The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Chapter 7.1

"How are you going to live from now on?"

Yoo Eun Ho's words made Yeon Seo look at him.

"How will I live? I'll just live as I did before."

At first, he was nervous, but now he knew how to treat Yoo Eun Ho. Just maintain a reasonable line of thought and talk moderately.

"But why are you asking? Because of grandfather?"

"Yeah."

“Well, we aren't just meeting for a meal. What do you think grandfather will say?”

Yoo Eun Ho did not respond and stared intensely at his younger brother. It was as if he was looking at a stranger.

"What?"

"You're being surprisingly cooperative."

‘Isn't it necessary to formulate a plan, or how did he intend to resolve the issue when speaking with grandfather?' 

Yeon Seo was momentarily taken aback, but at times like this, there is an invincible shield – his self-defence mechanism. 

"Having been so close to death, don't you think it's natural that I will have a different perspective?" 

"Really?"

The Death Shield. It was for that reason that the people around him did not suspect that Yeon Seo had changed while he was hospitalized.

In fact, who would suspect that it was transmigration? It sounds like something out of a science fiction novel. However, he was unconsciously thinking of the level of technology in 2207 and was terrified of being found out.

“And I just thought that continuing to argue with grandfather would backfire.”

“What about your health?”

"I’m fine, wasn't I was discharged? So, what do you think grandfather will say?”

Yoo Eun Ho looked out the window and said, “He will ask you to quit your current job and help with the company.”

"Oh."

“Why didn't you do it in moderation?”

Yoo Yeon Seo seemed to vaguely understand the meaning of those words.

The portfolio related to Yoo Yeon Seo's asset list received through Lim Seung Hyun was quite impressive that anyone who looked at it would be taken aback. Unbelievably, he had not suffered a single loss. His nickname "Money Ghost" fit him perfectly as he reeked of money.

‘It's enough to drive one crazy.'

Moreover, according to interviews that Yoo Yeon Seo had done in the past before he debuted as a member of ‘One Seven', he reportedly achieved a perfect score on the college entrance exam that he took just for online attention. He then enrolled in National Korean University, which is said to be the best in South Korea.

Even without that, being the third generation of a chaebol family and being a debuting idol already brought attention to "One Seven," and the group's name became even more well-known. Of course, the person in question was unable to handle the attention well.

Although he had a brief period as a trainee and had to work hard to build his recognition as a new artist, he scored full marks in the college entrance exam. Now, instead of doing a job that suits his smarts, he's working as an actor and receiving constant criticism and abuse, which is enough to make his family's heart ache.

“What do you think hyung? Should I work for the company?”

“I don't care what you do. Do what you want to do.”

Yoo Yeon Seo narrowed his eyes. ‘Really?'

‘Based on my research, I can see that the Jusung Group is a great company. So shouldn't you have some reservations? After all, conflicts over the succession of large corporations and conglomerates were not exclusive to TV dramas. No, sometimes reality is harsher.'

“I’ll go easy on you.”

"You?"

“If I do too well, wouldn't hyung's current successor position be in danger?”

“Why not give it a try?”

Yoo Eun Ho's mischievous smile overflowed with ease.

‘Just a friendly hyung, huh?'

After checking his assets management status, Yoo Yeon Seo thought that the original Yeon Seo had formulated a strategy.

In fact, he thought that being a bad-mouthed actor was a cover and that he had hidden his capabilities for the succession fight. But the fact that he doesn't seem to have a bad relationship with Yoo Eun Ho, well… he might just be a money-hungry punk.

"Son!"

As soon as they got out of the car, a middle-aged man standing at the entrance rushed over.

“Dad, what are you doing here?”

“I couldn't pick you up when you were discharged, so I came here to see you. Eun Ho, you've worked hard.”

While hospitalized, Yoo Gun Min and Yoo Eun Ho often visited Yeon Seo'. Now he had a better idea of how to treat them.

Yoo Gun Min was a typical fool for his sons. He doted on both of his sons equally. He seemed so affectionate with his tired face that it was pitiful to watch.

“Let’s go in. Grandfather is waiting for you.”

However, grandfather was different. It was the first time since that fight when he had just transmigrated. Yeon Seo hid his nervousness and followed his older brother into the house. The well-maintained landscape in the spacious yard caught his eye.

"Welcome."

The household staff greeted them as they entered the house. Inside the luxurious interior, Yoo Yeon Seo tried to maintain a composed expression.

“We are here.”

"It took you a while. Take a seat. Let's eat first."

The appearance of chairman Yoo Chang Ho, sitting in the most prominent seat, was dignified in itself. With a quick glance, Yeon Seo took his place beside Eun Ho and followed the family's lead in picking up his chopsticks.

‘The hospital food was good, but this is on another level.'

In 2207, he would never have dreamed of such a luxurious meal. Yoo Yeon Seo acted calm on the surface and used his hands skilfully. Perhaps because his body was so used to it, he effortlessly adopted the proper etiquette for using chopsticks with grace.

“How is the matter of the Jusung's acquisition going?”

"Father. Let's not talk about work at home…"

"Vice Chairman."

"We have finished negotiating with the local company and we will soon begin the business partnership."

As they talked about work, Yoo Gun Min's expression became sharp. Yoo Yeon Seo glanced at his father. He was not a weak-minded person…since he was able to succeed his two brothers as the Vice Chairman, he wouldn't be so carefree in his work. 

“Hmm, Eun Ho. How is work these days?”

"We are preparing to establish a semiconductor factory overseas."
