[Episode 87] Director Jang Cheol-soo
Kang Pil-joong objected to Si-woo Lee’s decision to completely clean up the branches.
It happened because of his negligence in management, but the branch was absolutely necessary for Nuri in the future.
“CEO, even considering the cost of transportation, other branches are considered essential.”
“I know. However, it is the right thing to do if you see this.”
“Still, you should consider it one more time… … .”
“What do you think, Director Jin?”
Jin Jun-sik made eye contact with Lee Si-woo.
Unsurprisingly, Jin Jun-sik just stood still with a bitter expression on his face.
He had no reason to object.
The shortcomings of the branches being scattered in each area were clearly revealed in this incident.
“I will follow the will of the representative.”
“Director Jin… … .”
At Jin Jun-sik’s words that he would follow Lee Si-woo’s will without any objection, Kang Pil-joong put on a sad expression.
“still… Could you please leave the 4 branches that were the headquarters of Myeongsan?”
“… All right.”
“Perhaps the deputy president will not object to the president’s decision.”
Jin Jun-sik realized that he had been tied to the afterimage of a famous mountain in the past.
Someday, based on each point, the famous mountain will be revived.
I believed so.
So when I heard that each branch was being processed, my heart was pounding.
But he also knew.
With this kind of mindset, nothing happens.
The disappearance of the branch did not mean that the promise I made with Siwoo Lee disappeared.
The person named Siwoo Lee is also not the type of person to pretend to not know and keep his mouth shut.
“I will tell the deputy chief. Closing the branch doesn’t mean I won’t keep my promise.”
“I trust you.”
When the conversation with the two was over, Si-woo Lee headed straight to the place where Jae-shin Moon was.
Now he was sitting in his office, alone in thought.
“Vice President.”
“Ah, President… … .”
As Moon Jae-shin tried to get up from his seat, Lee Si-woo quickly sat down across from him.
“I have something to discuss with you.”
“It must be about the branch.”
“yes. It seems like it would be difficult to lead the branches like this.”
Moon Jae-shin looked at Lee Si-woo quietly.
Although it was certainly not Lee Si-woo’s fault, his eyes were full of regret.
He seemed worried that the decision he had made this time would hurt him.
As the head of a company called Myeongsan Steel, and now as the deputy representative of Nuri, Siwoo Lee’s decision was very reasonable.
“CEO, you don’t have to look at me anymore.”
“still… … .”
“Honestly, I’ve been thinking a lot about this. Seeing how Nuri suffers from the problems between me and director Jang Cheol-soo, I think I misunderstood.”
“Vice President… … .”
“It makes me wonder what it would have been like if I had retired at that time.”
“I hope you don’t think like that. The Vice President is an important person who cannot be absent no matter what anyone says.”
Moon Jae-shin’s shoulders, who had always seemed reassuring, seemed particularly small today.
Although the appearance of the incident seemed to have originated from Jae-Shin Moon, Si-Woo Lee was well aware that it was not the only problem.
“I don’t want to see Nuri endangered because of me.”
“Why do you think Nuri will be endangered?”
“Jang Cheol-soo, that guy is a man who does not choose any means and methods. He’s clever, and he never misses the goal he’s been aiming for… He’s like a hunting dog.”
“Even so, it will not destroy Nuri. At least in this Nurem where me and the deputy chief are holding on.”
“CEO… … .”
“You don’t have to worry. Now it is our turn.”
Si-woo Lee did his best to get evidence that Director Jang Cheol-soo was behind the scenes.
So I could say this with confidence. Soon, the power returned to Moon Jae-shin’s eyes.
“My original goal was to expand the land around this area and make Nuri even bigger. Although the branches are expensive, they will definitely become the driving force for Nuri’s growth.”
“You are right, sir. I feel like my head is getting refreshed.”
“I’m glad it was helpful.”
“Oh. I’m out of my mind I just persuaded Ahn Gun-woo.”
“Are you talking about general manager Ahn Gun-woo?”
“yes. I had met Jeon Seo-ho before that, and he only made excuses that he did not know until the end. So I persuaded Ahn Gun-woo. Jeon Seo-ho will put all the sins on him.”
The person named Gun-Woo Ahn has not even met Si-Woo Lee.
