Can You Make A Nuclear Weapons Too?

Chapter 33

“Good morning.”

My steps on the way to work were exceptionally light today.

Secretary Kim, who was quick-witted, quickly followed the room and looked at my mouth with the most curious expression on his face.

“Are you going well?”

“You can do that.”

She couldn’t tell her about her specifics right away.

First of all, the ballistic missile development project itself is classified as a confidential matter, and there are also requests from the Ministry of National Defense and the National Intelligence Service.

First of all, until Jaewoo is definitely selected as the developer. So, sadly, she has to keep quiet until she’s done her signing her Confidentiality Pledge.

“I will stop by the president in the morning, so please prepare a car.”

Of course, Chairman Jin is an exception.

Of course, the government cannot even cover the eyes of the chief executive of a company who may be in charge of the business.

“Yes sir.”

Secretary Kim did not ask any other questions.

If the NIS was involved anyway, she would be aware that secret stories were coming and going, so she must be protecting what she has to protect.

After all, a veteran secretary is different no matter what.

“President?”

I tried to talk to Chairman Han Myung-ho before going to the headquarters right away.

Hearing over the handset is quite businesslike, perhaps because I was sad that I hadn’t contacted him for a while because he was busy.

– What are you doing? First make the phone call. What if I hold on to things at the most, but don’t have time to put it off?

“Sorry. These days, even ten bodies are not enough.”

-I don’t know, by the way, when are you going to start again? The real estate market is booming these days, so you might miss out on all the good stuff.

“I’m sorry, but I think the auction will have to be delayed a bit. I might go on a business trip soon. Instead, I will take you to a good fishing spot as soon as I return.”

-fishing?

Chairman Han changed his attitude at once.

His only hobby is fishing, so it’s cold.

In the end, I was only able to bring out the main topic only after making an exact date and time appointment.

“No matter what, if my father asks if I have ever borrowed money from the president, please answer yes.”

-Isn’t it true that I ever borrowed it?

“Of course it is. I just want you to be silent about its use.”

-·········.

Silence ensued for a while.

Do you think you have caught the number?

As expected, his tone was a little sarcastic.

– I don’t know what you’re planning, but I’ll do it for now. There is only one condition.

“what······.”

-If you need to go fishing, go to the sea. Actually, I have some things to discuss with you while looking at the sea.

“I do that.”

It felt like something else was happening.

Well, that’s something you’ll find out when you come back later, and I’m glad I got his cooperation right now.

“Okay. Then, come and see you.”

*****

Cheeky!

In the late afternoon, after finishing the meeting, we hurried to the group headquarters.

Now, in the midst of rushing to relocate the headquarters of each company to Gangnam, the traffic jam has become serious even on the leisurely Gangnam-daero.

“Is the president there?”

“Yes, Manager. You are still waiting.”

The attitude of the president’s secretaries was markedly different from before.

The same goes for the executives I met while passing by.

Before, I tried not to make eye contact like that, but now I feel anxious because I can’t say a word any more.

“I’m here…”

After a brief knock, there were passengers in the chairman’s room.

Around the late 50’s?

What is unusual is that he had a particularly surprised expression on my appearance, and it seems that some secret story has been coming and going.

“Your father is here. Then I will.”

“No, let’s share the words. I will be back in a little while.”

“It doesn’t matter, come in.”

Chairman Jin discouraged me from turning around.

After that, the middle-aged man passed me straight out of the room, and Chairman Jin raised his voice again at me, who had been staring at him for a while.

“What are you doing? If you come, don’t sit down.”

“Who is that?”

He asked, putting his buttocks on the sofa.

As if expecting the question to come up already, Chairman Jin responds with an expressionless face.

“This is Dr. Kim Tae-soo, the director of Jaewoo General Hospital.”

“Why is the hospital manager suddenly here? Where are you okay?”

“I’m not here because I’m sick, but to tell you about the results of my recent health checkup.”

he said calmly.

Since there is nothing much to say about the results, it seems that there is nothing particularly wrong with it, but at first glance, the complexion does not look very good.

“As I reported yesterday over the phone, I met the Minister of Defense and the Director of the National Intelligence Service.”

I put aside the questions I had been asking for a while and presented the report.

Was he nervous too?

The hands examining the documents were unusually trembling.

“·················ogue.”

“Yeah, after I got your call yesterday, I also spoke to the defense minister. This is so… it’s embarrassing to see so many facts popping up that I didn’t even know existed. What about the alternative ballistic missiles?”

“I am sorry about that. Since the work itself was so sudden, there was not enough time for me to give you an opinion in advance. By the way, are you really okay?”

Those were the words of Chairman Jin’s hand, which was trembling to the point that he thought it was severe.

Because it was just too much to be called epilepsy.

However, Chairman Jin had an attitude that seemed to be insignificant.

“Oh, this hand? I’ve been feeling a little tired these days, but I guess that’s why. In fact, this was the reason I had an unexpected health checkup.”

“Are you sure there is nothing wrong?”

Chairman Jin stared at me as I asked the question again and again.

Pom, who looks like a smiling face, was probably unfamiliar with me worrying about his health.

“Don’t worry, Dr. Tae-soo Kim just went after notifying him that there was nothing wrong.”

The word worry was particularly stuck in my ears.

Come to think of it, why am I so worried about him?

