Chapter 777: Finding the Director (4)
President Bok Han-Joong of Suhyaejong suppressed his fury as he began with Han Beom-Soo's disciplinary action.
"Professor Han. You've disgraced the school as a faculty member. You'll step down as department head immediately. Professor Choi Ill-Joong will be appointed as your replacement this week."
"M-Mr. Bok!"
"I'm not finished. Let me speak." Bok Han-Joong cut him off, then continued calmly. "Hand over your classes to Professor Choi starting tomorrow and go on sabbatical. For the second semester, you'll take a research year at the University of Buenos Aires. I hear the weather's great and the steak is cheap."
"Buenos Aires? That's the capital of Argentina on the other side of the world!"
"And? You don't want to go? Then resign."
Only a university president could talk about exiling someone halfway across the globe with such dry wit. Han Beom-Soo swayed on his feet in shock, but Bok Han-Joong didn't even blink.
Bok Han-Joong turned to Ye Ji-Hyun next. "Chef Ye. From this moment, no faculty or graduate students from Suhyaejong will dine at this restaurant. All bookings through the end of the year will be canceled."
Ye Ji-Hyun protested, "Mr. Bok, you can't be serious!"
Without replying, Bok Han-Joong looked to his secretary. "Secretary Kim. Are there any legal issues with canceling our bookings?"
The secretary shook his head. "There are none, sir. The next faculty dinner was scheduled for next week, but I'll cancel it right away."
Ye Ji-Hyun's face turned ghostly pale. "M-Mr. Bok! You can't just cut us off like this! If the professors stop coming, we'll go under!"
