The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 321



Only Noblemtl

Episode 321. Intentional Approach (2)

Taesung Security CEO Yoo Hyeon-sik couldn’t hide his embarrassment.

A professional secretary? That’s not a problem.

I’m a secretary, what can I do?

But the name that came before it was something that could never be ignored.

Taesung Trading CFO Kwon Tae-ho.

I didn’t want to believe it.

I thought it was someone with the same name, so I rubbed my eyes and looked again, but it was really Kwon Tae-ho.

Because in this Taesung group, there is only one person who can use that title.

It would have been easier to deal with her if she had just been Kwon Tae-ho’s secretary.

Just send it back first and then talk to Kwon Tae-ho later.

That was also more advantageous for the CEO.

When it comes to Kwon Tae-ho, he’s bound to be involved in a lot of things.

You can’t just arbitrarily fire the president of an affiliate company.

Because once he moves, it’s official.

But the title written here conveys a different meaning.

It clearly says Taesung Construction Team Leader.

But what happened to Kwon Tae-ho’s professional secretary?

– Far away.

The president gritted his teeth.

‘Are you going to come out like this?’

Common sense tells you that unless you have two bodies, you can’t work at both Taesung Construction and Taesung Materials at the same time.

Also, you can’t do both team leader and secretary work at the same time.

It means one thing.

He works as a team leader at Taesung Construction, but externally he uses the title of Kwon Tae-ho’s professional secretary.

Although she doesn’t do any secretarial work, they gave her the title of secretary.

That directly indicated that Kwon Tae-ho was behind it.

If they had intended to give strength at the group level, they would have created a decent department at headquarters and placed him there, or even put him in the strategy office, but that didn’t seem to be the case.

If that’s the case, then it means that Kwon Tae-ho is personally pushing it.

That was a headache in its own right.

It is not an official event of the headquarters as Kwon Tae-ho does not personally handle it.

But behind me, there is clearly Kwon Tae-ho.

This obvious fact could not be ignored.

The president glared at Chae Kyung-jun, barely resisting the urge to tear up the business card.

He was still sitting with a relaxed expression, watching the boss’s reaction.

I felt even worse because it felt like I was being tested.

The boss opened the door and sent the secretary who had been waiting out.

Then, after a moment of thought, I picked up the phone.

The fact that he is assigned to Taesung Construction and is only given the title of secretary means that he operates separately from Kwon Tae-ho.

But can’t we protest?

I couldn’t just sit back and watch a knife be put to my neck.

It’s shameful to be treated like that by a mere team leader.

“Ah, this is Yoo Hyeon-sik from Taesung Security. I have something urgent to tell you, so please connect.”

As soon as the president revealed his position, the secretary’s office on the other side connected him without delay.

The other person accepted it as if he had been waiting for it.

-Yes. This is Kwon Tae-ho.

“Is this what you want, sir?”

It was a sudden remark, but since it was meant to be said by someone else, he accepted it without the slightest wavering.

-Well, yes and no.

Did Yoo Hyun-sik figure out the whole situation with just one word?

Of course, it is not impossible.

Not long after sending the business card, Kwon Tae-ho received a complaint call from the president of another affiliate.

It’s probably easy to guess who’s sitting in front of Yoo Hyeon-sik now.

It’s ridiculous that all of that happened in my head in less than a second.

Yoo Hyeon-sik clicked his tongue inwardly.

‘This monster.’

The operation to launch a surprise attack ended in failure.

The opponent was a fox among foxes who didn’t seem like he would bleed even if he stabbed her.

Now the turn has passed to CEO Yoo Hyeon-sik.

This time, Yoo Hyeon-sik had to interpret Kwon Tae-ho’s words.

‘Yes and no?’

It was a vague statement.

I’m sure he said that on purpose.

Sweat dripped down Yoo Hyun-sik’s temples.

He wasn’t as quick-witted as Kwon Tae-ho.

Of course, Yoo Hyeon-sik is not just sitting in the CEO’s seat.

‘It’s not something Kwon Tae-ho would allow, but he’s going to give you strength.’

