Chapter 361 – Episode 361

Even if there are no secrets in the company.

Even the co-representatives heard rumors about me? Isn’t that a bit too harsh?

I think it could be because Oh Hanam is ridiculously amazing, but it feels a little unfair. Should I not have been picked up by that guy back then? Still, I think the talisman was somewhat helpful… Grump.

‘Or are you just staring at me because my outfit is unique?’

Isn’t that too bad?

Even though the tie was a bit old-fashioned, it was a pretty casual style as long as the shoes weren’t visible.

‘I don’t think it’s an illusion.’

Aside from Park Geung-jeong’s words.

Even now, I was making eye contact with co-CEO Moojin Yoon once or twice. It would be a bit difficult to dismiss this as just a coincidence.

‘Even though the member of our group stands out the most, isn’t it a bit harsh?’

While I was thinking about this and that, Moojin Yun began to speak again.

“I think this is a very shameless thing to say to new employees who have just joined the company. I have high expectations for you. It’s also very big.”

Regardless of the content, the manner in which he spoke was very polite.

Is that the trend these days?

If it were Han Se-ryong or Oh Cheol-ho, I think they would have started yelling at them in informal language as soon as they got into this position. I guess that person isn’t that old. I feel like something has been modernized.

By the way, you have high expectations for a new recruit?

“Some people may be wondering why we have such high expectations for new employees. I think someone already knows the reason.”

It was then.

Shin Jeong-seok, with his shoulders tense for no reason, mutters as if he were talking to himself.

“That’s because UL Soft is in crisis. “That’s why I applied here in the first place.”

I can’t tell if that’s what they’re telling us to listen to, or if they’re really talking to themselves.

What on earth are you asking, our group members.

There is no normal, normal.

“That is because ULSoft is currently facing the biggest crisis it has ever faced since its founding.”

「Roaring roar」

CEO Moojin Yoon’s unexpected words made the quiet surroundings become noisy. That’s right too. Usually, co-CEOs or other people don’t say out loud that the company is in crisis.

In order to protect the stock price, the co-CEO always pretends to be doing well in front of people. It was a truly unconventional confession.

I was a bit surprised too.

“They say being honest is the trend these days. Even if I lied, it would soon be revealed, so I made it clear. Of course, I am completely sincere in my expectations for you. Some people may be promoted quickly, and some say they don’t want promotions these days. It would be entirely possible to receive only enormous compensation. However, we must take some responsibility.”

Moojin Yoon strongly argued.

“Here’s my promise. “I will pay the person who saves our company from a crisis whatever compensation that person wants, without any tricks.”

I was a little impressed when I saw Yun Moo-jin like that.

This time too, I almost applauded without thinking.

‘Successful people are different.’

Regardless of age, people in positions such as co-representatives certainly seemed to have an excellent ability to understand the trends of the times.

In fact, these days, such a frank attitude often moves the hearts of the public.

It was a world where even the slightest lie could be quickly discovered. Rather than being foolish and deceiving, it was best to just be honest and push forward.

“In that sense, I don’t know if I’m already being too greedy. Aren’t there roughly hundreds of people gathered here?”

Huh? But what is it?

This is a bit… It seems so unexpected, doesn’t it?

While we were tilting our heads, Moojin Yoon asked us a question.

“What do you think we should do to overcome the situation of ULSoft, which currently has a poor image and is in crisis?”

“…”

“It’s not a burden. “Let’s talk comfortably.”

I said I didn’t mean to be a burden.

There was silence in the main auditorium for three seconds. First, no one raised their hand. Everyone who joined ULSoft wasn’t a complete idiot.

‘If you stay still, you will get halfway.’

… There is no way you don’t know the word.

The guy who raises his hand here is either an asshole who doesn’t know anything, or a guy who isn’t satisfied with the middle ground.

But I didn’t know that there was someone in my group who wasn’t satisfied with the middle ground.

“Oh, there’s that nice gentleman with glasses raising his hand. “Let’s answer.”

It was Shin Jeong-seok sitting at the far right corner of me.

I couldn’t believe it, but this kid proudly raised his hand and even stood up.

‘I will lead the change. Because I am the type of person who wants to prove my own worth from the beginning.’

In another sense, he is truly an amazing cub.

“My name is Shin Jeong-seok and I have joined the planning team. Ultimately, I believe that in order to restore your image and achieve success, the most important thing is to be liked by consumers. From that perspective, the top priority is to create a plan with a high probability of success through thorough analysis, and to hire appropriate and excellent talent…”

Shin Jeong-seok’s words lasted longer than expected.

Appropriate arguments and evidence were made with clear diction, but… Well. Is it just my delusion that CEO Moojin Yoon looks at me with a sour expression?

“Hmm. That’s a great answer. I’ll be honest with you. Mr. Jeongseok.”

“…”

“That answer is probably something anyone who has been with the company for just one year can give. If I were to give you one piece of advice, it would be to say that some of the people who work at ULSoft may be pathetic. “There are no stupid people.”

“… Advice, thanks… “I do.”

