The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 323



Only Noblemtl

Episode 323. Intentional Approach (4)

Two young men from another affiliate suddenly appear and the youngest employee of the management team who is hostile to him.

As Director Choi, it was natural that he should have tried to stop it, but he decided to wait and see.

Because things were turning out strangely.

Even if it was an order from the CEO, I felt that I shouldn’t just show him the internal information.

There is a high probability that if you show it to an outsider, you will end up getting hurt later, and above all, there is no such thing as a perfectly clean company.

If you show it without knowing what the other person’s purpose is, you may get criticized.

It might not be such a big deal since the boss said it was okay to show it.

But that’s that, he was the head of the management office.

It was important to figure out what the other person wanted.

What is needed for that is time and information.

It was very opportune timing for the youngest employee to step forward.

It might buy you some time, and you might even get some clues from their conversation.

Director Choi took a step back.

“Hmm, I guess that’s how it goes.”

Chae Kyung-jun glanced at Director Choi with his eyes wide open.

That one action was enough to capture the director’s thoughts.

However, I did not bother to question the director.

I have no choice but to show it anyway,

Because Chae Kyung-jun now has the authority to do so.

It’s just a matter of timing when to put it out.

The reason I’m not putting it out now is to give the director time to accept it.

When you panic, you can’t make rational decisions.

The director may be at a loss as to what to do right now.

There was a need to give him that information.

Shim Jun-ho was a suitable opponent.

‘Let’s try it out.’

Chae Kyung-jun saw the motive that was burning hostility towards him.

How to start.

Shim Jun-ho pushed forward with great momentum, as if to ease his worries.

“Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun. I don’t know how you threatened the CEO, but it probably wasn’t a legitimate method. Isn’t that the kind of person Team Leader Chae is?”

Hoo, Chae Kyung-jun wiggled his eyebrows.

It will come out like this.

He didn’t seem like a completely stupid guy.

‘Well, that means he must have taken the position of group leader and caught Chae On-ik’s eye.’

Shim Jun-ho’s strategy was quickly apparent.

It makes you look like a bad guy.

They are all seeing Chae Kyung-jun for the first time.

Of course, if you are someone who pays close attention to the news or is well-informed about Taesung’s news, you may have heard the name Chae Kyung-jun at least once, but that is it.

What did Chae Kyung-jun do, and what kind of person is he?

There is no way that an ordinary employee would know what position he or she holds within the Taesung Group.

At the moment, even the director doesn’t know who Chae Kyung-jun is.

The first thing Chae Kyung-jun did was to replace the executives of the affiliated companies.

That too is related to the owner’s family.

They are busy keeping quiet and hiding.

Even if it’s a senior executive who has been in the company for a long time, there’s no way that rumors would spread to the executive level.

Shim Jun-ho took advantage of that.

Just as first impressions determine one’s evaluation of a person, they are trying to lower Chae Kyung-jun’s image.

At least, I would be more likely to trust the words of a colleague who has worked with me for over a year than a team leader from another affiliated company I am meeting for the first time.

Denying it outright here will only increase distrust.

Chae Kyung-jun matched the rhythm.

“Threats? That’s a strange thing to say. Was the boss here really that insignificant that he could be threatened by a mere team leader?”

Of course, Chae Kyung-jun is not the type to give a nice nod.

Where is the idiot who would take it as is?

He twisted the other person’s words and threw them out.

Shim Jun-ho looked flustered and began to think about what to say in return.

Chae Kyung-jun leisurely waited for him to make his next attack.

I was ready to accept it in any way.

After dealing with people like Kwon Tae-ho, Tak Hee-min, and Chae On-ik, I was bored watching Shim Jun-ho.

His inner thoughts were transparent, as if reflected in a mirror.

It was clear that he was anxious about how he could find a way to make a dent in it.

I wonder if he was like that at first too.

But I didn’t feel a sense of kinship.

Why is that?

Shim Jun-ho and I are actually in similar situations.

They struggle to get an opportunity by any means necessary and take advantage of others.

What difference does it make?

“How can you possibly handle someone with such a fearsome backing? I heard a rumor. It’s said that CEO Kwon Tae-ho is fond of you.”

