March 21st marks the second anniversary of Zhou Zhengyong's death. All members of the Hyundai family gathered at the family cemetery in Gyeonggi Province to pay homage to their ancestor.

Zhou Zhengyong's fourth brother Zhou Shiyong, sixth brother Zhou Xiangyong, second son Zhou Mengjiu, third son Zhou Menggen, fifth son Zhou Mengxian, sixth son Zhou Mengzhun, seventh son Zhou Mengyun, and eighth son Zhou Mengri all showed up.

In addition to Zhou Zhengyong's funeral, this was Zhou Shulan's second visit to the Zhou family cemetery. She respectfully placed orchids in front of Zhou Zhengyong's tombstone, and then bowed to mourn.

Song Yi has complicated feelings towards Zhou Zhengyong. He feels that Zhou Zhengyong did not trust him during his lifetime, but for the sake of his grandmother, he still left him a legacy of 10 million US dollars. Without the legacy provided by Zhou Zhengyong and the protection of being a member of the modern family, he would not have achieved such rapid career success.

After all, Song Yi's grandmother was Zhou Zhengyong's most beloved sister when he was young. Ever since she married a Korean, Zhou Zhengyong has had no news of her. It was this obsession with finding his relatives that led him to drive 500 cattle across the military demarcation line between South and North Korea a few years ago.

After Zhou Shulan finished her tomb sweeping, it was Song Yi's turn. Song Yi cleaned the area around the tombstone and placed a money flower made of 10,000 won. Yes, just like the bouquets made of RMB in some flower shops, but in Korea, these are used to commemorate the deceased.

The flower shop has creatively designed the money flowers and embroidered them with crochet. These crocheted money flowers are very exquisite and the flower shell packaging is also very beautiful.

Zhou Mengjiu looked at Song Yi's actions and said nothing. In his eyes, his father Zhou Zhengyong was frugal by nature and might not be used to Song Yi's extravagant behavior. However, Xinya was able to develop so well. Could it be that Song Yi was really the third-generation heir designated by Zhou Zhengyong? This made him feel very frustrated.

Zhou Shulan was the last one to visit the graves among the second generation of the modern family, and Song Yi was the first one to visit the graves among the third generation of the modern family. In previous years, this position was often given to Zhou Mengjiu's eldest son Zhou Yixuan, but no family member questioned this, not even Zhou Xiangyong and Zhou Mengri, who had a bad relationship with Song Yi.

Song Yi said to Zhou Zhengyong in his heart: "Uncle, if you are still alive, please bless the smooth opening of the tourist railway line from Zhujin Station to Gaocheng Station."

"In addition to the East Sea line, North Korea also intends to open a freight line from Fengdong Station to Wenshan Station in South Korea. After this freight line is opened, the goods produced by South Korean companies in the Kaesong Industrial Park can be sent to South Korea through the freight line and then sold to the world."

"Once North Korea has benefited from the freight and tourism lines, it will no longer use the excuse that South Korea threatens its security to arbitrarily cut off the inter-Korean railway, regardless of whether a progressive or conservative party comes to power in South Korea."

"Once these two peace railways that have been disconnected for more than 50 years are connected, they cannot be easily disconnected again. It's like the window of peace that you fought so hard for the North and the South, and then you lose it so easily."

"By the way, Ji Yi and Joo Yi's marriages have been decided. Ji Yi will marry Gu Guangmo, the fourth-generation heir of LG, and Joo Yi will marry Song Jianhao, the son of the new president Song Woo-seok. They are both very outstanding young Koreans. I believe that Uncle Meng Xian's branch will develop better and better. Whether you believe it or not, I always hope that the Eshan line can develop better and better."

Song Yi took the Maotai from his assistant, opened the bottle, and poured it into the soil in front of Zhou Zhengyong's tombstone. "When the Gyeongui Line and the Donghae Line are fully opened, I will bring good wine to tell you the good news."

Although there was a distance between them, Zhou Shiyong could still smell the aroma of Maotai. He couldn't help but ask Song Yi, "Song Yi, what kind of wine is this? I can smell the aroma from so far away."

Zhou Shiyong's son Zhou Mengkui is the president of Xinya Construction and the person in charge of the real estate business of Modern Media Real Estate Group. Zhou Shiyong and his son have a good relationship with Song Yi. Modern Industrial Development Group, Xinya Construction and Eshan Construction often cooperate together to acquire land and develop together in South Korea.

Zhou Shiyong originally planned to let his son Zhou Mengkui take over the Hyundai Motor Group. However, Zhou Mengjiu, with the tacit approval of his father Zhou Zhengyong, drove his fourth uncle Zhou Shiyong and cousin Zhou Mengkui out of the Hyundai Motor Group.

