Chapter 164. Crushed by misfortune (3)
MH Future Security & MH Distribution headquarters building.
The Chief Financial Officer, Joo Ho-yeon, went down to the first-floor lobby. At the information desk, Baek Joo-seon, who used to work with the accounting firm Kwangho, was present.
"What brings you here at this time?""In response to such a question, Baek Joo-seon smiled."
"Why? I came because I had time." No matter how busy you are, you can still have a cup of coffee, right?"Baek Joo-seon's finger pointed to the cafe in the corner of the first-floor lobby."
Joo Ho-yeon smiled just like her.
"You can come up to my office.""I have something to say to my senior." It's a bit awkward there."What do you mean?""Joo Ho-yeon, tilting his head, went to the café with Baek Joo-seon, ordered coffee, and then sat down."
She was quiet until the coffee came out. Then, at the alarm that the coffee was ready, Baek Joo-seon got up first and brought the coffee.
Juhoyeon looked at that scene with a strange expression.
"Why are you acting like this today?" Is something bad happening?"After a moment of hesitation at the question that revealed concern, Baek Joo-seon spoke."
"It's not anything else... I was just wondering how it would be to work with you, senior.""Baek Joo-seon was a senior manager at the accounting firm Kwangho, who was second only to Joo Ho-yeon in terms of attention." It was expected that if I worked like this, I would rise to the director position in a few years.
It was hard not to be surprised, knowing that she had aimed to become a director.
"Huh?" With me? Are you saying you want to join MH Future Security?"I was just wondering what you think, senior."The opinion was cautious.
However, Joo Ho-yeon stared at her with a meaningful expression.
"You usually don't discuss things like this."”
"Huh?" What?"You always make decisions first and then take action.""That's my senior.""No." You are faster than me. I at least give a heads up."Woo woo woo— woo woo woo—
At that moment, Joo Ho-yeon's phone, which was placed on the table, rang." The name of Lim Yu-gwang, the representative of the accounting firm Gwangho, was displayed on the screen.
Joo Ho-yeon could easily guess the reason he was calling.
"...Ah, you can't be... have you already submitted your resignation?"The vibration continued to ring out during that time.
"A decision has been made, so that's all there is to it.""No matter what, that's not right... Just wait and see for now.""Joo Ho-yeon, who pressed the call button, brought the phone to his ear."
[Mr. Joo... No, I should call you Director Joo now, right?You can call me comfortably."Since you have a position, we call you the main director.""But what is the matter?""At that question, Lim Yu-gwang let out a sigh."
[Hoo... This is Baek Joo-seon from SM.] I suddenly submitted my resignation letter.Ah, is that so?It seemed that Lim Yu-gwang had noticed something, perhaps due to the slight pause in the response.
It seems that you are already meeting."...It just happened that way." I just heard about the resignation letter through the representative."There are other senior managers, but Baek SM was a promising talent along with the main director." However, it's quite awkward that they suddenly say they are quitting."That makes sense.""This is because the situation was quite awkward for Juhoyeon."
The resignation letter is still pending, so if it's okay, please persuade them."...I will talk about it once."The call did not take long.
Then Joo Ho-yeon sighed like Lim Yu-gwang did earlier and said to Baek Joo-seon.
"What on earth are you thinking?""I told you earlier." I want to say that I want to work with you, senior."Is that all it takes?""Oh, no way." It's similar to the reason the senior moved. Of course, I'm not asking you to stick it in with a parachute. Since I have formally applied for the job, I hope you can consider me without any prejudice."...Support?"Joo Ho-yeon's finance department has been completely reorganized this time, leaving only the finance division, accounting division, and human resources division, while integrating all management departments."
At the same time, many positions for department heads and deputy heads became vacant, leading to job postings for external experienced candidates as well.
"What you hate the most, senior, is being judged by your connections." I think this is better than seeing each other at the interview site without saying anything."I came after giving it some thought."
"The representative asked you to persuade him.""I have already decided." So that's why I even submitted my resignation letter."What would they say at home?" If you find out that Gwang-ho has quit... you would probably tell him to come back to the company right away.Baek Joo-seon's family ran a trading company called BF International. The current representative, Baek Seung-han, is the older uncle of Baek Joo-sun, and the financial director, Baek Jin-han, is her father.
Because of that background, Joo Ho-yeon thought that Baek Joo-sun would join BF International after graduating from college.
But I was slightly surprised to enter the accounting firm Kwangho, following myself instead of going there.
"So I haven't said anything yet.""When were you planning to say it?""After I stick here...?""What will you do if I don't stick it on for you?""Oh, no way!" Aren't you going to pick me, who was called the next generation ace of Gwang-ho?With a sly question, Joo Ho-yeon sighed as he looked at Baek Joo-seon.
"What should I do...""Just look at me without any prejudice during the interview." And if Dad calls and asks, make sure to cover it up well."Is there really no option for you to say it first?""I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to go back home much." And even if I go, it's just going to be a fuss about showing off."Baek Joo-sun was 34 years old this year." Despite her age, she looks quite good and appears much younger, and her family background is from BF International, so she has not only sufficient conditions but also abundant ones.
Moreover, at Baek Joo-seon's house, his thirty-four-year-old only daughter is not getting married and is only buried in work, so it was impossible not to feel frustrated.
"Anyway, since you said you submitted the application, I will take a look at it.""Thank you~!""I guess I should get back to work now." Now that you've submitted your resignation letter, where are you going?"It's been a while since I've had a break." I should meet up with some friends.Joo Ho-yeon nodded and got up to walk towards the lobby entrance.
At that moment, Shin Woo, Jang Jin-ho, and the bodyguards entered from the entrance.
