Protecting My Rice Bowl

The tutor teachers’ announcements continued.

But President Shim’s reaction was indifferent.

That was also so, President Shim would have always received only reports that came up through the approval line.

Then seeing the assignments of greenhorns not even as good as new employees, no way would fill the eyes.

“Yawn.”

President Shim openly yawned.

Openly expressed boredom, dullness, irritation.

Naturally the tutor teachers shrank greatly.

Unable to watch, I slightly helped.

“Teacher Shim, lower the expectation a bit.”

“Seems no expectation that can lower more here.”

Every time so the tutor teachers hunched their shoulders.

“See moderately. Anyway did the assignments with best effort.”

“Is doing best in company work important? The word best has to attach to the result not the process.”

“Right words. But everyone has a first.”

Even if they are competent elites who rise to affiliate president positions later, now mere university students who haven’t even received new employee training.

“This is not a company, and the teachers are not new employees.”

“So have to know it’s fortunate. If this was a company, from executives starting even the senior would have continued downward chewing.”

At President Shim’s harsh evaluation, the atmosphere sank noticeably.

Naturally the pressure the next announcer would receive would be great.

“Ha Seon-u 4th year of Korea University business administration department. I received the assignment of drawing a graph of the stock rise and fall table of U-gwang’s 41 affiliates based on stock price materials of the recent 3 years.”

“Start.”

This time too President Shim answered indifferently.

But looking at the graph Ha Seon-u drew, the gaze changed.

“Drew the graph by quarter. Of course drew by each affiliate, and while writing graphs of different colors bundling similar affiliate groups, and separately sorting only U-gwang’s core affiliates.”

For the first time President Shim showed interest.

Then the other tutor teachers sent surprised eyes all at once.

“Is there something that organized the materials separately?”

“Yes. This is the same materials written as a table.”

“Good.”

President Shim made a satisfied smile.

Whoosh reviews the stock rise and fall table.

Of course the rise and fall rate compared to the previous quarter, compared to the previous year was recorded small next to the table, and organized using red and blue.

Wrote so that the rise and fall is easy to see at a glance.

“Quite good?”

What that one word.

Ha Seon-u rejoiced as if jumping.

Received envious gazes with the whole body.

“What is your name?”

“Ha Seon-u 4th year of Korea University business administration department.”

“Ha Seon-u. Will remember.”

I looked at Team Leader Yu.

Then Yu Jong-tae who is a quick-witted security guard and claims to be my hands and feet quickly brought a sketchbook. A table with names on the horizontal and dates on the vertical.

“Young Master, prepared the stamps in three kinds.”

Stamps with the letters and pictures of ‘The best!’, ‘Did very well!’, ‘Strive.’ written.

I stamped the ‘The best!’ stamp on Teacher Ha’s box who drew the graph of the 41 affiliates stock rise and fall table.

“Praise stamp? That the teachers receive not the Young Master?”

“If performed the assignment, have to receive evaluation. The performance bonus to be paid next month will differ according to the praise stamp.”

The tutor teachers dropped mouths open without you or me.

“The assignment doing anyway, better if receiving with bonus added?”

“Ha······!”

“For reference, this praise stamp table will close every quarter, and thinking of sending that to President Shim sitting here.”

I grinned.

“Because will become reference matters at the entry interview.”

“Good. For reference, I’m a style that favors competent employees. Very like pushing and pulling and raising talents who show sprout.”

At those words, the tutor teachers’ gazes changed abruptly.

Look at the praise stamp and President Shim alternately with hot eyes.

‘Happiness is not in order of grades, but annual salary is in order of grades.’

They knew the principle of competition well.

So after fierce competition, occupied from the lowest employee to the affiliate president seat.

* * *

After sending out the tutor teachers.

I had a private meeting with President Shim.

“Young Master, honestly a bit surprised.”

“Quite a sprout?”

“Yes, picked well. Especially the friend who announced the U-gwang affiliate graph.”

Seemed Teacher Ha Seon-u stamped eyes properly.

“Everyone has to be similar, but alone shows unrivaled skill like a crane among chickens. So asking.”

President Shim smiled meaningfully.

“Why is the Young Master taking care of only that guy separately? Because can’t understand.”

“Did you notice?”

“Even our Taeseong Chemicals deputy can’t raise such a report in a few days. And not the amount that a team leader or section chief level person among close acquaintances would stick and do.”

The reason President Shim snorts a laugh was clear.

“What team leader or section chief level person pours time and effort like that and processes miscellaneous work? Would have a mountain of work to do at the company anyway.”

President Shim tapped the desk in front of me with fingertips.

“So naturally the eyes can’t help but turn to who the very competent person with time remaining existing closest to that friend is. Why did you help? There would be a reason?”

I nodded instead of refuting.

“Because the arm originally bends inward.”

“Hmm?”

“While everyone was groaning somehow trying to do the assignments, the person who secretly came to find me was only that one teacher.”

“Hmm?”

“Said will ride my line and made a loyalty oath. Said please raise me a bit?”

“Coming to tutor and offering a loyalty oath? Asking an eight-year-old tutoring student to raise······. Ha, hahaha.”

President Shim let out a hollow laugh.

Whether so or not.

“Can’t treat a person who claims to be my hands and feet the same as others. Have to take care one more.”

“So how did you take care?”

“Handed one genealogy and one advice.”

“Genealogy?”

I took out one document tied with string from the desk drawer.

“The stock rise and fall table and graph of Taeseong Chemicals and Taeseong Construction.”

“Gave that saying refer.”

No need to look into so diligently.

Because summarized similarly to what announced earlier.

The really important information I am organizing separately as a ledger, that is just a diagram to occasionally look into as reference material so nothing particular to gain.

