The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 349



Only Noblemtl

Episode 349. Taesung Chemistry (2)

Chae Kyung-jun is not bad in the role of adding tension to the previously lax vice president.

It’s a bit out of place for the vice chairman of Taesung Group, the second largest conglomerate in South Korea, to be the team leader.

If that were Chae Kyung-jun, it wouldn’t be something to be so sorry about.

Since his seniority is low now, he cannot be promoted right away, so he is just being promoted to team leader.

It is certain that he will soon be promoted to executive position.

That was the common opinion of the executives.

That’s why the fact that Chae Kyung-jun attacked the vice president was so burdensome.

Even if they were to pull down the vice president and put someone else up, that would be understandable.

There is no one to replace the Vice President now, so attacking him blindly is definitely not something a smart person would do.

If this is the Chairman’s intention, if it is to give him a trial, the Vice Chairman will safely ascend to the position of Chairman unless any major flaws are discovered.

It is certain that the person who was your enemy will rise to the top.

Chae Kyung-jun was in the perfect position to be abandoned.

But they say it’s not a throwaway.

It meant one thing.

The idea is to give him the same power as the vice president.

“If the Vice Chairman takes over the Chairman position in the future, he will not leave Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun alone. His future will be blocked.”

-There’s no way he couldn’t have calculated that. He’ll be given enough power to withstand the Vice President’s checks and balances.

“It could be the opposite. It could be that they are raising Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun in order to keep the Vice Chairman in check.”

– That’s a possible story. The chairman is someone who prepares for many things. He also needs someone to assist the vice chairman.

“Currently, President Gam Bae-seop and President Kwon Tae-ho are acting as the chairman’s right and left arms, but they are both getting old. There will be a generational change someday.”

– Of course, the vice president has confidants, but I guess you also thought that they needed to play a check-and-balance role.

The two continued to speak as if their thoughts were in sync.

And the results of that discussion also led to one thing.

“Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun should never be turned into an enemy.”

-That’s what I mean.

I understand why you call me so early in the morning to give me advice.

If it weren’t for Yang Jeong-hun’s story, Shin Byeong-seop would have naturally thought of Chae Gyeong-jun as a loser.

It would have been natural for him not to cooperate, and he would not have hesitated to turn Chae Kyung-jun into an enemy.

What’s the use of worrying about the feelings of someone who’s going to get kicked out anyway?

But now the situation is reversed.

Although Shin Byeong-seop himself is on the vice chairman’s side, that doesn’t mean he should blindly be hostile to Chae Kyung-jun.

Considering the chairman’s intentions, Chae Kyung-jun will undoubtedly become an important confidant and check on the vice chairman in the future.

At this point, I started to feel grateful for Yang Jeong-hoon’s call.

“Thank you. I almost got in big trouble.”

-you’re welcome.

From Shin Byeong-seop’s perspective, it was groundwork to make Chae Kyung-jun’s work a little easier, but it wasn’t a bad call for Shin Byeong-seop either.

Now there was only one thing left.

“The problem is how Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun will react. He is currently in a hostile position toward the Vice Chairman. If he decides to raid Taesung Chemical, we will inevitably suffer damage.”

-You don’t have to worry about that either. Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun is not your enemy.

I understand what you mean.

But Shin Byeong-seop wanted to be sure.

“Specifically.”

-I can’t go into detail, but we at Taesung Bio also had a bit of a difficult time.

Even though it was something that would become known soon, it was impossible to reveal sensitive information such as creative accounting to the outside world.

The same applies even if the other party is the president of an affiliate company.

So I muddled through.

Shin Byeong-seop understood that too.

It might be because we are in the same situation.

– It was something that could have been easily taken as a weakness of our company. Team leader Chae Kyung-jun came up with a solution together. We have no intention of turning any company into an enemy. If you think about it, it’s only natural.

“okay.”

The position of a problem solver is very ambiguous.

If you go to several companies and see the incidents and accidents at each company, that means you get to know their weaknesses.

The more you go around, the more enemies you will make. If you want to work at Taesung for a long time, you will have to conduct yourself very well.

Especially if you want to go up, you must not turn the mid-level executives into your enemies.

This was also Chae Kyung-jun’s task.

Go around to each affiliate, stamp your face, and establish yourself as a problem solver without turning the executives into enemies.

“Then I guess I should strike first.”

-Good luck.

“Thank you for calling.”

Shin Byeong-seop stroked his chin after hanging up the phone.

There was one thing I had in mind ever since I heard that I shouldn’t turn Chae Kyung-jun into an enemy.

The boss glanced at his watch.

It was still half past eight.

“I guess I have to hurry.”

As a result of hearing reports from last week, Chae Kyung-jun arrives at work at 8:40 AM on time.

Shin Byeong-seop suddenly got up.

As I passed by and glanced at the mirror to check, there was a warm-looking old man with a cheerful smile on his face.

* * *

“Hello, boss.”

The confusion was brief.

Because I was surprised because someone unexpected was waiting for me.

Chae Kyung-jun quickly regained his composure and held her hand.

Shin Byeong-seop opened his eyes slightly.

My first impression when I met the young man I had only heard about through rumors was that I could not let my guard down.

It was like that just a moment ago.

I hit the player on purpose, but the commotion only lasted for a moment.

She had a gentle smile on her face and her whole body exuded a welcoming atmosphere.

I’ve seen this expression a lot.

Especially for people whose jobs involve dealing with a lot of people.

It’s a fake smile that hides your expression.

If it looks natural, it means it has been used a lot.

I’ve gotten so used to it that I automatically smile like that.

‘He is definitely comparable to Na Jae-hong.’

