Episode 356. Age (1)

Taesung Chemical President’s Office.

Na Jae-hong came running out of the convention center as soon as the meeting was over.

Chae Kyung-jun left the meeting and disappeared somewhere, saying he wanted to cool his head, and Chae In-ha was left to clean up.

At Chae In-ha’s words that he would take care of the rest and that he should quickly go and report, he quickly drove over there.

Na Jae-hong didn’t move to the side at all.

Immediately after receiving the bundle of papers from Chae Kyung-jun, he carried them carefully without looking back and came all the way to the president’s office.

And Na Jae-hong explained in detail what happened.

Although it wasn’t even the slightest exaggeration, the president couldn’t believe his ears.

“Is that all true?”

“I didn’t put any MSG in it. I just told you exactly what it was.”

The boss looked at dozens of sheets of paper on his desk.

Although there was no set format and it was all handwritten, it was quickly apparent how important it was.

This bundle of papers, clearly folded from having been carried in the bosom, was the very result that would bring this case to a close.

“Review it with the legal team and handle it yourself. That’s all for your role.”

The boss picked up a piece of paper and looked through it.

It contained basic business information, the desired compensation amount, and detailed consultation details.

On the back page, there was a technical explanation diagram that seemed to have been drawn by the CEO of a small business.

“What is this?”

“This is one of the details that Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun requested. He asked me to write down what kind of technology is related to Taesung Chemical. He asked me to cross-check with the data at Taesung Chemical, as they might try to exaggerate it to get compensation. Since they are employees who were drafted from the Management Support Office and are outsiders, it seems like the CEO himself has drawn quite a few things.”

The work is done neatly and delicately.

The fact that it was written by hand wasn’t a problem.

Rather, since it is handwritten, it can serve as better evidence from Taesung Chemical’s perspective.

Once the compensation is paid, you won’t be able to complain later.

This wasn’t just an attempt to avoid the issue.

It is an arrangement that has been made by thinking about and calculating what will happen in the future.

Even though he himself would be gone if he left.

What happens after that is actually something Taesung Chemical has to take care of on its own.

However, Chae Kyung-jun was considerate enough to make it easy for the company to move forward.

“Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun is a person who really sees far ahead.”

The boss was impressed.

Na Jae-hong’s face, which had been stiff the whole time, brightened a little.

He was nervous because he felt a sense of responsibility for being entrusted with an important task by Chae Kyung-jun.

Na Jae-hong also knew very well what this piece of paper meant.

It is the essence of today’s meeting and a solution that can neatly conclude the company’s problems.

When I thought of Chae Kyung-jun, who had entrusted that to me, I couldn’t act like I usually did.

Then, I felt a little relieved when I heard the president’s words.

The president flipped through the papers one by one.

It was messy with double-lined and rewritten marks and various handwritings, but it also meant that the negotiations were fierce.

It included the name of the employee who did the consultation, as well as the autograph of the CEO who suggested the amount.

It was perfect.

“You must have expected what would happen after you left. From what I heard from Na Jae-hong, everyone in the conference room must have been overwhelmed. There must have been a lot of concentration and tension.”

The president flipped through the papers one by one.

“But the law is different before and after going to the bathroom. I expected that this alone would not end things cleanly. That’s why I blocked any room for stubbornness. The presidents who sat at the negotiating table personally proposed the amount and signed it, so now the justification is on our side.”

The boss laughed heartily.

“They said they came as a problem solver, and they really are. This is the perfect solution. As Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun said, all we need to do is have the legal team review it. We’ll have to try to get it to this amount as much as possible.”

“I knew you’d cut it.”

The president gave Na Jae-hong a reprimanding nod at his words.

“It’s true that Team Leader Chae Kyung-jun was quite merciful to the other party, but since things have come to this, it’s right to accept this amount. It’s not like there’s any benefit to cutting it by a few pennies, and there will be gossip. In fact, it’s a cheap price for keeping someone’s mouth shut.”

