The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 327



Only Noblemtl

Episode 327. Nobody Knows (3)

Taesung Bio CEO Yang Jeong-hoon felt as if his heart had stopped for a moment.

Why did you do that?

There’s no way I knew anything.

But I couldn’t stay calm.

This is a feeling that only those who have done it know.

My feet are numb for no reason.

My heart is pricked.

The reason he didn’t show it was because Yang Jeong-hoon was so skilled at controlling his facial expressions and emotions.

Yang Jeong-hoon broke into a cold sweat as he watched Chae Kyung-jun carefully observing his reaction.

‘This kid, have you tried me?’

Of course, I thought it would be a test drive.

If you knew something, you would have brought it up clearly first.

In this case, the question should have been, ‘Why did you do creative accounting?’

That didn’t mean they still didn’t know exactly what Yang Jeong-hoon did.

That’s why it was dangerous.

The other party is not sure what is happening at Taesung Bio.

But I noticed.

If we can get a few more hints here, it’s only a matter of time before we get to the truth.

As his thoughts reached that point, Yang Jeong-hoon suddenly realized that he was quite nervous.

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

I managed to block it with great difficulty, but in reality, this was nonsense.

The opponent is the team leader.

Even if an executive or president came, I would just ignore them and send them away, so how can I be nervous in front of my team leader?

It was something that had never happened before in Yang Jeong-hoon’s life.

But I had no intention of just ignoring it.

You’re the team leader?

So what?

With that much power and authority, you should be able to bow down to even a rank-and-file employee, not just the team leader.

Yang Jeong-hoon glanced down at the table.

A business card was placed on a well-cleaned table.

This is a business card that was left out for me to see.

Of course, it was written what kind of power the young man received.

‘I am CEO Kwon Tae-ho’s professional secretary… … .’

I’m so excited.

I never thought about why so much power was given to a single team leader.

You have to think about this the other way around.

If Kwon Tae-ho admits it, it means he is definitely not an easy opponent.

Yang Jeong-hoon erased Chae Kyung-jun’s image from before his eyes.

And on top of that, Kwon Tae-ho was added.

This is like a proxy war.

It is a fight between Kwon Tae-ho’s agent and himself.

The reason he didn’t come in person was because this was a fight between families.

Because the head cannot attack the limbs.

The idea is to finish it quietly internally.

Then wouldn’t it be possible to keep pretending until the end?

It took Yang Jeong-hun about 5 seconds to reach this conclusion.

For Chae Kyung-jun, who had to observe his reaction, it was a long time if it was long, and a short time if it was short.

Chae Kyung-jun wiggled his eyebrows.

‘There was no change in expression whatsoever.’

Although countless thoughts passed through Yang Jeong-hoon’s head, his outward appearance was calm.

But Chae Kyung-jun no longer looks at only appearances.

What was significant was that it took five seconds for Yang Jeong-hoon to answer.

“Well, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

A snicker came out.

Chae Kyung-jun didn’t bother to hide his smile.

Yang Jeong-hun asked, looking puzzled.

“What’s wrong? Did I say something funny?”

Chae Kyung-jun smiled faintly.

“Yes. Actually, we stopped by Taesung Security yesterday before coming here.”

Somehow, a feeling of uneasiness crossed my mind.

The experience he had accumulated over many years was telling Yang Jeong-hun.

Something is going wrong.

“I asked the president of Taesung Security a similar question yesterday. Do you know what his reaction was?”

“well.”

Surely that’s not how it’s going to turn out.

Yang Jeong-hun noticed Chae Gyeong-jun’s trick.

And as expected, he threw out the words.

“You’re angry. It’s not that I don’t know.”

“aha.”

As expected.

The two looked at each other for a moment.

She had a soft and gentle smile, as if she was looking into a mirror.

But in his head, a fierce battle of wits was unfolding.

Read the other person’s thoughts.

Realize that you have been read.

Use what you read to make a new number.

That’s what Chae Kyung-jun is doing now.

‘It was read.’

What Chae Kyung-jun was aiming for was largely divided into two stages.

Step one.

It points out that the reactions from Taesung Security and Taesung Bio are different.

Taesung security was clean.

That’s why, when I asked if there was anything fishy, ​​the boss got really angry.

