Executive Director Choi Kyu-jin visited the Chairman’s office with Manager Hwang Sang-soo.
“Welcome, Chief Choi. Who’s next to you?”
“This is Manager Hwang Sang-soo, who joined the planning team during this personnel season.”
“Ah! That friend from the Korean-English electronics planning team?”
“I saw you last year and this is my first time this year, Chairman.”
“Okay, okay. Sit this way.”
“So, are there any good plans submitted this time?”
Kyung-Hoon Choi asked with a voice full of expectation, and Executive Director Gyu-Jin Choi answered with a confident tone.
“Yes, Chairman.”
“What plans did the planning office select?”
“The first plan selected was the plan presented by Manager Park Hae-seong of Hanyoung Electronics.”
“Oh? What is it about?”
“The plan is that Hanyoung Group should strategically enter the battery business because many electronic devices will be miniaturized in the future.”
“It’s a battery business. If that plan is implemented, will it be separated into a new business?”
“I think I should be in charge of Hanyoung Chemical.”
“Hmm, I see. What’s next?”
“Korea-Young General Trading Company…”
When Choi Gyeong-hoon heard the term “Korea-English General Trading Company,” he naturally thought of Kim Cheol-soo.
“This is Manager Lee Jun-hak’s suggestion.”
“Lee Jun-hak?”
Choi Kyung-hoon was slightly disappointed that it wasn’t the name he expected, but he didn’t show it.
‘I never thought there would be so many talented people I didn’t know about.’
“Yes, Chairman. What Manager Lee Jun-hak proposed is a new business. In fact, it received great marks in the title.”
“Title?”
“Yes. The title is Home Care, and I was able to guess the content right away.”
“It’s home care. It sounds good.”
“Yes. With the opening of finance after the foreign exchange crisis, overseas funds are coming in and manufacturing industries are growing explosively. Therefore, we are starting from the premise that people’s income will increase dramatically and people will become more interested in their health. In fact, red ginseng Since health foods, including
“Hmm. Good.”
Kyeong-Hoon Choi suddenly remembered the project that Hanyoung Corporation won in Singapore.
“You won a Singapore hospital project from a general trading company, right?”
“Yes, Chairman. The friend in charge of the hospital construction project is Manager Lee Jun-hak.”
“Haha. I see. I think he’s really interested in health.”
Choi Gyu-jin answered while slightly nodding his head.
“Yes. Do you remember? I’m Manager Lee Hak-dong.”
Choi Kyung-hoon’s complexion darkened slightly.
“Remember Lee Hak-dong? He was caught by terrorists while trying to secure a contract in the Middle East. Could this be his son?”
“Yes, that’s right. Manager Lee Hak-dong was my boss at the time, and he was very interested in health. I think it was probably because of that influence.”
“The son followed his father into our company.”
Choi Gyeong-hoon repeated the name Lee Jun-hak several times and nodded.
Although the company made great efforts, they were ultimately unable to rescue Lee Hak-dong.
“Now, he has grown into an outstanding talent at a general trading company. He is a friend whose development I am very looking forward to.”
“Good! Good. The company made sure to compensate you afterwards, right?”
“Yes. As requested by the Chairman, the family provided compensation without difficulty.”
“Thank goodness.”
Choi Kyung-hoon relaxed his expression and nodded.
“next······.”
Approximately six plans were introduced, and Choi Gyeong-hoon expressed satisfaction with the level of talent entering the talent center.
However, I was very dissatisfied with the fact that Kim Cheol-soo’s name did not appear.
After introducing a good plan that could be implemented by the group right away, Gyujin Choi finally took out one plan from the file.
“and.”
Choi Kyung-hoon slightly raised his head and looked at him.
“This was a plan that we could not evaluate.”
“Hehe. Is there such a thing?”
Choi Gyu-jin was so good at handling work that he didn’t have to touch it since he took charge of the planning department, so Choi Gyeong-hoon was very curious.
