Episode 251 Workshop

Marshall said to Sally.

“Thank you so much, Sally. But I don’t think I can make this decision on my own. I have to change my schedule. I’ll talk to Ashley and get back to you.”

– Of course. Don’t be burdened and just talk.

Marshall felt elated after hanging up the phone with Sally.

‘K-POP and J-POP?’

Marshall didn’t enjoy music much, but his wife-to-be Ashley wasn’t either.

‘Of course, J-POP, and I think we talked about K-POP a little bit last time. What did we say? Was it something like ‘Bang’ or something like ‘Ra’?’

Marshall, who was puzzled, immediately called Ashley. Ashley shouted after hearing Marshall’s story.

– Really? Who’s coming from Korea?

“Well… well. What kind of bang did you say it was?”

-Bang? Whoa. Bang bang, the brothers are coming?

“Bang bang?”

– Yeah. If it ends with a bang, then it’s definitely bang bang. And who else is coming?

“What was that ‘ra’?”

– ‘La’? Are you crazy? Then it’s Kira! Marshall. We have to go. Okay? We have to!

Marshall chuckled at Ashley’s excited voice.

‘I didn’t know I would like it this much, but I guess I have to change my schedule.’

“Okay. I’ll tell Sally. But is that okay? You said you really wanted to go to Fukushima that day, right?”

– Just go early the next morning!

“Is that okay?”

– Of course. My parents said they met at Futama Beach in Fukushima. I really want to go there.

Marshall wanted to do anything Ashley asked.

“Okay. I’ll see if I can take the first train from Tokyo to Fukushima.”

– Thanks, Marshall. But isn’t that too much for Sally? A show ticket and a hotel room.

“Well, I know what gift Sally really wants. I’ll get it for you later, okay?”

– I don’t know what it is, but okay! Please!

Marshall hung up the phone and muttered to himself.

“After all, game AI… I guess I’ll have to do that. I wanted to enjoy my honeymoon a little more, so I think Ashley will understand since I gave her this much as a gift.”

Marshall called Sally the next day.

“Sally, Ashley told me to tell you that she’s definitely going.”

* * *

Sally said, looking at Dojun.

“Thank you very much, but you can’t decide on your own? You should talk it over with Ashley and get back to me.”

“Ah! That’s obvious.”

It was a matter of changing the honeymoon course. Of course, I had to discuss it with my future wife.

‘Please, I hope it ends well.’

Fortunately, I heard from Marshall the next morning.

Sally said with a bright smile.

“Dojun, you want to go to the concert? Ashley said she really liked it and thanked you. She said she’ll definitely repay the favor.”

“okay?”

Dojun laughed brightly.

“That went well.”

“huh!”

Dojun reserved VIP seats and a luxury hotel for the Marshall couple.

‘Oh, and we also need to take care of the participating artists.’

Dojun negotiated with the artists’ agencies to perform on the 10th and make sure they board a flight to Korea on the morning of the 11th.

‘No one should be harmed because of my plan. Those I take, I will definitely bring back.’

Dojun reviewed the plan thoroughly several times.

Of course, there were some who wanted to stay in Japan longer, but Dojun doubled their money and made a contract that they would definitely return to Korea that day.

‘Are you ready for this?’

I reviewed it several times, but it didn’t seem like there would be any problems.

That doesn’t mean nothing happened.

“Employee Kim Joo-yeon is resigning?”

“Yes. They said they would only do the handover in two weeks. It’s really causing trouble until the very end.”

Joo Yong-man, who was with Kim Joo-yeon, sighed and said.

“If I leave in two weeks, will there be any problems with work? What about my successor?”

“Fortunately, we were able to hire someone with experience. We have decided to have him start work next Monday. In addition, since Kim Joo-yeon doesn’t have much work to do, I don’t think there will be any problems with the handover.

“Okay, then do that. But, why are you quitting the company? I bet you won’t have any complaints about your attendance anymore.”

Joo Yong-man spoke in a slightly smaller voice.

“Rumor has it that it’s because of an office romance. I was dating the head of the accounting team, but we broke up a while ago.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes. The accounting manager took a week off because of that. He said he was going on a trip.”

Dojun shook his head.

‘This isn’t something I can help you with.’

“Okay, you can handle it like that. By the way, has Ms. Kim Joo-yeon decided which company to transfer to?”

Usually, when people change jobs, they decide on their next company and then change jobs.

“Yes. It’s called 100 Cent Korea.”

Dojun tilted his head.

“100 Cent Korea?”

“yes.”

Dojun was impressed. He didn’t have many good memories associated with Baeksent.

“Do you have any concerns?”

“Ah. No.”

After that, Joo Yong-man reported a few more things and left the office.

