Chapter 414
When the project, which had been drifting for almost half a year, was suddenly carried out in an instant, they began to work every day with urgency.
“yes. The recruitment of designers necessary for production has been completed.”
“No, we are thinking about 4,000 models that we are thinking of implementing.”
“A budget request? I think I sent you an e-mail the other day... Wait a minute.”
“Yes, boss. No, that\'s not what I mean.....”
Managing Director Kim Young-chan\'s life-and-death project is pursued with the goal of expanding the sales market to the world and innovatively reducing costs.
KG Land, a super-large comprehensive home appliance store platform based on virtual reality.
In the process of promoting this, Manager Park Jin-tae and Assistant Manager Koh Dong-ho could understand Manager Yang Min-hyeok\'s words of overly praising Jae-young, who was just an intern.
“Manager, I have organized all the materials related to the product catalog to be sold to Arcadia Co., Ltd.”
“uh....? This is the material I asked for from Assistant Manager Kang...? When did you do more than that?”
“Assistant Kang Ha-yul was too busy with other work, so he asked me.”
“Uhhh... yeah...? It was quite a lot, but I had a hard time.....”
“What? Is there anything else you would like me to do?”
He does whatever he is told to do and finishes it perfectly without any flaws. In addition, the work processing speed was also faster than expected, so compared to other employees, it was serving at least two servings.
“Hey Jaeyoung..... are you busy right now...?”
“Jaeyoung! Can you send me the report?”
“Jaeyoung~ I’m sorry, but can I ask you a favor...?”
It wasn\'t long before the work ability was more competent than expected, and the entire department started to hand over their work one by one to a single intern. It was a level of work that would not be strange for a normal intern to run away crying and saying he couldn\'t do it a long time ago, but he didn\'t say anything regretful and silently handled the tasks that were handed over to him.
‘What kind of intern is that...?\'
And Park Jin-tae, who watched the scene quietly, groaned inwardly. He is showing an image that is completely different from his common sense, having already brought in and sent out interns dozens of times. In fact, to put it bluntly, interns were not very necessary within the department.
Copying documents, cleaning the office, tidying up the kitchen, running coffee errands, replacing the water purifier...
Other than that, ordinary interns who do only minor chores.
Unlike those who do mediocre things that are nice to have but don\'t have, Jaeyoung has become an indispensable being, taking care of the work of employees in the department and taking on the role of a kind of fixer.
‘Is this why we said we were lucky to have this friend as an intern...?\'
Minhyuk Yang, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd., seemed to be speaking from the bottom of his heart. Director Park Jin-tae, who was immersed in his own thoughts while recalling his story, suddenly saw a person breaking into the office and jumped up from his seat in amazement.
“Sa manager?”
Kim Young-chan, managing director of the virtual reality division. When he appeared without warning, the entire office fell silent, and then everyone stood up and bowed their heads.
“Ah... everyone has a lot of trouble. I just stopped by after passing by for a while, so don’t mind me and see what everyone else is doing.”
Managing Director Kim Young-chan waved his hand as if it was no big deal and told him to do what he was doing. The staff, who had been hesitantly paying attention to his words, began to sit down one by one. And soon, he cautiously said to Manager Park Jin-tae, who had a puzzled expression on his face as if he did not know why.
“That... intern friend.”
“yes. Intern Jaeyoung Yoon?”
“Oh yeah. I would like to talk to you for a moment. Could you come to my office with me?”
“yes....? Oh, I see.”
When the managing director suddenly comes to ask for a talk with the intern, he asks back with an absurd face. However, he soon lowered his head and replied that he knew.
‘Is it because of this project...?\'
Director Park Jin-tae, who had already thought that he would be interested in the above because of his report on the intern. He didn\'t know the reason for the sudden call, but he didn\'t think much of it and headed to the office of Managing Director Kim Yeong-chan with Jae-young.
“ah. Come in and sit there.”
He greets the two with a welcome look. And then, starting with the weather, we started talking to Jaeyoung, asking all sorts of trivial and miscellaneous questions.
‘what....?\'
Managing Director Kim Yeong-chan, who only talks to the intern, leaving himself like a sack of barley. A strange sense of déjà vu began to linger in Jin-tae Park\'s heart because he was not the one to waste time talking about nothing.
“Your intern application is unique. It was so interesting that I directed my secretary to find out because of my personal curiosity.”
Confession of managing director Kim Young-chan who suddenly jumped in after talking about all sorts of miscellaneous things. Jaeyoung, who looked at him so proudly saying that he had done some background investigation, was silent for a moment, then smiled brightly and asked.
“Did you do a background check on me?”
A question that is smiling but strangely thorny. Although it was not something that a mere intern would dare to do in front of an executive, managing director Kim Yeong-chan smiled broadly and apologized as if he wasn\'t offended at all.
“haha. I\'m sincerely sorry if it offends you. I never had any bad intentions. It was just a personal curiosity.”
“So... did you find out anything about me?”
Jaeyoung asks with her eyes shining as if she is interested. And to him, Managing Director Kim Young-chan replied with a deep smile.
“of course. A friend with a pretty unique history.”
As he talked about the information he had confirmed at Seomin University through his secretary, he glanced at Jaeyoung with a very unexpected look.
“I heard that the synchro rate is the highest in the world? Thanks to that, I was selected as an industry-academia cooperation scholarship student at Arcadia Co., Ltd. and periodically visited the company to help with various researches...”
