< Madness (1) >
“You know it because you saw it before, right? This is Shin Hye-sung.”
“Nice to meet you. I am Jeong Sang-woo.”
“I am Kang Jun-mo, the CEO of JM Agency.”
“Haha, you two cannot be unknown in this industry. Please sit over here.”
Shin Hye-seong personally greeted them and guided them to their seats.
meeting that followed.
“By the way, CEO Junmo Kang was originally a member of the Hyeseong Guild?”
“yes. I worked as a hunter manager for about 7 years.”
“I heard about it. He said he quit to do business.”
At those words, Junmo Kang laughed inwardly.
‘I was fired after uncovering internal corruption. It seems that we still can’t communicate well here.’
Perhaps, when Kang Jun-mo became the representative of a well-known agency, the Hyeseong Guild executives, who were in trouble, all agreed and did not report properly.
And Kang Jun-mo seemed to see a little bit of the future of the Hyeseong Guild in that respect.
‘The Comet Guild is also rotting.’
High-ranking officials who died.
They would not continue to evade responsibility in this way and try to improve the problems that were rotting inside.
As these problems pile up, the Comet Guild will not be able to avoid its downfall.
Of course, that may not be the immediate future.
However, when he saw the expression of Shin Hye-seong, who knew nothing about him, he became grumpy.
So, without realizing it, I spat out a word.
“Business? It’s not…”
“Yes?”
“I quit because I was fired, but I guess you didn’t know.”
“What does that mean? Did the Hyesung Guild cut out talented people like CEO Kang Jun-mo?”
“Hmm, it’s not a good memory, so let’s talk about this. After all, my past is not important, is it?”
Kang Joon-mo turns the topic.
At his words, Shin Hye-seong glared at his son Jin-wook Shin and the executives who were sitting next to him, then continued talking.
“…yes. By the way, these days, the growth of JM Agency is scary. After reading an article a while ago…”
After that, he deliberately avoided the main topic, talking about industry trends and the recent business expansion of the Comet Guild with a relaxed attitude as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, he was looking at Sang-woo and Kang Jun-mo with sharp eyes.
‘It stimulates patience.’
Sang-woo, who was listening to the story while connected to his alter ego, began to feel frustrated.
If it were Sang-woo, he would have said to start with the main topic, but Kang Jun-mo had already listened to him.
‘Director Shin Hye-seong is a very competent negotiator. In particular, it is rumored in the industry that it stimulates patience and makes people rush when negotiating in their favor. So don’t get caught up in his face.’
So I waited in silence.
how long has it been like that
Finally, after the tedious exploration, which proceeded sluggishly, the main topic began.
“I had a bit of a chatter. Now let’s talk about the main point. Did you get approval for the administrative disposition of the meat ginseng dungeon demolition not too long ago?”
“yes. I applied and got it.”
Shin Hye-sung showed a puzzled look at those words.
“Oh, it seems Hunter Jung Sang-woo didn’t understand something. Meat Ginseng Dungeon was managed by our Comet Guild.”
“I heard. But is that a problem? Dungeons are not privately owned.”
It was Sang-woo who directly pointed out that Hyeseong Guild had no legal ownership.
Shin Hye-sung’s expression became expressionless.
‘Such a foolish bastard…’
However, he answered without revealing too much.
“Still, we are using it now and will continue to use it in the future. And since the sales from the meat ginseng dungeon are significant, we never intend to give it up.”
“How much is your sales?”
Kang Jun-mo stepped forward and asked.
Shin Hye-sung looked at Shin Jin-wook, who was sitting next to him.
He felt his father’s gaze and answered instead.
“In the second quarter of this year alone, sales are about 27 billion won.”
Almost 27 billion in sales for half a year of only E-level dungeons?
However, Kang Jun-mo guessed the situation.
‘Carnivore Sam is a monster that eats animals while moving. So, it was popular as a health supplement because of its rich nutritional value. There were rumors that sales were good since I was working, but it was a bonanza dungeon after all.’
That’s why the Comet Guild is monopolizing it.
“Hmm…the sales are significant.”
“yes. That’s why we can’t give up on the meat ginseng dungeon.”
“Revenue is not what we know. But what if we forcefully demolish it?”
Sang-woo went out hard.
