92 – 92. Project (7)
“Is this it?”
“I think that’s right. “Director Kim Chan-oh’s personnel record card.”
Geun-woo glanced at the documents Dong-su was holding and said.
Dongsu looked at the personnel record card for a while and then opened his mouth.
“What does it look like to you?”
“What? “What do you think, Managing Director Kim?”
“No, I mean Director Seo. “Don’t you think you feel too sorry for us?”
Geunwoo thought deeply and nodded his head.
“You don’t have that feeling, do you? “Compared to other people.”
The ‘others’ that Geun-woo refers to are members of the Seohwa Group conglomerate family.
Compared to other conglomerates, the number of Seohwa Group conglomerate family members is quite large.
Chairman Seo Chang-soo’s three sons have at least four to five children.
The organization that Dong-soo and Geun-woo belong to is the secretarial office. Instead of the secretaries gathering in a specific office and working together, they set up an office next to the people they serve individually and are in charge of waiting, security, and performance tasks.
The training referred to here naturally refers to secret training. Basically, members of high-ranking chaebol families have separate training secretaries, and low-ranking members do not have separate training secretaries.
Cases like Director Seo Woo-jin are the lowest grade cases, and only have a secretary who carries out secret duties and do not receive any other management.
My sister-in-law was debating whether to speak or not, but in the end she said what was on her mind.
“I met Daehan a while ago.”
“Huh? Really? “Is it time?”
“Will he have time? “It was really by chance that we ran into each other at the headquarters.”
Geunwoo’s expression changed strangely.
“…Headquarters? “Team leader Seo Jun-su?”
“I was surprised too. “Do you remember that the Chairman told you not to allow team leader Seo Jun-su to set foot in Seoul?”
“You know. “That was the day the third boss’ forehead was smashed.”
Team leader Junsu Seo.
He is the youngest son of Seo Tae-joo, the third child of Chairman Seo Chang-soo.
Seo Tae-joo had five children, and he continued to have women until he gave birth to Seo Jun-su. The last child born was a boy, Seo Jun-su.
It is unknown whether Seo Tae-ju gave birth to five because she wanted a male child, or whether she gave birth to many children because she and her husband loved each other very much, but it was clear that he was her youngest son, whom she loved very much.
The problem is that the youngest son is leaving.
Since he was in middle school, he had been causing accidents, and in high school, there was even a rumor that he rented out 3 or 4 apartments in Gangnam to avoid accidents.
I don’t know if he didn’t have any accidents during college or if he was secretly causing accidents, but he seemed to have kept it quiet.
It seems that the habit started popping up as soon as I joined the company.
That habit is none other than violence.
Team leader Seo Jun-su, who was in the management team of Seohwa Pharmaceutical, inflicted violence on his subordinates because they did not listen to him.
In fact, the violence itself is enough of a problem, but the way the violence was applied has become an even bigger issue.
That’s right, Gakmok.
He fractured a subordinate’s wrist with a wooden block.
Of course, I didn’t aim for the wrist.
It was an incident where a subordinate cracked his wrist while trying to stop him from hitting his head.
However,
Is there a reason for pharmaceutical companies to have different branches?
If you think about it the other way around, it would mean that each piece was intentionally provided.
This could be interpreted to mean that it was set aside in advance to beat the employees.
As a result, Seohwa Pharmaceutical’s stock price plummeted, sales plummeted, and even a boycott broke out.
Seo Tae-joo, the president of Seohwa Pharmaceutical at the time, even held a press conference to issue a public apology and even visited the victims and bowed deeply and apologized.
But that is an external thing.
The most important internal task remained, the task of calming the mind of Chairman Seo Chang-soo, who was extremely angry.
Sure enough, as soon as I went to my parents’ house, an unpleasant order was issued.
Get Seo Junsu out of the house.
Never let me see you again.
At that time, even the eldest son, President Seo Tae-han, could not stop Chairman Seo Chang-soo.
This is a situation where you can’t easily ask for forgiveness.
It became a situation where the youngest son had to be kicked out of the house.
At that time,
Seo Tae-ju hit his head on the floor with all his might and asked his father for forgiveness.
Not once, but many times.
His forehead was torn and bleeding.
President Seo Tae-joo not only showed action, but also cried out with a complaining voice and begging eyes, asking for forgiveness just once.
Perhaps because he felt sorry for President Seo Tae-joo, or because he did not want to see his third son in such miserable condition, Chairman Seo Chang-soo stopped telling him to kick Seo Jun-su out of the family.
Instead, he concluded that he would keep Seo Jun-su out of pharmaceuticals, send him to a local affiliate, and keep this job in silence on the condition that he never come up to Seoul again.
