Chapter 64 – The Lightwave Conspiracy

I felt sorry to see Sungyeol-hyung walk away, holding an envelope of money and looking around.
I thought how great it would be if I could live by working righteously without being chased by the police.
Then, all of a sudden, I had a passing thought.
‘Squalene. Multi-level.’
As a few thoughts passed by, a picture was drawn in my head in an instant.

The 1990s was a time when a multi-level, Japanese life in Japan entered Korea in the late 1980s, and enormous social repercussions occurred due to pyramid fraud.
It was also the time when Amway Korea started operations in 1991, when the multi-level heyday unfolded.
It was a time when the multi-level marketing method became a pyramid scam in Korea, and it became a huge social issue such as jade sales, magnet yolk sales, product hoarding, mass suicide of ordinary people, confinement, and assault.
Behind the scenes, the activities of the gangsters played a very large role.
Squalene, which appeared in the late 1980s, has excellent oxygen supply, is good for blood circulation, and has a blood-purifying effect, so it became a sensational product and sold tremendously.
At this time, it was so popular that squalene became the best holiday gift.
Now, in 1990, the popularity of squalene was sky-high.
However, Yoo Byeong-eon, already known as the Samo Group, was holding onto this side tightly, so if he made a new entry, he was likely to become a latecomer.

“Excuse me. Sungyeol-hyung.”
I hurriedly ran and grabbed Sungyeol-hyung.
“Uh? Why?”
“You want to earn a lot of money, bro?”
“Uh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“I suddenly thought of an item where I could make a lot of money, but I wanted to make my brother earn money.”
Yoo Seong-ryeol was dumbfounded.
Even though he was a gangster himself, he was an adult who knew everything.
However, when a high school student who is only 17 years old now insists on making money, I honestly feel bad.
At least the director and Kwang-sik hyung trusted and cherished him, and he was the one who even delivered his mother’s hospital bills, so they just listened to him.
He looked at Sungjin with a slightly displeased face.
“Hyung-nim, you may be offended by the sudden talk. Did you see my mother’s stall earlier? Is the business going well? The rice cake skewers sold there were developed by me. The stalls are also something I bought for her mother.”
Seongryeol-hyung’s eyes widened and he had a look of surprise.
“If my brother listens to me, I will definitely make a lot of money.”
“Okay? What are you talking about?”
I dragged Sungyeol-nim and sat down on a bench in the corner.
“Brother, you can’t just run away. Anyway, how about starting a business and working there?”
After taking a break, I looked at Sungyeol-hyung.
“Let’s set up a multi-level company with your brothers and sisters. I will do the item selection. There are definitely items that will hit the jackpot. And I will provide the initial start-up investment funds. Don’t you know that you’ve heard about multi-levels lately?”
I spoke with Uncle Chun-shik’s slush fund in mind.
Since the money was collected from the Chunshik-pa business anyway, it didn’t seem too much to spend it for Seongryeol-hyung, the leader of the action.
Sungyeol-hyung heard about the multi-level, no, pyramid schemes that other organizations were doing.
“The pyramids you know about are scams, right? It attracts people and sells them strongly, distributes a little of the profits, and when they collect money, they rip it off and blow it away. But the way I’m talking about is multi-level in principle. The multi-level method is not a scam. It’s a proven marketing method in the US. What. Hoarding in the middle, and a bit of strong selling is at the level of aegyo. That’s it. It’s a matter for the elder brother and the younger siblings to take care of themselves. I’m going to tell you about an amazing item, so you’re multi-level with it. It’s not a trash item like a magnet or jade plate, it’s a really good, big hit item. How is it?”

Why would Yoo Seong-ryeol not want to work?
He learned stealing from a young age, and ended up becoming a gangster because he was only doing sports.
And since he had a short bag strap, it was difficult for him to do anything on his own.
In the organization, I didn’t go to school (?), I was doing well, and when I was over 30, I was planning to open a big raw fish restaurant and go out, but now I’m in a situation where I’m being chased like this.
“Are you really funding it?”
“Yes. As long as my older brother says he’ll do it, I’ll tell you the items and provide the funds. It will be difficult to move in Seoul right away anyway, so it won’t cost a lot of money since we’re opening an office in a small local city and recruiting members. There are too many people to work with, brothers and sisters, right? The younger siblings must be stuck somewhere and having a hard time.”
Sungyeol-hyung nodded his head slowly.
“Don’t worry too much, just do it. First of all, talk to the manager. And ask your brothers and sisters to find out about ‘chitosan’. Where it is being produced. Chitosan is also good for cancer patients. So be sure to find out for your mother.”

Yes.
What I am aiming for is ‘chitosan’.
Chitosan is a substance that is contained in crab shells and shrimp, and is good for strengthening immunity, blood circulation, and supplying nutrients to diabetic, paralytic, and cancer patients.
This product appeared in the mid-1990s as the quality of life gradually improved and interest in health increased.
Chitosan, aloe, etc. Appeared at this time and became extremely popular.
I was thinking of moving it forward a few years.
It is also thinking of creating a multi-level using gangsters and popularizing it nationwide.

