[133] One Year Later
There is a business that responds late and a business that responds relatively quickly.
Depending on the type of industry, the response time may be reduced or the period may be longer.
And the project that Siwoo Lee was going to proceed with was delayed in response.
The preparation period for the business was long.
If it was a project that could be converted directly from the existing system, it would not have taken a year.
Papapang-!
Today was the day the ossuary, which had been prepared for over a year, finally opened.
As scheduled, three buildings that can accommodate the remains of 10,000 were built.
There were pine trees and cherry blossom trees planted all over the ossuary.
The landscaping project was carried out by Nuri Landscaping.
“Congratulations, CEO Park.”
“Thank you, Chairman Insu-in.”
On the opening day of the ossuary, which had been prepared for a long time, the guests who came to this place were all prominent figures.
The prince group members were all dispatched, and the figures from Shin Won-seon remained in their seats.
“Now is the beginning. I hope the business will prosper in the future.”
Park Soo-beom smiled brightly at Insu-in’s congratulations and shook hands with her.
It was not only the guests who came.
Newspapers and broadcasters were all mobilized from outside.
Of course, the ossuary is operated in a variety of formats, but the ossuary, which will be opened in Boseong this time, is different from the existing method.
It needed a lot of publicity.
In particular, in order for Lee Si-woo to proceed as planned, the number of visitors to the ossuary had to be increased as much as possible.
“hello. My name is Namgoong-sun, a reporter belonging to Woz.”
Park Soo-beom, who greeted Insu-in and greeted the guests, nodded at the reporter’s words.
“A lot of reporters and broadcasting station officials came to visit.”
“At a time when social interest in the death of unrelated people is increasing, I came here because I heard that an ossuary was opened for a good purpose. Could you please give me one interview?”
Park Soo-beom shook his head at the reporter’s request for an interview.
Although Boseong decided to take responsibility for the operation of the ossuary, Si-woo Lee has been in charge of the post-processing of unrelated persons.
There was no intention of taking away the achievements of Nuri, who had suffered for several years, just because she participated in Siwoo Lee’s plan.
“I think the interview should be requested from the CEO of Nuri Recycling, not me.”
“I did ask for an interview, but it was because I had a lot of schedules. However, since Chairman Park Soo-beom is also in the position of running the unrelated business with CEO Lee Si-woo, I would like to conduct an interview.”
After Kang Eung-ryong’s trial, his achievements as Gyeonggi Governor were re-established.
Although his image has fallen endlessly because of the corruption, the public regards the post-treatment of innocent people as the best policy among Kang Eung-ryong’s achievements.
Interest arose as to how the death of smokeless convicts was carried out.
Also, news was reported that Kang Eung-ryong led the business to deal with the belongings of the unrelated, bearing the losses that they enjoyed even though they were excluded from the business of the unrelated.
“You can discuss the interview schedule with Secretary Kang Yi-seo, reporter.”
Park Soo-beom, who had sent the reporter back, loosened his tie as if it was cramped.
“You seem to be getting a lot of interview requests, CEO Park.”
After the opening ceremony was over, Shin Won-sun approached him with a gentle smile.
“We’ve been getting a lot of requests for interviews since a week ago. I’m too busy with the interview request right now, so CEO Lee Si-woo would be terrified?”
“Still, it’s an important day, but CEO Lee Si-woo couldn’t attend, so CEO Park must also be sad.”
“it’s okay. Perhaps the busiest person in Korea right now is CEO Lee Si-woo.”
Anyway, Siwoo Lee came to the headquarters yesterday.
He was grateful for the attention given to him, but expressed concern that the event might become noisy if he attended the opening ceremony.
“A lot has changed in one year.”
“I admit it. Because Nuri’s status has become different from what it was a year ago.”
Arboretum, which is considered to be a large-scale project, has not yet started its proper activities.
Nevertheless, Nuri’s status changed completely differently from before.
“The fact that Nuri, whose main business is waste, is an eco-friendly company is being widely reported. Most people think it’s contradictory, but after another month, those who deny it will change their minds again.”
