chapter 19
< Chairman Cha’s will (3) >
At Chairman Cha’s gesture, Secretary Kim immediately sat across from him.
“Secretary Kim, is this your work?”
Chairman Cha cracked down on the bribery ledger of Wookwang Construction.
<As Wookwang Construction’s funds are extremely insufficient, the funds needed for lobbying are not Wookwang, but Taesung…>
Secretary Kim’s eyes narrowed on their own.
It is a file iron tied with twine.
I could have taken out the page, but I left a trace of deliberately erasing three pages.
“This is not an accidental tear. Someone intentionally cut it off.”
“That intention was hit. I must have a look at this missing page.”
How and where did Wookwang Construction stab Taeseong?
Where and to whom and how much the necessary funds were taken!
“Go back to headquarters.”
thump thump!
Chairman Cha’s footsteps as he left the coffee shop at the Taesung Hotel contained the anger that he could not erase.
Secretary Kim and Chief Goh followed Chairman Cha.
“Secretary Kim, the guy who wrote this ledger. Where are you now?”
“I understand that you were taken to the underground torture room at Seobinggo.”
“Take me in front of you. I need to hear it from his mouth.”
“yes.”
It was something I had promised Master Jeonghyeok.
It seems that the problem will be solved by calling the court in the name of the chairman.
Chairman Cha gritted his teeth.
“It is said that there is a bastard who held hands with Woo-gwang and shot me in the back of the head. Can anyone guess?”
Secretary Kim did not open his mouth easily.
There is only a clue, because there is no evidence, let alone a heart attack.
“I can’t help it. Water is leaking from the jar in my house, so I have no choice but to plug the water hole first and see.”
Chairman Cha’s order fell.
“Immediately call the presidents of all affiliates! Call an emergency meeting! Two hours later, to the headquarters conference room!”
Secretary Kim’s complexion visibly hardened.
Can executives, including the president, have loose schedules?
It was said that it would be difficult to run right away just because the leader of the group was calling.
However, Chairman Cha pushes ahead, and the presidents have no choice but to run with socks.
“Call the secretary’s office and tell them to call me right away! Everything from Taesung’s headquarters to subsidiaries! I urge you not to forget to bring your account books for this year when you come!”
“yes.”
“We also give it to the media and politicians! If there is something to check in tandem with the nephew planted in Woogwang, point it out and move on!”
“yes.”
“I’ll assign Chief Ko and the security team members. Secretary Kim, you take care of it yourself, regardless of the means!”
“Yes, I will.”
Chairman Cha’s nickname is Flame Bulldozer.
Once I make up my mind to do it, I turn on the lights in my eyes and run.
If there is a rock in front of him, he will break it, and if there is a river, he must cross it whether he swims, rents a boat, or builds a bridge.
Since such a nobleman was determined and declared that he would catch the thieves, things naturally escalated.
‘Time is running out. The subway construction tender is less than a month away!’
There is no place to find out right away, but if you blindly put the entire affiliates’ presidents on the suspect line and go through it all… It’s crazy!
Even if the Ministry of Justice, Accounting, Auditing, and General Affairs are all mobilized, it will not be easy to find loopholes.
When you’re determined to betray, it’s basic to make a double ledger to hide the stench.
If you turn the group upside down like this, the noise won’t stop.
Even the person at the Blue House won’t look at you kindly.
For a moment, I wondered if there was a need to make such an irrational move ahead of the construction project on which the future of Taesung Construction depended.
‘Still, I have to do what I have to do!’
Chairman Cha’s mind has not changed.
‘It’s 30 years! Is there anyone in the current president who hasn’t worked with me for at least 30 years? doesn’t exist!’
Chairman Cha trembled with a sense of betrayal.
That’s how much I believed in them and cared for them.
As much as we shared the hardships of the old days, we enjoyed the present good times together.
He was entrusted with a decent position, a hefty salary, as well as stocks.
‘Even if you throw it out when you throw it away, it gives you a chance to surrender quietly! There’s that much loyalty between them and me!’
This was the reason why Chairman Cha immediately called the president’s team.
taste was bitter.
A long sigh escaped.
“That bribe. Even at a rough estimate, it was over 2 billion. Woo-gwang, who spent all his money he had without money four years ago by entering the steel business, could not have that kind of extra money. That’s all Taeseong… damn it!”
The more I think about it, the more my stomach churns.
Secretary Kim cautiously opened his mouth.
“Chairman, there is a way to easily narrow the scope and solve it easily.”
“What?”
“Who sent this ledger to you?”
“…!”
Chairman Cha hardened his complexion.
Even the thumping steps stopped and stood tall in place.
“no way······!”
“For some reason, it seems that Master Jeong Hyuk has the page you are looking for.”
“He’s only seven years old!”
“Yes, that is great. Didn’t you blatantly hide only the most important information? What was your intention in handing me this government out of the blue?”
The reason why I was able to give this book as a bribe.
The leisure to shout out loud to the conglomerate grandfather and drive out while holding his mother’s hand.
‘Certainly it’s not an easy bet. I can’t help but hold the little boy’s hand.’
