Hanyoung General Trading Company’s closing ceremony began at 3 p.m.
Everyone except the minimum number of people gathered in the main auditorium.
After the brief opening ceremony, President Yoo Ji-hoon stood in front of the podium.
“It looks like everyone’s face is glowing today. Is it because tomorrow is a holiday?”
Everyone burst into laughter at Yoo Ji-hoon’s words.
“This year, Hanyoung General Trading Company achieved 158% of its sales goal.”
At those words, everyone cheered and clapped their hands, and when the cheering stopped, Yoo Ji-hoon made a presentation about the overall business performance of Hanyoung Corporation.
Afterwards, the heads of divisions came out and reported the work performance of each department.
In particular, the work performance of the 5 sales teams was 221% of the target, an all-time high.
Construction orders received from Nigeria played a major role.
After the headquarters managers finished reporting on their work performance, the moderator and CEO Yoo Ji-hoon stood on the podium to present awards and awards.
“There will be a reward for the team with the best performance this year. The prize money is 20 million won. Now, let me announce it. The best team that brought glory to the company this year is the 5 sales teams of the sales department. Team leader Ahn Jeong-gyu? ”
An Jeong-gyu, wearing a suit ironed like a knife, walked forward and shook hands with Yoo Ji-hoon while hearing people cheering.
“I look forward to your continued support next year, Team Leader Ahn.”
“I will do my best, boss.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu held the commendation certificate and prize money up in both hands as if showing off, and people applauded him with a mix of jealousy and congratulations.
As Ahn Jeong-gyu came down, the host prepared the next award ceremony.
“We will announce the Excellent Employee Award given to the employee with the best performance in the second half of the year. A three-day reward vacation and a prize of 5 million won will be awarded.”
The host paused for a moment, checked the list, and then spoke again.
“Perhaps everyone can agree. We have received a large amount of construction work in Nigeria through our unique sales method.”
At those words, everyone’s eyes turned to Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo of Sales Team 5.
Manager Lee Jun-hak received the first half, and Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo received the second half.
The highest performing team is also the 5 sales teams.
“Assistant Manager Kim Cheol-soo of Sales Team 5!”
Cheolsu Kim scratched his head, stood up, bowed slightly to the people clapping his hands, and headed to the podium.
“I saw you here in the first half of the year, and I see you at the closing ceremony as well. I hope you continue to work harder for our Hanyoung Trading Company.”
“Thank you, boss!”
Kim Cheol-soo answered bravely, and Yoo Ji-hoon thought as he handed over the prize money and certificate.
‘He’ll have to catch this guy at the talent center next year.’
As Kim Cheol-soo came down, the host picked up the microphone.
“Then, finally, I will present the Outstanding New Employee Award.”
People looked at Kim Cheol-soo again as he came down, but Kim Cheol-soo thought that couldn’t be possible.
The host looked at people’s reactions and opened his mouth again.
“This is Yumi Jang, an employee of Sales Team 2.”
Jang Yu-mi is currently on a business trip, so the head of Sales Team 2 received it on her behalf.
After the awards and awards ceremony, Yoo Ji-hoon gave his final closing speech in front of the podium.
“Thank you all for your hard work this year. Organizational reorganization, large-scale personnel expansion, team goal setting, and salary negotiations are scheduled for early next year. Enjoy your New Year’s holiday, and we will see you recharged at the opening ceremony on January 2nd.”

“It’s okay, team leader.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu divided the team reward of 20 million won and gave it to the team members, but Shin Kyeong-mi refused to receive it.
“It’s been a while since I joined the team, and I haven’t contributed anything to the team’s performance, so I don’t think I’m receiving it.”
“Eh. It’s hard.”
“That’s a reasonable idea.”
“okay.”
Ahn Jeong-gyu answered like that and gave the envelope back to Shin Kyeong-mi.
“It’s encouragement to work hard next year.”
“…..”
When it was said that it was not a reward but an encouragement money, Shin Gyeong-mi had no reason to refuse.
Shin Kyeong-mi suddenly received the envelope given by Ahn Jung-gyu, and Lee Jun-hak, who was looking at it, raised a smile.
Shin Kyeong-mi was good because she was sure about getting things done, but it felt like she was hitting a wall.
If left like that, the team atmosphere would be disturbed, but Ahn Jeong-gyu also seemed to have noticed that.
“Are you just going to gulp it down?”
Shin Kyeong-mi didn’t know what to say to Ahn Jung-gyu’s words.
‘What do you want after giving something you don’t like?’
Ahn Jeong-gyu looked at Shin Kyeong-mi staring at him and gave the last envelope to Kim Cheol-soo.
“Thank you, team leader. I will work hard next year as well.”
When Kim Cheol-soo expressed his gratitude as soon as he received it, Ahn Jeong-gyu looked at Shin Kyeong-mi and said.
“Uh, yes. The reward is given for a job well done, but it also means that you should not relax and work harder next year. Don’t you think so, Manager Shin?”
At the company Shin Kyeong-mi worked for, there was no such thing as a team reward.
All evaluations were made on an individual basis, and even if the team’s performance was good, if an individual’s performance was poor, they were immediately fired.
And because all awards were given to individuals, there were no such inconvenient situations.
– When you go to Rome, you follow the Roman laws. Now, I hope you follow my wishes as the team leader.
I realized that what Ahn Jeong-gyu said was not limited to commuting time.
Shin Kyeong-mi took a long sigh and looked at Ahn Jung-gyu.
“Thank you, team leader.”
“Uh-huh. Okay. Let’s all get off work early today. Let’s see each other with smiles in the New Year.”

