22 – 22. In Campus (3)
“Woojin must have arrived by now, right?”
“Yes. President. “It is said that he arrived at Yeonkwang University a while ago and went into the professor’s office.”
Director Cho Ahn-hyeok delivered the report from below to Chairman Seo.
Chairman Seo, who was nodding as if satisfied, asked with a strange smile.
“Did you get a call from Director Kang of Strategy?”
“I have contacted you to ask questions as you said. “I think I did a good job of not going into the meeting.”
“Kkeuk. “I think Director Kang is too loyal to his eldest son.”
“That friend is also loyal to the person he serves. “Just as I am sacrificing my life and being loyal to the Chairman.”
“Huh? “Are you flattering me?”
Director Ahn smiles slyly.
“Do not misunderstand the truth. President.”
“Chief Ahn. But can you keep clinging to me? I’m old. When I die, Taehan will become the chairman. Can you survive? “Even if it wasn’t Taehan, Director Kang wouldn’t leave you alone, right?”
“I don’t care. “I have a place to return to.”
“Ugh? “Didn’t you say that socialization was over when you talked to me in the morning?”
“When am I? “hehehehe.”
As Director Ahn smiled brightly with his thick chin, Chairman Seo couldn’t even think about grinning and just smiled.
Director Ahn suddenly stopped laughing and cautiously opened his mouth.
“Are you leaning towards the firstborn as expected?”
“Why? Are you worried about Tae-su and Tae-ju?”
“To be precise, I am worried about Seohwa Group. The second and third parties will not just quietly preserve their positions.”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo looked troubled.
“Cluck.. I guess so. “They weren’t greedy at first, but their thoughts changed as their children grew up.”
“Chairman… I’m sorry to say this, but it would be better to sort things out in advance. “A battle of flesh and blood breaks out in an instant.”
Director Ahn Hyuk-hyeok spoke as if he was genuinely worried.
Chairman Seo smiled bitterly.
“Chief Ahn.”
“Yes. President.”
“If I liquidate my shares in advance, that conflict will break out right away.”
“That…”
“Should I die after seeing that?”
“..I’m sorry.”
Director Ahn Hyeok bowed his head.
He was once a mythical figure in the world of fists, but he was just a small child in front of the giants leading the Korean economy.
Chairman Seo let out a sigh full of regret.
“Everything else was fine, but that wasn’t the case with my children. Did I raise them wrong, or did my children grow up wrong? Phew. Maybe that’s why I’m particularly interested in my grandchildren these days. “I’m not really expecting much from those kids… huh?”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo smiled when he saw his cell phone ringing.
“We got a call from Woojin.”
“I will go out. Please feel free to call.”
“No. No. “Anyway, if Woojin recruited Professor Kim, I have something to order you to do, so stay here.”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo answered the phone leisurely.
“Ugh. Our grandchildren. “Is it okay to meet Professor Kim?”
Seo Woo Jin’s calm voice was heard from inside the phone.
“Yes. Grandfather. “Like I said, he seemed like a really great person.”
“Really? So were there any good results? “That guy works hand in hand with companies in the short term, but doesn’t work well in the long term.”
“Because they offer good conditions. “They said they were coming.”
Chairman Seo’s face lit up.
In fact, Director Seo Woo-jin’s claims lacked any basis. Is there any reason to merge overseas branches that do not suffer any losses if left alone?
Not at all.
But he was firmly saying that he would try to achieve something.
That alone can give you a big score.
And ‘no loss’, in other words, is the same thing as saying that things are becoming stagnant.
Chairman Seo was worried about that.
So, even if it was unreasonable, we tried to push for the merger and abolition of branches in Mexico and Guatemala as Director Seo insisted.
However, since it seemed like a stabilizing device was needed, they tried to recruit Professor Kim In-tae, an authority in Mexico.
“Oh! After all, our grandchildren! Good job. Good terms? Okay. If you need it, you can give 10 or 100 times the normal amount. Just bring it in and pamper yourself with it. That’s how people treat people. “Keep that in mind.”
Chairman Seo smiles cheerfully.
But it’s strange.
For a moment, Seo Woo Jin’s voice was not heard.
What is it?
Just as Chairman Seo was thinking, Seo Woojin’s voice was heard again.
“Yes. That’s how people treat people.”
Something feels strange.
What if it’s a person?
Shouldn’t people say ?
Just as a strange question was creeping into Chairman Seo’s mind, Director Seo spoke again.
