Episode 132: Nearest (1)

Shrek-

When the door opens,

The soft sound of the shamisen and the lamps emitting a soft light.

A scene that seemed to come out of a Japanese historical drama unfolded before my eyes.

It seemed to be faithful to the concept of a Japanese restaurant.

So let's take a walk and look around for a moment.

"welcome."

Soon a woman with a graceful smile greeted me.

I bowed her head slightly and walked over to her.

Then she slowly opened her mouth.

“The reservation must be made under the name of Kim Jun-young.”

Then she nodded her head, as if waiting.

“Yes, come this way.”

started guiding me.

I slowly followed her and followed her steps.

Soon after, a long hallway made of wood appeared.

Since one side of the hallway is made entirely of windows, you can see the Japanese garden inside.

Frozen waterfall and swaying scenery.

On the gently piled snow, only the wind occasionally lingered, and I looked at it as if possessed and moved forward.

So while I look out the window.

"Please wait."

The staff stopped as if they had reached their destination. And after begging me for forgiveness.

"Excuse me."

I opened one of the doors in the hallway.

Then the two men in the room got up.

And one of them came up to me.

That person is right there.

“Ah, CEO Kim, are you here? Please sit this way.”

Seo Min-young was the team leader of TK Telecom.

Team leader Seo approached me with a happy expression and suggested a seat to me.

I nodded and entered the room. Then, I met a middle-aged man who had a nice smile on his face.

unfamiliar face. However, I had been told in advance by Seo Min-young that I would come out with my boss.

‘Perhaps that man is Seo Min-young’s boss.’

After I bowed slightly to him, Seo Min-young took a seat.

OK.

“This is Joo-Seok Ki, the head of our content division, and this is Jun-Young Kim, the CEO of Hermit Crab Academy.”

Seo Min-young introduced each other to me and her man.

"nice to see you. My name is Joo-Seok Ki, general manager of TK Telecom’s content division.”

"nice to see you. My name is Junyoung Kim, who is in charge of Hermit Crab Academy.

After greeting each other like that.

“So, shall we eat first?”

Director Kim Joo-seok opened his mouth.

I nodded, looking at the table where the food was set.

after a while.

“How do you like your food?”

Director Kim Joo-seok asked.

I nodded and opened my mouth.

"of course. It’s a meal I’ve been satisfied with for a long time.”

Then, Manager Kim Joo-seok puts a smile on his face.

"That's fortunate. I was worried about what would happen if I didn’t like it.”He even offers me a drink.

“Now, let’s talk about something important, shall we?”

I nodded. Still, I thought the story of the business would come out around this time.

Yesterday, when I got a call from Team Manager Seo Min-young, I understood that TK had decided to accept the proposal I made the other day, but I had to be nervous since the manager came out with me instead of the working-level team leader, Seo.

No matter how much he liked Japanese food, he wouldn't come all the way here to eat it.

‘When you become a manager of a large company, it is easy to make people assholes with a smile.’

So, if he showed any weakness, it was obvious that he would turn alive like a sea bream on the table at the moment of 'Oops'.

I straightened my back, pulling my mind to loosen up.

Then he slowly opened his mouth.

"Yes. That’s right.”

Then the manager looked at me with a smile.

“Actually, I was really surprised when I heard about the CEO from Manager Seo, or no, team leader Seo before. No, to be honest, at first, I thought it was just the spirit of a young person. Well, everyone would think so. Isn't that right, boss?

Team leader Seo, who received the gaze of Manager Ki, nodded his head with an awkward face.

A look on the face that something is wrong with anyone who sees it.

However, Manager Ki only opened his mouth with a deep smile, as if he was satisfied with the answer of team leader Seo Min-young.

"However… hey You exceeded everyone's expectations. No, it would have taken less than two weeks, but how did you take care of all the exams of over 100 people... If there is a way, I really want to learn it. really.

Then he opens his eyes and looks at me.

typical intonation.

I wanted to talk like this because I wanted to say something the hell out of it.

"However… There are still some things that bother me... There is.”

who shrugged.

I thought his appearance was theatrical.

Because of this, I am like a master who matches the rhythm.

