The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 298



Only Noblemtl

Episode 298. The Real Prey (6)

Chae In-ha looked at Jo Mi-hyeon, who was standing quietly by the window.

The desire to not let go of what I had was reflected as transparently as that window.

In fact, it was because of his own greed that he made his son, Chae Tae-ik, his successor.

Because he is not qualified to become the president.

He wants to achieve that desire through his son.

Asking Jo Mi-hyeon to give up what she had was an impossible demand.

At least that was the case until just now.

“That guy… … .”

Anger appeared on Jo Mi-hyeon’s face.

Suddenly, that thought occurred to me.

Couldn’t Chae Kyung-jun have predicted that the vice president would act like that?

No, Chae Kyung-jun knew well.

I deliberately spoke to Jo Mi-hyeon on speakerphone in the presence of the vice president, and I did not even try to shake off the vice president’s request to come here.

Even though I saw the vice president’s car speeding up, I didn’t tell him to follow me.

Even after arriving, he did not deal with the vice president properly.

Rather, he deliberately provoked Jo Mi-hyeon to make the vice president anxious.

‘no way…….’

What if Chae Kyung-jun incited the vice president?

The effects were clearly visible.

Chae Kyung-jun was showing it to Jo Mi-hyeon through the vice president.

The power you have is actually insignificant.

What I thought I had so much in my hands that I couldn’t put it down was actually just a handful.

Jo Mi-hyeon has never directly managed a company.

I didn’t even directly choose the person who would go.

I just left it up to the president and vice president.

That alone has done the company well so far.

Jo Mi-hyeon’s negotiation with the chairman to have her son become her successor was enough to demonstrate her power.

But it was false charisma.

The chairman simply did not like the strife between brothers.

I was just worried that Taesung would be torn to pieces.

Among the children of the chairman at the time, the one most suitable to become successor was Chae Tae-ik.

Since their goals were the same, an agreement was reached.

Jo Mi-hyeon was mistaken in thinking that it was her own influence.

Chae Kyung-jun is showing that illusion to Jo Mi-hyeon.

‘You are not the Vice President’s power, but an obstacle. Choose. Will you protect that pitiful power, or will you serve the Vice President as you originally wanted?’

Although he didn’t say anything, I could feel Chae Kyung-jun’s intentions.

If Chae Kyung-jun had planned all of this in advance.

If even the Vice President’s actions were within Chae Kyung-jun’s expectations.

How far did he read?

“I see. So this is what Team Leader Chae was aiming for.”

Jo Mi-hyeon seemed to have noticed it too.

Now Chae Kyung-jun is helping Jo Mi-hyeon put down what she has.

Jo Mi-hyeon laughed in vain.

“Am I that much of a bother?”

I could tell it was the last question.

It was difficult to accept, so I just asked again to confirm.

“Yes. For the sake of Taesung and the Vice Chairman, Madam, you must step down.”

“Even if I have to give up my company?”

“Taesung Construction belongs to Taesung. And Taesung will belong to the Vice Chairman in the future.”

After all, things will go round and round and eventually turn out the way Jo Mi-hyeon wants.

That’s what it meant.

Jo Mi-hyeon muttered complicatedly.

“Yes, my father’s company is no more. All that remains is the name Taesung.”

There was sadness in his voice.

For Jo Mi-hyeon, the construction of Taesung was everything.

The moment she puts it down, Jo Mi-hyeon becomes nothing.

Chae Kyung-jun spoke comfortingly, knowing that.

“You are only giving up real power, but everything will remain the same. The friendly stake that maintains Taesung Construction will remain the same. Nothing will change. The vice chairman will just stand on his own.”

“They say that children become independent from their parents one day.”

Jo Mi-hyeon sat down on the sofa again.

He said, pouring tea into an empty cup.

“Tell the chairman. Taesung Construction will go to Taesung as you wish. You can eat it roasted or boiled as you wish.”

