The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 328

Episode 328. Nobody Knows (4)

Yang Jeong-hun thought.

Stop, you have to stop thinking.

It’s the same as before.

But this time, it wasn’t meant to be a surprise attack.

It was a verification task.

Chae Kyung-jun was already almost certain about Taesung Bio.

I couldn’t just throw in the boss’s reaction here.

But a bitter smile came out of me.

‘Why did you have to choose that?’

All three were possible stories.

If we try to guess from an unknown perspective, there are many possible cases.

The correct answer was right there.

Should I say it was fate or should I say I had a good feeling?

No, it’s not that uncertain.

Chae Kyung-jun thoroughly considered all the possible scenarios and only threw out the three with the highest probability.

If you calculated it the right way, it is only natural that you will get closer to the correct answer.

“Well, that’s an interesting story.”

Yang Jeong-hoon had no intention of making the same mistake twice.

But Chae Kyung-jun also knows that.

I’ve already been through it once, so I’m not the type of person to be through it again.

It was an immediate answer, but Chae Kyung-jun neatly ignored it.

“Are any of the three correct? No?”

“You talk as if you’ve left the answer up to me.”

Chae Kyung-jun narrowed his eyes.

It was a good thing I visited a clean company in advance.

If you came right here, it might have been a little harder to notice.

Comparing it to Taesung Security, I saw that although it was the same situation, there were some differences.

Of course, each person has different tendencies and personalities, so reactions may vary.

So I looked at it with that in mind.

‘What was the president of Taesung Security like?’

When compared to him as a reference point, Yang Jeong-hoon’s reaction was 180 degrees different.

Unlike Yoo Hyeon-sik, who was upset and angry, Yang Jeong-hoon accepted it lightly.

Unlike Yoo Hyeon-sik, who looked on confidently, Yang Jeong-hoon has no intention of proving himself even in this situation.

Unlike Yoo Hyeon-sik, who called Kwon Tae-ho directly to protest, Yang Jeong-hoon tries to negotiate with Chae Gyeong-jun.

Unlike Yoo Hyeon-sik, who fought back and forth but did not delve deep, Yang Jeong-hoon is even fighting with Chae Kyung-jun.

If you take them apart and look at them one by one, they are all trivial matters.

Since he is such a gentle person, I could just let it go without saying anything.

They may be trying to resolve the issue through dialogue alone, as they feel there is no need to prove anything.

But the two below are suspicious no matter how I think about it.

First of all, the title is Kwon Tae-ho’s secretary.

It is true that neither the team leader nor the secretary are qualified to talk to the president.

It was right to protest to Kwon Tae-ho, who was nominally my superior.

But the one thing that stands out is that you’re not calling.

I’m avoiding calls with Kwon Tae-ho.

‘So Kwon Tae-ho is scarier than me.’

The team leader and secretary somehow managed to get Tyler to send him back.

But Kwon Tae-ho cannot be fooled.

That is the result of thinking that way.

Finally, the water fight.

Compared to Taesung Security, this was the most questionable.

‘What on earth am I fighting about that’s giving me such a headache?’

I would have understood if you had just sent me back after yelling at me.

How dare a team leader come to the CEO’s office and make such an impudent request?

But that’s not it either.

He was having a conversation while listening to the whole story politely.

They are reading each other’s minds and calculating how the other person will react.

Even if he came as Kwon Tae-ho’s representative, is it really right for the president to do this to a team leader?

The more seriously the president treated him, the more Chae Kyung-jun’s suspicions grew.

And there is no way Yang Jeong-hoon wouldn’t know that atmosphere.

Even though we know it, there is no way out now.

There is no choice but to ignore it.

“Boss. You know that the more you do this, the more confident I become, right?”

The problem is that the more Yang Jeong-hoon acts like that, the more it becomes a basis for Chae Kyung-joon.

Yang Jeong-hoon knew it too.

That I’m increasingly being pushed into a corner.

There is only one thing left.

How to open Yang Jeong-hoon’s mouth.

