The phone rings frantically, and Jun-hak Lee, who is busy moving around, seems to have no time to give instructions to Cheol-soo Kim, but it would be a mistake to think that way.
Even in the midst of hectic times, he was always checking what Kim Cheol-soo was doing with his knife-like eyes.
Kim Cheol-soo must have memorized all the company phone numbers, and was seen opening the work manual and accessing the team file system to check the structure.
Lee Jun-hak waited for Manager Pyo Il-soo, who had left for the meeting, and eventually called Kim Cheol-soo.
I couldn’t handle all the work I was doing by myself.
“newcomer.”
“Yes! Assistant Manager Lee.”
“Come on.”
As Kim Cheol-soo approached, Lee Jun-hak opened his desk drawer and took out a large amount of receipts.
“This is an expense receipt that needs to be submitted to the General Affairs Department by tomorrow, so organize it carefully. It will be your main job from now on.”
“Yes, I understand. Manager Lee. By the way, what about the glue?”
“Find it on your own. I’m so busy.”
“Yes, Assistant Manager Lee.”
After looking around the office, Kim Cheol-soo turned around and headed to the copy room.
Newcomers are still practicing face-to-face training in front of their desks.
They looked at Kim Cheol-soo walking up and down the hallway with envious eyes.
From there, I took A4 paper and then took out a glue stick and a ruler from the sales team 5 supplies drawer.
Kim Cheol-soo sat at his desk and sorted receipts by date on A4 paper, pasting them like a machine.
The corners of Lee Jun-hak’s lips lifted slightly as he watched this.
Lee Jun-hak’s smile when he’s in a good mood.
‘young. ‘You have a head for work.’
Kim Cheol-soo also secretly glanced at Lee Jun-hak, and when he saw the corners of his mouth turn up, he paid no more attention.
I won’t touch it until this is over.
There is a game I played as a child.
Get a chair.
That game where you spin around on one chair and then quickly rush in when the whistle sounds.
At first you wonder what this is, but once you get into the fun of it, you start to focus.
In order to sit on that chair, it makes you forget your friendship with your friends, throws away the calmness that used to save face, throws away all pretense, and moves like an animal hunting for its prey. When the play gets more intense, they start punching, scratching, pulling hair, and crying.
The same goes for the secret struggle in the workplace to occupy the chair called the president.
The reason why Park Jun-hyung wants to hit Ahn Jeong-gyu.
It is an act of trying to discourage participation in the chair sitting game.
Park Jun-hyung was promoted incredibly quickly, but Ahn Jung-gyu was not slow.
Deputy Director Ahn Jeong-gyu was someone who looked after his subordinates, was kind to his superiors, and did his job well.
Although he was slightly overlooked for promotion due to the tyranny of the HR department, he was highly evaluated by the company.
The reason Lee Jun-hak is sitting there is because of Deputy Director Ahn Jung-gyu.
However, in order to get to the position of president, something bigger than Deputy Director Ahn Jung-gyu’s connections was needed.
What a great connection.
However, it was not easy to build a relationship with such a great person in a company with a single department.
However, it was not impossible.
One person that comes to mind.
**
Around 8pm.
“Yes, you worked hard. Go in and get a good rest.”
“Go in, conductor!”
Ahn Jeong-gyu waved his hand and boarded the bus first, and Manager Pyo Il-soo spoke to Lee Jun-hak.
“Junhak, how about a drink today?”
“Oh my! That’s good, Chief.”
When Pyo Il-soo said that and turned around, Lee Jun-hak said to Kim Cheol-soo.
“New employees come in. And it’s for two months?”
“Yes. Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Manager.”
When Kim Cheol-su bent down and straightened, Pyo Il-su and Lee Jun-hak were already walking away.
In this situation, ordinary new employees ask, ‘Are they being bullied?’ , you think, ‘Did I do something wrong today?’, but in reality, that’s not the case.
