Rookie Employee Kim Cheolsu Chapter 9

Resize text-+=

Kim Cheol-soo went to work at 7 a.m., warmed up at the gym, and came into the office around 9 a.m.

Around this time, rumors about Kim Cheol-soo had spread throughout the company.

An unqualified person joined the company just because he memorized HYMS during the interview and was assigned to the sales team, which can be said to be the core department of Hanyoung Corporation.

Most people thought that Kim Cheol-soo was a parachute.

However, no one knew who the parachute that put Kim Cheol-soo in was.

“Hello. Manager Kim.”

“Hello, Assistant Manager Yu!”

“Hello, Assistant Manager Park!”

There were three people sitting in the large, long office, and Kim Cheol-soo went around and politely greeted each of them.

But everyone just looks at Kim Cheol-soo with cold eyes.

Kim Cheol-soo didn’t care much.

First of all, I showed a good performance to team leader Ahn Jung-gyu, manager Pyo Il-soo, and assistant manager Lee Jun-hak.

When a person who was thought to be poor begins to show signs of growth and achieves things that were thought impossible one by one, the reversal effect seen from the outside is greater than one can imagine.

Kim Cheol-soo sat at his desk, turned on his computer, and looked at the anniversaries of his team members that he had organized in a file.

‘hmm. Monday is Team Leader Ahn Jung-gyu’s wedding anniversary. Next month is Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak’s wife’s birthday.’

In order to conduct company politics properly, you must establish human relationships that go beyond interests.

This doesn’t mean you should flatter them, but just show them that you are very interested in them.

Even just the act of celebrating your partner’s anniversary makes it difficult for them to become hostile.

It doesn’t have to be an expensive gift.

In particular, Team Leader Ahn Jung-gyu was surprisingly indifferent to this anniversary.

Team leader Ahn Jeong-gyu couldn’t have been in a good mood after being ripped off from home because he couldn’t celebrate his anniversary.

It’s natural to be annoyed at work.

If the team leader gets irritated, Manager Pyo Il-soo or Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak can also get excited over something trivial.

And the youngest must receive it all.

It is essential to do this for yourself as well.

Next, I accessed the Internet and began collecting information related to the family of the chairman of Hanyoung Group.

Kim Cheol-soo was scattered all over the place, taking notes on all the rumors about the chairman’s family that were spreading through the mouths of employees.

I also scraped news from very small sources such as news, local newspapers, etc. and saved them all on my computer.

The company is not a democracy.

So power is not 1/N.

Having the support of the majority does not give you power.

Even if he gets attention from his classmates, he can’t get just one Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak, and even if he gets love from all of his classmates, Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak can’t get the attention he gets from Manager Pyo Il-soo, and even if all the managers in the company like Kim Cheol-soo, a word from team leader Ahn Jeong-gyu is more important. Has great power.

If you go up like this, the core of power is ultimately Choi Kyung-hoon, chairman of Hanyoung Group.

Even if everyone is against it, the chairman just has to agree.

Even if everyone hates you, if the chairman likes you, your company life will flourish.

That’s what office politics is like.

A representative example is Manager Park Jun-hyung.

On the one hand, if he built such a huge conglomerate with his bare hands, it also meant that his capabilities were beyond those of ordinary people.

If you want to respect someone in a company, that person must be the chairman who has the most power in the company.

If you want to learn from someone, that person should be the president.

Only then will you be able to think like a chairman when you move up to the manager level or higher.

Only if you can think like that can you be chosen by executives.

Kim Cheol-soo began to really focus on finding something from Choi Kyung-hoon.

**

When I entered the Blue House at 8pm that evening, Hye-na Choi came into the staff room shortly after.

Choi Hye-na glanced at Kim Cheol-soo with disapproving eyes.

The length of my legs didn’t match, I wore jeans that looked saggy at the hips, and a horizontal striped shirt that didn’t match the color of the jeans. I think it was said that the head gives strength, but it seemed like a softie.

‘And white socks and black shoes!!!’

