Episode 75
At around 10 a.m. on Friday morning, Taekwangmu Station staff were entering a training center in Gyeonggi Province.
It was a beautiful place with an unnamed mountain spread out beautifully behind and a small stream flowing in front.
The members of Gangjin and Export Agency Team 2 unpacked their luggage in the accommodations assigned to them at the training center.
Kang Jin smiled as he looked out the training center through the large window.
“It’s nice here.”
I liked that the room was spacious and had a great view through the large windows.
Lim Ho-jin, who was drinking coffee, said at Kang Jin’s words.
“It’s even better when we have a campfire in the evening.”
“Do you have a campfire too?”
“A lot of people do this when they come to the training center.”
Then, Im Ho-jin, who had been drinking coffee, got up.
“Just leave your luggage and leave.”
At Im Ho-jin’s words, the employees came out with him.
Other employees were also gathering one by one in the playground in front of the training center.
“Mr. Lee Kang-jin!”
Kang Jin turned his head at the sound of his name being called and saw Team 2 Overseas Business Manager Oh Seong Sil and his team members.
“hello.”
“How are you?”
“Well, that’s true. But you haven’t been coming here much lately?”
“It’s hard enough working as an intern, so do you really want to make it harder for me working at the store?”
The reason why Oh Seong-sil and her team members did not go there was out of consideration for Kang Jin.
Of course, from Kangjin’s perspective, it would be nice if they came for lunch but not for dinner.
“Then, after your internship is over, please come here often.”
“Of course. In fact, the president is waiting for the intern to finish quickly. Finding a place to have lunch is also a task.”
As we were laughing and talking, one person climbed up onto the stage in front of the sports field.
[Ahhh! Aahhh!]
A man spoke into a microphone several times.
[The president will be coming out soon, so please line up by department.]
At the man’s words, the employees began to line up by department. Kang Jin-do also parted ways with Oh Seong-sil and stood in line with his team members.
As the staff lined up, Oh Tae-kwang soon appeared in the training center building with the executives.
And Tae-kwang Oh, who had climbed up onto the stage, said with a smile.
[I’ll skip over that since you all know who I am. There are some great prizes up for grabs at this fall’s sports competition, so I hope you all run hard, get good results, and become great husbands and fathers to your wives and children.]
As Taekwang Oh came down from the stage, young people who appeared to be the event staff went up to the stage.
[Let me explain the schedule. The preliminary rounds for four events, soccer, table tennis, basketball, and wrestling, will begin at 11 o’clock. The schedule will be posted on the cell phones of each department’s team leader… ]
As the event organizer explained the progress of the sports event, Kang Jin spoke briefly to Lee Sang Seop.
“Mr. President, your speech is short.”
“Because he doesn’t like things like unnecessary procedures. And we’re not at an age where we should be listening to the principal lecture us.”
Kang Jin nodded at the principal’s words.
“Well, that’s true… …
A look of doubt appeared on Kang Jin’s face as he spoke. There was a tent pitched under the stage, and there were familiar faces sitting under it.
“Huh? It’s the professor and Gwanghyeon hyung?”
The professor and Choi Gwang-hyun were sitting under the tent. In addition, students from the professor’s lab were gathered around them.
‘Did the boss call you?’
The professor probably didn’t come to see him at the company sports day. Besides, Professor Im Sang-ok was talking to President Oh Tae-kwang and occasionally taking notes, and it seemed like they were talking about work-related things.
Then, Kang Jin took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Choi Gwang Hyun.
〈How did you get here?〉
〈You saw me. Where are you?〉
〈There are so many people here that I can’t be seen. What’s going on?〉
〈President Taekwang invited the professor to come with him to the sports day today to play soccer and eat delicious food. Oh! He also said that he would give each student 200,000 won. He asked them to come with him.〉
〈Twenty per person? Do students get money too?〉
〈If you don’t give us money, why would we come all the way here?〉
〈If you play and eat, you can earn two hundred thousand won
〉It’s really good.〉
〈That’s why I came. Hehehe, and we’re going to play table tennis and basketball… … They said if we win, they’ll give us prize money.〉
〈The fighting power has increased.〉
“See you later.”
