Chapter 157

Let’s Play Hooky

President Shim whose dark circles had come down to the chin was startled with a whoosh and opened eyes large.

“No, how came out to the office without notice?”

President Shim released the nape of Kang Jun-gu held.

Then ran all the way to the front of the office door in one breath panting.

To whisper in my ear.

“Said U-gwang’s practical staff swarming inside the office!”

“Why so fussy?”

“Boss, can’t do like this here.”

“Did I come to a place I can’t come?”

“Those guys different from Taeseong’s talents. No loyalty to keep to Taeseong.”

President Shim was worried.

“Try thinking from their position. The company ambitiously joined and diligently attending well split like a bolt from the blue overnight and merged into Taeseong.”

Know.

“Their will not entered there either. So their loyalty will head toward U-gwang not Taeseong.”

President Shim glanced behind.

In contrast to the tutor teachers and Taeseong’s executives burying noses in documents and raising work processing speed madly from the moment I appeared, U-gwang’s elite practical staff are staring blankly.

Unable to hide curiosity and puzzlement.

“How believe those guys’ mouths? What if exposing the Young Master’s identity to the whole world?”

President Shim emphasized cutting one character one character.

“That our company’s greatest top. secret. secret. secret. secret!”

Would I have come out here without even preparing such?

“The Young Master is Taeseong’s brain, Taeseong’s future, Taeseong’s sponsor, Taeseong’s pillar!”

President Shim lifted a hand to my armpit and lifted with a whoosh and embraced.

Instantly I was dangled and embraced fully in President Shim’s arms.

“Eugyat!”

“Eueok!”

President Shim and I simultaneously made scream sounds of different meanings.

President Shim who was giving strict caution frowning the brows tightly though.

President Shim smiled foolishly hehe and rubbed the cheek on my crown.

“Baby smell puff puff······.”

“President Shim?”

“So, sorry. Seems I briefly lost the mind line because of overnight work staying up three nights. Ahem ahem ahem!”

President Shim quickly detached the face from my crown and straightened the waist.

But President Shim’s hand was still patting my back pat pat.

A very soft touch like touching a baby puppy.

“U-gwang’s Chairman Kim promised future to them and used like spies and planned to divert Taeseong’s internal information and technology, talents etc.?”

“The person who received the memorandum that will abandon U-gwang’s talents is President Shim.”

“The Young Master may believe documents more than words, I more trust people’s selfishness and desire than documents.”

President Shim narrowed eyes and glanced behind.

The U-gwang elite practical staff who were watching us with interesting eyes quickly lowered heads and pretended to look elsewhere.

People who became stringless kites as U-gwang Chairman Kim Dae-sik abandoned.

“If understanding why the chairman not putting the Young Master on the management front line hope pay a bit more attention.”

“Was a matter that an eight-year-old little kid coming to the office have to pay attention that much?”

“Ahem! The Young Master not a general eight-year-old child. Repeatedly saying, the Young Master is Taeseong’s future, Taeseong’s······.”

Why.

Even knowing President Shim’s unnecessary worry a smile comes out unknowingly.

‘Shall I say, not say how I revealed these guys are U-gwang’s spies?’

That a matter revealed through deep interview at Cheonggye Mountain.

‘Shall I say, not say Yu Jong-tae finished mental education at Cheonggye Mountain and even received lifetime contracts?’

Anyway President Shim a person with many things to worry about company work, many worries.

Didn’t want to add even my worry there.

‘President Shim really good at company management. But completely a mess at handling subordinates roughly.’

I stealthily hid the shame books and lifetime contracts of U-gwang affiliate practical staff brought just in case behind the back.

Quick-witted Yu Jong-tae put back into the document bag.

“Watching others’ eyes seems can’t even properly roll my company?”

“I took charge of the dummy president so such a matter not. Will become a certain shield.”

“Just know already recruitment end, persuasion complete state.”

The gaze full of concern was soft and warm.

“Don’t worry too much. The Taeseong family youngest Young Master can stop by to meet since Taeseong Chemicals executives returned.”

“Ah, came to meet our kids?”

“Including office family. Everyone worked hard and suffered a lot. Came for encouragement.”

Only then President Shim smiled widely at ease.

