[110] Where is my seat? 1
“No matter how hard you try to live, no one will listen. In this world, there are people who work hard but are in a hurry to make ends meet. Do you want to waste your life just struggling like that?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to suffer than to play and eat?”
I felt the sincerity of saying that I would not take money.
“I heard that Do-jun decided to give you three chances. Wouldn’t it have been so bad?”
“I am just grateful for that mindset. What can I say?”
Chairman Jin paused for a moment before continuing.
“Why didn’t you ask me a moment ago? With just one word from me, you could have become Do-jun’s person. You missed that opportunity.”
“There was nothing wrong with what the president said. I realized that I was only holding on to Chief Jin Do-jun’s ankles. Wouldn’t it be pity if you had a guy who only held your ankle? I want to stop being like that.”
“It is quite useful in terms of quickly grasping the subject. good night. i won’t knock you down I will find a suitable position for you, so keep working at the company.”
Even though it was a warm word, Kim Yoon-seok only smiled bitterly.
“Didn’t I just tell you? Stop pitying.”
“If you don’t want to do thanks for peace, stop. i get it.”
He could have suggested one more time, even as a greeting, but Chairman Jin calmly turned away.
“Ah, there was something I wanted to ask you, but you just talked about something else.”
“Speak. President.”
“Do you think it was a truck accident you saved?”
Yunseok Kim answered without any delay.
“I already told Chief Jin Do-jun about that.”
Chairman Jin was dumbfounded by Kim Yun-seok’s answer. I told my grandson, listen from there. doesn’t this mean
I cleared my throat and opened the door to the hospital room.
“A guy with a back end. haha.”

The soundproofing of the VIP room is also good.
I overheard some conversation outside the hospital room, but only a low mumble came out.
Grandpa looked at me, smiled, and walked back to the hospital room.
“What were you talking about?”
“You don’t know. really…!”
The grandfather suddenly stopped walking and lowered his voice.
“I told him about the accident, what did he say?”
Accident…….
Deputy Kim kept his mouth shut to his grandfather. This is also a good attitude.
Doesn’t it mean that I have the recommendation to convey secret secrets and information to someone, and that Assistant Manager Kim himself keeps his mouth shut?
“It’s difficult for me to be sure of myself, so I’m saving my words. He said there was a possibility that it was not an accident.”
“Isn’t it an accident?”
“yes. I’m not sure, but I got the feeling that the truck was waiting for us.”
Grandpa’s brow narrowed.
“Um…”
“It’s just a memory. Not sure.”
“done. I don’t know.”
It is understandable that he is reluctant to go deeper. If it’s not an accident, it’s likely that the family is involved. I quickly opened my mouth to erase the awkward feeling.
“Rather than that, what about Assistant Manager Kim Yoon-seok? Should I just end it like this?”
“I don’t know that either. I’ll try to make him act as a person, so wait. If you don’t see the possibility, you will only cause trouble by your side anyway.”
“Grandpa?”
“okay. One is worth using.”
“what is that?”
“Respect. It is the first and most important condition for subordinates to follow superiors. He respects you.”
Grandpa resumed his stopped steps.
“It looks like you have the basics you need, so you have to learn the job. If you don’t have a head, whether you’re a basic person or a person who meets the conditions, you’re the king of words.”
Yunseok Kim is a lucky man.
Since the chairman of the Sunyang Group directly selected the position, he had an opportunity to grow significantly in a short period of time.
Although the body and mind will suffer a lot.

Early Sunday morning, luxury sedans entered Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki’s villa one after another.
People getting out of the car were uniformly dressed to play golf, but this is a villa, not a golf course.
As they shook hands and disappeared into the villa, their expressions were hardened unbefitting the sunny weather.
Unlike the guests, Vice Chairman Jin Young-gi greeted them with a bright smile.
“Sorry for bothering you. It’s because there are so many eyes these days. haha.”
After holding hands one by one, we guided them to a spacious table.
As more than a dozen people filled the table, Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki raised his spoon.
“The taste of rice here is different because the water is good. Let’s go.”
We slowly ate breakfast and started talking about important things.
“Did you confirm what I said?”
Jin Young-ki looked down at the bowl without looking at anyone and said, but it was clear who had to answer.
“I got sore all over the Myeongin University Hospital. The operation was successful and he is said to be healthy enough to be discharged.”
“What was the operation?”
“It was an operation to remove a malignant brain tumor.”
At the mention of a malignant brain tumor, the table stopped even rattling.
Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki also has many hands and feet. I am one of the few people who hears the results first when the surgery is over. The reason he brought up the topic of surgery again at this table was for a different reason.
“By the way, the hospital director.”
“yes.”
“What are the chances of a malignant brain tumor recurring?”
The director of Sunyang Medical Center wiped his lips with his tongue.
“The brain is the most unpredictable area. And malignant tumors are called malignant because they always have a high possibility of recurrence.”
“What are the chances of a recurrence in your father’s case?”
