KN Chemical’s entire company was staggered by a large-scale bad news.
Starting with the embezzlement of company money by the executive director, a relative of the president, the manager, an accomplice, aimed for the money and tried to kill him, and in the process, gangsters were also involved.
A horrific audio file about cutting off eyeballs and fingers, and an all-time embezzlement of 180 billion won.
The management side tried to block the report belatedly, but blocking such provocative articles did not stop them.
Every media outlet reported extensively on this embezzlement case, and the estimated location of Baek Seung-tae on the run and the progress of the investigation were exported in real time.
[Shock! The whole story of KN Chemical embezzlement case. Behind him was the Beomsu faction, a violent organization.]
[The poor management system of mid-sized companies. No one knew while stealing 180 billion won for three years.]
[Suspension of trading with KN Chemicals due to an unprecedented embezzlement case. Management “We will recover the embezzlement money as much as possible.” Shareholders also move to class action… … .]
As the situation progressed seriously, the company asked me, a key person in charge, to meet face-to-face several times.
However, I only responded to the police’s reference investigation, and I was consistently ignoring KN Chemical’s request.
-Chief Shin Woo-hyuk, could you come to the company for a while? Or see you. Shouldn’t we respond only when we figure out what happened?
“As I told you yesterday, I am recovering because I am not feeling well.”
– Please give me a little time though.
“What’s the point of calling someone who is sick and harassing them? I am already someone who has nothing to do with your company.”
– Just for a moment… … .
“I hope you never contact me again. Enough then.”
I hung up the phone without paying attention. Then the bell rings again.
“It bothers you. You should change your number or something.”
This time, the phone itself was turned off. Then Park Tae-shik, who had forgotten his lunch box next to him, asked.
“Can you really not go?”
“You don’t have to go. When I came out, I even threw in my resignation letter.”
“No, I don’t mean that. If you keep avoiding it, you might end up biting more. Why don’t we meet and talk about it once or twice?”
“I gave it a chance. It was he who kicked it.”
Park Tae-shik, perhaps hearing this for the first time, adjusts his posture with an interesting expression.
“Did you meet him after an incident happened?”
“Since the vice president came to visit, we talked for a while. But he secretly asked if I was an accomplice.”
“It’s a dog.”
“It’s very old. How many times have I struggled to avoid being framed for embezzlement, ha… … Didn’t you mean that I tried to slap you on the spot, but you barely held it in?”
I ate my packed lunch, holding back my soaring irritation.
Since it is a lunch box provided by a hotel, the side dishes are quite substantial. However, after eating this for a week, I feel like I am getting bitten by it.
I skipped a few ribs and set the lunch box aside.
“How is the atmosphere at work these days? How are you all?”
“not bad. The number of users increased dramatically after the Acorn concert ended. Thanks to the singers who performed here and constantly uploading videos, I gained quite a few overseas visitors.”
Park Tae-shik stops talking and takes out his bag. It was an old leather bag that I had always carried with me since I was at the bank.
“I brought all the monthly subscriber reports and accounting data in case you’re curious.”
“oh! Because it is worth using.”
“Uh huh, it’s not useful, it’s competent. Now, praise this body more. hurry.”
“Stop talking nonsense and give it to me quickly.”
As soon as I receive the company report, a smile forms on my face without my knowledge.
Since I’m stuck in a hotel to recuperate because of the reporters, I’m happy to see anything related to my company work.
“Woohyuk, but that’s what I mean. If it turns out that you are the owner of our company… … Wouldn’t it be difficult in many ways?”
“what?”
“No, it is. Anyone involved in embezzlement of hundreds of billions would think it strange if they established their own company in a short period of time.”
In normal cases, this might be the case, but my case was different.
“It’s true that I grew the company quickly, but the source of the capital is so clear that I can’t even dig it out?”
“It is clear. It’s because the method is strange.”
“What’s wrong?”
“That’s right. What kind of lunatic in the world would think of buying a North Korea-themed stock by pulling stock loans?”
Purchase of loans, stocks, and shares of Cy Club.
All the procedures I have been earning have been done proudly within the institutional system, so there was no room for violations of the law.
‘Now, the number of cases of being accused of embezzlement next year and being arrested has disappeared.’
We also secured a lot of Bitcoin, and Cy Club, Watts, and Acorn coins are growing smoothly.
I don’t know anything else, but the next year will be a boom in virtual currency, so from now on, even if I just wait leisurely, my life will walk on a solid road.
“What were you thinking, grinning to yourself? Let me grin a little too.”
“Really, I thought you lived fiercely. From investment to company establishment, I ran like crazy, but that was only half a year ago.”
Park Tae-sik also stared into the distance for a long time, perhaps remembering what happened in his early days, before opening his mouth.
“By the way, it looks like you’ve turned off most of the urgent fires. What are you planning to do next?”
“Okay.”
I only thought about avoiding the train running in front of me right away, but I never thought about it until after I dodged it.
“For now, should we celebrate surviving?”
* * *
The end of the year has arrived with carols ringing in the streets.
Every year around this time, year-end parties, various anniversaries, family gatherings, and postponed appointments pour in, leading to busy days.
December 23, two days before Christmas.
WHTS Company also held a party with all employees under the name of an end-of-year event.
