Tak-hyeon Lee, who had been quietly eating his meal while listening to the barbed talk between his children, set down the chopsticks he was holding at Mun-jong Lee's words.

"Turn Ilhyeon Electronics over to a Vice-Chairman system?"

At Tak-hyeon Lee's showing what looked like interest, Mun-jong Lee also set down his chopsticks and began to lay out his reasoning for Tak-hyeon Lee.

"Ilhyeon Electronics has long since outgrown the class of an ordinary company, hasn't it. I don't think we can go on running a place like that indefinitely under an overall-president system. If we elevate the head to Vice-Chairman and place presidents under him, I think it could grow further still."

"Oh? Then who is it you think would be the new Vice-Chairman?"

"As I said, I think it's a good idea to elevate Seong-ho."

Hearing Mun-jong Lee's words, Tak-hyeon Lee glanced back and forth between Seong-ho Kim and Mun-jong Lee with an amused look, and spoke.

"Then Seong-ho would be a Vice-Chairman on the same rank as you — are you all right with that?"

"What could there possibly be for me to be all right or not all right about? A capable man taking a good seat is only natural."

Mun-jong Lee had said it was only natural that Seong-ho Kim become Vice-Chairman.

And, looking at Seong-ho Kim with a warm gaze, he added.

"I have no doubt that Seong-ho will carry Ilhyeon Electronics — and Ilhyeon — to the next stage."

"Hahaha."

Tak-hyeon Lee burst out laughing.

"A truly fine sight. I don't know how long it's been since I've seen something that pleases me this well."

At Tak-hyeon Lee's satisfied expression, Mun-jong Lee too wore a look of satisfaction and smiled.

But unlike these two, Sang-jong Lee's face began to fill with resentment.

If only Sang-hoe Lee had been elected, that seat would have been mine…

Sang-jong Lee shot a sharp glare at Seong-ho Kim.

Seong-ho Kim, though he knew of that gaze from Sang-jong Lee, feigned obliviousness and turned his head aside.

If anything, he wanted Sang-jong Lee to hate and detest him all…
