Chapter 110
Chapter 110
What’s wrong with hard-working frontline cops?
It must have been an order from above not to intervene in labor-management issues at postal companies. If the prosecution has to investigate for a hundred days, the prosecution will not be able to investigate properly.
I pointed at the camera on the roof.
“You know we’re still filming, right?”
If a criminal escapes right in front of your eyes and the police are standing still, you might be insulted if they appear in the press.
The commander, awakened by my words, shouted.
“catch!”
The police quickly chased the escaped service and caught it. His arms were clasped, he twisted and shouted.
“Hey, let this go! I am embarrassed!”
i told him
“What are you embarrassed about? The fire extinguisher you threw at me almost killed someone.”
Taek-gyu nodded his head.
“that’s right. If a person commits a crime, they should be punished.”
He looked at me and cried.
“What are you? Why are you meddling in other people’s affairs?”
All the services and even the eyes of the police turned to me. Everyone should have noticed by now. That I planned this.
Taek-gyu said in a puzzled way.
“Why don’t you know? Are you still lacking in stardom?”
“… … .”
It’s no longer weird to recognize at a glance that it’s only been on TV.
“My name is Jinhu Kang.”
At first, there was no reaction. But soon there was a commotion around it.
“After Kang Jin-hui? Where did you hear that name?”
“Come on, wait, after the Gangjin… … .”
“OTK Company CEO!”
“No, that’s right! I’ve seen it on TV before!”
When I said my name, everyone recognized me.
“Dae, why is the CEO of OTK Company here… … ?”
“The person you broke your head with with a fire extinguisher is like an uncle to me.”
“… … .”
The man’s face turned white.
I kept talking to him, confused.
“No matter what happens, there will be no agreement. He has already hired a lawyer at the law firm, and apart from criminal charges, civil lawsuits will also be filed. Surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, alimony, etc. Whether it be real estate or a car, I plan to take it without leaving a single penny. So, get a good lawyer for that as well.”
It is not a simple assault, and you can never escape a prison sentence without an agreement for special injuries. If you file a civil lawsuit here, the amount of compensation alone will exceed a billion units.
How much do service thugs need to earn?
The man is in his mid-30s. He lost all of his fortune at an early age due to wrong behavior, and went to jail.
Now that he understands the situation he is in, he asks for forgiveness.
“Well, you were wrong. please save me I have a wife and children at home. What will my family do if I go to jail?”
“The person you almost killed also has a family. He was in debt due to surgery and treatment, and the aftereffects caused him to have speech problems. He has to take responsibility for what he did.”
“I, I just did what I was told! Everything was done from above.”
“Ok? Who gave what instructions?”
He cried and poured out his words.
“I said that the company will take care of anything that happens! So I… … .”
The bald man in the back shouted.
“Shut up, you bastard? Do you want to die?”
I approached the bald one. After being knocked down by Manager Lee Cheol-jin, he suddenly woke up.
I got to his nose before anyone could stop him.
“Are you guys doing this job for money?”
“What… … ?”
“If a postal company and an OTK company fight over money, which one do you think will win?
For reference, the market cap of postal companies is less than 100 billion won.
The bald man raised his fist.
“You bastard… … .”
“Look at a place to lie down and stretch out your feet.”
I stared at him without moving from the spot. The bald head trembled, but he couldn’t swing his fist.
You know the power of money.
I looked around the services and said.
“We will analyze the video to find every single person who has used violence in the past, and we will file criminal charges and civil lawsuits for all.
Taek-gyu added a word.
“Because of that, I signed a contract with the largest law firm, especially Rowoon.”
Strictly speaking, not the maximum.
The overwhelming number one is Jung & Kim, no matter what anyone says. Still, if it’s Rowoon, it’s about 3rd place.
Among the services, there were many young men who looked about the same age as me. Are you college students who followed your seniors or alumni?
I came here to earn tens of thousands of won a day, but before I even went to society, I got a red line.
They shouted out in front.
“Hey, we just did what we were told!”
“It’s all done by the boss!”
“I said it would be no problem!”
Even when he was wielding an iron pipe, he wouldn’t have thought it was a crime.
When a legal problem arises, the company repudiates, saying, “We only ordered the removal of illegal facilities, and never said to hit anyone,” and the responsibility rests with the individual.
I’m sorry but I can’t help it.
Because life is practical.
* * *
While the service workers started removing tents and banners.
Chairman Hong Woo-song and President Lee Se-yeop enjoyed a leisurely coffee. Moments later, the sound of breaking and breaking and screams echoed outside.
“You have nothing to worry about. It will be over soon.”
“Okay.”
Chairman Hong Woo-song felt that coffee smelled good today. After a while, the screams stopped like a lie.
President Lee Se-yeop smiled.
“this. I haven’t even drank it all yet, but I think it’s already over.”
He got up and looked out his window. Then he was astonished.
“What, what?”
The scenery outside the window was completely different from what I expected.
All the servants had collapsed, and men in black were surrounded by them.
Chairman Hong Woo-song shouted in surprise.
“How the hell did this happen? What are these guys?”
