"What did you say?" Han Ji-yeon asked in confusion.

Although Park Jin Hyuk is only in his 30s, he has developed the habit of going to work in the company early in the morning like the older generation.

He often goes to the company to work overtime on weekends, so in Han Ji-yeon's view, he is a complete workaholic.

Usually among the first generation of entrepreneurs, there are many people who work so selflessly, but in the second and third generations, there are very few people who work so hard. But Han Ji-yeon happened to encounter such a person, so when she heard that Park Jin-hyuk didn't want to work anymore, she was naturally very surprised.

"I plan to completely hand over the management of DS and Qingyu to Vice President Hyun and President Jin Chengren."

"What about you?"

"From now on, I plan to invest through JH Investment and spend more time enjoying life."

"Really?" Han Ji-yeon looked at her husband in disbelief.

"You don't believe it?"

"I don't believe it. You love work so much." Han Ji-yeon shook her head like a rattle.

"Sitting in the chairman's office every day, commanding thousands of troops and conquering the market, does bring me great satisfaction...but now that the company has grown to a certain level, I plan to take a break."

"Sanfeng Group... has been taken over by you?"

"Almost there, but I need you to do me a favor."

"You need my help?"

"Yes, you are the only one who can help me with this."

"Oh, what's the favor?" Han Ji-yeon was already impatient.

After the news that the U.S. Attorney General ordered an investigation into the Mitutoyo Group, Mitutoyo's stock price began to plummet.

Some banks decided not to extend the maturing bonds of Sanfeng. For the first time, the bonds issued by Sanfeng Group were not fully sold.

Sanfeng bonds were originally rated AAA, but now they are classified as high-risk bonds.

Under this situation, Sanfeng Group, which originally had ample cash, gradually ran out of cash, and the confidence of bondholders and investors in Sanfeng also began to waver.

Recently, the outside world has been saying that after the last breakdown of talks, the Blue House and DS Group have started to re-contact, because someone saw Park Jin Hyuk having a secret conversation with the chief secretary of the presidential office at Park Ruien's wedding.

Some people speculate whether DS intends to re-participate in photovoltaic projects in the United States.

Others believe that this is a tactic used by DS to gain support for the National Pension.

That day, Kim Jun-woo hurried into the chairman's office and said to Park Jin-hyuk, "Chairman, this is outrageous... Lee Sang-woo actually asked you to visit him."

Park Jin Hyuk looked up at Kim Jun Woo, "Where is he?"

"At the headquarters of Sanfeng Industry."

"Haha, is he starting to put on airs?" Park Jin Hyuk thought for a moment and asked, "Who are the shareholders who support Lee Sang Woo?"

“It’s mainly Bank A, Bank B and Asset Management Company C, as well as some small and medium-sized creditor companies.”

Park Jin Hyuk lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Jin Junyu whispered, "President, maybe I'm wrong. Li Shangyu wants to invite you over..."

"No, your intuition is correct. He has indeed become arrogant and thinks he has already won the game."

Recently, Han Ji-yeon also conveyed some messages to Park Jin-hyuk.

Lee Sang-woo’s wife had never been seen at gatherings of wives of chaebol chairmen before, but she has started to show up recently.

While keeping her distance from Li Xianyu's wife, she is working hard to build her own small group, trying to increase her influence, and constantly spreading rumors that Sampoong may disintegrate.

"How do you think we should respond to Lee Sang-woo?" asked Kim Jun-woo.

"Contact Vice President Li Xianyu immediately and tell him I want to see him."

"Let him come over?"

"Yes, let Li Shangyu know about this at the same time, so that he will understand that if he wants to see me, he has to come to me instead of asking me to go there."

In the eyes of others, Park Jin Hyuk often appears to be very easy-going, which gives many people the wrong impression.

In fact, Park Jin Hyuk's easygoing nature is conditional. Once those conditions disappear, he will ruthlessly cut off ties with the other party and will not give the other party a second chance.

Jin Junyu had a strong premonition in his heart that because of his arrogance, Li Shangyu lost the opportunity that he had already obtained.

After receiving a call from Park Jin Hyuk's office, Lee Seon Woo immediately agreed to meet.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the public, one night, Li Xianyu led more than 50 entourage members to the DS headquarters.

Kim Jun-woo asked most of his entourage to wait downstairs, and only let two personal secretaries accompany Lee Seon-woo to the floor where Park Jin-hyuk's office was located.

Jin Junyu entered the office and reported: "Vice Chairman Li Xianyu of Sampoong Group has arrived."

"Please ask him to come in."

Jin Junyu turned around and said, "Please ask the two secretaries to wait outside. Vice President Li, please come in."

Except in the Blue House, Li Xianyu has never encountered such a situation.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked into the office.

"Hello, President Park." Li Xianyu said first.

Park Jin Hyuk sat on the sofa, just looking at Li Xianyu without answering.

It was Jin Junyu who said from behind: "Please take a seat."

Only then did Li Xianyu walk over and sit down opposite Park Zhenhe.

Kim Jun-woo left, and now only Lee Sun-woo and Park Jin-hyuk were left in the room. Park Jin-hyuk finally broke the silence, "How are you doing recently?"

After a moment of silence, Li Xianyu said in a pleading tone: "I hope you can help me with this matter."

"...I can help you, but are you ready to give up something?"

Li Xianyu didn't answer for a long time.

As the vice president of Sampoong and the actual person in charge of Sampoong Group, he never thought that he would fall to the point of begging Park Jin Hyuk. All this was due to his underestimation of the opponent in front of him.

Li Xianyu had observed Park Jin Hyuk's face before and asked his personal fortune teller about it. The fortune teller said that Park Jin Hyuk was destined to have a romantic life and liked women very much. He also said that he would not live past the age of 30.

Because it was completely inconsistent with the facts, he went to find a reclusive fortune teller. After looking at Park Jin Hyuk's photo, the master also said that this person had passed away.

After some thought, Li Xianyu concluded that DS's previous success was mostly due to luck rather than Park Jin Hyuk's own ability, but reality gave him two heavy slaps in the face.

Seeing that Li Xianyu did not answer, Park Zhenhe said: "It seems that you are not mentally prepared yet, so is there any need to talk?"

"No, I'm ready."

"...That's great. This makes things much easier. Of course I'm willing to help you. After all, we're related... But let me be frank. I'm afraid it's impossible for Sanfeng to avoid a split this time."
