[Episode 45] Our relationship ends here
Yoo Jae-woo gave the notice of dismissal and turned around coldly.
Jang Seong-woo, who was looking at the USB he handed him, hurriedly entered the office.
And when I checked the data on the USB, I felt goosebumps all over my body and I closed my eyes tightly.
‘Is this the reason for the sluggish litigation for two months? How did you find the ledger? The ledger that even I couldn’t find… … .’
Obviously, on the last day I saw Lee Do-woon, the ledger was always there.
However, Jang Seong-woo was in a position to find and secure the ledger before Lee Do-woon’s funeral was over, so no one tried to take it out secretly.
The reason why Siwoo Lee can find the ledger.
That’s because I know Lee Do-woon well.
I always knew where to hide important things.
A small space hidden in a corner of the backyard that no one knows about. Dowoon Lee used to keep important items in the safe placed there.
The password for the safe is designated as Si-woo Lee’s birthday, so it was not difficult to open the door.
However, the books that Siwoo Lee found were only those that were 3 years old.
The rest of the ledger disappeared without a trace of where it went.
Anyway, it was a frustrating situation for Jang Seong-woo, who did not know how Lee Si-woo found the ledger.
“Siwoo, you bastard… … .”
Jang Seong-woo hastily removed the USB from the computer and ran to the car.
I arrived in a hurry while speeding.
Jang Seong-woo, who hastily parked his car at Nuri Recycling, hit the tightly closed entrance with his fist.
“hey! Siwoo Lee! come out!”
It was still 6pm, but the door to Nuri Recycling was firmly shut.
In the yard where not even a single light could be seen.
Jang Seong-wu sat down as if sliding.
“ha… … .”
Jang Seong-woo, who was alone in such an empty space, sharpened his teeth.
‘Why the hell?! Why are you so anxious that you can’t eat me!’
It was not Jang Seong-woo’s fault that Lee Do-woon lost his life.
It was literally an accident by accident.
However, Si-woo Lee seemed to shift some of the responsibility to Seong-woo Jang.
Jang Seong-woo took a deep breath and bit his lip.
‘okay. I was overwhelmed at The K, but it was like being given a new opportunity. You can go back.’
Jang Seong-woo thought it would be good to go back to Nuri recycling and act as a director, just like in the days of Lee Do-woon.
All of a sudden—
At that time, a black foreign vehicle entered the junkyard entrance with a flash of light.
Si-Woo Lee, who noticed Jang Seong-Woo sitting down, parked his car on the shoulder.
“Do you have more to say, Chief Jang?”
“Sioux, I am no longer the manager.”
“You have been cut. Seeing you like this.”
“Thanks to. But now I don’t want to resent you.”
“That’s nice. Is that all you want to say?”
Seeing the shabby Jang Seong-wu, Si-woo Lee frowned as he looked just like himself in the past.
To be honest, I didn’t quit the junk dealer just because I was going to college.
The reason why Jang Seong-woo didn’t want to look was only part of it.
just… … .
‘Because it seemed like the relationship between my father and I was getting farther away… … .’
I don’t know how Jang Seong-wu flirted in the middle.
To that extent, the father and Si-woo Lee did not communicate with each other.
As time went on, the lack of communication between the two worsened.
As a result, many misunderstandings naturally arose.
Si-woo Lee didn’t want to bump into his father over these trivial things, so he quit the junkyard job as if to run away.
“Give me one chance.”
“Are you saying you want me to come back?”
“If you accept me as a director again, I will do my best to make it a target for Nuri Recycling! In the future, I will treat you as a representative and respect you.”
“I do not know. It seems difficult.”
“Siou-ya, think about our relationship over the past 10 years. My brother and I are… … .”
It was because of those years that he endured the tyranny until now.
One way or another, it’s because we’ve worked together in the past.
“Why are you like this?”
“What?”
“You gave me so many opportunities.”
Unfortunately, there was no chance to give Jang Seong-woo any more.
