Episode 283. Secret Instructions (1)

Kwon Tae-ho took advantage of the intermission to play a game on his phone.

Originally I wasn’t good at the game, but now I’ve gotten used to it and have become a high level player.

When I first started out, I just picked this game because of its well-made community features.

The fact that it is a mobile game and can be accessed anytime, anywhere also played a part.

If you write in the guestbook, your friends will also be notified.

Chat content will disappear when you turn the game off and on.

Since it was a game about raising a ranch, it wouldn’t have been strange if someone had found out.

Even the world’s greatest Kwon Tae-ho might look at this game with new eyes.

[I left a message in the guestbook.]

Kwon Tae-ho left a meaningless greeting in his friend’s guestbook.

On top of that, there was a guestbook with daily entries that had not been erased yet.

This means that calls have been increasing in frequency lately.

That was understandable.

Because Kwon Tae-ho and his gaming friend are moving secretly.

It’s still in the sketch stage, but if it’s completed, I could gain quite a bit.

However, since it was a long-term plan, nothing could be predicted at this point.

Because the situation was moving fluidly.

It was the same with this incident.

-How’s the movement?

As soon as I logged in, my gaming buddy started asking me questions right away.

It seems like he was quite curious.

However, because he was isolated, it was difficult to obtain quick and accurate information.

Although his connections were not completely severed, information coming through them needed to be verified.

Where can you find an information source as good as Kwon Tae-ho?

=Things didn’t go as expected.

-What went wrong?

The other person’s anxious look was vivid.

Kwon Tae-ho typed leisurely, his lips twitching.

=Both Tak Jae-min and Tak Hee-min have created a connection.

-oh?

Before Kwon Tae-ho could even type, a chat message from an impatient opponent came flying in first.

-What are you talking about? Explain.

It seemed like they just sent it because they didn’t even have time to convert it to special characters.

=They started a fight between Tak Jae-min and Tak Hee-min. But instead of taking sides, they drew a line with both sides.

-Are you saying that you didn’t get in the middle and just left?

=Yes.

The opponent quickly understood the situation.

-Kkkkkkkkkkk Why do you think your skills have improved?

It seemed as if I could hear the other person’s giggling voice.

In fact, their original plan was a bit simpler.

In other words, expectations were low.

When I heard the news that Chae Kyung-jun met Tak Hee-min, I thought it was good timing.

We are bound to run into the Future Group someday.

It was an unavoidable fight as long as the chairman had the will to surpass the future.

If that is the Chairman’s will, it is Kwon Tae-ho’s role to prepare.

Chae Kyung-jun was also involved in that plan.

Kwon Tae-ho doesn’t teach as kindly as a teacher.

Just throw it out there and see.

Because you can learn more from one practical experience than from a hundred words.

And Chae Kyung-jun was a person who learned through practice.

That skill is now shining.

=I thought it was a good thing if I just figured out what kind of person the other person was.

If you are going to fight in the future, it is better to know about your opponent.

At least if you know what their personality is like, you can narrow down your choices.

That’s why Kwon Tae-ho wanted to let Chae Kyung-jun experience both.

Tak Jae-min and Tak Hee-min have completely opposite personalities.

Tak Jae-min is said to be cautious, but in reality he is suspicious and cautious.

Tak Hee-min is a systematic and shameless man who exploits others.

He truly had the personality of a son of the CEO of Mirae Group.

I’ve explained both of them, but it’s best to experience them yourself.

So I tried to arrange the meeting as naturally as possible.

But Chae Kyung-jun did better than I expected.

=You didn’t notice that we were behind you, did you?

When Kwon Tae-ho asked just in case, his gaming friend quickly entered the chat.

-No, no. Tak Jae-min isn’t that kind of idiot.

Tak Jae-min’s joining hands with someone from Taesung Group could raise suspicions of collusion.

Especially if Tak Hee-min finds out, he will try to use it in some way.

Although Tak Jae-min is being pushed out by Tak Hee-min, he is still competing for the position of successor to the Mirae Group.

Besides, there was no way that Tak Jae-min, who had such a cautious personality, would have discovered the existence of his collaborator.

