Absolute Advantage Chapter 78.2

Fortunately, Chairman Seo also changed the subject to a rather calm voice, as she knew that it was not something to be solved by acting emotionally.

– So, what are you going to do in the future?

“I've set up a team of competent lawyers. It will take some time, but eventually he will be acquitted.”

The chairman answered calmly. Honestly, he wasn't confident inside.

How many Korean conglomerates are not involved in stock price manipulation? It's just the difference between being caught or not. The problem was that Joo Dong-min was clumsy since he was young. No matter what he did, he never finished it properly.

'That's why he must have been caught for leaking evidence like this.'

He clicked his tongue.

How much do I have to lobby to ask this? His eyes became blurry. Well, money is a way.

The basics of lobbying are, after all, connections. In that regard, the vice chairman could have had to borrow the power of Chairman Seo.

“Don't worry too much, Chairman Seo. We'll finish it well on our side.”

– The results aren't important right now.

“What?”

– If we investigate in the future, not only JS Steel but also other holding companies will be exposed. Are you clean? Where's your second brother? There's no one who doesn't get dusted off.

Chairman Seo seemed to have completely lost trust in JS Group due to the media report. He was choked up.

Don't tell me the prosecution is investigating the entire JS group. It was enough to prevent the fire from spreading.

What a blatant disregard for him.

– Yeah, you better be clean. We'll be lucky enough to move on.

– But isn't the second son of the family the same company as the third son? We must prevent JS Steel's president and vice president from being handcuffed side by side by side by side.

Chairman Seo added, giving strength to her voice.

– To protect a tree, you have to cut off a few rotten branches.

Rotten branches.

Ellie's presence suddenly crossed the vice chairman's mind.

Chairman Seo was a really scary woman. She cut off her daughter who caused trouble like a rotten branch to save the Seohwa group.

“I'll keep that in mind,”

Tut.

Chairman Seo hung up the phone first. The vice chairman closed his embarrassed mouth. His face was reflected on the screen showing the call time.

He felt ten years older.

'I'm glad if that's the case.'

Chairman Seo confirmed that she had no intention of breaking the engagement over this incident, so he avoided the worst. But the wedding schedule would be pushed back as a close investigation will begin soon with JS Steel.

Sure enough, soon after, Chairman Seo's agent came.

“Vice Chairman Joo. Chairman Seo asked me to check the new contract. Other than extending the wedding indefinitely, there has been no significant change. However.”

“But?”

“She asked you to agree to delegate all the decisions related to this political marriage to her.”

“……I will.”

The Vice Chairman signed the contract without hesitation. In that way, all the decisions on the wedding date, location, and guests were handed over to Chairman Seo.

'I must have been branded as a very incompetent person by Chairman Seo.'

He pressed down on the deepening brow.

But is pride a big deal?

In order to take control of the entire JS group in the future, Chairman Seo's power was needed. So he had to put up with it a little more.

There will be a chance for a counterattack.

“I can't believe I'm playing with the media at this critical time…….” Chairman Seo muttered.

Sera carefully opened her mouth while examining her mother's face. But the contents of it were not rough.

“Let's pretend it didn't happen at this time.”

“Are you saying to break the engagement?” Chairman Seo mechanically asked back. Sera quickly continued.

“If we are in-laws with a family that can't even cover up articles like this, our future is clear. He'll open his hands and cause us trouble every time.”

“So I'm going to keep his company beside even more.”

“What?”

“JS Group is one of the few conglomerates whose major businesses do not overlap with Seohwa. The profit when absorbed cannot be converted into an amount.”

Chairman Seo leaned her back on the chair, loosening her fingers. Then she raised her chin in a pompous manner.

“He is a child far short of his father Joo Pil-tae. He's the head of JS now, and you want me to miss this opportunity?”

Sera was startled.

Her mother was right.

Rather, the incident showed how poor the JS Group's ability to respond to the crisis.

Even if you are a beast, it is easy to hunt a baby who is neglected by his parents. Bite it before it becomes an adult and get fat.

That was Chairman Seo's plan.

“I was too narrow-minded.”

“No, Sera, it's not unreasonable for you to worry. I understand.”

Chairman Seo shook her head lightly.

“Well, what are you going to do in the future?”
