Rookie Employee Kim Cheolsu Chapter 47

Ethical Management Office.

Assistant Manager Park Eun-sook called Manager Baek Jeong-gu while checking the anonymous tip mailbox.

“Chief, you need to take a look at this.”

“What?”

Baek Jeong-gu got up and approached Assistant Manager Park Eun-sook, who pointed at the monitor with a dark expression.

There was quite a long article posted there.

About the huge corruption taking place at Hanyoung General Trading Company.

In an unusual atmosphere, other employees of the Ethics Management Office gathered at Assistant Manager Park Eun-sook’s seat.

After a while, Manager Baek Jeong-gu’s long sigh came out.

“This is not for us to touch. Report it to the audit office right away.”

Of course it should be

After receiving the audit chief’s report, Choi Kyung-hoon sighed briefly.

He knew well that the higher he rose, the more money and manpower he could move and the greater his social and international influence, so many temptations would come his way.

Because they know that it is not easy to resist temptation for the company’s benefit, executives are given salaries and incentives that are several times, or even dozens of times, that of regular employees.

Be loyal to the company, avoid private interests, and do not commit corruption or embezzlement.

I thought it was quiet for a year, but this kind of corruption occurred at Hanyoung Trading Company.

“To what extent will you hold us accountable, Chairman?”

If there had been no tip-off, it was an issue that could have grown into a major corruption case, and the audit chief’s comment meant that it was possible to hold President Yoo Ji-hoon responsible.

“Egh!”

Choi Kyung-hoon repeatedly knocked on the desk with his palm in frustration.

Even if Yoo Ji-hoon did not participate, it was a level of corruption where he could be held responsible for negligent management.

However, Yoo Ji-hoon was one of the core talents that the group was ambitiously cultivating.

After joining the Hanyoung Group, he worked across all affiliates as a new employee and achieved outstanding results, and is currently producing overwhelming results at Hanyoung General Trading Company.

He was a good candidate to help his successor when he retired in the future.

Choi Kyung-hoon, who ran a calculator in his head for a moment, opened his mouth.

“That guy is not allowed. And I want to make sure we investigate and find the truth.”

“Yes, I understand. Chairman.”

When the head of the audit office finished the report and left, Baek Jun-seok came in.

Baek Jun-seok handed Choi Gyeong-hoon a report on Kim Cheol-soo and briefly briefed him.

“That guy sings at the cafe run by Hye-na?”

“Yes. I think that’s how we started dating.”

Choi Gyeong-hoon imagined Kim Cheol-soo, who appears to be an ordinary office worker, singing at a live cafe, and then laughed and scanned the information written in the report.

A practical music department at an unrecognized local university.

On paper alone, it seemed really difficult to join the Hanyoung Group.

‘Well, when I started my business, all I had was a middle school diploma.’

“Having a second job. What a mean person.”

“Shall we take action?”

“Leave them alone. I’m going to have to yell at them for not being able to take care of their own work while working concurrently, but whatever.”

“Yes, Chairman.”

I’m 25 years old this year.

Signed 5 contracts within 6 months of joining the company.

In terms of performance alone, even at the assistant manager level, he is above average.

While running the business for nearly 50 years, he met many new employees, but Kim Cheol-soo’s performance was clearly unrivaled.

Choi Gyeong-hoon nodded and smiled after reading Kim Cheol-soo’s performance report, and Baek Jun-seok looked at the chairman’s expression and quietly continued his next words.

“But there are bad rumors going around.”

Choi Gyeong-hoon looked at Baek Jun-seok when he heard that it was a bad rumor.

“what?”

“It is said that he received a scouting offer from another company with conditions that were difficult to refuse.”

“What? What are the conditions?”

When Baek Jun-seok told him about the proposal Kim Cheol-soo had received, a lot of wrinkles appeared between Choi Kyeong-hoon’s eyebrows.

“So you accepted the offer?”

“The report is that they seem to be concerned so far.”

At those words, Choi Gyeong-hoon skimmed through the report and quietly looked at the details about the family’s situation.

The family situation is worse than that of ordinary people.

There was no reason for an employee in this situation to refuse a scouting condition of that level.

Rather, we can only see that Kim Cheol-soo’s loyalty is great as he is worried about receiving a scouting offer under such conditions.

