“But, why? What does Chairman Cho say about me?”
With a visibly tightened brow, Chairman Baek asked.
Though Seorin responded that it was nothing due to the overly sensitive reaction, Chairman Baek muttered as if distressed.
“Well, having a precious son like you holding the leash on my unruly son, that gentleman must have had a hard time. But still, don’t back down. Show clearly who you are this time.”
“It could be a prolonged battle. Besides, it won’t be good for the company’s image.”
Recalling the words of the subordinates just now, Seorin warned, but Chairman Baek was firm.
“Losing to those guys wouldn’t be good for the company’s image either. I can’t stand seeing my people beaten up and coming back, having lost to someone like Paek Ji Nam. So, don’t ever lose to a punk like Jo Minhyung.”
“…”
“If you come back defeated, it will bring tears of blood to your late father’s eyes.”
Suddenly, when Chairman Baek brought up this topic, Seorin, who had been looking at Chairman Baek, teared up. She gritted her teeth.
Even so, Seorin nodded without shedding a tear.
“Yes. For my late father and mother. For my deceased sister.”
“…….”
“I’ll never lose.”
Today, for some reason, Seorin missed the late Chairman Baek even more.
“I received an invitation, sir.”
Sodam smiled brightly, offering a luxurious card. When Taejun received and unfolded it, he saw a simple invitation with a name that twisted his insides just by looking at it.
“Jo Gukjin.”
It was Chairman Jo’s name.
“As the CEO mentioned, did you donate to the largest children’s library establishment planned by the Seoul city government this time and express your intention to donate and invest further, hence receiving this invitation?”
“That’s expected. The construction company and government policies are inevitably intertwined.”
“Still, I didn’t think I would receive an invitation.”
“Would Chairman Jo, who is so busy, manage the invitation list for such an event meticulously?”
“Well, that makes sense too.”
Sodam nodded in agreement, but her cautious black eyes still harbored many questions and concerns.
“Really… Are you okay with this plan?”
“What plan?”
“Still, wouldn’t it be better to send evidence material to the police and request an investigation?”
“I can’t trust the law enforcement anymore. Who knows how my sent evidence will be used? Seorin and I won’t go through that again.”
“Chairman Baek, are you really okay?”
“I’ll be fine. But… because it’s Baek Seorin, she can endure this much.”
Thinking only of her made his chest ache like a soaked cotton ball. If it was this tough for him, how much more difficult must it be for Seorin?
Still, the two of them relied on each other, silently enduring this tough moment.
[Dash] The mother even desperately called her son’s name when she died. What was the name again…The words of Chairman Jo in the video, calling out his son’s name until the moment of death, resounded in his mind. Thinking of the mother who must have called him with deep affection until the moment she died, a flame ignited in Taejun’s chest once again.
But it wasn’t time yet.
Taejun was waiting for the perfect moment to strangle Chairman Jo.
And that moment was approaching rapidly, three days later, thanks to this invitation.
All preparations were perfectly in place.
On the day of the celebration party for the acquisition and merger of the shipping company and construction company.
Chairman Jo wanted to celebrate this party more splendidly than anyone else. So, he mobilized all the connections he knew and invited influential figures from the business and political circles.
All these people were potential customers for him in the future.
Chairman Jo looked at the party that had successfully begun with satisfaction.
Despite the twists and turns, he thought he had done well to come this far.
Of course, it would have been more perfect if Minhyung had been here to guard this place with him, but given the current circumstances, he was satisfied with just this much.
Seorin and Taejun were surprisingly quiet compared to what he expected.
On that day, judging by Seorin’s fierce momentum, it seemed like she would rush to the police station immediately and spill all the truth. However, unexpectedly, she fell silent, making Heo Gyeong-jun even more frightened.
But Chairman Jo had a different perspective.
The fact that they were this quiet meant, as Chairman Jo expected, there were only psychological evidences; there was no decisive evidence yet.
Otherwise, Baek Seorin, like a bulldozer, wouldn’t stay this silent.
At that moment, the secretary approached and quietly delivered some news.
“Assemblyman Jung and Mayor have just arrived.”
“Oh, really? Then bring them in quickly.”
Bowing his head, the secretary soon brought two middle-aged men to Chairman Jo. They were Park Seong-jun, the mayor of Seoul, and Jung Cheol-su, a member of the National Assembly.
“Oh, it’s been a while. Chairman Jo!”