It was obvious that those two people would be chewing themselves and clinking glasses today.
Since I had made a good impression on Lee Jun-hak, the conversation that would come up over drinks was clearly expected.
Kim Cheol-soo smiled and turned around.
‘I’m not tired.’
Ever since I was in my late 30s, whenever I get home from work, my body feels like water-soaked paper, my head feels blank, and when I wake up in the morning, the stiff symbol hangs its head down. My condition was so good that I thought it would be okay to run the 42.195km marathon right now.
I felt once again that the power of youth is amazing.
Kim Cheol-soo took out his wallet while walking to his destination.
There was a little over 10,000 won in it.
Since the company provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you won’t lose money unless you go out and buy something, but there is a limit to how much money an office worker can make.
If you take care of your younger sibling who is good at studying on your salary as an office worker, you have to wash your hands.
I have to postpone my marriage too.
18 years ago, I really didn’t know anything and invested everything in the company, but now it’s a completely different situation.
As long as he did not subscribe to the four major insurance policies, Cheolsu was free to make money with anything he wanted.
There was no need to be tied down to the company all the time like in the past.
Since you have the ability, networking is important.
The place where Kim Cheol-soo stopped was a live bar called ‘Blue House’, which seemed to have just finished construction and had construction materials scattered around.

And there was a job sign hanging in front of the door leading to the basement.
– Looking for a live singer. There is an audition.
There was once a rumor that he was in a relationship with the hostess here.
In order to become like that, you have to meet.
So that means you’re here, right?
If you see a TOEIC book during work hours, you will die.
Choi Hye-na glanced at Kim Cheol-soo.
Your face looks good and your body looks good too.
The suit is a market mark with an unknown brand.
His tie was worn, a Casio electronic watch, and a 5,000 won briefcase worth buying at a street vendor.
I wasn’t dressed for a place like this.
Passport hidden between inside shirt pockets.
And a leash with Hanyoung written on it.
“If you came here to do business, please go back.”
Kim Cheol-soo shook his head at those words and looked at Choi Hye-na.
I thought he was a fairly old bar owner, but he looked too young.
She looks like a noble lady,
Late 20s? If you look a little closer, he’s in his mid 20s.
“No. They said they were looking for a live singer.”
When Choi Hye-na heard that she was a live singer, her eyes widened in surprise and she looked at Kim Cheol-soo again.
“Really? To get into a company like that, I think I would have had to study, not sing. Well, it’s not like I’m going to get paid for auditioning, so… follow me.”
Kim Cheol-su followed her and looked around.
Although construction has not yet been completed, very high-quality interior materials were used, and it seemed like a lot of care was put into it here and there.
It didn’t seem like the purpose was just to sell alcohol to office workers.
Hye-na Choi said as she looked at Cheol-soo Kim, who was looking around.
“Follow along and listen. I have no intention of using this person as a live singer. If you feel that your skills are not good enough, you can give up.”
Usually, when I say this, mayflies who rush in without any skills give up and go.
“How much do you get paid to be a live singer here?”
Choi Hye-na once again looked at Kim Cheol-soo, who calmly asked about pay.
“..Well, there’s nothing in particular. I just do what I like. What kind of instrument do you play?”
“It would be nice to have a guitar, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t.”
“Good.”
Choi Hye-na took out a guitar from a small space next to the stage and handed it to Kim Cheol-soo.
Then he came down to the stage and sat down on a chair at the table.
“Do you have a preferred genre?”
Choi Hye-na responded to Kim Cheol-soo’s words.
“As long as it’s not loud and crazy.”
Kim Cheol-soo carried the guitar on his shoulder and quietly placed his hands on the guitar’s six strings.
It was an instrument I used for 10 years, including the military, from my second year of middle school to my third year of college.
And after becoming a wild goose dad, the guitar became my wife, my friend, and my children.
“Do you mind pop songs?”
“It’s even better if it’s a pop song.”
