Chapter 237
He had prepared a suitable alternative.
“Yes. It would be better if you held the knife handle, sir. That’s what Team Leader Kim thought and told you.”
“…”
But even so, Vice President Go Jun-ho looked thoughtful.
He was quick at calculations and he understood what Yoo-hyun was saying.
There was a reason why he couldn’t make a decision easily and he couldn’t open his mouth.
Yoo-hyun knew that reason well.
So he brought out the second plan to move Vice President Go Jun-ho.
“I know what you are worried about, sir.”
“Tell me.”
When Yoo-hyun pressed him, he opened his mouth that was tightly closed.
There was still anger on his face.
“Are you worried that this incident will affect the project?”
“I heard the backup plan from Team Leader Kim. Yeah, it could work if it goes well. But that’s not the problem.”
“No. That’s not what I mean.”
“Then what is it?”
“I’m talking about the group leader and the business director.”
“Huh.”
Vice President Go Jun-ho’s eyes shook at Yoo-hyun’s words.
Yoo-hyun didn’t miss the timing and went in without hesitation.
“I know that the project evaluation was not good at the last report.”
“How do you know? I didn’t tell you.”
“Neither of them are positive about Apple Business.”
“…”
Yoo-hyun hit the mark and his expression hardened.
Yoo-hyun went one step further.
“But if a key person leaves at this point, they will see it more negatively.”
“That’s right. That’s why I wanted to postpone it.”
“That’s not a problem that can be solved by doing that, sir. You know that better than anyone.”
“There’s no alternative, is there? No alternative.”
“No. There is one.”
Yoo-hyun spoke firmly to Vice President Go Jun-ho who was silent.
His voice tone changed suddenly and he looked up.
“What is it?”
“I know that the group leader asked you to report again.”
“So?”
“This time, I’ll take care of the report from our planning team.”
“You?”
“There’s no senior who can do better than me.”
Yoo-hyun confidently answered Vice President Go Jun-ho’s question.
But Vice President Go Jun-ho had already made up his mind.
“It’s not easy. If something goes wrong, it will be impossible.”
“No. I’ll make sure it works.”
“It’s not something that can be done by just deciding to do it.”
Yoo-hyun was confident that he could make it work.
But now was not the time to explain things that hadn’t happened yet.
The longer the conversation went on, the more useless arguments would pile up.
He needed to pull out his sword here.
Yoo-hyun went for it strongly.
“If I can’t get it through this time, I’ll resign.”
“What did you say?”
“I’m prepared to do that, sir.”
“You crazy…”
Vice President Go Jun-ho looked at Yoo-hyun with a dumbfounded expression.
Yoo-hyun didn’t back down and scratched his pride.
“Now, sir, show your will too.”
“…”
“You have nothing to lose, right?”
It wasn’t because Yoo-hyun pushed him that he moved.
As he had laid the groundwork today, he had nothing to lose.
He had to report to the group leader anyway, and no matter what he did, the chances of success were low.
It wasn’t that he trusted the employee’s spirit, but that this direction was right in terms of calculation.
That was why Vice President Go Jun-ho looked more troubled than angry.
Seeing him, Yoo-hyun drove in a nail.
“Sir, please clean up this corruption case neatly. I’ll really make it work.”
“Do you really think it’s possible?”
“Yes. Of course. And in the end, the ball is yours, sir.”
Vice President Go Jun-ho sighed and looked at Yoo-hyun.
His eyes were very fierce.
“Resignation letter, I’ll take it.”
“Yes. I’ll prepare it for you.”
Yoo-hyun faced him head-on without backing down.
For a moment, their eyes crossed fiercely.
The group had an ethics committee and each subsidiary had an investigation team under it.
Hansung Electronics was no exception.
There were separate investigation teams for each business unit.
Their main task was to resolve grievances that came up from the organization.
Usually they moved by voluntary personal reports or external company reports.
It was unusual for a person in charge to call them directly.
Was that why?
The investigation team in charge of LCD business unit moved as a whole.
He could hear the news from Jung Hyun-woo early the next morning.
After running for a while and sweating, he sat on a bench and said to Yoo-hyun next to him.
“Hyung, I think our team leader is going to the 4th factory today.”
“Why? Do you have someone to greet?”
Jung Hyun-woo was in the mobile development planning team, an organization that supported each person in charge.
Maybe that’s why he had a lot of sources.
Yoo-hyun pretended not to know and asked.
“I heard the investigation team is coming down.”
“It must be at least a team leader level if the team leader is moving.”
“Yes. Probably. But be careful.”
“Why?”
Jung Hyun-woo shook his shoulders and made a fuss at Yoo-hyun’s question.
“They’re really brutal.”
“Have you seen them?”
“I haven’t seen a team leader level, but last time there was a 1st class assault case…”
Jung Hyun-woo blabbered about all kinds of incidents and accidents.
The Ulsan factory was a bit closed, so there were a lot of minor problems.
He wanted to listen more, but it was time, so Yoo-hyun got up from his seat.
“Thanks for telling me interesting stories.”
“I can do this for you anytime.”
Jung Hyun-woo smiled brightly at Yoo-hyun’s words.
He was always a friendly junior and brother.
“Shall we run again?”
“Sure.”
Yoo-hyun nodded and Jung Hyun-woo shouted loudly.
He could feel the restless atmosphere from the morning commute.
It seemed that the investigation team had already arrived.
Yoo-hyun put his bag down on his seat and looked around.
