The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 336



Only Noblemtl

Episode 336. Judgment (5)

The manager walked down the hallway with heavy steps.

The way out of the president’s office and back to the office felt unfamiliar.

It felt like a typhoon had passed by.

My mind was blank and I kept feeling unreal.

The words I heard in the CEO’s office suddenly came to mind.

“What we need to get here is not Quintress’ call option exercise.”

“Quintress is not a Korean company and is quite large. We can’t do whatever we want.”

“It doesn’t matter whether you actually exercise the call option or not.”

“What matters is what the Financial Supervisory Service thinks.”

“We just need to set the tone in our country.”

“We have to show that Quintress is likely to exercise her call option.”

The goal setting was clear and the starting point was well established.

Since the desired location was already set, it was much easier to find a way to get there.

“We should contact the headquarters first, but if that doesn’t work, we should at least silence the Korean branch. Even if rumors spread, we just need to make sure that no rebuttal articles are published.”

“What do you want from that side? We need to know that to plan our operation.”

Sometimes I would suggest alternatives, and sometimes I would question the director, and we would make plans one by one.

I was on my way back to the office with that conclusion.

As time passed, a hollow laugh escaped my lips.

“Huh, crazy guy… … .”

The director is the working-level staff.

I’ve seen a lot of people who are good at their jobs and people who aren’t.

People who are wandering around, not knowing what to do.

And there are people who can immediately figure out what they need to do and what they can do, even if you just give them a rough idea.

In Chae Kyung-jun’s case, it was the latter.

Even the scope is large.

This matter is a major one as it affects the future of the company.

Even the director is dry-mouthed and his legs are shaking right now, so how much more so must the team leader be?

Although I have gained a lot of experience in a short period of time, it is only my second year now.

Originally, that point was when I was most confident, but that was when I was dealing with minor issues that I didn’t mind causing trouble.

Doesn’t Chae Kyung-jun know that his single word can shake the company?

I know it very well.

That’s why it doesn’t just end with finding problems, but also suggests solutions.

If we continue like this, we’ll just end up exploiting other people’s weaknesses.

That was what made him different from other employees.

If he had been acting irresponsibly for the sake of his own splendid resume, he would have withdrawn at the point where it was concluded that it was creative accounting.

And you must have reported it.

Chae Kyung-jun stayed until the end and thought of a solution together.

Even though it’s someone else’s company.

That meant that Chae Kyung-jun was responsible for his actions and that he was working for Tae-sung.

It is not limited to just Taesung Construction and Taesung Bio, but it is looking at the entire Taesung Group.

That was amazing.

‘He’s still young… … .’

From the manager’s perspective, he is incredibly young.

I don’t even remember what I did when I was that age.

Even if you go back to the office right now, there are a lot of employees who are older and more experienced than Chae Kyung-jun.

So, if we leave this task to them, can they do it?

That’s nonsense.

First of all, the weight and stress of the work is enormous.

One mistake can wipe out a market cap equivalent to 100 years of salary for an average employee.

Can anyone withstand that pressure?

You might think lightly that since it’s work anyway, the person who ordered it to be done is responsible for it even after making a hundred concessions.

Does that mean things are easy?

Absolutely not.

Will things get easier if you rush into them with a light heart?

Most people probably don’t know what to do or what direction to take.

The more I thought about it that way, the more incomprehensible it became.

‘It’s your second year? What kind of newbie is that?’

Although his title is team leader, his actual experience is only two years.

Since new recruits have come in through this open recruitment, they may not be the youngest, but they are at a point where they are about to shed their new employee label.

There’s no need to go far.

You could tell just by looking at the second-year employees at Taesung Bio right now.

Chae Kyung-jun is an irregular.

He was the most unique employee I’ve ever seen in my life.

No, it was weird.

‘I wonder if it would be rude to say it’s strange.’

But I couldn’t find any other suitable expression.

Because it was beyond his common sense to understand.

“Oh, really… … .”

The manager entered the office, clicking his tongue repeatedly.

A pair of anxious eyes were looking at him.

The manager said, “Oops.”

Now that I think about it, the director hasn’t given any particular explanation since Chae Kyung-jun searched the office earlier.

Instead, he went into the conference room with Chae Kyung-jun and talked for a while before immediately leaving the office together.

From the employees’ perspective, it was like a stranger suddenly barging in, looking through internal data, and then leaving with the director with a serious expression on his face.

It’s a bolt from the blue.

You must be wondering what’s going on.

The atmosphere shouldn’t be like this.

It was when the director tried to explain briefly because he couldn’t tell everything.

“Sir. Wasn’t that person from earlier, Mr. Chae Kyung-jun?”

It was an unexpected question.

The manager asked in surprise.

“Huh? Do you know Mr. Chae Kyung-jun?”

The employees began to chatter with worried expressions on their faces.

“Oh my, it must be real.”

“Chae Kyung-jun, why did you come here?”

“Didn’t that guy say his name was Taesung Construction?”

Rather, I was curious about the director.

I just found out yesterday who Chae Kyung-jun is.

When I heard that Chae Kyung-jun had barged in.

When asked why the Taesung Construction man had come, the president said this.

He said that Kwon Tae-ho sent him.

Actually, this is also strange.

Kwon Tae-ho sends people from Taesung Construction to Taesung Bio?

It was clear that there was a backstory.

He seemed to know the situation well, but he didn’t go into detail.

Because it was something the director didn’t need to know more about.

But how do the regular employees know?

“How on earth do you know?”

One of the employees showed me his smartphone.

An article appeared on the screen.