〈I have to follow my teammates, so you need to come, hyung.〉
〈Or so.〉
Choi Dong-hae said to Kang-jin, who put his cell phone in his pocket.
“Let’s go.”
“where’?”
“We play table tennis in the auditorium with our domestic sales team 1.”
At Choi Dong-hae’s words, Kang Jin and his team moved to the auditorium. The training center had an auditorium where they could also do indoor sports.
Kang-jin, who moved to the auditorium, saw team members from other departments warming up.
Table tennis and basketball were scheduled to be played.
“Okay, then, Domestic Sales Team 1, Export Agency Team 2, please come to Table Tennis Table 1. Overseas Business Team 1, Domestic Support Team 1, please come to Table Tennis Table 2.”
At the shout of the agent, each department gathered around the ping-pong table.

“Manager, fighting!”
“Sangseop, fighting!”
With the support of their employees, Lim Ho-jin and Lee Sang-seop took out table tennis rackets from their bags.
Judging from the fact that he even had his own personal table tennis paddle, it seemed like he enjoyed it as a hobby.
“It’s a best-of-two system with 7 points.”
Taekwang Trading’s sports events consisted of soccer, 3-on-3 basketball, wrestling, and table tennis.
There, each department has its own soccer team.
Since it was played by combining circles, the number of games actually played was not that many.
It did not follow the official rules as all matches had to be played within two days and one night.
As soon as each player took their place, the match official started the match.
Blame! Blame!
Kang-jin, who was watching the ping-pong ball go back and forth, glanced at the audience seats at the back of the auditorium.
There were several beings in the stands.
‘It’s a ghost.’
Standing in the auditorium seats and watching the game were ghosts.
Since I started seeing ghosts, I have seen ghosts in many places. I guess it’s because there is no place where people don’t die, so I see ghosts wherever I go.
But these ghosts were a little bit special. I saw three ghosts.
They were all wearing the same tracksuit.
Kang-jin’s mouth watered as he looked at the ghosts who looked like high school students wearing blue tracksuits.
‘Did the students who came to the retreat get into some kind of accident?’
All the ghosts were bleeding profusely from their bodies. Kang Jin looked at the ghosts with a look of pity rather than fear, but there was a look of wonder on his face.
The group of ghosts, who looked like high school students, were a mix of male and female ghosts.
In terms of proportion, there were two female ghosts and one male ghost.
‘Isn’t that a virgin ghost?’
Maiden ghosts do not stay with regular ghosts. Even if they wanted to stay with them, other ghosts are afraid of them and do not stay with them.
But there are two female ghosts and a male ghost
God is with us.
Kang Jin, who was watching the ghosts, spoke to Kang Seong-su, who was standing next to him.
“Do you always have sports events here?”
“People are happy to hang out here and the scenery is nice, so most company events are held here.”
“Has there been an accident here before?”
In response to Kang Jin’s question, Kang Seong-su
I saw it.
“How did you know?”
“I just remember seeing it on the news.”
If three students who came to the retreat had died at once, it would have been news.
Kang Sung-soo nodded, as if Kang Jin’s thoughts were correct.
“Was it 6 years ago? There was an accident in the parking lot back then.”
“Accident?”
“The parking lot is located a bit lower now, but back then it was next to the auditorium.”
“But?”
“A car hit students walking to the auditorium.”
“Why? Are you driving drunk?”
Kang Jin suddenly remembered the incident of Go Young Woo dying while driving drunk and asked that.
“That’s not it… …
Kang Sung-soo opened his mouth, his lips licking his lips again.
“Sudden acceleration accident.”
“Rash?”
“At that time, there was an accident that seriously injured students. Many people were injured and some died.”
Kang Jin said to Kang Sung Soo, who seemed not to remember exactly.
“So?”
“So what……”
“What happened to the driver?”