“But you shouldn’t treat animal babies like that, not human babies.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m sorry. President. “Actually, I’m calling to give you a report.”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo’s eyebrows twitched.
Suddenly, Chairman?
“What are you reporting?”
“The fact that the consulting contract was not concluded. I’m sorry for not giving you good results. “I’ll call you later.”
Pop.
The phone was disconnected.
It was before I could say anything.
Although I was unable to speak due to the sudden flow of conversation, my grandson’s firm voice had a big impact.
Has this guy’s voice ever been this hard?
No, but.
Anyway, you hang up the phone before I say I understand?
“Have you seen this rude grandson?”
“W-what’s going on? President?”
Director Ahn just opened his eyes blankly, not knowing what the situation was.
# # #
Oki.
I told my grandfather.
I guess Dong-soo and Geun-woo did what they asked, right?
Then.
Would you like to go in?
Knock knock.
“Who are you? No? Director Seo? “Are you gone yet?”
Professor Intae Kim looked at me with a surprised expression. You might be surprised that he showed up 30 minutes after we said goodbye.
I said hello politely.
“I’m sorry. Professor Kim. “I left something behind.”
“In the professor’s office? What?”
Professor Kim In-tae looked back and looked around, but he didn’t see anything.
“Can I go in and look for it myself?
“Oh, of course. “Please come in.”
I sat down on the sofa I was sitting on earlier.
Professor Kim, who sat in front of me out of curiosity, looked at me intently.
I moved my hand on the table, in the air, a few times and pretended to hold something. Then he put his hands in his pockets.
“Director Seo? “What are you doing?”
“I found it.”
“You found it? “What on earth did you leave behind?”
I smiled.
“That’s what I said.”
“Yes?”
I said without losing my smile.
“They say you can’t normally pick up words, but I think I need to pick them up a bit this time.”
“What do you mean?”
“The word I wanted you to come as an advisor to our Seohwa Group is cancellation.”
“Yes??”
Look at the expression.
Are you feeling sick to your stomach because you lost all the fish you caught?
But that’s not the look I want.
I need to remind Professor Kim In-tae, who has not yet grasped the atmosphere, of the reality.
“I won’t sign a contract with you, you piece of trash.”
“Trash, huh?? Yes?”
Professor Kim In-tae was confused by what he had just heard.
And I am not the one to miss that.
“It gives me goosebumps. I almost brought a f*cking bastard like you to my company. Are you planning to screw me over?”
“Seo, Director Seo! What do you mean suddenly! No, apart from that, aren’t those words too harsh!!”
“Are you being harsh? “You’re saying it’s harsh??”
I don’t understand.
Or do you not want to admit it?
Then I guess I’ll have to open the dirty trash bag.
I took out my cell phone from my inner pocket.
Then, I pressed the recorded file playback button.
– It’s not even a problem to change a b*tch like you. I did a good job and left it, but now I’m working like an asshole? Do you know that there are one or two b*tches trying to get the position you have now? It’s a truck full of kids standing in line with their legs spread wide! If you gave me a job as a teaching assistant for the student you gave me earlier, I would say thank you and spread my legs again. I’m curious as to how much they’ll give you if they tell you they’ll give you a grade and a seat. Why don’t you check?
It’s longer, but that’s it.
I quietly pressed stop.
Of course, this is what happened after I got angry.
If I had recorded it from the beginning, it would have been a total mess, but I can’t help it because I don’t have the ability to get back the time I missed.
Professor Kim In-tae looked at his cell phone with a puzzled expression.
A look in his eyes that doesn’t seem to understand why his voice is echoing over there.
But he is also an old monster who grew old.
You probably know that the water has already spilled and you can’t pick it up.
But I guess he thought he could clean with water.
“..Director Seo. I’ve put you in a bad light without wanting to. If you don’t want to sign a consulting contract because of that appearance, I have nothing to say. “I will not sign a contract as the general manager wants.”
Ha?
Look at this bastard.
You pretend to be elegant until the end?
At that moment, Professor Kim In-tae’s eyes changed sharply.
“But do you know that what you are doing now violates the Personal Information Protection Act? A third party records and threatens? Did you know that the problem can get pretty serious? No matter how great Director Seo is, he cannot avoid the law!”
Ha.
As expected, this kind of dog-mixed pup cannot communicate.
In times like this, it is natural to drive a wedge.
“Ah. Sorry. “I already posted this on social media.”