-Tae-seong’s groundbreaking greeting, done by a high school graduate!

The article also included a photo of Chae Kyung-jun smiling.

There seemed to be quite a few people around the venue, indicating that it was some kind of event.

Below that was a description that said [Provided by Taesung Group, at the workshop].

It is a picture of people laughing, chatting and having fun, surrounded by a lot of people.

The director couldn’t believe his eyes because he looked so different from the young man he had seen in the president’s office just a moment ago.

‘That Chae Kyung-jun, who seemed to have ten snakes inside him, said this?’

The atmosphere in the president’s office, where he had been preparing countermeasures with Chae Kyung-jun, was no different from an executive meeting.

It was only at the beginning that I was nervous because it felt so familiar.

The president also spoke freely about internal company affairs.

Now that they’ve figured out the biggest secret, the fraudulent accounting, what else is there to hide?

Moreover, the president had sworn to unconditionally take Chae Kyung-jun’s side.

The director explained all the materials that Taesung Bio had as if he was reporting to the president.

In the photo, Chae Kyung-jun looked like a very ordinary new employee.

It was to the point where I felt a sense of incongruity.

It was like seeing the CEO, who was a master at controlling his facial expressions, ruined by drinking.

As the manager made a mysterious expression, the employees began to whisper among themselves.

Perhaps because everyone was not in a work-related mood, they were all focused on uncovering Chae Kyung-jun’s true identity.

Indeed, Chae Kyung-jun brought a huge storm to our peaceful daily lives.

“But why did you search our company? Does that person have the authority to do that?”

“I was holding a business card.”

“What kind of business card is that? According to the article, it only says ‘Team Leader Taesung Construction’.”

“I’m CEO Kwon Tae-ho’s professional secretary.”

“A professional secretary…? Aren’t all secretaries the same? Was there something like that?”

“I was curious anyway, so I looked it up. It’s a secretary who provides specialized advice and assistance in a certain field.”

“I guess you’re the secretary who manages the schedule.”

The employees were all impressed.

“So that’s why you came to investigate internally even though it’s a different company.”

“Was there such a system in Taeseong?”

“It depends on how you make it.”

“Since it is a group with an owner, wouldn’t it be the chairman’s will?”

“It’s amazing… … This is the first time I’ve seen something like this.”

“This is not the time to be excited. We’re being ripped off.”

“Oh, that’s right!”

As the employees turned back to anxious expressions, the manager quickly intervened.

“It’s okay. I finished talking with the CEO while we were sitting together. There won’t be any disadvantages for us.”

The employees simply wrote the reports as they were told, so they didn’t know the exact circumstances.

The only person here who knew everything was the director.

“Don’t worry. I’m a problem solver who came to give advice to our company.”

The manager unknowingly brought the word ‘problem solver’ to his lips.

That was the only accurate word that came to mind to describe this situation and Chae Kyung-jun.

“and…….”

“Ah~”

The staff nodded as if they understood.

The manager applauded to clear the air.

“Okay, we should get to work now. There’s a lot to do. First, Manager Kang, I’ll give you a draft, so ask the legal department to review it.”

“all right.”

Although everyone was sitting in their seats, their hearts were in a state of emptiness.

When they realized that they were not in danger, they felt relieved and their attention turned elsewhere.

It’s about the problem solver of Taesung Group.

It’s a title you’ll never hear in your normal corporate life.

Of course, it’s not an official title.

But it was enough to pique my curiosity.

-Tadadak!

The sound of typing could be heard loudly from all over.

Each employee was tapping a messenger to someone they knew.

‘This is news! I have to tell the manager in the next department right away!’

‘There was a problem solver in Taesung too. Wow, it’s really amazing that a high school graduate and a second year student is playing the role of a problem solver.’

‘You’re going beyond affiliates, right? Isn’t this going to cause trouble for other companies as well?’

Even among the rank-and-file employees, rumors about Chae Kyung-jun were spreading secretly.

* * *

After the director left, three people remained in the president’s office.

When the story was over but Chae Kyung-jun didn’t get up, the president sat down on the edge of the sofa.

It was clear that there was more business left.

And the fact that he waited until the manager left meant that it was a secret story he wanted to tell only to the president.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

The president’s attitude became extremely polite.

Since he unconditionally sided with Chae Kyung-jun, the president treated him like a superior.

However, that does not mean that he lowered his stance without thinking.

He maintained a respectful attitude toward Chae Kyung-jun without losing his dignity.

Lift up others without lowering yourself.

He deserved to sit in the CEO’s seat.

Chae Kyung-jun glanced at Chae In-ha.

When Chae In-ha nodded, Chae Kyung-jun opened his mouth without hesitation.

“I’m thinking of doing something a little rude to Vice Chairman Chae Tae-ik.”

“……yes.”

The president’s face became slightly clouded.

But he didn’t say anything.

Since he had decided to take sides unconditionally, he had to listen to Chae Kyung-jun, no matter who he was talking to.

‘I didn’t know it would come out this strong from the start.’

It’s as if they did some math.

If that’s true, then how big a picture does this young man have in mind?

It’s like watching the process of fitting each piece together to complete a picture.

The president waited for Chae Kyung-jun’s next words with a hardened face.

“I need the CEO to help me out while I’m making excuses for the strategy room.”

“I will do my best. What should I do?”

Chae Kyung-jun spoke in a calm tone that was completely different from before.

“The Vice Chairman almost caused an accident at Taesung Bio, so the Strategy Office came to take care of it. Please spread this rumor.”

crazy.

The president swallowed the curse that was rising to his throat.

As expected, it was on an unpredictable scale.