Zhou Shiyong respected his elder brother Zhou Zhengyong very much, so when his nephew tried to seize power, he immediately abdicated so as not to make a fool of himself in front of other chaebol families.

However, although Zhou Shiyong was willing to give up his position, he was unwilling to let his son Zhou Mengkui live on the Hyundai Industrial Development Group. After all, Zhou Mengkui's personal ability was not inferior to Zhou Mengjiu, and he also served as the chairman of Hyundai Motor.

When he realized that Song Yi would become a new variable in the Xiandai family, he immediately instructed the Xiandai Industrial Development Group to actively merge with the Xinya system. The Zhou Shiyong family is also the third largest shareholder of the Xinya Media Real Estate Group, second only to the Zhou Mengxian family.

Zhou Shiyong's health has not been very good in the past two years, and even for important activities such as tomb sweeping, he needs the support of his son Zhou Mengkui.

"Fourth uncle, this is the red-capped Moutai I brought from the mainland. Isn't the Zhou Zhengyong Gymnasium in Pingjing opened? So I wanted to report the good news to my eldest uncle, and brought him some good wine to celebrate. This old Moutai is priceless." Song Yi said.

Zhou Shiyong nodded, "You are also a filial child. Mengxian and Enxuan are still struggling in handling the North Korea-ROK economic cooperation project, so you should give them more help. When we run a business, we want the capable to be promoted and the mediocre to be demoted. We don't do things like seniority or forming cliques. You want the capable to do more work."

Zhou Mengjiu and Zhou Yixuan, father and son, felt a little uncomfortable when they heard Zhou Shiyong's praise for Song Yi. Zhou Mengjiu and his son relied on Hyundai Motor Group to win over most of the Hyundai family members. Zhou Xiangyong's family, Zhou Mengyun and Zhou Mengri all followed Zhou Mengjiu to make a living.

As a result, Song Yi did not play by the rules. Not only was he as close to the Eshan Group as a family, he also reached a cooperation with Zhou Menggen's family's Modern Department Store through HugeDream Cinemas.

If Zhou Mengzhun's Hyundai Group and Zhou Mengkui's Hyundai Industrial Development Group are included, Song Yi can compete with Zhou Mengjiu in the Hyundai family. Zhou Mengzhun was appointed as the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism at the behest of Song Yi. Song Yi's huge influence in the new government forced Zhou Mengjiu and his son to avoid him.

After the tomb sweeping, the modern family members were ready to leave. When Song Yi was about to say goodbye to the elders one by one, Zhou Shiyong spoke up, "I've heard that Song Yi has changed to a Silver Angel worth more than 1 billion won. I'm old and can't stand the bumps. I'll take Song Yi's car back later. Song Yi, do you mind chatting with an old man like me?"

Zhou Mengjiu, Zhou Mengxian and Zhou Mengzhun all looked at Song Yi. They knew that Zhou Shiyong must want to find Song Yi for something.

"I'd love to have the opportunity to listen to my fourth uncle's teachings." Song Yi was stunned for a moment and quickly opened the car door for Zhou Shiyong.

After Song Yi got in the car, the driver raised the partition glass, leaving Zhou Shiyong and Song Yi a private space for conversation.

Zhou Shiyong had indeed stood for too long today. He was a man in his seventies and looked a little tired.

"Song Yi, I heard that it was you who recommended Jin Chengguo, the head of the delegation visiting North Korea, to Song Yuxi?" Zhou Shiyong asked.

"That's right. I think Jin Chengguo has been in charge of diplomatic affairs with North Korea before, and this time it can be regarded as a chance to make use of his expertise." Song Yi sat up straight and answered respectfully.

Zhou Shiyong looked at Song Yi, whose back was not even leaning on the leather seat, and smiled, "Don't be so reserved. I'm not your great uncle, so you don't have to pretend in front of me. Haven't you done enough lawless things?"

Song Yi's heart tightened. He didn't know what Zhou Shiyong was talking about. His relationship with Zheng Enxuan had ended long ago, and the place where they had dated was extremely secretive, so it shouldn't have been exposed.

"I heard that Jin Chengguo didn't have a good impression of you. He even dared to blackmail Zhong Xiaotong and asked him to approve a loan of 200 million US dollars for you, and then buy the shares of Eshan Group together with Zheng Enxuan."

"You are a man of some sense, allowing Zheng Enxuan to become the company's largest shareholder. If you were greedy and tried to control the Eshan Group by yourself, I would definitely have taken action."

