Chapter 150 – #146 Desire Twists the Higher You Go
***
A space where various antique furniture and rare items are placed.
Looking at the cool breeze and the falling leaves outside the window, the old man is lost in reminiscence.
‘It was probably like this at the time.’
The first time I met him was around this time in the fall.
The moment I met him for the first time at a public bathhouse by chance, I decided that this guy could make my grand dream come true.
My dream that I had to give up due to physical limitations.
25 years to run after that.
A period of time that can be said to be long in some ways and short in other ways.
‘I’ve grown a lot.’
Maybe soon you’ll surpass me.
If only I could accumulate a little more variety of experiences.
Get up from your seat
Then, as if she had waited, a young woman came up to her with her clothes and helped her dress up.
“Even if we leave now, we have about an hour left, Master.”
“But let’s go ahead.”
Maybe he’ll come out early too.
“All right.”

“Um… Miss. But…”
“Ah, you don’t have to worry~”
Incheon International Airport.
Two women are arguing with big men.
They were Lim Ha-na and Lim Seo-yeon… Isn’t that true, wasn’t Seol-ah’s son kidnapped overseas and suffered a big problem?
It was because the mothers who were worried about that were constantly attaching security personnel.
However, if there are too many guards, it is not fun.
Especially uncomfortable from my point of view.
Despite the fact that I had saved someone from my side, the parents sent someone here on the day of departure, as if they were worried about it.
Elementary school students who look at them with interest.
“Do you think it’s a house where the two of you live well?”
“What is it?”
“Ohhh…”
Hearing that they are the children of chaebol families, the fox is a bit nervous, and Min-ah reacts as if it is just that.
Anyway, at the moment when the fight got longer and attention was drawn to what to do, a man and a woman approached from afar.
A group of people quietly followed behind him.
It was my teacher and Lingling.
“Is the old man here?”
“Huh? Grandpa?”
“Hello.”
Two children saying hello.
Min-a smiles, expressing her delight, and the fox, who now knows who they are, shakes hands with her slightly stiff face.
Then he tapped her on the shoulder and said in her direction.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of. I don’t know about the old man here, but he’s nothing special.”
“What does that mean, Do.Hyang?”
Do-hyang and Ling-ling start a war of nerves from the start.
Dohyang seemed to want to emphasize to her successor that Lingling was her subordinate rather than herself.
Lingling also seems to have noticed that momentum quickly.
“It’s literally. But I guess you’ve been working hard on your body lately? Older people would like it if your breasts were a little longer? Are you sucking these days?”
“Kuh… That’s none of your business…!”
She should have just responded by saying that she sucks well, but due to her personality, she is a Ling-Ling who can’t lie about things related to her teacher.
In the end, the first round ended with a K.O. Getting lost
Do-hyang was able to firmly stand his nose in front of his successor.
In the meantime, the teacher who approached me.
The children who were arguing with the bodyguards look at us with curiosity.
“I guess these are the children you mentioned.”
“Hello. But Mister, who is this old man?”
“Hey, Imhana. Be careful. It’s not normal at first glance.”
“Oh yeah?”
Seo-yeon gives her a glare, but Im Ha-na is a child who squeaks her short language even to her mother. She just tilts her head.
In response, I approached the two and quietly introduced the teacher.
“This is Kang Tae-baek, an old man living in retirement at the Hansung Group.”
“Eh? Me, really?”
“Um…? Who is that?”
I tried, but I still can’t understand what’s going on.
Seo-yeon is beside him and helps her explain.
“He is the second-in-command of the Hansung Group and the younger brother of the current chairman.”
“Awesome. But why is such a great person here?”
“That’s right, because what I’m going to do abroad this time is with this person, right?”
At the same time, when I pointed to the security personnel with a nod of my head, they said yes and immediately sent them back.
Let’s say that the Hansung Group also has a second-in-command bodyguard, and the bodyguards immediately understand and withdraw.
That’s how I was able to easily rectify the situation by selling out my teacher’s name.
“Then let’s go in now.”
While waiting in the VIP lounge, talk with the teacher.
Then, when I sneakily looked at the children, I noticed that they got along well without fighting.
“They say it’s surprisingly bad. So, let’s go from here!”
“Oh oh…”
To be honest, Hana and Mina weren’t worried at all.
Im Ha-na’s personality itself is just enjoying life, not the style of taking pictures of others, and in the case of Min-ah, it was because she was the type of person who didn’t care at all about whether or not the other person was good.
