[Episode 89] Moon Jae-shin and Jang Cheol-soo’s bad relationship
“Deputy President, I will keep my promises unconditionally. Even though we clean up the branches, we can start over.”
“How can I force my representative to make such a big deal of trouble?”
The damage suffered because of Jang Cheol-soo could not be reversed.
Fortunately, thanks to Si-woo Lee’s quick action, the worst situation was avoided.
“You can repair this amount of damage as much as you want. On the other hand, Director Jang Cheol-soo is unlikely to be revived. The deputy chief’s worries will no longer happen.”
“Even so, the damage I caused to the CEO and Nuri cannot be reversed.”
“The staff will be relieved just by having the Vice President present. Nouri and I need a vice-president.”
“CEO… … .”
“I wanted to ask you a question someday. What happened between Director Jang Cheol-soo and Vice President?”
Moon Jae-shin closed his eyes and recalled the past.
utter mischief.
Like Jang Seong-woo, Jang Cheol-soo was serving as a director of a junk store.
And the representative of the place where he worked was Moon Jae-shin’s best friend.
“He is similar to Jang Seong-woo. On the other hand, it can be said that it was a successful case.”
My friend completely trusted Jang Cheol-soo.
But he responded by betraying his faith.
In the end, Jang Seong-woo failed to take over Nuri, but Jang Cheol-soo devoured his friend’s business.
“I have a friend I have known for a long time. And Jang Cheol-soo was the guy who worked for him… … .”
Lee Si-woo’s expression hardened when he said that he was a person similar to Jang Seong-woo.
“It was a target similar to Myeongsan, but Jang Cheol-soo did all kinds of evil and took away his friend’s business. Later, he even threatened to force his friend to death.”
“okay.”
“In the end, my friend made a bad choice on his own due to feelings of betrayal and pressure… passed away I did my best to find the honor of that friend, and then I met Woo Cheol.”
Fortunately, with Shin Woo-cheol’s help, he was able to uncover all kinds of evil deeds of Jang Cheol-soo.
But the saying that money is better than the law was not for nothing.
He was sentenced to probation and smoothly escaped the courts.
“At that time, Woo-cheol said he was sorry for not being able to catch Jang Cheol-soo. I’ve heard that there is a tycoon who looks after Jang Cheol-soo. So from then on, I gave up halfway.”
“If you are a giant… … .”
“The father-in-law of Jang Cheol-su is Yoon Cha-ryeom, the party leader of the Bright Future Party.”
“ah… … .”
“Maybe Jang Cheol-soo will get out with his help this time too. If I get this out of the way, he’ll haunt me again.”
“So, are you worried? Are you afraid he will come out like a loach this time too?”
“Yoon Cha-ryeom is not a formidable person. If you look at those personal connections and political careers, you will be able to get Jang Cheol-soo out safely this time too. If Jang Cheol-soo’s corruption is known, it will be a huge blow to him.”
Even for his political life, he has no choice but to support Jang Cheol-su.
Politicians were sensitive to family corruption.
If Jang Cheol-soo could not get out and was sentenced to prison, it was clear that Yoon Cha-ryeom would also suffer.
“I wonder why the son-in-law of a giant like that is holding a board position at Daehan Steel?”
“Cha-ryeom Yoon is raising political funds under the name of Cheol-soo Jang. It was because they were aiming for the presidential election.”
“Then, if you catch Jang Cheol-soo properly, Yoon Cha-ryeom will come naturally.”
“It is possible, but… It may be difficult.”
A single junk dealer could not get involved in politics.
They had extensive connections and power.
It was understandable that Shin Woo-cheol missed Jang Cheol-soo.
“It might be a little different this time.”
Kang Eung-ryong belonged to the Peace Party, which was in conflict with the Bright Future Party.
The Peace Party and the Bright Future Party have always been in constant conflict.
“Governor Eung-ryong Kang will not do it for Cha-ryeom Yoon.”

Shin Won-sun, who returned to Gangdong after looking back at Nuri, smiled faintly.
“Did you like it, Chairman?”
“very. He’s a good person.”
“I thought so. It is not for nothing that I cling to this representative.”
