The Junk Dealer Makes Good Money

[Episode 137] Strategic Secretariat Team

The bodyguard consists of two teams of 20 people in total.

Each team was led by Lee Mu-yeol and Kim Seo-hwan.

Lee Mu-yeol, who received instructions from Si-woo Lee over the phone, told the resting security team.

“As of this time, the security team is an order from the CEO to switch to the secretarial team. Except for Kim Seo-hwan, the 2nd team leader, and two people, all bodyguards will return their equipment.”

Seohwan Kim tilted his head at the sudden story.

“Why are you suddenly switching to the secretarial team?”

“The mayor of Yongin asked the CEO to take charge of the incineration plant investigation team. Perhaps you will accept the request?”

“really? What’s wrong with savvy people? Leave it to the outside to dig up the secrets of the organization.”

“Because it is a social problem. You choose the two.”

“Well, if you want to do an investigation, you better switch to the secretarial team who know the waste well. I’ll figure it out on my own.”

Nuri’s bodyguards were not ordinary.

In the beginning, when Lee Mu-yeol and Kim Seo-hwan formed a security team, there was one thing that they made a promise to.

I didn’t want to make it just for the purpose of protecting Siwoo Lee.

In order to use it more diversely, talented people who stand out in each department belonged to the bodyguard.

“That team leader, then what will the non-site team do?”

There was a team that directly guarantees Si-Woo Lee’s safety on the spot, and a non-field team that delivers various information from the office.

“Non-site teams are also converted into secretarial teams. We have to find the hidden material.”

“Yes, then, shall we proceed with the data investigation in advance?”

“We started investigating both Suwon and Yongin incinerators. Did you hear the conversation between the CEO and the mayor of Yongin?”

“yes. I have completed my stay.”

Siwoo Lee gave an instruction.

It was believed that Lee Moo-yeol would be responsible for the rest of the staffing.

“Moojin-ah, you also return the equipment and join the non-site team.”

“Why do you think the bodyguards are gradually turning into a hybrid group? Is this right?”

“Isn’t it all over already? Don’t hesitate and stick with it, Manager Yeom Mu-jin.”

“Ah, I guess I’ll just be by Director Jin’s side. I just came as a security team.”

At the sight of the grumbling man, Lee Moo-yeol smiled.

Mujin Yeom learned various things from Eunsoo Jin during her one year in the accounting team.

It had only been about a month since Lee Mu-yeol’s scouting proposal passed the Holadang and transferred to the security team.

“And why did my rank go down? My original job title was Deputy Chief!”

“If you want to inquire, you can ask the CEO directly.”

“Are you saying that now? ha, yes… If your boss asks you to, do it. What kind of power does the person below have? … .”

“I don’t think that’s what you mean?”

As an accountant for the security team, he was a guy who even nagged about eating because he had to reduce the team’s expenses for a month.

He has often threatened Lee Moo-yeol to reduce the team leader’s activity expenses.

In fact, the number one ranking in the security team has become Mu-Jin Yeom, not Mu-Yeol Lee.

“If you think that the motive is only going to eat you up… Ugh, I am patient because of you.”

“I will literally pass it on to the representative.”

“… Can’t you even joke?”

Mujin Yeom put down the equipment he was given while working with a taser gun and a field team with a grim expression.

Although he had a brash and harsh personality, he couldn’t move when Lee Si-woo’s name came up.

“Senior is not good for the team leader, is it?”

Jinho Seon, the youngest member of the security team, shook his head and said to Mujin Yeom.

Mujin Yeom frowned at his words and pulled out a notebook.

“Jinho, do you know how much snacks you eat per month? Does the CEO sit comfortably and earn money?”

“sorry.”

“Before you cut down on snacks, you too, ma’am!”

Mujin Yeom and Jinho Sun were one set.

Because his adjutant was Jinho Seon.

Lee Moo-yeol shook his head at the sight of the two people grumbling and heading to the non-site team.

Seo-hwan Kim, who was watching the two of them, asked.

“How is it that he pecks only the kids all month? Was it the right decision to bring Mujin?”

“Still, you are doing your job well. He is strict, but he is also an employee of Nuri who works for the CEO.”

“It is, but… By the way, the security team will select two children in charge of scrap metal.”

As Mujin Yeom said, the bodyguard team was selected from people with various histories.

They also selected those who moved at the scrap metal site.

He also selected employees who were in charge of administrative tasks, such as Mujin Yeom.

“No fever, I think I’m going to die.”