President Lee Se-yeop was equally perplexed.
Then the police arrived. Before I could even tell him to find out what was going on, someone ran into the president’s room.
Managing Director Yoo Sang-gi said urgently.
“Okay, something has happened, Chairman!”
“What’s up?”
“OTK Company CEO Kang Jin-hoo brought Xcop employees.”
“What? Jinhu Kang?”
Of course, there is no one in Korea who does not know the name of Jinhu Kang.
Chairman Hong Woo-song shouted out of absurdity.
“Why is Jinhoo Kang here?”
“It seems to be on the side of the union.”
“Then why? What does Kang Jin-hoo have to do with them?”
“I, I don’t know either. Rather than that, I just got a call from the prosecution, and it is said that Kang Jin-hoo entrusted the law firm with filing a complaint against our company and Changju Consulting. And she said that she started covering the news… … .”
Breaking a union is clearly illegal.
Nevertheless, the reason nothing has happened so far is because the public authorities, who should act as judges, were on the side of the postal company, and the media, which should report the facts, were silent.
However, the situation changed with Kang Jin-hoo.
“What are you doing? Hurry up and call Eunsung Motors!”
“That, that… … .”
Executive Director Yoo Sang-gi closed his eyes tightly and said.
“I just spoke to the general manager, and the postal company tells me to solve the problem on my own. Eunseongcha has nothing to do with it, so I got angry and hung up on why they were asking about labor-management issues.”
Chairman Hong Woo-song was at a loss for words.
Eunseongcha instructed the strike response one by one and arranged a contract with Changju Consulting. But now you’re out of touch saying it’s not related.
President Lee Se-yeop felt a cold sweat running down his back. Even in the course of legal enforcement, you must not assault a person. It goes without saying that mobilizing service thugs to obstruct the industrial action of the union is a crime.
I decided to think about it later, and I decided to avoid the body for now.
As I was about to leave the president’s room, two young men in their twenties were standing in front of the door. One of them held out his hand.
“You were here, Mr. Lee Se-yeop.
“You… … ?”
“It’s Jinhu Kang. Nice to meet you.”
The police were standing behind him.
“Are you Mr. Lee Se-yeop? The Changju Consulting staff just claimed that the boss gave illegal instructions. We must go together.”
* * *
The police took President Lee Se-yeop out, and I sat on the sofa with Taek-gyu.
“I’ve come all the way here, can I get a cup of coffee?”
On the other side was a small, white-haired old man. This old man is Chairman Hong Woo-song, who started the mailing company with his bare hands.
He looked at me with sharp eyes and said.
“Why are you meddling in other people’s house fights?”
“… … .”
Is this the old man’s perception?
He’s a company he’s built, and just because he’s a worker he’s hired doesn’t mean he’s free to do what he wants.
I saw a picture frame hanging on one of the walls. There was a phrase written on it that reads, “The staff is like family.”
“If you really think of your employees as family, shouldn’t this be the case?”
Income inequality in Korea is not that severe. If you work and get paid, you can earn a decent living. However, wealth inequality is extremely serious and the social safety net is not well established.
Low-income people without assets immediately lose their livelihood when their income is cut off. For this reason, the law guarantees the minimum conditions and rights of workers.
Chairman Hong Woo-song raised his voice.
“Then you mean to leave the illegal strikers alone?”
Workers can form a union and have the right to organize, bargain collectively, and take collective action. Strike is also a legally guaranteed right of workers.
But what happened is that I have never seen a legal strike in this country. This is because a strike is unconditionally labeled as illegal.
After Park Si-hyung became president, he emphasized a strict response rather than compromise, and so did the media.
This is business-friendly.
“Did you know that one of the employees committed suicide and several were seriously injured?”
Chairman Hong Woo-song snorted at my words.
“It’s all self-sufficient.”
Uncle Jong-su hung himself, and Uncle Seok-beom was seriously injured. But the old man did not feel any guilt at all.
You really think you are doing nothing wrong.
“What do you want?”
I suppressed my burning anger.
“You have used the law and power well. I plan to use my money and position to do the same the way the president did.”
Taek-gyu nodded next to him.
“He has a lot of money.”
“… … .”
“Just take note.”
I got up looking at Chairman Hong Woo-song’s expression.
“No worries. I’ll just do it the way you liked it so much. If there is no sin, nothing will happen. If not, think of it all as your own profit.”

News Breakthrough published an article on the Internet with the title of “The full story of the postal company’s union destruction case.”
Compared to mainstream media, internet media has limited influence. However, News Breakthrough has a history of already gaining popularity through PAS reports.
In addition, when it became known that Kang Jin-hoo was involved in this incident, netizens’ interest exploded.
-Does it make sense for this to happen in 21st century Korea?
-Hey, I was sentenced to one year in prison for getting paint on the asphalt while writing on a banner. is this real?
-I asked for 1 year and 6 months in prison for putting the tape on CCTV.
– Aren’t you crazy?
-Are the prosecutors beating the old man as a joke?
– How the hell did you become a prosecutor with that head?
-This is the Korean prosecutor’s class!
