Ranked 3rd in South Korea’s business world, Bando Group.
Centered around Samseong-dong Bando Tower, Bando Construction and Bando Electronics, with three blocks in between, and even Eden Entertainment & Media, a smaller subsidiary but not to be ignored in terms of fame.
When people hear ‘Bando Group,’ they usually think of the well-known Bando Electronics, but Bando Construction, which has been rapidly rising since three years ago, is also a social issue.
At the center of the issue is the son of Bando Group and the representative of Bando Construction, Seo Jiwon.
Graduating from a prestigious university in the United States with a Ph.D. in business administration, he has been solidly managing the business, but besides his outstanding appearance, not much is known about him publicly.
It was due to being born not as a direct heir of the Bando Group.
No one was unaware of the innate wind of the son of the Bando Group chairman, who signed the business card.
Even if Chairman Seo’s illegitimate child were to appear somewhere, it wouldn’t be surprising, as the atmosphere is as vibrant as the core of Bando. The mother of Chairman Seo, Chairwoman Jang Homuk, also enthusiastically supported it with both hands and feet, making a clear sound.
In such a situation, in the year following the birth of Bando Group’s eldest son Gihyeok, the birth of the illegitimate child Jiwon had to be handled with extreme caution.
The child, who entered the Bando Group as a blood relative, grew up in a distant foreign land before the moisture dried from his blood.
Learning business operations at the overseas branch of the Bando Group and entering Korea at the age of thirty, it was the moment when the young child, born with vigor, was thoroughly reborn as a member of the Bando family.
“No need for further words, get married immediately.”
Contrary to the expectation that his future in Korea would be solid, there was one obstacle.
The mother of Chairman Seo, who signed the contract for the Bando Group and was also the real power of the Bando Group, Mrs. Jang Homuk.
Even at the age of almost eighty, she was so spirited that it could pierce the sky. Chairman Seo, in his seventies, seemed willing to die at her words if it weren’t for the issue of women. It was not an exaggeration to say that without stepping on Mrs. Jang’s territory, no one could enter Bando.
She was significantly involved in the group’s internal and external affairs, from distributing shares in subsidiaries to strategically placing her people.
“Marriage should be as easy as lifting a spoon on the dining table. Don’t you know that it’s not something that happens like that?”
Jiwon, the only one who didn’t bow his head to such Mrs. Jang, seemed to be a thorn in her side.
Tsk tsk.
At this point, the sound of Mrs. Jang’s tongue-clicking in Anseodong was so loud that it could be an affectionate nickname for Jiwon.
“So, you don’t eat the spoon on the dining table well either.”
It was a taunt that pointed out to Mrs. Jang, who was monitoring her grandchildren’s every move, that Jiwon was so busy with work that he often skipped meals.
“Tsk tsk, you act like an immature child.”
Jiwon and Jang Gihyeok, who were one year apart, were both ambitious.
Despite holding the most important electronics in the Bando Group, they were dissatisfied without achieving more.
For example, a hotel or entertainment.
Mrs. Jang’s position in Bando was considerable, not only getting involved in the group’s internal and external affairs but also placing her people in strategic positions.
There was a proclamation from Chairwoman Jang that in a business that recruited professional managers without a formal representative, the two individuals’ responsibilities would be distributed equally based on their abilities.
Gihyeok, in his pursuit of a good location, married Seohyun, the daughter of the wealthy E&C, and placed his wife Seohyun’s name as the hotel representative.
Despite the hotel being taken away right in front of him without plausible competition, Jang, who was still relaxed, continued to rebuke Jiwon.
With rumors flying around, Jang’s final trump card was to bring up the marriage card.
For a man who had not brought a woman home even when he reached his mid-thirties, there were numerous rumors.
They said he was gay.
Ignoring the love calls of all the women, there was a reason for not even batting an eye, as if the scandals with famous actresses and the like were efforts to conceal the truth.
Amidst various rumors, it was natural for Chairwoman Jang to pull out the ultimate card of marriage.
“Did I ask you to bring a housewife? Do you want a remarkable girl who stands out so much? As a man, you should have your say, not be silent. Is that the kind of nonsense that soils our household?”
When he was about to say that if he, as a man, should stand out so much just by being born, did his father get married twice, he barely held back.
“If you beg like this, it must be because you have a thick backside.”
It was about his mother, Eunhee.
She became the daughter-in-law of Bando Group and the wife of Gihyeok, and her mother, Eunhee, was raised to the status of a member of Bando at the age of thirty-four.
It had been 14 years since Jiwon was born.
“Do you know what happens when you raise your claws in front of a tiger?”
The clearly displayed claws were likely referring to his mother, Eunhee.
“Just cut them off. Cut them off tightly, make them completely useless.”
It was an anger that was hard to believe at the age of eighty.
“Three months. If you don’t get married within that period, not only will you give up the position of the construction representative, but your mother will come under my control in Anseodong. It must be unpleasant to see your mother, withering away.”
From the shaky construction business to placing it on an equal footing with various domestic and international construction companies, the past three years of Jiwon were a series of hardships.
In just three years, he managed to send his mother, who had become a member of Bando, to the outskirts of the city as the director of an art museum, using the excuse of his contributions.
The threat to pull out all of Eunhee’s claws was probably not an empty threat, considering the old man who was thinking of pulling her back to his side.
Jiwon glanced once at the woman in a bright pink dress lingering in front of the suite room window.
The woman that Wooseok had barely brought over seemed to be unfamiliar with the hotel or had some caution about me; she glanced around and took a seat as far away from me as possible in front of the window.
For the eighth and presumably the last marriage candidate, Jiwon opened his mouth heavily.
“What would you like to be called?”
The suspicion of why she was brought to this hotel room and what she wanted to say was clearly written on the woman’s face.
“Feel free to call me. If it’s not necessary for the conversation, there’s no need. You don’t have to call me.”
Lowering his relaxed shoulders and placing his arms on his knees, Jiwon fell into thought for a moment.
It reminded him of a time at a coffee shop when another man referred to a woman as ‘Miss Helper.’
“Sure, let’s do that. Miss Helper.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
