The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 326

Episode 326. Nobody Knows (2)

Taesung Bio’s president’s office was simpler than Taesung Security’s.

The difference is that there are two secretaries outside.

The size of the offices was similar, and the furniture inside gave off a neat feeling.

However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was more about showing off than working within it.

Let’s say there are a few plaques erected.

The desk had a very uncomfortable-looking design.

Kwon Tae-ho’s desk is a spacious wooden desk that is sturdy enough to hold a lot of books and documents.

Of course, the materials were high quality.

However, although the desk in the Taesung Bio CEO’s office was pretty, it seemed too small to place many books on it.

I also didn’t really like having just a laptop dangling on the desk.

Yeah, you might be the kind of person who works mostly on a laptop.

But I couldn’t help but keep comparing myself to Kwon Tae-ho.

It’s not only because Kwon Tae-ho is my role model, but also because he was also a CEO.

Maybe this person will feel wronged if he finds out that I am comparing him to Kwon Tae-ho.

So I thought of Taesung Construction’s CEO, Kim Heung-min.

Although Taesung Construction is a second-tier subsidiary, it is a long-standing company that holds a very important position within the Taesung Group.

The office of that construction company was much more cluttered and had a lot of useless stuff than this one.

There was even a mini golf course, which is usually found in the offices of small and medium-sized businesses.

Still, I didn’t feel like I hated Kim Heung-min.

Because he was a hard worker when he worked.

One wall of Kim Heung-min’s office was filled with an old display case filled with all kinds of books, and another display case displayed dozens of Kim Heung-min’s favorite teacups.

What about the desk?

His desk, although made of high-quality wood, was clearly showing signs of wear and tear from long use.

It was a thick and sturdy old-fashioned desk.

There were some places where the paint was peeling off or there were scratches, so it felt like it had been used.

So, while the vice president was fired, the president, Kim Heung-min, was left in place.

If both of them were fired, the company would be in trouble, but at least Kim Heung-min was a person who did work.

In that sense, my first impression of Taesung Bio’s CEO’s office was like this.

It doesn’t feel like a place to work.

Of course, this is my personal opinion.

Maybe I’m just judging Taesung Bio’s president based on my own bias.

When you’re the president of a company of this size, the aspects that customers see are also important.

If it’s the president’s office, it should be decorated accordingly.

No, but isn’t that desk too uncomfortable?

Don’t you work there?

I should have done a little more research.

After visiting Taesung Security yesterday, I didn’t have time to look into Taesung Bio in depth.

Briefly, the CEO’s resume, newspaper articles, and a few economic newspaper columns covering Taesung Bio.

As a team leader, there is little way to know about the president of an affiliate company.

But I could find out if I wanted to.

The easiest way is to ask Kwon Tae-ho.

But I didn’t do that.

As always, asking Kwon Tae-ho for help is a last resort.

Because I don’t want to rely on him for anything.

Instead, I asked my colleagues.

=What kind of person is the CEO of Taesung Bio?

The reaction from the same room was explosive.

-This time it’s Taesung Bio? Wow, you really are flashy in the east and west.

-What are you going to do with Taesung Bio! You damn bastard!

-But didn’t you say that the chief went to Taesung Construction?

-You are the team leader now.

-I understand. So, Team Leader, you’re being transferred to a new place again after only half a year? Is that okay?

-It’s the opposite. They are pushing you from above to have various experiences.

My classmates’ guesses were half right and half wrong.

It’s true that you should try various experiences.

No, but I’m not the one eating Taesung Bio, so isn’t that reaction too much?

=It’s still Taesung Construction. I’m going to stop by Taesung Bio for a bit to take care of something.

-I have something to ask you about the boss.

-The scale of the work is different.

After a period of lively chatter, information began to be exchanged seriously in the study room.

Fortunately, I had a few classmates who went to Taesung Bio.

-We don’t know the details because we haven’t had a chance to meet the CEO. Please understand that.

-First of all, the rumor is good. Sometimes when we meet in the lobby or elevator, he greets us kindly.

-He’s a good person. On the outside, at least.

My classmates weren’t stupid either.

Seeing the clue that it looked like this, I felt like I was thinking of not judging by what I see on the surface.

-There is a saying that he has never been angry.

-But if he was just a nice person, he wouldn’t have been able to become the CEO.

I couldn’t tell what kind of person the boss was just from this, but I had a rough idea of ​​what he was like.

It helped me a lot.

=Thank you. I guess I can prepare and go.

-When you get back, please let us know what happened!

-Ah, it looks like it’s going to be super fun, but I can’t see it.

I closed the screaming room.

And now, the feeling of meeting the president of Taesung Bio was somewhat similar to what I had imagined.

This guy is really good at hiding his feelings.

Of all the people I’ve ever met, he was the most inscrutable.

“Hello, sir. Thank you for your sudden visit, sir.”

I greeted him politely.

Although the sudden visit was unpleasant, the president did not show even the slightest hint of it.

“Tae Sung Bio CEO, this is Yang Jeong-hoon. Please sit over here. When you make a sudden visit, it must be important or urgent. I am flexible to that extent.”

Hahaha, a pleasant laughter was heard.

