Episode 38.

“Yes, I will do that, sir.”

Lee Jong-suk put down the phone and burst into loud laughter.

“Is something good happening?”

Lim Kyung-jun asked without taking his eyes off the monitor. Lee Jong-suk did not respond and talked about something else.

“Vice President Lim, is this the spirit of new recruits these days?”

“What are you talking about? Didn’t you just get a call from the CEO?”

“That’s right, Representative Kang’s call.”

“But what do you mean by ‘newbie’?”

Lee Jong-suk explained the whole story, occasionally laughing out loud.

“How cheeky.”

This was Im Kyung-jun’s impression that everyone had heard. Lee Jong-suk added.

“Yeah, it feels just like I’ve seen you before, Lim Deputy Director.”

“Why am I here again?”

“Don’t you remember when you first came to Banpo PB Center? When Wang Jae-hoon told you to take out a loan without asking if you were his second or sixth cousin. You got it right then and there.”

“Hey, what am I talking about? That was clearly illegal. And being a goddess wasn’t my job. Are the cases the same?”

Lee Jong-suk answered with a smile.

“I don’t know about that, but anyway, I like this guy.”

“Oh yes, I respect your taste.”

Lee Jong-suk smiled brightly.

The new employee was given nothing more than the task of signing a contract for a firmware banking network with all commercial banks. Normally, he would have to visit each bank one by one. It would be a hassle. If a dedicated network is not available, he would have to negotiate separately with the VAN company, so it would be difficult for a new employee to handle it alone. It wouldn’t be much different even if a leader or senior employee got involved.

The newbie chose a good number.

For Lee Jong-suk, there was one path that was not difficult, even if it was not for other people.

‘Should I give this guy a present?’

I found a phone number. [Park Gwang-ho], a senior at the Financial Supervisory Service. He was recently promoted to executive director.

– Oh my, who is this? Isn’t that my junior Lee Jong-suk who’s doing well these days?

The beep didn’t go off even a few times.

“I hear your voice, so I guess you’re still doing well.”

– Take care. I ate a lot of Korean beef back then. The only person who takes care of my promotion is our junior Lee Jong-seok.

“What do you mean by that?”

– What’s wrong? Why are you calling all of a sudden? Tell me everything. I won’t be able to do what you can’t do, but I’ll do everything I can.

At those words, Lee Jong-suk brought out the words he had been thinking about.

“Didn’t something give you a headache before?”

– What’s going on?

“Is that a bank wallet? They tied up all the commercial banks, but people don’t really use it. But they can’t just close it down. The banks are whining that they don’t even charge fees. Don’t you remember how they said it was a huge headache?”

– Oh, that? Did I tell you about it too?

Park Gwang-ho’s voice changed as he felt something.

– My head still hurts now. Why are you suddenly talking about that?

“Should I save you that headache? I think I might have a good idea. It’ll be good for both you and your brother-in-law.”

Lee Jong-suk took advantage of the gap.

– What is the method? Who is the sister and who is the brother-in-law?

Park Gwang-ho’s voice was quiet as he asked back. It was because he expected that this might be the opportunity to deal with the headache.

The story ended well. Lee Jong-suk got up.

“Are you leaving already?”

“okay.”

“Are you leaving because the newbie told you to do that?”

Lim Kyung-jun asked with a sly smile. Lee Jong-suk answered.

“Director Lim, I think you need to help me with one thing. I’ll call you in advance when I leave.”

“What’s going on?”

“I thought that we should send a gift to our representative as a humane gesture when he goes to sign a PG contract.”

***

GH Strategy Office Director Lee Young-pil was waiting for someone at a bar in Cheongdam-dong. He was with another person.

“Vice President, thank you for giving me this great opportunity.”

This refers to Lee Young-pil, who is about to be promoted.

“What are you talking about? The results aren’t out yet. You have to avoid falling leaves. Even walls have ears. Stop talking nonsense. Stop talking nonsense.”

“I was short-sighted. Sorry.”

“By the way, why are you so late? You young friend, you’re being rude. Tsk.”

“Don’t you know who is A and who is B? You’re just kids. Since we’re going to eat all the food anyway, please be generous and understand.”

PG Business Division Manager Seo Tae-man continued to praise Lee Young-pil. His flattery skills were top-notch.

“It should be Kang Si-hyeon who says that, not Director Seo.”

“Yes, of course.”

