Episode 182: X-EDU (3)

“Whew… .”

Kim Hyung-ro, who arrived in front of the vice president's office, sighed with a look like a bull being dragged to the slaughterhouse.

It was because if I opened this door now, I might never be able to return to my previous life again.

‘Damn, can we just dive?’

If I had the same heart, I wanted to turn away right now, but… … .

Thinking about the position of the head of K-edu, a wife like a wild boar and children like a fox, an apartment loan that hasn't been paid yet, and retirement funds, I couldn't help but fall.

It was because his body wasn't his, unless he was going to throw everything on his back and go into the mountain.

But nevertheless... As long as he was a human, he couldn't even walk away.

‘Oh, I really don’t want to go in.’

As soon as we entered, it was clear that something was about to fly.

But standing outside the door like this didn't change anything.

If I had to delay any longer, I only ate ten curses that I would have eaten once.

‘Hey, okay, let’s go in. Do I have to kill him?’

Taking hold of his heart, he slowly raised his hand.

Then, very carefully, he knocked on the door of the vice president's office.

smart-

OK.

“Come in.”

A woman's voice with a faint light was heard.

Moment.

gulp-

Dry saliva ran through Kim Hyung-ro's neck. As soon as I heard Choi Jeong-soon's voice, I felt the flames that had been blooming so small were quickly cooling down.

However… It was already a step forward. There was nowhere else to step back from here.

‘If you turn around, you will probably just fall off a cliff a thousand roads.’

Kim Hyung-ro shook his head.

His old age had to be as beautiful and splendid as that of Gwak Jai of the old days. So he could never sit down or turn around like the men he had seen.

Kim Hyung-ro bit his teeth and slowly grabbed his door handle and turned it.

OK.

shudder-

At the same time as a very small noise was heard, the door of the vice president's room opened as if the door of the demon king in the game was opened.

“… … .”

The view he sees as soon as he opens the door and walks in. Walls and floors in monotonous tones. And furniture of practical design.

A dark and empty space came into his eyes, as if he had recreated Qin Shi Huang's Great War.

The only thing that shines in that dark and deep space is... … .

There were only gloomy, pale, distorted figures of Zdzislaw Beksinsk.

‘Damn it, every time I see it, I’m not used to it.’

Sweat was seeping out of the cool room air.

This was because this place was not a place where people could breathe, but a space that gnawed at people, like a throne made of sharp blades.

‘No, how do you live in a place like this?’

But… … .

“Why are you standing like that? sit down please."

The moment he lifted her head and saw Choi Jeong-soon in the middle of the room. I could see how she was living in a room that wasn't like this one.

Her appearance and mood… Because it suits this room so well.

‘I’m a witch, so I live in a room like this.’

Kim Hyung-ro nodded her head slowly so as not to be noticed by Choi Jeong-soon of the witch.

Still, I was glad that Choi Jeong-soon was feeling better than I expected.

Even when she answered the phone earlier... Because I knew there was going to be a mastermind who would kill him in this room.

Kim Hyung-ro sighed a little as if he was lucky and approached the chair slowly.

However?The moment Kim Hyung-ro had just bent down to sit on the chair.

“… What are you doing?”

A hard language pierced his body.

Kim Hyung-ro looked at Choi Jeong-soon with an expression that he could not understand English.

'Cause she'd just told her to sit down with her mouth clear.

"Yes? Just ask me to sit down... .”

“Who told you to sit in the chair? to sit on the floor on your knees.”

In an instant, a tantrum bloomed in Kim Hyung-ro's chest.

‘Still like this, I’m a manager with a reputation, but for a long time I was a young boy… .'

However… Contrary to his mind, his body was subservient.

"Yes… four! sorry!"

He knelt on the spot, just like a dog who lost a fight lay on its stomach.

It was because the superiority and inferiority of power within this company was clearly defined.

Then, Choi Jeong-soon gave her a satisfied smile and nodded her head.