“I will. Now, in about a month or so, the arboretum will officially start working.”
There is still a long way to go.
However, a company called Nouri was convinced that it would give vitality to the recycling industry.
* * *
“Give me the waste contract paperwork, Deputy Jin!”
Unlike the peaceful ossuary opening ceremony held on the other side of the village, Nuri’s office was reminiscent of a battlefield.
Jin Eun-soo laid out all the documents on the desk and reviewed them one by one.
Employees helping her with administrative tasks roamed around the office frantically.
“Sir, The N Beginner wants to see a waste estimate.”
Ji Hyeon-soo, who got up from his seat with a bag of documents in a hurry, told Kang Pil-joong of the sudden schedule.
“How much is the quantity?”
“You have to see it, but the company says it produces about 10 tons a month. But that can’t be right.”
“Go. Be careful driving.”
“Yes, I will!”
Now, a year later, Ji Hyun-soo’s position, which started as a manager, has changed to a deputy manager.
As well as the personnel in charge of personnel, he traveled to and from the site to determine the unit price by looking at the waste.
Ji Hyun-soo quickly left the office, and after a while, Moon Jae-shin rushed to the representative office.
“CEO!”
Moon Jae-shin, who came in to report an urgent matter while working at the head office, shouted as soon as the door opened.
Si-woo Lee, who was looking at the payment documents while talking on the phone, frowned.
“Sir, I will go directly to the company tomorrow. You also decide the unit price of the waste and scrap you want to treat at that time.”
Lee Si-woo hung up the phone at Moon Jae-shin’s urgent expression.
“What are you doing?”
“The scrap metal business is in turmoil.”
“yes? Is there going to be an uproar in the scrap metal division?”
“It is said that a request came from the railway project team in Yongin City this time.”
“… It’s not related to the railway project that Yongin City is going to attract this time, right?”
“Why not? This time, Yongin City has expressed its intention to entrust the disposal of scrap metal and waste to Nuri.”
The railroad project was one step below redevelopment, but it was still one of the large projects.
In particular, Yongin City was showing signs of further expanding the light rail project.
“It seems that the bid for the railroad has been confirmed.”
“It is said that the city has decided to give the business right to Nuri immediately without a bid, which is unusual this time.”
“It’s an unusual decision. I will give Nuri the right to do business right away without a bid.”
“It is said that Yongin City was also very concerned. However, there are rumors that Yongin Mayor Baek Cheon-mu pushed it.”
“You don’t even know the mayor of Yongin, do you?”
After the Kang Eung-ryong incident, Gyeonggi-do began to liquidate the corruption on a large scale.
These were the actions of the provincial governor, the head of Gyeonggi-do.
Gyeonggi-do residents wanted a proper investigation, and the incident became so huge that the government came forward.
Most of the mayors who committed corruption with Kang Eung-ryong were defeated in the election.
And in the general election held about a year ago, a newly elected person was the mayor of Yongin Baek Cheon-mu.
“The fact that Nuri started in Yongin City seemed to be a positive factor. Instead, Yongin City has expressed its intention to expand the headquarters.”
“The price of the land there is too high to grow the headquarters. Expansion is unreasonable in the current situation.”
The antique dealer located in Yongin is called Nuri’s headquarters.
However, considering its size, the branch was more suitable than the title of the head office.
“However, as long as Yongin has shown sincerity to Nuri, shouldn’t some investment be made?”
“How much expansion did you say you want?”
“I want you to build a shredder.”
“First, please understand the cost or business feasibility of establishing a shredding plant under the leadership of the vice president.”
At Lee Si-woo’s instructions, Moon Jae-shin bowed his head and left the representative room.
“CEO, have you reviewed the submitted documents?”
As soon as Moon Jae-shin left, Jin Eun-soo entered the representative room.
“yes. Payment review is over. And please reconsider the project of forming a forest in the ironworks. It is a meaningful thing to take the first step on the tree, but there are many things that are lacking.”