I decided to meet with Kang Si-hyeon regarding the PG contract.

There are many payment agencies, but if you had to pick just three, GH’s PG business division would be a good choice. Lee Young-pil must have repeated to himself over and over again that he wouldn’t have even pretended to know if it weren’t for Kang Si-hyeon of Cocoa.

‘Just come and see.’

I was holding on.

“Are you well prepared?”

“Don’t worry.”

Seo Tae-man shouted loudly.

“We’ve carefully seasoned the contract. From now on, Bear will do all the tricks and we’ll make all the money.”

“The legal stuff? Have you reviewed it?”

“Oh my, you are worrying so much. Do you think I have ever done something like this before? There is no problem. The Vice President has done everything he could to provide a good position. I will take care of everything else.”

Seo Tae-man smiled cowardly. This time, Lee Young-pil didn’t have a problem with being called vice president.

To be honest, it was nice to hear.

‘The alcohol tastes sweet. Sweet.’

I was feeling better and better.

Before I knew it, the car had entered an alley in Cheongdam-dong.

‘It’s Gangnam.’

It was a neighborhood with many bad memories. It was also the place where almost got invested.

“I will be waiting, sir.”

“Yes, it won’t take long.”

The car pulled out in front of a fancy bar.

“Welcome, CEO Kang Si-Hyeon. Nice to meet you. I am Lee Young-Pil, the head of GH Strategy Office. This is Seo Tae-Man, the managing director of PG Headquarters.”

“It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Seo Tae-man. Please take a seat quickly. I’m really sorry for telling you not to come when the weather is cold.”

The two acted exactly like tongues in a mouth.

“Oh, yes.”

Sat down.

“I heard that Cocoa is planning a new service this time. I read the proposal carefully. The content is excellent. I have no doubt that it will be a convenient service for the people.”

Seo Tae-man smiled faintly and said something that wasn’t asked.

“What about the contract?”

“Ah. Here it is.”

‘That little bastard’s son is in a hurry.’ This expression briefly crossed his face as he handed me the documents.

“Please hurry up and give it to me. I’m in a bit of a hurry.”

Regardless, I wanted to leave Cheongdam-dong as soon as possible. I looked at the contract that Seo Tae-man handed me.

The phrase was familiar. I had just finished studying.

If there was one thing special, it was the fee clause. It was obvious that it was a poison pill.

‘The fee per remittance between Party A (PG Company) and Party B (Service Provider) is set at #00 won, but may be changed through mutual agreement.’

Doesn’t this mean that they will keep all the commissions they receive from the franchisees and, in some cases, only give us the minimum? If they hadn’t inserted it, I would have been the first to insist on inserting it.

It’s a matter of spending money.

You can fool others, but you can never fool my eyes. I like it.

“The contract is neat. Let’s proceed as is.”

Two people smiled at my words.

“As expected, you are hot.”

“There’s a reason Cocoa is the best IT company in our country.”

I didn’t even pretend to hear the two of them’s flattery that came out automatically, and I immediately grabbed the contract and got up. In any case, Yang Seung-kwan would take care of the practical work with GH.

“Are you leaving already?”

I wanted to leave quickly, I answered.

“I’ll pay the bill and leave, so enjoy your meal.”

No matter how urgent it was, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to spend money.

“Thank you, you little punk. I enjoyed the meal.”

As he left the store, Lee Young-pil muttered to himself. It was something he was saying to Kang Si-hyeon.

“Isn’t that Haetae’s eye? Thanks to you, Vice President, who said it was good and took it with him, our headquarters’ performance has improved significantly. Thank you.”

Seo Tae-man added a jingle to the sound.

“If you knew what I was thankful for, you would know it, right?”

“Oh, of course. I know that.”

That was when I came out to the parking lot. As I approached the car, I could see a group of suspicious people gathered together from afar.

“Who are you guys?”

Several large men were washing Lee Young-pil’s car.

I did call a substitute. But there was more than one. And where else would you find a substitute who starts washing your car as soon as he gets there?

A man approached me, groping me.

“Are you coming out now, Executive Director Lee Young-pil?”

He was wearing a black suit and black sunglasses. His size gave him an intimidating look.

“Who are you?”

Lee Young-pil tried hard to hide his fear and asked.

“You don’t need to know who I am. The person I’m serving has something to tell you. I’ll just pass it on and go.”

“Go ahead, try it.”