Choi Gyeong-hoon, who received the plan from Choi Gyu-jin, flipped to the first page and looked at the title.
– Everything started to change.
‘her! ‘What a madman.’
And then I turned to the next page.
– Hanyoung Trading Company Sales Department 3 Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo
Choi Kyung-hoon’s eyes sparkled, and the corners of his eyes rose slightly.
‘Was this the guy who had the plan that Director Choi couldn’t judge?’
Soon, Kyung-Hoon Choi turned the next page with a feeling full of anticipation.
**
“welcome.”
When Lee Jun-hak and Park Hae-seong quickly got up from their seats, Choi Young-jun smiled and gave a light greeting.
“It’s been 5 days, right?”
“Yes. I think we may have asked too much since you are busy.”
When Lee Jun-hak spoke humbly, Choi Young-jun shook his head.

“Unlike my brothers, I couldn’t get into the talent center.”
Choi Youngjun said that and continued speaking as he sat down.
“I heard that people better than me have good stories to tell, so even if you’re busy, you should look for them.”
“If you humble yourself too much, we will be uncomfortable, Mr. Executive Director.”
“No. Come to think of it, aren’t we of similar age?”
“Yes, Executive Director. You are one year older, and Junhak and I are the same age.”
Choi Young-jun chuckled and nodded at Park Hae-seong’s words.
“That’s good. Then I’ll be the older brother, so you two can be the younger brothers.”
“ah······.”
“If it’s not an official situation, let’s do it that way.”
“but…”
“Let’s do that. Why are you finding it difficult, little brothers?”
Lee Jun-hak, who thought that when he drank alcohol, his appearance was completely different from his previous appearance, and that what he was doing now looked exactly like him when he was drunk, asked carefully.
“Did you come to have a drink?”
Youngjun Choi chuckled and shook his head.
“No way. I really want to get closer to my younger siblings. Come with me in the future. How about that?”
Unlike the cautious Lee Jun-hak, Park Hae-seong answered right away.
“Yes, brother. I like you too.”
“Haesung, you’re a bit impatient….”
“Hey, it’s definitely not President Choi Kyung-jun. What about President Choi Oh-jun? He hasn’t even met with us. You know that if you want to become an executive and move up in the company, you have to hire someone. Is there anyone else besides Young-jun?”
Youngjun Choi looked at Junhak Lee and asked.
“Does Manager Lee Jun-hak hate me?”
“No. It’s really good. But…”
“I guess it’s because of the world of office politics where if you step on the wrong line, that’s the end of it, right?”
“Yes, Managing Director.”
“No matter what happens, I have no intention of giving up. If we don’t give up, we will definitely have a breakthrough. And I thought the reason you called me here was because you found that breakthrough, didn’t you?”
Hae-seong Park exclaimed, and Jun-hak Lee looked at Young-jun Choi with slightly surprised eyes.
“As expected, my eyes were right. Junhak, this is a no-brainer.”
“hmm.”
However, Lee Jun-hak looked at Choi Young-jun with a cautious expression and said.
“I will decide based on today’s conversation, Director.”
Youngjun Choi smiled as he looked at Junhak Lee, who had a very cautious expression on his face.
This is because I remembered the story I had with Ahn Jeong-gyu not long ago.
– Manager Lee Jun-hak is a very cautious person. I also had a lot of trouble keeping that friend on my team. If you truly want to embrace that friend, you must endure it again and again.
‘Director Ahn. The only weapons I have are the ability to truly bow to others and patience.’
Youngjun Choi smiled and looked directly at Junhak Lee.
“Okay. Let’s listen to your story.”
After Choi Young-jun finished speaking, Park Hae-seong spoke directly.
“I have something to tell you about Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo’s plan.”
**
The day before the training ended, the Human Resources Center collected all of the trainees’ laptops, and evaluation of individual assignments began in the evening.
Although it did not accurately reflect reality because it did not take into account all kinds of lobbying and illegal and illegal methods, it was a game that allowed you to steadily learn the basic concepts of management.
