◈ Episode 201 Public Offering (1)

The conference room suddenly fell silent.

Park Chi-guk blankly stared at the woman who came in while holding down the call button.

A call transmission signal has been transmitted.

And then, the phone rang in Hyun Ah Sol’s handbag as she came in.

“Oh my, who else is calling when you’re so busy?”

Hyuna Sol took her cell phone out of her bag and looked back and forth between the caller ID and the person in front of her.

“what?”

Park Chi-guk quickly hung up the phone and shouted in joy.

“Welcome! The owner of the Bukseong Group has arrived.”

“Me? You were waiting for me?”

Hyuna Sol looked confused and pointed at herself with her finger.

Park Chi-guk quickly bent down at a right angle to her.

“I’ve been waiting.”

Nam Woon-myung watched Park Chi-guk’s actions with a bewildered heart.

Park Chi-guk told what had just happened as if he were a child tattletale to an adult.

Hyuna Sol asked with a sly smile.

“So you just got fired?”

“That’s right. How dare you dismiss me? Isn’t that impossible?”

“Well done.”

“yes?”

“Pack your bags and go home quickly.”

Park Chi-guk asked again with a blank expression, as if he didn’t understand what was being said.

“I…… Miss?”

“Why don’t you shut your mouth?”

Regardless, Hyun Ah-sol, who had subdued her opponent with a single word, approached Nam Woon-myung, grabbed one of his arms, and hung on.

“Mr. Destiny, you asked me to go with you, but what if I go alone?”

It was almost like a scene between lovers.

Park Chi-guk, who was dumbfounded, couldn’t close his mouth.

Nam Woon-myung slowly took Hyun Ah-sol’s hand off and said.

“Mr. Park Chi-guk? Why don’t you just pack your bags and leave?”

“This, this kind of thing…….”

“Get that guy out.”

As soon as Nam Woon-myung’s voice fell, the directors rushed out and dragged Park Chi-guk out. It was an action that clearly showed they recognized who the real power in this place was.

After the place was cleared, Nam Woon-myung looked over the board of directors again.

“I guess we need to elect a new CEO.”

Everyone became tense for a moment. The CEO is the person who will hold all the decision-making authority in this company from now on.

Nam Woon-myung’s gaze, which had been scanning the faces of the directors, finally stopped on Executive Director Kim Young-dal.

“Director Kim?”

“yes?”

“Would you please take over as interim representative for the time being?”

“Ah! Okay, I understand.”

Kim Young-dal bowed his head deeply.

Nam Yun-myeong has not yet properly confirmed the North Star AF Tech board of directors.

I didn’t come here today to change the CEO. I just came to announce that the major shareholder had changed, but the other person was nagging me, so I ended up speeding unintentionally.

If Kim Young-dal has been working at Bukseong AF Tech for a long time, it won’t be difficult to reorganize the organization.

The envious gazes of the directors were focused on Kim Young-dal.

“Would you like to see me first?”

Nam Woon-myeong took Kim Young-dal outside.

The remaining directors will be taken care of by Yoon Se-bin and Hyun Ah-sol.

Nam Woon-myeong came out into the hallway and faced Kim Young-guk. On one side of the hallway, there were various exhibits showing the history of Bukseong AF Tech.

Nam Woon-myung, who discovered the exhibits at the Bukseong AF Tech, thought of his father.

There was a photo of Nam Yun-hyeong, Nam Woon-myeong’s father, attached to the seat of the first CEO.

Even though it was a photo I had always seen when I visited this factory a long time ago, it felt new.

“Thank you, Director Nam Woon-myeong.”

Kim Young-dal greeted him politely again.

“Director Kim, do you know who I am?”

“He is the director of Mega Asset Management…….”

“Other than that.”

Kim Young-dal tilted his head and looked at him again.

I guess I still don’t remember.

“I am……the son of founder Nam Yoon-hyung.”

“ah!”

Kim Young-dal looked at Nam Woon-myung’s face closely with a startled expression.

“Has it been too long?”

