– You will greatly regret this decision today, brother.
– That doesn’t happen. I don’t want to see you, so get out of the way quickly!
Jo Yoon-jeong, who had been unilaterally notified by the disciplinary committee, was walking down the hallway with a grim expression on her face.
Suspension for 6 months due to damage to dignity.
It meant leaving the company.
Even Choi Kyeong-jun, who had been asking for help, was kicked out with a cold face.
There was nowhere to complain.
More than 10 employees testified that they heard them swearing at CEO Choi Kyung-jun.
No matter how much he denied it, saying it was a lie and that he had never done anything like that, it had no effect on the disciplinary committee members.
There was not a single person on his side in the conference room.
And all the stories they testified about…
These were the conversations I had with Kim Cheol-soo.
‘That bastard hit me.’
After asking the newly hired secretary to clean up the office, Jo Yoon-jeong went out.
Then I picked up my cell phone and called Kim Cheol-soo.
– Yes, this is Manager Kim Cheol-su.
– you!
Jo Yoon-jeong’s shouts filled the hallway.
– Managing Director Cho. What’s going on?
Jo Yoon-jeong became angry at the voice of Kim Cheol-soo, who was slyly acting as if he knew nothing.
– It would be troublesome if it came out like this.
– I don’t know what I did.
– where are you? Let’s meet and talk.
– It’s work time…
-Then we can talk after it’s over!
– All right. Then when is it convenient?
– Today!
– I think it will be around 8pm when the meeting ends.
When the appointment was made so calmly and easily, I actually felt relaxed.
If I had to make an excuse, I would have cursed or let out the anger inside.
Jo Yoon-jeong, who was walking aimlessly, arrived at the playground of an apartment complex near her office.
After standing still for a while, she soon sat down on the swing and stared blankly ahead.
Wherever I went, it was always the same.
Performance is good, but there is no one next to you.
Neither her husband nor her children are on her side.
A few tears fell, and Jo Yoon-jeong wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
My cell phone rang.
After looking at the screen, Jo Yoon-jeong opened her phone.
– yes. grandfather.
– How did this happen? Go back to work.
– no, I do not want. I don’t want to go back. My relationship with Kyungjun is over forever. I’ll just hang up.
Despite Jo Young-hwan’s worried voice, Jo Yun-jeong hung up the phone.
And then I even disconnected the battery.
The people in the conference room who were looking at him with cynical eyes still did not leave their sight.
I wish someone could comfort me, but there wasn’t a single person I could think of.
‘Have I lived my life wrong?’
She sighed deeply and got up.
**
“Is the prosecutor’s office in the living room of your house?”
“under! This is only my second visit and already? Well, just looking at it, it looks like there’s nothing going on. I’m hungry.”
Seungho Cho saw Jo Yunjeong’s expression and silently took his jacket and stood up.
“Hey, what are you… what do you like?”
“Do you even know what your little brother likes?”
“It’s been ten years. “It’s natural not to know.”
“I still remember what my brother likes.”
“What do I like?”
“Kimchi stew and egg rolls. no?”
“Keuhum!”
Seungho Cho cleared his throat and turned his head.
“Well, you have a good memory. So what do you want to eat?”
“Kimchi stew and egg rolls. “Let’s eat with that.”
“It’s about doing well. Let’s walk. It’s close. But aren’t you working hours right now?”
“I was punished. Suspension for 6 months. “They’re telling me to leave the company.”
“···what?”
“My life at work was messed up because of some damn beggar.” “It hasn’t been long since I came.”
“ha ha ha. Was there someone who punched you? Hey, I’m curious? “Who was it that gave a blow to my self-important younger brother?”
“really! Are you going to be like this too? “I’m having a really hard time!”
Jo Yoon-jeong suddenly cried, and Jo Seung-ho sighed with a shaken expression.

I lost my parents when I was two years old.
And grew up in the hands of murderers.
Now that divorce isn’t enough, I’m in danger of losing my job.
That guy had no choice in life.
Because of Jo Young-hwan.
‘He must have come here because the only one left is me.’
“Cry if you want to cry, man.”
At Jo Seung-ho’s words, Jo Yun-jeong burst into tears that she had been holding back.
**
“What’s wrong with my liver? It’s salty and spicy! “Eating things like this is bad for your health.”
“Did you finish eating while saying that? If it tastes good, just say it’s delicious. “Don’t keep questioning this or that.”
“···.”
“Who is that damn bastard and why did he ask me to meet him in the evening…? “How great would it be if we met at lunchtime?”
Jo Seung-ho was so annoyed by Jo Yoon-jeong that he became annoyed himself.
Jo Yoon-jeong looked at her cleanly emptied bowl of rice and shook her head.
“My brother knows this person too.”
“I?”
“My name is Kim Cheol-soo.”
“Ah, the Choo Seong-tae incident?”
