Mid-May.
“What fruit did you buy like this?”
Jinsook Yoon took several black bags from Kim Cheolsu’s hands.
“It’s summer soon. You have to eat well to avoid the heat. And I’m going on a business trip for a few days. I feel bad if I eat well alone while on a business trip.”
“Oh my. They told me not to spend money on things like this. But where should I go on a business trip?”
“Uh, go to Kenya.”
“What town is that called?”
“It’s in Africa.”
“Hmm. But if you go, be sure to take care of yourself. The boiler has been turned on. Wash up.”
“uh.”
While Kim Cheol-soo was washing up and coming out, Yoon Jin-sook washed some of the fruits that Kim Cheol-soo had bought and placed them in the room where her sons were.
As I entered the room, drying my washed hair with a towel, I saw Youngsu smiling, eating fruit and studying.
“You said you ranked first in the entire school in this midterm exam?”
“Did mom tell you?”
“Oh, that’s how you brag on the phone during the day.”
“Thanks to my brother.”
“just?”
“Yes. They nourish your body with such good food every day, but it won’t work if you can’t study.”
Kim Cheol-soo put the towel he used to dry his head in the laundry bin and took out a white envelope from the pocket of the suit he wore during the day.
“what is this?”
“My younger brother was first in the whole school, so I can’t stand still.”
“Wow! 100,000 won? Is it really this much money?”
“There were sneakers you wanted to buy, right? I couldn’t buy them for you because I didn’t know what they were, so buy them yourself.”
“Wow! Thank you. I’ll use it really well!”
“Are you going to take first place in the next final exam?”
“of course!”
“go for it!”
When Kim Cheol-soo clenched his fist and held it out, Kim Young-soo glanced at him with a childish expression and then turned his gaze to the book.
Kim Cheol-soo smiled pleasantly at Young-soo’s reaction, turned on his laptop and sat down in front of it.
Then, I opened the stock window and smiled proudly when I saw the red arrows indicating that all the invested stocks were rising.
Total investment amount: 11.2 million won.
The estimated assets of the current account are 16.1 million won.
Current rate of return 43.8%.
‘good! If things continue like this, it won’t be long before we buy a house.’
After looking at the stock window and running the happiness circuit once, Kim Cheol-soo closed the window and searched for information about Kenya on the Internet, lost in thought.
‘The coffee beans belong to Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak. It’s not mine. Then you should be prepared to sign a new contract there.’
What can we sell to Kenya, which is suffering from severe hunger?
Kim Cheol-soo recalled the puff-fried rice cake machine at Gadeok Machinery that he once visited.
It was a town where food was scarce.
Maybe they also like fried rice, which was the favorite food of Koreans who suffered from extreme poverty after the war?
‘Let’s just wait and see. Didn’t you say the production cost was 300,000 won?
It’s a good time
Eels look exactly like snakes, and silkworms look like butterfly larvae.
People are scared when they see snakes, and women are disgusted when they see caterpillars.
However, when a fisherman sees an eel, he catches it right away with joy, and a woman who raises silkworms touches the silkworms without hesitation.
When Park Jun-hyung talked to Hwang Dae-hoon, he told a story from Han Feizi.
“What do you think it means? Mr. Hwang Dae-hoon.”
Dae-Hoon Hwang tried to answer Park Jun-Hyung’s question, but he did not understand exactly what Park Jun-Hyung meant.
“People react differently depending on their experience…”
In response to Hwang Dae-hoon’s answer, Park Jun-hyung sighed and shook his head.
Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon’s intrusion broke the board, and because of Kim Cheol-soo’s ability beyond imagination, Park Joon-hyung was completely ruined.
He was even called in by CEO Yoo Ji-hoon and broken up without mercy.
In addition, Deputy Manager Ahn Jeong-gyu’s promotion was completely fixed in the next personnel evaluation.
I’ve been working at the company for a long time, but this was the first time I lost like this without being able to use any skills.
It was an explosion of anger.
“It is said that people these days study a lot, but wisdom cannot keep up with the old people. Fishermen make money with eels and farm women make money with silkworms. That money is a lifeline for ordinary people who are worried about food right now. Thinking that it would be difficult to preserve her life without this money, she grabs scary snakes and disgusting caterpillars. “It means that people can do anything for their lives.”
Hwang Dae-hoon bowed his head in response to Park Jun-hyung’s abuse.