Moon Jae-shin decided to attack Ahn Geon-woo, not Jeon Seo-ho.
“What have you been talking about?”
“I told you to hand over the data, as I will cover up the connection corruption.”
“Hmm… … .”
“There is only one lawsuit against him right now, connection corruption. He also said that he would hand over the documents related to Jang Cheol-soo if the case was handled well.”
“Are you really going to help him?”
“Fufu, is that possible? We will file a new lawsuit as soon as we receive the data.”
“Which company sued for Connection?”
“A place called M & W.”
“I think we should meet the representative of that place.”
“I have already finished talking with the CEO. Because he knew me, I explained the situation to the representative and asked for his understanding. And today, I plan to go to Ahn Geon-woo to receive the evidence.”
As if he was about to leave as soon as the words had already been spoken, Moon Jae-shin grabbed his coat and got up from his seat.
At that moment, Si-Woo Lee felt an unfamiliar feeling of anxiety creeping over him.
Unknowingly, he grabbed Moon Jae-shin’s wrist.
“CEO… … ?”
“… Let’s go together.”
“Sir, I have to deal with this… … .”
“You seem to be in a good mood, but aren’t you feeling well? You will not be able to concentrate on driving in this state.”
“… … .”
It was a coercion that was close to life, but there was an unfamiliar sense of urgency in Siwoo’s eyes.
“… All right.”
* * *
Jang Cheol-soo, director of Daehan Steel, bit his nails with a look of nervousness.
‘Did I just touch it?’
Moon Jae-shin wasn’t important.
Lee Si-woo, who thought he was just a young, blue-eyed representative, has been putting pressure on himself with his excellent connections.
The governor of Gyeonggi Province took the initiative to investigate public officials who had joined hands with him under the pretext of exposing the corruption of public officials.
wow.
In order to lead Moon Jae-shin to ruin, he has been preparing for this for quite some time.
As part of that process, I recruited civil servants from the Ministry of Environment, and I was nervous because I thought I would get caught up in that.
‘I lost contact with the officials.’
“Director Jang, the president is asking you to come right now.”
“The president?”
“yes. It is said that the president of Gangdong Steelworks has visited.”
“The president of the Gangdong Steelworks?!”
It was said that the establishment of a steel mill even if it was a new company was a company with excellent financial power.
And last year, the sales of Gangdong Works were 2 trillion won.
The fact that the recently established steelworks broke the 2 trillion won mark was proof that it was closely following Hyundai and Jehu Steel.
“It is said that Chairman Shin Won-sun of Kang Dong-gu has done a lot of hard work. As Director Jang knows, Chairman Shin Won-sun is the senior of Daehan Steel Chairman.”
Daehan Steel has a total of ten board members.
This middle-aged man who rushed to Jang Cheol-soo was also one of the directors of Daehan Steel.
Jang Cheol-soo’s expression hardened abruptly at the words that Shin Won-sun had a rebellion.
‘You didn’t realize that Shinuiju and I were holding hands, didn’t you?’
Sinuiju, one of the directors of Gangdong Steelworks, and Jang Cheolsu were alumni.
They worked together in the scrap metal business, and were appointed as senior officers in Daehan and Gangdong respectively.
Jang Cheol-su got up from his seat and hurriedly ran.
As he approached the office of Dae-ho Kim, chairman of Daehan Steel, he cleared his breath.
At that moment, an angry voice was heard.
“Chairman Kim! Do you want to see Gangdong and Daehan clash?”
“that is… Sir, could you please explain what happened? When Director Jang arrives… … .”
Jang Cheol-soo closed his eyes tightly at the sound of pressure on Kim Dae-ho with a profound voice.
“Chairman, Director Jang Cheol-soo has arrived.”
“Let me in!”
As Kim Dae-ho screamed sharply, the door to the tightly closed chairman’s room opened.
And I saw a middle-aged man in his mid-50s who turned his head while standing upright in front of Kim Dae-ho.
“Chairman, you found me… … .”
“Are you a guy named Jang Cheol-soo?”
“… Yes. I am Jang Cheol-soo, Chairman Shin.”
When Chairman Shin Won-sun stared at him, he felt that the five intestines were shrunk.
He was a tycoon with a history of serving as the chairman of the Iron Works before establishing the Gangdong Works.
