Freud said this:
The world is all about work and love, and love and work.
The year I turned 18.
I came to Korea to study, worked as an English instructor, and traveled the world with my wife, who loved to travel.
My hobby turned into work, and I opened a travel agency in the United States.
The children only received compulsory education and traveled together.
Perhaps thanks to that, the children were not afraid of going abroad and living.
Before we knew it, all the grown-up children had found their respective partners and dispersed here and there.
After retiring from being the head of a travel agency, I was traveling again with my wife.
She passed away suddenly.
Carrying her remains, Robert returned to Korea.
To a villa in Jeju Island full of memories with my wife.
While enjoying reading while watching the waves crashing against the white foam on the beach, he suddenly realized that he was feeling very lonely.
When I thought about it, I wasn’t working and love wasn’t by my side.
Both things that give humans meaning and necessity in life were missing.
‘I don’t want to travel anymore.’
Traveling with my wife was meaningful, but there was no reason to travel alone.
He spent the day looking at the photos in the album that filled one room in his villa.
Until a few years ago, it was really fun to reminisce about the past while drinking fruit prepared by my wife and wine she made herself.
But going through the album by myself was just fine.
After hearing that his eldest son had come to Korea briefly for work, Robert boarded a plane from Jeju Island to Seoul.
I had a meal with my son, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, and talked about work.
As expected, people were full of energy when working.
My son, who didn’t have much time, went straight back to the airport, and since it was a bit late, Robert stayed at a hotel in Seoul.
I was on the quiet and secluded beach of Jeju Island and looked down at the street from my hotel in Seoul.
Many young people were laughing and chatting until late at night.
My heart wanted to rub shoulders with them and laugh and talk, but the reflection in the mirror said otherwise.
Work and love, love and work.
‘The love of my life will no longer exist. Should I at least look for work?’
Robert started searching the Internet.
And then a job advertisement caught his eye.
– Hanyoung General Trading Company experienced employee recruitment notice
-Field: Corporate operation
– Age limit: None, Education limit: None.
Robert, who spoke Korean fluently and knew Korea well, understood that it was very unusual for a large company to post such a job advertisement.
Robert, who was quietly looking at the notice, soon burst into laughter.
“Can a new path open at the age of 64?”

Kyung-jeon Lee met his college classmates and drank alcohol.
“Hey, I heard you quit the company again?”
“What made you resign this time?”
“You look like you’re going to be the best, man. “Isn’t the wandering too long?”
Lee Gyeong-jeon smiled bitterly at his friends’ words and poured down soju one after another.
“This is already your fourth time. “No matter how talented you are, if you do that, it will be really difficult to get a job in the future.”
Hearing his friend’s words, Lee Gyeong-jeon shook his head and sighed.
“I couldn’t stand it.”
“Are you grabbing your boss by the collar again?”
Lee Gyeong-jeon nodded.
“I was sent to the hospital and notified of my dismissal.”
“You idiot. Hey, you are 33 years old this year. Wake. And then life goes downhill.”
He entered the business department of a famous private university on a full scholarship.
Until I graduated, I never missed out on a scholarship or a full scholarship.
I got a perfect score of 990 on TOEIC. The TOEFL score was also close to perfect.
I learned Japanese as a second language in high school, and because I never missed studying, I also spoke Japanese fluently.
I studied Chinese in college and stayed in China as an exchange student for a year.
I had a certified public accountant certification and a trade certification.
His parents were doctors and oriental medicine doctors, and they lacked nothing.
My first job was at Yuhan Corporation.
At that time, the starting salary was 50 million won.
It was an iron rice bowl company that was difficult to get into but also difficult to get out of.
And after only 10 months, Kyung-Jeon Lee assaulted his boss while drinking and resigned.
The second company I joined was Hyundai Economic Research Institute, but I quit after 8 months.
The third was at an oil refinery company, and I also quit due to a conflict with my boss.
The fourth was a mid-sized financial company that was much smaller than the previous three companies, and I quit again less than two months after joining.
All of the friends gathered here had no doubt that Lee Gyeong-jeon would succeed.
Until I realized that he was an idiot who couldn’t stand injustice.
