Episode 285. Secret Instructions (3)

Kwon Tae-ho sighed softly after confirming that the office door was closed.

It’s not that I was dissatisfied with the content of my conversation with Chae Kyung-jun.

Rather, I was satisfied.

I conveyed all the content I wanted to convey, and most importantly, Chae Kyung-jun understood quickly.

He was like a baby bird.

I was always thirsty for opportunities and learning, and I embraced everything I was taught.

In addition, if you teach them one thing, they will try to learn how to obtain it.

I really liked it.

Except for one thing.

-Knock knock.

Kwon Tae-ho lightly tapped the screen of his cell phone.

The LCD screen lit up.

The moment I was about to put my fingerprint on the screen, I hesitated.

This made it awkward to call out gaming friends.

‘He probably knows that too, right?’

Even if I said I didn’t know, it was ambiguous to call them out and tell them.

Actually, it’s not that big of a problem.

It’s not even that noticeable on the outside.

However, sometimes, there was something twisted in Chae Kyung-jun.

For example, just now.

“Shouldn’t this location be where the discard pile should be placed?”

In order for such words to come out, there must first be a mindset that others can be used and thrown away.

Secondly, there must be a subtle worry that one might become the loser.

And this was not the kind of thinking you would see in a young person that age.

‘I don’t know about people who drink a lot of social water and are old.’

I can’t say that there are no discards in this world.

When an accident occurs, the easiest way to deal with it is to set up a scapegoat and blame it on others.

But that is something only someone who has experienced it can think of.

That too, from someone who has personally experienced it.

Is that something an employee in his second year of working at a large corporation could think of?

‘Normally, I would let it go because it’s Chae Kyung-jun, but… … .’

Chae Kyung-jun is a smart friend.

Just because you’re good at studying doesn’t mean you’re smart.

Even among people who are good at studying, there are some who are stupid.

It’s different from work.

Should I say that it has a deep heart?

Given that he is such a friend, it may be natural that he would come up with the idea of ​​a discarded item after much thought.

But Kwon Tae-ho had a sense.

Experience gained over several decades in making important decisions for the company.

An instinctive feeling that comes from there.

When Kwon Tae-ho heard Chae Kyung-jun’s question, he decided that he couldn’t just let it go.

Normally, I would have given hints here and there and let the reader guess, but at this moment, that wasn’t the case.

I felt like if I left it to my own devices, my way of thinking would turn negative.

Especially if you think you might be abandoned, you need to trust now.

Otherwise, it will create a gap of distrust and eventually those negative thoughts will continue endlessly.

So Kwon Tae-ho deliberately did not speak indirectly.

Explained directly.

That too, computationally.

Chae Kyung-jun is a friend who knows how to distinguish between emotions and reason.

I would trust rational calculations more than emotional appeals.

Even if you yourself were to hear someone say, “Our company doesn’t do that,” you wouldn’t believe it.

Kwon Tae-ho’s prediction was right.

Because I was able to understand it clearly as the logical reason was explained, as if showing the scale’s markings.

It went well.

This time.

‘He is definitely the right person.’

This personality is especially suited to positions that require seeing the big picture and making calculations.

So, while calculating various cases, I might have even thought about discarding the card.

You could think of it that way and move on.

‘But what is that hostility?’

If that were the only thing, Kwon Tae-ho wouldn’t have been that worried.

Fear and anger were vaguely felt in Chae Kyung-jun’s words.

That was getting on Kwon Tae-ho’s nerves.

-Knock knock.

Again, Kwon Tae-ho tapped the LCD screen.

The screen lit up and then went completely black.

The urge to ask my gaming friend about something he knew about him rose and then subsided.

Before listening to other people’s opinions, you must first be sure of your own standards.

Kwon Tae-ho calmly organized detailed information about the person named Chae Kyung-jun in his head.

Because I didn’t want to make a hasty judgment.

‘Your childhood must have been unfortunate.’

Because the one who paid my grandmother’s hospital bills was Kwon Tae-ho.

Since both of my parents were able to work, I was not eligible for basic livelihood security.

But it was easy to infer that his family circumstances were not very good.

Of course, that alone doesn’t make it grow like that.

Something must have happened.

Something important that would have a profound impact on the formation of his values.

‘Is it dangerous?’

Kwon Tae-ho thought about it so much that it seemed excessive.

Other employees wouldn’t do this.

Chae Kyung-jun was a talented person whom he had decided to nurture.

There are countless employees who have worked hand in hand with Kwon Tae-ho, but there is no one he has personally trained.

So to speak, he is no different from the first disciple.

Even the most cool-headed Kwon Tae-ho couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Besides, Kwon Tae-ho knows very well what happens when you don’t see people as people.

Some actions of decision makers sometimes kill people.

Just as he was.

-Whoosh.

It was still vivid in my mind.

Even though more than 20 years have already passed.

Kwon Tae-ho’s eyes darkened.

He was looking down, but his eyes weren’t on his phone.

“Gyaaaah!”

“Fire! You set yourself on fire!”

“Eww!”

The IMF was a typhoon so strong that it even caused large corporations like Taesung to falter.

That was the only way to survive.

Restructuring.

Kwon Tae-ho, who had been eyeing the chairman’s position while working as an accounting manager at a subsidiary, rose to prominence one after another.

A merciless scalpel cut through every part of Taeseong.

A brutal restructuring.

At first, there was enormous opposition.

At that time, Kwon Tae-ho was a lucky guy who enjoyed the chairman’s favor and rose to fame.

