Episode 269. Reconnaissance (3)

After sending the text, I looked straight ahead with an anxious heart.

In the distance I saw two men entering the cafe.

I quickly placed my order and sat down in the corner.

I followed him to the lobby, but I couldn’t see him very well from where Chae In-ha was.

If I got closer I could see it, but I couldn’t.

Clearly, Chae Kyung-jun is facing an important moment right now.

‘sad…….’

I was startled by the emotions that came to me the moment I started chaining.

The emotion that Chae In-ha felt most right now was not envy or embarrassment, but sadness.

Chae Kyung-jun left behind himself.

He didn’t even ask if I wanted to go with him.

I know. I can’t be of any help to him.

Even if we go together, he just sits next to me and watches me.

These days, I take him with me often, perhaps for the sake of experience, but I couldn’t help but miss him at important moments like now.

I want to be together.

I know we can’t stand side by side.

So I want to stand behind that too.

Age didn’t matter.

I already knew his abilities well because I saw them right up close.

Unlike her peerage, Chae In-ha knew her place well.

So I had no choice but to watch and not approach carelessly.

‘That doesn’t mean I can just sit there and do nothing, like a decoration.’

If you can’t keep up, you have to try.

He didn’t want to be a burden to Chae Kyung-jun.

So these days, I’ve been trying really hard to figure out his intentions.

I tried to use my head in ways I had never tried before, and tried to learn about unknown things I had never tried to know before.

The idea that came to mind was to contact Kwon Tae-ho.

I never do things like tattling on others, no matter what.

Because it would be a betrayal to Chae Kyung-jun.

But now, no matter how much I thought about it, the only person that came to mind was Kwon Tae-ho.

Even if a president or executive from another affiliate of Taesung had come to visit, I would have watched with ease.

But this time, it’s Tak Hee-min from Mirae Group.

Even though Chae In-ha was still lacking, Chae Kyung-jun explained everything he had done.

That’s why he also knew that a big rock called Tak Hee-min was entangled in his plans.

Tak Hee-min came to see me in person.

Suddenly, I felt worried.

I never even thought about worrying that Chae Kyung-jun might leave Taesung.

I just hit a wall too quickly.

I just wondered why a big shot like Tak Hee-min came to see Chae Kyung-jun.

What if you do something to Chae Kyung-jun?

Chainha put strength into the hand holding the cell phone.

I felt helpless and unable to do anything.

-Wow.

When the cell phone rang, Chae In-ha was startled and quickly raised his hand.

I thought I would get a text back since I sent it, but I got a phone call.

It was clear that Kwon Tae-ho also took this situation very seriously.

-Inha Yang. Is that text message really true? Tak Hee-min came to see you in person?

“Sir… … No, sir. Team leader Chae Kyung-jun just now went to have a one-on-one conversation with Tak Hee-min. What should I do? I can’t interrupt him.”

Interfering now isn’t just ignoring Chae Kyung-jun; it’s interfering.

All I could do was hope that the conversation would end safely.

-What happened before Tak Hee-min came? It doesn’t matter. Tell me everything.

In a trembling voice, but as calmly as possible, Chaina explained what had happened that day.

Eventually, the voice on the other end of the phone quieted down.

-They say Tak Hee-min has already become aware of Chae Kyung-jun’s existence.

“The team leader also recognized Tak Hee-min.”

-That’s obvious. If you did it so openly, it’s obvious that Chae Kyung-jun would know.

The voice of the old man I had seen since I was young was infused with my faith in him.

Chaina somehow felt at ease.

‘The man who values ​​time and efficiency put everything aside to make a phone call, so he must care a lot about the team leader. He must have told me a plan.’

Kwon Tae-ho seemed lost in thought for a moment, then spoke in a slightly lighter voice.

-I don’t think you have to worry. This is just a preliminary battle.

“Is this a preliminary battle?”

-Yes. Neither of them will have any intention of getting into a full-blown fight. They will probably tease each other a little or form a line. Either way, it’s a good thing. It’s faster than you might think.

“Isn’t that a problem with being so fast? I don’t think the team leader is ready.”

There was a sound like laughter on the other end of the phone.

Chainha was shocked.

That’s because Kwon Tae-ho rarely smiled.

-There is a saying that Chae Kyung-jun often says. He says that opportunities do not come when you are prepared. On the contrary, he means that even if you are not prepared, you need to have the ability and determination to seize opportunities at any time.

“ah.”

Chainha was impressed.

Kwon Tae-ho, who was watching from afar, knew better.

“But the opponent is the successor of that arrogant Future Group. What if I press on him? Then there will be a fight.”

-Don’t worry. Neither of them are that stupid.

Both of them are people who use their heads in their own way.

So, rather, accidents will not occur.

Kwon Tae-ho was confident of that.

“Then what should I do?”

-Please stay by my side.

Chaina hesitated.

“I can’t do anything. All I can do is just be there.”

-Sometimes there are people who give you strength just by being there.

Chae In-ha’s heart warmed.

‘I know you’re saying that because I’m the chairman’s daughter, but it’s nice to hear you say that.’

Kwon Tae-ho’s words meant, ‘No matter what you do, someone who believes in you and follows you becomes your strength,’ but Chae In-ha did not overestimate himself.

Because I thought it was still far away.

“Then I’ll do as you say, sir. Oh, is there anything you’d like to say to the team leader?”

-I have something to tell you… … .

The phone became quiet again, as if he was lost in thought.

This was also something that rarely happened to Kwon Tae-ho, so Chae In-ha tilted his head.