Embarrassed, the prosecution sent out an explanatory document stating that it was a case of prosecuting the union members for continuous and collective acts of vandalism and insults as competing offenders, highly appreciating the risk of the crime and the seriousness of the case.
– Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
-Thank you. I lost my laughter because the gag shows these days were not fun, but I burst out laughing after a while.
– Do those who strictly enforce the law treat the service thugs who drove their cars and rushed to the service as a simple traffic accident?
– Shouldn’t this be arrested for attempted murder?
– You smashed a human skull with a fire extinguisher, but there was no investigation?
-So, why did Jinhoo Kang get involved in this?
When it was revealed that the prosecution, which had emphasized strict law enforcement for unions, had been ignoring the illegal activities of the mailing company and Changju Consulting, criticized public opinion swelled.
News Breakthrough then released a document on the destruction of the union by Woosung Enterprise and a document on the order of Eunsung Car.
In the end, the prosecution, pushed by public opinion, decided to detain the service who drove a car and the service who threw a fire extinguisher to sink the skull, and decided to investigate all those suspected of assault. In addition, Woosong Group Chairman Hong Woo-song was arrested and indicted.
Violation of the Labor Standards Act, Violation of Minimum Wage Act, Violation of Trade Union Act, Violation of Dispatched Workers Protection Act, etc.
The charge was overflowing.
I wondered why he hadn’t been arrested until now. In the process, the Labor Inspectorate of the Ministry of Labor submitted a report with an opinion of indictment several times, but it was revealed that the prosecutor in charge continued to send back the investigation under the pretext of reinforcing investigation.
Lee Se-yeop, president of Changju Consulting, could not avoid arrest. This is because the arrested services testified to the president’s illegal orders to reduce the crime even a little.
As there was a riot on the Internet, the mainstream media were forced to cover it.
Reporters rushed to the front of the prosecutor’s office.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
“It’s a case that has already been accused several times in the past, and no new evidence has been revealed, so why are you making an arrest and prosecution now?”
“Do you admit that you ignored the report of the Labor Inspector?”
“Is the close relationship between the postal company and the prosecution true?”
“Were there any instructions or pressure from your superiors?”
“How is the investigation into Eunsung Cha going?”
Despite the reporters’ questions, the prosecutor in charge did not answer anything. She simply stated in writing that the investigation was carried out in accordance with established principles and procedures.
Now, the gaze was focused on Eunseong-cha.
At first, Eunsung Cha, who was consistent with silent answers, explained that as the situation escalated, there was no company-level order, and it was a personal deviation from the person in charge of the purchasing division for stable parts procurement. And he said he would take disciplinary action after confirming the facts.
Prosecutors accepted Eun Sung-cha’s statement and decided to investigate and punish only the employee.
Although he avoided legal responsibility, he could not avoid criticism from public opinion.
– I’ll never buy a silver car again.
– The centipede union stuck with it, and the subcontractor union really tried to kill it.
-I bought a silver car because of patriotism, but now it seems that patriotism is not buying a silver car.
-If you talk about it for a hundred days on the Internet, the share of Eunsung Motors exceeds 70%. All those who live will live anyway.
-Is this also not related to PAS or your Excellency?
– So who is PAS?

I went to the hospital with Taek-gyu and his mother with a bouquet of flowers.
Uncle Seok-beom was admitted to a university hospital in Gangnam and received rehabilitation treatment. I paid all the cost.
In the single room, there were a middle-aged woman, a middle school boy, and a high school girl with Uncle Seok-beom who was hospitalized.
The middle-aged woman looked at us and got up and bowed her head.
“Good morning. Long time no see. Say hello to you too.”
Her siblings nodded their heads.
“Good morning.”
I remember seeing it a long time ago at a company picnic. They’ve grown a lot too.
Uncle Seok-beom looked at me and smiled.
“Wow, are you here, Jinhoo?”
He still stuttered, but his pronunciation improved and his expression brightened.
Her mother told Uncle Seok-beom and her family.
“Don’t worry about the future. As soon as you are discharged, we will find a job and provide you with a place to stay.”
Her aunt said with a look like she was about to cry.
“I don’t know how to thank my mother… … .”
“What do you mean? If Jinhoo’s father had been here, he would of course have done so.”
Jong-su, who passed away Yes, I also contacted her family, and I plan to look for other employees.
It is a living without everyone. If you suddenly have a lot of money, there is a high possibility that you will have problems with your relatives and people around you. You could be scammed, or you could use it all up at once.
Therefore, I plan to pay money like a pension for a certain period of time so that I can find a job and become self-reliant.
It was her mother who decided to take over the task. He seems to want to take care of him as he was an employee of his father’s company.
“Have you been through a lot? I know everything.”
“Ouch!”
At those words, her aunt burst out crying as she had been holding on to her. Her mother held her and comforted her.
“It’s okay now. Everything will be fine in the future.”
Uncle Seok-beom and her brothers and sisters all wept together, and all of a sudden, her hospital room became a sea of weeping. But there was another person who cried the most.
Taek-gyu burst into tears next to him.
“Uh-huh!”
“… … .”
why are you crying