Jin Se-hwa, the team leader in charge of the non-site team and Lee Mu-yeol’s motive, grabbed the myeongchi and drank the water.

“Did you have a drink with Jeongnan again? I’m going to cut down on some drinks.”

“I lamented that Hyunsoo didn’t listen… … .”

“No, why are you meddling in a love fight between two people?”

“It felt like we were fighting every day because our work overlapped.”

Although they were each with a different age, they never used the titles of older brother or older sister.

Everyone was called by their first name or title.

“If Hyeon-soo continues to be sensitive to Jeong-nan, tell him. I will be assigned to the bodyguard team.”

“Then you might be more tired?”

“… … .”

Currently, there were five motives of Lee Moo-yeol in the security team.

Seo-hwan Kim, Mu-jin Yeom, and Se-hwa Jin and Seok-hwan Ko, who is away from work.

“But when did the investigation start?”

“After the meeting with the mayor of Suwon is over, maybe he will move right away?”

“I’ll tell Seok-hwan.”

* * *

Yongin, Suwon Mayor, and Lee Si-woo face-to-face were simple.

The place was Nuri Recycling.

“Have you thought about it, sir?”

Baek Cheon-gi, who was neatly dressed and sitting on a chair in the conference hall, asked Si-woo Lee.

“The mayor’s request, I will accept it.”

Baek Cheon-gi’s expression was colored with joy at Lee Si-woo’s decision.

And Park Sang-soo, unaware of this situation, tilted his head.

“Senior, what did you ask the representative for?”

“I asked you to investigate the Yongin waste incinerator, Mayor Park.”

Originally, there was something Park Sang-soo wanted to ask Lee Si-woo on this occasion.

Currently, Siwoo Lee was the most famous among the representatives of companies that deal with waste in Korea.

The status of Nuri recycling has gradually increased.

Therefore, Park Sang-soo was thinking of Lee Si-woo as the right person to take charge of the investigation into the corruption of the waste incinerator.

And it was the same with a hundred thousand prayers.

“this… The sunbaenim first asked the CEO what I was going to suggest. Taking charge of the investigation of the Yongin waste incinerator and the Suwon waste incinerator… … .”

Lee Si-woo shook his head at Park Sang-soo’s powerless voice.

“We can also conduct the investigation of the Suwon waste incinerator together, sir.”

“… Are you okay?”

“Yes, it is fine. Instead, I want you to give me the authority to form an investigation team.”

“Hmm, do you mean that you want to conduct a thorough investigation?”

“The members of Nuri’s strategic secretary’s office will move with me.”

It was the first time I’d heard of an organization called Nuri’s Strategic Secretariat.

While Baek Cheon-ki expressed his doubts, Park Sang-soo’s expression hardened.

“Is this the CEO’s will to properly conduct the investigation?”

“As a representative of a waste management company, we cannot stand by watching the public’s perceptions deteriorate. The public’s perception will change only when this issue is corrected more thoroughly and transparently.”

Baek Cheon-gi looked at Park Sang-soo’s mysterious expression as if he knew something about the strategic secretary’s office.

“You seem to know about Nouri’s strategic secretary, Mayor Park.”

“Senior, do you remember the illegal dumping of waste six months ago, which cost 10 billion won?”

There was an organization that rented out local land, threw away the waste, and ran away.

At that time, the damage was over 10 billion won, and the social impact was severe.

“I don’t remember. Wasn’t it a lot of noise at that time that the amount of damage exceeded 10 billion won?”

“Actually, the case was also assigned to the Suwon Prosecutor’s Office. As it caused a huge social impact, the mayor, too, was watching the investigation with interest.”

“At that time, it is a famous anecdote that Mayor Park did an investigation without leaving work for a week.”

Suwon Mayor Park Sang-soo made great efforts to deal with large-scale incidents that took place all over the country.

But it was neither the prosecution nor the police that caught the organization.

“Outside it was reported that the prosecution had cleared the organization that was responsible for the case, but the reality is different.”

“Didn’t the prosecution clear the organization?”

“It’s embarrassing, but the prosecution couldn’t even handle the case. At that time, it was Nuri’s strategic secretarial team that caught the illegal waste dumping organization.”

At the words of Park Sang-soo, Baek Cheon-gi looked at Lee Si-woo, who was sipping coffee.

“You knew it, Mayor.”

“I have also received a report about Nuri’s strategic secretary’s office.”