He didn’t care at all about how much sales the Comet Guild was making now.
At those words, Shin Hye-sung asked with a straight face.
“Hunter Jeong Sang-woo, you don’t know, but there is such a thing as a top coat. I’m sorry if you say that when you say you’re going to cut off someone else’s lifeline.”
“I am doing this to protect my rice bowl. And it looks like you’ve been drinking a lot of sweet water. It’s going through formal procedures anyway, so do I have to be responsible for the sales? I don’t think so. Did you try to sue?”
It was Sang-woo who spoke confidently because there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
‘Such a blue-eyed bastard can’t be cheap.’
Shin Hye-seong’s stomach was boiling, but his anger subsided.
Instead, he smiled and asked.
“Are you saying you’re going to push through even if there are people inside?”
It was a sign that they would not evacuate the people inside the dungeon so that it could not be demolished.
Shin Hye-sung prepared a secret counter in his own way.
But Sang-woo shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t care.
“yes. The withdrawal deadline will be notified anyway, and it’s their fault for not keeping it. I will definitely proceed with the demolition.”
Since the safety of his family was at stake, Sang-woo had no intention of stepping back.
Shin Hye-sung’s expression hardened at his pushy answer.
“Are you saying that you will drive countless hunters to their deaths?”
Shin Hye-sung hits the mark.
At those words, Sang-woo refuted with a straight face.
“Then, Captain Shin Hye-seong, are you saying that you intend to have the guild members reside inside the dungeon on purpose?”
“No. It would be purely of their own free will.”
Hyesung Shin said as if it would happen.
‘I won’t order it, but it will definitely happen,’ was the look in his eyes.
Then Sang-woo smiled and said.
“Then what does it matter? They’re illegally occupying it anyway. I don’t care if they die or not. Rather, they kindly guided us to withdraw, but if they didn’t go out and got stuck in the dungeon, that’s their choice. Isn’t that right, Director Shin Hye-seong?”
“…hmm.”
Shin Hye-sung let out a quiet voice.
I didn’t know that Sangwoo would come out so strong.
In the end, he raised both hands and feet.
“I lost. All right. I’ll give you the meat ginseng dungeon.”
“Good idea. thank you Captain.
Sang-woo grinned.
‘It will happen immediately.’
At that time, Shin Hye-sung added his words.
“Instead, I would like to make another suggestion to Hunter Jeong Sang-woo.”
“What condition? something?”
“It is not a condition. I just heard that you’re participating in the restoration plan for the North Korean region. It is a story about him.”
Although this story is a plan B, it was the goal Shin Hye-sung really wanted.
And as soon as he heard that, Kang Jun-mo put together a puzzle in his head about what he would suggest.
“Hmm, are you planning to monopolize the new dungeon in North Korea instead of the meat ginseng dungeon?”
It was Kang Jun-mo’s question that hit the mark.
Shin Hye-seong opened her eyes wide as if surprised to see Kang Jun-mo rightly guessing what to suggest.
“Hey, you are a ghost. you’re right.”
“Then what are we supposed to do? A monopoly is effectively an illegal occupation and we have no reason to help.”
“Oh, I’m not asking for help with possession. I’m just saying this because I want to know if I can get help if needed when raiding monsters that are difficult to capture.”
At those words, Kang Jun-mo looked at Sang-woo.
He looked at Sang-woo and nodded his head with a look in his eyes saying, ‘Are you okay?’
Sangwoo answered instead.
“It’s as simple as that. If it’s just once, I think I can help.”
“Haha, that’s enough. thank you.”
“Is that so? Shall we write a separate contract?”
“Would you like to write a simple page?”
Afterwards, they wrote a contract stating that the Hyeseong Guild would withdraw from the meat ginseng dungeon and that Sang-woo would go to support only once when the Hyeseong Guild needed help.
The two then shook hands.
“Thank you for your concession.”
“you’re welcome. We hope that our relationship will become even stronger in the future.”
After shaking hands with Shin Hye-sung, Sang-woo also shook hands with Shin Jin-wook, the leader of the 1st strategy team, who was next to him.
Shin Jin-wook holds Sang-woo’s hand with an expressionless face.
He gripped Sangwoo’s hand tightly in his hand.
‘Look at this?’
A robbery that would crush a normal person’s hand in an instant.
