[Episode 73] I can’t stand touching my family
Si-woo Lee held the arm that Il-do had raised with a nice smile.
Then, when I applied a little force to press it, the arm went down helplessly.
“How did you get here?”
“Oh, is your guy the representative? The blue young guy… To entrust a redevelopment project to such a guy, Eungryong Kang doesn’t even know how to work.”
Despite Woo Il-do’s provocative remarks, Si-woo Lee did not lose his smile.
“I don’t know why a person who came without an appointment is arguing with our staff.”
“What? anger?”
“How long have you been waiting?”
“Less than ten minutes, sir.”
At Park Chun-sik’s words, Lee Si-woo showed an absurd expression.
It was really pathetic.
“Time is like gold to me. Do you know how much damage you have done to me in that sense?”
“I think my time dealing with the CEO right now is more precious.”
“What?”
“If you came here for the redevelopment of Pyeongtaek, leave as it is.”
“Hey, you’re cheap.”
“I guess you haven’t seen anything really cheap. That’s all I respect as a guest.”
“Hey, I’m not stupid. Do you think a company like a small hole shop that you have never heard of can successfully demolish the redevelopment of Pyeongtaek?”
“I do that on my own. Thank you for your concern, but that’s enough.”
When Lee Si-woo looked down with a cold gaze, Lee Il-do flinched.
The momentum of the blue young man was as good as the president of any other large corporation.
“… Do you not know Daesan Construction?”
“There are countless construction companies in Korea, do I need to know what Daesan Construction is like?”
“Are you going to regret it? Even now, the right to redevelopment has been transferred to Daesan E&C… … .”
“We haven’t even started bidding yet, so I don’t know why there is so much fuss.”
Woo Il-do, who was cocky at Si-woo Lee’s words and actions, hardened his expression.
Nouri was a company that had not yet gone public.
However, Daesan Construction was designated as a full-fledged joint-stock company.
Woo Il-do turned on the light in his eyes and stared at him as he treated himself as the representative of the place.
“The redevelopment bid hasn’t even started yet.”
“The little guy talks very vaguely… With the power of our Daesan Construction, such a small place could be destroyed in an instant… … .”
“Let’s do it.”
“What?”
“Try it.”
“This kid… He respected me because I was the representative!”
“It seems that the CEO doesn’t even know what the words respect and consideration mean.”
Seeing Woo Il-do trying to make a riot, Si-Woo Lee grabbed both of his shoulders.
Then he looked down at him as if crushed.
while smiling brightly.
“CEO Woo, I know my subject in my own way, so I try to put up with any kind of abusive language. But no matter how hard I tried, there was something I couldn’t stand. Do you know what it is?”
“Wow, what do you mean… … .”
“My family. I can’t stand touching my people. Like you said, I guess it’s because I’m blue and young.”
Woo Il-do was completely overwhelmed by Si-woo Lee’s cold eyes.
Despite Lee Si-woo’s increasingly harsh tone, he couldn’t say anything.
The strength of the hand holding his shoulder, the difference in height.
But above all… … .
‘What kind of eyes… … .’
Woo Il-do recalled the fear he felt from the lion he saw at the zoo as a child.
“If you understand what I’m saying, please leave now. I don’t want to use a more radical method.”
After saying those words, Si-Woo Lee fell away from him.
Then, with a very innocent expression, he smiled softly.
“The guests are leaving. And in the future, don’t let people come without an appointment.”
After delivering a word to Chun-Sik Park, Si-Woo Lee went straight to the office.
Even with his appearance, Woo Il-do could not say anything.
He realized that there was nothing better to provoke him anymore.
At that time, Park Chun-sik approached Woo Il-do.
“Let me go.”
“… How do you treat guests? It’s superficial.”
“Yes Yes. Go and think slowly who is vulgar.”
Park Chun-sik urged him to leave and grabbed Woo Il-do’s arm.
Then, Woo Il-do shook his arm violently and shouted.
