chapter 18
[Episode 18] The S CEO
Moon Jae-shin was really angry and went to the top of his head.
However, with young Si-woo Lee and his cherished subordinate Jin Jun-sik standing in front of him, he just endures it.
Problems can arise at any time.
When people and people work together, how can there be no problems?
But I never really dreamed that it would cause such a problem on the first day.
“Director Jin, call Gong.”
“Yes, sir.”
While Jin Jun-sik was calling Gong Tae-shik, Moon Jae-shin made another call.
“where are you?”
[This is the office, bro.]
“I’ll send you the address, so come over there.”
[…] Is there anything?]
“Director Gong made an accident very well.”
[yes? Oh, I see. I’m leaving right now, brother.]
The person Moon Jae-shin spoke to now was the CEO of The S.
Moon Jae-shin and he were like ‘brother, brother’.
We have been doing business for a long time, and the CEO of The S was a trustworthy person.
Moon Jae-shin hung up the phone and looked at Jin Jun-sik.
“I’ll be right there, sir.”
“Listen to Gong’s excuse, CEO Lee.”
It was crazy not to look.
Unless there was evidence, it was clear that Gong Tae-shik would lie, saying he never said such a thing until the end.
After about 30 minutes, Gong Tae-sik entered the junkyard with a proud step.
“Director Jin, I’m here.”
Gong Tae-shik brazenly greeted him as if he had even laid an iron plate on his face.
When Jin Jun-sik stepped aside a little, he was able to face Moon Jae-shin, who was sitting in his seat with a calm expression.
“Daddy, sir… … .”
“It’s been a while, Manager Gong.”
“You must be busy, so why… … .”
“Hmm, why? Why am I here?”
Tae-sik Gong thought that if only Jun-sik Jin was able to persuade him somehow, he would have a chance to win.
But I never thought that Moon Jae-shin would appear.
“Mom, I don’t know.”
“Wait a minute.”
“I don’t know what you heard from that young representative, but I never know.”
If the head is bad, the body suffers.
When a person who is not clever pretends to be clever, it gets worse.
Moon Jae-shin raised an eyebrow.
He hadn’t even said that he had heard anything from Siwoo Lee yet.
However, Gong Tae-sik strongly denied it with an anxious expression.
‘I bet you never thought that the CEO of Myeongsancheol would come.’
After a while, a middle-aged man in casual clothes entered the junkyard.
Then I went straight to the office.
He was Kim In-sik, the CEO of The S.
“Brother, what’s going on?”
“Before that, I have to say hello to CEO Nuri.”
“Oh, how are you? My name is Insik Kim, the representative of The S.”
Kim In-sik handed Si-woo Lee a business card and said.
Siwoo Lee received the business card and bowed his head.
“My name is Siwoo Lee, the CEO of Nuri Recycling.”
“Well, we came here because our manager Gong had an accident, but may I ask what’s going on?”
Even if not, Kim In-sik met with Moon Jae-shin a few days ago and had a drink.
How surprised I was to hear that Moon Jae-shin was so excited that he met a young representative he liked.
It had been a long time since such a picky person spoke with such joy.
And when I found out that the young representative was the representative of Nuri Recycling, I thought that I should visit him sometime.
But I didn’t know when it would be so sudden.
“The manager made a suggestion to me. Let’s check in at an authorized weighing station.”
“Yes? Usually, it is not our side to request a weighing from an authorized weighing station, but… … .”
There was no need for unnecessary suspicion.
Most junkyard bosses didn’t trust who they were dealing with.
That’s why he usually worked at the junkyard.
There was rarely a case where there was no weighing station at the site or an authorized weighing station was used unless the junk dealer first requested it.
“They say that if you work at an authorized weighing station, the unit price will be increased by 100 won.
“It’s a lie, sir! I never said that!”
Gong Tae-shik strongly denied Lee Si-woo’s words.
Kim In-sik, who heard the two of them, showed an absurd expression.
“Hey, Manager Gong, why do you think that CEO Lee is telling me things that Manager Gong didn’t even do? What kind of heartbreak do you have?”
“That, that… Anyway, I made a mistake with CEO Lee on the first day. The retaliation for that is clear.”
At that, Kim In-sik tilted his head.
“What mistake did you make?”
“I… I made a remark that was ignoring this representative. But I immediately apologized.”
“Ignore… A person who started this job less than three years ago ignored the CEO of a company?”
“sorry. It’s the first time I’m dealing with a young boss… … .”
I heard from Jae-Shin Moon that Si-Woo Lee’s career is significant.
He added that he had been helping his father as a child and working in a junkyard, and that his age was not formidable.
Second to that fact, no matter how young he was, he was the representative of the junk dealer.
“I was there that day. The representative said that mistakes are okay. He also said that it’s enough if you just get the unit price right, CEO Kim.”
Siwoo Lee wasn’t the only one to retaliate for something like that.
Jin Jun-sik said as if to say something like that.
Kim In-sik asked at his words.
“Director Jin, do you think CEO Lee is the one who will take revenge on someone for this?”
“no. Absolutely not, that is the part I can notarize with certainty.”
Gong Tae-sik bit his lip when he saw Jin Jun-sik shaking his head with a determined expression.
“No, Mr. Jin. As a salesperson, won’t you consider my position?”
In order to find a way to live somehow, he stimulated Jin Jun-sik’s sense of unity by saying that he was a salesperson.