“Mr. Hwang Dae-hoon also caught the Chairman’s attention, but is there someone running in front of me? “Who is it?”
“This is Kim Cheol-su.”
“that’s right. Everyone thought it was a huge crisis. And since you turned the crisis into an opportunity, you must have made a good impression on many people. When time passes quietly like this, Dae-Hoon Hwang cannot help but hear the voice of the second-in-command. Are you satisfied with that?”
“no.”
“You said your dream was to be the boss, right?”
“yes. Boss.”
Park Jun-hyung really didn’t like Kim Cheol-soo.
When I thought about all the things Kim Cheol-soo said about the 5 sales teams, it was all praise.
‘This bastard has been playing with me all this time?’
However, Kim Cheol-soo’s method was incomprehensible.
If he had shown great ability from the beginning, it would have been Kim Cheol-soo, not Hwang Dae-hoon, under Park Jun-hyung now.

President Yoo Ji-hoon and the talented Kim Cheol-soo who held his own.
‘It’s a fantastic lineup, but I can’t help it.’
Park Jun-hyung gathered his thoughts and opened his mouth.
“If you think you want to be the president, now is the time to take action.”
“Action? What should I do?”
“I have to grab the back of the human running in front of me and make him sit down! Like a fisherman and a farm woman. “Take down Kim Cheol-soo.”
However, when Park Jun-hyung saw Hwang Dae-hoon tilting his head foolishly, he clicked his tongue.
‘What a f*cking idiot.’
Dae-Hoon Hwang swallowed his saliva as he looked at Jun-Hyung Park’s cold gaze.
“To bring down Kim Cheol-soo. “How?”
“As for the rumors. It is a means for which responsibility is unclear, and it is difficult to prove misunderstanding. It is said that Kim Cheol-soo is going on a business trip in a few days. In the meantime, if bad rumors start to spread about Kim Cheol-soo, it will be difficult to deal with it when he comes back.”
“Are you really telling me to slander Kim Cheol-soo?”
“is it so.”
“But, that’s fair…”
Hwang Dae-hoon, who saw Park Jun-hyung’s expression turn fierce at the word “fair,” quickly changed his stance.
“ah. no. However, I don’t know if there might be material that could be slandered. “I’ve started taking on more work now, so I don’t have to be lobbied by anyone.”
“Think about it carefully. It doesn’t have to be that big. A very small one. “Just one small rumor is enough to create a stir in a quiet lake.”
“…I’ll think about it.”
“We’ll see. How much can you satisfy me? Depending on the results, it will be decided whether or not to join the line of President Yoo Ji-hoon.”
“…all right. Boss.”
**
After working outside, I made a lunch appointment with Gong Jeong-hoon, assistant manager at Hanyoung Logistics, just in time for lunch.
“hello. “This is Kim Cheol-soo.”
Kim Cheol-soo took out a business card.
Assistant Manager Jeong Gong-hoon, who would be in charge of forwarding work in Africa with him, was a rugged-looking man.
A square jaw, ears turned over as if they had exercised, and a sports head.
‘People who exercise have a strong competitive spirit and a tendency to work honestly and publicly. There must be a reason why Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak has been working with this person for so long.’
“yes. hello. “This is Assistant Manager Jeong Gong-hoon.”
He also took out a business card and exchanged it with Kim Cheol-soo.
“I’ve only talked on the phone so far, so I wanted to see your face at least once.”
“I was talking to this grumpy assistant manager on the phone and we got along well with him, so I wondered what kind of person he was.”
After ordering king ribs, Kim Cheol-soo had a brief conversation with him.
“Are you by any chance an experienced person in this field?”
Jeong Gong-hoon asked, and Kim Cheol-soo shook his head.
“no. However, I received hard training from Assistant Manager Lee.”
“To this assistant manager? ha ha ha. “It must have been a bit difficult.”
As we continued the conversation, I found that Kim Cheol-soo was a surprisingly down-to-earth person, so I liked him.
“You said you will be observing the shipping process from Kenya this time. Have you found a local guide?”
Jeong Gong-hoon asked, and Kim Cheol-soo shook his head.
“Anyway, I asked Assistant Manager Lee and he said that this contract was made under the arrangement of Assistant Manager Gong. I would like to get some help.”
Jeong Gong-Hoon nodded and answered.
“okay. I have some local friends that I knew from my previous NGO volunteer work in Kenya. She says her name is kennedy and she has a friend who speaks English very well. “It may take a little extra money, but having that friend with you will be helpful when checking shipments.”
