce you. My name is Soyoung Kim. The person who uses the three characters Kim Hyeon-ja is my grandfather.”

“Ah! The person who brought tea from the Blue House then?”

“Yes. That’s right. Ho ho ho.”

When Seongjin reacted in surprise, Kim Soyoung covered her mouth and smiled brightly while looking at her Seongjin.

Her name is Kim So-young, she is 23 years old, and she has been called a genius since she was a child.
She was not short, about 166, and even though she was a model, she had a voluptuous body that made her believe.

Her breasts looked at least a B-cup, and what impressed her most was that she was wearing a tight black suit skirt.

Kim So-young said that even though she was only 23 years old, she was already an outstanding talent who even received her doctorate in the United States.
She was even so competent that it was rumored that working at the Blue House was her skill, not the privilege of being the president’s granddaughter.

When a woman who was so beautiful and even competent spoke to Seong-jin in a friendly way, she felt good about Seong-jin.

Seongjin greeted her once again and shook hands with Kim Soyoung.
She was also a beautiful woman, so her hands were very nice and soft.

“No. By the way, Soyoung, what did you come here for today? This is a bidding site for construction companies, so I don’t think there’s anything that would make Mr. So-yeong, the secretary of the Blue House, come out..”

“Ho Ho. I recently changed my position and became a political aide in charge of the land development work. That’s why I came to support the Ministry of Construction today. The project being implemented now is a very important project to prepare for the future of our country.”

“Ah… That’s right. I need to show this to Soyoung today. Haha.”

“Of course you should. How will she look good then?”

Seong-jin made a joke, but she was Kim So-young, who had a sense of humor.

“Yes? Hmm.. How can I do it for you? No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t seem like So-Young came here for nothing today…”

When Seongjin grinned, Kim Soyeong grinned too.

“After this, Sungjin buys dinner. How is it? I think it’s very cheap for one meal in the evening…”

“Are you really going to be okay with that? Of course I like it.”

Sungjin and Kim Soyoung were talking amicably for a while when Jang Jaeyoung’s voice suddenly came from behind.

“Hey~ Seongjin came to bid today too. But is the construction company capable of handling such a project?”

It was a thorny remark for some reason, but Jaeyoung Jang had a nice smile.
However, Jang Jae-young’s eyes were already scanning Kim So-young with greedy eyes.

“Uh? Older brother. Your brother is also here. I should have gone and said hello first…”

Sung-jin held out her hand to Jae-young Jang to shake her hand, but Jae-young Jang ignored Seong-jin and held out her hand to So-young Kim.
It seemed like an intentional act.

Perhaps she was taking her anger out on Seong-jin because the plan she had planned to dedicate her mother to Chairman Gun-ho Jang ended in failure.
Well, I did just that.
She invites her to a secret villa and treats her, and even pushed Park Hee-sun to Seong-jin, but things went wrong in the end…

“Hello? My name is Jang Jae-young of Jangseong Group. It is truly an honor to see such a beauty in a place like this.”

“Ah yes. Hello. I am Kim So-yeong, the Blue House political aide.”

Kim So-young lightly held Jang Jae-young’s hand with a firm smile, and she quickly let go.
When Jang Jae-young said that Kim So-young was the Blue House, her eyes flashed, and as soon as he removed her hand, her expression of regret passed by for a moment.

Jang Jae-young’s eyes rolled quickly.

‘Blue house? Isn’t she the president’s granddaughter, which was only rumored then?’

For a while, there was a rumor that a woman who was a genius among chaebol families and was the number one daughter-in-law with a huge premium as the president’s granddaughter was rumored.

Certainly, Jang Jae-young, like the son of a conglomerate, was quick-witted and quick to change his attitude.

“Aren’t you the granddaughter of the rumor I heard about?”

Kim So-young looked at Jang Jae-young with her surprised eyes.

She said, “I heard rumors that you are a genius and a great beauty, but seeing you in person like this, I think the rumors may have been a little lacking. Haha. If you have time today, how about a cup of tea with me?”

Jang Jae-young held up Kim So-young like a man in her manners as much as she could and acted friendly.
Seong-jin was dumbfounded at the thought of the father and son, but she didn’t step forward because Kim So-young wasn’t her lover, and it was like seeing her for the first time today.

She was just a pretty girl, but I heard that she felt a bit regretful that Jang Jae-young was attacking her like that.

“No. I’m fine. I made an appointment to have dinner with Seongjin here today. We’ll do it later when the time comes.”

Kim So-young politely refused, accompanied by her smile so that Jang Jae-young would not be offended.
However, when Jang Jae-young said that Seong-jin and Kim So-young had a dinner date, her eyes sank coldly.

‘Aww… Lee Seong-jin you bastard. Dare..’

Jaeyoung Jang was already thinking that she would definitely make her her own woman the moment she said that Kim Soyoung was her Blue House.
However, when the name Seongjin came out of Kim So-young’s lips out of the blue, she became angry.

