Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 654: The Dilemma of the Wealthy Family
Kim Gun-young's second wife was Liu Caiyan. She was 21 years old when she married Kim Gun-young, who was in his 40s, and gave birth to a daughter, Kim Hee-ya.

It was also the mistress of the world who tipped off Li You.

The saying that a mother's status is determined by her sons will always exist among the chaebols on the Korean Peninsula, especially for second wives, who will value their future even more.

Kim Gun-young is now old and has basically lost her fertility. Liu Caiyan, who did not give birth to a son for Kim Gun-young, puts all her attention on her only daughter, Kim Hee-ya.

But after such a long period of training, Jin Xiya was still a non-competitive person, which made her very disappointed.

Jin Xiya is not fighting now, what should they do in the future?
Jin Yongjun and Jin Shengjun have always respected their stepmother, who is more than ten years older than them, only on the surface, but they actually have no respect for her in private.

Especially since Jin Xiya has grown up in recent years, the two men who used to care for their sister when they were young now regard Jin Xiya as a thorn in their eyes and are extremely wary of anything that Jin Xiya has to do with the group.

Liu Caiyan, who married Jin Jianying in her twenties, knew that she had to find another way out.

Jin Xiya, who values ​​family affection, does not fight or compete, but as a mother, she has to force her to do it.

So when she learned from Jin Xiya that Jin Jianying was going to use the bill to attack Kinmen's defense, she immediately had other ideas.

Anyway, as long as Jin Jianying passes away, no matter whether Jin Yongjun or Jin Shengjun inherits Tianxia Group, there will be little room for them mother and daughter.

She believed that Kim Gun-young doted on Kim Hee-ya and would leave her an inheritance in his will, but there were too many cases of usurpation of inheritance on the Korean Peninsula.

Then why not just break up Tianxia Group and get more things from it.

Since Li You accepted the invitation today, it means that this opportunity exists.

Liu Caiyan was still a little nervous when she came to the private room and faced Li You. She didn't dare to treat Li You as Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun.

Li You noticed her nervousness but did not expose her.

"I'm quite surprised that Madam wants to see me this time," Li You said casually, "After all, you are the mistress of Tianxia Group. I'm afraid my relationship with Chairman Jin has not been good recently."

Li You didn't have any special expression. Just helping her pour tea made Liu Caiyan feel very stressed.

When a person has status, he will be dignified in the eyes of others even when he is drinking cold water.

Liu Caiyan forced a somewhat stiff smile, "He is him, and I am me."

Li You nodded without comment. This was indeed the true situation of a wealthy family. Even the person next to you was scheming against each other.

Chen Yangzhe, the former chairman of Shunyang Group, was even assassinated by someone hired by his own wife.

There is also a discord between Li You's father-in-law Mou Zhengxiong and his mother-in-law Shen Xiuyun, who comes from a small wealthy family.

Not to mention the recent controversy over the matter between Zhu Mengyuan and his ex-wife Lin Shiying.

Thinking in this way, the relationship between Li You and Mou Xianmin becomes much simpler.

Li You opened the window of the private room, letting in a cool breeze and the noisy sounds of the traffic outside.

Liu Caiyan pulled her clothes closer, but her mood became much calmer in the night breeze and she was no longer so nervous.

"Thank you, President Li."

"It's okay," Li You sat down again and waved his hand casually, "It's not appropriate for us to continue the conversation if you are too nervous."

"After all, things are still very important, so it's best to have a clear head."

Liu Caiyan nodded. If she was really asked to say something just now, her mind was really empty and she couldn't think clearly about anything.

It was not easy to meet Li You, and it was even more difficult to make demands on the largest chaebol on the Korean Peninsula. Fortunately, Li You gave her a chance to relax. It seems that Li You is fair.
Not sure if she was flattered or surprised by her own thoughts, Liu Caiyan shuddered and put away the idea of ​​"fairness".

The chaebol will be fair. She thought her idea was really ridiculous.

Seeing her recover, Li You smiled while holding an unlit cigarette: "Madam took the initiative to ask to talk to me. It's not good to hide and not talk now."

"..."

Liu Caiyan clenched her fist into her sleeve, encouraged herself and whispered, "Then I'll be frank, President Li."

"Please go ahead," Li You shrugged slightly, "I also want to hear why Madam revealed so many internal matters of Tianxia Group to me."