Na Jae-hong was weak at this type of calculation, but he wasn’t stupid.

I quickly understood and nodded.

“Thank you, Mr. Na Jae-hong, for your hard work chasing after me. Please return to your original department starting tomorrow.”

“All right.”

The rest can be left to the boss.

Na Jae-hong had a relieved expression.

Although I had fun working with a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time, it’s true that I felt a sense of responsibility and burden without realizing it.

I was even more worried because we were friends.

I knew he was competent since my days at the training center.

He was unlike anyone I’d ever seen before.

He was a friend whose mind was so deep that you couldn’t even guess how far he was looking.

Just because you have ability doesn’t mean you’re necessarily good.

If you do a good job, you will be given more work.

Things that are important and cannot fail.

Chae Kyung-jun was exactly like that.

This is the case even in this case.

When one of the attendees broke the bottle earlier, Na Jae-hong felt a chill down his spine.

It’s already a burden.

There was a near-violent incident there.

Even an experienced person would be flustered in that situation, but Chae Kyung-jun went down from the stage and walked among them.

Even though he’s not a person without emotions, wouldn’t he have been nervous because it was Chae Kyung-jun?

Yet, strangely enough, I didn’t feel like it was reckless.

If it was Chae Kyung-jun, it seemed like he had already done all the calculations in his head.

He was not a bold beggar.

But when it comes to doing it, I do it.

That’s why I thought they acknowledged it from above.

“Then let’s go.”

When Na Jae-hong was about to leave after saying hello, the president called him over.

“Oh, I’ll be returning to my department tomorrow. I’ll have to continue doing what I was doing until today.”

“yes?”

The boss winked playfully and took his wallet out of his pocket.

And then he took out a card and held it out.

“It is Na Jae-hong’s job to welcome and serve important guests. Those guests are leaving today. You have to take care of them until the end.”

“Oh, then… … .”

The president gave a definitive answer after seeing Na Jae-hong’s reaction.

“Let’s get off work early and have a company dinner together. The food and drinks will be good.”

It was true that he was an important guest, and it was also true that he had to be treated well all the way to the end of his journey.

I just didn’t think of her as a friend.

If it were up to me, I would have started by giving them alcohol from the first day.

It’s basic to buy them food and drinks to ask for their favor.

However, the boss did not give the card to an important guest just because he was an important guest.

It’s about giving friends time to play together.

Na Jae-hong cheered.

“Can I have Omakase?”

“Eat as much as you want. You can go to expensive places. You can scrape together the second and third rounds with that.”

“thank you!”

Na Jae-hong ran out as quickly as he came.

This time, hold the card carefully.

The president picked up the phone after confirming that his back had completely disappeared.

There was so much I had to tell the Vice President.

* * *

It’s hot.

I was wandering around outside the building and sat down on a bench under the shade of a tree.

It was nice to come out for a walk after the so-called ‘Taesung Chemical Technology Conference’, but the weather was too hot.

It was hard to breathe because the temperature was approaching 40 degrees, and there was no wind.

I missed the cool air conditioning in the conference room.

Should I go back in?

But the conference room is a symbolic place for me.

It reminds me of my childhood and my father.

Wait, but it’s okay since I already solved it, right?

After some serious thought, I headed to the convention center.

The cold air that hit me as soon as I entered the building was delicious.

I felt like I was going to live.

The conference room was noisy with the sound of chairs and desks being cleared away, as if the small business owners had already left.

“Are you here? I’m going to finish cleaning up, so please have a seat for a moment.”

Just because you’re told to sit doesn’t mean you can actually sit.

I helped the staff move the chairs.

“Thank you for your hard work. You may go now.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Team Leader!”

“Let’s go!”

After sending away the dispatched staff, I took a moment to look around the conference room.

Everyone left and the only one left next to me was, as always, Chae In-ha.

“Thank you for your hard work, Team Leader.”

