The Youngest Son of Sunyang

[017] The Age of Ordinary People 2.

“Oh no! You're giving me too much homework. Haha.”

Congressman Park's good laugh.

It was a smile that made me feel better.

“My shoulders are lighter because you've made such a big decision. All right, I'll draft it from the right line. ”

“I'm going to be prepared for this... Senator, we need to avoid any malfeasance at the Chungwa University. Draw a picture you will be satisfied with. Haha.”

One more step and yield. What is Grandpa's plan?

“Here, here. It's too dark for me... Now I know, right? Speak, Chairman. ”

Oh, I didn't notice either. There's a reason you're so conceited!

I couldn't tell just by looking behind me, but my grandfather seemed to be smiling.

“Then I'll leave you with a note. Last year, we were talking about democratic teeth, and now workers are walking down the street. The crickets run, and so does the Mudskipper. It's barely worth living now. ”

“Oh, you mean the problem? ”

“Yes. A gun strike. There's no factory that works. They're the ones who go to the streets when they close the company door... This is... ”

Riding a wave of democratization, workers poured into the streets to find their rights.

What Jyn is saying now is that he wants us to stop them.

“Well, that's a priority for us too. Don't worry too much. The inauguration is so early, I'm restraining the hardship, but I'm going to fix it before the Olympics. ”

“How many months is that going to be a problem? Only hold the key in the right direction. ”

“You don't have to worry about that. Is there anything else? ”

“You must be busy with your hugs, right? ”

“Are they ever not busy? Ah! God, again... Haha. ”

Senator Park smacked his head and burst into laughter.

“I think the union is in trouble. ”

“We've received several reports that their movements are unusual. ”

“I heard Crucible Intelligence is the equivalent of huggings, but can't it be our children?" ”

“How can you compare the country's intelligence agencies to a few of the fast-paced salespeople? It's not fair.”

Are you giving a hug just to keep track of the union's trends?

It is the power of money that has been invested so far that we can use powerful national institutions in this way.

How much money did they give you?

“I'm going to rotate three or four lines. You'll see the results soon enough. ”

“Thank you so much for this. ”

My grandfather's last greeting ended the conversation. After exchanging favors with each other, you hear the door open and the footsteps go away.

And...

The sliding door opens, revealing Chairman Jin.

“Joon, you've been waiting a long time, right? Have you eaten a lot? ”

He pulled the dining chair close to me.

It's only been two months since the winter break, and Chairman Jin asked about the past two months as if he had met in a few years.

Study hard is all I can say.

While I was talking, Chairman Jin checked on the dining table.

“Dojuna.”

“Yes.”

“Tell me the truth. Did you hear everything Grandpa said in that room just now? ”

Empty dishes, little food left. He noticed that I neglected to eat.

You'll like it when you say you heard it all this time, right? A slight open sliding door is obvious to me on purpose so I can hear it.

But eavesdropping is not a good thing. I lowered my eyes and shook my head, the child's natural behavior when I was wronged.

“Son of a bitch. Keep your head up. You can't keep your head down if a guy's touching you. ”

I felt Jin stroke my head. A hand without warmth. He's getting old.

“Do you understand every conversation this grandfather has had? ”

I have an expectation.

What if I nod my head now? That expectation will turn into joy, but it cannot. I shook my head.

I have already given enough joy. You have to share a little when you need it to double your joy. And it was too political for an 11-year-old to understand.

But I wanted to give him a little gift. I'm not cruel enough to look away from that disappointed look.

“But I have a question. ”

“Curiosity is good. What is it?”

“You work for the president who was with Grandpa, right? ”

“Servants? Something like that. ”

Jin was curious as to what questions I would ask.

“Why is Grandpa meeting with his subordinates? If you're the president of the largest company in our country, shouldn't you be meeting with the president? ”

I was genuinely curious. Although he is the emperor of the Six Republics, it is not a class for the chairman of the Crucible Group to meet in person.

I wanted to hear why.

“Dojuna.”

“Yes.”

“When you go to school, you hear rumors like this, right? Some of them are really nice, some of them are really good at fighting. Isn't that right?”

“Yes, I hear a lot. ”

“Especially if your friend who is spreading the rumor is very close to Joon or trustworthy like a captain, you will think the rumor is accurate. That's the trap. ”

An exact rumor trap. No, it's a trap when you trust the courier.

“You can't trust what other people say. Even friends. The more important it is, the more so. Always check in person. ”

“So you saw it for yourself? ”

“Yes. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for helping you. And... it's a lot of things. ”

“Yes.”

Chairman Jin, who was watching me nodding my head and answering, confirmed it to me again.

“Do you remember what your grandfather used to say to you? Something important? ”

I rolled my head very quickly. What do you want to see at this point?

“You don't have to know what Grandpa says, but don't forget. And remember it whenever you need it. Is that correct?”

“Yes, that's right. Likewise, remember what I just said. ”

“Yes, Grandfather. ”

“And one more thing. You should be a listener, not a descriptor. ”

One more thing: the person who listens, chooses and decides. Today, Chairman Jin did not surrender to the realities of the current regime.

This is also the context of following the big picture drawn by the government. It is not too late to listen to Senator Park's plan and make a decision. If you don't like it, you can change it by appealing to the realistic difficulty.

Chairman Jin only respected his tone of voice and instructed Congressman Park to submit the plan as he had instructed below.

The first person to offer is the abbreviation and is Eul.

When I realized Jin's truth, I smiled on my own. I don't know how I interpreted my smile, but Chairman Jin was also satisfied.

“Unfortunately, today we must be satisfied that our JooJooJoon saw his face. This old man's a little busy. Instead, come to Grandpa's house on Children's Day. Let's play together.”

“Yes!”

I had to answer very happily. Nobody hates Children's Day.

Jin returned his grandson to the main room. I don't know when he showed up, but the middle-aged man who was sitting on the couch jumped up as Chairman Jin appeared.

“Just sit down. You're so hard. What are you being so polite about? ”

“No, it's a habit. Haha.”

“Did you take good care of Senator Park? ”

“Yes, downstairs in the special room. I gave her a new lyricist to take a break while smelling the booze. ”

“Well done. That human woman is out of her mind. How's the ballroom?”

“I handed them over to the attending beginners one by one. And…"

The middle-aged man added with a slight increase in the tail of his mouth.

“I also noticed the flirtatious models at the banquet hall. I ordered them to arrange seats at the end of the banquet. ”

It's a place where you can identify who likes money, who likes women, and who likes them both at once.

Of course, those who stay away from women and refuse money will come out.

It is an advantage when spreading bribes widely. A list of people who need to be filtered will be created quickly and they will receive intensive care.

How many days have you been elected and drooled over a woman for money?

Those who are so careless end up in Congress once and for all. Not twice.

Focused care should be cultivated and made in mild amounts. Aren't these the crucible bottles of the crucible?

“Well done.”

I think we're done for the day. Chairman Jin relaxed and raised his cup of tea.

“What do you think? What do you think Senator Park will bring out? ”

“Does it matter what you bring out? Our cruise only needs Soviet natural gas resources. ”

“Are you confident? ”

The middle-aged man did not avoid Jin's gaze at him.

“LNG is falling in. It's a cruise table. You have to eat well. I'm confident.”

In Jin's eyes, looking at a middle-aged man who smiled and replied, there was endless trust.
