58 – 58. Star Chaebol (7)
Look at this guy?
Managing Director Seo Woo-seong laughed to himself.
How dare you criticize your father in front of yourself?
It was absurd.
But if you listen to it, it wasn’t wrong.
There is a wall.
That was something Seo Woo-seong always felt.
My father always keeps his distance even though I want to get close to him.
I couldn’t tell if he was doing it on purpose or if it was his personality.
However, it was a relief to keep an equal distance from all of the children.
Yes.
And the rest is also correct.
Not being able to communicate,
There is also a lot of stubbornness,
Also, he has an old-fashioned personality.
Seo Woo Jin said something so true that I couldn’t respond.
Saying no is like denying it because it is the same as what I normally think.
If you say it’s true, you end up like your younger brother, chewing out your father.
The moment I thought about that, Seo Woo Jin spoke.
“Did I speak too harshly? Still, he’s my father…”
“No. Because everyone has their own thoughts. “Even if it’s someone you normally respect, if something doesn’t suit you at some point, you will look at it from a different perspective.”
Seo Woojin nodded his head while looking at his eyes.
“So… Do you know what we talked about when we went into your father’s office?”
Is he telling me what he told me about his father?
Managing Director Seo Woo-seong asked with a strange sense of anticipation.
“What did you talk about? But did your father invite you to go?”
“Yes. There was no contact at all over the weekend and then he suddenly asked me to come up. Do you know what they say when you go up? You are telling me to behave properly. “Because you don’t behave properly, you end up like that on TV.”
“What? “Your father said that?”
This is something I don’t quite understand.
Surely Seo Woo Jin’s broadcast would have had a positive impact on Seo Hwa Group as well as on Seo Woo Jin himself?
But you are blaming me?
Seo Woo-seong asked as if he were suspicious.
“Did you really do that? “Did you say anything else?”
Then Seo Woo Jin made an aggrieved expression.
“Because it’s true. Actually, I also went up with high expectations. It may not be a compliment, but I kept what I said the last time I met my father… Ah. At that time, he told his father a story similar to what he had said when he was eating with his brother. I am proud and say that you can find the answer by watching TV. So I suddenly went to see my father, and he asked me if I wanted to become a clown! Oh my! “It’s ridiculous!!”
Seo Woo Jin’s tone contained a bit of anger.
Yes.
Woojin said that to me too.
They say you will find the answer when you watch TV.
Are you saying you did that to your father?
But why did his father tell Woojin to behave well?
You don’t mention anything about the benefits you gained?
Managing Director Seo Woo-seong shook his head, but the reason was unknown.
But it didn’t seem like Seo Woo Jin was lying.
She had to have a reason to lie, but she couldn’t see that reason right now.
Seo Woo-sung said, calming down Seo Woo-jin as much as possible.
“For now, calm down. I don’t know why my father said that to you. “But couldn’t you have asked why he said that?”
“I asked! Of course! “But you’re just saying things that I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“..Really? “What did you say?”
Seo Woo-sung showed interest enough to lean his body forward.
Seo Woo Jin, whether he knew it or not, kept talking about himself.
“I don’t know what you want from me by acting like that, but I’m telling you to stay quiet! Say something like, “Do you think his grandfather will be interested in you like that?” “I just wanted to be praised by my father, but I don’t know why my grandfather suddenly appears!”
Upon hearing the story, Seo Woo-seong stiffened for a moment.
Ah.
Could it be that his father is keeping Woojin in check?
The relationship between grandfather and father.
If it’s good, it’s good, but that’s because my father leads the Seohwa Group to avoid any problems.
But a recent incident.
Woojin’s grandfather came to see her in person regarding the merger of the Mexico and Guatemala branches.
That was a truly special case.
My grandfather rarely came to visit me during meetings.
Unless it was a moment when a decision had to be made about something big, risking the group’s life or death, it was rarely done.
And there was no way my father didn’t know that.
..Isn’t there a possibility?
Seo Woo-seong looked at Seo Woo-jin, who was grinning with strange eyes.
Seo Woo-jin.
His behavior has changed a lot recently, but the way he looks now is that his confidence has disappeared and his eyes are as dull as before.
..No.
Am I taking it too easy?
What happened last Friday has not yet been resolved.
Missing Yoon Yi-seo.
Someone clearly destroyed Gilsu’s kids who were chasing Yoon Yi-seo.
At the time, I thought Seo Woo Jin intervened because he was angry, but after investigating, I concluded that it was almost impossible.
What kind of research did you do?
I asked a prosecutor I know to look up the cell phone details of Seo Woo-jin and Yoon Yi-seo.
The conclusion was that there was no call history.
Ah. It happened once.