Early morning on January 1st.

Sunrise time is 8:10 am.
Cheolsu’s house was bustling since dawn.
There were many people coming to Namsan Palgakjeong to watch the sunrise, so the whole family was planning to take the first train.
“Youngsu! What are you doing? Quickly wash up and come out, you’ll be late!”
Watching the sunrise at Namsan Mountain every year was a ritual that Jin-Sook Yoon had been doing for a long time.
Wanting to do something for her husband, who was always exhausted from his difficult life, she took her husband and family to Namsan every New Year’s morning.
Despite the difficult circumstances, he was very frugal and used the money he had saved to throw a generous family dinner.
As we watched the sun rising from the darkness, we were able to have hope that our lives would one day become that bright.
Even after her husband died, she took her sons to Namsan every year to see the sunrise.
Jinsook Yoon looked at the private photo of her husband that she was going to put in her handbag.
Since there was no body, they took him like this.
Then I took a quick look around the house.
Home appliances that Cheolsu had equipped with various excuses.
‘I guess our withdrawal is going so well because of you. Please protect my family from heaven this year too.’

“Huaaaaam!!”
Choi Hye-na woke up and stretched to the alarm she set for 5 a.m.
The sun rises 365 days a year, so she thought there was no point in celebrating the sun just because it was January 1st, but today was different.
Today was a day with special meaning.
Seeing that he even told me about a place called ‘Palgakjeong’ when I could have just answered ‘I’m watching the sunrise at Namsan Mountain’, I couldn’t sleep because I thought he might also want to meet me.
As soon as she woke up, she checked her face for pimples and complained.
“Your eyes are red!”
After taking a shower and thinking about what to wear in the dressing room, she first took out colorful bohemian-style clothes, then put them back, and chose a suit that showed off her body well.
Choi Hye-na, who put eye drops in her eyes and carefully applied her makeup, went out carrying her handbag.
‘It’s Namsan Octagonal Pavilion.’
I’ll ask you one more time
Individuals were not allowed to climb Namsan Mountain by car to the observatory.
Only taxis carrying foreigners or vehicles with disabilities were allowed to pass.
So I usually go up by bus, cable car, or on foot.
Kim Cheol-soo, who got off at Namsan Library and was going up to Octagon Pavilion, approached Jin-sook Yoon, who was constantly touching her knee as if her leg was sore.
Then he knelt down and said.
“Mom, get on my back.”
“That’s it.”
“Quickly. So why did you ask me to come this way? There is an easier way.”
“Hurry up. Before there are more people.”
As Kim Cheol-soo helped her, Jin-sook Yoon shook her head as if there was nothing she could do and climbed onto Kim Cheol-soo’s back.
“It must be hard for you.”
“No problem. Youngsu, please take the lunch box that is in your mother’s hand instead.”
“Uh, brother.”
Since his body was already toned down through exercise and his mother was very thin, Kim Cheol-soo took a step forward without much effort.
“Next year, let’s go to Naksan. The sunrise there is so good.”
“Naksan, Gangwon-do? Ugh. How do I get there? I’ll be exhausted from taking the bus.”
“Why take the bus? You should take the car.”
“You want to buy a car? A guy who works has some kind of money.”
“Even if you work hard, you can make a lot of money. I worked hard last year, so I’ll get a lot of bonuses this time. I’m going to buy a car with that.”
“Just save up and buy a house for yourself.”
“Don’t worry. I will buy a house.”
“What kind of bonus is worth hundreds of millions of dollars?”
“Well, that could happen.”
“Hey, make sense. Your father didn’t get it that way either.”
Kim Cheol-soo spoke confidently in response to Yoon Jin-sook’s words.
“That remains to be seen.”
It was a chilly -4 degrees Celsius, but sweat beaded on Kim Cheol-soo’s forehead after walking for about 10 minutes.
“Put it down now. It’s gotten a lot better.”
“Just a little more.”
Cheolsu was so stubborn and said while looking at Yeongsu.
“Youngsu. Shall we have a running race?”
“Running on your mother’s back? You think I only study.”
“Do you want to do it or not?”
Youngsu already knew what his brother was going to do, but he pretended not to know and shouted.
“call.”
Kim Cheol-soo was so stubborn that he carried his mother on his back for another 10 minutes and ended up arriving at Palgakjeong.
Yeongsu had already climbed up and was waiting for Cheolsu, who was struggling to come running.
“Cheolsu, please get off.”
“I’ll drop you off right away anyway.”
Kim Cheol-soo arrived at Palgakjeong and quickly dropped off Yoon Jin-sook.
Youngsu, who was watching this, spoke to Cheolsu with a triumphant look.
“You’re not Superman, how can you beat me while carrying your mother?”
“Hehehehe… that’s right. I thought you were just studying, but you have quite a bit of stamina, don’t you?”
“Of course. When I go to school, I also exercise for a full hour.”
But Jinsook Yoon knew.
Why did Cheolsu ask Yeongsu to have such a match?
‘Since when on earth did this guy’s feelings become this deep?’
Jinsook Yoon left her slightly red eyes to the cold wind for a moment.
“Oh my. Mother has become very heavy too. I think she used to be as light as the wind.”
“What? Inseok!”
Of course, the time when Kim Cheol-soo was as light as the wind was the time when he had lung cancer.
Because I was 150cm tall and only weighed 32kg.
