The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 267



Only Noblemtl

Episode 267. Reconnaissance (1)

Tak Hee-min has been participating in the shareholders’ meeting from the beginning.

Dressed neatly in a fancy suit, he looked exactly like the president of a successful young venture company.

It’s not uncommon to see this at shareholder meetings.

It is not unusual for a young venture company CEO to attend another company’s general shareholders’ meeting to observe the shareholders’ movements.

Moreover, in a place where over a thousand people had gathered, he was just a young man in his mid-30s who looked a little fancy.

Of course, Tak Hee-min was considered the next conglomerate leader, so his face was sold to reporters.

If someone with that much insight had had the time to look around at all the attendees, it might have been discovered.

But today, fortunately, I didn’t have enough time to look around at all the attendees, who numbered over a thousand.

Even if there was someone who knew Tak Hee-min, they would have been too preoccupied with what was happening in the room to look around.

Thanks to that, Tak Hee-min was able to quietly observe the situation without being discovered by anyone.

From beginning to end.

I had a lot of fun watching it.

‘That’s Chae Kyung-jun.’

Tak Hee-min sat in a corner seat quite far back, but he didn’t miss a single thing that happened up front.

I couldn’t miss it.

As if he was watching an interesting movie, he took in every scene without turning his head for even a moment.

When I first sat down, I was so busy looking for Chae Kyung-jun that I didn’t even notice the business report or anything.

But the moment he stepped onto the podium, she immediately recognized that he was the young man she had been looking for.

‘It’s just like in the picture.’

I quickly learned that the person behind the obstruction of the construction of the future was a Taesungin named Chae Kyung-jun.

This is because in the first place, nearly twenty managers in the same industry listened to Chae Kyung-jun’s instructions and he did not hide the fact.

As I was investigating the people who were interfering with the construction of the future, I was connected to one person.

That was that young man.

‘He’s younger than I thought.’

At first, I was skeptical.

Because the specs were so poor.

I also thought that maybe someone else was planning it behind the scenes and he was just directing it.

But from the moment he started fighting the rioters on the podium, I knew that wasn’t the case.

Chae Kyung-jun is not a horse on stage.

He is a director and designer.

‘Judgement of people by their specs or age is the most stupid thing you can do.’

Tak Hee-min nodded and watched the general shareholders meeting.

Didn’t he already take over the Mirae Group in his early thirties?

It is foolish to misjudge others because of prejudice.

Didn’t his eldest son, Tak Jae-min, who was the likely successor, lose to him after making such a misjudgment?

I feel better once I admit it.

Tak Hee-min watched the general shareholders meeting with pleasure.

He would sometimes drive out the gunmen with the spirit typical of youth, but at other times he would show a fox-like side that could read the board.

He was a guy I quite liked.

To be exact, it smelled similar to myself.

‘If he were a little bigger, he’d be a pretty good opponent.’

Taesung must have noticed that too.

So, I guess they put him in such an important position already in his second year.

The shareholders’ meeting ended in an instant while Tak Hee-min watched with a happy heart.

Tak Hee-min was the last to leave the meeting with regret.

And as I passed by Chae Kyung-jun, I glanced at him.

In fact, it is quite remarkable that Tak Hee-min has come this far.

It’s still too early to meet Chae Kyung-jun.

But Tak Hee-min stopped for a moment.

Perhaps there was also a desire to be noticed.

Or maybe you just wanted to observe it up close.

wee.

Tak Hee-min only stopped for a moment.

‘See you next time.’

As Tak Hee-min was taking his steps without any hesitation, the voice that had been waiting behind him was heard.

“… Vice President Tak Hee-min?”

The moment his name was called, Tak Hee-min felt a sense of relief and joy at the same time.

This young man’s eyes weren’t slits.

At least they were gathering information about the rival group.

Even though the plan was disrupted, Tak Hee-min’s heart was boiling.

‘That’s what makes it fun!’

Tak Hee-min slowly turned around.

Chae Kyung-jun stood there looking at him as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Are you really Vice President Tak Hee-min?”