The venue is the Grand Hall of a 5-star hotel in Seoul, which is usually used as a party hall for executives of large corporations or conglomerates, but we prepared a party for all employees.
“Wow, the party hall is so gorgeous. I’ve been to hotels here and there, but I thought that such a wonderful place could only be found in movies or dramas.”
“Honestly, I didn’t want to come because it was a company party at the end of the year, but those thoughts are gone.”
“Look at the food quality. How much did you spend preparing for this party? From the rental fee, it must be basic… … .”
The excited voices of the staff can be heard from all over the party hall.
People tasting food one by one, people walking around the party admiring it, and people busy taking pictures.
What they had in common was that everyone was really enjoying this party.
‘Everyone looks happy.’
At the edge of the party, I happily watched the staff’s reactions.
As this party is my self-congratulatory stage and at the same time a place for the employees who have worked hard so far, I hoped that everyone would enjoy it.
“CEO!”
I turned around at the sound of someone calling me, and team leader Gong Min-joon approached me in a suit.
Next to them were two people who looked like parents.
From noble mtl dot com
“This is our representative. He is young, but he has great business tools.”
I quickly get up from my seat and bow my head.
“My name is Shin Woo-hyuk.”
“Aww, nice to meet you. Min-joon is the person who becomes my mother. Thank you so much for inviting me to such a wonderful event.”
“you’re welcome.”
“I will continue to take good care of our Minjun.”
“I have to ask. The company was able to develop because there was a competent person like Mr. Gong.”
“Be humble too. Ho ho ho.”
Not only employees were invited to this year-end party, but also employees’ families, lovers, and friends were encouraged to participate.
As the company called WHTS Company is still close to unknown, such a large-scale event was necessary to secure the self-esteem of its employees.
Even after that, employees who came with friends or lovers come to me one by one to say hello.
Because the conversation took place in a light atmosphere, it seems that even if you are not at the level of a team leader, you approach me without any burden.
In the meantime, everyone’s eyes in the party are suddenly turned to one side.
“uh?”
I also reflexively looked back, but an exclamation came out of my mouth without my knowledge.
A black dress that is slightly open on the side, jewelry that only points at the neck, and a superior proportion that does not require kill heels.
I thought a Hollywood actor appeared at the party.
“CEO, hello.”
A beautiful woman who captivated everyone at the party came up to me and said hello.
The identity of the beauty was Lee So-young.
“Mr. Soyoung. Welcome.”
I forcibly pushed the exclamation that was trying to escape from the tip of my chin.
It had to be. Because next to Lee So-young, a man presumed to be her father was glaring at me with his eyes strained.
“You are my father.”
As Lee So-young introduces herself, I bow my head.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Woohyuk Shin from WHTS Company.”
“hmm… … Yes, nice to meet you.”
He looked at me up and down without straining his eyes, as if he was trying to judge me.
Then, Lee So-young stops him.
“What are you doing?”
“I was looking at how special you were because you were the one who gave me mouth-watering compliments. What school are you from?”
“Oh, yes. Excuse me!”
“What are you sorry about? You can ask.”
She bowed her head to express her apologies to me, and dragged her father away.
I heard that So-Young Lee’s father opposes what his daughter is doing.
A talented person like her would be at the level of being taken by a big company, but since I work for a small company with no name, I don’t think even my parents will look good on me.
“… … .”
Lee So-young was a person who would become great even without me.
But if I forcibly brought him in and rotted away his ability like this, that in itself was a sin.
‘He is the one who believed in me and followed me. Not just her, but all of the staff here.’
I had the illusion that I could let go of the reins for a moment just because I had solved a crisis in front of me. It’s not like I’m alone in my life anymore.
I bite my lips tightly to urge my complacent mind.
‘Wake. It is said that the virtual currency jackpot is waiting for us in the future, but as long as I entered this game, it is no longer a fixed future.’
Cryptocurrency has already entered a boom due to the variable called acorn coin.
If you go on like this, you could make a mistake and collapse before rising, or you could be sanctioned by the US government for a too fast surge.
‘Virtual currency is a very unstable asset. Once the collapse begins, the company will be shaken regardless of my will from then on.’
I needed a weight class that could protect the company no matter what changes came. To do so, the company had to grow into businesses other than cryptocurrency.
Cyclub, Watts, or something else?
I fell into serious trouble, and the party took a back seat before I knew it. Everything around disappears from view. I can’t even hear the music playing at the party.
How long has it been like that? I feel someone tapping next to me.
“Woohyuk. Hey, Woohyuk Shin. Can’t you hear me?”
Park Tae-shik came next to me and was gasping for breath.
“huh?”
“No, why aren’t you answering the phone! Did you forget your phone?”
The phone fits well in my pocket. When I turned on the screen, there were 8 missed calls from Park Tae-shik.
“Did something happen?”
“Yeah, it exploded. A very big hit! and exploded!”
“You make a fuss again.”
“Hey, sir! That’s because it’s not a real fuss! You know Japanese soft paws, right?”
can you not know Softpow is a large telecommunications company in Japan and a super-giant investment company with a market capitalization of over 100 trillion won.
“There, Shin Jeong-eui, the president of the company, contacted us directly! He wants to meet you in person in the new year!”
