Season 3: Chapter 269. Attack On Walnut (2)
Today, Ah-Sung's marketing department employees were all on high alert. The chairman's eldest son, who was practically confirmed to be his successor, was about to meet directly with the vice president.
Assistant Manager Koo Jin-Mo had never seen the chairman or the vice president in person. He saw the usually intimidating marketing manager trembling with nerves for the first time. Despite being excellent at berating his subordinates, he clearly feared his superiors.
Koo Jin-Mo suddenly realized a simple truth. The manager, who was always a source of fear and difficulty, seemed entirely different in the presence of higher-ups. This transformation made Koo Jin-Mo reflect on human nature.
People were like animals, shedding their ego and personality when facing a superior. They reacted purely on instinct. And as a subordinate, he could never predict this side of his superior as it was invisible in his everyday reality.
"He, he's coming!"
With that, the highest ranking individual in the organization appeared. The impact of his footsteps as he got out of the car almost felt real. The vice president wasn't a giant or particularly large, but he seemed imposing. Koo Jin-Mo couldn't even bring himself to look at his face. The manager dashed forward, leaving Koo Jin-Mo behind.
"What are you doing? Follow me!"
"Y-Yes, sir."
Surprisingly, he made this visit to meet a former employee who had left the company. He came all this way to take a photo with him. In front of an Ah-Sung Foundation building, a photo zone adorned with flowers had been set up. As the first flash went off, other cameras began to click.
Click! Click!
A group of executives followed him and security guards formed a protective line outside. They fervently guarded it even though no one dared to cross the line. The vice president walked confidently toward his destination, receiving cheers and protection along the way. At the destination stood a former Ah-Sung employee. Koo Jin-Mo witnessed something astonishing.