Of course, Sang-woo wasn’t impressed at all, but he was disgusted with this behavior.
so.
Kuwook-
Sangwoo also put strength into his hands.
OK.
“Sigh…!”
Shin Jin-wook groaned involuntarily at the tremendous strength as if he was being pressed down with a press.
His face turned red.
Sang-woo grinned.
‘Don’t be messy, man.’
And the executives and Shin Hye-sung shook their heads while watching the handshake of the two.
‘As expected, young children…’
After a while, the handshake ended.
Sang-woo and Kang Jun-mo left the Hyeseong Guild with Shin Jin-wook and Shin Hye-sung behind, who were caressing their hands with the other hand.
“You worked hard. Agent. No, sir.”
“What. This time, Hunter was good, so it was easy.”
“Well, I’ve abused my position a bit. Chow ha ha~”
“Ha ha. By the way, Cheol-su said that it will be finished by tomorrow, so what will you do?”
“That’s all you have to wait. When the withdrawal is complete, I will shake it off tomorrow.”
“All right. And there are other things. I got a call from Prince Mohammed…”
While the two talked about work, they went back to get in the car.
Shin Hye-seong, who was watching them through the window, opened her mouth without looking back.
“So who is the bastard who told me that Kang Jun-mo quit to do business?”
His low voice spread throughout the conference room.
Cold sweat ran down the backs of the executives who had not yet dispersed and remained in the conference hall.
“…”
And Shin Jin-wook, the son, was not the person involved, but he was in a state of embarrassment because of the handshake, so he kept his head down.
“Come out quickly and turn yourself in.”
When no one came out, Shin Hye-seong turned and looked at them and growled.
The executives who paid attention to those words.
Eventually, an executive cautiously opened his mouth.
“I have reported it to you.”
“okay? Choi was the director. Come to work for a minute.”
Director Choi stood up with his head bowed as if he had come.
Standing in front of Shin Hye-sung, he started making excuses.
“Actually, I only received a report… I didn’t hear that CEO Kang Jun-mo was fired and left the company while he was at the Hyesung Guild.”
“hmm… okay?”
Hyesung Shin nodded while patting her chin.
It was an expression and gesture that seemed to understand as if everyone knew.
but.
Jjaak-
He swung his hand and hit Director Choi on the cheek.
“100 million!”
Director Choi shrieked and rolled to the other side of the conference room.
With that power alone, it was a robber who would have fainted in one shot.
However, he was also from a hunter, so he got up quickly and stood in front of Shin Hye-seong again.
“That is your case. Aren’t you going to guard the lower ones?”
Jjaak-
Shin Hyeseong slapped Director Choi’s face with the palm of his hand again.
Director Choi is holding on as if he was prepared this time.
“Should I be humiliated like this by those who are very young!”
Jjaak-
Director Choi’s face as he returns.
After that, Shin Hye-seong started beating Director Choi, saying one word at a time.
And the faces of the executives and Shin Jin-wook who saw it began to rot in nervousness.
‘Ah, X feet. It’s X.’
‘Director Choi must be desperate. Ha, it’s really like X.’
‘Miss, Daddy’s there again. This is really bad for company morale.’
While each of them is trembling with different inner thoughts.
Shin Hye-seong stopped beating and shouted, as if his anger was relieved to some extent.
“If something like this happens again from now on, then you are the mother. okay?”
“yep!”
Director Choi, whose cheeks were swollen, answered quickly.
“Fuck off!”
Everyone rushed out of the meeting room as if they had lived only then under Shin Hye-sung’s banquet.
“Is Director Choi okay?”
“Do I look okay to you? I want it because it’s like X.”
“Stay patient. Doesn’t the salary pay well?”
“It should be. Ao Kim Dal -soo is because of the berry. ”
Sincerely, the top is Don Choi.
He grabbed the sore ball and strode toward the management team.
Suddenly –
Director Choi opened the door and entered.
The lowest-ranking employee at the entrance quickly got up and bowed his head.
“You’re here. Director.”
By the time everyone stood up after hearing the news of Director Choi’s visit at the loud voice.
Director Choi’s booming voice resonated throughout the office.
“Where is Kim Dal-su!”
Just like that, a storm swept through the management team of the Hyeseong Guild.