If you want to search all affiliates of the Taesung Group like a tooth, the secretary’s office must also roll loudly.
If you are an impatient chairman, you have to confirm overtime work by repeating that you have died for at least a month before the subway construction bidding begins.
So, secretary Kim said with uncharacteristic strength.
“Chairman, if you get this back page, you won’t have to doubt all the presidents who have shared joys and sorrows for 30 years. If you find a leaking water hole, you can easily plug it up.”
That’s right.
“It will greatly reduce the time and effort to hunt down traitors. There is no need to mobilize all operating personnel to sift through the accounting books of affiliates. Isn’t that all a waste of time and money?”
Chairman Cha looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.
He remembered how he had pushed Sujin Lee to leave and find a way to live.
The grandson I saw for the first time today holding his mother’s hand and walking away without looking back.
‘Looks like you got this right. If I was going to hand over the back page, I wouldn’t have explicitly cut it off in advance.’
This was the reason Chairman Cha sighed.
The subway construction, which cost 180 billion won, was entangled in Taeseong’s hole, which seemed to be worth 2 billion won, as well as the 30 billion won project with Woo-gwang.
Of course, the pride of Chairman Cha, who said he couldn’t get married, was also at stake!
“Today, cigarettes are very strong.”
“Here it is.”
Chief Ko immediately offered a cigarette.
He lit the lighter and lit Chairman Cha’s cigarette.
Secretary Kim waited silently for Chairman Cha, who was smoking a cigarette.
“Whoa…”
Chairman Cha smoked a chain-smoker on the spot and smoked five cigarettes.
After blowing out a cloud of smoke for a long time, Chairman Cha looked back at Secretary Kim.
Secretary Kim immediately bowed.
“Leave this to me, I will go to Master Jeong Hyuk and get these three pages of secrets without fail.”
“Okay, then I’ll leave this to Secretary Kim. I’ll give you a full push, so I’ll solve it quickly.”
“yes.”
Secretary Kim said with her back bent.
“Chairman, can I ask you one question?”
“What?”
“The construction of subway line 2 for 180 billion won and a cooperation project with Woogwang for 30 billion won. If you had to choose between the two, which would you discard?”
Chairman Cha wrinkled his brow.
“Why should I throw them away? There is no reason why Taeseong cannot take on the subway construction, and there is no reason why he should give up on the 30 billion won project.”
“But where does the world work out the way you want it to? Isn’t there such a thing as an if?”
Chairman Cha did not answer.
Instead, I turned my back.
“It’s not too late to decide then. Now, how many times have I robbed Taeseong’s safe? You have to find it and cut it off first.”
“All right.”
Secretary Kim has left.
Chairman Cha stared blankly at her back and nervously rubbed the cigarette butts out.
‘So it’s better to give up marrying Woo-gwang and accept that mother and son?’
Chairman Cha’s eyes sank deeply.
‘If it’s clear that Woo-gwang really hit Tae-seong in the back of the head…’
A 30 billion won project that was promoted on the premise of marrying Woo-gwang.
Just thinking about it made me sick to my stomach.
* * *
I took my mother’s hand and headed to the courthouse first.
‘It’s not over just by signing the contract and paying the balance. I can’t be vigilant until I officially complete the court registration!’
It is said that the country must officially recognize the rights to my house!
“end!”
I finished the registration procedure in a flash without difficulty.
My mother kept her eyes wide open the whole time.
“How can you so skillfully apply for registration that even your mother doesn’t know how to do it?”
“…”
Oops.
It was the courthouse that I frequented while doing the private loan business.
Since it was a low-end period when there was no money, I used to go to the registration office like a perseverance to save legal expenses.
Is there any way to explain this?
“Where did you learn all this?”
“・・・・・Playing house?”
“Do kids these days even apply for registration when playing house? When did you learn Korean again?”
“…”
This is getting more and more difficult to answer?
It’s not my style to make excuses and take notice of others.
I stopped pretending.
“How much has changed these days. Do you know that I am the same as when I was little?”
“…”
Originally, the generation gap is an excuse that will never change.
Then, turn the topic naturally!
“Let’s go see my house! I want to see the pool!”
Now that it’s my house, I’ll start by solving the problems I’ve been putting off until now.
‘What is the reason that only that house has a golden light shining like an incandescent light bulb? There must be some hidden secret. It smells like money!’
that’s how i feel
‘Of course exorcism is a bonus.’
Right.
When I bumped my fingers, the grim reaper rose like smoke.
[······Don’t you think it’s really too much for a human being?]
Come to think of it, yesterday and today, I really put it to good use.
‘Is that why you called me? It’s time to take out your anger!’
Only then did the grim reaper’s pale complexion turn bright.
[I like that very much!]
‘Let’s go hunt for the ghosts!’
[·······.]
From ancient times, top and bottom clothes are a mortal sin, regardless of age, but downhill is an unchanging tradition!
‘There must be at least one ghost who knows the secret of that house. Find him!’
Originally, when it was related to black money, I used to catch the smell.
This is a slush fund that is secretly trading in the dark for some reason, and the source is well laundered!
The tip is coming!
Or not.