“If you know, I will tell you. When the results of the investigation come out, the headwinds will probably be huge. Perhaps even the positions of the mayors are at risk.”

“… I was so determined. However, it is impossible to keep an eye on the illegal behavior of the organization forever.”

Moongrass-

Siwoo Lee, who put down his coffee cup, got up and walked to the window.

“Keep this in mind. I have no intention of scrutinizing this in vain.”

“I am asking the CEO to do a more thorough investigation and correct the ailment. I will take care of the rear. So, the representative only needs to conduct the investigation thoroughly.”

Still, Si-woo Lee’s request for an interview was a savior to Park Sang-soo.

The work of the incinerator was a problem that would someday explode.

However, it was difficult to correct the system of the incinerator.

It was customary to wrap my family inside the organization.

Even if the city conducted its own investigation, citizens did not accept the results of the investigation as it is.

“good. Then I will take the lead of the investigation team and proceed with the investigation.”

* * *

“The official announcement was made sooner than expected.”

The non-site team members were all looking at the monitor together.

An Internet article was floating on the monitor.

Mu-jin Yeom was scanning the article as he put the cookie in his mouth, and Jin-ho Shin, who was looking at him quietly, opened his mouth.

“But your senior always works as if there’s nothing to fear, so why can’t you say anything about the CEO?”

Mu-jin Yeom was famous for her character of making a joke (?) to those who belonged to the security team.

Apart from that, the ability to take control of the security team within a month was worthy of recognition.

As he joined the security team, unnecessary expenses were drastically reduced.

But he also had weaknesses.

“Then are you going to talk to the representative? You call that a question?”

“No, because the person who even tells the deputy chief to reduce the cost of the activity doesn’t say anything about the cost of the activity that the president uses.”

“No one can touch the cost of the representative’s activities. There should be no one in Nuri who can argue with what the CEO is doing.”

“It is, but… … .”

Even when he was in the accounting team, Mujin Yeom was a very famous person.

He was the one who told the directors and each representative to cut costs without hesitation.

‘Who knew? I thought my parents would be deceived.’

Mujin Yeom’s parents, who are farmers, experienced a major scam six months ago.

They wanted to make money by renting out the land in winter rather than making fun of it.

His parents rented it out like that, and he turned off his attention, and then he got into a big mess.

When spring came and I looked at the leased land again, it was because it was full of waste.

‘Crazy people… Hundreds of tons of waste piled up on the land… … .’

It is unfortunate that I was scammed, and the city even issued an administrative order to dispose of the waste that had accumulated on the ground.

Reluctantly, his parents confessed the fact to Mujin Yeom, who works at Nuri.

The estimated cost of the local waste treatment company was about 400 million won.

But his parents couldn’t pay the huge cost.

“What kind of person do you think the CEO is?”

“You are such a good person. I was a non-regular worker, but he made me a full-time employee, and he also supported me so that I could settle down in Nuri.”

“okay. Most of Nuri’s employees received great help from the CEO. Can such a person really have an employee who can be enormous?”

“… there wouldn’t be. It shouldn’t even exist.”

When Mu-jin Yeom heard about this from her parents, she burst into anger.

I was so angry that I couldn’t get things out of my hands all day.

Seeing his unusual appearance, Si-woo Lee first asked what was going on, and Mu-jin Yeom told the truth.

After hearing the news, Siwoo Lee disposed of the waste dumped on his parents’ land for a month.

He helped Mujin Yeom’s parents unconditionally, at a loss for huge transportation and waste disposal costs.

And after disposing of the waste, they found those who dumped it illegally, saying that there are people who should be paid.

At that time, Mu-jin Yeom found out about an organization called the Strategic Secretariat.

“The representative is the person who actively took care of our parents’ work. That’s when I made a promise.”

I will give Siwoo more money than the cost of the loss.

To Mujin Yeom, who was sorry, Siwoo Lee said this.

‘You don’t have to worry about family matters. Saying thank you is enough.’

He was the only person who recognized his worth as a mere non-regular worker.

I vowed to make Nuri the best for Siwoo Lee.

So, I did my best to keep my position.

“What promise?”

“I promise to make you the best.”

In fact, the reason he moved to the security team was not because of Lee Mu-yeol’s scouting proposal.

This is because Siwoo Lee wanted him to be a member of the security team and take charge of the accounts.

“The Strategic Secretariat Team is an essential organization for the CEO. Don’t try to make a fuss, and learn directly from me. Do you understand?”

“yes! Seniors.”
