After the orientation was over, Assistant Manager Go Dong-jin called Kim Cheol-soo aside.
“Mr. Kim Cheol-soo.”
“yes.”
“Please wait a moment.”
Hearing Go Dong-jin’s words, other new employees looked at Kim Cheol-soo with curiosity.
“Alright, everyone else, please go to your department now.”
Kim Cheol-soo knew.
Why did Assistant Manager Go Dong-jin call him?
After all the other new employees left, Go Dong-jin spoke to Kim Cheol-soo.
“Follow me.”
“yes.”
The place I followed Ko Dong-jin into was a conference room, and there sat a person who was very familiar to Kim Cheol-soo.
It was Manager Park Jun-hyung.
It’s over your heads.
“Employee Kim Cheol-soo?”
“yes.”
“Come and sit here.”
Kim Cheol-soo walked slowly toward the chair.
A nice curly hair style with a gentle look.
A hanger that goes well with neat and unique outfits.
A likable voice and confident eyes.
This is what I think when I first see him.
What a wonderful person.
After 3 years of joining the company, assistant manager, after 3 years, manager, after 4 years, assistant manager, after 2 years, manager.
He was an ultra-elite employee who joined the company as a rank-and-file employee and became a manager in his late 30s.
Even though there were numerous stories of adultery, Manager Park Joon-hyung was always ranked first among female employees’ favorite boss.
And in his fourth year as manager, he was promoted to executive and rose to executive director. He was considered a man of great standing in the company.
“This is Manager Park Jun-hyung. Is this your first time meeting me?”
Kim Cheol-soo responded while managing his expression leisurely.
“yes.”
“Seeing how nervous you are, you seem like a newbie.”
He started talking in a very soft voice.
“no.”
“I was probably a little surprised. I came to the headquarters, which is completely different from the desired department.”
“Yes, manager.”
“Actually, I used some strength.”
Kim Cheol-soo lowered his head with a surprised expression.
“Thank you so much, Manager.”
“During the interview, I was impressed by the fact that I memorized all of HYMS. At Hanyoung Trading Company, work is carried out based on that manual. If I wanted to come here so much, I wonder if I would have memorized that entire 55-page manual! I was really impressed.”
Manager Park Jun-hyung’s skillful speaking skills boil the hearts of new employees.
Kim Cheol-soo also managed his facial expressions to please Manager Park Jun-hyung.
Manager Park Jun-hyung, who thought the dish was almost finished, slowly began to reveal his true feelings.
Kim Cheol-soo also had an expression of admiration, but his true feelings were completely different.
“So, I have a favor to ask you.”
“yes.”
“If there is anything happening in Sales Team 5 that you think is strange, I would like you to report it to me.”
“May I ask why?”
“When employees work in one place for a dozen years, dishonesty and corruption occur. So, the human resources department sends people to each team to check the situation. You can think of Cheolsu as the person in charge of sales team 5. You can do it, right?”
It was a situation where if you refused, you would be filmed.
“It wouldn’t be right for me to refuse you when you are so kind to me.”
Park Jun-hyung thought with a satisfied smile on Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
‘It’s stupid so it’s perfect to use.’
“Then I look forward to it. I will keep an eye on it. If I become friendly with the personnel department, good things will happen in the future.”
“I will work hard! I will do my best! Manager, please take care of me.”
“great.”
After Kim Cheol-soo left the conference room, he glared coldly at the conference room door.
Office politics.
There are no papers dealing with office politics.
The company doesn’t take it seriously either.
It is a secret story to be discussed at company dinners or in private settings, and it belongs to the dark shadow of work life.
Nevertheless, office politics is the beginning and end of work life.
Whether or not you will resign depends on who you eat with on your first day at work.
New employees who have any sense of company politics rush to get any information they can before their first day at work.
18 years ago, Kim Cheol-soo was deceived by Park Jun-hyung and made a decisive contribution to causing team leader Ahn Jung-gyu to resign.
Lee Jun-hak, who longed for success, changed departments, and Kim Cheol-su became a motherless cub.
I ruined myself.
‘This time it won’t work out the way you think. Executive Director Park.’

After briefly ending the morning meeting, Deputy Director Ahn Jeong-gyu spoke to Lee Jun-hak while stroking his sore stomach as if stabbed by an awl.
