Episode 10 Disability leaves aftereffects

Click.

I closed the front door and came into the house.

Bugs are flying around in the messy living room.

match.

Catch small bugs by clapping your palms together as if making a prayer.

Let’s be born in a good place in the next life.

As he muttered like that, he shook his palms.

I can tell summer is here when I see bugs coming out.

I’m starting to think that I should do some cleaning that I’ve been putting off.

however.

“When are you going to finish cleaning this up?”

In one corner of the room, laundry piled up and formed a tomb.

The hair on the floor grew like weeds.

He was lazy and lethargic by nature.

It’s your innate nature.

‘Everything is annoying.’

Sometimes even breathing was a hassle.

If I didn’t have my older sister, I would have lived a miserable life.

Thanks to my older sister, I was able to live while pretending to work hard.

but.

After the funeral.

I’ve become so relaxed that I can feel it.

Desperation.

That desperation was the only talent I had.

Now even that was becoming increasingly faint.

**

As usual, I carry an empty bag.

The empty bag on my shoulder grows heavier with each passing day.

I was climbing the stairs to the first floor with my shoes on.

Just before I started up, I bent my back slightly and put my shoes back on straight.

After finishing getting ready to go to work, I opened the villa door and went outside.

“Turrurr. Turrurr.”

In an empty church, insects worship.

Is it a funeral march?

Or is it a congratulatory song?

The choir’s performance, whose meaning is unknown, spreads beyond the chapel and into the world.

**

Disability always leaves aftereffects.

Office with symptoms of respiratory distress.

In the midst of suffocating silence.

‘Warm. Warm.’

The sound of keyboard keystrokes permeates the office.

The air felt heavier than usual.

There is only one reason why the office atmosphere is gloomy.

There was a lot of work.

After the accident happened, I was so busy trying to recover.

Because of their busy schedules, they were both sensitive to each other.

“Mr. Chae? It’s been a while. Did you have a good time?”

“Uh, sir. I heard from Manager Cho. I’m sorry. I told you there wasn’t any trouble while I was away. Just call me.”

As soon as I got back from vacation.

Deputy Chae is analyzing the cause without even knowing English.

Even my tanned face after a good rest makes me feel a bit sad.

“No, I’m glad you had a good rest. Do you have anything else to share?”

“No… What about you, sir?”

At my question, Manager Chae shakes his head.

But he looked at me with a hopeful look.

But unfortunately, I had no clue either.

“I don’t know. I asked the global team. There have been no cases of similar symptoms in the global team.”

“··· Oh my. My head.”

Manager Chae grabs his head.

Her disheveled hair pokes through her fingers.

It’s worth being stressed.

Because we don’t even know the cause, let alone the solution.

This situation will drag on for a few more weeks.

The deputy stares blankly at the monitor, clutching his head.

Then he lightly tapped the deputy’s shoulder.

“Mr. Chae. There’s nothing I can do about it if I just sit here. How about a cup of coffee to cool my head?”

“Okay. Good idea. Let’s go.”

She let go of the hair she was holding in her hand as if throwing it away.

He got up from his seat without even fixing his messy hair.

A cafe near the center’s main entrance.

widely.

As soon as I put the coffee on the tray down in front of the waiter.

“Director, I’m really sorry. You must have had a hard time while I was away.”

Manager Chae bows his head slightly once again.

“What about hardship? No.”

“No, that’s not true. If I hadn’t been there, I’m sure someone would have done all that work.”

Manager Chae smiles bitterly.

A smile with a strong coffee scent.

Belonging to different companies.

Originally, the British system was supposed to provide replacement manpower.

They didn’t let anyone go, saying that newbies could do the job well too.

Of course, if I made a claim to Daeyoung Systems through sales, they would provide replacement personnel, but I didn’t do that because I knew who would come.

“When I’m not around, you should at least call Manager Hwang.”

“A guy who reads webtoons at a client company? Don’t talk nonsense. If that guy had come, he would have grabbed Manager Cho by the collar and fought him.”

When I heard the word Manager Hwang, I was startled and asked back.

He is a person who lacks even the basic attitude, let alone the ability to be a technician.

Moreover, he was very stubborn and difficult to control.

It would be better if the new recruits just listened to what I said.

“Oh my. There’s no one I can trust in this company. Thank you. Really. If it weren’t for you, Director, I wouldn’t have been able to rest easy.”

I nodded without realizing it at her words.

As Manager Chae said, there were few colleagues who could be trusted and left with their work.

It wasn’t just a problem for the British system.

I always had to be suspicious of every single line of the developer’s code.

Because the infrastructure team in charge of networks and servers had no will to do the work.

I can’t trust anyone, regardless of the company or team…

huh?

for a moment…

suddenly.

As I was venting my frustration, something suddenly crossed my mind.

“That… that’s the failure analysis log we received. Did the infrastructure team check it?”

“I guess…?”

ah…

Why. Why on earth.

Did you just believe the information I gave you from the infrastructure team?

Since I had a disability while Agent Chae was away, I guess I was out of my mind.

As soon as the thought is finished in your head.

I got up from my seat in a hurry.

