The Engagement Was Broken Off at the Wedding Hall

“…Ha.”

Sh Sunsal Construction.

This incident, which was later called the kickback incident, became more and more problematic the more I looked at it and the more it was sold.

If you ask where the problem starts, you could say it starts from the beginning.

“Is this…Can it be like this?”

First, gather investors.

Collaboration with other companies is essential as it is not easy to build a building in the first place.

Next, we look for people who would like to buy an apartment that has not been built yet.

A sniping sales strategy by Koreans who buy buildings based on the location, not the building itself.

So far so good. Let’s say we can get this far.

“Even if I escape, I escape too much.”

First, we received money to build a building.

Now all that follows is erecting the building.

However, in addition to the lack of manpower, labor costs are high, and the cost of rebar and concrete is quite expensive.

This is all done to make money, but wouldn’t it be better to lower the price as much as possible?

That is why we subcontract.

Find people who will do it for ‘less than’ a certain amount.

In reality, there are people who say it is impossible, but they say they can do it.

Then, will they build buildings by maximizing their limited resources?

No, no.

Subcontract after subcontract.

It goes down to the next subcontract in succession.

As a result, a miraculous subcontracting structure is created in which the amount of money actually used is overwhelmingly less than the investment.

So what is the result?

It is pure death. It’s not some kind of chicken.

‘A vicious cycle that turns you crazy.’

This probably means that you have already received all the money you deserve.

This subcontracting strategy is even advantageous for cutting tails.

This country’s laws state that when an incident occurs, it must be blamed on the person responsible.

For example, if a worker collapses after working 18 hours, or if it turns out to be a construction project that kills him, the company has to pay for all of this.

But would you want to resign from your position with such responsibilities as Sh or S?

In the end, leaving it to a subcontractor to cast the tail cut is largely for that reason.

“……Write.”

About 2 weeks.

I ran to the subcontractor directly.

Of course, I didn’t show the entire tax report right away, but I gave the workers a bottle of alcohol and estimated the approximate price of rebar, concrete, and labor costs.

As a result, this is the document in my hand.

Sh Boneless Construction, how much of this land construction project was structured by eating raw food.

This is a report and outlook book that exposes these issues one by one.

Situations that are so negative that they are hopeless.

The negative impact this will bring and the future of the company that will endure it.

It was a decisive battle weapon created by capturing and writing down things that were directly seen in the future.

“Fuuu….”

Will it work?

I don’t know.

But I had to try.

At least humans should not have nodded their heads in approval toward this other construction project.

And

“…You haven’t shown that to the other employees yet, have you?”

“Yes…?”

Money makes people not human.

“Let’s stay still. Or do you want to go down this time? If you’ve seen this far, he seems quite interested.”

“No…That’s not what it means now!”

It shouldn’t be like this.

This kind of thing shouldn’t happen.

You can do it.

Anyway, all the politicians over there are making loopholes behind their backs, but I don’t think this kind of thing won’t happen even if it’s our company.

‘But there is still a degree…’

I was greedy.

The level of greed was enough to create an incident.

“It’s okay. I did this a few times when I was there, but somehow it ended well.”

I may have been conceited.

He may have been arrogant.

“It’s not like this for a day or two. They’ll do well.”

You may have been complacent and thought that this time it would be just like the last time.

“At least no harm will come to us, so think at ease.”

Isn’t that why the manager also says this?

I don’t know what’s inside the Holy Grail.

You cannot notice it until you drink it directly or the poison inside comes out.

That is correct. Because I’ve done that before and it’s ruined.

“Still, this case is too serious.”

But now?

I know. We know that it is not a poisoned chalice, but a basin overflowing with poison.

The beautiful pattern of the Holy Grail was no longer visible. All that is visible is a curse soaked in purple poison.

There is no way you could drink something like this unless you are quite crazy.

“Is it that scary to become a man?”

“Yes…?”

“In the first place, business involves a certain amount of risk, Hyunseong.”

“No…What is that….”

However, the manager says.

It’s okay. Drink it up.

“And to put it bluntly, what power do we have? Ah, but don’t even think about blowing the whistle. Nothing will change if you do that, and I’ve seen many people who act so righteously and then fall for it.”

“…Chief.”

“I’m telling you this because I’m like a son. When you bow, you should bow appropriately.”

“…………”

It was only then that I saw it with my own two eyes.

The manager had already drunk poison.

A person who has already dipped his toes in a swamp once, drinking from a poisoned chalice.

For someone who has already drank poison once and survived, poison no longer appears to be poison.

Like a puffer fish. If you eat it well, you might think it tastes better.

“Still… Just keep this document with you. Just in case.”

“….I understand.”

The returning manager.

I leaned my back against the rooftop wall for a moment and looked up at the sky.

‘…In a way, it’s natural.’

