## Chapter 216 – 21. Family Gathering
Well… it’s the Chairman’s move, so it’s important in a way…
But it’s not related to any business, and the fact that he debuted as a professional Go player is kind of…
‘Just how much does that old man like Go?’
The more I know, the more absurd it gets.
If he liked it this much, shouldn’t he have aimed to be a Go player from the start? Instead of running a company.
‘Ah, no. He’s probably filming a ghost Go player drama right now, so he wouldn’t stand a chance with his real skills.’
Seriously.
I really didn’t expect it to turn out like this.
‘Anyway, it’s not bad for me… probably.’
I clapped enthusiastically.
Even if I don’t quite understand or agree with it, it’s only natural to applaud the loudest for something the Chairman likes.
Everyone else must be thinking the same thing, because they’re clapping like their lives depend on it, to the point where it feels like the entire Pyongyang is shaking, to exaggerate a bit.
With tens of thousands of people doing that, it’s really deafening.
‘How long do I have to clap for?’
You know,
When you watch musicals, there are articles like ‘17-minute standing ovation,’ right?
The sound of applause is echoing endlessly, just like that.
Because no one dares to stop clapping or sit down first.
So, you have to keep clapping.
“I feel good that everyone is congratulating me. Kehehehe.”
Grandfather smiled broadly and clapped along, then after about 5 minutes, he raised both hands above his head, gesturing for everyone to sit down.
Of course, there were still few people who stopped clapping and sat down, but when my aunts started massaging their wrists and sat down, my sisters and I sat down, and only then did the applause begin to subside in earnest.
‘When you’re the Chairman of the Goryeo Group, you can receive endless applause.’
It was a good thing Grandfather gestured to stop, otherwise we would have had to keep clapping for 10 or 15 minutes.
– To all the executives who took the time out of their busy schedules to visit, I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude. Today-,
The opening video ended, and a woman walked onto the stage and grabbed the microphone.
She had a slender, well-proportioned figure and a decent face, so I thought she was some kind of announcer, but it turned out she was a member of the board of directors in charge of one of the countless affiliates.
It feels like they sent up the prettiest woman among the presidents.
‘The presentation is finally starting.’
The hologram video from earlier was just an intro.
The real deal starts now.
She elaborated on what was shown in the intro video.
She floated holograms in the air and continued to speak, adding specific annotations one by one.
Unlike the video, which was met with enthusiastic applause, the venue was as quiet as a mouse.
‘It’s a little boring.’
Well, it couldn’t be helped since it wasn’t a dopamine-filled event from the start, but it was a little hard to just listen.
The only part that was worth listening to was when she moved on to the world affairs section and explained in detail what the current situation in Asia was like, what Europe was doing, and what the United States was doing, and then pointed out the future direction of the Goryeo Group.
‘Japan’s reconstruction….’
One of them is the plan for Japan’s reconstruction.
Japan was clearly a victor in World War III, so its treatment was much better than that of the Twenty Chinese States.
The problem is the economy. The country collapsed once after suffering a series of massive disasters in time difference: the Nankai Trough earthquake, the eruption of Mount Fuji, and the Tokyo Inland Earthquake, as well as a large-scale missile attack from China.
They are somehow gathering strength to rebuild the capital and are working hard on national reconstruction, but even after 50 years, they have not fully recovered.
The female president was emphasizing the need to quickly rebuild Japan.
You shouldn’t misunderstand that helping Japan rebuild doesn’t necessarily mean helping Japan.
Of course, it’s all high-interest loans, and to put it bluntly, it means exploiting Japan in the same way as Shanghai, which pays about 15-20% of its annual gross production to the Goryeo Group and South Korea in the name of reparations.
It’s just that they receive it as loan interest instead of reparations.
Or they siphon it off through other vested interests.
‘2077 will be another eventful year.’
It’s 11:59 PM on December 31, 2076.
Everything that was in progress is stopped, and a large number appears in the sky.
The initial 59 gradually decreases, entering the 40s.
The New Year’s countdown has begun.
‘Finally…. 2077…! The time when the main story begins!’
I’m looking forward to it.
What kind of novel situation will greet me.