"The plan of dividing Hyundai into three parts was proposed by you, one part goes to Meng Jiu, one part to Meng Xian, and one part to Meng Zhun. This plan was also approved by my eldest brother. If you had taken away the Eshan Group, Meng Xian would have been sent to the procuratorate. No matter which member of the family intends to bully Zhou Mengxian's family, I will not agree." Zhou Shiyong said.

When Song Yi heard Zhou Shiyong say this, he suddenly understood why Zhou Mengjiu and Zhou Xiangyong both tried to acquire shares of Hyundai Group after Zheng Enxuan became the chairman of Hyundai Group in his previous life, and the family was once again caught up in internal strife. It was because Zhou Shiyong, the pillar of the Hyundai family, had passed away.

"Fourth uncle, you are joking. I respect Uncle Mengxian and the others so much, how could I possibly take over their business?" Song Yi said.

"Others say that you are like my eldest brother, but I don't think so, because my eldest brother came from a poor family and started from the bottom of society. You act more like a rich young man, and are somewhat similar to Chen Bingzhe of the Samsung family. Your methods of doing things are very similar. You only look at the results, not the process, and you put profits first." Zhou Shiyong continued.

"You are able to recommend Kim Sung-guk to Song Woo-seok, which shows that you have the potential to be a business tycoon. After all, there are no eternal enemies, and even less eternal friends. Kim Sung-guk, who was hostile to you before, may become a help to your career in the future." Zhou Shiyong.

"I heard that you had some unpleasantness with Park Jin-hwan of the National Intelligence Service. Kim Sung-guk also used to be from the National Intelligence Service. Do you want Kim Sung-guk to make a contribution during this visit to North Korea, and then let Song Woo-seok replace Park Jin-hwan?" Zhou Shiyong continued.

Song Yi was full of admiration, "Nothing can be hidden from you, Fourth Uncle. You really have a keen eye."

Zhou Shiyong was very pleased. "Don't flatter me. My eldest brother was preparing to run for president in 1992. Although I didn't support his decision like Meng Jiu, I still made a list. We must know those officials whose positions are close to the Hyundai family. I have a copy of this list, and so does Lee Byung-kyu."

"I saw that Lee Byung-kyu later went to work for Asan Group, and I thought he had given this list to Meng Xian. Later, when I saw that Lee Byung-kyu left Asan Group, I realized that he had actually joined you a long time ago. Although this list cannot influence a presidential candidate, it will be no problem as long as you are willing to spend time and money to train a dozen future members of Congress."

"The Samsung family claims to be of aristocratic origin and is unwilling to do such a time-consuming and laborious task. After all, no matter which president comes to power, he needs to pay a visit to the Chen family. But if you have enough patience, after two or three generations of accumulation, you may be able to produce a powerful president like Zheng Puxi or Quan Zhanfa." Zhou Shiyong said.

"Song Woo-seok is a very friendly person. In other words, he is a good guy. The participation of all citizens in the government means that you want to please everyone. When you want to please everyone, you offend everyone. If such a person is impeached, he will easily be deserted by his friends and relatives."

"It's not a good thing to have too close a relationship with such a president. If you share the same fate, you will be implicated by him sooner or later. What we usually do is to bet on both the progressives and the conservatives, and not offend anyone easily. In this way, no matter who is in power, we can maximize our interests," Zhou Shiyong reminded.

"But if someone takes the initiative to provoke us, we will show our sharp fangs at the right time and kill the enemy with one blow. This way, outsiders will know to be afraid and will not easily cause trouble again."

"Although Song Yuxi wants to remove Park Jin-hwan, he lacks a suitable excuse. You have to do this kind of thing of handing the knife yourself. Only after Park Jin-hwan is kicked out of the National Intelligence Service, and you push Kim Sung-guk to the position of director of the National Intelligence Service, will other big conglomerates be afraid of you and stand in awe of you. Otherwise, no matter how rich you, Song Yi, are, you will not let them give up competing with Shin-Asia," said Zhou Shiyong.

Song Yi suddenly realized that perhaps Samsung, Lotte, and SK Group have also been watching Song Yi's actions to see whether he would fight back against Park Jin-hwan.

He moved out the statue of Song Woo-seok at the airport. Although this helped him avoid having to go to the National Intelligence Service for tea, he accidentally exposed Song Yi's cards, making people feel that the foundation of the New Asia system and Song Yi was not stable.

This time, Park Jin-hwan's attempt to take Song Yi away at the airport was an attempt. As long as Song Yi did not fight back strongly, investigations from the Procuratorate, the National Tax Service or the Police Department would follow.