Especially if that collaborator is part of a competitor.

=Then it means that you thought about it yourself and acted that way.

It wasn’t even Kwon Tae-ho who gave the hint.

He instigated a fight between brothers based solely on his own judgment of the situation and then got out of it.

Yet both sides maintained friendly relations.

No one made an enemy.

Of course, anyone with a bit of brain power can come up with such an ideal plan.

But actually producing results is another matter.

I think anyone can do it.

It’s the ability to make it a reality.

-It’s like you’ve read our intentions.

=That means a lot of thought went into it.

The field of vision has become wider.

We can now delve deeper into the situation and make calculations more efficiently than before.

-It was worth it for you to turn it out.

=I’m glad that I feel like I’ve grown as much as I’ve experienced.

Kwon Tae-ho smiled happily.

Growth was faster than expected.

Last year I learned how to take charge of a project and take the initiative, but this year I’m learning that there is another way.

-Was the construction company incident the first time you drew a picture?

=It’s much more advanced now than it was then. I finished the calculations and derived it just by talking to Tak Jae-min and Tak Hee-min.

The chat paused for a moment.

It was clear that the other person was thinking about something.

And Kwon Tae-ho seemed to know what his gaming friend was thinking.

-Do you think it would be okay to pull a little?

=Yes.

The two shared a glance and reached a silent agreement through the chat window.

-When is the real starting point?

=It depends on how they do it. I don’t think it will take that long.

-I think so too.

Tak Jae-min will definitely move.

Then Tak Hee-min won’t be able to just sit still either.

Before the two of them start biting and fighting, something is definitely going on underwater.

That was when Taesung also started to move.

Of course, Kwon Tae-ho doesn’t move himself.

Because he stands out so much.

So Chae Kyung-jun was the perfect fit.

He’s a character who was originally turned outside, so it wouldn’t be strange to throw him anywhere.

He is a person who is known to cause trouble so much that it wouldn’t be strange to stick his head in anywhere.

It could also give Chae Kyung-jun some experience.

=It’s almost time to go. I’ll be going now.

-He tells me to come say hello sometimes. He hasn’t come lately.

=You’re busy. When will you have time to go there?

-still.

=Then let’s go. ㅃ2

-???

Leaving his gaming friend’s urgent question mark behind, Kwon Tae-ho turned off the game.

I put my phone down and closed my eyes for a moment, then I heard the knock I had been waiting for.

“Come in.”

Now a familiar young man came in and bowed his head.

* * *

I feel like I’ve been seeing Kwon Tae-ho a lot lately.

I had such useless thoughts as I looked at Kwon Tae-ho sitting there.

This time, I didn’t come here because I had something to do.

It was a call from Kwon Tae-ho.

Probably to hear a report about meeting Tak Jae-min and Tak Hee-min.

It wouldn’t be strange if it got into Kwon Tae-ho’s ears.

We didn’t meet secretly and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

I was just curious what advice Kwon Tae-ho would give.

When I called you last time, you explained about the two brothers of the Mirae Group, and then I met them in person and experienced it myself.

If you called me on purpose, it would be because there is information I need to know.

So is there a backstory I don’t know about?

I stood still and waited for Kwon Tae-ho to speak.

“I heard that you won the Noryangjin redevelopment project.”

The beginning was light.

I thought about speaking humbly, but I decided not to because I thought it would be pointless to show pretense in front of Kwon Tae-ho.

“Honestly, I thought it would be easy. But Tak Jae-min is not an easy person.”

Kwon Tae-ho asked as if he had been waiting for those words.

“It must have been a short fight, but what did you feel?”

I took a moment to choose my words.

Because it wasn’t a word you could say in front of your boss.

But I couldn’t think of a better word to describe him.

I had no choice but to blurt it out under Kwon Tae-ho’s urging gaze.

“I’m a loser who’s suffering from an inferiority complex.”

“is it so.”

Although his vocabulary was poor, Kwon Tae-ho agreed.

This means that the Tak Jae-min he identified is also the same.

I let out a sigh of relief inside.

“Have you ever thought that it would be dangerous to have two partners, Tak Jae-min and Tak Hee-min?”

