The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 290

Episode 290. Let’s get it together (5)

Chae Kyung-jun and Chae In-ha were sitting in the conference room.

The clock was just about to strike 10:30.

Chae In-ha opened the document with the cell phone in his hand.

The official notice posted on the company intranet was in PDF format, making it easy to read.

It was easier to read the date.

It was today.

The conference room, which should have been bustling with people by now, was very quiet.

That would be the case, since no one attended besides Chae Kyung-jun and Chae In-ha.

This wasn’t a mistake, unless we forgot as a group.

It wasn’t shown on purpose.

-Tok. Tok. Tok.

Chae Kyung-jun slowly tapped the armrest.

I waited for 30 minutes in case someone arrived late.

And now it was a done deal.

No one comes.

There’s probably no use waiting any longer.

Chae In-ha stood next to him and looked down at Chae Kyung-jun.

I couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but one thing was certain.

He is not someone who can be avoided by not showing up at meetings.

I’m not the kind of person who would just sit still and be laughed at.

“Shall we go soon?”

After a while, Chae Kyung-jun stood up.

I glanced at his profile, but he didn’t look angry.

It was an expected reaction.

The fact that not a single person showed up not only meant that they were ignoring Chae Kyung-jun, but also that they had already discussed everything with each other.

Perhaps from now on, the people Chae Kyung-jun will have to deal with will not be the individual targets of the official document.

All of them.

Even though he knew it would be a difficult fight, he didn’t show any signs of nervousness.

As usual, Chae In-ha followed without much worry.

“Where are you going?”

“Well, which one should I choose? Guess!”

Chae Kyung-jun hummed as if he were a child choosing an item.

It really seemed like it didn’t matter where I went.

“Is that because they’re all in the same boat?”

These days, even Chae In-ha often gives his opinion.

In the past, I would just listen and watch from the side, but these days, I even ask Chae Kyung-jun the correct answer to see if what I was thinking was correct.

Chae Kyung-jun nodded.

“Yes. If even just one person had shown up, I might have thought differently, but it was obvious that none of the ten people would show up.”

“I guess they contacted each other and agreed not to go.”

“So it will be the same wherever you go.”

Chae In-ha expressed his opinion again.

“Then how about we just raid the vice president’s office by surprise?”

Among the 10 people listed in this official document, there were no vice presidents or line directors.

That goes without saying.

If you do that, your intentions will become too obvious.

The boss won’t allow it.

He will figure out what Chae Kyung-jun is trying to do and try to hit Chae Kyung-jun instead.

That is also why the 10 people listed on the official document were a mix of factions and non-factions.

So that there is no doubt.

So that Chae Kyung-jun’s intention appears to be ‘cutting out the rotten parts’.

The boss had no doubts.

He would never have dared imagine that Taesung Construction would kick out its owner’s faction.

This is also someone who has not been in Taesung for very long.

That’s why I was able to deceive you.

So, what Chae In-ha is saying is that he is going to take this opportunity to strike the vice president by surprise.

It was a pretty proactive opinion.

“Well, it’s not bad. But we’re outnumbered.”

“So what? The team leader can win.”

Chae Kyung-jun looked blankly at Chae In-ha.

I don’t know if it’s an overestimation or a strong belief.

“Just going and taking it can sometimes be a good method. But wouldn’t it be better to reduce the number of enemies and hit the torso?”

“Are you saying we should start by taking out the weak ones?”

“yes.”

“All right!”

Even though his opinion was rejected, Chae In-ha was not discouraged.

I had absolute faith that if Chae Kyung-jun was like that, then it must be like that.

“Team Leader, where should we go from then?”

Chae Kyung-jun stood in front of the elevator and scanned the floor guide.

“Let’s start with the lowest one. Let’s see how far the beehive will pop out when we touch it.”

Chae Kyung-jun kept pressing the elevator button.

The day has come.

The moment the man and woman entered the office entrance, the technical staff knew that the day had come.