Chae Kyung-jun smiled bitterly.

Although he said it wasn’t important earlier, he noticed who Chae Kyung-jun was following.

In fact, it was difficult for Chae Kyung-jun to do it on his own.

As soon as the work was over, Chae Kyung-jun finally turned his gaze to the car.

As soon as I took a sip, my throat started burning and I emptied the glass.

Jo Mi-hyeon asked, fiddling with her teacup.

“But what will happen to the CEO in this case? Will he fire the CEO and replace him with a professional manager?”

Chae Kyung-jun answered while pouring tea into an empty cup.

“No. I think the company will be shaken if we cut off even the CEO. The CEO has In-ha and me, so it’s okay. Surely he wouldn’t be so stupid as to have other thoughts in front of us.”

Jo Mi-hyeon looked at the two alternately.

“Well, if he was such a great person, he wouldn’t have been in the position of president until now.”

Can’t the person who cut out even Jo Mi-hyeon from the vice president be called the president?

The boss will know too.

That Chae Kyung-jun saved her life.

Plus, there’s Chae In-ha.

Although Chae In-ha herself has no authority, when she goes home, her father, who she sees and talks to, is the chairman.

If the president is caught doing something stupid, it is immediately reported to the chairman.

Maybe the president will wake up and buy a body in the future.

“I don’t want to see you. Let’s go quickly.”

As we finished drinking, Jo Mi-hyeon waved her hand.

The two politely greeted each other and went out.

The vice president, who was very drunk, glared at the two and then hurriedly went inside the house.

Looking at the face of the vice president who was passing by, it seemed like he had made a firm resolution.

But I guess it would be like reading sutras to a deaf ear to Jo Mi-hyeon, who has already let go.

Sure enough, when I peeked through the window in the yard, Jo Mi-hyeon wasn’t even looking at me, as if she was annoyed.

The two left the house, leaving behind the vice president who was talking passionately about something and Jo Mi-hyeon who was drinking tea without listening.

“The vice president must have done something to the company. Let’s go a little faster this time.”

“yes.”

The two hurried back to the company.

* * *

The president was shocked to hear that an emergency board meeting was being held.

On the one hand, I also thought, “It was meant to be.”

Because the vice president has connections.

‘That’s why I tried to slowly lose strength.’

The president lamented.

So why did Chae Kyung-jun suddenly do something like that… …!

He was wandering around the president’s office, unable to even sit down, and as soon as someone knocked on the door, he shouted.

“Come in!”

It didn’t matter who it was.

Whether it’s Chae Kyung-jun, the vice president, or another employee.

If the matter that came to him now was about the board of directors, it would be so.

Fortunately or unfortunately, it was the TF team that came in.

The president shouted with a sense of resentment.

“No, why are you doing this!”

It was a voice that sounded really wronged.

Chae Kyung-jun said with a dumbfounded expression.

“Honestly, you haven’t been doing so well either, boss. Why are you so confident?”

It was something the team leader could not dare say to the president.

But the president flinched.

Now the hierarchical relationship has been completely reversed.

The fact that he came back with such a calm expression even after going to his wife means that he convinced her.

The boss asked out of curiosity.

“Did the trip go well?”

“It went as expected.”

“oh my.”

Is it a good thing that the vice president has been ousted, or is it because he hates Chae Kyung-joon who even defeated Jo Mi-hyeon?

The boss groaned.

“Do you know what’s going on at the company right now? There’s going to be an emergency board meeting. Tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock!”

“That’s not unexpected either.”

It was ridiculous.

How far did this guy read?

“Then I guess you’ve thought about what to do.”

“Isn’t the Vice President’s purpose obvious?”

“He’ll kick me out and take the CEO job!”

“Because that’s the only way to survive.”

The president looked like he was going to die.

“Are you going to kick me out too?”

Chae Kyung-jun stared blankly at the president.

“Boss. Put your hand on your heart and think about it honestly. Do you think you are clean and fit for Taesung Construction?”

