[Episode 326] The dead and the living. [Complete]
When I opened the door to the conference room and entered, all the directors stood up and bowed. Their surprised expressions were clearly due to Joo Byung-hae, who appeared with me.
Joo Byeong-hae nodded his head with a benevolent expression.
“I’ll just sit in the corner over there and watch, so don’t worry about me. If you feel uncomfortable, speak up. “Please make room for me?”
“Oh, no. “Advisor.”
When the electronics president hurriedly held out his hand, Joo Byeong-hae smiled and sat down.
The registered directors exchanged glances with each other and showed signs of discomfort.
It’s probably not because of me, but it’s clearly because of torture Joo Byeong-hae… . What is it?
The board meeting began as I sat down in the empty seat at the head of the conference room.
“From now on, we will be holding a temporary board meeting of Sunyang Products and Sunyang Electronics. The agenda item concerns the appointment of the company’s general CEO. Directors, please express your opinions.”
They just looked at each other and no one spoke. The presidents of Electronics and C&T and several executives leading factions should first voice their approval, but they too are keeping quiet.
Young people, bounce.
It is the final silence before the declaration of surrender, but they know full well that it is not very useful.
I looked at the faces of the Electronics and C&T CEOs in turn and smiled.
“Are you two still counting? Or are you just showing me what little pride you have left?”
“Oh, no.”
The two suddenly stood up and started clapping their hands.
As a signal, about 30 registered directors quickly stood up and clapped their hands.
“We declare that this agenda was passed unanimously.”
I slowly got up and bent down.
Even though he had acquired the two companies that were his final targets, he was strangely calm.
As I straightened my back, Advisor Joo Byeong-hae came next to me and patted my back.
“Good job.”
His short words felt like my grandfather was talking to me.
Yes, I worked hard for a really long time.
* * *
The moment Advisor Joo Byeong-hae stepped into the Sunyang Group Chairman’s office, his eyes were already moist.
Did you think of the most spectacular moment in your life? Or maybe she remembers her grandfather?
I walked slowly and sat down on the office chair. The feel of the stained leather of the armrest was like the touch of a grandfather.
“How do you feel? “How did you feel about sitting there?”
“That’s just the way it is. “It’s normal to be overjoyed, but you’re calm.”
“It will be because I am sufficiently qualified. “If it were an undeserved position, I would have been overjoyed.”
Advisor Joo Byeong-hae changed his fedora.
“I saw you sitting there, so I’m going to come down now. Finish all the remaining work and come down. My older brother Sanso also moved to Yongin. “Maybe it’s because I’m old now, but I find it difficult to be a gravedigger.”
“Would you like to get some rest while you’re here?”
I quickly got up and caught him.
“done. “I’ve seen what I wanted to see, so there’s nothing more to see.”
“Little grandfather. Is that all it is?”
“huh? What are you saying?”
“I don’t think that’s the whole purpose of coming to Seoul.”
“Wow, you have one clue… . haha.”
Advisor Joo Byeong-hae raised his cane and pointed outside.
“I came to scold anyone who was crooked during the board meeting. “And I even thought about tearing his mouth out if Youngki broke into the board meeting.”
As expected, he was planning to replace his grandfather.
“Little grandfather. “Aren’t you looking at me too sloppily?”
“what?”
“I released people and surrounded my uncle’s house. You can’t leave the house. And the electronics executives have already bowed down to me. Today’s board meeting was a formality. haha.”
The old man, startled, shook his head.
“Toxic guy. It’s the same with all expenses. I’m going. “Nothing will come out.”
He pushed me away when I was trying to see him off and stormed out of the chairman’s office.
As I walked slowly through the remaining chairman’s office and looked at each and every trace of my grandfather’s hands, the intercom rang.
1 Chairman. The CEOs of affiliate companies are waiting to greet you. What should I do?
President… . This is my title that I need to get used to now.
“They only asked the presidents of electronics and products to come in and sent everyone else away. “I will meet you after the inauguration ceremony.”
When I turned off the intercom, the two presidents came in and bowed their heads as if they had been waiting.
“Congratulations. President.”
“I’ll say hello later and let you know what needs to be done quickly.”
“Ah yes. President.”
Two people sat in front of me with nervous expressions.
