15 – Get the best of both worlds_2
“How does tea suit your palate?”
Sit on the opposite sofa located on the side of the chairperson’s office and ask with a smile on his face.
I put the black tea I was drinking down on the table and smiled in response.
“hahahaha, I don’t know much about cars…”
“Oh, that might be the case. Unlike our days, young people these days almost forgot to drink tea.”
“Isn’t the chairman also in his 20s?”
“Oh my, does it really look like that?”
Snow White smiled as if pleased with my words.
“Yes, to be honest, if I had met you without knowing that you were the chairman, I would have called you older sister.”
“Cadet Lee Seong-hyun looks like he has honey in his mouth”
“I will take it as a compliment. Than that…”
“Ah… I really did. Talking to cadet Lee Seong-hyeon was so much fun that I didn’t notice time passing and when I got older, it’s like this.
I forgot.
Honestly, it was obvious that he made me bring up the topic first because he didn’t want to bring it up first.
But what can I do?
I have to do that much to make Baek Seol-ha see you as an idiot who has just become an adult and an academy cadet.
“Yes…”
“For that matter, our academy also expresses its deepest condolences. We will make sure that this never happens in the future, and we plan to offer compensation so that the victims can be comforted. Regarding the exact compensation, through a later agreement through the agent…”
The words of Seolha Baek were meaningless.
What should I do?
What and how would you improve? It was a principled and defensive answer without saying anything.
I know that this is my position and I cannot say what I will do here.
A promise becomes a promise even if it is verbal.
‘But it’s true’
I did not come here to get such a principled answer.
It was to obtain accurate and certain compensation.
“President”
“Do you have any questions about student Seonghyun Lee?”
“Is a person’s life so light that only a few pennies can be compensated for by the chairman? “
First of all, Shinpa.
Activate the K-clan’s special move.
I walked inish first with a slightly crying appearance and a trembling voice.
“Yes? It can’t be. I don’t mean that. What is Cadet Lee Seong-hyeon—”
“Then”
In that case.
“Then, shouldn’t we first apologize for the bereaved families and injured cadets instead of talking about compensation first? I’m not going to secretly call me, the CEO, and talk about compensation like this. Am I wrong?”
“There seems to be a misunderstanding, Cadet Lee Seong-hyeon. Our academy has never taken lightly of the bereaved families and injured cadets. Not only allowing the injured cadets to receive treatment at the best hospital, but also providing all the necessary procedures for the bereaved families…”
“Isn’t there a proper individual apology?”
It’s a bit forced, but it doesn’t matter.
This is nothing more than a kind of psychological confirmation that this side has the upper hand.
From noble mtl dot com
In the first place, Seol-ha Baek didn’t commit this, and some company or corporate foundation apologized in principle for what the lower side did.
Even so, I know that Snow White is going to visit each and every one of them to apologize.
I was just a little late because I had more urgent things to do.
As if to disprove it
As soon as the incident happened, I know that he personally did various things, such as identifying the cause, apologising to the public, and donating his own money for the bereaved family and injured cadets.
If it’s a problem, it would be that he only apologized and responded in principle so as not to spread the blame theory.
Everybody does that kind of tail cutting.
But.
I haven’t done it yet.
Then it was worth using as an attack element.
And
‘That level of compensation is not enough’
Not enough.
How hard have I tried?
If I received everything I was entitled to and did not receive additional money, I would not be able to resolve it.
“If it is an individual apology, the incident will be settled and quickly…”
“Enough.”
That’s why I spurred on and stood up.
“As expected, I can only talk… Vice President Baek Seol-joon is just…”
And then, he spoke like he was crying and turned around.
“Yes? Now, wait a minute, Student Lee Seong-hyun, please wait a moment”
Snow White rushed to grab his wrist.
“Let go”
That’s why I opened my mouth low as if I was deliberately angry.
I am not in a hurry right now.
Because he is gradually being pushed back in the fight with Seoljun Baek, he is slowly sinking without the help of the main character.
‘But I blocked the route that the main character would help…’
In the development of the novel, the main character solves the monster runaway incident and talks to Seolha Baek through that relationship.
In the first place, the incident has grown and it has become more dangerous.
“There seems to be some misunderstanding, Cadet Lee Seong-hyeon. I don’t mean that…”
“Isn’t that what the chairman sees the cadets as just a number? In the first place, there is no human heart, and to prevent things from escalating, they prevented them from even talking about the strange terrorists entering the academy…”
“Yes? When did I… And what do you mean by being a terrorist?
“Enough.”
I swung the wrist that Seolha was holding and shook it off.
