Rookie Employee Kim Cheolsu Chapter 8

Resize text-+=

Friday evening at 6pm.

Starting this year, the five-day work week is in effect, so Saturdays and Sundays are off, but for An Jeong-gyu, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are Fridays and Fridays.

My goal was to become an executive, so on Saturdays and Sundays, unless I had something special to do, I had to go to the golf course, the mountains, or a fishing spot to spend time with executives.

So Friday evening is the only time I can have dinner with my family.

Since it was always a meal out at this time, the kids were waiting for their dad to be so eager.

I never hold meetings or conferences after Friday evening.

Ahn Jeong-gyu, who felt good thinking about his children, shouted while massaging his sore neck.

“Hey! Let’s get off work! Oh, I’m dying!”

Pyo Il-soo and Lee Jun-hak also stood up and stretched.

Since they were specialized in the style of Team Leader Ahn Jung-gyu, who worked hard from Monday to Thursday to leave work on time on Friday, all important and urgent work had been completed.

As Lee Jun-hak was organizing his desk, he saw Kim Cheol-soo working hard to organize receipts.

“Cheolsu. Are you not going?”

“Please leave work first. I have something to do after I get this sorted out!”

“what?”

“I have an exam in three weeks.”

“Test? Ah! Okay, turn off the lights when you leave.”

“Yes, Assistant Manager Lee.”

As Ahn Jeong-gyu left the office with Pyo Il-soo and Lee Jun-hak, Kim Cheol-soo stood and bowed his head.

“Thank you for your hard work! See you next week!”

Pyo Il-su smiled as he saw that.

“He is the best among the new jockeys in this class when it comes to greeting people. Everyone who sees him bows as if his back is broken. Isn’t that right, team leader?”

“All new employees should do that. Things they didn’t do were abnormal. In my time…”

Ahn Jeong-gyu, who was in the middle of preaching about the memories of latte, got on the elevator and asked Lee Jun-hak.

“But what test is Cheolsu?”

“Ah, I told that guy to get a TOEIC score of 900 within April. Team Leader.”

At those words, Pyo Il-soo shook his head and said.

“Can the guy who came in with 700 points score 900 points in just 2 months? Assistant manager. I won’t tolerate it anymore if you get ripped off and another new employee leaves the company?”

Manager Pyo Il-soo liked Kim Cheol-soo the most among the new employees who had joined so far.

No complaints. No complaints. No change in facial expression even when shouting.

If you work on a document, there are no typos.

So, when I was asked to work on a document, what I liked most was that there were no typos.

“I’m also looking forward to seeing new employees. Manager Pyo.”

Lee Jun-hak said with a smile.

However, when Ahn Jeong-gyu heard Kim Cheol-soo’s story, he became annoyed.

A promotion is at stake!

‘…. Employee Kim Cheol-soo? He was sitting at the very back. After listening to the instructor, it seems like he has no concentration at all….’

“What are you looking at and grinding? Grinding? If you don’t get over 900 points, I’ll kill you.”

As Team Leader Ahn Jeong-gyu shouted, Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak and Manager Pyo Il-soo looked at each other to see what was going on.

‘what’s the matter?’

‘I do not know.’

8:30 p.m.

Blue House.

Kim Cheol-soo opened the door designated for Blue House staff use only and entered.

Many people were busy moving around there.

Choi Hye-na, wearing a stylish lace dress, saw Kim Cheol-soo coming in wearing a suit and waved to him.

Perhaps because of the heavy makeup, she looked like an elegant, high-class fairy madam in her early 30s.

“Mr. Kim Cheol-soo, here.”

Kim Cheol-soo approached Choi Hye-na.

Choi Hye-na crossed her arms and looked at Kim Cheol-soo from head to toe and sighed heavily.

“Performing is no joke.”

“I’m coming right from work.”

“If your skills weren’t that good, you’d be rejected right away. Sit on the chair in front of the mirror. I need to brush up on you for a moment.”

How nice it looks when you walk around like this.

Kim Cheol-soo knew how to walk around neatly, but he didn’t know how to be stylish.

Choi Hye-na sighed inwardly as she looked at Kim Cheol-soo reflected in the mirror.

