“···Oh my, Managing Director! This is Lee Jeong-hoon. ha ha ha. sure! The work you asked is going well, so there will be good news soon. ha ha ha. Dinner? Of course it’s an auto call! “I am truly honored!”
Lee Jeong-hoon turns his chair around and looks out the window, excitedly talking on the phone with someone.
The place where Kim Cheol-soo came was right in front of Deputy Director Jeong-hoon Lee of the Management Support Team.
Park Dong-gyu was literally in a tense state with a frozen face.
‘Is this what you meant when you said it couldn’t be reversed?’
Park Dong-gyu glanced at Kim Cheol-soo next to him.
Kim Cheol-soo, looking at Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon, was secretly smiling as he wondered what he was thinking.
If it were me, I would have gritted my teeth and stared at him in anger, but I had no idea what Kim Cheol-soo was thinking.
But what was clear was that what would happen in the future would forever draw a line between him and Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon.
“···Okay, then I’ll see you at the agreed upon time. Please go in. Managing Director.”
Lee Jeong-hoon happily hung up the phone and turned around to face Kim Cheol-soo, who was smiling strangely.
Next to him was Park Dong-gyu with a stern expression.
Lee Jeong-hoon looked puzzled, wondering what was going on.
“hello? “Conductor!”
When Kim Cheol-soo quickly bowed his head and said hello, Lee Jeong-hoon also reflexively responded.
“Uh, Assistant Manager Kim. “What’s going on?”
“Thanks to the Deputy Director, a good intern came to our department and I came to say thank you.”
“What does that mean?”
“Our intern Park Dong-gyu talked a lot about the deputy chief.”
“…….”
Only then did Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon figure out how things were going and looked at Kim Cheol-soo and Park Dong-gyu alternately with a chewed-up face.
Kim Cheol-soo spoke to Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon while still smiling.
“If you have any questions about me, please ask anytime. “If you buy me a drink, I can tell you all about my past.”
‘You damn bastard. I didn’t know you were such a cheap-mouthed guy. ‘You idiot, local college bastard who can’t even do simple things properly.’
Lee Jeong-hoon, who gathered his thoughts in that short period of time, chuckled.
“Hey man, I don’t know what you’re talking about. If you want to drink, contact me anytime. Is there anything I can’t buy for our company Ace if he wants it? Oh, this guy’s name was Park Dong-gyu. Is this my first time seeing you? ha ha ha.”
Lee Jeong-hoon stood up and tapped Park Dong-gyu on the shoulder.
“I learned hard from Assistant Manager Kim. “In terms of performance, he is always one of the top three in our company.”
“··· yes.”
Park Dong-gyu answered in a tired voice as he saw Lee Jeong-hoon withdrawing his steps in a completely different manner from what he had said in the morning.
“I have a meeting soon. Assistant Manager Kim, contact me later. “Let’s have a drink.”
“yes! Conductor! Then, I will contact you later when I have time.”
“Yes, yes.”
As Lee Jeong-hoon stood up from his seat holding his notebook, Kim Cheol-soo bowed straight.
“You are such a kind and friendly friend. Assistant Manager Kim. haha.”
When he disappeared from sight, Kim Cheol-soo spoke.
“Let’s go now.”
As we went out into the empty hallway, Park Dong-gyu spoke in an urgent tone.
“Sir.”
“yes?”
“What happens to me now?”
Kim Cheol-soo tilted his head as he looked at Park Dong-gyu, who was in tears.
“What?”
“I was completely caught by Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon, what should I do now?”
Kim Cheol-soo burst into laughter briefly.
“What should I do? Now, I am the only one left to Dong-gyu. You heard it earlier, right? What did Deputy Director Lee say?”
“which?”
“He’s the ace of this company.”
“ah···.”
“I don’t know about other teams, but my voice in the sales department 3 is quite strong. If Dong-gyu has the capabilities to work in Sales Department 3, he will strongly recommend converting to a full-time position. If he does not have the capabilities, he will say so again. Our manager doesn’t like it when incompetent employees forget their salaries. “If something bad comes out of my mouth, it will probably be very difficult.”
“ah···.”
Kim Cheol-soo walked past Dong-gyu Park, who was sighing.
