Chapter 264 – -263- Beyond GK Group, Beyond the World (1)

GK’s new headquarters was famous for its extremely futuristic design.

A majestic skyscraper with a sophisticated appearance that harmoniously combines artificial and natural light, and a magnificent skyscraper in the center that has broken countless world records.

Even before its completion, the building was so popular that it became a national landmark.

The huge size and majesty were not just themes limited to the outdoors.

As I entered the building, I was greeted by an interior full of the taste of current chairman Kang Soo-ah.

The interior is grand enough to feel a little excessive, and in contrast, the decoration is extremely simple.

The floor height is so high that just standing there makes you feel a little intimidated.

The arrangement of space so generous that it felt like a waste was a result of her bloated ego.

I deserved it. Because she has achieved an incredible amount in her 30s.

We developed a service that creates the most added value in the world and successfully built a business.

By showing the miracle of a single company changing the national ranking within a few years, she went on to write a legend that no one else could write as an entrepreneur.

Well, only a few people know that this miraculous victory was achieved by sucking on the corpse of a genius.

The walls and pillars, decorated with flawless ivory marble, seemed heavy and solid, emphasizing her authority.

After passing through a long, long hallway, her office was located on the top floor of a tall tower that seemed to pierce the clouds.

No matter how much she thought about it, it wasn’t an efficient space arrangement, but she loved the view from this floor.

Outside the window, where only clouds and sky were visible, reminded me of the sense of omnipotence that everything in sight was beneath my feet.

In the office, Kang Soo-ah praised one of her employees in her friendly, friendly voice.

“… It’s an impressive achievement. You’re amazing, Mr. Se-ryeong.”

“Thank you, Chairman.”

Chairman Kang Soo-ah, who is stingy when it comes to praising others and rarely shows her emotions on her face, poured out compliments with a happy smile.

She felt like she wanted a hug, not a compliment. In a position given to him without much expectation, the timid-looking employee in front of him created tremendous additional benefits.

“I’m being sincere. Honestly, I didn’t expect to achieve these results in a managerial position with little authority.”

Kang Soo-ah rested her butt on the luxurious leather chair and thought about the annoying AI.

A control AI that is irritatingly obsessed with ethics and morals and refuses to be controlled.

GK was making money with virtual reality, but it was not actually holding the leash of virtual reality.

Is it because Jeong Jin-hyuk clumsily put together the last things he left behind? Although the control AI had tremendous performance, it was uncooperative with GK’s control.

Are there one or two missed business opportunities due to stupid AI that only talks about user rights, corporate responsibility, and minimal self-regulation?

After completing the virtual world as GK requested, the control AI refused anyone’s interference.

This virtual world resisted all control, claiming that it was safe and perfect only when placed under his own supervision, without the interference of others.

It was as if a stubborn artist was insisting on not adding any brush strokes to the finished work.

The reality that even her profit model was not her own, and that she had to do only what the AI ​​had decided in advance, felt very oppressive to her.

‘I wasn’t including principles like [User protection]…!’

As much as she felt frustrated, the employee who had beaten the control AI seemed pretty in her eyes.

“I’m not saying this to show off, I’m sincere. What those incompetent development team bastards couldn’t do, Ms. Seryeong did it on her own.”

“That’s too much praise. Luckily, we found a way to bypass the control AI’s restrictions and access the user’s information. Besides…”

In a slightly nervous voice, she confessed that she had inevitably broken the law in the process.

At her subordinate’s confession, she curled up the corners of her mouth and chuckled.

“… You violated the Personal Information Protection Act or the special law on virtual world service providers countless times?”

“Yes, but…”

To Lee Se-ryeong, who was flustered as if his mistake had been pointed out, she smiled and reassured him.

“Oh my gosh, did you feel like I was trying to blame you?”

“Yes?”

“Think about it carefully, Se-ryeong. How much benefit did you bring to the company in return for breaking those stupid rules?”

“. Well, I just did what I was told.”

“Hehe, this is an achievement that far exceeded my expectations, right? Seryeong was able to open a sales channel in China based on the connections she made in the virtual world and the information she collected.”

“Well, Lin helped me a lot…”

“Well, if it wasn’t for Ms. Seryeong, wouldn’t you have known that the user named ‘Lin Mei-lin’ is the banned daughter of a high-ranking Communist Party member?”

It was entirely thanks to this seemingly weak employee that he had the opportunity to sell trillions of won worth of goods into a huge market.

“And, after all, it was Miss Se-ryeong who created such a special friendship with Mr. Lin. I am proud of it.”

The huge Chinese market generously accommodated the influx of expensive products, to the point where production facilities could not keep up with demand even if they ran day and night.

