“I wanted to hear an explanation as to what happened.”

After receiving the instructions, Seojun went straight to Kang Seok-ho.

And Kang Seok-ho also showed a calm expression, as if he knew his grandson would come to visit him.

“How did it happen? Didn’t you write it all down in the instructions, Director Kang?”

The contents written in the instructions included instructions to proceed with this project together with Kang San-ho, and the reasons for this were briefly stated.

“For the sake of equality. Please explain what this means.”

“The idea is to show that literally everyone in the company deserves an opportunity.”

“This is my project. I select and select people.”

“It’s also my company’s job.”

Seojun really couldn’t figure out why Kang Seok-ho was suddenly acting like this.

In fact, he must have already known that he was trying to push out Kang San-ho.

Now, I have no idea what it means to suddenly become involved with Kang San-ho like this.

“Vice Chairman Kang San-ho personally submitted a request. He said he would like to participate in this project. He said he wanted to show that he was worthy of being the owner of this company.”

So, since he seemed to be constantly being pushed aside by Seojun, he wanted to prove that he was superior by participating in the same project.

“If you want to compete with me, shouldn’t you just proceed with another project personally?”

“…That’s true, but…”

Kang Seok-ho groaned in discomfort.

“Honestly, I’m nervous about asking people to work on individual projects.”

What kind of nonsense is this old man right in front of my eyes talking about?

The more Seojun heard the explanation, the less he understood it.

“…So, you are saying that the Vice President would feel uneasy if he carried out the project alone, but he wanted to compete with me, so he would use the time, Chairman?”

It was the first time that Seojun, who always thoroughly considered the distinction between public and private life, spoke like this.

Kang Seok-ho and Secretary Kim, who was quietly listening, could not help but be surprised.

“Uh, well.. Director Kang.. this is a company..”

“Yes, I understand the Chairman’s judgment very well. Don’t expect much from this project.”

Seojun, who was furious, let out a sigh almost as if he was giving a warning, then slammed the door and left the chairman’s office.

“Uh, uh.. Chairman, shall I bring you back..?”

Secretary Kim was always in the middle, paying attention to the fights between the grandson and the grandfather.

“Hehe, no. That’s it.”

However, Kang Seok-ho did not seem offended by Seo-jun’s attitude.

“Seojun, he can’t even distinguish between public and private life like that. Huh…”

While saying that, the corners of the mouth are raised infinitely upward.

It couldn’t be anything other than the sight of a grandfather being happy and teasing his grandson, who was completely adorable.

“Chairman, isn’t this a bit dangerous?”

A grandfather is teasing and loving his grandson. Secretary Kim also has a grandson, so she can understand that feeling.

This project was too big to pass over with such fondness.

“What would you do if Vice President Kang San-ho gets into an accident?”

“In any case, Seojun is the one who leads the main story.. Hmm, no. It’ll be okay since it’s Director Kang.”

“Looking at what Director Kang is doing now, it looks like he doesn’t plan on doing it right.”

Secretary Kim sighed, but Kang Seok-ho didn’t look particularly worried.

“No, you can never do that. That’s because that kid’s personality is such that he can’t do that in the first place.”

Since it was the company’s job, and since it could be said to be a competition for the position of chairman, Seojun would never do anything half-heartedly.

Kang Seok-ho knew Seo-jun’s personality well, so he did this without asking for permission.

“But for the time being, Seojun will be hated a lot by this guy.”

It was Kang Seok-ho who looked sad.

“..You look really happy.”

Secretary Kim had been by Kang Seok-ho’s side for a very long time, so there was no way she couldn’t see his true expression.

“Haha, honestly, it’s so fun. I was worried every day, but I don’t know why I’m so happy these days.”

All of Kang Seok-ho’s joy came from Seo-jun creating a guild and jumping into the company.

Kang Seok-ho thought that he would like to continue to experience this kind of pleasure until he retired.

“Honestly, aren’t you happy enough without Vice President Kang San-ho and Director Kang?”