“I’m sorry, Manager Chae. I’ll go in first. If I do it right, I think I might be able to find the cause.”

“Huh? What the…”

“I’ll explain later. Just come in slowly. I’ll take care of everything.”

Before Manager Chae could even finish speaking, he was walking briskly, holding the cup.

Dalgeudak. The ice cubes that hadn’t melted yet in the cup were hitting each other and making a sound.

**

Sit down in your office chair and let your excitement settle in.

I hit my face with my hand a few times and came to my senses.

I replicated and deployed 7 containers, and only one of them failed.

This is a disability that has no precedent even globally.

‘That made me even more curious.’

White Soft’s platform products are not unfamiliar even in Korea.

This product has already established itself as a mainstream product overseas.

Although it wasn’t a monopoly, it was still one of the more competitive products.

But aren’t there similar cases all over the world? It wasn’t a common case.

Let’s look at the log carefully again.

No matter how many times I look at it, all 7 containers have the same records.

however···

If this is not a normal operation log.

Then it makes sense.

“Code. Source code!!”

In an office where the oxygen is thin, I unconsciously let out a gasp of air and scream.

At the loud noise, the other employees’ eyes turned to me.

“Director Jeong? What’s wrong?”

Manager Cho, who was standing next to me, also looked at me in surprise.

“I found it. It’s an app issue. I need to find the banking app source code.”

“Is there a part that you can feel? Even if it’s an app issue, it’s too vast to search through the entire app.”

“Answer! Slow response when duplicating.”

“Huh? Then the entire container should fail. It doesn’t make sense for only one of the replicas to fail.”

Manager Cho, reacting to my excited voice, leans his face in and asks me.

I said to Manager Cho with a confident expression.

“No. Not one container, seven. All seven of them didn’t work properly. The error message was entered incorrectly.”

“No way. Even if the message was received incorrectly. The infrastructure team already double-checked… Ah… Shit.”

Manager Cho only realizes what he is saying after he is done talking.

The app was responding slowly and an error occurred.

It only seemed to work properly on screen.

We identified a faulty error message and the infrastructure team checked it carelessly.

In fact, the records show that all seven containers did not function properly.

It’s a mistake.

I was mistaken because all the logs were the same.

I believed only what the infrastructure team said and was crazy about it so I couldn’t check it.

“Are you sure, sir? Then… the meeting this afternoon. Can you prove it before that meeting?”

“It is possible. Even if we cannot modify the source code during that time, we can reproduce the symptoms.”

As I confidently shouted, Manager Cho’s face slowly brightened.

I caught the number.

Manager Cho and I had the same thoughts.

Unfortunately.

than finding a solution.

The fact that they finally caught the development team’s nitpick made us smile even more.

**

In the afternoon, Vice-Chairman Kim and Manager Cho packed up the materials and went down to the conference room.

The employees of Joongang Bank enter the meeting.

While only the company employees remained to guard the office.

Out of the blue.

Director Chun asked me a question.

“But Director Jeong, aren’t you moving?”

I looked at Director Chun again, wondering if he was joking.

The most serious expression on anyone’s face in the world.

Well, there’s no way Director Chun would joke.

“Suddenly? Why are you moving?”

“There are new apartments around the Joongang Bank IT Center that are neat and tidy. The housing prices have also come down a lot, so they are not as expensive as they used to be.”

Anyway.

There is always truth in what Director Chun says.

“Okay. I haven’t even paid off my villa loan yet.”

“Ohdong Villa? Wouldn’t it be better to sell it and move into an apartment? Director Jeong, you’re at an age where you should be thinking about marriage now.”

This is the main point.

There was no desire for achievement or materialism.

Since I didn’t even have any family left, I guess it wouldn’t be strange if I left at any time.

In an instant.

While I was thinking for a moment about how to answer Director Chun’s question.

“No. Director Jeong is not at the age to think about marriage. He is already past that age. At that age, I think we should consider him a non-marriage ideology.”

Agent Chae intervenes.

I barely managed to swallow the words that were about to come out of my mouth without me knowing.

“Huh? The director is single? Well, you don’t really have any hobbies. You don’t travel. You’re not interested in cars or luxury goods.”

“That’s right. I thought you were saving money for the future to buy a house.”

Before I could even answer, the newbies joined in and started talking.

“Oh! By any chance… Director Jeong, do you also have coins!?”

“Hey. Choi Dong-hoon. Are you the director?”

They’re all busy with each other, leaving me in the middle.

I think everyone can take a breather now.

Right. Where did all the people who were just watching me in the office go?

I find myself smiling without realizing it.

The employees had been joking around like that for a long time.

“It’s not like I don’t have any hobbies. Ta-da. This time, my bloodthirsty crew. I’ve burned them all in one go.”

I smiled confidently and thrust my phone between them.

“One. Ten. Hundred. One Million Won??”

“Hundred? Wow! Director Jeong bought this?”

“Wow… They say that stealing late in life is scary.”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

Even Director Chun couldn’t say anything, just looking back and forth between his phone screen and my face.

Red Blue’s concert tickets.

A million-dollar image file was glowing on the LCD of my phone.
