The Bottom of a Large Company Does a Good Job - Chapter 339



Only Noblemtl

Episode 339. Going to work (1)

Even though we had only been apart for a few days, it felt like a long time since I went to work at Taesung Construction.

In fact, I was only at Taesung Security for one day and Taesung Bio for two days.

I went to work on Monday and today is Friday, so not much time has passed since then.

But what is this joy that feels like it’s only been three weeks?

Do you think I consider Taesung Construction as my workplace?

I thought this was just a place to pass through, but I guess that wasn’t the case.

I entered the first floor with a somewhat refreshing feeling.

“hello!”

“Have a nice day, Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun.”

Maybe it was because I had previously gone around the company to hear suggestions and visit the security team, but they were all familiar faces.

And I feel a bit bad saying this, but there is no one in Taesung Construction who doesn’t know me.

As evidence, the coworkers who were commuting to work with me would make eye contact with me and give me a quick nod.

I bowed my head slightly to each and every one of them to receive their greetings.

-Ding!

As always, the elevators are full during rush hour.

But there was one empty elevator.

To be exact, there was one person riding it.

This is the president, Kim Heung-min.

“Hello, boss.”

The employees standing in line bowed 90 degrees and greeted the elevator.

“Oh, okay.”

The president raised one hand to greet me, and our eyes met.

For a moment his body froze stiffly.

“Hello. I see you’re heading to work now.”

“Oh, oh, oh. Team Leader Chae also came to work today.”

The boss smiled awkwardly.

“Can I ride it?”

“Of course. Of course.”

Originally, the president would have sent it off alone.

But then I remembered what I heard from the strategy director yesterday.

That I am no longer the team leader.

Don’t act like an ordinary team leader.

Then there would be no problem riding with the boss.

I didn’t tell the other employees to ride with me.

It’s their choice.

Some companies allow their CEOs and employees to ride the elevator together to and from work, but this was not the case with this company.

The employees feel burdened.

I might as well just let you pass since you’re riding the same elevator with someone so far above you in the morning.

There were quite a few people who thought that way.

Of course not me.

I have something to tell the boss.

“How about the board?”

I asked as soon as the elevator doors closed.

It’s not a question a mere team leader can ask, but it has to be asked.

Because it was something I did.

What I hate the most is when the person who causes the accident is one person and the person who cleans up the mess is another person.

Of course, there are things that are impossible on my end.

It is prideful to think that I can solve everything.

Still, there is a world of difference between knowing and not knowing.

This is not a time where I can just ignore it.

The words of the strategy director telling the team leader to stop pretending to be the team leader may also include this.

Even the manager who said that probably didn’t think I could do everything.

If you can’t do it, just ask for help.

To Kwon Tae-ho, and to everything I can use.

“The reshuffle has been completed. All the directors who took their positions through connections with Mrs. Cho Mi-hyeon have resigned and people from the head office have taken over.”

“It’s neat. You won’t clash with the existing executives, right?”

Taesung Construction’s board of directors was originally divided into two.

The staff and Jo Mi-hyeon’s faction.

With one side being swept away and a large number of new people coming in, a new factional fight may break out.

“The newly appointed directors seem to be a bit more receptive. I think they are being respected because they have been working in the field for a long time.”

“thank god.”

The board meeting seemed to have concluded with this.

I don’t have to do anything or ask for help.

Well, Taesung Construction is also paying attention to the headquarters, so they must have done a good job.

-Ding!

The elevator door opened just as I was about to get off.

The boss asked urgently.

“Why did the strategy room go to Taesung Bio?”

Certainly, the fact that the strategy room has been moved around so drastically seems to be an issue among executives.

The rumor I wanted to spread hasn’t spread yet, but it only happened yesterday, so that’s understandable.

I left a meaningful message on purpose.

“I think the Vice President should explain that.”

The sound of the elevator closing behind me was followed by the boss’s absentminded voice.

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

When I entered the management support headquarters office, it was still early for Chae In-ha to arrive at work.

“good morning!”

As we entered with a lively greeting, greetings could be heard from all over the place.

Although it was only three days since they started working, the employees didn’t think much of it.

Since I am away from work so often, I guess they just let it go even if I don’t go to work for a few days.

It’s clear that you don’t know what happened in the past three days.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have turned my gaze to the monitor so immediately.

I checked my mailbox and messenger, and checked the reports that had come up from the management support office.

It wasn’t my job, but I wanted to at least find out what was going on at Taesung Construction.

It is important to understand the circumstances of other companies, but when you go outside, the light is dark.

It’s ridiculous to say that you know everything about other companies but don’t know what’s going on in your own company.

As I was looking around while sipping my morning coffee, Chae In-ha suddenly came in.

It’s not even late, but you’re walking in a hurry.

“hello!”

“hello.”

Chae In-ha, who greeted him cheerfully, quickly put down her bag and turned around.

He didn’t even sit on the chair.

She gets very busy when she goes to work at Taesung Construction.

“I’ll make a round and come back. Call me if you need me.”

“Have a nice trip.”

I happily saw Chae In-ha off.

It is a communication channel and information center run by Taesung Construction.

Before I knew it, I had taken over almost every department in the company.

No one felt strange even when Chae In-ha suddenly showed up.

