The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 324

Episode 324. Intentional Approach (5)

-Wow.

Chae On-ik clicked his tongue when he saw the name on his cell phone.

Shim Jun-ho.

He is a high school graduate who I had not been in contact with since my failure at the training center.

The reason was simple.

It was to let them experience firsthand what would happen if they failed.

A person cannot always succeed.

Even if it’s Chae On-ik, I understand that.

If you cut people off every time they fail, there won’t be any left.

But you shouldn’t forgive easily.

I wanted to leave a strong impression that failure was unacceptable.

That way, when I entrust them with work later, they will be more desperate.

It was Sim Jun-ho who contacted me first.

‘Are you impatient?’

Only it wasn’t a phone call, it was a text message.

It must have been awkward even on the phone.

The moment he opened the text, Chae On-ik’s eyes widened.

-Chae Kyung-jun came to Taesung Security and is messing around.

It was only one line, but the meaning contained therein was enormous.

Shim Jun-ho’s agony was also expected.

Chae On-ik was disappointed in his failure.

But I couldn’t help but convey this important information.

It was a huge piece of information that Chae Kyung-jun was working for a different affiliate company than the one he had been working for.

He probably wanted to convey it to Chae On-ik himself before it was conveyed to him through someone else’s mouth.

Maybe he was trying to reconnect with Chae On-ik with that.

Whatever Shim Jun-ho’s thoughts, Chae On-ik thought it was fortunate.

‘It was a good thing I laid down the information network in advance.’

If there had been no meeting of high school graduates who had been specially recruited, I would have overlooked this important fact.

I understand why the seniors have their own lines.

You may wonder why it is important for a single team leader to move, but to Chae On-ik, Chae Kyung-jun was not just a single team leader.

No, if you are a senior member of Taesung Group, you will all feel that way.

The rank and file don’t know.

Rather, he was a veteran who had heard a lot of information and was burning with excitement.

Chae On-ik was one of them.

‘Why did you come to Taesung Security?’

No, that’s not important.

There was something more urgent than the question ‘why.’

‘How did you come here?’

This is Taesung Security.

That is not Taesung Construction.

Of course, everyone knows that Chae Kyung-jun is trusted by his superiors.

I also know that I blew up the Taesung Construction leadership.

But that was within Taesung Construction.

No matter how much trust he gains, on the surface he is the team leader of Taesung Construction.

The larger the company, the more certain systems it must adhere to.

The system at Taesung Construction was already in disarray due to the team leader removing the top management.

In that situation, if we let them go to another company and cause trouble, it was clear that the entire Taesung Group would fall into chaos.

It is common for people to follow Chae Kyung-jun.

The boss’s authority is shaken.

That was something that conservative groups with systematic organization were most wary of.

There’s no way Kwon Tae-ho wouldn’t know that.

Clearly he gave something to Chae Kyung-jun.

Chae On-ik thought about the situation for a moment.

It goes without saying that Shim Jun-ho was instructed to carefully examine and report back.

How else can I use this?

But I quickly hit a wall.

‘There is no information.’

Chae On-ik clicked his tongue.

I definitely wanted to use Chae Kyung-jun, but I didn’t know what to do because I didn’t have any information.

But Chae On-ik had a plan.

An informant who was brought to his side in preparation for something like this.

Chae On-ik sent a text message to a person he had saved only with the initials K.

With a brief explanation of the situation.

The reply came back quickly.

-Please guide me to Taesung Bio.

It was as if a light had been turned on in Chae On-ik’s head.

Taesung Bio.

It is under the management of Chae Tae-ik.

I wanted to touch Taesung Electronics, which Chae Tae-ik was focusing on, but that was impossible from the start.

If it’s Taesung Bio, it would be a suitable target.

The question is whether there is anything worth touching on Taesung Bio.

‘What do you know?’

Chae On-ik was curious, but didn’t ask.

Because I am not the one who can teach you.

Just what you need, when you need it.

They held hands and became on the same side, but did not provide any further information.

It was really his style to do whatever he wanted.

That alone was enough.

The opponent is the only person who can deal with Kwon Tae-ho.

I don’t intend to make an enemy of Kwon Tae-ho, but if Kwon Tae-ho intervenes with Chae Tae-ik.

Joining hands with this person would be the best thing Chae On-ik has ever done.

It was the same even then.

If you’re going to lead to Taesung Bio, there must be something there.

As an outsider with no information network, Chae On-ik has no way of knowing.

Once you guide him, Chae Kyung-jun will take care of the rest.

It’s not because I trust Chae Kyung-jun.

Because I know his competence.

If there’s even the slightest bit of a bad side to him, he’s the kind of guy who’ll take it on regardless of who he’s dealing with.

If that opponent is Chae Tae-ik, it would be the icing on the cake.

‘It would be the best if Chae Kyung-jun and Chae Tae-ik fight!’

