Episode 11: Success Today Too
There was also a benefit to not wearing glasses when going to the bathroom. My face in the mirror looked a little better.
What is this?
It’s almost like I’ve put on a corrective posterior filter.
He is really handsome.
If Aliotta had heard, she would have said something. Anyway, the guy is on my desk.
I returned with a lighter body and a more handsome face and opened the office door. That was it.
“uh?!”
“uh?!”
A sound burst out of Na Kang-jin and I at the same time.
What is that person?
Na Kang-jin was looking around the office with his mouth wide open while wearing an aliota.
“What are you doing now?”
“Huh? The sword is here?”
Na Kang-jin walked towards me. No, he tried to walk. But he soon lost his balance and staggered, barely stopping after leaning on the desk of the executive officer next to him, Mr. Ki So-young.
“What is it? Why are you acting like this in someone else’s office, wearing someone else’s glasses?”
“Oh, my. There were glasses on the desk, so I just tried them on.”
“So why are you wearing someone else’s glasses? That’s embezzlement.”
“Oh, there. It’s really tight.”
Na Kang-jin took off his glasses and handed them to me.
Na Kang-jin massaged his eyes with his fingers and shook his head.
“I didn’t see the sword like that, but I guess your eyesight is really bad? When you put on your glasses, your vision starts spinning really fast.”
“It’s better than being stupid.”
In that moment, Na Kang-jin’s face turned fierce.
“Is that what you wanted me to hear just now?”
“No. I thought you said that for stupid people.”
“Hey! You talk too much… … .”
When Na Kang-jin was putting his hands on my waist and getting angry at me while blowing his breath out, a loud noise was suddenly heard from behind.
“Eww~! I’m done~!”
“Oh, that’s a surprise!”
Wi Jun-woo was shouting “Manse!” while wearing very crumpled clothes and with a look of hollowness under his eyes.
“It’s all done, Inspector!”
“Oh. Luspect!”
Na Kang-jin looked back and forth between Wi Jun-woo, who was wiping his eyes with a proud face, and me, who was nodding and applauding.
“This office doesn’t have any proper people. Shit.”
Na Kang-jin suddenly turned around, opened the door by himself, and went out.
As he watched the door slam shut, officer Ki So-young quietly raised one hand.
“It’s here.”
* * *
Wi Jun-woo and Ki So-young were moving documents onto a wheeled hand cart.
“What is that?”
“I’m going to move to the director’s office now. Are you going to the director’s office now, too?”
“Oh, I see. It’s meeting time again.”
“Let’s go together. We’ll just move this and come back.”
Why are there so many meetings?
Wi Jun-woo and Ki So-young took the lead, pulling a hand cart loaded with documents.
He followed behind quietly and asked Aliota.
‘Are you okay?’
[Of course it’s okay. I was a bit surprised to see someone else wearing glasses all of a sudden.]
‘Did Na Kang-jin notice you?’
[No. Anyway, only one person can use it if I’m synchronized. Even if I wear glasses, it’s useless unless I have a bright light.]
‘Thank goodness. I was scared that you might get caught by Na Kang-jin again.’
[Hey, I have hair too. I wouldn’t get caught that easily.]
‘What are you talking about? Don’t you remember when I first put on glasses? You made a fuss by saying ‘Hello! Welcome!’ to someone who didn’t even register as a user, let alone synchronize.’
[That’s because I was in test drive mode.]
‘And then, after all that, he started mumbling so naturally about how he was an artificial intelligence and what its functions were like?’
Aliotta coughed briefly and then changed the subject.
[Anyway. When Na Kang-jin wore glasses, I didn’t even open my mouth. And just in case, I turned the glasses into a magnifying glass. So that I couldn’t see well.]
Somehow. That’s why Na Kang-jin stumbled and said those words.
[I was able to avoid a momentary crisis with my brilliant wit.]
Anyway, stop showing off.
‘It might be a bit dangerous to leave your glasses behind.’
[That’s right. There’s also the risk of it being lost or stolen. If you knew how much it cost, you’d probably be shocked.]
‘But that doesn’t mean I can just use you.’
[Just write it down and go to the bathroom. Why are you so nervous about something like this?]
‘What a surprise, Inma.’
[Then, when Hyungwang goes to the bathroom, I will close my eyes. That will be fine, right?]
