Rookie Employee Kim Cheolsu Chapter 231

Jordan Ive opened his mouth and yawned with a bored expression.

I stayed at the company late and was looking at the portfolios of designers who applied.

‘There’s nothing flashing. It’s just something I learned correctly in school. All I can do is sigh.’

However, his boss loses his temper when he doesn’t get results.

Jordan, remembering Jobs’ nervous voice, shook his head slightly.

Then he got the coffee, looked at the portfolio documents one by one, and continued to toss them into the corner.

The sun completely set, and the moon rose in the sky.

There were no documents left on Jordan’s desk.

“shit. “It was a waste of time.”

There was no income.

Jordan sighed lightly and got ready to leave work.

As I was about to open the door and leave the office, I collided head-on with the janitor who came to take out the trash can.

“What!”

The garbage in the janitor’s hands was scattered all over the hallway, and Jordan stood up and grabbed the hand of the fallen old man.

“Be careful, right?”

“sorry. “I didn’t know there were people there yet.”

Jordan, who was unintentionally irritated, walked a few steps and then turned around again.

It was both of their fault that they collided.

I wasn’t careful either, because it wasn’t right to just go on like this.

‘shit! Am I taking after that guy Jobs?’

Jordan turned around and picked up the trash lying everywhere.

“are you okay.”

“no. “I should help too.”

“··· thank you.”

While Jordan was mindlessly taking out the trash, a crumpled piece of paper caught his eye.

It seemed like there was a picture drawn on the crumpled inside.

Jordan straightened his back, holding the paper.

Jordan, who opened it, stood still for a while.

It was simple, sophisticated and beautiful.

It was a design that really suited Apple’s philosophy.

It was exactly the design he had been desperately looking for just a moment ago.

‘Why is this…?’

When I asked the cleaner, it seemed like it was trash brought in by the HR department.

It seemed like it had been filtered out by the human resources team.

There may be various reasons.

They are illegal immigrants, criminals, or people who do not fit Apple’s vision of talent.

Jordan Ive turned around and headed to the human resources department, where the lights were still on.

‘This is why I said that the system needs to be changed!’

**

The end of August is when the heat reaches its peak.

The dreamy party in America was already two months ago.

“Are you really not going out?”

Hye-na smiled mischievously.

The fact that her husband, Kim Cheol-soo, enthused the American upper class was reported in an article.

This gossip, which started in the United States, eventually reached Korea.

The Korean media was in an uproar.

Starting off as an ordinary office worker, he marries the daughter of a chaebol family.

A singing talent that made everyone dance at a charity party for the American upper class.

Not only the media, but also the entertainment and broadcasting industries were busy.

He was a person with great star potential, but we couldn’t recruit him at all.

“huh. There isn’t enough time to spend with you and our Superman. “There is no reason to go out to a place like that and worry about it.”

Kim Cheol-soo said as he carefully placed his ear on Hye-na’s stomach, which was now quite swollen.

Hye-na thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go out to a place like that for fun.

However, I was rather impressed by Kim Cheol-soo’s attitude of always thinking of his family first.

Hye-na Choi stroked the head of Cheol-soo Kim, who was leaning on her stomach, and then slightly pushed him away.

“Would you like me to cut some fruit for you?”

Then, Kim Cheol-soo got up first and made Choi Hye-na, who was trying to get up, sit down again.

“What do you want to eat?”

“I worked late, wasn’t it hard? “I will do it.”

“are you okay. “There’s not much to do these days.”

“Are you just making fun of a talented person like Cheolsu?”

Kim Cheol-su grinned at Hye-na’s words.

“Then should I go to work and work more?”

“Are you kidding? no! “I want to eat watermelon.”

Kim Cheol-soo nodded and headed to the kitchen.

A month ago.

He returned to Hanyoung General Trading with Park Dong-gyu.

In recognition of her contribution to this project, Jo Yoon-jeong was officially appointed as the head of the SKY Teletech Planning Team.

Lee Jun-hak was immediately promoted to manager and went into the planning department with Jo Yoon-jeong.

Hae-seong Park was also promoted to manager, and was filling the vacancy left by Joon-hyeong Park by serving as the temporary head of the planning team.

Kim Cheol-soo was also promoted to deputy manager a week ago.

At the same time, he became the head of the corporate operations team, filling Lee Jun-hak’s vacancy.

Kim Cheol-soo’s job was to help with the SKY Teletech project, find good companies and acquire shares.

The idea is to normalize management, transform it into a highly profitable company, and then sell or operate it.

However, there was only one family member, Park Dong-gyu, and after this weekend, we had to select useful people.

First of all, I had told the HR team that I would go in with them during the interview.

Since Hye-na was much hotter than expected, Kim Cheol-soo cut the watermelon into squares and added ice to make a cold snack.

When a full plate was brought, Hye-na seemed excited and said, “Oh!” she said and she grinned.

