‘Was it rain?’
The inside of the factory was neat and clean, and the employees were working while strictly following hygiene rules.
There wasn’t a single flaw.
“It’s perfect.”
“As the factory manager, I feel good to hear that you are receiving positive feedback.”
“Where do the jujubes supplied here come from?”
“Boeun’s specialty is jujubes. “It’s not from somewhere like China, so you don’t have to worry, haha.”
“ah! okay. All right. “Let’s go back.”
Kim Cheol-soo, who returned to the office, had a brief conversation with Ha Yong-ho, wrapped up his business trip, and walked out of the building with Park Dong-gyu.
“Then we will contact you after review. “I think it will be reviewed positively.”
“Yeah yeah. Please be sure to contact me.”
“yes. president. see you next time.”
Kim Cheol-soo and Park Dong-gyu briefly exchanged greetings with Ha Yong-ho and then returned to the company by car.
“···Sir.”
“yes? What are you worried about? “Do you have a bad complexion?”
“ah···. no.”
An annual salary of 100 million won and a factory manager, or executive, when the next factory is expanded.
Sometimes, in the dramas I watch while eating, my relatives even play executives.
Does that happen to me too?
After touring the factory, Kim Cheol-soo noticed that Park Dong-gyu’s expression was unusual.
Park Dong-gyu felt like he was going to pretend when he saw Kim Cheol-soo staring at him.
“Well, isn’t it…”
Park Dong-gyu barely opened his mouth.
“Are you satisfied with your work life?”
“In what way?”
“I heard that the salary of an assistant manager is 2.5 million won. Honestly, can you live on that?”
“ah···.”
Kim Cheol-soo smiled and shook his head.
“You can’t work like that and get paid 2.5 million won.”
“yes?”
“The sales department does not work for a salary, but for incentives.”
“So you get a lot more?”
“It varies greatly from person to person, but there are probably salespeople who make hundreds of millions of dollars a year.”
“that is···. “Can I do that too?”
“The results cannot exceed the goals.”
“···.”
With Kim Cheol-soo next to him, Park Dong-gyu couldn’t control his heart pounding.
I hadn’t done anything yet, but the sticky feeling of being a really bad guy was driving me crazy.
“Sir.”
“yes.”
“Is it really stupid to live honestly?”
Kim Cheol-soo glanced at Park Dong-gyu.
Park Dong-gyu, in his current situation, is in a situation where he has to ask numerous questions related to work.
But he kept asking strange questions.
Something had completely messed with Park Dong-gyu’s mind.
‘It looks like something happened with President Ha Yong-ho.’
Although it was not clearly defined, the keywords salary and honesty remained strongly in Kim Cheol-soo’s mind.
“why? “Did Boss Ha say that people who live honestly are idiots?”
Kim Cheol-soo’s question instantly turned white in Park Dong-gyu’s mind.
“Dong-gyu. The car in front!”
“ah! yes!”
Park Dong-gyu, who was out of his mind, suddenly stepped on the brakes when Kim Cheol-soo shouted.
As we neared Seoul, the car started to move further and further behind.
As cool air blew from the air conditioner, sweat beaded on Park Dong-gyu’s forehead, and Kim Cheol-soo’s eyes sharpened when he saw it.
But his expression was the same as usual, as if it had never been that way.
“Why are you so nervous?”
“ah···. no. “I’m a little nervous because I almost got into an accident if I made a mistake earlier.”
Park Dong-gyu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
“You have to pay attention to the future.”
“yes. “Mr. Assistant Manager.”
“Donggyu, do you also think that people who live honestly are idiots?”
“···Looking at the way the world is going, I think that’s the right answer.”
“So Dong-gyu, are you going to cheat on others, cheat, and live by lying?”
“That’s not it.”
“Then why are you worrying about such things?”
“···Yes.”
Kim Cheol-soo turned his head and looked out the passenger window.
“You can escape a moment by lying, but you cannot escape life. There is no greater lawyer than honesty when faced with a crisis. “The ending of dishonest people never ends well.”

It was a cold but firm tone, and Park Dong-gyu unconsciously turned his head to look at Kim Cheol-soo.
I felt as if I had heard all the secret conversations between Ha Yong-ho and himself.
‘no way···.’
**
“Why are you looking like that?”
Jinsook Yoon asked while holding the briefcase for Cheolsoo Kim, who had left work after 11 p.m.
“Uh, no. “I just have something to think about.”
“You said you don’t bring work home?”
“It’s not work. “It’s about people.”
“Hi. “Is it because you have a second-in-command?”
Kim Cheol-soo smiled faintly instead of answering.
“Anyway, my mom is quick-witted. “Do you think I have the same sense of humor as my mother?”
“That’s bullshit. Wash it quickly. “I’m going to bring you watermelon, so don’t brush your teeth.”
“okay.”
After washing up, Kim Cheol-su stroked the head of Yeong-su, who was studying with a tissue stuffed up his nose while preparing for the final exam.
Then, I stood in front of the orchid, which had bloomed white flower buds, touched the leaves, and fell into trouble.
Deputy Director Lee Jeong-hoon.
Intern Park Dong-gyu.
President Ha Yong-ho.
And the unidentified Managing Director Choo.
President Ha Yong-ho was taken aback by the simple feedback asking if he would be able to secure export volumes.
Park Dong-gyu’s condition became strange after the factory tour.
Moreover, the two were relatives.
A conversation about salary and honesty in the car.
‘There’s definitely something there.’
Kim Cheol-soo suddenly remembered what Lee Jun-hak said in Sky Garden.