“You should also stop talking nonsense.”
Wi Jun-woo, who was walking in front with Mr. Kiso Young, turned his head.
“Oh, no, sir. You misunderstood. This is, I, uh… … . Oh, I’m talking about my friend. A friend. Haha. Ha.”
what.
Did you curse at me?
“I’m going to go. I’m going to be late for the meeting.”
Wi Jun-woo observed me for a moment and then started walking again.
[I’m really closing my eyes? Oh, why can’t I trust what people say?]
‘That’s because you’re not human.’
Aliota let out a deep sigh and opened her mouth as if she had no choice.
[Then, from now on, take off your glasses and put them in your pocket. The moment you take off your glasses and fold the temples, I immediately go into power-saving mode. All external inputs are blocked.]
Okay, let’s do that, okay?
* * *
“You’re the youngest so you’re the last to arrive?”
As soon as I entered the manager’s office, Na Kang-jin, who was already sitting on the sofa, started harassing me. Na Kang-jin and Kim Hyeon-cheol were already sitting in their seats.
“What do you mean ‘latest’? The manager hasn’t even arrived yet.”
“Once you set a meeting time, you have to stick to it. What are you going to do if you come this late? Your mental state is… … .”
“Oh, over there. You can leave it over there. Manager, Soyoung. Thank you for your hard work.”
I bowed to Wi Jun-woo and Ki So-young as they moved the documents and left the office.
I’m telling you, I’m such a polite person.
“Hey, you! You cut me off while my senior was talking. Huh?”
“Hey, it’s not that I interrupted you, it’s just that our timing was off.”
“This kid!”
Na Kang-jin gets up from his seat in anger.
I also stood up from my seat.
Oh, no. I haven’t even sat down yet. Wait. Come to think of it, you’re nagging at someone who hasn’t even sat down yet?
Thinking about it makes me mad.
I pushed my face right into Na Kang-jin’s.
“Both of you calm down. The manager will be here soon. What are you doing?”
As the atmosphere between the two of us became tense, the polite senior Kim Hyeon-cheol stopped us. At that moment, the door opened and Manager Jang Gi-tae came in.
“Oh my, everyone’s here. The manager keeps nagging, nagging like crazy. Sorry I’m late.”
“It’s okay, boss.”
Na Kang-jin sat down, shaking off the front of his clothes for no reason. He glared at me.
I frowned and looked at Manager Jang Gi-tae.
“Once you set a meeting time, you have to stick to it. What are you going to do if you come this late? Your mental state is… … .”
“What, what is it?”
“Hey! You have a habit of talking to the manager!”
Everyone was looking at me with surprised eyes and dumbfounded.
I smiled faintly at the astonished Chief Jang Gi-tae.
“… … said. My senior scolded me a little while ago. I was a little late for the meeting.”
“… … .”
Chief Jang Gi-tae, who was at a loss for words, turned his gaze directly to Na Kang-jin. Na Kang-jin waved his hands violently.
“Uh, I just told that guy… … .”
I bowed my head deeply to Na Kang-jin and apologized loudly.
“I won’t be late next time! What my senior said is right. I shouldn’t be late for a meeting.”
“Hey, Sword! Why don’t you shut your mouth?”
“Your mental state is deteriorating. How dare you be late for the meeting!”
“Do Hyun-kwang!”
“Yes? Why?”
Na Kang-jin suddenly stood up from his seat.
Hey, you’ve been up a lot today.
Na Kang-jin looked back and forth between me and Manager Jang Gi-tae, then stuttered as if he was flustered.
“Hey, Inma. Well, that’s right. People can be a little late to meetings and stuff.”
“Oh. Is that so?”
“Yeah. Well… … If someone has a reason, they might be a little late. Our branch office isn’t that tight.”
I said with a grin.
“Thank you for your kindness. Hehe.”
“That… … yeah.”
As Na Kang-jin sat down, Chief Jang Gi-tae also let out a deep breath. He placed a hand on his chest as if trying to calm his startled heart, and opened his mouth slightly while looking at Na Kang-jin.
“… … I should thank you for being so lenient on me.”
“Oh, no, sir. What did I say… …”
Leaving Na Kang-jin, who was sweating profusely in embarrassment, Director Jang Gi-tae pulled the case files placed in the center of the table toward him.
“Okay, it’s late, let’s get started right away.”