It’s like watching a fire across the river.

There was an attempt to use rumors to shake Chae Tae-ik’s firm position.

Chae Kyung-jun covered it up with opposing rumors.

Some said that Chae Kyung-jun attacked Chae Tae-ik, while others said that he helped him.

Chae On-ik hasn’t made up his mind yet.

But if things go as planned, I can end Chae Tae-ik with Chae Kyung-jun’s help.

This is the best picture.

‘It was a good decision to hold hands.’

Chae On-ik gave new instructions to Shim Jun-ho with a cheerful tone.

Induce him to Taesung Bio by any means necessary.

This is not an easy task either.

Chae On-ik doesn’t know what happened between the two.

But Chae Kyung-jun must have noticed that Shim Jun-ho and Chae On-ik were connected.

In this situation, if Shim Jun-ho suddenly brought up the topic of Taesung Bio, wouldn’t the trick be obvious?

Taesung Bio is under Chae Tae-ik’s jurisdiction, so it’s no different from asking him to attack Chae Tae-ik.

It may not be easy to accept.

‘That’s Shim Jun-ho’s situation.’

Do I really have to worry about that much?

He only gives instructions.

It’s Shim Jun-ho’s role to think of a way and make it happen.

‘If it were Chae Kyung-jun, he would understand even if I just said this.’

It is inevitable that we keep comparing Shim Jun-ho and Chae Kyung-jun.

Because I have already seen the talent called Chae Kyung-jun.

But in this case, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the truth.

All you have to do is lead it to Taesung Bio, regardless of the means and methods.

‘I guess I can do that much.’

I have my own calculations.

The smarter Chae Kyung-jun is, the more he has no choice but to go to Taesung Bio.

Chae On-ik waited leisurely for the results, trusting in Chae Kyung-jun’s competence more than Shim Jun-ho’s.

* * *

It took half a day to look through Taesung Security.

In fact, I was able to quickly get through it in just half a day.

From cash flow and cash flow to financial statements and supporting documentation.

It would take several days to examine it properly.

There is a reason accountants work overtime during audit season.

But today I’m not here to seriously find fault with Taesung Security.

Just by looking at the reactions of the CEO and the management support staff, you could tell that there were no major issues with Taesung’s security.

If there was something like slush funds or embezzlement, there is no way we would have investigated it like this.

Kwon Tae-ho’s secretary, Nabal, would have come up with any excuse to stop him.

I had promised to see you only for today, so it would be too naive to think that I wouldn’t find you in a short period of time.

No matter how short the time is, if you’re unlucky you’ll get caught.

And if he gets caught, the boss is finished.

There’s no way I’d take such an adventure.

The first thing I didn’t want to show was the expected reaction I got because I was an outsider.

After talking to Kwon Tae-ho, I accepted it relatively readily.

If there was a dirty corner, it wouldn’t be shown like that.

The same goes for the management support office.

The staff are looking at me with frightened expressions, but that’s understandable.

Even I would be anxious if an outsider came out of nowhere to inspect the place, wondering if they would find fault with it.

Because no company can be clean.

Right now, if I wanted to, I could find fault with Taesung Security.

Or the flow of funds is blocked.

Or if you have too much debt.

Accounts receivable are overvalued.

But these are problems that can arise in the normal course of business.

Even overrated things can vary depending on how you look at them.

I only skimmed through it because I didn’t have much time, but I spent a lot of time on the financial statements, cash flow, and assets.

There was no trace of the ‘slush funds’ that Kwon Tae-ho had worried about.

Even if you hide it very well, there are inevitably gaps that can be seen when you look at the internal data.

Ultimately, slush funds are embezzlement of company money.

When you turn over money that is already in good condition, eventually a trace is left behind.

Whether it’s a paper company or a book-fabric manipulation.

There is no need to look at them all.

We can dig into it in detail by pointing out a few places where tea is brewing.

What they wanted was not to find fault with the way their employees were doing their jobs, but to find out if there were any slush funds or embezzlement.

Other minor mistakes are eliminated.

In some parts, we dig deep.

Because I could choose and focus, I could see what I wanted in a limited amount of time.

Bottom line is, Taesung Security is clean.

Of course, just as no company is perfect, this company also had its fair share of mistakes and flaws.

But that’s just a mistake that can happen because you’re human.

There was no evidence of deliberate embezzlement.

“Good job.”

As 6 o’clock approached and it was time to leave work, I took my eyes off the monitor.

The staff were looking at me with very nervous faces.

These are the people who kept worrying about me and couldn’t work properly for half a day.

I unintentionally interrupted.

In particular, the owner of this computer was putting off his work the whole time by explaining things to me.

It was a good thing I finished it as quickly as possible within half a day.

If they had worked overtime, these people wouldn’t have been able to go home.

