Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

As Chung Ju-yung said, Cho Jung-sook definitely followed the wrong person.

At the age of 18, Cho Jung-sook was in her prime. With her extraordinary beauty and superb acting skills, she dominated the Korean film industry and was hailed as the new generation of the successor to the queen of the screen.

At the wrap-up party after the filming of "The Story of Sim Cheong in Joseon", she met Chung Ju-yung, who was in his forties.

At that time, Chung Ju-yung was running around for the Hyundai Group and working hard day and night to make the company grow and develop.

It was rare for him to participate in entertainment activities. Under the influence of alcohol, Chung Ju-yung vaguely saw a pure and beautiful girl walking towards him---

Early the next morning, when he woke up from his sleep, he found someone lying next to him, and that person was Cho Jung-sook.

In itself, Cho Jung-sook was not the kind of person who could sleep with anyone casually. Who made her drink too much that night and was also fascinated by Chung Ju-yung's strong aura? Who made the atmosphere, the time, and the fate---

From then on, it was out of control.

For Chung Ju-yung, all this was just a play. He was a married man with status and position in Korea. How could he fall in love with a small movie star?

For Cho Jung-sook, this was her first love. She entered the entertainment industry ignorantly, fell in love with a man with a family ignorantly, and now she was even more ignorant to be devoted to him.

It was not until Cho Jung Ju-yung got pregnant and Chung Ju-yung left her a sum of money to abort the child that Cho Jung-sook realized that she had always been wishful thinking and had paid the wrong price.

What Chung Ju-yung did not expect was that Cho Jung-sook was weak on the surface, but a strong woman on the inside.

Not only did she not listen to Chung Ju-yung's words to abort the child, but she also found a place where no one was and secretly gave birth to him, and named the child Cho Tae.

It is obvious that Cho Jung-sook did not want to take advantage of Chung Ju-yung, and even named the child Zheng.

Because of giving birth and raising children, Cho Jung-sook, who was less than 20 years old, announced her official retirement from the film industry. This news caused a huge sensation at the time. After all, Cho Jung-sook's popularity in the film and television industry was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Such a great career was abandoned, and everyone speculated what happened to her.

When Chung Ju-yung learned about Cho Jung-sook's retirement, he thought that this woman had come to her senses and was secretly proud of herself. He would not bother him again in the future, but he never expected that Cho Jung-sook would soon come to him with the child.

In fact, if it was not a last resort, with Cho Jung-sook's strong personality, she would never ask Chung Ju-yung for help. However, Cho Tae was born with congenital heart occlusion soon after birth, and surgery was required.

But this kind of surgery is not only expensive, but most importantly, the surgeon must be very good.

Looking at South Korea, there is no such expert doctor at all, not to mention that Cho Jung Ju-yung, who had retired from the film industry, could not afford such high medical expenses in order to raise a child.

In the end, for the sake of the child, Cho Jung-sook had to find Chung Ju-yung.

It is conceivable that when Chung Ju-yung learned that he had an illegitimate child, who was already two years old, his mood was very complicated.

As an entrepreneur and a strong man of his generation, he was a responsible person. Facing a hungry child, Chung Ju-yung finally chose to accept him. In any case, this little life in front of him was his own blood.

Since then, Cao Tai officially changed his name to Zheng Tai, but as an illegitimate child, it was not until last year that Chung Ju-yung officially included him in the family tree and registered him.

For this illegitimate child, Chung Ju-yung had a complicated mood. He hated him for not being able to make a good child, but he also felt that he owed him and his mother too much. Even if he registered Zheng Tai in the household registration, Zheng Tai was still ridiculed and mocked by his eldest and second brothers. He had never been happy in the Chung family.

Chung Ju-yung went up to the second floor alone.

The maid who was responsible for serving Cao Jingshu was sweeping the floor in the corridor. She had noticed a figure walking up the stairs. It was not until she saw Chung Ju-yung clearly that her expression became a little more serious. She let go of the mop first, then turned around and walked to knock on the door to notify Cao Jingshu.

When Chung Ju-yung came to the second floor, before he took a step, Cho Jeong-sook had already opened the door and came out from inside with a happy face: "Chairman, why are you here?"

"I have some free time today, so I came to relax nearby. I thought of you living here, so I wanted to come and see you." Chung Ju-yung smiled gently at Cho Jeong-sook.

Cho Jeong-sook was very happy when she heard this: "It's been almost three months since you last came. It's really rare! Come on, I'll make tea for you!"

Chung Ju-yung saw that Cho Jeong-sook seemed to be a little unsteady, so he took the initiative to step forward and hold Cho Jeong-sook's hand: "You looked a little depressed when we met last time. Why is it still so ugly after so long?"

Cho Jeong-sook smiled and said nothing, and went into the room with Chung Ju-yung.

As soon as Chung Ju-yung entered the room, he saw the handmade sweater and the ball of yarn placed on the sofa. It can be seen that Cho Jeong-sook must have been knitting a sweater just now. Looking at the style of the sweater, it is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people to wear.