“We are disposing of all domestic and foreign assets held by the Electronics and Products affiliates for private use. House, villa, charter plane. Includes car and various memberships. The same goes for all items inside your home and vacation home. If anyone claims ownership of an item, ask them to prove it. Before that, they cannot take even a spoon or slipper out of the property. “We give you a three-day deadline.”
He gave instructions at length to evict my uncle’s entire family from the house.
The two were taken aback by this harsh instruction, but they knew they couldn’t avoid it.
“We will also begin a large-scale audit of affiliated companies. So please be sure to comfort your employees so they don’t get agitated.”
They were astonished by the second instruction.
Doesn’t this mean that you will dig into the corruption of affiliated executives?
“do not be surprised. I’m not the kind of guy who’s so stubborn that he even touches executives. There are only two targets: Jinyoungki and Jinyoungjun. Do you understand? “I ask for your cooperation.”
They also guessed that taking over the group was not the end but the beginning. The ultimate goal is the destruction of Jinyoung-gi and his father.
Just as Chairman Jin Yang-cheol erased the traces of his older brother Jin Soon-cheol.

“Ah yes. I’ll keep that in mind. President.”
“If you take care of these two, I will leave the company to you two. You already know it, right? I’m not deeply involved in management? “If you perform well, you will stay in that position for a very long time.”
After all, for salaried workers, preserving their job is the best gift.
The two presidents returned with bright expressions and bowed their heads as they retreated.
As soon as they left, Chairman Hakjae Lee came in laughing.
“What? Doesn’t that place suit you quite well? Hahaha.”
“Are you here?”
When I was about to get up, he waved his hand.
“Just sit down. “It’s been a while since that chair found its owner, so I have to get used to it.”
“Chairman, it’s been a while since you’ve been in this room, right?”
He, too, slowly looked around and opened his mouth, as if he had new emotions.
“The breaking news has already appeared. “Are you getting a lot of congratulatory calls?”
“I blocked the calls and turned off my cell phone. “I’m going to take care of urgent matters first and then take my time greeting people.”
“The first thing we should do is buy back treasury stocks of C&T and Electronics, right?”
“yes. We have prepared everything so that we can proceed as soon as the official announcement is made. “Within this week, the group will become vertically integrated.”
“It’s fast, as expected. The media was in an uproar, right? The new captain of Sunyang Group. There are so many articles praising it that it feels strange. Especially in Hanseong Ilbo.”
“It’s so cruel, isn’t it? “My father was kicked out, and he should praise me for making it happen.”
“Because it’s work. “You have to endure cruel humiliation.”
“Now you will suffer even more humiliation. “There will be no business with Hansung Ilbo for the time being.”
“for now?”
“yes. Until Youngjun raised a white flag and asked for his life. “If Youngjun thinks about his children, he will raise his eyebrows.”
“Toxic guy. “You just destroy the old people.”
“It’s my grandfather’s way.”
Hakjae Lee smiled bitterly. This is because I realized that there was going to be a bloody storm.
“What about reorganizing affiliates?”
“The people who were influenced by my uncle or Youngjun should be eliminated. They are now bowing down to me in order to survive, but what can they do? The king has changed? “If everyone had just resigned, my heart would have been shaken.”
“Just get it all sorted out. If you were the chairman, you would have done that. and… “There’s one more.”
Chairman Lee spoke with difficulty.
“yes?”
“Merger of Sunyang Group and HW Group. And Chairman Jin Do-jun will sit at the top. To do that, I also need to organize things. “Hehe.”
He is truly a neat and thorough person.
Don’t forget that old deal and let go of everything at the right time.
“Would you like to attend my retirement ceremony during my inauguration ceremony?”
“You cold-blooded bastard. “Shouldn’t we hold on to even empty words?”
“If you were someone who would change your mind just because I caught you, would I have made it so difficult for you? You even complain for no reason. Hehe. So, what do you plan to do now?”
Chairman Hakjae Lee shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
“Oh Se-hyeon told me to come and play. It’s not a bad idea to throw all your burdens on yourself and live leisurely. “I plan to go and see if that’s true.”
It’s different for each person. Hakjae Lee is a person who will stick to his work and use his brain until he dies.
“If you get tired of staying at the resort, come back. I’ll leave one seat empty. “I will always keep you company.”
Would it be appropriate to be vice president?
“I saw it.”