As I remembered the happy memories of talking to that guy alone, I suddenly lost my temper.

Moreover, isn’t it related to Hye-na?

Choi Gyeong-hoon jumped up and shouted.

“You bastards! Why on earth are you handling things like that? I have to go and see for myself.”

Conference room.

At a meeting where team leader level or higher gathered, several agenda items were being discussed.

And near the end of the meeting, Shin Byeong-hun spoke.

“There are rumors going around about Sales Team 5 employee Kim Cheol-soo.”

Most people in the meeting room nodded at Shin Byeong-hun’s words.

“As you know, this employee will be a member of the new resource development team that will be created when the Kenya project is passed. If such an excellent employee is taken away before work begins, there is a risk that the project ordered by the Chairman will be disrupted.”

Shin Byeong-hun, who heard the story from Ahn Jung-gyu, went to the head of the human resources team, Park Joon-hyung, and asked if special promotion was possible, but Park Joon-hyung answered that special promotion was not possible due to the nature of Hanyoung Trading Company, where promotions are made based on seniority, even if the person has good ability.

As for the scouting offer that he could not refuse, Park Jun-hyung clearly said that it would be the standard for measuring Kim Cheol-soo’s loyalty.

Of course, Shin Byeong-hoon, who had a rough estimate of the company’s power structure, was able to guess the reason for the HR head’s refusal.

However, this project was also related to Shin Byeong-hun’s own performance.

Shin Byeong-hun also agreed to Ahn Jung-gyu’s proposal because he fully sympathized with the uniqueness of the Kenyan business.

Also, Kim Cheol-soo was achieving such results.

So Shin Byeong-hun decided to make this matter public.

President Yoo Ji-hoon listened to everything Shin Byeong-hun said and asked quietly.

“Vice President, what do you want to talk about?”

“For this project, I think the company needs to hire employee Kim Cheol-soo. Also, considering the nature of the project he will be in charge of starting next year, I think he needs a special promotion, so I am making a formal request to the president.”

Personnel-related matters are entirely up to the head of the human resources team, but when Shin Byeong-hoon made the matter about personnel matters public, Park Jun-hyung felt his face get hot.

‘You damn old man! dare!’

Shin Byeong-hoon is a very cautious person, so he must have discussed this matter thoroughly with the head of the human resources team before making it public.

Yoo Ji-hoon looked at Park Jun-hyung, whose face was red, as he thought about that.

Then he turned his gaze and glanced at the other executives and said.

“I wonder what other people think.”

When Yoo Ji-hoon did not talk about Katabuta, all executives voiced opposition.

“It makes no sense to give a special promotion to a new employee who has not yet been vetted in any way.”

“If you give a special promotion to a new employee who only received one scouting offer, it is clear that the dissatisfaction of other employees will reach a peak.”

“No! If you receive an offer like that, isn’t it right to refuse it right away? Your loyalty is very questionable. It’s better not to have an employee like that!”

Managing Director Yoo Young-sik remained silent and neutral as always, and it was difficult for Ahn Jung-gyu to say anything as the executives talked like that. If Executive Director Choi Young-jun had been there, he would have refuted this, but unfortunately, he was currently out of the country on a business trip.

Shin Byeong-hun looked at Yoo Ji-hoon briefly and was lost in thought.

‘If the Chairman had seen this, he would have turned this conference room over several times. Ability comes from people, not from the system. If employee Kim Cheol-soo receives a scouting offer and goes to another company and achieves great results, President Yoo Ji-hoon, do you know that you can’t be safe either?’

Park Jun-hyung quickly became elated by the support provided by the executives, while Ahn Jeong-gyu only continued to sigh.

‘Isn’t it okay to be the vice president?’

Yoo Ji-hoon smiled slightly as he saw Ahn Jung-gyu and Shin Byeong-hun looking at him.

It was that time.

-Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

The cell phone he had placed inside the table rang, and Yoo Ji-hoon took it out and opened the message he had just received.

Yoo Ji-hoon’s expression stiffened for a moment and then softened at that text.

Yoo Ji-hoon closed his cell phone, tapped the table with one finger and lost himself in thought, and when the executives finished speaking, he put his mouth to the microphone.

“I enjoyed hearing your story.”

Yu Ji-hoon’s words made the conference room quiet.

Now it was time for the president’s decision to be made.