You don't have to guess that it was knitted for him.

Chung Ju-yung felt warm inside and pointed at the sweater and said, "Why do you have to work so hard? I'm not without clothes to wear!"

Cho Jeong-sook didn't care about that and smiled and said, "You came at the right time, it's almost finished! Try it!"

Cho Jeong-sook walked over, picked up the sweater, turned around and walked to Chung Ju-yung, gesturing to his body, "It's a bit loose, I didn't expect you've lost a lot of weight after not seeing you for a long time! It must be hard to work, isn't it?"

Jung Ju-yung trembled in his heart, looking at the woman who had accompanied him through his prime years, beautiful as a flower, now in her forties, with gray hair and wrinkles on her pretty face---

Jung Ju-yung reached out and touched Cho Jeong-sook's cheek.

Cao Jingshu was measuring his sweater when she suddenly stopped and looked up at Zheng Zhouyong, who was looking at her affectionately: "What's wrong with you?"

"Maybe it's because..." Zheng Zhouyong hesitated and said, "I am old and a little sentimental."

Cao Jingshu smiled, took Zheng Zhouyong's hand that was touching his cheek, and put it on her face: "You're not old, you're still the same. It's me who's old, no longer young and beautiful, and you've never lacked beautiful ladies around you - —”

Zheng Zhouyong smiled and stroked Cao Jingshu's hair with his other hand: "Even if there is, I am powerless! I am almost seventy years old, what kind of invincible superman do you think I am?"

Cao Jingshu chuckled and looked at Zheng Zhouyong infatuatedly: "In my eyes, you are Superman! South Korea's Superman! No one is as good as you!" Her eyes were full of admiration like a little girl.

Zheng Zhouyong's emotional value has been infinitely increased. Whether outside or at home, he is not as happy as this moment.

This moment of warmth is rare.

Zheng Zhouyong was fed up with the intrigues in the business world and the profit calculations at home. At this moment, he just wanted Cao Jingshu to stay together and enjoy a moment of peace.

It's a pity that God doesn't grant him this extravagant hope.

Jingle bell bell!

The phone rings.

It also woke the two of them up from their warmth.

Cao Jingshu sat up from the sofa apologetically, got up and walked over to answer the phone.

Zheng Zhouyong picked up the tea cup and tasted the tea specially prepared for him by Cao Jingshu.

Sudden!

Snap!

Cao Jingshu dropped the phone in shock.

Zheng Zhouyong suddenly turned his head to look at her, looked at the shocked Cao Jingshu, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cao Jingshu stammered: "Artai, something happened to Artai!"

Zheng Zhouyong frowned, it was not the first time he heard this sentence.

"What trouble did he cause outside?"

"No, no! He was caught by someone. That person said he wanted to see you. If he doesn't see you within an hour, he will kill Artest!" Cao Jingshu's lips were trembling and her face turned pale with fear.

"Hmph!" Zheng Zhouyong stood up, "Kill Artest? Who in Korea dares to be so bold?"

It’s not that Zheng Zhouyong is arrogant;

This is true.

As the head of the Hyundai Group, Chung Ju-yong is a special being in South Korea. Although Samsung Group is the largest, Samsung has a very poor relationship with the Blue House. Unlike Chung Ju-yong, who has a very harmonious relationship with the Blue House and helps each other. It is conceivable that who dares Being presumptuous with him? Unless you want to be an enemy of the entire Cheong Wa Dae and an enemy of South Korea!

"That man said his name...is Du Yongxiao!"

"Du Yongxiao?"

Zheng Zhouyong was stunned, feeling that this name was so familiar.

soon!

He remembered who Du Yongxiao was?

"It's that Hong Kong guy!"

"Hong Kong people?"

"Yes!" Zheng Zhouyong narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of gloom, "The biggest excitement in the Korean business community recently is that Samsung Electronics, a subsidiary of Samsung Group, was almost snatched away, and Daehan Bank was acquired by a Chinese, and that Chinese, It’s Du Yongxiao!”

"Is he really that powerful?"

Although Cao Jingshu is not a businessman, she knows how powerful Samsung and Daehan Bank are. The fact that Du Yongxiao can do this shows how strong he is.

Zheng Zhouyong nodded: "Yes, not only is it awesome, it is simply unfathomable! It seems that I really want to go there myself this time!"

The originally dim old eyes were radiant with light.

…

Seoul Grand Hotel.

Inside the presidential suite——

When Zheng Zhouyong came here alone and saw Du Yongxiao, he couldn't help but be surprised.

It's because Du Yongxiao is too young.

Zheng Juyong has been a dominant figure in the Korean business world for so many years, and his competitors are generally "old people" like Samsung's Lee Byung-chul and Lotte Sing-ho.

The youngest of them is almost sixty years old. There is no one as young as Du Yongxiao. He can't be more than thirty years old no matter what.

