Coin Conglomerate After Release

After eating breakfast prepared by my mother, I leave the house late.

The destination is a complex shopping mall 30 minutes away from home. I had to officially go to work tomorrow, so I was thinking of buying something simple to wear before that.

It’s not that I don’t have clothes to wear right away, but the clothes in my closet are, at best, too fancy, and at worst, they’re too raw.

Luxury wallets, belts, and shirts are from V, which is famous for its high-end department store brands and expensive shoes.

Of course, you can’t buy all of these with your salary, so most of them were fake or used, and I remember buying only the shoes through overseas direct purchase.

‘I was also really immature. Why did I wear it like this at this time?’

Maybe when I started my social life, I struggled not to be looked down on, but now that I think about it, I think it only backfired.

I stopped at the cheapest clothing store in the mall, bought a few shirts and pants, and got a wallet and belt from the general store next door that was closing down.

I could have bought a luxury brand, but I didn’t. Isn’t it the beginning of the business where even a penny of investment is regrettable?

‘I don’t know the money I spend on my mother, but I have to save the money I spend personally.’

Fatigue is no joke even after shopping the shortest distance.

As I was about to sit down and rest for a while, my phone rang.

-What are you doing?

Park Tae-shik’s voice is heard from the sign language department. I was just about to make a phone call, so I thought it went well.

“I went to the mall to buy something.”

– That’s great. Let’s have lunch together when Kim comes out. Should I go to Nonhyeon-dong?

“You’re coming here? What about the company?”

-Let’s meet and talk about it. I’m leaving soon, so just wait there.

Seeing what he said, it seems like he had an accident. For now, let’s wait at a nearby cafe.

“how is it? Did you come soon?”

Park Tae-sik arrived less than 10 minutes after the phone call ended.

From here to Bank H, where he works, it’s an hour if not the distance, but seeing that he came so quickly, the answer comes right away.

“Did you break the company?”

“How did you know that? A real ghost, a ghost.”

A deep sigh comes first. Then there is a roar and a voice breaks out.

“You foolish bastard. What if I just get rid of the company and come out?”

“I said I would sincerely believe this time.”

“no… … .”

“And yesterday before I went to bed, I did some research on virtual currency, but it wasn’t just a game currency, right?”

Park Tae-shik is excited by himself and talks about virtual currency.

Starting with the excellence of blockchain and security, decentralization and future currency were all repertoires of virtual currency investors.

I already had a scab on my ears, so I sipped my coffee and waited for the story to end.

“And crucially, the reason I quit the company. Hmmm.”

Park Tae-sik clears his throat as if to listen to me.

“The value of virtual currency has risen 3,000 times since its inception? Seeing that makes me feel bad! Coming, I wanted this. If only we could know exactly when to invest… … .”

“I already know.”

Hearing that, the boy jumped out of his seat and got up.

Of course ‘bang!’ There was a sound, and thanks to that, all the eyes of the other table customers who were drinking coffee were focused in this direction.

“Oh, I have a cramp on my leg. hahahaha… … it’s nothing. Stop worrying and look at what you were doing.”

Park Tae-shik forcibly drags me into the smoking room.

In the midst of that, seeing him even limp, it makes me run out of breath because of the laughter. That guy, that guy, should have taken the comedian test, not the bank teller.

“Hey, is that real?”

“Of course it is real. It’s a problem because that time isn’t now.”

The rapid rise of cryptocurrency began at the end of 2017. So from now on, I had to wait for more than two years.

“You have to wait patiently until the time to invest in virtual currency comes. So don’t think nonsense and go back to work and pray.”

“no. I mean, I’ve already handed in my resignation.”

“If I had handed in my resignation letter in the morning, wouldn’t it have been repaired yet?”

“that is… … that… … .”

Seeing that he couldn’t say anything more, it seems that he didn’t just submit his resignation letter. Did he even throw it directly at the face of the manager who always cursed at him?

“Ugh, you ugly bastard.”

“Hey, if you think about it that way, it’s the same as quitting the company.”

“What are you talking about? I’m on sick leave, so I’m going to work as normal from tomorrow.”

In an instant, the word “ruin” flashes past Park Tae-sik’s face.

“How did you do that at work?”

“I hit the resignation letter in the face of the chief in the morning.”

“Why can’t you exceed my expectations by an inch?”

“After all, you’re the worse guy. Where’s the point of continuing to go to work saying I’ll live alone while blowing a lot of wind?”

I heard it and it is true. Anyway, I was the one who brought up the idea of creating a corporation and working together.

“Taesik, actually, I don’t go to work because I like it.”

I briefly explained the current situation of KN Chemical and the fact that someone was trying to frame me.

“No, that makes no sense. How can one employee embezzle hundreds of billions of money?”

“Evidence is up to you to make. And if you use paid witnesses to perjure and bribe the court side, it’s not impossible at all.”

“If you think so, you should stop immediately!”

“It’s too late to quit. As soon as I leave the company, they will start chasing the culprit for stealing company money and running away.”

Talking about that time makes me angry and emotional.

I emptied the Americano I was holding at once and chewed on the remaining ice to keep my cool.

“If it’s enough to gulp down 100 billion won, isn’t the true culprit no ordinary guy?”

“First of all, the manager is confirmed, and there must be at least an executive level or higher behind it. Or it could be the boss’s plot.”

“her… … They said that reality is worse than movies, but that wasn’t wrong.”

Park Tae-shik gave various opinions to clear his name later.

