[231] Unpredictable whirlpool 1
There are dozens of eyes that stare directly at you and hundreds of ears that are sensitive to rumors.
Just when it was hard to hide the fact that my grandfather was confined to the hospital, he collapsed again.
The first news of the new year was a flash, but I couldn’t run to the hospital.
“Chief. I checked the people gathered in the hospital room, but they said that only the vice presidents, his wife, and the director were there. Manager, since none of your cousins are there, why don’t you wait?”
It was Assistant Manager Kim Yoon-seok who caught my urgent footsteps. He looked at me and continued.
“At a time like this, if you show up in the hospital room alone, won’t you get unnecessary glare? Anyway, when the chairman wakes up, he will find the chief. It would be better if only the two of you met then.”
So far, I’ve only followed instructions, and I’m the first to comment.
It also pointed out what to watch out for when I was not in a hurry to catch my breath. Did he learn from the actions of Chief Lee Hak-jae?
“How can I stay in close contact with the hospital?”
“Wouldn’t you like to be contacted by the hospital director or your father, who is the director? And I’ve got some hands on.”
“Are you using your hands?”
“The guards in the hospital room are all the hands and feet of chief Lee Hak-jae. I’ve been working under him for several years, and I’ve built up some personal relationships with the security guards. They grilled pork belly and drank soju together. I asked to be informed of the situation from time to time, so I won’t miss an important moment.”
Do you manage people in advance? Is this friend’s strength unknown?
“is it so. Let’s wait now. Instead, you shouldn’t miss a moment. Don’t let me have a moment of embarrassment because I don’t know what’s going on in the hospital room.”
“All right. We will update and report from time to time.”
Kim Yun-seok’s expression was full of confidence.
* * *
With four sons, four daughters-in-law, and one daughter, as many as nine people gathered, even the largest room in the special ward seemed cramped.
“Please don’t raise your voice and let’s go out and talk. Your father is recovering.”
From his sister who makes a fuss, to the second brother who constantly asks questions to the big brother doctors who are holding on to the hospital director… Jin Yoon-gi almost pushed them away, wanting to get them out of the hospital room as soon as possible.
“This manager! Follow me too. Let’s talk!”
Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki shouted at Chief Lee Hak-jae, who was standing there, and went out of the hospital room. Director Lee’s cheeks twitched as he glared at his back.
Now, he was angry at Jin Young-ki’s tone of treating him as a subordinate, but he relaxed his expression as he looked at Jin Yoon-ki holding his hand.
“Aren’t you a person who has no up or down when you get excited? Brother, be patient.”
“What is the superior? That person is the person closest to the Sunyang Group chairman’s office, and now all that remains is for me to be kicked out.”
“older brother! What kind of small grain is that?”
“done. let’s hurry. It seems like everyone has a lot to say to me, doesn’t it? Hehe.”
Lee Hak-jae tapped the worried Jin Yoon-gi on the shoulder and moved on.
The hospital director broke into a cold sweat and explained Chairman Jin’s condition. When the conclusion came out of his mouth that he could not guarantee the future, a low sigh flowed from the mouths of his children.
“How long do you have left? You’re not talking about a couple of months or half a year, are you?”
Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki shot at the hospital director.
“It is not a predictable disease. It is due to aging, so it is beyond the ability of doctors to estimate the remaining life.”
The third, Jin-sang, also frowned and shouted.
“what? Is that what comes out of the doctor’s mouth? I’m full of energy…”
Finally, Vice Chairman Jin Young-ki exploded.
“Let’s see, so are these crazy? I don’t even know the fraction because I call you teacher teacher…! these cubs I hired them while paying that huge salary to save people! If it’s like a company, the guy who says a single word like that is a moron. You bastards.”
“older brother!”
When Jin Yoon-gi tried to stop his mouth that was pouring out harsh words, Jin Young-ki even glared at his younger brother and screamed.
“You are the same bastard! If this happened, you should have let us know first. And we should have cut all these incompetent doctors and called a proper doctor, whether it be from the US or Japan!”
The director of the hospital bowed his head and left, and the rest of the doctors followed him.
When the doctors disappeared, Vice President Vibrator laughed. The laugh was obvious.
“Let’s be honest. Isn’t it because of incompetence that couldn’t be saved? Isn’t it more upsetting not knowing how much time is left? There are a lot of things to prepare to sit in the chairperson’s seat.”
“This bastard is really…”
When the eyes of the two collided, Jin Seo-yoon jumped up and said.
“It’s a good thing. Aren’t you ashamed of your age looking at your 60th birthday? It’s just that we can’t eat each other.”
“what?”
“hey!”
She ignored her two brothers and took off her coat and handbag.
“Take a good look. I’ll even massage your arm by your father’s side.”
Jin Seo-yoon left without looking back.
She is no longer a player on the field or a substitute on the bench. Since it was only a step, no one caught her sister.
With the sound of Jin Seo-yoon closing the door, everyone did not open their mouths, leaving only awkward silence.
The person who broke the silence was Lee Hak-jae, head of the department.
“Vice President. I have nothing else to say, but if you have something to say, do it.”
Jin Young-gi’s eyebrows twitched because of the rather provocative tone.
“Why on earth did you hide that your father was ill? Why did you keep quiet after only knowing Yoongi?”
“Brother, that is Ohap.”
“You keep your mouth shut. I asked this manager. I have something to ask you, so wait.”
When Jin Yoon-gi came out, Jin Young-gi squealed.
