There is no villain in my return 120

[MANAHAN LAW]

It’s a beautiful font that you won’t forget once you see it.

Olivia looked down at her business card and sighed.

“Why am I so unlucky?”

When I left the law firm and set up my own office, it seemed like I would be able to take on big cases and become successful right away.

But the reality was different. Even minor incidents didn’t come up very often.

“The big law firms are swallowing up everything, so how can a small office like mine survive?”

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

I held on to a one-time contract for five years, thinking that it would work out someday.

Just when trust was slowly being built on this ground, a major accident called the global financial crisis occurred.

Even the few contracts I had were cut off one after another, and I became a time rich person overnight.

“Should I just go to school and teach students?”

If I were a part-time lecturer, I wouldn’t have to suffer like I do now.

I let out another deep sigh and my phone rang.

It’s an unknown number.

Of course, I thought it was an advertisement call, so I answered it calmly.

“Yes. I picked up the phone.”

-Olivia?

“Yes. I’m Olivia. What’s up?”

-I’m Yoo-hyuk, who I’ve greeted you before.

“Yoo Hyuk?”

Her eyes, which had been thinking deeply for a moment, grew as big as lanterns.

“Gangho Investment Development?!”

-You remember me. When you have time, can we meet up for a bit?

“Of course. Just tell me the address and I’ll come right over!”

Baekje Hotel Lounge.

Olivia arrived 30 minutes early for the appointment and waited.

“Gangho Investment Development? Is this really true?”

I met Shinwoo wearing a mask at the World Economic Forum.

At that time, I didn’t know about the company called Kangho Investment Development, but I approached them without realizing it because of their sharp gaze.

I analyzed the company after hearing that they were making huge profits in the United States.

Kangho Investment Development is literally a lump of cash.

They made profits by picking only the profitable places without even listing them.

“What’s even more surprising is that they liquidated all their real estate before this mortgage crisis broke out. It’s as if they already knew about it.”

If that’s a skill, then it means you have monstrous analytical skills, and if it’s a coincidence, then it means you have luck given to you by the heavens.

I wanted to meet either of them.

“I understand that your company doesn’t have an in-house lawyer yet. Do you think they’ll hire me?”

Olivia muttered in an expectant voice.

Someone came in through the open doorway.

His tall, handsome face looked like something I had seen somewhere before.

As he approached Olivia, she blinked.

“……Student Kang Shin-woo?”

“It’s been a while, right?”

Olivia was embarrassed when Shinwoo sat down on the opposite seat.

“Hey, I have an important appointment today. I’ll buy you some coffee later.”

“I asked to meet you, so I have to buy you something.”

“Yeah. No matter who buys it, it won’t work today…….”

Olivia stopped talking and looked at Shinwoo.

“You asked to meet me?”

“yes.”

Shinwoo smiled brightly and said without any more hiding.

“I am Yoo Hyuk, the CEO of Kangho Investment Development.”

“……No, wait. Huh?”

Perhaps because he is a Westerner, his facial expressions are varied.

He tilted his head and scratched it several times before asking.

“How can that be?”

“I didn’t do it alone. Many people helped me.”

“……No, I thought it might be, but of course I didn’t think it was. It doesn’t make sense. But it’s true?”

I was suspicious when I met Shinwoo at school.

But I quickly dismissed it as an absurd fantasy.

Shinwoo checked his wristwatch.

“As you may have guessed, the reason I asked you to meet today is because Kangho Investment Development needs a lawyer. I think Olivia is more than capable of doing so.”

Her waist tightened and her eyes sparkled.

“But you can’t just hire someone just because they’re a representative.”

“Of course. If you want, I can do an internship.”

“That’s fine. I want to go straight into the real thing and see what you can do.”

“What if it were real?”

He handed her the envelope of documents that Shinwoo had brought.

It contains corporate information about Sanoh Savings Bank.

“I will meet with Geum Min-jun, the CEO of San-O Savings Bank, in exactly one hour. We will discuss the acquisition of the company there.”

“Kangho Investment Development is acquiring Sanoh Savings Bank?”

This is a difficult argument to understand.

But what Shinwoo wants from her is not understanding or questions.

“The appropriate amount for a 100% stake in Sanoh Savings Bank that I think is worth 230 billion won, including existing debt.”

“If it’s funds from Kangho Investment Development, then it’s definitely possible.”