Reports of public interest, reports to the press, and public opinion through Internet public opinion, etc.

However, the methods just mentioned were only possible means when there was clear evidence on this side, and did not become a fundamental solution.

“The bottom line is that the company has no choice but to gather evidence while going around the company, and then raise a weight class that will not be pushed back.”

“The problem is that I don’t have much time for that.”

“How long do you have left?”

“About a year if you hold it as long as possible.”

When Park Tae-sik was so surprised, he dropped the cigarette he was holding in his mouth.

“What, what? 1 year? wait for a sec. You said that investing in virtual currency would have to wait a long time?”

I know I’m running out of time too. So I thought of writing an expedient that could advance the timing by more than a year.

We decided to establish an overseas corporation for smooth investment.

The place of incorporation was Singapore.

In terms of tax and financial infrastructure, Hong Kong was more advantageous, but considering the Chinese government’s intervention in the future, Singapore was the unconditional answer.

The local agent and office address required to establish a Singapore corporation were resolved through a broker.

The initial funds for the corporation were 1.3 billion from me and 400 million from Park Tae-sik, making a total of 1.7 billion won.

The stake was distributed as much as the investment amount, and the local corporate fund was to be raised later through capital increase, so I put in only $1 for now.

After finishing the complex corporation establishment case and going around to look at the office we will be using, time passes quickly.

After such a busy day, the day to go to work arrived after 7 years and 2 months.

* * *

As usual, I wake up automatically at 6 in the morning.

For more than 7 years, I have been forced to wake up at this time, and now even if I try to sleep more, it doesn’t work.

After taking a shower, putting on clothes, and drinking a can of coffee leisurely, the time is 6:30.

It was still early to go to work because it was about 40 minutes from home to work.

If it was the me in the past, I would have wandered off to rest a little longer and left the house on time, but I couldn’t do that anymore.

‘The place I work is not a company I go to make money, but an enemy camp to infiltrate information. Let’s keep our minds upright.’

KN Chemical is headquartered in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do.

Because it was early, the road was quiet, and thanks to that, I was able to arrive at the company 10 minutes earlier.

Beep.

Take your employee ID and fingerprints and enter the headquarters building.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the company, so I wondered what if I couldn’t remember the way, but when I arrived, the memory of the time I went to work came to mind clearly.

‘At that time, I worked day and night to look good to my superiors.’

When I think about it now, I wonder why my life was so difficult.

“uh? Mr. Shin? You went to work.”

When I go up to the third floor of the main building, someone pretends to know me.

She is a female employee in the next department. Seeing as I can’t remember his name, I don’t think he was a very friendly person.

I smiled as naturally as possible and said hello.

“good morning.”

“Yes, good morning. By the way, are you feeling better? I heard you suffered a serious head injury.”

“it’s okay. He said he had a mild concussion.”

“ah… … I see Then why not contact the company. Manager Baek saw it while on sick leave and said something very bad about it.”

As soon as I heard the name of the centurion, the corner of my mouth that I forcibly pulled up trembled.

Baek Seung-tae, manager.

Asking me to run errands to exchange cash for large amounts of dollars, taking me to overseas gambling establishments, etc. He is the number one contributor who made me into an embezzler with all sorts of bullsh*t.

Then he shamelessly appeared before the court as a witness and spoke of perjury.

Kwak.

I clenched my fists hidden behind my back and barely maintained my original expression.

In the meantime, the female employee looks me up and down once more and asks me.

“I don’t know if it’s because he came after taking a break for a few days, but the atmosphere has changed.”

“Is that so? I don’t know.”

“I can’t pinpoint anything, but… … It’s definitely a different feel. Oh, definitely on the positive side. Ho ho ho.”

I can’t help but feel the atmosphere is different. My shell is 28-year-old Shin Woo-hyuk, but inside I am Shin Woo-hyuk, who has matured for 7 years in prison.

“Then let’s go.”

If you walk along the corridor on the 3rd floor of the main building, you will find the finance team office.

The Integrated Management Department, to which I belong, has a small number of people, so I use the same office as the Finance Team.

Sigh.

It was early, so no one was at work. I just throw my bag on my seat and look around the office straight away.

I was thinking of figuring out where and who was at the table in advance, but I didn’t have to.

I remember all of them without missing a single spot.

‘My memory was pretty good. Or is it because my body is the same as I was 8 years ago?’

After looking around the office, the last place I looked was the seat beyond the partition.

That is where Baek Seung-tae sits. On the desk was a stack of file folders and a brand new tablet.

‘Wouldn’t something come out if I searched that way?’

For a moment, greed preceded him, but he soon shook his head and scattered it.

When it is not enough to hide the evidence of a crime, who would go home from work with it openly on their desk?

‘Let’s not do anything suspicious. It’s natural to work at a company and move only when a clear opportunity comes.’

Thinking that, I was about to turn around when I heard a phlegmatic voice from behind.

“What are you doing there?”

I turned around and saw a middle-aged man with oil dripping down his face, staring at me.

It was my direct supervisor, General Manager Baek Seung-tae.

I prayed that I would meet you even in my dreams. I want to pull out that wicked tongue, twist my neck with both hands, tear it limb from limb, and chew it up.

If I had no one to protect me, I would have realized that lost idea right away.

Swoop.

I hid my trembling hands behind my back. Then, in my head, I recite lines that I have practiced hundreds of times.

“Excuse me, but who are you?”
