Chapter 101: Surprise Potion Box (2)

Chapter 101: Surprise Potion Box (2)

Every Tuesday, Player Place held regular 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 flashed 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.New novel chapters are published on

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 becomes 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 brief lapse 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 planned.

Wow, this time theres a wealth of detailed information.

Oh, those brothers who didnt bother sending a single congratulatory 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 in competition 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 successor 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 this company 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 that company.

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 player market? Did you think of it because youre a player?

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 our company 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?
