The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 331



Only Noblemtl

Episode 331. Let’s Break Through (3)

Choi Byeong-in, head of the Financial Management Office, expressed his determination.

I was thinking of holding out somehow until I heard that the headquarters staff had shown up on the first floor.

But the moment I saw that crowd in person, I knew this wasn’t going to work.

This is because the person at the forefront was the head of the planning and strategy office.

‘Are you crazy? Why is the director coming to this kind of thing?’

If it was just the strategy office staff, I could have just pretended not to hear it, but if it was the planning strategy office director, the situation was different.

The opponent was a CEO-level person.

It’s not something a managing director can do anything about.

It doesn’t end there.

The fact that the director himself came out meant that the situation was not going well.

It is not simply a matter of sending a few employees to check out the situation or to gauge the mood.

This came out with the mindset of running the company with confidence.

It wasn’t a problem that could be solved by sending it back.

So to speak, even this is not serious mode right now.

If the headquarters decides to leave, the president’s position will also be in danger.

Because we have secured management rights.

As I was frowning, wondering what to do about this, the head of the strategy office shouted as if to make me hear.

“… … Our strategy room ends here. We won’t go up there.”

The strategy room is missing from the first floor!

If you just open the way and leave, it means that there are only two people looking from above.

The rumored Chae Kyung-jun and Miss Chae In-ha.

Both of them were a pain in the ass.

‘Rumors tend to be exaggerated, but that guy is just crazy.’

Even if you could cut down half of the rumors, it was not something a mere team leader could possibly accomplish.

These are things that even the head of the financial management office would be reluctant to do if asked to do.

I’ll probably be able to do it somehow, but it won’t be easy.

Rather, is it because they are young that they rush in without knowing what is cool?

No. The smarter one is, the more he calculates the repercussions of failure first.

He must be absolutely out of his mind to have done that calculation and then still made the decision without any hesitation.

The problem was that the chain was being chained.

If she were just an ordinary employee, I wouldn’t know, but she’s the youngest daughter, the chairman’s favorite.

That Chae In-ha is standing firm behind Chae Kyung-jun.

In fact, it seems like Chae Kyung-jun is the one doing all the thinking, but that doesn’t mean he can ignore Chae In-ha.

He is a human being who reduces his options simply by being there.

‘But that’s not the worst.’

If you go all the way up to the strategy room and start messing around, you’ll definitely get caught.

That was the worst case scenario.

But it wouldn’t be so bad if the strategy room stopped it on its own.

It was a bit of a turn-off, but it was better than the worst.

Of course, I knew that this was the strategy director’s plan.

After showing the worst case scenario, he gives us a way out.

Even though I know it’s a trap, I have no choice but to go.

Because all other roads are blocked.

Although he was being led, the director now had only one choice.

So I opened the way.

The sight that followed was truly spectacular.

As the strategy room staff had promised, they split off to either side, literally making a path for us.

It was absurd.

The strategy room that just opens the way and runs away, or Chae Kyung-jun who naturally goes up without even thinking about getting any more help.

I thought it was bold, but when I saw it in person, I was speechless.

‘You need to be at least that good to be able to rob other people’s companies.’

Seeing Chae Kyung-jun go up, Director Choi also immediately caught another elevator.

The goal was obvious.

It must be the financial management office.

I could see the head of strategy winking in the lobby far away.

‘It’s like watching a fire across the river when it’s someone else’s business.’

But I could understand his feelings.

If it weren’t for his job, Director Choi would be on the phone, excitedly telling everyone about this news.

It’s said that the rumored Chae Kyung-jun will attack Taesung Bio, so wouldn’t that be fun?

I never knew it would become my job.

Director Choi felt himself growing tired rapidly.

-Ding!

After getting off the elevator, I deliberately walked slowly to the office.

The first thing I did was to see how Chae Kyung-jun, who had gone first, would cook and stew his employees.

I thought I could persuade him like I did on the first floor, but I couldn’t.

He chose a very easy and simple method.

“I have permission from my superiors. Please show me.”

Well, that was permitted.

His very presence here is tantamount to tacit permission.

Using it like this.

It’s really efficient and effective.

They said they gave permission from above, and here is the proof, so what can you say?

The effect of the business card there was outstanding.

The employees panicked and then called their superiors.

Because it is something that you cannot solve on your own.

The bell rang very close by.

Director Choi had already entered the office and was leaning against the door.

The manager spoke with a tired expression.

“Show me.”

What happened next was a breeze.

This wasn’t my first time doing something like this, so the process of finding information felt very familiar.

What surprised me first was Chae In-ha’s behavior.

She seemed accustomed to chores, which was unusual for a daughter who was raised well.

He asks where the physical materials are stored, opens the cabinet, and quickly searches through them.

I picked out only the necessary items and brought them to Chae Kyung-jun.

And he personally reviewed the miscellaneous attached documents and only picked out the ones that seemed strange and handed them over to Chae Kyung-jun.

Meanwhile, Chae Kyung-jun was sitting in the empty seat and looking at the monitor.

Although the team consisted of only two people, the division of roles was perfect.

Chae Kyung-jun is the one who judges after seeing everything.

But Chae Kyung-jun only has one body.

It was primarily a filter that allowed him to view the data efficiently.

Of course, that is not an easy task either.

It was only possible by observing for a long time what information was important and what was not, and what Chae Kyung-jun mainly looked at.

Honestly, just looking at her appearance, she looked more like a secretary than the daughter of a wealthy family.

But that look strangely suited him well.

I thought it would be okay to submit it to Sabo as is.