Seungho Cho said that and burst into laughter.
“That friend is quite nice. “Do you have any grudges with Hanyoung Electronics?”
Jo Yoon-jeong narrowed her eyebrows when she heard that it was a grudge relationship.
“what. “Is Executive Director Choo Seong-tae related to that person?”
Seungho Cho immediately closed his mouth and looked into the distance.
Blaming his irrational mouth.
‘Why, to this guy.’
“I found out while researching. “What is the connection?”
“Isn’t that what you were saying?”
“it’s okay.”
“Why do you avoid it? “Are they really related?”
“I don’t know!”
“My brother was the prosecutor in charge!”
Seungho Cho shook his head once more and looked at his watch.
“I have to go to work now.”
“why? Anyway, if you don’t work because of your grandfather, no one can say anything, right?”
“done. Looking at your expression, it seems like you have relaxed a lot. “It was a real mess earlier.”
Cho Seung-ho, who was leaving the restaurant door, suddenly stopped.
“And that person, Kim Cheol-soo. be careful.”
And then he stormed out.
“really. “I have no affection for my brother.”
Jo Yoon-jeong, who was complaining, was about to pack up her clothes and leave the store when the store owner stopped her.
“Hey, sir? “Calculation.”
“yes?”
“The man didn’t do it and left…”
“Ah-oh!”
**
Since the meeting ended late, Kim Cheol-soo took a taxi.
As soon as I turned on my phone, I received a call from Hye-na.
– When are you coming today?
– I have someone to meet in the evening.
– Is he important?
– huh. I’ll go right after the meeting.
– all right.
Kim Cheol-soo closed his phone and looked out the window.
After receiving Jo Yoon-jeong’s call, I realized that Park Jun-hyung’s plan had worked.
The inventory problem was resolved, and the company was now focusing on the smartphone project.
The camera-related CIS, touch sensor, and liquid crystal display were being improved through continuous consultation with partner companies.
Android’s software was almost complete, but a solution for low-power CPUs was still unknown.
‘Isn’t this an environment in which a smartphone can be released yet?’
However, Jo Yoon-jeong asserted that it could be resolved.
‘Is the only thing left to do is to drag Managing Director Cho over here?’
Kim Cheol-soo quietly stared at the streetlights and neon signs of the night city passing by.
I think it will have a happy ending
“customer?”
“···.”
“customer? “We’re all here.”
Kim Cheol-soo raised his head only after the taxi driver called him several times.
The driver saw Kim Cheol-soo smiling awkwardly with an apologetic expression.
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I thought about it for a while…”
Kim Cheol-soo got out of the taxi after paying and stopped for a moment in front of a restaurant.
When I looked up to the second floor, it was the same restaurant I met last time.
I already knew a lot about Jo Yoon-jeong through President Choi Young-jun.
Of course, logical words would not be able to persuade him, so Kim Cheol-soo looked back on some of the persuasion techniques he had used.
Then he entered the restaurant with a calm expression.
Contrary to the warm ondol floor, Jo Yoon-jeong was sitting alone with a cold expression.
Kim Cheol-soo bowed low as usual and sat quietly across from the table.
“He had a smiling face and was hiding a knife in his stomach.”
Kim Cheol-su smiled and answered.
“It’s called Nine-Bokgeom. “You didn’t call me to study idioms, right?”
“If I were to be fooled by you again twice, I wouldn’t be human.”
“Are you thinking of going back to America?”
“what?”
“I heard it was a 6-month suspension.”
Jo Yoon-jeong shouted while pointing a point.
“hey! “It’s because of you!”
“Actually, I still don’t know what I did or how I did it. and···.”
“what?”
“Wouldn’t it be meaningless to talk about the past? Even if we find out why this happened, the six months of suspension will not change.”
“···.”
Jo Yoon-jeong bit her lip tightly as she watched Kim Cheol-soo answer calmly.
“From what I heard, he is a very enterprising person. “Is the reason you called me to bring up something from the past?”
“···.”
“I don’t know how things worked either. So I have nothing to say. “If that’s the case… I don’t think there’s any need for me to be here.”
Looking at Kim Cheol-soo answering with such a serious expression, Jo Yoon-jeong felt speechless.
In fact, as he said, the situation did not change even if we considered right and wrong.
I didn’t come here for that purpose.
‘hmm···.’
Jo Yun-jeong, who felt that the pace of the conversation was suddenly lost to Kim Cheol-soo, bit her lip again.
“I came here because I thought you would make another offer, but if not, I will just get up.”
Kim Cheol-soo immediately picked up his bag and stood up.
Jo Yoon-jeong’s heart became anxious without her knowing because of his words and actions that did not even give her time to think.
It was impossible to let it go like this.
“sit down.”
“Is there anything else you want to say…?”
“There you go, sit down!”