Of course, CEO Yang Jeong-hoon’s reaction was not wrong.

You might say you don’t know because you don’t know.

But I deliberately compared the two reactions.

It was to see how Yang Jeong-hoon would act there.

But it was read.

Well, this was an easy number.

Then, the next step is:

If you’ve read this, what will happen next?

Should I continue to pretend not to know or act surprised?

Now that Chae Kyung-jun is untouchable, Yang Jeong-hoon’s next reaction can also be used as sufficient material for judgment.

It doesn’t matter if Yang Jeong-hun reads this.

The one defending now is Yang Jeong-hun.

In short, Yang Jeong-hoon is playing on hard difficulty where he cannot give any hints to Chae Kyung-jun.

‘If you give me even the slightest opening, he’ll come and stab me right away.’

Yang Jeong-hoon broke out in a cold sweat for the first time in a long time.

It doesn’t matter who the opponent is anymore.

I felt more at ease thinking of him as Kwon Tae-ho’s agent.

He is fighting with Kwon Tae-ho now.

Thinking about it that way, Yang Jeong-hoon’s current alertness and determination were natural.

You shouldn’t give even the slightest hint.

The moment you become confident, your opponent will start biting you persistently.

‘President Kwon Tae-ho is going too far. No, I guess I should be thankful he didn’t come in person.’

If Kwon Tae-ho had come in person, it would have all been destroyed a long time ago.

Thinking about it that way, it was fortunate.

Even if he is Kwon Tae-ho’s agent, it is certain that there is no evidence, so he just needs to overcome this crisis.

Yang Jeong-hoon said with a gentle smile.

“What’s the problem with that?”

“It’s not a big problem.”

Even though all the numbers were read, Chae Kyung-jun’s attitude did not change.

If we look at just facial expression management, even Yang Jeong-hoon would stick his tongue out.

Of course, it’s not perfect.

The sharp gaze or the observing, blank stare that is sometimes seen.

But those are things that don’t matter if you read them.

What was really important was well hidden.

The only reason Yang Jeong-hun was able to read Chae Gyeong-jun’s strategy was because of his experience.

Chae Kyung-jun said it casually.

“But it takes too much time.”

Huh? Yang Jeong-hoon was momentarily embarrassed.

I started to think back on the things I had said and done so far.

As I thought about it, it wasn’t something I could stop.

It was semi-automatic.

Did I make a mistake or did you give me some hints?

While I was replaying it like that, there was a part of my brain that was saying, “Oh no.”

I should have just accepted it right away.

Doesn’t the very act of hearing and thinking that prove that there’s something fishy about it?

Yang Jeong-hun was forced to stop thinking.

It’s already too late.

The problem was that I was thinking too much.

‘No, I was deliberately trying to get you to think.’

The two were engaged in a battle of wits, reading each other’s moves.

Naturally, you can’t help but think a lot.

I was already reaching my limit when I looked down to figure out the best possible result with the minimum amount of information.

In that state, Chae Kyung-jun once again gave her something to think about.

At a time when you shouldn’t be thinking.

It was a trap that Yang Jeong-hoon fell into because he was a smart person.

In fact, from Chae Kyung-jun’s perspective, he was being prodded from various angles.

If you get caught, that’s great. If you don’t, move on to the next move.

This was also something that Yang Jeong-hoon could have just pretended not to know about.

All you have to say is, “I think a lot.”

But Yang Jeong-hun wavered for a moment.

It was only for a moment, but they both knew.

‘It shook!’

‘Read!’

Chae Kyung-jun said with a sly smile.

“Can we get to the point?”

We’ve figured each other out anyway, so let’s just be honest.

That’s what it meant.

Yang Jeong-hoon glanced to the side.

That guy, Kwon Tae-ho’s agent, who was fighting on equal terms with him right now was a problem, but there was one more person in this place who should never be ignored.

Chae In-ha, the chairman’s youngest daughter.

If only Chae In-ha hadn’t been there, he would have turned to reaching some kind of agreement with Chae Kyung-jun.

Anything is fine as long as it persuades.

If only I could shut Chae Kyung-jun’s mouth.

But the chaining situation is different.

If she finds out, we can assume the chairman will find out soon too.

That was when.

Chae In-ha opened her mouth as she felt Yang Jeong-hoon’s gaze.

