The Youngest Son of Sunyang

Chapter 89 Who's the Boss of This House? 2

"So, what do you want? What do you expect me to do?" Jin Dong-gi seemed just as frustrated and annoyed. His polite and courteous tone had become a bit rougher.

"Isn't it enough for you and me to handle this Sunyang family food fight on our own? What if someone we don't know about is preparing to intervene in this fight? And what if that person, whom father has provided with everything, is the one? It's unsettling."

"I've understood enough; just get to the point."

"Let's ask father. Who is this person he's been spoon-feeding, and why? If father is taking such care of them."

"Hyung, you've always been like this. Don't you know? Whenever a problem arises, you rush over and start whining. Isn't it getting old?" Jin Dong-gi didn't show the same level of deference to his older brother as before.

Although he had heard harsh words from his younger brother, Jin Yeong-gi's mood didn't sour. It felt like a long time since he had regarded his younger brother as more than just a competitor.

"Sure, if I go alone and whine, that's one thing. But what if you and I go together? Instead of whining, we can ask about the business situation and offer our help. We can tell him that we'll do our best to make the Dae-ah Construction acquisition and the huge project a success. This way, it becomes a business discussion, not whining. Right?"

Jin Dong-gi contemplated his brother's proposal and, in line with his brother's advice, considered his father's likely response. It didn't seem like a bad idea.

However, thorough preparation was necessary. If they were ill-prepared, they risked receiving a scolding from their father.

"To avoid whining, we need to be well-prepared, right? How about we share information as brothers for once? We both know things, right?"

As Jin Dong-gi proposed exchanging information, Jin Yeong-gi raised his hand and pointed at his younger brother.

"How about you?"

"I guess it has to be me. Firstly, it's not Yoon-gi. I've talked to Yoon-gi, and he has one thing in mind. Yoon-gi also developed an ambition for the sake of my son, Do-jun. He wants to leave something for Do-jun."

"Yoon-gi? That's surprising."

"He's still a father. But he confided in me. If he had ambitions for the Sunyang Group, he wouldn't say such things. It probably means he wants me to take care of Do-jun enough so he won't be disappointed."

Jin Dong-gi spoke of a different possibility, excluding the preparation for the food fight.

"Our father regards Do-jun highly, and Do-jun doesn't want to disappoint our grandfather... In my opinion, Do-jun is more likely."

At his brother's words, Jin Yeong-gi shook his head. "No, Do-jun's future has already been decided."

"How so?"

"Do-jun seems to be grooming himself as a financial specialist, an expert in investment and M&A."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. He's been diligently learning under Oh Se-hyun."

Both of them fell silent simultaneously.

Except for Jin Yoon-gi and Do-jun, there were no other suitable candidates. Their third brother, Jin Sang-gi, was eliminated early on, and their younger sister had no room to interfere.

Could there possibly be hidden children?

Various thoughts crossed their minds, leaving them both bewildered.

They had to confirm before it was too late. In the worst-case scenario, they would have to prepare for their father's disapproval.

"Listen, the eldest and the second son." Chairman Jin smiled bitterly as he looked at his two sons. "If you're going to call yourselves the successors of Sunyang, you should be able to distinguish whether the other party is holding a sword or a bouquet of roses, shouldn't you?"

His unexpected words left his two sons puzzled.

"H-holding a sword?"

"Don't you remember? It was just three months ago. They came with 1 billion dollars, exchanged it into our currency, and took it as a foreign exchange fee. It included the shares of the group held by A-jin Motors. I've never seen such highway robbery in my entire life."

The two sons had their mouths wide open. Wasn't this completely different from what they had in mind?

"Is it really true that Miracle has no connection with you, Father?"

"Why? Should I be angry because I was robbed?"

"No, but if there's no connection, isn't this an extremely unfair deal? Why did you accept such conditions?"

"What if I hadn't?"

Under Chairman Jin's piercing gaze, the younger son who had asked the question quickly closed his mouth.

He needed to remain calmer. It was a time when daily payments ranged from tens of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars during the overseas hot money settlement. It was a financial situation that was difficult to withstand for even a month, and he himself had despaired of the possibility of bankruptcy.

Even if it were additional conditions, he would have accepted them.

"I apologize. I misspoke."

"Ordinary people tend to easily forget difficult times once they've passed."

The word 'ordinary' struck a chord in him. Could the one inheriting Sunyang afford to be ordinary?

"But, Father, didn't you send all the employees, including the CEO of Sunyang Motors, away? It doesn't seem like you just lost people, right?"

"The acquisition of Dae-ah Construction was the same. If they were armed robbers, wouldn't it mean we don't need to help?"

However, the doubts of the two sons had not disappeared yet.

"But, Father, even though you sent everyone away, it doesn't mean they were taken from you, right?"

"Before you start questioning me, why don't you try to understand my thoughts? And isn't it a bit presumptuous for you two to question my decisions? Tsk, tsk."

The two sons quickly raised their hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Oh, please don't misunderstand, Father. We're not questioning you. We're just trying to understand it since it's difficult to comprehend."

"What is it? Like setting up a giant horse during the war... and there were soldiers hidden inside..."

"Are you referring to the Trojan horse?"

"Yes, the Trojan horse."

"So, the reason we sent our Sunyang people away..."

"Of course. We have to retrieve them, don't we?"

Both sons couldn't lift their faces, feeling embarrassed.

Having heard all of their father's plans, at this moment, they realized that they were nothing more than sons who complained at the age of over fifty.
