Chapter 229 – Episode 229

I understand why people say that criticism is better than indifference.

Except for Song Sang-joong, there is no life in the eyes of people who look at me. In the military, senior officers who looked at advisors looked exactly like that. It’s the eyes that think someone doesn’t exist.

I thought as I swallowed my saliva.

They say that if I go out into society and don’t see a single person with a problem, I might be the one with the problem. If…

“This is right, bastard. If you choose, you represent it.”

That’s a good thing.

Because someone who looks like I have a problem comes in. I was truly relieved.

Director Anna Tae, no, general director.

They say that social life is a bit difficult when you have a high rank. What can I say about that person, I couldn’t figure it out. If you become a general director, you must be incredibly capable, right? So, I guess Na Chang-yeon put him in that seat.

“That’s it. Because the introduction of new members is over. Everyone go to their work. As Sang-joong said, I am busy, I am busy. There isn’t much left until the second exam. Also, if you don’t want to see the planning team making a fuss, complete the assigned tasks quickly. Have I ever asked you to flatten the planning team’s nose? At least you shouldn’t get criticized.”

It may seem like it exists, or it may not. I’m not sure.

In fact, it was an issue that I couldn’t be sure about when I came in as the representative. That’s probably why I’m so upset.

“Yes, General Director. Thank you for your hard work.”

“I think I’m already hearing criticism. Anyway, I will go back to work hard.”

“Everyone. “It’s bongyiring today too, bongyiring!”

Development PM, client programmer, content programmer…

People who didn’t even hear their names calmly returned to their seats.

All impressions are smooth. I can’t even imagine harsh words coming out of that mouth. When I first saw it, I couldn’t help but say, ‘You look like a programmer.’

This was especially true for the development PM and project manager, who were the only women on the development team.

The gentle appearance combined with the glasses and petite body makes it seem like even the most sympathetic people can easily approach her.

But the funny thing is, in reality, those innocent people are treating me like I don’t exist.

“Ha, what on earth are you doing? “It’s not like kids are playing around.”

Song Sang-joong grumbles and complains all sorts of things to himself, leaving a bad impression that is easily misunderstood. That man was the only one facing me directly.

What. He seemed to care for a moment, but then quickly turned his head and walked back to his seat.

I was very grateful for even that small amount of attention.

‘It’s not easy.’

[Trainee Programmer / Hyunwoo Kim]

I sat blankly like a fool in the place that was told to be mine. Quietly, without even breathing, I rubbed the high partition.

I was prepared to get some harsh glares or look at me with hate.

It’s not like swearing or teasing. Because they just treat me like I don’t exist. Aside from feeling bitter, a tremendous amount of mental fatigue came over me.

Conversely, everything I expected turned out to be wrong, so I felt a sense of reality.

Okay. This is reality!

It was even weirder if everything turned out the way I thought.

「Crash, crackle, crackle!」

That’s it.

The busy sound of keyboards coming from all over the place is increasingly suffocating me. Song Sang-joong said it earlier. What do you need to know to teach?

It’s exactly as it says.

Still, I thought I had mastered the C# and C++ languages ​​to some extent through my speed reading skills. When I go to work in person, I have no idea what to do.

I couldn’t even turn on the computer because I was being noticed, and as I was just swallowing my saliva, the development PM passed in front of me.

That alone made my heart flutter a little.

“Mr. Guest, I have selected outsourcing companies for sound here. Could you please take a moment? I did pick and choose. Still, I think the guest of honor should see it in person.”

“Wait. Umm. Just this. Hmm.”

“You need to make a decision quickly, so I can contact you and keep everything on schedule. That way, the guest can focus on development smoothly.”

“Yes, yes, I know.”

I absentmindedly overheard the conversation next to me. This is no different from a private.

But, I couldn’t help it.

I came here for the first time today. It was natural that the general director would not be able to figure out what to do since he did not decide on a separate shooter or assign a separate team.

I didn’t teach you anything here, but it’s even weirder if you do it quickly. It would be nice to be treated like a crazy person.

‘It’s strange and not a joke.’

Actually, I thought I could easily shake off the unfamiliarity of my first day at work.

I feel dizzy because I am stuck among people I am seeing for the first time. Looks oblivious.

Perhaps because of that, my lips, which normally open smoothly, didn’t come off as if I had applied adhesive.

Still, I couldn’t just sit still like a fool.

It’s true that I came because I needed 3 months of experience to put on my resume, but I didn’t come just because of that.

I glanced around intently.

When you make eye contact with someone who is not in mourning, only a social smile is returned. On the contrary, when Song Sang-joong made eye contact, the other side showed a strong reaction first.

“Keuuuuu! “Kwaak!”

Rattling, rattling!

Song Sang-joong, who had been rocking his chair back and forth, fell backwards. While the other developers were glancing at me, wondering what was going on, I jumped up from my seat and approached Song Sang-joong.

“Are you okay?”

Seniors? Sangjung? Sangjung? Or Mr. Song?

