Episode 131 (3)

"manager!"

Seo Min-young, the team leader of TK Telecom's content division, lifted his head at the sudden call.

Then he saw a man looking at him with a worried expression.

Her name is Kang Ye-ri.

She was one of the employees of the content division where he was located.

"Why?"

When he comes to his senses, he asks

“No, dinner came out, but he didn’t say anything… .”

Kang Ye-ri scratched her cheek and answered.

Seo Min-young looked around with an 'Oops' expression.

OK.

Cheonggukjang is steaming curiously.

And the faces of the team members who were looking at him with awkward expressions caught my eye.

It seemed as if her teammates were waiting for her while she was thinking of something else.

He lowered his head and opened his mouth as if sorry to the staff.

“Oh, sorry about this. I was thinking of something else. Everyone, come eat.”

Only then did the staff pick up spoons and start eating.

after a while.

“Chief Seo, is there something wrong with you? I guess you can't eat a whole lot these days? Perhaps… Isn't it because of Kim Jun-young's job last time?"

Kang Ye-ri asked in a soft voice.

OK.

“It’s not like that. I just have a lot to think about these days.”

Seo Min-young shook her head and said.

In fact, it was true that she had concerns, but she had no intention of bringing it out in front of her teammates.

Joon-Young Kim.

A name floating around in his mind.

The person who provided the idea for his project.

In fact, Kim Jun-young is the first.

‘You decided to entrust the university entrance exam to me, so leave it to the public announcement as well.’

Even when he brought up the word, he thought that Kim Jun-young was being overzealous.

However.

‘I’ll see you in two weeks.’

She couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation every time she remembered his last confident words.

According to his investigation, Kim Jun-young was a really mysterious person.

He was nothing until just two years ago.

However, in just two years, it was Kim Jun-young who took the name of the head of a large academy with 500 people, the CEO of a large Ingang company, and Yotube's strategic partner.

So, in my head, I was thinking that he wouldn't be able to bring the company acceptable results in two weeks, but... … .

‘… You never know.’

A little bit of anticipation could not be ignored.

If that happens, the hermit crab academy's awareness will increase, and naturally, the awareness of the lecture channel to be launched by TK will also increase.

'Personally, I'm curious.'

But now, the two weeks that Jun-young had promised had almost passed. It seemed that it was impossible to achieve results in the public market in two weeks, as he first thought.

But then.

"uh? Ah! manager!"

Kang Ye-ri's voice was heard.

“Why again?”

“No, boss, look at this.”

Kang Yeri pushed her phone.

Seo Min-young frowned slightly and looked at her phone.

And that moment.

"her… .”

A low voice came out of Seo Min-young's mouth.

right in front of him.

[Hermit crab academy, 100 civil servants, passed the written test for additional recruitment in the second half of 2019!]

It was the main article of the hermit crab academy channel he had been waiting for.

* * *

[A new strength in Internet lectures! Company S's terrifying run!]

The results of the Internet lecture company S, which was first introduced this year through a strategic partnership with Yotube, are unusual.

As of November, Company S's market share was 49%. Compared to its competitors, Company M 24%, Company J 12%, and Company T 8%, the gap is wide.

Not only the market share but also the class satisfaction of students showed similar or rather higher values ​​compared to other companies' online lectures.

.

.

Meanwhile, according to S company CEO Kim OO, from next year, not only the entrance exam lectures, but also the civil service exam lectures… In the second half of this year, in the civil service recruitment exam, more than 100 people were... .

..

scroll down

Then, an article from a small and medium-sized newspaper that has a friendly relationship with Yotube caught my eye.

Yotube shows the power of capital and says something... This was hardly an article, but a publicity for the hermit crab academy.

However, thanks to that, the ratio of students was steadily increasing and awareness was increasing, so I was quite satisfied.

Druck-

So I checked the news and opened the lecture.

But at that moment.

thump-

someone grabbed my arm

Let's look at the person holding my arm in a bit of embarrassment.

"Teacher! Thank you very much!"

familiar face. The last two weeks of classmates. Nam Yoon-jae's face appeared.

Even when he first came, he looked like he was about to collapse.

'Teacher… Can I really fly?’

I was a person who asked questions by texting from the company, so I remembered that I occasionally consulted and ate lunch to inspire motivation.

