Chapter 63: Decentralization of power
Back in Itaewon-dong, Lee Jae-yong followed behind his father tremblingly, Lee Kun-hee was expressionless, and Hong Na-hee was already blue-lipped.
"You and I come in. After saying this, Lee Kun-hee stepped into the study.
Hong Luoxi sat on the sofa with his brows furrowed.
"Mom, what's wrong with him, big brother?" After a moment's hesitation, Li Yunxin whispered.
"The brute. Hong Luoxi's fingers sank deep into his arm, "He actually relied on his power to spoil other girls." ”
"Ahh Li Fuzhen exclaimed in surprise and subconsciously looked at Li Zaizhe.
"It's good now, the whole company knows what people will think of us, the first family in South Korea, the heir who taught is a strong traitor!" A feeling of dizziness hit, Hong Luoxi held on to the handrail, looking very angry.
"Mom, don't be angry with your body. Sitting down opposite her, Li Zaizhe said lightly: "People have immature times, from birth to the present, he has not experienced setbacks, everything is going well, of course he will lose himself a little, I believe that after this time, he will get better." ”
"I hope so. Hong Luoxi looked at him with a loving look in his eyes, "It would be great if he could make people feel at ease like you." ”
"Someday it will. ”
"It's a pity that the heir chosen by Ken-hee is him, not you...... Alas. ”
"It's fine. Lee Jae-chul smiled and said sincerely: "The current life is what I want." ”
………………
In the study, the air is as stagnant as ink.
Lee Kun-hee stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, without saying a word.
Unable to endure the torment, Lee Jae-yong said cautiously: "Father, I ......"
"Smack. His words were interrupted by a slap in the face.
"Rebel, I gave you power, did I let you do such a dirty thing?"
Falling to his knees with a thud, Lee Jae-yong said, "I'm sorry, father, I was just impulsive, please forgive me!" After speaking, he raised his head and burst into tears.
"Now that the directors know about this, you say, how can I continue to support you!" Li Jianxi hated iron and said: "In order to let you take over the company smoothly, I have been concentrating on the layout for several years, trying to make the directors agree with you, but now because of desire, it is ruined, in Rong, you let me down too much!"
"I'm sorry father, it's my fault, let you punish me. ”
After a few seconds of silence, Lee Kun-hee said helplessly: "You get up." ”
"Yes. Lee Jae-yong slowly got up and bowed his head silently.
"My body is not as good as before, and you are my only son, and Samsung must belong to you. ”
"But now that this has happened, everything that was before has gone down the drain and the plan has to be reformulated. ”
"If you want to re-establish your image, first of all, you must solve this incident, and divorce Lin Shiling by next year at the latest. ”
Lee Jae-yong raised his head and asked suspiciously: "Divorce?
"It's okay, there are only a few details left, and the marriage between you is no longer important. ”
"Understood, what about after the divorce?"
"Marrying that Busan woman is the only way to get you back into the company. Li Jianxi frowned and said, "After that, I will let the media expose that your relationship has broken down, and you are truly in love with her." ”
"During this time, I will remove you from the position of director, and then An An will stay at home separately, and wait for the limelight to pass, and then return to the company. ”
"Thank you, father. Lee Jae-yong nodded, for him, the marriage with Lin Shiling is just a plan of Samsung for the Elephant Group, even if there are two children, the love between husband and wife is pitiful, and compared with inheriting Samsung, divorce is not painful.
"Okay, now let's go and appease the family, apologize sincerely, and then reveal the intention to get married. ”
"Yes. After speaking, Lee Jae-yong turned around and walked out of the study.
When he came to the living room, he glanced at Lee Jae-chul fiercely, and then walked away quickly.
"In Young Master Zhe, the master asked you to go to the study. The butler said respectfully.
"Hmm. ”
Lee Kun-hee sat behind his desk, his brows furrowed.
"Jae-cheol, what do you think about this? He asked.
"It's easy and it's hard. Lee Jae-chul said lightly.
"Tell me about it. ”
"Simplicity is that I think with your means, you can quickly solve the impact of the incident, and the difficulty is how to change a person. ”
Hearing this, Lee Kun-hee fell silent, as he said, as far as this matter is concerned, although the wind will be very bad, it is really nothing, to put it bluntly, just playing with women, with his plan, Lee Jae-yong will soon be able to return to Samsung, what really worries him is whether such Lee Jae-yong can let Samsung develop.
A man in his thirties will still make this kind of mistake, even if it is common to eat sex, but as the successor of the top chaebol, such a performance is obviously too bad and too bad, if Lee Kun-hee has a son, he will not hesitate to give up Lee Jae-yong at this time.
"What advice do you have?" Lee Kun-hee never denied that this titular son was a genius, so he hoped to get a method from him.
"It made him feel a sense of crisis. Lee Jae-chul looked at him.
"Sense of crisis?"
"Think of danger in times of peace, everyone is like that. ”
"Go on. Lee Kun-hee nodded.
"My advice is to put pressure on other people.
"At the beginning, there was infighting in Samsung because there were three male heirs, but now it is different, leaving me, there are only two Nuna.
"Everyone knows that I can't inherit three stars, so I can spread the power into their hands and beat him up. A sense of crisis can completely stimulate a person's fighting spirit, thereby changing his temperament. ”
Hearing this, Li Jianxi fell into thought, and looked up at him after a while: "How is the company lately?"
"Not bad. ”
"If there is anything that can't be solved, you can consult with me. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Okay, let's go out and comfort your mother first, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it. ”
Lee Jae-chul walked out of the study, closed the heavy wooden door, and the corners of his mouth turned upward. He knew that Lee Kun-hee was already tempted.
Walking into the living room, Hong Luoxi was gone, and only Li Yunxin was sitting there alone.
