[192] Securing Evidence 1
“I heard the kids messed up. I’m sorry, manager.”
“It was not planned, it happened suddenly, so it must have been difficult to respond. And… isn’t it foreign? There was also a language problem. Don’t worry too much.”
Seeing Director Woo Byung-jun’s hard expression, I felt more uncomfortable.
“It’s not a big deal, so leave it to Manager Moon.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
“Now then, shall we take a look at what mistakes I have made in the past and what evil deeds I have committed?”
I know it’s nothing special, but my palms are sweaty.
Woo Byung-jun smiled slightly and took out a small notebook from his bosom.
“The chief is a very boring person.”
You mean there was nothing special?
“My cousins had a lot of ingenious accidents when they went into puberty, but the director was only devoted to his studies… No, he was devoted.”
“It sounds like you didn’t come out with anything in particular because you were focused only on your work in college.”
“Don’t be too confident.”
Woo Byung-jun smiled and turned over the notebook.
“Tracking hidden accounts is currently impossible. It was judged that all domestic accounts were open and there was no borrowed name at all. Wow, he was very rich.
Oh, this man laughs? Would he have smiled like that if he had even found a hidden account?
“I don’t have any money hidden under a borrowed name? It’s all fair-earned money, so you have nothing to hide.”
“Maybe? I am most suspicious of American Miracle Investment, but I gave up on it because it was difficult to track down with my own capabilities.”
“No way? USA. If you are caught financially related, you will rot in prison for the rest of your life. There is no bad money.”
“Then it must be legitimate money. The question of how much is left remains… Anyway, there are no weak points that most Korean conglomerates have. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with anyone doing something like this.”
“So you mean there’s something else that could be a weakness for someone?”
“There was a little bit of immorality, but nothing to be considered a weakness. It means that he hid it really well or he stayed restrained in the first place…”
“Which one do you think Director Woo is?”
“Could it be the former? A bloody twenties with a lot of money. It is quite difficult to control your instincts.”
“I have an ex-girlfriend. Do you know?”
“Are you talking about the future judge who is on a murderous class schedule at the Judicial Research and Training Institute?”
“yes.”
“Isn’t it difficult to meet once a month? It is even more strange that you confidently say that I am your girlfriend.”
A strange smile appeared on Woo Byung-jun’s lips as he answered.
“You must have found something. You said it was a bit immoral, right?”
“Behind the Sangnok Hall in Gangnam, there was a ten pro named Maui.”
“Puhaha!”
Laughter is the best way to hide embarrassment.
“Did you find it? You are amazing.”
“I got goosebumps.”
“yes?”
“I thought that it could not be like this without it. I tried very hard with the staff, but they couldn’t find it. So I changed my method.”
“how?”
“I followed in the footsteps of the person who has been with the director for the longest time.”
“Representative Oh Se-hyun?”
Woo Byung-jun smiled and nodded his head.
“It was his regulars. If you have something to entertain, you always use that place…” “
Well, so I was sure that there would be a corner where I could secretly enjoy without holding back my instincts, so I investigated until it was revealed.”
“That’s right. I thought CEO Oh Se-hyun was the only person who could guide the chief in that direction. And I was right. He secretly enjoyed it once or twice a month.”
“With that, you won’t be caught and manipulated?”
“yes. This is the only dust I’ve ever brushed off. I assure you, no one else will have a harder time than this.”
It is not the purpose of this job to find my weakness and suture it. It was a task to check whether there was a way to counterattack when I found my uncle’s weakness and attacked.
It is certain that there can be no counterattack.
And another thing was to check the ability of managing director Byung-Jun Woo…. It’s a bit ambiguous.
Finding a place called Maui is surprising, but I wouldn’t say it’s exceptional.
“Then let’s move on to the next one.
“We’ve already started. At Sunyang Construction, we are investigating three key personnel who worked at the Management Support Headquarters at the time.”
“See also what I found out. December ’97, January ’98. At this time, you should focus on the person in charge.”
Director Woo Byung-jun’s eyes flashed.
“How did you know?”
“There was a mark on the account. You figured it out.”
“Are you in Malaysia…?”
“yes.”
“okay. It wasn’t a vacation after all.”
“It is a vacation. Finding out is a bonus.”
Woo Byeong-jun, who put the notebook in his arms, stood up.
“I will give you the first report in ten days. If there are parts that are incomplete, it will take more time.”
“It’s not urgent, so don’t be in too much of a hurry.”
“It is right to deal with it quickly and accurately. We will make sure that we don’t miss the point just because we are in a hurry.”
The results are already known.
Hundreds of billions of won of company funds were siphoned off. All you have to do is secure the evidence… no, get a witness and the witness will bring the evidence.
When should I use the vibrator vice president’s weakness?
***
Exactly 10 days later, I sat face-to-face with Managing Director Woo Byeong-joon at an officetel in Yeouido.
In the document that Director Woo showed us, there were two names written on it.
Executive Director Lim Jong-yoon.
Manager Kyu-hwan Jeong.
“During the IMF, many people were laid off, but two were promoted. From director to managing director, from team leader to manager.”
“okay. When it’s difficult, it’s common sense to clean up the support department first…”
Production and sales are the two pillars of the manufacturing industry, so they are subordinated to cleanup, but it’s hard to get rid of skates… Management, finance, and general affairs. These three departments are in the first place in terms of layoffs when they suffer from losses or face a management crisis.
