chapter 97
97 – 97. Pool Party (1)
“Did you get some sleep?”
“Ha… When I got home, I couldn’t sleep. “What about you?”
“I woke up at the time I usually wake up, right?”
“Me too. “Director.”
Dongsu and Geunwoo answered side by side.
But it’s the weekend, why do you wake up at that time?
Aren’t you living too honestly?
I let out a sigh and said.
“I worked hard during the weekdays, so isn’t it the rule to sleep in on the weekends?”
“Not at all? “Isn’t it important to sharpen the iron in the morning?”
“I think so too. “Director.”
…These bastards.
I really had no idea.
When we were drinking together at the club, I thought they were guys who had invested a lot of their lives in having fun, but it turned out that they were investing their lives in making metal.
Actually, the scariest thing right now is.
Since we started going to the gym together, he has been openly saying that hard work is his entire life.
They seem like the kind of guys who would ask you to go to the gym if you said they were bored.
I’m afraid…
“Well, let’s say so. Anyway, I’m sorry for calling you out this morning. Thanks to you, things have been resolved well, and I will definitely repay this debt.”
…Huh?
Suddenly, the inside of the car was filled with crazy silence.
What is it?
Did I make a mistake?
Huh?
I am preparing to say, “Pay that debt with iron.”
“Director Seo.”
My sister-in-law, who was in the passenger seat, slightly turned his head and continued speaking.
“I’m scared now.”
What?
I am not a villain, nor am I the usual comment made by villains, ‘I will definitely repay this debt,’ so what’s scary?
“What are you talking about? “Don’t turn around and say it right away.”
“You’re sorry.”
..Huh?
What does this mean?
I shook my head and wondered.
“Why is that?”
“Why are you feeling sorry for us?”
“Why? Today is a nice weekend. “I’m sorry for calling you on the weekend morning. What’s wrong with that?”
I asked Dongsu why he was making such an obvious sound in such a strange way, but Dongsu’s expression was frozen.
What?
When I looked at Geunwoo who was driving, I saw that he was also tense with a hard face.
Why is everyone like this?
I spoke in an easy-going voice.
“Hey. What’s wrong with you guys? “If you’re really sorry for setting the mood like this, why don’t you go to the gym every weekend for special training? Are you trying to say this?”
After being quiet for a moment, my sister-in-law carefully opened her mouth.
“..Can I be honest with you?”
“Why do you keep stopping?”
When I looked at my sister-in-law as if to tell her to speak quickly, she avoided my eyes and said,
“Actually, since we belong to the secretariat, we communicate to some extent with other secretarial staff. That communication is nothing else but the current status of the people you serve and whether there are any difficulties in their work. But if you leave all that aside, if you basically talk about things like tone of voice and behavior, there is no one who speaks like the general manager.”
“Are you sorry?”
“Yes. In fact, isn’t it natural in a way to call me in the morning and ask me to come out?”
Of course..
Yes.
If you think about it, it may be obvious.
Dong-su and Geun-woo.
To be exact, Assistant Manager Han Dong-soo and Assistant Manager Park Geun-woo.
These kids work in a special department called the secretary’s office.
In other words, you are working far beyond the legally required working hours.
Should I say that he marks me closely?
If someone hears this, they may ask why you are doing such a job, ask if you are crazy, or tell them to quit quickly, but if they see the salary coming in every month, they will all start making a fuss to do this job.
Perhaps that’s why Dong-soo and Geun-woo have been working in the secretary’s office of Seohwa Group, unable to sleep and having a hard time.
But is it only the staff working in the secretary’s office who knows this?
No.
I also know the Seohwa Group conglomerates who are each served in the secretariat.
So, there is no hesitation when asking for work.
Just tell them to do it.
As if it were obvious.
Because I can’t refuse anyway.
Because I have to do it anyway.
This means that if you don’t do it, you will have to resign from the company, so the Seohwa Group conglomerates know this and, as a matter of course, order you to do difficult, embarrassing, and difficult work.
Me?
I have no intention of doing that.
I know how Dong-su and Geun-woo treat me.
Although it has become more comfortable recently while exercising together, I can definitely feel the invisible lines.
Line.
Of course there is.
Especially if you are an employee of a conglomerate like me or a company owned by a conglomerate, there is inevitably a line.
But again, I have no intention of doing that.
Being sorry means being sorry,
Being thankful is being thankful.
That’s it.
Is it because you were not born into a chaebol?
Is it because an ordinary guy became a chaebol?
Anyway, now that I have a shell named Seo Woo-jin, I plan to treat people the way I think.
