Episode 19. The knife the doctor wields is surgery.(2)

There were quite a few people who showed interest in me.

It was no exaggeration to say that everyone who attended the banquet approached me to get to know me as I was making my first appearance in the social world.

Even in my past life, this was my reaction at first.

But when Taewoo Group got into trouble, no one answered my calls.

That’s why I never thought of them as colleagues or friends.

A predatory relationship in which each party tries to eat the other.

I exchanged greetings with everyone to search for prey.

When there was a moment of silence, I made the first move this time.

“hello. I heard that starting this year, the company name has completely changed to CL Group? “It is a very good company name to target not only the Korean market but also overseas markets.”

“I don’t know much about this. It was a decision made after careful discussion between the elders of the family. Still, I am grateful that you say you like the changed company name.”

The person I approached was Youngjun Ko from CL Group.

He was a third-generation CL Group conglomerate, but he was much older than me.

CL Group’s history is so deep that the third generation of the conglomerate is over 40 years old.

“I hope you keep in touch often. “I am still young and have little experience, so I really need advice from a good senior like you.”

“Hehe, I don’t know if I’m good enough to give advice, but if you want, just contact me anytime.”

“Speak comfortably. “I am currently staying in Changwon for a while, but I will visit you often when I return to Seoul.”

A smile spread across Go Youngjun’s lips.

Certainly, unlike other conglomerates, he was a member of the CL Group who considered himself a descendant of an aristocrat, so everything from his speech to his actions was full of elegance.

What are the characteristics of a noble family?

eldest son succession.

In the past and in the future, CL Group has never had any troublesome incidents such as management disputes or the prince’s rebellion.

Follow what adults say.

And in the case of collateral, there was no backlash as we gave away a decent affiliate.

The same was true for Go Young-jun.

Since he was not the eldest son, he had already given up on becoming a successor.

So why would I approach him?

Fanning.

This is to encourage people around him that he has the ability to become a successor.

And I plan to even push it. That’s how a succession battle arises.

When a dispute over management rights begins, a loophole is bound to appear, and at that time, several of CL Group’s lucrative affiliates can be taken over.

“hello. “This is Minjae Kim.”

I continued to search for prey.

Among the top 30 companies in the business world, there are about 5 that I chose as prey.

In particular, he developed a close relationship with the second and third generation conglomerates of the Hyunjae Group and the Hyunjin Group, where the Prince’s Rebellion would take place.

Have you ever spoken this much in your life?

No matter how much water I drink, my mouth feels dry.

But it wasn’t difficult at all. Rather, it was just fun.

If meeting your prey is difficult, you should stop hunting.

* * *

After a busy Saturday, I came down to Changwon.

I rested a bit on the train, but my body didn’t move as I wanted, probably because I drank so much alcohol at the banquet hall.

But there is no time to rest.

I pulled myself together and headed to the largest hotel suite in Changwon.

“Representative, are you here!”

“Captain Kang is alone.”

“The kids down there went to work. And wouldn’t it be good for them to know the CEO’s face?”

Captain Kang definitely had good sense.

And his skills were as excellent as his senses.

“I caught a piece of evidence.”

“Already? “I started the work yesterday and it’s already been completed. What happened last night?”

“Factory manager Seo Woo-tae and accountant Han Ji-hye had a meeting yesterday. The location was the hotel we are in now.”

“Did you really expect this to be a command center?”

“It wasn’t like that. Luckily, they came to our hotel on their own.”

Well, there are only a few good hotels in Changwon.

Even thinking about it that way, I felt like the factory manager was really unlucky.

How do you get into the tiger’s den by yourself?

“But what evidence did you get? “There would have been limitations in collecting evidence just because we stayed at the same hotel.”

“We bribed hotel staff with money to collect evidence. “It cost some money to buy it.”

“Well done. I’ll say it again, if there’s something that can be solved with money, definitely solve it with money. “That’s the most convenient and best way.”

Captain Kang took out the evidence.

I probably didn’t have much time, but I collected a lot of evidence.

“Did they even take pictures and videos during wiretapping?”

“We used equipment used by the Defense Security Command. However, because the data was collected illegally, it may be difficult to accept it as legal evidence.”

“are you okay. “The legal evidence can be found by the team, and this evidence is collected to be used elsewhere.”

“When you say somewhere else, where are you referring to?”

“I want to use it for epilepsy.”

Seo, the factory manager and two accountants.

ah! Is it a square relationship since I have to include my wife?

“You are planning to turn the two accountants against each other.”

“We have to make not only the manager, but also the factory manager Seo hostile. If you do that, they will automatically provide me with the internal data.”

“Then we will collect the remaining evidence as quickly as possible.”

In order to carry out the Iganjil Jakjeop, data from another accountant, Joo Young-mi, was also needed.

However, even before a day had passed, it was Captain Kang who had obtained evidence regarding the factory manager Seo and Joo Young-mi.

“We have secured the factory manager entering Joo Young-mi’s officetel.”

“Surely the factory manager saved the officetel where Joo Young-mi was staying?”

“The officetel was being rented by a parts factory in Changwon.”

“You’re paying your lover’s rent with the company’s public funds, not with your own money.”

The more you get to know him, the more amazing he is.

Yesterday with Han Ji-hye and today with Joo Young-mi.