It was perfect, except that it took 3 seconds to come to a conclusion.

It was the difference between Yoo Hyeon-sik and Kwon Tae-ho.

“Then is there a need to intervene? Let’s skip everything and just talk about it between the two of you.”

Even if I get scolded, I’d rather get scolded by Kwon Tae-ho than by the team leader.

That was the determination.

But Kwon Tae-ho had no idea.

-I’m busy. Let’s talk to your guest first.

“Boss, isn’t this too much? Do you think the current level is appropriate?”

-The boss is currently wasting my time with useless things.

It was an extremely insulting remark, but Yoo Hyeon-sik couldn’t say anything out loud.

Not all CEOs are the same.

Tae-ho Kwon, who is responsible for the internal affairs of the entire Taesung Group, and Hyeon-sik Yoo, the president of the third military affiliate.

The two people’s positions were completely different.

In the first place, the fact that Yoo Hyun-sik called was just a one-time attempt.

Rather than getting stabbed by the team leader, he would rather talk back to Kwon Tae-ho.

The problem was that it didn’t work on Kwon Tae-ho at all.

-What happens at Taesung Security, resolve it at Taesung Security.

“Then, sir, you won’t get involved at all?”

-I sent my business card to Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun. I believe the CEO will understand what I mean.

Yoo Hyeon-sik kept his mouth tightly shut.

Whatever Chae Kyung-jun does, I won’t interfere, but I will give him strength.

What kind of convenient excuse is this?

-If you have nothing more to say, I will hang up.

“no…….”

Kwon Tae-ho didn’t wait.

Because I’ve already said everything that needed to be said.

Yoo Hyeon-sik isn’t the type of person who can’t understand that much.

It was like Kwon Tae-ho who hated wasting time.

Yoo Hyun-sik stared blankly at the phone.

Now there is no more excuses and no place to cling to.

Chae Kyung-jun finally opened his mouth.

“Can I speak now?”

Yoo Hyeon-sik looked at the mastermind behind the incident.

It was a look in his eyes that seemed like he was going to eat me at any moment.

But Chae Kyung-jun didn’t avoid eye contact.

Thanks to that, Yoo Hyeon-sik was able to look the young man straight in the eye.

Normally, when someone above you glares at you like this, you would instinctively flinch, but there was nothing like that.

It’s not that I made eye contact on purpose to endure something scary.

Just like when I first came, there was a faint smile and indifference in those eyes.

If I had to find an emotion that I could feel there, it would be something like, ‘What do you want me to do?’

‘This crazy guy.’

It was absurd.

Even though it is a subsidiary of a remote company, it is a subsidiary of a large corporation with annual sales exceeding 1 trillion won.

This means that it is a company of such a size that even small and medium-sized companies cannot compete with it.

To come to the president’s office of a company like that and have that kind of expression on your face.

It was an idea that could be done because I didn’t know what kind of great people Chae Kyung-jun had dealt with so far.

The chairman and his two arms, Gam Bae-seop and Kwon Tae-ho.

And the many executives I met at Taesung Construction.

Compared to him, Yoo Hyeon-seok was a newbie.

Chae Kyung-jun gradually felt that the time had come.

‘Shall we move on to the next step?’

Chae Kyung-jun started to get upset.

“Boss, why would I come here to ruin the company? I’m from Taesung too.”

Hey, look at this guy. The boss narrowed his eyes.

Because I understood the intention from Chae Kyung-jun’s words.

I’ll persuade the boss, get what I want, and then get out.

The first priority was to figure out what he wanted.

“I see you were talking about accounts receivable earlier, so it seems like you want to find fault with our company’s sales. Maybe you want to point out the turnover rate?”

Chae Kyung-jun also noticed that this was a stab.

Since you’ve come to someone else’s company, you have to show some sort of purpose if you’re going to investigate.

What I really want to see is the ledger, but I can’t ask to see the actual site, right?

“Wouldn’t you like to know once you see it?”

“It seems like you’ve done some investigating. Why don’t you just open up and take a look?”

