The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 261



Only Noblemtl

Episode 261. Chaos (1)

Everyone has different thoughts about their work and workplace.

Some people will feel like it’s a hell they want to beat up right away, while some crazy people will see it as a comfortable place to hold down innocent subordinates because they don’t want to go home.

For Kwon Tae-ho, the company was a battlefield.

When I close my eyes, I imagine myself standing alone in a wasteland with no one around.

You don’t know how far you have to go, and there may be traps in that wasteland.

It’s the same even if you look back.

I’ve come so far that I’ve forgotten where I came from.

There is no going back.

Now all that remains is to move forward.

However, the reason why Kwon Tae-ho said that it was a battlefield and not just a desert or a wasteland was because of the things that blocked the way.

Sometimes it was a person, and sometimes it was a company.

Kwon Tae-ho sometimes went around them, but he mostly destroyed them.

Cruelly, without mercy.

Why?

Because we lived in those times.

The IMF did.

It was a time when people cut off hands and feet, fed them to their torso, and sold them for a price.

I can’t stand it when I get emotional about my work.

Kwon Tae-ho knew very well how many people become unemployed and how many families are destroyed at a time during restructuring.

I did it even though I knew it.

Now, putting his feelings into his plans while keeping things in his hands was a denial of the years he had accumulated.

Thinking about it that way and looking back, the path that Kwon Tae-ho walked was not just a simple land.

It was a corpse and a sea of ​​blood.

Guns and knives aren’t the only way to kill someone.

With just one word, with one payment, a person can die.

That is why Kwon Tae-ho did not create a force.

This is because if Kwon Tae-ho, who has both power and information, were to create a force, it could grow to a level that could threaten Tae-seong.

Because it is Kwon Tae-ho’s power, he will wield all kinds of power and people will die unjustly because of it.

It’s ruining my life.

The road ahead is blocked.

Because his power was so strong, Kwon Tae-ho had to be alone.

“… … .”

Kwon Tae-ho opened his eyes that had been tightly shut.

The figure of a young man appeared like a mirage across the desk and then disappeared.

It was the first time I had ever met someone of my own.

Why would that be?

Is it time to start preparing for a generational change?

A person whose life changed with your support has come this far?

I don’t know.

But one thing was certain.

The young man is also twisted.

Like yourself.

Kwon Tae-ho lifted his thin lips.

Because his impression was so sharp and sharp, it was difficult to change it with just a faint smile.

However, if the chairman or Gam Bae-seop saw Kwon Tae-ho now, they would be shocked.

‘No, is President Kwon this happy?’

I was pleased.

When I first heard that the identity of the sponsor was being questioned, I thought that he was quite twisted.

But I crawled up and came here anyway.

On his own, just as he had done.

I really wanted to raise it myself.

But I endured it.

There is an order to things.

If you bring them in now, they won’t be able to gain the experience they could have gained from working at an affiliate company when they were younger.

These are things that you want to get but can’t get later on as time goes by.

Besides, Kwon Tae-ho is the first person to let him in.

The boss and executives who are like snakes will try to use you in some way.

Before that, we need to let things loose a little more.

Coming into the headquarters meant being tied to a favor.

‘But I guess we should start moving slowly.’

Kwon Tae-ho looked again at the battlefield he had pictured in his mind.

If we continue like this, what will appear and what will have to be killed?

What words can be written on it?

Of course, not everything goes as planned.

The situation is always changing, so I just decided on a major path.

Now all that remains is to move forward.

-Crunch.

Kwon Tae-ho picked up his cell phone.

No matter how much you prepare, the groundwork is never enough.

The difficulty of the process varies depending on how desperately you move from below.

Taeho Kwon, who logged into the game for the first time in a long time, called the only person on his friends list.

-I have a favor to ask.

Kwon Tae-ho started to move.

I was on my way to the IR team with Chae In-ha.

IR team.

It was a department for communicating with investors.

In short, it can be seen as a place to deal with shareholders.

Investors who purchase stocks are all shareholders and have the right to request information about the company.

I invested money, so shouldn’t I know whether the company I invested in is doing well or not?

In that sense, the IR team needed various capabilities, including finance, accounting, tax law, corporate structure, M&A, presentations, and people management.

The busiest season for the IR team was, of course, the general shareholders’ meeting.

Of course, the extraordinary general meeting is busy, but it is held because there is an agenda, so the IR team is rarely bombarded.

But when it comes to the formal general meeting, all kinds of people show up and ask all kinds of questions.

Why did sales decrease last year? Why did labor costs increase? Are you going to split the business? Why is the order backlog like this?

Actually, I have never attended a general shareholders meeting.

It was also my first time meeting the IR team.

That’s why I was curious about what kind of people they were.

They must be talented in many ways since the CEO specifically asked them to go.

“Shall we go?”

I opened the office door with a pounding heart.

“… … ?”

And I doubted my eyes.

For a moment I thought I had come to the wrong place when I saw the sign, but it definitely said IR Team.

“… … I heard that there was a flyer going around in Jongtobang, but it’s not true. It wasn’t a visit with any special purpose. You can think of it as a greeting exchange while participating in a consortium related to the construction industry.”

“… … I would appreciate it if you would think that the fact that I have met with the Vice Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport several times shows that our company’s presence is significant. In a positive sense. Yes. No, that rumor is not true.”

“… … Stock price manipulation is nonsense. Where did you hear that? Oh, I’m sorry. We are strictly doing our best to operate legally.”

One side resembled a call center.

As soon as I hang up the phone, another call comes in.