In fact, Zheng Zhouyong still regards Du Yongxiao as "old". Du Yongxiao is only 28 years old this year.

It's just that Du Yongxiao's temperament and demeanor are very mature no matter how you look at them.

"Hello, Du Yongxiao!"

Du Yongxiao smiled and stretched out his hand when the other party looked at him.

Zheng Zhouyong did not hold it and asked: "Where is my child?"

"Are you talking about Mr. Zheng?" Du Yongxiao smiled lightly, "I sent someone to take him back."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is - President Zheng, why don't we sit down and talk!" Du Yongxiao pointed to the sofa.

Zheng Zhouyong snorted coldly, walked towards the sofa, turned around and sat down.

Du Yongxiao asked Jin Xuaner to serve tea.

Tea will be ready soon.

Du Yongxiao then said: "Now, let's get down to business!"

Zheng Zhouyong said nothing and just stared at Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao said: "The specific thing is like this..."

Let’s tell the story of Zheng Tai’s bullying of Kim Sun Ah in great detail.

Zheng Zhouyong's expression didn't change much when he heard this, because he knew the nature of his precious son and he could definitely do such a thing.

It wasn't until Du Yongxiao finished speaking that Zheng Zhouyong said, "Just because he tried to bully your woman, you want to kill him?"

Du Yongxiao smiled, took a sip of tea, and looked at Zheng Zhouyong: "Yes, how is it?"

"you--"

No matter how calm and sophisticated Zheng Zhouyong was, he was still annoyed by Du Yongxiao's unscrupulous look.

"Mr. Du, don't forget, this is South Korea!"

"Yes, this is indeed South Korea, so it is a place with royal laws!" Du Yongxiao said with a smile, "If there are royal laws, there must be rules. If a prince breaks the law, he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people, right? What's more -"

Du Yongxiao looked at Zheng Zhouyong: "Besides, Zheng Tai is just your illegitimate son, President Zheng. If you dare to touch my woman, you will die without mercy!"

Zheng Zhouyong couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up and said angrily: "Du, don't think I'm really afraid of you!"

"Wrong, I have never doubted your ability, President Zheng! On the contrary, I have always overestimated you!" Du Yongxiao said coldly, "So what are you going to do now? I sent Zheng Tai back, but I can come back anytime You can redirect him to the US military base in South Korea!”

"What do you mean?" Zheng Zhouyong's expression changed and he stared at Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao met his eyes: "You should know my relationship with Americans! Yes, as long as I make a phone call, what if you, Zheng Zhouyong, have someone at the Blue House? Whether you can keep your son depends on the mood of the Americans! To be precise, ———”

Du Yongxiao slowly took a sip of tea and said, "Look at my mood!"

proud!

So proud!

No one has ever dared to be as presumptuous as Du Yongxiao in front of Zheng Zhouyong!

The atmosphere was extremely tense!

Full of stimulation.

Zheng Zhouyong's expression changed several times-——

Although Zheng Tai is his illegitimate son, he is also Cao Jingshu's son!

He owed them both!

Zheng Zhouyong stabilized his mind, sat down on the sofa again, looked at Du Yongxiao and said: "Let's talk about the conditions. What should we do before you are willing to let Artest go?"

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, pointed at the tea cup and said: "Let's discuss the terms slowly, please have tea!"

Zheng Zhouyong frowned and Lao Gao reluctantly picked up the tea and took a sip, then put it down and looked at Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao said: "Well, the conditions are very simple. You probably also know that our Du Group has an automobile production line. I am now planning to copy it to South Korea! Of course, I know that South Korea has domestic automobile protection measures, so I hope that you will Can you say a few words at the Blue House about fair competition? "

"you--"

Zheng Zhouyong immediately guessed what Du Yongxiao was going to do.

"Do you think I will agree to it?"

"Maybe, maybe not!" Du Yongxiao shrugged, "I'm just betting on your humanity!"

Zheng Zhouyong didn't say anything, and after a long time he said: "I will not ruin the business plan for the sake of an illegitimate child!"

Du Yongxiao nodded: "This is what a strong corporate person should say, so-"

Du Yongxiao stood up and said: "We are done talking now, I will send your son to the US Army!"

"Du Yongxiao, do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare?" Du Yongxiao smiled lightly: "It must be fun to take your son to target practice!"

Zheng Zhouyong's expression suddenly changed.

Du Yongxiao ordered outside: "Go and help President Zheng prepare a coffin so that he can collect the body!"

"Yes!" Yan Xiong said loudly outside.

Du Yongxiao looked at Zheng Zhouyong again: "Then now, go away without sending him away!"

Zheng Zhouyong froze. He stared at Du Yongxiao, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing Du Yongxiao opening the door for him, Zheng Zhouyong walked over.

Just when he was about to walk out of the room, he turned around suddenly, stared at Du Yongxiao and said, "Do I still have a choice?"

"without!"

"Okay, I promise you!"

Human nature triumphs over reason.

Tiger poison does not eat seeds!
