“According to the data we have verified, C&C Global has had a negative operating profit over the past five years. Especially, it exceeded minus 5% from three years ago, recording minus 11% last year. There are various reasons for this, but the main reason is the reckless construction and real estate investments by C&C Global. If we look only at these investments, we incurred a loss close to minus 30%, but it was offset to around minus 10% by the profits from electronics and chemistry.”
Kanghyun’s resolute and firm voice became even louder.
“And the real estate investment was packaged as a company business, but nearly 20% of it was heading into Chairman Cha Seungjo’s personal pocket. All these supporting documents can be confirmed in the printed materials and the earlier video.”
The hall was in turmoil, and Cha Seungjo and Cha Minwoo tried to rush to the front stage while shouting.
However, the 30 security personnel who had appeared earlier blocked their way.
“Ikanghyun! Where are you collecting such nonsense and agitating! This is a lie! It’s a lie!”
Cha Seungjo shouted in frustration, and suddenly a voice flowed through the convention hall’s speakers.
“As I thought, last year’s net profit figure was 12%, but why is it 2% in your data! This is too weak!”
“What are you talking about! Even if it seems like shareholders’ profits are decreasing, what’s important is whether it matches the actual figures or not! All those who come under the fancy name of shareholders will cry out, wondering why the profits are falling, wearing blindfolds on their eyes. Minwoo suggested, align it back to 12% as per the original plan! Even if you show the actual figures to these ignorant fools who can’t properly see the numbers, you’ll only get curses!”
It was the voice of Seungjo a few days ago during a call with Kanghyun.
“The Chairman Cha Seungjo and Executive Cha Minwoo embezzled profits, and the amount revealed so far amounts to about 50 billion won. If you dig deeper, the number will likely be higher. Moreover, the dividends paid to you so far are also likely covered up with inaccurate numbers somewhere. This is becoming a significant problem, accumulating one by one, leading to the long-term bankruptcy of the company.”
Some shareholders screamed in response to Kanghyun’s words, rushing towards Seungjo and Minwoo.
“We propose to dismiss Chairman Cha Seungjo, who is trying to appoint his close associates and relatives as executives, for embezzlement and malpractice, as an urgent matter at today’s shareholders’ meeting.”
Kanghyun’s charismatic voice conveyed the message to the shareholders.
“I, Kim Jiwon, the second-largest shareholder of C&C Global, also agree with the urgent matter proposed by Director Ikanghyun.”
With Kim Jiwon’s appearance, the noise in the convention hall quickly subsided.
Entering through the large door of the convention hall, Kim Jiwon walked slowly inside and sat down next to Jiyeon.
Soon after, five men rushed into the convention hall and stood in front of Cha Seungjo and Cha Minwoo.
“I am Detective Chulmin Choi from the Central District Prosecutor’s Office, Division 7. Mr. Cha Seungjo, Mr. Cha Minwoo, you are urgently arrested on charges of embezzlement and malpractice. Please come with us.”
“Where do you come in like this! Get out! Get out of this house!”
Juran tried to block people entering the house with his arms wide open, but it was in vain.
“No, why touch that! No, let go of that! Where do you think you can just come in like this! Hey!”
“As I just showed, we have received a search warrant and are carrying out official duties lawfully. Please step aside.”
Numerous people entered the house, and with no way to block them, Juran lay down at the entrance.
“You guys! Step on me and go! Step on me and go! Otherwise, get out of here right now!”
Lying on the floor and shouting vulgarly, Kang Juran, three female government officials easily lifted and moved her to one side, and quickly, people started entering.
“Hey! Let go of this~ Don’t touch it! Let go of this! These guys are blocking me!”
Regardless of Juran’s tantrum, the people who swiftly entered the house began searching every nook and cranny.
Starting from Chairman Cha Seungjo’s room, they meticulously searched every corner of the house.
Many documents and suspicious items were photographed and boxed up.
The prosecution team, who had been searching for a while, discovered a hidden room in Chairman Cha’s room that even Juran didn’t know about.
Behind a large framed picture, a small storage room was found, containing an immense amount of files and photo materials.
Next to it, there were numerous gold bars that would be difficult for a few men to carry.
At the same time, an search and seizure warrant was issued, and the prosecution stormed into the C&C Global headquarters.
Executive offices, audit teams, and sales teams became the main targets.
Numerous documents were haphazardly packed into blue boxes brought by the prosecution, and the gaze of the employees watching was filled with unease.
“In the case of C&C Global, an unusually urgent arrest warrant has been issued for embezzlement and malpractice. Presiding Judge Kim Taegon of the Central District Court stated, ‘Considering the behavior of the suspects revealed in various stages, there is a significant concern about evidence tampering and destruction.’ This was the reason given for the issuance of the arrest warrant.”
“After Chairman Cha Seungjo and Executive Cha Minwoo were urgently arrested on charges of embezzlement and malpractice, the prosecution also conducted a search and seizure at the C&C Global headquarters and Chairman Cha Seungjo’s residence.”
“A few days ago, an impeachment proposal for Chairman Cha Seungjo of C&C Global was submitted as an urgent agenda at the shareholders’ meeting. In addition to unanimous agreement from attending shareholders, today’s board of directors also decided to confirm the dismissal of Chairman Cha Seungjo, reaching a sudden resolution. Following this, the board of directors at C&C Global, now entering the process of appointing a new chairman, has decided that Director Ikanghyun, who uncovered the embezzlement case, will lead C&C Global temporarily until the new chairman is appointed.”
For days, news about C&C Global flooded the media.
Added to that, an intriguing piece of news captured people’s attention.
The divorce lawsuit of Kim Jiwon, the CEO of C&C Corporation, who demanded an unprecedented property division of 500 billion won, is also a hot topic. This time, Kim Jiwon has filed a lawsuit for alimony against Kang Mo, the mother of Cha Minwoo, and Jang, an actress. Under current law, an alimony lawsuit for adultery facts must be filed within 3 years of knowing the affair, so it is unlikely that the lawsuit will proceed in the case of Kang Mo. It is assumed that Kim Jiwon’s side, aware of this, filed the lawsuit, aiming to bring to light the undisclosed irregularities of Chairman Cha Seungjo, especially given the current situation at C&C Global. At the same time, in the case of Jang, who is undergoing another alimony lawsuit for adultery, she is an actress who has gained popularity with a modest image, adding more shock to the public. The agency has only announced that they are verifying the facts, and public curiosity is growing.
The flames of corporate corruption that Yeon, Kang Hyun, and their collaborators ignited at the shareholders’ meeting spread rapidly through various media.
Revenge has begun.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