“Even if I go out, I know how to get out! Where are you going to touch my body with those dirty hands!”
Woo Il-do left Nuri with an annoyed expression on his face.
“ha… … .”
Park Chun-sik, who had been watching him leave, took a deep breath and went into the office with his head bowed.
Moon Jae-shin was currently on an outside schedule due to bidding issues.
Because of this, only Siwoo Lee was sitting in the office.
“I’m sorry, sir.”
Park Chun-sik sincerely apologized to Lee Si-woo.
As much as possible, I did not want to harm him or Nuri with such things.
That is why Park Chun-sik always did his best to avoid saying that he treats customers lightly.
But the situation just wasn’t in his best interest.
“Why are you saying sorry? It’s that person who doesn’t have a case.”
“However… … .”
“The image of the company? It’s important. No matter how you say it, it shouldn’t be said that the customer is being neglected. But such a person is not a guest of Nuri.”
“sorry.”
I couldn’t think of what to say right now.
In response to Park Chun-sik’s successive apologies, Lee Si-woo showed displeasure.
“Even if it’s a very young CEO, there aren’t that many companies that can ignore me and Nuri. I want you to be proud of yourself.”
“Yes, sir.”
“And just forget about today. It’s not Park’s fault.”
Park Chun-sik went out with a bright smile at Lee Si-woo’s words.
Kang Pil-jung, who was waiting outside, came inside.
“Please learn more about Daesan Construction. Is it possible?”
“Available. Let’s dig into Daesan Construction in great detail, sir.”
“Please find out where Daesan E&C’s rivals are. You touched us, so we have to respond. Isn’t it?”
“Whoa, we’ll find out as soon as possible.”
In the past, Nuri did not have the strength and suffered as it was.
But now it wasn’t.
Nouri had the most powerful weapon: recycling.
In particular, for companies that make construction their business, if they could buy materials at a low price, that was also a competitive advantage.
‘The tonnage of scrap metal that can be produced per day is now 15 tons. There aren’t many companies that can reject the offer to buy 15 tons of rebar at a low price.’
I don’t know how big Daesan Construction is, but I didn’t want to leave it as it is.
“I’m thinking of dumping a place called Daesan, how about you, Mr. Kang?”
“I agree.”
“I say to the old woman, but please warn others again that no one will be rude to the staff. Even me and the directors have no authority to do that.”
“I have the same thoughts as you. Starting as a knight, I was able to get to such a high position by meeting the CEO. I know what our employees are struggling with.”
“You came here not because of me, but because of Director Kang’s ability. I just gave Director Kang a chance.”
“Remember? In order to send the temple to the famous mountain, the CEO bowed his head to the Vice President and Director Jin.”
“… I remember.”
“I know who the president is. I never do anything that builds my prestige by position. There are things I learned from seeing and learning from the CEO.”
That day, Kang Pil-joong made a promise.
‘No matter what happens, I will never leave Siwoo’s side.’
And that promise is still valid today.
“I trust Director Kang.”
“I will go out. I will know everything about Daesan E&C.”
How they make money and what corruption they commit.
It was easy to find out.
Kang Pil-jung’s network was wide.
There were many people who could have honest conversations without hesitation, regardless of their position or occupation, not just a joke.
It was really nothing to figure out where Daesan Construction was.
* * *
Kang Pil-joong arrived at the construction site near the Nuri headquarters and got out of the car.
The foreman of the site, who was waiting, bowed his head.
“Long time no see, sir.”
“How were you?”
It was a site with a history of being deceived by DS’s Choi Eun-seok and stopping the transaction once.
The director there greeted Kang Pil-joong with a bright smile.
He was able to keep his position as director because Nuri treated the waste at a cheaper price.
“Come in.”
The manager who guided Kang Pil-joong to the office at the construction site served coffee.
“Sir, there is one thing I want to ask you.”
“Ask me.”
