Time Mansour - Chapter 118

Episode 118: The tooth that was aching fell out

-Four facilities in Sacheon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do manipulated salary levels by forging or falsifying the seals on career certificates.

I rest my chin on my hand and look at the monitor screen.

“Somehow. This is why I can’t find the article.”

He muttered to himself and dragged the mouse cursor down.

There is only one article, and most importantly, the name of the facility is not mentioned in the article.

So, when I searched by facility name, no related articles came up.

It was a major embezzlement case involving the corporate president and facility manager.

‘I guess the reporters felt it was a bit weak.’

If there had been an issue such as abuse of the disabled or sexual violence, it would have become a bigger issue if the names of the facilities had been disclosed.

It was a buried incident because it did not suit the tastes of the knights. However, it was not a light matter.

All personnel expenses for residential facilities for the disabled came from government subsidies.

Aiming for that subsidy? Several facilities within a single corporation systematically falsified career certificates.

I don’t know the exact details, but it seems like it didn’t take long for the local government to conduct its own audit.

They even say that there are employees who only register as life guidance counselors within the facility but do not work at all.

‘Probably Mr. Jang is one of those people.’

I leaned back in my chair and stared into space.

“Ugh.”

I found the cause of the problem and I even know how to fix it.

however.

Why am I sighing?

What should I say… I didn’t feel refreshed.

When you find a bug in software, it’s a huge relief.

Oddly enough, that wasn’t the case with people.

I guess so.

I guess I’m a heavenly developer.

**

To solve the problem that had been piling up, I headed to the facility.

Social workers who have been busy since morning. They bowed their heads slightly to say hello, crossed the living room, and entered the office.

When I opened the door and went inside, Mr. Jang was already in the office.

Three people, me, Mr. Jang, and the center director, gathered in one space.

“Oh my. I’m so busy right now, why did you call me?”

A frowning expression as always.

Mr. Jang is a person whose smile has completely disappeared from his face.

What kind of environment did you live in that you forgot how to smile?

Every time I see Mr. Jang, I feel sorry rather than angry.

“Speak quickly. You know we have a lot to do in the morning.”

While listening to Mr. Jang’s annoyance, I looked around for a moment.

I noticed that the center director was trying hard to suppress his anger.

No matter how I look at it, whenever the center director speaks, the anger I’ve been barely holding back seems like it’s going to explode.

“Mr. Jang. It’s about your career. Why didn’t you tell me?”

I cautiously floated the boat first.

“Huh? Why my career?”

“Do you really not know what I’m talking about?”

“Wh. What are you talking about!”

Mr. Jang took a step back, looking annoyed.

Mr. Jang’s appearance is more shameless than expected.

While I was looking at that sight, I thought for a moment.

At that moment, suddenly.

“We will check everything and let you know.”

The center director opened his mouth.

I think I said I would speak as calmly as possible.

still.

It was obvious that he was suppressing his anger.

“Seo. No way. You’re not suspecting me of falsifying my resume, are you? Wow. This is really unbelievable.”

Mr. Jang gets angry with exaggerated gestures.

Sweat formed on his forehead.

Although he said no with his mouth, his eyes were shaking.

“I think you heard something strange somewhere. Why would I lie about my career? Huh? Just to get a raise?”

Mr. Jang’s wife is talking a lot.

“So you’re saying that you really didn’t forge it?”

“Of course. It’s exactly as it says on the resume.”

It continues to come out with confidence.

We really couldn’t communicate.

I was just trying to find out what happened.

I didn’t want to do the forgery, but the manager of my previous facility may have forced me to do it.

however.

“Forcing someone like this without any evidence is all bullying. Bullying.”

Mr. Jang strongly denied it.

There was no use in talking further.

I shook my head toward the center director.

The center director confirmed my intention and nodded.

“I got all the answers from the city hall.”

“At City Hall? Wow. This is ridiculous. You believe what City Hall says, but you don’t believe what I say?”

He is flustered and is talking nonsense. He probably doesn’t even know what he is talking about.

Okay. Okay. Saying more would only make my mouth hurt.

so.

“Let’s stop. I don’t think we need to talk any further here. Let’s talk about the rest in court.”

I answered firmly.

“And I’ll send you the remaining salary within a week.”

The center director added flesh to my words.

A flushed face.

Mr. Jang’s heavy breathing fills the office.

Looking at Mr. Jang, who was still standing there, angry.

“You should go now. You said you were busy.”

I gestured for him to leave quickly.

“Oh, dear. Just stop. I won’t do it because it’s so beggarly.”

Mr. Jang turned his back in annoyance.

bang.

The door closed with a loud bang.

I looked at the closed door with a bitter expression.

As expected, it wasn’t very cool.

When you have a tooth pulled out, your gums swell.

It will gradually heal as time passes.

But it still hurt right now.

**

Mr. Jang quit.

A few more days passed since then.

The number of days I went to the facility gradually decreased.

This is good news.

I was just a landlord.

There was nothing good that could come from me interfering with the facility as I am not a social welfare expert.

