President Choi Du-jin also stuck out his tongue. He couldn’t help but know what Vice President Lee Dong-soo had in mind. But those people were untrustworthy.

“It would be a mistake to trust them. They are human beings who will do anything to fulfill their desires. The same goes for you.”

“As far as I know, President Choi Du-jin was in conflict with Director Choi Min-hyung because of the issue with Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo?”

“… Even if it wasn’t because of that incident, Minhyuk doesn’t like that guy. But this time, Vice President Lee Dong-soo, you went too far. It’s also a problem that you did things so sloppily. The most important thing is that Minhyuk underestimated that guy!”

“But if CEO Choi Du-jin helps… … .”

President Choi Du-jin laughed.

“Are you planning to use me?”

It was truly an absurd story.

“That’s not it. My story is… … .”

“Stop talking nonsense!!”

Vice President Lee Dong-soo closed his eyes for a moment at President Choi Du-jin’s firm words. However, he had no intention of giving up on this matter.

“I will fight to the end! I will fight for freedom of the press. I will fight with all my might for the people’s right to know!!!”

President Choi Doo-jin clicked his tongue at Vice President Lee Dong-soo’s behavior, which was similar to his behavior in his younger days.

“I advise you to back off a bit. You’ll only get hurt.”

“Let’s wait and see. Will that really happen? I’ll show the power of the press!”

President Choi Du-jin sighed softly and sat up.

“I understand how you feel. But I have to step down from my position as Vice President. I have no choice. I will hold a special shareholders meeting, so please let me know.”

“… … .”

Vice President Lee Dong-soo clenched his teeth. He could not have imagined that Director Choi Min-hyeok would attack President Choi Du-jin.

‘If Director Choi Min-hyeok had stepped forward himself, I would have hung on, but this kid calculated that too.’

* * *

The Han-Young Ilbo extraordinary shareholders’ meeting was not held right away thanks to Vice President Lee Dong-soo running around like crazy.

Vice President Lee Dong-soo worked really hard.

He met with other media outlet owners and pressured them, saying that if they let Director Choi Min-hyeok do as he wanted, he would be next.

In fact, other media owners also knew this fact.

But they were careful because of the work that Director Choi Min-hyeok was currently doing.

I mean, I went to the government building right away and called in government officials and put pressure on them.

Director Choi Min-hyeok enjoyed listening to Vice President Lee Dong-soo’s every move as he worked his butt off.

‘This is it, this is revenge.’

It’s not just a simple hit to the back of the head, it’s something that makes you vomit blood.

From Vice President Lee Dong-soo’s perspective, it was no different from being stuck in a swamp.

While observing Vice President Lee Dong-soo’s movements, Director Choi Min-hyeok also looked into what Vice President Choi Moon-kyung and Salomon Brothers were doing.

However, Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung was in a position to just watch, but Salomon Brothers was surprisingly quiet.

‘Is this a double eyelid?’

Director Choi Min-hyeok smiled to himself. He was also so focused on this work that he neglected other things.

Even when Chairman Choi Yong-wook called, he ignored him.

Finally, Team Leader Jo Seong-don spoke.

“I think they asked me to come here because of the expansion line for the semiconductor factory.”

“Does that have anything to do with me?”

“Didn’t you outsource the manufacturing of DVR chips, animation chips, and even Plims chips? That’s why you’re expanding your non-memory production facilities.”

“Oh, that. It’s not that important… … .”

The importance that Director Choi Min-hyeok was talking about was, of course, profitability.

Unlike the DVR chip, the rest of the chips are only for development purposes.

The idea was to create only the absolutely necessary demand.

But KM Semiconductor didn’t think that way.

“It’s an order that’s hard to ignore from your perspective. Even though they’re in the same group, they’re completely independent companies in terms of stock. Furthermore, as Director Choi Min-hyeok’s position grows, shouldn’t he attend?”

Director Choi Min-hyeok grumbled.

“It’s annoying… … .”