Liu Caiyan was choked by these words. She was silent for a while, then said frankly: "Of course it's to help my daughter fight for the family business."

"No wonder Madam is so anxious, it turns out it's because of this," Li You smiled, "But this is understandable"

"After all, parents are the most compassionate people in the world. Madam did the right thing."

Liu Caiyan remained silent.

"In fact, Xiya is capable..." Liu Caiyan said, "It's just that she is too gentle and values ​​family ties too much, so she has never been competitive."

Li You listened calmly.

"But in fact, whether it is Jin Yongjun or Jin Shengjun, I am afraid that they have long stopped treating her as a sister," Liu Caiyan gritted her teeth, "I don't know if he did it on purpose, but he has always been too doting on Xiya, but he is unwilling to give her important things, and he also allows Jin Yongjun and Jin Shengjun to suppress her secretly."

"He" Liu Caiyan hesitated for two seconds.

Li You thought that this 'he' should refer to Jin Jianying.

"The three men in the Jin family are the ones who really wear the same pants." Liu Caiyan was originally a gentle woman, but now her face is full of resentment. "I didn't fight or compete at first, but he got sick. Who can protect us from those two guys when he dies?"

"Given Xiya's personality, it's good enough that she's not forced into exile."

Li You ignored her flattery of himself and added calmly, "So Madam, you don't have to hold back too much in your heart today. It's better to tell me all the causes and consequences. This can be regarded as the first step of cooperation. How do you think?"

"..."

Liu Caiyan was stunned. She didn't expect Li You to say that.

According to the normal process, Li You should not find out the family discord revealed in her words and then express his support for her.
But since Li You said so, Liu Caiyan had no choice but to continue talking.

She talked about all sorts of random things for a long time, but found that Li You was still listening calmly.

"President Li," she said tentatively, "Should we talk about business?"

"Okay," Li You did not stop him, "Then we need to talk."

"What is Madam's goal?"

He leaned against the sofa behind him, "How can I shoot arrows without a target?"

"If it is just to keep the property that would have been given to Jin Xiya, I believe there is no need for Madam to cooperate with me."

Li You said lightly: "Since Madam came to me for cooperation, she must not be content with just a little, and she must want more."

"." Liu Caiyan didn't know how to express it, but still said: "Yes."

Li You spoke again: "I asked Madam to tell me so many things about the Tianxia family so that I could get to know your family more deeply." "Now it seems that each of the five members of the family has their own thoughts."

Liu Caiyan was silent.

"It's normal for Madam to have concerns about working with an outsider like me," Li You said with a laugh, "but I won't do anything immoral."

In the end, the two failed to reach a consensus, mainly because Liu Caiyan was hesitant and did not dare to make a decision when the time came.

After all, he was the husband she had been married to for more than 20 years.

Let her let go completely
She really can't do it.

Li You didn't try to force her to stay, as that was meaningless.

Anyway, there are not many ways for Liu Caiyan and Jin Xiya, mother and daughter, to go.

In the original work, Kim Gun-young did leave the Cheoncheon Group to Kim Hee-ah, but that was seven years later when Cho Tae-seop dominated politics and was in cahoots with his eldest son Kim Young-jun.

It is now a question whether Jin Jianying can live for another seven years, let alone leave Tianxia Group to Jin Xiya, who is still a sophomore.

He can only choose between Kim Young-jun and Kim Sung-jun now.

Neither of these two people would allow the mother and daughter to stay in the Tianxia Group.

All you have to do is plant a seed and wait for it to sprout.

After all, many things are simple in nature, and it is often the human heart that makes things complicated.

Although the cooperation between Li You and Liu Caiyan on "Overturn the World Group" was not achieved, Cui Changdi did what Li You asked Cui Changdi to help with very quickly.

The next day, President Choi Chang-eok expressed his agreement to the Grand National Party and the National Assembly to the bill restricting foreign investment in military-industrial enterprises.

This incident surprised many members of the Grand National Party and the opposition party, and they even thought that Lee Woo and Emperor Choi Chang had broken up.

After the voting in Congress ended and the bill came into effect smoothly, some members of the ruling and opposition parties in Congress felt that they had figured it out.

What they are protecting and targeting is just a cover for Kinmen’s defense. Li You must have other goals.

However, this idea changed again after Choi Changdi took the initiative to communicate with Kim Geon-young and sent friendly signals.