So I returned to my original life.

A repetitive day of working out, cleaning, and coding.

For the past few days, everyday life has continued as normal.

It’s been a long time since I’ve heard from this manager.

Because I didn’t say anything else.

I thought he just called me because he was bored like usual, and I came up to Seoul.

When I actually met Director Lee face to face.

“Hey, Mr. Director? What are you thinking?”

Even at a glance, it seemed like something was wrong.

Director Lee’s expression was dark today.

“Ah. No.”

“You won’t be able to say that when you look in the mirror. Your expression is really bad right now.”

“No. What about Youngjun? Have you taken care of all the things that have been bothering you lately?”

“Yes. Almost.”

That’s fortunate. The director laughed at my answer.

There is still worry in the laughter.

What the hell happened? I tilted my head and looked at the director.

I’m resting right now, so it can’t be a work-related issue.

I don’t think it’s a family problem.

then.

It’s a guy.

Did you end up meeting someone?

Well, I should meet people and do things when I have free time like now.

It seems like something isn’t working out well.

I wish I could give you some advice.

It’s a feeling I don’t know much about.

I couldn’t say anything rashly and was just observing the atmosphere.

suddenly.

“Why are you giggling, Youngjun?”

The manager looked at me with a serious expression. Then he slowly started to distance himself from me.

“Did I… laugh?”

“Yes. I just laughed so hard.”

Originally, he had no talent for hiding his facial expressions.

Because I feel like you already know what I’m thinking.

“Are you a guy? What’s going well for you?”

I just asked honestly.

“yes?”

The manager looked at me with an expression that said he didn’t understand English.

“You seem to have some kind of problem. I thought it was a guy problem. No?”

“Huh? Oh! What am I saying? No. I’m at home all day, so who do I meet?”

“Huh? Really? What’s going on? Is there something to worry about when you’re just at home?”

“Oh my. It’s not my problem. It’s Youngjun’s problem. I was wondering whether I should bring it up or not, but it seems like Youngjun has no idea.”

My job? I tilted my head at the director’s words.

“Youngjun, haven’t you been checking the community lately?”

“Yes. Well, I only visit overseas developer communities occasionally, and I don’t really look at domestic communities.”

The director sighed deeply at my answer and carefully turned on his cell phone.

“A crazy guy has fallen for Youngjun.”

**

-That guy only pretends to be nice on the outside. Anyone who’s worked with him would know. He interferes with everything, and he’s even verbally abusive and bossy. He’s just the worst of people.

This is the post that the manager showed me. My name was in the title.

-What the hell is a good deed? He’s taking a shit. It’s all a show. I can’t stand seeing him bragging about how much money he has. When I meet him in person, all my pride falls away.

After checking a few posts, I knew who it was.

“Because there’s only one person who’s ever bragged about how rich I am.”

There were more than one or two community posts slandering me.

Almost every community was plastered with it.

And it seemed like almost all of them were written by one person.

I guess he quit his facility job and is living in the other world.

You’ve written a lot in the community. You’ve written so much that it’s amazing.

“Even this is not all. If you include comments, it is impossible to narrow it down.”

“I guess you haven’t found a company yet. It looks like you have some time to spare.”

“Do you know anyone? Is there anyone else you suspect?”

“Yes. The person who comes to mind is someone who worked at the facility for a short time before. I think it’s probably him.”

“Okay. Then it’ll be easy. Let’s start with the lawsuit.”

The manager takes out a business card and places it on the table.

“This person is a specialist in malicious comments.”

“··· Thank you. There was no need to go that far.”

“No. I’m saying this because I’m angry.

The manager frowned.

Since I work in the entertainment industry, I’ve probably seen even more inflammatory comments than this.

So I guess I should get used to it, but I still get angry.

“But Youngjun, aren’t you angry?”

I laughed awkwardly at the director’s words.

Honestly, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t angry.

I thought I spoke to Mr. Jang in the most positive way possible.

Going to court was just talk. No actual charges were filed.

however.

This is a community post.

This is such a petty revenge.

So I decided to try the same method.

Because a mad dog must be fought with another mad dog.

Because that’s the correct answer.

**

Another world.

In that world full of fantasy and adventure, fighting power was directly proportional to time.

Since I’m more famous than the center director, I think they intentionally targeted me.

“Mr. Jang, you chose the wrong opponent.”

I turned on the computer while muttering.

Glance. I see that my sister’s room door is closed.

Knock knock. Knock knock.

I started tapping away at the keyboard.

Real problems are dealt with by real laws.

In this world, things have to be done this way.

I searched my name and found all the articles that were suspected to be by Mr. Jang.

I found everything from the most recent posts to the ones from a few days ago.

And below that.

I posted several long comments of 2500 characters each.

To avoid legal issues, I just wrote whatever came to mind.

This comment was not intended to persuade Mr. Jang.

‘I know, because I did it once before.’

This was a world where logic and reason were not necessary.

just.

To the point where I could never write again.

Just make it really boring.

That was enough.
