Chapter 321 – Episode 321

“I am…”

I had a bit of trouble breathing. Not so much that it’s clogged, but slightly annoying?

“If you don’t want to talk, it’s okay.”

“If you don’t want to talk about it, it’s a trivial spec.”

This time, Choi Do-jin’s words, which I hate to see, were not wrong. Even though they say that rice bows its head as it ripens, there is no need to boast about it in today’s world.

Because the fact was that I didn’t have the courage to be humble.

“I graduated from Woongin University’s Department of Computer Engineering.”

I’ve never been ashamed of the university I attended in my life.

I might be a little embarrassed now. I think I understand why some high school graduates suddenly become obsessed with college while living their social lives. Even if you graduate from college, you still cringe when faced with comparative specifications. How would you feel if you never went to college?

“Yes… In University?”

What was surprising was Choi Do-jin’s reaction.

Woongin University is not a place that falls to the bottom level, but it is also not a university that people would immediately recognize upon hearing about it.

Should I say that it is similar to the fact that people who lived in other regions only know Pusan ​​National University when it comes to famous universities in Busan?

‘I thought he would laugh at me, but Choi Do-jin seems to know Woongin University again?’

Rather, the people around me reacted as I expected.

“Where is Woongin University? Person… “It’s Seoul, right?”

“Fit… I think so? I think I saw that name at first glance when I was filling out my college application forms a while back. What is certain is that it is not a school famous for its computer engineering department.”

People seemed puzzled and even surprised themselves. Their faces are surprised that they are judging people based on their university name without even realizing it.

But, it can’t be helped.

Just like when someone tells me that they graduated from Seoul National University, I unconsciously burst out in admiration. If someone tells you that you graduated from a university you’ve never heard of, it becomes unclear how to react.

“Wow, Woongin University isn’t that bad of a school.”

“Huh?”

Why is this guy like this?

Rather, Park Chae-yeon, who was next to him, tilted her head when she saw Choi Do-jin defending Woongin University.

“Do you have any relatives attending Woongin University? Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“Well, it’s not like that, is it? Ah, that’s it! University is okay. Do you have anything to brag about, like your TOEIC score or something like others said earlier?”

I told them that my TOEIC score was 770 and that I had worked at Mintrain for about 2 months, which is closer to 3 months.

Only then does a smile bloom on Choi Do-jin’s face. Even if she catches a gun, she looks like she got it right.

“Wow, 770 points in TOEIC. Wow, this is really so bad. Who gets scores like that these days? Everyone here has a minimum score of 900, and there are tons of things to put in their portfolios. Also, Mintrain? 3 months? What kind of experience do you have at a company you’ve never heard of? Are you going to tell me that you’ve gained experience in just three months?”

“…”

“Suddenly the tension drops drastically. “It’s shameful that someone with these qualifications is targeting UL Soft!”

Rather than going down, the tension seems to have gone up several times?

And, if you said that in front of Na Chang-yeon, the CEO of Mintrain… No, there is no need to go to Na Chang-yeon. Wouldn’t it be resolved along the lines of Anna-tae, the general director of the development team?

However, the surrounding atmosphere was strange.

No one sympathized with Choi Do-jin’s words.

“Omg! It’s true that your TOEIC score is low, but Mintrain? Mintrain, it’s a mess right now. “It’s a great company!”

“This place is scoring 3.5 points on Walk Korea! To be honest, they say that a company with a score of 2 on Work Korea is considered a decent company, but a score of 3.5 means that it is a perfect company. Even the lower score was because I was kicked out because of my own fault, according to the community posts.”

“I heard that the game demo video and teaser video will be uploaded soon. “It’s a place full of chaos just for the illustrations.”

That wasn’t what Park Chae-yeon, who has senior Kim Seol-hwa in Mintrain, said.

People who were just listening quietly started making a fuss. Rather, Park Chae-yeon just quietly nods her head.

“That’s right. That Mintrain. It’s a very good company. I can tell you more clearly because my senior is currently working there. “The benefits are good, the pay is good, and the CEO is young, so the company has a clear horizontal structure with a young mind.”

People around me look at me with great eyes.

“How on earth did you hear that…?” Ah.”

I tried to ask out of curiosity, but when I realized that there was only one way to get into Mintrain as an intern right now, everyone kept quiet.

Networking. Currently, the only way to enter Mintrain is through personal connections.

Everyone seemed to know that this was a company that could only be achieved by at least getting to know the CEO.

Is that why?

“… “If it were me, I wouldn’t necessarily go to UL Soft, but I would just stick to Mintrain.”

Someone says that.

Rather than being an intern, I felt like I could stay at Mintrain if I wanted to. However, it wasn’t wrong.

“Well, Mintrain said I could keep going if I wanted to. I am drawn to UL Soft. Mintrain isn’t a bad thing, but I wanted to do something a little bigger.”

It was then.

When the surrounding atmosphere was different from what he had expected, Choi Do-jin, who had been sweating and teasing her, opened his mouth because he thought he had an opportunity.

“Puhaha, wow, this is really absurd.”

Wait a minute.

Suddenly, someone started to pop into my head. What should I say?

That way of speaking, that way of speaking… It’s not a joke, I think I’ve heard that before somewhere. When I say something, it’s as if I’m deliberately eliciting a reaction from those around me with exclamation.