“What I want from you, Miss Olivia, is not to reduce the amount. Please somehow conclude the negotiation with Geum Min-jun today.”

“Right now? How is that possible when mergers and acquisitions aren’t even toys for children?”

A typical merger or acquisition is not accomplished through conversations between representatives alone.

The opinions of investors, including major shareholders with management rights, are also needed.

“San-O Savings Bank is different. Not only is it the largest shareholder, but the management rights are held by Geum Min-jun. His decisions are the company’s decisions.”

Olivia nodded as she looked over the company’s financial structure.

They sprinkle it here and there and pretend it doesn’t happen, but it’s just like Shinwoo said.

“Is 230 billion the fix?”

“I don’t mind hearing more.”

Olivia nodded and looked at the San-O Savings Bank data.

After watching me for a full 30 minutes, he nodded as if he understood to some extent.

She got right to work, like a professional.

“Please tell us about CEO Geum Min-jun.”

“He is arrogant and greedy compared to his abilities. He also has a strong sense of superiority and believes that he is special.”

“That’s the worst. Even if you happen to acquire San-O Savings Bank, you don’t plan on entrusting its management to him, do you?”

“of course.”

Olivia nodded at Shinwoo’s firm words.

Just looking at the data gave me an appropriate corporate value.

It is not difficult to make a suggestion based on that assessment.

But winning over Geum Min-jun’s heart right then and there is a different matter.

She came up with several ways to do a merger or acquisition.

“In a company like this, no matter how much money is offered, if CEO Geum Min-jun refuses, that’s it.”

There is also a hostile takeover where a company’s shares are forcibly purchased, but it is not known how much money that would cost.

“Oh, really. It’s difficult.”

Contrary to her words, she chuckled as if she was playing a fun game.

“Let’s just try it out first. After all, you don’t know for sure until you mix with someone.”

Shinwoo got up from his seat.

And then it went up one level higher.

The place where I agreed to meet Geum Min-jun was the hotel’s business banquet hall.

Before she opened the door and went in, Shinwoo looked down at her and said.

“One tip I can give you is to not try to persuade Geum Min-jun.”

“You seem to be a self-centered person, don’t you?”

Even if you speak like a dog, I understand you perfectly.

Even if there is a path of thorns and a path of flowers, if he wants to take the path of thorns, Geum Min-jun will walk there.

A person who thinks of everyone else but himself as just an afterthought.

“If such an arrogant person is like that, there might be a way.”

* * *

Not long after Shinwoo and Olivia entered the banquet hall, Geum Minjun also arrived.

He brought along six lawyers from the company.

With only eight people sitting in the large conference room, it looked completely empty.

“Are you the CEO of Kangho Investment Development? Is this your second time seeing me?”

Geum Min-jun extended his hand, not holding his cane, to Shin-woo.

It is an attitude towards subordinates.

But Shinwoo glanced down at his hand and offered him a seat.

“No, it’s the third time. Do you do the reunion after work is over?”

“Hmm. Well then. I’m busy, so just tell me what you saw.”

Geum Min-jun took a cigarette out of his pocket and put it in his mouth, clearly showing that he didn’t want to hear it.

Olivia quickly ran over before the lawyers next to her could light a cigarette.

A clear sound came from the zipper lighter.

“It’s a good cigarette, so you have to use a good lighter to light it, right?”

Geum Min-jun’s gaze scanned Olivia up and down.

“lawyer?

“Yes. I am a lawyer for Kangho Investment Development, although it is temporary.”

“I came here with high expectations because you said you would take over, but is it really possible for only one person to do it?”

Geum Min-jun has no intention of handing over San-o Savings Bank to anyone.

I just wanted to confirm who the representative of Kangho Investment Development was.

I felt sick at the sight of his face, which was younger and more handsome than I expected.

He blew the smoke from his cigarette in Olivia’s face.

She smiled brightly, forcing herself to hold back a cough.

“I’ll be nice to you in advance, but I have no intention of handing over my bank for a few bucks.”

“Of course. I didn’t come here just for that reason. Could you please take a look at this?”

Olivia took an envelope out of her bag and placed it in front of him.

Among them were companies that had recently been struggling with financial difficulties.

These are the companies she was analyzing in case she could help.

“Why is this?”

“I understand that San-O Savings Bank purchased shares in Soryong Village. But most of the construction has been halted recently due to PF issues, right?”

“So what? You’ll do the construction for me?”

