The 3th Generation of the Chaebol Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 214

#214.
At first glance, it seemed like it had something in common with the method he had been used against him.
He looked through the data just in case and belatedly confirmed Professor Lee Dong-ho’s name in the data.
“Does Professor Lee Dong-ho also conduct joint research with KM Electronics?”
“Well. I heard that Director Lee Il-tae is somewhat familiar with him.”
‘This is it.’
Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo was finally convinced that he had found the link to Director Choi Min-hyeok. Joint research is not always revealed. Research can be conducted in secret.
No, in fact, it is also the case that Professor Lee Dong-ho suddenly received attention.
Around the time when the story of the video patent that led to the sale of the STB division came out, Professor Lee Dong-ho gradually began to receive attention.
Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo felt his insides burning as he recalled the past events. His resentment toward Choi Min-hyeok was deeper than ever.
But I didn’t bother to tell Manager Ahn Gook-ho about this.
If you use this information well, you will be able to gain the trust of Director Lee Chang-myeong.
However, he was also certain that if his deduction was correct, Director Choi Min-hyeok was up to something else.
‘He’s really a great kid. I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t been hit.’
Unfortunately, Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo didn’t realize that he was making a big mistake. The direction he was thinking about right now was exactly what Choi Min-hyeok wanted.
In other words, the very act of learning about the new satellite system service was a trap.
Not knowing that, he was confident in front of Manager Ahn Gook-ho.
“First of all, I will take responsibility for this matter and report it to Director Lee Chang-myeong. Don’t worry too much.”
“Oh, really? Thank you very much.”
Director Ahn Gook-ho, feeling that his life was in danger, simply held the hand of Senior Director Kim Hyeon-woo and said thank you.
“Not at all. Employees from the same company should help each other.”
‘Chief Ahn, I will definitely get rid of you too!’
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo never forgot what happened to him at the hands of Vice President Ahn Gook-ho. He was determined to get revenge on Vice President Ahn Gook-ho if he could get his job.
* * *
Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo first investigated Professor Lee Dong-ho and Professor Song Han-seong separately. Unlike before, it was not difficult to obtain information since Choi Min-hyeok had leaked a lot of information.
‘But that’s strange. It seems like Director Ahn Gook-ho and the planning team investigated this before, so why did we only find out about this information now?’
There were quite a few questions.
However, it was difficult to find any evidence that Choi Min-hyeok had used another trick based on this information alone.
However, he was unable to dig into the details, so he summarized the information he had gathered and reported to Director Lee Chang-myeong about the new satellite system.
Excluding your own reasoning.
Director Lee Chang-myeong, of course, went crazy like a madman.
“Eww!”
A scream that shook the office.
It was a loud noise that could be heard not only by people passing through the passageway but also by nearby employees.
But when they found out that the owner of the voice was Director Lee Chang-myeong, everyone avoided him.
This wasn’t something that happened in a day or two, and Director Lee Chang-myeong’s notoriety was widespread within the company.
Moreover, there was talk within Oseong Electronics that Director Lee Chang-myeong would be left alone. This was because Director Lee Chang-myeong was someone who acted like the leader of a gang.
Director Lee Chang-myeong did not simply shout, but began beating Vice President Ahn Guk-ho’s entire body with a golf club.
“Eww!”
‘Why only me?!’
He used Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo to avoid violence, but he felt wronged because he was the one who ended up getting hit.
The reason was simple.
“You punk, Chief Kim Hyun-woo obtained important information just a few days after starting this job, and what the hell have you been doing up until now?!”
“… … .”
That’s right.
Even without Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo revealing the inside story, Vice President Ahn Gook-ho’s incompetence was revealed.
If I had known sooner, there would have been various alternatives, but now the situation is different.
Unlike when Director Park Jae-ho was still in power, Director Lee Chang-myeong had no way to do anything about the new satellite system.
Despite the pain that felt like his arm was broken, Chief Ahn Gook-ho clenched his teeth. If he resisted here, the violence would become more severe. It was best to just endure it.
I couldn’t bring myself to tell him that I had obtained the information and passed it on to Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo. If I did, he would get beaten up again for that reason.
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo, who was experiencing something like this for the first time, trembled.
He also caused quite a stir when he was at KM Electronics, but he was nothing compared to Director Lee Chang-myeong.
‘…He’s completely crazy.’
Unfortunately, Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo was the one who had caused trouble while he was at KM Electronics, so he knew very well why the higher-ups at Oseong Electronics were letting it go.
It was difficult to even breathe properly because I never knew when I would become a victim.
But watching it from the sidelines was more creepy than actually doing it.
Time didn’t pass very well at all.
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo indirectly experienced Vice President Ahn Guk-ho’s suffering and regretted how he ended up like this.
It was miserable.
My father Choi Du-jin’s warning came to mind again.
‘Fuck.’
Fortunately, after two hours, Director Lee Chang-myeong also came to his senses.
To be exact, I was so out of shape that I didn’t have the strength to swing the golf club.
In the end, even Senior Manager Kim Hyeon-woo, who was hit several times by a golf club while standing next to him, swallowed dry saliva, and Manager Ahn Gook-ho, whose face was swollen, could not bear to look him in the eye.
Director Lee Chang-myeong remained silent for a while, and fortunately, his anger subsided. Well, it wasn’t because he wanted to do it, but because of the recent situation.
In particular, after learning of the unexpected Walmart and Collins incident, Director Lee Chang-myeong also became calm.
“… How much is our loss?”
“that is…….”
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo glanced at Vice President Ahn Gook-ho.
Chief Ahn Gook-ho was unable to say anything as he was bathed in cold sweat.
In fact, not all of the Oseong Electronics projects related to the satellite business were related to Vice President Ahn Kook-ho. Even the joint standards were carried out separately by the Oseong Central Research Institute.
