[Episode 139] Investigation of Yongin Incinerator

There was a momentary commotion.

Due to this disturbance, eyes were focused on Cha Il-joon.

“Chief, everything is ready.”

“It’s wonderful. You look better when you take off your dirty work clothes.”

“thank you.”

“Oh, and Cha Il-jun’s rank is Deputy Manager. Shouldn’t it at least be taller than that guy? I’ve already received all the approvals from the representative, so I’ll call him Deputy Chief Cha.”

“I’ll do my best.”

Having said that, Seok-Hwan Ko took out the employee ID that he was supposed to be wearing.

He grabbed his arm and held out his employee ID card to Shin-Woo Park, who was in pain.

“If you wanted to hide it from the world, you shouldn’t have had the interns shred important documents. Isn’t that right, Manager Park Shin-woo?”

An enormous amount of shredded material was processed in a week.

However, Koh Seok-hwan did not dispose of the material.

It was forwarded to the Strategic Secretariat as-is.

“Nuri… The head of the recycling strategy secretariat?”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Seok-Hwan Ko, who will look into corruption at the Suwon incinerator in the future.”

Ko Seok-hwan put his employee ID on his neck and reached out towards him.

When he suddenly grabbed his hand, Seok-hwan Ko stood up and whispered softly in his ear.

“anticipate. The first is you.”

“… … .”

“I’ll wipe it off. Wouldn’t you have touched some money while stalking the warden? Get ready to vomit all that money. I’ll pay you back the stress I’ve been putting on you for a week.”

I didn’t know that Cheon Hyun-seong’s words were true.

While there was a commotion like this, there was a man walking proudly towards Ko Seok-hwan.

Tuk-tuk-tuk-

He made a sound of shoes and approached Ko Seok-hwan.

“Are you here, sir?”

“You worked hard for a week, Manager Ko.”

“Are there any difficulties? This is my job.”

Ko Seok-hwan bowed his head 90 degrees toward Lee Si-woo, who arrived earlier than expected.

And Lee Mu-yeol, who was standing behind Si-woo Lee, looked down at Park Shin-woo.

“Is that person you mentioned Park Shin-Woo?”

“That’s right.”

“You are responsible for the investigation of Manager Park Shin-woo.”

“call.”

It had already been promised.

Koh Seok-hwan conveyed that he would like to directly investigate Park Shin-woo if the investigation proceeds.

Lee Moo-yeol approached Park Shin-woo, who had a blank look and blinked his eyes.

“My name is Mu-yeol Lee from the Nuri Recycling Strategic Secretariat. You are obliged to receive an investigation into Min Gu-jun’s corruption. If you refuse to investigate, you will be subject to resignation.”

“… Are you going to retire?”

“I got permission from the mayor of Suwon. Employees who are being investigated in unfaithful ways about corruption can pack their bags and leave.”

Suwon Mayor Park Sang-soo presented the appointment letter.

Park Shin-woo’s face became pale and tired at the word “out” if the investigation was insincere.

“Come on, Manager Park Shin-woo. You can follow me.”

“Sa, please save me.”

Park Shin-woo muttered in a low voice when he saw Lee Mu-yeol talking with a fierce smile.

“Do I really have to kill Manager Park Shin-woo? Oh, and the CEO, where should the deputy chief Cha Il-joon belong?”

Cha Il-jun stared blankly at Lee Si-woo.

The man I saw in front of our company a week ago.

I never dreamed that the man who helped me would be the representative of the famous Nuri Recycling.

Cha Il-jun, who made eye contact with Si-woo Lee, bowed his head.

“You are assigned to the team of Manager Koh.”

“And the CEO, I would like to recommend a talented young man to scout with the deputy chief Cha Il-jun.”

Cheon Hyun-seong, who was right next to Cha Il-joon, blinked.

“I will allow it. If it is the decision of Director Ko, we have to believe it.”

“thank you.”

“It was nothing. Then, Chief Lee, we will go straight to the director’s office.”

Siwoo Lee and the staff from the Strategic Secretariat went directly to the warden’s office.

* * *

Min Gu-jun, the director of the Suwon Incineration Plant, was sitting peacefully.

