Chapter 102: LC Group (2)


    [yer ces CEO unveiled as Osung Groups sessor]


    Did they throw money around? Why are there so many articles?


    Muttered Song Baekhyun, clicking through thements on an article.


    Who else is using yer ce?


    Me! Selling items here is genuinely convenient! The apps user-friendliness is top-notch.


    I sold all the unnecessary materials on yer ce too.


    Me too. Thought useless things wouldnt sell, but someone bought them, lol.


    Was short on living expenses, but sold items on yer ce and made some money, lol.


    Lol, for real. Quit my part-time job and am surviving by selling misceneous items.


    Tend to buy good rare equipment as soon as ites up.


    Buying equipment is really convenient.


    A site for yers was needed, and yer ce fits the bill.


    Stock prices hit the ceiling every day, its aplete jackpot.


    More than in the heyday of Bitcoin. Need to earn money and put it in as soon as possible.


    This is right. Anyone who doesnt invest in yer ce is an idiot.


    Maybe Chairman Song of LC Group wont invest because of his pride?


    yer ce was made by Osung Group. Its a big hit.


    Osung does it again.


    Like they know what theyre talking about. Phew.


    Song Baekhyun simply turned off the monitor.


    Reading further might lead to dying of anger.


    Ding-dong


    Come in.


    Upon seeing the person entering the office, Song Baekhyuns eyebrows shot up like arrows.


    It was none other than his eldest son, Song Jaegyeom.


    Father. You called?


    Jaegyeom. How old are you this year?


    32 years old.


    Your actual age.


    30 years old sir.


    Hoo.


    (T/N: Under the Korean age system, babies are considered to be one year old on the day they are born, and every January 1, a year is added to peoples ages  regardless of their actual birthdate. )


    As a sigh escaped the chairmans mouth, Song Jaegyeom lowered his head like a sinner.


    You can only be a yer if youre 29, right?


    Yes, sir.


    Arent you feeling unjust? Just a one-year difference and you could be a yer.


    Well


    Why? Bing a yer would give you abilities, even if youre ipetent. How great is that, to gain supernatural abilities even if youre inept? Right?


    It might be great.


    But Song Jaegyeom couldnt smile.


    Because he knew his fathers words were mocking his ipetence.


    Look at our rival, Osung Group. Despite expanding globally, we alwaysg behind as second. Why is that? Our technology isnt significantly inferior, right? Right?


    People remember only the first ce. If its not the first, second, or third doesnt matter. And that first ce is often influenced by luck. The gap between second and first isnt that significant. Do you understand what this means?


    It means with effort, even second ce can be first. Just with effort! But even though we make tremendous efforts, we cant surpass them. The gap has widened so much that ordinary effort cant narrow it. In that case, we need to strike a heavy blow, right?


    Despite the somewhat irritated tone, Song Jaegyeom listened quietly with one ear, letting the words pass without much impact.


    By now, he was so ustomed to these kinds of lectures that it would be strange not to hear them.


    You know what article I read a little while ago?


    Probably something about Osung Group. Youve been reading those topics all week.


    Recently, Osung Group has been making waves with a groundbreaking app. Have you heard of yer ce?


    yer ce?


    With slightly widened eyes, Song Jaegyeom nodded, as if acknowledging his awareness.


    Heard of it?


    I have.


    Apparently, Osung Group created that app. And guess whos behind it? Their second son, Ma Kyeong-rok.


    Ma Kyeong-rok is the representative of yer ce?


    Song Jaegyeoms expression hardened as if he had tasted something bitter.


    How many years apart are you and Ma Kyeong-rok?


    Three years.


    Hes younger than you, right?


    But that young man still has the vision to run such apany. Especially seeing him explode with such a good idea. On the other hand, some, despite growing up in an environment where sess is practically guaranteed, cant even get a single line of news with their name on it.


    Despite the clearparison, Song Jaegyeom remained silent.


    He wasnt bothered by it anymore.


    If you were at least a yer, I wouldnt have pressured you like this. What should you do then? Shouldnt you try to expand your business like Ma Kyeong-rok? Not necessarily aiming for a big hit, maybe a moderate sess, or even something small. Right? As the eldest son of LC Group.


    I will show results.


    Really? Well, do you have any ongoing projects?


    I am preparing something quietly.


    What is it?


    Its not time to reveal yet. Please wait a little longer, Father.


    Didnt you say something like thisst time? Dont make excuses to avoid criticism.


    I really mean it, please watch and wait. I am preparing a significant thing.


    Hoo, well, understood. You should have something by now. Go on.


    Yes, please restfortably.


    Song Jaegyeom, bowing his waist, left the chairmans office.


    Thud


    Closing the door, he pondered deeply.


    How did thingse to this point?


    Its all because of that Ma Kyeong-rok guy.


    When someone is repeatedlypared to the point where it bes like abel in ones ears, its inevitable to harbor resentment.


    Who wouldnt want to be a yer, iming its themselves?


    What can you do about bad luck.


    Some might consider it fortunate to be excluded by just a one-year difference.


    After all, it was a life-or-death survival game.


    But for Song Jaegyeom, whose reality was hell, it was nothing but misfortune.


    I wish I had be a yer at least


    If that were the case, he could havepeted with Ma Kyeong-rok on an equal footing.


    Regretting now is pointless.


    Thud, thud


    With the sound of footsteps, Song Jaegyeom walked.


    Click, creak


    Entering his private office, he leaned against the back of the chair.


    Hoo.


    Taking off his sses for a moment, he massaged his temples.


    Stress had been overwhelmingtely.


    yer ce was Ma Kyeong-roks?


    It was the first time he heard this information.


    Suddenly, irritation surged within him.


    Without even knowing, he had rmended it to cafe members to use.


    Wasnt this indirectly helping the rival he wanted to kill?


    Frowning, he saw another article that caught his eye.


    [National Assembly member Lee Seong-hyun. Massive yer Act passes!]


    [Lee Seong-hyun says, yers are like societys cancer.]


    [With the increase in yer crimes, voices supporting Lee Seong-hyun are growing]


    [When thew is enacted, yers will be suppressed by force!]


    [yer catching yers? We decided to prioritize yers among the police.]


    [As early as next month, arge yer police organization will be formed.]


    As expected, that guy was a troublesome.


    Song Jaegyeom also harbors a disdain for yers.


    However, to expand influence andpete with Ma Kyung-rok, its unavoidable to side with the yers.


    That member of the National Assembly. We cant leave him alone.


    Seeing that the meeting time had arrived, Song Jaegyeom logged into the chat room.


    [The chairman has joined the chat room.]
