Devil Returns To School Days - Chapter 165
31. Crack (2)
Lim Cheol-hyung reacted with embarrassment.
Sun Group.
It’s a great company.
His successor would be the most powerful person in Korea, but the title of CEO of Mirae Investment & Securities meant he was not someone to be treated lightly, no matter who he was dealing with. Therefore, Yoon Hyun-min’s question-like response stimulated my heart. As the opponent appeared hostile, Lim Cheol-hyung’s reaction was not good either.
“Are we in a situation where we need to be disciplined now? After Kim Hyun-seong gave an interview to the media, for the first time, people began to doubt who was behind it. Everyone is very dissatisfied. “The reason I blindly trusted the Golden Circle so far was because they handled things neatly, but didn’t they already fail several times just because of the Kim Hyun-seong issue?”
As a client.
He was entitled to speak now.
Lim Cheol-hyung believed so.
“If failure continues, we will have no choice but to take special measures.”
“Please do so.”
“…yes?”
“If you want to go to the Golden Circle, I won’t stop you. “This group I created was for mutual benefit, not to act as a one-sided errand boy.”
Hyunmin Yoon’s reaction.
I wasn’t obedient.
I thought that if I were to be held accountable, there would be a reasonable response, but Yoon Hyun-min instead fiercely resisted.
“The CEO is making a big mistake. If we look back on responsibility for the failure, we cannot think that it is only the Golden Circle’s fault. Do you remember? What did ‘Jeong Chan-soo’, whom CEO Lim Cheol-hyung introduced, do after he entered heaven? He was Kim Hyun-seong’s liaison. Golden Circle’s internal information was leaked and we had no choice but to be put in a disadvantageous situation. This all happened because of one person who pushed it in the name of CEO Lim Cheol-hyung. But have I ever blamed the CEO?”
I was speechless.
Chansu Jeong.
In fact, it was an uncomfortable issue even for Lim Cheol-hyung.
After hearing the story about him, I couldn’t ask Golden Circle for anything for a while.
“I never once held the CEO responsible. I didn’t tell others that it was the Golden Circle’s fault and that there were other problems. CEO. The reason I did that was because I thought we were in the same boat. Since the bad news about the CEO is not your problem alone, we decided that there was no need to create a controversy that would erode the company internally. But what should I think of the CEO’s attitude in asking for responsibility now? why. Should I bow my head and apologize?”
Current conversation.
The message conveyed was clear.
It is not a relationship between superiors and superiors.
We may not have known it when the Golden Circle was first created, but the current Golden Circle has shown that this is not the case.
Lim Cheol-hyung reacted as if he was in trouble.
“Well, that’s it…”
“Then just believe and wait. The Golden Circle is not yet at full strength. If it were a group that could be swayed by just one individual, the current Golden Circle would not exist. “Isn’t it because you trust me that you have worked so hard?”
Rather, it was reversed.
Lim Cheol-hyung instinctively knew.
Time has accumulated layer by layer over a dozen years.
As Yoon Hyun-min took the lead in speaking, he suddenly appeared to be closer to A than in a relationship with A.
“What the CEO can do now is comfort people and trust us and wait. If only I could do that. As always, we will live up to your expectations.”
* * *
CEO Lim Cheol-hyung leaves.
Hyunmin Yoon immediately called in his secretary.
“Mobilize several media outlets to publish an article right now. Taeyang Group is having good talks with Mirae Investment & Securities regarding recent investment issues. “Through that article, people will understand today’s meeting.”
“All right.”
The secretary left.
This incident.
Actually, it wasn’t a big deal.
CEO Lim Cheol-hyung’s complaints were something I had expected, but the fact that he came to me in person like this bothered me. It was a problem of perfectionist tendencies. They had completely controlled it so that people would not be able to find out about their personal connection with Mirae Investment & Securities, but for the first time, they were given a very subtle leeway.
Of course, there won’t be any problems.
