＜ Does the picture look good? ＞
The moment they heard the words coming out of the recorder, the presidents of Woo-Kwang’s affiliates all shut up.
A long, low sigh followed.
One of the presidents of affiliates muttered.
“I don’t understand. Why the hell did arson happen at Wookwang Chemical…”
It was something everyone gathered here wondered about.
But it was something nobody asked.
It was because Chairman Kim’s expression was too bloody.
“Chief Jang.”
“yes.”
“Is that the only thing recorded? Shall I ask these bastards myself?”
“Brother, I can explain everything! Misunderstanding! This is malicious editing! I was just flirting with rumors about the moneylender…!”
Wookwang Construction CEO Kim glared at Secretary Choi with bloodshot eyes.
“That bastard is like that! I didn’t know! In a scheme to frame me somehow by tying me up…!”
Click.
However, the answer came not from Secretary Choi, but instead from the tape recorder.
-Secretary Choi, just in case. What would happen if there was a fire at Taesung Chemical?
-Yes, boss! I’m on my way after I just finished taking over Taesung Chemical. Things are different from before. don’t say that
-why? What changed? If a fire breaks out in Taesung Chemical, property and human life will be greatly damaged. Then the media makes a fuss, and the anger of the Blue House falls. What if that happens?
-As long as the mergers and acquisitions have already been completed, even if an accident occurs at the chemical plant, Cha Tae-seong cannot be touched anymore!
The sound of the CEOs of Wookwang affiliates breathing in was heard from here and there.
All of them could not hide their disgust and astonishment with serious expressions on their faces.
On the other hand, President Kim of Wookwang Construction in the recorder was giggling and laughing.
-Boss, if things go on like this, Woo-gwang’s loss will be quite large. Perhaps to the extent that the Blue House will lose its anger…
-therefore. If that happens, will my older brother be able to keep his position as commander?
The presidents of Woogwang’s affiliates groaned.
I didn’t even dare to let out a short sigh.
-My nephew is only in his 30s now. You’re too young to be the next chief.
-President, if there is a fire at Taesung Chemical, Taesung Chemical will vanish in vain. I heard that Wookwang Securities was also involved in it? The damage is too great!
-If you don’t see even that much loss! Will I be able to sit in the position of Woo-Kwang’s commander?
It was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could not be heard.
In the midst of the silence, only the tape recorder was wheezing.
-Your brother has a single mind to abandon Wookwang Construction in order to acquire Taesung Chemical. If Wookwang Construction goes bankrupt like this, I will end up like Cha Yoon-seong.
Click.
Chief Jang turned off the tape recorder.
“Are you still listening?”
“Isn’t there no need to listen to it anymore?”
“Tongue, brother! Tongue, brother, me, I can explain everything! Bird, I was just thinking! I went over to Secretary Choi’s induction interrogation and I was dreaming for a while…!”
“A dream?”
Chairman Kim unfastened the finest leather belt.
Wookwang Construction President Kim became contemplative.
“It’s unfortunate! I’m just concerned about Woo-gwang’s present and future…!”
“shut up.”
Damn!
As Chairman Kim swung his belt around, President Kim of Wookwang Construction turned his head.
Chairman Kim limped and swung his belt.
Damn! match! Damn!
Blood splattered, screams splattered, blunt sounds splattered.
“Kim Woo-seok, until now I have moderately tolerated your self-indulgence and arrogance. There is only one reason, and responsibility is because it is not too late to ask after a failure.”
“Hey! Brother, I was wrong!”
“It doesn’t matter whether you are right or wrong. The important thing is always business. You set fire to Wookwang Chemical, and you almost ruined Woogwang.”
Chairman Kim gasped and glared coldly at his younger brother.
“I will now hold you accountable.”
Chairman Kim threw away the bloody belt.
“Even every single dust in this guy’s pocket is wiped off.”
Among the people with the title of president of affiliates, there is no one who does not come out dust by shaking it off.
Especially if it was a guy who worked hard to lead the lobby by even making a ledger for bribes at Wookwang Construction.
“Not only stocks, but even a single 10-won bill was left behind. Chief Jang, do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand.”
The fight between the brothers is over, and the victory is over.