I could answer even though I didn’t put my hand on my heart.

“I did my best.”

“It’s not clean.”

“… … .”

There was nothing to say.

How can Chae Kyung-jun not know about the president’s corruption when even the vice president has been investigated?

Since you’ve had three weeks, you should have done some research on the president.

If you do that, the board of directors who gathered at the vice president’s request will say, “Oh, that’s great.”

Chae Kyung-jun let out a faint sigh.

“But it suits Taesung Construction.”

“… … Yes? Huh? What?”

The president stuttered in embarrassment.

Chae Kyung-jun answered with certainty.

“It’s true that Taesung Construction has managed to survive without collapsing until now. It would be better to bring in a professional manager… … .”

The president felt as if he was dealing with a chairman.

It was hard to believe that Chae Kyung-jun was receiving instructions from anyone; he was thinking for himself and making decisions on his own.

“Do you have the authority to make that decision?”

“No. That’s what I’m going to report. But since it’s a report submitted by someone who handled the work on the front line, you’ll probably take a close look at it, right? You’ll probably use it as a reference when making decisions.”

That’s a really unique way to threaten someone.

The boss grumbled.

I wasn’t curious about who was receiving the report.

I felt like I couldn’t handle it.

“Taesung Construction has had the unique characteristic of having a separate actual owner. Since the wife has decided to step down from the company, I think there will be a lot of noise both internally and externally if the CEO changes as well. I think it would be better to keep the CEO.”

The president was shocked by the sudden influx of information.

“Retention? I appreciate that, but what did you just say? Your wife took your hand off?”

“Yes. You will completely withdraw from Taesung Construction.”

“Mrs. Jo Mi-hyeon? Are you saying she’s stepping down?”

“Yes. Now, there is no need to report important matters to your wife or leave decisions to her. You can run the business yourself.”

A smile gradually spread across the president’s face, which had been filled with embarrassment.

He who was a pants president can become a real president.

It was something I thought would never happen while Jo Mi-hyeon was around.

Chae Kyung-jun poured cold water with a pitiful expression.

“Boss, you mustn’t forget. Do you remember how our first meeting was?”

The president’s face, which had been smiling, froze.

It was quite bizarre, but it also meant that the president’s heart was shaken.

How can I forget our first meeting?

It was the first time I saw a young guy fight so hard.

At that time, I didn’t know that the guy would put a knife to my chin like this.

“Even the boss is not clean. Just know that there is always a lot to reveal. And, boss, this is not something you should be too happy about. I am doing this because I need you now, but I don’t know if the higher-ups will think the same way.”

It was like giving medicine and giving a bottle.

The president’s face became anxious again.

Come to think of it, that’s what happened.

Chae Kyung-jun was making his own decisions so much that he was mistaken in thinking he was the decision maker.

Even though Jo Mi-hyeon has let go, there is no one left to protect him.

Now, there was no reason to stop the chairman from replacing the president and executives of Taesung Construction.

Chae In-ha chuckled as he watched the president’s face turn pale.

It was always amazing to see Chae Kyung-jun manipulate people.

“Then we will take our leave now. Please make sure to attend the board meeting tomorrow.”

“Team Leader Cha, you said it would be beneficial for me to remain in the CEO position. Then, do you have any plans or methods for what to do at the board meeting… … Team Leader Cha. Team Leader Cha?”

Even though the president called him desperately, Chae Kyung-jun left the president’s office without any hesitation.

“I’m curious too. What are you going to do tomorrow?”

When Chae In-ha asked, Chae Kyung-jun smiled faintly.

“It’s a very simple and easy method.”

Chae Kyung-jun’s steps were light.

Chae In-ha, who was following behind, suddenly had that thought.

Even the vice president was a bait.

It turns out that what Chae Kyung-jun was really after was Jo Mi-hyeon.

Chae In-ha stuck out his tongue.
