43 – 43. Sniping (10)
A strong smell of alcohol was spreading from the entrance.
Even without walking through the living room passage, I could see the situation inside.
‘f*ck.. f*ck.. f*cked..’
As soon as the ‘Social Sniping’ program ended, Team Leader Kim Seon-woo of the Business Development Team received a call from Managing Director Seo Woo-seong.
A steady voice without any pitch or pitch.
And a simple word.
– Come.
That was it.
When and where are all omitted words.
But I could understand the meaning right away.
Right now, at Seo Woo-seong’s officetel.
I knew since I met Managing Director Seo Woo-seong that there was an officetel near the Seohwa Group headquarters that was used for relaxation.
We had several meetings there when carrying out secret work.
I would have definitely gone to that officetel on a day like today just to see ‘social sniping’.
Can’t you see ‘social sniping’ with a smile at your home?
He was probably watching the broadcast quietly alone, with premium whiskey and expensive snacks on the table.
But this smell of alcohol.
The smell of the high-quality whiskey bottle being smashed was unmistakable.
Team Leader Kim cursed under his breath, biting his lip until it bled.
Manager Byeon Soo-hwan, you f*cking bastard..
Why do you do things that way?
f*ck. If you want to do it straight…
Since the incident began, Team Leader Kim has not intervened at all.
It was only handled by Manager Soo-Hwan Byeon and Reporter Jin-Dae Hong.
If you think about it, Team Leader Kim is not at fault.
However, it was I who introduced Manager Byeon to Managing Director Seo Woo-seong.
That responsibility cannot be passed on.
You must remain calm.
You could really get hit and die.
Hueup. Hueup..
Team Leader Kim takes a deep breath.
I don’t want to turn the corner, but if I don’t, I will have to resign.
Are you retiring now?
Is there a place to go?
Where can a person in charge who is picked by a conglomerate go?
It is impossible.
Even if I have to resign from the company, I have to finish this job well.
Otherwise.
You may have to live in a small business or wander around for the rest of your life.
Team Leader Kim gritted his teeth and walked around the aisle.
“Director Seo. “This is Seonwoo Kim.”
A spacious, open room.
As expected, the situation is a mess.
The floor was full of broken whiskey glasses.
It wasn’t just one bottle.
All the whiskey in the whiskey display case was smashed and the floor was soaked.
How much is it all?
Team Leader Kim was also a commoner after all, so the first thing that came to mind was the amount.
If there are dozens of broken bottles of alcohol that cost at least 1 million won or as much as several million won per bottle…
It’s dizzying.
It was so bad that it couldn’t even be calculated.
Although I am a team leader at a large company, I couldn’t even imagine losing my personal money like that in a single day.
Managing Director Seo Woo-seong spotted Team Leader Kim and slowly turned his head.
“Are you here? “Team leader Seonwoo Kim.”
It is an honorific term.
It’s an honorific expression in this situation.
There is a clear age difference, but we always use informal language. What is this?
Am I really going to die today?
Team Leader Kim’s thighs were shaking.
Don’t you usually experience numbness in your spine in cases like this?
I was so scared that my body reacted strangely.
I have experienced this again in my life.
Team leader Kim Seon-woo carefully looked at Managing Director Seo Woo-seong.
He was sitting on the recliner sofa.
He would normally be lying down, but he is almost sitting now.
I’m sure after Yoon Yi-seo said her last words, she couldn’t control her anger and got up, threw all the whiskey in the display case, and sat down again.
So, it would be that kind of attitude.
He must have made a phone call in that position.
After that, he would have waited without moving.
By the way.
The problem is those eyes.
There was blood in his eyes.
Although he was sitting calmly and unwaveringly, he looked like he was about to jump out with a sword in his mouth at any moment.
Then Director Seo’s mouth opened again.
“Why did it become like that? “Don’t you need an explanation?”
Description?
I also want to hear from Team Leader Kim Seon-woo.
Why did it get to this point?
However, after confirming that the incident had occurred, I did not contact Manager Su-hwan Byeon.
Now is not the time to contact me.
If we were to keep in touch now, the situation could have turned into a strange twist.
What if, after asking for an explanation, Manager Byeon Soo-hwan records the conversation?
If Director Byun’s tail is stepped on, they may end up in the abyss together.
So what we need now is to stop cutting.
However, what was disappointing was that I could not get proper information.
No.
Manager Byeon also probably does not have the correct information.
This incident.
This is something completely out of control.
How can Manager Byeon Soo-hwan explain something that cannot be predicted?
And first of all, there was no contact from Manager Byeon.
It will take him a considerable amount of time to accept reality.
Or that we are working hard to come up with a countermeasure with that guy named Reporter Hong.
Ugh…
I really wanted to sigh if it wasn’t in front of Director Seo.
Total crisis.
This is probably speaking of the present.
Team Leader Kim decided that it was right to speak honestly about this situation and opened his mouth.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t contact Manager Byeon Soo-hwan for fear of things getting messy. “The managing director also told me not to contact him before.”