-No. I think it’s better to leave it to your own judgment. Don’t even tell him that I called.

Chainha was embarrassed.

“Uh… … That’s a bit.”

-I know you don’t want to keep a secret from Chae Kyung-joon. You want to stand by In-ha’s side proudly, right? But it’s better to keep this matter a secret. Just the fact that I intervened might influence your choice.

Chaina was convinced.

Her young boss is quite the thinker.

If you know that Kwon Tae-ho called, you might waste your energy trying to figure out his intentions.

And if you think too deeply, you might end up interfering with Chae Kyung-jun’s choice.

“I don’t know about anything else, but if it helps you, Team Leader, then I’ll do it.”

-Good idea. Then please stay by my side. Inha, I’ll see you next time.

When I hung up the phone, I felt a lot more relieved.

I also took a quick walk to where I could see Chae Kyung-jun and Tak Hee-min.

Fortunately, the two were so absorbed in their conversation that they didn’t even pay attention to Chae In-ha outside the cafe.

‘It’s so friendly.’

They were both laughing, having fun.

However, Chae In-ha, who had been watching Chae Kyung-jun from the side, soon realized that it was a mask.

That he is such a formidable opponent that he has to wear such a thick mask.

As soon as Tak Hee-min stood up, Chae In-ha quickly retreated to the corner.

Since the staff were busy clearing away desks and banners, it was easy for Chainha to hide among them.

As soon as Tak Hee-min left, Chae In-ha ran over and stood next to Chae Kyung-jun.

It might be because of the phone call Kwon Tae-ho made earlier.

Chainha looked up at his face cautiously.

‘Oh, I’m mad.’

Now it was easy to read Chae Kyung-jun’s expression.

Anger was seeping out between the expressionless faces.

What could have made you so angry?

I wanted to ask, but I hesitated a little.

Is it okay for me to step into his private space now?

‘I’ll tell you if I need to. But I can’t just wait forever.’

Is it time to approach or is it time to wait?

While Chae In-ha was thinking, Chae Kyung-jun suddenly turned his head.

“You’ve kept me waiting for a long time. I’m sorry for leaving without saying anything.”

“No. Did the story end well?”

Chae Kyung-jun ran his hands through his hair.

Chae In-ha opened his eyes wide as he saw something like that for the first time.

“He’s a really annoying person. But I can’t just accept it.”

“I guess he was a difficult opponent.”

Chae Kyung-jun sighed deeply.

“Yes. Putting aside my personal feelings, he was quite difficult to deal with. He was the most difficult person I’ve ever met. Do I really calculate every word I say? Are you crazy, or something?”

“Isn’t it amazing that the team leader was able to deal with that kind of person without being pushed around?”

Chae Kyung-jun looked down at Chae In-ha for a moment.

“How do you know it hasn’t been pushed?”

“I can’t imagine the team leader being pushed around.”

Chae Kyung-jun stared blankly and then smiled faintly.

Before I knew it, my anger had subsided a lot.

Chaina nodded vigorously and said.

“Still, you held on well. Isn’t it better to find out a little bit before you do something rather than just going for it?”

“Is that so?”

“Yes! Of course! Just hold on for a bit and then I’ll knock it over later!”

Chae Kyung-jun chuckled.

“Yes, I will do that. Inha, please help me a lot.”

“yes!”

The two walked into the lobby while chatting away.

The IR team leader was waiting for them with a very nervous expression.

The two quickly approached and began helping the employees clean up.

The IR team leader, who had been waiting anxiously, let out a sigh of relief.

He was about to ask something, but then shook his head.

Chae Kyung-jun is not his subordinate.

Because I thought it wasn’t something I should interfere with.

‘I was worried, but looking at your expression, it seems like things have turned out well.’

The IR team leader saw Chae Kyung-jun moving busily among the employees.

‘But isn’t Tak Hee-min a candidate for the future group? If you even come to see someone like that, what kind of person is he?’

The IR team leader stared blankly for a moment before shaking his head.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Moreover, since Chae In-ha is by my side, I think I can at least handle things if something happens.

The team leader instinctively gave up on the idea.

* * *

“sorry.”

Kwon Tae-ho apologized as he entered the conference room.

Inside, several employees were waiting for him.

Kwon Tae-ho didn’t really make any excuses, but the meeting attendees were convinced.

‘It must have been really important for the boss to leave so hastily.’

That’s because Kwon Tae-ho ran out in a hurry in the middle of the meeting.

“Then let’s resume the meeting.”

As the briefing employee opened his mouth, Kwon Tae-ho raised his hand to stop him.

Silence fell again in the conference room.

It was to avoid disturbing him while he was lost in thought.

Kwon Tae-ho rubbed his fingers and thought about something for a very short time, then picked up his cell phone.

‘I’ve met one side, so I should give the other side a chance to meet me. That way, the information will be fair.’

Kwon Tae-ho nodded and tapped his cell phone.

A look of doubt appeared on the faces of the employees watching him.

‘What on earth is going on… … .’

Kwon Tae-ho’s response was quick, and the meeting resumed quickly.

But unlike Kwon Tae-ho, who quickly became focused, the employees did not hear the briefing.

‘If President Kwon is that concerned, this isn’t normal. What on earth is going on?’

But there’s nothing they can do just because Kwon Tae-ho moves.

Because no one can figure out Kwon Tae-ho’s true intentions.

I could only vaguely guess that there was something.

In the midst of the chaos, only Kwon Tae-ho performed.
