Chapter 348
Episode 348
Lee Se-hee declares a direct confrontation with Choi Jun-ho, but Lee Se-hee knows that her wish will not come true as she wants.
The chaebol world is a world where you have to gain everything or lose everything.
What would you do if you just had a lot of money?
Only when you take control of a group can you utilize the infrastructure that the group has laid down over generations, and that becomes power.
That is why members of conglomerates who have been pushed out of the core of the group become ordinary people and disappear.
“I’m foolish too.”
From that perspective, Choi Jun-ho was one of the best players.
Sonsok, who has far surpassed the level of being the world’s strongest and most radical, can provide a clear warning to those who try to respond to the other side.
Nevertheless, the reason he made such a request was because he thought it was a golden opportunity to show off his abilities.
What if Choi Jun-ho shows control of the entire group without using his power?
It was a demonstration of his ability to be perfectly suited as the next president.
However, Lee Se-hee’s idea came to an end before it could be put into practice.
“…Are you my brother?”
“Yes, I have some bad news to tell you.”
“….”
Lee Young-tan, who had recently become the head of the operations team after being separated from the deputy head of the operations management team, informed of Lee Se-chan’s death.
“no. The team leader simply brought news. “Wait a minute. Just a minute.”
Lee Se-hee’s accident unfolded at a rapid pace as she held her head. Lee Young-tan said that Lee Se-chan’s cause of death was a heart attack, but he died at an unfortunate time.
Is Choi Jun-ho the culprit?
Even though there was no evidence, it was even weirder for him to say no.
“I even asked for it myself…”
I even started to feel a little resentful because I felt like I didn’t trust him.
Youngtan Lee’s report did not end there.
“I have more important news than that.”
“What is it?”
“The chairman called the team leader.”
“Father? How…”
“I also only received the news, so I don’t know the details. However, the chief secretary told us to hurry up, so I don’t think the time allowed will be long.”
“I’ll go right away.”
Instinctively, I felt that this call might be our last meeting.
“Can I go too?”
“uh?”
A figure entered the voice department office as if seeping into it. The identity of the person who suddenly broke in was Jeong Da-hyeon.
“It’s not too late.”
“Dahyun, you?”
“I’ll go with you too.”
“I’ll just accept favors. “This is a group thing.”
“I know. But this time, Sehee, you have to follow what I say.”
“why?”
“Your condition is not good right now. It’s not easy to keep your cool with your father’s work, isn’t it? I’ll focus on your escort, so don’t worry about anything else and just focus on making the decision that’s best for you. “I won’t accept any disagreement.”
“….”
Lee Se-hee, who was trying to refute Jeong Da-hyun’s words, realized that she was losing her cool.
Is it because of greed or because of concerns about family?
‘It’s everything.’
You must be able to reflect on your situation to avoid making mistakes.
Because human resources are limited. Unlike usual, it was not easy to make a perfect judgment because the surrounding environment was tough, both internally and externally.
Dahyun Jeong accurately understood her condition. Only then did he realize that what he had jumped into was a request for himself.
“thank you.”
“I’m glad I can use it at times like this. “Don’t worry, let’s aim for the best, Sehee.”
“huh.”
Lee Se-hee, who accepted Jeong Da-hyun’s suggestion, recovered her original expression and spoke to Lee Young-tan.
“Please pass this on to the Chief Secretary. “I’m going to see my father now.”
* * *
What Lee Se-hee saw as she headed to Shinsung Hospital with Jeong Da-hyun were people she had never expected.
The CEOs of Shinsung Group were all leaving the hospital with dark expressions.
These are the people who were at the peak of their momentum not long ago.
Foolish people who tried to gain as much as possible by going against themselves.
The reason Lee Se-hee thought this way is simple.
No matter how greedy they are, as long as Choi Jun-ho’s patience runs out, they will disappear like bubbles.
And Choi Jun-ho’s patience is very short.
As they were leaving the hospital with shadowed faces, they were shocked and furious when they encountered Lee Se-hee.
“I’m afraid of you.”
