The Chairman Who Doesn’t Regret Episode 92 – The Butterfly Effect (2)

Kyungseon Group’s mansion.

Choi Tae-woong and his father, Chairman Choi, were sitting on the sofa together watching the 12th National Assembly election results broadcast on TV.

“This general election is coming up quickly, Father.”

Chairman Choi laughs at Choi Tae-woong’s question.

“Huh, it looks like they’re getting impatient up there. It’s usually done in the spring, but seeing them rushing like this, the general election before the Lunar New Year even passes… It seems like the end is in sight.”

Choi Tae-woong nodded, looked straight at the chairman, and said.

“Rather, wouldn’t it be possible to interpret it the opposite way?”

“on the other way?”

“The power to manipulate election day as one pleases, that kind of thing is alive and well.”

“That’s an interesting interpretation.”

“Because that’s what we’re actually doing.”

Chairman Choi nodded and lifted one corner of his mouth.

“You’ve grown a lot.”

“Thank you, Father.”

“But there is something to keep in mind.”

“I will listen.”

“A wounded beast cannot rise again unless it overcomes adversity. There are too many people who want that position.”

Choi Tae-woong, who thought about what his father had said for a moment, nodded.

“Yes, in that sense, the current administration has too many scars.”

“Yeah, it must have festered to the point where it could have. So isn’t that why they’re advertising that they’re hurting so openly? There’s not much left.”

“okay.”

“The last flame is hotter, so be more careful for the time being.”

“Yes, father.”

While the conversation paused for a moment, the TV was broadcasting about the Gyeongnam region, and in particular, 12 constituencies in Busan.

“oh my god.”

Chairman Choi was surprised, and Choi Tae-woong was also surprised.

“Tsk tsk, this is completely watered down.”

“Yes… I know it will be very uncomfortable.”

“As expected, the end is the end.”

“There was also a report that it was because of Representative Kim who returned to the country not long ago.”

“Yeah, I guess so… I guess we can’t say that there aren’t any at all, since 5.18 hasn’t been made known to the world yet… Taewoong-ah.”

“Yes, father.”

Chairman Choi spoke seriously.

“S- I guess we should consider other routes. Do some research on who the next runner will be.”

“Yes, Father, I will pay close attention.”

“Yeah, by the way, the Imperial Group is in big trouble too.”

Choi Tae-woong tilted his head and asked.

“Is there another problem with the Imperial Group?”

“You can’t just sit still, since you only secured 3 seats out of 12 in Busan?”

“Even if the Empire Group is in Busan… how can the people follow the will of a company?”

“You just need an excuse. Are there any members of the National Assembly who admit their mistakes?”

“So you’re saying the arrow is headed that way?”

“Yeah, I heard you even gave me an excuse.”

“Do you even have a justification? What is this…?”

Chairman Choi nods and continues speaking.

“They say Chairman Yang ignored Tank’s call because he was doing business.”

“Wow- You really are a great person.”

“So you weren’t a good person?”

“Father, how far do you see it? How far do you think the Imperial Group will go?”

“We’ve blocked up all the banks, so if we get caught up in something else and fall… we’ll be a lot smaller.”

“Would you really do that? You must have quite a few dependents.”

“The tank will burn its last flame, and I will know that my end is coming.”

Choi Tae-woong nodded slightly, realizing that Chairman Choi’s words contained a warning.

“Yes, I won’t talk nonsense.”

“Okay, and now that you’re starting to get married, it’s time to look for the next runner. Take an interest in that too, a man needs a strong supporter.”

“Ah… yes.”

Chairman Choi clicked his tongue, stood up from his seat, and tapped Choi Tae-woong on the shoulder as he spoke.

“I believe.”

“Yes, father. Take a rest.”

“okay.”

As Choi Tae-woong watched his father walking briskly to his room, he couldn’t stop thinking about Jeon Kang.

