Seated on the plush couch within the sanctum of your office, your fingers traced the delicate contours of an artifact resting on the table. The atmosphere held a delicate tension, a precursor to the unfolding tableau. A commanding knock echoed through the room, and with a terse command, you beckoned the intruders to enter.

The door swung open, revealing two imposing figures flanking your assistant. Between them, a battered man was being ushered into the room, his disheveled appearance a stark contrast to the polished setting. Your gaze briefly flickered toward the artifact, a momentary distraction from the impending confrontation.

As the men forcefully positioned the bruised figure in front of you, your assistant hurried to your side. With a composed demeanor, she began the explanation. "Sir, this is CEO Ha, the head of the renowned media company, JEONJA," she conveyed, her voice maintaining a professional cadence despite the tumultuous scene.

You looked up, meeting the gaze of the man who now knelt before you. The lines etched on your face betrayed a calculated curiosity as you inquired, "CEO Ha, it seems you've found yourself in a rather compromising situation. Care to explain?" The air hung heavy with unspoken implications, and the artifact beneath your fingertips seemed to absorb the tension in the room.

As the weight of the situation settled, CEO Ha, visibly battered and broken, began to plead for forgiveness. His tearful eyes met yours, a desperate plea echoing through the room.

"Please, I beg you. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. It was a mistake," he implored, his voice quivering with a mix of fear and remorse. The once influential CEO, now reduced to vulnerability, sought mercy within the confines of your office.

The room, adorned with artifacts that bore witness to the rise and fall of many, remained silent. The air thickened with the palpable tension of a man facing the consequences of his actions. Your expression remained stoic, an inscrutable mask concealing your thoughts as you observed the man on his knees, begging for redemption.

"Mr. Kim, I'll do anything to make amends. Please spare me," CEO Ha continued, desperation lacing every word. The shadows in the room seemed to dance in response, casting an ominous backdrop to the unfolding plea for clemency.

You clicked your tongue in disapproval, the weight of the past casting a long shadow over the present predicament. Leaning back, you reminded CEO Ha of a crucial turning point in JEONJA's history.

"Tsk, tsk, Mr. Ha. Just a few years ago, JEONJA was on the brink of bankruptcy. If it weren't for my intervention and substantial investments, your company would be a relic of the past by now," you remarked, your tone cool and calculating, accompanied by a smile that lacked any warmth. The artifacts in the room seemed to resonate with the echoes of a financial resurrection that you had orchestrated.
