Seong-ho Kim turned to Jeong-cheol Choi, who was standing beside him.

"You didn't tell him?"

"No, sir. Well… it could have changed…"

Byeong-jin Jo looked at Seong-ho, flustered, then quickly waved his hands.

"Come on. You can't do that. Hey. This isn't right."

His tone was flat and hard. No way.

Seong-ho looked at Byeong-jin with a hint of a smile.

"You're going as overall president of Ilhyeon Electronics."

"Huh? What? Go as what?"