“You wasted a lot of time. “Let’s go to the office.”
**
“Do you want me to memorize all of this by tomorrow?”
Park Dong-gyu looked at his watch without realizing it.
It was a little after 8:30 in the evening.
Everyone else has left work, and only he and Kim Cheol-soo remain.
“why? no, I do not want?”
“ah···. no. “A group meeting.”
Kim Cheol-soo chuckled.
“It’s good to have a group meeting. Bye.”
It was now up to Kim Cheol-soo, the gunner, to intern here and get a job.
Park Dong-gyu was not a completely clueless person, so he knew that going to a class meeting under these circumstances was a foolish thing to do.
“no. “I will memorize it.”
“I do what I want to do.”
“no. “Mr. Assistant Manager.”
Park Dong-gyu erased the class meeting time from his mind and placed the stack of documents that Kim Cheol-soo handed him on the desk.

‘He’s not very stubborn, and knows how to make choices that are advantageous to him. This is okay.’
An hour later, Kim Cheol-soo tapped Park Dong-gyu on the shoulder.
“yes. “Sir!”
“Would you like some coffee?”
“Ah yes.”
Kim Cheol-soo drew coffee from the coffee vending machine in Sky Garden and handed it to Park Dong-gyu.
“Dong-gyu, do you like politics?”
“no. “I hate it.”
“Why do you hate it?”
“I get sick of just looking at politicians.”
“okay.”
Kim Cheol-soo nodded with an expression of complete understanding.
Then he took a sip of coffee and continued speaking.
“Let me ask you a question. “Which one did Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon have hostile feelings towards, me or Dong-gyu?”
“…Probably me. “Assistant Manager Kim never once lost his smile when talking to Deputy Manager Lee, but he broke an important promise.”
Cheolsu Kim nodded and asked the next question.
“In whose hands do you think Dong-gyu’s fate is now?”
“Assistant Manager Kim.”
“Do you think it happened by itself?”
Park Dong-gyu sighed briefly and shook his head.
“no.”
“Why did I do this?”
No matter how much Park Dong-gyu thought about it, he couldn’t think of the right words.
“that is···. I do not know.”
Kim Cheol-soo looked up at the sky for a moment.
“Because this is the action that benefits me the most. That’s what politics is. Finding and doing what is most beneficial to me. Telling old jokes that don’t work and applauding. Even if you want to lie down in bed at home right now, you take the lead at a company dinner and shout out the second and third rounds. “It’s all politics for me.”
Although he understood everything, Park Dong-gyu just blinked, not knowing why Kim Cheol-soo was saying this.
“I hope my second-in-command has a lot of insight, is good at work, and is also good at politics.”
“ah···. I’ll try my best.”
“If you don’t have the desire to succeed at a company, you will just hate company politics. On the other hand, people who are active in company politics have a strong desire to succeed at the company. And people with such strong desires tend to work better. “Sales Department 3 wants people like that.”
It was a kind of guideline.
Park Dong-gyu thought back to what Kim Cheol-soo said several times.
“You’re telling me to get involved in company politics.”
“yes.”
“But I don’t know what kind of office politics an intern is supposed to engage in.”
“Dong-gyu has already unintentionally gotten involved in the company’s politics. “Do you want to stay like this, being watched by Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon?”
“no.”
Park Dong-gyu shook his head with a despondent expression.
“Then shouldn’t we do something?”
Park Dong-gyu had no idea what Kim Cheol-soo wanted to talk about.
“what···. how···.”
“Have you ever heard of double agents?”
“yes?”
“When you go to work tomorrow, go see Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon and say this. In order to deceive Assistant Manager Kim, I had no choice but to tell the truth. “Now that I have gained Deputy Kim’s trust, I will report it as I said.”
Park Dong-gyu opened his eyes wide.
“that···.”
“I will tell you the appropriate information, so go and report it. instead!”
Park Dong-gyu automatically swallowed his saliva as his eyes looked sharp, as if he would cut somewhere when he met him.
“Donggyu needs to find out who wants my information. If I relay what I said to Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon and let Dong-gyu know what I want, there is no need to become enemies with either side. “That is the basics of office politics.”