Hye-na Choi gave her gaze to Cheol-soo Kim, who continued the conversation calmly without any tension.
A few people went to the audition, but most of them were so nervous that they often stuttered.
As Kim Cheol-soo tuned the guitar and lightly plucked the strings, a pleasant chord flowed out.
However, Choi Hye-na did not have high expectations.
It’s hard to develop good skills even if you only focus on music, so how great can an office worker be?
As I was sinking into the leather chair, Cheolsu Kim immediately picked up the chords and started playing the melody.
My Love – West life
Choi Hye-na, who wasn’t expecting much, fell in love with Kim Cheol-soo’s powerful tone.
When Kim Cheol-soo finished singing, Choi Hye-na clapped her hands.
“It’s good.”
“thank you.”
“Hmm. Why aren’t you a singer?”
Kim Cheol-soo gave a short answer to Choi Hye-na’s words.
“Because my head is big.”
“Puuup!”
Choi Hye-na burst into laughter without realizing it.
“That’s not the only way to sing well, is it?”
“Sure.”
“Sing one more thing.”
Choi Hye-na placed both elbows on the table and rested her chin.
Then I saw Kim Cheol-soo singing another song.
In terms of ability, there was no need for me to become a singer right away.
The voice was so cool, and the sight of him singing a pop song while wearing a suit was especially impressive.
That wasn’t all.
There was a deep emotion that young people cannot easily possess.
It’s as if it’s coming from the heart of someone who has been through a lot of hardships for a long time.
“I feel like asking you to come all week. I already have friends selected.”
“Thank you for your words.”
“Married?”
Kim Cheol-soo shook his head at Choi Hye-na’s words.
“no.”
“Then is it available Friday and Saturday?”
Friday and Saturday were prime time.
“Please price it well.”
“100,000 won per hour.”
“200,000 won.”
“It’s too expensive.”
“Then I guess I’ll have to go somewhere else.”
When Kim Cheol-soo tried to get up, Choi Hye-na grabbed Kim Cheol-soo’s sleeve.
“15.”
“18.”
“Are you bargaining just because you’re a salesman?”
“My weekly allowance is 25,000 won. 30,000 won is a lot of money.”
“……..”
Choi Hye-na made a strange expression and let go of Kim Cheol-soo’s sleeve.
“….I’m afraid someone might not be a salesman…. Okay. 20. Instead, it’s 2 hours from 9 to 11. It’ll be difficult if you go out early.”
If you can do it for 2 hours two days in a row, you need to take really good care of your throat.
“These are unreasonable conditions.”
“Instead, if you last six months, I’ll double the amount.”
Kim Cheol-soo quietly looked at Choi Hye-na.
Either they have no concept of pay or they have a lot of money.
However, 4 hours a week is 800,000 won or 3.2 million won a month.
It’s more than my job salary.
It was a part-time job he couldn’t refuse, and the cafe survived longer than he was laid off 18 years later.
Newcomers are not given important tasks.
Even if such a task existed, it had already been experienced.
If Lee Jun-hak doesn’t do anything, there won’t be anything worth staying until 9 o’clock.
“great.”
Choi Hye-na held out her hand.
“So, you didn’t give me your full name? My name is Hye-na Choi.”
Kim Cheol-soo said while briefly shaking hands with Choi Hye-na.
“This is Kim Cheol-soo.”
**
“Why are you coming so late?”
Jinsook Yoon opened the door.
Kim Cheol-soo was speechless for a moment when he saw his mother.
“…Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“The cubs have to come in to sleep.”
“I might always be this late.”
“Of course. That’s the way it is. If you come in early, we’ll kick you out.”
“…Mom too…..”
“Now, if I get a job like Yeongsu earns, I think my mom will worry too much.”
It was my mother’s dream to see her two sons get married, have grandchildren, and live well.
“What…Youngsu?”
“I’m studying. I’ll put the boiler on, so go in and wash up.”
“huh.”