“As expected, there is only Cheolsu.”

“Would you like to eat this and take a walk along the Han River for a while?”

“why? “Are you afraid I’ll gain weight?”

“My arms and legs are still this thin, why? You have to digest it. “I eat it at night.”

“…Watermelon is all water?”

Kim Cheol-soo shook his head.

As her body became heavier, Hye-na’s activity level also decreased.

I was planning to exercise together little by little from now on.

“··· It’s hot outside.”

“It will be quite windy and cloudy today, so it will be cool. But if it’s hot, I’ll fan you a fan next to you.”

Choi Hye-na pursed her lips, but quickly nodded because she felt his sincerity.

“all right. “I’m only going to eat a little bit, so let’s walk a little bit.”

**

“The river breeze is really cool.”

Hye-na walked slowly, with her arms crossed around Cheol-su.

It felt quite nice with the gentle river breeze blowing.

Even though it was late in the evening, many people were out at the park.

While they were sitting on a bench under the Han River bridge and talking about various things, a paper airplane flew out of nowhere and landed at their feet.

Kim Cheol-soo picked up the paper airplane and looked around.

I thought kids would come looking for it, but no matter how I looked, there were no kids looking for the paper airplane.

I waited a little longer, but no one came to look for me, and Kim Cheol-soo sat down next to Hye-na, holding a paper airplane.

“Why are you holding that?”

“Because there are no trash cans around. “Let’s keep it and throw it away, whatever.”

Choi Hye-na suddenly grabbed his collar.

“Wait. “It looks like there’s something drawn on it?”

Kim Cheol-soo casually handed over the paper airplane to her.

Then, as I turned my gaze towards the river, I saw a white airplane flying in a parabola again.

Kim Cheol-soo turned his gaze further upward, and only then did he notice that someone was flying a paper airplane halfway up the Han River bridge.

“and···!”

An exclamation came out of Choi Hye-na’s mouth as she unfolded the paper airplane.

Kim Cheol-soo, who had been tilting his head, turned his head back toward Choi Hye-na.

“What’s wrong?”

Hye-na Choi, who majored in design, was able to recognize the value of pictures drawn on drawing paper.

“It was drawn very well. It looks like some kind of design. I think I saw something similar in a movie. “Cheolsu, please take a look too.”

Kim Cheol-soo looked at the paper Hye-na handed him.

It was a design that was sketched and painted by hand.

‘hmm?’

It looked so familiar.

It had a design almost similar to the iPad seen from the future.

“Why are we folding something like this into a paper airplane and flying it? “I feel like it’s a waste.”

Choi Hye-na tilted her head and asked, and Kim Cheol-soo turned his gaze back to the bridge.

A person was seen sitting on the railing.

‘no way?’

Kim Cheol-soo reflexively stood up, and Choi Hye-na, who had been following Cheol-su’s gaze, circled next to him and covered her mouth with her hand.

“To the police…”

– Plop!

Before he could shout anything, the person sitting on the railing fell into the Han River.

Kim Cheol-soo immediately took off his top and Choi Hye-na, who was so surprised, put her hand on her stomach and took a deep breath.

While he was calming down for a moment, Kim Cheol-soo jumped into the Han River.

“Mr. Cheolsu!”

Choi Hye-na urgently stood up and screamed.

“Mr. Cheolsu! “You can’t swim!”

All human lives are equal.

Sometimes the body takes precedence over the mind.

“Cough! Cough!”

Kim Cheol-soo spit out water from his mouth and took a breath.

Choi Hye-na took a deep breath and sat down, looking almost like she was about to cry.

On my honeymoon, I found out that Kim Cheol-soo was a beer bottle.

He taught me how to swim there.

Fortunately, the current of the Han River was not strong.

As Kim Cheol-soo was wading through the water with his poor skills, I waited with a nervous heart.

At some point, Kim Cheol-soo disappeared in the water, and Choi Hye-na jumped in too late.

“Are you crazy?”

The person who rescued Kim Cheol-soo from the Han River was none other than the person who threw himself from the bridge.

“sorry. “I had no idea it would turn out like this.”

Kang Yun-sik bowed his head to Choi Hye-na several times with an expression of shamelessness.

When I went to Africa.

I saw young children playing and diving into the sea on a cliff by the sea, and I followed along with them a few times.

It was a cliff over 30 meters high, but it did not seem that high to young Kang Yun-sik, who had a strong sense of adventure.

It was scary at first, but after trying it several times, the fear disappeared.

The weightlessness he felt as he fell thrilled his mind and body and made him realize what it felt like to be alive.

So, while traveling, I jumped off cliffs and found a reason to live.

I came back to Korea and was able to move around with peace of mind.

There were no discriminatory views.

I really liked it.

However, there were not many companies that were willing to lend a hand to me as I had no proper social experience and had been wandering abroad aimlessly.