I heard from Jeon Kang that the Imperial Group was in danger, and I think the general election was mentioned in passing, but was it just his imagination?

He thought of a good excuse and decided to go to the training center tomorrow for the first time in a long while.

**

Inside the counseling room.

My little sister, who is nervous but has sparkling eyes, expresses her determination.

“Today will be different from yesterday! I’ll finish it in three hours!”

“indeed.”

“Shoot! Give me the problem!”

I can’t help but laugh at the three-hour long effort. Is it really possible? Just as my sister’s determination and her mind are different from yesterday, the problems I prepared are also different from yesterday.

Chorus.

Pieces of paper fall and scatter across the table.

“What, what! Why are there so many!”

“50 questions today.”

“Hey! You crazy···”

My little sister swallowed her words and glared at me sharply, as if she had realized that this was a training center.

“There are only a few days left, we have to prepare by tomorrow and start filming the day after tomorrow, we have to go to Sparta.”

“What is Sparta!”

“You have to work really hard.”

“Hey!”

“I can’t go home today until I put all the problems together.”

My little sister nodded her head vigorously as if to tell me not to worry and buried her nose in the table. While she was concentrating with her eyes so hot that they almost seemed like they were going to burn the paper, I looked through the English original book, wondering which philosophy book to read today.

dripping.

A knock was heard just as I was picking out a book.

“Assistant instructor!”

Bright voice.

Just by hearing her voice, I could tell that she was Kim Mi-hyeon from the information desk.

“Yes, Mihyeon.”

“Instructor David is looking for you.”

“Okay, I’ll be there soon.”

“yes-”

The moment I turned my head and was about to tell my little sister that I was going to go, my little sister waved her hand without even looking at me as if to tell me to go.

Looking at your burning desire to win, I’m sure you’ll be able to solve all of those problems today.

I carefully leave the counseling room so as not to disturb my sister’s concentration and open the door to the practical conversation class classroom, where Choi Tae-woong and David greet me.

I glanced at the time and saw that it wasn’t even 10 AM yet.

“It’s been a while, Assistant Instructor.”

“Yes, it’s been a while. You must be busy. What brings you here so early in the morning?”

“Hahaha, I haven’t even sat down yet, teacher.”

Should I just get to the point right away?

I smiled and sat down at my seat where coffee was prepared. It must have been prepared by the sensible Kim Mi-hyeon.

Of course, it would have been Choi Tae-woong who had business, not David. If David had business, he could have just come into the consultation room and talked.

“Horrorok.”

While taking a sip of coffee, I thought about why the second generation of a conglomerate would come looking for me so early in the morning, and the only answer was the general election.

It is a big defeat for Bald, and it is evidence that his end is near. Now, the opposition party members who have grown bigger will do their best to make his mistakes public and make them public, and somehow make him step down.

“It’s not like Gyeongseon is fighting with Blue Roof or anything, what are you so busy with?”

Choi Tae-woong flinched in surprise, but then said with an expression on his face that it was nothing.

“Haha, I just came because I was curious.”

“What are you curious about?”

“Didn’t the assistant instructor say at one point that Blue Roof would lose in the general election?”

“Was it like that?”

“I wonder why I thought that way back then – just out of pure curiosity.”

David also focuses on me as if he is curious.

“Isn’t it natural for things to rot if they are still? Since he is such a greedy person, how could he not know that his rotten smell vibrates everywhere?”

“Hmm.”

Is this too orthodox of an answer? Choi Tae-woong doesn’t seem to like my answer that much.

“Go out on the street right now. Isn’t it a strange world where you can see soldiers and riot police protesting once or twice just by passing a neighborhood or two?”

Choi Tae-woong tilts his head.

Perhaps he may not see any protests on the road he walks. After all, he lives a different life from the common people.

“Is that so?”

David chuckles at Choi Tae-woong’s answer.

“He doesn’t know, who would protest in that neighborhood? He’s being cautious, keeping an eye on the king’s mood.”