“For older adults, relapses always exceeded 50%. The reason it’s only half-probable is because… dying of recurrent old age.”
No one at the table did not notice why Vice Chairman Jin and the hospital director were talking about this.
This is to say that Sunyang’s founder, Chairman Jin Yang-cheol, has only a few days left to live.
“The director will continue to take care of you. Chairman, you should live a long time.”
“yes. I will do my best.”
Upon hearing this answer, Jin Young-gi raised his head.
“The director’s secret to health is small meals. Have you finished eating already?”
“yes? Ah…”
The hospital director put down the spoon and stood up from the table. His face was crumpled, but what could he do?
Since he is only in charge of the opening of the show he has prepared, it is natural for him to go down the stage before the main performance begins.
When the hospital director disappeared, Vice Chairman Jin Young-gi said while biting his chopsticks.
“All the owners of Sunyang know what the Joseon Rice Wine Museum in Gunsan means, right?”
The presidents of affiliates exchanged glances with each other and nodded their heads.
“Not long ago, our president took his grandson there. It’s all because of my lack.”
There was even an exclamation at the quiet table. This is because everyone was able to guess who the grandson Jin Young-gi was talking about was and even knew what it meant.
Another successor has appeared.
The tight composition of the two sons is broken and split into three pieces.
“Chairman, who doesn’t know when he will pass away… But the group is only in a thicker fog. The business situation is already on the decline.”
Representative directors of affiliates began to feel anxious about the invitation to breakfast today. I felt like I was going to hear something I shouldn’t have heard.
“I have invited you all because I want to clear the thick fog and make the uncertain future a little clearer.”
“Here, Vice President. If you are talking about the succession structure, we will only follow the wishes of the President.”
The words of the most cowardly. It is because if this meeting leaks out, it will be out of the sight of President Jin.
“I will tell you about the succession structure.”
Jin Young-ki glared at the terrified boss and gave strength to his voice.
“A third of the group, maybe half, is a kid who is only 21 now. Or you can take all of them. Because of my old grandfather’s erring affection. Isn’t it natural to discuss this risk with the president?”
“Vice President. It’s not enough to discuss the overall group… It’s not even the main affiliate…” “
Each affiliate has different sales and different scales, but don’t they have something in common? All affiliates hold an even share in the group. The company you are in charge of must also have quite a few stocks in other companies. isn’t it? The owner of Sunyang Electric?”
Affiliates hold shares in each other. It is a magical name circular shareholding in which Chairman Jin Yang-cheol controls the group with a 1.65% stake in the group.
“The CEO of the company is the CEO. The final approval of official company documents is the CEO. Legally, the president and vice-president do not even exist. Isn’t it?”
“The actual authority is more important than the law. Do you not accept approval from the chairman for confidential documents?”
The president of Sunyang Electric shook his hand as if it was not right, but Vice Chairman Jin Young-gi only smiled.
“Should I make you realize that you have that authority?”
The vice president glanced at the man standing near the table.
The man took out a file of documents and began passing one copy to the presidents of each affiliate.
“The document lists the stock holdings of the company you are entrusted with.”
This is something you know well even if you don’t tell me. However, the documents were not simply about stock status. This document was a contract.
“You just need to stamp your corporate seal. Then, all stocks owned by your company will be collected in Sunyang Precision Machinery. Sunyang Precision Machinery will buy them all.”
Of course, the largest shareholder of Sunyang Precision Machinery is Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki. It is a privately held and not very large company.
“How is it? It is the representative director’s right to sell the company’s assets. Do you now feel the authority you have?”
A few spoonfuls of unopened breakfast seemed to make me sick. The air conditioner constantly blows out cold air, but some bosses even break out in a cold sweat.
What if all the group stocks owned by the dozen or so affiliates gathered here are gathered in one place?
Everyone has been busy brainstorming, but no one has a clear idea of how complex governance will change. However, I do know that Sunyang Precision Machinery Co., Ltd. has enough power to shake the group.
“Vice Vice President. Paying for this contract is a monthly right. Even if we have three or four heads, there won’t be any left.”
I am not saying this because I am the president of a non-mainstream affiliate. Even the president of Soonyang Electronics, the group’s signboard, would have said the same thing.
When the trembling gazes of the bosses stuck to Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki’s face, he burst into laughter.
“Heh heh, this is true. What if you already look at it with those eyes? I was just telling you the power you have. It’s not like I’m going to pass it right now. When a guy who doesn’t have blood on his head jokes about playing the chairman, when he’s arguing that he’ll split up the group and take it out, you should use your legal strength. Do you understand?”
Everyone sighed and cleared their chests. The crazy thing about the president who reigns with both eyes open has become a thing of the future.
“Because my words got too long, the stew and soup got cold. I will prepare it again, so please enjoy it and go.”
Jin Young-ki quickly got up and left the table before anyone could say anything.
Worries are theirs. If the trouble is long, you can force a decision with a carrot and a stick.
The president of an affiliate is no different from a running horse.
