“Really?”
“yes.”
“Are you okay?”
“Even so, he is my son.”
In fact, I know that my father also feels sorry for my great aunt.
‘Adoptive parents are not common, but they are not uncommon in households that have them. If this happens, what will my grandfather give me······?’
As my mother said, even if I become my aunt’s adopted child, nothing much will change.
Because mom is mom.
My great aunt is my mother only on paper.
In return, I gain an additional great aunt who will be absolutely on my side, in addition to my parents.
“I need to tell my father about this and get something from Ji-seong.”
“You have changed.”
I felt like it was not my father but my mother who had changed.
‘A lot these days.’
My mother seems to have observed me and my eldest brother, Jihyeong, and felt that I was superior to my eldest brother, Jihyeong. And she also seems to have felt that my grandfather, who is the chairman of Samjeong Group and is like an emperor in this household, has a lot of interest in me and expectations of me.
‘So that’s why you made this decision?’
Do you think I can take everything from my eldest brother?
If that’s true, then it’s an absurd prediction.
But as I grow up, there is no reason why I can’t take away what my eldest brother could have if I put my mind to it.
No matter what anyone says, if you are born into a wealthy family, you are a competitor from that point on, regardless of your siblings. My mother also felt this keenly after marrying my father, so I think that may be the case.
If so, it’s mom who has changed.
“Because it has to be done for the sake of Ji-seong.”
“······yes.”
“Let’s go to Father.”
“Right now?”
“You’re waiting for an answer in the study.”
“Yes.”
“Jisung, you should go too.”
“To Grandpa?”
“huh.”
“Is it really necessary to take Ji-seong with me?”
“I want to go out and play.”
“Let’s play later and go to Grandpa. And ask Grandpa for a present.”
“why?”
“Because it’s time to receive a gift.”
“why?”
“Anyway, that’s true. But if Grandpa were to give you a present, what would you ask for?”
“I’ll think about it.”
“Okay, ask for a big gift.”
“huh.”
Now, you can just smile brightly.
‘Something that can be converted into cash right away······.’

The personal study of the Samjung Group Chairman.
“Thank you for making this difficult decision.”
“Misun should live happily too.”
“If only I could be like that too.”
“Yes, Misun was happy whenever she saw Jisung. I was going to tell her to consider adoption, but I think it’s a good thing if it’s a good thing. Blood relatives are better than strangers, and Jisung follows Misun well.”
“Thank you for thinking so.”
“Oh, oppa······ Thank you. Uh, unnie, I’m sorry and thank you.”
“I wish the eldest daughter could be a little happier. She’s been crying so much.”
“Thank you so much. Sob sob sob!”
“Auntie, why are you crying again? Don’t cry, you have Jisung.”
I wiped my aunt’s tears with my hands like bracken fern.
“Yeah, now my aunt has Ji-seong.”
My great aunt took my side.
“Father, this is entirely my and my wife’s decision. So please give Jiseong a gift.”
“gift?”
“Jisung doesn’t know anything right now.”
“I guess so. What kind of gift would be good?”
Now, depending on how I speak, my wealth will greatly increase.
‘What would be good?’
Before I came into this study, I thought I should get something that I could cash out right away.
But I was only ten years old and I felt like there was nothing I could do with the cash.
‘apple······.’
For a moment, Apple came to mind.
“apple······.”
I found myself mumbling the word “apple” without realizing it.
“Apple? An apple?”
“······yes.”
I didn’t know what to say in response, so I said yes.
This is my mistake.
“You want an apple as a gift?”
“yes.”
“Isn’t there much in the fridge?”
Grandfather showed a look in his eyes that said, “After all, the child is a child.”
‘I’m sorry, that’s ridiculous.’
It was too simplistic to say that Apple, which will become Samsung Group’s competitor in the future,
It’s not something you can change your family register just to eat an apple.
‘No, apples aren’t bad either. If it’s a big orchard.’
Like the orchard my grandfather had.
‘To be precise.’
It was on the news before.
The founder of Samjung Group heard that people used a lot of pesticides, so he bought an orchard to grow orchards without pesticides.
And where that orchard is…
‘It’s Pangyo. Pangyo!’
New city development began in earnest in 2003.
In short, the real estate value in Pangyo right now is completely out of the question.
“Yeah, not the fridge. I want to pick the apples and eat them myself.”
“Then you’ll need an orchard.”
“An orchard?”
“You want to pick and eat the apples yourself?”
“Yes, in person.”
“Good! Jisung will give you a very large orchard full of apples!”
“Wow! Then, I will pick the apples myself and give them to Grandpa.”
The problem was that there was an orchard in Pangyo, but there were no apple trees.
‘Oh, there are no apple trees in Pangyo Orchard······.’
There was an orchard with apple trees in Daegu, and my grandfather was probably thinking about that.
‘···Things are going wrong.’
This is the moment when it comes to the fact that there are many orchards in Daegu.
“Okay, hahaha, tell Director Park to come in.”
After a while, Director Park came in.
“Hello, Mr. Park Seon.”
I’m probably the only one of my grandfather’s grandchildren who knows that name.
Perhaps that’s why Director Park looked slightly surprised.
“Did you call, Chairman?”
“Where is the largest apple orchard in my garden?”
I knew this would happen.
Nothing is ever easy to solve.
‘I was going to eat it raw······.’
It has to be Pangyo.
That way, you can hit the jackpot in real estate in 2003.
“There is an orchard with apple trees planted near Daegu.”
“Transfer the ownership of the apple orchard to Ji-seong.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Grandpa, Daegu is too far.”
“Far?”
“Yes, I have to go to school too, and it’s far. I hate getting carsick.”
“That’s true. Then what should I do?”
“It would be nice if it was somewhere close.”
“It’s nearby, Director Park, is there an orchard nearby?”
“It’s in Pangyo.”
“Pangyo?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Our Jisung said he would pick some apples for me.”
“There are no apple trees in Pangyo. It is a region where apples are difficult to grow because it is above the apple cultivation limit.”
“Really? Is that difficult?”
“···However, if you convert the orchard into a glasshouse or vinyl house and plant apple tree seedlings, you will be able to enjoy apples picked by Master Jiseong within three years.”
The grandfather nodded, satisfied with Director Park’s answer.
‘This is how Director Park gains trust.’
It was a moment when I realized Director Park’s true value once again.
Incompetent staff members only relay the facts accurately when the leader asks for their opinion.
Without any understanding of the leader’s intentions.
If there is a problem, a staff member like Director Park who suggests alternatives is a true staff member.
‘I have to make sure that old man is on my side.’
I’m getting greedy.
“Okay, then I’ll prepare it like that.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Jisung, the orchard in Pangyo is now your orchard.”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
I just have to smile and say it’s okay.
‘To my great aunt······.’
I need to ask them to expand the orchard further.
‘About 1 million pyeong······? Hehehe!’
I thought to myself and twitched the corners of my lips without letting it show.
‘How can I use my aunt and Director Park······.’
This seems to be the most urgent task.

