Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

＜ Scale of Chaebol Family ＞

My aunt jumped up at the sound of leaving.

Still, rather than trying to see him off as a nephew, he calmly walks away.

My aunt brushed my shoulders lightly and smiled.

“Looking at it earlier, did you buy a bunch of your mom’s?”

Have a good eye too.

I nodded.

“Hey, you can’t buy clothes at random like that. You have to choose the right one.”

My aunt, who was shaking her shoulders, held my hand.

“let’s go. My nephew came all the way here to visit us, but my aunt needs to buy clothes for our cutie to wear tomorrow.”

what?

Before he had time to decline, Aunt opened the door to the president’s office and went out.

Executive Director Kim and Yoo Jong-tae were waiting in the hallway.

“Executive Director Kim, call up all department store executives. We’ll start a countermeasures meeting in a moment.”

“Again…?”

Come to think of it, the executive meeting of Taeseong Department Store had just been held in the president’s office and had just been disbanded.

“The problem of securing VIP customers for Taeseong Department Store hasn’t been solved yet, has it?”

“Here, boss. It’s not a problem that can be solved by calling again and again. Take your time and think about it, and prepare even the appropriate countermeasures…!”

“Is that why I didn’t give you time until now? A countermeasure that did not come out even if I squeezed it out, it seems like it just came out, so don’t spit out and call me. hurry!”

“Yes, I understand!”

Executive Director Kim hurriedly jumped out.

The aunt held out her business card to Jong-tae Yoo, which was held between her fingers.

It was a golden business card.

“Chief Yoo, take this.”

No, why did you give that business card to Jong-tae Yoo and not to me?

“My nephew did the filling in my mom’s closet, so this aunt should be responsible for filling my nephew’s room. Manager Yu fills my nephew’s room with this. I told you to put it on credit, do you understand?”

“of course. thank you!”

Without hesitation, Yoo Jong-tae quickly accepted his aunt’s business card and took it.

It was a huge gift.

“This is my aunt’s response to the favor shown by our cutie. You say you feel sorry for me when a favor is ruthlessly rejected? This is kind and gentle, right?”

Yoo Jong-tae raised his thumb.

A proud smile hung on Yoo Jong-tae’s lips.

“yes. My aunt is the best!”

“Oh, look at the smile. It’s just like me, boy. I don’t know if someone resembles something like that in case he’s not my nephew, heung.”

My aunt winked at me with one eye.

“Take a good look. My aunt will teach you how to shop at the department store.”

So my aunt took me down to Taeseong Department Store.

To be honest, I was a little curious.

‘The sons of conglomerates learn how to shop at department stores, but don’t they?’

Just looking at what my father and aunt are doing.

The cuteness and booties come out from the sophisticated and colorful outfits and nicely decorated appearances.

‘Hmm, shall we see the eyes of the aunt who runs Taesung Department Store?’

Will he be able to surpass Master’s discernment of a hawk’s eye?

Running a pawnshop and sweeping up valuable real estate doesn’t usually take a keen eye.

Also, department stores also need an eye.

Looking at the splendid outfit and the luxuriousness of every item she carries, I am looking forward to seeing her aunt as well.

* * *

But what is this?

“It just suits you. buy!”

As soon as the clerk at the children’s clothing store held the clothes hanging on the hanger to me, the ok sign fell.

“Now it is also pretty. buy!”

What happened is that every time I brought clothes on the hanger, “Okay! buy!” only make a soundFrom noble mtl dot com

Not once, ‘It doesn’t suit me.’, ‘It’s not good.’, ‘Something else.’, ‘I don’t like it.’ Aren’t the words the same?

This made me even more curious.

“Hey, aunt? I think they buy too randomly.”

“no it’s not? I’m choosing with a hawk’s eye right now? Oh, that’s fine too! buy!”

no, aunt.

I don’t think this is normal shopping right now.

Is it normal for conglomerates to shop like this?

The words I wanted to ask stuck in my throat.

“Oh, Bocchan, you look good! You must buy it! It suits you perfectly!”