The calm voice of Jeong Da-hyun, who was next to her, pierced Lee Se-hee’s ears.
“me? why?”
These are the people who stood on the other side and tried to fight back just a short while ago?
“I don’t know. “If you are the chairman, you probably know the answer.”
“….”
Certainly, the only person that people who claim to be afraid is their father, Lee Yeong-moon.
What on earth did they say that made the bosses look like that?
Lee Se-hee, who entered the hospital room, was able to find Lee Young-moon, who seemed to be in much better condition than she expected.
“Welcome.”
“Are you okay? How is your condition?”
“It’s not okay at all. “I’m just holding on to the burnt-out wick somehow.”
“….”
Lee Se-hee, completely caught off guard, opened her mouth. When Lee Young-moon saw that, a small smile appeared on his lips. Lee Se-hee’s eyes widened as she saw a smile for the first time in her life.
But when our eyes met, that smile quickly disappeared.
Lee Young-moon saw Jeong Da-hyeon standing next to Lee Se-hee and thanked her.
“Thank you for coming here.”
“I’m sorry for coming to you without warning, Chairman.”
“I know you came for Sehee. When you see that Sehee has a friend who will help her when times are difficult, you can see that Sehee is blessed. “Thank you again.”
Dahyun Jeong smiled instead of answering, and Youngmoon Lee also turned his head to Sehee Lee and started talking in earnest.
“The reason I called you was to let you know that I intend to finish it with my own hands.”
“Chairman, I…”
“Call me father. “I don’t want to be called chairman until the last moment.”
“Your father. But I…”
“Stop.”
Lee Young-moon raised his hand to interrupt Lee Se-hee.
“I know what you’re thinking. “You want to show off your abilities, get recognition from everyone, and become president.”
After all, you know your own thoughts well. However, Lee Young-moon spoke with a stern expression.
“But that thought was wrong.”
“yes?”
“You have already shown your capabilities. Nevertheless, being on the other side means that he based his personal feelings on you for his own benefit. That is not a trait that can be reversed no matter what you show. “What you need now should not be constant efforts to gain recognition, but a movement to solidify your power.”
“….”
“I also received help from your grandfather when I was inexperienced. There is no reason to be ashamed of getting help. It is a change in the ownership of the kingdom. The process of power transfer is bound to be accompanied by noise, and all kinds of unexpected problems are bound to arise. In the process, what you should be thinking about is not showing off your abilities, but taking care not to waste the group’s resources unnecessarily.”
“sorry. “I didn’t even think about it that far.”
Youngmun Lee shook his head.
“You are doing much better than I expected. “I’m doing better than when I was younger.”
“father.”
“Now my time is over and your time is coming.”
“….”
“I will take responsibility for organizing the leadership team. I think there are people who think I’m going to die soon and are holding on, but they are the people who worked under me. There is no need to leave behind people who will cause you trouble forever. And may I ask you to sit down for a moment?”
“Yes, please feel free to talk.”
Jeong Da-hyeon, who had been standing next to him until then, quietly left the place.
“Sending Se-chan was also under my instructions.”
“But you…”
“I killed my child with my own hands. He will resent me for the rest of his life in the afterlife. Still, I have no regrets. “It is not befitting of a crown prince to be used by others while unable to live or die.”
“….”
Lee Se-hee was startled by the cold words. If you think about it, this decision was the judgment and action that suited Lee Young-moon best.
It was a defeat for Lee Se-hee, who thought she wouldn’t be able to take action because Lee Young-moon was down.
No, that is also an illusion. Because Lee Young-moon just removed the obstacle that was in his way.
“Even if I do my best, there will be remnants left. “How to organize it is the task that remains for you.”
“I’ll do my best.”
“Okay, I don’t believe you. “Don’t let Dahyun lose you in terms of dating or skills.”
“Ah…”
Lee Se-hee sighed at the faint smile filled with faith.
The weak appearance of her father, who had never shown a warm side to his children in his life, shook her heart. I wanted to say something, but my throat was locked and it wasn’t easy to get the words out.