He looked back at the Taeseong Chemicals executives who were being forcibly escorted by former Taeseong Construction executives.

“Everyone know Young Master Jeong-hyeok? Heard came to meet and encourage you.”

“Hello, Young Master!”

First the newly appointed Taeseong Chemicals president designate bent the waist and greeted me.

“I am Kang Jun-gu newly appointed as Taeseong Chemicals president this time.”

I jumped down from President Shim’s arms with a hop.

Gathered both hands and did a belly bow.

“Suffered a lot from afar. Hope help our mother a lot going forward.”

“We also please take care well.”

Yu Jong-tae who was stacking document boxes full on the handcart and pushing roll roll also greeted gladly.

“Taeseong Chemicals executives, long time no see. Baked just looking good?”

“Team Leader Yu, did well in the meantime? Somehow you attached experience and appearance brightened?”

“Ahem, that all thanks to our Young Master. If stuck in the office and only working about two months become white like this.”

Yu Jong-tae handed the handcart handle to Kang Jun-gu Taeseong Chemicals president designate.

“Receive this.”

“Hmm? Why this to me······.”

“Work amounts Taeseong Chemicals have to process.”

Yu Jong-tae smiled slyly.

“Received salary, came to the company, if breath attached have to work.”

“Correct words. If playing hands briefly like that documents proliferate like a snowball in a short time.”

President Shim nodded heavily.

“This all sounds coming from experience so don’t hear unpleasantly.”

“President Shim, what matter experienced in the meantime to turn into such a work bug this much?”

“Curious? Tell?”

“······No. Suddenly not curious.”

“Only increased eyes while rolling in Saudi.”

President Shim nodded with meaningful eyes.

“Well will naturally know while working. While rolling and rolling again will learn deep in the bones that can’t not roll.”

Whether President Kang trembled implicitly or not.

President Shim smiled looking at the documents piled full on the handcart.

“Team Leader Yu, seems brought too little work amount? Will it work with that?”

“The Young Master said just returned people, only grasp Taeseong Chemicals’ recent status enough.”

Yu Jong-tae scratched the cheekbones as if awkward.

“So simply selected only this and brought.”

“Simple?”

As the newly appointed Taeseong Chemicals president designate recited with a half spirit gone voice, Taeseong Chemicals executives nodded vigorously expressing agreement.

Because the document boxes loaded full on the handcart were quite large and heavy even at a glance.

On the other hand the tutor teachers who were burying heads and only looking at documents pretending not to know muttered small and shook heads.

“Certainly our Young Master overflows with tolerance and affection.”

“Considering time difference ending as a taste.”

“With those documents that personnel 6-hour cut finish. Early leave possible?”

But Taeseong Chemicals executives and U-gwang affiliate practical staff made absurd expressions.

“Early leave?”

“Why this damn company set the common sense work standard strangely.”

“Ghost who died looking at work possessed. The site not good.”

On the other hand former Taeseong Construction executives envied very much.

“People to assist the madam taking care so attentively.”

“As expected people have to ride lines well. What fortune all this?”

“Not even looking around the factory once, not even coaxing the union once, not even asking the factory fire recovery status once.”

“Eating cold porridge.”

I gave the desk prepared in the corner of the office.

The desk I used.

“To grasp Taeseong Chemicals’ status looking at documents will take some time so Taeseong Chemicals executives look at work here.”

The tutor teachers and former Taeseong Construction executives made heok sounds.

“How can! Blatant favor!”

“Doing filial piety like this?”

An expression and tone as if caught somewhere between betrayal and emptiness.

But what is this?

The office family looked at the carts entering in a line.

The procession of handcarts connecting tail to tail!

“······Seems a bit many handcarts?”

“Why keep entering?”

“Said simply selected to grasp Taeseong Chemicals status?”

“A truck came below? Document boxes loaded full?”

“······.”

Like inventory piling in the warehouse document boxes piled in the corner of the office.

Yu Jong-tae grinned.

“Materials regarding Taeseong Chemicals after transferred to U-gwang. Only doing this today’s work end! Really easy?”

“······.”

I looked back at the office family.

“Everyone suffered a lot looking at work related to U-gwang affiliate acquisition merger in the meantime? So prepared.”