“Did the Young Master write this directly? But why only these two companies?”

“Because that was a company said as our father’s share.”

President Shim looked down at me with eyes saying admirable.

“Then what is that advice again?”

“Nothing special. Just informed that no law that do company work alone.”

I put the contract bundle written with the tutor teachers on the desk.

“Paid the tutoring fee in advance, that too section chief level salary with a thud. Slightly hinted to buy others’ time and effort with that money.”

“Ha······!”

“Honestly this is work that can’t do alone. Because the assignment amount to process within time was too excessively much.”

“Even knowing that why particularly······.”

President Shim who was reading the contracts loosely looked back at me with startled eyes.

“Surely expected that guy would cling to the Young Master and deliberately gave an excessive assignment?”

“Among the tutor teachers, seemed a type whose situation judgment is particularly fast and uses residual head well.”

I met all kinds of guys rolling in the back alleys.

Among them there is a type whose eyes are particularly ambitious and residual head rolls fast, those guys generally have good knack and don’t care about means and methods and somehow complete the goal.

A type that achieves the purpose going between legal of course expedient and illegal?

Such talent is not common.

“When realized that absolutely can’t do alone within time, became curious how would solve that work then.

“That is a standard that divides incompetent and competent, ordinary and extraordinary though.”

“So one hint. If 4th year of Korea University, how many juniors to mobilize, how much network to request would be quite a lot. Also a work that can sufficiently accomplish if moderately buying and dividing the miscellaneous work.”

There would have been quite a few people who would willingly help if buying one drink largely.

“So, the work the Young Master taught first while taking in hands and feet now was the work of buying people and snatching the achievement?”

“No.”

I shook the index finger left and right.

“Have to say the words straight. Buying is right, but didn’t snatch the achievement. Bluntly they are not Taeseong’s employees, and not even received the same assignment?”

“Hmm, that is also so.”

“Said earlier. The word best in company work has to attach to the result not the process. This is not even illegal?”

“······.”

“Have to see as a bit of knack and work sense. Forming a win-win relationship where you are good getting a drink and I am good reducing the work hands.”

“······.”

“Everyone when the pocket is light, if opening the pocket and buying favor, that is all goodwill and network. So rather a matter worth encouraging?”

“······So.”

“If Korea University graduates, would be elites who will occupy good seats going out to society. Is there a separate reason not to utilize the well-formed school ties, regional ties, blood ties while living in this country?”

“······None.”

President Shim looked at me with a peculiar expression.

“If revealing the intention of entry saying will ride the line together because felt interest in Taeseong, a matter of welcoming with both hands raised. I am a bit greedy for talents.”

Unlike the 21st century, the Republic of Korea of this time now was repeating high growth in full swing.

When the national wealth expands, and the company’s scale is growing in full swing.

Because the top is not blocked, success and promotion were achieved at ultra-high speed.

An era where even with academic background alone, the elite status of society was guaranteed.

“Company is also ultimately work that people do, and growing the company is better one competent employee than ten incompetent employees.”

“Right. Actually company work is not all good just because study well. Have to have work sense.”

“There also have to be good at watching eyes, and not care about means and methods in achieving the goal, and a person who can work offering dedication to enter the superior’s eyes. I need several such confidants.”

Miscellaneous work can be entrusted to the company system and go around, but can’t be buried in the system up to executives.

‘What I want to raise is executives who can present Taeseong’s future, not employees who take charge of miscellaneous work.’

If the soldiers row the oars hard, the ship goes forward.

But if the captain and helmsman touch the rudder carelessly, the ship heads in the wrong direction as a matter of course.

“Young Master, can’t help but ask no matter what.”

President Shim asked seriously.

“Even if guys with sprout, why is the Young Master wasting time diligently raising unpolished greenhorns? If telling the seniors to raise after entering Taeseong, would be enough.”

In President Shim’s voice, pity and regret were embedded.

“Said the line earlier? Guys trying to catch the Young Master’s line who is the direct line of Taeseong Group are scattered and scattered. The sound that even if staying still, talents who swear loyalty to the Young Master and volunteer to become confidants will gather like clouds.”

“Right. If a general situation, I also wouldn’t have needed to put such effort.”

“Then the meaning that the Young Master’s situation now is not general?”

“Yes.”

I nodded.

“When I negotiated with grandfather, President Shim was also together in that seat?”

“Yes.”

“How many of U-gwang’s affiliates I concluded to receive. Do you remember exactly what grandfather decided to hand over to me then?”

“The shares of the affiliates to acquire.”

“Then the management rights?”

“······Hmm?”

“Grandfather decided to hand over the shares to me, but didn’t say even one word of handing over the affiliates’ management rights.”

President Shim’s pupils shook greatly.

“Do you remember what the work I requested to grandfather was?”

“Hmm, decided to persuade the Taeseong Group executives regarding the Young Master taking the U-gwang affiliate shares······.”

“During the executive meeting time, did grandfather bring out even one word regarding that?”

“······.”

Never brought out.

“Grandfather instead of announcing my rights in front of the Taeseong Group executives, only asked me the observation impression of the executive meeting.”

“Hmm.”

“What would those words mean?”

“The meaning that can give the shares but no thought of giving the management rights.”

“Why do you think?”

I poked my chest with the index finger.

“Because my age is just eight years old.”

President Shim couldn’t refute.

“Will acknowledge being the major shareholder so quietly receive and take care of dividends. No thought at all of putting forward to the management front line so diligently learn management from President Shim. Such meaning?”

President Shim closed his mouth tightly.

“My share I have to take care. No thought of sucking fingers and having my rice bowl snatched. So unavoidably caused such a matter.”

Finally President Shim opened his mouth with a moan.

“What are you thinking of doing how?”
