World Domination through Planet Development - Chapter 11
Only Noblemtl
Episode 11. Daehyun Group, you again?
Jungwoo went to the office a little late in the morning, to avoid the rush hour when people are crowded.
You may wonder why you would go to the office if you don’t have any employees and aren’t doing any work, but there are two reasons for this.
First things first.
Pay the rent.
It’s already been almost a month and tens of millions of won have been withdrawn from the corporate account again.
It cost hundreds of millions to set up the server and there’s not much left to pay.
I had no choice but to go out, even if it was just to save money.
Should we call it psychological comfort?
And the second one.
The atmosphere is lively. Do you feel like you are part of this huge society?
When I arrive at work around this time, I see the cocoa employees who arrived early gathering in groups of three or four, carrying coffee.
Actually, I’m starting to get tired of those feelings now… .
Beep!
Jungwoo entered the building after swiping his ID card.
As I stood in front of the elevator, I heard a burst of laughter from the group of women next to me.
Yeah, this is how people live.
The sound of women’s laughter made me feel happy.
At first, I felt a little bit uneasy because I thought a high-powered alien was watching me, but as I lived, I got used to it.
I took the elevator and arrived at the office floor.
“It’s so cold.”
I went through the large shared office and entered a separate private office.
Then he sat down on the one chair that was provided.
“How was the Expo?”
Jungwoo spoke into the empty space where no one was present.
[Your application has been approved by the person in charge. Afterwards, the technology demonstration companies will be selected through a final review by the advisory committee.]
“Well, you did a good job. And honestly, it’s not AI, it’s just a human. No, it’s an alien that’s much more advanced than a human. It’s even funnier that it doesn’t pass.”
[Humans are not creatures that move only according to efficiency. Depending on the interests, there is a good chance that they will fall apart.]
Um… yeah. I know that too.
“So when you look at it, do you think it will fall?”
[There is evidence that they are a sufficiently rational and honest organization, but I cannot be certain with only one month of records. If you allow me, I can use a mind reader to make an estimate while the people in charge are asleep.]
Jungwoo lightly ignored Sarah’s suggestion to use a mind reader.
“I guess I can roughly match the release date. Okay, that’s fine. Now I just need to look at the employees’ resumes….”
A total of 18 people submitted their resumes.
As it was a startup, they did not clearly state anything about wages.
So the perception may not be very good, but it’s a little embarrassing that there are only 18 people.
No. Since they’re only picking 2 people anyway, isn’t a competition rate of 9 really that low?
Hmm. Whatever it is, let’s take a look.
Actually, Sarah can overlook even this, but I have to pick the first employee for symbolic reasons.
Jungwoo asked Sarah to print out all his resumes.
Computer parts manufactured directly in the underground base can be attached to the management computer in the office, allowing control as desired.
How convenient it is that you can just tell it and it will take care of everything.
Since Sarah AI itself has similar functions, it is sure to be a huge hit.
And from now on, I’m going to spread this AI system all over the world and gather everyone’s information. Hahaha.
[User. Even if you don’t distribute this AI system, I am collecting all the information from around the world since I arrived on Earth.]
“Oh, right. Right… Then, where should I look at your resume? Hmm.”
I coughed in vain out of embarrassment and quickly flipped through the printed resume.
18 resumes.
This is enough for one person to watch alone.
Although he only said that, he didn’t really look at the resume and made a judgment on the core parts based on the information Sarah gave him.
Then, you could say that in the end, Sarah is the one who chooses, but it is clearly different.
Sarah just provides objective information and I make the decisions.
Anyway, that’s it.
[That applicant has already been accepted by a certain mid-sized company. Of course, the applicant does not know this fact, but unless something unexpected happens, I believe he will not come to our company.]
“Hmm. Then this guy passes too.”
This is very convenient.
Even the fact that they bring up trivial private matters like how they got drunk with their friends yesterday and made a scene, helps them judge people.
Jeongwoo calmly handed over the next resume.
A profile picture of a young woman caught my eye.
“Han Seung-ah, are you twenty? You just graduated from high school?”
[The applicant lost her father and her mother lives with another family. She lives with her grandmother and younger sibling, and is the head of a household working part-time and preparing for employment due to her grandmother’s poor health.]
What’s with the mood all of a sudden? It’s like a melodrama.
I still have friends like this. How wonderful.
But it would also be disrespectful to this guy to hire him out of pity.
As I was about to look at the next resume with that thought in mind, Sarah continued speaking.
[Yesterday, I had a first interview with a large company. During the one-on-one interview, I was harassed and ridiculed, including being made to dance alone. I was so embarrassed that I had to stay up late at night to suppress my emotions and go home.]
Dance?! They make you dance during an interview?
“Wh… What?! What the… Where is that place?!”
[This is Daehyun Capital, an affiliate of Daehyun Group. It was done unilaterally by a person named Seong Ki-nam, the head of the human resources department among the interviewers. The applicant should have been eliminated in the document screening process from the beginning. However, judging from the usual behavior of this person named Seong Ki-nam, it is highly likely that the applicant was accepted based on his appearance.]
“Wow, even in this day and age, there are people who do things like this? This guy is living up to his reputation. This.”
This kid needs to use a mind reader to open his head.
No, there’s no need to look into it. It’s obvious even without looking.
And Daehyun?
“This is Daehyun. I hear these names here.”
Daehyun Group.
The company that took the lead in taking over our father’s company.
Anyway, it has established itself as a very dark presence in many parts of society.
Let’s just cool down a bit.
There is nothing I can do for Daehyun Group right now.
Then what should Han Seung-ah do?
Hmm… Emotions shouldn’t be involved in the hiring process… .
Well, Sarah earns all the money anyway, right? Our company doesn’t really need any great talent.
To begin with, the other applicants weren’t all that high-level either.
“Okay, Seung-ah, you pass.”
The resumes of the next few applicants were very ordinary, but one applicant, Kim Jeong-tae, stood out because he was so full.
[This applicant stands out for his sincerity. He seems to be very interested in self-management and has a lot of self-esteem.]
“Wow, you’re 26 years old. You graduated from a four-year university and served in the military. But why do you have so much experience? That’s amazing.”
[This is the basic level that everyone at large companies does.]
Hmm… Sarah, are you T?
I feel strangely uneasy.
It’s not that I don’t have any special background. Ahem.
Swish.
Jungwoo coughed and continued looking at other resumes.
Hmm, even if I look at other resumes, Kim Jeong-tae’s is a bit better.
Yeah, it would be nice to have at least one person with these basic specifications for a large company.
Okay, then let’s send a rough acceptance letter.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you going to send me the acceptance letter quickly?”
[… … .]