Since it’s already separated from the route I experienced by five million light-years, most of what I experience in the future will be new.
But I’m not worried.
Because I’m none other than Go Mu-yeol.
The eldest grandson of the Goryeo Group,
Go Mu-yeol.
[Happy New Year 2077~!!]
Bang!
Boom!
Worry and fear are not my responsibility.
They are the responsibility of the person on the opposite side.
I’m just looking forward to it.
How delicious the fruit in front of me will be.
+++
“Huuu….”
“Good job.”
“Ah, Min-… no, Aunt.”
Go Min-yeong, who handed me a drink, smiled slyly.
I’m probably the only one who can make this woman smile like this.
“Are you calling my name even when other people are around? I don’t mind, though.”
“Of course not…. I can’t do that.”
“Hehe.”
She smiled pleasantly and patted my back.
That’s the kind of gesture an aunt can make to her nephew, but there was also a slight hint of lewdness.
She subtly lowered her hand and touched my butt.
“You did a good job with the presentation. Our nephew needs to have that kind of guts. I’m looking forward to this year… no, this year?”
“Haha…. The presentation….”
Go Min-yeong says I did well, but I’m a little discouraged.
Because the scale is too different, seriously different.
Even Go Min-ji, whom I was shamelessly preying on until just now, was playing with a basic scale of ‘quadrillions’ in the business she was presenting, and the total scale easily exceeded quintillions.
And that’s just the story of one business she’s in charge of. If you add them all up, it’s about the size of a decent country.
It’s not like they buy aircraft carriers to do piracy for no reason.
They did that kind of nonsense because they still had money left over.
The same goes for other people.
There were even people who exceeded ten quintillions.
For example, Go Ha-yeong, who is in charge of finance….
But me?
It’s only 16 trillion when you add it all up.
‘I thought I did a good job when I was preparing, but when I actually presented it….’
Just a frog in a well.
No matter how much of a story there is that it started at 100 billion and grew to trillions in 4 months, the scale is too shabby.
I’m also a member of the owner family.
I could feel people tilting their heads, wondering if they had misheard, while I was presenting.
How can I keep talking in that situation?
‘I managed to finish it somehow…. It was really dizzying….’
If it weren’t for the support of my family and grandfather, I might have been trembling with shame.
Tens of thousands of people staring at me with blank eyes
‘That’s an owner family member?’
I was worried that they would think like this, so my head was complicated.
Fortunately,
Despite that, all my family members think of me as admirable.
While the board of directors watching my presentation were all expressing boredom and doubt, my family members listened to me intently.
In particular, Grandfather was the first to stand up and applaud when my presentation was over.
If the Chairman does that, can other people stay still?
Everyone stood up and applauded, and it was one of the most dramatic moments in my life.
Like when I was introduced to the collateral relatives during Chuseok,
And like today.
Grandfather has always strongly supported me.
If Go Mu-yeol hadn’t been doing crazy things like taking drugs, I would have been doing more work in the Goryeo Group now.
“Mu-yeol, the important thing is not the scale.”
“…”
Go Min-yeong and my aunts also supported me.
Even now, they’re saying things that are similar to comforting me.
“What’s important is who you are.”
“Aunt….”
“You’re family with the same blood as us, aren’t you?”
Go Min-yeong, who smiled kindly, quickly looked around and, when no one was watching, kissed me.
I felt her soft lips overlap mine, and I unconsciously tried to invade inside, but she let go.
Disappointment washes over me.
“And you’re also my husband.”
“…Husband already?”
“Of course.”
She looked around again and kissed me again.
Then she walked away, and my heart fluttered after a long time.
Is this….
What it means to be family….
Zing.
A message came.
It was Go Min-ji, who was walking far ahead.
When I looked up, she turned around and waved at me.
‘Huh.’
Is Go Min-ji also comforting me?
After all, even if we’re like this, we’re still family.
‘Well, we have a lot of history.’
How many times have we mixed our bodies together?
I can’t even count how many times I’ve banged her today.
“Anyway. The people who are outwardly prickly are more-,”
– Beggar
– Lololol
“…”
Go Min-ji, you just wait.
