## Chapter 209 – 21. Family Gathering
‘If it weren’t for the scale, it’d be perfect from any angle.’
It’s not just because I’m the one who did it.
Objectively speaking, I’ve accomplished something incredible.
“I need to emphasize that my starting point was a billion dollars in cash. And since the stock investment success only happened once, it’s easy to dismiss it as luck. No matter what I do, that impression might linger, so don’t overemphasize it. We can prove it again later.”
“Yes, Master.”
“But, we need to hint at it. Subtly connect our actions to the rise in Real Production’s stock price. The special investigation turned the Incheon entertainment scene upside down, causing entertainment stocks to plummet. It seems the funds that fled then latched onto Real Production, which was rapidly rising. Something like that.”
It’s not entirely wrong, to begin with.
That kind of analysis actually came out.
If we mention that and create a ‘maybe?’ impression, I think that’s successful enough.
“And that special investigation also became the catalyst for Korea Entertainment to grow into a massive agency with over a thousand celebrities, right? Tie that in too. I need to give the impression that I’m calculating.”
I continued coaching.
I’m not exactly an expert, to be honest. The secretaries might actually be better at it, so I listened to their opinions as well.
The purpose of this New Year’s briefing is singular.
To make a solid, positive impression on my grandfather and aunts.
So, should I give a presentation that satisfies the branch families, the executive board, the directors, and all those other people who came?
No need.
My world is different from those people anyway.
The only people I need to focus on are my grandfather and aunts.
The adults who hold the reins of our group and control everything in the owner’s family.
It’s important to make a good impression on them and etch the name Go Mu-yeol into their minds.
‘No longer Go Mu-yeol the drug addict, but Go Mu-yeol the ambitious one.’
That’s why I’ve been consistently making courtesy calls.
“Take a short break, and let’s reconvene in an hour.”
“Yes.”
.
.
“Good… The performance report is mostly done. Now all that’s left is the plan for the next year.”
What will Go Mu-yeol of 2077 do?
The simplest way to think about it is to increase the progress or complete the work I’m currently doing.
First, complete the establishment of the Special Correction Corporation and immediately start construction of the prison in Mu-yeol Land. Even if it means investing more manpower and equipment, the goal is to complete the most important core facilities within six months.
Inmate intake should start around August, after a setting period of about two months, and the business objective of this Special Correction Corporation should be roughly to contribute to the normalization of Incheon’s security.
Besides this, there’s a lot more to include in the presentation.
I’ve got quite a few things going on…
“The most important thing is still… the Namdong Industrial Complex.”
Everything else is secondary; this alone is core enough to present.
But as such, it takes a long time and requires a lot of preparation.
So, surprisingly, there weren’t that many things to present, but the goal is to complete the restoration of the central area, finish the design and review of the integrated headquarters, and start construction of the integrated headquarters by at least December… That’s the goal.
‘Looking at it like this, it’s really slow….’
Fortunately, thanks to technological advancements, building construction itself can be done really quickly.
The building design and review might actually take longer. If we can skip this stage quickly, we might be able to complete it by December instead of just starting construction then.
‘The key is the by-election for the district head in April.’
All the work related to the Namdong Industrial Complex development, but especially getting the district head on our side or planting my people there, is essential for smooth reviews, approvals, and construction.
But the current head is on his last legs because I knocked him down, and the acting head is affiliated with the Progressive Innovation Party, so he’s plugging his ears and not listening. We’re only pushing things forward with Kim Eun-ji and the Public Safety Recovery Committee.
‘I need to get my person in as the district head in April and replace all the people under him. Only then can something be done this year.’
For now, the goal is to announce construction in December, but internally, we need to proceed as quickly as possible.
It would only hurt me if I said, ‘We will complete the construction of the integrated headquarters this year and start the full-scale development of the Namdong Industrial Complex,’ and then failed to deliver.
In these situations, it’s better to plan and announce based on a typical timeframe.
‘And what’s left is….’
Should I introduce the RK-99?
It’s a nuclear-level cheat key, so it’s a card I should never play unless I can protect it, but after dealing with Go Min-young and Go Min-ji, my worries have lessened quite a bit.
Still, I can’t completely let my guard down… Let’s start preparing for a full reveal once I’ve taken down one more aunt and one more sister.
Until then, let’s develop Mu-yeol Chemical by announcing things like RK-66 and RK-55.