Dojun drummed his fingers on the desk and pondered.

‘Is it a coincidence that Kim Joo-yeon is moving to Baeksent Korea? This is so suspicious. I have to find out.’

Do-jun planted a hacking program on Kim Joo-yeon’s PC through the company messenger.

And at 1 AM, after everyone had left work, Do-jun came back to the company and logged into Kim Joo-yeon’s PC.

‘Hmm… There’s no other trace? It’s disconnected from the outside world and the USB memory stick is disabled.’

Do-jun used his experience hacking the Iranian nuclear facility to disable external USBs.

“Phew. Was my worry for nothing?”

Do-jun got up from Kim Joo-yeon’s seat. But then.

Copycat pointed to a spot on the monitor and scratched it with her front paw.

‘Why is it like this?’

Dojun was surprised and sat back down.

‘What, you found traces of a rat? What kind of rat could it be that managed to get through all the security systems?’

Dojun went straight down to the system level and looked at all the logs.

‘Wait, the mouse USB device was installed? But I already have a mouse device… why is this one being installed again?’

Of course, you could use two mice. But no matter how you looked at it, Kim Joo-yeon only had one mouse.

‘The copycat also caught this new mouse driver.’

Dojun analyzed the mouse driver. It was almost 4 AM when Dojun discovered something strange in the driver.

‘Crazy, I made you send and receive data through the mouse driver!’

The mouse also exchanges information with the PC, but its size is so small that no one pays attention to it.

However, the driver on Kim Joo-yeon’s PC had been changed to allow for an incredibly large amount of data to be transferred.

Dojun noticed it instinctively.

‘This is no ordinary driver. The person who made this is no ordinary person. At least it’s anime-level.’

There was only one way for Kim Joo-yeon to meet a programmer like Annie.

‘I approached it from 100 cents.’

Only then did Do-jun understand why Kim Joo-yeon had resigned.

‘You’ve done some work.’

Do-jun looked through the data on Kim Joo-yeon’s computer.

‘Fortunately, there is no program or art material. It must have been because Kim Joo-yeon didn’t have access to it. The problem is the plan. Since they were part of the planning team, they had access to all the plans. If this is the case, then a significant portion of the plan must have been leaked. What should we do?’

Dojun thought for a moment and then smiled faintly.

‘If it comes out like this at 100 cents, I’m comfortable too. I can hack without worry, right?’

Do-jun returned to his seat and opened the source. It was the ‘hacking source’ created while working on the Iranian nuclear facility project.

‘Shouldn’t China also know about the latest hacking?’

Do-jun started to plant wormware in all the planning documents on Kim Joo-yeon’s PC.

“Brother? You want to go to Japan?”

Kim Joo-yeon moved to Baeksent Korea right after leaving Black Cat. At first, she was worried because it was a Chinese company, but now Kim Joo-yeon is satisfied with everything.

My annual salary doubled to 60 million won, and more than anything, I was happy to be with Kevin Park. To be exact, I was able to enjoy a little bit of Kevin Park’s power.

“Yeah. March 9th to 12th. A business trip and trip to Japan?”

The lead actress’ face brightened and she hugged Kevin Park.

“Brother!”

“How is it, do you like it?”

“Hold it!”

“I’ll stay in Tokyo for a day or so and then leave for Fukushima.”

“Fukushima? I heard the beach there is so pretty.”

Jooyeon thought once again that it was a good idea to move to Baeksent.

‘This is the taste of power.’

Since I was in a romantic relationship with the CEO, I was free from everything. No one said anything even if I was a little bad at work or was late.

‘Plus, you can go on business trips and vacations like this.’

The company paid all the expenses for the business trip, and I even had to pay for the travel expenses separately, so it was like killing three birds with one stone.

“But Oppa, why are you going to Fukushima?”

“Oh, I think they’re thinking of opening a Japanese branch there.”

“To Fukushima? It’s a nice place, but isn’t it a bit out of the way? Why not open it in Tokyo?”

Kevin Park shrugged and pointed to the ceiling.

“Instructions from the head office representative.”

“Ah! Then there’s nothing I can do.”

Kevin Park said with a smile.

“There’s not much for us to do. The people below us will do the work anyway. We can just take a look around Fukushima City and eat something delicious by the seaside. Juyeon, you find out where the good restaurants are.”

“huh!”

As Joo-yeon left the office, Kevin Park’s smiling expression changed to one of indifference.

‘Hmm. Why on earth did you tell me to go to Fukushima? And on March 11th, you had to be somewhere near the coast of Fukushima.’

Although it was a completely incomprehensible order, Ma Huateng’s instructions were absolute.