“Is that best?”

Kim Cheol-soo laughed and scratched his head at Choi Hye-na’s words.

“yes.”

“You really have no fashion sense. Do you have any other clothes?”

“I do have a suit.”

“I’d rather change into that. Change and sit over there.”

Choi Hye-na grumbled, but it wasn’t an unpleasant grumble for Kim Cheol-soo to hear.

Not long after Kim Cheol-soo took the stage, the tables on the first floor were filled with a lot of people.

Most people were savoring Kim Cheol-soo’s songs rather than talking drunk.

Choi Hye-na, who lived in France for a long time, did not like the idol songs played in Korea at all.

And in Europe, you can listen to live music whenever you want, but in Korea, there aren’t many places to listen to live music.

So, I’m going to run a decent business. In fact, it was a bar where people went to listen to live music.

And without even thinking about it, a very shiny gemstone came in a bunch.

In the VIP ROOM on the second floor, Choi Hye-na was sipping champagne and had already become an audience member of Kim Cheol-soo.

**

sunday.

night.

“Honey! I’m here. Water!”

Ahn Jeong-gyu opened the apartment door and came in out of breath.

Today, I climbed Soyosan Mountain with the vice president and executives, and I couldn’t buy a bottle of water because I was thirsty while driving the executives home.

Song In-sook saw that it was almost 11 o’clock on the clock, so she scooped up water from the water purifier and gave it to Ahn Jeong-gyu.

Ahn Jeong-gyu took the water without saying thank you, gulped it down, and flopped down in front of the front door.

“Huh…what about the kids?”

“I’m sleeping. You’re covered in dirt, so don’t sit like that. Take off your clothes and wash up quickly.”

Ahn Jeong-gyu intuitively felt that his wife’s tone of voice had risen.

“Oh, that’s right.”

“I work all the time without weekends, when will that shit go away?”

Song In-sook was lying down holding Ahn Jeong-gyu’s soft belly, and Ahn Jeong-gyu realized that his wife was angry and quickly stood up.

“That’s right. I’ll take a shower quickly.”

Without further delay, Ahn Jeong-gyu put down his hiking backpack on the floor of the entrance, took off his hiking clothes, and ran into the bathroom in his underwear.

I didn’t know that if I had been a little late, a whistling sound would have burst out of the mouth of my beautiful wife, who was eight years younger than me.

After taking a shower, Ahn Jeong-gyu quietly entered the bed where his wife was lying.

To comfort Song In-sook, who was upset, I hugged her from behind.

“I’m sorry. I’ll have more time when I’m promoted to manager.”

“P. That’s what you say, but don’t you know that you’re busier than when you were the manager?”

“I’m serious this time. If I become a manager, my salary will go up by about 20 million won. Then, I’ll have to sell this house, take out more loans, and buy an apartment in Gangnam. I’ll send my kids to high school there too.”

At those words, Song In-sook’s anger calmed down a bit.

“When are you going to become a manager?”

“I have to finish it this year.”

“Are you sure?”

Ahn Jeong-gyu thought of Kim Cheol-soo, but soon erased it from his mind.

“Of course. My name is Ahn Jeong-gyu. Ahn Jeong-gyu.”

Song In-sook relaxed as Ahn Jeong-gyu whispered confidently.

Still, I haven’t had a proper sleep in the last few days.

Song In-sook slightly looked forward and tried to turn around.

But soon a sound is heard.

“Drurling…pooh…..”

Song In-sook fiercely pulled the blanket.

A dazzling blue light passed through her eyes.

‘This human. really···. ‘Let’s see what we do tomorrow.’

“Hello! Team leader!”

Ahn Jeong-gyu yawned and waved at Kim Cheol-soo’s gangster-style greeting.

After receiving greetings from Manager Pyo Il-soo and Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak, he put his briefcase down under his desk and changed into slippers.

“Team leader. Is Americano okay?”

Ahn Jeong-gyu’s eyes sparkled at the cold store-label coffee that Kim Cheol-soo gently offered him.