"Ah, CEO." Hello."Hello." Director Joo Ho-yeon. But what brings you down to the first floor?"This is because I usually have a lot of work to handle in the office and rarely get to go outside."
"A junior colleague who worked with me at Gwangho came to visit.""I see.""Shinwoo had just returned from an inspection of the MH Distribution Center in Gyeonggi Province in the morning." Then, I made eye contact with Baek Joo-seon, who was standing next to Joo Ho-yeon.
"Nice to meet you." My name is Vaccine."Ah...""In the meantime, Baek Joo-seon stared blankly at Shin Woo's face."
"Is there something on my face?""What?" Ah, no. Hello. It's called a hundred... matchmaking. I worked as a senior manager with my senior colleague Joo Ho-yeon at Gwangho."I see." You were a talent like Director Joo. I will go because of work. Let's meet again when we have the chance.After finishing his greetings, Shinwoo passed by the two people and headed towards the elevator.
Baek Joo-seon, who was standing in the middle of the lobby, still had a bewildered expression. So, Joo Ho-yeon tilted his head and asked.
"What's wrong?""Um... is that person really the representative of Vaccine Woo?""That's right." We even greeted each other in person earlier. What's going on?"No... it's just that you look so much like Jong-hoon oppa.""Isn't it that cousin brother, Jeong-hoon?"The last memory that Baek Joo-seon has of her cousin Baek Jeong-hoon was when he had just turned twenty. And the face of Shinwoo that I just saw resembled Baek Jeonghoon so much.
"Yes.""I told you." They say you look quite similar."No, how can they resemble each other so much?""They said it's a common face.""Well, that is...""Quietly murmuring, Baek Joo-sun returned after being seen off by Joo Ho-yeon, still in a daze."

In the meantime, Shinwoo went up to the representative office with Jang Jin-ho. I received a report on the afternoon tasks and matters that need to be approved.
"The schedule for inspecting the regional logistics center will be arranged unexpectedly like this and I will inform you." And tomorrow, the MH Distribution Finance Department, Accounting Department, and Human Resources Department will have scheduled exams and interviews for experienced positions."Director Joo Ho-yeon will be getting busier.""The same goes for you, CEO." The documents that need to be approved by today should have been urgently uploaded to the server. Please check."...That's right."Jang Jin-ho went outside after hearing Shin-woo's answer."
After that, Shinwoo spoke towards the other entrance.
"Now that the urgent business is done, stop being cautious and come in.""Did you see it?"The person who entered through the door was Jang Man-soo.
"You weren't hiding anything while showing your whole head, were you?""Ha ha!" I just thought you seemed busy, so I kept an eye on you."How about Wei's side instead?" Did Anduk-chil catch it?"I actually came to tell you about that." They say the guys are loitering around the FEROX headquarters. I don't know exactly what the target is."At such an explanation, Shinwoo let out a sigh."
"I was wondering why France... it turns out the matter is being traced back to Ecuador.""The only time that Kwak Chi-young could have learned about FEROX was back then."
"There are a total of five people, including Nasun-hwi and Ahn Deok-chil, plus three others." They are all members of the 666th unit. It's still surprising how An Deok-chil got in there."It must be a scout." It's quite different from the killer style they want, but it's not like I don't have the skills."An Deok-chil was not called the guillotine for nothing in the dark world before his regression." If we only consider pure murder talent, it might have been greater than the three villains who fought against Lilian and Wei before.
"If I had known I would fall under Kwak Chi-young, it wouldn't have been bad to handle it neatly back then.""I'm also feeling a bit regretful." But I had to find the ledger first, so there was no other choice."If An Deok-chil was killed at the headquarters of Bae Seong-mul San, there was also a possibility that the credibility of the accounts left by Bae Young-cheol could be distorted into a murder case."
"Anyway, it seems that Wei and Mei are marking.""If we knew the target, we couldn't just take it on ourselves.""Are you trying to convey?""Because that's the easiest way." Thanks to TSF for moving first.Shinwoo took out his phone and was about to call Amber Montgomery, the agent of FEROX.
"France will be in chaos too.""Oh, speaking of which, I saw Baek Joo-seon down there earlier."”
"Huh?" Baek Joo-sun? Who is that?Shinwoo sighed at Jang Mansoo's rhetorical question.
"If you really want to talk about our relationship, it's someone who is a relative." You investigated when you came back here."Ah!" I remembered. Your father's cousin! Isn't it?"The record from when Jang Man-soo investigated previously indicated that Baek Jeong-hoon was processed as an unclaimed body after dying in a traffic accident, as his identity could not be confirmed immediately."
However, Jang Man-soo found another record that had been omitted.
Baek Jeong-hoon had a family, and they learned about the accident situation later and received the body.
As a result, Shinwoo knew from the beginning that there were family members and relatives of Baek Jeong-hoon.
However, since it was unrelated to my goals, I didn't pay any attention to it and went on with my life, but today, seeing Baek Joo-seon brought it back to my mind.
"That's right." I knew that Director Joo Ho-yeon was working with the accounting firm Gwangho, but it seems like they were closer than I thought. I saw them coming out together from the café in the lobby on the first floor earlier."Really?" Shall we dig a little deeper?"What are you doing, parser?" Are you trying to boil some soup to eat?"Nothing has changed even in the current situation." They were just themselves, and Shinwoo was Shinwoo.
"Still, they are your relatives." The big house of a person named Baek Joo-seon is also where your paternal grandfather and grandmother are."There's no need to pretend to know now... It's fine.""Sigh!" Do it as you see fit.Jang Man-soo returned to his office with a sigh.
In the meantime, Shinwoo called Amber Montgomery on the phone he was holding.
