Chapter 101: Surprise Potion Box (2)


    Every Tuesday, yer ce held regr meetings.


    Even Ryu Min, the majority shareholder, made sure to attend them all without fail, considering it an opportunity to leave a positive impression on Ma Kyung-rok.


    Today held discussions of importance.


    Ryu Min observed Ma Kyung-rok, who was presiding over the meeting.


    After a round of diverse opinions, the meeting drew to a close.


    Thank you all for your hard work. Todays meeting concludes here.


    Great job, everyone.


    The executives rose from their seats and exited the meeting room.


    Only Ryu Min and Ma Kyung-rok stayed in the room.


    It was an opportune moment for a private conversation.


    Major shareholder, or rather, Prophet. Thanks to you, we safely survived the 7th Round. Im sincerely grateful.


    Fortunately, you remembered not to surrender to temptation.


    Yes. When it happened, your words shed in my mind. If it werent for you, I might have given in. Its a bit embarrassing to admit, but the illusion was quite vivid.


    Though he concealed it out of embarrassment, Ryu Min had already discerned the nature of the temptation Ma Kyung-rok faced.


    Facing the criminal who had taken his parents lives and yet he had to refrain from killing him and take revenge.


    By the way, Prophet, I have a question.


    It was a question that had been on his mind for a few days now.


    You knew the answer, so why couldnt you secure a higher rank? It wasnt a round that demanded excessive effort.


    If he possessed knowledge of the round, securing the top spot would have been a breeze. So, why didnt he?


    It was a sharp question, but


    I thought you, Ma Kyung-rok, also knew the answer. Why couldnt you secure the top spot?


    Huh? Uh.


    For a moment, Ma Kyung-rok appeared as if he had been blindsided.


    Even if youre aware that resisting temptation is crucial, when the moment arrives, executing this bes quite challenging. Having experienced it firsthand, you get it, right?


    Yes, indeed, I understand. Got it.


    Ma Kyung-rok swiftly dispelled his suspicions.


    Yet, instead of dwelling on his inquiry, he reproached himself for the briefpse in his thinking.


    Certainly, hes not someone to underestimate just because hes young. Theres a subtle blend of insight and seasoned experience.


    Ma Kyung-roks thoughts, tinged with self-caution, echoed.


    He acknowledged that the Prophet had not only demonstrated prowess in prophecy but also seemed quite insightful and wise.


    Its not wise to make him overly cautious.


    From Ryu Mins standpoint, which aimed to encourage openness and trust, it wasnt an entirely pleasant situation.


    Prophet, you mentioned you had something to tell me?


    Yes. I wanted to share information about Round 8.


    Ryu Min promptly provided the information for the next round as nned.


    Wow, this time theres a wealth of detailed information.


    Thats right for Round 8.


    Thank you, Prophet. You always provide such invaluable assistance. Im not sure how I can repay you.


    Dont burden yourself too much. Isnt it wonderful to coborate from the standpoint of being on the same boat?


    Haha, thank you so much.


    Despite the advice not to feel burdened, Ryu Min continued to umte a sense of indebtedness.


    Uh, Prophet. While youre helping me, can I ask for one more favor?


    What favor?


    Do you remember my fiance from the other day?


    Of course.


    Is it okay to share this information with my fiance?


    Probably already got the information from her, right?


    He chuckled inwardly but didnt show it, stating, Certainly, its fine. I already allowed sharing when I prophesied separately back then. Consider it already permitted when Round 11 bes dangerous.


    Oh, thank you for allowing it.


    It seemed more and more people were sharing future information, but it was fine.


    If I have to lead a few people with me to thest round, its better to make them rely on prophecy to survive until then.


    Smiling slyly with apassionate expression, Ryu Min was about to discuss business when


    CEO?


    An Sang-cheol entered the conference room.


    There was a sense of urgency in his expression.


    Not missing this, Ma Kyung-rok asked seriously, Manager An, whats the matter?


    T-the Chairman is here.


    My father?


    Surprised, Ma Kyung-rok hastily rushed out.


    At the door, Chairman Ma Dae-cheol of Ohseong Group was entering with a young bodyguard.


    Father Chairman, why did youe here without saying anything?


    Do I have to notify anyone when I decide to visit my sonspany?


    Well, even so, you should have at least given a heads up so we could prepare


    Enough. Im just going to take a look around briefly.


    Having shared those words, Ma Dae-cheol, gripping his curiosity, casually toured thepany premises.


    Youve gathered it up rather nicely.


    .


    Ive heard positive things. They say it had a good start.


    Where did you pick up on that?


    If youre asking this? Then youre still too naive.


    .


    Even your brothers have sent their congrattions.


    At the mention of brothers, Ma Kyung-roks gaze shifted.


    Oh, those brothers who didnt bother sending a single congrattory wreath?


    Dont say that. Whether you liked it or not, theyre still family.


    Can we really call those who set their sights on your fortune family?


    Are you any different?


    Im only engaging inpetition because I dont want to divide shares with my brothers. Didnt you agree to that, Father? If I prove my skills are better than theirs, youll acknowledge me as the sessor and inherit all the property.


    Right. Is that possible? Theres less than a year left until the agreed-upon time.


    Just give me a little more time. The start of thispany is much more promising than the Consulting we did before. We still need a few more months of observation, though.


    Why did you abandon consulting? It wasnt bad enough to warrant such a change.


    There was no room for further growth. Besides, would you have acknowledged me to that extent?


    Humph, certainly not. If you cant make it into the top 50 in Kosdaq market cap, being 150th doesnt matter.


    Thats why I gave up on thatpany.


    A bold move, venturing into an uncertain industry.


    .


    Ma Kyung-rok fell silent.


    In truth, without Ryu Mins suggestion, there would have been no need to switch industries.


    What about the idea of creating a yer market? Did you think of it because youre a yer?


    Ma Kyung-rok hesitated at the chairmans question.


    Should he tell the truth that it was Ryu Mins idea, or should he entirely attribute it to his own merit?


    Ma Kyung-rok had to make a choice.


    And he knew what the right choice was.


    Father is someone who wouldnt miss that.


    Inwardly sighing, Ma Kyung-rok honestly admitted.


    That idea wasnt mine.


    What?


    The majority shareholder who acquired ourpany at 51% suggested and conceived that idea. Were working together as business colleagues now.


    It wasnt your idea? Who is this major shareholder then?


    Ma Kyung-rok turned around.


    Coincidentally, Ryu Min was present.


    Major shareholder. Can I have a moment?


    Oh, sure.


    Watching, Ryu Min approached the chairman.


    Chairman. This is the person.


    Hello. Im Ryu Min.


    .


    The chairman maintained a poker face, however, internally he was quite surprised.


    Is this guy, who looks like he just turned 20, the majority shareholder?
