As soon as he got to work on Monday, Kim Jun-woo hurried into Park Jin-hyuk's office.
"Chairman, the president wants you to go to the headquarters immediately. He didn't say what the matter is."
"Haha, need I say more?"
After two days of rest over the weekend, Park Jin Hyuk looked in very good spirits.
He got in the car and drove to DS headquarters.
The radio in the car was reporting that the Seoul District Prosecutors' Office had searched the residence of the chairman of Daming Group.
Listening to the radio, Park Jin Hyuk looked calm.
After arriving at the DS headquarters, Kim Jun-woo accompanied Park Jin-hyuk into the headquarters building.
The atmosphere in the building seemed a little unusual. The secretary from the president's office, who was waiting in the lobby, said with a serious expression:
"Chairman Park, you're here. President Mao and the others are here."
“It’s so fast.”
Park Jin Hyuk replied with a smile.
As they were talking, they arrived at the door of the president's office.
"Who is the chairman of DS Group?"
A scolding voice came from inside.
The secretary knocked on the door carefully, but there was no response, so Park Jin Hyuk pushed the door open and walked in.
Mao Dayong and Shi Zhengwan were sitting in front of the chairman. Park Junwan said loudly:
"Don't you guys obey my orders?"
"President, we simply cannot obey anything that cannot be done."
"Why can't we do it? Is it so difficult to increase production?"
"The production line has already been transformed. It would be difficult to change it back, and it would not meet the time requirements."
Park Jin Hyuk said to Park Jun Wan:
"You're looking for me?"
Park Junwan looked up at him and ignored him.
Park Jin Hyuk walked over and sat down, then asked Mao Dayong and Shi Zhengwan:
"What brings you here so early on Monday morning?"
Seeing Park Jin Hyuk asking questions even though he already knew the answer, Park Jun Wan got furious.
"...You don't know, do you? I went to see Prime Minister Wang."
"Yes, the government asked us to increase production, but we reduced production. This is indeed a problem."
"Premier Wang explicitly called for a resumption of production, and the government has come under considerable pressure from neighboring countries."
Park Jin Hyuk said in a calm tone:
"The information I received from Commander Zheng Qiying isn't the same as mine. Why bother talking about neighboring countries? Are you planning to accept Premier Wang's unreasonable demands?"
Mao Dayong and Shi Zhengwan couldn't help but hold their breath when Park Jin Hyuk dared to speak to his father like that.
Park Jin Hyuk continued:
"I heard that Prime Minister Wang has a chance of being elected as the next president. If that's the reason, you should tell me so I can work with you to find a solution..."
Crash!
Before Park Jin Hyuk could finish his words, Park Jun Wan grabbed a stack of documents and threw them at him.
Park Jin Hyuk dodged to the side.
"...It seems I was right."
"Do you think you can get through this without agreeing to increase production?"
"We can't make unreasonable decisions because of external pressure."
"Haha, how come this is exactly the same as what Zheng Qiying said? Were you bribed by Zheng Qiying? Or did you bribe Zheng Qiying?"
Now that things have come to this, Park Jin Hyuk doesn't want to pretend anymore.
"I don't want to discuss what's already been decided. I was the one who asked them to do that. If you want to scold me, scold me."
"What an ignorant fellow!"
"I really have no intention of increasing production."
Park Junwan didn't understand why Park Jin Hyuk was so stubborn. He felt there must be another reason, but he couldn't see any clues.
Therefore, he decided not to get entangled with Park Jin Hyuk anymore.
"Well, you can do whatever you want."
At this time, Secretary Huang walked in.
"President, everything is ready."
Just now there was thunder and lightning, but in the blink of an eye it seemed that the rain had stopped and the sky was clear. Park Junwan smiled and said to Park Zhenhe:
"I understand what you mean. President Mao and President Shi are here too. Follow Secretary Huang and tell the reporters your ideas. See how they react."
An ominous feeling arose in Park Jin Hyuk's heart.
"Master, the press conference is ready."
Park Jin Hyuk turned to look at Secretary Huang, who looked at him apologetically.
He turned around and saw Park Junwan smiling at him.
Only then did Park Jin Hyuk realize that he had unknowingly fallen into the trap set by Park Jun Wan.
He lowered his head, thinking.
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and go over there! The reporters are waiting for you."
At Park Jun-wan's urging, Park Jin-hyuk stood up.
"Well, since the reporters are here, I'll go over and take a look."
"Don't be nervous. Just repeat to the reporters what you just said to me."
There was clear sarcasm in Park Junwan's gentle words.
"Okay, I understand."
Park Jin Hyuk smiled, turned and walked out of the president's office.
He, Mao Dayong, Shi Zhengwan, and Secretary Huang accompanied them to the press conference.
Secretary Huang walked and deliberately slowed down his pace. He was about to say something.
Park Jin Hyuk asked Mao Dayong:
"How far has it progressed?"
Mao Dayong glanced at Secretary Huang, then said cryptically:
“Waiting for the first result.”
"What about the second time?"
“If the results of the first one are satisfactory, the second one will be started immediately.”
He used the terms first and second to refer to Phase I and Phase II clinical trials.
Secretary Huang heard something in their words and said:
"Master, please rest assured, I have always been on your side."
Park Jin Hyuk grabbed Secretary Huang's arm and said:
"I'm sorry, we weren't looking out for you."
"That's good. Just to inform you, according to the president's instructions, we've invited over 150 reporters to the press conference, including numerous domestic and international media outlets, including the three major domestic news agencies, the BBC, and CNN. I hope you're prepared."
“Why did you invite so many reporters?”
"The WHO has classified the Paris flu outbreak as a Level 5 threat, and the US FDA has also issued a severe warning. Under these circumstances, DS Group, which accounts for over 30% of global production, refused to increase Bidafil production, drawing widespread attention both domestically and internationally."
Although there is pressure from public opinion, it is obvious that Park Junwan wants to use this to put pressure on Park Jin Hyuk.
"Since so many people care, I'll go and explain it to everyone."
After hearing what Park Jin Hyuk said, Secretary Huang felt relieved.
The press conference was a complete surprise to Park Jin Hyuk, who was worried that he would refuse to attend.
Park Jin Hyuk walked into the press conference.
Suddenly, the sound of shutter clicks came one after another, and the flash lights made it impossible to open your eyes.
The venue was densely packed with reporters, and at the back of the venue, various cameras were set up.