He talks about the superficial information known to Seomin University. Even that alone made Manager Park Jin-tae\'s eyes wide as if they were going to pop out, but he shouted in surprise at the words that followed.
“World-renowned creator Mr. Im and I are best friends.”
“yes....? What does that mean...?”
A genius creator who enjoys an enormous influence all over the world.
Mr. lim.
Surprised by the word that he was best friends with him, Manager Park Jin-tae looked at Jae-young with a face of disbelief and muttered.
“I can\'t believe it... so... so... so it was like that...”
He seemed to have a very close relationship with Arcadia\'s design & development team staff. Manager Park Jin-tae, who was talking to himself as if he could understand the reactions at the time. Jaeyoung looked at the two of them quietly, relieved inwardly.
‘Fortunately, I don\'t seem to know anything other than the rumors that spread at school...\'
He didn\'t want to get involved in troublesome things. However, managing director Kim Yeong-chan was trying to expect more from Jae-young than now.
“So that\'s why... Now that I know about you, I called because I wanted to make a proposal myself. Do you have any thoughts of wanting to work for my company... no, under me?”
“Under the manager?”
“If you accept, I will hire you as a full-time employee right now, not as an intern. It\'s okay to go to work whenever possible until you graduate from school. I know you haven\'t been to the military yet... but if you want that, I can clean it up without any problems. If you want money, I can take care of it separately so you won’t regret it.”
Promising to give you anything you want, his eyes glowing with deep desire and he whispered sweetly.
“If I take control of this KG Electronics... no, the entire KG Group, you will live a life you will never regret. I promise.”
An offer that no ordinary person would refuse. However, Jaeyoung never belonged to the category of mediocrity.
“Hmm... I’m a bit fussy about the military, but honestly, I’m not very interested in anything else. sorry.”
Money was already held at the level of wealth of a country, not an individual.
When it comes to fame, there are already millions of perverted stalkers everywhere and nowhere.
When it comes to power, he has an enormous person behind him who is incomparable to managing director Kim Young-chan in front of him.
It was an offer that had nothing to be tempted by, so Jaeyoung refused with a single knife.
“I\'m just an intern who is faithful to ‘what I\'m told to do\'. Nothing more, nothing less.”
“I see...”
He says that he will only do his part as a short-term intern for three months and leave. However, as if he expected to be rejected, managing director Kim Yeong-chan had a slightly regretful expression, but soon gave up neatly and accepted.
“I’m so sorry. If there were talented people like you, KG Electronics could have grown much more in the future.”
“All the other people besides me were outstanding talents.”
“Heh heh heh. is it....?”
After that, managing director Kim Young-chan didn\'t talk about anything other than idle chatter. On the way out of his office and back to the office, Park Jin-tae and Jae-young ran into unexpected guests.
“Oh hello! Managing Director!”
“.....”
Managing Director Kim Young-jin, who was walking from the other end of the hallway with a frown as if something was very uncomfortable. Manager Park Jin-tae was startled and lowered his head, but he kept his mouth shut and passed them by without saying anything.
“Phew.....”
Since he was standing in the complete opposite line with Executive Director Kim Young-jin, Manager Park Jin-tae felt very uncomfortable just facing him. Fortunately, nothing happened and he tried to go back to the office with a sigh of relief at the behavior of the managing director.
But...
“Ah. wait for a sec.”
Executive Director Kim Young-jin suddenly grabs the two from behind. And he looked at Manager Park Jin-tae with cold eyes and asked.
“I wondered who it was, but it turned out to be someone from the Virtual Reality Division.”
“Ah... yes. My name is Park Jin-tae.”
“okay. I think I heard that the project has been put on hold due to something bad recently... Is this okay?”
“No, well... so much...”
The enemy said that they met on a single wooden bridge, and as if they had met well, he glanced up and down here and there, looked at his liver, and asked a few questions. And he spoke with a fishy smile to Manager Park Jin-tae, who was sweating hard and struggling to get over it.
“My advice would be not to put so much effort into something that will fail. Instead of devoting yourself to the company, you have to pay more attention to your family and work while doing some hobbies, otherwise you will collapse quickly.”
An unconventional executive who gives realistic advice to do the right thing in the company. In addition to that, Executive Director Kim Young-jin, who was giving advice and mocking the incompetence of him and Managing Director Kim Young-chan to the level of humiliation, was elated as if he was sure of his victory.
“The most important thing is that if you know that the string you are holding is rotten, you need the courage to let it go. Otherwise, in the end, you will have no choice but to fall.”
“Ah... yes. I will listen.”
“If you plan to change lines later, please contact me separately.”
Executive Director Kim Young-jin, who repeatedly threatened and appeased manager Park Jin-tae, who behaved with a smile even in a situation where he was cursing himself. He suddenly looked at a young employee who was watching this conversation with a strange look and asked.
“Who is that friend?”
“ah. This is a college student intern who joined our department.”
“Ah... was it an intern?”
Managing Director Kim Young-jin nodded as if he finally understood his youthful appearance. However, he soon widened his eyes and felt a strange displeasure at the arrogant attitude of the intern who was facing him directly without bowing his head.
‘On the subject of internship... Why are you so confident?\'
He didn\'t do anything wrong, but his expression, eyes, and confident energy radiating from his body seemed so baseless to him. That\'s why Kim Young-jin, executive director, opened his mouth by changing his target to a college student intern while demonstrating his kkondae skills.
“By the way... why do you look so stiff? Don\'t you even know how to say hello?”
