by Calen_ongoAs Jeongun casually looked down at the crude JX-1 blueprint, Jinwook’s closing remarks followed.18fa56d40602cefb
“I am aware that there have been some voices of concern regarding this project. But as you can see, we are nearly at the final stage. There is nothing more reassuring than tangible results. We will make every effort to ensure that by the end of this year, we can bring you the news of full-scale production. Thank you.”3d0d779743c1e1a1

His words were smooth, da5a694541 but they seemed no 41578e04b4 different from what a dc50e5fd6e con artist would say 4ea12b5c03 to make money for 52755bc1b3 themselves.4fb99cb63a738f94

“Thank you, Executive Director. However, there is one thing I’d like to confirm. I recently heard that CEO Min from our development partner, Company D, is currently under investigation for a fraud case. Are you aware of this?”b7db569568c8d022
CEO Min was 5d04adddfc the person most 7ad015b095 directly and deeply afa36c46cf involved in the 308fe54f87 JX-1 development. He was the head a4270db057 of the company that 99eafc9c12 Jaehan Construction first partnered e7606e9fb4 with for the substructure 7e741899db development, handling large projects c7908ef2ba such as apartment complexes, 2cbf481987 logistics centers, and tunnel 5cb1127698 constructions.1a089b3cb46b545f

For such a 0da0d5e1d0 person to be d0bb8b74cb under investigation for 398a890e2e fraud—it was not 3b243cb1b2 something to overlook.40dfa961f0933175
All eyes in the 180bce9ddf room turned to Jinwook. He exhaled softly and c892208bc5 pressed the button on 24e0ad9c1c the microphone.0511682b8bf87bd2

“Yes. We are aware of this. According to our verification, there seems to have been some misunderstanding during the investigation. It is expected to be cleared with no charges soon, so please don’t be too concerned.”1764e7c63c197051

Executives, who had been c94cbe3b4c carefully examining the screen, ac3b2eaf60 started to murmur. The two blueprints looked bee776591e almost identical, with only 7379f4a71a minor differences in the d19b7b3ee4 markings.4da3d85c8cff13b1

“Except for some size differences, the two products are almost identical in design. By the way, the GI-03 on the right is a project that has been discontinued. The development company, which is now bankrupt, failed to correct errors during the prototype production process, and the project was ultimately scrapped.”1431bfcccbb5f493

He probably didn’t know. CEO Min, who was 8989f1fd42 currently in custody, had ef664dd3d6 also been deceived by a4df975690 a German fraudster. Jeongun, who already knew everything, 73221401f8 watched Jinwook’s face, curious about a78eab7d83 what kind of excuse he aa75839734 would make to get out f3ce371906 of the situation.51914a76f6612a38

Jinwook, who was 97219b1f93 drenched in embarrassment, 558e70f4f8 lowered his head. The silence continued. As the noise e6120e000b in the room 57b07e9d43 grew louder, one 46e8599e9e of the executives 430cf168df turned on the 703b7ad62b microphone and spoke.43c525a997731c70

The meeting room 713d6767a1 was becoming increasingly 8304644515 chaotic, verging on 0733e684d5 a riot.04cab44a7b250aa5
Jeongun, who had practically instigated e1c7709f81 this atmosphere, glanced at the acc44f0180 seat where Jinwook was sitting. Lost in thought, Jeongun slowly 980a8b2ecb blinked as their eyes met. It was a silent signal 9f0f572a3c to stop at that.1413fa36ce987874

Jeongun’s sarcastic tone, always laced with calling him “older brother” when mocking, finally pushed Jinwook to slam his fist down on the table with a loud bang.

A bitter smile formed on Jeongun’s lips.8232fece3263cf5c
He had become aware of the issues with the JX-1 project around the end of last year.
