The construction manager, who sat in a quiet corner of the cafe, sighed and said.
“shit.”
Just thinking about the accident at that time brings out swearing.
The safety equipment was insufficiently installed as the work was rushed due to the rush of construction.
That was the beginning of all the problems.
“Did you think it would break down like that?”
A construction site where part of the building collapsed due to insufficient safety facilities and became chaos.
Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the unsafe and poor construction was a huge blow to the reliability of the construction company.
This was especially the case because we are about to receive a large construction order in the near future.
“There are not one or two major projects that will be in the near future.
So what I came up with was to put all the sins on the skeleton at the site of the collapse.
For that, the construction manager met with the skeleton pilot and agreed to an agreement of 80 million won.
Clearly, it has been smooth so far.
Until suddenly I got an urgent call from that skeleton pilot.
“What do you mean I want to see you all of a sudden? It’s not good to see you again.”
Then the cafe door opens and Han Do-yoon enters.
Doyun Han looked around and sat down in front of the construction manager and said.
“hello.”
“Yes, Han Do-yoon. What did you want to see?”
Then Han Do-yoon smiled awkwardly and said.
“Well, I was wondering if it actually worked out.”
“Yes?”
“I was worried, because it would be a big deal if I got caught. That accident was caused by the skeleton…”
Then the captain brought his index finger to his mouth and said,
“Shh. What are you doing? If you want to tell the truth, just talk about the incident. What a good story.”
“ah. I don’t even know.”
The chief said in a quiet voice.
“It will be taken care of without any problems. Because there is no evidence in the first place.”
“What if there is evidence?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“I mean, just in case.”
“There is no such thing. There is no CCTV at the scene, and Han Do-yoon is the only witness.”
“If that’s the case, that’s a good thing, isn’t it just in case you don’t know?”
“Don’t say nonsense, is that the answer? In the future, if it’s only about this kind of thing, please don’t contact me, because there’s nothing good about meeting us.”
As the warden was about to get up, Han Do-yoon hurriedly grabbed the warden’s wrist and said,
“No, why are you in such a hurry? We just met, so let’s go get some coffee.”
Then the commander said with a puzzled expression.
“Are we in a situation where we can relax and drink coffee here?”
“Anyway, let’s stay a little longer.”
After hearing Han Do-yoon’s words, the director eventually sat down.
Then Han Do-yoon, who was silent, said:
“But what would you do with the collapse without the skeleton?”
It’s been a while since I told you to call it that incident, but Han Do-yoon speaks openly about it again.
The director, looking at Han Do-yoon like that, said:
“Is this because 8,000 isn’t enough?”
“Yes? Oh no, like that.”
“Otherwise, why are you asking all of a sudden?”
Han Do-yoon, who had thin ears and a dull corner, could easily buy it.
But as he suddenly called himself and kept telling strange stories, the warden began to feel something more and more strange.
‘what. Is something strange?’
At that time, another strange thing stood out in the director’s eyes.
‘By the way, why do you keep touching your left breast?’
Han Do-yoon taps his left chest once in a while while talking.
‘Wait a minute. no way······.’
The commander was silent for a moment, then stood up and said.
“Anyway, Han Do-yoon, don’t worry too much. You can doubt it, but it’s of no use if you don’t have the evidence.”
The warden, who pretended to wake up like that, suddenly grabbed Han Do-yoon by the neck and put his hand into Han Do-yoon’s clothes.
“Come on, wait!”
And when the warden took his hand off Han Do-yoon’s clothes, he had a recorder in his hand.
The warden shook the recorder and said.
“What is this? Are you recording the conversation now? So you deliberately induced me to testify?”
Han Do-yoon said, sweating profusely.
“Oh, no. I’m anxious these days, just in case you don’t know…”
“Are you trying to get more money by threatening me? no. I mean, Han Do-yoon doesn’t have that kind of shyness.”
The chief said with a cold expression.
“Who made it?”
Then Han Do-yoon, who was crying, said:
“That, that, so.”
“Maybe Seron?”
Han Do-yoon sheds a cold sweat at the warden’s words.
