Chapter 301 - Solution
Dan-Han reclined on his seat as he stared into space. He was sure he would never approve a investment deal with Kwon Nara, and he had not done that.
He had looked up each company that had invested in the project before approving them. PK corps wasn\'t like other companies who sort out for investors in every project. In their case companies vvyed to partner with them. The centenrary project was a once in a lifetime project, even the government wanted to participate in it, and because the project was important to him, he had been careful in everything pertaining to it.
So how the hell did he approve someone like Kwon-Nara? The very girl who had drugged and overdosed him in the past and left him for dead because of her ambition.
Seeing her reminded him of the bad decisions his mother had made in the past, how she had interfered in his life, and made him to encounter crazy women like Kwon-Nara and Choi Mi-Ok, who didn\'t know the importance of life, and he didn\'t want to remember his mother in such a way. Although his mother had asked him to forgive them, he couldn\'t just let them stay around. He wasn\'t someone who granted second chances.
He had called an emergency meeting with the legal team to find a feasible solution, but had been unable to come up with one. The deal has been sighed and if he were to breach it, the company would have to pay a ridiculous amount for compensation, which the company couldn\'t afford at the moment. They were neck deep in projects and they needed every fund they had.
He sighed and gazed at Secretary Chang-wok, who has been standing by the door for over an hour.
Secretary Chang-wok had decided to maintain some good distance behind him as the man\'s mood has been foul, and he feared he might blow up at any given opportunity.
"President Lee-"
"Did you check every file sent to my table?" His cold voice iced Chang-wok to the spine.
"Yes sir." Chang-wok replied.
"And you didn\'t take note of her company?" He asked.
"No sir." Dan-Han\'s eyes narrowed at him, and Chang-Wok feared for his life.
"Sir, they had only been four companies, and you reviewed and approved them. You.. had met with all the representatives too-"
"So why now are there five? And why does it have my signature on it?" He tossed the file at him.
"I.." Secretary Chang-wok clammed his mouth shut when he saw the death glare lingering in Dan-Han\'s eyes.
\'Why was he blaming him.\' He cried. He shouldn\'t be blamed for something he didn\'t do. Dan-Han was the big boss. He sighed the documents, so why was he faulting him now? Poor him. He lowered his head and looked at his shoes.
Dan-Han still couldn\'t understand what sort of foul play was going on. He had been surprised when Ji-Tae said he approved his investors contract. He would never do that, and just when he thought he might have approved it unknowingly, and should see this investor he received a shock. After seeing Nara, he was more certain that he\'d never do that. And when did she own a company?
He kept pondering how and when he had approved a deal with someone like that. That girl was the last person he wanted around him or his company. He had a lot of unfaithful people around him already, he didn\'t need evil and dangerously ambitious ones. His life had been quite messy lately, and he didn\'t need more stress at the moment.
He cringed when he realized what he had to do. "Set a meeting with her." He ordered.
But something else still bothered his mind. How had Ji-Tae brought her back in the first place? He had her visa revoked and her name put on a black list at the embassy, so how did he bring her back without him knowing? And why? For something like that to have been done, they needed someone powerful to help them. What the hell had Ji-Tae been up to?
Dan-Han didn\'t want to assume the worst of the boy, but he could feel something was off, and he was certain he couldn\'t have approved that deal. If he didn\'t, then who did?
He picked up his phone and dialled Tae-Ho\'s number.
"Boss." The man greeted.
"How\'s the madam doing?" Dan-Han asked. He was referring to Soomin.
"No changes boss. It seems she has gone into a relapse after the madam\'s death." He told him. Dan-Han fell silent for a while before he spoke again.
"Have you found anything on the Kim master, yet?" He asked.
"No."
"I want you to look into something for me. Find out what Ji-Tae has been doing in the last six months, including everyone he has been in contact with." He ordered.
"Yes, boss." Tae-Ho replied before Dan-Han disconnected the call. If Dan-Han was to admit to himself, he has been negligent of his duties lately and it seems a lot of things were eluding him, but not anymore.
He hopes nothing major has escaped his attention.
.....
The entire Su corporation was shocked when Hei-Ran arrived the company with her grandfather, and father. They had exchanged glances wondering what they were all doing there, most especially Hei-Ran, who walked with her shoulders squared and her chin confidently lifted up even though she was quite nervous.
But Grandfather Su\' announcement left them in deeper shock and threw the entire company in an uproar when he announced Hei-Ran as the new president of the company. The shareholders looked at each other in astonishment as they wondered what all these was all about.
"Chairman sir, we don\'t understand what\'s going on. Can you please tell us how Ms Eun-Sun suddenly becomes the newly appointed president of the company? And where is your other grand daughter, Ms A-Yeong?"
The others whispered among themselves after the man had asked his questions. Grandfather Su cleared his throat to get their attention. But before he could say something, Hei-Ran held his hand to stop him and stood up. She glanced at every face seated around the table with assertive eyes.
"I believe you all know me, either by name or by my previous scandal." She paused and they all looked among themselves before staring back at her.
"I\'m not here to play sentiments or give a manifesto as to why I should be approved by everyone of you, because you probably won\'t. And I know you\'re all seated here because of the prosperity Su Corps brings you and you\'d like to maintain the flow, and I have the skill and power to take this company to new heights and enrich all our pockets like never before."
"One month. One month is all I ask for to show you good results. And if I\'m not able to show any profitable results, I\'ll quit and never return to this company." She said. She carefully observed their faces and saw the contemplative looks on them.. She knew dangling money in front of the money mongers, and placing a time limit on herself was the surest way to lure them to her, and also lay a trap for the traitorous one seated among them, and would be the key to discovering the dirty deeds going on in the company.