Just as I was catching my breath, the phone rang again.

Because of this, the staff responding to the situation were unable to do anything else.

“Hey, the financial statements haven’t arrived yet? What the heck is the finance team doing? Hurry up and get them!”

“What does the PR team do that takes so long to produce promotional materials? Call them.”

“Have you finished writing the business plan?”

The other side was a veritable battlefield.

People who are pounding away at their keyboards while pulling out their hair, people with bloodshot eyes from switching between two monitors, people making phone calls to each department to urge them to send in data, etc.

He looked so busy that he didn’t even have time to open his eyes.

We stood at the office entrance for a while, watching them, but no one noticed us.

As I stood still and looked at them, Chae In-ha also watched quietly from the side.

“You want me to work in a place like this?”

Chae In-ha muttered as he looked at the employees who were wearing wrinkled shirts with their sleeves rolled up.

“There’s a department like this too. I’m glad I came.”

“Oh my.”

Chae In-ha let out an exclamation with complicated feelings.

I’m half amazed, half worried.

“Are you worried about what to do next?”

“yes.”

“Don’t worry. We won’t ask you to do that. Do you think you’d bring in a beginner and teach them from the beginning when you’re so busy? It would be a burden.”

Chae In-ha looked at me and nodded as if he understood.

I spoke neither loudly nor quietly, so everyone in the office probably heard.

It’s not like they set it up without knowing we were there.

I didn’t have time to respond, so I just left it alone because it was annoying.

In fact, the moment I said that, the team leader suddenly stood up and gestured to me.

“Hello, I am Chae Kyung-jun, the leader of the special response team who was instructed to join.”

“This is team member Chae In-ha.”

The team leader answered with a face that looked tired.

“Welcome. I already heard the news from the boss.”

He took off his jacket and hung it on the chair, and loosened his tie.

The area under his eyes was dark, as if he had stayed up for several nights.

He looked me over with half-closed eyes.

“You’re smarter than I thought.”

“What did you think?”

“The only advertising tower that is still intact is Hou Tai.”

I answered playfully.

“Hello. I am Madam Taesung’s face. This time, I came to show my face to the shareholders.”

“Hmm.”

The team leader looked a little surprised.

Perhaps he didn’t quite believe my achievements.

I guess someone thought I had created the achievements to push him forward.

But I knew exactly what my role was.

Madam Face. I said it strangely, but now I am Taesung’s signboard.

I was the one who could maximize Taesung’s positive image.

The team leader pushed up his round glasses and said.

“You know your role well. That’s right. I think this shareholders’ meeting will be a bit noisy. The best way to calm negative public opinion is to divert attention elsewhere. Team Leader Chae, you should take charge of that.”

“All right.”

The team leader chuckled and clapped his hands twice.

“Now, pay attention! Here comes the culprit who has been tormenting us!”

In an instant, dozens of pairs of eyes gathered.

Everything was burning brightly.

There was more malice than goodwill there, so I couldn’t help but laugh.

Chae In-ha whispered in fright.

“No, why are you guys doing this? Are you enemies?”

I didn’t whisper.

“Yes. I lost. Because of me, the phone lines started going crazy and the shareholders’ meeting went crazy. How could I be happy with the increased workload?”

“Aha, I see!”

Chae In-ha made a face of “Oops” after hitting his left palm with his fist.

There’s no way he couldn’t hear our conversation.

The IR team members all sighed in unison.

The hostility has subsided.

The team leader spoke as if he were representing the group.

“Is it really necessary to say that we lost the war? It is true that our workload has increased, but it is not Team Leader Chae’s fault. From the company’s perspective, it is true that we have achieved great results.”

I guess he had no intention of taking the initiative.

The team leader accepted us obediently.

The other team members also turned away from the enemy’s childish gaze and returned to their respective tasks.

I expected there to be a lot of resentment, but people are kinder than I thought.

If I were you, I wouldn’t have left that guy alone who gave me this much work.

Give it to me.

Looking back at the team divided into the call center and the battlefield, the team leader formally introduced himself.

“Do you know what the IR team does?”

“I have a rough idea.”

“As Team Leader Chae said earlier, I have no intention of teaching you our work. However, I can’t have you go into the shareholders’ meeting without knowing anything. You two can look into our work here.”

I nodded.

“You mean to figure out how it works, how to respond, and what contingencies there are?”

The team leader looked surprised.

“You’re quick to catch on. Yes, that’s right. While you’re here, there’s another important thing you need to do.”

I smiled faintly when I saw his expression as if to say, “There’s no way I can get this right.”

“Are you asking for the details of our project?”

A look of shock crossed the team leader’s eyes.

“No, that’s true. How did you know? Did the boss tell you in advance?”

“No. I just heard that the general meeting was going to be a mess. Since I was the cause, you need to know exactly what I did so you can lie or cover it up.”

The team leader scratched the back of his head.

“… … That’s right. This is it, sir. Your eye for detail is no joke.”

The team leader put down what he was doing and brought in two chairs.

“But before we begin, let me ask you one question.”

A glimpse of pure curiosity was evident.

“yes.”

“I heard a rumor that the designer is Team Leader Chae. Is that true?”

“Well, yes.”

“crazy.”

When I answered calmly, I heard a not-so-calm exclamation.

I wondered if it was okay for a team leader to be like this, but I decided to let it go since there are team leaders like me.

In a way, doesn’t this mean that Taesung’s heart is more generous than Mirae’s?

The team leader’s eyes lit up like a scribe taking dictation.

“Then shall we hear a brave story?”
