13. Unidentified mastermind (4)
The meeting of Go Chang-beom and Kim Cheol-jin.
The place was just a cafe, and it was a public place.
The fact of the meeting was reported by Go Chang-beom’s errand boy, and Go Chang-seok seemed quite angry.
“Director Kim Cheol-jin is Go Chang-beom?!”
“yes.”
“f*ck, how dare you betray me so openly?”
The intention was blatant.
Kim Cheol-jin knows that Go Chang-beom is on his tail.
Nevertheless, the fact that I met Go Chang-beom separately meant that I would support him without worrying about what Go Chang-seok thought. This wasn’t a normal problem. If a person like Kim Cheol-jin becomes attached to Go Chang-beom, it will be an opportunity for the people at Myungjin Construction, who have been avoiding Go Chang-beom, to think differently.
My teeth were grinding hard.
I grabbed my coat and tried to leave right away.
“manager. “You must be patient!”
“What do you tolerate? Didn’t the person who was farting next to me and trying to get me some beans immediately betray me just because the situation changed a little? A bastard like Kim Cheol-jin should not be at Myungjin Construction. “I’m going to let everyone know what a mean bastard he is.”
“So what do we gain? Rather, all it does is advertise the fact that Director Kim Cheol-jin changed the route!”
This was advice from an executive.
Go Chang-seok stopped walking.
When he seemed to listen a little, the executive continued.
“I don’t know why I’m so angry. Director Kim Cheol-jin has been with us for a long time, so this sudden action without saying a word deserves criticism. But he has already betrayed himself. The reason they met openly at the cafe even though they noticed that we were following them was because they decided there was no need to hide that fact. He is a clever person. “His position as director of the company was not given to him for nothing, and he will certainly try to increase Ko Chang-beom’s power by publicizing his change of mind as much as possible.”
“So you’re telling me to just endure it like this?”
“Yes, you have to endure it. The greatest revenge we can take is to secure the ‘chairman’s position’ and eliminate Director Kim Cheol-jin’s position. Don’t you know that we all only have eyes for the team leader? Please calm down your anger.”
It made sense.
My head felt cold.
Go Chang-seok returned to his seat and spoke to the people looking at him.
“I won’t forget what happened today. I will definitely reward the people in this position for trusting me, but I will definitely crush Director Kim Cheol-jin. It worked out better. In the process of recruiting Go Chang-beom’s mastermind, the person who was most opposed to it was Director Kim Cheol-jin, and now that the situation has come to this, we will focus on recruiting him. And later, when I became the chairman of Myungjin Construction. No matter how much I regret it then, I will never be able to take back this choice I made today.”
“Well thought out.”
“I trust Team Leader Go Chang-seok.”
I crossed my legs.
I leaned over and picked up my phone.
Go Chang-beom’s background.
I was thinking of calling him.
Go Chang-seok thought he would create a new world by announcing his relationship with him in front of everyone.
* * *
Beyond the phone.
When Go Chang-seok heard a muffled voice, he realized something was going wrong.
[I don’t like it.]
“… … I beg your pardon?”
I got up from my seat.
As the executives looked at him with questioning eyes, he walked to a corner of the office and lowered his voice.
“I definitely said I would accept your offer. Not only the position of internal director, but also the power appropriate to it. Are you still saying that you will reject the offer? why?”
My stomach was boiling.
I wanted to scream right away, but I suppressed it because there were eyes watching.
[Didn’t Director Kim Cheol-jin join us? Thanks to this, our power has become stronger, but I don’t think there is any reason to stick to the side of Team Leader Ko Chang-seok, who is weaker than before. No matter how attractive the compensation is, wouldn’t it be meaningful to become chairman anyway?]
“No way. “Was this planned from the beginning?”
His expression hardened.
The moment I heard Kim Hyun-seong’s answer, a hypothesis suddenly came to mind.
Kim Cheol-jin’s betrayal.
It might have been planned.
My judgment was clouded by anger, and I belatedly looked into the truth.
“Yeah, that was it. I was wondering why you suddenly approached me, but it was your intention to separate Director Kim Cheol-jin and me and recruit him. You mean bastard. Do you think you’ll get away with that? I am Go Chang-seok from Myungjin Construction. “This company is my father’s, so do you think it will be possible to take care of it if I go to that extent?”
[It’s funny that I only realized it now, but please speak clearly. I really meant to follow you. If you have demonstrated the ability to repair internal rifts, if you have demonstrated leadership skills to firmly maintain your position. I would have considered doing business with you seriously. I would have thought that bowing my head to you, even if it meant abandoning Go Chang-beom, was a ‘reasonable’ decision. If the power is that strong, it will be difficult to take it down with Managing Director Go Chang-beom’s weak power.]
opened up possibilities.
We proceeded with the plan, but did not set up multiple camps.
[But wasn’t my prediction correct? With just one touch, Director Kim Cheol-jin was forced out, and Managing Director Koh Chang-beom, whom I serve, won him over. So, aren’t you good at managing people? Whether it’s Managing Director Go Chang-beom or you. It’s nothing now. What I can tell you for sure on this call is… … .]
Why?
It felt like an unknown person, whose face I didn’t even know, was smiling right in front of me.
[There is no reason to change lines.]
* * *
The situation has been resolved.
sent all the people
They were only told that negotiations had broken down, but no further explanation was given as to what the situation was.
I drank alcohol.
