Episode 354. Broken Bottle (2)
The door suddenly opened.
The venue was quiet because of the sound of breaking bottles.
The thick door opened and there was a loud noise as people rushed in.
The security team quickly figured out what was causing it as soon as they got in.
Because he was standing alone and the green bottle in his hand caught my eye.
The people sitting around him began to leave, like an ebb tide.
There was a commotion as security tried to get into the middle of the rows of chairs and attendees tried to run away.
“Please wait a moment.”
It was Chae Kyung-jun who stopped the security team.
I looked up at the stage and saw him raising his hand to stop the security team.
There was a brief pause as the thought of having to drag out the dangerous person in front of them and the directive to unconditionally obey the orders of the person in charge on site clashed.
In the meantime, Chae Kyung-jun came down from the stage.
He was holding a wireless microphone in his hand.
“Team Leader, it’s dangerous… … !”
Although Chae In-ha desperately tried to stop him, Chae Kyung-jun shook his head.
The moment my eyes met his, my body froze.
It was a look of determination.
A drunkard is dangerous enough, but he’s carrying a broken bottle of alcohol in his hand.
What could be the reason for breaking the bottle?
Chae Kyung-jun must be stopped.
Even though I thought that way, I couldn’t easily hold on to it.
Chae Kyung-jun is a deep thinker.
It was the first time he showed emotional side.
It was clear that this moment was important to Chae Kyung-jun.
It looked like someone was trying to overcome something here.
Chae In-ha followed Chae Kyung-jun a few steps away, her heart pounding.
And then he nodded to the security team.
It meant to subdue them whenever they were in danger.
-Thump thump.
I approached the middle row, which was in chaos.
Now, about ten steps away.
It wasn’t possible to swing it around and cause injury, but it was close enough to reach if you ran out.
The security team and Chae In-ha began to get nervous.
“Yes. I am in charge.”
Blood was dripping from the bottle, indicating that the man had cut his hand.
Chae Kyung-jun saw it but didn’t react at all.
Rather, he had a very cold face.
Although his actions were clearly very personal and emotional, his attitude now exuded a sense of coolness.
Na Jae-hong was impressed, saying, “As expected, it was Chae Kyung-jun,” but Chae In-ha was nervous.
If he was really calm, Chae Kyung-jun would have hidden his expression.
He must have approached me with a gentle face that anyone would like.
He must be really nervous right now.
“I don’t think someone this young would be in charge. Are you really the one who ordered our company to cancel the contract and order?”
The man was holding a bottle of alcohol and smelled of alcohol on his person, but he did not appear to be drunk.
If I had to say, it was like I was drinking all day the day before and came out of the hospital with a clear mind today.
No, it would be a misnomer to call it a clear mind.
Because anyone who looked at the man’s bloodshot eyes would know that he was abnormal.
My eyes were spinning around.
There was a strong will to come and get someone.
“No. As I said before, I am not affiliated with Taesung Chemical. I was sent to resolve this matter.”
“So you’re saying there’s someone else who did something fucking shit to us?”
The moment I was about to tell him to bring that guy, Chae Kyung-jun spoke first.
“That doesn’t mean we can bring that person.”
“Why? What I want is an apology from the person in charge.”
“Because it’s not his fault.”
The man held the bottle tightly at Chae Kyung-jun’s extremely cold words.
Everyone who was watching the conversation looked at Chae Kyung-jun in shock.
What are you doing now when even trying to appease me isn’t enough?
Chae Kyung-jun spoke in an extremely dry voice.
“Would killing that person solve it? Wouldn’t it prevent the same thing from happening again? Wouldn’t it just be okay if someone else replaced him?”
“… … .”
“The person you should hold responsible is Taesung Chemical. It’s not an individual. And I’m here to resolve this issue on behalf of Taesung Chemical. I’ve been given full authority over this matter, and I’ll do whatever it takes to resolve it. So just tell me.”
The man fiddled with the bottle.
It was obvious on the outside that they were in conflict.
I really want to just do it, but what’s in front of me is a young man who has no interest in me.
He said he was in charge, but doesn’t everyone know that?
There is someone who gives orders and someone else who cleans up the mess.
What good would it do to harm a young man who obviously came out to get cursed at?
If it was someone who made a decision that would ruin his own company, he would have swung a piece of glass without hesitation.
“Fuck, I want an apology from the person in charge! Not a scapegoat!”
A man who couldn’t do anything exploded with anger.
When it didn’t seem like anything was going to happen right away, people started to relax a little and sympathize with the man.
“Call the boss!”
“The guy who made a contract with me! I have to see that guy’s face!”
“Where did you bring a young kid with you and sell drugs, calling him the person in charge? Are you guys human? Huh?”
“What are you doing putting a kid who doesn’t know anything in front of you?”
Since they were small and medium-sized business owners who had experienced the ups and downs of society, it was natural for them to think of them as scapegoats.
What I didn’t like was that there was no manager or head of department in the conference room.
The misunderstanding was even more likely because Chae In-ha and Na Jae-hong, who came in as assistants, were also young.
They probably just tried to sweet talk the ignorant young man into leading the way.
And now that this kind of place has been created, people will once again talk about coexistence and cooperation.
