Episode 172: The Wizard of Oz (4)

“I’m sorry, but I will decline.”

The moment I turned down the offer of Manager Cha Hyun-cheol.

"Yes? No, why did the CEO give this great opportunity... ?”

Director Cha Hyun-cheol, of course, and everyone in the conference room looked at me with an expression of incomprehension.

They didn't seem to think at all that I would turn down the offer they had made.

‘Actually, an ordinary person would have accepted this offer without hesitation as soon as he received it.’

But,

“I don’t think I can be locked up for two months.”

Obviously, the advantages of participating in the SAT exam as a reviewer are also quite large, but there were still many more important things to me.

‘I don’t have enough time to prepare for the CSAT, to prepare for the entrance exam, to prepare for the civil service exam in the second half of the year, and to prepare for additional recruitment.’

So, unless I gave up all my schedules during those two months, I couldn't become a member of the CSAT review committee.

OK.

“… How about thinking about it again? As the CEO said, two months is a long time, but... As the CEO knows, you are well aware that an opportunity like this is rare.”

Manager Cha Hyun-cheol said to me in a slightly subdued voice.

I nodded.

As he said, it was a rare opportunity, so I didn't want to give up so easily.

Because I

“Can I make a counter proposal instead?”

I threw the third option at Manager Cha Hyun-cheol.

“… First of all, what kind of proposal are you talking about? ?”

Manager Cha Hyeon-cheol received my words with a trembling expression on his face.

I guess I never thought I'd say something like this.

‘Because I wouldn’t have thought that I would get an offer from the sub-subject.’

I slowly opened my mouth to the people who looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“I will recommend people who are suitable for the SAT review committee position, so why not meet them once?”

Moment.

"Yes? no what... .”

“Heh heh... .”

“Such nonsense… .”

"CEO. I'm sorry, but I'll pretend I didn't hear that offer."

Of course, the people who were quietly listening to the conversation between me and Director Cha Hyun-cheol. Even the manager, who had persuaded me earnestly until this point, had a negative reaction to me.

It seems that what I said touched their self-esteem.

However, this kind of reaction was quite what I expected.

It's just that the evaluators have a high nose, because it wasn't yesterday or today.

“I turned down the evaluator’s offer, so shouldn’t I be looking for other people?”

when i ask

“… Yes. It must be so. It has been decided once.”

Manager Cha Hyeon-cheol received my words with a dissatisfied expression.

Again, as I expected, the proposal from the Evaluator was not limited to just me.

Then the story became easier.

“Then let’s meet the people I introduce. You probably won't regret it."

However.

“… Fine. Our organization is not weak enough to get help from other people for that kind of work.”

Even with my repeated suggestions, Manager Cha Hyun-cheol did not seem to have any intention of breaking his stubbornness.Seeing his confident expression on his face, he seemed to be saying that even with the power of the evaluator, they could invite the talent they wanted.

Well, if it was a normal year, their confidence wouldn't be strange at all... … .

"well. How about thinking about it again?”

Now, the situation was very different back then.

because.

‘Because I raked up almost all of the useful ones.’

Daechi-dong, the number 1 private education district in Korea. The value of that name was never taken lightly.

Because it was the place where only the best among the instructors of private academies in Paldo across the country could set foot there.

So, if the evaluation agency said they were looking for people, it was highly likely that they would look at the instructors in Daechi-dong first.

‘As long as there is Daechi-dong, it won’t be noticed anywhere else.’

However, due to the last Daema Academy incident, all the instructors who wanted to make a name for themselves were attracted to the hermit crab academy.

In order for the evaluation agency to find the talent it wanted, it inevitably had to go through the name hermit crab.

Of course, as the world is wide and there are many instructors, there are definitely first-class instructors who are not affiliated with our academy.

‘Those people must be in a similar situation to me.’

Besides.

“And anyway, wouldn’t it be better if fewer people knew about these things?”

As it has not yet been announced internally and externally of the policy of injecting private education personnel into the CSAT exam. From the point of view of the evaluator, it was good that there were few people who knew this fact.

‘It’s not going to be something that can be heard in the neighborhood.’

OK.

“Hmm… .”

A glimmer of conflict appeared on the face of General Manager Cha Hyeon-cheol, who had been making an undesirable expression until recently.

After listening to my words, it seemed that he remembered information about the hermit crab academy, though belatedly.

“… … .”

However, despite this, Director Cha Hyun-cheol's mouth did not open easily.

‘Hmm… .'

Apparently, the self-care mindset unique to the iron rice bowl had sprouted in the head of the manager.

No matter how much change is pursued, the evaluation agency is also a company that is named 'Gong'.

It was a little better than the public officials who were the epitome of welfare immobility, but it was because they were the ones who hated adventures.

‘It might be a little difficult, right?’

At this point, it was surprising that the evaluation agency thought of hiring academy instructors.

However?

"Unfortunately. The representative seems to have no choice... .”

The moment when a negative answer was about to come out of Manager Cha Hyun-cheol's mouth.

shudder-

Suddenly the conference room door opened.

'Huh? Who is it?'

A man with an unfamiliar face entered the conference room without hesitation.

OK.

“Huh!”

"this… this!"

"Five… Are you here!”

People who had been looking at me with undesirable expressions until recently started to panic, saying that they are making a seat.