“That’s not it. If you look here, there are some decent mid-sized construction companies that participated in the redevelopment of Soryong Village. If CEO Geum makes a decision, he can take over these construction companies and continue the construction.”

At the plausible sound, Geum Min-jun’s gaze turned to the documents.

“Hmm. Sell San-O Savings Bank and move to a construction company?”

“Rather than that, I feel sorry about the redevelopment of Soryong Village that has come to a halt. I think that CEO Geum will be able to lead the redevelopment well.”

“That’s true.”

Olivia used the hints Shinwoo gave her very well.

After being kicked out by Geum Mu-san, Geum Min-jun is living in exile at San-o Savings Bank.

He thought that the only way he could be recognized again was to successfully redevelop the Little Dragon Village.

That’s why they used the money they had to buy redevelopment shares.

But not long after that, a fucking economic crisis broke out in the US and everyone died without a trace.

The situation is not good for Sanoh Savings Bank.

In a situation where funds were already being borrowed in a difficult manner, the interest repayment rate has deteriorated rapidly.

If the economic crisis continues like this, Sanoh Savings Bank will face a crisis again.

‘Geummusan will solve it, but I would hate that more than death.’

“I’ll pay a high price for Sanoh Savings Bank, so buy the construction company and redevelop it?”

“This is something only Representative Geum can do.”

Geum Min-jun smiled, seeming to like the tone, and asked the lawyers sitting next to him for their opinions.

“I think it would be better to first talk about the acquisition amount.”

“It is 230 billion won excluding the redevelopment share. Kangho Investment Development will take over all existing debt.”

It’s not a bad amount.

“And if there is a construction company you want, I will connect you with them.”

Geum Min-jun pouted and stroked his chin.

The fact that you’ve started to worry is a good thing in itself.

Olivia glanced at Shinwoo.

He nodded and added an additional condition.

“As you know, we at Kangho Investment Development have a lot of dollars. If you want, we can give you dollars.”

“Okay, but 230 billion is too little. I need at least 300 billion.”

It’s forced.

There’s no way there’s a fool who would take over a bank full of debts it can’t repay for 300 billion won…

“Okay. 300 billion dollars. Instead, let’s sign the contract today. There are so many people who are after our dollars.”

Not only Olivia, but also the lawyers at San-O Savings Bank were surprised by Shin-Woo’s sudden words.

It’s just an amount I paid once.

That amount of money could easily be used to acquire mid-sized companies and get them through the economic crisis.

The resumption of construction that Geum Min-jun wants is not a dream.

But he doesn’t like the fact that Shinwoo got involved.

“320 billion.”

“Take out the fan. I’ll give you 330 billion won, including an extra 10 billion won as a tip.”

Geum Min-jun’s eyes twitched.

“You’re being cocky because you made some money?”

The lawyers at San-O Savings Bank are busy.

Even though Geum Min-jun hadn’t made a decision yet, he took out the merger and acquisition document he had brought and started revising it with Olivia.

If this thing comes to fruition, it’s a huge deal.

“Sir, this is a huge benefit.”

“Shut up.”

Even if the worries grow longer, the answer is still the same.

No matter how much he racked his brain, it was clear which way would be the advantage.

The moment you don’t step out of your seat with useless pride, it’s already over.

“Okay. Don’t do it.”

Shinwoo tried hard to hide his smile by biting the corners of his lips.

The merger and acquisition agreement was drafted quickly before either party could change their minds.

Rather, it is the opposing side’s lawyer who is in a hurry.

Kangho Investment & Development has agreed to acquire 100% of Sanoh Savings Bank’s shares and complete payment of the acquisition price within three days.

As soon as Shinwoo finished speaking, he paid the 330 billion won the very next day.

The contract was perfect, so the merger was approved by the Financial Services Commission and the acquisition process was completed.

“Phew. How were my grades?”

Although the merger and acquisition was successful, Olivia’s expression is not good.

It doesn’t feel like I achieved success entirely on my own.

But rather, Shinwoo was surprised by her.

‘If I had been alone, I would never have succeeded.’

He would have kicked the seat and left before the moment came when Geum Min-jun would have been troubled.

It was thanks to Olivia that she not only catered to his mood but also suggested a better way.

Shinwoo held out his hand as he looked at her, who was looking at him nervously.

“Olivia. Please take care of me in the future.”

She opened her eyes wide in delight.
