Chapter 893: The Meeting
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Yang’s visit to Korea was open and aboveboard. He did not hide anything and had a legitimate reason. Therefore, Lee Jaerong’s subordinates only had to investigate for a while before they got an accurate answer.
After getting the answer that he wanted, Lee Jaerong waved his hand, signaling for his subordinate to leave.
The subordinate hurriedly bowed and turned to leave.
However, just as he turned around, Lee Jaerong stopped him. “Have Mr. Park come here please.”
“Understood.”
A moment later, a gentleman with gold-rimmed glasses walked over.
Compared to the subordinate earlier, he was much more valued by Lee Jaerong. He came before Lee Jaerong and bowed slightly before sitting down.
Lee Jaerong did not mind and said, “Mr. Park, I called you here because I want to know your opinion on Su Yang.”
“Su Yang?”
The man named Mr. Park muttered this name and smiled. “A truly formidable character. He’s not inferior to the Old Master.”
The Old Master that Mr. Park was talking about was obviously the current CEO of Samsung. He had single-handedly brought Samsung to the world-class corporation, Lee Kunhee. This person could be considered a true hero. In the early stages of development, he had taken the initiative to approach the country and make use of it for his own development.
After reaching a certain level, the people who started to support themselves in the national management began to involve the management and implement policies that were more beneficial to them.
Gradually, through these methods, the country’s economy was tied to its own company, and it became a force that could not be eliminated. Thus, he truly became the person who controlled the country’s right to speak, and single-handedly created the Samsung Empire.
Under the shadow of his empire, even the president of the country had to bow when he saw him. Even if someone wanted to attack him and take advantage of weaknesses, they were all spared since they were not able to cause any real damage.
For example, they would be sentenced to two years in prison, but he would be paroled the next day.
Therefore, Mr. Park’s evaluation was pretty high.
Hearing Mr. Park’s evaluation, Lee Jaerong was not surprised. It was evident that he had a high evaluation of Su Yang in his heart, and Mr. Park only confirmed his thoughts.
He leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes to think.
After a while, he asked, “Could he have come here this time for us?”
Mr. Park replied, “There’s no evidence to prove this. In fact, he didn’t target any particular company when he was in Japan.”
Lee Jaerong nodded slightly and was about to go along with it when Mr. Park changed the subject and said, “But just because there’s no evidence doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Anyway, I really can’t think of anything in Korea that would attract him. Except... Samsung.”
Lee Jaerong opened his eyes, and his pupils narrowed. “What are the chances?”
Mr. Park thought for a while this time, then said, “10%.”
Lee Jaerong stopped talking. He did not ask for the reason. It was like he would believe everything Mr. Park said.
Then, the room fell silent...
10 minutes later, Lee Jaerong’s fingers tapped on the armrest of the sofa. One, two, three...
A dull sound echoed in the room...
“What is that person doing now?”
Lee Jaerong’s question came out of nowhere, but Mr. Park seemed to know who he was talking about. He answered without hesitation, “He’s still collecting evidence on us, it looks like he’s going to fight us to the death.”
Lee Jaerong asked, “Have you warned him?”
Mr. Park said, “It’s useless. He has already given up everything just to avenge his benefactor. No one can stop him.”
Lee Jaerong took a deep breath. This was not a simple matter to him.
“Why don’t we...” he said.
Mr. Park shook his head. “We can’t. This will cause a backlash from the national management. Right now, the entire national management is on our side and is isolating him. But if we tear through the last layer of cover, then we’ll be the ones being isolated.”
A hint of disdain appeared on Lee Jaerong’s face. “So what if they have fallen out with us? They are our dogs who are only humans because of the husk we’ve given them. Were they not dogs in the first place?”
Mr. Park said softly, “When there are too many dogs, they will bite. A little impatience will spoil great plans.”
Seeing that Lee Jaerong was still not satisfied, Mr. Park said, “Two more years, the next election is going to be coming soon, so be a little more patient.
“After he took over, other than settling the previous CEO, he did not do much else.
“The last time he succeeded was because of Lu Benxuan’s legacy. Now that he has no results, no one will stand on his side.”
At that point, Mr. Park paused and added, “He was able to inherit those resources because we forced Lu Benxuan to his death back then. Back then, Lu Benxuan had already resigned from his position as the president of the country, so he didn’t have to resort to such drastic measures.”
Lee Jaerong knew that Mr. Park was warning him, but he had heard this many times, and he did not want to hear it anymore. Therefore, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Mr. Park stopped his persuasion and sighed internally. He knew that this “master” of his was good in every way, even better than the old CEO in some aspects. However, he had one biggest flaw... Pride.
Unlike the old CEO who built his business from scratch, Lee Jaerong was already a famous tycoon in the country.
He had not experienced any setbacks since he was young, and that made him arrogant. However, these were all covered up by his humble performance, and no one noticed.
However, as his trusted aide, Mr. Park knew very well.
He had always felt that if something happened to Lee Jaerong one day, it was most likely because of this reason...
Without further persuasion, Mr. Park bid farewell to Lee Jaerong and left the room with Lee Jaerong’s nasal reply.
After he left, Lee Jaerong’s gaze lingered on Mr. Park’s back for a while. Then, he picked up the phone beside him and instructed, “Get Mr. Ahn here.”
A response came over the line. “Understood...”
...
In the blink of an eye, Su Yang had already spent two days in Korea.
For the past two days, Su Yang had been visiting and inspecting TTK according to the original plan. On the surface, he was trying to understand the operations and financial situation of TTK, but in reality, he was observing the company’s entire structure, as well as covering for the Clown Sea Serpent and Zhao Licheng.
While Su Yang was inspecting, he had already quietly had the Clown Sea Serpent and Zhao Licheng go ahead with their plans.
Their goal was simple and direct—to get in touch with someone. Someone who could risk everything to pull down the corporation.
This man was actually not that hard to find, but there were some difficulties in between. This man was easy to find because of his name, which almost every Korean knew because he could be seen on TV almost every night. However, the difficulty of this was that... No ordinary person could meet him because of his unusual status.
With Su Yang’s identity, he could have communicated with him directly. However, the things that Su Yang and him did were too dangerous. In a country that was full of tycoons and spies, it was best to be cautious before making any moves.
Fortunately, Su Yang had all sorts of magical items.
With the Clown Sea Serpent’s help, the person who would have wasted his talents if he was not a criminal, Su Yang was able to connect with the person easily with the help of special items.
Su Yang also sent out an invitation to meet this man after they were connected, and the other party did not reject him.
That night, with the help of the Clown Sea Serpent, the man avoided all the surveillance and spies and met Su Yang at a secret location.
The visitor was an old man in his 50s. His hair was white, but he was in good spirits. His face was very friendly, but his eyes gave off a strong pressure.
The first time Su Yang saw this person’s eyes, he knew that the person before him was someone who was ready to give it his all and would not give up until he achieved his goal.
As Su Yang thought about the other party’s past deeds, he could not help but feel emotional.
‘Sometimes, the quantity of friends doesn’t matter, what matters is whether there’s a single friend who’s willing to go against the whole world for you.’
Su Yang sat up from the sofa and shook hands with the person. “Mr. Yoon, good evening.”