In fact, because it was a simulation game that received a lot of praise from managers, it had its own justification from the HR perspective, even though it was the first process introduced this year.
Evaluation items included final business performance, stock price, and customer satisfaction.
“Now, let’s take a look.”
The trainee at the top of the list sorted by grades, or first place, was Hae-seong Park.
Even compared to second place, it was an overwhelming result.
Final business performance: + $1,821,934,211 / stock price $1,254 / customer satisfaction A+
Second place was Jang Hoon.
Final business performance: + $511,423,366 / stock price $532 / customer satisfaction B-
Third place was Lee Jun-hak.
Final business performance: + $491,245,388 / stock price $501 / customer satisfaction A0
Jang Hankook glanced through the list and tilted his head.
This is because Kim Cheol-soo came in last place in the individual task.
It was also last place, a long way from 29th place.
[30th place Kim Cheol-soo]
Final business performance: -$12,454 / stock price $38 / customer satisfaction B+
My education grade is 3rd, but my personal assignment grade is 30th.
Although I have been in charge of education for a long time, this was the first time that I had experienced such a large discrepancy in grades.
‘That’s strange.’
When we checked the comprehensive list of grades that combined educational grades and individual assignment grades, Kim Cheol-soo, who was in 3rd place, fell all the way to 12th place.
Of course, if there was this much difference, it was a natural result, but it felt strange and uneasy.
Jang Han-guk called in working-level workers and conducted a temporary inspection.
“Has trainee Kim Cheol-soo neglected his personal assignments?”
“No. According to our observations, he worked the hardest among the educators.”
“okay?”
‘I worked my hardest, but why did I get this result?’
“Did someone slander you?”
“There was no such thing.”
“But why did we get these results?”
“We also had questions and looked into it…”
“so?”
“But I don’t know how to explain this. Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo never restarted the game. I didn’t say anything because it wasn’t in the evaluation list.”
“hmm?”
Jang Hankook’s eyes sparkled.
“Is that true?”
“Yes, Director.”
“Is that so? Can you extract data on management performance by year from Trainee Kim Cheol-soo’s laptop?”
“Ah, yes. I will extract the relevant data and bring it to you right away.”
How many minutes have passed?
An employee entered Jang Han-guk’s office carrying the data.
I knew that
The last training session at Injaewon.
After two hours, trainees must return to their respective locations.
They received training from and met with numerous executives and employees of the Hanyoung Group, and most of them were people who would get involved in future succession battles.
Chairman Kyung-Hoon Choi always tended to encourage conflict and fights.
And because he liked the method of claiming the winner among them, he was neglecting it even though he knew that a succession war was currently taking place within the group.
A cruel world of office workers where winners survive and take everything, and losers have to quit no matter how talented they are.
Jang Hankuk began to briefly lecture before announcing the final grades and awarding awards.
“There are people who have no lines at work. So what do they experience?”
Everyone’s expressions hardened for a moment at the heavy question asked as soon as they entered.
Although we fought and laughed together during this time, we knew that when the time came, we would have to raise our claws and show our teeth.
“Those who do not draw lines because they do not want to fight often call themselves balancers. But it is quite funny for a weak country to call itself a balancer in the midst of powerful countries. Those who call themselves balancers should make a mistake of their own. “Because we have to fit everything together.”
Some people swallowed their saliva when Jang Hankook told them to clearly set the line.
“So, is the lack of a line really just your problem?”
Jang Han-guk glanced around.
All but one person were managers.
These were the people who would become team leaders and lead the team starting next year.
“If you have someone who has no line as a team leader, the team members under him will also be at a disadvantage. If there is no line, you cannot be recognized or respected. The subordinates who are at a disadvantage will express their dissatisfaction to you. ‘Don’t we have to make a living too? !’ “The moment you hear something like that from a subordinate, you have failed at your job.”
Jang Han-guk said as he spread the files he had brought on the table.
