After experiencing a tragic car accident, Liu Zhengjie, whose ancestors were from China and who was now an ordinary Korean worker, woke up to find himself the eldest son of the powerful Korean chae...
"What does my grandpa do?"
"Oh, you really don't seem to remember anything."
Aunt Zhang sighed and said:
"Your grandfather is the founder of Dongjing Industrial Company."
"As for Dongjing Industry, it's well-known in the construction industry..."
"Yes, that's Dongjing Industry."
It seems that chaebols all pay attention to matching social status.
Park Jin Hyuk had always thought that his biological mother must be the daughter of a wealthy family, but he didn't expect that she came from the Dongjing family, which is famous in the construction industry.
"The current president of Dongjing Industry seems to be a woman, right?"
"That's right. The current president is the second daughter, your aunt. Well, if the lady were still alive... I'm sorry, I'm bringing up such a sad story again."
Park Jin Hyuk had heard that the Dongjing family only had one daughter left.
She had originally been married to a doctor and had been a housewife for 20 years, but Grandpa Zhenhe, as the founder of the company, had to call her back to take over the company's operations.
At that time, people were worried about how a housewife with no management experience could manage a large construction company with an annual turnover of 10 trillion won (about 53 billion RMB)?
As expected, Dongjing's industry has been on a downward trend since this daughter came.
"Now this is the second daughter, so my mother is the eldest daughter in the family? So, I am also the eldest grandson on my mother's side of the family."
In the construction industry, Dongjing Industrial Company is one of the top five companies.
In this industry, most of the top 20 companies are subsidiaries of large conglomerates.
However, after growing stronger, Dongjing Company did not expand in a diversified manner like other business groups. Instead, it always focused on the construction industry and turned its attention to overseas markets. By developing overseas markets, it continued to achieve profitability.
However, Dongjing Industry has always faced an unsolvable problem, that is, the founder has no son to inherit the family business.
Although the current president's surname is still Li, the next generation will have someone with a surname outside the family as president.
"If I go to Dongjing Industry, will my aunt be willing? She has her own children, right?"
"Anyway...your grandpa is still around, so it'll be fine."
"How do I get along with my aunt's children, my cousins?"
Hearing Park Jin Hyuk's question, Zhang Ma lowered her head and said nothing.
It seems that the relationship is not very good.
"Just because I go back to my grandpa's house doesn't mean the problem is solved."
If he were not his grandfather's eldest grandson, perhaps people would not reject him so much.
But precisely because he is the eldest grandson, his aunt who is the president may not welcome him.
Although this nephew lost his mother at an early age and had a pitiful life, it would be another matter if he threatened the status of his aunt and her son.
If he comes, the inheritance rights of the company may fall into the hands of his nephew. Who would be willing to face such a change?
"Grandma, I think it's better to stay here than over there."
"Young Master."
"Think about it, this is my home turf, but what about Dongjing Industry... Although my grandfather is there, he's also the grandfather of those cousins. Even if he likes me, I've never lived with him, and I don't know the situation over there. So staying here is probably the best choice."
"...Master, how could you have fallen to this point..."
Mother Zhang grabbed Park Jin Hyuk's hand and cried sadly.
If Park Jin Hyuk's mother were still alive, he would never have fallen into such a state.
Logically speaking, he is the eldest son of the DS Group and the oldest grandchild of Dongjing Industry. No matter which side, he should be the most valued among the next generation, but now he has become a person who is disliked by everyone.
What's more, there are people who are eyeing him hungrily, wanting to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Only then did Park Jin Hyuk realize that his future path was full of thorns.
"Grandma, think positively. No one can do anything to me, not even the president. If they don't do anything right, it might shake the very foundation of the DS Group. As for Dongjing Industry, I don't have any feelings towards it, so they naturally can't do anything to me. You don't have to worry."
"I'm glad you think so, Master. Don't be discouraged. You are the eldest son in both DS Group and Dongjing Industry. This is a fact that no one can change."
"Don't worry... I'll go get some rest. You don't have to prepare dinner for me. Please go back early."
Park Jin Hyuk comforted Zhang Ma for a few more words, then got up and went into the locker room.
After changing into his home clothes, he walked into the study and sat down on the swivel chair.
"Before, my daily worries were about survival and how to fill my stomach. But now, the nature of my worries has completely changed. I am also facing the issue of survival, but this survival is in the true sense - it is life or death!"
If he is not careful, he might be locked up in a mental hospital and end up living the rest of his life!
If my father could see through the true faces of those people, things might not have developed to this point, but my father just let them do whatever they wanted and allowed them to stir up trouble.
It seems I can only rely on myself from now on.
Park Jin Hyuk crossed his legs and turned his chair while thinking.
What are your advantages and disadvantages now?
He has a pair of eyes that can recognize value, and he is the eldest son that no one can replace.
But his disadvantage is that he becomes a completely unfamiliar person like Park Jin Hyuk and is caught up in an extremely cruel power struggle.
"If I were still Liu Zhengjie, I'd probably be eating ramen and worrying about finding a job. But now, at least I don't have to worry about food. What if I win the power struggle? Then I will be the chairman of DS Group. It seems that power struggles are not all bad things."
After figuring out these problems, Park Jin Hyuk actually relaxed.
