A few days passed like that.
“Kim Cheol-soo.”
Kim Cheol-soo quickly turned his head when he heard team leader Ahn Jung-gyu walking toward Team 5.
“Yes, team leader.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu handed a document to Kim Cheol-soo.
“An agency has been created in Kenya. That is contact information, so we will contact that agency in the future to link up business.”
“Yes, team leader.”
As soon as Kim Cheol-soo received the documents, he checked who the agency agent was.
– Kennedy Jouma.
‘okay! I already needed it.’
After checking the time, Kim Cheol-soo contacted the Kenyan agent.
The signal went on for a while, and then a ‘pop’ sound and a connection tone were heard.
– Hello. This is Kennedy, an agency located in Nairobi, Kenya, of Hanyoung General Trading Company.
Kim Cheol-soo smiled and answered the familiar voice.
– Uh, I’m Kim. How have you been?
– wow!!! my precious friend. Thanks to you, I got a stable job. thank you so much.
– what. Because I had the skills, I was able to seize the opportunity when it came.
-Thank you for the compliment. It’s okay to give that kind of praise often.
Kim Cheol-soo chuckled at those words.
– But what happened?
– Uh, I need to check something for you.
– Just say anything. I was bored all day because I already had nothing to do.
– Could you please check the status of mineral resources being investigated in Kenya?
– Mineral resources?
– Things like gold, rare earths, and iron ore.
– ah! Why is that?
– I thought it would be a good idea to develop an undeveloped mine if there was one.
– uh? Isn’t that a huge undertaking?
– yes. I’m thinking of coming up with a business plan. Please do a thorough investigation.
– Since it’s a precious friend talking, of course you should handle it well.
– thank you. And 250 machines will arrive by the end of July. When the schedule comes from the ship, I will let you know the docking date.
– okay. When those items arrive, I can check the quantity here and confirm transportation with ATC, right?
– huh. If we confirm it locally, the paperwork will be completed here.
– okay. Once the mineral matter is investigated, I will send it to you by email. But it’s my first time using a computer, so I don’t know if I can do it well. Should I just send it by airmail?
– no. Study the computer.
– okay.
When Kim Cheol-soo hung up the phone, Lee Jun-hak turned his chair.
“Kenyan minerals?”
“Yes, Assistant Manager Lee.”
“Were there any minerals in Kenya?”
Lee Jun-hak looked back on his memories for a moment.
“Neighboring Uganda and Tanzania are actively developing minerals, but Kenya seems to be particularly lacking in such activity, so I’d like to look into it.”
“You’re sure that’s true, aren’t you?”
“Yes. If there is an undeveloped mine, it could be a target for resource development, and since the infrastructure is not in place, large-scale development plans may be possible.”
“It’s entirely possible if you have a mine. It’s a good item.”
“Thank you, Assistant Manager Lee.”
Manager Pyo Il-su, who was listening next to me, said.
“Cheolsu, I’m not telling you that kind of story.”
Lee Jun-hak chuckled at those words.
‘This is a business that only Cheolsu can do. Manager Pyo. This guy knows that too, so he doesn’t even know what I’m telling you.’
“I’m already making a business plan. I won’t take anything away from Cheolsu. What about Manager Pyo?”
“I’m already making one. It has a greater possibility of becoming a reality than such an uncertain topic. What about you, team leader?”
“Stop talking nonsense and get things done! Work!”
With those words, Manager Pyo Il-soo focused on his work, and Lee Jun-hak opened his mouth.
“Do your best.”
“Yes, Assistant Manager Lee.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu, who was checking his email, secretly looked at the back of Kim Cheol-soo’s head.
‘Sneaky guy. It’s all being calculated. By the way, is it a Kenyan mineral? ‘Aren’t you doing something wrong?’
**
Friday, June 30th.
The first half of the year management performance presentation was held.
It was a time to officially share with all employees what business was promoted, what work was done, and how far the management goals were achieved.
Korea, which overcame the foreign exchange crisis, revved up its economic engine, and Hanyoung Corporation also rode that engine and achieved the best performance, so the presentation was a heart-warming event.
“Now, there will be an award for excellent employees in the first half of the year.”
Everyone wondered who it would be.
A special vacation of 3 days and 2 nights with a reward of 5 million won.
Of course, even if I received a special vacation of 3 days and 2 nights, I might be able to use it, but the reward of 5 million won was a large amount of money that could be enough to buy a compact car or the latest trendy kimchi refrigerator.
For some people, it was not a dream to buy their own home if they took out the deposit and took out a small loan.

Employees who thought their performance was excellent each had their own ambitions.
“Sales Team 5 Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak.”
Ambitious people clapped their hands willingly, even though they were disappointed.
I thought Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak deserved to win the award.
There is only one person, Ahn Jeong-gyu, watching quietly from behind.
When Lee Jun-hak came out and received a certificate and encouragement from President Yoo Ji-hoon and entered, people slowly got ready to stand up.