“Dongsu.”
“Yes. “Director Seo.”
“I don’t want to talk too much.”
I glared at Dong-su.
Was it because my expression changed?
Dongsu’s eyes suddenly stiffen.
I continued speaking in a heavy voice.
“I called you brother when we were alone, and when did I call you director?”
“..Yes?”
“Have you already forgotten? “I told you to call me brother.”
“Ah, ah.. That is-“
“But recently, you keep calling me ‘Director’? “I get angry when that happens.”
“Ah, I understand.”
“If you knew, what would it be?”
“..Brother.”
“Yes. Good job.”
The fellow student turned his head forward again.
Geunwoo’s stiff shoulders slowly relaxed.
I didn’t really want to explain.
I just said that I wanted to be an older brother to you guys, not a general manager.
Then wouldn’t that explain why he said he was sorry?
Isn’t it?
No.
What is certain is that the crazy silence I felt just now has disappeared.
Hmm.
I definitely like this atmosphere.
Feeling relieved, I asked Geunwoo, who was driving in silence.
“Are you tired? “It seems like you’re the one driving the car every time.”
“Is there any reason to be tired when you go out to play?”
“Pfft. “That’s correct.”
“Ah. And I couldn’t tell you, but the Korean restaurant in Jamsil was really delicious. “Is this a place you go often?”
“No? This is my first time going there too. “Because it’s where my father asked me to go.”
Earlier, when I was eating with my father in Jamsil, Dong-su and Geun-woo ate in different rooms.
Just as I tried to run away, Dong-soo and Geun-woo also tried to run away when they noticed, but should I say that they were caught?
From CEO Seo Tae-han’s point of view, it was said that he was buying a meal to praise(?) His contribution to catching an executive who was lavishing his salary.
The position of the person being praised must also be listened to, but that process was not followed at all.
“Even though we didn’t do anything, they bought us food… but I think the food went down our throats because we ate in another room.”
“Is it difficult for my father? “It’s difficult for me too, so how can you all be in such a difficult situation?”
“This is my first time eating in such close proximity. We said a few words on the way to the Korean restaurant, right? It’s the first time we’ve talked so much. ..But it looks like you stayed for quite a while after the meal was over. Did you have a private conversation?”
“Ira Obuthan… You asked me if I wanted to become a managing director? “What do you guys think?”
“Gasp!”
“Congratulations! Managing Director!”
Geun-woo was just surprised, but Dong-su immediately congratulated him.
Isn’t it surprising? Adaptability.
Then, I should say something to my sister-in-law.
“What is a celebration? “I rejected it right away.”
“Yes?”
“Huh? “Why did you do that?”
This time, both responded at the same time.
“Why. “What would I do if I became a managing director now?”
“What are you doing! “It’s so cool!”
Ah.
Ganji.
Yes. That’s important.
That’s not it!
“What is Kanji! You guys in the secretary’s office don’t know my situation? There is a managing director, Seo Woo-seong, so let me appoint a managing director. Then will my brother leave me alone? “They’re still keeping me in check.”
“Ah..”
“And it means nothing to me even if I become a managing director. It’s not like I achieved anything great. Recently, various things happened and I received recognition from my grandfather and father, but what about other people? No one knows those details. Then, in the end, he is the grandson of Chairman Seo Chang-soo, and he is the son of President Seo Tae-han, so he becomes the managing director. The story will flow like this. Then, even if you hold the position of managing director, you will still be criticized.”
“Well.. It doesn’t matter, right? “The stories other people are telling.”
“That’s true, but my brother’s check, which I mentioned earlier, can make me more tired than that.”
That is a complete specification.
I am a person who wants to enjoy a happy chaebol life, but I don’t want to be put in a situation where I don’t know what dangerous things might happen if I become managing director for no reason.
And now, I am fully satisfied as the head of the division.
There is nothing in particular.
Where is this great place?
So, I don’t want to create any trouble.
Before I left home, I sent an email to the employee at the Mexico branch. I’m creating work because it’s directly related to me, and I don’t want to create work outside of that.
But wait.
Time?
“Dongsu, we’re not late, right?”
“Not at all?”
Looking at the clock, I don’t think it’s a situation where I can say no at all.
As if he had read my thoughts, my companion turned his head back and said.
“It’s no fun if you go fast anyway. “It will be fun to go after you’re excited.”
Is that so?
This is my first time going there myself, so it would be better to just listen to what Dongsu says, right?
hehehe.
Just wait.
About the Sky! I’m coming!
