The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 351

Episode 351. Taesung Chemistry (4)

Chae Tae-ik was not in a good mood.

This is because the rumors circulating in Taesung Group recently were ones targeting him.

“Vice Chairman, you said you had something planned? I’m disappointed. But I’m proud to be your closest confidant, and you’re keeping it a secret from me, haha.”

At first, it was from the president of Taesung Electronics who came to see me for work.

The fact that even the president of Taesung Electronics found out about it meant that the rumor had already spread as far as it could.

But it was the first time I heard of Chae Tae-ik.

Of course.

Because there was someone else who spread the rumor.

“Me?”

“……yes?”

“yes?”

“… … .”

After having a heartfelt conversation with the president of Taesung Electronics, Chae Tae-ik finally understood the situation.

And he gave instructions to the secretary’s office.

“It has been confirmed that Taesung Construction’s TF team leader Chae Kyung-jun is the source of the rumor.”

“… … It’s Chae Kyung-jun again?”

Chae Tae-ik frowned.

How could I forget the chaos at the training center last year?

Since Kwon Tae-ho was visiting the 5th training center, I went there to see who caught his eye and, if possible, to get their eye stamp.

But when I actually got there, I felt my pride hurt because there were a lot of CEOs with similar thoughts there.

I was angry because the guy who came running in a hurry, unlike the president of Taesung Group, looked like a swarm of bugs wrapped around candy.

Chae Tae-ik was the same one who came running, so cursing at them was like spitting in his own face.

It would have been less embarrassing if Chae Tae-ik had gone alone.

It was absurd that the presidents came rushing to the vice president just because Kwon Tae-ho moved one thing.

I’m talking about myself as well.

But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t go.

Unlike Gam Bae-seop, Kwon Tae-ho has never brought in a single person of his own.

If such a person had gone to the training center for a new employee, it would have been a major incident that could have caused a tectonic shift in the Taesung Group.

If the person who moved was Gam Bae-seop, there would not have been this reaction.

He’s the kind of person who scouts out anyone who seems to have potential.

In a word, he is a talent collector.

The problem was that it had to be Kwon Tae-ho.

From Chae Tae-ik’s perspective, Kwon Tae-ho was an important person that he had to catch.

Once you gain the recognition of the chairman’s confidant, you can easily gain the loyalty of other presidents.

It was, so to speak, authenticity.

Gam Bae-seop and Kwon Tae-ho wanted to make her their man no matter what.

Gam Bae-seop is relatively friendly towards Chae Tae-ik.

The problem was Kwon Tae-ho.

He took a stance of standing back and observing everything without forming a faction.

I can’t help but be interested in Chae Kyung-jun.

However, after that, the bosses couldn’t touch Chae Kyung-jun carelessly because they had to watch Kwon Tae-ho’s reaction.

After leaving Taesung Wellbeing, he went straight into the arms of his wife, Baek Hwa-seung.

The owner’s family cannot be touched.

That was the reason why everyone had no choice but to sit back and watch.

That doesn’t mean I completely ignored Chae Kyung-jun.

I was always watching Chae Kyung-jun.

Thanks to this, it was soon discovered that he had been spreading the rumor.

‘I don’t like it… … .’

I didn’t like it ever since I was in training.

It was because of pride.

Chae Tae-ik has been trying to win Kwon Tae-ho’s heart.

Not only did he want to inherit the chairmanship in style, but he also wanted to be recognized by his father’s inner circle.

But Kwon Tae-ho always treated Chae Tae-ik coldly.

Although Kwon Tae-ho is cold to everyone, he will soon become Tae-seong’s master.

Kwon Tae-ho, who maintained that kind of attitude toward himself, was arrogant and the object of love and hate.

Chae Kyung-jun, who immediately caught Kwon Tae-ho’s attention, naturally became the object of his love and hate.

If we were thinking about the future, we should have embraced Chae Kyung-jun, who is called Kwon Tae-ho’s successor.

But I feel bad.

‘You didn’t even look at me, and yet you’re giving all your support to a newbie?’

I felt like I was falling behind the newbies.

It felt bad to even feel that way.

Isn’t this just an inferiority complex?

‘I feel inferior to a newbie? That’s ridiculous.’

If I try to woo Chae Kyung-jun, my pride gets hurt, and if I try to get his attention, I feel nervous.

That’s why Chae Tae-ik held off on bringing Chae Kyung-jun in.

wee.