It was only their second time seeing each other, but in the meantime the staff had figured out quite a bit about the two.

Someone started the conversation by saying, “I think I’ve seen that somewhere,” and then someone else found a news article on the Internet.

And then someone went through the company intranet and started scanning posts about the TF team.

“No, he was that famous?”

“I’m telling you, he’s a very popular figure. He’s a big name that the company’s PR team is pushing hard for. Not just for our company, but for the Taesung Group!”

“Did you see that content? It’s about Taesung Department Store opening a branch in Yeouido, a wasteland where there had never been a department store before. Isn’t that the business that Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun proposed?”

“We know this well. You can write a business proposal, but the problem is convincing your superiors.”

“So I guess he convinced them to re-do the construction. I heard that it was Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun who suggested that our company re-do the construction. I guess the rumor has already spread throughout the company.”

“We were the only ones who didn’t know?”

“Everyone in the team that interacts with other departments knows about it. When I asked them, they said they were locked in a room somewhere.”

“It’s true that we are stuck in the attic.”

It was after all the chaos had already passed.

After that, I waited for the TF team to come and cut off the team leader.

But it was faster than I expected.

People felt like cheering as they saw the two standing confidently.

Chae Kyung-jun raised his index finger and put it to his lips.

“Please speak quietly. Is the team leader inside?”

“Yes, you are here.”

“I knew it.”

The staff lowered their heads and answered in whispers.

As Chae Kyung-jun walked towards the team leader’s office, everyone stopped.

Looking at the career, age, and momentum, it seems like the TF team will be far behind.

What on earth are you trying to do?

The employees’ eyes were fixed on Chae Kyung-jun’s back.

Chae Kyung-jun, who had everyone’s attention on him, stood in front of the team leader’s office and kicked the door open with his foot.

-Bang!

“Hey, surprise! What are you doing! Who barged into the team leader’s office without permission?”

The team leader gave a thunderous shout.

“Permission? Do you have my permission to be here?”

The employees’ mouths fell open.

The idea I had earlier is canceled.

At least his momentum matched that of the team leader.

“What? Who are you!”

Chae Kyung-jun clicked his tongue.

“Oh my, this is ridiculous. Shouldn’t you at least investigate who is trying to kill you? You’re being so lax.”

Chae In-ha noticed Chae Kyung-jun’s concept.

People like team leaders are strong and weak and weak and strong.

He is a person who will become stronger and more cruel if he thinks that someone is weaker than him.

So, from the beginning, we go out strongly when we speak well, and we go out harshly when we speak badly.

To seize the initiative.

Even without that, Chae Kyung-jun is likely to be looked down on because he is young.

On top of that, since he even wrote about his career, it was perfect for the technical team leader to trample on him.

As expected, the team leader got up from his seat and started swearing.

“What? Who are you, a young guy, to speak informally to me? Where do you belong?”

“Me? Chae Kyung-jun, head of the special response team directly under the president’s office.”

The team leader’s eyes narrowed.

When he learned the identity of his opponent, it was clear that he judged himself to be higher in rank.

A mean smile appeared on his face.

“Aha, it was you? The one who dared to tell us to come and go?”

“Yes, it’s me. I’m sure it was written in the official document. Come explain. I gave you a chance. The one who didn’t come was you, Team Leader Kwak.”

“What are you saying?”

“The bus has already left. Now I can do as I please.”

The team leader laughed.

“You? What can someone like you do?”

“I can tell the world what you’ve been doing.”

Chae Kyung-jun extended his hand to the side while keeping his gaze fixed on the team leader.

Chae In-ha handed me a tablet PC as if he had been waiting for it.

There were prepared materials in PDF format.

“What do you think might be here?”

If you push the paper in, you can at least guess what cards your opponent has and how much of them.

But this was another unexpected situation.

This is the first time I’ve seen an audit that brings evidence in the form of a PDF file.