‘A kid named Ishiu has a strong bubble. Someone who doesn’t know anything about waste is catching me?’

We have been dealing with waste for over 20 years.

In addition, all the documents and materials to be problematic have already been destroyed.

He never thought that that little bastard would catch his ankle.

Bump-!

At that moment, the office door opened and Siwoo Lee entered.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Siwoo Lee, who is the representative of Nuri Recycling and is in charge of this investigation team, Director.”

“I didn’t know we would meet like this. That we should have met long ago.”

“If the director hadn’t turned his head for nothing, he would have been able to meet me sooner.”

“Heh heh, you roll your head… You talk too much.”

“I think you were trying to make a hole through Nuri’s image… … .”

Without speaking, Si-woo Lee walked forward and approached Min Gu-jun, who was sitting on the chair.

flinch.

He trembled at Lee Si-woo’s fierce gaze.

“Shouldn’t we be paid for trying to use Nuri? I’ll investigate properly. Chief Lee, start the investigation.”

“Yes, sir!”

Min Gu-jun’s computer hard drive, as well as everything in his office, was put in a box.

A face-to-face investigation had to be carried out, but it was more important to find materials that could prove the corruption.

“The director may remain seated until the investigation is complete.”

* * *

A week has passed since the investigation of the Suwon incinerator was conducted.

Lee Si-woo, who spurred the investigation into the incinerator by returning it by the weekend, clicked his tongue.

“Yeah, I ate a lot.”

“The investigation left behind, but the rest seems to be little things. However, one regret is that we did not understand part of the flow of the solicitation money received in cash.”

I remembered the expression on Min Gu-jun’s face, which was the first time I was proud of myself.

But within a week, the strategic secretary’s office uncovered every detail of his corruption.

Over the past five years, the amount of money he has received from waste companies alone has reached 5 billion won.

“How many people have received this money?”

“As far as I know, there are about 100 people. Many of them left the incinerator and moved to a large incinerator or shredding plant.”

“Perhaps that would be customary.”

“yes. It seems that the custom has been made in such a way that, after helping the company, if you retire, you will be hired by the company.”

This practice did not happen overnight.

It was evident that Min Gu-jun’s predecessors and even his predecessors had been carried on in the same way for a much longer time.

“It is said that the prosecution has decided to summon Min Gu-jun. According to the data we sent, we think the evidence is solid, and all those involved will be summoned.”

The task of the investigation team is now complete.

The investigation of the remaining female crimes had to be handed over to the prosecution.

“The next step is to investigate the Yongin incinerator.”

“The Yongin Incinerator will not be easy.”

“However, since this is just a start, we need to conduct a proper investigation.”

Originally, the city of Suwon expected that it would take at least a month or more.

However, Nuri Recycling’s strategic secretary’s office collected a huge amount of data, finished organizing it within a week, and handed over the data to the prosecution.

“The Yongin incinerator is probably more complex than Suwon. If it affects even the residents of the ashes, it means that the design of the incinerator is wrong.”

“Perhaps the construction company that built the Yongin incinerator should also be investigated. President Park promised to take responsibility for that part.”

“We’re going to investigate right away.”

Siwoo Lee, who quickly finished the work at the Suwon Incinerator, headed straight to the Yongin Incinerator.

As soon as they arrived at the Yongin incinerator, the entrance was packed with protesters who looked like residents.

― Demand that the incinerators that harm the health of the residents be shut down!

Siwoo Lee stopped the car when he saw protesters wearing yellow headbands and holding red pickets.

“Sir, there is a risk of safety issues. Come on in.”

“It is also important to listen to the concerns of the residents.”

Residents gave up their livelihoods and continued protests here.

Knowing the reason would enable an accurate investigation to proceed.

Despite Lee Mu-yeol’s disapproval, Lee Si-woo opened the car door and went out.

The results of the investigation into the corruption case of the Suwon incinerator have not yet been exposed to the media.

However, these were facts that would be known immediately if the prosecution proceeded with the investigation.

In any case, the citizens would have a negative perception of the incinerator.

‘But even if a landfill is unnecessary for the treatment method, an incinerator is necessary. If one incinerator disappears, the damage and inconvenience will surely affect the residents.’