For just a year and a half.

In the short time that Chae Tae-ik let go, Chae Kyung-jun accomplished an incredible amount of work.

News about him came every day.

One of them was this rumor.

Just listening to the story, this is exactly what I felt.

-Fantasy X-Show! Let me show you something!

Why did you have to spread the rumor in this way?

Not only the employees, but even the management and executives seemed to be expecting it.

‘Cheekily.’

Chae Tae-ik hesitated.

Because the intentions felt impure.

It was clear that Chae Kyung-jun was supporting her from behind.

Who are you to dare to step on the vice president’s back?

Prove your abilities?

Doesn’t the fact that you’re already running a company properly prove your ability?

I also didn’t like the fact that Taesung’s senior executives were getting excited because of the instigation of the team leader who had been with the company for a year and a half.

It was quite some time after the rumor that Chae Tae-ik took action.

‘I don’t move because of rumors. I move based on my own judgment.’

It was time for the economic dinner.

It was time to do something as vice president.

It’s never because of rumors.

I deliberately moved when the rumors had died down.

But as if reading his thoughts, at the crucial moment, the secretary’s office delivered shocking news.

“The strategy room has been dispatched to prevent the vice president’s accident.”

“What are you talking about?”

Chae Tae-ik’s mind was swirling with chaos.

What kind of accident are you talking about? Did Taesung Chemical get caught doing something? And that’s why the strategy room was dispatched? You didn’t call them in person and tell them?

Chae Tae-ik immediately summoned the head of the strategy office.

“I just heard something strange. Sir, the Strategy Office blocked me? You’ll have to give me a convincing explanation.”

The strategy director, who had been listening to Chae Tae-ik’s angry reprimand as if he had expected it, opened his mouth calmly.

“That’s Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun’s plan. I have nothing more to say. Doesn’t the Vice President know better?”

The vice president, who immediately noticed the meaning, was dumbfounded.

Since it doesn’t move even when you push it like that, aren’t you going to push it to the edge of the cliff now?

Even the strategy director’s attitude was so solemn and pious, as if he was delivering a message from the chairman, that I was embarrassed.

Is it really that serious to convey the words of a mere team leader?

What about yourself who is listening to that again?

Taesung Group is going through a strange turn.

‘Why is it that when I move, he turns his back like a ghost?’

At this point, I thought maybe he had some kind of resentment.

It may sound ridiculous, but isn’t it that they see themselves as enemies?

There is nothing more unrealistic than saying that the vice president of Taesung Group is an enemy, but looking at the current situation, it seems that way.

“Vice Chairman. This is Shin Byeong-seop, the president of Taesung Chemical.”

“Connect.”

At that time, I received a call from Taesung Chemical.

A feeling of anxiety was rising.

According to information from the secretary’s office, Chae Kyung-jun has been going to work at Taesung Chemical for the past week.

When Chae Kyung-jun went to Taesung Bio, the strategy room raided him, and when he went to Taesung Chemical, he received a call from the president.

I had a feeling that this contact might have something to do with Chae Kyung-jun.

-Vice President, I have something to say about this plan.

“Wasn’t it going smoothly?”

-There is an opinion that patent disputes need to be handled more smoothly.

“Whose opinion is it?”

-This is Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun from President Kwon Tae-ho’s office.

My uneasy premonition proved to be correct.

Chae Kyung-jun here, Chae Kyung-jun there.

There is no such thing as Hong Gil-dong.

It seems that Chae Kyung-jun has been involved in all the important incidents of Taesung Group recently.

I really don’t know who the vice president is.

He was working more closely with affiliates than Chae Tae-ik.

He even gives advice.

‘Are you already imitating Kwon Tae-ho?’

As I felt sorry, a curt answer came out naturally.

“I didn’t know you would take this matter lightly enough to be swayed by the team leader’s words.”

– The person you’re talking about is Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun. He’s only a team leader in title. He’s definitely going to be promoted to executive position soon. Think of it as listening to the opinion of a prospective executive.

Shin Byeong-seop spoke to him in a soothing tone, perhaps because he noticed that Chae Tae-ik was in a bad mood.

“It’s only been a year and a half. What would I know about Taesung?”

-If it was an unfounded statement, I would have ignored it as soon as I heard it. The reason I am calling you like this is because Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun’s opinion is reasonable.

“Mr. Shin. I trusted you and left it to you. If you show me this wavering behavior, I can’t help but be disappointed.”