“I sympathize with your story. There are parts of employee Kim Cheol-soo’s loyalty that are questionable in that he did not reject the scouting offer right away. There are also clearly problems that arise when specially promoting new employees who have not been in the company for a year.”

Yoo Ji-hoon said that and took a short break, and all executives nodded as if they sympathized with President Yoo Ji-hoon’s words.

“But! This is not a group of civil servants who are simply promoted based on seniority. This is a private company where if you have skills, you must be recognized and rewarded accordingly. Although organizational harmony is certainly important, the biggest goal is the company’s profit. The most important thing is how much the company can earn. The Kenya case, which will be assigned to employee Kim Cheol-soo, who will be part of the resource development team, is very risky, but once successful, it can increase more than 20% of the company’s sales. The high-risk Kenya case In order to make it a success, we must provide all the support we can.”

Everyone in the conference room looked at Yoo Ji-hoon with puzzled expressions at the sudden change in tone.

Shin Byeong-hun, Ahn Jeong-gyu, and Park Jun-hyung were also making absurd expressions in a different way.

“So, on my own authority, I will give employee Kim Cheol-soo a special promotion in the next personnel season.”

Park Jun-hyung couldn’t figure out what was going on, so he clenched his fists with a distorted expression, and Ahn Jeong-gyu also just looked at Shin Byeong-hun and rolled his eyes.

Shin Byeong-hoon was also dumbfounded by President Yoo Ji-hoon’s unexpected words.

Meanwhile, Chairman Kyung-Hoon Choi, who had secretly arrived at the company and was eavesdropping on what was being said in the conference hall, became so excited by the executives’ stories that he slammed open the conference room door.

“Of course I should!”

As the chairman’s loud voice resonated throughout the conference room, everyone, including President Yoo Ji-hoon, jumped up from their chairs.

Choi Kyung-hoon looked at Yoo Ji-hoon and nodded.

“It’s a good choice, Boss Yu. I liked it.”

“No, Chairman.”

“As expected, you are trustworthy.”

“I’m sorry, Chairman.”

Kyung-Hoon Choi turned around and looked at the faces of each of the executives and shouted.

“Hold talented people unconditionally. Then make them work according to their abilities. Then reward them according to their performance and increase their loyalty! This is what I want from you. Why is everyone talking nonsense? Did you all eat your career like crap? Huh. ?”

**

While the executives were being crushed by Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon in the conference room, Kim Cheol-soo was getting some fresh air in the Sky Garden with Jang Yu-mi.

“The way people look at Cheolsu makes me feel uncomfortable.”

“It’s okay. What’s there to be uncomfortable about, Yumi?”

“It’s because we’re in the same class. It’s like we’re hated together, right? If it were me, I would have received the scouting offer and quietly gone to another company. But I hope Cheolsu doesn’t go.”

“why?”

“You’re a trustworthy colleague, right? If there’s a problem, you’re good at solving it. And…”

Jang Yu-mi quickly closed her mouth to prevent the unnecessary sounds of her heart from coming out.

“and?”

“…I think that for our company to prosper, we must have Cheolsu.”

“Ah. This company has been running well even without me.”

“Eye! I need to run better in the future. That feeling is overwhelming! I thought that one day, as time passes, the person who will attract the most attention at Hanyoung Trading Company will be Cheolsu.”

At those words, Kim Cheol-soo smiled and shook his head.

“This is such an undeserved evaluation.”

“Why are you being so humble? Can you tell me a little bit? What choices you make? Do you know? How heavy my mouth is!”

Jang Yu-mi asked in a friendly manner.

“Yumi, I know how loud your mouth is. Looking at the conditions, it’s true that you were scouted, but I joined this company because I really liked it. So I’m not sure.”

“Really, doesn’t the company have to do something to catch someone like Cheolsu?”

“Hahaha. Would you pay that much attention to just a new employee?”

“If I were really the boss, I would promote Cheolsu right away!”

At those words, Kim Cheol-soo smiled and asked Jang Yu-mi.

“If I really become the assistant manager, will Yumi be able to do it this comfortably?”

Jang Yu-mi thought for a moment, drank her coffee, and then opened her mouth.

“That’s the same again. Assistant Manager Kim. Assistant Manager Kim. Well, it’s not that bad. Haha. You don’t plan on missing class meetings if you get promoted, right?”

