Although he was uneasy, Park Jin Hyuk did not show it.
Because he knew that although the man in front of him was his father, he could also be the person who posed the greatest threat to him.
"I really didn't notice. What happened?"
"Because of the Paris flu, business trips have dropped dramatically, and your brother's company is facing enormous difficulties. He says they only have enough money in their account to last for two or three months. I estimate that they may not be able to hold out for even another month."
"I've heard that the impact on low-cost airlines is relatively large."
"Yes, large airlines at least have long-term cargo contracts, which they can maintain while waiting for the situation to develop. However, LCCs are different. Their business is focused on passenger transport, which makes it difficult to maintain. The aircraft they purchased and leased this time encountered this incident before they could even be put into use, so it was a huge blow."
Park Jin Hyuk looked at his father and asked:
"Aren't you going to help them?"
"Me? Why should I help them?"
"Although Xianghe's company is not a subsidiary of DS yet, it is still Xianghe's business. It will become a member of DS Group in the future, right?"
Park Junwan shook his head.
"It wasn't my idea to start this business. It was your mother's idea."
“But now, isn’t it Sang Hyuk who is in trouble?”
Park Junwan put the spoon on the table.
"What does Sang Hyuk's matter have to do with me?"
Park Jin Hyuk looked into his father's eyes.
He wondered if his father meant what he said or was testing him.
A smile appeared on Park Junwan's face. He picked up the rice spoon again, took a sip of soup, and said:
"You don't have to worry about anything else. Just take care of your own affairs, just like you did with your uncle this time. Xianghe's affairs should also be handled by himself. Whether he lives or dies depends on his own ability. If he doesn't have this ability, no matter how much you help him, it will be useless."
Park Junwan took two more bites of rice, then looked up and said to his son:
"A few days ago, you told me that you would handle my uncle's affairs and that you didn't want me to interfere. I was very happy to hear that. Because from the beginning, I had no intention of interfering. You saying that actually made me look at you with a new perspective."
"From the beginning, you didn't intend to interfere?"
"Yes, there's only one person who can sit on the DS throne. My father, your grandfather, established the principle of primogeniture after founding the DS Group, hoping to avoid internal disputes over the succession. However, this was only your grandfather's opinion. His brothers and nephews didn't see it that way. They believed they had contributed to the development of DS and therefore deserved a share... I understand this, but their share must remain within the DS Group and they cannot leave the group."
As he spoke, Park Junwan's expression became serious.
"Ultimately, I was able to sit in my current position after a fierce competition with my uncles. After sitting in this position, I finally understood why my father didn't just get rid of my uncles and pass the position to me."
The question that Park Jin Hyuk has been thinking about finally got an answer today.
His father always let Park Soo-wan do whatever he wanted, and the same was true for Oh Seo-young. Even when the relationship between Park Jin-hyuk and her became so bad, he never stepped forward to mediate.
Park Jin Hyuk kept wondering, was this his father testing and training him?
"When you said you wanted to take the initiative, I was a little surprised. You've always been the one taking the beatings before, how come you suddenly got it? I feel very relieved after reading today's news. Are you also satisfied?"
"Maybe the uncles will have to stay in jail for a long time."
"If you lose, you have to accept the penalty. Isn't that normal?"
"I see what you mean."
Park Jin Hyuk nodded.
"I also prepared a gift for you."
"Gift?"
"Congratulations on your victory."
Not only was the father indifferent to the fact that his younger brothers were about to be sent to prison, but he felt very fortunate.
Suddenly Park Jin Hyuk realized that he had never seen or heard of his great uncle.
Could it be that their experience is worse than Park Soo-wan's?
Park Junwan waved his hand and someone handed him a document.
He placed the document in front of Park Jin Hyuk.
"Let's take a look."
It can be seen that his father was in a very good mood today. He could have given him the gift while drinking tea after dinner, but Park Junwan was already a little impatient.
Park Jin Hyuk opened the file.
The document did not contain anything special, but the people involved caught Park Jin Hyuk's attention.
Qingyu Chemical.
Park Jin Hyuk looked up at Park Jun Wan.
His father smiled and said to him:
"This is a memorandum of understanding signed with Qingyu Chemical. The content is that Qingyu Chemical and DS Chemical will share patents in the future."
"That's a good thing, but why is it a gift for me?"
"This is the first step towards the merger of Qingyu Chemical and DS Chemical, so of course it's a gift for you."
It was originally thought that the plan had been scrapped after Hancheng Group suffered a heavy blow, but it was finally facilitated by Park Junwan.
Park Jin Hyuk certainly understood what his father meant.
Once my father makes up his mind about something, he will definitely see to it that it comes to an end.
Although Park Jin Hyuk has expressed his attitude several times, his father doesn't seem to care what he thinks.
Park Jin Hyuk suddenly felt resentful.
"Didn't I tell you? I don't want to get married yet."