“Ah! I remember. Back then, the boss would sometimes bring his son to the factory… I can’t believe he’s already grown up like this.

“I remember that too. My father watering the flower beds and working at the factory. You were always there at that time.”

“Back then, the company was like a family.”

Although the family atmosphere may not necessarily be good, Nam Yun-myeong missed those days.

Nam Yun-myeong took out an old book from among the exhibits.

Monthly AF Tech. It was a magazine published in monthly format.

As I turned the cover, news of the new equipment that had been brought in at the time and the company’s sports competition caught my eye.

And in the sports festival scene, a photo of him and his father as a child, with their ankles tied together, competing in a three-legged race, was shown.

Nam Yun-myeong unconsciously caressed the photo with his hand.

A myriad of emotions soaked deep into my heart.

Time has already passed and those who left do not return.

Kim Young-dal, who guessed his mind, also became silent.

After a while, Nam Woon-myung raised his head and asked.

“Are there any more people from that time among the current executives?”

“No, I am the only one.”

Most of them said they quit because they couldn’t stand the changed corporate culture.

The reason Kim Young-dal stayed was because of his blunt personality and difficult family circumstances. Also, he was not an executive at the time of the takeover.

I endured all the humiliation and persevered until the end because if I was fired from this company, my whole family would be left on the streets.

Before I knew it, I was promoted and became an executive.

“As I said, from today onwards, Director Kim will become the interim CEO and rebuild the company.”

“Oh, I understand. But, but…….”

Kim Young-dal looked at Nam Un-myeong with questioning eyes.

When Nam Woon-myung nodded as if to ask, questions poured out like a storm.

“How did you come back? Did you completely take over Bukseong AF Tech? Will the relationship with Bukseong Group remain the same? If this company were to lose its relationship with Bukseong…….”

I fully understand his concerns.

Nam Yun-myeong answered briefly.

“Yes, he is the major shareholder. You can see that the relationship with Bukseong has been effectively severed. However, there is no reason to worry. Bukseong would not have cut ties first. Director Kim, you should take responsibility and reform the company. Keep those who need to be kept, and cut those who need to be cut. I will give you full authority.”

Nam Woon-myeong read Kim Young-dal’s face.

He is not a particularly driven person, but he is not someone who is obsessed with personal glory. He is the kind of person who can handle the situation smoothly and reorganize the company.

In an era of extreme change, he appears to have the ability to manage his employees well and grow the company steadily.

“thank you.”

Kim Young-dal bowed again.

“You don’t have to be polite. Director Kim is like an uncle to me.”

He is the mediator who connected his father and the company. If Kim Young-dal had not been there, he would not have been able to find his past nostalgia here. That alone was enough to make Kim Young-dal valuable.

As I put the book I was holding back where it was, Hyun Ah-sol came out of the conference room.

“Mr. Destiny, what are you doing?”

“Oh! I have something to ask you about.”

“Are you done with work? Let’s finish up quickly and go eat. It’s been a while since we last met like this.”

I understand Hyun Ah-sol’s feelings. These days, she is engaged in a fierce battle with her father at Bukseong Construction, so she must be thirsty for his advice.

“Right. Is Representative Yoon finished?”

“Well, whether it’s over or not, we can go first.”

Come to think of it, Yoon Se-bin and Hyun Ah-sol aren’t on very good terms.

I don’t think dinner will be comfortable today either.

Jeong Seon-yeong went to work at the Hwayoung Department Store right when it opened.

Actually, rather than going to work, I took a day off.

I had received a whopping 100 million won in bonus money, but I had been putting it off because I didn’t have time to spend it. Nam Woon-myung had given me a strict order not to save the 100 million won bonus money and to spend it, so I had to spend the money somehow.

“What good will it do if you just give me money? I don’t have time to spend it.”

She usually lived a life far from spending money, going back and forth between home and work, and was so busy that she didn’t actually have time to spend money, so for her, stopping by a department store leisurely like today was like a day when the sun rose in the east.

“Yeah, I should live like a human being. I’ve been working too much all this time.”