“What are you talking about?”

Chuimsae was added at the right time.

OK.

"that is… It took a while for those 100 people to say that they only passed the first test... .”

He spat out words.

“Ah, I do appreciate the achievements. but what As much as we take this matter very seriously, it is also true that we do not want anything to come out later... .”

Apparently, Manager Ki seemed to want to bet on the achievements I had made through 100 public officials.

It was strange. Even when I contacted team leader Seo Min-young yesterday, the answer was definitely positive. And because it was said that the upper level allowed it.

But then.

“But don't worry. I will take responsibility and strike the dagger firmly so that such words do not come out.”

Manager Ki said with a smile.

what?

I glanced at Team Leader Seo Min-young.

Then I saw the figure of team leader Seo Min-young, who sighed lightly.

A younger brother's expression looking at his older brother who is probably thinking about it.

Hmm… Looking at the face of Team Leader Seo, he seemed to know what it was.

It's useless.

subsequent statement of responsibility.

And even trouble with his subordinates.

It seemed that Manager Ki wanted to make the achievements of Team Manager Seo Min-jung his own.

For some reason, he asked me why he questioned me for such an absurd reason.

In fact, if it was a different company, Seo Min-young was about 30 years old now, and he was just having a substitute. However, the current position of team leader Seo is manager. As head of the department, the juniors coming up from below were burdensome.

‘It’s stupid to express it that way.’

At this point, it was a waste that I was nervous with Manager Ki earlier.

I shook my head and opened my mouth.

“Don’t worry. It’s because it’s not at the level of a score that manager Ki is worried about.”

To put it bluntly, the scores of the 100 public officials I taught were acceptable as long as they didn't dance naked at the interview.

The donor then nodded his head with a trembling expression.

“Hmm… Well, then, what should you believe?

even.

“Oh, by the way, are all the instructors ready? I heard that there are many subjects to prepare for, such as the civil service exam.”

Change the subject in an instant and ask me.

Well… It seems like he was trying to catch the number of cases and put on my top coat somehow.

I didn't like it, but for a moment I nodded my head.

In fact, as he said, there are more instructors who can teach major subjects than expected, but for minor subjects, there were fewer people who could listen to the lectures and less people than expected.

However.

‘Less means ‘relatively’ to the end.’

Why go to the military? Just like there are many people who have extraordinary jobs, there were all sorts of special people among the online instructors and aspirants.

In addition, unlike when the hermit crab academy started, these days, as soon as the story that I am preparing for the public announcement spread, inquiries from instructors flooded in.

E.g.

In the case of a streamer named ‘Byeol-i’ who sent a recruitment email before launching Hermit Crab Academy.

'Hello! CEO Kim is the star… Oh no, my name is Hyunsuk Kim!’

It came to me as soon as the 100-person admission issue appeared in the announcement of the hermit crab academy.

And right to me.

‘I want to give a lecture. Representative Kim... .'

and asked to join the hermit crab academy.

As far as I know, it was a bit surprising because I knew Byeol, or Kim Hyun-suk, as a well-known study broadcaster.

Apparently, it was difficult for someone with a position as a streamer to go under someone else and challenge a new market.

Because of that, at first, she was skeptical that she was trying to do something.

However.

‘I am so tired of eating spicy tteokbokki. And I want to give lectures like lectures... And the revenue has gone down a lot... .'

When she heard her story, it seemed plausible.

Existing study programs appealed to viewers with their content and accessibility. After the hermit crab academy came out, its merits would have faded, so the profit would have been much different from before.

Thanks to that, it is more important to choose an instructor than to find one these days.

‘If you think you’ve picked a decent person, you’ve found another decent person.’

So while I was organizing my thoughts on the instructors for a while.

“If you think you are having a hard time, I can recommend you… There are quite a few teachers we have contacted with. How are you?”

Director Ki kept staring at me as if he had not yet given up on his regrets.

"Fine. However, the talented instructors supported me a lot this time.”

I was curious about the instructors who said that TK had hired me, but I immediately turned it down.

The sword I couldn't control, no matter how sharp it was, was an emissary.

Furthermore.