Chae Kyung-jun, who had been quietly watching Shim Jun-ho, noticed the difference.

That’s malicious.

Shim Jun-ho was desperate to somehow bring down Chae Kyung-jun.

If I can’t get up, I’ll pull you down, or at least hurt you.

It was full of such vicious malice.

Chae Kyung-jun had never done anything with such malicious intent.

Of course, it’s not that I don’t have any feelings.

I always had the desire to win and to move up.

That was a strong motivator.

Chae Kyung-jun’s methods are not fair.

Sometimes they work behind the scenes and take advantage of others.

But at least there was no ill will towards the other person.

I just accepted it as work.

I’m not trying to make a general argument that you shouldn’t mix personal feelings with work.

Chae Kyung-jun also thought that he had to trample on the incompetent managers who were eating away at Taesung Construction.

But I didn’t feel ashamed to show it to others.

Can the current Shim Jun-ho speak confidently to others?

There is no dark, ugly malice.

Those who have fought Chae Kyung-jun so far have accepted defeat cleanly.

The incompetent manager line struggled, but the result was clean.

That may also be because Chae Kyung-jun has no ill intentions.

Because I’m only moving for work and for the benefit of the company.

If there was any malice, would Jo Mi-hyeon have stepped down so cleanly?

No. He would have tried to regain control of the company by any dirty means.

The chairman or Kwon Tae-ho would not have trusted him and entrusted him with the work, and Chae In-ha would not have followed him around.

“The thing I hate the most is parachutes. Chae Kyung-jun really fell from the sky. How does it feel to have connections? Isn’t it too much to do whatever you want with the president of an affiliate?”

Shim Jun-ho was exactly the opposite.

His personal feelings were dripping out.

Now, they even call me team leader without the title.

The eyes of the people around Chae Kyung-jun were gradually becoming more fierce.

Chae In-ha, who couldn’t stand to watch, started to cry and tried to step forward, but it was Chae Kyung-joon who stopped her.

“why……!”

Chae In-ha swallowed her words as she saw Chae Kyung-jun shaking his head.

Chae Kyung-jun’s expression was full of composure.

No matter how irritating Shim Jun-ho’s words were, Chae Kyung-jun didn’t seem to be affected.

It meant that he was confident that he could turn things around even in the current situation.

But that’s one thing, and being angry is another.

Chae In-ha glared at Shim Jun-ho with a sullen expression.

‘You’re on my radar.’

It was the first time that Chae In-ha had personal ill feelings toward someone.

Chae Kyung-jun asked with an expression that said, “Have you said everything you wanted to say?”

“Is it the end?”

“What did you say?”

“I guess this is the end. This is disappointing. I knew that Mr. Shim Jun-ho would try to stop me somehow. I wondered what kind of logic he would come up with… … .”

Chae Kyung-jun smiled softly.

It’s not a joke. It’s just to make him look like a gentle and good-natured young man.

It was a smile that never broke even in front of the person above.

“Mr. Shim Jun-ho made a big mistake. He revealed that CEO Kwon Tae-ho was behind me.”

“So what… … .”

“Do you think CEO Kwon Tae-ho is an idiot?”

“… … .”

In fact, there was one more logic that could be overturned.

Aren’t you also behind Chae On-ik? Criticizing someone for having a backer is hypocrisy.

It was easy to break Shim Jun-ho’s hastily constructed logic.

But it was intentional that Chae On-ik was not mentioned.

If the employees here find out that Chae On-ik is behind Shim Jun-ho, Shim Jun-ho’s position will rise.

Regardless of what Chae On-ik thinks of Shim Jun-ho, to the rank-and-file employees, Chae On-ik is a high-ranking official.

How can you treat someone so carelessly when that high-ranking person is behind you?

It’s obvious that they’ll give preferential treatment to Shim Jun-ho.

If you take on even one project, you can build your career in no time.

When Chae On-ik starts paying attention and taking care of it again, a virtuous cycle begins.

That kind of person has a long tail.

Regardless of his abilities, he’ll be a troublesome enemy.

There is no need to do anything that will foster future enemies.

