The 3th Generation of the Chaebol Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 1141



Only Noblemtl

1141.

He is living a second life as an analog design expert.

That is why the employees at KM Electronics look at Manager Choi Gu-man with admiration.

Manager Choi Gu-man was already becoming a legend within KM Electronics as a man who became a multi-millionaire by receiving stocks.

Eventually, the demand for education became overwhelming.

However, since KM Electronics is not a university, the work was carried out in a consignment manner.

The company building was used temporarily.

But that changed after they started buying land in Pangyo.

While purchasing the land, the building was also purchased.

The entire 10-story building.

In fact, this is not well known because it is kept quiet.

Minhyuk Choi turned one of those buildings into an in-house training center.

He contracted with the best experts.

Among them were experts from Silicon Valley.

The contract they signed was under the pretext of employment at KMBOOK.

The justification was that if you work here for a certain period of time, you will be eligible to join KMBOOK.

Director Minhyeok Choi focused on software because of the management philosophy he pursues.

The interior of this building was equipped with the best computers and provided an environment for education.

Even a space to eat, sleep, and do other things.

Director Yoo Jin-sik and Deputy Director Lee Dong-soo were amazed as they toured the building with a group of about 40 people. It was built in a way that made it look like a building from the future.

“… You must have a lot of money.”

The inside of the office was so sparkling that there wasn’t a speck of dust.

There are also office chairs that are so high quality that it’s uncomfortable to sit on them.

The computer was integrated and not visible from the outside.

There’s just a keyboard and a large monitor.

Two of them, too.

It was very different from the traditional way of standing in a line.

Installation was carried out as a single package by team unit.

They sat down for a moment under the direction of Planning Team Leader Jeong Seong-geun.

“…Why on earth did you invite us here? We came to meet Director Choi Min-hyeok.”

Deputy Jeong Seong-geun spoke in a businesslike tone.

“Aren’t you here because you need a job?”

“That’s true, but… … .”

“You have to put in the effort to get a good job. Have you ever tried to get a good job without putting in any effort?”

“… That’s not it.”

Everyone, including Manager Yoo Jin-sik, couldn’t raise their heads.

Frankly, it’s because they know very well that what they want is too much.

In fact, doing just this was something that a normal large corporation would never be able to do.

Deputy Director Jeong Seong-geun spoke warmly, as he had already fully understood the instructions given by Director Choi Min-hyeok.

“Don’t blame yourself too much. You deserve to be treated that way. The reason Director Choi Min-hyeok acknowledges you is because you didn’t give up.”

“yes?”

He said this while recalling the researchers who never gave up on developing Collins in the past.

“Collins’ division did it. The company gave up, but the guy in charge pushed ahead with the plan. It’s now a $6 billion jackpot.”

“…What is that.”

They couldn’t quite understand the situation when the Collins story came up.

Deputy Jeong Seong-geun explained calmly.

The one who eventually brought the matter to the surface was Director Choi Min-hyeok.

“oh my god.”

When Assistant Manager Jeong Seong-geun received word that Director Choi Min-hyeok had arrived, he assigned him a seat.

“This time too. Director Choi Min-hyeok will recognize your patience and give you a chance. Don’t miss that opportunity.”

***

Even when Director Choi Min-hyeok appeared with his entourage, the classroom was quiet.

After giving a brief greeting, Manager Jeong Seong-geun went to a corner and stood.

Director Choi Min-hyeok looked around them quietly and fixed his gaze on Manager Yoo Jin-sik.

‘It’s Eugene Sik.’

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo is very greedy, but he has an eye for people.

If he judged me to be a good person, then it was okay.

He looked through the personnel file of Chief Yoo Jin-sik that he had received at the request of Director Jang Seung-il. The attached file also contained information about what he had done up to the present.

We went on strike, but it was an inevitable choice.

Most of those gathered here were like that.

In fact, among the people selected by Director Yoo Jin-sik, there were some who were eliminated.

Because their actions are questionable.

Ultimately, those who stand in front of this are those who remain without giving up until the end.

Among them, there were some who unexpectedly passed the exams at other companies but still stayed.

“I fully understand the loyalty you have to the KM Group, even though the affiliates were reorganized due to unavoidable circumstances.”

There was no long story.

After a brief introduction, Director Choi Min-hyeok said just one word.

“In fact, I appreciate that you have not given up on KM Group and have shown trust and patience so far. That is why I have decided to give you a second chance.”

Actually, it wasn’t just words.

The type of talent that Director Choi Min-hyeok wanted was trust first and foremost, and trust second.

However, it was difficult to confirm these through personnel recruitment.

This was the reason why Director Choi Min-hyeok resorted to such a desperate measure.

‘It’s something to be thankful for, Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo. It won’t be easy if Vice President Choi Moon-kyung interferes with the normal process.’

There will be an uproar right away because Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung took away employees from affiliated companies.

“This is KM Electronics’ in-house training center. However, it is not just a place for general training. It provides training opportunities that can be applied immediately. Therefore, we have prepared an officetel, a residential space for this purpose. You just need to focus on your work.”

“… … ?”

Everyone tilted their heads at Director Choi Min-hyeok’s explanation, which lacked substance.

But Director Choi Min-hyeok just said this and left.

Of course, there was someone to replace Director Choi Min-hyeok.

As a KMBOOK employee, an engineer who only knows Korea stepped forward.

He was worse than Director Choi Min-hyeok. He only gave unilateral orders.

“As you can see from what Director Choi Min-hyeok said, the point is simple. I will now begin a tutorial on the animation platform. After receiving the training, you will quickly understand why we do this.”

Of course, there were those who raised their hands.