“Okay, what are you going to do now?”

She seemed to ask that she somehow lost the first competition.

Kim Hyung-ro, who had committed a crime, bowed his head and opened his mouth.

"that is… sorry!"

“No, I didn’t sing it because I wanted to hear such useless words. What are you going to do now?”

"I… So… If you just give me one more chance... .”

“If you give me a chance?”

“… We will unconditionally win the 2nd and 2nd competition! I will definitely win no matter what I do, so just one more chance... .”

Kim Hyung-ro said as he banged his head on the marble floor.

Once on his knees, he didn't feel ashamed to bow his head at the feet of a woman who was obviously ten years younger than him.

Because the relationship between human beings and capital was originally such a law.

OK.

Tok tok-

Choi Jeong-soon knocked on her table and looked down at Kim Hyung-ro's back.

She then slowly opened her mouth.

“Chief Kim. How many years have you been working this year?”

It was a voice that was so soft that it had just changed the way it was just before.

Kim Hyung-ro felt goosebumps rising from his fingertips.

'what?'

Because she couldn't keep up with her sudden change.

‘Are you thinking of me?’

Kim Hyeong-ro wiped the sweat from his forehead and opened his mouth.

“This year marks the 21st year.”

Choi Jeong-soon, who heard Kim Hyung-ro's words, nodded her head with a meaningful smile.

"okay? You’ve been here longer than I thought.”

In an instant, an ominous imagination engulfed Kim Hyung-ro's mind.

Failure of the first competition and length of service. As soon as I remembered the relationship between the two... She could understand what Choi Jeong-soon was trying to say.

'me… I want to expand... ?'

She was at once embarrassed, but at the same time happy.

To say that in her face that she wants to tighten herself like this is… Because she said she might give herself another chance.

bang- bang- bang-

Kim Hyung-ro started banging his head on the floor.

Because she knew instinctively that if her master was contemplating whether or not to boil her, she would have to bow down before her master.

"please… Just give me one more chance! This time I am really confident!”

just as expected.

"well. I think he said something like that before, so I have to believe it.”

The owner's voice softened, as if floating around him.

In an instant he realized. that this is the last moment

"this… This time it will be different! I will do it at any cost!”

He began to appeal to Choi Jeong-soon with a voice almost crying.

OK.

“… At any cost?”

The owner's head turned slightly toward him.

He lifted his head and looked into his master's eyes.

Then he nodded his head resolutely.

"Yes. I will definitely win this contract at any cost.”

Hearing that, Jeongsoon Choi opened her mouth with a cold smile.

“Hmm… what's good It is impossible to blindly refuse the request of a person who has suffered for 20 years... Let's try to trust Manager Kim just one more time for the last time."

Hearing her words, Kim Hyung-ro bowed her head.

“Instead, the name ‘hermit crab’ should not stand out from my eyes after today. Actually, a contract is a contract, but I didn't like the fact that the name hermit crab was on K-edu. Besides… .”

After she paused for a moment, she threw her papers on her table to Kim Hyung-ro.

“… The rumors about that academy are not very good.”

Hearing her words, Kim Hyung-ro walked to the place where the papers had fallen with his knees. And he carefully checked the documents.

.

.

In the documents she threw, the hermit crab academy's past actions and its impact were detailed.

Kim Hyung-ro looks up at Choi Jeong-soon with a slightly surprised expression. Choi Jeong-soon opened her mouth with a firm expression on her face.

“As you can see, they are like cancer cells, so you should definitely deal with them this time. If not... Because I don't think I can look after Manager Kim any more. I mean... Do you know what I mean?”

“… radish… of course."

"like. But is there any way?”

When Choi Jeong-soon finished her speech, if she didn't get a proper answer, she looked at Kim Hyung-ro with an expression that she would slap her on the head right now.

Then, Kim Hyung-ro's head began to spin violently.

Because I couldn't let go of my last chance because I couldn't stand still.