“I’ll pass it on to CEO Lee Min-koo.”
Jin Eun-soo, holding the bundle of documents she had reviewed, shook her head with a haggard expression.
“Put that down and come back to the representative office, Director Jin.”
“Do you have anything to say?”
“yes. It’s important.”
There were piles of papers that had to be dealt with as quickly as possible.
However, this is the request of the CEO, Siwoo Lee.
Jin Eun-soo left the documents reviewed and went back to the representative office.
Siwoo Lee, who placed two cups of hot coffee on the table, pointed to his seat.
“Sit.”
Jin Eun-soo’s expression hardened at Lee Si-woo’s serious expression.
I had to think about whether there was something wrong with my work.
“Aren’t you crazy because you have a lot of work lately?”
“I think it’s good. It means that Nuri is on track to some extent.”
“I heard that the work of administrative staff is increasing. I think the time has come to select additional staff.”
“Right now, this office is also saturated. There is no room for selecting more staff here.”
“It’s enough to create an office space. However, the workload is getting more and more intense, and we can’t just keep an eye on it. And I’m worried that the amount of work given to Director Jin has increased too much.”
The job suddenly increased.
It was four months ago that the news that the business was expanding further even though he was excluded from the company to organize the belongings of unrelated people was communicated to the citizens.
Not only that, but also the news that eco-friendly waste business is being carried out.
Then, various companies said they wanted Nuri to dispose of the waste.
“As long as I am the final decision maker in charge of accounting, this is something I have to bear.”
“Still, I am concerned that this may cause problems with Director Jin’s health. Discussion with the deputy chief is over.”
“CEO… … .”
“To be honest, right now, Director Jin is in charge of not only accounting but also contract-related tasks.”
Manpower expansion was ongoing.
However, only the manpower involved in the field increased.
Although we were selecting as many people as possible administratively, it was a difficult part.
“Nevertheless, the second-generation deputies, who came to the scene this time, are showing quick work in their respective places.”
“You know it’s still not enough.”
“But you know that it is difficult to increase the number of administrative staff right now. Because of the nature of the business, you need to know the site to be able to carry out administrative tasks with ease.”
It has been a month since the second-term interns, who were selected a year ago, moved from the field to the administration.
Despite the considerable staffing, office work was still saturated.
“I am happily taking on this position. I can’t feel the fact that the CEO has brought this Nuri to this level.”
“… Director Jin.”
“Do not worry. Because you are taking good care of your health. Well, if you think it’s really sad, would you give me a vacation after a busy day?”
With a gentle smile, Jin Eun-soo got up from her seat.
You can’t spend your time like this when you have a lot of work to do.
“I’ll just leave.”
“… Please be patient. We will come up with a solution.”
When Jin Eun-soo left the representative room, Si-woo Lee sighed.
It was nice to expand the business, but I was dealing with a very busy schedule right now.
24 hours a day is not enough.
“CEO, reporters are constantly pushing interview requests. They are all rejecting it, but if it goes on like this, the computer operation may be paralyzed.”
Lee Moo-yeol entered the representative room with a blank expression on his face.
Hundreds of requests for interviews a day plagued the staff in the secretariat.
“Find newspapers and TV stations as much as possible. There are only three interview requests. Do you know that you can’t handle the entire schedule for an interview in this situation right now?”
“of course. I’ll try to find a place with as much reputation as possible and post a report.”
“By the way, I don’t know if the opening ceremony of the ossuary went well. It’s a pity that I couldn’t attend, but it can’t ruin an important event.”
The regret was strong.
Boseong was not the only one who put much effort into making the ossuary.
Nuri also worked hard to build an ossuary.
The moment Lee Si-woo came to the event, it was clear that many reporters would rush in.
“Anyway, Chairman Park has contacted me. It is said that the opening ceremony was completed without any problems.”
“That’s good.”
“As expected, the reporters came in more than the distinguished guests who were invited.”
“After some time, it will be quiet.”
