The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 322



Only Noblemtl

Episode 322. Intentional Approach (3)

Chae Kyung-jun carefully observed the president’s reaction.

If there is something the CEO cannot get caught for, whether it is slush funds or embezzlement, he will do whatever it takes to stop Chae Kyung-jun.

In that case, it would have been okay to go back like this.

It’s like having a feeling.

The president’s expression changed mysteriously.

The feelings of betrayal, anger, and disbelief at being doubted were clearly revealed.

“No, this makes me a little angry. Hey, Team Leader Chae. Are you doubting me now? Of all people, me? After all the years I’ve devoted to Taesung.”

There was no president who didn’t know that Chae Kyung-jun was watching him.

The boss was cheerful.

It wasn’t the time to be controlling my expressions or acting all sloppy.

“You’re trying to convince me with that right now? If there’s nothing to worry about, you’re telling me to disclose it? This really pisses me off. I have so many affiliates, and you still doubt me?”

I was really angry at times, but it was almost like I was showing it on purpose.

Because when your superior gets angry, you get flustered.

Of course, Chae Kyung-jun just blankly observed the president.

The president suddenly remembered the phone call with Kwon Tae-ho earlier.

I could still feel the wall that seemed impenetrable even if I poked it.

Chae Kyung-jun said calmly.

“I’ve broken my rules. You know that it won’t harm the company at all. Now, it’s up to you, CEO. Oh, and if you feel uncomfortable showing it to a mere team leader, don’t worry. Other affiliates will do the same.”

I couldn’t help but think he was crazy, thinking he would do this to other companies too.

Although the intention was to provoke emotional commotion, it was the president who ended up suffering instead.

Chae Kyung-jun was telling me to tap on the calculator now.

If the purpose was to catch embezzlement or breach of trust, then it wouldn’t have mattered even if it was shown.

Taesung Security is just an ordinary company that has nothing to worry about.

It’s better than becoming a hot topic by making people visit repeatedly.

“Is that all you see?”

“Yes. Of course. Do you think that President Kwon Tae-ho would lend his strength to Tae-seong’s hands and feet?”

Those words were decisive.

The boss chuckled.

“I can use it really well because you gave me strength.”

“It was so hard to get. I have to use it in the right place.”

I felt relieved after making the decision.

He looked at the man and woman quietly and nodded.

There was definitely a need to revise the evaluation.

It’s not that I hid Chae In-ha and hired a proxy.

Rather, it was the team leader who took Chae In-ha with him.

“I’m only seeing you for today.”

“thank you.”

Chae Kyung-jun easily accepted it, as the excuse was to show it today so as not to visit multiple times.

This made me even more confident that I could obtain evidence within today.

‘Where did this guy come from?’

Usually, every person goes through a process of growth.

Where is the person who was good from the beginning?

Taesung Group also started out as a mid-sized company, and even the CEO himself studied management while working here and there.

Compared to others, it may be less difficult, but the important thing is that no one is good from the start.

Surely this young man must have had a first time.

‘No, isn’t this moment the first for everyone?’

I heard that Chae Kyung-jun has only been here for a year and a half.

In the first place, it became a hot topic because a young man with only that much experience took down the Taesung Construction leadership.

If that were the case, there would have been no separate opportunity to gain experience.

Everything that was assigned to him by his superiors and everything that the young man did must have been new to him.

When have you ever hit the head of a large corporation’s affiliate?

I was amazed at his drive and ability to act without hesitation even though everything was new to him.

Aren’t you afraid that something might go wrong?

Of course, the CEO and the general employees have different things.

If the CEO makes a mistake, the company will be in trouble.

Because there was so much responsibility on my shoulders, there were times when I couldn’t move easily.

However, that doesn’t mean that what Chae Kyung-jun did was some trivial and insignificant task.

His actions and decisions can have a major impact on the company’s bottom line.

He already had that much power.

In that case, the sense of responsibility and burden will also be great.

Since you have already changed the management with your own hands, you will know well the consequences of your decisions.

However, Chae Kyung-jun did not show any sign of trembling at all.

‘I can’t help but ask this.’

