Chapter 310 – 310. Yeonhee’S Proposal

After returning to the mansion from our trip, everyone was exhausted, so we decided to rest individually and have a peaceful day.

“It was supposed to be our first monumental trip together, but all I remember is having sex…”

Not only at the villa, but also on private and public beaches, and even in the city, all we did was non-stop exposure training and sex, so that’s all I remember.

“Well, it was fun, so I guess it’s okay…”

It didn’t feel like a trip, more like a sex excursion, but since it was enjoyable, I decided it was fine. As I was relaxing in my room, someone came to visit.

“Excuse me, Juhyun-nim.”

“Oh, what’s up?”

It was Yeonhee who came to my room. Unlike the rest of us who went straight to rest, she came with documents, probably having been dealing with pending work.

“I came to give you a heads-up about the upcoming department reorganization.”

“Department reorganization?”

“Yes, there will be a company-wide reorganization of some departments soon, and Sales Team 3, where you belong, will also be included.”

“So, everyone will be split up?”

“No… Team Leader Kim Miyoung, Jisoo, and Sojin will be moving together.”

I was a bit taken aback by the sudden talk of department reorganization, but as long as I wasn’t separated from those three, it didn’t seem like a big deal.

“But why the sudden reorganization?”

“It was about time for a department reorganization anyway… but after hearing what Jisoo suggested recently, we decided to include Team 3 in the reorganization.”

“Jisoo?”

She’s not bad at her job, but she doesn’t have much passion for it. She usually just does her own work without trying too hard, so I was a bit surprised that she proposed something that would lead to a department reorganization.

“Yes, it was quite helpful for you, Juhyun-nim, so we decided to confirm and proceed with the reorganization.”

“Helpful to me? What is it?”

Yeonhee is the type to think things through, so she wouldn’t do anything that would disadvantage me, but I didn’t understand why this department reorganization would be helpful.

“I’ve determined that it would be difficult for your achievements to be fully recognized if you stay in the current department.”

“Well… I guess that’s true…”

In Sales Team 3, where I currently belong, Team Leader Miyoung is the one who leads almost everything.

The other team members work hard too, but she’s the one who achieves most of the results. I’ve been here for a while, but I’m still only doing basic tasks.

“In order for you to be recognized by the Chairman enough to inherit the company later, you need to achieve significant results, so we’re planning this department reorganization.”

“Me inheriting the company… that’s a bit…”

Yeonhee, my mother-in-law, and Yeonji all subtly hope that I’ll inherit the company later, but honestly, I don’t have the confidence.

It’s not just an ordinary company, it’s a world-renowned conglomerate. For me, an ordinary guy, to inherit it?

I don’t think I’m capable of doing it well, nor do I have the skills.

“The Chairman is also watching to see if you’re capable of inheriting the company later.”

“Ugh… just hearing that makes my stomach hurt.”

The current Chairman doesn’t have much ambition either, and he has no intention of taking over the company. He plans to return it to my mother-in-law.

My mother-in-law, Yeonhee, and even Yeonji are refusing to inherit the company, so the last person left is me.

“Wouldn’t it be better if Yeonhee inherited it?”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I’m qualified to inherit it.”

Yeonhee calmly says that she’s not qualified.

She’s my mother-in-law’s daughter, but she’s adopted, not a blood relative, so she doesn’t think it’s right for her to inherit the company.

That’s why she, the most capable and suitable person, refuses it, and I can’t force her. So, the only option left is me.

“But wouldn’t it be difficult with my abilities?”

My self-esteem has improved, but I don’t think I’m good enough to inherit a conglomerate like Choi Han Group.

“That’s not true… The former Chairman… my grandfather, also started by inheriting the company.”

“Huh? The former Chairman?”

“Yes… He was an orphan and just an ordinary person, but the president of the company he worked for had no children, so he gave the company to the former Chairman, whom he considered like a son. Through his efforts, he grew it into the current Choi Han Group.”

“That’s the first time I’ve heard that…”

“It’s in the company’s published book.”

