[Episode 143] The Appearance of Sejin Kang

Originally, it was time to meet Lee Si-woo and take the time to report.

But now, Lee Min-goo was in Seoul.

He got out of the car and walked quickly into a building.

“Are you here?”

“What are you talking about? Did you unilaterally cancel the contract?”

Seo Il-kwon, the director of Nuri Gyeonggi-do, closed his eyes tightly.

Still, what I was worried about happened.

“It seems to have moved from the Sejin tax office, sir.”

“… Are you going to do the same to Seo-il three years ago?”

“There are a total of four companies that have signed a contract with a company in the Seoul area, and two of them have notified the contract termination.”

The company that contracted for 1,000 trees to be used for arboretum suddenly canceled the contract.

That was the reason I came to Seoul even after putting off my schedule with Siwoo Lee.

“It is not something that Kang Se-jin can do alone. Who is that guy’s assistant?”

“My name is Il-chul Cho. I heard that he received an investment from Sejin Kang and set up a landscaping company in Seoul, but… … .”

“I have been very quiet for a year. Me or that guy.”

“Wouldn’t it be the first priority to inform the representative of this fact?”

Three years ago, when I was standing, I was helpless, but not now.

At Seo Il-kwon’s words, Lee Min-gu nodded and picked up his phone.

Unlike Seo-il, he had Lee Si-woo.

[Yes, President.]

“I think I’m going to have to cancel today’s schedule.”

[Did something happen?]

Lee Si-woo’s calm voice made Lee Min-gu’s eyes twinkle.

“I think Kang Se-jin has moved. The two companies that signed the contract have unilaterally notified us of the cancellation.”

[In two places?]

“I’m sorry for making this happen.”

[Are you going to meet the company that canceled the contract? Then come back.]

“I met the CEO of the company once… … .”

[You don’t have to. You don’t have to blush to meet me. Come back.]

“All right.”

Upon hearing the news that the contract had been unilaterally canceled, Siwoo Lee’s tone changed.

A chill felt even beyond the receiver.

Lee Min-gu hung up the phone and looked at Seo Il-kwon.

“The representative wants you to come back immediately.”

“I think it’s right to follow the president’s instructions.”

* * *

At the sudden news delivered by Lee Min-gu, Lee Si-woo made a cold look.

At that moment, Lee Moo-yeol realized that the atmosphere was unusual and bowed his head.

“This chief.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Cancel all plans for today.”

“May I ask what’s going on?”

“It is said that the company that signed the contract with Nuri Gyeonggi has unilaterally notified the cancellation. We will move to Nuri Landscape.”

The vehicle that was heading for Dan Yi Yuan hastily changed its destination to a place with Nuri landscape.

When Siwoo Lee arrived at the Nuri Landscape HQ, a familiar man was standing at the entrance.

“Ex-CEO Cho Il-chul?”

“Five! Seeing you after a year, CEO Lee Si-woo.”

The man who was staring at Lee Si-woo with his flaming eyes was Jo Il-chul, who left his post as Nuri landscape manager a year ago.

“We will never see each other. What made you come all the way here?”

“I am here to warn you to be prepared. Whoops.”

After being taken to the police station, Jo Il-chul never came to see Lee Si-woo.

Jo Il-chul has been grinding his teeth for a year, dreaming of revenge.

He wanted to return splendidly and give proper punishment to those who made him humble.

At the confident expression on his face, Siwoo Lee gave a faint smile.

“The method you did for Jo Seo-il is now outdated. Do you have any new plans?”

“This is just the beginning. Now, I will return the disgrace I felt a year ago.”

“I look forward to it.”

Chijik-

The two looked at each other and showed strong gazes.

Seeing the confident Jo Il-chul, Si-woo Lee thought, ‘True people don’t change’.

Overestimating myself hasn’t changed even after a year.

‘You should have carefully studied the next plan, rather than came to me blindly after work.’

From the look on Jo Il-chul’s expression, Si-woo Lee could realize that there was something secretive about him.

After Jo Il-chul left behind, Si-woo Lee, who came to Nuri Landscape HQ, said to Mu-yeol Lee, who was following him.

“The only thing that Kang Se-jin can touch is a tax audit.”

“No matter how much you rob, you won’t have any problems with taxes.”

“There is a saying that you have to knock on a stone bridge and cross it. Convert the non-field team back to the strategic secretary. Take a detailed look at the landscape of Nuri.”

“Okay, sir.”

“And leave me to the 2nd Team Leader, and this Team Leader to the Strategic Secretary.”

