Episode 300. Emergency Board Meeting (2)

Everyone except the president was surprised by the sudden appearance of a young man.

Even the staff who knew who Chae Kyung-jun was curious as to why he was appearing here.

The vice president had a menacing expression on his face.

It wasn’t just, “Why are you here?”, but it was a look in his eyes that seemed to be filled with murder.

The ones who were embarrassed by this were the board members belonging to the faction.

‘What is it? Who is it?’

‘What department are you from? Who the hell are you to come into a board meeting and start swearing at the vice president?’

‘Why is the boss happy again?’

What was surprising was the vice president’s reaction.

The vice president, who would normally have kicked him out, asking how he dared come in, just glared at him without saying a word.

That wasn’t the only part I didn’t understand.

‘The vice president is taking you seriously, isn’t he?’

It’s the first time I’ve seen the vice president so angry.

It wasn’t even just hostility.

It felt like seeing an enemy.

The young man who smiled back at those eyes without any hesitation was also not ordinary.

At least, if you are an ordinary employee, you cannot stand still in your right mind when your superior acts like that.

Even the people who are moving right now are feeling discouraged.

‘Are you an executive? But you’re so young.’

‘Did your company have an executive like that?’

Naturally, we came to the conclusion that the young man was an executive.

Because I thought that I couldn’t fight the vice president unless it was at least to that extent.

Because I hadn’t been to work for so long, I didn’t know about the young team leader who had come in a few months ago and was causing a stir.

‘To become an executive at that age, you have to be at least part of the owner’s family, but you only have three sons.’

‘Oh, wait, are you a relative… … .’

‘But does attacking the vice president mean you’re on the president’s side?’

Which line should I hold on to in order to survive?

The directors shrank their necks like turtles.

Whatever the identity, my instinct to not get involved between the two took precedence.

But I couldn’t take my eyes off them.

At the end of this fight, their fate will also be decided.

“Are you saying you’re going to take me down after all?”

The vice president’s words were followed by gasps of breath from all over.

These are the words of a vice president, not an ordinary employee or director.

Who is he?

He is the first-class contributor who has maintained the first faction of Taesung Construction from behind and is the leader of the vassal group.

He was seriously asking a question to a young man whose identity he did not even know.

Treat yourself.

The staff also opened their eyes wide and looked at Chae Kyung-jun.

Rumors were already rife within the company about what he had done three weeks ago.

But I didn’t know I would be dealing with the Vice President.

‘Vice President? Is that possible?’

Even the people who had helped Chae Kyung-jun since he first came to Taesung Construction, including the headquarters director and executive director Jo In-chan, could not hide their surprise.

The young man they knew was deep and wise, but he was always polite and good at keeping to the rules.

It was the first time I saw him try to kill someone.

‘So that person knows how to make that kind of face.’

The manager let out a sigh of relief.

There are many different types of people in the world, but the standard for a manager is one.

How big is that person’s capacity?

In short, it’s about seeing how far that person can go.

Some people don’t deviate even an inch from the given framework.

It’s not that it’s bad.

From the perspective of giving orders, there is no one more dependable than this person.

He carries out assigned tasks with gusto and produces consistent results.

That’s it.

If you give them work outside the box, they will become overloaded.

Also, when some people receive a task, they try to get it done quickly by using shortcuts rather than following a standard strategy.

This isn’t a bad thing either.

Because I’ll get results somehow.

But sometimes there are people whose depth cannot be known.

I don’t know how far this is possible.

Although it seems like he does things in a orthodox manner, he sometimes does things that are out of the ordinary.

I have no idea what I can accomplish and how far I can go.

Even a commercial officer can do some investigating.

You can also try to take a picture of the vice president.

But, would a person in the position of team leader decide to step down as vice president and put it into action?

That’s hard to imagine.

It’s hard to cut.

Even Managing Director Jo In-chan, who could be said to be the core of Taesung Construction’s executive staff, could not see how far Chae Kyung-jun would go.

“It is the vice president who makes me do this.”

Chae Kyung-jun’s words were no different from a threat.

What team leader in the world threatens their vice president?

But even that works.

Those who knew the vice president well were the more agitated they were.

Has the vice president fallen that much?

no.

He still has influence in the company and among friendly forces.

Now that he is free from Cho Mi-hyun’s puppet, the vice president can literally take over the company.

Chae Kyung-jun was standing alone against that kind of person.

“This is a place to ask for the CEO’s trust. If you are a team leader and not a director, please leave.”

The working-level staff knew this, but the faction’s board of directors were terrified.

You’re the team leader?

Are you saying he wasn’t an executive?

But are you saying you’re going to pick a fight with the vice president?

What kind of guts is this?

The moment the directors’ eyes widened, Chae Kyung-jun poked his head out and looked at the president standing behind the vice president.

“Sir, you have to tell me.”

“ah.”

Only after Chae Kyung-jun spoke did the president open his mouth.

It’s as if Chae Kyung-jun is controlling the speaking rights in this place right now.

“Ahem. Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun, I called you. You are not qualified to attend the board meeting, but the vice president asked for my trust, so I will answer that question.”

The vice president laughed.

“The boss can’t even answer whether he is trustworthy or not, so he leaves it up to the team leader?”

“Who is as fair as Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun? He’s not on my side or the Vice President’s side. The Vice President knows that best.”

The staff immediately figured out what had happened.

‘The reason Team Leader Cha has been quiet for the past three weeks is because he’s been digging into the president and vice president’s business.’