As the second year of public announcement begins, self-confidence and self-esteem drop sharply, and as a result, the efficiency of study also decreases, so mental management is the most important law.

still.

'The morning before sunrise is the coldest and darkest. However, the scenery at dawn is the most beautiful. Let's endure this darkness for that time.'

“The moment you let go of the thoughts that hold you back, the world around you can change. The imagination that we forget in our daily lives can change us as much as we want.’

‘Everyone has wings. just not visible Imagine, think, and aspire to have wings.’

Is it worthwhile to take care of your hands and feet by throwing them in the middle of class?

"really… I really thought it was the last time... thank you. How did you really get all the problems you took... .”

Nam Yoon-jae expressed his gratitude to me with a distorted face as if he was about to burst into tears at any moment.

I nodded his head and patted his shoulder.

I even looked around.

OK.

The faces of people with similar expressions to Nam Yoon-je caught my eye.

They all looked like they couldn't say a word, and they looked like they were about to burst into tears when someone touched them.

I looked at them and slowly opened my mouth.

Probably because today was a place to congratulate those who passed the written exam.

* * *

after a while.

“Well, you’ve all worked hard all this time. However, there is still an interview left, so don't work too hard and prepare well for the interview. Did you know?”

"Yes!"

After finishing the conversation with the students, I went out of the academy for the next schedule.

Since I have a lot of work these days, I met people several times a day and moved a lot.

Thanks to.

'Driving only increases.'

But then.

In the distance, I saw a man sitting on a bench with a blank expression on his face.

The look of giving up on everything.

It was a man wearing a rug and spewing cigarette smoke.

Burnt cigarette butts piled up at his feet.

Looking at him with a face like the wick of a burned candle, it was a little difficult to get close to him.

From the looks of it, it was like someone who failed the exam two days ago.

But the problem is… … .

The point was that he was sitting right in front of my car.

“… … .”

I had no choice but to approach it as quietly as possible.

Then, trying not to provoke him to his own thoughts, he approached the car and slowly put his hand on the car door.

Moment.

widely-

I heard the car door unlock.

“… … .”

“… … .”

My eyes met the man sitting on the bench.

He had a blank expression on his face for a moment. His gaze scans me and my car.

And after a while, complex emotions welled up in his eyes.

“… I envy you.”

very little mumble.

But his voice was clearly audible because the surroundings were strangely quiet.

“… Whoa.”

I sighed and closed the half-open car door.

Then slowly approached him.

I couldn't help it if I hadn't seen it, but seeing it up close like this, I couldn't pass it by.

Then he looked at me with a slightly surprised expression.

His eyes fluttered with a bit of embarrassment and anxiety.

Tub Tuk Tuk-

I approached him, pulled out a business card and handed it to him. Then, I slowly opened my mouth to the man who was looking at me with a blank expression.

“You seem to be preparing for the exam… is not it?"

OK.

“… Right?”

After thinking for a while, he answered with a suspicious look.

I opened my mouth to him as friendly as possible.

“Ah, I’m Junyoung Kim, who is the head of Hermit Crab Academy… .”

But before I even finished talking.

“… I know who you are, so there is no need to explain it in detail.”

He cut me off in a hard tone.

I glanced at his expression, and it seemed like he knew my face.

Well, last year and this year, I went to Noryangjin quite a lot, and when I launched the hermit crab academy, I reflected my face a lot in advertisements.

I nodded and opened my mouth.

“I am planning to run a public examination class this time, but I was wondering if you would like to study together.”

Then he looked at me, wriggling his eyebrows, as if a little startled.

Then I looked down for a moment and started thinking about something.

A lot of emotions flashed across his face in an instant. I thought he would accept my offer. Because it will be a unique opportunity for him.

but after a while.

“… Don’t do that anymore.”

The answer that came out of his mouth was something I didn't expect.

After a moment of bewilderment, he stood up. Then I crumpled my business card and threw it on the floor.

unexpected situation.

“What are you doing?”

Unbeknownst to me, a sharp voice came out.

OK.

“Hey, you. Wearing expensive clothes and driving expensive cars, people look funny. Don't be mistaken. People like you are not teachers. just… They are just problem-solving machines or parasites that they create.”

He said to me with a hostile look.

And before I could say anything, I turned around and disappeared into the alley of Noryangjin.

“… … .”

I stared blankly at the alley where he disappeared.

It felt like being hit in the back with a hammer.