“Did you give me a chance?”
“I gave it. Do you think the time so far is short?”
“that… … .”
“This was my last chance. Even if you say that your father passed away and you left Nuri, you didn’t think that you would be forgiven for betraying your father and taking profits from behind, did you?”
“I did it to live!”
“okay. Everyone wants to earn a lot of money and live comfortably. Still, you must not betray your faith that you will live alone.”
“… … .”
“It is true that we have been together for a long time, just like Manager Jang said. But now I don’t have a father who can connect me with Director Jang.”
perhaps.
Maybe that’s it.
If his father had been alive, he might have persuaded Lee Si-woo to forgive Jang Seong-woo and give him one more chance.
You must have deeply regretted this incident, so let’s accept it again.
Some might say that such a father was stupid or stupid, but Siwoo Lee didn’t think so.
I thought that my father was such a broad-minded person enough to accept even such a human being.
“It was me who gave my brother the chance to start a junk shop.”
What Jang Seong-woo said was true.
It was Jang Seong-woo that started his father’s junk business.
When Jang Seong-woo was leading the business and was doing well, he taught his father many things and made him start the junkyard business.
“That’s why my father must have felt more fond of Jang. In a way, he’s like a teacher.”
“This time I made a big mistake. Just give me one more chance!”
“sorry. I don’t have the confidence to continue my relationship with the former manager.”
Lee Si-woo could no longer trust Jang Seong-woo.
It seemed clear that accepting him to Nuri Recycling itself would be the source of discord among the employees.
“When I first said that I was going to start a junk yard, I was the one who lent the money, and I was the one who broke the business! I have a stake in Nouri!”
not.
His father has already repaid all the favors he received from him.
Since he couldn’t even handle taxes, he gave me a large amount of money in cash.
It was his father who gave him the will to live when Jang Seong-woo’s business went bankrupt and he was living a miserable life.
“My father has already repaid all those favors to Director Jang.”
“What’s so great about giving up just one director seat! If I hadn’t given some of the funds in the first place, I wouldn’t have enjoyed it!”
“It may not be. But it’s a place that doesn’t have the attachment to director Jang, right? If he had been attached to him, he wouldn’t have left.”
If he had claimed the stake for this reason just after his father passed away, Siwoo Lee would not have been able to ignore it either.
He was also very confused at the time, because he had been away from Nuri Recycling for a long time.
But now Siwoo knows.
Jang Seong-woo was not qualified to claim a stake in Nuri Recycling.
“Did you say I wanted to live too? How can I trust you and remain in the world!”
“You should have endured to the end under me as a child. One knows, the other doesn’t. Since he’s a young boy, he can sleep as he pleases, right?”
“… … .”
There was a thing called compatibility between people.
If it’s Lee Do-woon, I think Jang Seong-woo is also worth trying, but Lee Si-woo wasn’t.
Under Si-Woo Lee, he couldn’t afford to embezzle.
Because I’ve already been caught once.
“The relationship between me and the manager ends here. No matter how much I pray and time, I have no intention of bringing Manager Jeon back to Nuri.”
Without him, there was no problem.
No, on the contrary, Nuri recycling was going better than when he was there.
Even Park Tae-moon and Kang Pil-joong divided their territories and worked much more meticulously.
“Does anyone know this yard as well as I do? Is there anyone who surpasses me?”
“Why not? I have.”
“What?”
“It was my living space even before Director Jang came. The only person who knows this yard better than me since childhood is my father.”
Siwoo Lee felt that he was getting tired of talking to him.
Now I wanted to end this sluggish relationship.
Cheolkong-
Si-woo Lee left Jang Seong-woo behind and went into the junkyard.
Even at the moment the door closed, Jang Seong-woo cried out for a chance.
iron lump.
However, Siwoo Lee closed the door without hesitation.
* * *
One month had passed.
Still, Siwoo Lee only did internal activities in the yard and did not have any external schedules.