'what?'

I looked at him with puzzled eyes. It was because the people who had a solemn expression until just before were showing their frenzy like children who suddenly met their first love.

‘Is it possible to become a director?’

However.

‘It can’t be.’

I soon had to stop thinking about it. Because the face of the man who entered the conference room was a face that looked only my age no matter how high I hit him.

However?

The man who entered the conference room glanced around him and then suddenly walked towards me.

"nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot from CEO Junyoung Kim.”

Then he handed me a business card while asking for a handshake.

even right away.

“I heard a little outside and he made a pretty interesting proposal. I think I can accept it, but what do you guys think?”

While looking at the evaluation staff, I used the ‘Reply’ skill.

Moment.

The expressions of the evaluators changed like puppies.

.

.

a few days later.

[…] Thank you very much sir... Will you be participating in the SAT exam? I still really can't believe it... .]

“It’s thanks to Hana Kang, who has been good to me. It is all thanks to the teacher.”

[No, no. It's all thanks to the manager. If it hadn't been for the headmaster, I'd have been rotting my head off teaching the kids at the local academy, but really... Ah yes. It'll be over soon... Yes, I'm sorry, Director, but the people at the evaluation agency told me to turn off the phone quickly... ]

"Oh, I see. Yes, teacher. Then, take good care of your health as well. See you in two months. At that time, would you need to extend the exclusive contract? haha. About two years?”

[Yes. I understand, sir. Not 2 years, but 20 years. Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty!!!]

drip-

The moment I finished the phone call with Hana Kang, who entered the SAT review committee.

“Teacher, what are you saying? Did she say well?”

“Where are you going?”

“Are you going to the evaluator?”

I saw people all around me, looking at me with curious eyes.

Everyone seemed to have a lot of questions about Hana Kang.

However.

“I’m sorry, but I won’t comment.”

I kept my mouth shut as much as I made a 'oath of silence' with the evaluation agency in advance.

This is because, if bad rumors circulated by mistake, the opportunity that was created with great effort could be in vain.

‘Well, in the first place, there aren’t a lot of words I’ve heard so much that I knew and talked about it.’

OK.

"Yes… .”

“Ehh… I can't help it... … .”

"Eww… envy… .”

People were scattered all over the place, full of regret.

I looked at the back of the scattered people and carefully summarized what had happened a few days ago.

a few days ago.

'Unfortunately. The representative seems to have no choice... .'

The moment when a negative answer was about to come out of Manager Cha Hyun-cheol's mouth.

‘I heard a little outside, and he made a pretty interesting proposal. I think it's acceptable, but what do you guys think?'

The situation turned abruptly.

As soon as the man who suddenly appeared in the conference room without any warning gave a positive evaluation of my proposal.'Yes. I was going to do that anyway.’

'Yes. It's the car we just thought would be good... .'

‘Haha, you have eyes to see.’

It was because the evaluators accepted my offer without asking or questioning.

Well, it was an absurd situation for me, who had been stalking Manager Cha Hyun-cheol before that. As a result, things ended in a situation that could not be better than this.

Although I received unintentional help. As I initially expected, I was able to recommend one of the instructors at Hermit Crab Academy as a member of the SAT review committee instead of me.

‘It was a little surprising that Hana Kang was chosen.’

In fact, even when I first recommended the instructors in the academy, I basically thought that people with a lot of experience would be selected.

However.

'My… Me?’

Surprisingly, it was Hana Kang, an instructor with the shortest career in the academy, and five other instructors that were selected by the evaluation board.

It seems that their way of directly communicating with young people through online lectures gave the evaluator an image of a new wind.

'Experience is important, but... Perhaps the reason we invited private education personnel this time is because of a new perspective. So, as much as possible, we will set up a task force focused on young people… .'

Well, for me, it would be great if the people who grew up in our academy with Hana had the courage to be a reviewer.

Apparently, it was true that there was a sense of insecurity in the case of a large number of personnel recruited this time.

‘You don’t know what people do… .'

But that doesn't mean I can't put my person on the water without any weapons.

‘Mr. Kang Hana, this is special training starting today.’

Through the future SAT problems in the USB, I put a sharp weapon in Hana Kang's mind.

So did the rest.

‘Because I’m working as a reviewer, I think I’ll have to develop an eye to filter out problems of extreme difficulty.’

That's when I was thinking about a job at the evaluation agency for a while.

Follow-up- Follow-up-

The phone on the desk started to ring.

Check the number that pops up on the phone screen with a swipe.

[010-8875-XXXX]

The first phone number I saw caught my eye.

'Who is it?'

The moment you press the call button with a little bit of doubt behind you.

[Ah, now you got it.]

An unfamiliar voice pierced my ears.

However?

[This is CEO Kim.]

this person. He orders him to find out his true identity.

“Excuse me, but who are you?”

A little embarrassed, I asked in a puzzled voice.

[CEO Kim. This is disappointing. don't you know me Didn't we meet briefly at the evaluation center last time?]

A voice sounded a little sad.

I thought carefully.

Assessor, youthful voice, aggressive attitude.

Ah… Then I thought I knew who it was.

Because there was only one person who had it all.

This person's name is

[Special Auditor, Dok Go-gyeong, Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation]

He was a grim reaper specially appointed by the government.