“Then?”
Static.
Blood-red eyes stared at Team Leader Kim precisely.
“Then how can I understand? This situation? “The only person who can understand me right now is Team Leader Kim Seon-woo, right?”
It’s scary.
I was hung up on each word as if I had hung a saw on it.
You must answer well now.
If you do something wrong,
It can be said that there is really no back.
“The party, we will immediately arrest Director Byeon Soo-hwan. And I will meet you and ask you directly what happened.”
“That’s right. And?”
From Noble mtl dot com
And?
And what??
What should I do next?
“Uh, well, then…”
Director Seo tilted the angle of his face ever so slightly.
With eyes that look like they are looking at trash.
“No way? “You’re not stuttering because you don’t know what to do, right?”
Mo,
I don’t know.
I really don’t know what to do.
I wanted to kneel down right away and ask him to teach me, but the floor was already full of broken whiskey bottle pieces.
“Sin, sin, sorry.”
“Hey.”
Director Seo slowly got up from his seat.
As if it poses no threat.
However, Team Leader Kim Seon-woo was overcome by his momentum and took a step back, but lost his footing and collapsed on the spot.
“Awesome!!”
A piece of glass got stuck in the palm of my hand that was on the floor.
Red blood flowing from cracked skin.
But that was only Team Leader Kim’s pain.
Managing Director Seo squatted down in front of him and spoke as if he didn’t care about his shallow screams.
“Hey. Seonwoo Kim. Listen to me carefully. When something happens, you should always come prepared with a plan for what to do next. Okay?”
“Yes, four, yes..”
“When you work, there are times when you fail. I understand that too. But what are you going to do if you just run away unprepared?”
“Sorry, sorry, sorry.”
“And you know what makes me really angry?”
Team Leader Kim is speechless again.
I no longer had the confidence to give a wrong answer when I saw his eyes filled with madness.
“The project that was created to send Seo Woo Jin away ended up being a project to promote him. So catch that bastard Byun Soo-hwan and ask him. Okay? And.”
Director Seo gritted his molars.
“Be sure to check where Seo Woo Jin is and what he is doing right now.”

“Father. That’s me.”
President Seo Tae-han opened the door with a knock.
In the middle of the spacious study, Chairman Seo Chang-soo was sitting wearing comfortable clothes.
He was reading his article while holding the phone that filled the palm of his hand.
“Look. Son. The world has really gotten better. “I can’t believe I watched the news on a small machine like this.”
Seo Tae-han sat across from Chairman Seo Chang-soo.
“Why don’t you use a tablet?”
“You mean our calligraphy and painting? Arthur. “Do you know what the tablet market share is?”
President Seo Tae-han made a sad expression.
“That..”
“When I look at my tablet, I get upset and don’t even read the articles I should be looking at. Still, I’m watching this little guy because he’s contributing quite a bit to the group.”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo was happy as he played with his phone.
President Seo Tae-han has now realized.
Why is there a Seohwa Electronics TV hanging in this study? The concept doesn’t even fit.
Chairman Seo put down the phone.
“Anyway, the conclusion is good?”
“A separate report was received from the head of public relations. It may be short-term, but the image of our group is said to be much better than before. The areas identified were centered around Seoul and other major cities, and the analysis was conducted immediately, so there was no time to spare. “They say they will monitor the exact details throughout the weekend and then make a final report.”
After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Seo Tae-han said with a strange smile.
“Although Woojin’s actions were wrong according to social norms and morals, I think the public felt vicarious satisfaction as they understood the situation through the dramatic effect of live broadcasting. “Maybe that’s why I don’t look at Woojin negatively.”
“Giggles. Cancer. I guess so. This Woojin incident was helpful to our group, and Woojin himself was also helpful. “It’s a very good thing.”
Seo Tae-han stared at Chairman Seo.
“Did you know this would happen?”
“Me? “I had no idea?”
“..Then why did you leave Woojin alone? No way. “Do you believe Woojin?”
“Do you believe it? You believe it? Fuhehehehe.”
Chairman Seo laughed for a while.
Seo Tae-han waited patiently until his father smiled.
Then, Chairman Seo, who had stopped laughing, laughed a little more and spoke.
“Do I gain anything from trusting her?”
“..Nothing. So I’m more curious. Why did you let Woojin do whatever he wanted? “If something went wrong, it could have caused great damage to our group.”
“Cluck. “My eldest son is curious, so I can’t help but teach him.”
Chairman Seo straightened his bent back and spoke in a clear voice.
“Listen carefully. Son. I’m going to die within a few years anyway. “I am serving as chairman, but as you do all the practical work, I no longer have any great greed or interest in management.”
When the word death came out, Seo Tae-han’s expression slightly distorted.
I know.
You never know when you die.
But when I said it out loud, I couldn’t help but feel a twinge in my heart.
“Then why..”
Chairman Seo Chang-soo answered Seo Tae-han’s last question with a faint smile.
“I am a horse. “I just wanted to find the next step in calligraphy and painting.”
