Episode 32
When all the arrangements were finished, with Lee Kang-jin’s name as the last, the employee spoke.
“People will come from each department. When your name is called, follow them to your department.”
As the staff went out with the horse, Kang Jin turned his head to Choi Dong Hae, whose name was called along with his.
Choi Dong-hae was… … fat. He wore glasses.
He was fat, had dark skin, and was definitely not a handsome man.
“You’re in the same department as me. I look forward to working with you in the future.”
Choi Dong-hae hesitated for a moment at Kang Jin’s greeting before extending his hand.
“I look forward to working with you in the future.”
Kang Jin, who exchanged greetings with Choi Dong Hae, looked at the door. People came in one after another through the door, called out names, and led the interns out.
Went out.
And I moved to the department with someone from Gangjin-do Export Agency Team 2.
Taekwang Trading occupies the 8th to 14th floors of this building, and the second team of the water supply company was located on the 10th floor.
As we led Kang Jin and his group to the place where the export agency team was gathered, an employee named Lee Sang-seop gave a brief explanation of the work.
“Export agency is when we sell goods on behalf of small and medium-sized businesses that want to sell goods from Korea to foreign countries.”
Then Lee Sang-seop looked at the two people.
“Is there anything you don’t understand?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Lee Sang-seop looked at Choi Dong-hae at Kang Jin’s answer. Choi Dong-hae shook his head at that gaze.
doesn’t exist.”
Lee Sang-seop, who had been looking at him for a moment, walked again and read the two people’s resumes. Then he looked back at Kang Jin.
“Psychology… is your department?”
“yes.”
“No……” What……”
Lee Sang-seop paused for a moment, then tasted something and started walking again.
“Why did the psychology department come to our company as an intern? No, how did they come?
“Did you become an intern?”
It is an old saying that choosing a career depends on your background, but civil engineering companies hire civil engineers, and architectural companies hire architects.
Likewise, Taekwang Trading also hires employees in trade, management, or foreign language departments. In particular, in the case of interns, resumes are received from each school’s trade department, so there are almost no cases of them coming from the psychology department.
“I understand that one person was selected from our department.”
“Where did you say your school was?”
“This is the letter office.”
“Department of Psychology, Seosin University… …
Lee Sang-seop, who had been thinking about something for a moment, looked at Kang Jin as if something had come to mind.
“ah!”
Then he looked at Kang Jin for a while and sighed.
‘I heard that the Department of Psychology at Seosin University is hiring an intern… … Damn! I have to know trade terms to even organize documents.
I guess I should at least know… …
I don’t make my interns do their work properly, because if something goes wrong, there’s a problem.
So, I had them do chores or unimportant tasks, but if they weren’t majoring in trade, they wouldn’t even know the trade terminology properly… … I had to teach them how to walk from the very beginning.
Lee Sang-seop sighed at that and then started walking and saw Kang Jin.
“What does an export agent do?
“Could you explain?”
Kang Jin answered Lee Sang Seop’s question right away.
“Unlike large corporations, small and medium-sized businesses do not have export know-how or sales channels, so they entrust export agency work to trading companies.”
Lee Sang-seop looked at Kang Jin as if he was surprised by his answer.
‘Have you studied a bit?’
“Then what should I do with the items that I was entrusted with exporting?”
“We connect our company with places where small and medium-sized businesses can sell their products among our existing business partners. If the business partner wants to buy, we export the products, and our company receives a commission accordingly.”
Lee Sang-seop nodded at Kang Jin’s words.
“that’s right.”
While they were talking, they arrived at the second export agency team.
The second export agency team consisted of seven people.
There was a manager as team leader, two assistant managers, and five regular employees.
‘The overseas business department had a team leader as a manager, but here he’s a section chief.’
When Kang Jin was thinking like that, Manager Lim Ho-jin, the head of Export Agency Team 2, spoke.
“First of all, congratulations on coming to our company as an intern.”
“I look forward to working with you in the future.”
When Kang Jin bowed his head first, Choi Dong Hae also bowed his head. Looking at the two, Im Ho Jin continued speaking.
“If you have any questions while interning, ask Mr. Lee Sang-seop here and get instructions. And don’t try to work too hard.”
“yes?”
Kang Jin looked at Im Ho Jin as if he was puzzled by his words.
“During the internship, I was very enthusiastic.
There are people who do things that were not ordered. If it goes well, it is a good thing, but… … In most cases, it ends in an accident. If you make a mistake, do not try to fix it yourself or hide it, but tell Nana or Mr. Lee Sang-seop right away. That way, the problem can be fixed.”
“All right.”
When Kang Jin answered, Im Ho Jin looked at Lee Sang Seop.
“Please show me to my seat and tell me what to do today.”
“All right.”

Lee Sang-seop guided the two to a desk on one side and put down a file.
“These are the projects our team is currently working on. Please familiarize yourself with them today. Also, the files must never be leaked outside the company, so you must keep them in the office and read them only.”
As Lee Sang-seop, who had been paying close attention, went to his desk and started working, Kang Jin and Choi Dong-hae also opened the file.
I started reading down.
Kang Jin nodded while looking at the file.
‘You did well in your studies.’
There were a few words I didn’t know, but other than that, I had no problem reading it.
Of course, being able to read and being familiar with it are different issues. While reading the business contents of the export agency team 2, Lee Sang-seop
It came.
“I’m going to a meeting now. Let’s go together.”
“All right.”
As the two people got up, Lee Sang-seop left the office holding a folder of documents.
Lee Sang-seop left the office, got on the elevator, opened a file, checked its contents, and then said.
“I’m going with you to show you how to do meetings. Different behaviors
“Don’t do that.”