"I understand, Fourth Uncle, I will handle it." Song Yi said.

When Zhou Shiyong saw that Song Yi did not ask him how to deal with Park Jin-hwan, he could not help but look up to Song Yi. If Song Yi asked him for a plan, then Song Yi would not be considered the best third-generation member of the modern family.

On March 28, South Korean President Song Woo-seok, accompanied by National Intelligence Service Director Park Jin-hwan, inspected the National Intelligence Service and took photos with more than 20 senior officials of the service.

From the 28th to 10 p.m. on the 29th, this photo appeared on South Korea's Naver website and was reprinted by many websites including Daum, Yahoo Korea, inschool, etc. This photo was placed in a very prominent position.

This group photo is large and clear. It was exposed on the Internet for 29 hours, and senior officials of the South Korean National Intelligence Service were collectively exposed.

According to South Korea's national security law, except for Park Jin-hwan, director of the National Intelligence Service, and four vice-directors, the remaining 22 intelligence officials are top secret and are not allowed to reveal their identities, let alone appear in public.

Once this photo is made public, it means that they will be transferred to other jobs, which will actually lead to the annihilation of all senior officials of the South Korean National Intelligence Service.

On the 30th, Shin Kyung-soo, the chief secretary of the Blue House, apologized for the leak and dismissed the Blue House photographer Zheng from his post and expelled him from the Blue House. Whether this intelligence leak involves foreign intelligence agencies remains to be further investigated.

On March 31, Park Jin-hwan, the Director of the National Intelligence Service, who was criticized by South Korean netizens for his incompetence, announced his resignation and took responsibility for the "leak gate" incident.

On the same day, Song Woo-seok nominated Kim Sung-guk, former chief of staff of the Blue House, as the new director of the National Intelligence Service, and the nomination was approved by the National Assembly.

Song Yi doesn't have time to pay attention to these little things. He is very busy now. He has to take care of the pregnant Kim Hee-won and celebrate Kim Tae-hee's birthday.

Besides Song Yi, Kim Tae Hee was the second person to know that Kim Hee Won was pregnant. Kim Tae Hee was surprised, "Ouni is pregnant? Doesn't that mean I will be your aunt?"

Seeing Kim Tae Hee's sincere smile, Jin Xiyuan felt a little guilty, "Tae Hee, I really have been taking contraceptive measures. This pregnancy is also an accident. I really plan to wait until you get pregnant before having a child."

Kim Tae Hee waved her hands, "Ouni, it's too distant for you to say that. It doesn't matter who gets pregnant first between us two sisters."

Since Kim Hee-won became pregnant, Song Yi and Kim Tae-hee have not taken any contraceptive measures, and Kim Tae-hee is also looking forward to the arrival of her first child.

Kim Tae-hee is very open-minded about this. She is the woman Song Yi married, and Song Yi has more than one lover, Kim Hee-won. Zhou Zhengyong has eight sons and one daughter. Even if Song Yi has other illegitimate children, it will not threaten the inheritance rights of her children. She is even more unwilling to quarrel with her biological sister Kim Hee-won over the issue of her children's inheritance rights.

"Sister, do you want to have a son or a daughter?" Kim Tae-hee touched Kim Hee-won's belly and asked Kim Hee-won curiously.

"It's okay to have a son or a daughter. If it's a son, he can inherit Oppa's handsomeness. If it's a daughter, I hope she can inherit your beauty and brains." Kim Hee-won said.

"Hmph, the baby is not born by me, so how can he inherit my beauty and brains? Sister, are you going to give birth to the child in Korea? I'm afraid that reporters will target you then, which would be a bit troublesome." Kim Tae-hee considered it very carefully.

"No, I will go to the UK after a while and stay there to give birth. Children born in Korea have to serve in the military, why let them suffer this?" said Kim Hee-won.

When Kim Tae-hee heard Kim Hee-won say this, she was distressed and held her sister's hand, "Sister, the filming of Dae Jang Geum has been completed. I will go to England to accompany you and take care of you."

Song Yi has an idea in mind. It may not be a good idea to let Kim's mother go to the UK to take care of the pregnant Kim Hee-won. If Kim Tae-hee is also pregnant, it is okay to let Kim's mother go to the UK to take care of the pregnant Kim Tae-hee. After all, it's the same to raise one sheep or two sheep. As for Kim's mother's anger after finding out that both daughters are pregnant, she will leave it to Song Yi after she returns home. 　Tae-hee's first child is a son, and Hee-won's first child is a daughter. Does anyone want to name them? Please reply.