“Boss. You clearly said this earlier. You won’t do anything that will harm Taesung. So whatever you did, it must have been a decision for Taesung’s sake.”

Chae Kyung-jun leaned his upper body forward and crossed his arms.

“To be honest, I don’t care if it benefits the company.”

Yang Jeong-hoon laughed heartily.

But this was a desperate move to manage one’s expression.

Because I felt like if I didn’t do anything, my emotions would show.

“But the reason why it is difficult to reveal it easily is probably because it is illegal or something that is difficult to tolerate within Taesung. So I would like to ask. Do you really think that you can hide it until the end, sir?”

This is what Yang Jeong-hun feared the most.

As Chae In-ha said earlier, if the chairman already knows.

This conversation is meaningless.

It might be better to go to the chairman’s office right now, kneel down, and apologize.

But the reason why he couldn’t do that was because of Chae Kyung-jun.

What if no one actually knows?

What if Chae Kyung-jun is just floating around?

It’s no different from falling into his trap and turning myself in.

‘You’re being unnecessarily smart and confusing me.’

This all happened because Chae Kyung-jun was a much more capable guy than expected.

Of course, if he had come from the position of an ordinary secretary, Yang Jeong-hoon would not have been driven to this extent.

I didn’t know I would be pushed around like this by my team leader and secretary.

But on the other hand, I also felt like it might be a trap because Chae Kyung-jun was so smart.

If you look at the conversations that have taken place so far and the fighting that has taken place underneath, he is more than capable of setting traps.

It was understandable for Yang Jeong-hun to be suspicious.

Because I pushed so hard that I became so used to it.

If you think about it calmly, Chae Kyung-jun has no evidence right now.

It’s just pushing forward with guesses.

“If the Chairman really knew, why didn’t he tell me directly?”

Chae Kyung-jun answered with an expression that said, “What kind of stupid thing are you talking about?”

He is less adept at controlling his facial expressions than Yang Jeong-hoon.

Although it wasn’t intentional, this expression on her face confused Yang Jeong-hoon even more.

“I don’t know if the chairman knows or not. But it’s not like you have to check that to calculate it. If the chairman doesn’t know about the internal affairs of Taesung, that’s a problem in itself. Let’s assume he knows.”

Chae Kyung-jun spread his index finger while keeping his fingers crossed and pointed at Yang Jeong-hoon.

“It’s obvious that they don’t mention it directly. They want to keep it quiet internally.”

Yang Jeong-hoon also guessed it.

And it seemed plausible.

The same goes for Kwon Tae-ho.

The reason he sent an agent instead of contacting me directly is probably because he wanted to handle it quietly.

For now, that was certain.

‘How much does CEO Kwon Tae-ho know about our company’s internal affairs? I don’t know, but it’s certain that he’s suspicious.’

There is no faction that can be called Kwon Tae-ho’s people.

Recently, as Chae Kyung-jun became a little more famous, he was recognized as a Kwon Tae-ho person.

Even though Kwon Tae-ho was like that, it wasn’t like there was no one he could use.

You can even send a secretary from your own secretariat, or you can ask the strategic planning office, which still exerts influence, to send someone.

But I sent Chae Kyung-jun on purpose.

There must be some meaning there, too.

‘President Kwon is warning me.’

Yang Jeong-hoon let out a small sigh.

This time, it was a sigh let out so that everyone could hear.

The moment he heard that, Chae Kyung-jun nodded.

This gave me confidence.

Yang Jeong-hoon’s response is evidence of that.

“Please teach me clearly. It’s better than having it revealed later.”

At first glance, Chae Kyung-jun’s words seemed reasonable.

Rather than getting caught later, it’s better to turn yourself in now and find light.

But Yang Jeong-hun’s head was spinning more fiercely than ever.

‘You want me to confess now? It’s the same whether I tell you now or get caught later.’

It’s creative accounting.

If you get caught, you’ll be fired, of course.

It doesn’t end there.

This is a problem that requires living in prison.