Kang Jin and Choi Dong Hae nodded at Lee Sang Seop’s words. Lee Sang Seop, who had gotten off on the first floor, suddenly looked at the two.
“Please get your ID back at the counter and come to the cafe.”
When he pointed to a cafe located inside the building, Kang Jin and Choi Dong Hae went to the information desk and got their IDs back.
“I’m 28 years old. Mr. Choi Dong-hae, how old am I?”
“I’m 26 years old.”
Choi Dong-hae was two years younger than Kang Jin.
“Although we are of the same age, I hope we can be comfortable together like military buddies during our internship.”
“yes.”
Kang Jin unconsciously looked at Choi Dong Hae up and down as he answered simply.
And he tilted his head at the fact that Choi Dong-hae’s feet were pointed in the opposite direction to his own.
‘Do you hate me?’
Feet express likes and dislikes. They move toward people they like, and move away from people they dislike.
This was an instinctive reaction.
‘Do you think of me as a competitor?’
When I thought about it, it made sense. From the interns’ perspective, becoming a full-time employee is the best outcome.
So the same interns are with each other
They are both equals and competitors. Moreover, Kang Jin is not a trade major but a psychology major… … so he will be treated like a stone that rolled in.
‘Hmm… I guess I’ll get more hate from the interns than I thought.’
Anyway, Kang Jin and Choi Dong Hae went into the cafe. There were a lot of people inside the cafe.
Since it was a coffee shop located within the company, there were a lot of office workers there, and outside
It seemed like there were a lot of instances of meeting people.
And on one side, Lee Sang-seop was seen sitting with two men.
As Kang Jin approached, Lee Sang-seop pointed to the seat next to him. When the two sat down, Lee Sang-seop saw the kitchen knife in his hand.
As Lee Sang-seop silently looked at the kitchen knife here and there, the man across from him spoke.
“Have you heard of a cucumber cleaver?”
“I’ve heard of this sword that is also sold in the game.”
As the cucumber cleaver became popular, it was made into a small-sized weapon in the game.
“If we just put a cucumber pattern on our knife, it becomes a cucumber knife.”
“This is it?”
“Because the cucumber cleaver became famous, people started making and selling cucumber cleavers here and there, but they were all fake.
“At work, it comes out as a cucumber cleaver, but that’s also fake.”
“I heard that story. They’re not even a knife manufacturing company, but they’re coming to Korea with the name of a German company.”
“Even though Germany makes good kitchen utensils, the original cucumber knife came from Korea.”
“So this is the original?”
“No, we are fake too.”
Lee Sang-seop was puzzled by the man’s words.
I looked at him as if.
“But?”
“Even if it’s fake, our knives are just as good as cucumber knives. That’s why other companies stamp cucumber patterns on our knives and sell them as cucumber knives. I think half of the cucumber knives on the market are made by our company.”
“It’s not a cucumber cleaver, but it’s so good that it’s being sold as a cucumber cleaver.”
“yes.”
At the man’s words, Lee Sang-seop looked at the kitchen knife here and there and then looked at Kang Jin.
“Please bring me some straws.”
At Lee Sang-seop’s words, Kang Jin went to the counter and got a few straws.
After receiving the straw from Kang Jin, Seop cut it with a kitchen knife!
Lee Sang-seop nodded as he watched the straw being cut.
“It’s very sharp.”
“What will happen?”
In response to the man’s question, Lee Sang-seop looked at the kitchen knife and nodded.
“I need to check a few things… …but I’ll try to come up with a plan.”
“If it’s confirmed?”
“We will check your company’s production volume and the condition of the goods.”
“Can’t we just give them the goods?”
“If we could just handle the export transportation for your sales outlets, that would be fine, but what you want is for us to secure the export and sales outlets. Since we have to do the brokerage through our business partners, we only take on export agency roles for places we can trust.”
At Lee Sang-seop’s words, the man looked at his colleague next to him. The colleague nodded slightly.
“Okay, I’ll wait for your call.”
When the other party stood up, Lee Sang-seop shook hands with them.
As the other party left, Lee Sang-seop looked at the kitchen knife and then at Kang Jin.
“Ah! You two should go and order a cup of coffee each. While we’re at it, let’s have a cup of coffee and then go in.”
When Lee Sang-seop gave him the card, Kang Jin took it, ordered coffee, and returned.
Lee Sang-seop, who had several sets of kitchen knives on the table, took them all out and cut them one by one.
Looking at it, Kang Jin also stealthily picked up a kitchen knife.
Swish!
Lee Sang-seop, who saw it, said.
“How about a knife?”
“It’s sharp.”
“55,000 won for a set of a kitchen knife and a fruit knife
“It’s a thousand won. Are you going to buy it?”
“Is it expensive?”
Since Kangjin has only ever lived in a goshiwon, he never had to buy a kitchen knife to use.
But since I worked part-time at a mart, I knew the prices of most items.
The cheap ones were ten thousand won, and the expensive ones were around twenty or thirty thousand won. Fifty-five thousand won was a high price for a kitchen knife.
Lee Sang-seop drew his sword at Kang Jin’s words.
He said after looking at the list.
“German-made knives cost from two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand won, so it’s not that expensive.”
Lee Sang-seop, who had been fiddling with a kitchen knife for a moment, stroked his chin.
“The stuff is good, but… …
Kang Jin nodded while watching Lee Sang Seop think about something.
“The stuff is definitely good.”
Lee Sang-seop saw Kang Jin’s words.
There was.
“What do you mean?”
“The stuff definitely seems good.”
Lee Sang-seop looked at Kang Jin, who was saying the same thing.
“What about the stuff?”
Kang Jin looked at Lee Sang Seop, who was asking why he only said things that were good, and then stared at the place where the two people had just been sitting.
“The stuff is good, but… … those two people are hard to trust.”
