The status of subjugation support was satisfactory.
It was still a mess both internally and externally and there was still a lot of government interference.
Fortunately, since it was an external company, the impact was relatively less.
Thanks to this, the amount of subjugation gradually increased within a week.
At the same time, the branch situation also became more stable.
Of course, we are still struggling with a deficit.
‘Compared to the fact that we were on the verge of bankruptcy without even being able to subdue it properly…’
If the conflict is over, we can do anything.
We immediately began preparing to begin conquering dungeons in neighboring countries in time for the end of the conflict.
And at that critical time.
Team leader Seong-il Ha received unexpected news.
“Your father passed away…?”
Team Leader Ha, who suddenly received a phone call, immediately spoke in a trembling voice.
“Uh uh… okay. I’m on a business trip right now, so it’ll take a while. “I’ll be there as soon as possible.”
After hanging up the phone, the first thing I did was look at Minjoo Kim and me.
I asked first.
“Has your condition worsened?”
“well. “I know the details…”
He answered with a bewildered expression.
His feelings seemed quite complicated.
“I’m sorry, but I think I’ll have to go to Korea for a while.”
“Yes, that’s right. “Don’t worry about this matter, just organize it well and come back.”
“yes yes. thank you.”
Team Leader Ha said hello and immediately left the office.
“…It’s sudden.”
In the office where only the two of them were left, Kim Min-joo opened his mouth insinuatingly.
“That’s right.”
“Team Leader Ha must be very heartbroken.”
“well. “I don’t think so.”
An expression as if asking what you are talking about.
If you don’t know the circumstances, you might think that way.
“The brothers in that family don’t have a good relationship with their father. “They only said that Ha Seong-tae, the eldest son, was pretty, and they paid little attention to anyone else.”
“…okay.”
Well, the circumstances of other people’s houses are none of my business, but…
‘Something feels uncomfortable.’
What can I say, the timing was perfect.
I opened my phone with a skeptical expression.
[(1st report) Hanbyul General Trading Company president Ha Dong-bae passes away]
[Is the chronic disease worsening? The specialist said, ‘It wasn’t in a bad condition until yesterday.’]
[CEO Mi-yeon Ha, the eldest daughter of President Dong-bae Ha and managing director of Hanbyeol Construction Co., Ltd., ‘requested an autopsy’]
Sure enough, related articles were already pouring in.
However, among the numerous articles, one that caught my eye caught my eye.
[Ha Seong-tae, former head of the sales division, claims management rights at Hanbyul Corp. ‘I will carry on my father’s will’ controversial hereditary succession?]
[Chairman Ha Deok-soo ‘I don’t want it’. However, the board’s reaction was ‘positive’]
[Former Director Seong-tae Ha, who was receiving overwhelming support from the board, why did the board suddenly turn around?] [
‘Throws a large sum of money’ at Hanbyul Trading Company in exchange for handing over management rights to an anonymous foreign investor]
[Director Seong-tae Ha What on earth is your relationship with Director Ha, the foreign investor who asked, ‘No one knows his identity?’]
It was none other than news of Ha Seong-tae’s comeback.
‘Look at this guy…?’
It was incomprehensible.
What on earth happened to him who was dismissed from his position as CEO and lost Chairman Ha Deok-soo?
Above all, with Rep. Jeong Hoon being arrested, it would have been only a matter of time before the prosecution caught him…
How on earth did they cut off his tail?
‘Rather than that, you’re now aiming for management rights at Hanbyeol Corporation?’
I focused on the word ‘anonymous foreign investor’, which was continuously emphasized in the article.
Foreign investors.
What the fuck is so great?…
“If things continue like this, Boss Hanbyeol will fall for Ha Seong-tae without hesitation.”
Minju Kim, who was reading the article next to me, said.
“I guess so.”
“I’m sure there won’t be any trouble for us, right?”
“…what could be the problem?”
I answered vaguely and put down my phone.
Even though I said that, I started to feel anxious without knowing it.
***
Funeral hall at a university hospital in Seoul.
There was a crowd of reporters and a huge crowd of mourners.
