13. Unidentified mastermind (3)
It was the same repertoire.
Kim Cheol-jin, who refused to answer the phone and boarded the elevator, had no choice but to answer the phone when he arrived at the first floor.
Take off.
“Are you saying you are behind Managing Director Go Chang-beom?”
[The expression ‘behind the scenes’ is a bit strange, but it is correct if it means what Director Kim Cheol-jin thinks.]
One text.
Kim Cheol-jin answered the call.
I wondered what he was thinking.
The reason why he supports Go Chang-beom, the reason why he suddenly wants to switch to Go Chang-seok, and the reason why he called him out of all the people. In response to an unusual move, Kim Cheol-jin asked about the other person’s intentions.
however.
The answer that came back was unexpected.
[I just accepted the offer intentionally.]
“… … “Intentional?”
[yes. Team Leader Ko Chang-seok wanted to show everyone what he thought of Myungjin Construction. If he had accurately understood and accepted Chairman Ko Myung-jin’s intentions, and if he knew what future Myungjin Construction pursues, he would never have easily granted him a position as an executive director. Some companies do not attach much significance to the position of director, but Myungjin Construction is different. A place for people who completely understand and truly love the company. Since this position is given as a reward for your dedication, isn’t Director Kim Cheol-jin proud of the fact that he is an executive director of Myungjin Construction?]
Kim Cheol-jin’s expression hardened.
It was true.
Even though there was nothing wrong with what I said, I actually got angry.
“So you’re going to make fun of me? “You got that position easily?”
[no. From the beginning, I had no desire for the position of executive director. I just wanted to let you know the difference between Team Leader Ko Chang-seok and Managing Director Ko Chang-beom. I know what you’re worried about. Managing Director Koh Chang-beom has been living like a lily, but as he recently proved, he knows his subject well. If things continue like this, he can’t take the chairman’s position, so he goes to the bottom of the construction site, and he knows that he is inferior to his younger brother, so he will be watched by the executives. Of course, the character of the car repair team will not go anywhere, but didn’t the pouring accident prove that he is a suitable person for the company?]
“Are you really telling me to betray you right now?”
[yes. Please leave Go Chang-seok and come to us. Managing Director Koh Chang-beom is a person who has clear strengths as well as clear weaknesses. His arms are bent inward and he rarely abandons his people, and he will never touch the foundation of the company in order to maintain his position. He may speak rudely to low-level employees, but he is a person who will open his pockets if they get hurt. And if Managing Director Koh Chang-beom takes the position of Chairman… … .]
Kim Cheol-jin swallowed dry saliva.
If you were face to face with the other person over the phone, you would have had a hard time hiding your shaking eyes.
[At Myungjin Construction, which will develop further in the future, Director Kim Cheol-jin will remain in his position.]

Tuk.
I hung up.
Kim Cheol-jin replied that he would think about it, but he realized that much of it had already been overcome.
‘Myeongjin Construction incident. When we hired a professional manager instead of our two sons, the person who stood at the forefront was Director Kim Cheol-jin.’
experiencing regression.
Hyunseong Kim reorganized his plan.
By placating Kim Young-cheol, he takes revenge on Park Min-cheol’s gang and solves the background problem by making Go Chang-beom his guardian. On the surface, it went according to plan, but there were some things that were different from what I thought. One of them was Kim Cheol-jin. In Chairman Ko Myeong-jin’s memoir, he said that executives like Director Kim Cheol-jin strongly supported ‘hiring professional managers’, and the current Kim Cheol-jin was a person who actively supported Ko Chang-seok.
Why on earth is someone like that?
Have you changed your mind?
After much consideration, I concluded that it was not simply for practical benefit.
‘It is highly likely that Director Kim Cheol-jin thought that there were only two options. Go Chang-beom and Go Chang-seok. If you knew all of Go Chang-beom’s trashy anecdotes, it wouldn’t have been easy to support him just because he was the eldest son. Since he sincerely wanted the revival of Myungjin Construction, he wholeheartedly supported Go Chang-seok for the chairmanship, even going so far as graduating from a prestigious university and marrying into a prestigious family. Not the worst, but the lesser evil. That’s it.’
I wasn’t sure.
But it was worth a try.
We concluded that if Director Kim Cheol-jin was truly sincere about Myungjin Construction, he would dislike Ko Chang-seok’s decision to casually give up the position of executive director. It was a plan that was in line with Go Chang-beom’s reputation. In the past, Go Chang-beom was treated as the worst, but with this pouring accident, he could have been evaluated as the lesser evil.
I threw the bait.
It is impossible to know whether to bite this or not.
What is clear is that the moment director Kim Cheol-jin is brought in, Ko Chang-beom’s position completely changes.
‘Director Kim Cheol-jin is the core of the core that brought Chairman Ko Myeong-jin to the position. So far, Go Chang-beom has had difficulties because there is no clear force supporting him within the company, but there is a high possibility that the atmosphere will completely change with just one director, Kim Cheol-jin, changing his mind. From then on, the succession competition will become very interesting.’
First starting line.
Go Chang-beom was overwhelmed in all his abilities.
The first is the background.
The second is reputation.
Third is skill.
By exposing his affair, Go Chang-seok’s position was brought down to a small extent, and his favorable reputation was established through the pour-over incident. Needless to say, Go Chang-seok has the upper hand in terms of skill. Ko Chang-beom was still objectively not a suitable person for the position of chairman, but the addition of Kim Cheol-jin will serve as an opportunity to transition from background to superiority, which is the first condition.
From then on.
Background and reputation.
In a situation where two of the three conditions are surpassed, people’s perception is bound to gradually change.
Go Chang-beom may really become the chairman.
I think Go Chang-beom is really suited to be the chairman.
Life is just a moment.
Kim Hyun-seong looked at his cell phone, which was stained black, and calmly organized his future plans in his head.

next day.
Kim Cheol-jin met Go Chang-beom.
As the steaming coffee was about to cool down, Kim Cheol-jin broke through the silence and spoke to Go Chang-beom.
“Director Chang-Beom Ko. “No, Changbeom.”
“Yes, uncle.”
The name has changed.
When Go Chang-beom was very young, Kim Cheol-jin was one of the many uncles who took care of him.
Uncle and nephew.
It was an original relationship.
Kim Cheol-jin recalled the past.