Secretary Kim, who knew that Seojun’s full-fledged involvement in itself was a source of joy for Kang Seok-ho, said.

“Still, if you ask for a chance, how can you ignore it? Isn’t it possible that you really want to change?”

Of course, Kang Seok-ho did not think that Kang San-ho, not Seo-jun, could take the chairmanship.

Even though Kang San-ho lacked ability compared to my son, he was still lacking.

However, Kang Seok-ho hoped that these events would improve the relationship between father and son, or that Kang San-ho would come to his senses even a little.

‘Anyway, you’re too soft.’

Although Secretary Kim was thinking of a worse situation.

‘No matter how much I think about it, this incident will completely end the relationship between the Vice President and Master Seojun.’

I was wondering whether I should tell Kang Seok-ho about this or not.

‘Let’s stop.’

I decided to quit.

This is because it is clear that Kang Seok-ho would have even considered that in the worst case scenario, Seo-jun and Kang San-ho would be completely separated.

Kang Seok-ho was that kind of person.

A person who always acts with even the worst situation in mind, from the time he brought Sogang up from the bottom.

That’s why Secretary Kim respected Kang Seok-ho even more.

“Then I’ll just leave. I will come back to see you later at the general shareholders’ meeting.”

After even Secretary Kim said hello and left.

“Hehe… It would be great if their relationship could get better, but it would probably be difficult.”

Kang Seok-ho showed a wistful expression as he wiped away the dust that settled on the family photo on the table.

“I should have educated my child more properly.”

He looked regretful, but he couldn’t turn back the past now.

I just hope Kang San-ho realizes his situation and comes to his senses.

Seojun came down with a huff and slammed the desk hard, unable to let go of his anger.

“Director, are you okay? Can I come in?”

Si-eun sounded worried, but had no intention of inviting anyone in.

“..It’s okay. Look at your work.”

“..Ah, yes, I understand.”

After seeing her return to her seat, Seojun sighed again.

“Ha, fuck.. How can I lead the project with that person.”

No matter what, I already had a picture in my head of never listening to Seojun and trying to do things my own way.

The person in charge was Seo-jun, but if he tried to control Kang San-ho using that, it was clear that he would be a bother by imposing his position as vice president.

“…Ah, fuck.. really ah..”

Seojun wasn’t the type of person to swear easily, but now he couldn’t help but curse.

‘I’m sure they’ll try to cram a lot of people in too…?’

Before that happens, it was important to fill the project with people and get approval from the chairman.

Once the president’s approval was received, no matter how much he was the vice president, he couldn’t change anything.

‘I think we should focus on people who are highly loyal rather than those who are good at their jobs.’

If there was a shortage of work, Seojun could make up for it by working overtime.

However, it was clear that if he lacked loyalty and fell for Kang San-ho’s sugar coating, it would be quite annoying.

‘Hehe… Among the people who saw potential before, there were people who were highly loyal…’

Seojun, who had carefully selected people in his head, began to move quickly.

“Sieun, please gather everyone here and bring them here. If there is someone who has earned annual leave, make a separate list and report it together.”

“Ah, yes! Okay, general manager!”

Seojun, who opened the door and came out, looked quite urgent, so Si-eun also started moving faster than usual to match the tempo.

It was less than 30 minutes later that Si-eun gathered all the people and compiled a list of people who had taken annual leave.

“Director, we have put everyone on standby. And this is a list of employees who used annual leave.”

“Oh, is it already over? As expected, Si-eun! It’s ace!”

“That’s too much praise.”

He gets things done quickly, is highly loyal, and also has a friendly personality.

Seojun, who thought it would be great if only people like Si-eun were in the company, secretly sighed and entered the conference room where everyone was gathered.

“Hello, Manager!”

“Welcome, Director!”

.

.

Everyone jumped up from their seats and politely greeted Seojun as he came in.

Thanks to the fact that we had already worked on a project together several times and only gathered people who were Seojun’s people, the story was progressing quickly and without a hitch.