I swallowed hard and told the people waiting for me to speak.

“There’s nothing wrong.”

Phew, sighs of relief could be heard here and there.

“Thank you for your hard work today.”

I stood up and greeted the youngest employee who had lent me his seat.

The manager stood up awkwardly and looked at me with a strange expression.

“Really?”

“Yes. I looked into it, but I didn’t find what I was looking for. Well, I think you need to manage your special related party business partners a bit.”

“Ahem. Yes… … .”

I added this because I was afraid that if I just left, there might be some strange misunderstanding.

It is a misunderstanding that he only pretended to look into it in order to seize the initiative.

I thought it was understandable to have such thoughts after only looking at it for half a day.

The director smiled awkwardly and I bowed to him.

“I tried my best to finish before 6 o’clock. Now that he’s not coming, don’t worry and just go to work.”

“Really? Oh, no… … .”

The director, who had responded cheerfully, belatedly coughed.

It’s understandable that they would suddenly barge in and look through internal data.

It would be nice if you said you wouldn’t come.

“Yes. We’re going to take this route home. We’re really going, so you don’t have to come see us off.”

“Are you leaving without seeing the boss?”

“I bet you don’t even want to see my face. Please tell me I’m going to see you.”

“Yes? Yes… … Then I won’t go out. Please be careful on your way back.”

It is polite to get out as quickly as possible.

I left the office, waving my hand, leaving behind the employees who were now starting to feel dizzy.

Chae In-ha asked cautiously.

“Are you okay with the lack of harvest?”

It’s true that it’s a bit boring for a first start.

It would be better to just blow it up from the start.

“Hey, there are days like this. I’m not a fortune teller, so how could I pinpoint a company with slush funds? There will be more days like this in the future.”

If so, you can just look through them all.

If it’s clean, it’s good.

“From the beginning, President Kwon Tae-ho probably wanted me to experience working at several companies. He couldn’t just assign me to each and every job.”

“Well, if your goal was really to bust a company with slush funds, you would have told me the name of the company from the beginning.”

Chae In-ha agreed.

“That’s right. We just have to visit several companies in order.”

I was waiting after pressing the elevator button.

Someone was seen coming out cautiously from the office.

It was Shim Jun-ho.

Chae In-ha clicked his tongue and took a step forward, as if he didn’t like it.

“Shall I send you off?”

“No. Coming out at this point means there is a purpose.”

For example, something like Chae On-ik’s message.

There was plenty of time.

Shim Jun-ho must have reported it since he is connected to Chae On-ik.

You embarrassed me like that earlier, and now you’re coming out to provoke me on purpose?

I can’t do it even if I have to sell it.

I must have heard this from Chae On-ik.

“… … .”

I deliberately didn’t say anything.

It was to see how Shim Jun-ho, standing in front of me, would speak.

He opened and closed his mouth several times.

He came running to me in a hurry when he saw me leaving, but when he actually caught me, it was clear that he didn’t know what to say.

Feeling frustrated, I decided to help him.

“What did you say? Just tell me exactly what you said. I’ll listen and decide.”

Shim Jun-ho’s eyes widened.

Soon, his pupils began to shake from side to side.

“Uh, how… … .”

“Don’t waste time, hurry up.”

After thinking for a while, Shim Jun-ho opened his mouth with a trembling voice.

“Go to Taesung Bio. They’ll have what you want there.”

“Do you know what I want?”

“that…….”

Once again, Shim Jun-ho’s eyes wavered.

Aha, I see.

The words added at the end were just to make it sound plausible, and the purpose was Taesung Bio.

Chae On-ik wants me to hit Taesung Bio.

Who is Taesung Bio? Is it under Vice Chairman Chae Tae-ik?

Let’s figure that out later.

I asked Shim Jun-ho, who had a very gloomy face.

“Why is your expression like that?”

“I thought you wouldn’t go since I said it out loud.”

Even though he was in a hurry, his tone of voice was too revealing.

I said with a snicker.

“I’m going.”

Shim Jun-ho asked with a surprised face.

“Yes? Why? Since I said so, shouldn’t you not go?”

“It was Managing Director Chae On-ik who brought up Taesung Bio.”

“that…….”

He continued speaking while looking at Shim Jun-ho, who could neither confirm nor deny.

“That means I have caught something about Taesung Bio. I am not trying to take anyone’s side. I have no feelings toward Managing Director Chae On-ik. I just do what I have to do.”

This is information that came from Chae On-ik.

I was planning to visit other affiliates anyway.

Going to bio first isn’t a bad idea.

I waved at Shim Jun-ho, who was standing there with a blank expression.

“Please tell him I appreciate the good information. Okay.”

The goal has been set.

Next is Taesung Bio.

It is a first-tier subsidiary with a size that is incomparable to that of Taesung Security.

My anticipation grew as I wondered what would happen.