From Noble mtl dot com
Looking at the date, it was the day Seo Woo Jin threw money at the convenience store owner.
However, the call time was very short, as if it just rang and turned off immediately.
The person who made the call was also Yoon Yi-seo.
Since that day, Seo Woo-jin has never contacted Yoon Yi-seo.
This means that there was no intervention in the broadcast at all.
Then who is it?
Who helped Yoon Yi-seo escape?
There were no predicted characters at all.
So it became an unresolved issue.
However, at that time, they could not confirm the call details, so they believed that Seo Woo Jin had intervened in Yoon Yi Seo’s escape, and immediately withdrew Jang Gil Soo’s children who were around Seo Woo Jin’s officetel.
The guy who stole Seo Yoon seems to be a very talented person, and he decided that if he goes near Seo Woo Jin’s officetel, he might be caught.
Therefore, it was not possible to verify whether Seo Woo Jin escaped from the officetel through the delivery boys.
Seo Woo-seong was lost in thought.
The situation last Friday.
Seo Woo Jin’s emotional behavior now.
Seo Woo Jin heard his father’s remarks.
His grandfather’s actions after entering the overseas branch merger meeting.
Everything came together quickly in my head.
And we reached a surprisingly easy conclusion.
“Woojin.”
“Yes. Older brother.”
“Let me ask you just one question.”
“Tell me anything.”
Managing Director Seo Woo-seong looked at Seo Woo-jin intently and asked.
“Why are you suddenly showing interest in management?”
“Yes? “Me?”
“Me? Weren’t you deeply involved in the recent consolidation of overseas branches in South America? “We are still pursuing that work.”
Seo Woo-jin looked blank for a moment, then hurriedly waved both her hands.
“Oh, no! Are you interested in management? “I did that for a reason.”
“Why? What?”
Seo Woo-sung glared at Seo Woo-jin with the eyes of a wolf hunting for prey.
It’s an opportunity.
Is he telling a lie or not?
We tried to accurately capture and analyze the tone of speech, gaze, and even breathing.
Seo Woo Jin blinked his eyes blankly for a moment, then sighed and said.
“I… I had too much fun.”
“..What?”
Seo Woo-seong’s embarrassed voice was quickly drowned out by Seo Woo-jin’s words.
“Brother Woosung. Do you know how many years it has been since you joined that company? But what have I done in the meantime? In the meantime, didn’t you do a lot of things that were helpful to the company? “I have nothing.”
“..That’s right.”
It’s a fact.
Seo Woo Jin has done nothing since joining the company.
He just gave me space so I could use a corporate card.
No one ever told him to do something that was beneficial to the company.
“I’m an adult too. I am also a member of the calligraphy and painting group. But how long do I have to do nothing? So I moved to do something! Consolidation of overseas branches? After diligently researching the data, I decided it was worth a try and went ahead with it. I never intended to run a business! “I just wanted to work!”
Seo Woo-sung looked at Seo Woo-jin blankly.
A completely understandable statement.
And a face that seems to appeal as if to back it up.
If you think about it, Seo Woo-jin’s life was full of beauty itself.
Although he was not a child given away, he was an inferior child whose raw meat was far below the standard compared to the members of the Seohwa Group.
Is this a compensation for that?
He says he wants to work, as if he has whipped himself for looking pathetic.
“I want to work..”
“Yes! That’s it. And when I had a meeting with my brother at that time, do you know how much my heart was shaking as I spoke? “I was wondering if I had become enemies with my brother for no reason. I have no intention of clashing with my brother in the future.”
Did you?
Is that so?
Then…
There is no need to chase after Yoon Yi-seo.
I was angry because he didn’t move as I had drawn, but looking at Seo Woo-jin’s stance, it was clearly just Yoon Yi-seo’s personal deviation.
It did not appear that Seo Woo Jin was protecting him from behind.
If he’s good enough, he could have been the one to steal away Yoon Yi-seo.
Since he is going to lose big on the air, he might hire someone to protect himself.
It felt like something was being sorted out.
“Woojin.”
“Yes. Older brother.”
“You work really hard too.”
“Yes? “What is that..”
Seo Woo-seong shook his head.
“No. “I had a misunderstanding, but it was resolved after talking with you.”
“Ah.. I don’t know what it is, but I’m glad it was resolved. But didn’t you ask to see me to tell me something? “I think I was just talking about myself.”
Seo Woo-seong said with a bitter smile.
“Yes. I had something to ask. “It’s nothing else.”
# # #
I gave up with all my might.
And it worked.
A look of relief.
A proud expression that looks like the old Seo Woo Jin.
Okay.
Very good.
Things are going the way I want.
And after hearing about the reason why Seo Woo-sung asked to see me, we started talking about various things…
There was an answer in the conversation.
f*ck you.
