[Episode 157] Siwoo Lee’s stubbornness

[What happened on a road in Suwon today is causing outrage among many people. Han Mo was arrested on charges of swinging a golf club while parked in the middle of the road because a bus blocked it. Meanwhile, as it became known that the righteous person who helped the bus driver was the aunt of Nuri Recycling, many people are paying attention.]

Si-woo Lee, who was watching the news on the 9 p.m. news, turned off the TV.

“Would you like to check every news that comes out?”

“You are proud. How good is it?”

After dinner, Shin Ae-ra, who came to Si-woo’s house, smiled and checked her phone.

What happened today was widely reported.

The fact that the assailant was the son of Taesan Construction was not highlighted, but the identity of Si-woo Lee who helped.

“Aren’t you going home?”

“I’m going to sleep today. I feel tired.”

Seeing Ae-ra Shin lying down on the sofa, Si-woo shook her head.

All the sofas were occupied by Shin Ae-ra, so he sat down on the floor.

“Your grandfather will be worried.”

“Aren’t you going to worry? I’m with you, so why worry?”

She was lying in comfortable clothes, taken from Siwoo Lee, and slowly closed her eyes.

“If I sleep here, will my back hurt tomorrow? Go and sleep.”

“Hey, I’m tired. I don’t even want to get up.”

“It doesn’t make sense.”

Si-woo Lee gave a faint smile and hugged Shin Ae-ra.

“Are you ready to go to work?”

The next day, as usual, Si-woo Lee woke up early in the morning and woke up Shin Ae-ra.

“Ugh… … .”

“Am I going first?”

“Ugh… … .”

No matter how much he woke up, Siwoo Lee had no choice but to leave the house alone.

It worked well enough without worrying about Lee Si-woo, who is now enjoying it.

Due to the nature of junk shops that have to open early in the morning, employees set their turn and went to work early.

Upon entering the office, Kim Jung-nan was yawning and drinking coffee.

“Give me a drink, too, boss.”

“Are you out? Of course you have to ride it.”

Kim Jeong-nan poured coffee into Lee Si-woo’s special cup and handed it over.

It was a relaxing morning after a long time.

Because of the sunrise landscape, we had to fight from the morning until last week.

“It’s relaxed.”

“Iknow, right. Thinking about the hardships I’ve had with sunrise landscaping… ha… … .”

“I’m glad it ended well. I reviewed reports related to promotions. But can I promote an employee who is six months old to acting?”

Originally, Siwoo Lee had to make a separate judgment after seeing the employees working.

However, as the number of employees increased, Siwoo Lee could not keep an eye on that many people.

“I’m a newcomer with a good job and, above all, a special experience. Even if you are old and promoted to assistant manager, there will be no objection from other employees.”

“Hmm, let’s meet face to face later. As Manager Kim said, talented employees should take action.”

Kim Jong-nan still had the right to be in charge of personnel at the site.

Most of the promotions were decided according to Kim Jong-Nan’s will.

She has been working in the field for quite some time and has a good eye for people.

“Thank you.”

“Tell me there is no meeting this morning. I want to move my body a little bit after a long time.”

“yes. I will pass it on to the directors.”

“I’m rooting for you.”

Siwoo Lee, who left the office with a light footstep, opened the car door.

There was a separate space for Lee Si-woo, created with great care by Moon Jae-shin.

The current material storage area was being managed well by Moon Jae-shin.

Due to work at sunrise landscaping, I only created scrap metal and couldn’t do anything else.

So it’s time to do the procrastination.

Although I was in the CEO position, I had to move busier than any other staff member.

‘It will pile up like a mountain. Because I haven’t been able to extract it for nearly a month.’

Perhaps even if Nuri grows bigger, Siwoo Lee will never be able to back down from the front line.

Even because of his abilities, Siwoo Lee could not rest.

Siwoo Lee got into the car and headed to the secret space in the south.

Suddenly, a huge warehouse was seen.

When I took a security card and went inside, I was revealed to Siwoo’s space.

