Son of a Conglomerate at the Highest Level

＜ Let’s pass it quickly (2) ＞

President Sim summoned the plant manager and several foremen to gather the workers who had left for work in the empty lot.

Employees who had been working hard even during the New Year’s holiday began to gather in the empty lot without knowing why.

“What is all this about?”

“It’s not even assembly time on weekday mornings, but they all of a sudden ask everyone to gather. It’s weird.”

“There was a rumor that Taesung Chemical was passing over. Maybe because of that?”

“Restructuring? Are we getting fired?”

Taesung Chemical employees could not hide their anxious expressions.

Everyone looked at them and walked hesitantly.

Sim heard the loudspeaker.

“Ahh! Notice to the Taesung Chemical family! I am Shim Won-cheol, the president of Taesung Chemical! The reason I told you to urgently gather today is to convey the will of the president!”

The murmur grew louder at the president’s voice.

“In the interest of time, I will briefly tell you the main point! We have decided to hand over Taesung Chemical to Wookwang soon!”

Sighs mingled with various emotions erupted here and there.

Someone let out a long shot, someone let out a sigh of resignation, and someone burst out in bewilderment.

“Aren’t you more curious about whether you will be fired from your job, whether you will receive a salary, or whether you will receive severance pay, rather than talking about acquisitions or shares?”

At Shim’s words, the whispers grew louder and louder.

Their livelihood was at stake, and their future was at stake.

It was because the throat was grape juice, and if I became unemployed, it would be difficult to make a living right away.

“Taesung doesn’t easily abandon his family! Even if the company Taesung Chemical is handed over to Woo-gwang, Tae-seong’s family should embrace Tae-seong!”

The muffled voice suddenly stopped.

Everyone focused like people holding onto a string of hope.

“Taesung Construction is looking for your help!”

“Taesung Construction!”

“Everyone, Taesung Construction has changed dramatically these days! As the former president and executives resigned all at once, the executives of Taesung Chemical moved to that direction!”

“ah!”

“Not only that! Taesung Construction won several major national projects this time! We, Taesung Construction, are in charge of the construction of subway line 2!”

“oh!”

“Taesung also does the Gangnam Seoul Express Bus Terminal and shopping mall construction! We will build cities, lay roads and build apartments in the Middle East!”

Sim shouted loudly into the loudspeaker.

As President Sim’s voice grew louder, the faces of Taesung Chemical’s employees brightened.

“The CEO of Taesung Construction promised something! A home support policy for Taesung Construction employees!”

It was another item I asked President Shim to ask.

“He said he would secure a separate sale for Taeseong’s family who wish to move into Taeseong’s apartment!”

My father decided to resume the construction of the apartment, which the former president and executives of Taesung Construction had abandoned without my knowledge.

Taesung Apartments will be built in Samseong-dong and Banpo-dong.

I left a pretty good place as an apartment site.

“You also said that you plan to use an in-house loan to finance an apartment loan!”

It was a time when the threshold for banking was high.

It was also a time when institutional finance was not fulfilling its role and private debt was widespread.

So, everyone knows that there is a boom in Gangnam apartment sales, but I couldn’t buy an apartment because I didn’t have enough cash.

Coincidentally, my father set aside the sale of apartments and even supported in-house loans.

Everyone couldn’t help but be happy.

“apartment! apartment!”

“Taesung Construction! Taesung Construction!”

Sim laughed and shouted loudly.

“You can enjoy all the benefits supported by Taesung Chemical at Taesung Construction!”

“great!”

“one more! He promised to acknowledge his career and salary level at Taesung Chemical!”

“Wow!”

“Another one! Heavy equipment training is also provided free of charge! Folks, technology is your competitive edge! Even if you have just one heavy equipment license, you won’t go hungry anywhere!”

“you’re right!”

Taesung Chemical employees cheered.

“If anyone wants to stay at Taesung Chemical and work with Woo Kwang, do as you wish! However, if you want to move to Taesung Engineering & Construction and remain a member of Taesung’s family, please write your name on the document here!”

