Chapter 230 – Episode 230
“What are you here to clean? Cleaning… Lady, how did you do it so neatly!”
What is this person really?
I followed him all the way to the rooftop and couldn’t hide my curiosity. Still, it’s been 29 years. I thought I had seen all kinds of people while working part-time at a convenience store.
This is another unique type.
I understand why Shin Nae-bin said to Song Sang-joong that he was ’emotional’.
If you look at it another way, it means that you are honest. I guess it means he is a person without any tact.
“You asked. “Are you here to clean?”
Rather.
All the tension was gone. It seems like the unfamiliarity of my first day at work and my first company disappeared at some point.
“No. “I didn’t come here to clean.”
“Then, what did you come for?”
“I want to gain experience.”
I felt it as I watched the words naturally come out of my mouth. Still, I am a more savvy person than Song Sang-joong.
“Experience, experience… Well, these days, you can only get a job if you have experience. Fuck. “If that’s the case, it’s hard to say anything.”
I also thought I was an emotional and honest person.
It was worse than that human.
“Because I don’t have a good personality like other people. “I can’t talk because I’m spinning around.”
To me now, that person seems to have a better personality.
Well, this is because there are differences in each individual’s standards. In any case, I am happy to see Song Sang-joong for me now.
If I were in the position of the new guest, she would have given me advice with sincerity, but she would have been completely ignored, so I would have been a little upset.
Whatever it was, it was a fact that Song Sang-joong was the only breathing hole for me now.
As director Anna Tae told us.
Then you can’t help but get cooperation. Because I too am desperate to achieve my own goals. I feel a little sorry for the innocent Song Sang-joong, but in the end, I was a selfish person who put myself first.
“After! Parachute.”
“Yes?”
Took, touk.
… Asked Song Sang-joong, touching the side of the shoe he was wearing.
“Parachute, right? Be honest. A person with no skills was brought in as a new employee. You said you didn’t even go to the interview? Mintrain is not a large company that trains and uses new recruits, so anyone can see that it was a parachute to come in like this.”
I was a little surprised by the perfect fastball.
Because when I was hit by a fastball like this, I thought it would be quite embarrassing…
Rather, I thought it was ridiculous.
‘Is this what Oh Hanam felt when he saw me?’
It wasn’t scary at all.
On the contrary, I thought of at least one way to take advantage of this person, which was even more creepy.
I answered right away just to shake off the goosebumps.
“Yes. You’re right. Parachute.”
“Ha, I’m going crazy. I never dreamed that I would come face to face with a parachute in my lifetime. “Over here.”
Song Sang-joong reflexively tried to stab me in the chest with his index finger, but belatedly took his hand away and said with a sigh.
“I really don’t like that place. It’s not just that, dog, I don’t like it. Do you understand?”
“…”
“To be honest. I just can’t understand other people either. Do you see how other people treat you now?”
“Yes, well, to some extent.”
“At this level, they’re not even professional QA, but it’s an atmosphere where you can just sit at the desk all day and just play games and laugh it off. Do you think that makes sense? At work! That’s what a person who receives the same salary is doing! That doesn’t make sense!”
Well. Does it really make no sense?
… At that point in time when I thought about it, I also felt like I was leaning towards a way of thinking like Han Se-ryong or Oh Han-nam rather than an ordinary person.
‘But, that’s the reality.’
I also understand how Song Sang-joong feels.
It must be unfair. I’m going to be pissed.
To put it bluntly, it’s like the factory employees working hard, but the boss’s son working next to them for only 3 hours and receiving twice the salary of the employees just because he’s the boss’ son. Even that work involved surfing the internet and playing games.
But, apart from being unfair. That was reality.
… No one would necessarily say that out loud. It was the same for me.
Just as it is not okay to say anything between friends as long as it is a fact, it was best to avoid things that might cause unnecessary conflict as much as possible.
“I also think it makes no sense. So, anything… What do you want to do? Cleaning was also one of those tasks.”