‘Did the vice president care?’

A place that had been a mess because it hadn’t been organized for a while has been transformed into a neat place.

When Si-Woo Lee moved outside, Jae-Shin Moon took on the role of holding the dagger inside.

Siwoo Lee, who looked at the waste piled up like a mountain in the corner of the warehouse, rolled up his sleeves.

‘My own place, here you can do anything without notice.’

Siwoo Lee turned off the CCTV installed for security reasons and did a light stretch.

He muttered to himself as he unpacked and walked to the pile of waste.

‘Classification, vinyl.’

Today, I decided to extract mainly vinyl.

There are two main raw materials from vinyl.

One was oil and the other was plastic crystals.

There are also different types of plastic.

The raw material used for the waste bottle and the raw material used for the cap were also different.

Although it is plastic, it is PP material that can be recycled at an expensive price.

Commonly recyclable plastics were called ‘moulins’.

It is derived from the meaning of

There are PP and PE. PP is a brittle material, but PE is a material with excellent elasticity.

PP was about 300 won per kilo, PE was about 350 won.

‘Among vinyl, transparent vinyl is mainly made of PE.’

It was knowledge that was naturally learned while working as a junk dealer.

However, recycling was so complex and profound that it was difficult for a general junk store owner to memorize them all.

There are different types of plastic, and there are different types of paper.

When you think of junk food, you usually think of scrap, scrap iron, and non-ferrous metal.

But the real money for those who do waste was plastic.

If you choose correctly, you can get a price similar to scrap metal.

When Siwoo Lee reached out his hand, the plastic was sorted from the waste pile.

With a flashing light, the sorted waste plastics appeared.

‘extraction. PE decision.’

Light was emitted from the vinyl made of PE material, and small grains appeared on one side.

Then, Moon Jae-shin filled the huge plastic bucket he had prepared in advance with the remaining plastic.

‘Extract, oil.’

The amount of oil that can be extracted from 1 ton of vinyl is not much.

Although it is cumbersome, you have to put the plastic in the barrel and extract the oil.

Otherwise, it will all seep into the floor.

After finishing the repetitive work, Siwoo sighed and checked the time.

’12:32. Is it lunchtime already?’

Si-woo Lee, looking at the messy work clothes, came out of the secret space.

I re-enabled security and took off my work clothes.

When a clean car gets dirty, it means someone has to suffer.

Washing the car often wasn’t good either.

Siwoo Lee parked his car in the parking lot and put his dirty work clothes on his arm.

When we headed to the laundry room, quite a few staff stood in line to do the laundry, carrying work clothes they had worn for several days.

“Are you here, sir?”

“The weather is nice. Do you have a lot of work to do today?”

“Not that many.”

A place where washing machines supplied to Jehu Electronics are listed.

A laundry room was created to create a pleasant environment for employees.

It was a place where the latest washing machine and dryer were installed.

“Have you eaten?”

“yes. I came to eat at 12 and do laundry.”

Si-woo Lee accepted the greetings of the staff one by one.

Then, as I stood in the back row, one of the first staff members asked carefully.

“If you have anything to do, leave it to us.”

“Thank you for your words, but you have to wash your work clothes yourself.”

I’m in a high position, so is it okay to have someone else do it?

This mindset was as if it had rotted away.

The moment Lee Si-woo, the CEO himself, gave the employees an errand without hesitation, it was obvious that the employees below would immediately follow.

To prevent this, you had to do it yourself.

After eating, Siwoo Lee scratched his head when he saw that the employees were gathering in the laundry room one by one.

“Looks like there is not enough space in the laundry room.”

The number of washing machines installed here is 50, and the dryers are also arranged in the same number.

Considering that the number of employees working at this shredding plant is over 100, it was also true that the laundry room lacked space.

“It must have rained yesterday.”

“Sir, I’m sorry, but please return my work clothes. It seems that I have an urgent need to meet Director Jin Eun-soo.”

Siwoo Lee did not entrust his work to others.

But with a face that had something urgent to do, a man named Daeri smiled faintly.