Shim picked up the paper and waved it.

It was a letter of resignation made briefly while the employees of Taesung Chemical gathered in the vacant lot.

“Taesung believes in you! Taesung is with you! Whether it is Taesung Chemical or Taesung Construction, it is no different! Trust Taesung and be with us!”

“I believe!”

“I will follow you!”

“I will go with you until the end!”

Taesung Chemical employees blew whistles and cheered loudly.

The enthusiastic response of the employees made the factory go wild.

Looking down at the happy people, President Shim smiled heartily.

“Come on, let’s hurry! If you hesitate, you may regret it after hitting the ground because there is no place at Taesung Construction!”

Taesung Chemical workers rushed in and wrote their names on the documents.

They were people who wanted to move to Taesung Construction.

At the tables lined up next to the podium, the foremen helped fill out the paperwork.

President Shim came down from the podium and walked towards me.

“This relieved my worries for an hour. I thought the young master would be more than happy, but is there something bothering you?”

I couldn’t answer easily.

It was because the more I looked around the factory, the more my heart sank like mud.

The grim reaper glanced at me and cleared his throat.

[Kuhmm, isn’t it too bad to look at? Shall I erase the road?]

When I asked the grim reaper if he could see anyone who would be hurt in the Taesung chemical fire accident, he said he had put orange arrows above people’s heads.

There were more than a hundred orange arrows floating around at a rough count, but there was no way they wouldn’t get confused.

‘Chemicals are not left unattended, and safety rules are strictly followed.’

The factory was running well systematically and stably.

It was proof that President Shim of Taesung Chemical was meticulously managing it.

“President Shim, all of our 4th factory’s 1st working team agreed to the transfer and signed and sealed it.”

A man in his 30s wearing a work jumper supplied by Taesung Chemical handed over a thick bundle of documents.

“As expected, it’s class president Kim. The work group you lead is fast.”

Sim smiled in satisfaction.

“Did the entire work team come out? Everyone is excited about the holidays.”

“Isn’t the holiday allowance generous? Everyone came out to make even a penny more.”

“How is your daughter? Is there a road?”

“Thanks to President Shim, I benefited greatly from the in-house medical insurance, but hey, the surgery must be scheduled soon. It is difficult.”

His jumper had a name tag studded with overlock.

＜Kim Gab-yong＞

It was the same man whose name was put on the statement that Mr. Cheol-gu had written down.

The reason why Mr. Cheol-gu paid attention to Kim Gab-yong was as follows.

-First, the fact that he contacted the deceased Wookwang Construction Kim Gwang-pil several times without being acquainted.

-Second, that he had a private meeting with the director of Woo-gwang Hospital through the arrangement of Kim Gwang-pil.

-Third, the fact that I was in a corner because of the hospital bills to the extent that I had to use bank loans and private bonds.

-Fourth, the fact that Taesung Life Insurance had a huge amount of life insurance and did not cancel it.

This was the reason why Mr. Cheolgu smelled the impure molecule.

‘But why is the countdown to the Nether Road floating above that person’s head?’

The letters written clearly above his head were [10 days].

So I was puzzled.

‘Usually, the person who caused the accident will get out of the scene. Did Mr. Cheolgu make a mistake?’

Come to think of it, Mr. Cheol-gu said that two questions were unanswered.

-First, there is no name of Kim Gap-yong in the bribe ledger of the dead Kim Gwang-pil.

-Second, that Kim Gab-yong moved to Woo-gwang Hospital and did not operate on his daughter.

One more question was added to it.

-Third, the countdown to Hwangcheon-gil flashes above Kim Gap-yong’s head.

Kim Gap-yong looked at me and tilted his head.

“Sir, who is this child? Are you my nephew?”

“I am Chairman Cha’s grandson. He said he wanted to tour the Taeseong Chemical Plant, so I brought him.”

“Hoe, the president’s grandson?”

Kim Gab-yong widened his eyes.

“Hmm, it’s a factory tour. There are many dangerous things in the factory, so don’t touch anything. You can’t just run around or hide by playing hide and seek. also······.”

