The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 282



Only Noblemtl

Episode 282. The Aftermath (4)

The construction company attendees who had been huddled together made sullen expressions as they watched Tak Jae-min hurriedly disappear into the parking lot.

“That guy really doesn’t care about us.”

“Why would the heir apparent of the most successful conglomerate in the country deal with scum like us? He must be busy with his work.”

They mocked Tak Jae-min, who didn’t even give them a glance.

Yes, not greeting Tak Jae-min first was ignoring him.

Because he bowed down to the attendee from Taesung Construction, a rival company, and even to the team leader in front of him.

But that’s that and this is this.

When Tak Jae-min left without even giving her a glance, she became upset.

In a word, it’s crooked.

“If you go there, at least say hello… … .”

It’s normal for things to get worse as you get older.

As the atmosphere worsened, Taesung Construction Manager became anxious.

They had already been waiting outside in the cold for quite some time.

I’ve smoked cigarettes enough already.

Since they are people with some experience, the story continues without stopping.

Everyone’s patience is running out.

‘No, why isn’t it coming out?’

The manager anxiously sent a text message to Chae Kyung-jun.

However, Chae Kyung-jun showed no signs of coming out.

How long has it been since Tak Jae-min left?

Construction companies are also starting to get excited.

“Isn’t this something?”

“Should I go in?”

The manager also began to feel worried.

Now that I think about it, it felt like Tak Jae-min left a bit too quickly.

Was there some kind of fight inside?

“No, Director Tak Jae-min isn’t that stupid.”

“There may have been some verbal quarrel, but is there really any chance there was a physical fight?”

“Besides, there are many eyes watching inside.”

“Then why isn’t it coming out?”

While I was debating whether or not to go in, a man and a woman came out.

The manager sighed in relief more than anyone else.

‘You know people are waiting. Come out quickly.’

The manager grumbled and quickly approached me and whispered.

“You all have waited for a long time.”

“yes.”

Although his words were cut off in a hurry, Chae Kyung-jun nodded.

The manager stepped back and cleared the way.

That’s why smart guys are easy to deal with.

Because with just one word, I can already guess the situation.

These are the people who stayed behind just to see Chae Kyung-jun.

I had to appease them.

Since I’ve been waiting for a long time, I should have thought about sending at least one piece of information.

But the manager didn’t say anything about it.

If Chae Kyung-jun had been an ordinary second-year student, or if Chae In-ha had been in that position, he would have stuck behind him and explained everything in detail.

However, Chae Kyung-jun must have already made all the decisions in his head.

Even what to say and what to hold and send.

It is not enough to say that there is work.

Being smart alone doesn’t make this kind of judgment.

Taesung is a smart guy, so he’s widely known.

There are so many that even capable people can stumble.

Among them, Chae Kyung-jun stood out.

‘I know what you mean by ‘a military school is a school of letters.’

Even from a distance, you can probably easily find Chae Kyung-jun.

Even if you gather hundreds or thousands of Taesung employees, they will all only look at Chae Kyung-jun.

He no longer had to seek opportunity.

Because it was a shining stone that everyone recognized.

“Have you kept me waiting? Sorry. I just needed some time to gather my thoughts.”

Chae Kyung-jun skillfully apologized for being late.

Everyone would understand while talking to Tak Jae-min, but the reason I was hesitant even after Tak Jae-min left was because it was something that needed explaining.

And that one word immediately aroused my curiosity.

“It seems like you had a pretty in-depth conversation with Director Tak Jae-min.”

They also vaguely realized Chae Kyung-jun’s specialness.

That guy needed time to talk to Tak Jae-min separately and gather his thoughts?

There must have been some important conversation going on.

Chae Kyung-jun looked around for no reason and then said, pretending to be serious.

“It seems like the brothers’ war is about to begin.”

“yes?”

“What did you say?”

The attendees were in an uproar.

It is well known that the fight for succession in the Future Group is fierce.

But up until now, it has been more of a gentlemanly duel with attacks and defenses going back and forth rather than a war.

They would interfere with each other and attack each other, but they never got into bloody, biting dog fights.

That’s something you do only when you’re really at the end of your rope.

Now, both sides were gradually checking each other’s strength and engaging in a war of attrition to expand their power.

But are you two really going to fight?

It was clear that this would be a major incident that would shake the entire political and business world.

“No, but why did you think that? Of course, Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun must have seen and felt it himself… … .”

It was hard to believe that there was a sudden sibling conflict.

Tak Jae-min’s cautious personality is well known, so he has avoided all-out war until now.

Tak Hee-min would never engage in a bloody dogfight unless he had an overwhelming advantage in power.

If you’re that stupid, you shouldn’t have even been considered as a successor in the first place.

Even though no one was looking, Chae Kyung-jun glanced around.

It was an intentional act.

It is a gesture that tells a story that is that important.

“Isn’t it a well-known fact that Vice President Tak Hee-min is the one who is in charge of building the future this time?”

“Yes, well… … .”

The attendees nodded their heads as it was a publicly known fact.

“After that, Vice President Tak Hee-min came to see me.”

The manager looked at Chae Kyung-jun with his eyes wide open.

Tak Hee-min is the successor to a competitor.

In a public setting, it may be okay, but even meeting someone in private can be enough to find fault with them.

This industry also has scouts and pluckers.

Chae Kyung-jun says he has no intention of moving from Taeseong for personal reasons, but other people don’t know that.

I am revealing to myself facts that could come back to bite me if I do it wrong.

The manager’s eyes wavered and he turned to Chae In-ha behind him.

And I was surprised.

The youngest daughter of the Taesung family was watching Chae Kyung-jun with eyes full of faith, without wavering at all.

The manager suddenly realized.

I don’t know much about politics.