“At first you refused, but after the famous mountain collapsed, you accepted the offer, didn’t you?”
“Yes, Chairman.”
I knew that Won Jae-joon was trying to bring Lee Si-woo into Kang-dong.
But I didn’t understand.
Won Jae-joon was one of the leaders who led Kang-dong, and there was no need to cling to it with a sad voice.
But now that I have confirmed Siwoo Lee’s potential, I have changed my mind.
“Good job.”
“thank you.”
“At first, I was just trying to kick Jang Cheol-soo out of Daehan Steel… I think I should give Lee Si-woo a present.”
“Well… Do you have a crush on Party Chairman Yoon Cha-ryeom?”
Shin Won-sun liked Lee Si-woo very much.
While serving as the chairman of the Imperial Steel Works for 10 years, Shin Won-sun was often praised for his excellent eye for seeing people.
He did not see people based on academic background or blood ties.
He was hired based only on his character and talent.
And the talents he discovered were still playing an important role in ironmaking.
“Even though I haven’t seen Moon Jae-shin, CEO Lee Si-woo follows him like his father, right?”
“yes. I once said that the person that Siwoo Lee believes the most is Vice President Moon Jae-shin.”
“If Vice President Moon Jae-shin leaves CEO Lee Si-woo, it may take time for his talent to blossom. Call Kang Eung-ryong and tell him to have dinner or a meal. I’m going to meet the head of the prince group for a while.”
“Chairman, are you going to come forward?”
“Now that you have met a talented person you like, shouldn’t you help your talent blossom?”
If Lee Si-woo hadn’t been involved with Shin Ae-ra, I wouldn’t have had the heart to do it this far.
However, looking back at Nuri, I realized that Si-woo Lee was not a formidable talent.
Shin Won-sun was about to get up to meet the head of the prince group.
“Chairman, the lady has come.”
The secretary performing Shin Won-seon hurriedly entered the president’s office and reported.
After becoming a civil servant, she was a granddaughter who never came to Gangdong.
“Ara?”
“yes. They say you passed the lobby now. It will be arriving soon.”
Shin Won-sun smiled at the secretary’s words and said to Won Jae-jun in front of him.
“Jaejun-ah, I think this representative could be a Dong-a line for me.”
“yes? what is that… … .”
“It was the first time Ae-ra visited since Gangdong was founded. The purpose of the visit is probably because of CEO Lee Si-woo.”
“Do you think the young lady cares so much about CEO Lee Si-woo?”
“You’ll find out if you watch it.”
After a while, Shin Ae-ra appeared in the president’s room with a proud step.
“What about your grandfather?”
“You’re inside, my lady.”
“Can I come in?”
“of course. Come in.”
I passed the secretary guarding the front of the president’s room and grabbed the doorknob.
Shin Ae-ra, who has been living as a public official without any regrets, needs the help of Shin Won-sun this time.
She took a deep breath and opened the door to the president’s room.
“It’s been a while, miss.”
“Iknow, right. How have you been, sir?”
“Hey, I’m always doing well.”
“I have something to say to my grandfather, but can you spare a seat?”
“I was just about to leave. Well then, see you next time.”
“yes. After all, I was going to meet you too, but I will go to the office after the conversation.”
Jae-Jun Won got up and left the president’s room.
Shin Ae-ra, who looked at Shin Won-sun’s mysterious eyes, sat down.
“Even if dirt gets into your eyes, you were the one who declared that you would never come to Gangdong, Aera.”
“… To be honest, I didn’t want to live like my father.”
This was the story that should not be brought out the most in front of Shin Ae-ra.
Talking about Shin Won-sun’s son and Shin Ae-ra’s father was a forbidden word that should not be spoken of.
“Let’s talk about that later. By the way, why did you come all the way here while overturning your promise?”
“Please finish moving Jang Cheol-soo clearly.”
“why? Are you sure he’ll get out safely this time too?”
“Honestly, it is not difficult to get Jang Cheol-soo out of the party if Party leader Yoon Cha-ryeom puts his mind to it.”
“If I help you with this, what can you do for me?”
Since he had asked for it, it was natural that he should be compensated for it as well.