“Do-yun Han, if we have a problem, even Do-yoon Han can never be safe. why? Because I’m embarrassed, so I just won’t be there. Conversely, if we live, Han Do-yoon will also live. In short, we are a common destiny.”
The chief said in a quiet voice.
“So, be honest. If it’s too much of a burden, it’s okay. What the hell happened? You need to know what it is so you can take action. Come to think of it, I was talking about the evidence earlier… Is there any evidence?”
The warden is more convinced when he sees Do-yoon Han, startled by the word evidence.
‘Do you have any evidence? But if there is really evidence, there’s no way I could have asked you to pick up a recording file that has no legal effect?’
After thinking for a while, the director said with a more relaxed expression.
“Han Do-yoon. I’m on the side of Doyun Han. Do you really have any evidence?”
“what. I do not know.”
“Han Do-yoon. If you keep coming out uncooperatively like this, we will all be destroyed. I’d rather be honest. It really doesn’t matter if there is evidence. If we get along well, can we not make a hole through which we can get out?”
Han Do-yoon swallowed dry saliva at the warden’s words.
“A hole to get out of?”
The director returned the recorder to Han Do-yoon and said.
“If you tell me, I can’t do anything special? Then take this and go as planned. Instead, if you like the measures I have taken, come with me. How is it?”
Han Do-yoon shakes even more at the director’s deal.
“Is that true?”
“It really is. So tell me.”
In the end, Han Do-yoon opened his mouth to the persuasion of the warden.
Then the warden, who heard the whole story, said with a firm expression.
“They have black box capabilities.”
“Yes. I saw it with my own eyes.”
“But it’s strange. Isn’t CEO Han Ji-hyuk a person who creates a skeleton in an instant with one gesture? But how long does it take to recover? This is kind of weird. You didn’t see the evidence yourself?”
“I haven’t seen it myself.”
The chief laughed and said.
“No matter how you look at this, it seems that Han Do-yoon was caught. Maybe it was the ability or the use of a hidden camera, wasn’t it made as if it had black box power?”
“no way······.”
“If there was really evidence, there would be no way I could have persuaded Han Do-yun to follow up with evidence that had no legal effect, such as illegal recording. For sure.”
The director looked at Han Do-yoon and said.
“Trust me for once. Since then, he has gone through everything before and after and has survived to this day.”
Han Do-yoon thought for a moment and said.
“Then what shall we do?”
“Once there is evidence, and when there is no evidence…”
*
A bench near the cafe where Han Do-yoon and the director are talking.
I sat on that bench, humming using hearing-enhancing magic and listening to both of their conversations.
“After all, the person who betrayed you once will betray you again.”
What I asked of Han Do-yoon was to bring a recorder and capture the truth of what happened that day.
But from the beginning, I did not believe in Han Do-yoon.
How many times do you think you’ll believe the frightened and drunken man of my threats?
So, from the very beginning, I heard that Han Do-yoon was going to meet the director and followed him.
Even if it is a difficult situation to specify, as in the case of a warehouse fire, people lose consciousness and it is difficult to identify, but it is not as easy as tracking a person who has already been targeted from afar.
“Anyway, chief, it’s pretty good. Can’t play at all?”
I’m not sure if it’s a lie to say that I went through everything before and after childbirth.
It’s not enough to pick up Han Do-yoon’s awkward point and find a recorder, so you persuade him to take him back.
But, after all, it’s a mouse in a poison.
Then I can hear the two of them talking in my ears.
-For now, let’s talk to each other to make a recording file, and then pass it over to pass the time. Umm… I’m pretending that Han Do-yoon is asking me for more money. oh By the way, if things go well, I really give more.
-All right.
-The problem now is that CEO Han Ji-hyeok questioned about the skeleton’s safety braking didn’t work? after. I didn’t know there was such a feature. I’ll think about this a bit.
So, the two of them talk about future measures.
I said with a smirk.
“Think about it for a hundred days, it’s already being recorded.”
Hearing enhancement literally means reinforcing sound waves from a distant place and transmitting them to your ears.