– be careful. There are people who get jealous when you do well.
‘If someone tries to hit me, what method will I use?’
**
After Kim Cheol-soo leaves work, Park Dong-gyu is left alone in the office.
I sat blankly at my desk and thought about something for a while, and then an hour passed, and then another two hours.
Until yesterday, the knowledge about work that was clear to my eyes and mind did not come into my mind at all.
No matter what I read, it disappeared from my mind like snow on a tropical night.
You can get an annual salary of 100 million won without having to work hard like this.
Ha Yong-ho’s proposal was so fascinating.
The idea was to design it as if Kim Cheol-soo had been asked to receive 5 million won.
All Park Dong-gyu had to do was to put 5 million won in Kim Cheol-soo’s desk on the day the department passed the jujube export case and contact his uncle.
I don’t know anything else, but the temptation of an annual salary of 100 million was really hard to resist.
The remaining people also left work, and Park Dong-gyu was alone in the sales office.
He placed the bag on the desk, felt his heart pounding, and reached in to grab the white envelope.
‘ah···. What do we do.’
Kim Cheol-soo, who stayed up all night doing his homework at work, took care of him every morning until the morning.
It didn’t seem right to destroy him with my own hands.
– After experiencing the world, living honestly is the most stupid thing in the world.
‘What does Assistant Manager Kim have to do with me? ‘After all, we’re strangers, right?’
A dark feeling crept into my heart.
– The ending of dishonest people never ends well.
Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo’s cool voice seemed to have noticed something.
‘Couldn’t I have been caught? Then I’m the only one who becomes an asshole?’
I was afraid.
– You need to earn around 700 per month to buy a house, a car, fall in love, get married, have children, and live a happy life. is not it?
7 million won per month.
I think I would sell my soul if I could get that kind of money from a stable job.
– That’s what politics is. Finding and doing what is most beneficial to me.
‘The act that is most beneficial to me…’
**
Ha Yong-ho poured expensive, high-quality whiskey into a glass with a wry smile.
His idea that the temptation of an annual salary of 100 million won would be difficult to resist for a guy who was struggling at a goshiwon, delayed graduating from college, and couldn’t find a job was correct.
When Park Dong-gyu, who had no idea about the world, put a white envelope in his bag, he was confident that this plan would be 100% successful.
“Hehehe. A father and his son are the same. She’s such an asshole that I get deceived all the time. It’s cheap even if it hurts. “You idiots.”
“brother! “Are you saying that to me?”
Ha Yong-ho, who was drinking at a high-end bar, pushed the woman who was standing next to him and stood up.
“I’m going to drain the water.”
And as soon as I got out, I contacted Seongtae Choo.
-What are you doing late at night?
– It’s going according to plan.
– Is that so?
– sure. So can we go ahead with the plan?
– Please wait a moment.
– hmm. Then why are you contacting me?
– How are things going with opening a store in a city or city department store this October?
– That’s what will happen if we succeed in this case, so please don’t contact me anymore for that reason. Then I’ll hang up.
– Tududu.
Ha Yong-ho muttered with a shit-chewing face.
‘하, 개새끼! It’s hard to look like an executive at a large company. Just try opening a store in a department store.’
Can we talk for a moment?
Park Dong-gyu is still sleeping on his desk, drooling.
Kim Cheol-soo put down his briefcase and quietly looked at Park Dong-gyu.
Then, he silently opened each of his desk drawers.
During my 18 years of corporate life, I got to indirectly experience all kinds of things that people do, and one of the things I often heard about was accusing someone.
Previously, I was called to the audit office because of an unexpected rumor and met Chairman Kyung-Hoon Choi.
Even after that, I had the experience of getting into trouble for no reason because rumors spread about scouting.
I looked deep into the drawers, but didn’t see anything unusual.
‘Was I being too sensitive?’
I looked around my surroundings more carefully, but there was definitely nothing.
Kim Cheol-soo took a deep breath and immediately went out to exercise.
After finishing my workout, I got into the elevator and saw a familiar face.
It was Jang Yu-mi.
“Uh, sir. Good morning.”
“Yumi came to work early too.”
“yes. By the way, did you take a shower?”
Jang Yu-mi’s slightly damp hair and the strong smell of shampoo.
“Oh, I took a shower after working out downstairs.”
“Are you coming out early and working out?”
“I work hard only when I have physical strength.”
“ah···.”
Jang Yu-mi nodded and suddenly asked.
“I have a question.”
“yes.”
“This time, we are planning to sign a deal with a new Chinese steel company, and what they have prepared is so perfect.”
“okay.”
Kim Cheol-soo looked at Jang Yu-mi with an uneasy expression and tilted his head.
“Then isn’t that a good thing?”
“···Yes? “I’m just a little worried.”
“Which one?”
“It’s a new company, but everything has been prepared so perfectly… what can I say? It’s a bit unrealistic, isn’t it? “I thought I might have missed something, so I came out early in the morning and tried to check it one more time.”
Cheolsu Kim nodded and said.
“Yes. “I really need to check it out.”
“I guess so, right? “I need to check it carefully again.”
“I think that would be good.”
“Oh, by the way! Did you hear that rumor?”
“What rumor?”
“There are rumors that the steel team and sales department 3 are merging.”
“Ah yes. Well, you’ll find out when you go there.”
“I hope we get it together quickly. “Because I can ask the assistant manager various things without worrying about what others think.”
Kim Cheol-soo was smiling at Jang Yu-mi, who was smiling, but he was thinking of something else in his mind.
‘It’s a new company…’