Forming a connection after just one meeting is virtually no different from speculation.
the problem is.
‘I don’t like it.’
Hyunseong Kim.
I was concerned about his actions.
If he really intended to take revenge, why didn’t he mention the Golden Circle to the media?
In fact, the level of information he secured had enough destructive power to destroy at least most of the Golden Circle.
So it was more attractive.
In his life, Hyunmin Yoon rarely met people who were beyond his control.
Hyunseong Kim was different.
From Daesan to now.
His behavior was irregular.
Although it was a situation he could not handle as an individual, he suddenly went beyond expectations and always created the worst ending the Golden Circle could think of. However, I did not take this situation seriously. It may have been a dozen years ago, but today’s Golden Circle is not a group that will be shaken by internal dissatisfaction.
Himself.
It is not simply a successor to the Taeyang Group.
It has become a very important puzzle in the complex power system centered around the Golden Circle.
Should be.
Hostile company.
Yoon Hyun-min became a person who could not help but be mentioned in the power of the Republic of Korea, as people who may have been uncomfortable with each other benefited from him. That was proven by the conversation just now. CEO Lim Cheol-hyung is clearly a great person, but didn’t he eventually take a step back due to the destructive power of Yoon Hyun-min’s name?
It was what I hoped for.
Hyun-min Yoon hoped to take the Republic of Korea into his hands based on the Golden Circle.
“If you keep bothering me, I’ll have to make a decision soon.”
Should I kill Kim Hyun-seong or accept him?
Anyway, the hilt of the sword belongs to you.
If you make a decision soon, that decision will definitely become a reality.

That afternoon.
CEO Lim Cheol-hyung drank alone.
When I thought about what happened during the day, my anger boiled over.
“You cheeky bastard.”
At the time, I tolerated it and moved on.
But the more I thought about it, the more I disliked Yoon Hyun-min’s attitude of forcing a choice on me.
“Your head is bigger now.”
A dozen years ago.
Yoon Hyun-min was not this kind of person.
He was just a baby with no blood on his head yet, but the situation changed as the successor’s position was solidified and the Golden Circle’s power expanded. If you leave the Golden Circle. There was nothing to gain from it. Due to the deterioration of his relationship with Yoon Hyun-min, he had to give up the benefits he had gained through the Golden Circle in the future.
It was a huge loss.
As a businessman, I could not tolerate such a situation.
and.
‘The fall of the Golden Circle will be fatal to those who were part of it. If Yoon Hyun-min were in a truly dangerous situation, he would embrace all of us and try to die. You wicked bastard. We were deceived by the benefits provided by the Golden Circle and ended up in the swamp called Yoon Hyun-min without knowing anything. It is clear that the Golden Circle is a group that benefits the most with the least amount of cost, but that will only happen if the Golden Circle is maintained.’
Lim Cheol-hyung also knew.
If we were to accurately divide the relationship between A and A.
Now the fact that Yoon Hyun-min is the best.
The benefits he could give through the Golden Circle were something he could not give up, and above all, there were too many secrets Yoon Hyun-min knew to turn hostile. An inevitable community of destiny. As Lim Cheol-hyung was faced with the reality, he had no choice but to pour himself another drink.
Those in power were like that.
No matter how attractive the relationships provided by the Golden Circle were, the tight leash was quite annoying.
Jump, jump, jump.
widely.
“But we can’t just sit there like this. “We need to prepare for any emergency.”
I picked up my cell phone.
I was thinking of contacting the members of Heaven.
But then.
Ugh.
[Kim Pan-ho]
An unexpected person called.
* * *
1 hour later.
I met Panho Kim.
I visited Lim Cheol-hyung’s residence and Kim Pan-ho filled my glass.
“I heard the story. “I heard you were put in a difficult situation because of the person I introduced you to.”
“Did you know?”
“yes. But without any shame, I’m finally coming to see you.”
Grumbling.
The drinking glass was filled.