At my gesture Yu Jong-tae took out the daily loan bag.

“Performance bonus no need to come out as month-end bonus necessarily?”

Yu Jong-tae quickly circulated the envelopes.

Neatly according to the names written on the envelope surface.

“Performance bonus as expected receiving as much as performance.”

At the sound performance bonus everyone opened as soon as receiving the envelope fearfully.

“Eueok, what performance bonus taking care as much as 3 million won?”

“Te, 10 million won?”

In this era minister salary 250,000, prime minister salary 350,000 won.

Visible encouragement and praise.

“Oh my, our Young Master even wrote a handwritten letter to me!”

An emotional voice.

“Among the seven-page handwritten letter six and a half pages work instructions and correction matters though!”

“Praise only three lines though!”

“Among the three-line praise two lines about parents’ well-being and congratulatory and condolence matters though!”

“The last one line touches the heartstrings can’t not be moved!”

The office family rejoiced greatly and shouted largely.

“Will receive the car key enclosed gratefully well!”

“Taeseong Construction’s new apartment occupancy right! Too good!”

“Oh my god! The 15-day vacation ticket is love!”

I smiled brightly.

“Still before lunch? Is there a law to only do company dinner in the evening?”

“No, even company dinner here?”

“Newly U-gwang affiliate family also entered, because work busy couldn’t properly do company dinner in the meantime?”

Since performance bonus paid according to performance, U-gwang affiliate family’s envelopes would have been much thinner compared to tutor teachers and former Taeseong Construction executives.

“Taeseong Chemicals executives who suffered in Saudi also together since came. As welcome party combined.”

Even the Taeseong Chemicals executives who were complicated looking at the document mountain like a mountain turned heads abruptly.

“Prepared Hanujeong full course.”

“Wow!”

“Hanujeong! Hanujeong!”

Hanujeong was Seoul’s most famous highest class Korean beef specialty store.

A place where one person’s rice price lightly undercuts the course cuisine price of a decent hotel restaurant!

So a restaurant mainly used by political and business world famous figures rarely used as employee company dinner place.

“Instead thinking of tomorrow not overdo and alcohol only exactly one glass?”

When the office family smacked lips with regret.

Yu Jong-tae slightly added words.

“Knowing so separately contacted Hanujeong and prepared so can use cups matching taste, if by any chance needing fruit punch bowl, soup bowl please hint slightly.”

“Heok!”

“From refined rice wine to makgeolli, from soju and beer to wine and whiskey prepared so can choose liquor type to taste, if by any chance ordering separate side dishes to accompany please hint slightly.”

“Eueheok!”

“For reference taxi fare when returning home, or hotel usage fee will pay separately. Without receipt.”

“Heueeok!”

The office family simultaneously clutched the chest.

I clapped hands clap clap and refreshed the surroundings.

“Today right after company dinner go home!”

“······!”

Suddenly silence flowed in the office.

Everyone was making expressions not believing even hearing.

“Still not even lunch time yet?”

“Today’s work amount piled this much?”

“If tomorrow’s work even piles absolutely can’t avoid overtime, weekend attendance, overnight?”

“Today not a public holiday either, not a holiday vacation either, not our house anniversary either, not a unity competition or outing either······.”

I grinned.

“Everyone worked hard in the meantime. Have to have a day of closing eyes tightly and eating and playing and playing hooky.”

“Wow aaa!”

“Young Master best!”

“As expected our Young Master!”

The office family excited and exhaled nasal breath.

I looked back at Kang Jun-gu newly appointed Taeseong Chemicals president designate and Song Seon-pil newly appointed Taeseong Chemicals vice president designate and smiled brightly.

“Two presidents, vice president. Shall talk a bit briefly?”

“If a business to speak separately······?”

“Yeocheon National Industrial Complex.”

A place renamed Yeosu National Industrial Complex in October 2001.

Single scale petrochemical complex world No. 1, even as industrial complex East’s largest, domestically a huge industrial complex standing shoulder to shoulder with Ulsan Industrial Complex.

“Seems many words to share urgently regarding defense industry business and Taeseong Chemicals reorganization.”

President Shim took the lead.

“Let’s go to the president’s office.”
