Chapter 323 – Episode 323

Has there ever been a time when a quest was as enjoyable as today, as much as this moment?

I haven’t even checked the content yet, but adrenaline, dopamine… Whatever it is, I feel something pleasant rising in my body. Would you say it feels like a child who believes there is a Santa at Christmas just before opening the wrapping paper of a gift placed under the tree on the 25th?

I was looking forward to it that much.

As soon as I check the contents of the quest, the temperature that had been boiling suddenly drops.

‘What is this?’

[Let’s join ULSoft’s planning team.]

[0/1]

[Reward: 500,000 won, low-level joint massage skill, fragment of ■■]

[The above quest is a quest that must be cleared at all costs. If you refuse, all rewards given from quests so far will be recovered. The same applies if you fail.]

I can’t even help but laugh because I don’t understand what this means.

What are you going to do with me now?

What came after the embarrassment was a creeping anger. Should I say that I feel like I was completely fooled? If this is going to be the case, why did you enter Mintrain? I built my career there as a developer, not a planner.

Why?

Because you need experience to get a job! However, I built my career as a developer. Now he wants me to get a job as a planner. It didn’t even give me a choice.

‘Whoa, I feel dizzy.’

In some ways, as kind as the quest had been to me so far, I couldn’t help but feel more embarrassed. Did I shamelessly expect too much? Since it was a quest given in this situation, I thought it would be about screwing over Choi Do-jin and Choi Do-hyung.

“Oh my, why is our Hyunwoo so stiff? Since I’m here, if you do well, you might be able to become a programmer at ULSoft. “If I join the company, I will become a subordinate to my junior.”

“…”

As I watched Choi Do-hyung scoffing next to me, I actually burst into laughter. At least I don’t have to worry about becoming that bastard’s subordinate.

When I let out a leisurely smile, Choi Do-hyung looked at me for a moment as if he didn’t like me, but then turned his attention back to the people.

“Then, instead of staying outside in the heat, should we all go inside? Today, I will tell you everything about how ULSoft is currently running, what the atmosphere is like within the company, and what ULSoft is focusing on recently.”

Is it really because he is such a normal human being on the outside?

“Yes, thank you.”

“I think it will be a big help.”

“If it comes from someone who works at ULSoft, it has credibility.”

There are already more than one or two people who have fallen for Choi Do-hyung’s tricks. I think at least half of it has passed. At the same time, Choi Do-jin, who was next to him, also raised his nose.

“Hey, since you’re already here today, I can’t help it… Next time, contact me in advance.”

“Child, why are you being so stiff? Let’s go together happily. That’s Chaeyeon, right? I heard there are two older brothers above me and three younger brothers below me. As I heard from Do-jin, the person has good abilities, but his personality is so hard that he looks hateful.”

“…”

As if interrupting her was not enough, Park Chae-yeon’s face hardened as she saw Choi Do-hyung touching her shoulder and talking to her as if they were close friends. Then, Choi Do-hyung withdrew his hand with overaction.

“Oh my, now that I think about it, I should be careful. Even in the company atmosphere these days, female employees generally don’t touch each other. “This time, one person suffered great harm due to a false accusation.”

“What… “You say?”

“Is that why? There is a female quota system, so we have no choice but to hire female employees, but there seems to be an atmosphere in which they are less likely to hire female employees than last year.”

Then, the female members of the study group looked anxious.

Choi Do-hyung saw that and smiled leisurely again.

“But, if you just trust me, you don’t have to worry? Just trust your brother. I told you so. I went to UL Soft for 2 years. “I already know everything about how this company works.”

“I believe you!”

“Please, please let me get a job. “I really want to join ULSoft.”

“Yes, I understand that you are desperate. “I will make sure you get a job.”

What the hell, it’s so damned.

Personally, it’s great that he can be so confident and boastful, but I also admire the people who fall for it.

Well, it’s not easy to see it around me. Surprisingly, there are quite a few types like that.

These are the types who take money out of their bank account and give it to them even though they have only just met, saying, ‘I trust you unconditionally.’

‘I don’t really want to belittle people, but I’m curious. ‘What kind of thoughts are you living your life?’

Actually, it wasn’t the time to worry about others.

[Let’s join ULSoft’s planning team.]

I still couldn’t understand what this meant.

If we had been able to talk, I would have at least asked the reason.

[…]

At this point, it was no longer possible to hear responses to system messages.

Also, refusing the quest.

* * *

While I was in a daze, Choi Do-hyung, who seemed like he was going to teach me something great, was taking up one spot without doing anything.

“Ah, first, I think I need to see how you usually conduct your study group so that I can identify and inform you of any problems. I’ll be watching you here for a moment, so proceed as usual. “As usual.”

“…”

I don’t know anything else.

I know at least that Choi Do-hyung is a person with good savvy. And, in companies, people like that usually get promoted the fastest. Well, it wasn’t unfair.

Personally, I am a person who sees tricks as skills.