Shin Jeong-seok’s expression, who flopped down, was so stiff that even Park Geung-do, who always had a fake smile on his face, briefly erased his smile.

But what Yun Moo-jin said was not wrong.

That was one of the things I felt while living a rough life in this world. Although there may be people who are less skilled or strange in certain fields, most people are not fools.

Of course, there are very few people who are not. How many cases do you see such people in real life? Unless you are a civil affairs department that has to deal with basic recipients every day.

‘Hehe, it’s okay, so it’s over.’

Well, Shin Jeong-seok was amazing just by answering…

“Then, let the person next to you answer as well.”

“Yes? Me, me?”

Fuck.

What is this again?

I thought it would end with Shin Jeong-seok’s announcement. Suddenly, co-representative Moojin Yoon points to us one by one and stands us up.

Park Geung-jeong, who was next to Shin Jeong-seok, stood up in a daze and answered.

“Well, it’s important for me to make efforts in a positive direction…”

“Who is next to him?”

“… “Wouldn’t it be okay to ask AI?”

“The person next to him.”

Following Park Geung-jeong, Jegal Ye-eun and even Park Chae-yeon returned.

What was funny was Park Chae-yeon’s answer.

Even in front of Yun Moo-jin, she did not feel discouraged at all, and clearly showed the side of a bitch who had lost her mind. He shouts with a prouder expression than anyone else.

“I think we also need excellent leaders. Just like our leader!”

“Hoo?”

For the first time, a different voice came out of Yun Moo-jin’s mouth.

What does that mean? I think your expression has improved quite a bit?

Then, Co-CEO Moojin Yoon finally looks directly at me and asks.

“Then, Mr. Kim Hyun-woo.” What do you think?”

… Write, what is it?

Is my name tag clearly visible from far away? Is that person even Mongolian?

Even though I tilted my head, I didn’t give an answer right away. I realized through my experience with Han Ae-bom that even if it is a sudden situation, there is no need to respond because everything is urgent.

It would have been better to give a proper answer even if it meant pausing for about a second.

‘A company in crisis that has ruined its public image. What should I do to revive this?’

To make this possible, you probably need to make an achievement that will surprise Oh Hanam.

What was the reason he fell in love with me?

‘Personally, I don’t really like ordinary things. ‘Because it’s not fun.’

Okay. Ordinary things are no fun.

The public felt the same way.

‘Is this possible based on common sense?’

When my thoughts reached that point, I was already speaking without realizing it.

“All you have to do is destroy common sense.”

Talking crazy, so confidently.

However, CEO Moojin Yoon smiled brightly and clapped for the first time at that crazy sound.

After spitting it out, I was dumbfounded.

What is this?

“Good. I will give extra points to Hyunwoo Kim’s group, and since I liked his answer, I will prepare a party so that everyone can enjoy the last day of the training.”

Yoon Moo-jin’s nuance felt as if he was giving a reward that would have been given anyway.

Well, it sounded different to me.

As if they were already expecting something from me… Maybe I wasn’t the only one who felt this way.

I can feel some people looking at me with strange expressions.

And, less than 10 minutes later, co-CEO Moojin Yoon quietly left the room.

A rumor began to circulate within ULSoft’s training center.

It was a rumor about me.

* * *

“Hyeonwoo, your name is coming up here and there? Well, he’s the hidden grandson of the CEO of ULSoft. Or the ultra genius who originally decided to join MASA.”

“It’s all bullshit so don’t worry. Until last year, I was a single person who only worked at a convenience store.”

Even though I tried my best to make excuses, there was a member of the team who didn’t believe me.

Shin Jeong-seok speaks in a sarcastic voice.

“If you get extra points for such a ridiculous answer, it might not be completely unreliable.”

“…”

A ridiculous answer?

Oh, the answer is that we just have to destroy that common sense?

I sighed softly and called Shin Jeong-seok’s name.

“Hey, Mr. Jeongseok.”

“What is it?”

I think I’ve put up with a lot at this point.

Although I am a pushover, that doesn’t mean I’m always looking down on him, but it doesn’t go to the extent of actually tearing him apart.

No, more than anything, I can’t just nod my head when I hear something that I think is wrong.

‘You never know. Guys like you might change the world.’

‘Only Hyunwoo always exceeds my expectations.’

‘Yes, that’s enough for a man. Baby, I think it looks kind of cute when you look at it like this.’

The people I’ve met so far who have already achieved success have never ignored me like that from beginning to end. Rather, he saw me with his own eyes and changed his evaluation of me faster than anyone else.

If I didn’t say a word to Shin Jeong-seok here and now, I felt like they were being treated like fools, which made me even more uncomfortable.

[The intimidation skill is activated.]

[Overwhelms the opponent.]

“If you look at it with such narrow-minded perspective, you will never be able to dream of change in your life.”

“Ji…”

Shin Jeong-seok, who was reflexively trying to shout something, was speechless and stopped in place.

Seeing Shin Jeong-seok like that, I felt calm and added a word.

“If the co-CEO gave you advice, please take it.”
