Episode 17 Sword dance (3)

next day.

I went to work at the factory, smelling of alcohol all over my body.

The drinking party lasted until the morning, and all the employees were having a good time, and the factory manager and executives were gathered in the cafeteria and drinking hangover soup prepared by the kitchen aunt.

“Deputy Director Kim is here? “Come and have a bowl together.”

“The factory manager looks comfortable. I feel sick just by walking. “As expected, you are amazing.”

I even rubbed his hands and flattered him.

How excited would it be to hear flattery from the president’s grandson?

The factory manager smiled brightly and offered me a seat next to him.

“How can I have another drink today?”

“I feel like alcohol is flowing instead of blood right now. “If I drink one more drink today, I’m really going to end up in the emergency room.”

“Isn’t that a problem that just needs to be taken out? There is a nice sauna near the factory. “It can’t be compared to the hotel sauna in Seoul, but the facilities are still good, so go there.”

“I would like to soak in some warm water.”

“I will assign Deputy Yang to you, so you can go.” “If you’re really tired, you can go straight to the sauna before leaving work.”

The company is doing really well.

I heard an employee who joined the company yesterday go to the sauna.

Well, I still had to go out, so I should be grateful that they laid out a board like this.

“Then I’ll be back for a bit.”

“Why don’t you eat hangover soup?”

“Even if you put water in its mouth, it will try to come up. “You can’t behave like that in front of the factory manager and executives.”

“Hehe, our Deputy Director Kim is very polite. “I will call Assistant Manager Yang right away.”

“I will take a taxi. Assistant Manager Yang is probably still under the influence of alcohol, so wouldn’t he be in trouble if there was a crackdown on his drinking?”

“Hey! “Seeing that he cares about his employees shows that they have different bloodlines.”

“Then I’ll be back.”

I called a taxi, left the factory, and headed to the sauna.

Perhaps because it was recommended by the factory manager, there were not many people in the clean facility.

After naturally showering, I put a towel on my head and entered the wet sauna room, where there was already one person sitting there.

“Did you handle your work well?”

“We collected some data overnight and analyzed it. “The amount of data is not much, but it makes me vibrate.”

The person in the sauna was someone I hired.

I called him into the sauna to avoid any prying eyes.

“I’m sorry for making you do such a hard job even though I’ve only just been discharged from the military.”

“no. “I’m just grateful that you got rid of a soldier who couldn’t even be promoted.”

The name of the person next to me is Captain Kang In-sik.

He graduated from the Military Academy and was a soldier belonging to the Defense Security Command, the center of power.

However, he had a strong rebellious temperament ever since the military regime, and eventually became a desolate person.

Captain Kang was the person who could fly in the sky just by reattaching the string that had fallen.

He is a person who possesses S-level intelligence and A-level business skills, so what’s the point of giving him even one string?

“And don’t try to do it all yourself. “Please cooperate with the person I mentioned and proceed with the work.”

“Are you talking about the three people you mentioned earlier? “I did a separate investigation and found out that they were very unique people.”

Captain Kang was once called Ace in the Defense Security Command.

When it comes to background investigations, the Defense Security Command was superior to the police or prosecutors.

“Because they are part of the line I created, there is absolutely no fear of information being leaked.”

“I don’t know if I can say this, but they all had a nickname called ‘Dool’.”

Since three years ago, I have been creating a line through a foundation or fund.

Among them, there was someone who would help me with the sword dance along with Captain Kang.

The National Tax Service, police, and prosecutors selected talent who had no lines and had excellent work skills.

“If you think about it that way, isn’t it the same for Captain Kang?”

“… … Actually, there were a few superiors who called me the leader of the Armed Forces.”

Can anyone dance the sword dance?

Only people with a slightly abnormal mind can follow me in the sword dance properly.

“Please completely clean up the Changwon parts factory.”

“However, the data is somewhat lacking. “I infiltrated the office yesterday and copied several ledgers and stole data from the computer, but it’s not enough to completely rob them.”

“I will obtain internal information little by little, so you can share it with others from the outside.”

“All right. “The rotten me is so vibrating that if I just shake it off a little, there are a lot of things that will come out.”

Captain Kang was an expert in this area.

Civilian surveillance, information collection and manipulation, etc.

This is what the Defense Security Command did during the military regime.

“I don’t want to do this, so I’m sorry for making Captain Kang, who also joined the Defense Security Command, do the same thing.”

“It’s not that I didn’t like this. I just didn’t want to blame innocent people for crimes they didn’t have.

“Then that’s a relief. Captain Kang needs to keep the balance. “The rest of us are working without knowing each other.”

“I will try to move the stones well. “I’ll get to work right away.”

Captain Kang stood up first.

I spent some more time in the sauna and then returned to work.

At the same time, the factory manager’s office.

The factory manager and three executives were having a conversation while drinking coffee, and of course the topic of conversation was Minjae Kim.

“Don’t you think you’re a much better person than you think?”

“You’re a master! Didn’t we decide to become a family starting yesterday? “You, too, call me Deputy Director Kim from now on.”