Various names lingered in my mouth, but I couldn’t get any of them out easily. I thought a horizontal structure without ranks would be just as convenient. It’s a bit uncomfortable in this situation.

“Miss, don’t make a fuss about the chair falling over. Because it’s okay. “Go to your own place and do your own thing.”

“Excuse me…”

“Oh, well. What!”

I opened my mouth while constantly remembering the saying that you cannot spit on a smiling face.

“Do you have any data research, data organization… Or even just cleaning. I was wondering if you would like me to do something for you. Because anything is fine. “If you just tell me to, I will work hard!”

What is this crazy guy doing?

… Song Sang-joong, who was looking at me with an expression on his face, sighed heavily and said.

“Hey, do you see the mess in the bathroom? I’m going to clean up over there. “Because that’s all they can do.”

I think he said it to make me feel bad.

“All right. I will work hard to sort it out. “While I’m at it, can I do some cleaning around here?”

I was happy.

The fact that I had something to do give me a breather. As she nodded with a smile, Song Sang-joong waved her hand away as if she didn’t want to see him.

“Do whatever you want, whatever you want! After all, no one will say anything about cleaning!”

I thought while fiddling with the broom in the corner of the bathroom.

Could it be that Yoon Su-ah felt this way too? I felt like I knew a little bit about how she happily took care of the cleaning.

「Ssuk!」

In this way, I am one step closer to becoming a cleaning king rather than a developer. I am now carrying a full garbage bag and moving it outside where there is no smell.

“No, how can you not care? It catches my eye, and it even makes a fuss next to me.”

“Just do it anyway. Who told you to ignore it? “I’m not telling you not to tick for no reason.”

Continuing from Song Sang-joong’s voice, did you say he was a content programmer? … The voice of the new guest was heard from the smoking area on the first floor.

I reflexively held my breath and stopped on the spot.

“A newcomer who just arrived. Are you even asking me to look at someone who doesn’t know how to do anything? What do you mean now? “No matter how horizontal a company is, this is not the case.”

From my perspective, Song Sang-joong was right. I feel at ease.

However, it seems that the guest of honor had a slightly different idea.

“How could such a person come into this company at this time as if he had fallen from the sky? Uh? “You can tell just by looking at the way the director treats that person.”

Shin Nae-bin taps Song Sang-joong on the shoulder.

“It’s a parachute, parachute. I’ve been living at the company for a week now. I didn’t even see that person come for an interview. Well, even if you had a personal interview outside, you and the CEO probably wouldn’t just be friends. If you touch that person by mistake, sparks will fly for no reason. It comes out when you watch something like a drama. “The character who was mean to Parachute is the first to receive justice.”

Those words were so cold that it took my breath away.

However, it wasn’t just wrong.

Still, it seemed difficult for Song Sang-joong to accept it. It was like a difference in personality.

“If that’s the case, shouldn’t we show a clearer stance on this side? As a member of the company and as a developer. Anyone can see that this is the CEO’s fault… No, it’s no different from being unreasonable. If it goes on like this…”

Shin Naebin cut her off and came in.

“Ha. You really have a tiring personality. Why are you so emotional?”

“Yes?”

“You little programmer, try thinking calmly. What kind of company is this, with over 100 or 1,000 employees? It’s a startup with about 10 people working like crazy and developing while somehow getting outsourced help. What can I do to rebel against the CEO in a place like this? Are you going to charge me with breach of trust?”

Shin Naebin frowned.

“You, CEO, no. Does the boss look funny because he always takes good care of us? What did the director say earlier? If you choose, you represent it, you are the president. Then, to some extent, you can do whatever you want. Why can’t you do that? Yes, the difficult position is that of CEO and CEO. So, to some extent, you do what you want.”

“…”

“I’m saying this because, after leaving my job as a developer, I’ve been living a social life for almost 10 years. An emotional person like you doesn’t survive long in society. Well, it doesn’t matter whether you leave this company or not. The idea is not to cause any harm to other people who are trying to cope calmly. I want to work at this company for a long time. “The atmosphere is pretty good, the people’s abilities are pretty decent, and above all else, Pay is good, Pay.”

As I listened to the guest of honor’s last words, I hid myself in a corner.

“More than anything, you’re too busy doing your own thing. Where can you afford to worry about others? I go up first. I think I spoke a bit harshly. Tsk, think about it carefully. “I said that because I want to work with you for a long time.”

Shin Nae-bin patted her on the shoulder once more and let her go up in the elevator.
A long sigh came from the back of the company building again and again. There is also a bit of swearing mixed in.

I also added a small sigh to that sigh.

If this happens, will Song Sang-joong treat me like a non-existent person like everyone else?

In fact, what Naebin Shin said may not be entirely correct, but it is not completely wrong either. I thought that if it were me, I would have done the same thing as those people.

Because bullying in the right way is more annoying than you think.

Tsk. As I quench my appetite, I throw away the garbage bag and come up.

Song Sang-joong, who was sitting in his seat, looked at me coming in from the entrance and stood up.

“Hyeonwoo Kim. Look at me.”

Huh?

You don’t ignore me?