The title also suddenly came to mind.

The youngest executive and his partner.

‘I don’t think it’s a ridiculous imagination.’

Director Choi, who was about to shake his head, soon agreed.

Speed? That’s ridiculous.

I’m not just talking about promotion.

In terms of promotion alone, it is true that there is still a long way to go, as I have only been promoted once from a rank-and-file employee to a team leader.

But there are other things to consider as well.

The fact that Kwon Tae-ho is giving him power by even giving him business cards, and the fact that he is wielding excessive authority to the point where it is difficult to see him as a team leader.

It’s already embarrassing to even call this a team leader.

What kind of team leader is that?

Director Choi grumbled.

Although it would be difficult to rise to the position of executive right away, it seemed certain that he would become the youngest ever Taesung executive.

Because what you’re already doing is no different from what an executive does.

That scene came to mind as if I had drawn it.

‘Come to think of it, wasn’t Miss Chae In-ha also there on purpose?’

Originally, Chae Kyung-jun would have gone alone.

Chain was the one covering it.

It’s not just about being by your side to keep you from feeling lonely.

Because of Chae In-ha’s presence, the executives who knew her true identity were unable to move.

If they had gone their separate ways, I might have tried to defeat them.

Although Chae Kyung-jun had a brilliant resume in a short period of time, he was still a team leader with little experience and thus lacked power.

Although she was part of the chain owner family, she was a young lady who didn’t know the ways of the world, so it was easy to fool her.

When the two are combined, the destructive power is doubled.

They were complementing each other’s shortcomings.

‘I don’t know who they really are, but they’ve put together a good team.’

Even in the composition of this team, I felt someone’s arrangement.

I don’t know who it is though.

It was clear that the future would be smooth for both of them.

Chae Kyung-jun, who lacks strength, pushes forward with Chae In-ha, and Chae In-ha, who lacks skills, gains experience with Chae Kyung-jun, a skilled field worker.

It was a combination that was so perfect it was almost unbelievable.

‘The problem is, what level are those two at…?’

I was prepared for the worst to happen and for my creative accounting to be exposed.

It’s been like that since I heard the news that the strategy room was invaded.

But after that, honestly, I don’t know.

How will Chae Kyung-jun judge the gray area that has already been reviewed by experts?

Do you even have the ability to judge in the first place?

‘If the rumors weren’t exaggerated, I think I would have noticed.’

This part was uncertain.

If your abilities are as proven by the rumors, you should be able to detect creative accounting.

But usually rumors are exaggerated.

Even if we figure it out, there’s still the next step.

Chae Kyung-jun must decide for himself whether it is illegal and whether it is truly harmful to Tae-seong.

Should we cover it up and move on, or should we dig it up and dig it up now?

Can that young team leader make that decision?

‘It might be possible once I gain more experience, but I don’t think it’s possible now.’

Taesung Bio is not a small company.

It is a 1st class affiliate.

Not only in terms of sales, but also in terms of the scale of the projects and the number of employees working on them, the scale is enormous.

Do you think you can decide the lives of so many people with just one word?

It’s not that easy.

It would have been easier if he had been a stupid third-generation chaebol.

If you just said, ‘Deal with it,’ the smart guys around you would have figured things out somehow.

But Chae Kyung-jun is one of those smart guys who can put things together.

You probably know that you could be cutting off the future of countless people.

What criteria will he use to make his judgment?

What did Kwon Tae-ho believe that made him give such an important decision to a young person?

I wonder if they were planning to adjust it later.

As I leaned against the wall and watched the two young men, all sorts of thoughts raced through my mind.

When I first took over the finance office, the same nervousness settled heavily in my stomach.

The future of the company rests in the hands of that young man.

It’s scary just thinking about it.

‘You shouldn’t be such an incompetent person.’

Now, Director Choi was planning for the worst case scenario.

Let’s say the creative accounting is discovered.

I don’t know how Chae Kyung-jun will react.

So we have to elicit his reaction.

Let’s just cover it up like this.

It’s a gray area anyway, so it’s not a problem.

Let’s go and ask.

Anyone with a reasonable amount of intelligence will understand.

‘Is that okay?’

On the other hand, one possibility came to mind, but it was so unlikely that I dismissed it.

It is true that Chae Kyung-jun has the ability to judge the fate of the company and is able to identify the problems of creative accounting on his own.

Since it is called a gray area, if interpreted differently, it could become illegal.

If Chae Kyung-jun has that level of clarity, it’s over.

Because there’s no way the director can be persuaded.

‘Still, there is a possibility.’

There is now only one way for Taesung Bio and the director to survive.

The director swallowed dry saliva and waited for Chae Kyung-jun to look through the data.

Chae Kyung-jun’s expression, which had been showing incredible concentration without even glancing at his surroundings, suddenly changed.

His brow furrowed and his hand stopped moving.

And then Chae In-ha started looking through the attached documents that he had placed next to him.

For a long time, he remained frozen in place, his eyes moving busily, as if something was not right with his thoughts.

Then he raised his head and looked straight at the director.

“This was it?”

Actually, I had guessed it from the moment Chae Kyung-jun stopped earlier.

That’s an expression of anguish that comes from the fact that the incident is bigger than expected.

‘Is this really true? Can this happen?’ I go over it in my head several times.

After thinking about it like that, I’m sure I’ve come to one conclusion.

What was meant to happen has come.

It was faster than I thought.

The young man at least had enough judgment to detect creative accounting.

It wasn’t surprising anymore.

The director shut his eyes tightly.

Now there is only one chance left.
