“In the morning, there was a call from the Vietnam side. They said they would cancel the contract with K1 Construction. They are making various excuses, but the main reason seems to be that Congressman Kang San-ho, who strongly recommended us there, suddenly withdrew his support.”
“Congressman Kang San-ho?”
Kang San-ho was the former leader of the ruling party and had been an influential figure for quite some time, whom Jin Young-cheol had put considerable effort into. There was a time when he tried hard to connect Sunwoo with his daughter.
Kang San-ho, displaying close friendships with key political figures in various Southeast Asian countries, had often helped K1 Construction secure construction contracts in Southeast Asian nations.
However, suddenly, Kang San-ho changed his stance, and as a result, it seemed that the Vietnamese client also changed their position.
After some contemplation, Sunwoo soon called his father, Jin Young-cheol.
Since Sunwoo declared that he wouldn’t get divorced and would continue with K1 Construction, Jin Young-cheol was furious with his son.
Upon Sunwoo’s call, which was the first in a long time, naturally, the conversation did not go smoothly.
“Father, is there any problem with Congressman Kang San-ho?”
“Why is he avoiding your calls?”
Suddenly, Jin Young-cheol lamented his situation, feeling like a loose and dangling thread. He had been convinced that his acquaintances were avoiding him because he lost, but Sunwoo thought differently.
“Since it was revealed that I had an extramarital affair, it seems that people who approached me because of my fatherly connections have distanced themselves. Since the possibility of inheriting K1 Construction is gone, my value has decreased.”
Since Jin Young-cheol hadn’t considered that angle, he asked in confusion.
During that time, Sunwoo thought that if he were to be kicked out of K1 Construction, he would inevitably enter politics. Given that more than a few people had coveted him as a political asset, he believed that once he secured a reliable in-law, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to establish a position in politics.
However, as the background of ‘K1 Construction’s next successor’ disappeared, even those who touted him as the future presidential candidate were now coldly turning their backs on him.
Concluding that there was no more information to extract from Jin Young-cheol, Sunwoo soon called Inyeong.
Since a comprehensive review of all projects entangled with Jin Young-cheol’s acquaintances was deemed necessary, not only for the report on the Vietnamese contract but also for projects related to his father’s connections.
“The Development Business Division has mainly focused on Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, so the influence of your father’s acquaintances is not significant. However, there could be a significant impact on the Southeast Asia-focused business unit or domestic construction sector.”
Inyeong’s voice was also serious. She generally preferred handling clean affairs, but she didn’t mind taking an easy path when available.
Thanks to Jin Young-cheol’s connections, she had seen several easy paths, and as a result, she had received quite a bit of help.
“Which business team will be most affected?”
Sunwoo let out a deep sigh. Although Sunwoo himself had a urgent fire to put out, Vice Chairman Inyeong would be extremely busy for the time being.
“I’ll try to resolve it as quickly as possible. Vice Chairman, please take care of yourself and don’t push too hard.”
After ending the call with Inyeong, Sunwoo turned to Yonggi and asked.
“What’s the earliest flight to Hanoi?”
“3 p.m. today. I’ve secured two tickets for the Head Office Director and me.”
Sunwoo nodded deeply and checked his watch. It was just past 10 a.m. At that moment, Green came out of the kitchen.
“Ms. Green, I think I need to go on a business trip to Vietnam today.”
“Suddenly like this? How many days will it take?”
“About three days. It could take up to a week if it’s long.”
“Then, Sunwoo, you have to have breakfast. I’ll prepare your business trip bag. Yonggi, haven’t you had breakfast yet?”
“No, not yet.”
At Green’s words, Yonggi suddenly felt hungry. Because of the sudden and urgent news from the morning, he had rushed over, and there was no time to grab breakfast.
The two of them neatly cleared the breakfast table that Green had carefully set up. Thinking about the upcoming battle, they instinctively felt that they needed to eat well in advance.
