It was surprising that the story of Shinsung Group came out of Cheon Myeong-guk’s mouth, and it was also surprising that he mentioned the condition of Lee Young-moon.
Is it because the former president, Jeon Han-cheol, is not mentioned at all, or is it because of a change in the top-ranked group in the business world?
It was quite unexpected.
“Are you in a very bad mood?”
“It’s half the chance it won’t happen. It is known that his condition has improved recently, but it seems to have been steadily worsening.”
“It’s bad.”
Lee Young-moon didn’t look good when I saw him. He was holding on to the state of his body by mobilizing all modern medicine, but he was in danger as if it would crumble at any moment. So I was not at all surprised to hear that he had collapsed.
But there was something else I wanted to know.
“Why are you telling me this?”
“Chairman Young-Moon Lee is not just a business leader. As a chaebol, he is the head of the Shinsung Group, which ranks first in the business world, and is the owner of the Shinsung Guild, which is the number one among guilds. He is the only person who has won the wealth and power of the Republic of Korea.”
“So is it a threat?”
“Of course. Having both financial and military power in a place where the threat of monsters exists is dangerous enough that it would not be strange to disband a group by mobilizing public power.”
It is said that if it were not for me, the Republic of Korea would have become a holy republic.
Recently, Shinsung Group is enjoying its best period, but the reason that its influence is limited in the political world is because of my influence.
“Chairman Young-Moon Lee was a person with a sense of stability. It is no exaggeration to say that the Shinsung Group exists today because of him.”
“Isn’t Lee Se-hee’s performance great?”
“It has become the foundation for Team Leader Lee Se-hee to perform stably.”
“okay. Are you saying that you are a great person, and that problems arise when such a person dies?”
“Yes.”
“But do you know that Shinsung Group’s succession structure is stable?”
Lee Se-chan, who was exposed to living in front of me without knowing the subject, became an idiot by brainwashing. In fact, he was in a state of subsistence only in a vegetative state.
“But he is alive.”
“You mean breathing is a problem?”
“Yes. It has been only three years since managing director Lee Se-chan, who was a powerful successor, stepped down and team leader Lee Se-hee took over. This is not enough time to solidify the succession structure.”
Again, the most sure thing to do when you make up your mind to deal with it is to hold your breath.
Even knowing that fact, you use your hands inexperienced. I still felt that I was far away.
“So what do you want from me?”
“I want Shinsung Group’s succession structure to be clear.”
This was a request from me. Chun Myeong-guk doesn’t want Shinsung Group to fall into chaos.
“I know what that means.”
“Please.”
“Look more.”
There is no need to intervene blindly at the request of the president. I was thinking of making my own decisions and hearing what was the best decision for me.
* * *
Before going to Se-hee Lee in person, I decided to explore the atmosphere inside the Shinsung Group.
I had a younger brother who was directly working for the Holy Guild. When he came home and opened the door, he began to pour out words as if he had been waiting.
“Because it’s crowded behind Executive Vice President Lee Se-chan. I think that if you buy time and delay, chances will come.”
“Are you expecting a plant man?”
“Human medicine is also advancing rapidly. Sometimes, vegetative humans miraculously recover. There are several drugs currently being developed that can restore vegetative humans, but it will take some time until they are developed.”
It’s not just a vegetative person, it’s the brainwashing that’s complicated my brain.
It is a natural story, but it is impossible to reverse it.
This is something that I decided and messed up with, so even if the former pseudo-teacher came, I couldn’t solve it. Think of it as a random twist of tens of thousands of wires.
If you don’t know that, you’re thinking that you can restore your vegetative state.
It’s even pathetic because you’re putting your hopes in vain things.
“Then what is the faction of Lee Se-hee?”
“It is mainly supported by the working-level staff. However, in the president’s team, there are a lot of people who lined up for Lee Se-chan, and there are a lot of people who want to watch the situation.”
“You don’t support Lee Se-hee?”
“I heard some people support it, but there aren’t many. Because Se-hee unnie wants the group to move quickly. In the process, a lot of changes are being made to the existing bosses. He’s trying to touch his rice bowl, but who’s going to support him?”
It would not have mattered if several years had been given and the water was changed step by step under the leadership of Young-Moon Lee.
However, as Lee Young-moon suddenly collapsed, it meant that a strange balance was being achieved.
However, if the situation is unfavorable to Lee Se-hee, it is not.
If you show a strong will, you’ll get over it right away.
“So when are you going to intervene?”
“Well?”
“What are you pretending not to know? You asked me because you had plans to intervene in Shinsung Group’s affairs. Do you know that I didn’t even know that and understood it in detail?”
He said something in detail.
Yoon-hee was also trying to find out to help me in her own way.
“It’s pretty good.”
“Don’t turn around. So what are you going to do?”
“First, we should meet Lee Se-hee and listen to her story.”
“Are you more careful than you think?”
“It’s okay for me to have a stable income. My business partner, Se-hee Lee, must have her own thoughts. I just have to hear what the plans are and decide how it will affect my interests.”
That said, I wanted Lee Se-hee, a trusted partner, to take over the real power of Shinsung Group.
“Has it changed a lot? Still, there were a lot of stories about my brother.”
“what?”
“There was a saying that if I made a mistake, I would attack right away and cut off Executive Vice President Lee Se-chan’s head. Did you know that as soon as Chairman Lee Young-moon fell, the number of executive bodyguards Lee Se-chan increased fivefold? The executive director, not the president, has an extra security number.”