“I’m afraid that if things continue like this, Deputy Director Kim will say he wants to go up to the headquarters with the factory manager. “I saw it yesterday and it seemed like Deputy Director Kim was following the factory manager a lot.”

The executives recalled yesterday.

Kim Min-jae walking around and filling up his glass like he was a puppy.

They had been suspicious that the appearance of the chairman’s grandson would harm their kingdom, the Changwon Parts Factory, but now most of their caution has eased.

“If you go to the head office, there will be a lot of work and it will be difficult. “I feel much more comfortable just staying at the factory.”

“But if you move up to the headquarters, won’t your salary be twice as high as it is now?”

“What can I do if I get a lot of salary? There is no plus alpha. why? “Are you saying that because you want to be the factory manager when I go up to the headquarters?”

“no! “I have never had such disloyal thoughts, not even in my dreams.”

The executive not only waved his hand urgently, but even stood up from his seat and bowed his head.

“The caterpillar has to eat pine needles to survive. And we are tightly holding the line at the Changwon factory, so there is no need to hold the line at the headquarters.”

“I made a mistake. sorry.”

“Deputy Director Kim is like a wind that comes by once in a while. “He shouldn’t get too excited.”

The factory manager waved his hand.

Only then did the executive who had lowered his head carefully sit down.

“ah! And how is the pallet contract going?”

“Manager Jang, who recently left the company, established a pallet factory, and we have taken steps to ensure that the factory manager receives 50 percent of the shares.”

“Do you know how much it will cost if we make it possible to deliver pallets from our parts factory to Changwon Factory 1?”

The tool for transporting parts was a pallet.

It was a tool made of plastic or wood so that forklifts could easily transport it, and tens of thousands of pallets were used in automobile factories every year.

Of course, I had to pay money to buy the palette.

But what if we could monopolize the pallet business that goes into the Changwon factory?

You will be able to earn profits on a completely different level from the embezzlement you have been doing so far.

“Pallets will begin to be delivered to our factory starting next week. “As long as the contract for the Changwon factory goes well, it’s done.”

“How many more years will we be in business? Don’t you have to make a living even after quitting your job? If you start with the pallet business and create a few more companies, you won’t have to worry about making a living for the rest of your life. “Do you still want to go to headquarters?”

“Absolutely not. If I go to the headquarters, will I get nothing more than a scolding from the chairman? “I want to live quietly in Changwon.”

These were factory managers and executives who were trying to throw straws at the Taewoo Motors factory.

Although there were already several straws in place, people’s greed is endless and they always shout for just one more.

After going to the sauna, I came back to work feeling soft and refreshed.

It may have already been lunch time, but field workers were lining up in front of the restaurant, and the general affairs team was behind them.

“Deputy Director Kim! Shall we eat together?”

“Is that so? “Are you all okay inside?”

Manager Lee of the general affairs team called me.

I naturally joined them and entered the restaurant.

“Let’s sit inside there.”

“Do you sit separately from the managers? “I couldn’t talk much with the accounts yesterday. Can I have lunch with them?”

“Please. Hehe, Deputy Director Kim is also a man.”

After letting Manager Lee’s dirty words slip through one ear, he set down the tray where the accountants were sitting.

Then the accountants hesitated and did not know what to do.

Even though I was young, in my early 20s, the accountants had a hard time because I was labeled as the grandson of the chairman.

“Enjoy your meal comfortably. ah! You know that I studied abroad in the United States, right? “I bought some key chains as souvenirs from America.”

No one would turn down free money.

In particular, they do not hesitate to give free gifts, such as cute souvenirs.

“Are you really giving it to us? thank you “Hurry up and grab one, too.”

“thank you!”

The awkwardness was quickly resolved with a few souvenirs.

In particular, the conversation continued with the story of the drama ‘The Last Battle’, which has been a sensation from last year to this year.

“Han Youngjun is my ideal type! “Isn’t it so cool?”

“Sister, it’s Lee Dong-min rather than Han Yeong-jun. “I heard Han Young-jun is so reckless that it’s scary.”

“You just insulted Youngjun’s brother! this!”

I just quietly listened to the conversation.

I also noticed that there were factions among the seven accountants.

A high school clique created by Han Ji-hye, the most senior accountant called Sister Wang.

And the junior college faction created by Joo Young-mi, a junior college graduate.

But there was one more interesting fact.

I listened to the conversation and checked the details of the accounts.

I found out that two senior accountants, who were the heads of the faction, had the same unique characteristics.

[Special note: Relationship between factory manager and internal affairs]

Not one, but two?

No, the factory manager is almost 60 years old. Is this possible?

… … Should I call it dirty or great?

Cliques did not arise for nothing.

They probably formed a clique because they thought they were the closest people to the factory manager.

Thanks to this, I was able to easily come up with a plan to find out the inside information.

“Lunch time is almost over. I will wake up first. ah! “And I have some snacks I brought from America, so I’ll put them in the bathroom.”

“really? “Our Deputy Director Kim is so sweet, perhaps because he came from the United States!”

Jihye Han looks at me and says she is sweet.

Look for words like sweet only from your partner, the factory manager.