Go Chang-seok, who had poured himself a drink so strong that his face turned red, put down the bottle roughly.
Quang!
“Tsk, tsk tsk.”
It was funny.
It’s so pathetic.
Born as the successor to Myungjin Construction, this was the first time in my life that I had experienced such humiliation.

“I don’t know what kind of bastard he is, but he’s amazing. “You’re using Myungjin Construction’s succession structure to engage in a fight that will result in no losses at all.”
Hyunseong Kim’s words.
It was clear hostility.
But he took it differently.
Didn’t the other person clearly say this?
If he had proven his abilities, he could have abandoned Go Chang-beom and become himself.
‘The people behind Go Chang-beom have both options. As he said, if I had resolved the internal chaos and controlled Director Kim Cheol-jin well, he would have abandoned Go Chang-beom and held on to the hand I offered him. However, if Director Kim Cheol-jin loses trust and shows an appearance like now, the intention would be to immediately snatch him away and increase Go Chang-beom’s power. A perfect plan that won’t hurt you no matter what choice you make. I stepped into a situation where I had no choice but to suffer.’
It was amazing.
Go Chang-beom.
I could see how that idiot had restored his reputation.
I don’t know who it was, but as he was clearly laying the groundwork behind the scenes, his strength as the eldest son was becoming more and more prominent.
‘But what you said to me… … .’
Jump, jump, jump.
I drank again.
It was only until today.
I drank alcohol thinking it was the last time.
“If I create an advantageous situation again, it also means that I can betray Go Chang-beom at any time.”
It’s not over yet.
Succession plan.
Even the existence behind the scenes.
There is still a chance to get everything back.
Nowadays, it is no longer possible to gain a clear advantage in terms of background or reputation, but one condition is different.
skill.
You and Go Chang-beom are different.
No matter how much Go Chang-beom moves according to the plan like a puppet, that doesn’t mean he can’t show a perfect performance in practice as he hasn’t even graduated from high school. He graduated from a prestigious university and worked at Myeongjin Construction after returning to Daesan. It was the difference between himself and his eldest son. Because his second son’s position could never be compared to that of his eldest son, he lived a life of proving himself every day and engaged in fierce competition.
It’s not just Go Chang-beom.
Middle school, high school, college.
By destroying all competitors in different environments, Ko Chang-seok proved why he should become the chairman.
This time is no different.
Go Chang-seok gritted his teeth.
“Okay, from now on I’ll prove my abilities.”
Leave the faction fighting behind.
So that you have no choice but to acknowledge yourself based on your skills.
He will prove himself by completely overpowering Go Chang-beom and forcing those behind him to reach out to him again.
“You will appear before me eventually.”
at that time.
I will definitely make him my own.
The day he receives everyone’s recognition, he will ascend to the position of Chairman of Myungjin Construction.
From that day on, Go Chang-seok quit drinking.
He stayed away from women and no longer verbally abused employees.
It was truly the moment when the full-scale successor competition began.
* * *
Unlike Go Chang-seok, who makes a promise based on evil.
Kim Hyun-seong had already forgotten about him.
No matter what he prepared, he focused on his current situation.
phut-!
Pangpang-!
My fist exploded into the mitt.
Every time Jeong Doo-cheol set the hitting position, Kim Hyun-seong’s intense eyes captured the momentary movement.
Bah!
“good.”
Jeong Doo-cheol.
His abilities were certain.
As if to prove that his ability to develop a UFC champion was not a lie, Kim Hyun-sung showed a frightening growth rate under Jeong Doo-cheol’s teachings. But the thirst still did not go away. He proved that he has become stronger by defeating Shin Young-min, but Kim Hyun-seong’s goal was not satisfied with that.
Golden Circle.
A group where Choi Tae-jun could barely get a B grade.
I felt ashamed.
In order to deal with the Golden Circle, you needed to have the ability to at least overwhelmingly defeat Choi Tae-jun’s level.
Bah!
Bang, bang, bang!
Movement became faster.
The muscles were swollen.
Every day.
I didn’t spend it in vain.
I constantly developed a plan in my head and worked hard to shape my body at the gym every day.
Sharper.
More destructively.
The body changed.
When all the training was finally over, Kim Hyun-seong collapsed, exhausted as always.
dump.
“Haha, haha.”
“Good job. I said it from the beginning, but you are such an idiot. Even the most professional athletes can’t push themselves to the limit every day, but you use up all your stamina. amazing. You too, and… … .”
next to it.
dump.
Kim Si-woo also stretched out.
Kim Si-woo also saw Choi Tae-jun fighting and increased the intensity of his training, saying that in order to help Kim Hyun-seong, things couldn’t continue like this. He too was drenched in sweat. Since he usually sweats a lot, his hair was mushy and brittle.
“Kim Si-woo, you too. “I guarantee you, every day you become stronger than ever before.”
There was no answer.
I didn’t have enough stamina left to answer.
Hyunseong Kim looked blankly at the ceiling.
Even though the day was repetitive, there was no regret.
Future plans.
There isn’t much left until the bait is caught.
On the contrary, I felt regretful that I couldn’t try harder.
I was happier because I could do something like now, rather than when I was unable to do anything and was living in a vegetative state.
It was then.
Tiring.
Something appeared on the phone screen.
It was a text message from Go Chang-beom.
[It’s a gift.]
And a few minutes later.
[You have won the subscription for Noblesse Apartment.]
Kim Hyun-seong’s eyes shook greatly from one short line of text.