* * *

‘… Parasites.’

The words I heard earlier in Noryangjin kept running through my mind.

The aftermath lasted quite a while since I heard the unexpected from a place I never expected.

But then.

"Teacher."

Someone's voice was heard.

Let's look around a little surprised.

“I have something to ask you to pay.”

Eunsol was looking at me.

I shook my head slightly to erase the look of embarrassment.

Then he reached out to Eunsol.

"Yes… Give it to me.”

Then Eunsol held out the file folder to me.

So while I was paying the documents for a while.

"Teacher… Do you have any concerns?”

Eunsol asked me in a cautious tone.

Let her raise her head for a moment and look at her. I could see her eyes full of worry about me.

"Yes? haha. No, what are you worried about... I just have something to worry about.”

As I smiled, she sat down in front of me and slowly opened her mouth.

“Would it be okay if I could hear what was going on?”

I started to worry.

Well… Others would have just laughed and passed it on... If it was Eunsol, she thought it would be okay to say anything.

She was probably a mature person for her age, and she had been together for a long time.

Having made a decision, I slowly opened my mouth.

"in fact… .”

After a while.

“… That's what happened. You must have been in shock.”

Eunsol looked at me with her worried expression.

“Haha, it’s okay. After a while, I can't even remember that person's face."

Of course, the shards of the horses that were pierced like a dagger have not disappeared.

Still, I felt a little better after talking to someone else.A while ago, the word ‘parasite’ did not leave my head, but now it feels like a very distant word.

“But did he really say that? Are we parasites?”

Eunsol was thinking of something.

I nodded my head softly.

“… Yes… But when I came back to the academy, thinking about it, I couldn’t deny that.”

In fact, there were few people who did not think like that at least once, even for those who work at hagwons.

It was because the instructor's job is a job that cannot be freed from test scores, so students can be engrossed in their grades rather than the education itself.

of course.

‘There were a lot of people who didn’t.’

But then.

"Teacher… Can I just say a word?”

Eunsol listened to me and asked me in a cautious tone.

"Yes. You are free to tell me.”

I nod my head and say

She looked straight into my eyes and slowly opened her mouth.

"Teacher… It's not the teacher's fault."

Then he spoke with a serious expression on his face.

“Of course it is wrong. But that’s not the teacher, it’s the education system in this country itself.”

I actually knew

It is because the education system in Korea is so old that it is impossible to know when, where, who, or how it started wrong.

So, if anyone deserves to be blamed, it was the society that created this system, and us as members of that society.

I nodded.

Because I think I now know what she was trying to say.

However?

"Well… But come to think of it, is it really hot? no! Where do you find such a cowardly word? A person who studied because he wanted to enter the system even said that to his lecturer? ha ha! If I were in front of him, I would have put a slap on him!”

Suddenly, Eunsol started talking in an excited tone.

I looked at Eunsol with a surprised expression.

Because it was completely different from Eunsol's usual appearance.

Eunsol, who had been so angry for a moment, looked at me with a slightly red face.

even slowly.

“So, sir, please don’t be as despondent as you are now. The teacher… Previous… Oh no... The usual look suits you best. Did you know?”

looked at me and said

I smiled and looked at her.

It seems that she deliberately pretended to be angry to ease my mind.

"thank you. Teacher Eunsol.”

let me say

"Oh… that… After all, I have to deal with… Let's just get up."

She smiled shyly and got up from her seat.

The place where Eunsol left.

I slowly gathered my thoughts.

‘The system… .'

In fact, it was a topic I hadn't thought of before.

No, rather than not thinking about it.

‘I thought it was a story from a distant world,’

But now.

'It's not a far-fetched story.'

Then, a different longing began to sprout in my heart.

‘If the system is a problem… Can I change it?’

A huge longing that I could never even dream of.

It felt like it was filling my lungs.

But there was an immediate problem.

That's right.

‘How then?’

There was no way to think of it. The USB, which has supported my success so far, did not have an answer to that.

But then.

Follow-Long- Follow-Long-

The bell rang.

Let's check the phone.

[Team Manager Seo Min-young of TK Telecom Contents Division]

The name of a person I had seen two weeks ago was floating.

In an instant, several thoughts ran through my mind.

okay. There was only one way to untie Gorgias' knot.

That's right.

'overwhelming power.'

That's the only way to develop that overwhelming power.

It was just [extension].