Although some of the CEOs were worried about Chae Kyung-jun’s situation, the attendees who followed them were not.
People like vice presidents, directors, plant managers, and site managers.
They were in no position to think of themselves as scapegoats or losers.
“What can you do? Why are you talking about being in charge when you can’t do anything?”
“Can you give me back the technology? Can you pay off my debt? Can you give me back my factory? Huh?”
Because he was down on the platform, Chae Kyung-jun was instantly surrounded by people.
Before Chae In-ha could even nod, the security team intervened.
To be exact, he tried to interfere.
Again, Chae Kyung-jun raised his hand to stop it.
“The president? I can call him for you. The person in charge? I can call him for you and make him kneel before you.”
“uh……?”
It was from then on that people began to feel something was strange.
Chae Kyung-jun held the microphone and told a scary story as if it were nothing.
“Do you want a salesperson who forces you into a contract and cuts off the deal? I can throw it in front of you. And if I do that, will you get back what you lost?”
Chae Kyung-jun’s tone was more sharp and dry than ever.
People who don’t know him might criticize him for being cold, but in reality, he was more passionate than ever.
My stomach felt heavy as I saw my father when I was young.
I felt frustrated and angry.
The situation must be hopeless.
I also understand appeasing people with alcohol.
But try to be an observer.
Do you know how frustrating it is to watch people spend their nights drinking and looking at what they’ve already lost?
“Don’t you need a way to make a living right now? You have families to support. You might feel better if you kill a few people and burn down the company. What happens to the rest of you?”
The crowd surrounding the young man, who seemed young enough to be his son, had dark faces.
I thought of my family waiting at home worriedly and of the bleak future.
Chae Kyung-jun pointed to everyone around him.
“Look at your tails. Is this normal? Do you know how much the hearts of those who have to watch you are burning?”
It was something I could never say without experiencing it.
People looked at each other with bewildered faces.
The tone is cold, but full of emotion.
He didn’t seem like a troubleshooter who had simply come to sort things out.
It was to the point where I wondered if there was a family among them.
The one who broke the strange atmosphere was a man holding a bottle of soju.
“That’s what Taesung Chemical did!”
There was no one standing around the man holding the ominous object.
Thanks to that, Chae Kyung-jun was able to easily meet him face to face.
Chae Kyung-jun took a step closer to the man.
“So, I’m going to solve it for you. I’m not a member of Taesung Chemical. Do you understand what I mean?”
It is not affiliated with Taesung Chemical.
As a third party, I meant to resolve it relatively fairly.
“You came from Taesung headquarters? Your arms bend inward.”
“I understand your distrust. I would do the same. How about this?”
Chae Kyung-jun looked around.
“As the person in charge with full authority, I will compensate you. In money.”
“crazy.”
“Are you finally gagging me?”
“Do you think money is the only thing that matters?”
The people surrounding Chae Kyung-jun exploded with anger.
But no one noticed.
Before they knew it, they were listening to the story of a young man who was no more than their son.
And even though he was closer to me than anyone else, I couldn’t approach Chae Kyung-jun carelessly.
A circle was created around him.
He was just a young man who looked to be in his late 20s, but his eyes were so fierce and his speech so cold that it felt oppressive.
If it was difficult to approach a high-ranking person because of his position, this young man could not approach him because of his atmosphere.
“Yes, it’s a gag. To be honest, we at Taesung can’t give you back your life as it was before. It’s already been destroyed. If we said we could, we’d be lying. So the best we can do now is compensation. Taesung has a lot of money. We’re going to pay you enough money as a technology fee to get you back on your feet. It’s a little late, though.”
I expected that they would just give me a little bit of a nose and then drag me out.
But if you can get back up again, it’s a different story.
It was a technology that couldn’t be protected anyway.
What if I could get paid right now?
It was refreshing.
“Taesung is buying it at a fair price, so he can confidently use the skills he bought, and you are getting a second chance, so you can start anew. So there’s only one thing you have to do.”
Chae Kyung-jun walked slowly and stood in front of the man.
It was within striking distance if I swung the bottle of liquor in my hand.
The moment their eyes met, the man felt goosebumps.
I thought it was me who was consumed by madness, but it was the opposite.
The young man’s eyes were swirling with various emotions.
Yet, there was absolutely no trace of fear.
‘What a little kid… … .’
I was mistaken in thinking he was a dry-tempered man just by hearing his speech.
It was like I was seeing a whirlpool of emotions several times greater than my own.
What could be worse than feeling like you’re in the pit of despair?
Is that possible?
Even if it were possible, such a person would not be in his right mind.
He came here holding a bottle of alcohol with the intention of killing someone right now.
Even more creepy was the young man’s attitude.
On the outside, he appeared extremely cool and calm.
No matter how turbulent the inside is, it is completely locked away so that it cannot be seen on the outside.
It was a mentality that could only be described as crazy.
The young man reached for the bottle of liquor.
The man could only watch as the young man took the bottle of alcohol.
“Just take a penny from me. That’s the best I can do for you.”
The young man threw the bottle of alcohol he had taken onto the floor.
There was a cracking sound as the remaining pieces fell apart.
The young man turned and looked around the room.
“Then let’s start negotiating the amount.”
