[261] Together for a while 2
“Yun Ho-il, CEO of Sunyang Life Insurance.”
“yes. Manager.”
The expression of President Yoon, whom I appointed, was much brighter than the others. The moment former CEO Yang Woo-chan appeared in the conference room, he intuitively sensed his dismissal.
But when I appeared in place of the two vice-presidents I thought would lead the board, there was no way I wasn’t aware that the tide had turned.
“The board of directors should move forward quickly.”
“yes.”
President Yun Ho-il pushed his chair and stood up.
“For convenience, I would like to ask for your understanding about the meeting of the integrated board of directors of Sunyang Group’s financial affiliates, and I would like to present the agenda of the temporary board of directors.”
He glanced around at the CEOs and continued talking.
“first. This is related to the dismissal and appointment of the CEOs of Sunyang Life Insurance, Sunyang Card, Sunyang Fire & Marine Insurance, and Sunyang Securities. Anyone with an opinion please tell me.”
Everyone started to keep their mouths shut as if they were dumb who had eaten honey. The fact that I appeared in this conference room means that the majority shareholder remains unchanged.
Saying that we should dismiss the CEO appointed by such a major shareholder is no different from saying that we will write a resignation. And no one wants to write a resignation letter.
After looking around the quiet interior, President Yun Ho-il confirmed again.
“No? So let’s move on to the second issue. It is about the dismissal of the company’s directors.”
When I glanced at Vice President Jang Do-hyung, he quickly opened his mouth.
“I will speak for a moment about the progress of the meeting.”
When Vice President Jang looked at President Ho-il Yun and said, he nodded.
“Let me suggest to save time. If you have no particular opinion on today’s board agenda, why don’t you close the board meeting?”
As everyone looked at each other with their mouths firmly shut, President Yun Ho-il opened his mouth.
“Today’s board agenda has been withdrawn due to lack of opinions. This concludes the temporary board meeting.”
As soon as his words were finished, they began to rise from their seats one by one, and Vice President Jang Do-hyung spoke again.
“CEOs of each affiliate, please stay for a while.”
With these words as a signal, the executives left the meeting room as if they were running away.
The four bosses all blushed slightly from excitement and tension. It is because they know very well that I, who put myself in the CEO position, means that they are also strong.
Vice President Jang Do-hyung handed them several documents.
“This is a newly organized personnel list. Let’s take this opportunity to clean up the people of the two vice presidents. I can no longer stand by the shameless people who pledge their allegiance to the wrong place and receive their salary from our company.”
“Then this list is…?”
“I gave it to you to double check. Check to see if anyone has made a mistake in it.”
They glanced at me and started checking my name.
“I’ll tell you in advance in case you don’t know. Please do not look at me and judge me correctly.”
The conference room that held the board of directors meeting that went in vain suddenly turned into the seat of the personnel committee.
After looking closely for about ten minutes, when they presented the list again, some people were marked with a pen.
“These guys are from the other side, but their skills and abilities are outstanding. It’s a little bit like this…”
President Yun Ho-il looked at me and said.
“It may have come from the name of the business card that the president thinks that ability is an executive. I’d like to follow your will, but I can’t this time. Don’t look at the ability, judge only which one. And find talented people with outstanding skills and abilities and put them in that position. Isn’t that also the CEO’s job?”
When the list was reorganized, it was not too different from Vice President Jang Do-hyung’s judgment.
I pointed to the list and said firmly.
“All those people should be dispatched to the regional sales office. In the case of the cruise card, you can send it to the debt collection department. Also, I plan to change the water all the way to the manager level. Do not leave a single one of those executives behind and drive them all to the front-line sales office.”
“You mean up to the manager level?”
“yes.”
“It might get a little noisy if we organize it up to the manager level.”
“Should I even worry about that? Isn’t it the basic of basics to organize things so that they don’t become noisy?”
The bosses erased their embarrassed expressions and bowed their heads.
I said to Vice President Jang Do-hyung.
“Vice President Jang is also with us. Please submit the personnel appointment by tomorrow and report the results.”
“yes. Manager.”
When I got up from my seat, the bosses also jumped up.
“Don’t let the two vice presidents dare to ask for a board of directors to take over the financial group again. You have to build a strong organization so that even if you try to get rid of you and put someone else in, you won’t be able to do it because there are no people. The mass layoffs I’m doing now aren’t just for me. It is also for you.”
I left the conference room behind them with their heads down.
A big hurdle has been overcome and it is time to build a stronger defense wall.
* * *
『…I deeply apologize for the confusion caused by the hasty investigation that failed to properly verify the information and evidence. We also apologize to those who have been misunderstood because of this.
I am going to leave the prosecution, taking responsibility for damaging the reputation of the prosecution because of my personal mistake…]
“What did that friend decide?”
“I’m going to join the legal team at my father’s company. I paid 10 times the salary of the prosecutor to bring him back, so even that man is not at a loss.”
“I fixed it by selling it in one press conference.”
Vice Chairman Vibrator and I confirmed the second press conference of the prosecutor who pulled the trigger first and turned off the TV.
“What about Labuan money?”
“I’m going to finish my work here and fly myself to withdraw it. And I will destroy all the data.”
“Don’t even think about using it twice. I’m sure you’re smart, so you won’t do anything stupid like that.”
“Believe me. It is on the other hand that even drafted joint voting rights.”