Taesung Security President also had a smiling face, but you could clearly sense the look of contempt in his eyes.

On the other hand, Taesung Bio’s CEO Yang Jeong-hoon was different.

It was perfect.

From the way he treats us to the gentle look in his eyes.

There was absolutely nothing to find fault with.

He was the kind of person who would have been really difficult to deal with if we had met without knowing each other.

You are so kind and gentle.

But as we discussed in the same room, you can’t get the CEO’s seat just by being nice.

Managing a business is war.

Not all managers are bad.

However, it is not a world that can be managed with just a kind heart.

At least, President Yang Jeong-hoon probably has his own unique strengths that are different from what is visible on the outside.

And one more thing.

There’s definitely something here.

I don’t know if it’s slush funds or embezzlement.

But this was exactly where Chae On-ik and Kwon Tae-ho’s fingers were pointing.

As the CEO, you would naturally know what’s going on in this company.

How should I float?

“I’ve heard a lot about Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun. I’ve heard so much about him that it doesn’t feel like it’s the first time we’ve met. It feels like I’ve met a close friend for the first time in a long time.”

This has to be admitted.

It’s clear that they’re one step ahead when it comes to hiding their true feelings and approaching in a friendly manner.

No matter how much I try to smile and laugh, the other person will figure it out right away.

Because this is my way, but it is also the other person’s way.

In short, it meant that the methods I had used so far were not working.

“That’s ridiculous. I didn’t know that the CEO was such an easygoing and friendly person. I was so foolish to come in unprepared.”

Half of it was honest impressions.

The boss’s eyes narrowed.

Although facial expressions can usually be hidden with a smile, it is difficult to hide the look in your eyes.

However, even the eyes of President Yang Jeong-hoon were gentle and warm.

Anyone could be fooled by this.

He was also an example for me to learn from.

It was fortunate that I had been on guard in advance. If it weren’t for the hints from Chae On-ik and Kwon Tae-ho, I would have thought I had come to the wrong place and would have just passed it by.

“I’ll take that as a compliment. Then, should I introduce the person next to me?”

Chaina was standing there with a start, probably noticing that he was different from anyone he had ever met before.

He greeted me awkwardly with a stiff face.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Chae In-ha, and I work under Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun of the Taesung Construction TF Team.”

The boss nodded.

“So you decided to go out with that title? Then I’ll treat you as a TF team member here. Is that okay?”

It was clear that he knew who Chae In-ha was.

Well, if you become the president of a first-tier affiliate, you’ll be familiar with the internal affairs of the group.

Even if she was the youngest daughter who was kept hidden, I’m sure she’d seen it at least once.

Or maybe the rumor spread.

You clearly said you heard about me earlier.

I can guess the gist of the rumor.

It’s a big deal that the team leader replaced the leadership of Taesung Construction, a company with a long history.

The existence of the only team member who always stays by his side is also worth talking about.

Especially if it’s the owner’s family.

The president was saying that he would treat her not as the chairman’s youngest daughter but as a team member.

The very act of distinguishing between them was an extraordinary person.

Because everyone I’ve met so far has been wary of Chae In-ha.

Yang Jeong-hoon now says that he doesn’t care even though he knows Chae In-ha’s true identity.

What a tough opponent.

My head started spinning.

But no suitable method could come to mind to break the president’s iron wall.

It would have been the same even if I had come fully prepared.

Is this the senior member of Taesung Group?

In this case, it might be better to just go into it without any preparation.

Since I don’t have any strategy right now, it will be a bit difficult for the other person to figure out who I am.

From here on out, I have to deal with things using my improvisation and my pure head.

How far can you go?

It was the first time I had ever really hit a wall.

But rather than feeling lost, I was filled with a desire to challenge myself and see how far my skills could go.

Yeah, let’s give it a try.

I wonder if Kwon Tae-ho would have sent me to a strange place.

At times like these, you need to set clear goals.

My goal right now is just one thing.

Bringing out the dirty corners of Taesung Bio that the CEO is hiding.

You don’t have to fully understand what it is.

If I can just get the confidence that it exists, then it’s my victory.

After that, you just have to somehow push in by bringing in the strong Kwon Tae-ho.

Isn’t this the authority that Kwon Tae-ho lent me?

“So, what’s your business?”

I felt my lips drying out.

As you know, my opponent is one step ahead of me.

Tricks don’t work.

Several methods crossed my mind.

Should I try to shake him emotionally to create a gap? Should I try to get him to make a slip of the tongue? Or should I somehow prolong the conversation and get him to keep talking?

No, no matter what I do, the other person will figure out my intentions.

In the first place, which CEO would allow a sudden visit request from a team leader from another affiliate?

Because you know my history and you know who’s behind me, you gave me permission.

He was never a person to let his guard down.

But I can’t just give up unconditionally just because my opponent is superior to me.

I just objectively assessed the situation between me and the other person.

You have to know something to deal with it or not.

By any measure, it didn’t seem like I could have an advantage over someone who was far more experienced and skilled than me.

Well then, there is only one card I can play now.

I decided to use what Kwon Tae-ho had given me very wisely.

I placed my business card on the table so the boss could see it clearly and then asked.

“Boss, why did you do that?”