“There is a new award. This award is given to new employees who show the best performance in the first half of the year. A prize of 2 million won and a special vacation of 3 days and 2 nights will be given. There will be a commendation for excellent new employees.”
As the host spoke, almost everyone thought of one person.
“Employee Kim Cheol-soo of Sales Team 5.”
Surprised, Kim Cheol-soo stood up.
“Hey, our team has a happy day today!”
Pyo Il-soo was very happy and motioned for Kim Cheol-soo to leave quickly and then looked at Ahn Jung-gyu, whose expression was hard.
“Team leader, what are you upset about?”
‘That’s the case for Jun-hak, but why are you giving Cheol-su an award that doesn’t exist? Park Jun-hyung, you bastard. If you spit on Cheolsu and blow on him, I will have to make a life-or-death decision.’
“No. After this, I was thinking about the buyer I would meet in the afternoon.”
As Kim Cheol-soo stood in front of the podium, CEO Yoo Ji-hoon looked at him, recited the certificate, and handed him the certificate and award.
“I heard that you are doing very well these days. I hope you will continue to do more and help the company grow even more.”
“Thank you. I will work harder in the future.”
“Yes. That’s very reassuring.”
Yoo Ji-hoon shook hands with a satisfied expression on Kim Cheol-soo’s powerful answer.
‘This is my employee under someone. This guy’s performance is also my performance.’
As President Yoo Ji-hoon and Kim Cheol-soo shook hands, the people next to them sent congratulatory messages to Ahn Jung-gyu.
“Congratulations to Team Leader Ahn.”
“The team members take all the rewards.”
“envious.”
The team leader’s performance depends on team member management and team performance, so if team members win awards like that, the team leader’s performance was bound to be good, and the performance fee at the end of the year could be higher than the annual salary.
“Oh my, thank you.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu relaxed his expression and responded to their congratulations one by one.
After the first half performance presentation, Lee Jeong-seok made up his mind and spoke to Shin Dong-hyeon.
“Sir.”
“why?”
“I need to talk to you for a moment.”
That’s how it comes out
Lee Jeong-seok spoke in a quiet place without people.
“Assistant Director Shin.”
“Huh? What did you come all the way to the corner to talk about?”
“I saw the truth.”
Shin Dong-hyun had doubts when he heard that Lee Jeong-seok had seen it.
“What you looking at?”
“Didn’t you get a rebate from Solar Fiber?”
“what?”
“Shouldn’t I take that?”
“What do you mean? What do I get?”
“If you receive that, aren’t you going to proceed with the contract in their favor?”
“Ah, this bastard.”
Shin Dong-hyun frowned, grabbed Lee Jeong-seok by the collar, and pushed him against the wall.
“Hey! What are you talking about? You’re saying something like I got something from you! Is this guy crazy?”
“Sir, shouldn’t you return it and renew the contract?”
“Wow! What does this make of me?”
“If you do that, I will also keep my mouth shut.”
During negotiations with Taeyang Textiles, the problem was that Manager Cha told them to take Lee Jeong-seok along to teach him the job.
Clearly, Lee Jeong-seok was not there to receive the money.
But just because you saw it with your eyes doesn’t mean it’s evidence.
Due to the nature of general trading companies, such cases were common, and I thought it would not be a big problem.
“Do you want to mess up your work life?”
“I want to do well.”
“But why make a strict person into a bad guy? Do you have any proof that I received money?”
“yes.”
In response to such a firm answer, Shin Dong-hyun let go of Lee Jeong-seok’s collar, smoothed down the collar of his shirt, and spoke quietly.
“Let’s just skip this one time. I’ll make sure something like this doesn’t happen next time. Think about it carefully. If you distance yourself from me, the owner, over something like this, you’re tired too, right? And, things like this happen often. When you start a business, you too will face situations like this countless times. “How can you survive while working like a servant for 2 million won a month? You need to buy a house, buy a car, and get married, but you can’t do that with that kind of salary. Just think of it as a bonus from working, right?”
Even though I thought that what Assistant Manager Shin was saying quietly was correct, my heart was telling a different story.
“Still, I don’t think this is the case. It may be nice to receive the money now, but the company’s internal regulations also state that both the person involved and the person who condoned rebates will be severely punished. I can’t ignore this, even to protect myself.”
“Ah, bastard. Why am I so frustrated!”
Shin Dong-hyun couldn’t hold back his anger, so he screamed and kicked the wall.
“You know the term ‘Slayer of Death,’ right?”
“yes…..”
“Know that if you report something like this, only a corpse will be left behind. Don’t kill yourself. We’ll wait and see.”
When Shin Dong-hyun said that and kicked out the door, Lee Jeong-seok sighed heavily, took out the recorder he had put in his pocket, and pressed the stop button.
[As Jeong-seok said, it would be best if the corruption ended. If it doesn’t end there, it is important to secure evidence of how much effort Mr. Jeongseok has made to avoid damaging teamwork.]
Lee Jeong-seok thought that if it weren’t for Kim Cheol-soo’s advice, he would have lost his mind in this situation.
**
After lunch time.