“I don’t know any programming languages.”

“It’s better to not know than to know half-heartedly. Just do as I say. Do it unconditionally!!”

“… … .”

There was no way they didn’t know that. It was something they always said when training new employees. He ended up being treated like a new employee.

On the one hand, my worries began to disappear.

With these words, everyone started working on modifying the demo program using the animation platform.

“… … .”

Manager Yoo Jin-sik was shocked, but he had no choice but to silently follow.

Of course, he realized as he went along that this animation platform was similar to the C language. Fortunately, he had some experience with the C language during his college days, so he was able to keep up.

The same goes for others.

They didn’t know English, but they couldn’t shake off what Director Choi Min-hyeok had said.

Second chance, that is.

‘Is this really an officetel?’

It was absurd, but I had no choice but to follow along.

***

All of them, including Manager Eugene Sik, followed the KMBOOK engineer training without fail.

They were guided by Agent Jeong Seong-geun and entered the officetel building right next door.

One per person.

Surprisingly, the quality of the officetel was far better than my own home.

It was so good that even the family that Manager Jeong Seong-geun had invited, or to be exact, his wife, stuck out her tongue while watching.

“Oh my god, this is better than my house.”

“…Why did you come here?!”

Eugene’s wife glared at her husband.

“I said that I don’t want to create any unnecessary misunderstandings because I might not be able to go home if I get busy with my work at KM Electronics.”

“…okay?”

Manager Yoo Jin-sik frowned. Being busy meant that he was making her work even on weekends. Naturally, his wife was suspicious.

This is to prevent that from happening in advance.

If anything, it was an offer he couldn’t refuse.

I also tell this to my wife.

My wife started to get jealous when she saw the fancy interior of the officetel.

“Honey, can I come in here? No, we have kids here too.”

“It’s too narrow to even have kids here… … .”

“No. If you have a family, they said they’d give you a bigger officetel. The company would also pay all the management fees.”

For a moment, Chief Yoo Jin-sik felt creepy. He thought he knew why Chief Choi Min-hyeok was dragging his family into this under the pretext of welfare.

‘Fuck, you’re telling me to just work myself to death.’

I didn’t do things like that at my previous job either.

Because of his good personality, he worked slowly.

Because of that, the results were not good.

Director Choi Min-hyeok does not want that to happen again.

My wife kept nagging me. No, sometimes she would attack me with her cat-like eyes. In the end, I couldn’t refuse her offer.

We moved to a spacious 32 pyeong officetel.

‘… I’m screwed.’

***

Eugene Sik and his group did not think that Director Choi Min-hyeok was just handing things out.

I had no idea that he would take my family hostage.

Now all I had to do was work like crazy.

But as I got educated, I learned that this wasn’t all a bad thing.

What Director Choi Min-hyeok did, surprisingly, was to create an application that runs on KM Electronics’ MP3 player.

They also knew that the MP3 industry was growing like never before.

What this means is that if you make the program right, you can hit the jackpot.

‘Wait, this could be independent, right?’

But I soon gave up on that idea.

I haven’t forgotten the favor that Director Choi Min-hyeok gave me.

In fact, Director Choi Min-hyeok wants them to grow quickly and become independent.

In fact, this was beneficial to them. If they made good use of the idea that Director Choi Min-hyeok had secretly given them, they could start a business.

It was difficult to create the MP3 app infrastructure with only KM Electronics’ efforts.

There are limits to giving work to outsourcing companies.

Eventually, that intermediate step was necessary.

This is the reason why we are raising Manager Yoo Jin-sik.

Thanks to this, Director Yoo Jin-sik was able to forget about the world and focus on education.

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo did not know this, so he was not there when he went to see Vice President Yoo Jin-sik again.

He found out that he had gone to the KM Electronic Training Center with the help of a building guide.

‘This is absurd.’

“… … .”

Manager Cheon Seon-gu had a look on his face as if he was wondering if it was true.

“Could it be that Director Choi Min-hyeok was spying on us?”

“Probably so. But I didn’t know they would push things forward this quickly.”

“I don’t quite understand. What are you going to do with the already scrapped employees?”

“I have to find out.”

There was no need for me to find out for myself.

‘Whew, I wanted to cook something for Vice President Choi Moon-kyung, but things got messed up.’

***

Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo went to see Vice President Choi Moon-kyung and told her about the work he was doing.

It’s a bit absurd, though.

Vice President Choi Moon-kyung was impressed after hearing Senior Vice President Kim Hyeon-woo’s story.

I didn’t know that they would use the employees of a restructured subsidiary to sell their emotions.

If things go well, he will be evaluated by KM Group executives and employees as a hero who saved everyone from the damage of restructuring.

It was an opportunity to clear up all the notoriety he had built up.

That’s why he hated Director Choi Min-hyeok even more.

I immediately ran to Director Jang Seung-il and asked him about it.

“Director Choi Min-hyeok is the owner of KM Electronics. But why is he taking employees from our affiliates and training them as he pleases?!”

“… … ?”

Director Jang Seung-il couldn’t understand Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung’s reprimand, so he just blinked.

In fact, the person who insisted that affiliate employees should be treated harshly was Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung.

Vice Chairman Choi Moon-kyung also averted her gaze as she recalled what she had done in the past.

“What I mean is, they are still KM Group employees. It doesn’t make sense to take them to KM Electronics and do something!”

Actually, it wasn’t a wrong story.

The biggest problem is that Director Jang Seung-il provided their personnel profiles to Director Choi Min-hyeok.

Director Jang Seung-il also knew that well.

“But the restructuring has already been completed. Now, we have no right to interfere with them.”