Do I have to listen to nagging even though I came with President Shim?

If I had known this would happen, I would have brought Secretary Kim.

When I looked up at President Shim with disapproving eyes, President Shim cleared his throat.

“Captain Kim, I have no intention of asking you to guide the young master to the factory. I’ll take care of the young master, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

“Ah, yes. It felt like I was looking at my daughter, so I did it reflexively without even realizing it… I am sorry for this.”

Kim Gab-yong scratched the back of his head and laughed innocently.

Looking at his innocent smile, I suddenly had a question.

‘This person brings me benefits?’

If there was a fire accident at Taesung Chemical, Taeseong would face a huge disadvantage.

In the pit where Mr. Cheolgu had few, it was not the color of sh*t, but golden.

So I have no choice but to be puzzled.

“President Shim, what kind of person is Captain Kim?”

“Diligent, responsible, trustworthy, loyal, good at work, meticulous, and taking good care of colleagues. He is a proud worker of Taesung who does more than his share wherever he goes.”

President Shim’s evaluation is generous.

Hearing such compliments face to face, Captain Kim was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

It was clear that he didn’t know what to do with his body, but the corners of his mouth that went up didn’t know how to come down.

“As much as you trust me, I will continue to work harder for Taesung!”

Kim Gab-yong shouted loudly.

I took off my gloves and held out my bare hands.

“Please take care of me.”

“Yes, Bocchan. I wish you well too!”

Kim Gab-yong also took off his dirty work gloves and held my hand.

In an instant, my eyes flashed blue.

‘uh?’

It was something I had experienced before.

On the day he was discharged from the hospital, he touched Wookwang Construction’s bribe ledger in Mr. Cheol-gu’s jeep.

I glimpsed the future of Mr. Cheol-gu, who was taken to the water torture room at Seobing High School and was interrogated.

* * *

This is where the blue light shines.

A distinctive smell of disinfectant wafted everywhere, and a person in a nurse’s uniform passed through the hallway.

I realized where this is.

‘Taesung Hospital!’

Kim Gab-yong begged the doctor.

“I will pay for the hospital bill somehow. So please don’t just tell me to leave the hospital like this.”

“Let’s start by paying the overdue hospital bills at the hospital administration department and then talk about it.”

The doctor turned his back and walked away, and Kim Gap-yong quickly caught up.

“This month’s salary will include holiday pay and overtime pay, so it will come out quite a lot. So please, just wait till then…”

“Looks like you’ve seen enough of the situation so far. It’s already been overdue by close to a million won.”

His words became as fast as Kim Gap-yong’s steps.

“I will use more loans, so please don’t stop treating me. My child is very sick.”

“I don’t know whether to use a bond, take out a loan, or advance a paycheck.”

The doctor resolutely shook Kim Gab-yong’s hand that was holding the hem of his gown.

“All I know is that you have to pay the hospital bills to continue treatment, and if you can’t pay the hospital bills, you have to move out of the room. That is the basic principle of our hospital.”

“teacher!”

“Isn’t the hospital a place for volunteers?”

The strength in Kim Gab-yong’s hands was released.

It was because I knew that the doctor was right every word of it.

But even knowing that, he had no choice but to cling to it once more.

“Does that mean you have to give up your life? He said that Taeseong is one family. I work at Taesung too!”

“That’s what the Department of Management said. I have another treatment, so I’m off.”

The doctor went down the stairs without looking back.

Kim Gab-yong also closed his eyes and leaned against the hospital hallway.

His face was distorted with despair and resignation.

“Damn it!”

There was a man who walked up to Kim Gab-yong.

“Hey, from what I hear, this month’s salary includes holiday pay and overtime pay, which is quite a lot? Why are you reporting it to the doctor and not me?”

I recognized who he was at once.

‘Bulgwang-dong Gasoline! Why is he here?’

He was a moneylender known for his vicious and irritating squeezes.

That guy used to cling to the leeches of Namsan Mountain and squeeze the blood of people who hadn’t had them for a lifetime.