“I do not know. “Why am I doing this?”
“What are you going to do now?”

“I don’t know. Should we do business?”
Then a friend said.
“With your personality? “At work, you might end up getting fired, but if you assault a customer, you’ll be behind bars.”
“Is that so?”
“Are you some kind of Robin Hood? “Just be patient.”
“It’s not as easy as you think.”
I saw a counselor and went to a psychiatrist.
Because I want to cure my temper.
But it was all in vain.
I couldn’t hold back my anger when I saw that someone was being treated unfairly and everyone was pretending not to notice.
So we already knew that more radical actions would occur.
But knowing and acting are two completely different things.
“Our company has recently posted an announcement for an experienced position, so please apply.”
The person who was quietly listening to him spoke.
It was the best country.
Lee Gyeong-jeon turned his eyes.
“Korea-English general company?”
“Uh, it looks like they’re picking about three people this time. “The team leader there is my motivator.”
Everyone’s eyes widened when they heard the word ‘motivation’.
Choi Sang-guk has now been in his third year at the company.
A team leader after 3 years of joining the company?
I couldn’t believe it.
“what?”
Everyone opened their mouths and looked at Choi Sang-guk.
“Everyone will know. I told you this before, right? My name is Cheolsu Kim. Son-in-law of the Chairman of Hanyoung Group.”
“Oh, right! Have you already become a team leader?”
“Yes, I was promoted a week ago.”
“Aren’t you taking too much care of me just because you’re my son-in-law?”
Choi Sang-guk smiled at those words and shook his head.
“He is someone who has the ability to do that.”
“Aren’t you jealous?”
“It may be hard to believe, but he is such a good person that I have never felt anything like that. No, I’m someone who doesn’t think like that.”
Lee Gyeong-jeon became interested in Choi Sang-guk’s words.
“okay?”
“I think it would suit you well. But don’t grab him by the collar.”
Lee Gyeong-jeon tilted his head as if he was curious.
“why?”
“Because I think I’ll be the one who gets taken to the hospital.”
Everyone burst out laughing at those words.
Thank you, Manager. I love you.
“What are you running away from? “What am I eating?”
Ahn Jeong-gyu, who came out to the Sky Garden, spoke to the employees who slowly backed away when they saw him.
Kim Cheol-soo, who followed, burst into laughter.
“Among the executives, the only one who comes here is the general manager.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“Don’t you think they are out to keep watch?”
“Well, there is that too…”
Ahn Jeong-gyu grumbled while looking at the employees who were far away.
Kim Cheol-soo took out a cigarette and held it out, and Ahn Jung-gyu took out one and asked.
As usual, I lit his cigarette.
“Don’t you smoke?”
“If I even smell cigarettes on my body… I go crazy. “I can’t go into that house.”
“I don’t even have the slightest intention of smoking a cigarette, man.”
As Kim Cheol-soo smiled faintly, Ahn Jeong-gyu also nodded.
“You shouldn’t smoke something like this. “Because it’s not a good thing.”
“Haha, don’t worry.”
“Wow, I’m lonely. Junhak also went somewhere else. “I’m bored again because I can’t even see if it’s Park Jun-hyung or something.”
“Isn’t there Team Leader Pyo?”
“That guy comes home from work on time these days. “Wow, what is the world going to be like?”
“Haha, isn’t the head of the department watching everything even though you say that? “You recently gave birth to a child.”
“but. “It’s a good time.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu started to show a little gray hair this year.
“··· You can’t go somewhere else?”
Kim Cheol-soo nodded, looking at him who had already aged a little.
“Of course, Chief. “I’m not going anywhere.”
It was unprecedented in the history of the Hanyoung Group to start as a new rank-and-file employee and rise to the rank of deputy manager in just three years.
In the past, there was only one case of someone who entered an American university early, earned a doctorate in his early 20s, joined a company at the level of a manager, and became an executive in his late 20s.
It wasn’t long before I was scouted and moved to a bigger company.
“Eight! “Guys like you are the first to run away!”
“Because I’m not.”
Kim Cheol-soo grabbed a cup of coffee from the vending machine and headed to the railing.