“Ah, anyway, just because the former Chairman did it doesn’t mean I can do it.”

“The former Chairman was also an ordinary person, but he reached the top through his efforts… and I believe you can do it too, Juhyun-nim.”

Yeonhee’s words and actions showed me her strong conviction and belief in me, so I couldn’t lower myself any further.

“Anyway, with this department reorganization, a new department centered around you will be created.”

“Centered around me?”

“Yes, the newly created Sales Team 5 will be operated in a different way than the existing ones, and only you can do it.”

“What are you planning…”

“Simply put… it’s about connections.”

“C-Connections?”

“Yes, it will be operated using your connections.”

“I… don’t have many connections?”

“Hmm… Do you remember when Yeonji played with her friends using Sujeong and Jisoo?”

“Ah… yes, Yeonji said they had fun together, and her friends often ask her to do it again.”

“Yes, that’s a connection.”

“But is that enough to reorganize a department?”

“When companies cooperate and trade with each other, it may seem like they form relationships rationally and logically, but in reality, it’s a bit different.”

To us, it may seem like companies cooperate and trade based on mutual benefit or public interest, acting rationally and logically, but in reality, the most important thing when making a deal is people.

“When making a contract, there are many cases where deals are made by catering to the personal whims or using the personal connections of the people involved in the relationship between the client and the contractor.”

“Hmm…”

“When making a contract, if it benefits both parties, it doesn’t matter ‘where’ you do it. It’s more important ‘who’ you trust and believe in.”

In reality, most contracts are based on mutual benefit, but the most important thing is whether the person you’re contracting with is trustworthy.

Since it’s important to be able to do business based on mutual trust, it’s quite common for small and medium-sized businesses to use connections to make deals.

“Yeonji’s friends are all granddaughters or children of well-known companies… If we expand our connections to their friends, there will be more people who can help the company and make deals.”

It’s not exactly my connections, but rather connections through Yeonji, but they are trustworthy and reliable trading partners.

“And there’s a sure way to expand our connections, isn’t there?”

“A sure way… don’t tell me.”

The reason why Yeonji’s friends have connections with me in the first place isn’t just because I’m Yeonji’s boyfriend.

They’ve never met me, so we’re strangers, and it’s hard to say we’re trustworthy, but there’s one point of contact.

“You’re saying we can expand our connections using Sujeong and Jisoo?”

“That’s right.”

“Isn’t that… problematic?”

“In reality, there are many cases where connections are made or deals are done through entertainment… it’s just not made public.”

As Yeonhee, who works in an important position in the company, she knows that this kind of deal is common.

It could cause big problems later if it’s discovered, but if it’s not, entertainment-like deals are always effective and secretly prevalent.

Of course, it’s a method that can be considered ethically problematic, but…

‘Even if it’s Jisoo, if it’s Sujeong…’

Since Sujeong truly wishes for her life to be completely ruined, she might even like being used like this.

“So, a team centered around you will be created… Of course, it might be awkward for you, a new employee, to be the team leader, so Team Leader Kim Miyoung will continue to be the team leader.”

In the end, it’s a plan to reorganize the business direction, focusing on me and using connections with large or medium-sized companies, rather than just small businesses.

It’s a business direction that uses connections and my females, which may be ethically problematic, but it’s true that it can achieve overwhelming results in a short period of time.

I could feel Yeonhee’s strong will to make me recognized by the Chairman, so I nodded and said I understood.

“I don’t know if I can do as well as Yeonhee thinks, but… since Yeonhee, Yeonji, and my mother-in-law believe in me, I’ll do my best.”

“Thank you, Juhyun-nim.”

When I agreed, Yeonhee bowed her head, thanking me.

“That’s that… but you need to be punished for proceeding with this without telling me, right?”

“I understand♥”

Slipping her clothes off, as if she knew she was going to be violated, Yeonhee, who was already naked and blushing, was eager to be punished. I prepared for the new company life that would begin soon.