If Sejin Kang starts to move, you should be alert.

It should not be taken lightly of the power that destroyed Seoil’s landscape by metallurgy.

“I will proceed that way.”

“Come in.”

On one side of the office, there was a separate space with the representative room.

Si-woo Lee walked proudly and knocked into the vice president’s office.

Kim Seol-ha, a woman staring blankly at him, got up from her chair with a bewildered expression.

“I heard that today’s schedule has been pushed back, sir?”

To her question, Lee Mu-yeol, not Lee Si-woo, answered instead.

“Vice President, please hand over all of the financial, accounting, etc.

Kim Seol-hwa’s expression hardened as he asked for the account book of Jo Kyung-ho Nuri with a serious expression.

“Are you talking about as the head of the bodyguard? Or are you asking for it as a team leader in the Strategic Secretariat?”

“As the team leader of the Strategic Secretariat, I am asking the deputy representative.”

Seolhwa Kim nodded, intuitively saying, ‘Something has happened’.

He handed over the previously drawn financial and accounting books to Lee Moo-yeol.

After confirming that the data was being handed over, Si-Woo Lee sat down on a chair.

“When the representative arrives, I will explain it to you. First of all, I will listen to the deputy representative after today’s report.”

“Yes, sir.”

As the arborist literally hit the jackpot, the sales of Nuri Landscape Architecture were on the rise.

However, wood is an industry that consumes a lot of time and money.

“Sales are up, but fixed expenses are serious.”

There was a clear difference between the antique statue and the landscape.

The point of the junk dealer was that the fixed cost was low, but the return on investment was remarkable.

However, the arborist was able to generate certain sales at the cost of high fixed costs.

“The increase in fixed spending is… Doesn’t that mean the money is leaking somewhere?”

“Well… I watch it closely every day. However, as the CEO said, the fixed expenses in the two months have been higher than before.”

Fixed spending is rising, but strangely, there has been little to no replenishment of staff in two months.

There were not many purchases of equipment.

But I don’t know where it’s leaking, but my fixed expenses soared in just two months.

“Captain, did you hear me? Please check all expenses of Nuri Landscape. I don’t feel good.”

It felt like I was missing something important.

Lee Moo-yeol felt an unusual atmosphere at Si-woo Lee’s expression that something was wrong.

Nuri’s employees knew how good their CEO Lee Si-woo’s senses were.

The fact that he felt strange meant that he was showing signs of something.

“I will figure it out quickly.”

“The opponent is trying to attack Nuri by pinpointing the landscape, so we have to prepare as much as possible. Then the turn will come back to us.”

“I will keep that in mind, sir.”

He could never lose against someone with many loopholes like Cho Il-chul.

I don’t know what kind of preparations and plans the opponent had, but it was important to accept it first.

During the conversation, Lee Min-gu, who came down from Seoul in a hurry, came into the office with Seo Il-kwon.

“I’m home.”

When Lee Min-gu returned, Kim Seol-hwa stared at him.

I needed to know what the hell was going on and why Siwoo Lee was so concerned.

“Chief, what’s going on?”

“Two companies that had signed a wooden contract unilaterally notified us of the cancellation of the contract. I think Kang Se-jin is behind that.”

Kim Seol-hwa’s eyes narrowed at Lee Min-goo’s brief explanation.

There was no such affair.

It’s safe to say that this side will attack Kang Se-jin first.

“Director Seo, please leave for a moment.”

Seo Il-kwon, who came into the deputy representative’s office with him, nodded his head slightly at Si-woo Lee’s calm request.

He paused for a moment and went outside, and Lee Min-gu tilted his head.

“CEO.”

“Don’t trust anyone now. The people the representative should trust now are the vice-president and me, and the team leader Lee Moo-yeol here.”

All of those who were related to Kang Se-jin in the past could have turned into enemies.

Through many experiences, Siwoo Lee knew how scary both sides of a person are.

No one knew what kind of plan or thought he was making on the inside, even if he was trustworthy on the outside.

At Lee Si-woo’s warning, Lee Min-gu bowed his head slightly.

“The power secretary’s office should conduct its own investigation into the landscape of Nuri. You will have to conduct the investigation mainly on the people in charge and report everything to me.”

“Then turn the field team into a strategic secretary… Are you talking?”

“yes. This is more important than any other time.”

Most of the businesses currently in progress would not work without Nuri Landscaping.

From the incinerator cleanup issue to the arboretum, each one was an important project.

In the end, only when the landscape of Nuri is properly established will it not interfere with Lee Si-woo’s plan.

