Episode 224: The Man in the High Castle (3)

[Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education Conference Chairman]

“Therefore, there is a high possibility of stumbling over the pursuit of corporate profits, so we need to prepare for it.”

“How will you respond?”

“First, it would be better to defend the attack with the data on their illegal activities that we have put together, and then convince them with a story about future government policies.”

As I spoke, the working staff around me took notes and started talking to each other.

I looked at them and opened my mouth slowly.

“Okay, then, please read each one carefully and share any new ideas right away.”

“Yeah, I see.”

That's when the preparations for today's meeting were almost finished.

“Good job, CEO Kim. However… I think I've seen that employee a lot somewhere, but isn't CEO Kim a student at the academy?"

Yoo Deok-hyun approached me and pointed to one side of the conference room with a smile on his face.

I looked at the place Yoo Deok-hyun was pointing.

Then, among the staff setting up the conference room, a person running around the conference room. An impressive ponytail and a pure white face… Yuna Kim's figure caught my eye.

It seems that the last time he came to our academy, he saw Yuna idling in the office.

I looked at Yoo Deok-hyun and nodded his head.

"Yes, that's right. He’s the one who entered school this year.”

“This year? Heh heh, how do you work at Cheonggye... ?”

"that is… .”

In fact, it was not so long ago that I knew that Yuna Kim was in the Office of Education.

When I was taking a break from yesterday's meeting.

'Please eat!'

Someone offered coffee in front of me.

Well, there are quite a few people who usually recommend coffee, so I accepted the coffee without any doubt.

'Oh, thank you.'

However?

'Oh, it's a compliment. Ugh, something tickles me.’

There was something strange about the reaction.

Noticing a strange feeling, I checked the face of the person who served me coffee.

And in that moment, I couldn't help but be surprised.

The person who served me coffee was... It was because it was Kim Yuna wearing a stylish suit.

‘What are you doing here?’

When I asked, in bewilderment, she said to me with a natural expression on her face.

'Yes? Hehe, are you working part-time?’

'Alba?'

'Yep! That's because a senior at school has a decent part-time job... Coincidentally, I was the only one with the right time!’

It was unexpected.

She already knew that her father ran a fairly large trading company.

‘What don’t your parents say?’

'Yes? nope Rather, I said that I had a teacher, so you liked it, right? I had to try this kind of experience when I was in first year... .'

‘Hmm… .'

'Ah, it's an experience! It's an experience! An experience to prepare for when I became a teacher later! It’s okay because it’s only been a week or so!’

Recalling the conversation with Yuna Kim, I slowly opened my mouth towards Yoo Deok-hyun.“I guess that’s because people are changing a lot this time, and there’s a shortage of manpower. So, I hired some part-time students, and it seems like they applied at that time.”

Then, Deok-Hyun Yoo nodded his head as if he understood.

“Ah, for some reason, I saw a lot of young people these days.”

"Yes. There is still some time left until the recruitment period. He's probably been around for a week, so he seems to think he'll be okay."

Then he gently lifted his head and looked at the staff who were setting up the conference room.

Then, she caught the sight of Yuna Kim running around with a smile on her lips like a puppy released in a flower garden.

Yoo Deok-hyun, who saw that, put a happy smile on his lips and said to me.

“You seem to be close friends.”

"Yes?"

“No, looking at CEO Kim’s expression, he seems full of worries about that girl.”

“Am I?”

"Yes."

I was a little taken aback by his sudden remark.

Of course, I was a little worried at first.

The school district is an administrative organization. Especially since it is a space that handles the conservative and famous education administration, if you make a mistake, you may end up being bullied all day.

‘Even the employees make mistakes and get scolded.’

But I soon found out that my worries were only in the air.

He made a mistake, and far from hurting people... .

"Oh! Injector! That’s me!”

“No, Yuna. This is heavy... .”

"it's okay! Ugh, hehe, it's not that heavy. So where are we going to put this?”

“Who has a hand?”

"Me! What can I help you with?”

"uh? Yuna-san, weren’t I doing the work that Kim OO entrusted to me earlier?”

“Hey, I’ve already finished it. What can I do for you?"

“Mr. Did Yuna arrange this by any chance?”

"hot? Yes! I took care of it, but if there's a problem... ?”

“No, not because I did it so well… .”

I quickly and surely melted into the organization of the Office of Education so that I was like, ‘Is this really the person I know?’

No, he made the atmosphere in the district office of education his own.

How much was that... .

“Heh heh, just looking at Yuna gives me strength, right? Why don’t you, Yuna, come to the Office of Education after taking the exam?”

“Ah, sergeant. Do you know where Yuna's school is? It's Seoyul University's national education department. I have to finish the school year early and prepare for the appointment.”

“Hey, it’s a pity, so it’s a pity. Don't do it, if you have an idea, tell me. I will definitely help you!”

Public officials, who are synonymous with peace and security and immobility of welfare, came forward to the extent of not being able to take care of Yuna Kim.

‘No, were these people such kind people?’

As someone who only knew Yuna Kim as a student, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The person I know is Yuna Kim… She is a small middle school girl. It was because she was a blatantly bright child.

'Something feels strange.'

However… Listening to Yoo Deok-hyun's story, it seemed that I had a worried expression on my face without even realizing it.

I nodded my head and opened my mouth.

“It’s probably because I’m the first disciple in charge. I guess I can't help but be worried."

