139: Go back and see (4)
Whoops, whoops!
Time past work hours. It was Geumryong’s office. Cheol-woo said he was going to work from home, and then he went to Geum-ryong’s office first.
“hey! Is this a restaurant? What is the case when a guy who has been on a business trip abroad doesn’t have a gift and orders a lot of food first?”
“Cheep! Do you know how much I have missed the food here all this time? A person who has never worked across the sea will not know this feeling.”
“Girl is…. I’ve been to overseas trips too…! And if I missed Chinese food so much, I would go to the restaurant first, so why do I smoke in my office in the morning?”
“I say this because you don’t know very well, but the dishes at Geumryongbanjeom are highly calculated. The noodles are pulled out on time for delivery, so you can only taste the noodles by having them delivered here.”
“…that’s just a matter of waiting at a restaurant, right?”
“How do you wait with food in front of you…? That’s not polite to food!”
“…Damn, what’s the new logic of this bastard? So, from now on, I’m going to make a fuss in my office, right?”
“Good! You can get more coupons, and look at your face at the same time. Besides, it can prey on your subordinates. Isn’t “one stone three trillion” a term used in this case? You, too, eat quickly before you blow your noodles.”
Cheol-woo did not deliver a single bowl. He told Geum-ryong and the kids outside his office to cook to their heart’s content. Thanks to that, a feast was being held outside.
“It’s all good, but why do I have to pay that stone every day? You have a lot of money too!”
“Hey, you’re being so mean for a few pennies.”
“More than 1 million won per month went out of my wallet. Besides, these bastards are so full of liver that they make more and more high-quality dishes. However, you can’t be petty with the cost of food… Shit!”
Still, when Cheol-woo entered the office, the faces of the golden dragons changed. The formula of ‘Cheolwoo = banquet’ has already been established.
At first, looking at Geumryong, the people who just ordered Jjajang and Jjamppong, now started to make course dishes. How many more are you eating there? Geumryong sensed that the speed of his wallet was accelerating.
“okay! Next time I’ll be sure to shoot okay?”
“…Damn, I don’t know if I can believe this.”
Sadly, it was Geumryong who did not believe in Cheolwoo’s karate check. His memory was hazy, but he seemed to have heard these words someday.
Geumryong, who had given up on everything, took up chopsticks again and stopped to eat the special Jjamppong. At that moment, a fading memory came to mind.
“Oh! There were people looking for you a few days ago…”
“who? Whoops!”
“Why is that? The Chinese kids who tried to swallow FNK last time…”
“These guys called the Triad…?”
“Yeah, they sneakily asked about your identity. Whoops!”
Cheol-woo, who had already emptied the bowl, wiped his mouth with a tissue and asked indifferently. He ate a bowl of hot Jjamppong, but not a drop of sweat formed on his forehead.
“What are they asking for my identity?”
“That’s it, I don’t know. They just said that they came to greet us with the intention of getting along well with us in the future, since they left nicely the last time, and asked a little bit. I didn’t know the intention, so I just chewed it…”
“What are those bastards up to?”
“Well, if they hold a grudge against you…”
“What if…?”
“We are going to expand another area. What! Huh!”
Geumryong drank the soup and smiled slyly. If he touches Cheol-woo, he drops a lot of rice cakes on him. This was his common sense.
“like! Can you still afford to expand?”
“No, there is not! Damn, even now, the organization and business are out of order, and the expansion is on a thorny board. I want peace now. It seems like it will take a month to organize the interior like this…, what kind of extension is the expansion!”
“Then do you have any plans to enter the United States?”
“What other nonsense is that?”
“No, I just asked. Never mind!”
The thought of expanding Geumryong to New York or Los Angeles was quickly abandoned. After all, a full-fledged dog doesn’t want to move.
Geumryong’s ultimate goal was to be friendly in Korea. Then, if I could retire quietly, there was nothing more I could wish for.
After leaving Geumryong’s office, Cheol-woo went to work just in time for lunch. The chef, who returned from summer vacation, welcomed him in the company cafeteria.
“Ah, it tastes like this!”
Cheol-woo, who filled the plate with refined Korean food, put the food in his mouth and even burst into tears. To be honest, I didn’t really miss home-cooked food, but I missed the company cafeteria food so much.
It was an hour before I left Geumryong’s office after ordering champon and jjajangmyeon. However, his fire extinguisher, carefully controlled by the Warrior, converted food into energy in an instant with maximized performance.
Even if I ate and drank as much as I wanted, I did not have to worry about gaining weight or getting hungry. In fact, it is an extremely strong body that you do not have to worry about getting sick even if you eat it all day long.
“Oh! Manager?”
“Howdy! Deputy Ahn, Deputy Kwak. Long time no see! Hurry up and sit down Today’s menu is absolutely art. Huh!”
The two deputies, who saw Cheol-woo in an unexpected place, had a surprised expression on their faces. Those who were holding plates in the midst of the crowd sat down at the seats opposite Cheol-woo and asked.
“Already… no, when did you come in?”
“Yesterday late… I got to work a little late because I was tired because of the jet lag. ah! That’s why corporate life is so tiring. is not it?”
At his words, the two deputies snorted inwardly. He must have come by private plane, and looking at his past behavior, the jet lag would not have affected even the slightest bit of influence.
“Are you coming straight from New York?”
“Yeah, that’s how it happened. tup!”
At that, Deputy Ahn sighed deeply in regret. It was because I lost money again in the bet I had with Kwak.
