Episode 31. Moderately

“I will add a new candidate.”

“…It is possible. Please tell me, Mr. Joseph Diaz.”

“I recommend Chief Secretary Lee Jeong-woo, who is sitting next to me, as a candidate. Chief Secretary Lee Jeong-woo has observed and learned the management status of Wonho Enterprise from the former chairman’s side, and has directly participated in management with the former chairman, so I think he is suitable to take on the role of acting chairman. I would like to have him be the CEO of the company, but with the rank of vice chairman.”

“Vice, Vice Chairman….”

He quickly agreed after receiving Doyle’s sharp gaze.

“Yes…. That is a very valid point. I will add you as a candidate.”

Lee Jeong-woo also raised his hand and added a candidate.

“I recommend Mr. Joseph Diaz. Although he is an American, Mr. Joseph highly values ​​our company and has acquired 65% of the company’s shares, making him the largest shareholder. I cannot help but admire his outstanding vision. I think Mr. Joseph should participate in the management of the company. He would be a good fit for the position of Chairman.”

“!”

All I did was use what I had agreed to with Chief Secretary Lee Jeong-woo yesterday.

“Yes… I will add you as a candidate. Are there any more? If not, I will confirm the candidates as is.”

“…….”

Chairman Jeong’s representative was initially delighted at the idea of ​​nominating Chief Secretary Lee Jeong-woo as a candidate, but when Chief Secretary Lee Jeong-woo nominated Do-il as chairman, he seemed to have realized the flow of events. He could not have been unaware that nominating an American to a management position was possible without prior consultation.

“Vote for the candidate….”

“Let’s decide by a show of hands, starting with the last candidate added.”

“I will do so. Those who recommend Lee Jeong-woo as the company’s CEO, please raise your hand.”

Doyle and Lee Jeong-woo themselves raised their hands.

“Huh…. With more than 65% in favor, more than half of the shareholders present in favor, Lee Jeong-woo was elected as the company’s CEO. Lee Jeong-woo agreed to this….”

“I am happy to accept the position of CEO of Wonho Enterprise.”

“With the approval of more than 65% and Mr. Lee Jeong-woo’s consent, I hereby announce that Mr. Lee Jeong-woo has become the CEO of the company.”

Knock knock knock.

“Many executives were dismissed today, so we would like to select additional executives from among the candidates. As an amendment to agenda item 3, Executive Director Kim….”

“Let’s raise our hands starting with the executive candidates listed last.”

“Yes. Those who wish to elect Mr. Joseph Diez as an officer, please raise your hand.”

Naturally, Doyle and Lee Jeong-woo both raised their hands.

“Mr. Joseph Diaz has been elected as an executive officer of Wonho Enterprise with a majority of the votes, more than 65%. Does Mr. Joseph Diaz consent to this?”

“I agree.”

“I hereby declare that Mr. Joseph Diaz has been appointed as an officer.”

Knock knock knock.

“…With this, we will conclude today’s deliberation on the agenda and close the meeting. The company will move forward toward a greater future. Thank you.”

“shit….”

Chairman Jeong’s lawyer was muttering to himself. Doyle pointed to the door with his finger and spoke to him.

“Now that the general meeting is over, can outsiders please leave? The door is over there.”

“…Okay, Mr. Joseph. I’ll see you later, Secretary.”

However, Lee Jeong-woo was already on Doyle’s side.

“Wouldn’t it be better for you to go and defend Chairman Jeong?”

This was not a comment on the ongoing prosecution case, but rather a statement made with the return lawsuit in mind that may arise in the future.

“What, what?”

The lawyer, who had hoped to resolve the issue through conversation with Lee Jeong-woo, could see that Lee Jeong-woo had completely changed. He was no longer the chief secretary who had always treated him politely.

“And didn’t you hear me earlier? I am now the head of the company. How long are you going to call me secretary? Attorney Kim Dong-chul.”

“Damn. I’m totally screwed….”

Doyle also gave strength to Lee Jeong-woo’s words.

“Stop mumbling and just write your resignation letter and get out. We don’t need you in the legal department of Wonho Enterprise.”

“I was going to pay you anyway! Wonho is going to be finished now! Do those beggars even know how to run a business?!”

Kim Dong-chul, Chairman Jeong’s attorney and a member of the company’s legal team, left, leaving CEO Lee Jeong-woo, Do-il, and the strategy team manager behind.

“I’ll take my leave now… Please speak.”

“You stay too.”

Doyle stopped the strategy team leader from leaving and made him sit down.

“You worked hard today. And you have to work even harder in the future.”

“Oh, of course, Mr. Chairman. Haha.”

The head of the strategy team was already naturally called Chairman.

‘How long does it take to live in society before you can rub your hands so naturally like a fly?’

“CEO Lee Jeong-woo will be busy starting tomorrow.”

“There is a lot of work to do. The directors outside are really amazed at their behavior today. I will sort it out quickly.”

“I thought so too. You worked hard.”

Ring ring ring ring. Ring ring ring.

He looked around to see who was calling, and it was Doyle’s own phone.

“hello.”

[Hello.]

‘Huh? Is that Edward’s voice?’

“President?”

[Doctor. I feel grateful that you understand me right away just by saying hello.]

“Hahaha. President Edward himself calls me.”

The bodies of the strategy team leader and Lee Jeong-woo, who were listening to the phone call, stiffened.

‘Just now… . You said you were the President… . And Edward is the President of the United States?’

“You’re in Korea right now? I never imagined that the President’s overseas tour destination would be Korea. I wish I had come with you. Hahaha. Oh~. You stopped by other places too?”