Seeing everyone sipping coffee one by one, it looked like Kim Cheol-soo had bought it.

I still wanted to drink some cold coffee.

“I’ll eat well.”

Ahn Jeong-gyu said thank you, put the straw in the coffee cup to his mouth, and sucked on it.

‘Aww, that’s good.’

“Come on, let’s have a meeting.”

As Ahn Jung-gyu shouted, everyone gathered at the meeting table.

Ahn Jeong-gyu asked while looking at the expressions of Pyo Il-soo and Lee Jun-hak.

“Why is everyone so smiling?”

“Isn’t today the day?”

“that day?”

“Hey payday.”

As Manager Pyo Il-soo spoke with a smile, Ahn Jeong-gyu nodded.

“Did the bill come in?”

“Yes. It came in the mail.”

“Seeing you guys smiling this morning makes me feel good too. Isn’t Cheolsu coming?”

When An Jeong-gyu called Kim Cheol-soo, Kim Cheol-su took something out of his desk drawer and came.

Everyone looked at what Kim Cheol-soo was carrying.

“Congratulations, team leader.”

When Kim Cheol-soo gave it to Ahn Jeong-gyu, Ahn Jeong-gyu looked at Kim Cheol-soo with an unexpected expression and said.

“What? This? Some kind of celebration?”

“Isn’t it your wedding anniversary today?”

“ah!!!”

Ahn Jeong-gyu was able to know what day today was after hearing Kim Cheol-soo’s words.

At that moment, I thought of my wife, who had been trimming her nails in a strange mood since morning.

If Kim Cheol-soo hadn’t reminded me, I would have gone home without even knowing what day it was.

After that, the price tag wasn’t the problem.

‘gulp!’

“Ahahaha!! That’s right! Today was our wedding anniversary! Thank you!”

“No. It’s sparkling wine, but I don’t know if your wife will like it.”

At those words, Manager Pyo Il-su nodded and said.

“Your wife likes sparkling wine. Let’s see.”

Pyo Ilsoo looked at the wine bottle inside.

– Cremant de Bourgogne

“Junhak, is this your wife’s favorite wine?”

Lee Jun-hak also looked at the wine bottle in the paper bag and nodded.

“Yes, that’s right. You liked this the most.”

“Our Cheolsu has great sense.”

“That’s right.”

In fact, Ahn Jeong-gyu didn’t know that his wife liked this wine, but after hearing Pyo Il-soo and Lee Jun-hak’s words, he engraved it in his mind again.

Then he looked at Kim Cheol-soo with a proud expression and spoke again.

“Thank you, Employee Cheolsu Kim. How did you know about my wedding anniversary?”

Kim Cheol-soo answered with a very serious expression.

“No, team leader. You always treated me warmly when I came in without even having the basics, so I was always feeling grateful. So, I thought about how to express my gratitude. Thank you always, team leader.”

Of course, I couldn’t figure out that it was Kim Cheol-soo’s acting.

No matter where you look, he was just a new employee full of energy and passion.

Ahn Jeong-gyu’s heart was touched by Kim Cheol-soo’s sincere tone and earnest expression.

‘This bastard…’

“Okay, I understand. Now, let’s have a meeting.”

Ahn Jeong-gyu put the wine gift he received from Kim Cheol-soo under his desk and said while looking at his team members.

“Let’s leave work at 6 o’clock today. Is that possible?”

At Ahn Jeong-gyu’s words, the expressions of Manager Pyo Il-soo and Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak became lively.

“of course!”

**

After the team meeting, when team leader Ahn Jung-gyu entered the executive meeting, Manager Pyo Il-soo tapped Kim Cheol-soo, who was sitting at his desk, on the shoulder.

“Yes! Manager Pyo.”

When Manager Pyo made a hand gesture that looked like he was smoking a cigarette, Kim Cheol-soo quickly stood up.

Manager Pyo Il-soo, who saw the lighter and xylitol gum in the desk drawer, nodded and left the office.

Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak, who came out late, wrapped his arms around Kim Cheol-soo’s neck and said.

“Huh! I’m a newbie. Are you doing something?”

“No, Assistant Manager Lee Jun-hak.”

“If my team leader’s wedding anniversary had passed, I would have found out how great his team leader’s mouth is with all the irritation in the world. It’s not a good experience.”

‘I already know.’

“You still don’t smoke, right?”

“Yes, Assistant Manager Lee.”

“Don’t smoke. It’s bad for your health. And don’t feel relieved just because you got a compliment. You know how to get 900 points on TOEIC, right?”

Kim Cheol-soo responded to Lee Jun-hak’s words.

“Yes, Assistant Manager Lee. I’m working hard.”

At those words, Lee Jun-hak released his arms and walked quickly towards Manager Pyo Il-soo, who was walking away.

‘You go to work on Saturday and Sunday? Damn… Passion is amazing.’

The corners of Lee Jun-hak’s seemingly expressionless lips turned up slightly.

I don’t know, I guess it hurts somewhere.

“Why did you get off work so early?”

Kim Cheol-soo looked at his watch at Yoon Jin-sook’s bruising.

It was just after 7 o’clock at night.

“Today, the team leader said he would kill me if I didn’t come home from work.”

“Well, are there any team leaders like that?”

Kim Cheol-soo turned his eyes and saw the new shoes laid out neatly.

It was the same shoe I had seen before.

That one for 10,000 won sold at the market.

“Why don’t you buy some nice shoes?”

“That’s the best god for mom.”

“Anyway, take care of it.”

“Are you hungry? I have tofu, so I’ll make you tofu miso soup. Wash it quickly.”

“uh.”

When I entered the room to take off my suit, there was a white envelope sitting next to the bed.

– Son, use the rest when you get married.

I put in 100,000 won, and there really was 90,000 won.

“Oh really.”

Kim Cheol-su looked at his mother preparing food outside the door and shook his head.

Even my late father couldn’t do anything about that stubbornness.

However, Kim Cheol-soo put 300,000 won back into it.

After washing up and sitting down at the table where the meal had been prepared, Kim Cheol-soo held out a white envelope.

“When are you getting married?”

“It’s monthly rent. Monthly rent.”

“what?”

“I live at my mom’s house, right? I have to pay rent.”

“Haigo. It’s done.”

When Yoon Jin-sook flatly refused, Kim Cheol-soo changed his mind.

“You said that was your first number when you entered Yeongsu High School? Is it number 5?”

“Why is that?”

“I’m short because I don’t eat well.”

Yoon Jin-sook was impressed by Kim Cheol-soo’s words.

“Why are you suddenly talking back?”

Kim Cheol-soo held out the envelope again.

“Put some meat in Yeongsoo’s lunch box. He doesn’t get angry even if he eats a whole chicken by himself. What should I do if he doesn’t grow taller because he can’t eat?”

Yoon Jin-sook’s eyes grew sad at those words.

“This guy. Did he eat something wrong?”

“no.”

“But, it seems like something has changed.”

“I’m always the same.”

“No. What’s strange?”

“You’re not going to give me meat for Youngsoo?”

When Cheolsu asked again, Jinsook Yoon had no choice but to accept the envelope.

“If Youngsoo doesn’t grow taller, it’s mom’s fault from now on.”

“What? This guy.”

Kim Cheol-soo put a mouthful of rice in his mouth, munched on it, scooped up some soybean paste soup, and drank it.

“Ah. It’s delicious. Of course, my mom’s food is the best.”

Although he couldn’t do that in the past, now Kim Cheol-soo can easily break Yoon Jin-sook’s stubbornness.

“Hey, what did you put in so much money?”

Jinsook Yoon asked after checking the inside of the envelope.

“Today is payday. So I told Mom to buy me good shoes, but she didn’t listen.”

“Was it my son’s first payday? It’s already that time.”

“You don’t have to give me pocket money from now on. I’ll take care of it.”
