The Youngest Son of Sunyang (Reborn Rich)

[002] A Servant's Life 2

The toy, Mr. Kim, entered the fitting room with a playful smile. Almost immediately, the Madam's voice filled with coyness could be heard from inside.

"Oh, stop it. It tickles."

The store employees began giggling, and the secretary's cheeks blushed with embarrassment. The phrase "out of place" was starting to feel just right.

The coquettish voice from the fitting room disappeared, replaced by even more peculiar moans.

"Hmm... Ah! Huh..."

The fitting room, constructed with thin veneer panels, began to shake and creak slightly.

This crazy old lady! No way!

However, it was evident that the bright Madam and the young plaything were definitely having an intimate encounter in that tight fitting room.

I finally understood why the Madam had unexpectedly visited another group's department store.

Normally, when a luxury brand launched a new collection, she would have it delivered to her home. The company would load all the clothes onto a car and display them in the vast living room of her enormous house. The Madam, dressed in a gown, would make her selections right there.

The reason she had personally visited the department store today was to experience an exhilarating moment. She must have had some lustful thoughts about indulging in a different kind of intimacy with her newly acquired plaything in a public place, and now she was making that fantasy a reality.

Damn it, I had to stand here and witness this sordid scene on my wife's birthday of all days!

The Sunyang Group, or the Sunyang Conglomerate.

With an annual revenue approaching 400 trillion won and operating profits exceeding 30 trillion won, the Sunyang Group dominates various industries, accounting for around 27% of the total market capitalization of its affiliated companies listed on the stock market, surpassing the national budget at a staggering 440.7 trillion won. Ranging from automobiles and electronics to telecommunications, heavy industry, chemicals, distribution, fashion, food, and virtually all sectors of the industry, the group's influence can be felt far and wide.

Even alleyway businesses like convenience stores, tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) stalls, and kimbap (rice roll) shops fall under their control. At this point, the South Korean economy and the Sunyang Group are often considered intertwined, sparking concerns about their shared destiny.

Despite its current status, the origins of the Sunyang Group can be traced back to two impoverished brothers who were skilled in gold and silver craftsmanship. Born in the early 1920s during the Japanese colonial era, Jin Suncheol and Jin Yangcheol learned their craft in Japanese-operated gold and silver shops, using their skills to support their family.

Jin Suncheol, the elder brother with exceptional craftsmanship, began to pilfer small amounts of gold dust when he became proficient in his work. Jin Yangcheol, the younger and more street-smart brother, developed routes to sell the stolen gold dust.

With the money they earned, they started looking for land to cultivate when liberation from Japanese colonial rule came. If they had purchased land before liberation, the Sunyang Group as we know it today might never have existed, and they might have lived their lives as ordinary farmers.

However, upon learning about the news of the forced property dispossession of Japanese assets, initiated right after liberation, Jin Yangcheol gave up his dream of becoming a self-sustaining farmer. The term (jeoksan) refers to post-liberation Korean government policies regarding the confiscation of assets left behind by Japanese nationals. While the American military government and the South Korean government limited the extent of dispossession, prime examples included the confiscation of Japanese-owned houses.