[We’re having dinner together today. How about dinner?]

“Of course, that’s fine. I’ll see you in the evening, Mr. President.”

[The location will be conveyed through agents.]

Doyle ended his English-speaking conversation with President Edwards and turned to ask.

“Where did we leave off earlier?”

“You just said….President….”

Instead of the still frozen strategy team leader, Lee Jeong-woo asked.

“Yeah. Why Edward?”

“The President of the United States…is that right?”

“Yes. That’s right. Why?”

“The chairman is having dinner with the President of the United States this evening?”

“Yeah. That’s right. Why is that?”

It was a given for Doyle, but it was not a given for them at all.

“Mr. Chairman, what have you been doing in the United States so far?”

Doyle answered in a low voice.

“If you tell that to CEO Lee Jeong-woo… you’ll die today.”

“yes?”

“CEO Lee Jeong-woo. I’ll tell you again seriously. If you hear everything about it from me, you’ll really die. On this happy day, when I become the CEO of Wonho Enterprise.”

He will be killed and disguised as a suicide by American agents. It was for information security purposes.

“…I won’t be curious, Mr. Chairman.”

“Good choice. I’m starting my CEO life today, so I can’t afford to commit suicide.”

Shiver shiver.

The frozen body of the strategy team leader showed no signs of loosening.

“Lastly, I want to say a word to CEO Lee Jeong-woo.”

“I will listen.”

Doyle spoke lightly about heavy topics.

“When I trust someone, I only trust half of them. The other half is distrustful and suspicious, and I check. Yesterday, I decided to trust CEO Lee Jeong-woo half of them. With the other half of my suspicion, I will monitor whether CEO Lee Jeong-woo is doing well at Wonho Enterprise. Of course, I will keep my previous promise. I will not interfere with management. However, I did not say that I will not monitor him.”

“Yes. I will manage with a clear mind. The salary I receive from the company is enough.”

‘Anyway, I understand what you’re saying really well.’

“You don’t have to do your best, and you don’t have to get the best results. Just let it roll along.”

“We will further develop the company in the future….”

But it seemed like he didn’t fully understand Doyle’s intentions.

“Hey. That’s not it. I mean, you have to be different from the former chairman. Are you saying the same thing twice on purpose?”

“…Yes, Chairman.”

With these words, Doyle left the shareholders’ meeting venue and headed to his car.

“…….”

This was truly the managerial ability that Doyle was looking for.

‘Keeping the company running smoothly.’

In fact, it was the most difficult. The company constantly has problems both externally and internally, and they are solved. If even one of these important problems is not solved, the company literally cannot run properly. If you miss one problem after another and it grows into a serious problem, it will be the day when the life of the corporation ends. There was even a securities company that went bankrupt because of a single employee’s mistake in entering numbers.

It was more difficult to maintain a company than to develop it. The fact that many large companies that were large corporations 20 years ago have now gone bankrupt proves this. Management that maintains a company for a long time can also be considered a skill.

‘CEO Lee Jeong-woo. Watch over me.’

The car turned the roundabout and the headquarters building of Wonho Enterprise came into view. Doyle thought of Lee Jeong-woo, who was still in the building.

‘…Do your best.’

After Doyle left, Lee Jeong-woo looked serious and lost in thought.

-You don’t have to do your best, and you don’t need the best results. Just let it roll along.

‘In moderation… The hardest thing is to say ‘in moderation…’

CEO Lee Jeong-woo’s thoughts were no different from Doyle’s. Whether it was in the military or in social life, moderate was the most difficult.

‘Besides, I told you to get it rolling. You’ll be busier than when you worked as the chairman’s secretary.’

Doyle gave only the final instructions and left without looking back, but CEO Lee Jeong-woo, who remained, couldn’t help but have a lot on his mind.

I went back to my original seat in front of the chairman’s office as the chief secretary and started thinking about the things I had to do. And without much thought, the things I had to do were clearly in front of me. Urgent, important, urgent and important… I considered them one by one and the answer came to me right away.

‘Now that I think about it… It’s just as the chairman said.’

Even in the difficult situation the company was facing, CEO Lee Jeong-woo had a clear vision of the direction the company should take, and all the methods came to mind.

“I know how….”

There were more than one or two methods. It was always because of the habit of reporting to the chairman. Even if there was the most efficient method, the chairman would often trample on it. Thanks to this, Lee Jung-woo suggested various plans that included the chairman’s preferences, and the company’s future was determined according to the chairman’s taste. However, in the end, it was a decision that did not deviate significantly from the range that Lee Jung-woo himself suggested and expected.

“Because that’s what I’ve been doing so far.”

But until now, there was no need to take responsibility when problems arose, because there was no one to step forward and hold the chairman accountable for his decisions.

‘Now the company runs according to my decisions…’

I wasn’t worried though. All I had to do was check all the risks in advance and choose the safest and most certain path. Above all…

“There is no obstacle in my way now.”

Lee Jeong-woo turned around in the secretary’s office, opened the door to the chairman’s office wide, and went in.

Wonho Enterprise has found the best manager who knows the company better than anyone else and is capable of making quick and effective decisions.

I sat down in the soft chairman’s chair and didn’t even have time to appreciate it before I heard the intercom.

Beep.

[Yes! This is Kim Seong-ho from the strategy team.]

“Manager Kim, come to the chairman’s office now.”

[Net, Vice President.]

“First, I’ll take over the strategy team. Next, the finance and personnel teams. Then the legal team… I’ll have to start by finding out the wrongdoings of the executives.”

CEO Lee Jeong-woo’s first steps were beginning.