Lim Cheol-hyung drank it without hesitation and put down his glass to express his hurt feelings.
widely.
“I’m just saying this because I’m talking about it. At that time, my situation was very difficult. There has never been a single case of a broker who manages a member of Heaven betraying him, but when Chan-soo Jeong went out of his way to do so, my right to speak was greatly weakened. How can I raise my voice in such a rude way? Since we have created room for problems, we have no choice but to keep our mouths shut. “Even in this situation, considering former National Assembly member Kim Pan-ho’s position, I did not say exactly how I was introduced to Jeong Chan-soo.”
“thank you. “In the meantime, you are thinking of me.”
Lim Cheol-hyung didn’t know.
Chansu Jeong.
If you had revealed exactly how you were introduced to him.
The Golden Circle would have prepared a little more thoroughly.
Chan-soo Jeong was a person whom Pan-ho Kim introduced, and he put pressure on the Golden Circle by moving the steps that Pan-ho Kim had set this time. Hyunmin Yoon was never one to miss that connection. Lim Cheol-hyung thought it was okay not to reveal his relationship with Kim Pan-ho.
Kim Pan-ho’s intentions.
I never would have dared to imagine that a single high school student would have a personal relationship with a member of the National Assembly.
Just like yourself.
I thought I was a victim deceived by Jeong Chan-soo.
Lim Cheol-hyung said.
“It’s not anyone else, it’s Rep. Kim Pan-ho, isn’t it? He may one day lead the future of Korea, but I thought there was no need to cause trouble for something he did not intend. Well, don’t feel bad about me saying this. “Can’t I at least complain about the responsibility I have to bear?”
“Yes yes. you’re right.”
politician.
Among them, there was no need to ruin relationships with big names like Kim Pan-ho.
It was a personal greed.
Even at this moment, Lim Cheol-hyung thought that there was enough to be gained just by putting the burden of his heart on Kim Pan-ho.
Kim Pan-ho laughed.
Unlike his friendly behavior of refilling my glass, his eyes became cold and sunken.
“I will not forget CEO Lim Cheol-hyung’s consideration. Politicians are horses. Only when you treat your relationship as if it were your life, does that meager power become meaningful. “CEO Lim Cheol-hyung thinks of me that way, so shouldn’t I also think of CEO Lim Cheol-hyung in a special way?”
“Haha, is that so?”
My mood melted away.
Lim Cheol-hyung was excited to see Kim Pan-ho come out like this.
“Even so, I wasn’t in a good mood because of what happened today. Thanks to you, everything was resolved. Come on, let’s drink! “I’m going to open all the alcohol I’ve been saving today!”
“great.”
that day.
The two drank all night long.
There was no special conversation.
We didn’t talk about any more complicated things about the Golden Circle, we just exchanged drinks.
* * *
Inside the whiteboard.
The names of the characters were complicatedly intertwined.
Kim Hyun-seong carefully checked some of the information.
[Cheonsang]
– Lim Cheol-hyung, CEO of Mirae Investment & Securities
– had a personal meeting with Hong Seung-beom’s father, Hong Sun-ho, immediately after the results were released. And the next morning, he immediately visited Taeyang Group’s Hyunmin Yoon, and the media revealed that the reason was ‘investment issues’.
-At a drinking party with Kim Pan-ho, he said something bad happened today. He seemed uncomfortable due to the Jeong Chan-soo issue.
That wasn’t the only information.
Information scattered on the floor.
Golden Circle people.
A tangled relationship with them.
Who gained and who lost.
Who met whom and what was the frequency and purpose of those meetings.
When I first returned to the past, the information I had researched so far was organized in a chaotic manner so that only Kim Hyun-seong could see it.
I stared at the whiteboard for a long time.
A space filled with silence.
Finally, Hyunseong Kim wrote a name in the center of the whiteboard.
[Hyunmin Yoon]
“It’s you.”
at las.
It was the moment to identify a person suspected of being the owner of the Golden Circle.