If the first question was one of doubt, now it was one of conviction.

Tak Hee-min smiled happily and nodded.

“It’s an honor to know you. My name is Tak Hee-min.”

I wonder how the young man will turn out.

What kind of expression will he make when he sees the successor of a rival group appearing at this important shareholders’ meeting?

Tak Hee-min observed him.

Shock and bewilderment.

It passed by in a split second.

Chae Kyung-jun quickly changed his expression and stood in front of Tak Hee-min.

‘It’s not like I’m completely hiding my expression. But it’s not like I’m completely innocent either.’

The article said he was 29 years old.

Even considering that he entered society at a younger age than others as a high school graduate, this level of courage was not something that could be easily acquired.

Even if you spend the same amount of time, the quality of the experience you have is different.

Tak Hee-min could tell at a glance how much time this young man had spent.

Indeed, Chae Kyung-jun did not show any embarrassment and instead showed a happy expression like Tak Hee-min.

“Welcome. If I had known that Vice President Tak Hee-min was coming, I would have greeted you sooner.”

Tak Hee-min felt happy when he saw Chae Kyung-jun’s expression.

Now, Chae Kyung-jun was showing an expression that said, ‘I’m glad I caught him.’

I don’t really know what he thinks.

But the very act of creating that kind of atmosphere was important.

Mirae Group and Taesung Group are fated rivals.

One side is fighting to keep the top spot, while the other side is desperately trying to tear its neck apart.

The successor to the number one group attended the shareholders’ meeting of the number two group affiliate.

What would people think if they found out about that?

-Tak Hee-min has some kind of relationship with someone at Taesung Construction.

or.

-Mirae Group is interested in a subsidiary of Taesung.

It’s obvious that such rumors will spread.

If it is the former, Tak Hee-min could be accused of being a traitor or a spy.

Tak Jae-min, who sees the weakness more than anyone else, will deal a blow to him by making him a traitor.

If it is the latter, attention will immediately turn to Taesung Construction.

In this situation, it’s obvious who people will be interested in.

And that wasn’t what Tak Hee-min wanted.

He didn’t want to do anything good for Taesung, his rival group.

On the one hand, I wanted to see this young man grow up a bit more.

‘You may not have read my expectations, but you have read everything else.’

At least, it means that Tak Hee-min immediately realized that it would be disadvantageous if he was caught here.

From the beginning of his meeting with Tak Hee-min, the young man was trying to gain an advantageous position.

‘That won’t work.’

Tak Hee-min stood facing Chae Kyung-jun.

“I really wanted to see it. Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun was a great help to me.”

“How is it?” said Tak Hee-min with a proud expression.

For a moment, Chae Kyung-jun’s face distorted.

Because it was a hallway with a lot of sound, several employees who were leaving to clean up looked this way.

Chae Kyung-jun had been paying attention since Tak Hee-min’s name was mentioned, but he stopped moving and opened his mouth wide at Tak Hee-min’s words.

‘Didn’t you clearly say Vice President Tak Hee-min earlier?’

‘If it’s Tak Hee-min, he’s the vice president of Mirae Holdings. He’s the candidate for successor to the Mirae Group.’

‘Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun helped Tak Hee-min?’

‘What’s your relationship?’

It was a statement that could easily be misunderstood by anyone.

Chae Kyung-jun frowned and looked at Tak Hee-min.

With his slender build and slender face, he looked fragile at first glance.

But now I see that he seems both cunning and stubborn.

‘I know you’re a few levels above me when it comes to thinking.’

I tried to seize the initiative, but instead I ended up getting attacked.

Chae Kyung-jun sighed deeply and barely managed to stop himself from looking back.

If you look flustered now, it’s just as Tak Hee-min intended.

Chae Kyung-jun made up his mind in a split second and quickly opened his mouth.

“You are the one who ruined my plans.”

Even without looking back, I could feel the relief coming from behind.

“Then that’s right.”

“There’s no way that Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun knows Tak Hee-min, right?”

