"The Minister believes this project is not feasible, does he?"

"Why else would you ask me to take down the documents again? Hurry and recheck them. If the project really needs to be cancelled, we have to make a decision quickly."

After hearing what Guo Xiji said, his subordinates immediately began to re-examine the feasibility of the project.

While the people in the headquarters were busy, Park Jin Hyuk was sitting cross-legged on the table with project documents, smoking and looking out the window.

Now, the actual value of the project is shown above the project contract.

In this way, all projects can be reviewed in less than half a day.

The method is so simple and clear, you just need to compare the contract amount of the project with the actual amount above the contract.

However, he couldn't do it so easily in front of everyone.

You must strike a balance between demonstrating your extraordinary judgment and not arousing suspicion from others.

He needs to strike a perfect balance between "If a person's efforts and talents are brought to the extreme, this is possible" and "Only gods can do it."

Dang, Dang, Dang~

Jin Junyu knocked on the door and walked in.

Before I knew it, it had darkened.

It was already past closing time, but the headquarters staff still worked overtime to complete the review of the Gyeongnam Industrial Park project.

Jin Junyu walked in with the results.

"According to the results of the re-examination, the Gyeongnam Industrial Park project is indeed a loss-making project."

Park Jin Hyuk didn't look back at Kim Jun Woo, but continued smoking and looking out the window.

“If this project is terminated, will it cause us any losses?”

"We will not be able to bid for any projects in the South Gyeongsang region for the next year."

"Give up or continue, which approach will be better for us?"

"After comparing the two approaches, the department concluded that it would be in our best interest to abandon the project."

"So, for the next year, we won't be able to participate in projects in the Gyeongnam region. What's the solution? We can't just jump to conclusions like that, can we?"

When Park Jin Hyuk asked this, Kim Jun Woo remembered what Hyun Yi Soo had just said to him.

"If the director asks, will we not be doing projects in the South Gyeongsang region in the next year? You should answer him like this."

Jin Junyu bit his lip, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then mustered up the courage to say:

"Deputy Director Hyun said that although we won't be able to bid for projects in the Gyeongnam region as a developer for the next year, we can participate as a contractor if we use the fact that the director is a candidate to succeed Dongjing Industry."

After hearing this, Park Jin Hyuk turned to look at Kim Jun Woo and laughed.

"Deputy Director Xuan has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He wants to use my relationship with Dongjing Industry to do something? ...But having said that, from the perspective of DS Construction, this is indeed a feasible method. He's really good!"

At this moment, Jin Junyu was thinking, 'You are even better than him in this aspect,' but the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back. He just nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's do as he says. Then, the next project is..."

Kim Jun-woo thought Park Jin-hyuk would say, "Let's stop here today," but unexpectedly, he picked up another contract from the table.

[Ilsan Commercial and Residential Area Project] (Note: Ilsan is an administrative district in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province)

"What is the cost of the Yishan Commercial and Residential District project?"

Jin Junyu quickly replied:

"This project includes 800 commercial and residential units. If all are sold, it can earn about 400 billion won."

"If we take into account the cost of purchasing the land, construction costs, and the cost of unsold units, how much is our investment?"

"It is estimated that 370 billion won will be needed, and this does not take into account the recent rise in construction material prices. If the rise in material prices is taken into account, the investment will be even higher."

Park Jin Hyuk looked at the number displayed above the contract.

[150 billion]

"Haha, who signed this contract?"

Park Jin Hyuk shook his head and handed the contract to Kim Jun Woo.

"For this project, let them recalculate... Actually, it doesn't matter whether they measure it or not, the results are already clear."

Looking at the contract Park Jin Hyuk handed him, Kim Jun Woo showed an unwilling expression.

He knew that Park Jin Hyuk's request for reconfirmation meant that there was a problem with the project.

The people from the organizational restructuring department downstairs had just figured out the Gyeongnam project, and now, Park Jin Hyuk, sitting at the table and looking out the window, pointed out new problems lightly.

Jin Junyu thought, it seems like I won’t be able to leave work today.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still took the contract slowly.

Park Jin Hyuk, who had been looking out the window, turned around and looked at him.

"Secretary Kim."

"Yes, Chief."

"It's already this late, and you still won't let everyone go home. You and the people below won't have any objections to me, right?"

"How could that be? You said that."

"It's already this late, and I'm still assigning work to you. You must be cursing me in your heart for being a mean boss who exploits employees. Actually, I used to be very dissatisfied when I encountered this kind of thing, but now that I'm a boss, my thinking has changed. I think it's natural for a boss to assign work to his subordinates at any time, but I know that thinking this way will cause problems."

Kim Jun-woo understood what Park Jin-hyuk meant.

He felt bad for making his men work so hard.

"Don't worry, I'll explain it to them. This is a special period. Besides, aren't I, Deputy Director Xuan, and the other team leaders all your people? Everyone will understand."

"I used to think so, but that's not the case."

As he said that, Park Jin Hyuk jumped down from the table and stretched his legs which were numb from sitting cross-legged for so long.

"Because I've worked down there, I understand how everyone thinks. When the company is facing operational difficulties or a major project that requires everyone to work their butts off, everyone might be highly motivated at first, driven by a sense of accomplishment or the encouragement of their superiors. But over time, that motivation will fade. That's just how it is with people."