“… Even though it’s annoying, you have to attend this kind of event. You can’t ignore KM Group’s work forever. Furthermore, there was something you did recently, so it seems like Chairman Choi Yong-wook has a lot to ask about.”

“…all right.”

“…I will prepare it.”

* * *

Chairman Choi Yong-wook rarely got involved in the affairs of his grandson, Director Choi Min-hyeok. He was now afraid of Director Choi Min-hyeok’s affairs and did not want to know anything about them.

But even he could not ignore the work of his grandson, Director Choi Min-hyeok, as he kept receiving calls from the National Assembly, government ministries, and acquaintances from large corporations.

He asked Director Jang Seung-il just in case, but he only received the answer, “I don’t know.”

Director Jang Seung-il also had no idea what Director Choi Min-hyeok was up to.

In the end, we invited Director Choi Min-hyeok to the semiconductor expansion event.

Of course I thought he would come.

If you look closely, this work is being done because of the orders from Director Choi Min-hyeok.

KM Semiconductor was originally supposed to receive financial and technological support from TI to build non-memory semiconductor manufacturing facilities, but this was prevented from happening with the intervention of Director Minhyeok Choi.

Instead, KM Semiconductor used its own funds to expand its 8-inch wafer processing line facilities to 10,000 units per month.

This process utilized a 0.35u circuit line width.

The technical support for this part came from TI.

Instead, it is a condition of signing a large-scale supply contract with TI.

KM Semiconductor thus acquired integrated semiconductor production facilities encompassing assembly, testing, and semiconductor manufacturing.

Therefore, this factory expansion was meaningful.

Because of this, it was an event attended by local mayors as well as presidents of KM Group affiliates.

But the one who definitely got the most attention at this event was Director Choi Min-hyeok.

As soon as Director Choi Min-hyeok appeared, he immediately caught everyone’s attention.

KM Group executives were no exception.

Everyone lined up and began to greet Director Choi Min-hyeok like an emperor.

What’s surprising is the bureaucracy, including the mayor.

They also stood in line and gave their seal of approval to Director Choi Min-hyeok.

Even the local congressmen were no different. They watched Director Choi Min-hyeok’s expression and did not exert any external pressure.

Moreover, some people continued to watch Director Choi Min-hyeok’s expression.

Chairman Choi Yong-wook clicked his tongue while looking at Director Choi Min-hyeok during the event.

“…Your popularity is no joke.”

“It’s not that simple. It’s about seeing if there’s anything to gain.”

“Do you really have to be so harsh?”

Director Choi Min-hyeok grumbled.

“You’ve been thinking of something else since Grandpa.”

Even though the expansion line event was in progress, Chairman Choi Yong-wook only looked at Director Choi Min-hyeok.

“…Honestly, that stake.”

“Please give me a moderate amount.”

“I thought about it, I should leave the inheritance to other children… … . Huh? Is that really okay?”

Director Choi Min-hyeok chuckled.

“Am I of the class that should be greedy for KM Group shares right now?”

“… That’s a bit harsh. The value of KM Group shares isn’t that low.”

“Let’s say that you’ve gone too far.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok glared at Chairman Choi Yong-wook and then glanced at Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung.

Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung stared at Director Choi Min-hyeok with a gaze full of murderous intent, then turned his head away. He didn’t even come near Director Choi Min-hyeok because he found him burdensome.

In fact, there were more than one or two eyes watching Director Choi Min-hyeok.

Everyone present here was looking at Director Choi Min-hyeok.

It would be a total embarrassment to be ignored in this place.

Director Choi Min-hyeok realized anew that the future had changed significantly, no, had changed tremendously.

He had never been looked at like this in his past life.

Moreover, the target was KM Group executives.

He didn’t want to rush into shaking off this feeling.

‘Let’s go slowly.’

“… That’s fine. Why did you ask me to come here?”

Chairman Choi Yong-wook hesitated for a moment and then spoke carefully.

“Actually, I’ve been getting calls from all over the place. Yes, it’s because of the establishment of the Plims Corporation. How on earth does Plims work? It’s different from what I know. Even Director Jang Seung-il said he didn’t know Plims would progress this quickly.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok also agreed. He also intended to utilize the Plims technology to a small extent.