It’s not that I haven’t done it.

Of course it’s dangerous.

“But you can get more than that. When the gains and losses are clear, the math is easy.”

Kwon Tae-ho nodded as if he understood.

Needless to say, the loss when holding one hand is great.

There is no guarantee that you will have a solid ally, but there will always be a solid enemy.

Of course, there are losses when both sides maintain the line.

Because if you’re not careful, you could end up turning both sides into enemies.

“The reason I support Chae Kyung-jun’s decision is because it is the result of careful consideration of the pros and cons and calculations. Both options have risks. But Chae Kyung-jun didn’t make his choice based on emotions, right?”

“Yes. I chose the one that was clearly more profitable.”

“In what way did you see it as beneficial?”

“If we turn one side into an enemy, we will inevitably get involved in a sibling fight. But there is no reason for us to get involved in someone else’s family feud. Mirae is Taesung’s enemy. In short, both Tak Jaemin and Tak Heemin are opponents that must be stepped on. The two of them should fight on their own, and we should just open some popcorn.”

“Of course, if the intentions are right, we could join forces, right?”

“It was important to give that kind of space.”

Since I have opened the opportunity for both sides to join hands, neither of them can hastily turn me into an enemy.

In a word, it is neutral diplomacy.

It was a tightrope walk, but I was confident.

Because I’m not doing it alone.

I am Taesungman and behind me is Kwon Taeho.

I have already felt several times how solid it is.

Kwon Tae-ho nodded and said.

“Well done.”

I chuckled.

Even though I only wanted to show my rational side in front of my role model, I couldn’t hide my smile.

It feels good to receive compliments from a role model no matter how many times you receive them.

“I called you today because I thought Chae Kyung-jun would be curious about the current mood.”

This is what we’ve been waiting for.

I pricked up my ears.

“When something happens, it’s a flyer that immediately starts to spread. Since owner risk affects stock prices, they cover all kinds of gossip. They cover everything from a third-generation chaebol who went on a drug party to someone hitting an employee.”

I had a feeling what Kwon Tae-ho was trying to say.

The flyer has appeared.

“Thanks to Chae Kyung-jun setting the stage, the two are now in a position to fight. He’s pushing them from behind. They’re going to clash sooner or later.”

“Is there any benefit to be gained from it?”

Kwon Tae-ho wouldn’t miss this board.

I did it on my own, but it was definitely an opportunity.

“Before that, Chae On-ik will move first.”

Why on earth is Chae On-ik here?

After thinking for a moment, I realized what Kwon Tae-ho was saying.

“Is it possible that Executive Director Chae On-ik is trying to hit Vice Chairman Chae Tae-ik?”

“It’s more than that.”

If it’s more than that, then what the heck… … .

“ah.”

I asked with a feeling of bewilderment.

“Is it possible that Managing Director Chae On-ik is joining hands with that person?”

Even though no one was listening, my voice lowered without me realizing it.

Kwon Tae-ho nodded silently.

“oh my god…….”

All kinds of thoughts came to mind.

Is it Tak Jae-min or Tak Hee-min?

You know what it means to join hands with your competitors.

But did he really want the position of successor so much that he would join hands with me?

So then how does Chae On-ik move?

As I was rolling my eyes, Kwon Tae-ho said.

“Here’s what you need to know. Chae On-ik will make his move sooner or later, and we’ll be sending Chae Kyung-jun to deal with it.”

“What do you want to do?”

“Mr. Chae Kyung-jun, do as you wish.”

I was embarrassed.

Does that mean you’re leaving it up to me to decide whether I help Chae On-ik or stop him?

No, by then we’ll be weighing the pros and cons again.

If Chae On-ik is better than Chae Tae-ik, then Chae Tae-ik may be pushed out.

If it is beneficial to the company, then it can be done.

At that time, I will be the one observing them from the front line.

So, I mean, I’ll leave it up to my own judgment first.

Kwon Tae-ho knocked on the desk.

Again I focused on him.

“So, let me remind you of one thing.”

Kwon Tae-ho spoke softly.

“What’s going on with the plan to tear down Taesung Construction?”

What he was referring to was a secret instruction from the Chairman.