As Ha Seong-il was wandering around in the crowd, a woman waved at him.
“Seongil, here.”
“Ah, sister.”
His older sister, Ha Mi-yeon, was the managing director of Hanbyeol Construction.
“how have you been doing? “I heard you’re in the Congo right now.”
“Uh, just a moment for business. “What about your sister?”
“It’s always like that with me.”
Ha Mi-yeon shrugged her shoulders.
After a short conversation, Ha Seong-il approached the portrait of President Ha Deok-soo.
‘But you lived that long.’
It’s time to say one last goodbye with a subtle expression.
Ha Mi-yeon approached him again.
“Are you going to leave in a few days?”
“I think I can stay until things are sorted out. The CEO also told me to do the same.”
“I heard you’re working with CEO Kim Jun-woo? “Are you as eccentric as they say?”
“no. “He may be a bit stiff, but he’s a good person.”
It was a time when light conversations were taking place.
“It’s been a while, everyone?”
Eldest son Ha Seong-tae appeared.
The eyes of the two siblings immediately turned to him.
Of course, the gaze wasn’t all that pretty.
Ha Mi-yeon opened her mouth first.
“I heard you ate Boss Hanbyeol? congratulations.”
“Haha thank you.”
“How much strength did you have to convince those famous directors?”
“There is someone like that. “I’ll introduce you next time I get a chance.”
It was an unluckily relaxed tone of voice.
It doesn’t matter how long it takes for a person to become like that as soon as they start a business.
Ha Mi-yeon shook her head.
Soon, President Ha Seong-tae’s eyes turned to his youngest brother.
“Oh, right. Seongil. “I’m thinking of starting a new business this time.”
“What business…?”
“Well, overseas delivery is similar.”
Team leader Ha Seong-il’s eyes narrowed at the ambiguous answer.
“But why are you telling me that?”
“You are definitely affiliated with Hanbyul Corporation. But the event overlaps with the project you are working on. “I heard you’re receiving equipment support from Hanbyul Trading Company for a contract with the African branch?”
“however?”
“I don’t think I will be able to support you from now on.”
“…what?”
Team leader Ha Seong-il’s eyebrows twitched.
“No matter how you look at it, my side makes more money. Well… I also made a promise to investors.”
“….”
Team Leader Ha Seong-il’s eyes became more and more powerful.
Support projects have finally reached a level of stability.
However, it was obvious that if equipment support was cut off here, everything would return to square one.
‘This bastard is really….’
Team leader Ha Seong-il struggled to hold back his swearing.
“Where on earth are you planning to deliver it to? Are you so confident?”
“You can take care of that yourself.”
President Ha Seong-tae shrugs his shoulders with an unlucky smile.
And then he turned his back on me without even saying hello to the portrait photo.
Team leader Seong-il Ha quietly glared at his back as he left the funeral hall.
‘What on earth are you trying to do, crazy guy?…’
I know that person’s real face better than anyone else.
A guy who is only focused on being the head of the group.
This is a guy who will not hesitate to do anything for that purpose.
okay.
He is a person who will not even care about his family if he wants to do anything.
“sister.”
Feeling strangely anxious, he asked his sister.
“Have the results of your father’s autopsy been released?”
“Oh yeah. “It came out that the direct cause of death was lack of oxygen due to difficulty breathing.”
“Hard breathing?”
Did the oxygen mask suddenly break?
‘Hmm…’
My father’s sudden death.
A mysterious foreign investor who appeared at the right time. At the same time, management succession took place immediately.
Everything is progressing smoothly as if it had been prepared from the beginning.
‘I can’t help but be suspicious at this rate.’
Ring ring –
Then a phone call came.
It was a call from none other than Cedric.
***
DR Congo National Assembly Building.
“Seven clashes occurred at the border near Makambo.”
Rep. Cedric’s aide was reporting on the status of the dispute.
“What is the damage?”
“doesn’t exist. Fortunately, it was only a provocation and did not escalate into an all-out war like last time.”
“It’s slowly lowering its tail.”