However, the director and team leader of the support department overflowing with energy are promoted in the midst of the great crisis of the IMF? In particular, Lim Jong-yoon jumped two levels from director to managing director.
It means that you have received great trust or have done a very difficult task.
“No one stood out except these two.”
“Did something come out?”
“It’s a construction floor, isn’t it originally a place covered with sand and cement? If you dust off two people, you can build a house.”
Woo Byeong-jun turned over several files.
“Executive Director Lim Jong-yoon is running a human resources company. Supplying day laborers to the apartment construction site of Sunyang Construction
…
“Isn’t this a way to steal money? But this guy was a bit harsh. Senior Vice President Lim is the president, and he makes billions of dollars a year.”
Billions, not hundreds of millions?
This would be impossible without the ashes of my uncle.
“Then it would be correct to see it as a window for Sunyang Construction’s slush funds, right?”
“Yes, but if the rice cake is big, isn’t it the way to ask for a lot of rice cake dumplings?”
“You mean there are a lot of things stolen without even my uncle knowing.”
“yes. Even the vice president will turn a blind eye to it up to 3.4 billion won a year. But the money I took last year is one billion.”
billion? This is not a level to close your eyes to.
The company also has unspoken rules.
The manager in charge turns a blind eye to the level of getting a meal or a drink.
It is only natural for the manager to receive a set of ribs on holidays.
It is a daily routine for executives to receive golf entertainment.
But that’s it.
The reason executive director Lim Jong-yoon is wasting so much money is not because he believes in Vice Chairman Dong-gi’s confidence, but because he believes in his weakness. The belief that he will not be able to easily get rid of himself knowing the corruption of the vice president.
sleep stupid
You don’t know how toxic and scary the people in my family are.
“Executive Director Lim Jong-yoon will end soon. great. Then, how about manager Jeong Kyu-hwan?”
“This friend’s life has changed so much that there are jokes about him finding a treasure chest full of gold bars.”
“The so-called life reversal?”
The lottery hasn’t even come out yet. Was it starting next year? So it’s not like you won the lottery right away.
“yes. That has changed since ’98. I sent my wife and children to the United States, where they attend prestigious private schools in Boston. Ordinary goose dads organize their apartments and crawl into an officetel, but Jung moved to a residential-commercial complex. I change my car too.”
“It seems that the vice-president took care of his part.”
“That’s right.”
“I did something dirty, and you can see it as a silencer.”
The problem is that even if he did a bad job, it can’t be a weakness. I mean, he was following his father’s instructions.
“So, what is Director Jeong’s dust?”
“It is right not to change one’s life even if money comes in. But this friend was so revelatory that even people in the same department started whispering. Of course, there were even bigger accidents.”
Woo Byung-jun, managing director, clicked his tongue with a contemptuous expression and held out a photo that was sandwiched between documents.
“This is a female employee who works on the same floor.”
“Affair?”
“yes. Wife, the first thing I did after sending my child was to seduce a nice female employee. An expensive jewelery gift, a fancy dinner in the hotel restaurant. Import midsize sedan. and ability demonstrated by rapid promotion. Everything looks great in the eyes of a child just starting out in society.”
“This is rather lethal.”
“yes. If the wife finds out, the divorce is attributable to the man’s infidelity, so half of the property is lost, including child support. It is a weakness worse than embezzlement.”
Director Woo looked me in the eye and said.
“Is this enough?”
“no. Enough. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Good job. no. Anyway, now what are you going to do with this dust ball?”
“You have to push the dust under the bed and pretend you didn’t see it. But get paid first.”
Woo Byung-jun started to look at me with worried eyes.
“If you plan to meet them in person and threaten them, leave it to me…”
“Threat? That’s a risk for me too. I’m just pitching a suggestion. You know the famous lines of the godfather, right?”
“An offer you can’t refuse.”
“That’s right.”
“It’s a joke. In the movie, that offer was blackmail.”
“I am different. I will throw an offer that will ignite the desire of interest people, and they will receive it with a smile. Even if you hold on to your weaknesses, you will not threaten me, so you will be grateful and consider me a benefactor.”
“Can you tell me what your proposal is?”
“It’s simple. Now, the two have learned the taste of money. You won’t be able to stop now. I intend to give you a lot of that delicious money.”
Woo Byung-jun, lost in thought for a moment, carefully opened his mouth.
“It’s off topic, but let me tell you something. Don’t try to satisfy your desires and get what you want. In a panic, let yourself come up with what you need. Fear is a greater force than desire.”
What path has this person taken so far?
Is this this person’s way?
Getting what you want with fear as a weapon is not something anyone can do.
“Money kneels before bigger money. It is impossible to satisfy all their desires.”
“Mr. Woo.”
“Yes,
“You can overcome fear, but you cannot overcome desire. Anyway, these two will destroy themselves because of their desire. I get what I want with my money, and these two only speed up their self-destruction because of my money.”
Woo Byung-jun, who was lost in his thoughts again, finally smiled.
“It reminds me of Aesop’s Fables. After all, it is the sunlight that takes off the coat?”
“That’s right. But this story is a bit different. I’m not going to take off my coat, I’m going to take off my comfortable life.”
Looking at him smiling, I also smiled.
Would you like to get a little closer to this person today?