“If my classmates think positively, I should attend with the rank of assistant manager.”

“I talked to my classmates, and the public opinion about Cheolsu is not bad. So, even if you do well, don’t forget your classmates.”

“Haha! Now, let’s finish the kimchi soup and go down now.”

As Kim Cheol-soo stood up, Jang Yu-mi smiled and nodded.

“But, I’m sure.”

“What?”

In response to Kim Cheol-soo’s question, Jang Yu-mi spoke loudly so that everyone smoking around her could hear.

“I think Mr. Cheolsu will definitely stay at Hanyoung Trading Company. No matter what happens, I think he will definitely do that!”

He spoke so loudly that everyone in the Sky Garden looked towards Kim Cheol-soo and Jang Yu-mi.

i think so

Se-yang Jeong, who finished work and came out of the office, smiled and waved when she saw Park Jun-hyung standing neatly on one side of the hallway.

“Uh! Manager Park. If you had come, shouldn’t you have come in?”

“No, Managing Director. I have something to tell you for a moment.”

“Really? What about dinner?”

“I haven’t eaten yet.”

“Good. I haven’t had dinner yet. There’s a good restaurant nearby, so let’s go there.”

Se-yang Jeong, who was casually drinking a beer at a tofu specialty store, took a bite of tofu kimchi and ate it while munching on it. When she saw Park Jun-hyung sitting in a straight posture, she thought the atmosphere was strange and asked worriedly.

“So, what do you want to talk about?”

“There’s a rumor going around at headquarters.”

“What is this rumor?”

“It is said that the audit office is investigating major corruption at Hanyoung Corporation.”

At those words, Jeong Se-yang’s face completely stiffened, and he even dropped the spoon he was holding.

Park Jun-hyung opened his mouth while carefully watching Jeong Se-yang’s reaction.

“Is it related to Assistant Manager Shin Dong-hyun’s work? I’m asking because Director Jeong didn’t say anything about the emergency order that was sent the other day.”

“Oh, no. That can’t be possible…”

Jeong Se-yang’s eyes trembled greatly.

Jeong Se-yang looked blankly at Park Jun-hyung, who did not even blink at her as he told this incredible story, then closed his eyes and sighed heavily.

If Park Jun-hyung had any inkling about this matter, it was clear that the audit office would already be aware of the entire corruption structure.

“Director Park. What is your true intention in telling me this?”

“Because I am in a position to serve the boss together. If this happens, it could be a fatal blow to the boss as well.”

“Ha! Does the boss know?”

“I’m not sure about that yet, Managing Director.”

Jeong Se-yang fidgeted and sighed for a while, and Park Jun-hyung quietly watched her.

Jeong Se-yang created a shell company in the name of a relative and embezzled billions of dollars worth of company money over a long period of time.

From Park Jun-hyung’s perspective, he thought that it was acceptable to fight and fight within the company, but embezzling the company’s assets was absolutely unforgivable.

Such corruption could never be tolerated by Park Jun-hyung, who would one day become the president of this company.

That was the way Park Jun-hyung loved the company.

“If the president suffers damage due to this incident, let alone punishment, the future of the managing director will also become very uncertain.”

Jeong Se-yang’s expression became darker.

“If the ‘person’ the president is pushing takes over management of the group, the president will also consider the executive director’s return. Even if he does not, I will stand by and push for the executive director’s return.”

At those words, Jeong Se-yang shook his head and thought.

‘I should have handled this quietly when Shin Dong-hyun was scared!’

Jeong Se-yang, who thought that her 35 years of corporate life and future retirement were completely lost as she was distracted by the pennies that kept coming into her pocket, became more and more desperate.

“Director Park… What should I do? How can I get out of this crisis?”

Park Jun-hyung looked at Jeong Se-yang and spoke calmly.

“Admit to all corruption, take full responsibility, and step down. If you do so, I will somehow prepare a position for you in the future.”

“Is that really the only way?”

“Both the managing director and I are only looking at the boss. Now is the time to do our best to protect the boss.”

At those words, Jeong Se-yang closed her eyes and lowered her head, and Park Jun-hyung coldly looked down at Jeong Se-yang and thought.

‘You have eaten the company’s money, so you can never return to Hanyoung Group. Even if someone recommends you, I will stop it with my own hands, Director Jeong.’
