Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

When you live abroad, you inevitably get along with the people of your home country.

Among them, there were many cases where people working in similar fields gathered.

People who do business are people who do business, and people who run companies are people who run companies.

It was the same with the people Eugene was hanging out with.

Most of them were from the American branch of a large corporation or people who worked professionally gathered in a pub to let go of the things they had done in the past.

A number of acquaintances, including Ki-beom Kim, who is running his own business after retiring as the head of the New York branch of Dasan Motor’s Americas headquarters, became close friends.

However, Jung Yong-soo, who was married to an American while attending the New York branch of Daeyang Electronics, was intentionally approached by Eugene.

Even though the dispute with the Daeyang Group ended long ago, Eugene still had bad feelings for the Daeyang.

Moreover, even after the long lawsuit was over, my younger brother in Korea started a group of people who had been harmed by a large corporation and continued the fight without an end in sight.

Eugene wanted to be of little help to his younger brother if he found out something, so Eugene sometimes hung out with a man named Jung Yong-su.

“Do you know what tasks that people in overseas branches of Korean conglomerates should be most concerned about?”

On that day, Kim Ki-beom, who worked at Dasan Motors, opened up.

We had already said the same story several times, but as we get older, we usually do similar things, so the people around us were listening.

“It’s time for the VIPs to come.”

Jung Yong-soo, who had just started to intervene in their meeting, was excited and answered.

“It would be better if the VIP just came to stop by. The VIP family is doing something here, right? Then you’ll be completely enslaved. When I was in the ocean, the fourth son of the family went to college here. LaGuardia Community School.”

On that day, Jung Yong-soo solved the story on behalf of Kim Ki-beom.

“If it’s LaGuardia Community School, you don’t even go through the exam, right?”

“uh. Even if you don’t have good English skills, you can get a free pass if you go to an affiliated language school.”

“I can’t speak English, but what kind of study abroad is?”

As long as they even come to the US branch of a large corporation to work, they are all elite employees. It was rather difficult to find a person who did not graduate from one of the top three universities in Korea.

To such people, saying that they were studying abroad at a community college similar to that of a Korean junior college seemed like nothing more than a ridiculous amount of money.

“That fourth son did. When I first came here, I only spoke English, ABCD. Still, he must have been very terribly pleased by his father.”

“When is it? Was there such a friend among the sons of Chairman Ryu Geun-soo?”

“no. Not that type of president, the predecessor. The founder.”

“You were here when the old man’s son went to college in New York? How old are you?”

“The fourth son of the family was twenty then. Chairman Ryu was eighty-seven or eighty-eight.”

“What? is it that much of a difference? So how old were you? sixty seven? sixty eight? Power is good too. old man.”

Kim Ki-bum shook his head.

“How pretty would it be to be a child I saw so late? From what I heard, it looks like they were so happy that even their heart would be removed.”

“under… … Then come out?”

“no. Nor is it Were you around sixty? You’ve just retaken a woman over twenty. Of course, it’s manly, so there’s no such thing as a wedding. So, it is the right child who was registered as an official wife in the family register.”

“It’s really respectful. Usually, you don’t put it on the family register because you don’t want to tell others, don’t you?”

“Respect is bullshit. Anyway, back then I was in charge of taking care of the fourth son. There were some spoons that came with it. From the housekeeper and the secretary to the bodyguard. But things are dark here. So, I was supposed to let you know for a few months, but somehow I kept messing around with it.”

“It must have been difficult.”

Kim Ki-bum, who had a similar experience, helped.

I can’t talk about myself today, but I don’t think I have any complaints.

“By the way, he was such a fucking idiot. I don’t go to school, call me here during the day and let me go here, let’s go over there, make me a slave, and in the evening I quickly make friends with my peers and drink alcohol every day… … I’ve had accidents a few times. or assault.”

Jung Yong-soo released a lot more episodes than Kim Ki-bum’s.

Actually, it’s not that I don’t understand. I entered a large company with a big dream, got recognition, and came to the New York branch of the United States, but what I was asked to do was serve a young guy drinking alcohol, so there must have been a lot of accumulated things.

“But it wasn’t that I didn’t understand it because I was next to him. My father is the chairman of a chaebol, but he was an old man who wouldn’t be strange at any time. There are older people who are much more than their fathers, and they are brothers, so I check them in case my father wants to hand over the company to the youngest whom he loves.”

Jung Yong-soo looked like he was getting fed up.

“Does it make sense? There are three older brothers over fifty who are worried that the company’s stake will be passed on to a child who is barely twenty. It’s only been twenty years since I came here, but I heard that the kid has felt it since he turned ten. It is strange that the child is not crooked.”

However, it seems that the degree of distortion was very severe.

“At first, it seemed that I was satisfied with just alcohol and women. But it must have happened that I came across drugs. It’s pretty easy to get drugs here. Still, for a while, I went into a club or another guy’s house without the people taking care of me. How easy is that? Eventually I got caught. So I was quietly dragged away and returned home. After all, there has never been a time when I was so happy.”

It seems that Jung Yong-soo was overjoyed that the fourth son of the chairman returned to Korea.

The stories I heard that day were very interesting, but they weren’t particularly helpful to Eugene or his younger brother Yoosung.

The story of a family member of a large corporation coming to the United States to live happily ever after, drowning in alcohol and drugs, or the extent of a riot between the brothers after the death of the president, is something that can be found in any company.

It may not have been at the time, but since it had already been more than ten years, it was not even a subject of interest to reporters.

For that reason, Eugene had pushed the events of that day to the other side of his memory.

However, for Eugene who returned to the past, the stories he heard that day are now quite useful.

“Chairman Ryu loved him very much. It seems they wanted to give the group to the youngest.”