This goes beyond just the feeling of being the parent of a friend, sometimes without even realizing it, I feel as if I have really become Hyunseung.

“I’m not worried. It’s true that my father still commands the surroundings until he is 90 years old.”

It wasn’t a joke, it was the truth.

I remember running to hear the news of his passing around the time I was given the position of director of ADD.

In fact, his death can be called a hosang, and it was said that the yangban, who was alive until the day before his death, closed his eyes as if he was sleeping the next day.

“What kind of shaman are you?”

“I’m not a shaman, but I think I have a little bit of shininess.”

“A hoarse sound.”

As if it wasn’t something he didn’t want to hear, he smirked.

By the way, in a normal state of health, is it possible for your hands to tremble like that?

Somehow, that’s a bit suspicious.

“Anyway, the defense minister said that you secretly bought ballistic missile technology from the Russian military, is that true?”

“That’s right.”

“Where do you have the money for that?”

Chairman Jin looked at me with suspicious eyes.

A moment that would have been embarrassing if I hadn’t taken action beforehand.

However, there is nothing to be afraid of as we have already agreed with Chairman Han Myung-ho.

“I borrowed it from Chairman Han Myung-ho.”

“who?”

Chairman Jin looked at me as if embarrassed.

But right now, I have no choice but to use him as an excuse.

To put it bluntly, the cost of purchasing technology is not even a penny or two.

Because it is impossible to deceive Chairman Jin, who already has a keen eye on the size of the assets I have.

Even so, Chairman Jin narrowed his eyes, as if he was interested in borrowing a corporate bond.

“Twitter, no matter how close we got, in the end, why was Chairman Han’s money … with what was the collateral?”

“There is no such thing as collateral.”

“What are you talking about? A nobleman like a chairman lent money without any collateral?”

He asked with a surprised expression.

After all, how easy is it for a loan shark to lend money without any collateral?

“Actually, he owes me something recently. It’s hard to tell you the details right now, so all you need to know is that.”

“What the hell did that gentleman owe you? By the way, how much did you borrow?”

“About a hundred billion or so.”

The reason why I dared to use the amount of 100 billion won is because I had actually borrowed that much money from a president before.

Well, although that money was actually invested in an auction, Chairman Jin doesn’t know such details.

Moreover, in case such a situation arises, he has already kissed the president, so it doesn’t matter if he calls to confirm.

“A hundred billion?”

“Even President Han was surprised when he heard the first amount.”

“It’s not natural. Do you know that 100 billion is enough to be borrowed by any large corporation?”

“of course.”

“Heh heh, I wonder if the alternative distribution is good or if the concept of numbers is lacking. By the way, the Russian government couldn’t have sold ballistic missile technology for only 100 billion won, right?”

“The money went to the military, not the government, so it cannot be said that it is small.”

“·················ogue.”

“As you know, 100 billion is a lot of money for Russian generals who are about to lose their jobs.”

“Well, it’s a different story when it comes to the military. They are the ones who want to sell portable anti-tank missile technology for only a few million dollars. But what if the Russian government finds out? When the real thing appears in the future, it will be clear whether it is their technology.”

“There is a way to deal with that, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Chairman Jin looked at me, who was overly confident.

After taking a sip of the water that the secretary had brought, he spit out a few spit and spoke again.

“So, when are you going to pay it back?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“You don’t have to worry about that. Because it was a transaction with a separate condition attached to Chairman Han…”

“Still, you have to pay it back quickly.”

“·················ogue.”

The atmosphere was somehow strange.

I wonder if he was even thinking of paying that much money.

“Why, is your father going to pay you back?”

“I didn’t borrow it for personal purposes, and if it was used for business, I should give it to you. The problem is that the method of purchasing the technology cannot be officially disclosed, so the company cannot pay through the official route right now… First of all, I will pay my slush funds and private expenses, so please pay it back.”

”··········”.

When I heard that they were giving me money, my conscience was pricked.

If I didn’t get it, I’m sure I’d be suspicious of the cost of purchasing the technology again.

It seems to be the right choice to put aside the conscience once stabbed.

By the way, it’s a bit surprising that he has 100 billion won in cash.

There’s no way the defense companies with the accounting correct would have made that much money, and it’s clear that the money came from the construction sector.

So when he died, he couldn’t let go of building a lion.

Cool!

At that time, Chairman Jin spit out a dry cough again.

Even the hand that is looking for the toilet paper looks unusually bare these days.

It makes me uncomfortable to see him look so different from just a few days ago.

“Why don’t you do that and take a thorough examination?”

“Because there is nothing to worry about. I have a history of suffering from lung disease when I was young, but as I get older, the effects start to show.”

He finally waved his hand and handed me a large briefcase.

I wonder if he was thinking of giving me money from the beginning.

The envelope was packed with billions of bearer bonds.

“It is better to repay Chairman Han Myung-ho’s money as soon as possible.”

“Are you afraid of his money even though you are so close?”

“Not out of fear, but in order not to lose trust. That way, you can get help in case of a real emergency.”

“·················ogue.”

Those were the words I often used to tell my subordinates before returning.

Don’t lose your trust.

Then, even if you don’t know right now, it will surely come back later.

I was curious as to why he was starting to feel different, and maybe it was because of this.

Although not a drop of blood was mixed, it felt like seeing another me.
