“You mean, Rachel’s person?”
“Yes, this child has been buying VAN Group shares on my instructions until now. And this FJ Investment Management Company is also under my real ownership. If it’s too complicated, just think of them all as L&M subsidiaries.”
There were quite a few companies listed on the document that Jae-Hyuk already knew were quite large. Even having ownership of one of them would make someone an incredibly wealthy person.
Jae-Hyuk looked at Eun-Ah with eyes filled with shock.
L&M was the largest investment management company in the United States. Although CEO Liam Lewis was in the forefront, people also focused on the name Rachel Lewis.
She always stood behind Liam Lewis. She never stepped forward in front of the public. Some called her the shadow, and others referred to her as the puppeteer.
However, there was something people commonly said. That is, Eun-Ah is an indispensable presence at L&M, and there were no deniers of this fact.
Eun-Ah’s excellent investment sense and ability to read timing had greatly contributed to the growth of L&M and were still ongoing.
Jae-Hyuk’s eyes scrutinized Eun-Ah as if observing her closely.
‘I heard rumors, but she’s even more remarkable.’
He was a man who had everything. Looking only within South Korea, finding someone better was no easy task.
The diamond spoon, born with everything, had never been overwhelmed by anyone, except Chairman Ban Ho-Jun. It was safe to say there were no others except for his father.
Yet, here he was, being overwhelmed by Eun-Ah, who was much smaller and more delicate than him.
“Ha.”
Jae-Hyuk sighed quietly.
He couldn’t shake off the feeling of being caught in a secretly laid trap.
‘Just how far did she plan this?’
Although he was the de facto leader of VAN Group, he was merely a child in front of Eun-Ah.
“I seem to have no choice but to accept.”
Even this time, Eun-Ah smiled instead of giving a direct answer.
“You mentioned a deal. So, what does Rachel want from me?”
Jae-Hyuk decided to step into the swamp with his own feet. Nevertheless, he was in a situation where there was no other option.
He never had a choice from the beginning.
He straightened up and met Eun-Ah’s gaze.
“There are three conditions.”
“Please tell me.”
“First, stop digging into Arin’s life behind me.”
Jae-Hyuk, flustered by the fact that Eun-Ah knew, couldn’t say anything in response.
She looked at his bewildered expression very leisurely. She continued speaking, maintaining her attitude.
“I understand what Vice Chairman Ban is thinking, but stop that now.”
“Is that the condition?”
“Yes.”
“Why…”
“Don’t try to find out.”
Eun-Ah spoke with a firm tone. Jae-Hyuk’s mind became more complicated.
At this rate, he couldn’t help but think about the real relationship between Eun-Ah and Arin.
‘Did she intentionally let me know?’
If there was no relationship, why would it matter whether someone dug into it or not?
In the midst of his confusion, Eun-Ah presented the second condition.
“The second is, I hope you can secure a position for me within VAN Group. Well… something like a senior advisor would be good.”
In no time, confusion and perplexity disappeared from Jae-Hyuk’s face, leaving only seriousness.
It was obvious why Eun-Ah specifically wanted the position of a senior advisor.
“You don’t seem to have any intention of hiding the fact that you’re giving me strength.”
For Jae-Hyuk, who lacked support within the company, the fact that she had a close relationship with L&M, the largest asset management company in the United States, could provide significant strength.
Eun-Ah nodded slightly, still maintaining her smile.
“I thought you would figure it out right away. Well, I plan to receive a salary. I’m not a fan of working for free either.”
‘Regardless of liking it or not, we had no connection in the past, so why all of a sudden…?’
Eun-Ah’s proposal was more advantageous to him than to herself.
Jae-Hyuk became puzzled.
“Finally, there is a third condition. Make Chairman Ban completely step down from management. If you keep the promise to ascend to the chairman position in the near future, I will transfer these stocks and support you. However, if you only superficially make Chairman Ban step down or fail to keep the promise, I will consider it as turning L&M into an enemy and take action. So, if you need my support, keep the promise with me.”
Eun-Ah held out a contract in front of Jae-Hyuk.
“Let’s make the deal clear. I want to believe that Vice Chairman Ban is a wise person.”
Jae-Hyuk seemed completely pressed down by Eun-Ah’s aura.