The winner gets everything, the loser loses everything.
The treatment of losers will be handled according to that simple rule.
someone carefully asked.
“How much do I have to rob Wookwang Construction President Kim’s safe?”
“Shake your wife and children until they sit on the street.”
“older brother!”
Wookwang Construction President Kim clung to his brother’s leg.
“Brother, I, I was wrong! So, even the wife and children…!”
“You should have thought about that before you stabbed me in the back.”
“Brother, aren’t we bloodlines? I just…!”
“Is there any reason to consider it bloodline?”
“To my older brother, my sister-in-law and nieces and nephews…!”
“therefore.”
Chairman Kim kicked his younger brother who was hanging from his leg.
Then, without looking back, he walked away with a limp.
“Through blood ties, they will attach themselves like parasites and suck my blood. At the same time, wouldn’t I dream of avenging my father and husband?”
It meant that he would not show even the slightest mercy to his bloodline.
“What? We have to take this guy to the serving high school water torture room.”
The presidents of Woogwang’s affiliates were silent.
Everyone looked only at President Kim.
Mr. Cheol-gu looked straight at President Kim.
“Is that okay?”
“If you commit a crime, you must be punished. Whether I die or not is none of my business.”
“Take it.”
Iron Man made a gesture.
Court agents arrested Wookwang Construction President Kim and Secretary Choi.
“Instead, I want these guys to sort things out so Woo-gwang doesn’t get involved any more.”
“well.”
“If you do that, I will take responsibility and open the road ahead for you.”
“If you try to bribe the central government agent, it will be difficult.”
Mr. Cheol-gu was squeamish.
“I’ve seen a lot just by not dragging you as an active offender in an assault case that happened in front of my eyes.”
“Stiff.”
“Thank you for your cooperation. I’ll just go.”
When Mr. Cheol-gu glanced at him, the courtiers dragged Secretary Choi and President Kim of Wookwang Construction.
Click.
As the door closed, the silence became particularly pronounced.
Chairman Kim looked back at the presidents of affiliates who were stiff.
“I’m not one to take pity on a bastard who bares his teeth at his master. I should reap what was called thanks to me. Isn’t it?”
“yes.”
“Even the guys who were dragged away just brushed off the same thing. If you turned your back on me, you would have been prepared for that.”
I worked for Woo-gwang for over 30 years.
They were ordered to rob their wives and children without mercy until they were on the streets.
“Especially Wookwang’s stock. Whether it was a borrowed name or a pseudonym, it even secretly passed on to the in-laws to the second cousin. I will have to retrieve it before a week is left.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
* * *
It was late at night in midwinter, but there were still long lines of reporters in front of the residence of Wookwang Group Chairman Kim.
Blowing on my frozen hands, stamping my feet.
It was a time when I was waiting endlessly for a scoop to catch at any time, so that my throat would sink.
“Oh, there are people out there!”
“No, aren’t the presidents of Woo-gwang’s affiliates being arrested?”
“oh my god! Did these guys dig a hole in the ground? When did you get in there?”
click! click! click!
Flashes fired continuously in the dark of the night.
The cameras at the broadcasting station, which had been turned off due to the high cost of film, turned on all at once.
In front of Mr. Cheolgu, microphones were thrust here and there.
“Where are you from?”
“For what reason are the CEOs of Woogwang’s affiliates arrested?”
“Is it related to Wookwang Chemical’s arson?”
“What did Chairman Kim Woo-seok of Wookwang Group say?”
click! click! click! click!
The dazzling camera flash went off as if blinding.
Mr. Cheol-gu blinked his eyes stupidly.
It was clear that he was contemplating what to answer, and then he smiled innocently.
“Details will be announced at a public press conference in the courtyard tomorrow. Enough then.”
Mr. Cheolgu jumped quickly.
“Tomorrow, hold a public press conference in the courtyard!”
“Woogwang affiliates are being arrested?”
“A subbing high school torture room or a courtyard cellar! Let’s follow!”
“It’s a scoop! An article appeared on the front page of the newspaper!”
Journalists in the media ran amok in a frenzy.
The speed at which the camera flash fires has become insanely fast.