‘So, the kick of this presentation will be the Namdong Industrial Complex, Mu-yeol Finance, and Mu-yeol Chemical.’
I jotted down what I had in mind, mixed in verbal explanations, and conveyed it to the secretaries.
They nodded and listened intently.
“Proceed.”
“Yes.”

December 31st.
Finally, the day of the decisive battle has dawned.
Isn’t the day of the decisive battle January 1st?
Yeah, but you have to go in advance.
With all the elders gathering, is it right to show up on the day itself with no manners?
I started preparing rigorously from the morning, finished all the preparations to leave for Pyongyang, and did one last final check.
Performance report,
New Year’s goal setting,
New Year’s resolutions, etc.
Everything is perfect.
“Hmm. Good. I can do it this way.”
The time is already noon.
We all gathered in the restaurant, ate a moderate amount, and then left immediately.
– Nim.
I texted Go Min-ji on the way.
– I’m looking forward to it.
– Please don’t disappoint
– My expectations
– Got it?
– ㅗ
An incredibly cute reply.
You’ve mellowed out a lot, Ms. Min-ji.
Just yesterday, you would have attached several ㅗ’s, not just one.
Are you scared?
– But did you leave, Unni?
– I’m leaving now
– I’m already in Pyongyang
– You slow piece of shit
– You’re so damn slow
– And you’re the lowest in the pecking order
– Why are you talking about seniority among family members?
– And I’m your dad, remember?
– We need to have a three-way meeting
– You crazy bastard lol
– Try it lol
– The moment you bring it up
– You’ll get your ass beat by that woman
– Who?
– Me?
– Min-young
– Is going to hit me?
– Hah
– You’re already calling her by her name?
– Wow, I’m speechless
– You’re so cocky
– But Unni
– If Min-young
– Tells Unni
– To call me Dad
– What are you going to do?
– What am I going to do
– I’ll kill you
– And run away
– Bullshit
– Yeah ㅗ
– What can a useless pussy
– That can’t last a few days
– Without a dick do?
– Same old repertoire
– Don’t you get tired of it?
– Is ‘useless pussy’ all you can say?
– You useless dickhead
– Honestly, my dick isn’t useless
– Yeah, it’s super useless~
– I don’t feel anything when you stick it in~
– What a fabrication
– If you’re so upset
– Hurry up and come
– And stick it in lol
– It’s so small I probably won’t feel it anyway
Just when we were having phone sex before,
You said it was too big,
But today you’re changing your tune again.
So typical of elementary schooler Go Min-ji.
I roughly chatted with her and then sent greetings to the rest of the family.
Surprisingly, most of them said they were already there.
‘I was the latest one….’
Slightly shocked.
I thought I was being quick!
Well, it’s a relief that I can get there quickly with the AV.
+++
The weather was good today.
The endlessly sprawling Pyongyang cityscape, with its towering skyscrapers, was visible at a glance, and even the buildings on the horizon were clear and unobstructed.
A spectacle in itself.
Moreover, that’s not all.
We’re just approaching the vicinity of the Sun Palace, and there are so many AVs around.
It feels like every AV in the Korean peninsula is coming here.
“There are so many cars too.”
If the sky is like that, the ground goes without saying.
The roads near the Sun Palace looked like ants swarming.
So many cars were packed tightly, and so many people were getting out and heading towards the Sun Palace.
‘It’s a million times fortunate that I’m a Go.’
I don’t have the confidence to break through that crowd.
I entered the Sun Palace comfortably through the private AV pad.
And there, I saw a familiar face.
“Oh? Min-jia?”
“!”
I met Min-jia’s group, who were passing through the hall with tired faces.
It’s been a while!
I wonder if she’s been doing well.
“H-Honorific Young Master…!”
She didn’t run, but walked quickly towards me when she spotted me.
The sound of her heels grew closer, and she soon reached me and bowed at a 90-degree angle.
Then everyone with her bowed in the same way.
It was like a gangster situation.
‘Why are there so many people with her?’
Usually, they would only bring the executive board, but Min-jia’s group seemed to be at least 30 or 40 people.
‘Well, she’s from a real branch family.’
Recently, she completely took over Daejin Group, the company whose entire family died after defying me, and in terms of scale alone, my Korea Entertainment is really nothing in comparison.