It seems like the way he speaks is becoming more and more like Oh Hanam.
Probably not? Please.
“Can’t I just leave? No. You said you came here to gain experience. No, but fuck it. Is this what you came here to gain experience? Why?”
Well, you probably came here because you got to know Na Chang-yeon, right?
“I guess so.”
In fact, if we were to use the expression ‘because of reason’, this side also had something to say. Since I had only one choice, I had no choice but to join Mintrain.
Even in my situation, I can say that I have met these kinds of people.
I may be talking too much for my own pleasure. To put it bluntly, there may be people somewhere in this world who welcome you easily, whether you are a parachute or a newcomer.
‘Is this why there are judges?’
I mutter this to myself. Song Sang-joong continued speaking while sighing repeatedly.
“I am. As I said before, I really don’t like that one. Why? I had a really hard time joining this company. To be honest here, the salary is high.”
Since the salary is high, people with some abilities have gathered, right?
Moreover, it seems that the reason Song Sang-joong had a hard time joining this company was not necessarily lack of ability. I think personality also played a part.
“It was so hard to come in. How would you feel if a parachute like you fell from the sky? No, what would it feel like?”
“It must be bad, right?”
“That’s right. Bad. It’s so fucking bad. It’s really annoying. When I think about it, oh, it’s really just… Tsk.”
Still, I don’t think I’m completely social.
You held out well in the end.
“I can’t! I really don’t have the confidence to just watch that guy mess around right in front of me and move on. So, if you come in as a developer, do your part as a developer. But I have no intention of entrusting all the work to someone who knows nothing.”
Suddenly, Song Sang-joong rummaged through his pockets and handed me a USB.
“Inside this is a minigame that I created to become a developer, with a play time of about 30 seconds. In the case of our company, we use UBT for game development. “You know some C#, right?”
“Yes. “I know.”
“Then, I use that to somehow create a result that is similar to the minigame I made. Within a week. To find out how to make it, you either search for it, look through Stackflow, or use a knowledge man. Just figure it out. As for assets, well, there are a lot of free assets these days.”
Honestly, I don’t know if a week is a leisurely time or not.
There is no need to complain here.
“I understand.”
“Wow, you answer well. We’ll see. If you can’t do it within a week… !”
What if you do it?
By any chance, are you going to give up mid-song at that time?
“At that time, I’m going to tear you up like crazy. I want you to know that. “It doesn’t make sense for someone who joined the company as a developer to receive money and not be able to do that much.”
Still, you never give up. That’s amazing.
“Yes, I understand.”
“It comes down later. Because I don’t want to go down with you for no reason.”
“Yes.”
I lowered my head while fiddling with the USB.
With a bang, Song Sang-joong closed the door and left.
After a while, I was exhaling naturally and groping my arms, when I heard a voice from above.
“Why? Do you want to smoke a cigarette? “Would you like to give me one?”
“Surprise.”
Looking up.
At the rooftop entrance, where a water tank would be perfect, director Anna Tae’s face sticks out.
“No, thanks. “I told you this morning, but I’m quitting smoking.”
A giggling sound comes from above.
“But you probably want to be a defendant.”
“Everyone wants to smoke while quitting smoking.”
“Apart from that. “As you were talking with your wife in mourning, didn’t you feel like you wanted to smoke out of some unknown frustration?”
“Well, well… Yes.”
In the end, Anna held her stomach and burst out laughing.
“Kkkk, it looks like my lifespan has increased by 48 seconds with just that.”
I say this while lighting a cigarette.
“Whew. Sangjoong is a good kid. I have the ability… Tsk. It’s because people are so tired. Are you saying that I, the general director, am the only person afraid of giving orders? If you ask him to do something, he never just does it. Isn’t this right? Isn’t this right?”
Just thinking about Anna Tae made her body tremble as if she was disgusted.
“Actually, you can. It is a fact that if you work hard that way, there is a high chance of getting better results. But what if I’m not that type?”