“Actually, I had high expectations for you. You may not remember, but when you were waddling around and not even able to walk properly, you always followed your father to the site. At that time, there was a lot of work to do to build ordinary houses rather than large-scale construction projects like now, and he would lift a brick and move it with his fern-like hands to help us. “Then, when I saw you fall, my heart sank.”
“… … “I said that?”
“okay. “I don’t know why you’ve grown so much now, but you were really cute.”
Go Chang-beom exhaled and averted his gaze.
How cute.
It was an embarrassing statement.
“And you know I was very disappointed as you grew up. I didn’t study as much as I was told to, but I also didn’t show any interest in the construction industry. There were many times when I had to go to school instead of the kids because they were hitting them, and as soon as I got my resident registration card, I went to a bar on an empty day and hung out with a girl. From then on, I felt that way. You are absolutely not the right person to be president. Rather, Changseok, who works hard, is the right person to be the next president. “I was sure of that until a few months ago.”
It’s both good and bitter.
It was a complex memory.
Kim Cheol-jin’s expression changed.
After finishing reminiscing about the past, he showed a serious expression.
“Director Chang-Beom Ko. “Who is behind the scenes that have helped you all this time?”
From now on, we will no longer be uncle and nephew.
It was a relationship between a managing director and a director.
Go Chang-beom said.
“I can’t tell you who is behind it. “That is the first condition for receiving His help.”
“… … If so, I won’t ask any further questions. Honestly, I was very surprised this time. I remember Managing Director Go Chang-beom as a pathetic idiot who couldn’t even take care of his own food, but starting with the affair incident, he made an effort to become the chairman of Myungjin Construction. I don’t think that was Executive Director Ko Chang-beom’s plan. “The person behind it probably created the overall framework, but that’s not really a problem.”
Go Myeong-jin.
It was just like him.
Myungjin Construction’s leaders pursued similar values.
“More important than who helped us, is that we accepted everyone’s help and produced an ideal result. I admit it. Myungjin Construction needs Managing Director Ko Chang-beom rather than Team Leader Ko Chang-seok. And the ability of the assistant who supports Managing Director Go Chang-beom is also not something an old man like me can deal with.”
A white flag was raised.
To be exact, it was a compromise.
The lesser evil in the current Myeongjin Construction was clearly Go Chang-beom, not Go Chang-seok.
Muddy voice.
Although the words were spoken in an unclear voice, Kim Cheol-jin strangely wanted to believe what the person ‘behind it’ said.
I adjusted my clothes.
He showed courtesy and bowed his head towards Go Chang-beom.
“Director Go Chang-beom. From now on, I will nominate you as the next chairman of Myungjin Construction. Please take good care of me and Myungjin Construction in the future.”
* * *
The conversation is over.
The place where Kim Cheol-jin left.
Go Chang-beom laughed as if it were absurd.
“ha ha ha. “Is this what happens?”
Kim Hyun-seong’s plan.
I was skeptical at first.
When he was told that he would talk to Go Chang-seok and cause trouble, he began to suspect that he might be trying to betray him. It was a natural concern. Kim Hyun-seong, whom I had observed so far, did not consider human relationships very important, so I thought he would take realistic conditions first rather than loyalty to himself.
however.
It was different than I thought.
We really did everything as planned, and achieved the feat of bringing in director Kim Cheol-jin.
‘It’s just as you told me. Kim Hyun-seong proved his faithfulness.’
Go Chang-beom and Go Chang-seok.
We have become worse than family.
Since he intervened in that relationship and hit Go Chang-seok in the back, Go Chang-seok’s resentment towards Kim Hyun-seong is bound to grow stronger. It is not simply a plan to weaken Go Chang-seok’s power and boost himself. By revealing his true identity and striking Go Chang-seok, he proved his sincerity that there would be no compromise with him.
That heart.
Go Chang-beom was satisfied.
Even though he lived like a scoundrel all this time, Go Chang-beom was the one person who absolutely hated betrayal.
‘Yes, since you have proven your faithfulness to me, I must live up to your expectations. I’ll do anything as long as you don’t betray me.’
Jump, jump, jump.
widely.
I drank coffee.
He drank all his cold coffee, put it down roughly, and stood up.
He knew it too.
The deal with Kim Hyun-seong is not simple.
Hyunseong Kim had caused many accidents so far, but he instinctively knew that he would cause bigger problems in the future.
But it didn’t matter.
Just as the other person shows trust, you also trust yourself.
A man named Go Chang-beom did not live in such a complicated world.
‘Whatever you want from me, it will definitely come true.’
left the place
It was time to get to the scene.
As always, Kim Hyun-seong’s plan went according to plan.
And that time.
Due to Kim Cheol-jin’s betrayal, Go Chang-seok’s office was turned upside down.