“I can’t talk to the president anymore.”
Then Seolha Baek stared blankly.
After a sneak peek, I opened the door with force and slammed it shut.
The fire went in.
Now I’m just waiting for it to grow by blowing in the wind.
**
Quang!
Snow Ha had no choice but to stare blankly at the closed door.
At first, I was angry when I saw him just say something and leave.
It was also because the words Lee Seong-hyun said were still lingering in his mind for a while.
‘An individual apology…’
I know what I have to do.
I was also preparing.
But I couldn’t do it right away.
It was because there was a possibility that going to them individually and apologizing would lean towards the fact that the responsibility for the matter was completely on their side.
Even Snow White himself did not like this kind of response and such a principled answer.
It was not morally right, and it was in contrast to the philosophy he usually thought of.
But.
But it is.
I couldn’t ignite the already uneasy situation.
I have work to do.
To relieve the father’s resentment, who was falsely accused.
For that to happen, I had to keep my position as chairman.
If that damn brother becomes the chairman, he’ll never be able to achieve it.
But the appearance of Lee Seong-hyun.
Those words for the sake of others were not washed out of my mind.
‘Is a person’s life so light that only a few pennies can be solved for the president?’
I can’t forget the sight of him trembling while shedding tears.
And then I had a sudden thought.
What would you say if you showed yourself as a child that you will become such a dirty, calculating and shameless person in the future?
If you show this to your father who believed in you and loved you, what would your father say?
Will you be disappointed?
Or will you smile bitterly?
I hated it for some reason.
Still, I had to do what I had to do.
“Whoa…”
Snow White let out a small sigh and shook his head.
Then he sat down in his office chair and pressed a button on the desk.
“Did you call?”
Then the man who appeared without a rumor along with a small wind bowed his head to Seolha Baek.
“I think it is correct that my brother approached me first, and I think there were people who sold my name and told Cadet Lee Seong-hyeon to keep quiet about what happened that day… Well, this must be my brother too”
“Then…”
“I think it’s right to prepare for an attack there.
“Cadet Lee Seong-hyeon…”
“It’s dismissal. That’s not possible.”
No.
Even after examining it in many ways, there was no one as nice and kind as that cadet.
And if you think about the child’s behavior of crying for others first today, sacrificing such a child is absolutely unacceptable.
If you do something to erase that child in the first place.
The risk was too great.
There’s no way my brother isn’t preparing.
Even the evidence could have been set aside.
In the first place, if he was an academy cadet, he was someone he had to protect.
If you break it
He doesn’t know what will happen to him.
I think I’ve become a bit sentimental.
‘Is it because of that child…’
It was a feeling I felt after a long time.
As I focused only on performance to become the chairman, I lost so much…
“Then he would have no choice but to bring the child to us.”
“There is no choice but to do that, right?”
I am personally interested.
It’s just an impression of what that child will look like when he grows up.
“And the results came out about the investigation you ordered the other day.”
“Already?”
“Yes, Professor Xuen said that death by the poison of the basilisk was certain, and an antidote potion was detected on the stomach, but it is considered too late.”
“According to the testimony of cadet Lee Seong-hyeon, then what about Professor Lee Nam-bong?”
“That is… drugs were detected in the body of the basilisk”
“Drugs?”
I know.
If you inject drugs into a monster, it will temporarily enter Berserk mode.
Even so, it wouldn’t be comparable to a professor armed with a basilisk…
“The same drug was detected in Professor Lee Nam-bong’s body…”
“Yes…?”
I didn’t understand what you were talking about.
“And this is in Professor Lee Nam-bong’s office…”
Astra’s pattern was engraved on the item the man presented.
“Other than that, several burnt pieces of paper that seem related to it have been found. There were several suspicious circumstances, so I checked the fingerprints, but there were no fingerprints other than Professor Lee’s fingerprints.”
“Wait, wait a minute. So, are you saying that Professor Lee has a relationship with Astra?”
“I can’t give you a definitive answer, but I think it might be related to some degree.”
If it’s clear that Astra is involved, is this an infighting?
I felt like the case was being sucked into a labyrinth.
“Is there any other information?”
“I’m sorry. It seems hard to figure out more than this.”
“No sir, good job.”
In order to know this ideal, circumstantial testimony was necessary.
And those who can testify about that situation…
It was only Lee Seong-hyun.
For some reason, even Lee Seong-hyun was suspicious.
Even after examining it from various angles, he was an ordinary cadet.
If that statement is true, he was simply caught up in it.
“Cadet Lee Seong-hyun is important…”
“Yes.”
It was so important.