I was worried about the other two children…
Fortunately, the fox laughed it off, whether it was because he thought of me or because Do-hyang, his teacher, was nearby.
Even Seoyeon, who has a slightly angular personality, seems to be in a good mood as well.
‘More than anything else, he said he wanted to make real friends.’
A child who learned the value of friends after going through the WSS crisis.
I don’t know if she really has such thoughts, but she didn’t notice any actions or remarks like abusing her status as a conglomerate.
As my eyes were fixed there, the teacher asked with a small smile.
“Your new child…Was it Yerim? She doesn’t look bad. Yes, she’s an obsession?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Hmm… Certainly. Even while the girls are having fun talking to each other, all the attention is on this side… It’s just like watching Ling-Ling when she was young.”
“Ah. But compared to Mr. Lingling, her appearance is much inferior.”
Then, Lingling, who heard the story from the side, she clears her throat.
And she speaks with her eyes.
‘Seohu. There is no soup either. Don’t give meaningless compliments.’
I’m still picky.
Ling-Ling doesn’t like it when men other than her teacher praise her.
At that time, she said to her Dohyang, who was next to her.
“Then who do you think is prettier between me and Lingling?”
No need to worry.
That’s it, of course…
“Dohyang, you are prettier.”
Then, Lingling’s face hardened.
With her eyes wide open, she says.
‘Get out and die!’
Really… I hate compliments.
If someone else is prettier, I will cry.
“Fortress Lingling… Are you menopausal?”
“Pu-pu-haaaaa…!”
Bang.
Oh. I accidentally turned my thoughts into words.
Thanks to that, I was able to see Lingling’s cold, sharp eyes.
Do-hyang rolls over while holding her belly next to her, and the teacher bursts into laughter.
“Stand after…!”
“Ah, I’m sorry. Lingling. That… You know what I said was a mistake, right?”
“I do not know!”
In the end, she kicks her seat and heads for her bathroom with a sigh.
Her scent winks at me and follows.
As a hand signal, she said ‘I’ll take care of it myself’, but judging from the mischievous expression on her face, it was clear that she was going to scratch her planting.
‘Whoa… At times like this, Ringling and Dohyang are completely children.’
Again, focus on the teacher.
The old man asked me in a low voice when the children who had been quiet for a moment started talking again.
“You’re thinking of putting that kid into this job?”
“Yes. It would be nice to experience it at least once more.”
“That’s right. That’s a very good idea. I’ll have to look for a suitable spot.”
A master who plans each work by hand.
He always surprised me by arranging his manpower in the right place, as if he was several moves ahead of the game of Go.
Even if someone has an accident, it is basic to have someone else take care of it at any time, and even if any external unexpected accident occurs, it is planned so that it is resolved without problems.
‘It must have been unavoidable since he was playing as the focal point on the field.’
There is no separate conductor, but a situation where the actor has to conduct and act.
As he has been doing the work for decades, the master always spent a lot of effort and time in making plans.
If there is something I really need to learn from my mentor through this work, I think this is probably it.
Of course, you won’t be playing on the field this time.
“By the way, who are we meeting?”
When I asked because I hadn’t received anything yet, the teacher opened his mouth and stroked his chin.
“Well, maybe you can tell me by now. My name is Charles Miller, a New York senator.”
“What about the request?”
“I’ll go and listen.”
Hmm… Senator.
It’s been a while since the old governor.
I can’t imagine what kind of work I’m going to ask for.
“It seems that there are no decent people there.”
“The higher you go, the more twisted your desires are. Didn’t you see a lot?”
At the same time, he pointed at Seoyeon with a nod of his head, and he nodded in agreement.
The kind who trample on others and get great joy from them.
Perhaps the teacher knows more about the mother and daughter than I do.
Since WSS entered the conglomerate, they have always been monitoring their family’s every move.
“But it won’t be like that in the future. I don’t know about the mother, but her daughter certainly does.”
“I was quite surprised when I first heard your report. Well, people change somehow after going through big things.”
The old man shakes his head.
Showing a pleasant smile
“If it grows up right and right, it will be a good stepping stone for the Hansung Group and WSS. But the opportunity is good, so raise it well.
To a teacher, it is the same whether the opponent is a child or an old man, poor or a chaebol.
Just a tool to use. Nothing more, nothing less.
The master leaned back in his chair and concluded his words quietly.
“Even though it’s annoying, if you continue to eat your dick, you’ll be comfortable with your old age. So, have a tug-of-war periodically and make her a slave. A bitch who can’t live without you.”