Fortunately, Shim Jun-ho’s logic was crude.

So that it doesn’t have to be that hard.

“Do you think President Taesung Security is stupid? Even if President Kwon Tae-ho is behind me, if it was an unreasonable request, the president would have cut it off in the middle. And if I had made such a request, would President Kwon Tae-ho have just sat back and done nothing? It would be like selling my name and getting a bad reputation.”

Thanks to bringing up Kwon Tae-ho, things actually became easier.

If Chae Kyung-jun had talked about Kwon Tae-ho, it would have been a bit confusing.

It’s no different from a third party, Sim Jun-ho, confirming it.

The director would have accepted it naturally as well.

Chae Kyung-jun lightly pushed it away.

“You mentioned qualifications at first. Thanks to those qualifications, I can now talk.”

It’s the right timing.

Chae Kyung-jun took out his business card and handed it to the director.

The director, who had been quietly looking at the text, let out a soft exclamation of “Ah.”

“It’s natural for President Kwon Tae-ho to take care of the internal affairs of the affiliated companies. I’m just here to represent President Kwon Tae-ho. Or, you don’t want President Kwon Tae-ho to come in person, do you?”

The manager took a deep breath.

He didn’t know much about politics, so he didn’t know what the title of professional secretary meant.

But one thing was certain.

Kwon Tae-ho is coming to inspect in person?

There is a difference between a secretary coming and looking at something and Kwon Tae-ho coming and looking at something.

The very arrival of such a big shot is cause for alarm.

It would have been a hundred, a thousand times better for the secretary to have seen it.

Assuming the worst, the current situation actually feels okay.

It was the moment when Director Choi was about to nod his head.

“No! But that person is an outsider! He can’t just show us our data!”

Now it was just a simple grab without any logic or anything.

The manager frowned.

His mind was filled with thoughts of avoiding the worst.

“Who was that on the management team?”

“This is Shim Jun-ho.”

“Junho, thank you, but I don’t think it’s your place to step forward right now.”

The manager of the management team who received the wink took Shim Jun-ho aside and stepped aside.

In the meantime, Shim Jun-ho was desperate to interfere in some way, but it seemed like no logical reasoning came to mind.

That appearance seemed strange even among the same employees.

“What, why me?”

“Isn’t this your second year?”

“The team leader is still quiet, but the youngest is stepping forward.”

“Honestly, there’s nothing I can do about it since you’re CEO Kwon Tae-ho’s secretary.”

“What personal grudge do you have? What good will it do if you resolve it here?”

Shim Jun-ho’s face turned red as he muttered.

Again.

I gained nothing and only lost money.

There was nothing that could be done if I got involved with Chae Kyung-jun.

‘How can you not even find a scratch… … .’

It’s a different dimension.

It was a complete defeat.

I had already acknowledged it, but the situation made it even more real.

As Shim Jun-ho was dragged to a corner seat, the director thought about it for the last time.

The business card in his hand was enough to tip the scales.

The last one to put the finishing touches was the president.

“What, Director Choi? You haven’t shown it yet?”

“president?”

The president, who had been following along late and had figured out what was so disturbing, convinced Director Choi after reading the situation.

“Just show me. If anything happens, you can just say it’s Director Kwon.”

Those words were decisive.

When even the president showed up and took Chae Kyung-jun’s side, no one could stop him.

‘It’s too far.’

The distance between Shim Jun-ho and Chae Kyung-jun is only 3 meters.

But it felt like I could never reach it.

Emotions like envy, jealousy, and anger clumped together and settled into a sticky mass.

My stomach churned.

There is nothing that can be done.

The opponent was way too high up.

Chae In-ha carefully observed Shim Jun-ho, who was gnashing his teeth.

As if trying not to forget.

Chae In-ha also felt that he was different from the rivals or competitors he usually met.

‘Tae Sung Security Shim Jun-ho. I have to remember that.’

He is a person who may become an obstacle to Chae Kyung-jun’s future.

I’ll shake it off somehow. No matter what the means.

The girl who had no knowledge of the ways of the world had already become dyed in Chae Kyung-jun’s colors.