Kim Seon-dong’s seat, who always came early, was empty.
Yoo-hyun greeted Maeng Gi-yong senior and asked him.
“Hello, senior.”
“Oh, Yoo-hyun.”
“Where is Kim senior?”
“I don’t know. His bag was there when I came.”
“I see.”
He probably got called by the investigation team.
Yoo-hyun nodded and Maeng Gi-yong senior asked him.
“Did you check your email yet?”
“No.”
“All the conference rooms are off-limits today. We can’t have a meeting in the afternoon.”
“That’s why I saw the windows of the conference rooms were all blocked when I came.”
Maeng Gi-yong senior looked puzzled as he heard Yoo-hyun’s answer.
“Why is that? I don’t think they had a meeting in charge this morning either.”
Then Lee Jin-mok senior cut in.
“Maeng senior, where are the team leader and Jung manager then?”
“I don’t know. They’re both missing. They seemed to have come to work though…”
Maeng Gi-yong senior shrugged his head.
“That’s weird.”
Lee Jin-mok senior was also curious.
It wasn’t just the two of them.
No one in the team had any idea what was going on right now.
It was an unprecedented situation that the investigation team department moved as a whole.
The purchasing team leader was summoned and the equipment company people were called.
All this happened in half a day.
No matter how quietly they handled things, rumors couldn’t be avoided.
Everyone was talking about it wherever they went.
It was the same on the rooftop where there were few people.
Maeng Gi-yong senior, who was standing next to Yoo-hyun on the railing, listened to the sound from the side.
The two men were talking loudly, even mentioning names.
“Well, from the pre-product team, Manager Hong…”
“They said he took more than 200 million won, right?”
“No wonder. He always went to room salons and stuff.”
“Yoon Gi-choon senior was also in on it. Kim Seon-dong senior was the only one who got used.”
“Tsk tsk. Why did he put up with that? Geez.”
“…”
Maeng Gi-yong senior looked at the sky without a word.
His expression looked very complicated.
He was silent for a long time and then said abruptly.
“Yoo-hyun, you were right.”
“About what?”
“You said there was something between Yoon senior and Seon-dong, right?”
“Yes. I did.”
“Why didn’t I know? I was always next to him…”
Maeng Gi-yong senior didn’t ask Yoo-hyun for details. He just muttered with a guilty expression.
Yoo-hyun listened quietly because he knew they were close friends.
After licking his lips for a while, he opened his mouth.
“He must have had a hard time.”
“Kim senior is a strong person.”
“I know. He’s smart and good at work. I got a lot of help from him too.”
“That’s not what I mean. He overcame it by himself.”
Yoo-hyun spoke calmly and Maeng Gi-yong senior turned his head.
“How do you know that?”
His eyes were slightly wet as he asked.
Yoo-hyun looked at his eyes and told him exactly what he had seen from Kim Seon-dong senior a while ago.
“I saw him stand up to Yoon senior.”
“Seon-dong?”
“Yes. He didn’t give in.”
“Why didn’t he tell me?”
Maeng Gi-yong senior laughed bitterly at Yoo-hyun’s words.
Yoo-hyun added the reason.
“He probably didn’t want to worry you, senior.”
“Thanks for telling me that.”
“What are you talking about?”
“No. Just…”
Maeng Gi-yong senior stopped talking and shook his head.
Then he turned around and said.
His expression looked much lighter.
“Let’s go now. Seon-dong should be out by now.”
“Yes, senior.”
Yoo-hyun answered quickly.
As Yoo-hyun and Maeng Gi-yong senior came down to the second floor, it happened.
They saw Hong Hyuk-soo manager’s face passing by the hallway.
He screamed at the man who was holding his arm next to him.
“I’m telling you, I really didn’t know.”
“Just come upstairs and talk.”
The man in a suit answered stiffly.
Then Yoon Gi-choon senior followed him.
There was also a man in a suit next to him.
Yoon Gi-choon senior cried out as if he was wronged.
“I just did what Manager Hong told me to do. I didn’t get anything either.”
At that sound, Hong Hyuk-soo manager turned around and scolded him.
“Hey. Yoon Gi-choon. You did it too.”
“No. Manager Hong did it all. He forced me to do it.”
“What are you talking about? You took the money too.”
“I never did that.”
The two men made a fuss and a middle-aged man who came behind them shouted loudly.
He was short but his eyes were very sharp.
“Stop it. What are you so proud of making such a noise?”
“…”
His voice was so powerful that the two men quieted down at once.
He had charisma.
Yoo-hyun intuitively knew that he was the investigation team leader.
As he appeared, the men in suits dragged Hong Hyuk-soo manager and Yoon Gi-choon senior down.
He didn’t know where they went.
But he knew they wouldn’t come back easily.
Watching them, Maeng Gi-yong senior clicked his tongue.
“The atmosphere is no joke.”
“That’s right.”
Yoo-hyun nodded too.
That was all.
He didn’t need to care anymore.
As he walked, Yoo-hyun said discreetly.
“Maeng senior, I have somewhere to go for a moment.”
“Okay. I’ll go ahead and talk to Seon-dong.”
“Yes. Kim senior likes the rooftop. And the vending machine coffee too.”
“Really? That’s surprising.”
“I found out by chance. I’ll be back soon.”
Yoo-hyun said politely and bowed.
He turned around and Maeng Gi-yong senior muttered.
“Nice guy.”
His eyes were full of affection.