Shin Byeong-seop was taken aback by the more stubborn reaction than expected.

‘Is it really that bad that Team Leader Cha attacked the Vice President? Even so, it’s worth listening to his story. But, you blocked him completely.’

Even if you don’t like it, it’s right to listen to it first and then judge.

Above all, it was not pleasant to express my emotions as they were.

Even Chae Kyung-jun knows how to hide his emotions.

Even though he is the vice president, he is so emotional towards the president, who is his close associate, because he doesn’t like him.

Maybe it’s because I just saw Chae Kyung-jun.

Up until now, I had just let it go by saying, “He’s the second generation of a conglomerate, so he grew up like that,” but now I’m starting to notice things like that.

Shin Byeong-seop sighed inwardly and laughed.

-Team Leader Chae is on the Vice Chairman’s side. He was worried that what happened at Taesung Chemical might come back to haunt the Vice Chairman. I also thought there was some truth to that opinion.

I was a little nervous about the rumor that Taesung Chemical’s work was holding me back.

-Of course, everything is up to the Vice President’s decision. If you don’t like it after hearing it, you can just kick him out.

Shin Byeong-seop scratched Chae Tae-ik’s itch exactly.

Let’s build up our self-esteem. Chae Tae-ik pretended not to be able to win and came over.

“Okay. Let’s go in and see. I’m also curious about Team Leader Chae’s thoughts.”

I heard that Kwon Tae-ho is giving her strength by even giving her a professional secretary business card.

So, does that mean that Kwon Tae-ho trusts Chae Kyung-jun’s judgment? But what conclusion did he reach after examining Taesung Chemical?

-There was an opinion that the current method creates too many enemies. How about going with the method of acquisition or merger rather than stealing technology?

I was so concerned about trivial things that I was afraid someone would say I was a commoner.

Chae Tae-ik laughed heartily.

“If we continue as we are now, there won’t be any big problems, right?”

– Not right now, but you never know what might happen later. Your competitors could trip you up over image issues, or they could hold a grudge and try to block you with patent lawsuits. If you can avoid it, it’s best to avoid it.

From Chae Tae-ik’s perspective, it was something he had never really cared about.

If your competitors play with the media, you can pressure them in the same way, and if they file a patent lawsuit, you can harass them in other ways to make them give up the lawsuit.

Even if my guys fly and crawl, they can’t defeat Taesung.

He had no time to spare for the powerless common people.

-And this is just my personal opinion, but I think Team Leader Chae was the first to bend and come in.

“Come in bending over?”

– Yes. Haven’t you been at odds with the Vice Chairman all this time? You probably wanted to clear up the misunderstanding that you were hostile to the Vice Chairman. You said it yourself. You said you weren’t the Vice Chairman’s enemy. You said you wanted to help him. That’s the opinion that came out of the meeting.

“If you accept it, you can act like your relationship has improved, right?”

-Yes. It is not good to leave the impression that you are fighting with the successor of President Kwon Tae-ho. Please show some mercy on this occasion.

This was a story I liked.

I needed to become close to Chae Kyung-jun anyway, but my pride wouldn’t allow me to approach him first.

If Chae Kyung-jun bows first and comes in, even if it’s just for show, it would look good.

Especially these days, there were rumors that Chae Kyung-jun was attacking the vice president.

However, if he holds Chae Kyung-jun’s hand, Chae Tae-ik can leave the impression that he is a great person.

After finishing his thoughts, Chae Tae-ik spoke briefly.

“Okay. I’ll do as Team Leader Chae says. And tell him when we meet. I know you come to headquarters often, so don’t just leave. Stop by and have a cup of tea before you go.”

A look of surprise was conveyed over the phone.

-All right.

Since Chae Kyung-jun reached out first, there was now enough of a reason to meet.

Moreover, there was a sense of crisis that it could not be delayed any longer.

It was only a year and a half later, but Chae Kyung-jun has grown so much.

If we hold off here any longer, we might see executive Cha Kyung-jun instead of the team leader next time.

Chae Tae-ik muttered after hanging up the phone.

“It’s clear that my father is preparing for a generational change.”

Even Kwon Tae-ho, who had no successor, now has a successor.

Moreover, it is growing at a rapid pace.

It seemed as if the chairman’s seat was slowly coming into view.

Arrogance flashed across Chae Tae-ik’s eyes.
