by Calen_ongoAs Jeongun casually looked down at the crude JX-1 blueprint, Jinwook’s closing remarks followed.f672c37ae7a1ebb3
“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.”c708a45b8787c674

His words were smooth, 163869f102 but they seemed no c93543c58b different from what a 05ceab059f con artist would say f07a83b2e1 to make money for fbdcd446be themselves.b614b401252ba781

“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?”743478af93ff33b5
CEO Min was the 4ffb9fca9f person most directly and 96ee233377 deeply involved in the feb33eba03 JX-1 development. He was the c0f14c9b41 head of the 209bfea925 company that Jaehan bd1b351be5 Construction first partnered b073d556ee with for the ef196bd523 substructure development, handling 6c411e6fe4 large projects such b09c1625f9 as apartment complexes, 81cf520cb0 logistics centers, and 72f861e2a2 tunnel constructions.439edc8042337a14

“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.”b3ab811cb01fe881

Executives, who had been carefully 4502bb1aa5 examining the screen, started to c159b754a8 murmur. The two blueprints looked almost db8cc4b2c3 identical, with only minor differences 9948ee85c3 in the markings.e707a3dd09618a94

“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.”611d67c269493bc2

“Executive Director, I’d like to ask you about this. How did this happen? Were you aware of this when proceeding with the project?”db66b9c7b3b32086
He probably didn’t know. CEO Min, who was 5ca97340b7 currently in custody, had ad68533e49 also been deceived by 6ec0593d5b a German fraudster. Jeongun, who already knew f5b5e834a0 everything, watched Jinwook’s face, adc1832a0b curious about what kind cc3362e0bf of excuse he would a05d100098 make to get out 6c53ac94c2 of the situation.ac51bdfe57d10a88

Jinwook, who was drenched e3c01bd939 in embarrassment, lowered his 8106a21d03 head. The silence continued. As the noise in 9cb08bfc87 the room grew louder, 9009f30b16 one of the executives c63419e07f turned on the microphone bd0fc73372 and spoke.540a7b2ac87b0be1

The meeting room was becoming bb4da53b63 increasingly chaotic, verging on a 8c18ae89f5 riot.d79af4b8739dc7ca
Jeongun, who had 8934e6f997 practically instigated this bc8f043d70 atmosphere, glanced at c535d90b83 the seat where e4459c3b6b Jinwook was sitting. Lost in thought, Jeongun slowly afc8d1f81a blinked as their eyes met. It was a d277452af6 silent signal to 93aa53b86c stop at that.4911cef829675877

“There are some people here rushing to judge the situation and make harsh comments because Executive Director Cha is staying silent. I think they’re being a bit hasty.

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. His breath came out in sharp, frustrated gasps. Normally, he would have already grabbed Jeongun by the collar, but given how tightly he clenched his teeth and suppressed his anger, it seemed like he had truly been caught in a bad situation.ef7e828bbef1b00c

A bitter smile formed on Jeongun’s lips.d478bb99dac0d83b
He had become aware of the issues with the JX-1 project around the end of last year. There had been rumors that CEO Min had been involved in a fraud case before and had been investigated by the police, so Jeongun had sent Sehun to track it down. The results of that investigation had been revealed through Director Yoon’s statements today.780dd4ddff38f7a4