‘Just then, the wife took her hand off, and in the meantime, Team Leader Chae barged into the board meeting. It was Team Leader Cha who caused the tectonic shift.’

The directors were thinking quickly as if they were deciding on a major matter for the company.

It was a momentous moment.

Because the company’s power is changing.

The vice president snorted.

“Isn’t that the person the boss called you for? He must be on the boss’ side.”

I was going to go with the logic that it was okay since the CEO gave permission, but when the vice president said that, I was speechless for a moment.

The one who helped him was Chae Kyung-jun.

“I don’t mind. You can reveal everything about the president and vice president here.”

To say that you helped is to take it back.

As expected, Chae Kyung-jun was not on the same side.

The president’s face turned gloomy.

But the vice president did not give in easily.

“I know you are the one who stole Taesung Construction by roasting my wife. Do you think I would fall for it? Aren’t you targeting me?”

One of the faction’s directors stood up from his seat with a clatter.

But no one scolded him.

The vice president’s words were shocking.

Taesung Construction was a so-called sanctuary that even the chairman did not touch.

‘You talked to your wife? Then, isn’t this the time to talk to the president, vice president, and the boss?’

‘Don’t I have to line up for that team leader or something?’

The heads of the directors who were trying to somehow get on the line began to get tangled.

Chae Kyung-jun looked at the vice president with a pitiful expression.

“Vice President, aren’t you being too dismissive of the Chairman? Chairman, you should proceed.”

The president realized that Chae Kyung-jun had said that to him and thought about it.

And I understood what he meant.

As expected, he was a dependable guy when they were on the same side.

“The board meeting is in progress, so we will decide by vote. If you think you should hear Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun’s report, please raise your hand.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the hands of the staff went up in the air.

It was already a majority vote.

The faction board members who had been watching the situation hesitated, and a few raised their hands.

‘I feel like I shouldn’t look bad in front of that guy.’

‘I’m betting on the boss!’

The vice president turned red after seeing the results.

Chae Kyung-jun shrugged his shoulders.

“We will continue now that the directors have given their permission.”

Chae Kyung-jun walked slowly and opened the conference room door.

Outside, Chae In-ha was waiting with several boxes stacked up.

Chae Kyung-jun and Chae In-ha brought the boxes into the conference room side by side.

Meanwhile, several directors who recognized Chae In-ha were shaking in shock.

‘I think I just saw something I shouldn’t have seen… … .’

‘No way. Hey, no way. Why is that guy here?’

Because they had been at Taesung Construction for so long, they had the opportunity to meet the chairman’s family once or twice.

They tried hard to ignore it, but they couldn’t help but feel confused.

‘No, then what the hell is that guy? Is he really your relative? How is he ordering the young lady around with his hand gestures?’

Meanwhile, Chae Kyung-jun took out a list from the box and started reciting it.

“Right now, we have material on both the president and the vice president. Kickbacks, embezzlement, breach of trust, abuse of personnel authority. Both of you are very flashy. I will read it to you in detail.”

Chae Kyung-jun brought the data to both of them very fairly, just as the president had said.

First, he recited the grounds for the president’s embezzlement, and as Chae Kyung-jun read on, the president’s face turned pale.

‘Just decide whether you’re on the same side or not.’

But the president was a nobleman after all.

As I started reciting the information about the vice president, even the expressions of the directors who were on the same side began to change.

“You were receiving a certain amount of money every month from friendly shareholders under the pretext of subsidies, right? And you were registering a number of ghost employees to embezzle company money.”

The vice president approached, snatched the documents from Chae Kyung-jun’s hands, and threw them on the floor.

“What do you want to do now?”

“As the Vice President said, this is the Board of Directors. I just brought the information so that the directors can make their own judgment. The decision is made by the Board of Directors. There is no reason for you to do this to me.”

“Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Anyone can see that this is an attempt to attack me!”

The vice president couldn’t stand it any longer.

There was no room left for the board of directors to even maintain dignity.

If we get pushed back here, it’s over anyway.

The vice president flailed his hands as if he was going to grab him by the collar.

It was a tragedy that was unthinkable for a company’s board of directors.

A confrontation between the vice president and the team leader.

The other directors just watched.

The staff were disappointed, but on the other hand, they supported Chae Kyung-jun.

Now that Jo Mi-hyeon has let go, it’s a really good opportunity.

I thought that if I did well, I could dig out the rotten roots.

That’s why I helped Chae Kyung-jun and raised my hand.

“It is an undeniable fact that the Vice President committed corruption and embezzlement. Was there anything wrong here?”

“Your intentions are wrong.”

“What’s the problem?”

“You’re trying to cut me off!”

“Where is the board of directors that can do whatever they want? The directors aren’t stupid.”

The vice president was running wild.

“That’s exactly the point! That’s how you steer the board in the direction you want!”

This was more like a one-on-one fight between a vice president and a team leader than a board meeting.

The directors watched the scene with bated breath.

The staff were always looking for an opening to help, and those in the factions were looking to see who they could please in order to survive.

“If that was your intention, then there is only one conclusion.”

Chae Kyung-jun said calmly.

But that rational and cool-headed appearance only added to the brutality.

Standing alone and confident in front of the vice president and even in the middle of the board of directors while everyone was watching.

It was an attitude that could not be expressed if there was even the slightest hesitation.

‘It’s impossible for just any brute force to do it.’

While the directors were clicking their tongues, Chae Kyung-jun spoke with an unchanging attitude.

“Vice President, you have something to be proud of yourself.”

The vice president was speechless.