Deputy Ahn believed that Cheol-woo would definitely come and play around. Deputy Kwak also agreed with that statement, but he bet on the other side knowing that he would lose because the bet would not be established if that happened.
“Hey, did you hear the news?”
“What news? I’m sorry, but let’s focus on eating at the restaurant. I don’t want to talk about the taste of this food right here and now. After we’re done, let’s go to a coffee shop and talk. I will shoot.”
Cheolwoo said with a very serious face. His expression as he emptied the food was very solemn.
After a while he got up with a plate. To refill the plate once more, he had to move quickly before the side dishes ran out.
“Here is the corporate card.”
“Oh yes! Did you buy a lot of delicious food?”
Deputy Kwak handed out the corporate card that Cheol-woo had given him. Cheol-woo, who took the card, smiled and asked what had happened in the past.
“phew! Don’t talk. Deputy Kwak was such an idiot. I haven’t had a single meeting. All I could do was have a late-night snack or have it delivered.”
“Wow! I told you to eat well and be strong… Next time I will take you to a better place.”
“If you ever have to go on a business trip again, then I’ll give you a Beopcar…”
“Well, is there anything else I can entrust to you?”
“Eww!”
Deputy Ahn resigned with a sad expression on his face. I should have gone to at least a buffet at a luxury hotel, but even if I had a card, I didn’t have time at all.
“So what are you trying to say?”
“The situation with the second boss is getting more and more twisted.”
Deputy Kwak replied as if he had been waiting. His eyes were shining strangely.
The Pharaoh Hotel in Incheon, which was blown up with Thomas, was completely reduced to an aemul complex. Half of the building was blown up or burned down, and the ground itself weakened because the place where the explosion started was a casino in the basement.
Investors who expected to be golden at the same time as the opening packed their money and gathered. Mingyu, who was one of those water owners, invested his money there, beyond his abilities.
He was running chemical-related companies, one of Kangho’s main businesses, and invested in the Pharaoh Hotel by stealing the company’s slush funds. Fortunately, some of the funds were recovered thanks to Cha Jun-ki, who is close with the Japanese side, one of the operating entities.
But that alone could not fill the hole in the funds. In the end, when they tried to fill the hole by secretly stealing money from other affiliates, they were caught by the two agents who were watching it.
After reporting to Cheol-woo, they handed over the information to the paparazzi he informed. And the very next day. Articles related to the Pharaoh Hotel and Casino began to appear on the economic side of all media at once under the title ‘Flow of Black Money’.
The two deputies were surprised by the ripple effect beyond their imagination. And related large corporations, conscious of public opinion, began to crack down on the inside all at once.
“It happened so quickly, the funds that President Kang Min-gyu was trying to pull out were tied up. If internal audits continue like this, there will be a hole in the chemistry fund in the next few months.”
“How is that one?”
“I am terrified of being able to show it and show it. As long as a large amount of money does not fall from the sky, we will continue to be charged with embezzlement.”
Deputy Kwak replied with gleaming eyes. He didn’t express it, but he looked very encouraged that he had made an incident like this with the power of a single agent.
“Do you think there will be any arrest?”
“Even if it doesn’t go that far… but still, as much as a sin is a sin…”
“Don’t expect that! As long as Chairman Kang endures, this case will just be buried.”
The two deputies were puzzled by Cheol-woo’s resolute conclusion. This was because the world was watching, and Mingyu was the most likely candidate to take the commander-in-chief among the chaebols who had backed money.
“The world is too noisy for that…”
“So, it’s covered. Will Chairman Kang embezzle even his own son in a noisy yard for tax evasion?”
“········································································?!”
“…Damn, that’s what I heard.”
Deputy Ahn, who had been quietly listening, slammed the table lightly as if indignant. The legs that were supporting the center of the table shook and the coffee cup shook slightly.
“Hey, my coffee!”
“Why are you disassembling it like that, after all, it’s not your business?”
“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much! No matter how chaebol your company is, you can’t let your employees stumble. If it is buried like this, it will secretly freeze the salaries of the employees to make up for the loss, and the bonuses will shrink. because of whom···.”
The person who touched my rice bowl could not help but curse, no matter how good he was. It was the chaebols who did this secretly, but when caught like this, someone had to use poison.
‘Jun-gi Cha, he must have gotten even more mad, right?’
I drank coffee with ice and looked out the window. A small dwarf like Mingyu didn’t even catch his eye.
If possible, I was thinking of catching the guy behind him and presenting it to Hwaryeong. To do that, he had to convince Chairman Kang first.
After drinking tea with the two agents, Cheol-woo came up to Querencia. He was indeed a hideout that he had been coming to for a long time, but he could not find a single particle of dust inside.
The last time Chairman Kang passed over this place, the work that had been managed by the secretariat until now disappeared. After that, Minseok’s secretarial team was taking care of it.
“Gosh! After all, the house is the best!”
Cheol-woo, who was lying on a soft sofa enjoying the sunlight pouring through the coated glass, enjoyed a moment of relaxation. I was addicted to this atmosphere, so sometimes I wanted to go out on holidays.
Of course, he never went to work on holidays on his own feet, but this place felt like home to him.
As Cheol-woo closed his eyes and enjoyed sunbathing, his cell phone rang. Even with his eyes closed, he seemed to know roughly who was calling.
[This is Manager Yang.]
“This yangban isn’t really a tiger either…”
Cheol-woo grumbled and answered the phone.