“Junhak. Do you have anything to drink?”
After hearing those words, Lee Jun-hak quickly searched the refrigerator, but there was nothing.
“I’ll go out and get it.”
“No, that’s enough. By the way, when is our youngest coming? I think all the other teams are here?”
“I heard you got last place in the training center. Aren’t you stupid and lost your way?”
Manager Pyo Il-soo said, exhaling the faint scent of alcohol.
“I tried to at least see your face before leaving the management office.”
As Ahn Jeong-gyu got up and gathered his files, Kim Cheol-soo appeared.
“hello?”
At the sound of Kim Cheol-soo’s voice, everyone turned their attention to Kim Cheol-soo.
“This is Kim Cheol-soo, who has been assigned to Sales Team 5.”
“Oh! He’s a handsome guy.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu looked at Kim Cheol-soo and spoke his first words.
But that was the end.
Kim Cheol-soo, who was quietly watching them, spoke up.
“My place is…”
Lee Jun-hak pointed to one desk with his chin and spoke in a cold voice.
“there.”
“yes.”
Kim Cheol-soo put his bag on the desk, took out a hangover relief drink from it that he bought at a convenience store, and placed it on the desks of Deputy Manager Ahn Jeong-gyu and Manager Pyo Il-soo.
“Oh oh!!”
Ahn Jeong-gyu opened his eyes and looked at Kim Cheol-soo.
Pyo Il-soo just happened to want to drink, but he looked at Kim Cheol-soo with an expression as if he was wondering what kind of cake this was.
Ahn Jeong-gyu opened the lid of the drink on his desk, drank it in one gulp, and threw the empty bottle in the trash.
“You’re more perceptive than I thought? Our newbie?”
“I heard a rumor that they were treating a buyer yesterday. I took it just in case.”
At those words, Ahn Jeong-gyu grinned, picked up his bag and patted Kim Cheol-soo on the shoulder.
“Hey!!! It’s more than I expected. Thank you. I enjoyed it.”
Despite Ahn Jung-gyu’s praise, Kim Cheol-soo maintained a nervous expression.
“Assistant Manager Lee, take good care of the new employee. I’m leaving. If you get a call from Saudi Arabia, call right away? Okay?”
“Yes, team leader.”
When Deputy Director Ahn disappeared, Manager Pyo also drank a hangover relief drink.
“Junhak. I have a meeting!”
“Yes. Manager, please come back.”
Manager Pyo also went somewhere, and only Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak and Kim Cheol-soo remained.
Lee Jun-hak was staring intently at the monitor, as if he had no interest in Kim Cheol-soo.
Kim Cheol-su sat down at his desk and turned on the computer.
As instructed by the human resources department, I accessed the company’s intranet network, entered my personal information, and then looked at the company’s phone number and began to memorize it.
Lee Jun-hak glanced at Kim Cheol-soo, who was engrossed in the monitor.
When new people came in, there were usually two categories.
One is the type that fidgets and stares because they don’t know what to do.
Another type is the type that is greedy to jump into work with the thought of gaining recognition quickly.
But Kim Cheol-soo was not one of those two categories.
It was like memorizing the company phone book.
The first thing a new employee has to do when joining a company is learn people’s faces and names.
It was the most efficient method because the company phone book contained both names and photos. Without even informing me, Kim Cheol-soo was finding work on his own.
‘uh? ‘Look at this?’
Lee Jun-hak opened his mouth with his eyes focused on the text of the email.
“newcomer.”
“yes.”
“Your words are short?”
Kim Cheol-soo deliberately answered briefly.
This is because if you show too much perfection from the beginning, you may be put off.
“Yes… uh… Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak.”
“If you don’t even know the gunner’s name, why are you looking at the company phone book?”
“I’m sorry about that.”
“Have you had a social life before coming here?”
“No. This is my first time since graduating from college.”
“But what about drinks?”
“that.”
“I can’t see you flattering me when you can’t even work.”
“all right.”
Lee Jun-hak threw a bundle of documents next to the desk to Kim Cheol-soo.
“Please make three copies.”
“Yes, Assistant Manager Lee. But a copier?”
Lee Jun-hak became irritated by Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
“Can’t you find anything like that?”
“no.”
Kim Cheol-soo quickly stood up holding the folder and walked toward the copy room.