As Siwoo Lee approached, people stopped when they saw him.

“This is CEO Lee Si-woo!”

One of the villagers holding the protest recognized Siwoo Lee and shouted.

Then a man who seemed to be the representative of the residents turned his head and ran.

“My name is Siwoo Lee, who is in charge of the investigation of the Yongin Incinerator.”

“My name is Kim Moon-geun, the representative of the Noun-ri village protests.”

He had been eagerly waiting for Lee Si-woo to visit the Yongin incinerator.

Since it was announced that the Suwon incinerator would be investigated first, I thought it would take at least a month or more.

When Kim Moon-geun asked for a handshake, Lee Si-woo held his hand with a serious expression.

“As a person in charge of the investigation team, I am here to hear what your concerns are.”

“CEO, please save Noh Un-ri. Now this town is dying.”

Kuk-

Kim Moon-geun, who held Lee Si-woo’s hand tightly with both hands, looked at him sadly.

I wonder if the residents will react like this.

Siwoo Lee felt a sense of responsibility and put on a heavy expression.

“After investigating the incinerator, I will personally visit the village. I will look at any difficulties and refer to the investigation.”

“When are you planning to visit?”

“I’ll go see you right after I finish the investigation today.”

Moon-geun Kim nodded at the promise that he would visit us today.

Siwoo Lee also needed time to tour the Yongin Incinerator.

* * *

When Si-Woo Lee visited the Yongin Incinerator, the official announcement by Park Sang-Soo, Mayor of Suwon began.

If it is a fact that will be revealed anyway, even if it is hidden, it is better to deliver the news to the citizens as soon as possible.

“We would like to present the results of our investigation into the Suwon waste incinerator.”

Reporters were flustered at the announcement made a week after the investigation team was formed.

“Mayor, why did the investigation end so quickly? Perhaps the investigation has not been conducted properly, are you in a hurry to make an announcement?”

“It is not. The current investigation team is headed by Siwoo Lee, CEO of Nuri Recycling, and is responsible for presenting the results of the investigation that I was handed over.”

“really… Are all investigations over in a week?”

“I cannot say that all investigations are over. However, I decided that the investigation had been carried out to the level of announcing it to the public. First of all, I would like to openly tell you what the investigation team found out during the week.”

The first announcement on the corruption of the director general, Gu-Jun Min, has begun.

During his five years as a general manager, he heard only reporters hitting keyboards when he heard that the amount of money that had flowed to the incinerator was over 5 billion.

“We have handed over this case to the prosecution, judging that it is not at a level that the investigation team can handle. In addition, Siwoo Lee, the representative of the investigation team, pointed out many problems with the facility. Suwon City will maintain the incinerator in a way that reorganizes it according to the results of the investigation team, and has ordered the Suwon incinerator to be closed for a month for reliable repair work.”

“I have a question. So, how will the waste from Suwon City be disposed of during that month?”

“We decided to take responsibility for Nuri Recycling.”

Can a shredder, not an incinerator, handle more than 300 tons of waste per month?

“Do you think that Nuri will be able to process the waste of Suwon City that produces more than 300 tons per month?”

“It is quite possible. Through the expansion that we currently enjoy, we have the capacity to process about 1,000 tons of waste per month. The city of Suwon plans to hand over the waste after sorting it for smooth disposal of Nuri.”

The amount of waste generated from Suwon-si was overwhelming compared to other provinces and cities.

If Yongin City produces about 200 tons of waste per month, Suwon City produces more than 300 tons.

The only way to overcome this situation where there was no answer except for an incinerator was to get help from Nuri.

“As the mayor of Suwon City, I feel a heavy responsibility for this issue. In the future, Suwon City will devise a healthier and more eco-friendly way.”

After Park Sang-soo finished his presentation, he bowed his head 90 degrees in front of reporters.

He didn’t know that his image might fall indefinitely due to the corruption of the incinerator.

But at least Park Sang-soo did not want to remain as a politician like Kang Eung-ryong.

‘CEO Lee Si-woo said that even if it costs a lot of money, we should go ahead and fix the problems found this time and the problems that will be discovered in the future.’