Representative Cedric sighed lightly.
Considering the power difference in the first place, it wasn’t a fight that would last long. I know people are angry about the integrated branch, but if things continue like this, only Zambia will suffer more losses.
“This shit will finally end.”
No matter how stupid they are, there is no way they would continue fighting without any benefit.
“I… but there’s a problem.”
But the aide seemed to think differently.
“what? “What’s the problem?”
“According to information obtained by our operative who is currently infiltrating the Zambian Provisional Association…”
The aide paused for a moment and lowered his voice.
“They say an arms deal is scheduled at the Zambia Provisional Association in a week’s time.”
“…what?!”
At that moment, Representative Cedric’s eyes widened.
“An arms deal? It’s not an official association, so who on earth is supplying weapons?! Is it the Middle East? Or North Korea?”
“It’s called Korea…”
“…?”
Illegal arms trade in Korea?
What do you regret about them?
“There is no way in Korea there is a place like that…”
“Isn’t there a company called Hanbyeol?”
“…Don’t talk nonsense. “What kind of company is that? There’s no way they’re doing black market business.”
“I think so too… but his movements these past few days are a bit suspicious. It is said that the owner recently passed away and his eldest son took over management rights on the back of an anonymous foreign investor. “At the same time, they said they stopped delivering items to some teams.”
“….”
That’s definitely suspicious, though.
“If the Zambian Provisional Association succeeds in obtaining weapons… I don’t know what the situation will be like. If we’re not careful, they could actually advance all the way to Kinshasa…”
Damn it.
Representative Cedric immediately picked up the receiver.
“dismissal. “This is Cedric.”
This time, it was the office of Congo’s head president.
“It is nothing different… they say that a black market is planned at the Zambia Provisional Association.”
“…Are you sure?”
“Our agent confirmed it. “I’m sure.”
“No, that’s right. “Are you sure what the agent said?”
“…Yes?”
Cedric’s expression hardened at the incomprehensible question.
“Are you planning on infiltrating Zambia just by believing what he says? Because of the branch, the views of neighboring countries are not positive, so what if we make the first move? “Are you going to take responsibility then?”
“Your Excellency! However, if we leave it like this, we could be in danger…”
“Then go and contact us again then.”
Snap—.
Cedric looked at the already disconnected receiver with a bewildered expression.
Even in this situation, you are paying attention to neighboring countries?
‘I felt a little strange since I visited the headquarters of the International Association a few days ago…’
What on earth was being discussed with the headquarters so that even the country took a backseat?
‘Fuck, I can’t believe they all fooled me…’
Cedric stroked his hair.
‘By the way, if you are really working for Hanbyeol Corporation…’
Could it be Seongil too?
Cedric took out his personal cell phone, thinking he should at least check it first.
“It’s me, friend.”
Finally, Ha Seong-il’s answer was heard.
“Cedric, what’s going on?”
“Are you in charge of the arms deal that Hanbyeol Trading is conducting with overseas?”
Without saying anything, I asked directly.
Of course, it was just a question for me to think about. If this is really what Seongil is pushing for, there will be a response somehow.
「….」
The answer was cut off.
I hope so for a while.
“…I don’t know if it’s an arms deal, but there is a business being prepared with overseas. I don’t know the details, though. “But how do you know that?”
It seems like he doesn’t know.
The suspicion was unfounded.
We’re definitely in the same boat, so it won’t be easy to betray him. In the first place, there was no benefit to him.
“I can’t tell you in detail, but… I think that business is related to us as well.”
“…What?”
“So, do you think you can stop it?”
After hesitating, Ha Seong-il opened his mouth with difficulty.
“…I think that would be a bit difficult. It’s not something I can handle on my own. “Are you in a hurry?”
“Quite. Not only us, but your business could be at risk as well.”
“Hmm…”
Team leader Ha Seong-il also responded as if he was having trouble.
But even for a moment.
“Then why don’t you talk to that person?”
“Who?”
「CEO Kim Jun-woo.」
Ha Seong-il kindly told me the cheat key.
“He will solve it somehow.”
