Episode 56. Sanitation Management Team
The management team members who had opened the door wide to look around slowly entered.
Then they stood side by side against one wall of the office.
As seven people entered, one wall was full.
The hygiene team also looked at him with bewildered expressions.
“Are you trying to fool around with me? Hey, Manager. Say something.”
The head of the personnel department pointed at himself with his finger.
‘Eight, I knew this would happen. It’ll seem like I was the one initiating this.’
He came to watch the fight, not to fight.
The section chief shook his head so violently that his throat cracked.
“We honestly don’t know anything about it. If our youngest wants to do something, we can’t stop him.”
The team leader laughed in disbelief.
It was not only because of the outrageous title of youngest, but also because of the content.
According to what he said, that youngest guy is number one in the office.
Even the one who admitted it was not a regular employee but a department head.
Let’s say that the head of the finance department is a timid person who has no complaints even if he gets eaten up by his subordinates.
Even the fact that the head of the human resources department, who was in another department, said something like that meant that the entire management support team office had fallen into the hands of that young kid.
“Did you guys eat something wrong as a group?”
The team leader had no choice but to ask this.
It seemed more plausible to think that the entire management team was conspiring to make fun of him rather than that a new employee who had just joined the office was taking over.
If that’s the case, it’s a major issue that wouldn’t be enough to go and fight with the team leader.
“No, we really… … Mr. Kyung-Jun! Don’t just sit there and say something. What if you just watch?”
Chae Kyung-jun was looking at the management team members who were following him with their arms linked.
Even though he had a smiling face, his expression clearly showed that he was saying, “Let’s see what he’s doing.”
It is actually rude to the hygiene management team and Chae Kyung-jun to follow me and come into the office and sit down, saying that you wanted to look around.
In a corner of my heart, I still had feelings of ignoring other teams in the company and looking down on the youngest.
“I thought you came to help me again.”
When Chae Kyung-jun spoke, the management team members were terrified.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Please forgive me just this once.”
The hygiene management team leader, who was looking at the scene, let out a hollow laugh.
From the way he acted, it really seemed like the new employee was above the section leader.
Although the section chief seemed to look down on him a bit, he was outwardly delegating the decision-making authority to someone much younger than him.
‘The team leader must be teasing me. He’s using a shallow trick. He doesn’t want to fight with the team leader, so he put a rookie who knows nothing in front as a shield.’
The team leader dismissed the ridiculous idea that a newbie was eating up the office and came up with a different reasoning.
And I thought that was the right answer, so I changed the target to the part manager.
Instead, he had no intention of dealing with the newcomer who came out as a shield.
But the part leader’s expression didn’t seem planned.
The manager, who didn’t know what to do, kept looking at the new employee.
As if asking for a helping hand from a newcomer.
Chae Kyung-jun smiled gently and spoke to the team leader.
“Team Leader, can you please take a look at this instead of killing that guy?”
“What? You’re standing aside. You’re not interfering with what your superiors are talking about!”
The team leader dismissed the newbie’s words without even looking.
But I couldn’t turn away after hearing the words that followed.
“March 29th. 7:59 PM. Paid 265,000 won for large beef tripe with corporate card.”
“what?”
The team leader turned his head sharply.
It was a very familiar date and number.
The newbie recited the exact numbers as if he had memorized them.
“March 12th. 1:22 AM. Paid 466,000 won at Music Bar with corporate card.”
“What are you talking about!”
Chae Kyung-jun smiled happily at the sight of the hygiene management team leader raising his voice.
Actually, I thought a lot about what to start with.
It was a happy worry that arose because there were so many things to trip up over.
Isn’t there a debate about whether to eat the fish-shaped bread from the tail or the head?
It was a question of whether to eat the delicious part first or to put it off.
The tasty part here is the rebate from the hygiene team.
Just the other little things are enough to disband the team.
At Taesung Wellbeing, each team has at least one incident of this kind, so it may have been quiet until now.
“What are you talking about! Section Chief, you asked him to do this? While you were investigating our team?”
“Oh my, Team Leader. Please talk to that person instead of me. I really don’t know anything. What am I? That’s it. A shrimp’s back!”
The section chief was insisting that he was not a whale, but rather a shrimp, something in between.
The center of this work is said to be a new employee.
The part leader’s expression was so earnest that the team leader was momentarily confused.
‘Is that true? There’s no way that’s true?’
While the team leader looked back and forth between the two with an expression that said he was looking at a strange guy, the newbie opened the box lid.
And I pulled out a few of the lists above.
“March 8th. 3:41 PM. Agricultural and fisheries products. 120,000 won. Man, fruit prices are really high these days. But this is like a gift set. Where did you give this as a gift?”
“what?”
“February 27th. 9:13 PM. Master Tuna. 215,000 won. Who did you eat tuna with?”
The list of things for a newbie to see was endless.
In fact, I didn’t have to look far to organize the data.
The newbie was simply reciting the items in chronological order, starting with the most recent one.
Just by that, the team leader quickly understood what was being said.
As evidence, the team leader’s face was turning red as if he had been drinking.
“What is this guy talking about? Won’t he shut his mouth?”
“I’m just reading the corporate card details used by the hygiene management team. Is there something wrong?”
There shouldn’t be any problem originally.
Even if someone from the finance department suddenly comes and starts listing the corporate card usage details, the normal reaction would be, “So what?”
It may be unpleasant for a newbie to come and read it, but there should be no problem with the content.