Kim Cheol-su washed himself in the small bathroom and entered the room.
It was almost 12 o’clock, and Yeongsu was sitting like a Buddha studying hard.
“Can you come in now, bro?”
“Uh, don’t look too close to the book. It will hurt your eyes.”
“Why don’t you wear glasses?”
“Wearing glasses ruins your handsome face.”
“Foot.”
Young-su fell into a book again, and Kim Cheol-soo looked at the back of Kim Young-su’s head while shaking his head, then opened the laptop placed in a corner and connected it to the Internet.
Among the welfare conditions of Hanyoung Trading Company was the provision of loans at low interest rates.
I didn’t know about this before, so I couldn’t use it at all.
When I searched, I found an item offering a loan of 20 million won at 2.5% per annum from my main bank.
For about 20 million won, you could go down to the bottom of this mountain.
I have to stop my mother’s leg from getting damaged.
Kim Cheol-soo captured the page, sent it to the company email, and closed his laptop.
Then I lay down on the bed on the first floor.
“Youngsu. Are you having fun?”
“huh.”
“What do you want to do later?”
“doctor.”
“why?”
“You make a lot of money.”
“because of money?”
“Just. I thought it would be reassuring to have a doctor in the family.”
In fact, Youngsu’s dream was to become a doctor, but he did not have enough money to go to medical school, so he went to engineering school.
“work hard.”
“Uh, brother.”
“My brother is sleeping.”
“huh.”
Kim Cheol-su lay down on the bed, covered with a blanket, and looked at the wall.
my dream.
My brother’s dream.
Mother’s dream.
Maybe no one gives up.
You might be able to do what you wanted to do.
Perhaps because of the sudden change he experienced, Kim Cheol-soo’s tired eyes naturally closed.
**
“ah!”
6 am.
Lee Jun-hak, who had been drinking until dawn, suddenly got up and started searching through his briefcase.
“What are you doing? Honey…”
Lee Jun-hak’s wife Jang Hye-young asked while rubbing her eyes.
“I left something at work. I have to leave now.”
“That’s stupid. What about food?”
“I don’t have time to eat that kind of stuff. I have to go to work and then go down to Busan right away. If I’m late, I’ll be in big trouble.”
“okay.”
Lee Jun-hak just washed his face and came out, and Jang Hye-young packed up her suit and put it on her husband.
“Then, I’ll go.”
“Drive carefully.”
“Uh. Jihoon will call me when he finds his dad.”
“huh.”
Lee Jun-hak arrived at the company by car.
I looked at the clock, it was 7:05.
Lee Jun-hak, who was rushing to the office in the corner, thought it was strange when he saw the light for Sales Team 5 turned on.
‘what? this time?’
In Lee Jun-hak’s eyes, he saw Kim Cheol-soo reading a book with earphones on.
“newcomer!”
Kim Cheol-soo seemed startled by Lee Jun-hak’s loud voice, took his earphones out of his ears, quickly closed the book he was reading, and stood up, covering it with his butt.
“Yes, Assistant Manager!”
“What are you?”
“No. I woke up early.”
“No! What are you covering? What is that?”
Lee Jun-hak pushed Kim Cheol-soo.
Then, the TOEIC book that became a rag caught Lee Jun-hak’s eye.
It was the TOEIC book that Cheolsu Kim always carried with him after he decided to get a job.
“you!!!?”
“I’m sorry, Assistant Manager Lee.”
“……..”
‘How many books did I have to read to become like that?’
Lee Jun-hak took turns looking at the TOEIC book with Kim Cheol-soo and then opened the TOEIC book.
There were tons of notes written on every page of the TOEIC book.
It was a sign of proper study.
Lee Jun-hak closed his TOEIC book and looked at Kim Cheol-soo.
“You said I would kill you if you saw me at the TOEIC book company, right?”
“I’m sorry, Assistant Manager Lee.”
“Mr. Lee… That’s right!”
