When CTO Nicholas Kim retired, A-Gen would choose their next CTO from the in-house directors. How would Young-Joon react?0

‘What would I do if I was Ryu Young-Joon?’0

Kim Hyun-Taek often thought about that. Young-Joon was a smart man, and he made sure to take things that would increase research speed, even the little things. Then, wouldn’t he obviously try to take over that role, which would allow him to supervise all of A-Gen’s research and development. A-Bio was going well, but there was no reason for him to decline if A-Gen offered him everything. Normally, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to manage both at once so they would never even try, but Young-Joon definitely would. If Kim Hyun-Taek competed with Young-Joon over that position? He would never be able to win, as Young-Joon’s performance was overwhelmingly better.0