Mega Asset Management was woefully short of staff compared to the amount of funds it was managing. Although Nam Woon-myung and Park Won-tae were in charge of making major investment decisions, the staff who were responsible for the follow-up work were also given an equally large amount of work.

If it weren’t for the joy of making money, I might have moved to another company.

“Just like Mr. Destiny said, I should buy some luxury goods too.”

On the day when he paid the 100 million won, didn’t Nam Woon-myung mention Jeong Seon-yeong’s bag as a representative example? Anyway, today, I decided to enjoy spending money and headed to the main entrance of the department store.

There are only a few minutes left until opening.

Jeong Seon-yeong, who was loitering in front of the main gate, discovered a strange sight.

There was a long line before the main gate opened. There were about 100 people waiting in line. Oddly enough, most of them were young women of her age or older women.

“What line is it?”

I never thought there would be people lining up in front of a department store from the morning. Isn’t a department store a place where you can just walk in once the doors open?

Someone called out to her as she tilted her head.

“Seonyeong-ah! Jeong Seonyeong-ah!”

She looked around in surprise, not expecting to meet someone she knew here.

About tenth in line, a woman about her age was waving.

She looked at the face of the woman wearing sharp glasses and pulled out a familiar face from her long memory.

Han Hye-rin. Her college classmate.

After graduating from college, she got a job at Mega Partners, and Han Hye-rin settled down at MZ Securities. We haven’t been able to meet recently because we’ve been busy, but I remember congratulating Han Hye-rin on her transfer to the MZ Securities headquarters in a group chat with my colleagues.

“Huh? Hello! It’s been a while.”

“Seonyoung, what are you doing here?”

“Me? I came to the department store? You?”

“I came here to buy luxury goods.”

Han Hye-rin stretched her neck and spoke with a grin.

“But why are you standing in line?”

“Haven’t you heard of Open Run? Not everyone can enter a luxury brand store. Especially Erusha, you have to wait in line.”

“Erusha?”

“Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Chanel!”

Since she also happened to come to buy a luxury handbag, Jeong Seon-yeong was quite embarrassed. Money alone wasn’t enough to buy it! It was a new world!

Han Hye-rin explained the open run in detail as if she was training her, looking at her bewildered expression.

“……So I came here two hours ago and waited in line. I took a day off today. But what about you? Since you’re here now, you’ll probably have to wait behind me in line? You’ll probably get cut off because of the quota? Can you take another day off tomorrow?”

According to Han Hye-rin, it was a completely ruined situation.

“Vacation? I can’t afford it.”

“Then there’s nothing I can do. If I really have to buy something today, I should buy something that’s a level below what I can buy right away.”

Jeong Seon-yeong felt annoyed for no reason at the sight of Han Hye-rin clicking her tongue. After all, she was such a novice when it came to purchasing luxury goods.

As I was feeling discouraged, Han Hye-rin asked me as if she remembered me.

“Ah! You said Mega Asset Management?”

“huh.”

“Is that the Byglobal Fund Management Company?”

“That’s right. We’re currently investing in the UK and India.”

“I see. I manage the MZ Global Top Fund sold by MZ Securities.”

I heard he was transferred to the head office, but it looks like he ended up in the fund management team. This is a case that has been resolved properly.

“That would be fun.”

“By the way, did you hear that? There’s a rumor that your Baiglobal fund and our Global Top fund are competing.”

I think I heard a rumor.

In fact, no one was interested in such rumors. Given Mega Asset Management’s performance so far, it was obvious that Byglobal Fund would win.

Jeong Seon-yeong frowned and shook her head.

“I didn’t hear it.”

“I knew that. You probably hid it because you weren’t confident. What should I do? You’ll be in trouble later when the results are announced. The Global Top Fund is managed with the best fund managers pouring their heart and soul into it. Of course, I’m part of that team.”

Jeong Seon-yeong became increasingly upset.

“We’ll have to wait and see who wins. Which companies did you invest in?”

“Haha, you don’t know yet. Global Top Fund invested in Petanos. It’s one of the top ventures in Silicon Valley…….”