It’s the end of the world, it’s the end of the world. The team leader lamented.

“As the saying goes, evidence is something that requires physical evidence. This thing, digital or something. Can’t it all be manipulated?”

“Team Leader Kwak, aren’t you the one who’s stupid?”

Chae Kyung-jun stood up without giving an inch.

“Can’t you see that there are only two of us? And how many people did I invite to the conference room today? Ten? How can two people carry the materials for ten people?”

This may seem a bit odd, but it makes sense when you hear it.

“And, shouldn’t the evidence be scanned and kept? Just tear up and burn the physical evidence, and that’s it?”

The team leader laughed hysterically.

“No, but why has this kid been using informal language all this time? Where did he learn to speak informally?”

“You and I are team leaders just like each other. I politely sent you a letter to establish mutual respect, but weren’t you the one who ignored me first? Why should I respect you when you don’t respect me?”

Although Chae Kyung-jun sometimes speaks harshly and acts rudely, he has never acted this rudely.

Even if the other person was a mere employee lower in rank than him, he always used polite language.

But today, Chae Kyung-jun seemed to have a firm grasp on the concept.

Chae In-ha, who knew her usual appearance, opened his eyes wide, slightly embarrassed.

It seemed like it would be difficult to see Chae Kyung-jun like this again in the future.

“If you’re ready to listen, I’ll respect that. If you don’t like it, feel free to move on.”

“This kid is real! You’re like the same team leader as me. Don’t talk nonsense. Just because we’re team leaders doesn’t mean we’re the same team leaders.”

“Aren’t you the one who’s mistaken? I should have said from the beginning that I was directly under the president’s office. Who said that you and I are the same team leaders?”

The order of ranking towards strong and weak was brutal.

If you look down on someone here, you’re finished.

Chae Kyung-jun was originally a person who was good at fighting under the water.

But now he was rushing forward, his teeth showing openly.

It was so different from usual.

“So, you, who works directly under the president’s office, are superior to me, who is just the head of the technical team?”

“My head is spinning.”

The team leader laughed in vain.

“What if it’s directly under the president’s office? What do you want me to do? Are you going to believe that and install it now? You haven’t been here long, so I guess you don’t know much… … .”

“Then you trusted the CEO and Mrs. Jo Mi-hyeon and installed it.”

Chae Kyung-jun cut her off.

And then the team leader stopped talking as if he was being cut off.

It was the first moment when the tense tug-of-war stopped.

“What are you saying now?”

“Team Leader Kwak, I know you’re part of Mrs. Jo Mi-hyeon’s line. I came here knowing that. Don’t you know what that means?”

My head, which had never been able to memorize my subordinate’s report no matter how hard I tried, was working quickly at this moment.

Come to think of it, it was said to be directly under the president’s office.

Even if he was the leader of a TF team that operated separately, there was no way he could have done something like this without the president’s permission.

Moreover, didn’t they send an official document in advance to declare war?

The boss knows.

Because he also called the boss.

And yet, the TF team came in directly like this.

Why is that?

Chae Kyung-jun returned to his usual tone and spoke calmly.

“The fact that I came here speaks for itself.”

The team leader’s mind flashed back to the phone call he had made to the president.

I was so angry that I called to complain, but the boss got annoyed and hung up on me.

At the time, I thought he was angry because he couldn’t discipline even one subordinate and received a group complaint call, but now that I think about it, that wasn’t the case.

Because after that, when I called, it didn’t connect.

The same goes for other people who were on the list.

They also said that they did not hear any special response from the CEO.

So I thought the CEO had taken care of reorganizing the TF team.

Thinking that would solve the problem, we all got together and didn’t leave the conference room.

But that wasn’t it?

A barking dog doesn’t bark.

Chae Kyung-jun spoke softly, as if he had never raised his voice before.

Still, the voice was clearly embedded in my ears.

“You’ve been abandoned. I don’t care if you get cut off.”

There was a snap, the sound of a rope breaking.