Kim So-young ignored Jang Jae-young, who had lost her words, exchanged a few more words with Seong-jin, and then returned to the official seat in front of her.

“Hey Sungjin.”

“Yes? Jaeyoung hyung.”

“Are you dating that girl named Soyoung Kim?”

“No. Did you meet for the first time today?”

“Okay? Well, since we already promised today, I’ll just allow you to eat dinner. Never see you again?”

Sungjin was dumbfounded.
It was just absurd that Jang Jae-young acted as if a woman named Kim So-young were her own.

“Yes. Well I don’t care But shouldn’t you ask that woman first?”

“What? You’re the kid If I am, can I do that? Okay? How dare you speak arrogantly in front of the deficit of the Great Wall Group?”

Seongjin wondered what all these psychos were.
She looked like she was looking at Go Byeong-ho, so she didn’t want to deal with him anymore.

“Ah yes. All right. I’m going to go get ready. I hope you have good results too.”

When Seongjin turned her back on Jaeyoung Jang, Jaeyoung Jang’s eyes twitched.
She dared not let her go, but she turned her back on herself.

If this position were not a bidding site with other construction companies, Jang Jae-young would have punched Seong-jin in the back of the head right away.
Jaeyoung Jang went back to his seat, letting go of his anger.

The buzzing atmosphere was short-lived, but the bidding finally began.

The method was simple.
The section of the Incheon Expressway was divided into 10 sections, and 10 construction companies with the lowest construction cost were selected.

Sungjin spent 150 billion won.
Even if it was written higher, it was clear that Kim So-yeong would be selected among the 10 construction companies, but she still wanted to compete properly.

Mirae Construction’s construction capability could be on the cutting board, but now there is a bank called Mirae Mutual Credit Cooperative that can provide funds from behind, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

After the bids of the construction companies were over, construction department employees and Kim So-yeong went outside for a while, and everyone was talking loudly, wondering if they were curious about the results.

After a while, government officials came back.
And the results were announced.

Naturally, Sungjin’s Mirae Construction was selected as a consortium company.
However, an oddity occurred.
Jangseong Construction, which hosted the consortium just before, was eliminated.

From Jang Jae-young’s face to the faces of Jangseong Construction executives, the faces were crumpled.
The face of the president of Jangseong Construction was already red from the disobedience he had heard from Chairman Kun-ho Jang.

Seong-jin shook hands with the executives of Mirae Construction for their hard work and was about to leave after a brief exchange of greetings with the presidents of the construction companies who were to join the consortium.

My eyes met with Kim So-young, who had been looking at Seong-jin from afar.
After she finished, she asked to go to eat, but she seemed to be watching when she would move.

Kim So-young approached quickly.

“Are you done now? So, are we going to eat?”

Seongjin glanced back at Jang Jaeyoung.
She had fallen out of the bid, and she seemed to shoot lasers out of her eyes as the woman she had photographed was laughing and talking with Sung-jin.

“Are you sure you want to dine with me? Wasn’t it a joke? Of course I’m fine, but…”

“Oh. Why am I kidding? Naturally, she was determined to have dinner with Seong-jin..”

“Haha. All right. Then I’ll park my car outside and wait for you. Clean up and come out.”

Seong-jin greets Kim So-young and she leaves with the future construction executives.
She came out of the building and told the future construction executives to have a happy evening together, saying that they had an appointment, and said that Seong-jin parked his horse on one side of her parking lot and waited for Kim So-young.

As I was looking toward the entrance, I saw Kim So-young walking out of the room in a splendid manner.

Suddenly, Jaeyoung Jang grabbed Kim Soyoung’s arm and said something.
For some reason, Seongjin saw Jang Jaeyoung looking very sluggish, and her sigh came out.

She went and said she wanted to help Kim So-young, but how long had she been enemies with Chairman Gun-ho Jang?
She just watched from afar how So-Young Kim handled it.

Fortunately, Kim So-young said something strongly and she shook off Jang Jae-young, and without looking back, she approached Seong-jin in a straight line.
While Seongjin looked at Kim Soyoung, she looked at Jang Jaeyoung standing behind her.

Jang Jae-young’s eyes met.
Jang Jae-young’s face was horribly distorted.

Jang Jae-young was glaring at Seong-jin with a face that seemed like she would kill her.
Seongjin sighed at the thought of hurting Jang Jaeyoung for no reason.

“Have you been waiting long?”

However, Kim So-young, who had come to Seong-jin before she knew it, smiled brightly and looked up at her Seong-jin.

“No. I didn’t wait. Come on, let’s get on.”

Sungjin opened the passenger door, went to her driver’s seat and started her car.

While the car was leaving the parking lot, Jang Jae-young glared at Seong-jin until the end.
Seongjin also looked at Jang Jaeyoung for a moment and decided to just ignore it in an unavoidable situation.

‘Haa~ If you touch me again, this time… I’ll just kill you..’