“If there are no lines, there are no fights, and if there are no fights, work life is easier in some ways. But every personnel season, you will find yourself struggling in bed. Human history begins with fights and ends with fights. Work life is “It’s a struggle to survive. Struggle is the essence of an office worker.”
There was no sound of breathing.
Jang Hankuk burst into laughter in the extremely calm and tense atmosphere.
“Why are you so nervous? Nevertheless, life is yours to manage. How was the training for a month?”
Only then did everyone sigh and relax.
Within the Hanyoung Group, there were people called Choi Kyung-hoon’s people.
About 20 people.
They had such great influence within the group that no explanation was needed.
One of them was Jang Han-guk.
Each facial expression and every tone of voice contained the skill of tightening and loosening the audience.
Kim Cheol-soo carefully watched Jang Han-guk’s words and actions.
‘As expected, it was a place where there was a lot to learn.’
Jang Hankook began the class by handing out materials to the trainees.
“What kind of subordinates do bosses hate?”
Many people answered his question.
“Aren’t you an incompetent subordinate?”
“Aren’t you a disloyal subordinate?”
Several questions were asked, and Jang Hankuk wrote their answers on the blackboard.
“Are there any more?”
“I think I would most dislike subordinates who are competent but are dissatisfied and do not listen to their superiors’ instructions.”
Jang Han-guk’s chalk stopped for a moment at the answer from one side.
He turned his eyes towards the sound and saw Kim Cheol-soo slightly raising his right hand.
‘hmm.’
“Why do you think that?”
Kim Cheol-soo calmly responded to Jang Han-guk’s words.
“Excellent ability will cause competition in the boss, and if there are a lot of complaints, it will create hostile feelings. Also, if subordinates do not listen, the boss will feel that he has been ignored. No boss will like such a subordinate. .”
Jang Han-guk chuckled with an expression of bewilderment.
“Have you ever dealt with an organization?”
Of course it was, but it was something that couldn’t be explained, and Kim Cheol-soo shook his head slightly.
“no.”
“Now that I’ve told you the correct answer, I don’t feel like lecturing.”
“I’m sorry, Director.”
“No. That probably means that the qualifications of this year’s Inwon Inwon trainees are exceptional.”
The trainees thought as they watched Kim Cheol-soo talking to Jang Han-guk.
‘He’s definitely the most prominent person here.’
‘It sticks out too much. But strangely, I don’t hate it.’
‘Wouldn’t this rider be first?’
‘Which line is it?’
‘A unlucky kid from a local university is acting proud.’
Jang Hankuk conducted an hour-long class in a slightly lethargic tone, and after a short break, the final class began.
“Cherry blossoms are in full bloom on the road, and spring has come even more clearly. I can see a lot of forsythia. I am grateful to everyone who completed the class safely in a small human resource center.”
Jang Han-guk placed the documents he had brought on a desk and asked questions to the trainees.
“Guys, have you ever seen the cleaning staff while taking class?”
Everyone shook their heads at those words.
“I’ve never seen it before.”
“Do you know why our classrooms are always kept clean when there is no cleaning staff?”
Everyone was just tilting their heads as if they were dumbfounded, and Jang Han-guk focused his gaze on Kim Cheol-soo.
‘I did it without anyone knowing.’
Jang Hankuk ticked off the checklist with a ballpoint pen.
“Don’t you think someone cleaned it up without anyone noticing?”
“Is there any reason to do something so irrational and unproductive? If you do something, you should show it.”
Jang Hoon, who was sitting in front of him, answered, and Jang Hankuk also looked at him and nodded.
“That’s right. All of the people who receive training here are the best employees in each affiliate, so they deserve to be treated as such. And they will be sitting here with that thought in mind. But what if you were one of the people sitting here? “If you want to have a subordinate as a subordinate, who will you choose: the employee who sits still and receives treatment or the employee who quietly organizes the classroom without anyone knowing to create a pleasant environment?”
The trainees nodded, naturally thinking it was the latter, and only Sohn Hoon kept his mouth shut.