Then he politely accepted Siwoo Lee’s work clothes.

“I’m just asking for you today!”

“yes. I will wash it and leave it in the representative room.”

When Siwoo Lee left the laundry room, the employee who offered to return his work clothes scratched his head.

“I hope the CEO will come to run the washing machine himself.”

“It’s a sight we see often. You must be amazed that you haven’t worked for Nuri for a while now.”

“But there aren’t that many things that the CEO has to deal with in a hurry, right?”

“Perhaps he went to order the extension of the laundry room. Every rainy day the laundry room turns into a battlefield. And don’t just look at the simplistic look. Is there no employee busier than the CEO in this Nuri?”

Seo-jun, who looked down at Si-woo Lee’s messy work clothes, nodded.

No matter how busy an employee was, it could not be compared with Siwoo Lee’s workload.

* * *

Jin Eun-soo, who returned to her seat after lunch, was drinking coffee leisurely.

At that moment, the door to the office swung open and Siwoo Lee rushed in.

“Director Jin Eun-soo!”

Jin Eun-soo put down the coffee cup in his hand as he rushed to the scene calling his name in a hurry.

“Yes, sir.”

“We are expanding the laundry room.”

“… Did you see it? I was still writing a report on the expansion of the laundry room.”

“Did you? Measure your budget and proceed immediately. You don’t have to take my payments.”

The well-being of the employees was important.

In particular, since it was a waste site that disposes of garbage, it had to be more sensitive to cleanliness.

Jin Eun-su also felt that the laundry room was running out of space.

“I know. But did you have lunch?”

“Not yet. Waiting in the laundry room… Let’s go eat now.”

“So I told you that we should arrange a dedicated washing machine and dryer for you.”

“There is no such thing as a privilege to be a representative.”

It was an ironic rule that I had been emphasizing.

No one who works at Nuri can enjoy privileges in a way that other employees do.

Even if it is representative.

Shi-woo’s expression changed seriously.

who will dry

The directors also had no idea what to do when Si-woo Lee was stubborn.

“Ha, there is a laundry room at home, so if you want to do it, do it at home.”

“You can’t go home on the way to work.”

This is how my father taught me to learn from the beginning.

The private space and the work space should be separated.

No matter how close you work to your home, no matter what happens, you should not enter while working.

“Who is going to stop you? We will proceed with the expansion of the laundry room immediately. I will have to order a new washer and dryer.”

“I beg you. Then I’ll go eat!”

Ji Hyeon-soo, who was sitting next to Si-woo Lee, who caused a commotion and left, showed a smile.

“You don’t really change for the CEO, sir.”

“So that’s it. As Nuri grows, the CEO should also benefit, but you said that you should never raise your salary… … .”

“There is a reason why the employees respect the CEO. But did the real CEO say that the salary cannot be increased?”

Jin Eun-soo let out a deep sigh at Ji Hyun-soo’s eyes full of surprise.

“No, there are no people who should raise their salaries, so how do they raise the salaries of executives? Oh, it’s frustrating.”

Surprisingly, Siwoo Lee was not greedy for wealth.

It’s a house, it didn’t disappear unless Nuri disappeared.

There was enough money for a car, a house, and living alone.

“By the way, didn’t the CEO give permission for the employee’s salary increase?”

“Now, we have to raise the salaries of our employees, but the CEO says we can’t be so resolute. There is a procedure.”

“but… If the busiest CEO doesn’t accept the salary increase, other employees will also notice.”

“Employees who don’t know anything will like it when they say their salaries go up. But, wouldn’t it be the executives who should pay attention?”

Currently, Siwoo Lee’s fortune was very simple.

Except for the land where Nuri Steel’s headquarters is located, all land and buildings are maintained under Nuri’s name.

‘Even that, he said that as the expansion proceeds, the names of all lands will be changed to the Nuri name… … .’

Jin Eun-soo’s eyes twinkled as if she had made a decision.

The land left by Lee Do-woon must be maintained in the name of Si-woo Lee.