I was so curious I couldn’t stand it.

In the end, the president stopped Chae Kyung-jun, who was about to leave, and asked him.

“Don’t you think you’ve gained too much power? Aren’t you scared? A single word from Team Leader Chae could shake the company.”

It’s ridiculous to admit that a single team leader has that much power, but what can you do?

That is the truth.

It wasn’t something to be ignored just because the other person was the team leader.

‘No, at that point, shouldn’t you have promoted him quickly? He’s making people feel wrong.’

An executive with a strong ego or who is stupid might look down on someone just because they are a team leader.

It’s not like big companies only have good people.

And it’ll be a big hit.

‘I avoided any mishaps because I didn’t let my guard down.’

What if you go somewhere else like today and act without revealing that Kwon Tae-ho is behind you?

What if an executive or president gets caught up in it?

This is truly a major accident.

One slip of the tongue could cost the president his head.

Doesn’t that seem unlikely?

If the company is scheming something by using tricks.

If you accidentally let something slip, thinking you could keep your mouth shut like usual.

Will it be possible to recover then?

Absolutely not.

Chae Kyung-jun had already been given that much power.

Does he know that fact and still swing it around?

Chae Kyung-jun said with an expression that said, “What’s so obvious?”

“Of course I’m scared. I’m not so irresponsible as to swing my weight around without even knowing what’s been given to me. If I were, President Kwon Tae-ho wouldn’t have given me the authority in the first place.”

That’s right.

What kind of person is Kwon Tae-ho?

If someone is willing to put his or her name on the line to lend someone his or her strength, it means that he or she trusts that person and thinks highly of him or her.

When I actually met him in person and talked to him, he had an aura and skill that made me wonder if that was possible at that age.

Even the owner family, who learned management from a young age, wouldn’t be able to do something like that.

That’s why I thought I had to promote him quickly.

It was already a huge privilege to be promoted to team leader after only one year, but even that felt insufficient.

When I think about the people who will suffer if they look down on me because I’m a team leader.

‘I thought that being promoted to team leader after only one year of experience was a parachute, but if I were to be given a higher position, there might be controversy.’

Chae Kyung-jun’s name is still unknown to many people.

Even if he had just been promoted to team leader, there would have been quite a few people who would have objected.

But if you bring it out like this, there will be quite a few people who will recognize and acknowledge his skills.

Then it will be easier to get promoted.

‘That must be CEO Kwon Tae-ho’s real intention.’

At this point, internal crackdowns within the affiliates?

Of course, there may be that kind of ulterior motive, but after talking to Kwon Tae-ho on the phone, I could sense that he had another motive.

Let’s say it was a place to introduce a person named Chae Kyung-jun to the presidents of each affiliate company.

The effect seemed good.

Even if you introduce someone at a gathering of CEOs by saying, “This guy is good at his job,” it won’t have much of an impact.

But what if we go into the offices of each affiliate company like this?

It will remain in your memory.

‘You’ve raised him quite strongly.’

This was a bit surprising.

Should we really say that this is typical of Kwon Tae-ho?

Usually, they take care of their own line by taking them to various positions or giving them easy tasks to build up their careers.

However, Kwon Tae-ho and Chae Kyung-jun were the exact opposite.

Get around on your own and do things on your own.

Of course, this way, you gain a lot of experience as you experience it firsthand.

Needless to say, his judgment and improvisation on the spot are essential.

But it is just as difficult.

It was the same with giving authority.

It is possible that the greater the power given, the greater the enemy created.

How much do you believe in her and how strong do you plan to raise her that you are turning her out like this?

It was impossible to know Kwon Tae-ho’s innermost thoughts, but one thing was certain.

Once Chae Kyung-jun has gone around the affiliated companies, there will be no senior executive within Taesung Group who does not know him.

The boss grumbled.

“That’s not something a scared person would do.”

Are you scared? After pushing me like that?

Then Chae Kyung-jun laughed.

“Isn’t every moment an opportunity? I know the helplessness of not being able to do anything because I don’t even have that opportunity. Compared to that, I’m quite happy now.”

The boss nodded.