“Mr. Inha, you too. Your work at Taesung Chemical is finished.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

I don’t even know how ten days passed by.

I looked at my watch.

4:50.

It was an ambiguous time.

I think this will be enough for today.

After solving one task, I somehow feel empty.

I was just about to say that it was time to go home.

I got a call from Na Jae-hong.

-Where are you now?

“Why? Is there something wrong?”

-I’ll go catch him now.

“… …What’s really wrong?”

When I asked seriously, Na Jae-hong spoke in an excited voice.

-Let’s go eat! Let’s go drink!

“… …What are you talking about?”

-The boss gave me a card! Hey, where do you want to go?

This is welcome.

I glanced at Chae In-ha.

“Mr. Inha, are you busy today? Na Jaehong wants to eat.”

“Are you going to buy me something expensive?”

This person is the youngest daughter of a conglomerate family, so why is she like this?

These days, he hangs out with the regular employees and sometimes forgets his position.

I nodded.

“The boss gave me a card.”

“Ah, then I guess I can pull it out with confidence.”

“… … ?”

I was dumbfounded and just stared blankly at Chae In-ha.

Chae In-ha shouted so that everyone could hear on the phone.

“Let’s go eat beef! Special cuts!”

-Good idea! I’ll drive there right now, so hold on to Chae Kyung-jun so he doesn’t go! Oh, and can you help me figure out where to go?

“yes!”

Chae In-ha carefully grabbed the end of my sleeve.

He really listens well.

But I guess it’s a bit weird to hold hands.

I quietly watched Chae In-ha scroll through his phone while holding onto his sleeve.

I was looking for a nearby beef restaurant very seriously.

I also took out my cell phone.

[Mom~ I’ll eat dinner tonight and come home late~ I’ll buy you dinner]

I can’t resist free beef.

* * *

Profit.

The meat sizzled deliciously on the charcoal grill.

It was I who held the tongs.

As expected, Chae In-ha didn’t know how to grill meat, and Na Jae-hong looked awkward holding the tongs.

It’s expensive meat, so I can’t just burn it.

I immediately snatched the tongs and scissors away.

As soon as the outer surface was slightly cooked, I cut it into thin pieces with scissors.

I left it on until the red color inside had slightly faded, then cut the mushrooms that came with it and placed them on top.

And he placed one point each in front of Na Jae-hong and Chae In-ha.

The two of them took it as if they had been waiting and ate it all in one mouthful.

It must be hot, but you eat well.

“Oh, this restaurant is delicious. Inha, you’re really good at choosing good restaurants.”

“I ate some beef when I was little.”

Oh my, this is a perfect fit for death.

I also picked one up and sprinkled some salt on it.

I’m originally a fan of ssamjang, but I admit that the first meat is salty.

After the initial heat had passed, the meat’s natural oily flavor began to be felt.

I understand why you bragged about your childhood.

The meat was very tender.

“Wow, this is so delicious.”

An exclamation came out without me knowing.

“Right? It’s a famous house that even celebrities have visited.”

Na Jae-hong nodded his head sharply at Chae In-ha’s words and poured himself some soju.

As my mouth started to get oily, my spoon naturally turned to the soybean paste stew.

As I ate the slightly spicy soybean paste stew, the remaining greasiness was completely washed away.

It’s a taste that makes you want to drink alcohol.

We filled each other’s glasses with soju.

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

Instead of making toasts, I’d rather eat one more piece of meat.

I clinked my glasses as I greeted him.

I put the meat back in when the strong scent of soju reached my throat.

This house is really well made.

I spent a few minutes roasting and eating them without thinking.

Chae In-ha suddenly asked.

I’ve been curious about this for a long time, but I’m only asking now.

“Mr. Na Jae-hong, how old are you?”

I was terrified.

“No! That’s taboo!!!”

Na Jae-hong’s age is a Pandora’s box that must never be known.