The next day, a special room at the Shilla Hotel.
“Nothing more to say?”
GL Electronics President Koo Ja-seong asked Jo Mi-seon.
In fact, the details had already been finalized.
Hold!
Jo Mi-seon stamped the divorce papers and looked at Gu Ja-seong.
“I’ll destroy you.”
“what?”
“I came here in person to tell you this.”
After saying that, Jo Mi-seon turned around and left the special room at the hotel.

Inside the car heading to Samseong-dong.
“How much is the compensation?”
“It’s 100 billion won.”
“Please deposit the money into Ji-seong’s account right away.”
“Are you telling me the whole thing?”
“This is a gift from me to Ji-seong. Ji-seong will take revenge on my behalf. So, please deposit the money into an account under Ji-seong’s name.”
“There is a problem with the gift tax.”
“We have to pay taxes. Our Ji-seong has to be clean without a single scratch.”

A week later, in the personal study of the Samjung Group Chairman.
All the group executives gathered together.
The chairman of the Samjung Group did not on the surface ask for a way to attack the GL Group.
Most of the group executives gathered here had guessed the chairman’s mind.
Because I’ve never let it go even once since I’ve been through it.
“We have now entered the electronics industry in earnest. So we need to understand our competitors’ core businesses and come up with alternatives. We need to find a way to become number one at any cost.”
“The biggest competitors in the electronics industry would be Mirae Electronics and GL Electronics.”
“GL?”
I met the GL Group Chairman during the day.
As the chairman of Samjeong Group, who had even been nailed down, his right eyebrow twitched at the mention of GL.
“GL Group is a leader in the electronics and home appliances business. I believe that we will become the number one electronics company if we beat GL Electronics.”
“What business is GL promoting these days?”
“According to the information we have received, they are accelerating the development of home electronics products. They are said to be preparing to go beyond the number one position in Korea and become the number one position in the world.”
“So, what are you developing? If it’s a refrigerator, it’s a refrigerator. If it’s a television, it’s a television. Isn’t there something clear?”
“Director Park is currently looking into the specific information. The important thing is to set GL Electronics as our target and fight with all our might.”
“Anyway, GL Electronics is a home appliance company, right?”
“In contrast, Samsung Electronics is pushing ahead with the development of mobile phones.”
“That’s one thing, and this is this. So in the end, Director Park has to come for the meeting to proceed properly?”
“······yes.”
Director Park was in charge of supervising industrial spies.
“Hmm······.”
The chairman of Samjeong Group got up from his seat in frustration and went to the window, where he saw Jo Mi-seon and Director Park coming in through the main entrance of the mansion.
‘You’re here······.’
The chairman of Samjung Group frowned once again at the thought that his eldest daughter had stamped the divorce papers that would become scarlet letters in the future.
“Let’s take a break and then meet again.”
Suddenly, I looked closely at Director Park standing next to Jo Mi-seon.
‘Would Director Park be a strong protector for Misun······.’
The chairman of the Samjung Group had the same thoughts as Ji-seong.