“I will. ‘It looks like they are going to tamper with the commission fee, but if that is the case, you should give up. Next time, I will not tell them verbally. Our kids are a bit ill-mannered. I believe you understand, Managing Director Lee Young-pil.’ That is all for now. Do you understand everything?”

My mouth didn’t open easily.

“I guess you didn’t understand since you didn’t answer. Guys. This person didn’t understand.”

“Yes, bro!”

“I got it. I got it.”

Lee Young-pil answered in a hurried manner. This time, his mouth fell open. The man who saw the unsightly sight snickered.

“Then go ahead and take a look. Car washing is a service, brother.”

Before I knew it, the title had changed from Managing Director to Brother.

“And we’re hungry because we worked so hard for the ‘car wash service,’ so wouldn’t it be okay if you gave us some pocket money, bro? I think 200 would be enough, bro.”

The 2 million won that Kang Si-hyeon gave him for drinking each day ran away from Lee Young-pil’s wallet.

***

[CEO Kang Si-hyeon] Mr. Yang Seung-gwan, I have sorted out the details of the contract with GH. You can contact me on this number when you get to work.

A Kotok message arrived on Yang Seung-kwan’s phone.

‘No, is it really that easy?’

I also received a call from Lee Jong-suk a while ago.

It was said that I could just take over the Bank Wallet contract that was being serviced by the Financial Supervisory Service. The contact information was also included. I looked at the contract that was sent along. The remittance fee was less than 100 won. It was almost nothing. Of course, there were some costs that had to be settled when taking over, but I could do that much.

In fact, person-to-person remittances were the biggest problem. Everything else wasn’t a big problem.

The problem has been solved.

Since we chose two good members, things went smoothly from the start.

‘A good company is different no matter what.’

With that thought in mind, he returned to his work. It was already approaching midnight. However, his two eyes were still shining brightly.

***

Several months passed.

[KakaoTalk, ‘Send money conveniently through chat.’ A refreshing start to a new attempt… ‘Financial services in my hands!’]

[ ‘KakaoTalk Money Sending’ Service Cumulative Remittance Amount Surpasses 50 Billion Won ······ ‘Why Did This Service Come Out Now?’ Analysis (Comprehensive)]

It was very different from what I thought.

‘Does this make sense?’

One of the executives clearly said that it would be a deficit.

As it turned out, the result was just the opposite.

The prediction that fees would be a hindrance was shattered by CEO Lee Jong-seok. Thanks to the active support of the Financial Supervisory Service, banks also opened their doors easily. GH was in a similar situation. They sent us a high percentage of the fees they received from merchants.

The deficit has gone down the drain.

“shit.”

The swear words just came out naturally.

“Why is that, sir?”

Director Han Jang-soo was surprised by my swearing and asked as he entered the CEO’s office.

“It’s nothing.”

“······Did you see the interim financial results for the ‘KakaoTalk Wallet’ service for the first quarter of this year? This time again, I upset the CEO with my wrong prediction. If that’s the reason, I apologize. The CEO was right.”

There seemed to be some misunderstanding.

“It’s not once or twice, but it could happen.”

I muddled through.

“So what’s going on now?”

“Ah, because of this······.”

A manager handed me a document. [People and Culture Workshop Interim Report]. It seemed to be about the staff workshop they were preparing this summer.

The location was Jeju Island.

“Jeju Island?”

“yes.”

I was thinking of places like Guam, Hawaii, or Kota Kinabalu, but I thought they were too rustic.

“I decided to go to Jeju Island because it is attracting a high-tech industrial complex, and I thought it would be better than just going there to have fun. But it would be too expensive, so I wonder if it would be a good idea.”

“No. Let’s go to Jeju Island.”

“Yes, thank you for your permission. And here······.”

I flipped over the section on accommodation. It had a list of hotels and pensions with pictures.

“We are conducting a survey. Please cast your vote, too.”

It was a good idea. It is a democratic country. Voting is a basic decency. I also like the place where the employees like it the most.

But there was one problem. There was one item missing from the data.

“Director Han, I think you missed something.”

“yes?”

One manager tilted his head.

“Is there any other information you need? Please let me know and I will investigate and report back to you immediately.”

‘I don’t know anything, but I don’t know much,’ I thought as I answered.

“The purchase price isn’t written down. The purchase price. I need to see the purchase price before I decide where to go.”