Kim Cheol-soo chuckled to himself.
A method of making the other person bring up a completely different topic instead of talking about what they want to talk about.
Kim Cheol-soo did not sit down right away.
Instead, he stood for a moment and looked at Jo Yun-jeong, whose eyes seemed filled with something, and then slowly sat down.
“I already ordered you to eat, so go ahead and eat.”
“What you want to say is.”
“Why are people in such a hurry?”
Kim Cheol-soo took a sip of the water in front of him and quenched his thirst.
Jo Yoon-jeong is still glaring at her.
“You said it here last time. “What kind of future do you envision after smartphones came into the world?”
“···however?”
“I think the managing director was very interested in smartphones. That’s why you tried to bring SKY Teletech to Hanyoung Electronics.”
“···.”
“I heard that you even worked as a vice president at IBM’s development headquarters. I wonder if the reason you went to Hanyoung Electronics was because of that smartphone?”
He had an innocent face and a smiling expression, but every word he spoke seemed to penetrate his inner thoughts.
Of course, Kim Cheol-soo came up with a story based on a comprehensive inference from what he heard from Choi Young-jun and the past situation, but Jo Yoon-jeong did not have the ability to know even that.
As Kim Cheol-soo carefully observed the sudden change in Jo Yoon-jeong’s expression, he was convinced that what he said was correct.
“But you couldn’t bring SKY Teletech, and you were abandoned by Hanyoung Electronics. “You can’t even work on our project.”
Jo Yoon-jeong opened her mouth with a shit-chewing face.
“under! “I’m going back to IBM and making smartphones.”
“I heard that when you left IBM, it was quite noisy.”
“···What if it’s not there! Anywhere else. “There are also Apple and MS.”
“Haha, if you had meant to, you wouldn’t have called me here.”
Jo Yoon-jeong touched the back of her neck with her hand for a moment.
‘What is this person?’
By investigating the behind-the-scenes actions, you gain the upper hand in the conversation and get what you want.
It was a place prepared for that purpose.
However, Kim Cheol-soo grabbed me tightly and I was being dragged around like an idiot.
Meanwhile, Kim Cheol-soo was also a little surprised.
‘The reason I gave up that good position and came here was because I wanted to develop a real smartphone. It’s not because it’s Choi Kyung-jun’s line.’
Kim Cheol-soo carefully measured the timing while looking at Jo Yoon-jeong, who had a somewhat perplexed expression.
“As you know, Managing Director, the prototype model has already been completed. “It’s just not marketable because of CPU power consumption.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“Didn’t you say you knew a solution to this?”
“···then?”
“There is probably someone somewhere with similar thoughts. However, it is called the first-mover effect. Whoever releases it first will write history. I think our group is the fastest. What do you think?”
Kim Cheol-soo’s words were accurate.
Although there were certainly companies that vaguely envisioned the concept of a smartphone, the Hanyoung Group was the only company that had set such clear standards and specifications.
“Why should I tell you that?”
“Hanyoung will continue to be the fastest in the future.”
“Hahaha, that’s great confidence. “Will it really be as it sounds?”
Kim Cheol-soo smiled faintly.
“well. “It may be pretentious, but I think I know what the managing director is thinking of as a solution.”
“under! It’s funny. “What does a salesperson, not a developer, know?”
“Isn’t it a CELL processor?”
Unlike Kim Cheol-soo’s calm answer, Jo Yoon-jeong’s expression changed dramatically.
Kim Cheol-soo took another sip of water and enjoyed it.
She was closer to a developer than a manager who had to make various political decisions.
In a previous conversation with Jo Yoon-jeong, Kim Cheol-soo searched with the keyword.
Then I heard the news that IBM was making processors for Sony and Microsoft’s game consoles, and while following the source of the news, I found a familiar name.
It was a very familiar name to Kim Cheol-soo, who had no interest in IT.
The person who raised AMD’s credit rating from C- (not suitable for investment, expected to go bankrupt) to B+ in two years and turned it into a CPU powerhouse in the PC market in three years.
He was the person who pulled down Intel’s pants and was considered the top CEO in the information and communications industry.
Jo Yoon-jeong’s hands suddenly trembled slightly, and Kim Cheol-soo added a word.
“Lisa Sue.”
Jo Yoon-jeong stared at Kim Cheol-soo for a long time, frozen as a stone statue.
After about 10 seconds, Jo Yoon-jeong sighed and spoke.
“also?”
This time, Kim Cheol-soo tilted his head.
‘Isn’t that everything? ‘What else is there?’
When Kim Cheol-soo did not answer, Jo Yoon-jeong burst out laughing.
“Hahaha, I only found half of it. You don’t know about the last key. But it’s great! “He’s really crazy.”
Kim Cheol-soo’s expression became strange at the words, which I couldn’t tell if they were a compliment or an insult.