“Well, let’s go eat some raw fish and have fun.”

Kevin snickered and opened his phone. There were many women’s names written on it.

“Okay. Which girl do you want to hang out with today?”

* * *

Dojun came to Japan on March 9th.

‘I’m shaking like crazy. I feel like I’m going to hell.’

In two days, most of Japan’s airports would be closed.

‘Honestly, I could have stayed in Seoul, but I still couldn’t do that.’

Do-jun intended to ensure that all the Korean personnel who went with him returned to Korea without exception.

‘There’s a lot more to do. I have to make sure the show goes well, that the From Soft staff and their families are all there, and that Marshall really is here.’

Fortunately, all preparations went smoothly. It would have been impossible if things had gone as planned, but thanks to Kadokawa’s connections, we were able to hold the performance at Tokyo Dome.

30 minutes before the show, Dojun went to his seat with his ticket.

‘I guess it’s that guy.’

There were two lovers sitting next to Dojun. One of them looked like a Hispanic man in his early 30s, and the woman next to him looked like a typical Japanese woman.

Dojun looked at the man and said.

“Are you Marshall Baker?”

Marshall was surprised by Dojun’s words.

“Yes. I’m Marshall Baker. Who are you…?”

It was then that the Japanese woman next to him tapped Marshall on the shoulder and said.

“Marshall. That’s him, Sally’s husband.”

“Huh? Sally… your husband?”

“Don’t you remember that time? The wedding held at the White House. After seeing that, we said we wanted to get married at the White House too!”

“ah!”

Only then did Marshall remember Dojun and reached out his hand with an excited expression.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Marshall Baker.”

“I am Dojun Hwang. It is an honor to meet you.”

“It’s an honor. Rather, it’s my honor. Sally said so. The host of this concert is Dojun Hwang. Thank you for inviting me.”

“It’s nothing. I’m honored to be able to give a small gift to Sally, a friend of mine, who is getting married.”

Marshall looked around and asked.

“But I guess Sally didn’t come with you?”

“Oh, I’m busy with work.”

Just as Dojun was about to explain about Sally, Ashley hit Marshall and shouted.

“The show is about to start! It’s Bang Bang Oppas!”

No matter how I looked at it, Ashley looked older than Bang Bang, and Ashley made a very excited expression while calling Bang Bang “Oppa.”

Dojun and Marshall shrugged and laughed.

“Lies! Lies!”

Ashley sang along to Bang Bang’s song until her throat was hoarse. So did the people who filled the concert hall.

Everyone sang along, shouting until their throats were hoarse.

Dojun smiled when he saw that.

‘Thank goodness most of the Fromsoft employees and their families were able to come.’

Even if you hold a family workshop, children, the elderly, and the young usually don’t come. But this workshop was different. Everyone was clamoring to go.

‘We need to hold workshops like this not only in Japan but also in Korea.’

What’s even better is that all of the employees from Fukushima attended with their families.

And so the two-hour-long performance ended.

“How was it?”

“It was great. The company my dad works for seems like a really good company.”

Dojun felt proud as he listened to the conversations of the families coming out of the performance.

Dojun returned to the hotel and looked out the window. It was past 2 AM, but he couldn’t sleep.

‘In a few hours, a magnitude 9.1 earthquake will occur.’

Dojun recalled his past life. A major earthquake shook all of Japan, including Fukushima.

‘But I haven’t heard that the Tokyo building was destroyed. The people in the Tokyo hotel will be safe.’

It was 6:30 in the morning and the sun was rising. Although he couldn’t sleep at all, Dojun couldn’t fall asleep.

‘Everything is going my way.’

Dojun ate breakfast, took a shower, and left for the airport. When he looked at his watch, it was 9:30 AM.

Dojun asked the general affairs manager.

“What about people?”

“All the artists and staff got on the plane.”

Dojun swept his chest. Everything had ended just as Dojun had thought.

“Okay. Let’s go to Korea now.”

Dojun sent a final text to Marshall before boarding the plane, as he might still be sleeping.

[Congratulations on your wedding, and I hope you have a pleasant trip to Japan.]

Dojun thought the reply would be late. But the reply came right away.

[Thank you, sir. Thanks to you, I have an unforgettable memory.]

[So you’re leaving for Korea soon? We’ve just left the hotel and are on the train to Fukushima.]

[Ashley wanted to go there today because this is her parents’ hometown.]

[I will send you photos of Fukushima later.]

Dojun, who saw the message, dropped his phone without realizing it.

“crazy!”

The airport speaker announced that he should board the flight to Korea. But Dojun couldn’t do that.

Dojun immediately shouted at the general affairs manager.

“Tell me the fastest way to get to Fukushima!”