I don’t fully understand the urgency, but I think I have a rough idea.

How frustrating would it be if you wanted to show something but couldn’t?

“Then, sir, please give me just one call.”

“Where are you?”

“I’m going to the management support office.”

“Ugh.”

The president licked his lips and pressed the intercom.

“Oh, Director Choi. Two guests will be leaving, so I’ll do my best to accommodate their requests.”

The president made a vague gesture with his hand, saying, “Okay?”

It means go quickly.

This time I didn’t refuse.

After the two young men left the president’s office, the president belatedly realized, “Oops.”

“Ah! I should have said hello to the young lady!”

Chae Kyung-jun’s presence was so strong that I forgot about the chairman’s youngest daughter.

Even if we chase after it now, it doesn’t look good.

As I was thinking about it, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

“The two of you look good together. You’re similar in age and have similar abilities. Mr. Chairman, by any chance… … .”

Since she was the youngest daughter whom the chairman cherished, it was certain that he would never allow her to have a political marriage.

If so, it’s a love marriage.

I already had a feeling when I saw them sticking close together like that.

If the chairman didn’t like it, he wouldn’t have kept his daughter by his side.

“Hey, no way… … .”

It was both half-believing and creepy.

Maybe I just almost made a big mistake.

It occurred to me later that since Chae In-ha lives with the chairman, he can hear the president’s behavior right away.

He is a talented person that the chairman likes and that Kwon Tae-ho is diligently nurturing.

“It won’t work.”

The president got up from his seat and chased after the two.

* * *

Director Choi of the Management Support Office was flustered by this unprecedented event.

“Yes… …? What do you want me to show you?”

“Ledgers. It would be better if you could also show me the main business partners and management records.”

Although he spoke casually, it was all important information for the company.

I was wondering what was going on when I got a call from the CEO, and then two young men and women walked in.

The two young men, whom I was seeing for the first time, immediately asked to see the ledgers, including the financial statements and attached documents.

“Who are you and where are you from?”

I asked if there was a tax audit coming out, and they said it was Taesung Construction.

It was even more confusing.

If it weren’t for the call from the CEO, I would have called the security team and kicked him out right away.

What kind of nonsense is this, a security company showing company data to outsiders?

Although they only share the name Taesung, they have never been associated with Taesung Construction.

The manager was stalling and wasting time.

“Just a moment. I don’t quite understand. You’re from Taesung Construction, right?”

“yes.”

“But by what authority do you want to look at our company’s internal data?”

The young man smiled as if he had expected this.

“I guess a phone call from the boss isn’t enough.”

“I got the call. I did get it, but… … .”

No matter how much you are ordered to do something from above, there are bound to be things that you instinctively reject.

Especially in this case, it’s an outsider.

What if I show it to the boss and he pretends not to know about it later?

In the end, it’s the director who takes responsibility.

“Even if I say I’m okay, you won’t believe me. Um, what should I do… ?”

It was a natural thing for the director who had never heard of the name Chae Kyung-jun.

If a manager from an affiliate company who has nothing to do with your business comes and asks to see internal data, who would readily show it to you?

But I couldn’t ignore it because I got a call from the boss.

It was when the director was stamping his feet, not knowing what to do.

“Sir, this is ridiculous. What right does an outsider have to look at our data? You should try to convince the CEO instead.”

A second-year employee, with whom I had only had a few conversations, exploded.

‘It was the management team, right?’

I don’t remember the employee’s name, but I was very grateful.

It was a time when I was just hoping someone would stop me.

It was unexpected that a second-year employee came forward, but I guess it was possible because of his low seniority.

The longer you’ve been around, the more you take care of yourself.

But somehow, I felt a sense of personal emotion from the second-year employee who was looking at the customer.

‘Do you know him?’

The manager, who had bought some time, observed the guests’ reactions.

Unlike the second-year employees who seemed to be full of hostility, the guests seemed relatively relaxed.

“Here we meet again, Mr. Sim Jun-ho.”

But is it just my imagination that makes it sound like the sun is setting?

The director swallowed dryly, feeling that something was about to happen.