‘No matter how you look at it, you’re ordinary, no matter how you look at it, you’re ordinary, no matter how you look at it, you’re ordinary, no matter how you look at it, you’re just an office worker.’

“I understand.”

Hearing Choi Hye-na’s words, Kim Cheol-soo turned his eyes towards Choi Hye-na.

“Why didn’t you become a singer with that kind of talent?”

“Head.”

“It’s not a hair problem. No, the hair is also a problem. First, the tie.”

Choi Hye-na said that and roughly untied the tie around Kim Cheol-soo’s neck.

Then, he undid the top button and spread the collar wide in two directions.

“Hmm. It’s okay… Take your shirt out of your pants.”

In response to Choi Hye-na’s words, Kim Cheol-soo neatly removed the shirt that was tucked into his pants.

“Take off your suit top.”

Wherever you look, Kim Cheol-soo went from looking like an office worker to giving off the air of a broken man.

But her gaze turned to her neatly combed hair.

‘Men’s fashion begins with hair style and ends with hair style.’

Choi Hye-na, who majored in fashion in France, thought so, put a lot of gel on both hands, applied it to Kim Cheol-soo’s head, and began to style Kim Cheol-soo’s hair according to the image that came to her mind.

The hair was semi-curly and soft with a hint of brown, so it was easy to care for.

Instead of his neat hair, he had messy hair, a handsome face, and eyes that seemed wet with rain, so female staff members passing by glanced at Kim Cheol-soo.

When the final task of fixing the trimmed hair with strong hair mousse was completed, Choi Hye-na nodded with satisfaction.

“How good does it look when you walk around like this?”

Hearing Choi Hye-na’s words, Kim Cheol-soo also spoke as he saw himself changing beyond recognition.

“If you go to work like this, you’ll be in trouble.”

Choi Hye-na snorted at Kim Cheol-soo’s answer and looked at her watch.

“Well, it’s 10 minutes ago, so get ready and go in. Have you prepared the song?”

“yes.”

“You don’t have to be particular about your words. Sing along with the natural flow.”

“Yes, of course.”

**

“So, is the assignment coming up this time really about team work?”

“I don’t think so. The topic is free, but it should be related to your job so it would be easier, right?”

Jang Yu-mi meticulously wrote down everything that instructor Kim Geun-wook said.

‘It’s not a picture like this.’

Dae-Hoon Hwang tried to make Assistant Manager Soo-Young Cha and Yu-Mi Jang become friends through this event, but Yu-Mi Jang was overly immersed in instructor Geun-Wook Kim.

The tremendous will to achieve good results at this presentation was radiating from my entire body.

“I’ve finished eating and I feel a little tipsy. Where should we go for another drink?”

At Dae-Hoon Hwang’s words, Assistant Manager Soo-Young Cha and Instructor Geun-Wook Kim nodded.

Jang Yu-mi wanted to ask Kim Geun-wook more, but she had no choice but to stand up.

“There is a very stylish live cafe that opened a while ago. The prices are not expensive and the atmosphere is very nice. I will take you there. What do you want, Yuri?”

“If the instructor goes.”

At Jang Yu-mi’s words, Cha Soo-young pulled Kim Geun-wook away.

“I’m going.”

They followed Hwang Dae-hoon to the front of a live cafe with a sign that said ‘Blue House’.

“Oh, a place like this has appeared? Has Dae-hoon been here?”

“Yes. I went there once with Manager Park.”

“It would be nice. The manager will take care of me because I’m Ace.”

“Hahaha. No.”

“Do you think it will be expensive?”

“It’s a little more expensive than the bars around here, but not so much that you feel like it’s expensive. I’ll buy it for you today, so don’t worry and eat it.”

As Hwang Dae-hoon spoke, Cha Soo-young tapped Hwang Dae-hoon on the shoulder and said.

“Okay. Well then, I’ll try to get it.”

When I entered the cafe, I found myself in a spacious interior space with a nice interior decoration.

On stage, a woman was playing the piano and singing in a weak voice.

They took a table and ordered beer and snacks.

Youngjun Choi, sitting in the VIP seat on the second floor of the Blue House, drank a glass of expensive wine while watching a woman singing and playing the piano.