“Heh heh, that’s probably it. Because there is no one who is more admired than the first disciple.”

Then he looked at Yuna Kim with dim eyes.

Perhaps he also remembered the disciples he had taught before.

But even for a moment, Yoo Deok-hyun, who got out of the recollection, looked at me.

“I’m worried by the way.”

"which?"

“Will a lot of people participate today? It is probably not a burdensome position for them.”

I nodded.

Not long ago, when removing cancer cells inside the office of education, it was unexpectedly confirmed that many hagwons had created cells inside the office of education.

[Education Policy Bureau Level 4 Secretary Lee OO: K Edu, M Study, J Academy… ]

[Education Administration Bureau Level 5 Officer Kim OO: M-tooth, Z-short, W English… ]

[Planning and Coordination Office Level 6 Supervisor Choi OO: K Edu, W English, J Academy… ]

.

.

In fact, among the 56,83 private academies (as of 2013) in Korea (moisturization, entrance exam, foreign language, and public examination), the percentage of dinosaurs earning more than 10 billion won was 0.5%.

This happened because the market in Seoul is large and wide enough that most of the academies are located in Seoul except for academies in some provinces.

‘Because they wanted to protect their hegemony anyway.’

Anyway, I didn't like the action.

Their actions were clearly illegal, binding people through money and pursuing personal gain through them.

‘It sucks the blood and sweat of most students, parents, and general academies.’

However, he could not use that as an excuse to attack them.

Searching for cancer cells in the education office like now. What if another large-scale incident occurred in a state that shocked the citizens inside and outside the education office... .

[No, if you destroy all the academies, who will teach the kids!]

[right! What should our kids do in college?]

[Is it enough to cover it up and commit it!]

This is because you may be hit by a huge aftermath.

‘In order to correct the abnormal expansion of private education, it is necessary to restore public education… It’s a difficult situation right now.’

Of course, they couldn't be left alone.

It did not ignore the effect of private tutoring on student achievement, but… .

However, I couldn't tolerate the nonsensical things that happened under the guise of sexual enhancement.

[Infant English school fee 1.03 million won, private kindergarten fee 4.7 times, college tuition 1.8 times]

[Secondary 1st preparatory class, finishing high school 3rd English in elementary school! 150 million won!]

[Instructor at prestigious OO academy for entrance examination, habitual beating of freshmen ‘It was for the sake of grades’]

[The head of an academy in his 30s who threatened and had sex with a middle school student attending the academy]

[Noryangjin Star Instructor's Suspicion of Repeated Assault on Female Assistant, the Truth?]

Therefore, I thought that I should call the heads of private education in Seoul and watch ‘Shobu’ with them.

At least, things that can't be understood with common sense. If it is possible to refrain from stimulating the sense of absurdity and excessive competitive spirit, which takes place with the indulgence of sexual supremacy,

The forces that instigate such fear. If only the advance guards who normalize the abnormal could be sanctioned with certainty.

Keep the stream clear for a while by making the stream cloudy and cracking down on the loaches that pursue their own interests.

It was because it was decided that the education normalization policy could be carried out.

However…

“Hmm… .”

The subject of today's meeting, Yoo Deok-hyun, seemed a little worried about today's meeting.

He really did it.Even if the academy did not participate in today's meeting, there was no way to directly impose sanctions.

‘Of course, indirect sanctions are possible.’

But his worries were only in vain.

Because I had already received confirmation from all the academies I contacted that I would attend today's meeting.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Because I have already confirmed that I will attend.”

"okay?"

"Yes. I got a call saying that I would attend all of them, so the superintendent will only have to care about controlling them.”

“Heh heh, that’s good, but… But are you really saying that you will attend all of them?”

"That's right."

“Hmm… It’s kind of weird that way.”

Then he rubbed his chin with his hand, thinking about something.

Well, as he said, there was nothing strange about it.

Not long ago, when I sent an invitation to the principals of the academy. They accepted our offer as if waiting.

[Haha, of course I have to attend]

[I will unconditionally attend. Do not worry]

[I was thinking of going without contacting you]

Considering that today's meeting is a place that puts the brakes on the reckless expansion of academies, it was a slightly unexpected reaction.

‘Because there is no fox who runs after a tiger.’

However, it was impossible to cancel the meeting now.

Because every day was too precious to cancel the meeting because of minor doubts.

I opened my mouth as I looked at Yoo Deok-hyun, who was in trouble.

“Are you sure they also know that they can’t run away? Even if anything happens, trust me because I am there.”

* * * *

And after a while, the true nature of that anxiety was revealed.

[10:00]

Even though the promised time has come... .

The conference room was empty.

Not a single person who contacted me to attend today did not keep their promise.

“… … .”

The employees contacted each other with bewildered expressions, and the expressions of high-ranking officials, including Yoo Deok-hyun, became blurred.

unexpected situation.

It was something no one expected.

“No, is there anyone who can contact the academy? How did this happen?”

In the end, one of the high-ranking officials, who could not stand it, asked the staff.

Then, one of the staff holding the phone opened his mouth with a trembling expression.

"that is… You should have already arrived.”

"what?"

Moment.

thud-

With a heavy sound, the door to the conference room opened.

And there… .

“Haha I’m sorry. The car is a bit stuck.”

A middle-aged man with a lively smile and dozens of academy directors with a smile full of good intentions appeared.