When a new employee first comes in, they are left without doing anything for at least two days or at most a week to get them used to it.
However, it is very quick to take on copying work as soon as you enter the office.
As Kim Cheol-soo headed to the copy room, he smiled as he looked at his classmates sitting at their desks and practicing on the wall.
If you mix the good and the bad in moderation, that’s what happens.
suitable situation.
Lee Jun-hak, who saw Kim Cheol-soo entering the copy room, shook his head several times.
I was just going to scold him, but I ended up making him work.
‘What is that guy?’
Lee Jun-hak turned his head again and looked at the copy room several times.
I realized that I had lost my pace to a new employee.
Lee Jun-hak slowly turned his eyes and looked at his watch.
“Isn’t this assistant manager too fast?”
Manager Cha Sang-hyeon of the textile team across from us said.
“You’re being swayed by a new employee, which is uncharacteristic of an assistant manager?”
“What do you mean by that? Manager Cha.”
Lee Jun-hak shook his head as if it was absolutely not true.
“We just changed our approach.”
“Our assistant manager speaks well.”
As soon as Kim Cheol-soo entered the copy room, he skillfully put documents into an unused copier and began making continuous copies.
Then, I quietly looked at the electronic watch on my wrist.
Looking at the page numbers, there are a total of 59 pages.
Part 3, Chapter 177.
The copier prints up to 30 sheets per minute.
So, if you finish it as quickly as possible, it will take 6 minutes.
It takes about 8 minutes to sort and retrieve copied documents.
However, 8 minutes was something that only a skilled second-year employee could do, and in my experience, most new employees exceeded 10 minutes.
So, the optimal Maginot line, where it is ambiguous to be angry or wary, is 9 minutes.
Kim Cheol-soo immediately set the alarm and started sorting the copied documents like a machine.
And when the alarm went off that 9 minutes had passed, I deliberately folded and unfolded the front cover of Part 1 and went back to the office with a copy.
As Kim Cheol-soo came out of the copy room, Lee Jun-hak looked at his watch.
9 minutes.
It was an ambiguous time, fast for a new employee and slow for an experienced employee.
Lee Jun-hak is feeling strangely annoyed.
Kim Cheol-soo arrived while the reply to the confirmation email sent to the buyer was being sent.
“I copied it from Assistant Manager Lee.”
“Are you going to hear that I’m good at my job by acting like a slug like that?”
“sorry.”
Lee Jun-hak wanted to say something more, but couldn’t think of anything to say.
“Put it over there.”
“yes.”
The moment Kim Cheol-soo was about to turn around.
“for a moment.”
Lee Jun-hak opened his eyes wide as if he had discovered something great and grabbed the hem of Kim Cheol-soo’s clothes.
Then he found a slight crease in the first page of the copy.
Lee Jun-hak, feeling strangely excited at finally finding something to criticize, stood up.
“Mr. Kim Cheol-soo?”
“yes.”
“The action is slow, but if the first page folds like this, how bad will my bosses feel when they see it?”
“sorry.”
“Are you going to work that way?”
“no.”
Lee Jun-hak was irritated, but Kim Cheol-soo answered calmly.
“Put it up and follow me.”
“yes.”
“You keep speaking shorter and shorter? Can’t you understand me once I say it?”
“I’m sorry, Assistant Manager Lee.”
As Lee Jun-hak left the office door, he slightly turned his head.
When he saw Kim Cheol-soo chasing after him, very nervous, he turned his head again and laughed.
I don’t know how poor his foreign language skills are, but from what I could see, he was the type suited to social life.
Even when I found fault with something that wasn’t a big deal and got irritated and angry, my expression didn’t change even once.
If you come out like this, you might see all kinds of different expressions on your face.
A poker face is a natural weapon for salespeople who have to deal with buyers.
‘Did the personnel department make a mistake in the evaluation?’
He was definitely not the type to receive a last place score.
I don’t do self-indulgence anymore
Lee Jun-hak, who came out to the sky garden on the 16th floor, took out a cigarette and took a bite.
Then he searched his pockets and his expression hardened.
Kim Cheol-soo expertly took out the lighter he had bought at a convenience store.
“Here I am, Assistant Manager Lee.”
While Lee Jun-hak lowered his head and lit a cigarette, one of Kim Cheol-soo’s eyes turned to the lighter protruding from the right pocket of Lee Jun-hak’s slim-fit suit.