Could it be that Li You and the commander-in-chief Cui Changdi really had a falling out? But why was there no news at all?

Just as the news circulating in the political circles kept twisting and turning, Kim Young-jun, who had been taken to the Southern Seoul District Prosecutor's Office at the instruction of Lee Woo, was also released.

When Jin Jianying's eldest son came out, he was already dishevelled. Although he had no worries about food, drink, defecation and urination, his washing and sleeping conditions were very poor, which ruined his image as a nobleman in front of the media.

Kim Young-jun, who always paid attention to his image in front of the camera, was furious, and the forced smile on his face disappeared immediately after he got in the car.

"Where is Sheng Jun?"

It was his own secretary who picked him up. Jin Jianying's secretary did not come, let alone Jin Jianying herself.

Jin Yongjun's secretary replied, "Sungjun should be working at Tianxia Energy at this time."

"Go to him," Jin Yongjun said gloomily.

The secretary was a little nervous: "Deputy, are you going to the hotel or go home?"

Jin Yongjun looked up and checked his greasy hair and face in the middle rearview mirror. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "Go to the hotel and buy me two sets of clothes."

After taking a hot shower in the hotel, cleaning his face and changing his clothes, Jin Yongjun basically returned to his usual self. While spraying hairspray on his head, he asked his secretary, "Have you contacted Shengjun?"

"I've contacted you, Representative," the secretary bent down and stood in front of him, "Representative Sheng Jun said that you are welcome to come over anytime."

"He's quite sensible," Jin Yongjun snorted as he threw away the hairspray and washed his hands.

"Let's go find my good brother."

When he arrived at the representative office of Tianxia Energy, he happened to run into Jin Shengjun who had just come out of the bathroom. Seeing Jin Yongjun coming in without knocking, Jin Shengjun greeted him enthusiastically: "Brother, you are here, what a coincidence."

Jin Yongjun didn't put on airs, and sank into the sofa in the office, thinking that he had finally gotten rid of the hard chair in the prosecutor's office. "Please don't exchange pleasantries. We are not the kind of people who respect each other."

"So what's the matter with you coming to see me this time, big brother?" After Jin Shengjun sat down, he enthusiastically poured the wine he had just taken out for Jin Yongjun: "Big brother, just tell me directly."

"I'm afraid that if I tell you the truth, you'll get scared," Jin Yongjun reached out to take the wine glass and looked up at him.

Jin Shengjun guessed quickly, and smiled at Jin Yongjun, "Brother, just tell me."

"Don't you think it's a little strange?" Jin Yongjun said coldly, "About this whole thing."

"Ever since Jin Xiya proposed that plan," Jin Yongjun narrowed his eyes, "things have been moving in a direction that is not favorable to us."

"Brother, are you saying Xiya is doing something bad?" Jin Shengjun was a little helpless. "Brother, although you and I have a consensus on resisting her from entering the group, you also know her character. She can't do such a thing. Even if she is pretending, she can't have been pretending since she was a child."

"She wouldn't do such a thing, but would our stepmother?" Jin Yongjun took a big sip of ice wine. "How do you know she wasn't the one doing it?"

"."

Looking at Kim Sung-jun's expression, Kim Young-jun knew that he didn't think Liu Caiyan had this ability.

Although Jin Yongjun was just guessing, he actually guessed some truth.

It was really Liu Caiyan who got the news from Jin Xiya and revealed it to Li You, which gave Li You the opportunity to prepare in advance.

"No matter what," Jin Yongjun pushed away his wine glass and said seriously, "We can't let these mother and daughter mess things up anymore."

Kim Sung-jun, who had just explained for Kim Hee-ah, had not even opened his mouth when he had already reached a consensus with Kim Young-jun.

There is actually no need for so many excuses to deal with Liu Caiyan and Jin Xiya.

"Then what should we do?" Jin Shengjun asked Jin Yongjun calmly.

Jin Yongjun sneered, "Kick her out of the country and let her hang around Dad all the time. Who knows, one day she will be assigned to the group's business planning department."

"That's the Business Planning Office, don't you understand?"

Jin Shengjun was silent.

Unlike the position of the representative of Sunyang Trading, who is the symbolic successor of Sunyang Group, the symbolic successor of Tianxia Group is this Business Planning Office.

"How to do?"

"She's a good kid, but her mother is not a good person," Jin Yongjun grinned.