“That was the original plan. But our KM Electronics manpower is no joke. Especially Director Choi Byeong-yeon. He works on his own, so things progressed faster than I thought. I just put my spoon on the table that Director Choi Byeong-yeon prepared.”

“… Are you saying that this wasn’t planned?”

“Yes. Is that so? The communication standards have not even been established yet, and they are in the midst of a fierce battle for their rice bowls. Europe, the United States, and Japan are in a sharp conflict, and there is no way a private company can get involved in that.”

“… Are you saying that this wasn’t something you planned and carried out?”

“That’s right. Actually, I don’t know what the future holds. I’m just going to proceed, but I don’t know what will happen. My grandfather knows that too.”

“… Really?”

Director Choi Min-hyeok looked straight at Chairman Choi Yong-wook and spoke coldly.

“Yes, really. I don’t know. But people don’t think that way. And the media does. That’s why things have turned out this way.”

“Ha, if you do that, you will tell the truth… … .”

“Why? There’s no reason for that.”

“… Ugh.”

Only then did Chairman Choi Yong-wook understand the situation. But on the other hand, he stared intently at his grandson, Director Choi Min-hyeok.

Honestly, I couldn’t tell if it was true.

So I looked at Director Jang Seung-il in vain.

He was the same. He looked very embarrassed. This is something that happens as you do it. Does that make sense? If it happens as you do it, the government will make a fuss, and other countries like the US, Europe, and Japan will make a fuss.

“The important thing right now is the Han-Young Daily. I plan to finish it off this time. Don’t stop me.”

Director Choi Min-hyeok said one more thing and then stood up.

Chairman Choi Yong-wook clicked his tongue, but could not say anything else.

* * *

Director Choi Min-hyeok continued to pressure President Choi Du-jin.

Up to this point, as expected.

But then something completely unimaginable happened.

I received a call from Lee Ho-jun, the planning director of Hanbu Group, asking to meet.

Director Choi Min-hyeok told Team Leader Jo Seong-don that there was no reason to meet.

Team Leader Jo Seong-don made a bewildered expression, but did not refuse this instruction.

Then, Planning Director Lee Ho-jun came to see Director Choi Min-hyeok without contacting him directly.

Director Choi Min-hyeok tried to use his security team to kick him out, but then sent him into his office to see what he wanted to say.

“…I never thought I would end up in such a ridiculous situation.”

Planning Director Lee Ho-jun’s face turned red with excitement.

I was holding back my anger.

But Director Choi Min-hyeok glanced at the attendant who followed him.

It was Manager Yang Jeong-chun.

‘Was it okay at that time?’

But his eyes were different. They didn’t look particularly excited.

Director Choi Min-hyeok also did not know when Director Yang Jeong-chun would enter politics.

However, he had a rough idea of ​​what Manager Yang Jeong-chun would do.

‘Managing the Hanboo Group’s slush funds.’

That’s why Director Choi Min-hyeok ignored what Planning Director Lee Ho-jun was saying.

Even threats.

“Director Choi Min-hyeok is still inexperienced, so he seems to be unaware of the various situations that affect the Korean economy. If he is caught by the government, the Ohsung Group could also be dismantled!”

“… So are you saying that our KM Electronics could be dismantled by the regime? But the vice-ministerial officials I met at the meeting a few days ago didn’t say anything like that. Rather, they were watching my reaction.”

“that…….”

Planning Director Lee Ho-jun was momentarily taken aback.

Director Choi Min-hyeok said coldly.

“And speaking of the National Assembly, the people who attended the KM Semiconductor expansion line this time had different stories. They bowed their heads and said, “Please take good care of us in the future.”

“… That’s only a very small number. In reality, most members of the National Assembly are different. Director Choi Min-hyeok says such things because he hasn’t met them.”

“I’ll have to see it for myself to believe it. Are there any other stories?”

“… … .”