There were many cases where I made it to the interview due to my unusual resume, but I always failed.

However, I couldn’t just focus on the design industry forever.

Because livelihood makes you give up your dreams, and vain dreams make you give up your livelihood.

So, I folded all the works I had drawn so far into paper airplanes and blew them all away.

As I was looking at the Han River, I suddenly wanted to go diving.

I had no intention of dying.

I was just trying to cool down my disturbed mind.

Kang Yun-sik dragged this person, who continued to growl and went below the surface, to the bottom of the river.

I looked at Kim Cheol-soo, who was coughing and breathing lightly, and slowly moving his body.

Where on earth does the courage to save a drowning person come from when you can’t swim?

‘It’s been a long time since I received such humane treatment.’

“after···! “I thought I was going to die.”

Kim Cheol-soo stuck his finger into his mouth and pulled out the water that was filling his stomach.

“you idiot!”

Kim Cheol-soo seemed to be thrilled by the powerful back smash that came out of nowhere.

“Why did you try to kill me and Superman? you idiot!”

All I could think about was that I had to save that person, and I thought I could do it.

Because I learned swimming from Hye-na.

When I almost reached the place where the person fell, I started getting cramps in my legs and everything went wrong.

Kim Cheol-soo said while looking at Choi Hye-na, who was drenched in water and crying.

“are you okay?”

“Are you going to be okay?”

“I was very surprised. sorry.”

“You’ll be dead when you get home.”

Kim Cheol-su scratched his wet hair that completely covered his forehead.

He got up and helped Choi Hye-na, who was sitting down, up and said.

“Why are you so wet?”

“Do you really have to say that in words?”

She was still angry, and Kim Cheol-soo said he was sorry several times.

When her anger almost subsided, Kim Cheol-soo remembered the person who had jumped earlier.

“What happened to him?”

While watching the bickering between the two young couples, Kang Yun-sik suddenly realized that Kim Cheol-soo looked very familiar.

After tilting his head for a while, he remembered the man at the banquet hall in America.

Son-in-law of the Chairman of Hanyoung Group.

A person who lacks nothing.

I couldn’t understand how a person like that would jump into the Han River to save others, not knowing if he would die.

If the person who jumped into the Han River had not been a good swimmer like him, the person in front of him could have drowned.

“That person saved you.”

“ah···!”

“It’s in the back.”

Kim Cheol-soo turned around.

Aside from myself and Hye-na, there was only one person who got wet.

It was a person with long hair tied in a ponytail with an elastic band.

The person was looking at him with a strange gaze.

“thank you.”

“no. What. “I am rather grateful.”

“It seems like a nuisance. I thought I was going to jump out of there. “It’s been on the news a lot these days.”

“I must have been misunderstood. “I am sorry.”

“no.”

Kim Cheol-soo smiled brightly, unlike someone who had just faced death.

Looking at him like that, Kang Yun-sik thought that he was indeed a person who was outside the normal category.

“Honey, are you okay?”

Hye-na also asked worriedly, but Kim Cheol-soo smiled and nodded.

Kim Cheol-soo had a lot to ask right away, but people were also gathering one by one, and more than anything, he felt like he had to go home quickly because of Hye-na.

“If you have time later, would you please visit my company?”

“yes?”

“I want to express my gratitude for saving my life, and I also have a story to share.”

Kang Yun-sik, who had no immediate plans, had no reason to refuse.

“Oh, yes. “If you invite me…”

“I don’t have a business card right now. Are you free tomorrow?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

“Then, as soon as you have time, would you like to come visit Korea-English General Trading Company tomorrow? “You can tell them that you came to see Deputy Director Kim Cheol-soo at the desk.”

“Oh, I understand.”

“I’m afraid my wife is wet and cold, so I’ll just go in first.”

Kim Cheol-soo offered a handshake, and Kang Yun-sik also unexpectedly accepted it.

“yes. “Thank you so much for your consideration today.”

“What.”

Kim Cheol-soo soon headed home with Hye-na, who was cowering, and Kang Yun-sik moved away while receiving attention from people.

Choi Hye-na said while walking briskly with Kim Cheol-soo.

“Mr. Cheolsu. “You didn’t just jump in to save someone, right?”

“…Otherwise, there is no reason to risk your life.”

“Did you see something in that person?”

Kim Cheol-soo shook his head and grinned.

“All human lives are equal.”

Hye-na Choi looked at Kim Cheol-soo and remembered Han Jeong-hwa, whom he had saved in the past.

He was basically a good person.

Who will jump in whenever someone is in danger without thinking about their own situation?

‘···Am I right?’

Whatever it was, I didn’t want him to be in danger again because of something like this.

“Starting next week, I will wake up in the morning and go swimming.”

“yes?”

“There is a swimming pool nearby called Shingu Elementary School. I’ll cut it off, so I go every morning. “I can’t compromise on this!”