“Hey! Lee Jeong-seok. Can’t you hurry up? Why is the kid so slow? Is this why he can’t do his job properly?”
Pyo Il-soo, who was looking at Shin Dong-hyeon who was anxious because he couldn’t catch Lee Jeong-seok, spoke quietly to Lee Jun-hak.
“Why is he like that?”
“I don’t know. Something must have happened.”
“That kid is like that too, so he’s no better than you?”
“Ah. Manager too. When did I say that?”
“What about sticking out your flippers? Did you pass that on to Assistant Manager Shin?”
“I don’t know, Chief.”
Lee Jun-hak pretended not to notice what Manager Pyo said, and Pyo Il-soo burst into laughter.
When the office became quiet, Kim Cheol-soo called Lee Jun-hak.
“Sir.”
“why?”
“This is about it. Looking into it, it looks like it could make money. Why did you stop?”
Lee Jun-hak opened his mouth when he saw the message on Kim Cheol-soo’s monitor.
“That’s a corruption case. One of the executives created a local paper company. And through that company, he engaged in four-way trade. If he had done three-way trade, the company could have earned a high margin of over 10%, but that paper company “They took 6%. They took advantage of a loophole that allows most business plans to pass if the margin exceeds 3%.”
“But why isn’t this business reopening?”
“They say the buyer is from China. Once the contract is lost, they change their business partner. It was probably taken care of by another company.”
“It’s a big loss for the company.”
“Yes. So, compared to the scale of the corruption, the level of disciplinary action was quite large. Four people had their clothes taken off, and two people received severe disciplinary action. Currently, all six people are not at the company.”
“I was thinking of using it in next year’s business plan, but it’s a shame.”
Assistant Manager Shin Dong-hyeon became anxious after hearing Lee Jun-hak and Kim Cheol-soo talk.
Then, he glared at the back of Lee Jeong-seok’s head with an uncomfortable expression.
Feeling Shin Dong-hyun’s sharp glare, Lee Jeong-seok clenched his fists and recalled Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
[Once is not enough. He tries to persuade me a few more times. Let’s hold out as long as we can until the team leader of Team 4, who is on an overseas business trip, arrives.]
‘I’ll hold on somehow.’
**
“What about withdrawal?”
When Kim Cheol-su was about to have an end-of-work meeting and Kim Cheol-soo was nowhere to be seen, Ahn Jeong-gyu asked.
“He said he was coming because he went out for a while, but hey, he’s coming.”
Everyone only looked at Kim Cheol-soo’s hand when they saw him holding something dangling in his hand.
“Forgive me for being late.”
Kim Cheol-soo bowed his head and handed out the gifts he was carrying one by one.
“What is this?”
“I think I won the excellent new employee award thanks to the team leader, Manager Pyo, and Assistant Manager Lee. Although it’s not enough, I wanted to express my gratitude. I heard that children like it and a lot of women visit.”
Lee Jun-hak secretly looked at the brand and exclaimed ‘Oh’.
“Is this pretty expensive?”
“The prize money I received is big, so I have to do something like this.”
In response to Cheolsu’s words, Pyo Ilsu asked.
“How much does it cost?”
“It will cost about 80,000 won per set.”
Pyo Il-su’s eyes turned round at Lee Jun-hak’s words. Ahn Jeong-gyu also looked inside him secretly and said.
“A box of snacks costs 80,000 won. Anyway, thank you.”
“No. I am rather grateful.”
Pyo Il-soo stroked the head of Kim Cheol-soo, who was sitting next to him.
“This kid is good.”
“That’s right.”
Lee Jun-hak also nodded, raising the corners of his mouth slightly and agreeing.
Ahn Jeong-gyu looked at the paper bag in Pyo Il-su’s hand and said.
“Manager Pyo.”
“Yes, team leader.”
“You haven’t eaten anything like this, have you? Assistant Manager?”
“Yes. I understand that you don’t eat snacks.”
Pyo Il-soo watched Ahn Jeong-gyu, not knowing what he was going to say.
“What are you doing by taking something that you can’t eat? If you take it home, won’t it just be a decoration? Give it to me. Let the kids get it.”
Pyo Il-soo, who thought it would be great to give it to Assistant Manager Park Eun-sook, answered with a straight face.
“Heh! Team leader too. Why are you taking away my gift? I need this too.”
At those words, Ahn Jeong-gyu glanced at Pyo Il-soo.
“I need?”
“Well… that means eating.”
“Are you eating it? It looks suspicious?”
Ahn Jeong-gyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Pyo Il-soo.
“Oh my. Why are you looking at me like that? It’s almost 6 o’clock and you’re not having an end-of-work meeting!”
Next to me, assistant manager Lee Jun-hak clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘It’s only a matter of time before you get caught.’
Ahn Jeong-gyu’s gaze shifted from Manager Pyo Il-soo to Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak.
“Does this assistant manager have anything?”
“Ah. I’ll organize a company dinner next week, team leader.”
“Okay. Korean beef?”
“oh!”