He was a great person who set up Gangdong on his own, saying that he would establish a steel mill despite the earnest request of the chairman of the Jehu Group.
“Sinuiju, were you trying to play with the guy by holding hands with him? A young boy learns only the bad things.”
Shin Won-sun is 63 years old.
Contrary to appearances, he was quite old.
However, he had a very youthful appearance due to thorough management.
“yes? Although we are alumni with Director Shinuiju, we do not communicate well… … .”
“Don’t lie. Do I seem to be running rampant here without a proper proof? Are you looking at me as water? Hey, Chairman Kim!”
Contrary to his harsh tone, Shin Won-sun stood very noble.
Although he felt a sense of disparity, Kim Dae-ho looked familiar with Jang Cheol-soo and opened his mouth.
“Director Zhang, you have to be honest. Does it really have anything to do with Kang Dong’s director of Shinuiju?”
“No, Chairman! Trust me!”
Shin Won-sun burst into laughter at the appearance of holding it to the end.
“Jaejun, bring it.”
Jae-Jun Won, who was waiting outside, went into the chairman’s room with the materials he had prepared.
And there was another person who strode into the president’s room with him.
He was Kang Eung-ryong, with an expression full of anger.
Kim Dae-ho frowned at the appearance of Kang Eung-ryong who suddenly appeared.
And it was the same with Shin Won-sun, who did not expect his appearance.
“you… Hmmm, Governor, what did you come here for?”
“I came to meet Director Jang Cheol-soo. Because I am here.”
Kang Eung-ryong changed his face in an instant and gave a gentle smile.
“Since you came here in person, it must be serious.”
“yes. It’s very serious. Those who receive their salaries from the people’s taxes colluded with someone and even received bribes.”
“It’s very bullshit, you’re a bitch. tt.”
“It seems that President Shin and I have the same goals.”
Kang Eung-ryong heard Shin Ae-ra’s report and immediately noticed that something unpleasant was going on.
And as a result of investigating the specific officials she spoke of, she found out that she had taken a bribe from Cheol-soo Jang.
There was no need for Kang Eung-ryong to handle this directly, but he was angry at the top of his head.
That is why Kang Eung-ryong stood here to warn Kim Dae-ho.
“… Is it director Jang Cheol-soo who colluded with public officials?”
“That’s right, Chairman Kim.”
Kang Eung-ryong handed the prepared materials to Kim Dae-ho.
They were materials that contained all the audit details for ten public officials.
And Shinwon-sun also handed over the data he found out through Sinuiju.
Kim Dae-ho looked at all the data in detail.
And after a while, his secretary ran in front of Kim Dae-ho with a thick bundle of papers.
“President!”
“Whoa, something else.”
“A person named Si-woo Lee, the CEO of Nuri Recycling, asked the chairman to deliver it, but the contents are… … .”
Usually, in this case, there was no case where the goods were delivered directly to the president.
However, since the sender is the representative of a company and the content is the content, it was brought directly like this.
one more material.
These were the materials that Ahn Kun-woo handed over to Moon Jae-shin as materials that could not be subtracted or added.
“Let’s check the data that CEO Lee Si-woo gave us.”
“Chairman Kim, you will be able to understand everything when you see it.”
Kim Dae-ho, who was trying to postpone Lee Si-woo’s data, stopped at the words of the two.
Then he opened the envelope and checked the contents.
It contained a recorder and the flow of money by Jang Cheol-soo, who gave money to Ahn Geon-woo.
“… So it was. Director Jang, this is the reason why you insisted that Myeongsan should be disqualified from being eligible.”
“Hoe, Chairman, it’s all fabricated evidence!”
“… … .”
Kim Dae-ho looked at Jang Cheol-soo without saying a word and with cold eyes.
The amount given to ten civil servants and Myeongsan’s employees was something that Jang Cheol-soo’s salary could never afford.
This would never have been possible without Jang Cheol-su stealing Daehan Steel’s public funds or committing another corruption.
Eventually, Dae-ho Kim remembered that a large amount of waste was found in scrap metal shipped from Myeongsan a while ago.
“President… … .”
“If you don’t admit it, will it be nothing more than that President Shin and the governor are lying now? Embroider and find the light. That would be the only way you could even save your life.”