Can you not know unless you are blind?

In the end, it probably means that I skipped over it even though I knew everything.

“….Okay.”

In the end, everything that explodes explodes.

It is a trend of the future that I cannot change.

In that case, shouldn’t we at least change the victim?

“Hyunseong. I told you before, but I’m not your type—huh?”

I called the assistant manager to the rooftop.

“Sh land construction case? I never asked for it…Documents, seal…”

The face becomes increasingly serious as the pages of the document are turned.

The area around my eyes, which had been loose, trembles and becomes tense.

Concentrating on work.

“……Whew.”

About 10 minutes.

After carefully reviewing the documents, the assistant manager returned them to me.

“Don’t do anything you’re not told to do.”

“Sir.”

No.

He didn’t call me here to hear that.

“Do you want to sell short? I was talking about stocks with my manager these days. I guess he got into stocks?”

“Sir!”

“You know that if a strange wind blows and you do something strange, it will end in a strange way, right?”

“…………”

Conversation is not working.

No, there was no conversation at all.

‘Why?’

If you are the assistant manager.

If this is Tae-ri’s assistant manager, you would know.

“If you’re going to fall, Mr. Hyunseong, fall alone.”

“…What is the reason?”

This is poison.

A poison that goes away when you drink it.

And yet, why drink something like this?

“…It’s promotion time soon, right?”

“…………..”

─There is.

There it is.

“I needed to fight with Assistant Manager Choi, but I was missing one thing. Seeing as that one thing has come up, this is definitely an opportunity for me.”

“…And then something big happens.”

“You have to take that level of risk.”

“No…No…Haaa.”

I can’t hear you.

The taste was already in my eyes.

‘I see.’

I thought I knew why the future assistant manager ended up being an assistant manager.

Because I already broke down once.

Because I got greedy and fell hard.

That’s why I wasn’t too greedy. Marriage was also a reason for marrying a man from a small business.

Without being greedy

Doing your best in your role

Assistant Manager Lee Tae-ri, who does everything ‘in moderation’.

At the time, I thought I had some freedom as time passed, but that wasn’t the case.

‘I guess I gave up.’

Because it was bent.

Because I fell so far that I couldn’t even breathe.

That’s why I don’t dare to spread my wings again.

Just do your best with what you are given and be satisfied with it.

On the outside, sincere

But inside, the words are a burnt-out pile of ashes with broken ambition, broken hopes, and complacency with reality.

“……………………….”

What should I do?

How should I do this?

Should I just leave it like this?

You probably won’t listen even if you say it a hundred days and a thousand times.

Because people who are burning with ambition cannot stop.

But if you leave it as is….

“But…Thank you, Hyunseong.”

“Yes?”

A sudden thank you.

“I’ll buy you a drink later.”

“…………”

I slowly closed my eyes.

Mr. Lee.

Assistant Manager Lee Tae-ri.

Once a boss and

A former colleague and

My subordinate was more reliable than ever.

When I was my boss, he continued to teach me.

When we were colleagues, he held us steady and

When I was a subordinate, he supported me so I wouldn’t fall.

“…Oh, don’t be mistaken. I don’t like Hyunseong. I plan to meet a better man than Hyunseong.”

“I know. The assistant manager hates me.”

“Huh…..?”

I stood up from my seat.

I said as I passed Tae-ri.

“Still, I don’t hate you. About Tae-ri.”

“..Wh..What──?!!”

I closed the rooftop door and went down.

‘Because I have already received enough.’

Now, it was my turn to give it back.

Like that

Sh construction application day.

─Zaaa!!

“…You piece of trash.”

I was slapped by this assistant manager.

“……………………….”

I was prepared, but.

It felt more painful than I thought.

********************************

─Zaaa!

“….Jiyeon.”

“It’s too much.”

Tingling.

It hurts.

But it’s even more ridiculous than that.

“You don’t trust me? Am I that untrustworthy?”

“…………”

Jeon-yi yells.

Still… I still couldn’t understand the value of the card swiped on my cell phone.

5,273,990 Won.

This is the amount recorded in just one day.

What happened just one day after I handed over the card and bankbook to Jiyeon.

I really wanted to know the truth about this… But Jiyeon’s condition made no sense.

“Are you going to abandon me like that bastard Yoo Hyeon-seong? I’m carrying your child too, and I came this far just because I love you, and now I’m in your arms, that’s it!”

“That’s not what I meant─”

“Then why are you suspicious instead of loving me?”

“…………”

I had nothing to say.

I couldn’t say anything or say anything.

Just silence continues.

After pouring out for so long, Jiyeon finally relaxed her voice.

“I’m sorry oppa…I was so scared…!”

“…..Okay.”

Jiyeon being held in my arms.

Jiyeon whispers as she quietly hugs her.