His restructuring plan was bold and certain.

As one large company of similar size to Taesung collapsed, voices of opposition also died down.

The restructuring carried out according to Kwon Tae-ho’s will transformed Taesung into a new company.

But the side effects were also enormous.

It’s natural for blood to flow when cutting off a limb.

The problem is that the blood belonged to powerless people.

The day after the restructuring, which was like a bloodbath, was announced, a man set himself on fire in front of the company’s headquarters.

He deliberately chose a route to work where there were a lot of people watching and left all kinds of curses towards Kwon Tae-ho and Tae-seong.

“You killed them! Is it murder if you kill them with a knife? You are murderers who killed tens of thousands of people! You guys who sit in those high places and sign papers! Never forget what you did!”

I couldn’t ignore it because it was a voice that came from the heart.

Among the many employees watching him on his way to work was Kwon Tae-ho.

There was something sticky in his howl.

Kwon Tae-ho, who could not ignore it as simple malice, stood still as if nailed to the spot.

And from beginning to end.

I watched the man pouring the gasoline and pulling the lighter without missing a single moment.

It was a cruel scene, but I couldn’t look away.

No, you shouldn’t turn away.

‘This is the result of what I did. I can’t avoid it. I have to watch it.’

The blood vessels in his wide-open eyes burst and his legs trembled.

At that moment, I realized.

What do the numbers you rolled on the paper mean?

What was it that was thrown away for the sake of success and ambition?

It was literally life.

Saying you can’t help it is not an excuse.

It is true that this was the only way to save Taeseong.

That doesn’t mean the sacrifices of these people are justified.

You shouldn’t make excuses.

It shouldn’t be beautified either.

Kwon Tae-ho watched the man’s end, holding on to his dizzy mind several times.

Watching people rushing out of the building with fire extinguishers to put out the fire.

Kwon Tae-ho fainted.

A few days later, I heard that the police investigation into the case was over and a funeral was held.

Kwon Tae-ho went to the man’s funeral as if he was being dragged with heavy feet.

There was no extravagant thought of apology.

Just to face what he had done.

If a stone is flying at you, you have to hit it.

With that in mind, I entered the funeral home and there was a little kid sitting there.

Feeling strange, I stopped the person who was delivering food and asked him.

“Oh, well. After that happened, the wife also hung herself. Oh, what’s wrong with that poor thing being left alone? Tsk tsk tsk.”

Kwon Tae-ho stumbled out of the funeral home.

It felt like the floor was shaking.

Kwon Tae-ho stumbled out of the funeral home.

I don’t even remember how I got back to work.

However, from the news that continues day after day, we can see that there are more than one or two houses like that.

It was a time when companies were collapsing on an unprecedented scale, and even large corporations were struggling.

The death of an individual has become so rare that it hardly even makes news.

“You saved this company. Shouldn’t you take responsibility for their deaths by working hard?”

Someone who was Kwon Tae-ho’s superior at the time said so.

He comforted Kwon Tae-ho, saying that he couldn’t even remember his name now and that there was nothing he could do.

Those hypocritical words made me swear.

responsibility?

Who can be responsible for one’s life?

You think I can pay it back by working hard?

Is that supposed to be a reward and consolation to them?

A time when there was no time to rest or vacation.

Kwon Tae-ho, who was forcing himself to work while holding onto his shattered mentality, had a gut feeling.

I will never forget that memory until the day I die.

-Wooduk.

I guess I was clenching my fist without realizing it.

The fingernails dug into the palms of my hands, leaving deep marks.

Thanks to that pain, Kwon Tae-ho was able to return from vivid memories.

Kwon Tae-ho didn’t tap his phone this time.

‘I have no regrets.’

Regret is also a luxurious emotion.

But the feeling of guilt is something you have to carry with you for the rest of your life.

You must not forget.

That was the only thing Kwon Tae-ho could do.

‘and…….’

One time is enough for that horrible experience.

There is no need for the younger generation to suffer such pain in this peaceful era.

The standard for brutality was just right for a fight between brothers.

Especially to Chae Kyung-jun.

‘He’s the kind of guy who can go all the way.’

If Chae Kyung-jun had been born a little earlier and entered the company at the same time as me.

Chae Kyung-jun may have done the same thing.

To that extent, Chae Kyung-jun was a person who could separate emotions and reason.

It’s a really good ability, but it’s also dangerous.

-Talk.

Kwon Tae-ho tapped the desk once with his fingertips.

This time, rather than worrying about whether or not to invite a gaming buddy, I was trying to organize my thoughts.

Kwon Tae-ho’s worries are over.

In the end, you have to catch it yourself.

If it goes all the way, you can stop it before it happens, and if it goes down the wrong path, you can correct it.

No, you have to do that.

In the future, Chae Kyung-jun will have more authority and sometimes experience trampling on his opponents.

It should be an extension of a match where life and death do not come and go.

Kwon Tae-ho will make it happen.

Unlike then, I have the strength to do that now.

As I came to a conclusion, my thinking became clearer.

Kwon Tae-ho thought as he took out the payment documents he had been putting aside.

How should we handle Chae Kyung-jun in the future?

How much will it grow?

I was curious to see how they would resolve the issue if thrown at them.

‘As soon as I get back, I’ll be thinking about shaking up Taesung Construction. When I’m done, Chae On-ik will move, so I can just throw him over there.’

The plan in Kwon Tae-ho’s head was gradually taking shape.

Little by little the picture was becoming clearer.
