Chapter 382 – 33. The Open Door
+++
Using the power of Seohyeon and the [Imperial Secretary’s Office], Yoo Eun began to take shares in Hyesung Group.
Most of them were purchased through threats, but there were also people who paid without saying anything.
Of course, Korea was aware of this movement as well, and no matter how much it was a harem palace, it couldn’t easily hand over the Hyesung Group, which leads the country’s basic industry, so it started obstructing based on various clauses, and this was quite successful.
“Unexpected. I thought the president would just hand it over.”
“The Hyesung Group has major industries such as shipbuilding and automobiles, and it has a great impact on Korea’s defense sector.”
“National defense?”
At Seohyun’s answer to her, Yueun widened her eyes.
I knew that Hyesung Group was one of the top 5 groups in Korea, but I didn’t know that it was connected to national defense.
“This is the company that built the Korean-style aircraft carrier ‘KCVZ’ series and the Korean-style Arsenal ship ‘KASX’ series.”
“Wow. I didn’t know that. It’s a huge company that can build aircraft carriers. Why didn’t I know that?”
“…”
That’s because you’re ignorant.
Seohyun swallowed the answer behind her throat and whispered in his ear.
“And they said they plan to build a battleship in top secrecy.”
“Eh?”
Even Yoo Eun knows that battleships are meaningless in the modern age no matter how ignorant they are.
Battleships are dead weapons, as they cannot be expected to be more useful than missiles even if they are equipped with ignorant-sized guns.
“Doesn’t that mean anything?”
“That would be the case with normal ship guns, but this time the ship gun is a ‘rail gun’.”
“If it’s a railgun, isn’t that coin bouncing?”
“No…”
Shaking her head from side to side, she began her explanation.
“Well, building a large ship is not something that can be hidden, but information is being distorted through various routes, and it seems that they are decorating it like ‘The second Korean aircraft carrier is being built’. I don’t know how long they will be deceived. Anyway, it is a modern battleship equipped with 12 railguns and 256 vertical missile launchers, with a full displacement of 200,000 tons—”
“No wait.”
“Yes?”
“No matter how stupid I am, I know that our country doesn’t have enough national power to make something like that, but what the hell are you doing? 200,000 tons?”
“That’s because we have a defense technology partnership with the main palace. We can do that much.”
“Is it?”
“There are also space battleships that cross dimensions.”
“Oh yes.”
Yoo-Eun understood.
“But if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to just hand over the Hyesung Group to us and get more technical partnerships?
“Or you can ask them to ask for another shipbuilder.”
“Right. There are a lot of shipbuilding companies, right? Hyesung Group tells us to make some concessions. And strictly speaking, Se-hee takes it, not me, right?”
“That’s what it is, but what is it.”
“They’re going to pay their taxes faithfully. So tell them to give up at least one group.”
Yoo-eun speaks nonsense so easily.
The aftermath was delivered to Korea in less than a day.
Anyone with a bit of knowledge could know that the Hyesung Group was being passed over to the Harem Group (to be precise, Kang Se-hee, the granddaughter of the Chairman of the Hyesung Group and the handmaid of Yoo Eun), so the group’s stock price began to skyrocket as soon as the market opened. In particular, stocks of affiliates in fields that are not in the Harem Group were worse.
Simply thinking, if the country of Vonia, which was born due to Lim Seo-hyun’s atrocities, starts using Hyesung Group’s products, sales and net profit will rise by tens of thousands of percent.
In addition, the country of Vonia is not just populated, it is filled with people who have absolute loyalty to Yu-eun, so you can change your favorite company at any time with a word from Yu-eun.
If you say, ‘Let’s start using Hyesung Group products from today’, it means that the entire market worth 1 billion will be passed on to Hyesung Group.
And as Yoo Eun’s handmaid, Kang Se-hee, is gradually taking over the management rights of the Hyesung Group, the possibility of that happening was increasing.

“Long time no see?”
Graceful gesture.
Sharp eyes.
Her actual age of her is already over 50, but through steady management, beauty items, and stats, she only looked like she was in her mid-30s.
On top of that, the body that can be seen through the semi-suit is also very good, so if someone finds out her age her, it will harden in shock.
Kang Se-hee’s mother and a vice-chairman-level person who runs affiliates such as Hyesung Wool, Hyesung Beauty, and Hyesung Mulsan.
Although she was her biological mother her, her eyes her looking at Kang Se-hee were not those of her biological daughter her at all.