“Boss, now there are signs that the price of scrap metal will go up.”
Lee Si-woo nodded at Kang Pil-jung’s words.
As seen in Mirae City, the unit price rose by 10 won two weeks ago.
Fortunately, the unit price was maintained for a month.
And until now, Nuri Recycling was steadily accumulating scrap metal.
“Are you slowly getting a bite?”
“yes. Director Jin said that next week, it will go up about 20 won.”
It was worth it to endure.
It had been over a month since the bad news started.
Therefore, it was good news that the unit price showed signs of rising.
However, Siwoo still felt that it was not enough.
‘I’m stacking scrap metal at a faster rate than before, but it’s not enough.’
During that one month period, Si-Woo Lee was able to pile up about 300 tons of scrap metal in the yard.
It was the tonnage written in the book, excluding the scrap made by scrap iron production.
It meant that more than 470 tons of scrap metal were piled up in the yard.
“We need to bring as much scrap as possible.”
“Anyway, the time has come to remove things from the field. I will bring as much scrap as possible for a week from today.”
“Don’t pick up on this or that, let’s bring them all. Not only in Yongin, but in other areas as well, Manager Kang.”
“It’s going to be busy, but I’ll try to get around as wide as possible.”
Meanwhile, Jang Seong-woo has been coming every day since that day.
And every time he begged me to give him one more chance.
But not a single employee greeted him.
“It seems that Manager Jang Seong-woo has given up now.”
Now it has become a habit for employees to guard the entrance when they go to work.
It was because they had to prevent Jang Seong-woo from entering the yard.
For that reason, Park Tae-moon was guarding the entrance to Nuri Recycling without the instructions of Lee Si-woo.
At the very least, it was enough to put a chair at the entrance and sit at the entrance.
“Now it looks like it can’t be removed or put on.”
The lawsuit, which had been flowing slowly, proceeded faster than before.
“Now that the long relationship is being sorted out, Nuri should also prepare to grow.”
“Although the number of customers has increased a lot, it is still lacking a lot. It seems that the amount of scrap metal that comes in per month should be at least 1,000 tons.”
“The amount of scrap metal that came in last month was about 300 tons, so there is still a long way to go. By the way, is it still difficult to convince this deputy chief?”
“yes. He’s such a stubborn guy… I’m writing for a kid. He also hasn’t been able to find a job for a month, so it must be frustrating.”
He refused Yoo Jae-woo’s request to return to The K Besteel, and Lee Seok-jun was still living his life as an unemployed person.
He was looking for a place to get a job, but Yoo Jae-woo was trying to hinder him as much as possible by mobilizing all his personal connections.
“From the perspective of a competitor, it may feel like a spy, so it will be difficult to accept it easily.”
“yes. In addition to Nuri, the two companies competing with The K have already criticized me.”
“Please make time for me sometime. I think I should meet this deputy chief.”
“president… … .”
“I know you are a talented person. What can I do? A thirsty man must go to the well.”
Si-woo Lee wanted to bring Seok-jun Lee before the business grew.
Because he was the person who could fill the most lacking elements in this yard.
Being able to handle loading and unloading and excavators skillfully was a great advantage.
How long couldn’t Siwoo Lee be hanging from the truck?
Park Tae-moon, Kang Pil-joong, Lee Seok-jun.
With these three people, Si-Woo Lee didn’t have to worry about the yard anymore.
“All right. We will make a seat for you soon.”
‘When the price of scrap metal starts to rise, I can’t afford to worry about this manager anymore.’
Now, a month has passed, the city of the future has been updated, and information about the future is being reflected in Si-woo Lee’s eyes.
The unit price to rise after two weeks was 10 won, and the unit price to rise after one month was also 10 won.
A total price increase of 20 won.
‘But the problem is that the unit price may go up temporarily and then drop right away. If you can see the unit price going up this time and brush it off one more time, there won’t be a problem with your money. And see, it’s time to pay your taxes soon.’