“That’s very unfortunate.”
“no way? Did you really think of that?”
“no.”
[Did you completely hear it?]
Well, if I had moved right away without delaying my judgment, it would have moved as expected.
Yoon-hee also opened a double wick in her eyes as if she could not believe what I said.
“Do not lie. I can’t fool myself even if I deceive everyone else, can I? you were thinking of that Am I right or wrong?”
“I’m going to meet Lee Se-hee.”
“at there. Please answer my question first. Yah! Are you going to ignore it?”
I turned around and crept out of the house. Yoon-hee ran rampantly on the road and yelled at me not to get into an accident. I’ll hear you next door.
Anyway, I don’t know if I’m tenacious because I resemble someone.
[Seeing that they are similar to you, they must resemble your parents. Anyone can see that they are siblings.]
Both me and Yoon Hee must be offended by these words.
[The biggest victims seem to be your parents.]
* * *
I quietly infiltrated the inside of the Shinsung group, leaving only the words that I would visit Lee Se-hee.
When I opened the door to the office and entered, I was greeted by a calm, subdued atmosphere, not the one I was usually filled with confidence.
“welcome.”
Se-hee Lee’s expression on me was the same as usual, but I could feel her trying to stay focused. Is it because his father has collapsed, or is he preparing for a power struggle that could be prolonged?
I don’t know what
One thing is for sure, I didn’t feel any fatigue from the US business trip.
“There are many eyes to see, so I came in quietly.”
“Good job. Everyone’s eyes are turning red because I think Junho will come to visit me.”
“What would you do if they had blood in their eyes and watched?”
“It is a natural instinct for people to try to protect their own interests. You can’t blame those people. I didn’t promise them any benefit.”
“Originally, mankind has been fighting for more. If you don’t need people in your age, you can just get rid of them.”
“My father hasn’t died yet.”
“What is the status of Chairman Lee Young-moon?”
“… The medical staff are doing their best to help the recovery.”
A lot of hopeful observations were conveyed to the difficult words.
When watching a situation, it is difficult to see it properly if emotions are mixed.
“It sounds like you’re trying, but it doesn’t work.”
“It’s a difficult situation to say. However, my father overcame difficulties in any situation and formed the group we are today. I believe he will rise again.”
“In the realm of faith, I know you want it to happen, but you have to prepare for the worst.”
“Junho thinks negatively.”
“That way, no matter what happens, we can respond. You are at stake in everything you have accomplished.”
It doesn’t matter what share you each have.
There is only one winner. And it was a structure in which the winner took over everything.
“Chairman Young-moon Lee recovers well and may rise, but he may not. When that happens, the math becomes very complicated.”
The more you try to unravel things that are complicated, the more twisted it gets. The simplest way to solve a complicated mess is to cut it with a single knife.
Lee Se-hee immediately recognized the meaning of my words.
“I don’t want to kill my brother.”
“Are we going to keep going complicated?”
“I know how cruel wealth and power are. But my father is not dead yet.”
At least you’re talking about not going into a bone and flesh fight while your parents are still alive.
In this case, the sooner the decision is made, the better.
“Can’t you trust me and watch over me for this time?”
“… … ..”
“I beg you.”
It’s an easy way if you deal with Lee Se-chan. It seems that Lee Se-hee hasn’t made up her mind yet.
“If you say that, there is nothing I can do.”
“Thank you. I will try to come up with an answer as soon as possible.”
“I can’t wait long.”
“yes!”
Seeing Lee Se-hee answering brightly, I took a breather, said goodbye and went out.
Yongyong, who was watching quietly, said.
[There seems to be something sticky about the bond of blood and flesh.]
No way. Lee Se-hee doesn’t want to get rid of Lee Se-chan until she uses my hand. You must be thinking that you can overcome this situation with your own abilities.
In my view, it was a judgment that was overly optimistic.
[Of course, it is not easy. Think from your point of view too. Can you treat your younger brother with compassion?]
First of all, the comparison is wrong.
I already have everything I want, so why bother sleeping with Yoon-hee? You just have to let him do what he wants.
If I put my mind to it, I can create a company the size of Shinsung Group.
I don’t have the skills to run it.
[It’s just a comparison.]
Because that’s not the case.
[Then things changed, your parents and your brother are in crisis! Then who are you going to rescue?]
Yong-yong seems to want me to have someone throw away one.
First of all, my choices are of course my parents.
Then he pushed me as if he was waiting.
[Abandon your brother?]
No way. Yoon-hee will be saved by a dog.
[Why is he suddenly showing up!]
It was tamed for that in the first place. If you don’t use it in this case, where will you use the insectivorous food?
[A very strong assassin?]
Yes, at the human level.
In order to deal with the dog, a superman higher than a Berserker must come forward, but how many such superman exist in the world?
[There are two such superhumans!]
Even the two of them wouldn’t be easy for a dog to catch. He was consistently beaten by me, so he must be the strongest in the plus stage.
[profit! Then three! It would be hard to handle with three.]
I don’t know why he thinks the dog will fight back. I told him to bite Yoon-hee and run away if it was too difficult to deal with.
No matter how strong a superman is, if he doesn’t fly at high speed like me, he won’t even dare to chase a running dog.
Crucially, if that number enters the country, it will inevitably stand out.
I just need to find a plan and blow my head off before the raid.
[It’s just a comparison! Oh, I really don’t understand!]
Yong-yong, who had created the situation endlessly, burst out in anger.
yes yes But what were you talking about to get here?
