The hotel’s fine dining restaurant.
Choi Gyeongjun saw the person walking and quickly stood up.
“Welcome, Chairman!”
Lee Geon-wook, the chairman of the Shido Group, nodded and answered when he saw Kyung-jun Choi greeting him politely.
“How are you?”
“Of course. This is the first time since I saw you at the Blue House businessmen’s dinner party. You seem to be a little younger.”
“Hahaha! Is that so? Take a seat.”
The two drank a glass of wine each while briefly chatting about what they were up to.
“So, why did you suddenly ask to see me?”
Choi Kyung-jun looked at Lee Kun-wook with serious eyes.
“I wanted to ask you why because I thought you were accumulating too much of our group’s shares these days.”
Lee Kun-wook saw Choi Kyeong-jun fiddling with his earlobe even when he was talking to him.
‘It looks like Chairman Choi can’t change that habit even if he makes such a fuss. ‘Is that what you do when you’re nervous?’
Lee Kun-wook asked, laughing inwardly.
“Did it look like that?”
“My father is also a little worried.”
“Think of it as an investment. After working with Hanyoung Group, I realized that it was a very solid company, unlike its ranking in the business world.”
“But you have already acquired 3.2% of the shares, so it would be difficult to do more.”
‘I didn’t think it would be sensitive in that way, but it was faster than expected.’
“Okay. Seeing my boss Choi’s face, I won’t criticize him any more.”
“Not now, but someday this is the group I will inherit. Even then, I would like to have a good relationship with the chairman. You are well aware that sales have soared through collaboration between Shido Department Store and Hanyoung Electronics.”
‘What group will you inherit someday?’
Lee Geon-wook’s eyes sank.
“Of course. Sales have grown by 28% since last year.”
“When we are separate, we may be a mediocre group, but you know well that when we work together, the synergy effect is explosive. If we continue to maintain this relationship, the company will grow faster.”
“I agree.”
“thank you.”
“Again, it was simply for investment purposes.”
Lee Geon-wook said to Choi Kyeong-jun with a slightly displeased expression.
“Is that what you called me here to say?”
Kyungjun Choi shook his head, still playing with his earlobe.
“No. I think that the city and city groups and the Korean-English groups are partners that should go together. Although we started with a topic that may be somewhat unpleasant, it will certainly not be a waste of time for you, Mr. President.”
“Just get to the point.”
Choi Kyung-jun smiled and nodded.
“Do you still have any regrets about the car business?”
“Well, of course. It’s the business I wanted to do the most.”
“Manufacturing will be difficult because the Korean market has now become a monopoly market.”
Lee Geon-wook also nodded.
“That’s why it’s a shame. I should have invested in cars, not department stores!”
“Haha, the department store ended up being a good investment. Isn’t it the core business of the Shido Group now?”
“Well, that’s right. So, why did you bring up the car story?”
“A business plan related to automobiles was posted at our group headquarters.”
“The Hanyoung Group is going to make cars?”
Lee Kun-wook’s forehead was wrinkled.
“I don’t know because my father doesn’t reveal his true intentions, but I think there is no need for the city and city groups and business divisions to overlap.”
Choi Kyung-jun almost kicked out CEO Yu Ji-hoon in order to solidify his position in the group.
I also knew that Yoo Ji-hoon, who was outraged by this, joined hands with Choi Oh-jun.
Recently, with the explosive growth of Hanyoung General Trading, Yoo Ji-hoon’s position in the group has increased.
At the same time, Choi Oh-jun’s position also grew.
As the succession structure of the Hanyoung Group was reduced to just him and Choi Oh-jun, Choi Kyung-jun was not happy about this situation.
So, I met Lee Kun-wook with the intention of hindering the general trading company from growing further.
The gist of the business is to connect the Shido Group and the Volkswagen Group and gain margin between them.
It was a fairly stable business item, and could serve as a stepping stone to broaden the spectrum of general trading companies.
“It’s a business plan from Hanyoung General Trading Company…”
The wrinkles between Lee Kun-wook’s eyebrows deepened as he watched Kyung-jun Choi gently talking to him and stimulating him.
‘A general trading company? Hansoo and Oh Dong-hoon, what are these kids doing?’
Kyungjun Choi said while touching his earlobe.
“If the chairman, who owns a stake in our group, pushes me, I will help him enter the automobile business.”
“Are you talking about holding hands separately?”
Choi Kyung-jun opened his mouth, recalling Lee Han-soo, whom he briefly met and greeted a month ago.
“Unlike the Shido Group, the Hanyoung Group has not yet decided on a successor.”
That sounds plausible.
“Hansoo, why hasn’t this been processed yet?”
Kim Cheol-soo noticed that work that needed to be reported immediately to this afternoon’s meeting had not been completed and approached Lee Han-soo, who had been entrusted with handling the work.
“Well, I kept contacting the person in charge and asked them to handle it, but they haven’t done it yet.”
“So?”
“that is···.”
“Keep waiting?”

Lee Han-soo scratched his head and showed disapproval.
“But if you don’t give me the data, I also…”
“I think I told you about it before.”
Lee Han-soo looked at Kim Cheol-soo with an expression of uncertainty.
There is a sales support team in the management headquarters, and this team collects and organizes necessary data so that the sales team can do its work.
There were times when the sales team just sucked their fingers if they didn’t receive data on related work, and it was a similar situation to the current one.
If you request data from an employee or assistant manager, there is a high chance that they will be pushed down the priority list due to their own duties.
If this side was in a hurry and kept asking and harassing me, they would do the work, but since it was done by humans, the person in charge of that side could criticize me or make me hate them.
“I told you to get to know people related to work whenever you have time.”