Of course, it is also possible to transmit these sonic waves to places other than my ears.
The target is, of course, my recorder next to me.
Of course, such illegal recordings cannot be used as legal evidence.
But not enough to justify press play and my actions.
At the same time, the skeleton’s unfair accusation can also be removed.
Then the chief’s voice is heard.
– Go to the bathroom for a while.
Then he suddenly comes out and starts talking to someone.
– Manager Kim, things are getting complicated. CEO Han Ji-hyuk noticed.
The superiors were also involved.
I applied the hearing enhancement magic to the phone more strongly.
– Damn it! Did you notice?
-So······.
After hearing the director’s explanation, Executive Director Kim said.
– Safe braking? What did you do without checking any of those things?
Then the commander said in an absurd voice.
– Where can you afford to check it out in that dire situation?
– Still, you should have checked in advance, wouldn’t you?
– No, how can I do that beforehand… Hmm. sorry.
The warden seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end quietly apologized and endured.
– Did Han Do-yun blow everything up already?
-Yes. But there seems to be no evidence.
-There is no evidence… Then just pretend you don’t know.
Then, after being silent for a while, the commander said:
-How about seeing Shobu with CEO Han Ji-hyuk even now? Since there is no evidence yet, we are going to admit it was our mistake and move on quietly.
come now?
I’m sorry but I don’t want to accept it.
The transcript is already in my hands.
Everything you are talking about right now.
– That’s not possible. The bidding for the construction that the president is focusing on right now is coming soon. But what will happen to me if I admit that an accident happened on the construction project I’m in charge of? The president must never know.
Ohh?
The president doesn’t know?
If that’s the case, then I’m just saying that that guy named Executive Director Kim is the head.
– Solve it neatly somehow! If you solve this problem well, I will take responsibility for the future of the director.
– Whoa. Okay.
After the call, the warden returned to the cafe.
After that, the director and Han Do-yoon continued to talk, but there was no particular nutritional value.
“How do you get these guys to work?”
It is not irritating to simply follow legal procedures.
The opponent is Taeyu Construction, a solid mid-sized company that ranks 40th in the contract ranking and receives 900 billion won in orders a year.
Besides, it’s not an accident that resulted in fatalities, so it’s obvious that he would have to pay a fine and cut off his tail at the level of a warden.
They blamed the Skeletons not because they were afraid of legal punishment, but just to prevent poor construction and safety negligence from affecting the next construction bid.
I thought for a while and said.
“Soon to be the launching ceremony of the Seron group.”
It was then that he formed the Seron Group and officially ascended to the position of chairman.
With this recording, they set off flashy cannonballs, formally declare war on the gnomes, and then shatter them with certainty.
Let no one ever do anything like this to Seron again.
I said with a smirk.
“Did I only live so kindly all this time? I’ll show you what a real super-eul is.”
*
The Ceron group’s inauguration ceremony was prepared without any major setbacks despite the chaotic atmosphere due to the skeleton accident.
In the meantime, Han Do-yoon, who had been talking to each other, came with a clumsy recorded file, and the director continued to avoid the topic and dragged it along, but he ignored it because it wasn’t very important.
In any case, the inauguration ceremony, which officially started like that, was filled with people from companies deeply related to Seron, including representatives of SR electronics partners, who are now close to 60, high-ranking sports makers, and officials from construction companies.
“First of all, our Ceron starts with a transportable skeleton…”
A pre-prepared moderator proceeds with the inauguration ceremony by extracting the short and short history of the Seron as long as possible.
So, after all the preparations were done, I finally got on the podium.
I said, cutting the pre-prepared string with scissors with high-ranking staff at Seron.
“ruler. The Seron Group is now officially launched!”
Attendees stand up and applaud my words.
I bowed my head slightly towards them and said,
“thank you. thank you.”
As the applause subsided, I said with a smile.
“Thank you very much for your hospitality. But I can’t help but be happy. As you know, haven’t there been any recent accidents caused by skeletons?”
The attendees were quietly seated as if they felt something unusual.
Then, as I beckoned, the door opened and the waiting reporters rushed in.