Na Jae-hong, whose thoughts are clearly revealed, was standing out clearly next to me.

But he still couldn’t hide his gaze.

They call it the window to the soul.

The eyes were honest.

The moment we held hands, our eyes became intense and piercing.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

‘You looked into me? The team leader and the president?’

It was arrogant, but at the same time I was happy.

If I had to say, I would say it’s cute.

It was a look in his eyes that I had never seen before at work.

Judging from the atmosphere, it didn’t seem like I was meeting a second-year team leader.

It felt like I saw a senior executive from a competing affiliate attending a meeting of executives.

“Did you come after receiving the report?”

Chae Kyung-jun smiled sadly.

Shin Byeong-seop also burst into loud laughter and shook his clasped hands up and down.

It was intentional.

This usually causes the opponent to let their guard down.

But Chae Kyung-jun’s eyes remained the same.

‘Look at this.’

It wasn’t an atmosphere of letting one’s guard down at all.

There was a strong nuance that he would listen to what the other person said and then make a judgment.

The expression was soft, but it was like looking at a solid wall.

‘I don’t think I’ll be easily shaken.’

It seemed like I had to come up with a different number to shake it.

However, I had no intention of turning Chae Kyung-jun into an enemy, so I put it on hold for the time being.

“Yes. I think it’s about time we met.”

Shin Byeong-seop laughed out loud.

“Do you know how much I wanted to meet Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun?”

“You must have been bored waiting.”

Chae Kyung-jun also lightly accepted Shin Byeong-seop’s casual remark.

He knows that you are trying to lighten the mood and he responds with a thump.

He was quick-witted.

“I waited with excitement. I wondered when I would find it.”

Chae Kyung-jun’s eyes became sharp for a moment.

This is not a slip of the tongue.

It was something Shin Byeong-seop said on purpose.

“Did I take the bait well?”

It was a joke, but there was some truth to it.

bait.

Literally, the patent dispute with the small business was bait.

To keep your eyes from being drawn to other things.

“Don’t worry. I didn’t know you could find it so quickly and accurately.”

“You set the table and brought it to me, so I should at least eat it.”

Chae Kyung-jun thought about the tax investigation.

Before entering Taesung, whenever there was a tax audit, he would deliberately throw tax evasion information to the government officials.

Civil servants also need performance.

Once you undergo a tax audit, you will never return empty-handed.

I have a target amount of money that I want to walk to.

There are cases where people refuse to pay even a single penny and end up paying more taxes than expected as a crime of contempt.

So, we throw them food.

‘Need some results? Take this. Instead, let’s stop here and not tear any further. Call?’

This is an action that contains such an implicit suggestion.

Chae Kyung-jun felt that at Taesung Chemical.

As in Taesung Bio, Chae Kyung-jun did not freely view the data, but only viewed what was provided.

I would have expected that you would find it and given it to me.

The director’s words about testing skills from the beginning contained that nuance.

“Since you’ve come here, I can’t send you away empty-handed. You need to get some results.”

Chae Kyung-jun smiled meaningfully.

As expected, everything went according to Shin Byeong-seop’s plan.

He was moving on the stage he had created.

But up until now, I’ve just quietly moved as he wanted to see what his next move would be.

I couldn’t just sit still once he appeared on stage.

“I appreciate your consideration, but I still have a role to play, so shouldn’t I check it out?”

“I would really appreciate it if you could stop here. Then, who knows, maybe we can become closer.”

Shin Byeong-seop threatened with a smiling face.

If you don’t want to be your enemy, stop here.

But Chae Kyung-jun was not an easy opponent either.

“I wanted to be close to you from the beginning. Everything is your choice. What can I do?”

Shin Byeong-seop snickered as he watched Chae Kyung-jun, who didn’t even blink an eye.

This wasn’t made up, it was real.

‘Look at this guy. He’s got a lot of guts. Even the boss’s threats don’t work, is that it?’

Chae Kyung-jun said again.

“I have only one thing to say. I am here to help. If there is a problem, I will think about it together and find a solution. Isn’t that the role that Taesung Group wants me to play?”

That’s true.

The chairman would not have assigned the role of problem solver to each affiliate to find and exploit its hidden weaknesses.

I guess he assigned it to me with the intention of finding and solving hidden problems in each affiliate.

But that doesn’t mean that anyone will quietly reveal their company’s weaknesses.

Shin Byeong-seop had no intention of admitting it readily.

“Then wouldn’t it be enough to just solve the problems that have been revealed now?”

Shin Byeong-seop was still smiling cheerfully.

You can’t spit on a smiling face.

That is, if we are between ordinary people.

“Of course I will take care of that too. But I don’t know if you will like it, sir.”

Chae In-ha, who was listening to the conversation, said, “Oops.”

The boss was smiling so cheerfully that I forgot.

The person who gave the order and gave permission to steal patented technology from small and medium-sized companies was this person right in front of you.

Chae Kyung-jun had not forgotten.

Shin Byeong-seop tilted his head as if he didn’t know.

“Oh my, that’s a scary thing to say. Did Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun really come to help? If you keep doing this, what can I say?”

“That’s not what you came here to say in the first place.”

It’s not easy.

Shin Byeong-seop felt that way.

The opponent was aware of our intentions and intentions ahead of time.

Of course, it is an area where sufficient inference is possible.

But the speed was too fast.

It was as if he was looking into my heart.

Chae Kyung-jun stared blankly at Shin Byeong-seop and then said something casually.

“Don’t you want to tell me what the Vice President does at Taesung Chemical?”

Shin Byeong-seop, who was hit hard, momentarily failed to control his facial expression.