Thanks to that, when I visited each department and asked if there was anything inconvenient, people were not hesitant to give me suggestions.

I can understand why Chae In-ha does that.

Whenever I hang out with him, Chae In-ha always plays the role of quietly listening.

I would have hated that.

Of course, there is no place for Chae In-ha to step forward at important moments.

But if you stay there, you can’t grow.

Chaina would have wanted to have his own role.

Do something that only you can do.

And I found the answer.

It fills in the parts that I can’t do and the parts that I don’t care about.

I can’t look around at the people around me.

How could I care when I’m busy taking care of my own body?

To be honest, Chae In-ha is just hanging out with me, not me taking care of him.

We were in a position where we had to take care of ourselves.

Chainha found his role in front of that blindfold.

Just look around.

Speaking on my behalf.

I liked that aspect.

Even if he just stays still, he is someone who will inherit at least one company in the future.

Rather than settling for that reality, he found something he could do.

To be honest, it won’t be easy working with me.

He was chasing after each one and finding something he could do.

It was the same even then.

“I’ll come for lunch later!”

Chae In-ha left the office in an instant, his hair fluttering as if he was busy with something.

Well, I don’t know when I’ll be away from here again.

If I were to go around the company and sort out what happened in the meantime, one day wouldn’t be enough.

Since it wasn’t something I could do, I decided to just trust and leave the information to Chae In-ha.

We decided to meet at lunch later to hear about how things had been for the past three days, and I focused on what I had to do.

I was in a few group chats.

There are two things we need to look at now.

First, a chat room for construction company representatives.

=Hello! How have you been?

-Team Leader Chae, why have you been so quiet lately?

-I’m a busy person. Please understand.

-You’re the busiest among us?

Originally, I had told the construction company representatives to text me separately.

However, since there were a lot of people, it was difficult to manage and texts became rare, so I changed the method.

I felt uncomfortable having one-on-one conversations with others, but I felt relatively comfortable talking in group chats.

Originally, this chat room would have disappeared right after the operation to disrupt future construction, but the construction company representatives thought it was useful and did not leave.

Although they are competitors, the entire industry is in a difficult position, so they share information and share joys and sorrows.

Sometimes, he was seen making drinking appointments.

Maybe because everyone was older, it was a little difficult to join in on the small talk.

So, from their perspective, it was my first appearance in a very long time.

– Judging from the number of reads, it seems like you’re always lurking. Come by often. Let’s hear about Taesung too.

-How is Taesung Construction doing these days?

It was just a text message on Messenger, but somehow I felt a playfulness beyond it.

It seemed like he had decided to nag the host who had appeared after a long time.

But then I happened to have a story to tell.

=The construction of Taesung is peaceful.

Instead, the moment I was about to type Taesung Bio… … a message like a fever came up.

-You’re lying!

-Aren’t you underestimating us?

-You all know that Taesung Construction’s board of directors has been reshuffled!

-Oh, that’s too bad.

I typed as fast as I could.

=No

=I wasn’t trying to hide it

=Other than Taesung Construction

=Talking about other companies

=I was trying to do that

The urgency was reflected in the text.

The old men’s ㅋㅋㅋs were plastered all over the chat room.

-Calm down and talk.

-Older men are teasing younger people.

-But Team Leader Chae also had that kind of side to him.

-Now you’re acting like a team leader.

-Oh, you guys. Don’t tease me. Team Leader Chae is scary when he’s angry.

-I think you’re teasing me more.

-No. I meant it sincerely.

As many as 19 people started chatting at once, messages started coming in in an instant.

I chuckled.

The person who always put a period at the end was the vice president of Daehyun Construction.

Just looking at it, it seemed like the personality was revealed.

-Everyone knows. I was so surprised when I heard about Taesung Construction.

Strictly speaking, Jo Mi-hyeon’s resignation was an internal matter of Taesung, but it seems to have spread quite a bit.

Indeed, it was only natural that the business world would pay attention to Jo Mi-hyun, who had been holding on to management rights for so long, suddenly stepping down.

But I was surprised because he seemed to know more than I thought.

It seemed like he knew I was involved.

-I knew that Team Leader Chae would have an accident someday.

-Chairman Taesung must have been very happy.

-That family, wasn’t the backstory complicated? Didn’t the chairman say anything?

-Oh, let’s not ask too much. You know we won’t be able to talk much anyway.

-Ah. If you can’t say anything, you don’t have to. It’s just something we’re talking about among ourselves.

I felt the consideration of people in the text.

As a Taesung person, I can’t go into detail about what happened at the board meeting or the Taesung family fights, but I did know one thing.

Rumors in the industry are surprisingly accurate and fast.

-So what are you talking about with other companies?

-We have something to say too.

After chatting away excitedly, it was time to get to the main point.

It’s a good thing for me, who has to work hard to spread the word.

I was about to bring up the topic of Taesung Bio.

The vice president of Daehyun Construction intervened.

-Before that, just a moment. Let’s talk about building the future.

My interest was instantly captured.

=What happened?

-Mirae Construction acquired and merged with Bojeon Construction.

While I was busy doing this and that, it seems Tak Jae-min wasn’t just sitting around doing nothing.