If we were to add up all the investments made by Oseong affiliates in relation to this satellite project, the scale would be enormous.
If you ask them to modify everything to fit the new system, all the relevant departments will be in chaos.
Even if Director Lee Chang-myeong were to receive severe disciplinary action for this incident.
Of course, if things end here.
We needed results that would convince researchers involved in the satellite broadcasting business.
“… First of all, haa, this is driving me crazy. Ah, really, what the hell is going on?!”
Director Lee Chang-myeong eventually got up from his seat and walked back and forth to his office. Director Lee Il-tae came to mind for a moment, but he soon forgot about it. There was no way he could have any influence on ETRI.
He also knew well that he couldn’t blame only Director Ahn Gook-ho for this incident.
This was more about finding an alternative than assigning blame.
To cover up this situation.
“When did you say the new satellite broadcasting system announcement was going to be?”
“A week later.”
“Yes. First, start with ETRI and thoroughly search everything. Find an alternative even if you have to dig up all the relatives of Professor Lee Dong-ho or Professor Song Han-seong. If you can, threaten them. Surely they are not completely related to our Oseong Group. I will take responsibility.”
“Oh, I understand.”
“Chief Ahn, you little punk, if you don’t do it right this time, you should know that you’re finished.”
“Oh, of course.”
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo, who had been quietly standing next to him, unexpectedly had a sparkle in his eyes. He was confident that if he did well, he could use this opportunity to make a comeback.
‘Director Choi Min-hyeok is probably involved in this incident as well, so if I just find out about that, I’ll be able to survive. It’s obvious if he’s a brat like Director Lee Chang-myeong.’
* * *
When Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo realized the seriousness of this matter, he met with Director Lee Il-tae, who was inside KM Electronics. His face was definitely good.
“It’s great to see you again, Director Kim.”
Director Lee Il-tae also continued to flatter. He recalled the days of KM Electronics in the past when the Left Blue Dragon and the Right White Tiger were in power, and continued to praise Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo.
Normally, this would be something that would make even Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo smile, but now the situation was different.
“Have you heard anything about the new satellite system?”
“Yes? What do you mean? Our satellite business division did not invest in the satellite system itself. Didn’t ETRI reject the investment proposal?”
That’s right.
KM Electronics also tried to increase its influence by lobbying within ETRI.
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo also knows this well, as he helped with this work during his time at KM Electronics. At that time, the STB division also had a close relationship with ETRI.
However, ETRI is so busy with the love calls from 10 large corporations including Osung Electronics that it does not have the capacity to even pay attention to KM Electronics, a mid-sized company.
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo also found this point strange. He couldn’t figure out what exactly Director Choi Min-hyeok was up to.
“No, based on what I investigated yesterday, the situation is different. I am certain that Director Choi is deeply involved in this matter as well.”
“Okay, just a moment.”
Director Lee Il-tae, who had barely caught his breath with the help of Director Lee Chang-myeong, made urgent phone calls here and there. The information that Choi Min-hyeok had spread had already been circulated within ETRI, so everyone knew about it.
In addition, Manager Heo Hoon found out about this information too late, and the satellite business division was already in an uproar. Manager Lee Seok-woo even went to see Team Leader Jo Seong-don, who had secretly carried out this work, and received a phone call while they were having a huge fight.
[He, he found out about that this morning?]
[I’m sorry. I never imagined that Team Leader Jo Seong-don would act like this. No, he didn’t even open his mouth to tell us even though he knew that our division was in charge of the satellite business. Should I have known this information through ETRI’s partner?]
Vice President Lee Seok-woo’s anger was sky-high. He honestly had nothing to do with office politics. He only worked for this satellite business.
However, he exploded with anger when he was hit in the back of the head by his own teammate, Team Leader Jo Seong-don.
[Oh, I got it. Let’s talk again when I get back to work.]
“… … .”
Senior Vice President Kim Hyun-woo realized belatedly that his guess was correct. No matter how much he turned ETRI inside upside down and how much he dug into the situation at Oseong Electronics, there was no answer.
‘It’s clear that Director Choi did it in the end.’
Director Lee Il-tae, who was pale and pale, was at a loss and didn’t know what to do. He couldn’t figure out what was going on.
“Oh, I guess I’ll have to look into it again and get back to you.”
“okay.”
Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo sighed and got up from his seat. He stared blankly at Lee Il-tae as he left, fidgeting like a dog with its tail on fire.
It was possible to predict what Director Lee Il-tae’s future would be like, since he had already been through enough.
If Director Lee Chang-myeong knew about this fact, he could have been the one who got into trouble. After all, if you think about it, he was also involved in the package from the time he transferred to Oseong Electronics to Director Lee Il-tae.
‘Should I tell this to Director Lee Chang-myeong? No, let’s just keep quiet about this.’
* * *
[Is the planning team really a planning team for our company? How on earth can they proceed with the satellite business without excluding our satellite business department?!]
The loud shouts of Manager Lee Seok-woo shook the KM Electronics planning team.
Manager Heo Hoon made a show of trying to stop Manager Lee Seok-woo. He wasn’t very active. He was also just dumbfounded.
Choi Min-soo, who was watching this scene from the entrance, just stared like a stone statue.
He also realized too late that this was something the planning team had planned.
However, I didn’t know the detailed details.
Director Lee Il-tae, who happened to be present at the time, was about to stop Manager Lee Seok-woo, but instead just watched.
“Team Leader Cho, please speak up!”
“No matter what, isn’t this too much? We’re not the only ones here, so let’s go into the conference room and talk.”
Team Leader Jo Seong-don’s calm expression did not change at all despite the manager’s loud voice. He was confident as if he had nothing to do with this matter. Even the employees who did not know the inside story tilted their heads.