It was because of Yoo Jong-tae, who was clapping next to his aunt with the same expression and repeating similar words.

Why is that person doing that again?

“Auntie, I don’t need so many clothes.”

“no. It all fits well. You should buy it because it is pretty.”

“I’m growing up soon. I can’t wear all of this.”

But the aunt shook her head resolutely.

“There’s no guarantee that you’ll fit in this well next year. buy.”

“Well, then how about this one? I buy other clothes that are a little bigger so I can wear them next year…”

“Abandon that poor poor mentality!”

After all, are some other principles applied to shopping in chaebol houses?

I thought I presented a very reasonable alternative in my own way.

“I will never wear that outfit next year. Just buy your size now.”

“why? It’s well-made, luxury children’s clothing, so I don’t think it will look worn out next year, right?”

“Look hoggies! The fad will pass by next year!”

From noble mtl dot com

No, why are you so sweet?

“When I shop, I only look at one thing. Does it fit or not? Is that what shopping is all about?”

From noble mtl dot com

No, I usually look at the price.

I look at whether it is for a gift, look at the quality, look at the cost-effectiveness, and consider whether or not I need it.

I shop like that, am I weird?

“okay. Since we’ve become cuties, we’re only shopping for clothes here. Then you should also pick out shoes and a hat that go well with that outfit, right?”

“yes?”

“Once you choose clothes, you have to buy accessories that go well with them as a set. Don’t you know anything about that?”

“…”

“It’s not the basics of shopping. Follow me. Will your aunt kindly teach you one by one today?”

That’s how I was dragged by my aunt and stuck in a 3-hour shopping hell.

‘How come five miscellaneous goods come with one set of clothes? This is the basics of shopping?’

It feels like the common sense I used to know is collapsing.

Over 10 minutes shopping? why not?

“Aunt, if you buy so many things, taking out and using them is also a job. Buy in moderation.”

“Is it difficult to take out and write? Then you can buy furniture. Let’s go, buy some furniture!”

“…”

From noble mtl dot com

No, how does the shopping list expand infinitely every time I say something!

I was forced to shut my mouth.

“Mmm, I just picked twelve pieces of furniture. Hey, do you have all of this in your house? Why don’t we go see an apartment?”

I stopped abruptly.

no more! I can’t stand it!

Right now, it’s going around the department store floor three times!

“Cash, please. I will take care of the apartment.”

“A new apartment must have a lot more to buy, right? Then, let’s start shopping in earnest from now on…”

“Auntie, executive meeting!”

“oh!”

The aunt then checked her wristwatch.

“I can’t help it. Then, let’s simply go around department stores and grocery stores. My cutie was having a hard time shopping, but would my aunt be very upset if I sent her back without giving anything to her mouth?”

And again, and again, the shopping list multiplied!

“If you want to go home and bring something to eat… Hey, do you have enough refrigerators at home?”

Going to the electronics store?

I stopped and raised my hands.

“My mom is worried because I’ve been out for so long. I’ll just go home.”

“Oh, I see. Then come back with your mom. At that time, my aunt will pick out my mother’s things too.”

“…”

Somehow, I felt like I knew why my aunt came to run the department store.

The world of women’s basic shopping… was so profound and vast.

Just looking into that abyss for a moment made my teeth tremble.

“Then see you tomorrow? I pick out the clothes my aunt bought for me and wear them out. Understand?”

My aunt hummed and disappeared briskly.

Yu Jong-tae and I, who were left behind, were stunned in a daze.

“…”

It was because enormous items were being moved busily in paper bags, no, even paper boxes.

Department store employees are sweating profusely while piling up a one-ton truck full of packed goods.

Huh, this is so amazing.From noble mtl dot com

No, that was only part of what I bought.

The queue of department store employees continued endlessly.

“Boss, it seems that the truck will not be enough. Shall I call a moving truck?”

The shopping scale of chaebol families is terrifying!

I had a terrible feeling that my common sense had been mercilessly smashed.

“Chief Yu, is shopping for chaebol families like this, or is my aunt’s shopping special?”