Lee Jun-hak got annoyed, then remembered what he came here to do and hurriedly opened the desk drawer and took the USB stick and documents.
Then, as he was about to run, he stopped and said to Kim Cheol-soo.
“….newcomer!”
“Yes, Assistant Manager Lee.”
“…If I see a TOEIC book during work hours, I’ll die.”
“Yes, Assistant Manager Lee.”
“If I’m late because of you, I’ll come back and die!”
Lee Jun-hak said and ran down the hallway, raising the corners of his mouth slightly.
‘ah······. young···. ‘I like it.’
As soon as Lee Jun-hak left the office door, Kim Cheol-soo sat down and put the TOEIC book in the desk drawer.
I knew he would come early this morning.
Because it was the only day that Lee Jun-hak, who had been so harsh, got over it.
So I did a little directing.
Kim Cheol-soo turned on the computer and opened the Internet browser.
If I made money at a live cafe, I planned to use it to invest in stocks.
Because I need a lot of money to send my younger brother to medical school.
Today, let’s eat samgyetang and take care of ourselves.
Choi Young-jun, the fourth son of Hanyoung Group Chairman Choi Kyung-hoon and the managing director of Hanyoung General Trading Company, an affiliate of Hanyoung Group, got off for a moment on a street where entertainment districts are concentrated.
“Go in first. I’ll go after work.”
After saying that to his assistant, Youngjun Choi looked at the building with a sign saying ‘Blue House’ and went inside.
While Choi Hye-na was leading the hired workers and decorating the interior, she waved when she saw Choi Young-jun come in through the door. Then she came into a small, deserted room.
Choi Hye-na pointed to the coffee machine and opened her mouth.
“coffee?”
“I drank it.”
Choi Youngjun expressed his refusal and sat down on the chair.
“Are you eating breakfast? What did your father say today?”
He said that and looked around.
“What happened to the person who treated you like a child without a father?”
“It’s because you keep trying to leak in the wrong places. Are you really going to do this?”
“I plan to spend time here listening to music and listening to people’s stories.”
“That’s really fast.”
“It’s good for you, right? Because you’re missing a strong competitor.”
Choi Young-jun burst out laughing at Choi Hye-na’s words.
“Yes. Our strongest competitor is missing.”
“Right? So, come visit us often and increase our sales.”
“Well, my younger brother runs the business, so I’ll come, but why don’t you just listen to your father?”
“Are you crazy? Marrying someone you’ve never met?”
“Your father is saying this because he is thinking of you.”
“f*ck you. You’re sacrificing me for your father’s business. That’s enough. If you’re going to talk like that, get out.”
When Choi Hye-na pushed Choi Young-jun, Choi Young-jun stood firm and said.
“I wasn’t sending you abroad to study.”
Choi Hye-na giggled at those words.
“Your brother didn’t send it to you, right?”
“I made the suggestion.”
“That’s right.”
“My father was worried. He was worried that the youngest daughter of the Hanyoung Group Choi family would be known to run a bar.”
“Well, my father will probably stop me from speaking out. I have no intention of saying such a thing myself.”
“What if I do something like this and get embarrassed by the wrong guy?”
“You know my brother, right? I’ve been learning Taekwondo since I was young.”
Youngjun Choi shook his head.
“I’ll attach someone to you. You can use him as a bodyguard.”
“Wow, are you taking care of your youngest brother? After all, you are the only one who has an older brother.”
“I am a child taken away from home, but my younger brother is my younger brother.”
“The other brothers don’t think so.”
Choi Young-jun was the only person in the family who cared for Hye-na.
“So, even if you listen to your father.”
“no.”
Youngjun Choi shook his head and then looked at his watch.
“I have a board meeting in the morning, so I have to go.”
“Yes. Thank you for your hard work. Bring in people more often and increase your sales.”
Choi Young-jun waved his hand as if he understood what Choi Hye-na said and left the store.
fantasy, modern,