“Do you know a place called Daesan Construction?”
When the name Daesan Construction came up, the director’s expression hardened.
“Do you know where the architecture company I belong to is?”
“Didn’t you say it was Boseong Construction?”
No matter how many different people he met, Kang Pil-joong did not listen to the words of those who became his customers.
I might not be able to remember, so I even wrote them down in my notebook.
Before meeting the warden, I was able to speak without hesitation because I checked the notebook containing his brief information.
“Currently, Bosung Construction is in charge of construction sites across the country. Even if it looks like this, it belongs to a fairly large side in the architecture world.”
“Is that so? That’s the first I’ve heard of it.”
“Because you can’t freely give out company information to anyone. It’s not that important, so I’ll just move on. Daesan E&C is smaller than Bosung E&C.”
“Hmm, how big is it?”
“Um, do you know what Joongshin Construction is? It is currently active in the vicinity of Gyeonggi-do.”
“The builders don’t know. It’s a fact that only I know the business partners.”
“It’s a place you don’t really need to worry about. Daesan E&C is similar in scale to Joongshin E&C. I’ve heard that it has something to do with gangs.”
“Hmm… Commander.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Can you arrange a place to meet the CEO of Bosung Construction?”
If Boseong E&C was on a huge scale, there was no need to find a company to check Daesan E&C from far away.
“Oh, by the way, the chairman said that he wanted to meet the CEO of Nuri. That’s great.”
The warden liked him like a child.
Still, the chairman of Boseong Construction gave an order to make a seat with Si-woo Lee.
That was the reason why he warmly welcomed Kang Pil-joong.
Kang Pil-jung was the only person who could make a place with Si-woo Lee.
“Haha, this is good. Then we will tell our representative. Please make a schedule for this to happen, Commander.”
After the conversation, Kang Pil-joong left the scene with a light footstep.
* * *
The warden quickly changed his clothes.
‘Ha, I was worried I’d say no, but that’s fine. But looking at Daesan’s information, there must have been a conflict? I’ll have to pass this on to the president as well.’
Director Choi Ji-hoon hurriedly left the site and headed for the headquarters of Boseong Construction.
A 20-story building.
Choi Ji-hoon entered the parking lot in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do.
He parked and got off and walked over.
Choi Ji-hoon, who walked to the chairman’s room on the top floor, said to the secretary.
“Tell the president that I have something to tell you.”
“Yes, boss.”
The secretary, recognizing his face, picked up the intercom.
“Chairman, Director Choi Ji-hoon has come.”
[Please come in.]
Jihoon Choi cleared his throat and opened the door to the president’s room.
Then he immediately bowed his head 90 degrees.
“Um, yes. So, have you talked about what I asked for, Manager Choi?”
“yes. This is the way to come after consulting with Nuri’s director Kang Pil-joong, Chairman.”
“Since the industry itself is different, you don’t know how much Boseong is.”
“yes. Although I gave a brief explanation, it would be difficult to estimate the size of Boseong. Stir… I have one more thing to report to you, Chairman.”
“Say it.”
“It seems that Daesan Construction and Nuri collided. It’s just my guess, but… … .”
“Well? Daesan or something?”
When the name Daesan appeared, Park Soo-beom showed a sign of discomfort.
It was a company far below Boseong.
It’s a field where he himself wants to find time to meet Lee Si-woo, but when did they meet in such a place and when did they cause a conflict?
“I haven’t heard the details. Director Kang Pil-joong asked about Daesan, so he answered only what he knew.”
“Well, anyway, is this information Choi’s prediction? Not sure.”
“Yes, it is.”
“Well, I hope that prediction is correct.”
Choi Ji-hoon, who gathered his hands neatly with a tense expression on his face, bowed his head.
“Director Pil-Joong Kang asked us to make an appointment right away.”
“Heh heh, what the hell did Daesan do? Can you find out?”
“I also find it difficult to understand what is happening in Nuri. sorry.”
