IRLPLBIO Chapter 51 Part 2

“I couldn’t answer the phone because I was in a meeting. What is the matter?”

Han Gyeong-jin’s tone had no barriers. His opponent, who had only ever been rejected by Han Moo-jin and Han Yun-cheol, noticed it keenly.

His opponent, Han Gyeong-jin’s second cousin and the father of the Alpha Club twins, did not let pride stand in the way of money.

“Brother, I have a good investment opportunity. If you could just help me a little, I’ll definitely pay you back with interest…”

It was what Han Gyeong-jin had been waiting for. However, instead of immediately taking the bait, Han Gyeong-jin feigned hesitation.

“That investment opportunity isn’t Woo-shin Pharmaceuticals, is it?”

“That, that’s…”

“Younger brother, it’s already advertised in daily newspapers distributed nationwide. Anyone who knows has already sucked it dry, and only scraps are left. Someone like you should know.”

“But even if it’s what’s left, this will definitely go up.”

“Definitely?”

“Of course. It’ll go up several times, no, twenty times. I can assure you, no, I can swear it.”

“Well, I’ll be.”

Han Gyeong-jin clicked his tongue lightly. To lure out an opponent who already blindly believed in the profit, he had no choice but to promise even greater gains.

“Younger brother, how many percent have you collected so far?”

“I couldn’t gather much, about 2 percent…”

Even though he feigned hesitation, a hint of pride showed in the man’s voice. He clearly held more than 2 percent.

That was even better. Han Gyeong-jin lowered his voice further, setting the mood, even though no one else was listening.

“Alright. Younger brother, I’ll support you, so let’s gather a little more. Enough to get a management premium.”

“Yes? Yes?”

The man, who had made a surprised, foolish sound, understood the situation the next moment.

Han Gyeong-jin seemed to have gotten the information late. Moreover, as soon as he realized that merely buying and selling stocks wouldn’t yield the desired profit, he began orchestrating a scheme to shake up the entire company.

However, the man gulped. Han Gyeong-jin, who already had ten, was trying to snatch away even the one that belonged to the man who had only one. But what did it matter if he looked shabby doing it? What mattered was that he was on the same boat.

Jae-gu knew almost nothing about the complex details of stocks and transactions. As the saying goes, ‘you only see as much as you know,’ and even with memories from his past life, he couldn’t suddenly grasp all the underhanded dealings that had gone on behind the scenes.

However, it wouldn’t be Jae-gu if he was disheartened by not knowing. The mere possibility of eliminating problems before they erupted was enough to justify his return.

Jae-gu clenched his fists and looked up.

Hanguk Daeyeong Byeongwon

Inside the vast, desolate-looking building was Kang Su-un. A cynical child Jae-gu hadn’t even known existed before, intelligent enough to understand adult conversations but distrustful of new drugs.

Jae-gu entered first. He never considered from the start that he might not be able to visit Kang Su-un, a VIP patient.

“Are you here for a visit?”

A nurse recognized Jae-gu and spoke first. Jae-gu, who had caused quite a stir earlier, was already a well-known figure.

In any case, Jae-gu awkwardly affirmed, thinking it would shorten the time to find Kang Su-un.

“I came to see Kang Su-un. His room is this way, right?”

“Ah, Kang Su-un is currently a bit…”

“If he went for a check-up, I’ll wait.”

“No, a visit will be difficult today.”

“What? Why?”

The nurse hesitated for a moment.

She knew Jae-gu and Kang Su-un had spent time together a few times, but she shouldn’t discuss a patient’s condition with someone who wasn’t a guardian. However, her hesitation about speaking to Jae-gu was because for the past few weeks, Kang Su-un had stopped the nurses multiple times a day, asking, ‘Has Jae-gu hyung come?’

Kang Su-un smiled brightly and often. Even though he repeatedly checked in and out, and his hospital stays were growing longer, and he must have been suffering from his deteriorating physical condition, he tried his best to appear cheerful. It was natural that a bond had formed between Kang Su-un and the nurses who had seen him for so long.

“Who is this student? Do you know our Kang Su-un?”

Fortunately, someone appeared who could resolve the nurse’s dilemma. It was Kang Hae-gyun.