But at least Chae In-ha is watching everything and tolerating it.

As long as there is a lot of trust in him, Chae In-ha will protect Chae Kyung-jun no matter what happens.

Whoever the scheme was, it was clear that they had attached Chae In-ha to use her as a buffer and a means of surveillance.

Looking at the situation, it seems closer to the latter.

Who in Taesungga would rebel against the decision of the owner family?

Even the chairman would listen to his youngest daughter, whom he cherishes, at least once.

While the manager nodded inwardly, Chae In-ha was thinking hard.

Chae Kyung-jun is moving forward more and more.

So he had to run even harder.

Even in a situation like the present, we cannot simply watch.

Because I have no intention of standing behind him forever.

At least I should have been able to figure out why Chae Kyung-jun was saying that.

‘Can I tell other companies that I met Tak Hee-min? If I do it wrong, it could be considered collusion.’

But soon, the conversation Chae Kyung-jun had earlier came to mind.

“There’s no way I would lie about something you’d know if you checked.”

And it was clearly confirmed by Chae In-ha himself.

There are said to be many witnesses.

‘Wait a minute, witness!’

That’s right.

There are so many people who saw Tak Hee-min and Chae Kyung-jun meet.

It’s impossible to hide it, but hiding it would look even stranger.

‘Then it’s better to reveal it yourself before others point it out.’

Cards that are not turned over may end up in someone else’s hand.

Rather, it was clear that he was trying to show his honesty by revealing it.

‘That won’t be the only thing.’

The Chae Kyung-jun I know is someone who uses multiple devices at once in a water fight.

“It was tough, but both sides wanted to maintain the line.”

Now I understand what Chae Kyung-jun said.

There are many witnesses to meeting Tak Jae-min today.

Soon, rumors will spread through the business world that Tak Hee-min and Tak Jae-min met with a team leader from a rival company.

Naturally, attention will be drawn to Chae Kyung-jun.

Even though they don’t want it, they can’t give it to someone else, so they’ll both want to maintain their relationship with Chae Kyung-jun, but at the same time, they won’t be able to mess with Chae Kyung-jun.

If we do that, it will be difficult if Chae Kyung-jun sticks to the opposite side.

Chae Kyung-jun is setting up a safety device.

“What on earth did Vice President Tak Hee-min talk about?”

“He asked me to hold his hand.”

“yes?”

The gathered attendees held their breath and looked at each other’s faces.

This guy can’t be that stupid.

You’re revealing this to them?

But Chae Kyung-jun’s words did not end there.

“Of course, we didn’t hold hands. That’s why I told Director Tak Jae-min today. There was no need to get in the middle.”

“Oh, well done. Well done. So?”

“Director Tak Jae-min’s face changed completely. He looked quite anxious.”

The faces of the attendees became serious.

“Even if it doesn’t reach the level of sibling feud, the relationship between the two is rapidly deteriorating.”

“There will be some bumps in the road.”

The construction company attendees are all head of headquarters and department heads.

There was no one who didn’t know what Chae Kyung-jun did today.

Discord.

While inducing Tak Jae-min and Tak Hee-min to fight, he retreated to a safe zone.

Even though I was sticking my tongue out at Chae Kyung-jun, I wanted to quickly relay this news to headquarters.

“It was nice meeting you today. I hope to see you again sometime in the future.”

“Team Leader, we will be going now. Stay healthy.”

I greeted them one by one.

Chae Kyung-jun didn’t catch them either.

“It’s cold, so please go in quickly. And say hello to the boss.”

“Yes, I will definitely pass it on to you.”

People began to disperse in twos and threes, carrying the gifts that Chae Kyung-jun had given them.

I left him a polite greeting until the end.

After everyone had disappeared, Chae In-ha asked what he had been thinking about the whole time.

“You lied about Vice President Tak Hee-min, so why did you tell the truth about your conversation with Director Tak Jae-min?”

It was a lie that Tak Hee-min asked me to hold his hand.

But I only told the truth about Tak Jae-min.

I know because Chae In-ha heard it right behind me.

If you’re going to sow discord and lie, wouldn’t it be even more effective if you exaggerate the story about Tak Jae-min?

Chae Kyung-jun nodded.

“I thought I’d get caught later. If Vice President Tak Hee-min found out that I was joking, he’d probably laugh at me. That’s because when we parted ways, he told me not to disappoint him.”

“Then what about Director Tak Jae-min?”

“He is cautious and suspicious. If it is discovered that I lied to him, he will never trust me again. It is difficult to gain the trust of a cautious person. So it is better to tell him only the truth.”

Chae In-ha let out an exclamation of “Ah.”

The three of them walked slowly to the parking lot.

The cars that the attendees had already arrived in were all gone and the place was deserted.

When Chae In-ha took the wheel and Chae Kyung-jun sat in the passenger seat, the manager in the back seat felt extremely uncomfortable.

Even though it is correct in terms of rank.

The manager asked, fidgeting.

“But why did you tell the construction companies that the two of you would fight? No one knows whether you will actually fight or not. If you fight, both of you will lose, so why would you want to go to an all-out war?”

The answer came from Chae In-ha.

“I set the stage for them to fight. I created the atmosphere so that if Tak Jae-min and Tak Hee-min were to fall apart, they would reconcile and end it on their own. If rumors spread throughout the business world, it wouldn’t be easy to reconcile. Right?”

The last question was for Chae Kyung-jun.

Chae Kyung-jun nodded and smiled softly.

There was a look of admiration in his eyes.

“You understand. That’s right. Tak Hee-min will have to pay the price for using me.”

Chae Kyung-jun said while putting on his seatbelt.

“Now that the mood has been set, we can just push forward slowly. We can just watch the fight from across the river.”

Chae Kyung-jun looked extremely excited.