This is because a corporate card is money used in the name of the company, and company money is not something that individual employees can use as they wish.
It’s literally the company’s money.
It’s someone else’s money.
I wrote something I shouldn’t have written.
That’s why they try to shut the mouths of newcomers because they know that very well.
“What are you doing? What are you doing?”
“As I mentioned earlier, I am a new employee in the finance department of the management team.”
“Who asked you that? What do you know? Get out of here right now!”
The newbie sighed briefly and spoke softly.
“Team leader.”
And then he smiled with an innocent expression.
“Why on earth are you angry?”
It was a face that scratched other people’s insides.
Why would you bring it in a box without knowing why you were angry?
Even the team leader could guess what was in that box.
The records of corporate card usage will be printed like this.
The team leader felt bad about that.
I know I did something wrong.
It’s a rookie who is daring to bring it up now.
“How dare you not get angry!”
Using a corporate card for personal purposes is clearly embezzlement.
But he’s not the only one who does this.
At this company, Taesung Wellbeing, basically everyone with a corporate card does this.
At least I haven’t seen a single team in this company that doesn’t use it privately.
It is a well-known fact that this smart rookie’s boss, the deputy manager, also enjoys home shopping with a corporate card.
“If you want to dig up my faults, go and clean up your own house. Don’t come to other people’s teams and cause trouble!”
“Whether it’s our team or someone else’s team, a flaw is a flaw. And we’ve already finished cracking down on it.”
“You cracked down on it?”
The team leader opened his eyes wide and looked behind the new recruit.
The idiots lined up like a folding screen on one side of the office, the management team employees, nodded their heads vigorously.
By the way, I didn’t see the deputy manager who was in charge of the office.
Oh, you said you were the agent?
“Where did the agent go?”
Even if he was on a different floor, he would have heard Manager Oh’s ramblings, but he was a team leader who had little interest in company affairs.
“It was cut last week.”
The section chief answered on his behalf.
“You got cut off? Mr. Oh? What’s the reason?”
“It is embezzlement and breach of trust.”
“what……?”
The team leader swallowed hard.
Is the management team really determined to crack down on embezzlement?
There’s no way a newbie could have done something like this alone. Perhaps there’s a business management team leader behind him.
The head of the management team, who has a direct line to the president, no, who was higher up than the president before coming here, has drawn his sword.
“Did the team leader give you permission to do this?”
This was a question posed to a newcomer.
“You didn’t give permission, but if you had wanted to stop it, you would have done so a long time ago.”
That’s true.
The team leader over there doesn’t come forward.
He just drinks with a dazed face and occasionally comes out to stop someone from crossing the line.
So, the fact that the head of the management support team was not visible right now was tantamount to tacit permission.
The team leader felt wronged.
“No, why me! Why me? All the other teams are doing it! And give it to me.”
The team leader snatched the list from the newbie’s hands.
There was nothing as big as Mr. Oh.
Most of it is for food, drinks, and transportation.
They were really trivial things.
Even if you add it all up, it won’t amount to ten million won.
“You’re just going to hit me, the team leader, with this? Did I commit such a big sin? If you’re going to catch me with this, you should hit all the other teams too!”
That was also true.
Because in this Taesung Well-being, where embezzlement is passively tolerated by any team, there has never been a single team that has done well.
But from Chae Kyung-jun’s perspective, it was an absurd statement.
“Can I do it because everyone else is doing it?”
“It’s not that you can do it, but why are you leaving the other teams alone? And why are you sending this guy to embarrass me?”
His subordinates and other people’s team members are watching.
In such a situation, being questioned by a newcomer was an insult.
He was the team leader. So it would have been polite to call him in advance and give him a warning or send a higher-up, like a section chief, to inform him.
How can you send a newbie with a knife for this kind of work?
“Team Leader, the role of the finance department is to correct misused company funds. Seniority doesn’t matter. I’m here to work as a finance department employee.”
“So what did I do so wrong?”
The team leader’s lips trembled in insult.
Just for something like this.
“What did I do so wrong? How about this?”
Chae Kyung-jun took out another file, his mouth watering.
Emergency expenses.
That’s what it said on the cover.
“This file contains the emergency funds paid by the head office to each business unit over the past year. When I subtracted the actual emergency funds used, I ended up with an empty amount without any receipts.”
Chae Kyung-jun opened the file.
Most notably, looking at the first document, there was a record of emergency funds paid on March 1st.
From 500,000 won to 1 million won per business depending on size.
One of those businesses received 500,000 won and used 200,000 won.
There was 300,000 won left, but the money was not returned to the head office.
Instead, all that was attached was a form called ‘Emergency Expenses Statement’ and the team leader’s signature.
“Where did all the money go that didn’t come back to headquarters?”
The team leader felt like yelling.
Got it. Got it big.
No, I find it strange that it hasn’t caught on until now.
But that doesn’t mean we can give up here.
The team leader decided to just grab it.
That was all he could do now.
“Don’t you know what emergency funds are? Food prices can suddenly increase. There may be spoiled ingredients. In such cases, it’s money given to you to buy and use in a hurry. Of course, since you spent it in a hurry, you probably didn’t get a receipt.”
“You said you couldn’t get 300,000 to 500,000 won every month?”
“Don’t you know anything about practical matters? Where in the field do you go to take care of such things one by one!”
“Then, please disclose the bankbook in the team leader’s name. If you are confident.”
A cold sweat ran down the back of the team leader’s neck.