However, Moon Jae-shin, not Jin Jun-sik, responded coldly to his words.
“Director Gong, don’t say that we are the same salesperson. Director Jin is not just a salesperson, but a deputy representative of Myungsan.”
“… … .”
In the absence of the representative, Jae-Shin Moon, the person who has all the decision-making powers of Myeongsan Steel.
Tae-shik Gong and Jun-sik Jin, the only sales managers, could not be tied to the words that they were salespeople.
“Whoa, you really make mistakes without stopping. Brother, I’m sorry. And Director Jin, I’m sorry. And I’m really sorry to CEO Lee Si-woo as well. It is all my fault.”
Although there was no evidence, it was difficult to believe that Siwoo Lee was lying under the circumstances.
Even if not, Kim In-Sik knew that Gong Tae-Sik started the business day and the complaints from the other company suddenly increased.
Still, I tried to hug him, thinking that we were in the same family.
But today, Gong Tae-sik crossed the line.
“Sir, I’m really sorry.”
“Shut your mouth. Shall I visit the companies that Gong has been dealing with? Do you go to each exchange and look through the books?”
“that… … .”
“Yeah, everything is fine. I have to have some money to take with me while doing business, so I can close my eyes. No matter what, you have to run as fast as you can.”
Kim In-sik clicked his tongue.
Even if you touch it, is it Siwoo Lee, the representative of Nuri Recycling?
It was Moon Jae-shin who happily said that he wanted Si-woo Lee to grow up and become a great representative.
He also said that he would like to have a good relationship with his son.
“president… … .”
“Are you trying to ignore a representative of a company, and even make it a lie?”
“I am embarrassed.”
“I’m going to take it all the way, right? Okay.”
Kim In-sik had an angry expression on his face.
At that time, a forklift truck came into the junkyard.
It was a tong truck that took things earlier.
The driver roughly parked the car in the yard and hurriedly got out of the driver’s seat.
He entered the office and bowed his head.
“Did you call, sir?”
“Kim, how long have you been with me?”
“It must have been about seven years.”
“But why?”
“Yes?”
“I understand. I know that my mother is sick and needs money. Even so, you can’t get away with things by holding hands with a study center that is only three years old.”
It was not something that Gong Tae-shik could do alone.
In this situation, there was only one person who could steal the goods with Gong Tae-shik.
Kim In-sik’s cold voice changed the knight’s expression pale.
“Chief Kim, please speak properly. Did I steal something?”
At that moment, Gong Tae-shik interrupted the conversation with an urgent voice.
The knight was an accomplice, holding hands with him and stealing things together.
He too had to make a claim consistent with himself in order to maintain his position.
“I promise. If you tell me properly, I’ll make sure you don’t do any harm to this matter, Knight Kim.”
“… … .”
“Are you going to take the side of the person who has suffered with you for 7 years, or will you take the side of the person who has been with you for only 3 years?”
In the end, Knight Kim bowed his head and said.
“I’m sorry, sir.”
“I understand everything. Because I’ve been busy with work and I haven’t been able to pay attention to Kim.”
“I was just trying to tell you. I am sorry that I deceived the CEO and caused great damage.”
“Kim’s lies a lot when he tells a lie. Your face is dark, was it because of this?”
“Sorry for deceiving you.”
The knight bowed his back 90 degrees.
In the meantime, he has suffered countless times while committing things that prick his conscience.
Should I tell Kim In-sik about this or not?
Even if it wasn’t, Tae-sik Gong threatened the knight Kim, who had cheated with him.
“It was like that, Director Gong. The moment this fact becomes known, I will also be harmed… Even if I talked to the CEO, he blamed everything on me and said that he would just leave.”
“Ha, I picked up a black-headed beast.”
Gong Tae-shik’s expression hardened at the honest story of the knight.
“It’s a lie! Knight Kim lied and turned it all over to me… … .”
“Shut up, you bastard! So you should have been honest when you gave it a chance! How much more shameful are you trying to do with the two trading representatives!”
“president!”
“shut up! Whoo… President Lee, did this person make any more mistakes?”
Jin Jun-sik came forward instead of Lee Si-woo to that question.
Then, he shared the story he had heard from Si-woo Lee to In-sik Kim.
They said that they treated the CEO as if they were a subordinate, or that they watched while holding their backs.
Kim In-sik closed his eyes tightly.
I made too many mistakes at once.
“I have nothing more to say other than that I am really sorry to CEO Lee.”
“I just wanted to say that once this transaction is over, it will be difficult to maintain it.”
“I fully understand. Whoa, you probably don’t want to continue trading after going through this. But can’t you give me one more chance?”
In fact, it was not that Gong Tae-sik was sent, but Kim In-sik should have come.
However, the CEO had a lot of work to do, and he couldn’t handle everything.
“… Let me think about it.”
“thank you. I apologize again for showing you this.”
“I’m sorry that I thought I was rude to the CEO by raising my job for nothing.”
“no.”
Kim In-sik shook his head strongly.
Rather, Siwoo Lee deserved thanks.
Thanks to that, we caught the thief that corroded the company.
“As a representative of the company, I am grateful. First of all, let’s go first because we seem to be interfering with our business. I will come back tomorrow and apologize properly.”
“You don’t have to.”
“no. Trust between companies is very important. Moreover, we cannot pass without an apology since we made a big mistake on our side.”