While sipping sweet mixed coffee, I looked down on downtown Seoul with Ahn Jeong-gyu.
“I talked to the head of the human resources team. Let all the documents go through if possible. “The chairman’s son-in-law is planning to check everything.”
Kim Cheol-soo burst into laughter when he was told that he was the chairman’s son-in-law.
“thank you!”
“Well, since you’re the team leader now, you can do the interview yourself. You also have the authority to select team members. But if you pick strange people, they won’t approve it.”
“Director.”
Kim Cheol-soo looked down and said.
“If you set the standards too tightly, you will miss people like me.”
“You’re out of the question, man. “Even if I asked the world to find someone like you, I would never find one.”
Kim Cheol-soo crumpled his paper cup and grinned.
“I know.”
An Jeong-gyu also seemed to be speechless and laughed.
Kim Cheol-soo looked down at the jam-packed roads in downtown Seoul again.
Kennedy in Kenya.
Having never received a proper school education, he survived on his own in a harsh world and eventually began trading.
Then, in my mid-40s, I taught myself how to use a computer that I had never used before.
Because we have a good relationship with the local government, we were of great help during the last resource development.
And now he was making a good living running a used car import business.
And Kang Yun-sik, whom I met not long ago.
A person who was discriminated against despite having outstanding abilities.
In the United States, he was unable to demonstrate his abilities because he was an illegal immigrant, and in Korea, because he was old.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that if I left this recruitment matter to the human resources team, Kang Yun-sik would definitely be eliminated in the document review.
“Well, after traveling around the world for a while, I got that thought. “There are so many people who have abilities but whose value is not recognized.”
Looking at the profile of Kim Cheol-soo looking down at the world, Ahn Jeong-gyu opened his mouth.
“··· that’s right. There must be a lot of people like that. But from the company’s perspective, it’s a different problem. “To find good talent with a high probability, you need standards.”
“Yes, Chief. I know. but···.”
Kim Cheol-soo turned his gaze to Ahn Jung-gyu and smiled.
“If you measure people by standards that are generally considered correct or normal, their specialness will be filtered out. “I don’t think we even have a chance to see what kind of abilities they have.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu nodded.
“It looks like there’s someone who has taken a liking to you, right?”
“··· yes.”
“That person probably doesn’t meet the standards of our company’s human resources team.”
“Maybe so.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu took a deep drag on his cigarette and looked at Kim Cheol-soo.
In terms of individual ability, there was no one in the entire group who could compare to Kim Cheol-soo.
Considering that Park Dong-gyu was raised so well, he has the potential to be a good boss.
However, the position of team leader and the tasks the team leader was responsible for were on a different level.
A team is about sharing and sharing tasks that cannot be done alone and making things happen that cannot be done alone.
And the leader of that team was the team leader.
Although President Choi Young-jun actively pushed for it, there were many doubts among executives as to whether Kim Cheol-soo had the qualifications to be a team leader.
I had never led a team before, and I didn’t have any experience to do so.
“Because of your background, you won’t be actively tackled, but there will be a lot of people waiting for an opportunity. “I’m trying to put you down somehow.”
“··· Yes, Director.”
“It’s important not to give them a chance. “It means that it’s important not to do anything that might be criticized.”
Kim Cheol-soo also nodded with a bright expression as if he agreed with Ahn Jeong-gyu’s serious words.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“I don’t have a 1% thought that you can’t do it. However, the team member’s fault is the team leader’s fault. “Be sure to keep in mind that your teammate’s mistakes are your mistakes.”
“I take responsibility for what happens on my team. But sooner or later everyone will want my teammates.”
Kim Cheol-soo never once said that he couldn’t do it or that he couldn’t do it.
Even now, he was subtly persuading himself, and Ahn Jeong-gyu knew that it was time to move on.
“okay. Who do I trust if not you? But keep in mind that with authority comes responsibility.”
“Thank you, Director. i love you.”
“Mr. Disgusting!”
Seeing Kim Cheol-soo approaching, Ahn Jeong-gyu looked disgusted and took a step back.
However, Kim Cheol-soo always treats himself in the same way no matter what position he is in.
‘But… I’m still less lonely because I have this guy.’
