When describing her family to others in the past, Cui Min'er would generally say this—
"I grew up in Seoul. My dad works as a mid-level employee within the system, and my mom's family has been in business for generations, so she's also now a businesswoman with a touch of crass commercialism…"
This explanation was decent enough, and even when she was in Korea, she told this to classmates she wasn't very familiar with.
Of course, the real situation was…
Cui Min'er's father was originally just a workshop technician in a private factory, which belonged to her fiancé's family enterprise. It was only after she got together with her fiancé that her dad became the head of that workshop. It might sound like he was in charge of a dozen people, but in essence, he was only a mid-to-low level employee.
As for her mother's family being in business for generations…