“…”

Yoo Jong-tae looked back at me with a ridiculous face.

“Boss, the things that are being loaded onto that truck right now. Did the Bocchan buy them all?”

uh, can that be?

“From here to here. The difference is that the boy went around the luxury goods store like that, and the aunt went around the department store, choosing one by one.”

“…”

“Basically, it seems that Bocchan resembles Auntie perfectly.”

oh, that can’t be!

* * *

When I woke up, it was the first day of the new year.

‘It’s scary. The aftereffects of department store shopping!’

I went around the department store floor three times in three hours.

As soon as I got home, I ate dinner and washed up, I fell asleep as if I had passed out.

‘The first day of the new year is three days long?’

In the 21st century, there was only one holiday on the first day of the new year.

Come to think of it, that’s from 1999 onwards.

‘Usually the presidents of large corporations celebrate New Year’s Eve, but I don’t know what Taeseong will be like. I heard that the family invited us to eat a bowl of rice cake soup and say hello to the New Year.’

In any case, there was no word to my mother to set the table for the holidays.

That’s it.

“Jeonghyuk, are you awake?”

My mother wore the clothes I bought at the department store yesterday, put on a pearl set, had her hair done beautifully, and put on her make-up.

There is no lady.

“Mom, Happy New Year.”

“Happy New Year to Jeonghyeok too.”

smart smart

“It’s time to go to my grandfather’s house. I will be late for breakfast.”

My father also wore a suit and even a coat.

He is a nobleman with a great hanger, but his taste in choosing clothes is so sophisticated that there is no model.

They were a really good pair.

“Happy New Year to you too, Dad.”

“Yeah, Happy New Year to Jeonghyeok too.”

When I opened my arms, my father smiled and hugged me.

The heavy, sophisticated scent of perfume struck me.

‘My father died in a plane crash today, the first day of the new year.’

My mother, who died of briquette gas poisoning a little earlier, is smiling at us father and son.

Suddenly, the tip of my nose tingled slightly.

“Mom, Dad, all three of us live happily together for a long, long time.”

Oh, the main book is just disgusting.

I quickly changed the subject.

“Go quickly. It’s my first meeting with my family, and I don’t want to be scolded for being late.”

So we headed to Pyeongchang-dong early in the morning to greet the New Year and have breakfast.

* * *

‘No, what is this scale?’

My grandfather’s house located in Pyeongchang-dong, Jongno was grand.

To be honest, I didn’t think that our house in Hannam-dong was a place worth going anywhere.

Our house, with a building of 114 pyeong on a site of 700 pyeong and a swimming pool, was majestic enough to look shabby.

Grandpa’s mansion was a conglomerate house with five two-story buildings with one basement floor on a site of about 2,800 pyeong, and more than 8,000 high-end garden trees planted.

‘No, what are these cars again? Are you having a meal with your family? Eating a bowl of tteokguk modestly and saying hello to the New Year?’

The 50-car parking lot was filled with luxury sedans.

When my father got out of the car, middle-aged gentlemen in suits rushed to greet him.

“Bocchan, are you here? Happy New Year.”

“Chief Kim, it’s been a while. I wish you a happy new year.”

“Boss, it’s been a while. I don’t know how many years this has been. Welcome back.”

“President Park is also here. Happy New Year.”

The presidents and executives of Taesung’s 38 affiliates stopped walking toward the mansion and were delighted.

‘Did I come to say hello to the new year?’

It is said that the threshold of the houses of political and business figures wears out in the new year.

There are so many people who come to take a snow stamp with a thick gift as an excuse for New Year’s greetings.

“Brother Seongjun, it’s been a while. You are in charge of Taesung Construction, right?”

“Chief Shim.”

Among them were the president and executives of Taesung Chemical.

‘This is Shim Won-cheol, president of Taesung Chemical!’

He’s someone I’ve been wanting to meet, but I’m seeing him here like this!

He was a talent I had my eye on.

He was the number one person I wanted to recruit as the president of my investment company’s pants.