“The driver was found not guilty.”
“Someone died?”
“I don’t know the details, but I think the verdict was that the driver was not in control of the situation at the time.”
“Then how did you know it was a rash?”
“There are a lot of cars parked in the parking lot. There is a video there.
If you look, you can clearly see the brake lights on the car that suddenly accelerated. Even though he stepped on the brakes, it jumped out with a bang! What’s more, the car’s black box also recorded the driver yelling.”
“Oh, but still not guilty…” That’s a bit true. A person died.”
Kang Sung-soo shook his head at Kang Jin’s words.
“What if he gets acquitted? It seems the driver was a school teacher… … the students he teaches
I think I saw the news that he ate fish and then dropped out of school and committed suicide.”
“Suicide?”
Kang Seong-su said as Kang Jin looked at him with surprised eyes.
“He must have felt very guilty. Even if the car suddenly crashed, the students were killed and injured because he was driving the car… … That teacher quit school, investigated the sudden acceleration, and sued the car company… … The car company won.”
“It’s hard for an individual to beat a car company.”
“Yes. They say he committed suicide a few days after the verdict was announced.”
Kang Sung-soo sighed as he spoke.
“When I see things like this, I realize that life is unpredictable. How could I have known that something like this would happen when I brought my kids to the retreat?”
“Only the dead are pitiful.”
“yes.”
“But sir, you know me well, right?”
“As we talk, I remember.”
Then Kang Sung-soo shook his head.
“People say that every day is the same and that it’s boring… … If you look at it one way, I think that a comfortable life would be one where yesterday is the same as today and tomorrow is the same as today.”
“That’s right.”
Kang Jin nodded as if he agreed and turned his head towards the ghosts.
It was done.
‘Have you eaten?’
Since I own a restaurant for ghosts, I can’t help but wonder if those ghosts are eating.
“nice!”
At that moment, Kang Jin turned his head and looked at Lee Sang Seop’s shout. When Lee Sang Seop raised his hand loudly, Im Ho Jin clapped his hands happily.
match!
It seemed like the match was decided while I was talking to Kang Sung-soo.
“Export agency team 2 won 2 to 1. I will send you the next schedule by text. Then,
As the next team entered the table tennis table at the event staff’s call, Lim Ho-jin was breathing heavily and wiping the sweat off his body with a towel.
Although table tennis seems to be played in one place, it is a sport that requires constant movement from side to side, so it consumes a lot of physical strength.
It was big.
“Whew! What’s our next game?”
Lee Sang-seop looked at his cell phone at Im Ho-jin’s words.
“Not now, but we have basketball at one o’clock after lunch.”
“Really? Then let’s go and get something to eat.”
As Im Ho-jin walked away in a good mood with a towel draped over his shoulder, his teammates followed him.
On one side of the training center’s playground, a buffet of catered meals was spread out.
There, on one side, a whole pig was turning over a fire.
Among the company people, those who didn’t have a game were already eating buffet food and having a drink.
“Wow… … That’s amazing.”
When Kang Jin looked at the buffet with surprised eyes, Lee Sang Seop said.
“Make it even better in the evening.”
“What happens in the evening?”
“The entire playground over there has been transformed into a barbecue place. The food is no joke. On one side, they’re even boiling yukgaejang, it’s chaos.”
At Lee Sang-seop’s words, Kang Jin licked his lips, picked up the tray, and began to fill it with food.
Kang Jin nodded after trying the food.
‘It tastes good too.’
Even though it is a business trip buffet, it is definitely delicious.
There was that too, and it was good. But… … .
‘It’s not as good as what I made.’
Kang Jin, who had finished eating, looked at his team members each having a glass of beer and said to Lee Sang Seop.
“I’m going to go for a walk.”
“Okay, then you have to come into the auditorium by one o’clock.”
“yes.”
Kang Jin bowed his head and headed towards the buffet.
He went over and started putting food on two plates.
‘You guys should eat some too.’
Kang Jin, muttering to himself, began to walk towards the auditorium.