The destructive power of multi-level using gangsters is quite strong.
Since they are people who treat people harshly, they are people who can easily pull in people around them and forcefully sell them.
If you’ve ever sat at a meat restaurant, you’ve probably seen big guys coming in to sell pineapples, holding a pineapple in one hand and showing off a taste of it in small pieces.
You may have seen 4-5 tables out of 10 buying pineapples due to the subtle strong selling.
Of course, I am not saying that all pineapple sellers are gangsters.

A smile came to my face as I thought that if I did well, I could hit the jackpot.
Sungyeol-hyung’s eyes also seemed to light up when he heard that chitosan was good for cancer.
“Okay? Good for cancer? I’ll look into that, chitosan. And I’ll contact you.”
“Brother, hide yourself first. For now, you have to be careful. Please contact me through the manager.”
“Okay. I get it.”
Sungyeol hyung carefully disappeared, and I went to the gym.

The next day, as soon as school was over, I just said hello to my mother and went straight to Aunt Jeong-hee’s house.
“Jeonghee is here.”
“Come on. Sungjin.”
Aunt Jeong-hee jumped out with tabi and greeted me.
“Where are the kids?”
“The children were left at the in-laws’ house. I’ve been at my in-laws since I started working.”
Aunt Jeong-hee said, Where did she go during the day? She wasn’t dressed as usual when she was doing business.
She was wearing a white blouse and a navy suit skirt with a lively silence followed line.
Her hair had been freshly permed, and her eyes and lips had been applied.
“Wow~ Our Mr. Jeonghee. Where did you go to the wedding? I am a complete career woman. Pretty. Pretty. Absolutely beautiful.”
I hugged her and patted her butt.
“How is it? Are you okay? Seong-jin said she was coming today, so she paid attention.”
“Eh? Where did she go?”
“Who gets married on weekdays? I just want to see you.”
“This lady? She has to earn money now. Is it time for her to play like this?”
“Since my sister is next to me, she doesn’t even hug me properly.”
“This this. It won’t work. Can’t you just ask her husband to give her a hug?”
When I talked about her husband, it was Aunt Jeong-hee who hardened her face and glared at her.
“Joy. You made it like this, and now you’re going to pretend you don’t know?”
“No. Not that. Okay. Come on.”
I hugged her and kissed her red lips.
Aunt Jeong-hee also wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me and kissed me passionately.
“Ha. Short of breath I love it. As expected, Sungjin is the best kisser.”
“Did you like it that much? But don’t you do it with your uncle?”
“Uh? Uh. I honestly don’t do well. Shall we do it once a week or not?”
“No. Why? Our Jeonghee-ssi is so hot.”
“You made it like this. I honestly have no feelings for my husband. I think of you every day.”
“It’s a big deal. Be nice to your uncle though. Because I’ll hug you like this sometimes Understand?”
“Whew~ that’s right. It’s fortunate that the housekeeping has improved a little lately. If not, I would have asked her husband to divorce her. I live with it because of the kids.”
“What kind of divorce? Could it be because of me?”
“Of course.”
Aunt Jeonghee rolled her eyes and said with a mischievous face.
“I really can’t. I can’t come here anymore Crazy, this lady. She’s divorcing her uncle, what’s next? Will you marry me?”
“Wow~ This man is completely hungry. Will you make me love you like this and not take responsibility for it?”
When Aunt Jeong-hee’s eyebrows went up, I slightly averted her eyes.
“No. That’s what I mean. But at my age, isn’t that a bit of a responsibility?”
“Oh. Look at our Sungjin being nervous. Of course it’s a joke. No matter how greedy I am, will Sung-jin, who has a bright future ahead of me, hold my ankle? The story that I’ve been thinking about divorce is because of my husband’s that bastard’s alcohol. I drink every day and come back late, so I’m going to die. So Sungjin, you should hug me often. I mean I’m lonely Understand?”
“Uh huh. It won’t work. Hee Jeong. I hate women who are soggy and clingy.”
When I joked, Aunt Jeonghee laughed along.
“I will take care of it as much as possible. Jung-hee is good to the uncle and the kids like now, and earns a lot of money. Understand?”
“Huh. Okay.”
“Wait for a sec. I’ll use the phone.”

I called my lawyer.
These days, I’m checking the progress while talking to the lawyer who was in charge of Mr. Chun-shik once a day.
So far, nothing special happened, it seemed like they were calmly being investigated by the prosecution and preparing for trial.
I said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Aunt Jeong-hee was watching me talk to the lawyer as if it were cool.
“I feel it every time, but how can our Seongjin be so trustworthy? Is this why I don’t fall for you?”
“Have you fallen for me, Jeong-hee?”
“You mean that? He’s tall, smart, and trustworthy. Besides, it’s big and powerful. He’s the perfect ideal man. Sungjin. Hug me.”
It was the lovely Jeong-hee Auntie, who came into my arms without saying a word.