“How are you doing? Seeing how you’re trying to take over the company as if it were your own.”
She glered at Kang Se-hee and raised her glass of her.
Privately owned restaurant.
It was quite a popular place in the area, so it had quite a bit of sales every day, but she stopped her business and invited Kang Se-hee to meet her daughter her.
Kang Se-hee, who is currently making a very aggressive purchase with the harem palace on her back her, is literally meat in water. Whether she threatened or appeased her, her sale her was pouring in from all sides, and most of it was swept away by Kang Se-hee.
And finally, her hand reached out to Shin Soo-ah’s company.
“At first I sympathized with the old man’s decision, but I didn’t have to.”
“Sympathy? Since when did my mother care so much about me?”
“So you said you don’t do it now. Don’t you understand?”
“…”
“I was really surprised when the old man said he was sending you as his concubine. A nobleman who had been circulating cheaply for a long time suddenly sold you. I wondered if he had finally come to his senses.”
Rather than looking at her daughter her, her eyes her are nasty as if they are looking at her rival or competitor.
A fishy laugh was perfect for getting on a nerve.
“Well, looking at what you’re doing now, it ended up being a good thing for you as well, so you can still say it’s cheap.”
“Good things?”
When Se-hee made a puzzled expression, the woman smiled coldly.
“Why? What’s so absurd?”
“Is it a good thing to be sold overnight and become a slave?”
“That’s why you should think about what you get. A vulgar but powerful person. Even now, I wonder if there is a place that can stand against him. Shouldn’t I be rather grateful if I was sold to such a place?”
“Under..”
Still, she had some hesitation.
Kang Se-hee sneered at the feeling that even the affection she had for her mother her, which she had at the bottom of her heart, had fallen.
Let’s say her grandfather sold Yu-eun because she did something strange.
But what about the rest of the family? Was there even one person who objected, saying, ‘It shouldn’t be like that’?
Even the person in front of her, her biological mother, is laughing at it rather than accusing her of it.
“Then, shall we make a proposal to Se-hee, who has risen in the world?”
As if not paying attention to Se-hee’s feelings of her, Su-ah held out a pile of papers she had taken out of her bag.
“You know my share, but I brought it just in case.”
“…?”
“I think it will be difficult to protect mine anyway, as long as there are those heinous things behind you… Then shouldn’t I at least get a good price?”
“Are you willing to sell it?”
“Well, it’s like selling under duress.”
Se-hee frowned and flipped through the documents.
Indeed, information about Sua’s stake in Hyesung Group is densely written.
“Anyway, from your point of view, there’s no need to bump into each other, right? Let’s have a good time. This mother should rest soon, too.”
“…”

Just as Se-hee was meeting her mother, her, Su-a, and Yoo-eun arrived at the restaurant’s entrance.
“This is it.”
“Ohh.”
Normally, a huge ceremony would have followed, but Yu-eun left it behind.
She just visits together with Seohyun.
“Is this building nice? Is it all Sehee’s mother’s?”
“Yes. It will be yours soon.”
The 12th to 17th floors of the 17th floor and even the rooftop are being used as restaurants, and even though they weren’t open, the lights were on.
“Come in.”
Seohyun unlocked her door as if it were her own building and guided Yooeun.
In the middle, people who seemed to be guards came out and blocked them, but they could not interfere with Seohyun and Yooeun.
In the end, it was down before even contacting the upper echelons.
“They say it’s a restaurant from the 12th floor, but where are you meeting?”
“They said they would meet on the 17th floor.”
“Let’s go.”
As soon as I took the elevator and got off the 17th floor, I saw the entrance.
“… Today we are not open for business—”
“It’s okay. I didn’t come to eat food. To be precise, I came to eat people.”
“Yes?”
I didn’t know what the cute waitress was saying, so I tilted my head, but I immediately froze when I remembered the faces of Yueun and Seohyun that I had seen on TV and on the Internet.
“Stand, stand… Hyeon…?”
I recognized Seohyun before Yooeun.
“Shh.”
As Seohyun brought her index finger to her mouth her with her cold face, the waitress nodded her head while shedding tears.
“What the hell did you do so that people seeing you for the first time are so frightened?”
“…”
You told me everything and you’re talking like this.
Although it was shocking, Seohyun was faithful to her mission.
“Are there two people inside?”
“Yes Yes…”
“I’m going to close this building down from now on, so leave the chef, the waiters, the security guards, etc. If you don’t want to die.”
With only a simple (?) Threat, the employee turned white and left with other employees.