Chae Kyung-jun read the interest in Tak Hee-min’s eyes.

And I quickly opened my mouth before he could say anything more and make the situation worse.

“This is my first time meeting a big shot like Vice President Tak Hee-min, so I’m not very good at greeting guests. Please come this way. I don’t know your purpose, but since you’re here, I’ll treat you to some coffee.”

Tak Hee-min stared at Chae Kyung-jun as if observing him for a moment, then smiled faintly.

And I started walking as Chae Kyung-jun guided me.

“Is that so? I also feel bad about just going back after seeing Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun, who is rumored to be the one doing it.”

“It is an honor.”

Chae Kyung-jun led Tak Hee-min to the cafe set up in the lobby of the convention center.

The employees who were watching the backs of the two tilted their heads, one froze, and one sank seriously.

The person who was frozen was the IR team leader, and the person who became serious was Chae In-ha.

Chae In-ha hesitated whether to follow or not, then shook his head and opened his phone.

‘I usually don’t tell anyone about my team leader because I feel like a nitpicker, but this won’t do. This is an emergency.’

After opening the text message and going through several contacts, Chae In-ha quickly called out one number.

‘Right now, it’s not Mom, Dad, or Oppa. It has to be President Kwon Tae-ho.’

Chainha quickly typed on the keyboard.

* * *

Chae Kyung-jun and Tak Hee-min sat in a corner of a deserted cafe.

If anyone saw them, the atmosphere was friendly, as if they were old friends they hadn’t seen in a long time.

However, if you come closer and listen to their conversation, you will feel that something is strange.

“It’s really surprising. For such a great person as the Vice President to come all the way here. If I had passed by without seeing him, I would have regretted it for a long time.”

“Hahaha. I was worried that you might not recognize me. If you did, you would have been a little disappointed.”

“That’s really weird of you to say. You came in secretly and want people to find out. You’re not some kind of attention seeker. Haha.”

“That’s funny. No one has ever said that to me before.”

“Then, it is even more of an honor since it is your first experience.”

“Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun is a more interesting person than I thought.”

The two looked at each other and laughed, hahaha.

The words and the face were literally playing separately.

‘This kid is really annoying. What are you trying to get at by sneaking into another company’s general shareholders’ meeting?’

Chae Kyung-jun was unable to control his emotions when he met an unexpected enemy right in front of him.

‘Why are you so hostile? Are you so angry that I used your plan?’

Tak Hee-min was observing him with interest.

As the saying goes, enemies meet on a single-log bridge, and from Chae Kyung-joon’s perspective, he couldn’t be calm when he met the successor of Mirae Group, who had used his plans and harbored revenge against him.

The only thing I can do now is to speak with a smiling face, showing the utmost restraint.

‘I guess it’s okay to try this much.’

Even though his stomach was churning, Chae Kyung-jun did not lose his senses.

Although his tone became a little harsh, he did not cross the line.

I thought it was okay to respond to this person who entered the enemy territory without warning.

Indeed, the opponent responded with the same degree of violence, but did not seem to be particularly offended.

Rather, it felt like we were enjoying fighting back.

‘How should I stab you next?’

Chae Kyung-jun took a sip of coffee to buy some time.

Even though it was a cold winter, what he ordered was an iced Americano.

My stomach felt a little queasy as the cold coffee entered the hot room.

The other person just looked at Chae Kyung-jun and smiled.

As if giving in to the attack.

Chae Kyung-jun stopped worrying after seeing that.

‘This is an informal meeting. It means you can poke around a little.’

The enemy would have come to scout anyway.

And if you came to Taesung Construction on purpose, there is only one reason.

The moment he thought that, Chae Kyung-jun put down the coffee he was drinking.

There is no need to beat around the bush.

There was only one thing Chae Kyung-jun had to ask now.

“Vice President. You hired the stockbroker, right?”

Tak Hee-min’s eyes narrowed even more.

It was a laughter that went beyond interest and even seemed alive.

“Wow, this is really fun.”