'I don't think it's that sharp a knife.'

However.

“Ah, but the people we cast are really talented people. Please take a look.”

After hearing my words, Manager Ki smiled playfully and spoke to me.

At this point, I was starting to get annoyed.

In fact, he tried to understand and move on as much as possible, as the relationship with the management is important in working with the TK side.

However, the attitude of Director Ki now could not be seen as a partner or as a manager of a large corporation called TK.

It makes you wonder how the hell he got to the position of manager.

'This is the last thing I've heard in ten thousand years.'

I slowly opened my mouth.

“Chief Ki.”

OK.

"Yes. CEO."

Director Ki, who had been spitting out all the time by himself, answered with a slightly stiff expression on his face.

“Honestly, I don’t know what the manager is trying to say right now. Do you want me not to participate in TK's business? If so, tell me right away. I, and Manager Ki, do not have enough time either.”

In an instant, Director Ki's eyes fluttered as he heard my words.

And soon he blushes and breathes.As you can see, I didn't expect to hear such a word.

His face was stained with embarrassment and anger.

Seriously, where did the head of a large corporation hear such a thing?

You've only seen people crouching all this time.

However.

“Hmmmm… Oh, how could we possibly do that? I'm just saying that I'm a little worried. Well, it looks like everything is fine, so I think we can proceed with the business as planned.

Currently, the business between me and TK is the reason why TK has contacted me first.

Although he is the head of the content division, it was difficult to overturn the business now that the approval had already been raised.

So, his words just before were nothing more than a de facto GG declaration.

just as expected.

“Then I think it would be better to share the detailed story with team leader Seo, who is a working person. Chief Seo! Then, take good care of the representative! I'll go in first."

After finishing his speech, Manager Ki ran out as if running away.

I opened my mouth as I looked at the back of Director Ki who was leaving.

“You must be in a lot of trouble.”

“… no. Fine. Now, let's talk about the terms of the contract in earnest. first… .”

The contract terms suggested by TK were quite good.

The money for marketing and broadcasting management is entirely borne by TK. It was a contract condition that showed TK's intention to fully support it, with the main goal of paying salaries relative to the ratings to the Hermit Crab Academy.

So when the rough tuning is over.

“Ah, and as I said before, the CEO’s launch is expected around January next year, are you okay?”

Team leader Seo Min-young said with a bright face.

He seemed to think that I would nod right away.

However.

I shook my head.

"no. Next year is too late.”

Then Seo Min-young opened her mouth with a serious expression.

"Yes? As I said before, wouldn't the launch next year be the most realistic? Not only our company, but also the hermit crab academy will have a lot of work to prepare... .”

I nodded. Originally, it was correct to follow Min-young Seo’s words and proceed with the work with ample time.

As the number of instructors increases rapidly, studios where instructors will broadcast must be expanded, and basic training for instructors is also required.

But.

"Gorgias' Knot"

Since I had set a goal, I wanted to move towards it as quickly as possible.

In addition, the SAT is coming soon, so in order to receive proper momentum for the Ingang channel launch, it was good to have the launch date before or after the SAT on November 15th.

Furthermore.

‘Because most public officials also start studying at the end of the year.’

I slowly opened my mouth.

“Because we have no problem. I think it would be better to set the time before or after this year's entrance exam. Is it impossible for TK?”

OK.

"Yes? If it's the SAT, isn't it less than two weeks away? CEO. I'm sorry, but it seems like it would be a bit difficult. Realistically, it takes a month.”

Team leader Seo Min-young shook her head with a determined expression as if it was impossible.

However.

“Then it’s fine. Then, please prepare before it is too late.”

I just enjoyed his words.

"no… CEO? Phew… I'll say it again. So we need at least 4 weeks to launch.”

"Yes. Don't worry, I heard you right. So, was it possible after 4 weeks? Then you can do it then. launching."

Then the manager opened his mouth with a puzzled expression.

"However… Why did you decide to launch it before or after the entrance exam? Perhaps you misunderstood?”

I shook my head.

“It’s an illusion. It doesn't even make sense. only… ”

“… ?”

“This year’s entrance exam is only 4 weeks later.”