It was not long after he was sent to the investigation team and returned to the bodyguard.

“I’ll leave five of the bodyguards stationary just in case you don’t know.”

“That’s right.”

* * *

It was 3 a.m., and it was time for the office workers to go to work.

A woman with a glass of wine in a luxurious bar revealed her empty eyes.

“CEO, it seems that something is wrong.”

A bartender serving customers at the bar asked her.

“If I had just been in the mountains, I wouldn’t have tried to touch it… … .”

“yes?”

The bartender, who heard the murmur, asked in surprise.

Asked the woman who fixed her gaze on the glass without looking at his expression.

“Director Kim, I have a friend who has been in a relationship for over 10 years. But the friend stayed in the mountains and came out again. Then should I go see you?”

“If you have been friends for more than 10 years, you should go see them. Oh, have you ever had a fight with that friend?”

“Rather than fighting… It is correct to think that I unilaterally turned away from him.”

“Well… Still, I think 10 years is a waste of time. There must be a lot of time and memories we spent together.”

At the bartender’s words, the woman showed a bitter expression.

I went under a figure that was difficult to touch.

‘Lee Min-goo, you have another chance. I’m sure it’s under CEO Lee Si-woo… When you came out into the world, I couldn’t touch you because of love… … .’

It was a joy to see Lee Min-goo coming back to the world from the mountain.

If he had lived quietly, he might have gone to him and asked for forgiveness.

But in the end, Lee Min-goo was by the side of the most difficult person to touch right now.

A man in a neat suit approached Kang Se-jin, a woman who was drinking a glass.

“CEO, Cho Il-chul is moving as he pleases.”

“… Is it Cho Il-chul? I must have ordered you to be quiet.”

“It is said that they started attacking the landscape of Nuri.”

In case of an arrangement, he placed a character named Jo Il-chul by his side.

If Lee Min-goo attacked him, then he couldn’t help but suffer.

But it was unacceptable to attack first in this way.

“How did you attack?”

“They said that they went to the contracted company and re-signed the contract with a larger amount than Nuri Jogyeong.”

“It’s stupid.”

“Landscapers say they are buying worthless trees at twice the average market price.”

Whatever it was, it was a mistake to accept him.

I didn’t mean to just give you money to spend like that.

In particular, at the same time as Nuri Recycling is attacking Nuri Jojo, an affiliate of Nuri.

The times were really bad.

“I will destroy my opponent in the same way as I did when I was in Seo-il’s landscape… My opponent is different from back then, but it’s very one-dimensional.”

“They say they are showing signs of moving in Nuri Recycling.”

“but… There’s no way Mingu doesn’t know that I am the person who is funding Jo Il-chul.”

Lee Min-goo never touched himself in a year.

Now, when the landscape of Nuri is on an upward trend, was a golden opportunity.

“I think I’m going to touch Min-gu right now… … .”

“You are acting like an unbridled pony. Today, he went directly to the Nuri Landscape HQ and met with CEO Lee Si-woo and gave him a warning.”

“Hey, he seems to think he’s good-looking. It’s that man’s problem that he overestimates himself too much.”

Apparently, Jo Il-chul provoked Lee Si-woo, not Lee Min-gu.

“It is said that the Accounting Team of the Prince Group has been convened. And it is expected that the person who convened the accounting team is the chairman of the board.”

“ha… … .”

Kang Se-jin felt a headache and put her hand on her forehead.

It was not only because of his ability that he couldn’t touch Lee Si-woo.

Prince and Gangdong.

In particular, Insu-in, the chairman of the Imperial Works, was known for his close relationship with Si-woo Lee’s lover, Shin Ae-ra.

“We cannot allow Cho Il-chul to continue to have accidents. Things are rushing right now.”

“Just leave it alone.”

“CEO! The opponent is CEO Lee Si-woo.”

“Anyway, if Min-gu is by the side of CEO Lee Si-woo, we will have to bump into each other someday. It’s also important to know your opponent’s strength in advance.”

“… … .”

“Watch how Cho Il-chul moves, and if there is no hope, then we can throw it away.”

The man tightly closed his eyes.

Kang Se-jin’s judgment was clouded now.

She is so cold-hearted and sly, she used to show this kind of thing especially when dealing with Lee Min-goo.

‘The fact that Jehu Group’s accounting team has moved means that Chairman Insu-in will not just let it go. I’m worried that you’re thinking too simple about this… … .’

He was an important figure in the Sejin tax office and a man who was also an assistant to Kang Se-jin.

His name is Junha Shin. He was also a tax accountant belonging to the Sejin office.