“Then you must be tired.”
“I’m tired. Just turn around… In particular, I only give compliments to people in mourning, and sometimes I just say that you should be the boss. It’s similar to me taking out my anger because I’m tired. To begin with, I’m not the only one working with him. But, he thinks he only works with him. Ugh.”
As someone who served in the military, I understood it right away.
If I were to use an analogy, Song Sang-joong is a completely passionate commander who only values FM. In fact, he would be better off as a commander. Even though he is tired, he knows what is right, and he has some favorites among his soldiers. The problem is that Song Sang-joong is in the position of a soldier, not a commander.
In some ways, Song Sang-jung’s confrontation with Director Anna-tae was the same as a soldier interfering with the battalion commander’s command by complaining and dissatisfying every single incident.
When I think about it that way, I feel like I’m still alive.
“What can I do? A company is a group that pursues profit. From the perspective of a director who has to help people pursue those interests, I have no choice but to place importance on the results, regardless of the process. In that sense, Sangjoong produces good results.”
Anna Tae added, curling the corners of her mouth.
“Besides, even though he talks trash to me, he’s very gentle in front of the CEO.”
I nodded my head reflexively without realizing it, but then was shocked. Although she belatedly pretended not to notice, Anna-Tae’s eyes were already slightly narrowed.
“Hey, I know, dude. My face is just a little scary, and there is a part of me that looks like a bit of a dick. There is also a bit of a rough-and-tumble image. In comparison, what about the CEO? To be honest, he is the CEO of a company at that age, he comes from a good family, and his height is over 190. Not only does he have a good fashion sense, but he also has a good-looking face. People even kill charisma.”
I sympathize with you a hundred times.
Na Chang-yeon, who was fiddling with his tie and raising his glasses in front of Oh Hanam, was so fucking scared.
“To put it nicely, charisma. To put it in a bad way, his eyes are scarier than the director.”
“… “What?”
Anna Tae, who was momentarily embarrassed, grabbed her stomach a second time.
“Ah, ah, I’m crazy. “It’s so funny, really.”
“Besides, if you really want to be specific, I’m in the same department as the director. While working part-time at a convenience store for 1 year and 6 months, I always heard from the store manager that your asshole-like appearance was your weapon. Thanks to that, customers come comfortably. “I actually don’t know how many times I listened to customers’ complaints while paying at the counter.”
“Eh? You’re too tall for that… I thought you did it. It’s true. Looking at it up close, it looks like fucking shit. Is there a reason why Sangjoong was more comfortable pushing it? Ugh, since they said it was a parachute, I misunderstood that I was a person who lived an easy life. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
I thought as I watched Anna Tae tapping the top of my head from above. I don’t know anything else, but I’m sure I’ve gotten a little closer to this person.
“I wish Sangjoong was half as socially good as you are.”
“Everyone has their own strengths.”
“If that bastard was a person who knew how to talk like that… !”
I asked with a small smile.
“By the way, Director.”
“Huh?”
“What are you doing there?”
“Ah… I was thinking about photosynthesis. How can I lead these damn developers with maximum efficiency through the remaining schedule?”
“Uhm. Okay. But does the CEO know? “What the director thinks while photosynthesizing.”
At that moment, Anna Tae, who flinched, muttered while half hiding her face.
“Take back what I said earlier. Mourning is better. “What a scary bastard.”
Then she adds one more thing.
“What can I say about you? Still, if I become a representative or president of somewhere, I won’t be completely ruined.”
“Why?”
The answer that came out of his mouth was surprising.
“A piece of shit like you… No. People who have a good impression but are also good at tact usually start a company. The minimum is mid-beat, and even if that is not the case. Even though it took a long time, it was successful in the end.”
At those words, I stroked my chin.
“That would be great.”
And then, horrifying words reached my ears.
“Oh, hey. “You just looked like Vice President Oh Hanam of Ilha Group?”
Fuck.