“thank you. Assistant Manager Gong.”
“What. “Now we have to work together.”
“i look forward to. “I will buy you lunch today as a thank you.”
“Corporate cards are good, right?”
“ha ha ha.”
When Kim Cheol-soo laughed, Jeong Gong-hoon also laughed along.
Hanyoung Logistics is a subsidiary of Hanyoung General Trading.
Since the company focuses only on forwarding work and its main customer is Hanyoung General Trading Company, there was subtle abuse and disregard from the parent company’s employees.
Fortunately, although Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak was difficult to handle and had many orders, he never made unreasonable demands, so our relationship was maintained for a long time.
Jeong Gong-Hoon spoke carefully.
“If we don’t do things like abuse of power and handle things with common sense, we will be able to get there quite easily.”
It was just one thing he wanted.
Doing things with common sense.
Kim Cheol-soo smiled and nodded his head loudly.
“yes.”
After shaking hands with Jeong Gong-hoon after finishing his meal, Kim Cheol-soo stopped by a nearby high-end chocolate shop and bought a box of chocolates as a gift.
Today was Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak’s wife’s birthday.
When I returned to the office, the team leader and Manager Pyo were not there, and Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak was sitting in his seat and working hard on documents. Kim Cheol-soo secretly pushed the chocolate he had bought next to Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak’s desk.
“What? this? “Did I do something wrong?”
Lee Jun-hak opened his eyes and glared at Kim Cheol-soo.
He probably saw it as a gift to make up for something he had done wrong.
“no. “Isn’t it your birthday today?”
At Kim Cheol-soo’s words, Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak’s ax eyes slowly opened and returned to their original form.
“If Manager Pyo sees it, he will steal it, so put it away quickly.”
Lee Jun-hak checked the chocolate brand and put it in the desk drawer.
“How did you know I liked this?”
“They said we’re not talking about trade secrets.”
“This guy?”
Lee Jun-hak raised the corners of his mouth as if he was in a good mood.
“Know this well. “If you only take care of it once, it will have the opposite effect.”
“Of course I will. “Isn’t it the deputy commander’s duty to take care of the heavenly commander?”
Lee Jun-hak chuckled at those words.
“Assistant manager Gong Jeong-hoon.”
“huh.”
“I met him for lunch today, and he seems fine.”
“He’s a good person. I will be in charge of Africa for the next few years and we will become close friends. “He has been active in an NGO for quite a long time, so he is well-connected in that field.”
“All right.”
“You’re leaving on Sunday, right?”
“yes. “Mr. Lee.”
“What about vaccinations?”
“I went today and finished it all.”
“good. If you go, don’t go out at night just because you’re lonely. “It’s a neighborhood with bad security.”
“yes. “Mr. Assistant Manager.”
“If you get AIDS, you have dengue.”
“yes!”
“thanks. gift. “I’ll tell this to Hyeyoung.”
Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak immediately turned his gaze to the monitor, and Kim Cheol-soo sat down in his seat and began to check the incoming email.
How much time has passed?
“Mr. Cheolsu Kim.”
Kim Cheol-soo was working as if he was being sucked into the monitor, but he raised his head when he heard a woman calling him.
It was Jang Yu-mi.
“yes?”
“Can you help me for a moment?”
“A copier?”
“no. “There’s something I don’t know, but my superiors are all away.”
At those words, Kim Cheol-soo looked around.
Assistant Manager Lee was also not present.
“What is it?”
She spread the printed material she brought in front of Kim Cheol-soo.
“I think there was an accident.”
Jang Yu-mi was in tears, and Kim Cheol-soo looked at the printout she had unfolded.
“Please explain in detail.”
“So…”
A general trading company plays the role of concluding a contract by coordinating the requirements of suppliers and consumers discovered by overseas branches.
Overseas branches do not have the authority to make decisions on their own, so business executives like Kim Cheol-soo are in charge of contract-related matters.
This contract is established through an offer and acceptance by the parties, and an offer is an expression of intention to buy or sell. Usually, the willingness to sell on the supply side is called an offer, and the willingness to buy on the demand side is called a bid.
Therefore, we always ask the supply branch to receive an offer from the supplier, and the demand branch to receive a bid from the demander, and this offer or bid contains key details related to the contract.
These key matters include price, quantity, delivery date, quality, payment terms, and subscription validity period.