“There’s a guy sitting among us who came every day of the morning for 30 days to clean the classroom. Maybe he didn’t want us to know until the end, but I don’t want to.”
Jang Han-guk glanced at Jang Hoon and then turned his eyes to look at Kim Cheol-soo.
“Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo, wake up.”
Kim Cheol-soo stood up from his desk, and all eyes were on him.
‘also.’
‘that’s right. ‘Who else but Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo?’
‘What a wonderful person.’
‘Unlucky.’
“Shouldn’t we at least give a round of applause to Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo, who has helped us to engage in education in a pleasant environment?”
When Jang Hankook clapped his hands, loud applause poured in.
“thank you.”
When Kim Cheol-soo gave a light bow and sat down, Lee Jun-hak patted Kim Cheol-soo on the shoulder with the corners of his lips raised.
“I thought it was you, idiot. How are you the same wherever you go?”
“Oh, no, Chief.”
“Hey, Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo, don’t you want to come to the Korean-English Electronics Planning Office? I will highly recommend it.”
Lee Jun-hak said as he slowly turned Park Hae-seong’s head in the opposite direction, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Kim Cheol-soo.
“It’s such an absurd thing to say. How are you going to cause harm to our team leader?”
“You just have to convince your team leader, right?”
Lee Jun-hak frowned at those words and said.
“If you want to be treated like Manager So, just say something.”
“Ha! That’s scary, man.”
When the hall became quiet, Jang Han-guk called Kim Cheol-soo again.
“Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-su.”
“yes.”
“I have a question for you.”
Kim Cheol-soo quickly got up and the crowd’s attention focused on him again.
Yesterday, Jang Han-guk looked at Kim Cheol-soo’s game data and was a little surprised.
Although the game started with a huge deficit due to sloppy progress, traces of desperate efforts to avoid a game over were clearly visible.
In that process, various management methods became more elaborate, and it was eventually submitted with most of the initial losses incurred.
“It’s a question about a personal assignment.”
“yes.”
“Why didn’t you restart when you had such huge losses in the beginning?”
“I couldn’t think of restarting.”
“You don’t know how?”
“No, I wasn’t playing a game, I was running my own business.”
“You said it was a business, not a game?”
“Yes. You can restart the game, but usually… you can’t restart life, right? You can’t restart a business just because it didn’t go well, right? You have to get through it somehow, right?”
Jang Hankuk nodded with satisfaction at Kim Cheol-soo’s words, and many trainees, including Park Hae-seong and Lee Jun-hak, who were listening to Kim Cheol-soo’s words, let out a short exclamation.
It was only now that I realized that the meaning of this personal task was not just about performance.
Jang Hankuk also began this personal task within the category of acquiring management methods.
However, the true achievement of this game was discovered through Kim Cheol-soo.
It was quite encouraging that he did not give up on a company that was struggling with huge losses, but instead persisted and eventually revived it.
I don’t think you’ll be impressed by his data.
Moreover, Kim Cheol-soo was a young assistant manager, 27 years old this year.
“I understand. You heard me well.”
As Kim Cheol-soo sat down, Jang Han-guk took out the grade list from the file.
“We will not reveal all of these grades. However, as we announced at the orientation on the first day, the top three will receive prize money and certificates. Please note that we will not reveal what rank they placed in. However, what will those who received good grades receive from the talent center? “It would be good to remember once again how well you have participated in education and imitate their good qualities. Those who are called should stand up.”
Jang Han-guk quenched his thirst with a water bottle and then read the list.
“Korea-Young General Trading Company.”
All eyes were on Kim Cheol-soo, but a different name came out of Jang Han-guk’s mouth.
“Chief Junhak Lee.”
Lee Jun-hak stood up with a surprised expression, and people’s exclamations of admiration came from all over.
Jang Han-guk then called the next name.
“Manager Park Hae-seong of Hanyoung Electronics.”
Park Hae-seong, who was next to Lee Jun-hak, jumped up and smiled.
“finally······.”
Jang Hankuk’s gaze moved down the list.