Kim Cheol-soo learned all these things from Lee Jun-hak.
How to effectively harass and evaluate subordinates.
“Don’t you smoke?”
For singers, cigarettes were a bad food that damaged the throat.
“it’s okay.”
“The little boy doesn’t even know how to smoke.”
Lee Jun-hak didn’t even bother to suggest cigarettes.
I wanted to quit because I had my wife, Seonghwa, and I thought about my father who died from lung disease, but it seemed like it would be difficult until I finished working at the company.
Lee Jun-hak sucked the filter with all his might, as if trying to suck out the soul of the cigarette, and then exhaled cigarette smoke.
“how old?”
Not all corporate cultures are the same.
And depending on the personality of the manager, each department is very different.
It’s rare to find a place that speaks informally to new employees, but it’s always been this way here.
This is because it is a department where a female employee has never entered.
Military-style culture.
“I’m 25 years old.”
“What college did you go to?”
“I graduated from KD University.”
Lee Jun-hak tilted his head at the name he had never heard of before.
“Where is that university?”
“It’s in Gyeonggi-do.”
“Really? What class?”
“I majored in applied music.”
“What? Poetry…practical…music?”
Lee Jun-hak’s calm expression became distorted.
‘after. ‘I’m an idiot for having high expectations.’
For a long time, only sighs and cigarette smoke came out of Lee Jun-hak’s mouth.
“Why did you come to a place like this to play music?”
“I had to get a job due to family circumstances.”
“What is your TOEIC score?”
“705 points.”
“You just passed the document and got the score on the pull-ups. Do you know how to speak?”
“I am studying hard.”
“How much do you know about trading?”
“I am studying hard.”
“It’s terrible. Right now, our department needs an unrivaled newbie who can win contracts worth 30 billion won every year, negotiate fiercely with buyers, and resolve claims on his own. We don’t need newbies who are studying. If they can, they’ll just resign, right?”
Lee Jun-hak spoke without hesitation.
His style was to get rid of anything that might be a hindrance to him early on.
This is because it would be a big problem if something went wrong because of the second-in-command and he was disciplined.
‘It’s the same. Same. ‘Don’t you know how I tolerated something like that?’
Kim Cheol-soo smiled to himself and said with a nervous expression.
“No. I will be the president of this company someday.”
Lee Jun-hak burst out laughing at those words.
And then he laughed so madly that his intestines broke.
I felt really bad when I heard that I graduated from the applied music department of a university I had never heard of, but I felt a little better as I laughed out loud at the spirit of confidently saying that I would become the president of this company despite my own thirst.
KD University Applied Music Department? f*ck.
TOEIC score. f*ck
A poker face. okay
Overflowing spirit. okay.
The ultimate goal that every employee should aim for is the top, where thousands of people, including overseas employees, can be moved with a single word of a finger.
But these days, everyone who comes in is worried about how they can stay at the company for a long time.
They think they are public officials.
“What, boss? Does the boss look as easy as a puppy passing by?”
Lee Jun-hak lost his temper again.
After looking at his watch, Lee Jun-hak put out his cigarette and said.
“Get your TOEIC score above 900 within two months. Otherwise, I’ll make you realize why office life is called hell.”
“Yes! Assistant Manager!”
“A company is a place to work, not a place to study. Just look at your TOEIC book? You’ll die.”
“Yes! Assistant Manager!”
“And don’t even touch the phone until you give me permission!”
If this is the pattern, new employees usually answer ‘yes’ based on inertia.
Then, Lee Jun-hak was planning to urge you on what to do when you are alone.
“What if I’m alone?”
Lee Jun-hak was momentarily speechless because Kim Cheol-soo spoke first.
‘This bastard?’
I had some expectations about Kim Cheol-soo.
“Please ask another team. If you receive a call from a client and convey the wrong information, a major accident can occur.”
“I understand. Assistant Manager Lee.”
Kim Cheol-soo bowed deeply to his waist and showed his complete loyalty.
While laughing on the inside.
‘TOEIC 900? It’s funny. Are you kidding? Managing Director Lee.’
Lee Jun-hak threw the cigarette butt in the trash can and looked at Kim Cheol-soo and said.
“let’s go.”
fantasy, modern,
