Chapter 21: The Meeting

The meeting hall at Yeoun Pharma held three hundred and twelve people, and by ten to nine every seat was taken.

Both boards sat in one room for the first time in fifty years.

The Yeoun directors took the left side and the Haeryong directors took the right.

Between them ran a wide aisle of grey carpet that nobody wanted to cross.

Do-yoon sat at the long table at the front in a pale grey suit.

A wine-colored tie sat at his throat, knotted for the day.

Only one person in the building knew what it meant.

That person sat at his right hand in navy with his waistcoat open, looking bored.

Gi-cheol came in last.

He walked down the aisle with his lawyer a step behind him.

He took the chair at the head of the table.

"Let us begin," he said.

"No," Do-yoon said.

Gi-cheol turned his head.

"I'd like to open with a recording," Do-yoon said.

"It's ten minutes long. It was made in 1998, on Jeju, and it is addressed to you."

"This is not on the agenda."

"I added it."

Ji-ho stood at the back, and pressed a key.

The speakers on the ceiling hummed.

Then the room heard it, a young Gi-cheol's smooth voice naming his price to his own father.