“You don’t have to worry about me.”

Chae Kyung-jun was more surprised than Yang Jeong-hoon by her words.

Chae In-ha has never intervened when Chae Kyung-jun was fighting with someone.

It’s not only to avoid being interrupted, but also because Chae In-ha can’t keep up with Chae Kyung-jun’s moves.

I wonder how far Chae In-ha has read.

Chae Kyung-jun, who was curious, decided to leave it alone.

Chae In-ha said in a clear voice.

“I’m worried that if I reveal something here, it might reach the Chairman’s ears.”

Yang Jeong-hoon chuckled.

The look in his eyes was like, “As expected, you’re two steps behind.”

“If you promise not to tell the chairman, then don’t even bring it up. You can always go back on your word.”

“no.”

Chae In-ha said firmly.

“Do you really think the Chairman doesn’t know?”

“Oh,” Chae Kyung-jun nodded.

Because I figured out how far Chae In-ha had calculated.

Chae Kyung-jun’s opinion was the same.

I came here because of Chae On-ik and Kwon Tae-ho’s recommendation.

Doesn’t the chairman know what the two of them know?

I thought I could use this to convince him later.

I didn’t know Chae In-ha would take it out first.

“President Kwon Tae-ho’s professional secretary has come to see you. You can think of her as President Kwon Tae-ho’s representative. Naturally, whatever we talk about here will reach President Kwon Tae-ho’s ears, right?”

“Is this what CEO Kwon Tae-ho is going to say to the chairman?”

“No. I disagree. Why did you choose Taesung Bio among so many affiliates?”

Instead of speaking clearly, Chaina asked a question.

It was a way to hide one’s own information while giving the other person something to think about.

That was also something I learned while watching Chae Kyung-jun.

President Yang Jeong-hoon’s mind was spinning with complicated thoughts.

It seemed like it was visible in Chae In-ha’s eyes as well.

“Mr. Chairman, you already know this, right?”

“Well, how could I, a mere employee, know what’s going on in the Chairman’s mind?”

Chae In-ha stepped out at the right time.

Now the worry is solely Yang Jeong-hun’s.

Chae Kyung-jun turned his head slightly and smiled faintly.

What I just said was even more effective because it was Chae In-ha who said it.

I know the chairman as a family member who carries on the chain.

Personality, mindset, and behavior.

On the other hand, Yang Jeong-hoon knows the chairman well as a businessperson.

When Chae In-ha’s questions were added to the chairman he knew, there was only one answer.

‘The chairman is likely to know what is going on at Taesung Bio.’

Now the baton has returned to Chae Kyung-jun.

Chae Kyung-jun bowed his head slightly and expressed his gratitude for Chae In-ha’s unexpected support.

“I don’t know what they are trying to hide after the president died. Let me ask you something. Is it slush funds or embezzlement?”

Yang Jeong-hun opened his eyes wide and glared at Chae Gyeong-jun.

My thoughts were getting more intense and I was half-found out, so my emotions were seeping out.

Yang Jeong-hoon didn’t answer, but Chae Gyeong-jun nodded as if he understood.

“No.”

Chae Kyung-jun was lost in thought for a moment.

This time it was blatant.

Yang Jeong-hun spoke with a mixture of resentment and frustration.

Suddenly, I remembered what the head of the financial management office had said.

“Even if Taesung headquarters finds out, they will praise me and not say I did something wrong.”

Yeah, he didn’t do anything wrong.

It’s slush funds and embezzlement.

What do you see yourself as?

Even Kwon Tae-ho would be at a loss for words if he saw his own efforts.

“I won’t do anything that would harm Taesung.”

Chae Kyung-jun’s mind flashed.

“You’re saying you did it for Taesung?”

Not for embezzlement, but for Taesung’s sake.

Several scenarios came to mind and then disappeared.

The speed at which results were reached was much faster than Yang Jeong-hun had expected.

“Or if you try to silence someone by leaking confidential information, you end up making a mistake and hurting someone.”

Chae Kyung-jun folded his fingers.

“They are afraid of the chairman’s wrath because they caused an accident that could lead to a transfer of shares in order to protect management rights.”

Chae Kyung-jun folded his fingers again.

“Or did some creative accounting.”

The wedge was driven in.

“Which one is it?”