Even if you confess now, you’ll only get a little leniency.

The creative accounting has already been done and cannot be undone.

Because once the books are closed, it’s over.

I can’t go back, so what difference will it make if I say it now?

Yang Jeong-hoon chuckled.

“My conclusion remains unchanged.”

Chae Kyung-jun’s face darkened.

It was the first shade cast.

I figured out what Yang Jeong-hoon was thinking.

“Do you really have to go that far?”

I will keep my mouth shut until the end.

Besides, there is now no room for persuasion.

The fact that he didn’t give up even when the chairman was mentioned meant that his will was firm.

And one more thing.

“You have crossed a river of no return.”

It was a major accident that was difficult to even report to higher-ups.

That was the only way I could think of it.

Chae Kyung-jun stood up and said.

“Okay, then you know how things will go from here, right?”

Yang Jeong-hun gritted his teeth.

I know but I’ll go all the way.

It will hold up.

I’ll take a chance on that possibility.

There is a possibility that the Chairman and Kwon Tae-ho only have circumstantial evidence but no physical evidence.

“Then I will prepare and come back to see you again. I hope to hear your true feelings then.”

Chae Kyung-jun and Chae In-ha left the president’s office with bitter expressions on their faces.

Yang Jeong-hoon, left alone, clenched his fist and repeatedly struck the armrest.

Boom, boom.

Every time the sound rang, Yang Jeong-hun’s face slowly distorted.

As if he was beating and breaking something.

“There is no confirmation. You wouldn’t know unless you looked at internal data. Even if you are Kwon Tae-ho, you can’t turn the affiliates upside down without confirmation. Just hold on like this. No one knows, no one will know.”

The last one was something he said to himself.

* * *

Yang Jeong-hoon deliberately contacted the security team to make sure the two guests left.

I was worried that they might do something once they got inside, but fortunately, the two of them left the building right away.

As soon as the guests left, Yang Jeong-hoon called the head of the financial management office.

As soon as the director heard what had happened, he first asked two questions.

“Are you saying that you left right away without stopping by the relevant department?”

“is it so.”

“Why did you go right away? If that team leader was really smart, he wouldn’t have missed this opportunity.”

“I wondered about that too.”

There is no guarantee that barging into a department will allow you to view internal documents.

However, Chae Kyung-jun has the title of Kwon Tae-ho’s secretary.

It’s possible that a frightened official might slip up and reveal information without realizing it.

It’s well worth a shot.

This is especially true if you have the courage and clarity to storm into the CEO’s office and take a look.

If you lose, you get what you pay for, and if you stab and reap some rewards, you gain something.

There is no guarantee that you will be able to visit again later.

Because from today onwards, the boss will refuse any requests to talk to either of you.

You won’t be able to set foot inside the company.

“I’m sure you expected it, but I’m a little concerned that you just left.”

The director stroked his chin and made a dull expression.

“And another thing, it’s a bit awkward to gain confidence.”

“There was no way around it.”

Clearly, the president met me after preparing himself mentally.

I was on high alert because I had heard the rumor.

I neither looked down on it nor let my guard down.

Even now, thinking about it, I still feel empty that this result came about.

“I can’t imagine what happened to you, sir.”

It was a natural question for a director who had never met Chae Kyung-jun in person.

The boss was also frustrated.

I couldn’t describe the situation and atmosphere in words.

It was definitely a fierce fight.

Something intangible, not words, came and went.

As the president held his head, the director consoled him with a stern face.

“You don’t know. No, it doesn’t matter if you do. I told you, it’s a gray area. It’s been reviewed by experts. It’s passed an accounting firm audit.”

Objectively speaking, that was definitely the case.

But the president was not at all at ease.

Is it because of Chae Kyung-jun?

“There won’t be any problem, sir. This is a fight we have no choice but to win.”

The manager spoke firmly.

And the next day.

I found out why Chae Kyung-jun went back right away without stopping anywhere.

Taesung Trading Company’s headquarters was raided.