Now Park Dong-gyu fully understands why Kim Cheol-soo brought up the topic of office politics.
‘It’s crazy. this person.’
Kim Cheol-soo looked at Park Dong-gyu, who had a surprised expression, and continued speaking.
“If you do that, I will give you quite a bit more points in your intern evaluation. But basically, you have to do everything I ask you to do. So don’t expect to sleep comfortably for two months. “It will be very harsh, so you will have to brace yourself.”
Park Dong-gyu nodded his head loudly as if he understood.
Kim Cheol-soo glanced at his wristwatch.
It was almost time to meet Hye-na.
“ruler! I’ll get off work first. “The homework assigned today must be completed by tomorrow.”
The next dinner party is Korean beef sirloin.
A dinner party for the planning team.
“What are you worried about?”
Kim Seong-ho poured alcohol into the empty glass of Park Jun-hyung, who was staggering around drunk.
Today, it was Park Junhyung who was drinking like crazy for some reason.
Kim Seong-ho, who was pouring drinks next to me, counted how many drinks he was drinking, and his rough estimate was 4 bottles of soju and 2 bottles of beer.
Kim Seong-ho, who gets drunk even if he drinks a little and has bad habits when drunk, did not drink out of the team’s consideration, but was very eager to entertain Park Jun-hyung.
“Do you know why executives are executives?”
As Park Jun-hyung leaned against the wall and spoke softly, Kim Seong-ho nodded and said.
“Aren’t executives the flowers of employees?”
“Everyone works so hard at the company to become an executive. But hey, executives are literally temporary employees. It’s a one-year contract job. “It’s a place where you have to take off your clothes and leave if the company doesn’t give you a contract.”
“Can something like that happen to someone like you?”
Park Jun-hyung shook his head and sighed deeply, and Kim Seong-ho tilted his head and looked at Park Jun-hyung.
There were only him and Park Seong-ho at this table, and seeing everyone laughing and talking at the other tables, Park Jun-hyung spoke quietly.
“It seems like it was taken by the boss.”
“yes?”
“no. That’s right. “I may have to take my clothes off at the end of this year because I’ve been stamped by the personnel authority.”
He didn’t know why Park Jun-hyung, who usually had an iron defense shield, was talking to him like this.
‘You must be really drunk. I sometimes make mistakes.’
“How about we talk about it in person?”
“I won’t meet you. It’s funny that I even tell you this. I thought I could help my boss by finding useful information, but what does it all mean?”
‘A useful clue?’
Kim Seong-ho wondered what it was, but Park Jun-hyung took out the corporate card from his wallet, placed it on the table, and stood up unsteadily.
“Give it to Manager Choi to pay. I have to leave first. “The team leader needs to get out at this point.”
“Well, at least a designated driver.”
“are you okay. “I’m going to take a taxi.”
Park Jun-hyung, who got into a taxi after being seen off by his teammates, stumbled because he was drunk, but smiled coldly without knowing what he meant.
‘Now, how will the traitor get out now?’
He is the culprit who cheated on Yoo Ji-hoon over the Volkswagen incident and now they don’t even see each other.
I quickly figured out that the traitor was Kim Seong-ho.
Because there were only a few people who knew about the Volkswagen gun.
‘I thought it was my line, but it was the line directly under President Yoo. There’s no way the traitor was just that bastard, Kim Seong-ho. Most of the time it wasn’t my line, but President Yu’s line.’
Park Jun-hyung laughed heartily, as if mocking himself.
I received the trust of President Yoo Ji-hoon and acted like a second-in-command, but it was quite a long time ago that I realized that it was all a mirage.
It was a defeat that came from the conceit that no one in the company was as good at internal politics as he was.
Yoo Ji-hoon didn’t make much movement and only asked for favors from people who served as his hands and feet, so when I saw him with water, he was like a very spicy Cheongyang pepper.
Park Jun-hyung’s expression, which usually always had a smiling expression, changed to the point where it could be said to be ever-changing.
After some time, I picked up my cell phone and contacted Executive Director Jang Deok-hwan, looking as if I had decided on something.
– Oh, how have you been? Director Jang!