After a while, Choi Hye-na opened the door and came in, and Choi Young-jun raised his hand.

“Are you here? But why are you alone?”

“Why can’t I come alone?”

“You can’t drink much alone.”

Youngjun Choi smiled.

“Don’t worry. Even if you eat alone, you will still pay for what 10 people eat.”

“Then you are welcome.”

“The interior is very nice, the atmosphere is nice and the piano sounds good, but the song is not great.”

“I knew that. He’s sensitive. Just wait. Our Blue House’s secret weapon will come out.”

“Secret weapon? I don’t know.”

Choi Hye-na took out a glass, filled Choi Young-jun’s empty glass, and then filled her own empty glass.

“Are you worried about something?”

“why?”

“It’s written like that on your face.”

“Phew. He’s quick-witted. The owner is Yu Ji-hoon, whom my father brought with him.”

“Why him?”

“You did well. I made a bet this time, but I foolishly got caught.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It means that my player in the bet is an asshole. One person ran up to me to grab my rope, but if I lose this bet, that rope might fall as well.”

Choi Hye-na, who heard Choi Young-jun’s sigh, took a sip of wine and opened her mouth.

“So, why are you living such a headache? I told you to live comfortably like me. If you sell your shares, I will pass on several generations to you even if it means living off of it for the rest of your life.”

“That’s nonsense.”

“Father only looks at your ability. If you don’t think you can do it, just give up.”

“Not yet.”

Choi Young-jun clinked glasses with Choi Hye-na and turned his head.

When the woman playing the piano came down, the people below clapped quietly.

And a new person came up to the stage carrying a guitar, and it looked quite atmospheric.

“Is that him?”

“huh.”

“singer?”

“No. Office worker.”

Choi Young-jun chuckled at Choi Hye-na’s words.

“A person who excites you so much should become a singer, right?”

Choi Hye-na was about to say to Choi Young-jun, ‘I work at my brother’s company,’ but closed her mouth.

It is not too late to surprise Youngjun Choi even if you take it slow.

“You should listen. There’s a reason I told you to come at this time.”

**

Kim Cheol-soo was uncomfortable because his vision was obstructed by the hair covering his eyes, but he had no trouble playing the guitar.

I performed a lot while playing in a band in college, so standing in a position like this doesn’t make me feel excited or make a mistake.

However, the sight of Hwang Dae-hoon and Jang Yu-mi in one corner was slightly annoying.

They used to look this way, but when I saw them talking about their stories indifferently, I realized how much Choi Hye-na’s grooming can change a person.

‘As expected, the people who eat and live in places like this are different.’

When I looked upstairs, it seemed like a magic mirror had been installed and I couldn’t see inside from the outside.

‘Is this how we can find Executive Director Youngjun Choi?’

It would be great if I could meet Director Youngjun Choi here and get to know him, but just being able to work part-time here was worth it.

Because you can make money.

“Hello. I’m Eddie, an amateur singer.”

Instead of his real name, Kim Cheol-soo introduced himself using the stage name he used in his college band.

When I spoke in a low voice, people’s eyes were focused on Kim Cheol-soo.

Then, when he started playing the guitar, people started to focus on his story again.

Start with everything that is familiar and easy to understand.

Yesterday – the Beatles.

As soon as the man on stage sang the first verse, Jang Yu-mi turned her head without realizing it, and it wasn’t just the table where Jang Yu-mi was sitting.

Many people turned their attention to the stage.

It was a husky and sweet voice with unknown depth.

Choi Young-jun, who was talking to Choi Hye-na, stayed silent when Kim Cheol-soo sang on stage and did not say a word until the song ended, fixing his eyes on the stage.

When the song ended, Choi Hye-na asked.

“how is it?”

Instead of answering, Youngjun Choi smiled and gave a thumbs up, as if he was satisfied.

“Then eat in moderation. I’ll increase the sales a lot.”

“uh.”

As the man on stage began to sing, Jang Yu-mi’s eyes never left the stage. Cha Soo-young and Hwang Dae-hoon exchanged glances.

‘It won’t work here.’

‘Shall we move it somewhere else?’

When Cha Soo-young nodded, Hwang Dae-hoon began speaking.

“It’s almost 11 o’clock. Should I just get up?”