Chief Jang Gi-tae began to distribute the newly received cases to each of us.
“This, I’m a pro. This and this, let’s see. Kim is a pro. This one, I guess Dogum can take care of it.”
“Put the theft case on me! I’ll do it all!”
Maybe it was because he got caught in the last ‘bracken fern theft’ incident. Among the cases that came in this time, Na Kang-jin seemed ready to take all the thefts.
There’s no guarantee that another case will emerge there like last time.
That’s why I can’t even drink water in front of the kids.
While I was clicking my tongue softly, Aliotta asked me.
[I have a question, Hyungwang.]
‘What is it?’
[Why are other inspectors ‘professionals’, but Hyungwang is a ‘sword’?]
Hmm. Really?
I’ve never really wondered about that, but that’s a very good point.
I guess I’ll have to ask Wi Jun-woo later.
“And, I’m sorry for bringing up the same topic again. Let’s reduce the number of unresolved cases, okay? The number of unresolved cases in the county is the highest in the country, first! There’s nothing else to be first about, is this something you’re first in?”
“sorry.”
As Senior Kim Hyeon-cheol bowed his head, Manager Jang Gi-tae waved his hand.
“What is Pro Kim sorry about? It’s that guy who should be sorry.”
“Me?”
“okay.”
“I finished all the cases I was assigned to.”
At my words, Manager Jang Gi-tae opened his eyes wide.
“You’re done with it?”
“yes.”
“Wasn’t that almost 200?”
“There were 198 cases in total.”
“And you finished it all? In just a week?”
I finished it in two days. Wi Jun-woo finished it in five days, including the weekend, by finding and organizing the related materials.
The face of Director Jang Gi-tae, who was looking at me, became slightly cautious.
“A sword, right?”
“What is it?”
“You didn’t just throw away the case files, did you? Shouldn’t you go through the shredder and look through them? Those are all cases with serial numbers, swords. You shouldn’t just throw them away.”
“You too, sir. Do I look like that kind of person?”
“huh.”
Chief Jang Gi-tae’s voice was quite firm.
“You seem like the kind of person that would do that. And you’re more than capable of doing that.”
“I told you, it’s really all over.”
“okay?”
After thinking for a moment, Manager Jang Ki-tae opened his laptop and logged onto the company intranet. Clicking the mouse here and there, Manager Jang Ki-tae soon shouted.
“What the heck! There are still 198 unresolved cases under Do Hyeon-gwang! Even if you lie!”
“Hey, it’s so frustrating.”
When I didn’t flinch when he yelled at me, but instead just snickered, Manager Jang Gi-tae clenched his fist.
“Sir, if I finish this case, is that really the end?”
“Of course not.”
He waved his hand as if to tell me not to make a big deal out of it.
“What if the sword officer decides to suspend prosecution without even reading the case files properly? I have to read and confirm everything.”
“That’s right. I’ve finished everything, but it still needs to be approved by the manager.”
Director Jang Gi-tae tilted his head.
“Then where are the payment documents?”
“hey.”
I proudly extended my arm and pointed to the pile of paperwork next to the manager’s desk. He probably hadn’t noticed it because he had arrived late into the conference room.
Manager Jang Gi-tae slowly turned his head. And the moment he checked the desk, a twitch occurred at the corner of his eye.
It’s a mountain.
No, that’s a bit of an exaggeration.
Of course, how could a mountain come into the office?
That’s it.
okay.
It’s just the size of a mound, a mound.
The plump bump is just the size of a tomb.
‘Is that my grave?’
His eyes grew moist as he looked at the mountain of documents.
“Please hurry up and settle this, manager.”
“No, I have to pass on the work little by little. If I pass it on all at once like this.”
“What are you talking about? We need to finish this quickly so that the number of pending cases in our branch office can decrease.”
“No matter what.”
“There’s nothing else to be number one about, like being number one in the country in terms of the number of unsolved cases? Huh? It’s all up to you, Chief.”
“No, this guy?”
“Would three days be enough? No. If you order a packed lunch and put a bowl next to you, wouldn’t two days be enough?
“Hey, hey! Hey! You get out now! Get out!”
In the end, Chief Jang Gi-tae grabbed the back of his neck and shouted.
My own secret to easily escaping from boring manager’s office meetings.
Success today too.
Woohoohoo.