My sister-in-law shook her head.
“At that time, the group atmosphere was completely rotten… So I really thought that Team Leader Seo would never come to Seoul again. But in the end, I guess I can’t abandon my family. “It seemed like it was posted with the chairman’s approval.”
“So, you don’t know when and how the kids who are in the ranks of the conglomerates will rise up.”
“Recognition. Anyway, I talked to Daehan for a while, and Team Leader Seo Jun-su still said he was a dog and was wondering if he should continue working here.”
“What have you been worrying about for three years?”
“Kkeuk. I know. Looking at things like that, Director Seo is truly a gentleman. He said he was really sorry for calling in the morning. “I heard Daehan calls me 24 hours a day, whether it’s midnight or early morning, asking me to clean up after him as if it were a matter of course.”
Geunwoo chuckled.
“I didn’t know it would end up like this either. “I thought I would just secretly live like a shadow again after the day Director Hwang said hello to me, but I am so grateful just for his willingness to keep me by his side.”
“Me too. And did you hear that I asked you to go to the pool party with me this evening?”
“Uh. He said let’s go together. But is it okay for us to be there?”
“If we’re going on our own, we can go, but I don’t think it’s right to get involved when Director Seo is going… Still, there’s no reason to skip out if we want to go, right?”
“That’s right? So, let’s work hard and have fun in the evening, right?”
Dong-su glanced at Geun-woo and asked.
“Can you play properly? “Aren’t you still seeing Hyoju?”
“Ah.. That’s right. “I heard Hyo-ju is coming too.”
“So. “I might die if I look at another woman just because Jieun is coming.”
“It’s sad.”
“Ha.. Shall we turn this sad and sorrowful feeling into work?”
“Oki. Let’s go out. “It seems like Director Seo wants to receive a report on the results quickly.”
Dong-su and Geun-woo left Director Seo’s office and headed to their destination.
And observe.
Once we confirm whether there is a target, we need to contact the head of the headquarters, but since we also have to consider the possibility that it may be somewhere other than here, we were considering just watching for an hour or two and then splitting up and moving on.
Geun-woo, who was staring at one place, opened his mouth.
“An hour has passed, but it feels like staying together is a waste. “I’ll go to the expected area and you stay here.”
“Okay. If it is confirmed, please contact the general manager and then contact me as well.”
“Yes. Watch carefully.. Ah?”
“Huh? Uh?”
Dongsu and Geunwoo stared at one place at the same time.
And when the fellow initiate clicked his tongue, he spoke.
“Wow… It’s true. “I didn’t know what to expect either.”
“That’s right. “Is Director Seo a god?”
“At least for us, he is God. I’ll put the phone in. “You follow along.”
“Okay.”
Geun-woo opened the car door and went out.
Meanwhile, Dong-su called Director Seo Woo-jin.
– Uh. Dongsu. Are you looking well? I’m sorry for making you work in the morning.
Dong-soo was moved to report right away when Director Seo Woo-jin said he was sorry again.
There is no need to do that.
He doesn’t know how many times he said sorry to the secretarial staff who didn’t have to worry about him at all.
So, instead of reporting, something else was said.
“You don’t have to say you’re sorry. “Director.”
Then a sigh came out of his cell phone.
– Ha. Men and horses. Today is your day off, so why are you calling me the general manager? I told you to call me brother.
“…”
I was strangely speechless.
My brother.
Is this person really serious?
Are you saying I didn’t ask you to call me hyung because I was bored, joking, or playing with you?
The word ‘brother’ crawled up Han Dong-su’s throat, but he came to his senses again and opened his mouth.
“…Thank you for your concern. “First, I have something to report to you.”
– Report? If…
“Yes. It has been confirmed as you said. “Geun-woo is being followed.”
# # #
“Wow. Real. “It’s true.”
I couldn’t believe it even after receiving the report from my sister-in-law.
As expected, it catches people.
“Then it was confirmed…”
I focused on the large mansion visible outside the car window.
This is my home.
Where Chairman Seo Chang-soo and President Seo Tae-han are located.
The reason I sent Dong-su and Geun-woo to their destination without checking directly was to have a standby at home.
If what I deduced was true, I had to meet my father, President Seo Tae-han, right away.
I picked up my cell phone and made a call.
– Are you Woojin?
“Yes. Father. “I have something to tell you.”
– What’s going on?
“I have to meet you and tell you.”
-..Really? Where do you want to see me?
I looked back at my family’s mansion and said,
“I’m parking in front of the main entrance. “Please come down when you’re ready.”