The reporters rushed out following Mr. Cheol-gu.
“I’m going to calm down a bit now.”
Chairman Kim watched them from the study on the second floor.
At this time, the presidents of the rest of Woo-gwang’s affiliates also disappeared through the parking lot next door.
By Chairman Kim’s side, only Jang, the head of Wookwang Group’s security office, remained.
“That friend, where is he from?”
“They said it was Park Cheol-gu of the Central Government Public Security Bureau. It’s something that is recognized even in the courtyard.”
“I can tell just by not blinking an eye in front of me.”
Chairman Kim’s smile was cold.
“I’m the type of person whose career path will be blocked just by looking at cancer. How did such an asshole come all the way here?”
“Shall we find out who is behind it?”
“done. What kind of idiot would push a dick like that? I’d rather have a hound that listens well.”
“It is.”
“Would a guy without a back stomach be a horse? If someone like that touches Woo-gwang’s private parts, it’ll be a headache.”
“Shall we change the person in charge to someone who can communicate well?”
“In conclusion, that should be the case.”
Chairman Kim’s eyes narrowed.
“Anyway, if things get bigger, it’s something that has to go from the court to the prosecutor’s office.”
“Yes, even the courtiers who fly and crawl don’t even take charge of trials.”
“If he understands the language, he will end it in the water torture room at the Seobinggo.”
“A guy with that kind of head would be called a nerd with that skill and hit it hard.”
“I guess so. That’s why Wooseok won’t get caught up in his remarks and he’ll act properly.”
Chairman Kim glanced at the red traces left by Secretary Choi.
“What else did Secretary Choi say? Is that all recorded?”
“What are you curious about?”
“If only.”
Chairman Kim rubbed his chin.
“Now that I know it, what if my younger brother had a separate stomach?”
“yes?”
“Taesung pushed through with a three-page snatch contract. While taking unreasonable losses.”
“That means…”
“Taesung, who wants to eat Wookwang Chemical as well as Wookwang Securities raw, set a trap to bring me down from the position of chief executive. How is it? Does the picture look okay?”
* * *
I stopped sharing my vision with the grim reaper.
‘Chairman Kim of Wookwang Group.’
While simultaneously purging the traitors, he not only threw them as a sacrifice to the press, but also decided to rob them of their property to fill the empty barn.
And that wasn’t all.
He warned those who questioned Chairman Kim’s leadership.
By beheading those who turned their backs, they set an example, turned their arrows, and even removed annoying reporters at once.
‘Internal cleanup. I wish I had just gone there.’
Wookwang chemical fire accident.
Whether it was Taeseong or Woogwang, it was a planned crime to bring down the leader.
‘Are you going to take responsibility for Woo-gwang’s sinking by bringing Tae-seong into it? It’s troublesome to come out like this.’
I picked up the phone right away.
After several beeps, a cold, serious voice answered the phone.
-This is Kim Young-gul, the chief secretary of Taesung Group.
“Secretary Kim, this is Cha Jeong-hyeok.”
-Why did you give me all the calls?
“I have a place to give a bribe ledger from Wookwang Construction as a gift.”
-Wookwang Construction Bribe ledger? As a gift too?
Secretary Kim’s voice flowing through the phone was full of doubts.
-It’s for blackmail, not for gifts.
Why are you trying to use that nice thing only for intimidation?
-That’s my leash and shame, who would be happy to receive that?
Why is there no one who would be happy to receive it?
“I think the Blue House would be happy.”
Secretary Kim took a deep breath and was silent for a moment.
Either that or not.
“The Chief of Staff and the Chief of Security are said to be His Excellency’s closest aides. I want them to come up with a list of high-ranking government officials and politicians who they hate in their eyes.”
I grinned.
“At this point, I need to make a contribution and join the non-gong peddling.”
-If it’s a non-public peddler…
“I’m giving you a chance to get rid of the static that I couldn’t get rid of because I was paying attention to your Excellency.
As long as there is a guarantee from the Blue House, it can be swallowed whole without spending a single penny.
Secretary Kim’s voice was a mix of joy and trembling.
-Boss, I will come to your house right now.
Even in Secretary Kim’s eyes, the painting looks fine.