"Nuna, where's Mom?"
"My mother is in the bedroom, already asleep. ”
"Today's incident is a bit of a big blow to my mother, these days, you take care of her more. ”
"Yes, I will. Li Yunxin nodded.
"Okay, I've got something to do, I'll see you another day. After saying that, Lee Jae-chul turned around.
"Wait. Taking a step forward and holding his hand, Li Yunxin lowered her head and said softly: "In your eyes, what am I?"
"Hmm. Turning to look at her, Lee Jae-chul touched his chin, "Although I screamed, I didn't really think of you as Nuna." ”
So is it? Li Yunxin's heart was bitter.
"It's my sister. The man smiled, "Someone like you who needs to be taken care of, it's only appropriate to be a sister, Nuna's words are a bit reluctant." ”
"It's really ......" looked at him with teary eyes, Li Yunxin's tone was choked, "Don't be a sister, Mingming, Mingming......"
"Yunxin. Suddenly, Lee Jae-chul leaned over and hugged her.
Controlling herself to stop crying, Li Yunxin's cheeks were slightly red, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Just call Nuna's name, do you want to rebel?"
"Don't be cranky, I promised you before that I wouldn't leave you. Lee Jae-chul said softly, "I have never gone back on what I promised." ”
Stretching out his arms around his back, Li Yunxin closed her eyes lightly, "Hmm." ”
Perhaps, I already know what I want. She said to herself.
"Hey, do you have time, I'd like to talk to you. ”
"Okay, where are you going?"
"Come down now, I'll wait for you outside. ”
"Hmm. ”
A few minutes later, Mr. Li knocked on the window of the back seat.
Lee Jae-chul opened the car door, "Come on, find a place to talk." ”
Then he said to Xu Dongzhi: "Find a more remote coffee shop." ”
"Okay. ”
………………
Coming to a coffee shop near the viaduct, the two walked into a private room.
"Today's event, did you arrange it?" Li Fuzhen crossed his legs, and the secret was faintly visible.
"If you do too many evil deeds, there will always be a reward. Lee Jae-chul said lightly.
"It makes sense, too. She nodded, "What are you looking for me to do?"
"Do you want to be in Samsung?"
Li Fuzhen's expression froze, and he smiled: "You have a fever? I am already a member of the Samsung." ”
"In name only, can you accept this outcome?"
Staring at Lee Jae-cheol, she played with taste: "What, listen to this tone, you have a way?"
"Give up your plans, don't think about using your talent to get Lee Kun-hee's attention, it's just a fool's dream. Lee Jae-chul crossed his hands and looked sharp, "The more you are like that, the farther away you will be from Samsung." Patriarchy is the tradition of the Li family, but I didn't expect that after so many years, you didn't understand it. ”
Without waiting for Li Fuzhen to speak, he continued: "Just now he talked to me, no accident, in the next period of time, you should be tempted with a project, you just need to believe in me, grasp the word 'mediocrity', and you can really become the real power of Samsung." ”
With Lee Kun-hee's character, even if he is moved by Lee Jae-cheol's methods, he will consider it more. The first is the issue of selection, Li Fuzhen has returned from studying abroad, and Li Yunxin's studies have not yet been completed, and at the same time, he will be worried that if the power is divided into three parts, the two daughters will jointly suppress their son, so the only possibility is to choose Li Fuzhen to put pressure on Lee Jae-yong.
But there is another question, Lee Jae-yong's business talent is too poor, once his daughter's talent is higher than his, will it lead to Lee Jae-yong's obstruction from the board of directors when he takes over Samsung. In this way, he will definitely take the opportunity to test Lee Fuzhen's talent, and as long as he is sure that she is talented, he will implement Lee Jae-cheol's plan.
"Why do I believe you, it stands to reason that you are the one who wants to be involved in management the most. Li Fuzhen asked rhetorically.
"First, I don't want to, and second, Lee Kun-hee would rather give power to you and Nuna than give it to me. Lee Jae-chul said calmly, "Because you are his children, and I am just an outsider." ”
Li Fuzhen raised his head suddenly and stared at him, "How do you know about this?"
"There are some things in the world that you can't hide if you want to. I'm helping you, just so that someone can check and balance Lee Jae-yong, and Samsung is in power by him, I'm afraid I'll have to immigrate to the United States. ”
"I'm happy to be in that small company now. ”
After pondering for a moment, Li Fuzhen nodded, "Trust you for the time being, as long as you succeed, I will restrain him and ensure your safety." ”
"You don't have to keep me safe, you just have to make him uncomfortable. ”
"Yes. ”
"But in the last few months, you've had to use your connections so that he can't move me. Lee Jae-chul knocked on the handrail, "With Lee Jae-yong's character of retribution, he will definitely retaliate." ”
"No problem, nice to work with. Li Fuzhen stretched out his hand.
"It was a pleasure to work with. With a gentle shake, Lee Jae-chul got up and said goodbye.
Prior to this, Li Fuzhen hid his ambitions very deeply and did not act out of the ordinary.
But the results of the Red Gang's investigation show that she has been expanding her network, making friends with many politicians, and secretly setting up clubs, most of which are heirs to large domestic families.
All kinds of behaviors show that Lee Fuzhen, the eldest lady of Samsung, is unwilling to give up the inheritance to Lee Jae-yong, and has made a lot of preparations for this.
So Lee Jae-chul chose to push her and let her hinder Lee Jae-yong, and all this was not for anything else, just to live an easier life.
He is a very lazy person, and instead of waiting for Li Zaeyong to take the throne and endlessly trouble himself, it is better to let him take care of himself once and for all.
The wealthy are terrible, they have huge connections and resources, but the wealthy are also very fragile, and perhaps just the ownership of a house can cause infighting.