“Hmm, do you watch it a lot too, hyung?”

“Oh, I saw it on my way to work today.”

“I see.”

“Hey, it’s not on the news, but you go around university districts to promote your school. It’s chaos.”

“Is that all?”

“This is amazing.”

Choi Tae-woong nods his head.

“It seems that even if the media covers it, the visible evidence continues to be visible to the assistant instructor’s eyes.”

“Yes, that’s true. Don’t companies secretly know about it?”

Choi Tae-woong nods and smiles at the question, as if he already knew.

“Yes, well. Our information is different… By the way, the Imperial Group.”

Choi Tae-woong’s eyes shine strangely.

Was that the purpose after all?

Frankly, no matter what happened to the government, that wasn’t their concern. They were concerned about how to use the government, how to fill their stomachs more, what would taste better.

That’s probably what interests them.

“It’s the Empire Group.”

“I haven’t been feeling very well lately.”

“I guess that’s because you don’t like blue roofs?”

Choi Tae-woong looks at me with interest, as if he knew that too.

“You knew it last time, and you know it this time too, Assistant Instructor.”

I said with a shrug.

“Is this a consulting request?”

When I blurt out the main point, Choi Tae-woong nods his head with a small smile.

“I’m not here to consult, I just want to ask a few questions.”

Then he takes an envelope out of his bosom and hands it to me.

“In addition to the scholarship quiz prize money, I put in a little more.”

“It’s an information fee.”

“It would be good if you thought of it that way.”

“It’s too cheap.”

“Aren’t we business partners?”

“Well? Let me ask you some questions first and then decide.”

Choi Tae-woong nodded and asked.

“What do you think will happen to the Imperial Group?”

“Are you asking me about their fate?”

“Yes, I just wanted to hear your opinion.”

It wasn’t that great of information.

Depending on how you listen, it could be great information for some people. I reached out and checked the envelope first. The seed money was already drying up a little bit these days. If I could put in a bigger investment amount in the upcoming securities market, it would be much more profitable.

“Is it 300?”

“Yes, I will pay the same amount to your older sister. Of course, through the regular route.”

Currently, the construction of the shantytown is about 15 percent complete. This means that the amount of construction materials that will be coming in is not ordinary.

“Is this all I need to tell you?”

Choi Tae-woong says with a smile.

“When paying out the prize money through the traditional route, we will also add the assistant instructor’s share.”

“Then the information fee is 300.”

“Right?”

This is not enough.

If the dissolution of the Imperial Group is decided, the bald head will gather money from all over the place and hand it over to other companies one by one. If there is time to prepare in advance, how far can the primary election be brought?

“Hmm.”

It’s not a bad decision to pay off debt on the cheap, but I don’t really want to get involved in the primary.

While I was lost in thought for a moment.

The door to the conversation class opens urgently and my little sister comes in.

“Puppy!”

I’m not that kind of rude older sister.

My younger sister is more careful not to get cursed at by others outside, even though she nags and curses at me.

“What? What’s going on?”

And more than anything, I can feel the urgency on my little sister’s face.

“Sister, sister···”

The little sister’s voice is full of moisture.

Something happened to my older sister.

I jumped up from my seat in surprise, and David followed me.

“What’s going on!”

“Police station··· Police station···”

“Why, big sister?”

“Mom, I don’t know, Mom just kept crying.”

David quickly pats my shoulder and grabs my little sister’s shoulder.

“Okay, let’s calm down first and then let’s go.”

A police station.

My older sister, who lives without the law, is at the police station.

I don’t understand it at all.

Has anything like this ever happened to you in your life?

The police station of today was a barbaric place where they would charge people with crimes that they didn’t commit. It was no exaggeration to say that it was an extraterritoriality where women were often subjected to harsh treatment. I didn’t know about such a big deal.

Butterfly effect.

Could it be the jealousy of the heavens that envies my happiness?