Lee Han-soo nodded as if he had finally remembered what Kim Cheol-soo said as if he was just passing by.
“Yes, I heard that, sir.”
Kim Cheol-soo, who had been through this situation too many times, had a sense of what Lee Han-soo was thinking, and he thought it would be better to show it directly rather than explain it in a painful way.
Kim Cheol-soo immediately picked up the phone and looked for Manager Lee Seong-rak of the sales support team.
-yes. This is Seongrak Lee, manager of the Sales Support Team.
-ah! Are you doing well? Manager Lee. This is Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo of Sales Department 3.
– uh! What’s going on, Assistant Manager Kim?
– I heard that you had a hard time because of your daughter some time ago. Are you okay?
– ha ha ha! Thanks to your concern, I think I’m okay. It was a cold. Everyone was nervous because it was their first child.
– aha! I see.
– I’m sure you weren’t calling because you wanted to hear about my daughter who was sick a few days ago, so what was your business?
– Regarding the Singapore case, we asked for some data, but it was too late, so we would like to ask you a favor. This has to be reported by today.
– Oh, did you? Assistant Manager Choi Looks like this lazy bastard hasn’t done it yet. I’ll tell you to hand over the data right away.
– thank you. Manager!
– okay. For something like this, call me right away. If people say things like things like things couldn’t be done because the data was late or something like that in an executive meeting, I’m the only one who gets upset.
– yes. All right. It’s urgent, so please do it right away. Manager!
– okay. hang up hey! Assistant Manager Choi!
Click.
Even before the impatient Manager Lee Seong-rak hung up the phone, Kim Cheol-soo also hung up the phone as he called out to Assistant Manager Choi fiercely.
“Are you Manager Seongrak Lee of the Management Support Team?”
“yes.”
“He’s not in charge.”
“It’s the person in charge’s boss. If the person in charge isn’t doing their job properly, this is the quickest way to do it. And in order to make a request like this, you have to be close to them.”
Hansoo Lee also nodded his head sharply as if he realized something.
“Ah, that’s what I meant.”
“You don’t necessarily need to be close to the person in charge. If you get to know your higher-level superiors, working will be much easier.”
“I understand, Assistant Manager. By the way, Manager Seongrak Lee, how did you know that your daughter was sick?”
“Going to Sky Park to drink coffee is not just to rest. It’s to listen to various rumors and people’s stories.”
“……Mr. Manager, you have a plan.”
“The more time you spend meaninglessly at work, the easier it is to become a meaningless person.”
No sooner had we exchanged a few words than a sound rang in Lee Han-su’s inbox, informing him that a new email had arrived.
“Really, it came right away like you said.”
“Hurry up. I have to see it and go in by this afternoon.”
“Yes, sir.”
Kim Cheol-soo scanned the data with his own eyes and then turned around.
If it wasn’t already made material, it couldn’t have come right away like this.
‘Deputy Choi? ‘I fell in love with childish training of new employees.’
**
That afternoon.
An Jeong-gyu, who came into the conference room late, kept looking at Manager Oh Dong-hoon with a bitter expression.
Oh Dong-hoon tilted his head at Ahn Jeong-gyu’s strange behavior, not knowing what was going on.
“Last time, one of the three items raised by our department as a special business plan was passed and raised.”
Everyone looked at Ahn Jeong-gyu.
When each department submits three agendas, the planning team ultimately selects the three with the highest potential and sends them to the headquarters planning team.
“The plan received good marks from the planning team and was passed and sent to headquarters, but today I heard that the plan was withdrawn.”
Deputy Director Pyo Il-soo tilted his head and asked.
“What is the reason? Team Leader?”
Ahn Jeong-gyu opened his notebook and took out a piece of paper.
It was an official letter sent from the city and city group to Korea-English General Trading Company.
“I heard that the city and provincial groups are already in contact with the Volkswagen Group.”
“Ah, was that the agenda that was withdrawn? Deputy Director Kim Cheol-soo?”
Oh Dong-hoon’s complexion hardened slightly at Pyo Il-soo’s words.
This is because I immediately guessed why Ahn Jeong-gyu was looking at me strangely from earlier.
“Managing Director Park said something like this. Please do a proper investigation and come up with a plan. They say things aren’t the same as they used to be. What are you going to do? Oh, really! I went into the executive meeting and told Managing Director Park something like this. Should I eat it?”
Lee Jun-hak and Kim Cheol-soo’s mouths were tightly closed in the same straight line.
‘You’re going to be annoyed for a few days.’
“Hey, Cheolsu Kim. What do you think?”
It started with calling people by their first names rather than their titles.
“I’m sorry, Manager. We will investigate more thoroughly in the future.”
Kim Cheol-soo also had many doubts, but did not make excuses.
Ahn Jeong-gyu, who was planning to pour out all the frustration in his heart if he made an excuse, sighed when he saw Kim Cheol-soo bowing his head and talking as if he had really done something wrong.
“Let’s do better, okay?”
“Yes, Manager!”
Ahn Jeong-gyu said while looking at his teammates.
“So this time, not a single plan has been sent from our department to the headquarters. If this continues next year, we will be able to truly engrave in our hearts how dirty, vile, and despicable a person named An Jeong-gyu is. Do you understand?”
Lee Jun-hak and Kim Cheol-soo answered in the loudest voice.
“Yes, manager.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu sighed and turned to the next page of his notebook.
“This is a Ukrainian issue. Yushenko, who had been attacked with poison, has survived. Although his handsome face has disappeared and he is covered in pimples, he announced at a press conference yesterday that he will not give up on the presidential election. Because of this incident, Yushenko’s approval rating is starting to surpass Yanukovych’s. “This is information that I did.”