“That is also Ohap. Director Jin Yoon-gi is in a position where hospital officials have no choice but to report. A super-special VIP is brought to the hospital, but what if the director of the hospital doesn’t know? He didn’t even talk to me, and there’s no reason for that.”
“good. Then why did you hide it from me, the eldest son? Is there any reason why I shouldn’t know that my father passed away?”
“well. It’s just the president’s instructions. I don’t even know the President’s heart.”
“what?”
“He told me to keep my mouth shut even if there are red flags for my health. He said he didn’t want to see his child’s face when he woke up in the hospital. He said he was speaking directly to his children, so I just followed his will.”
Chief Lee Hak-jae said with an expressionless face and a dry voice.
It was the president’s order, so I couldn’t follow it any further.
Looking at the embarrassing expressions of the second generation, Lee Hak-jae’s expressionless appearance did not change. A businesslike voice came out again.
“In case you didn’t know, I called my wife in Switzerland, but she just answered that she knew and hung up. I think it would be good to contact you once.”
Lee Hak-jae said to Jin Young-ki.
She is a wife who hates her husband, but her love for her eldest son is as good as anyone else’s. It was because I thought I had to watch Chairman Jin’s death, which was unknown when.
Jinyoung nodded his head.
“I will call you. And… Chief Lee, would you like to see me? Would you like to talk quietly?”
At that moment, both the vibrator and the truth phase lit up their eyes.
Lee Hak-jae, who did not miss this look, smiled slightly.
“Vice President Jin Young-ki. Unnecessary misunderstanding is now a specification. Let’s talk together where everyone is.”
Jin Young-gi sighed briefly when he saw the sharp eyes of his two younger brothers.
“Are you going to send the jesus back home? The doctors also said that the hurdle was over, so you can come back when Father wakes up. You too go home.”
When the daughters-in-law looked at their husbands and hesitated, the husbands nodded.
When all the daughters-in-law left, Jin Yoon-ki stood up.
“I’m not curious about what my brothers are going to say, so I’ll avoid them. let them know When the hospital calls, they run quickly. I’ll keep in touch the same way, so don’t say anything to me now.”
When Jin Yoon-gi left, only the three brothers and Lee Hak-jae remained. When Jin Young-gi glared at Lee Hak-jae with an astringent expression, Vibrator opened his mouth first.
“I’ll ask you anything you’re curious about. I am also very curious.”
Vibrator’s eyes turned to Lee Hak-jae.
“Chief. Is there anything unusual about your father’s will? Whether it’s the distribution of the remaining shares or the specific person you think will be the successor…”
Lee Hak-jae looked around at the three brothers and said with a smile.
“It seems like everyone is curious, so I’ll tell you what I know. First, I have never seen the former chairman’s will. So I have nothing to say. Second, there is no controlling stake in the group owned by the chairman. The succession work is complete.”
Joy and sadness were mixed when he said that there were no more shares left.
Jin Young-gi’s expression brightened in an instant, and Jin-sang was the most earthy.
He is the third son of Soon-yang, but all he has in his hands are a few foundations that he can’t do anything about. forever and ever
The expression of the vibrator was also not good.
If things go on like this, there is no choice but to give Jin Young-ki the chairmanship.
“Are you sure? Do you have any more shares?”
Jin-Sang could not easily accept this hopeless situation. It was hard to admit that the slightest bit of hope was gone.
“We can’t leave a ‘legacy’ of a stake that affects the group’s dominance. How are you going to pay the inheritance tax? I don’t know if there are any leftover stocks in affiliates, but they are also managed by the chairman’s personal lawyer.”
Jin-sang unknowingly let out a long sigh and kicked the awkward chair.
“Then what is left is your father’s personal property?”
“yes. But don’t expect too much. Didn’t you always say it like a habit? They say that there are many people who have been indebted to throughout their lives, so they give it to them.”
Lee Hak-jae stuck out his tongue at Jin Young-ki’s greed.
It has already inherited core affiliates. Even though he received a huge inheritance that is impossible to calculate, that greed as if he was aiming for his personal property , which is nothing more
than new blood .
“wait for a sec.”
It was the vibrator that summoned Lee Hak-jae, who was about to leave.
“What will the manager do?”
“yes?”
“I’m asking what you plan to do at the Sunyang Group, where your father is away.”
Lee Hak-jae never thought he would be asked such a question. And I hadn’t even thought about the post-Chairman’s death in detail.
“It would be best to put new wine in a new wineskin. Since the two vice presidents have their own aides, I will quietly disappear. It’s just…”
Lee Hak-jae spoke to the two in a polite tone.
“Please take good care of the staff I had. They are hard-to-find talent. If we move elsewhere, it is a loss for the group.”
“Chief Lee, wouldn’t the group lose money if he moved to another place? Why don’t we stay for the cruise?”
This suggestion of a vibrator was also unexpected.
What is his intention?
Lee Hak-jae came up with the word ‘somewhere else’.
Do you think that you, who know Sunyang inside out, will go to another company and tell the black secret? If it is said in this way, it is an insult.
He reigned with the best treatment in the company he devoted his whole life to. At least, I don’t take Chairman Jin’s trust lightly.
“Moving the nest has to be on time, too. I would think about Sunyang’s chairmanship, but I don’t consider any other places. As I said, I will quietly leave my current job. Then…”
Lee Hak-jae lowered his head a little and left.
Thinking that they would be a little confused made me smile.