The chairman of the Daeyang Group said that it may be because of his youngest son that he did not choose a successor and left the competition between his sons even after he turned 90.

Inwardly, it felt as if the youngest was old enough to lead the group and tried to pass on the Daeyang Group to the youngest, skipping the other three sons, who would hold out until they reached the age of retirement and then would retire by then.

“It was very strange to look like my mother. He looked like any actor. their mother? saw it Because I used to come and go to see my son sometimes. At that time, I was a little over forty, and I had never seen such a pretty woman at that age in the world. Seriously, that’s about it, so the president of Daeyang Group under Heaven would not have been a concubine, but would have brought him in. Anyway, the kid will have money, his face will be bright, and there will be a lot of women.”

The fact that he did so even though he knew what it would look like to the world to formally marry a woman who was a little over 20 at the age of well over 60 years old would mean that the old man loved her that much.

“He was such an idiot, but he married the daughter of a famous group. It also seems to be connected to each other. But maybe he knew from his reputation that he was doing drugs. He’s not even a chaebol whose fame is worthy of Daeyang, so would he be pleased with a drug-minded son-in-law?”

The youngest son of the Daeyang Group seems to have worked out well in the end.

Although he did not win the title of Daeyang Group, I heard that he inherited a fairly substantial affiliate and was living comfortably with support from two major groups, Daeyang and Myeongseong.

Eugene was curious.

How would a father feel if something unsatisfying happened to his son whom he loved enough to put it in his eyes?

And what about the position of the brothers, who they consider to be potentially fatal rivals?

– I spent all day in the club today. I am attaching a video of me taking a drug that is supposed to be ecstasy.

– I went into a hotel on the outskirts of town with the call girls. They took the room opposite and watched them until they came out the next day. The video is attached. We charge for hotel stay.

– I bought an unknown drug from a dealer in a back alley in Soho. I am charged a risk allowance.

– The hotel called the escort service. The video is attached.

– I smoked marijuana with my friends at school. The video is attached.

Eugene hardly missed a day, receiving a report from a New York detective.

A team of several people has been working closely for 24 hours and has been monitoring the every move of the fourth son of the Daeyang Group for two months and recording all illegal acts.

I received dozens of videos just like that.

This was enough to punish Ryu’s youngest son in the United States.

The cost to be paid for it was not small, but the result was satisfactory, so it was well worth it.

Now you just have to choose when and how to use it.

* * *

“I met the president of Myungsung Electronics and his wife.”

“okay. you did a good job What does that say?”

When he was dealing with a wife who was 40 years younger than him, the president of the Daeyang Group had a different kind of affection than when he was dealing with other people.

“You seem to think it’s not bad.”

The president’s wife said with a soft smile.

“He was also in Boston right now, so he asked if I could set up a date soon and let the two of us see each other. They say that these days is different from the past, and the feelings of the parties are the most important.”

“That’s what your family looked like.”

“I don’t think it’s bad either. Geun-seok must like it too.”

“right. You have to like him.”

“But it’s not that I’m a little worried that he’s going to Harvard.”

The woman seemed concerned that her son had too much education compared to his daughter-in-law.

It was natural to worry that his son would be ignored by his daughter-in-law.

“What are you worried about? It’s academic, it’s just courage.”

Chairman Ryu ignored it, saying it was not a big deal.

“Is that so? I’m not a commoner, and I care about my academic background.”

“So that’s it. You don’t have to worry too much. Tell Geun-seok to give him some time.”

“yes. I’ll do that. I’m so glad. It has to be a family with a reputation.”

It was a word with many meanings.

For the son of the president of the Daeyang Group, it means that he must be a child of at least one of the four major groups, but there is another important meaning hidden.

“Don’t worry too much. Even if I die, there will be no one to blame for you and Geun-seok.”

He spoke crudely, but the old man’s words were tinged with affection.

“So I’m not saying that. Don’t ever say that again. Chairman, since you are still correcting it, nothing will happen until Geun-seok matures and becomes a full-fledged son.”

Dilling! The two of them continued the conversation of an affectionate couple, who were still worried about their young children, until they heard the intercom on the bedside table.

“Who is it? this time?”

The old man said something as if he was offended by the interruption of our private time.

“What happened?”

The soft voice from a while ago disappeared, and the woman asked the intercom with a slightly hard voice.

– Sorry for being late. An accident has occurred. I have to report urgently.

“I see. Come in.”

The woman answered, and after a while I heard the door open.

“President. It was a big deal.”

A woman who appears to be in her mid-thirties who served as the secretary of the watch rushes in and reports with a bewildered look on her face.

“What’s up? what else happened? Is it Malaysia?”

“no. in America… … The master.”

“Are you Geun-seok?”

It was the woman’s side who responded first.

“They say you have been arrested by the police. With drug use and assault… … .”

“what?”

The old man’s voice was full of anger.

“where are you now? Is it the police station?”

The president’s wife’s voice rather calmed down.

“Did you send a lawyer?”

“yes. We are currently discussing bail. However… … .”

“Do not worry too much. It is said that the United States does not punish simple drug offenders as harshly as in Korea. Assault is just an agreement. I’m more concerned about the president’s blood pressure. Secretary Yoon, let’s go out and talk. Don’t worry the president.”

The president’s wife got up from her seat and said.

“it’s okay. I’m not that shocked either, so just say yes.”

Chairman Liu refused.

“okay. So how are things going now?”

“It doesn’t matter to me that you were taken to the police station… … .”

“What? Do you have any other problems?”

“yes. in fact… … The scene where the master is using drugs at the club and the scene where he is assaulted… … And even the scene of being arrested by the police… … Someone recorded it and uploaded it to the internet.”

“what!”

“what?”

Sharp shouts from both inside and outside resounded at the same time.
