The Youngest Son of Sunyang (Reborn Rich)

[112] We're Family, After All 1

The awkward silence was broken by Jin Yeong-jun.

"Oh, by the way, what about Sang jun? I heard he's doing well with his music studies in the United States."

"He's passionate about his studies, so I'm sure he's doing fine. But what about you, Yeong-jun?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you have something to say to me? If you do, please say it. It's uncomfortable when you keep things to yourself for no reason."

Acting a bit tipsy from the alcohol, he asked boldly.

"Yeah? Haha. You really have a way of reading people." After a hesitant laugh, he lowered his voice and subtly continued. "Do you ever consider working with me?"

"With you, hyung?"

As expected, it was just as I had anticipated. He was trying to persuade me to become his subordinate.

"Yeah. After seeing what you do, it's hard to find someone as capable as you."

"What am I capable of?"

"What?"

Jin Yeong-jun's eyes flickered. He must have been taken aback since I hadn't shown my abilities yet, but he had praised me without basis.

When the company employees heard him say, "There's no one like you," they would be overjoyed and thrilled. Did he think the same about me, even though I hadn't experienced it yet?

"Well, does it have to be something specific? It's more about a feeling. The people working under me have good educational backgrounds and qualifications. But although I can't pinpoint it exactly, there's something missing."

"I feel the same way. It's hard to find someone you truly like. They may seem great on the surface, but when you peel back the layers, there's always something lacking." I modestly humbled myself.

"This kid. You don't want to work with me, huh?" He spoke with a mixture of laughter, but his eyes were serious. He stared at me fiercely.

"It's not that I don't want to work with you. It's just that I feel uncomfortable working with people. I prefer working alone. Studying alone, working alone."

"So, you're gaining experience at an investment firm for that reason?"

"Yes, that's how investment works, you know? Analyzing data, gathering information, and making decisions alone. It's not about coordinating with others. It seems to suit my aptitude."

"Hmm... investment."

I showed no interest in the group. How would he react? He's not naive enough to take my words at face value. He'll probably test me a few more times.

"Well, now that I think about it, I'm even more tempted."

"Huh? Why?"

"I have a weakness for that kind of thing. Planning, analysis. I find it easy to manage people, but I'm weak with numbers."

Was he serious? If he's bad with numbers and can't plan or analyze, what good is he for the job? Managing people is easy? As the heir to the chairman, anyone would listen and follow him. He's just talking nonsense!

I concealed my smirk and put on a smile.

"Hehe. Why is that? In our country, we gather all the smart people and run things."

"No, that's not it! There are plenty of problems under the surface."

Seeing Jin Yeong-jun's serious expression, I decided to throw the first bait. If he bites this one, I'll present the real deal.