Shin Won-sun and Shin Ae-ra were no ordinary grandfather and granddaughter relationship.
“I will go home at least once every three months.”
“Once every three months… Are you going to sleep?”
“… If Grandpa wants it.”
“Haha, I don’t even want to go to sleep. Even if I only illuminate my face once every three months, I should be able to sense it.”
She was a granddaughter who had not even shown her face for two years.
A stubborn granddaughter came to him and offered him this condition, but no grandfather would refuse.
“I’ll make sure Jang Cheol-soo doesn’t escape.”
“Thank you.”
“Let me ask you one thing. Is it for Kang Eung-ryong or CEO Lee Si-woo?”
Shin Ae-ra was silent for a moment at Shin Won-sun’s question.
It was the first time I had ever tried to help someone to this extent.
If it was for Kang Eung-ryong, he would have asked Shin Won-seon to help him.
However, even if Kang Eung-ryong was an important person to Shin Ae-ra, he never thought of sacrificing himself for him.
“It’s not because of the governor.”
“okay. i get it.”
That was enough of an answer.
If I asked him to bury Jang Cheol-soo for Kang Eung-ryong, I never thought he would.
“And Grandpa.”
“Say it.”
“I would like to meet CEO Lee Si-woo once. I think he’s a good person enough to like my grandfather.”
“I have already met you. As you say, he is young, but his business talent is definitely outstanding.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“Don’t worry about Jang Cheol-soo. I will make sure that he is sentenced to prison.”
Shin Ae-ra got up from her seat with a sad expression on her face.
“Aeraya, when you have free time, let’s have dinner or dinner.”
“… I have free time tomorrow. I will go home.”
“Thank you.”
“I think my grandfather was old too. Say thank you.”
“I don’t know. Because you are old.”
“Take care of your health. I’ll go see you.”
When Shin Ae-ra left, she sat down for a while and looked at where she was sitting.
inconsistent relationship.
Now I thought I wouldn’t be able to put it back together.
‘Maybe Lee Si-woo can be the person who can untie the knot between Ae-ra and me.’

Cha Hye-ryeon looked at the young woman who suddenly appeared.
“How did you get here?”
“I came to see you. Are you inside?”
“Are you talking about Mr. Won?”
“Yes, I will go in.”
Won Jae-jun opened the door to his office without his permission.
When Shin Ae-ra opened the door, Won Jae-joon, who was waiting, smiled kindly.
“It’s been two years, miss.”
“Iknow, right. I didn’t know that you would follow Grandpa all the way from the prince to this place.”
“Because it is the president who brought me out of the water, who was at the bottom of my life. Come inside. Tea secretary, bring me two cups of tea.”
Shin Ae-ra, who sat on the sofa in Won Jae-joon’s office, sighed deeply.
“You said you would never visit, and you finally came.”
“… I have a favor to ask Grandpa.”
“Is it because of Governor Kang Eung-ryong? The reason is probably because of the director Jang Cheol-soo.”
“It’s not because of the governor. To be honest, if that were the case, wouldn’t we have come and asked Grandpa right away?”
“then… Is it really because of CEO Lee Si-woo?”
Shin Ae-ra was silent as she opened her eyes and asked the question.
Why do you care so much?
It’s just that we’ve only met a few times for business… She didn’t understand either.
But Lee Si-woo’s sad eyes caught my heart.
When talking about Kim’s grandmother, I glimpsed sadness and unknown depression in Siwoo Lee’s eyes.
It was full of emptiness, like his own eyes.
“It’s up to you to decide.”
“… All right.”
“How do you see CEO Lee Si-woo?”
“I think he is a representative with great talent. He has a strong human side, and he is not a personality driven by profit.”
“is that so?”
“I saw the style as weak to the weak and strong to the strong. Because he doesn’t press down on people below him with his position.”
“Then are you willing to help CEO Lee Si-woo?”
“Honestly, it was half and half before the lady came. Well, it would be good if it went well, but even if it didn’t go well, it was only a little bit sad.”
“Now?”
“100%, I hope CEO Lee Si-woo succeeds.”
“That’s fine. I have the same thoughts as you.”
Shin Ae-ra and Won Jae-joon looked at each other and smiled.