When the exchange rate fluctuated significantly and the price of raw materials fluctuated significantly, there were cases where suppliers or demanders played around with the due date or price among those conditions to make up for losses.
Especially if the other person is a beginner, they may do this on purpose.
“So, the customer said that they could receive it from July, but the supplier said that shipment would be possible from June, and they responded with Nice. If this is the case, the subscription has been made, but the nickel ore to be shipped in June is up in the air. Right?”
Yumi Jang nodded her head loudly at my words.
It was a basic mistake made by new employees who do not have an accurate concept of contracts.
“Can’t I persuade you?”
“It doesn’t even work. “What should I do?”
If this is handled inflexibly, this contract will be lost and the 2nd sales team will be in a position where they will have to pay huge damages.
Of course, there was a way to solve this situation, but it wasn’t the way he or Jang Yu-mi should have done.
The power of trust and reputation built up by traders over a long period of time was needed.
“Listen carefully. “Mr. Yumi.”
“yes.”
“Go straight to the team and contact the team leader. And I tell the situation as it is. No one can solve this except the sales team leader 2. “Even if you curse a little, you will be able to prevent accidents.”
Jang Yu-mi became sullen when she heard that she was being criticized, but she nodded at Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
“After all, it’s inevitable to get criticized, right?”
‘If you knew what to do, why did you ask me?’
When Kim Cheol-soo made eye contact with Jang Yu-mi with a suspicious look in his eyes, she blushed slightly.
“yes.”
“thank you. “Do you have some time today?”
“Time?”
“It’s Tuesday. Motivational meeting. “Everyone said they wanted to see Cheolsu.”
“If I don’t have work to do, I’ll attend.”
“all right.”
At that moment, assistant manager Lee Jun-hak came into the office, and Jang Yu-mi was surprised and organized the materials that had been spread out on Kim Cheol-soo’s desk.
“What are you doing?”
“Yumi said she wanted to ask me something.”
“okay?”
Jang Yu-mi bowed her head while looking at Lee Jun-hak.
“Then let’s go. Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak.”
Lee Jun-hak, who was watching Jang Yu-mi leave as if embarrassed, looked at Kim Cheol-soo, who turned his gaze back to the monitor, and then chuckled.
‘It’s a good time.’
One loud-mouthed motivation is enough.
Close to work time.
Bae Ki-seong, the team leader of Sales Team 2, who was in a precarious situation, eventually exploded.
“Why on earth did you make this confirmation? Holy shit! Assistant Manager Park, come on! What did I say? “I told you to follow up properly!!!”
Sales Team 2 ended up shouting, and even the already nasty Assistant Manager Park Dong-jin was yelling at the team leader, shaking the office with all kinds of swear words.
Everyone was busy standing up and watching the 2nd sales team.
“Why is it like that?”
Manager Pyo Il-soo asked Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak while looking towards the 2nd sales team with worried eyes.
“An accident occurred and it looks like it can’t be resolved.”
“What accident?”
“The supplier, the Philippines, pushed back the shipment date, but it seems the new person confirmed it without even checking.”
“Can’t we negotiate?”
“If it were a good neighborhood, it would be resolved quietly.”
“Oh my. How much does a presidential election cost? “It’s nickel ore, so even the slightest mismanagement can lead to big trouble.”
“At least hundreds of millions will be lost.”
“It’s just annoying.”
Manager Pyo Il-su clicked his tongue and looked at Jang Yu-mi with a pitiful look, unable to even raise her head.
Then he turned his head and spoke to Kim Cheol-soo, who was organizing the receipts.
“Cheolsu, don’t do that.”
“yes. Manager Pyo.”
“Don’t worry. Manager Pyo. “I am keeping a close watch.”
“okay. “Our Junhak.”
Kim Cheol-soo stayed behind after all of his team members left work, finished all the chores, and got up. He turned off the light and came out of the office, stopped by the copy room, and was about to go in to grab something printed when he saw Jang Yu-mi wiping away her tears in one corner.
The makeup was smudged and it looked a little bizarre, but it didn’t take away from her beauty.
When Jang Yu-mi saw Kim Cheol-soo come in, she quickly got up and turned around.
“are you okay?”
“yes.”
She turned away and answered, not wanting to show that she had been crying.
Kim Cheol-soo hinted to her as he took the printed copies.
“If you want to get some fresh air, come up to the sky garden.”