To put it bluntly, it is said that the number of people who do not participate in company dinners has increased significantly these days. Unless these people have a true conscience, they must be aware that people who participate in dinner parties are promoted faster than them or have more opportunities to do so. .

I’m sure that doesn’t mean he doesn’t admit it either. That’s a bit like that.

‘After that, I worked at a convenience store for 1 year and 6 months and met all sorts of people. Without realizing it, I start to look at people in a negative light.’

Let’s not do that.

Isn’t this something you hear every time? Everyone has their own thoughts.

“Sweet, but I think everyone needs to take better care of themselves. I think I need to pay more attention when going for an interview. Should I say that they all look too clunky? Because the first impression wasn’t that good. First impressions are especially important in interviews.”

Yes.

That bastard who is pretending to be proud and saying things that I don’t know exactly whether they are right or wrong must have his own thoughts.

“Huh, then let’s get right into it as if it were a real fight. No one expected a rehearsal, right? I think we all know that finding a job is not that easy. The roles will be divided into three interviewers and four interviewees.”

Although Park Chae-yeon doesn’t like it, she decided to be the interviewer with Choi Do-jin, who would be even more annoyed if she didn’t take him with her.
I was immediately put in the position of being interviewed.

I might be a little nervous, but my mind was so busy that I couldn’t concentrate.

‘This is all an interview to get into the development team.’

I immediately studied the questions from the development side for the technical interview, and the same was true for the personality interview.

I’m going to turn around.

I am in a position where I have to join the planning team due to a quest. Should I take the development team’s study group seriously? No, since it is the development team that has prepared today, we have to do it at least in order not to ruin the atmosphere… Damn it.

‘I’ll have to get separate counseling from Chaeyeon later.’

I mutter that to myself.

Park Chae-yeon is calling me.

“… Mr. Woo. Mr. Hyunwoo Kim!”

“Huh! Yes!”

I’m surprised.

For a moment, my heart sank. This is because the force that Chae-yeon Park exuded when speaking as the head of the study group and Chae-yeon Park as an interviewer were very different.

Furthermore, now that I was in the position of being interviewed, the pressure was no joke. Although it was an exercise in a pressure interview where you were asked to feel that.

“I just called Kim Hyun-woo’s name three times. Where on earth are you putting your mind? “You applied to our company as a joke?”

“No!”

“Keep your wits about you. “Okay then, let’s get straight to the question.”

Park Chae-yeon asks, pointing to the woman to my left.

“What are the four characteristics of object-oriented (OOP)?”

“Object knowledge, orientation is the use of objects and interactions to develop applications and computer programs…”

“Wait a minute.”

“Hi!”

“Did I just ask about the definition of object-oriented? You asked about the four major characteristics. I would be grateful if you could just answer what I ask.”

Polite, but sharp.

In fact, for a moment, the answer to the question did not immediately come to mind. It was definitely information that I had memorized until this morning.

‘The pressure of an interview is considerable.’

So, you may even be interviewing at a company. It would be more likely to select people who can perform well even under such pressure.

Well, seeing as people like Choi Do-hyung are also selected, I can’t say that’s the right answer.

It’s probably closer to the correct answer than any other method.

“S-sorry. “I can’t think of anything.”

“…”

「Sweet」

The woman on my left even tried to shed tears as Park Chae-yeon checked something as if she was afraid to apologize. Even when I first met her, I felt it, but she really was a woman with a soft personality. So she might be more desperate.

“Next…”

The pressure interview continued. Aside from being nervous at first, all four of us passed the technical interview.

That’s right too. All you have to do is line up the correct answers.

The real problem was the personality interview. From here on, I had decided on the right answer to some extent, but when I actually opened my mouth, the answer changed little by little.

Especially, even if it’s someone else.

The questions directed at me were harsh and extremely painful.

“Are you aware that Kim Hyun-woo’s qualifications are particularly inferior compared to other people?”

“Yes.”

“Actually, it’s amazing that I even came to this interview… Then, why should our company hire Hyunwoo Kim, whose qualifications are much lower than others?”

In a way, it’s a typical question.

A question that may naturally come up in a personality interview.

What differentiates you from other applicants and why should we select you?

… I also had a lot of worries about this.

Because you can work harder than anyone else? Because I can work like a dog better than anyone else?

That sounds funny. Passing with such stereotypical answers was only possible in dramas. In reality, what kind of answer do you have to give to pass?

“I am living a life like a typhoon this year. I continue to experience things that others cannot imagine. I think that is still in progress. Therefore, I am confident that I will be able to infuse this energy into this company. “If you choose me, you will never regret it.”

In a way, it was the best answer I could give right now.

Is there anything other than this that can properly express who I am now? I met three beauties in a studio apartment, started dreaming of polygamy, and was meeting a lot of people that I would have never met even if it were me before.

However, the world was not that easy.

Park Chae-yeon looked at me intently, and then she slowly spoke.
“Failed.”
