I Became a Scoundrel of a Chaebol Family -
Chapter 232
The moment we stepped out of the auditorium, we were met with tremendous applause.
As soon as I became the CEO, I was immediately given a salary raise of 1 million won, and next year, it will be increased to 2 million. There's no reason not to support this. If it were me, I would have applauded like crazy too.
"The important thing is loyalty. Conditions like the contract, salary, and such can be changed easily. As long as you remain loyal to me. Do you understand what I’m saying?"
"Yes. Of course, master. I will make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Good. Let’s do well."
Throughout the tour of Shinmirae Daily, I kept Hyun-ju by my side.
Anyone who saw us would have thought we were a CEO couple on a company inspection, as I kept her close by my side.
Though I had just become a department head, not yet in a position to oversee the entire company, with me as the owner pulling Hyun-ju along, and mentioning her during my salary increase speech, I would be able to wield influence that transcended ranks.
If the employees remain loyal to me, it will be even easier.
‘If I can buy the loyalty of the entire group with just tens of billions of won, then this is the cheapest deal there is.’
The executives also kept bowing to me as they went around.
They seemed to have difficulty even dealing with Hyun-ju.
It’s clearly working.
Though there might be some nasty rumors about Hyun-ju spreading behind her back, compared to what’s gained up front, it’s a small matter.
After finishing the tour of Shinmirae Daily, we headed to the rooftop with the AV pad.
Just before boarding, I spoke to Hyun-ju.
"I’ll give you a separate card for living expenses. If you need money here, just use that and let Soo-ah know later."
"...Thank you for your convenience, master."
"If you’re really grateful, bring me a shitty house later."
"...Yes."
Hyun-ju deeply bowed, and the executives of Shinmirae Daily, who had been observing from a few steps behind, hurriedly bowed as well.
I watched them and then got into the AV.

"Since we acquired a media company, should we also start a broadcasting station or maybe buy one?"
Shinmirae Daily was certainly a large media company.
Especially in Incheon, it could exert significant influence.
But once we acquired it, I felt a sense of insufficiency.
Even if we centered around Mityube for broadcasts, it seemed like running a professional video channel would be better for future expansion.
"Ah, then should I tell Koryo Entertainment about it?"
"I’ll say it myself. Tell Emilia and Na Tae-hee to come to the mansion."
"Yes. Understood."
Even inside the AV, business continued.
It wasn’t like I was diving into the details, but more like giving the overall direction.
Of course, there were areas where I needed to pay attention to the finer points.
"Give me a look at where Muyeol's financial funds are tied up."
"Yes."
Most of the cash (around 10 trillion won) of our group was tied up in Muyeol Finance, which had been investing in safe assets following the Shanghai incident.
Thanks to that, the return rate was currently +1.9%.
Considering the period, scale, and items, it was a pretty good result, and this alone had earned a tremendous profit of 190 billion won, but I still couldn’t be satisfied.
‘Now that the new year has started, the companies are about to appear.’
In the original work, many unicorn companies emerge.
They are companies that were founded recently or were started with a small amount of capital but grew enormously.
But there's no special background for that; it’s just for content.
The users need to make money, and the stock content was part of that mini-game.
As a result, the companies didn’t appear with a proper portfolio or history. They were simply system-generated "companies that need to rise in price," a rough idea.
Real Productions had a similar feel.
‘The fact that these companies will actually increase in value ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) was proven with Real Productions. The CEOs’ actions also proceeded the same way.’
Unless there’s a huge anomaly, these companies will definitely experience tremendous growth.
"This list I’ve made."
"Ah... Is this another investment list?"
Before I even finished speaking, Soo-ah reacted.
It seemed like the memories from the Real Productions investment came to her mind.
"Yes, that’s it. But these are a little different. Some companies here might not have been established yet. They might still be in the process of founding."
"Eh?"
"The names under the company are the founders. Go and tell them we’re investing, but we won’t touch the management rights."
"...."
Soo-ah looked at the list with a bit of hesitation.
I also thought it was a crazy order, so I understood her reaction.
"Sometimes, master, you... it's like you know the future."
"Yep, that’s right. I can see the future."
"...."
She said that but doesn’t believe it.
"Just tell them that we fully support them, and instead, we just want the shares. And these things can just be bought on the exchange."
"Understood. I’ll pass it along."

As we arrived at Muyeol Land Mansion and got off the AV, I received a call from Go Hayan.
As expected from someone with grace, she first asked for permission.
Wondering what it was about, I replied, and she started with a preamble about the cards.
It had only been two days since we parted, and she was already asking why I hadn’t used the card.
It wasn’t likely that this was the main reason.
She really seems to dislike Minji.
The more she does, the more my desire for a threesome burns.
She switched topics.
It seemed like this was the main point.
Of course, I couldn’t refuse.
It wouldn’t make sense to, especially after I accepted the card from her during the last meeting.
The gifts from Go Minji, who permanently loaned the Pacific Knight 1st Squadron, and Go Seonyul, who gifted me the Jeju Contemporary Art Museum with all its artworks, were quite significant, but theoretically, the unlimited card gift from Go Hayan was the most valuable.
And now she’s asking to meet?
It would be unreasonable to refuse.
‘Come to think of it, this is totally a trap.’
Since I’ve received far more expensive gifts than the total value of the companies I own, there’s no justification to turn them down when they ask for something.
Maybe they gave me these expensive gifts precisely for this reason.
‘I don’t really care, but the feeling is strange.’
Go Hayan was silent for a moment, then replied about a minute later.
"..."
Her response felt a little off.
It’s true that both Go Hayan and I would be boarding the super yacht for the first time, but...
Was it really necessary to use that word?
It feels intentional.
In February, there’s the Lunar New Year family gathering, and before that, we are planning a major event with influential people from all over Incheon, hosted on the super yacht.
So the time to use the yacht with her will be before mid-January.
Of course, it’s possible to extend it past February, but that would delay the schedule too much.
I feel like I’ve barely attended any of them.
It happens every Saturday.
"Seo-ah, we’ll need the yacht on the 16th, so make sure to prepare for it. Hayan is coming."
"Ah, yes. Understood."
Even though my secretaries were busy preparing for the event, Soo-ah, startled, immediately took down the note.