Kim Cheol-su said that and walked up the stairs to the sky garden.
After getting two sodas from the vending machine installed there, I sat down on a chair and looked up at the sky. Although you can’t see as many stars as in the countryside, the crescent moon is revealing a sophisticated body.
A few minutes later, Jang Yu-mi came up to the Sky Garden looking neat.
“cider?”
When Kim Cheol-su handed out his drink, Jang Yu-mi nodded and sat down next to him.
“thank you.”
“There is no need to be thankful. “I live because I am grateful.”
Jang Yu-mi opened her eyes and looked at Kim Cheol-soo.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was nothing that Kim Cheol-soo could be thankful for.
‘What is it? ‘What is it?’
When she met Kim Cheol-soo’s eyes with a mixture of curiosity and strange emotions, Jang Yu-mi was startled and turned her gaze to the sky.
“You kept my secret.”
Kim Cheol-soo said while looking at Jang Yu-mi, who was slightly fidgeting.
‘Why are you doing that?’
Jang Yu-mi nodded at Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
I never told anyone that Kim Cheol-soo’s Russian was very good.
Jang Yu-mi was quite a soft-spoken person because she didn’t like sharing other people’s secrets from the beginning.
“haha. What.”
Kim Cheol-soo had experienced Jang Yu-mi in the past, so he knew how heavy her mouth was.
He was a person who kept his promises, even when it meant he was in harm’s way.
Among my classmates, if I had to choose the only person I should hold hands with, it would of course be Jang Yu-mi.
The two opened the lid of their drinks and looked at the sky for a moment while looking in the same direction.
Jang Yu-mi gulped down a soda out of thirst, burped unconsciously and covered her mouth, and Kim Cheol-soo chuckled at the sound.
But once the burping started, there was no way it would stop.
“Ugh…ugh.”
As Kim Cheol-soo giggled, Jang Yu-mi hurriedly got up and went towards the fence, squeezing out all the burp she could get out.
‘kid! Really embarrassing.’
Jang Yu-mi came back with a red face, and Kim Cheol-soo crushed the drink can he had finished drinking with one hand.
“Don’t be too upset.”
Jang Yu-mi took a deep sigh, shook her head slightly, and said.
“It’s not that I’m upset, it’s that I don’t know what to do. The team leader told me to solve it. I kept calling and sending emails until he got off work. “I just made a mistake here, so even if they say they will reduce the price the next time I trade, it doesn’t make any sense.”
Jang Yu-mi said, holding her shoulder-length hair with both hands and pulling it.
“I didn’t make this mistake before coming to the company, but I can’t help but feel bad.”
She complained for a long time, and Kim Cheol-soo listened in silence.
Jang Yu-mi felt relieved as she let out all the words inside her.
“thank you.”
“What. Yumi’s heart is so sincere, do you know? Will someone in heaven hear and make it happen?”
“God, Jesus, Buddha, Allah. I hope that anyone can resolve this situation. please!”
At Kim Cheol-soo’s words, Jang Yu-mi looked up at the sky with earnest eyes and spoke as if praying.
“I’m sure it will be resolved in two days.”
Jang Yu-mi tilted her head at Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
Not tomorrow, not someday. Two days later.
“In two days? after······. I hope it can be resolved before June comes!”
“Even if you get upset and worry, it’s not going to work. I’m sure it will work out. cheer up.”
When Kim Cheol-soo got up, Jang Yu-mi felt sad.
I’d like to talk more.
“Are you going to get off work?”
“yes.”
“Aren’t you going to a class meeting?”
“Not really.”
“why?”
“What can I say?”
Kim Cheol-soo got up, leaned against the rooftop wall, and turned his gaze to the neon sign in the middle of downtown Seoul, brightly lighting up the night street.
“You came to work at the company, not for a social gathering, right?”
“and. Cheolsu is a very hard person. But isn’t motivation the best to solve what’s inside?”
“Although motivation is the best, one loud-mouthed motivation is enough.”
Jang Yu-mi felt better when she found out that one of her classmates was referring to her.
Kim Cheol-su straightened his back and turned his body.
“Okay then. Cheer up. “I guess I’ll just have to come down and see.”
“yes. Ah… let’s get off work together. “Anyway, there’s nothing to do if I stay at the office after work.”
“What about peer group meetings?”
“I don’t really feel like going today.”
“Then I’ll be waiting for you on the first floor.”
“yes.”