“Furthermore, I heard that the number of customers for the Phoenix Project has greatly increased thanks to Ms. Se-ryeong’s help.”

There were rich people all over the wide continent who wanted to start a new life.

With the wealth obtained by exploiting the people, they wanted to enjoy a new life by acquiring a beautiful body resembling a god.

GK willingly accepted their ugly desires and gained enormous wealth in return.

She felt a great sense of satisfaction from her rising stock and her increasing authority.

“From now on, don’t be caught up in the morals of such a weak person. The company will protect you. Just, Se-ryeong, just do your best for the company’s interests like now.”

It was a tone that was both arrogant and maddening, but Lee Se-ryeong did not feel any discomfort.

Because she was serving someone who was more violent and arrogant than Kang Soo-ah. This attitude was familiar.

“… I will keep this in mind”

Kang Soo-ah was looking at her with satisfaction as she answered with a loyal expression.

‘Better than those disgusting pigs?’

He was a much better talent than those disgusting old males who often made noise, raised their heads stiffly, and whined to secure their own interests.

They are filthy greedy people who are extremely incompetent and only want a lot.

If they hadn’t been accomplices in ‘that incident’, they would have been kicked out a long time ago.

‘… Now that I think about it, those pigs are quiet these days?’

She thought about those idiots for a moment.

President Kim, a bald fat pig, is so busy these days that he doesn’t even go to work.

The person who seemed to have completely changed his personality after receiving counseling a few times, watched videos of his daughter all day? I heard that they only edit it.

He cared so much for his family that he did not allow anyone to see his work.

‘I won, how much I pamper you…’

I heard that he decided to spend more time ‘recording the happy scenes of his family’… Well, I didn’t know he was that family-oriented.

The president of GK Security, who was spouting nonsense like it was a prophecy of a brave shaman or a ghost, looked sick somewhere.

It was a fitting punishment for a guy who was spouting illogical and stupid things about how dangerous the GK group was.

A skinny body with only the belly sticking out, like a horse that has been drunk. And the somewhat dark and dull look in his eyes was too pathetic to be called the CEO of a security company.

He, who occasionally went to work with a body that looked like he was about to die, was now taking sick leave and resting at home with his wife.

Both of them were resting, leaving the work to their successors.

However, the two people’s sabotage actually had a positive effect on the group as a whole.

Is it because the interference from incompetent people who came up for something other than their skills has disappeared?

Both GK Bio and Security showed overwhelmingly higher growth rates than when they had full control.

From what I heard, the ‘Phoenix Project’ has made great progress since his successor took over.

The ‘personality transfer’ task, which previously required dozens of highly qualified personnel to undertake on a yearly basis, was now accomplished in an instant.

‘In the past, I heard that the speed was impossible unless the original personality was split apart… But the progress is amazing.’

Thanks to this technological innovation, the abandoned ‘Clone Trooper’ project was also being studied by GK Security again.

Chairman Kang was very happy to see the positive changes that occurred as soon as the two annoying obstacles disappeared.

‘… Maybe now is a chance to kick those idiots out’

Chairman Kang felt even better at the thought that the rotten branches that he had originally planned to cut off were starting to crumble and fall off on their own.

“If you continue to give your all for the company, GK will reward you accordingly. That is what I, Kang Soo-ah, want.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you, Chairman.”

“Oh, wait a minute. Before I go… Where was it? Ah, it was here. Take it.”

Kang Soo-ah rummaged through the drawer for a moment and threw a small object at Lee Se-ryeong.

Se-ryeong Lee picked up the key that had fallen to her chest with an ahh sound and asked back with a blank expression.

“… Ugh, ah, that… Car key…? Why that…”

” [A suitable compensation]. Don’t worry about taxes or insurance, use it however you want.”

With one of her eyes squinting, she gave a huge reward to Lee Se-ryeong, whom she had marked as her ‘person.’

“Ah… Thank you! Chairman!”

Lee Se-ryeong, who received a gift worth hundreds of millions of dollars, was showing a somewhat subtle reaction, perhaps because she did not feel reality.

‘Hmm, more than I thought. Do you not like material rewards? Hmm, if you value career or reputation more… Well, there are many ways to do that.”

She finished her conversation with Se-ryeong Lee, thinking that she should give her a reward that she would like next time.

***

Inside the elevator, Lee Se-ryeong smiled while looking at the shiny car keys.

The keys to a luxury car with her horse on them didn’t give her much satisfaction.

“… Well, if I have this, I can go get fucked by my master faster…♥”

For bitch Lee Se-ryeong, the most important reward is neither material nor spiritual. Because it is only physical pleasure given by the Master♥