I looked at those reporters and said,
“The accident caused by the skeleton was very disappointing. I have been working hard for the coexistence of skeletons and humans, so that everyone can think of skeletons as convenient summons. So the skeleton has various safety devices. But an accident happened.”
Camera flashes that go off at me.
“I couldn’t believe it. Of course, I’ll give everyone a chance to demonstrate it in a little while, but a skeleton is like a robot with anti-collision sensors all over its body. But how could such a skeleton cause an accident?”
I pretended to be gloomy for a moment and then said.
“So I did some research, what the hell happened. Is there any loophole in my summons? But, by chance, I found something really interesting. Let’s listen together.”
When I finished my words, the voices of Han Do-yoon and the director came out of the speaker.
-If you get caught, it’s a big deal, so the skeleton caused the accident…
-Mr. Doyun Han, if we have a problem, Mr. Doyun Han can never be safe. why? Because I’m embarrassed, so I just won’t be there. Conversely, if we live, Han Do-yoon will also live. In other words, we are a common destiny.
The two of them confessed practically everything.
Then this time, it leads to a conversation between the director and executive director Kim.
– A tender for the construction project we are working on is coming soon. But what will happen to me if I admit that an accident happened on the construction project I’m in charge of?
– Solve it neatly somehow! If you solve this problem well, I will take responsibility for the future of the director.
So when all the recordings are over, the people are silent.
And among those in attendance was the chairman of Taeyu Togeon, the origin of all of this.
Taeyu Togun’s chairman said with a pale expression.
“Now, wait a minute, Mr. Han. Something is wrong with this…”
I looked at Chairman Taeyou Togun like that and said.
“This is Chairman Han Ji-hyuk.”
“Hey, Chairman Han Ji-hyuk, there must have been a mistake…”
It was natural to be upset.
According to Executive Vice President Kim, the chairman did not know anything about it.
But that’s a punishment by way of example, isn’t it a bit too much to just beat Executive Director Kim and finish it?
So I deliberately removed the recordings related to the venue.
To make sure you take care of your hands so that this doesn’t happen again.
I said with a smirk.
“Am I going to spread false information in such an important place? ah! Of course, I know that this has no legal effect. But what, if you formally request the prosecution to investigate, the results will come out, right? But I am not satisfied with that. I will blacklist Taeyu Togun, who has damaged the value of my skeleton and the image I have built up over the years, and boycott all cooperation.”
He said that he would not lend any skeletons for construction.
Of course, this alone is not enough.
“By the way, is there anyone involved in the construction of Boun here?”
Then a man who was looking at the situation with interest raised his hand and said:
“I am the representative of Boun Construction.”
“Can you come over here for a moment?”
The CEO of Boun Construction, who stood on the podium with a puzzled expression at my words.
I turned the microphone off and whispered in a quiet voice.
“I heard that you and Taeyu Togeon are fighting for a few weeks over the upcoming reconstruction project in Gyeonggi-do, right?”
“you’re right.”
“If I prioritize the skeletons needed by Boun Construction … Can you beat Taeyu Construction in the Gyeonggi-do reconstruction project?”
There are many companies that want skeletons, but there is not enough skilled manpower to meet all demands.
At this time, I am boycotting Taeyu Togun and driving skeletons against competitors.
To prevent Taeyu Togun from doing anything.
Said the CEO of Boun Construction, who fully understood what I was saying.
“If you can’t win the bid even with that kind of push, you’re an idiot.”
“good. After the inauguration ceremony, let’s talk more. oh And is this a secret between the two of us?”
“of course.”
In my mind, I want to openly harpoon, but if I do that, it is not only a violation of fair trade but also private revenge, so I can be harmed, so I quietly but firmly press.
So Boun Construction, the CEO, goes down the podium with a happy expression on his face.
Then, Taeyu Togeon, chairman of the company, is bewildered when he sees the expression of the representative of the competitor brightening.
I looked at Chairman Taeyou Togun like that and said.
“I wish you all the best in the future, Chairman.”
look forward to it
Because this is just the beginning.