Do you really think of the Changwon parts factory as your kingdom?

No. At this level, the Changwon parts factory was practically the kingdom of Seo Factory.

“It is understood that all accounting at the Changwon parts factory is influenced by the Seo factory manager.”

“No, I don’t know why you create your own kingdom within someone else’s group. “This guy needs to be punished and set an example.”

Captain Kang pursed his lips tightly.

He was stronger than me, burning his hostility towards the factory manager.

“I’ll look for more details.”

“There are 50 to 100 steps to look for here. I will get internal information. From now on, please focus on your team and finding legal evidence.”

“I will.”

“And please check where Jihye Han is right now.”

“I’m currently having coffee with three members of my faction.”

Captain Kang has already attached someone.

I heard that because he was a soldier, he handles his work very neatly.

* * *

A small coffee shop.

This was before large coffee shops were launched in Korea.

In a previous life, there was a coffee shop on every block, but now there were only coffee shops that were slightly more advanced than coffee shops.

Speaking of which, should I launch Starbox?

I remember that the launch of Starbox was postponed indefinitely due to the foreign exchange crisis and then came in 1999.

I need to send someone to America.

With this in mind, I parked my car near the coffee shop.

And just at that moment, Han Ji-hye and the three accountants came out of the coffee shop.

bread! I made a light noise to get their attention.

“I can see it all from here.”

“uh! Conductor. “What are you doing here?”

“I had some business nearby so I stopped by. “If you’re on your way home, I’ll give you a ride.”

“really? thank you!”

They were the ones who got into the car without caution.

I intentionally sent everyone home except Jihye Han.

Finally, when only Jihye Han was left in the car, I quietly brought up the main topic.

“By the way, is it possible that Factory Manager Seo and Joo Young-mi are seeing each other separately?”

“yes? “What do you mean by that?”

“I saw you two walking around together yesterday. “They seemed to get along very well.”

“It can’t be. Factory Manager Seo is not the type of person to do that.”

That’s not the kind of person.

I’m having an affair with you, so why can’t I have an affair with another woman?

ah! I guess she’s saying that since she’s with him, she won’t have an affair with another woman.

“I took a picture just in case.”

“uh?! uh… … .”

I connected my digital camera to my laptop and showed the photos.

It was a new digital camera that could shoot at a whopping 6 million pixels and was purchased for 40 million won.

In the near future, mobile phones will come with 5-megapixel cameras, but now the 6-megapixel digital camera is an innovative product.

“My hobby is photography. “I don’t really take pictures of people, but yesterday I was so surprised that I pressed the shutter without realizing it.”

“Oh, how can this be!”

It was Han Ji-hye who bowed her head.

Not long after, I shed tears like chicken shit.

Could it be that he really loved the factory manager? Probably not.

I guess it’s just a feeling of betrayal and anger.

Or maybe he feels angry at being pushed out by Joo Young-mi, whom he thinks is far inferior to him.

“Factory manager Seo, I don’t like it. “I don’t know if I can trust someone like this and entrust the Changwon parts factory to him.”

“Are you planning to replace the factory manager?”

“Where would I have the strength to do that? “If I had more solid evidence, I could report it to my grandfather.”

“I will help! “I will find out all the corruption of the factory manager and give it to you!”

When a woman harbors resentment, frost falls on May New Year.

It was a proverb that was perfect for the current situation, and Han Ji-hye was half crazy, consumed by her desire for revenge.

“If you do so, I will protect Jihye Han as much as I can. “So that she can work at the Changwon 1 factory or headquarters, which have better facilities.”

“Please just leave it to me. “I will get you all the information I can.”

“First, calm down. If you get too excited, it will show. “If this happens, the factory manager will find out in advance.”

“Whew. Phew.”

She was taking a deep breath and exhaling.

He bowed his head to me with determination in his eyes and went back home.

Looking at her back, I thought about my next strategy.

“First of all, we rescued one person, then let’s start with the other one.”

Factory Manager Seo is a very meticulous person.

I’m sure Jihye Han and Youngmi Joo would have been entrusted with different tasks.

In order to secure all the data, Joo Young-mi also had to be driven by a desire for revenge.

“Youngmi Joo should finish it today too.”

I drove the car and headed to Youngmi Joo’s officetel.

* * *

next day.

I was able to see how passionate Han Ji-hye and Joo Young-mi’s desire for revenge was.

Even before lunch time, Jihye Han came to me and secretly handed me 20 envelopes of documents.

“This is a double ledger I had. “I will collect all other data and provide it to you before work time.”

“You had a lot of trouble. Once this is over, go on vacation. “When I return from vacation, it will be difficult to see the factory manager in Changwon anymore.”

“I really hope so.”

Han Ji-hye was not the only one burning with revenge.

Youngmi Joo came to see me not long after, and she also handed out a bundle of envelopes.

“This time, the contract for the pallet factory was all made for the purpose of making money off of the factory manager. It also contains a list of executives and employees who worked together and data.”

“They are very nasty people. “I will make it so that you will never be able to set foot in the Taewoo Group again.”

“But it won’t hurt me, right?”

“Don’t worry about that. “I will make sure that no harm comes to Joo Young-mi.”

“Please do me a favor.”

I handed over all the data to Captain Kang.

Captain Kang led a team consisting of aces from the National Tax Service, the police, and the prosecution.