Chairman Lee Young-moon’s smile deepened when he saw that.
“I am still a happy president and father.”
Some time after that.
Lee Young-moon passed away quietly in front of the medical staff and Lee Se-hee’s secretarial staff.
* * *
Chairman Lee Young-moon’s death filled the Republic of Korea with uproar.
The noise was louder than that of any politician or superhuman, and it made us aware of the position of the Shinsung Group Chairman.
The news was already full of stories about the future of Shinsung Group.
In this situation, the focus was on the existence of Lee Se-hee, who was likely to be inaugurated as the next president.
The entire country was already in excitement thanks to the presence of a 20-year-old president who was not yet 30 years old.
Meanwhile, the good news is that no one is interested in Lee Se-chan’s death.
“I believe that my brother killed them all.”
“Who is spreading such false information?”
“Spreading rumors is not important. “It’s an idea that naturally comes to everyone’s mind.”
“….”
There wasn’t as much to refute as I thought it was a natural perception rather than a false and inciting fabrication.
“I am not.”
“Other people wouldn’t think that way. It’s just that. “I’m not the only one who thinks that way.”
[Give up. It seems like people already think that if something happens, it’s all your fault. And if you think about it, you are the one who killed him.]
That’s true, but I didn’t really like people’s natural perception.
[Still, killing others is a big crime for humans, but isn’t the situation better because you are not subject to that standard?] I
don’t want to like you because of that.
[I’m just saying that.]
“Anyway, our chairman is also amazing. “I thought it would take time for Sehee to take control of the group, but seeing as she did it all.”
“But I got rid of all the distractions.”
“huh. But little difficult things remain. “It’s a small thing to say, but this won’t be easy.”
“Isn’t it difficult?”
“There are quite a few problems, including tax issues and stocks.”
At the time when Lee Young-moon directly controlled traffic and Lee Se-chan also died, Lee Se-hee had legitimacy, but that was only a symbolic part, and there was a lot of work to be done in the Korean system.
In particular, the issue of control of the holding company is important.
“If we don’t take control of this place, we will continue to be checked.”
Yoonhee, who has become an expert on Shinsung Group without me knowing, talks about various things… To be honest, I couldn’t understand what was being said at all.
“You will take care of it.”
“Well, someone is indifferently helping me, but that’s about as much as a check.”
He lightly shrugged his shoulders at the meaningful look.
I just collected stocks because I thought they would be useful to me.
The rest was a matter that would depend on what kind of abilities Lee Se-hee showed.
“You won’t have to worry.”
“How can you be sure?”
“These are people whose obsession with what they have goes beyond imagination. There is no way that no one can be prepared for it.”
* * *
Lee Se-hee was so busy preparing to take on the position of group president that she didn’t have time to look.
Although I helped and Chairman Lee Young-moon helped until the end, there are still doubts about Lee Se-hee.
Above all, the period in which Lee Se-hee became successor was too short.
Due to the nature of Korea, succession preparations for conglomerates took a long time.
Among them, Lee Se-hee’s personal share was received as a weakness.
If you do not properly defend yourself, your management rights may be taken away.
[Systems are strange.]
Yongyong can be seen as not understanding the human perspective, but I actually had similar thoughts.
However, there was no major concern.
This is because I believe that as much as I have done well, I will do well on my own.
Even if a problem arises, I can help you.
Money isn’t everything in this world, but it can solve a lot of things.
In the end, money is the problem, but if it’s not possible, I can lend it to solve it.
[Money is really good.]
“Good.”
But my worries turned out to be nothing.
Lee Se-hee acquired a significant amount of Shinsung Bio stocks that had fallen more than necessary due to the death of Lee Se-chan and Lee Young-moon.
As a result, even the slightest sense of anxiety was alleviated, and the perfect Lee Se-hee system was established.
Even his father’s death became a means of gaining power.
People clicked their tongues when they saw that, but I thought differently.
“I just need to achieve my goal, so what’s the big deal?”
[I know.]