Chae Kyung-jun smiled brightly.

It was the beginning of full-scale negotiations.

“Is it okay if I listen?”

He attacked me by bringing up something the president had deliberately tried not to hear.

Once you hear it, you either have to admit it or deny it.

You can’t pretend not to know later.

The boss cleared his throat.

The problem was that I didn’t know what cards my opponent had.

‘I can’t even read your expression.’

It was hard to imagine how a young man could hide his feelings so well.

What if you brought something fatal to the company?

Is it better to listen now, or should I pretend not to know and blame it on my subordinates when something happens later?

The president chose to postpone for the time being.

“Okay, I understand. Please give me some time. If you need any information, please ask for it. We will organize it and prepare it. Please come back then.”

To that extent, it was a huge concession.

Showing data to outsiders is something that should not be done in the first place.

That’s why I asked you to come back again.

Because it can’t leak outside.

This is possible because Kwon Tae-ho has power over all of the group’s affiliates.

If the person behind Chae Kyung-jun was another president, he wouldn’t have shown it no matter how much power he had.

In that sense, Kwon Tae-ho was treated as if he was the only person in the Taesung Group’s strategy room.

He is the only person who can intervene in other affiliates.

I think I’ll be satisfied with this.

But Chae Kyung-jun didn’t even nod.

“Hey, boss. If you say it like that, it’s even more suspicious. It’s no different from saying you’re going to blatantly touch it.”

Of course, that’s natural.

Because I was thinking of touching it.

I don’t know what you want, but I thought I’d give it a thorough overhaul.

In times like this, it’s not a bad idea to do an internal check.

It’s polite to ignore it even though you know it.

“I already gave in. Asking for more is robbery. Team Leader Chae, are you willing to negotiate?”

Chae Kyung-jun laughed heartily.

“Boss, I think you’ve been mistaken since earlier.”

Although his face was still smiling, his eyes were sharp.

‘What kind of look does that little boy have in his eyes… … .’

This is the first time I’ve seen a team leader so openly scolding the president of an affiliate company.

It was beyond absurd, it was embarrassing.

“I had no intention of negotiating.”

You say you have no intention of sitting at the negotiating table and negotiating.

The boss noticed that this was also a tactic.

‘I guess you want something big.’

This is a bit tricky.

I figured that the information the team leader wanted was just a few minor flaws to put on his resume.

I thought that if I showed them a few like throwing them some bait, they would be satisfied and go back.

But judging by the way he’s pushing forward, I wonder if he’s prepared to turn the company upside down.

“Since we have the same personality, I don’t think there’s anything that could cause the company to fail?”

“That’s why I came in person. At least the matter won’t be leaked to the outside.”

Chae Kyung-jun accepted it with a playful expression.

It was so soft that I thought it had been prepared in advance.

The boss laughed out loud.

At that moment, Chae Kyung-jun lowered his voice.

The face that had been smiling brightly the whole time became serious.

If it was calculated, I thought it was a pretty good production.

“Think about it, Mr. Kwon Tae-ho. Mr. Kwon Tae-ho has never given anyone strength before. Rumors about me will spread throughout Taesung in no time. But imagine if I take the time to visit Taesung Security twice. What would other companies think?”

“I think Team Leader Chae has set his sights on Taesung’s security.”

The president was groaning.

Because I knew what you were trying to say.

He is right.

It is highly unusual for an affiliate to be empowered to operate outside its own borders.

There will definitely be rumors going around among the executives.

In that situation, if Chae Kyung-jun visits again, it would be tantamount to indicating that there is something going on with Taesung Security.

It will definitely attract attention.

“But if you only visit once, it could be seen as a greeting or a check-up.”

“But asking me to show it without any preparation is a bit… … .”

“As I said, I am also from Taesung. I did not come here to shake up Taesung Security. To be honest, I have no interest in you, sir. This is the first time I have met you.”

“Then what is your purpose?”

Now it’s time to lay the foundation.

Chae Kyung-jun said meaningfully.

“Is there anything that the head office shouldn’t know?”