‘It’s a way that K-edu can feed hermit crabs while winning the second competition… .'

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds...

As if a few seconds were years, vague thoughts flashed through his mind as he was agonizing over and over again.

and after a while.

"Way… There is."

A young voice came out of Kim Hyung-ro's mouth.

* * * *

soft-

He turns the paper in his hand.

OK.

.

.

The blood, sweat, and tears of the ‘hermit crab task force’ came into my mind.

I smiled and went down slowly through the documents.

‘Second open competitive bidding’

How well does the first open bidding competition match the plan of the academy applied for the project and the direction of the project promoted by the government? Also, if it is an individual test to determine how likely the plan is to be realized, the suitability of the plan and the capabilities of the academy.

The second open competitive bidding could literally be seen as a sword-to-sword battle.Therefore, the real bidding competition had to be seen as starting from the end of the first competition.

No matter how good you get in the first competition, if you write an unreasonably high amount in the second competition. No matter how effective the plan is, it is inevitable that it will fail.

'Oops, if you do, your efforts will be in vain.'

Therefore, these days, most of the day was spent preparing for the second competition.

Because, in the beginning, it was better to have an abundance of preparation than to have a hat.

That's when I was looking at the data related to the second open competitive bidding.

smart-

Someone knocked on the principal's door.

When I turned my head slightly, I saw Inyeong, who was familiar with the opaque glass on the door of the director's room, growing up.

‘Hmm, it’s Arin… Were there any materials left?’

It seemed that the task force team sent another data.

After organizing the documents I was looking at on one side. I opened my mouth slowly.

"Come on in."

Then the door opened and Lee Arin entered the director's room.

However?

"nice to see you. Director Kim Jun-young.”

Lee Arin was not the only one who entered the director's room.

'Who is it?'

I glanced at the man greeting me and tilted her head.

Hmm... I took a closer look to see if it was someone I knew. It was a face I didn't know.

"Who are you?"

when i ask

“Ah, sorry. Unintentionally, I was late. My name is Kim Hyung-ro, who is in charge of the K-edu business planning department.”

The man handed me a business card with a gentle smile.

I checked the business card he handed me.

[Hyeong-ro Kim, Head of Business Planning Department, K-edu, a private institution]

Hmm... I've never heard of K-edu.

Still, I was keeping an eye on the company because it was the highest ranked company after hermit crab in the first round of competition.

‘In terms of sales alone… Were you number one in the industry?’

But there was something I didn't understand.

That's right. I was wondering why the people at K-edu came to me now.

No matter how good you look, the relationship between me and K-Edu was nothing more than a competitor relationship aiming for a huge prey of 1 trillion won.

I looked at him, grabbing the business card he handed me.

“Ah, you are Manager Kim Hyung-ro. Please take a seat.”

Then, I offered him a seat and asked Erin Lee for a car.

after a while.

“How are you?”

I put down the teacup and asked.

Kim Hyung-ro, who was enjoying the fragrant tea incense with his eyes half closed, slowly opened his eyes and opened his mouth.

"really… That's good. I think it’s the best tea I’ve ever had.”

I nodded my head at his answer.

“I am glad that you liked it. It is a tea that came in as a gift this time, called West Lake Dragon.

"Ah… That's right. I've heard rumors about it too... It's my first time drinking it myself... This seems to be a valuable experience for me today.”

Then, he picked up the teacup again and started to savor the remaining tea incense.

The car seemed to fit his taste.

I looked at him and opened his mouth.

“Okay then, now that I’ve finished drinking the tea, can you tell me what’s going on? I have a lot of work these days.”

OK.

“Ah, without even knowing this, I fell in love with the scent of tea. There is no shame in this.”

Kim Hyung-ro put down the teacup. Then he looked at me with gloomy eyes for a moment and then slowly opened his mouth.

“Director, no, CEO Kim Jun-young. Do you have any intention of doing this project with K-Edu?”