Jang Yu-mi looked very disappointed, but when she looked at the clock, she was startled and stood up.

“I guess so.”

When Jang Yu-mi came out, she quickly said hello to the three people.

“I have a curfew, so I have to go home now. I learned a lot today and had a good time.”

As Jang Yu-mi hurriedly caught a taxi and disappeared, the three men chased the fleeing taxi with dumbfounded expressions.

“If only I hadn’t gone there.”

Cha Soo-young looked at the Blue House, took out a cigarette, took a cigarette, and chuckled.

“Sir, I will give you another opportunity later.”

“Daehoon. I don’t know anything else, but I’m also from the human resources department. The love line between Yumi and I is no different from a subway train that runs parallel forever. Ah! What a sad life!”

“What’s wrong with you, assistant manager?”

Instead of answering, Cha Soo-young exhaled white cigarette smoke.

**

Kim Cheol-soo received an encore, but came off the stage.

I had to be careful with my words if I was going to do another 2 hours tomorrow.

When I entered the staff room, Choi Hye-na was waiting.

She handed Kim Cheol-soo a nice envelope encrusted with gold leaf.

Kim Cheol-su looked at the amount and tilted his head.

“There’s more in it?”

“A customer who was satisfied with Cheolsu’s singing left a tip.”

“ah!”

“Don’t be late tomorrow?”

“Of course. But is there a place I can wash my hair?”

“Why? Does that hair suit you?”

Even as she asked, Choi Hye-na pointed to a door on one side.

“You can take a shower there.”

Kim Cheol-soo neatly washed and dried his hair, combed it again, put his loose shirt into his pants, tied his tie, and put on a suit coat.

Then, holding the briefcase and looking in the mirror, I checked my clothes one more time.

Choi Hye-na quietly watched Kim Cheol-soo do it.

‘funny. Why are you going back to that stupid style? So, you’re saying that that stupid style is better than the style I gave you?’

Choi Hye-na was upset at the thought that she had been ignored for no reason.

“Then I’ll go in.”

Choi Hye-na looked at Kim Cheol-soo and nodded.

“Surely you won’t show up like that idiot tomorrow again?”

“I’ll try.”

“I look forward to it.”

As Kim Cheol-soo was about to leave the door, Choi Hye-na called.

“Mr. Kim Cheol-soo.”

“yes?”

“Do you like how it looks now?”

“This is the most appropriate attire for an office worker.”

“….I see. Let’s go in.”

Although this is true, Choi Hye-na, who was still not in a good mood, became irritated with the staff.

As he left the Blue House, Kim Cheol-soo placed his hand in his suit pocket and felt the thick feeling once again.

‘600,000 won!’

Kim Cheol-soo burst into laughter and immediately picked up his cell phone and called home.

– Huh? why?

– Do you want some whole chicken?

– salary day?

– no. I just got some money.

– I’ll order two.

I already know

“Do you go to work on Saturday too?”

“Uh. It’s not enough, so I have to go and work hard.”

Kim Cheol-su sat on the threshold and nodded, putting on his shoes.

“Yes. That’s right. Someday, there will be bosses who will recognize me.”

“Then let’s go.”

“Have a nice trip. Are you late today too?”

“huh.”

Jin-sook Yoon was trying to clean up what she had eaten for breakfast after Cheol-soo Kim left, but Young-soo came out after washing up and came out holding five 10,000 won bills.

“Mom. Is this my pocket money?”

Jinsook Yoon looked at the bills in Yeongsoo’s hand and shook her head.

“I guess my brother left it behind.”

“Huh. It’s good that my brother got a job.”

“What is this guy doing who doesn’t even get paid?”

“So this is mine?”

“Okay. I have to shower quickly and go to school.”

“Oh. I’m excited!”

While Jinsook Yoon was cleaning up the table, she saw a white envelope placed under the chair she was sitting on and picked it up. There was writing on the outside.

– Mom’s shoe heels fell off. If you wear something like that, your legs will hurt. Mom, you know I’m in trouble if my leg hurts, right?

Jinsook Yoon wiped her eyes with her sleeve without realizing it.

‘This damn son of a bitch. ‘Why do you keep making her mom cry?’