We picked up the papers that each of us signed.
“I’m saying it because it’s on the one hand, but this time it was too severe. Pruning to the manager level ruins the atmosphere of the entire group. It’s not good for the owner’s family’s stake dispute to affect the regular employees.”
“This is something you don’t know. For a salaryman with a tie, everyday life is a tightrope. Since all department managers and above have flown away, the deputy manager who seized the opportunity to be promoted will be delighted. The surviving general manager-level snorts at the thought of becoming an executive. It’s probably in a festive mood right now.”
My uncle smiled bitterly and whispered another story.
“You are not too late to walk the tightrope yet. Coax Miracle well and draw a big picture. It is not impossible to split Sunyang Group into two if you and I give up our greed.”
“I’ll think about it until I get a little older. Being young is a handicap in management.”
“I can’t wait that long. I can change my mind anytime.”
“Remember. uncle. Hehe.”
As I was about to leave with a smile, the door opened and a loud sound came out.
“Motivation! What are you doing with him?”
“Oh mother.”
My uncle jumped up in surprise at the sudden appearance of his grandmother.
The moment I saw her, I got irritated, but I couldn’t sit by myself, so I slowly got up and my grandmother shouted at me.
“Are you not even saying hello to this grandmother?”
I kept my mouth shut and just lowered my head lightly.
“That’s that…”
My grandmother raised her eyes at my disrespectful appearance, and my uncle gave me a glance and stopped her.
“mother. Please sit down. There is nothing to be angry about, so calm down.”
There was no reason to hesitate and notice, so I bowed my head to my uncle and got out.
I put my grandmother’s burning eyes in my heart as she glared at me as I came out.
Suddenly, I took out my cell phone because I wanted to see my grandfather.
“I’m going to Gunsan. now! Get ready.”
* * *
“Why is it suddenly Gunsan?”
“Sangmu-nim, you haven’t been to the grave yourself yet, have you? You don’t know when you’ll be leaving, so I’ll make room for you.”
Managing Director Woo Byeong-jun smiled slightly.
“Is it just because of that?”
“You mean you don’t believe me right now…?”
“of course. Hehe.”
In the moving car, we smiled at each other.
“Well… I think there will be something I need to ask for forgiveness, so I’m going to apologize in advance, but the main purpose is because of the managing director.”
Suddenly, the smile disappeared from Wu’s face.
“Is it because of Mrs. Lee Pil-ok?”
No one will be able to follow this guy.
“Is there any progress on what you ordered?”
“yes. Even if it wasn’t, I wanted to report it. I waited because the board seemed hectic.”
“It is not clean.”
“yes. However, we do not have the level of evidence you would like. I’ve heard the general situation from those bottom bastards, but they won’t testify.”
“If you handled the work neatly, there would be a magic toolchi?”
Director Woo Byeong-jun hesitated a little. It’s an attitude that lets you guess who it is.
“You’re like the manager.”
“yes. This is a person who has worked by Mrs. Lee’s side for a very long time. He was known for his good work.”
“Then, won’t something come out if you stab the person who worked under him?”
Woo Byeong-jun shook his head briefly and spoke to the employee sitting in the driver’s seat.
“hey. What will you do if someone approaches you?”
The assistant seat attendant said without looking back.
“I will pretend to be fooled until I can ascertain who sent it and what the purpose is.”
“and?”
“When it is difficult for me to handle it, I report it to the managing director.”
“What if I seduce you with billions of dollars?”
“Aigoo, why are you doing that? I want to live a long time.”
Director Woo Byeong-jun said to me.
“It is the same over there. A hasty approach ruins everything.”
Billions, not billions. And even if they approached it with a clue that it was guaranteed safety, would such an answer come out?
Oh right.
It was the guy who killed me.
“We are a bit stupid. But I’m not stupid enough to cross the rice cake that I can’t swallow.”
The guy who killed me is the guy who refused hundreds of billions.
Each person is different like this. Let go of the idea that money can buy everything.
“Well… let’s find a way. No matter how strong a castle wall is, there must be at least one hole in it, right?”
The car quickly ran toward Gunsan.
Woo Byeong-jun’s eyes changed when he saw the Sunyang Museum.
Surely this nobleman won’t be crying out loud?
I got out of the car and walked to a sunny park behind the museum and stopped.
“Sir, go upstairs first. I’ll have a cup of coffee and follow you slowly.”
Director Wu hesitated and lowered his head.
“Thank you for your consideration.”
After Director Woo quickly disappeared, we drank coffee at the cafe at the entrance of the museum.
After about thirty minutes, I left the cafe.
When I arrived at my grandfather’s grave, Woo Byeong-jun, managing director, was pulling weeds around the mound by hand. with puffy eyes.
I greeted my grandfather and slowly opened my mouth.
“The promise was broken. But that doesn’t mean she hasn’t forgiven her for her past mistakes. I have no choice but to make a choice not for the past, but for my future.”
Woo Byung-jun, managing director, slowly came to my side and said,
“Can you tell me which option you will choose?”
“I have to send my grandmother back to her Swiss villa. I plan to take care of my old age so that I can live there without doing anything and just breathing.”
Woo Byung-jun lightly nodded his head.
“It’s the kind of comfortable old age that most people dream of. I don’t think it’s something to ask for forgiveness from the president.”
We smiled at each other again.