“lisa? Excellent. It’s huge. But we need one more piece of the puzzle. And that’s a special piece that only I can get.”
The fact that she had received six months of suspension had long since disappeared from Jo Yoon-jeong’s mind.
This person in front of me.
A person I want to work with so much that it makes my heart pound like crazy.
He was a talented person with outstanding abilities.
As many as Lisa.
She took a gulp of water from her glass and opened her mouth.
“Why is someone like you hanging out in such a small fishing grounds?”
Kim Cheol-soo smiled bitterly.
In an instant, the leadership of the story was about to be transferred to Jo Yoon-jeong.
Jo Yoon-jeong knows, but she herself does not know.
Because of that one piece.
“It’s a big enough fishery for me. “There are still many places to expand.”
“hmm. It sounds as if you are going to actively intervene in the battle for succession? Are you planning to make President Youngjun Choi the group’s successor?”
“I don’t think I can answer that.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Speak comfortably. He says his grandfather is pushing CEO Choi Kyung-jun, but honestly, he’s below average. “He is the person who will ruin the group.”
“grandfather···?”
“Young-hwan Jo.”
“yes?”
“You don’t know Cho Young-hwan? “Are you sure you’re trying to jump into the fight without even knowing who that person is?”
Jo Yoon-jeong looked at Kim Cheol-soo with a puzzled expression.
“Youngjun oppa would know. Why don’t you know? No, you definitely have to know better. Even Hyena and Gori are tough people, right?”
When the story about Hye-na came up, Kim Cheol-soo’s expression changed slightly.
When talking about work, he didn’t make even a single slight change.
“You really don’t know anything? Haha, if that’s the case, then today’s position is very advantageous for me, right?”
Heard from a young age that he was a prodigy, and even entered Seoul National University at the top of his class.
And then he went to MIT engineering school.
He also graduated with the highest grades from Harvard’s MBA program, and was so outstanding that he was appointed to the position of director of IBM.
‘As expected, he will get hit once, but he is someone who will not get hit twice. But a man named Cho Yeong-hwan has such great influence in the battle for succession?’
Kim Cheol-soo thought of an old man with the eyes of a wild beast.
The waiters had set up the food so that their upper legs would break, but the two of them had not even lifted their cutlery yet.
“see. I want to do something that will go down in history. To that end, I want to lead the SKY Teletech project. And Manager Kim wants to make President Choi Young-jun the chairman, right?”
Jo Yoon-jeong smiled and continued.
“Anyway, I’m done with Kyungjun oppa. Sangjun oppa has no interest in the succession plan, and Ohjun oppa has a dirty personality so I don’t want to be around him. If he wants to stick with the Hanyoung group, he likes a good Youngjun. “He also owns SKY Teletech as a subsidiary.”
Kim Cheol-soo just quietly listened to Jo Yoon-jeong muttering the story.
“But strangely, my grandfather and Youngjun don’t get along well. I think Youngjun hated going to his grandfather’s side ever since he was young. Hmm… It would be really difficult if his grandfather didn’t help Youngjun. “I’m worried.”
“If SKY Teletech is successful, the results may be different from what you expect.”
“It may be possible, but will it succeed?”
“It has to be successful.”
“but. “Because I have you.”
Jo Yoon-jeong said while holding a spoon.
“Suddenly it gets interesting. Is it fun? “You came here after talking with Youngjun, right?”
“yes.”
“So it was a ploy to get me in from the beginning?”
“Well, I won’t deny it.”
Jo Yoon-jeong burst into laughter at Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
“It feels good.”
Kim Cheol-soo slightly shook his head as he looked at Jo Yoon-jeong, who suddenly turned into a lively person.
‘Cho Yun-jeong… ‘He’s a strange person.’
Jo Yoon-jeong rummaged through the vegetables with a spoon as if she had no interest in what Kim Cheol-soo was thinking.
Choi Kyung-jun shouted at me to get out with an expression as if he had seen something he couldn’t see.
And then he remembered what he had shouted before leaving the place.
– You will regret this decision forever.
‘Since I said it, I have to make it happen. ‘If there were people who needed me like this, I wouldn’t have gone there in the first place.’
“what are you doing? Manager Kim, let’s eat.”
Jo Yoon-jeong’s tone instantly changed to business-like, and Kim Cheol-soo also quickly adjusted his posture.
“Yes, Managing Director.”
“Perhaps we came here looking at the same thing. They tried to get me involved, and I tried to get involved in the project somehow. “I think today’s event will have a happy ending because we have the same needs.”
I wasn’t able to pull it off the way I thought, but I was satisfied with the result anyway.
Kim Cheol-soo smiled and answered.
“President Youngjun Choi will be looking for the managing director.”
“You have to do that. And we have to discuss one more thing here.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s about my grandfather. Oh, not exactly my grandfather. “He’s my great-grandfather.”
