Li Zhenshu said:
"We are all family. It would be bad if any rumors were to spread."
"The incident with Sister Mingyun was completely a misunderstanding."
"It's best not to cause such misunderstandings in the future."
"I'll keep an eye on it."
Park Jin Hyuk looked at Han Ji Yeon strangely. He didn't understand why Lee Jung Suk was so concerned about this matter?
Han Zhiyan whispered in his ear:
"Li Mingyun is my cousin."
Park Jin Hyuk was stunned and slowly raised his head to look at Lee Jung Suk.
Han Ji-yeon's biological mother is Han Jun-hwan's college classmate. She comes from an ordinary family and could not have any connection with the Samsung Group.
"Could this woman in front of me be from the Samsung family?"
In this way, it is understandable why she has no children but is still able to sit firmly in the position of the wife of the president of Qingyu.
But if she has such a background, she doesn't need to adopt Han Junhuan's illegitimate sons to keep her current position. What is her purpose?
The value displayed above Li Zhenshu's head is 80 billion (about 423 million RMB). This number represents more than just the value of the head of the Qingyu family.

New Year is here.
For the past decade, after Park Jun-wan presided over the year-end management meeting, he would go to Southeast Asia to inspect subsidiaries and recuperate.
But this year is different.
The chairman is in China, and DS Group has decided to hold a group-wide groundbreaking ceremony (note: a ceremony to start work for the new year) at the beginning of the year.
From time to time, employees talked about:
"I heard the president will be speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony?"
"Well, all the group's executives and the presidents of each subsidiary will be in attendance. All group employees are required to watch the video of the meeting... The president will deliver an important speech."
"Isn't it an announcement of the successor?"
In previous years, when the chairman was not in the country, each subsidiary of DS Group held its own groundbreaking ceremony. However, this year the chairman suddenly returned to the country early and decided to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the entire group, which sparked various speculations.
"Is there any suspense about the president's successor? Isn't it just his eldest son?"
"Or is it an announcement that they've won the Brazilian power plant project?"
"This news has already been reported by the outside world..."
"We'll see then. There will definitely be some special news to be announced."
The day for the groundbreaking ceremony has arrived.
The subsidiary executives, led by Park Jin Hyuk, sat in the front row of the venue, waiting for Park Jun Wan to appear.
At this time, Jin Junyu came close to Park Zhenhe and said:
"Chairman, President Mao said he has something to report to you after the groundbreaking ceremony."
Park Jin Hyuk turned his gaze to Mao Dayong who was sitting in the back, and Mao Dayong nodded at him.
"Then let's meet at the back of the building after the ceremony."
As the chairman of DS Communications, Park Jin Hyuk does not have his own conference room at DS headquarters. When Park Jun Wan was not in the country, he used the chairman's office for a while, but now the owner of the office has returned.
So he chose the location behind the headquarters building to avoid being seen.
The host walked up to the podium and announced:
"The groundbreaking ceremony is now beginning! Please stand and welcome President Park Jun-wan to the stage to speak."
All the executives stood up, and under everyone's gaze, Park Junwan walked up to the podium.
He first talked about his thoughts on presiding over the groundbreaking ceremony for the first time, livening up the atmosphere, and then said:
"To all the executives from headquarters and subsidiaries present here, and to all the DS family members joining us via videoconference, I have important news to announce regarding the future of the DS Group."
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Park Junwan glanced at the entire audience and finally stopped his gaze on Park Jin Hyuk.
He originally thought that after releasing the news of the important speech, Park Jin Hyuk would come to him and say some soft words. If Park Jin Hyuk did that, he would be willing to ease the tension with his son.
However, Park Jin Hyuk not only did not do that, but seemed to be deliberately avoiding himself.
"What on earth is this guy thinking? Doesn't he have any interest in the position of chairman of DS Group?"
Facing Park Junwan's gaze, Park Jin Hyuk also looked directly at his father, saying in his heart:
"If I have to rely on begging and charity to get the position of president, that is definitely not what I want."
Park Junwan retracted his gaze and continued:
"I guess everyone has heard that DS Group and Qingyu Group have reached a deal to exchange DS Technology and Qingyu Energy. After the groundbreaking ceremony, the deal will be announced. Qingyu Energy will be renamed DS Energy and managed by DS Heavy Industries."
After a pause, he said:
"In the future, while supplying raw materials to DS Chemical, DS Energy's domestic distribution network will also create positive synergy. The acquisition of Qingyu Energy was a significant price paid by DS Group, but compared to the future benefits, this expense is well worth it."
Among the people sitting below, only Park Jin Hyuk knew what price Park Jun Wan would pay for this.
"DS Energy also possesses power plant construction technology. We will utilize this technology to implement the Brazilian power plant project. This business in Brazil will become a bridgehead for DS Group to enter South America. Over the next 10 years, South America will be a key region for DS Group to achieve leapfrog development. I solemnly announce that Xin Guoquan, Chairman of DS Heavy Industries, will be fully responsible for DS Group's South American business. Effective immediately, Chairman Xin Guoquan will be promoted to Vice Chairman of DS Group. Please give him a round of applause to congratulate him!"
Park Junwan pointed his finger at Xin Guoquan.
Xin Guoquan immediately stood up from his seat and bowed to Park Junwan and all the participants to express his gratitude.
However, no one applauded for a moment because the news was too unexpected.
"Please give a round of applause to express your congratulations!"
Only after the host reminded them did the people at the scene start to applaud.
The staff who watched the video began to talk about it.
"What's going on? Xin Guoquan was promoted to vice president?"
"Aren't all the meetings for the Brazil project chaired by Park Jin Hyuk?"
"Yeah, what's going on?"
Park Jin Hyuk, who was sitting at the scene, clapped his hands calmly and congratulated Shin Kuk-quan.
After the applause died down, Park Junwan emphasized again:
"The Brazil power plant project is a rare opportunity for both DS Group and our country. We ask all members of DS Group to give DS Heavy Industries our full support and assistance."
Many people are puzzled as to why such an important project was not given to Park Jin Hyuk but to Shin Kuk Jeon?
