I Became the Youngest Daughter of a Chaebol Family

There were two main reasons I decided to stash money in Japan.

The biggest reason was that just leaving the money there would make it grow automatically. And since it was money earned overseas, laundering it would be easier—meaning even my family wouldn’t be able to tell how much I’d made.

Considering that the reason I constantly kept my earnings discreet was to avoid drawing my family’s attention, that alone was a huge advantage.

And..., the second reason was that I’d been given an even bigger slice of cake—so much so that I didn’t need to push myself to earn more.

Semiconductors.

I could stake a claim in Daehwa Group’s semiconductor industry.

The Plaza Accord was signed at the end of September. And time, as always, flows forward.

Naturally, it wasn’t long after that when the season returned—when brittle leaves mixed into the soil and began to rot.

The season when everything freezes and people go hungry. The time we usually call winter.

But thanks to the progress of civilization and a long-awaited economic boom laying a thick layer of asphalt over the earth like tar, it was hard to find patches of frozen ground anywhere.

Leaves settled gently on the pavement, briefly blanketed by cold snow, only to be crushed beneath passing car wheels.