Choi Do-jin, Choi Do-jin… ?

‘Use, I think it will come to mind. I can’t remember it. It must be frustrating.’

Even while tilting his head, Choi Do-jin continued to talk.

“Hey, I think you’re misunderstanding something. Just because they join UL Soft doesn’t mean they can do anything big. Is this person saying something huge is going to happen? People like this always cause major accidents at the company.”

Why do I think you’ll have a bigger accident than me?

“Rather, if you want to do big things, you should stay at the company that makes mint chocolate or something. This is the first time in my life I’ve ever heard something so absurd that one employee would do something big after joining a large company. I don’t want to work for a big company, but I want to do big things? Just do what you are told and do well. That’s the mindset that employees of large companies should have.”

As much as this, Choi Do-jin’s words were correct.

It is said that one of the biggest differences between large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises is the division of work roles. I heard that in the case of large companies, there are really rigidly defined tasks. Like a part of a machine.

However, it could be a huge arrogance.

I saw him as a person for whom the ‘correct theory’ did not work well. If that had been a human being, the current human relationship could not have been formed.

I wonder if three ultra-beautiful women came to the studio where I lived alone, and each of those women had their own circumstances.

Are you saying that your background and abilities are that great?

Fuck, who could go through something like this?

‘Wouldn’t Chairman Han Se-ryong turn a blind eye if he even made a casual visit, as he did when he came here for a drink?’

Well, that won’t happen.

“Ah, I’m scared, I’m scared. Even people like this won’t pretend to be fine during an interview. They’ll even teach you various things in the study group here, so if you use that to pass the exam… It’s like an unexpected landmine has appeared at UL Soft. Even if you are a developer like me, ugh, we will meet face to face.”

I think I would be amazed.

How can the exact words I want to say come out of your mouth? I think Park Chae-yeon also mentioned it. In an interview, he pretends to be an S-rank person, but when you actually look at him, he’s a D-level person. Isn’t that the guy?

What is certain is that Choi Do-jin and I do not have even a 0.1 percent chance of apologizing to each other. They completely recognized each other as enemies and defeated each other.

They were the ones who started the fight in the first place!

“Hey, what you said was too serious… “Didn’t you do it?”

One of the people around me, who usually did not like to interfere in other people’s affairs, seemed to think Choi Do-jin’s words were harsh this time and covered me up with a word.

Then, Choi Do-jin’s eyes become sharp.

“Did I say something wrong? How about being good at that? Based on your impressions, I think you’ll be rejected because you won’t be able to speak properly in the interview.”

“What…”

I thought this was an insult worthy of a slap in the face. The person who was frightened by Choi Do-jin’s eyes kept her mouth shut and lowered her head.

‘Certainly, there are many people who are passive.’

It may feel frustrating to a strong person, but Korea has not yet been called a country where people with loud voices win.

Cases like that often happened in real life as well.

Instead, the number of people around me who can’t stand seeing things like that has increased.

“Hey, aren’t you doing it in moderation? Really? Do you want to rummage? Fuck you bastard. The study group atmosphere is ruined because of you! Even if you prepare for the technical interview and personality interview right now, it won’t be enough!”

“Hi!”

Choi Do-jin hiccuped after Park Chae-yeon’s sudden death. At that moment, I burst out laughing. If you put a red hat and sunglasses on Park Chae-yeon now, that’s it. The instructor who gave me hell during guerrilla training.

‘It’s so funny to think about what I learned from my older brothers and younger brothers. Choi Do-jin’s reaction is even funnier.’

On the other hand, he must have been embarrassed that he also had hiccups.

Choi Do-jin’s face turned red. Why are you staring at me in that situation? Who doesn’t know how to glare?

“Finch!”

Unlike that person before, I am Choi Do-jin, who gives back in kind and ends up doing nothing. I can’t help but hate that sight.

It was a typical strong-yak-yak-yang appearance. Strong to the strong, weak to the weak…

“Phew, it looks like the self-introduction is almost over. How are you going to proceed with the study group in earnest? We also teach you what to prepare for joining the company, and there are also materials I brought with me. After handing them out, we will finish early today.”

Park Chae-yeon sighs and has no choice but to fulfill her role as group leader.

“However, I am not surprised if I finish early. All I ask is that you study the materials I am giving you. These days, companies’ cutoff points have risen a lot, but in the end, the difference is who prepares better. If you do well, you will be selected. The important thing here is not to delude yourself into thinking that you are good at something. In particular, what most people who have been interviewed have in common is the mistaken belief that they answered well. Do you understand?”

“Yes!”

It’s not like the military, but it feels like a barracks camp.

This wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Although some people looked uncomfortable with this atmosphere and Park Chae-yeon’s charismatic attitude, they didn’t seem to miss the study group.

Because Park Chae-yeon’s ability was certain.

[There are no expected technical interview questions/answers. Please fill it out on your own.]

[Expected personality interview questionnaire/There are no answers to this either. After thinking about it on my own, I will check it in the next study group.]

After hearing a detailed explanation from Park Chae-yeon about how the study group works, everything is over, and we are disbanding.

Dojin Choi tried to push my shoulder, but instead she screamed and glared at me.

“Evil! This bastard… You, let’s wait and see. Really.”

It was absurd for me, who stayed quiet from beginning to end.

What is that guy really doing?