Chairman Hakjae Lee stood up immediately.
“Assemble a working team and send it quickly. We need to discuss a merger. Goes.”
He turned around without showing the slightest regret.
I leaned back in my chair and took a breath. Resting like this only lasts for a moment. You can’t miss the most effective time.
I picked up the phone and looked for Prosecutor Kim Ji-hoon.
一 Hey! I can’t contact you, so what are you doing… no. We should congratulate ourselves first. We will reduce it. Chairman of Sunyang Group. Hehehe
“I’m going to celebrate slowly and do something urgent right now.”
One thing? What happened?
“Jin Youngjun should meet me and threaten me.”
* * *
“President. “The prosecutor in charge has arrived.”
“what? “How does he know this place?”
“that is… “I came to tell you Jin Do-jun’s words.”
Jinyoungjun thought for a moment and nodded. What does the guy who became the chairman want to say?
“After all, there is no way a chaebol would be in a detention center. “This is why people say that when a rich person enters a detention center, he or she won the lottery.”
“Surely you won’t find fault with something like this?”
“Is there anything else I can do to get through this with cuteness? anyway… .”
Prosecutor Kim Ji-hoon sat down on the bed.
“You probably saw the news, right? “Did Dojun swallow up all of Sunyang?”
This guy, who is quite young, speaks informally at the end of every word he says. Jinyoungjun suppressed his boiling inside.
“Just tell me about your business, does the errand boy talk a lot?”
“okay. The 400 billion won worth of Sunyang Corporation stocks that you bought under a borrowed name, the source of the money was money stolen from the company, right? “Dojun said that starting today, they will be looking for evidence that he embezzled 400 billion won by robbing affiliates.”
“These are really… .”
“If I find evidence, I will break it up into 10 billion won and prosecute you. Even if you’re lucky and get probation for all of them, you can be indicted 40 times. So you spend your whole life being tried. Of course, the detention center will become your home. Ah, from next time, motels will be boring. “You will have to live on the cement floor.”
“This bastard… . “Are you kidding me?”
To Jinyoung-jun, who was huffing and puffing, Ji-hoon Kim said quietly with a creepy smile.
“Dojun told me to tell you this. How about living the rest of your life with your group stock instead of going to jail? Think slowly. “Hehe.”
Thinking that Jin Do-jun’s cutting would never stop, Jin Young-jun collapsed on the sofa.
I didn’t even have the strength to stand up.
* * *
Once I confirmed that the work I had instructed was progressing smoothly, I felt relaxed. And I started preparing to go to the person who needed to know that I had become the owner of Sunyang.
I pressed the intercom.
一 Yes, Chairman.
“Prepare a private plane. Right Now.”
一 Yes? Ah yes. All right. But where should the destination be?
“Moldova.”

一 Epilogue.
“Everyone wait here. “I will go alone.”
“President. That’s a bit… .”
I pretended not to notice the embarrassed attendants and held up a black plastic bag.
“are you okay. There is no traffic here. “It’s safe.”
Yunseok Kim stepped forward.
“President. “You know this won’t work, right?”
I sighed when I saw his earnest expression.
“Then follow me 10 meters away. “Is this enough?”
“yes. President.”
He walked forward with about a dozen attendants following him. Although it was more than 20 years ago, it felt as vivid as if it were yesterday. I clearly remembered the forest path leading to the lakeside.
And the blue lake spread out.
Right there, I opened a bottle of soju and lit a cigarette. I had a cough, but I smoked slowly.
I can also vaguely hear the murmur of the attendants watching me like this. Even the sound is like the sound of the forest. The place where Yoon Hyun-woo died and Jin Do-jun was born.
Where did Hyunwoo Yoon sleep? Is it a lakeside forest? Or is it the cold lake bottom?
Looking back, it was difficult to tell whether he lived for revenge or to take over the Sunyang Group. Wasn’t the borderline the point when you no longer had nightmares about a bullet being put in your head?
I stubbed out my cigarette and poured some soju.
Half on the lakeside, half on the lake.
“Now sleep comfortably. “This is enough to make up for the unfair death.”
I looked at the blue lake for a while, just like I did before I died.
It seems like Yoon Hyun-woo’s funeral has been completed.
Now I must forget about the dead and return to the living.
Not Yoon Hyun-woo, but Jin Do-jun… … .
