[138] Activity begins
“I heard that the investigation team is visiting the company today? However, Assistant Manager Cha has not resigned and is holding on like an iron tendon. The person who made the company noisy.”
“So. Shameless, too shameless.”
Cha Il-joon, who had become a whistleblower, could not keep his head up.
With the exception of some field workers who supported him, all employees of the company were harassing him from behind.
“Chief, have a cup of coffee.”
Cha Il-joon, who was fighting with the heat at the scene today, sat on the floor blankly throughout the break.
Not all employees hate him.
The employees who worked with him for a long time in the field were on Cha Il-joon’s side.
“Are you rude and rude? It’s because the garbage guys who sit comfortably in the office and receive rice cakes are trying to shift all the responsibility to the manager.”
“Hyunseong-ah, I submitted my resignation letter. I will no longer be an employee of this company from tomorrow.”
“Chief… … .”
It took a week for the investigation team to be formed.
For a week, Cha Il-joon felt like he was living in hell.
I wanted to hold on as long as I could, even when I saw the faces of my family members I liked, saying that I got a job at a public company.
But as the days went on, the pressure from above was intense.
“I wanted to endure even if it was dirty and humiliating… I’m sorry, Hyunseong-ah.”
“You know whistleblowers know it’s hard to get a job elsewhere. Even if it’s dirty and disrespectful, you have to see your family and endure… … .”
“I don’t think I can stand it any longer. I’ll come back with more pressure once the investigation begins. You should quit now.”
Chun Hyun-seong couldn’t even comfort him when he saw him frustrated with his gloomy expression.
It has been 5 years since Cha Il-joon got a job at the Suwon incinerator.
Even though those years were a waste, he had a strong will to endure, but the reality of being a whistleblower did not change.
“Chief Cha Il-jun?”
Cha Il-joon, who was sitting on the floor with a shriveled face, raised his head at the voice calling his name.
A man stood in front of him with a faint smile.
“Yes, I am Cha Il-jun, but who are you?”
The faces of the employees working in the field were already known.
But the man standing in front of him now had an unfamiliar face.
“Kuhm, I’m Ko Seok-hwan from the investigation team in charge of investigating the Suwon incinerator.”
Ko Seok-hwan, the only undisclosed person among the first-year interns of the bodyguard, pulled out a business card and held it out.
Cha Il-joon, who politely accepted his business card, blinked.
‘Are you Seok-Hwan Ko, the head of the Nuri Recycling Strategic Secretariat?’
The fact that the head of this investigation team was determined to be an outsider, Si-woo, was widely spread.
Cha Il-joon’s eyes widened at the name of Nuri Recycling.
“Before the investigation began, I came to protect Deputy Minister Cha Il-joon, who will help with the future investigation.”
“… Everything I know has already been told to reporters.”
“It will also be an investigation, but the help of the deputy who knows this organization best is absolutely necessary. I heard that you submitted your resignation letter, is that correct?”
“yes… … .”
“You may find it difficult to get a job because you are branded as a whistleblower.”
It was a known fact.
Cha Il-joon got up from his seat and looked at Ko Seok-hwan.
“It’s something I did, so I think I have to take responsibility for it. You can open a store with the money you saved up.”
“Aren’t the experiences and know-how you’ve accumulated over the years worth it?”
“… No company will accept me.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Yeah… I was a whistleblower who caused a lot of damage to the organization.”
I became a whistleblower because I wanted the organization to go on a better path.
I thought that it was absurd for a public corporation that had to deal with the inconvenience of citizens to do something that harmed the health of the citizens.
As a person working in the field, I went out to take care of the minimum rights.
But there was no company to rewrite him.
“Now that your resignation has been accepted, you are free. Would you like to hold my hand, Cha Il-jun?”
At Ko Seok-hwan’s sudden suggestion, Cha Il-joon paused and took his outstretched hand.
“Do you want to move to Nuri Recycling?”
“yes?”
“The CEO said that he would respect Il-Jun Cha’s opinion. You do not have to accept my offer. But what has already begun, shouldn’t it be finished?”
Siwoo Lee predicted that he would not be able to hold on to the company.
I was sure that a person familiar with the inside and Cha Il-joon who knew the system of this incinerator would play a big role in this investigation.
“I… Are you saying you will accept it?”
“Thanks to Mr. Cha Il-jun’s courage, the issue of the incinerator became a public debate. Since you have started, you have to see the end.”
“… I am a whistleblower.”
“It will be different from this organization you enjoy.”
In the first place, the reason the whistleblower couldn’t get a job at the new company wasn’t a big deal.
Because I can’t be honest.
The reason was that hiring a whistleblower could cause damage to his company as well.
But it was not enjoyed.
“Does this mean that it is being operated with dignity?”
“As an employee of Nuri, I can say with certainty to former Cha Il-joon. It will be a new opportunity.”
It was Cha Il-joon’s decision to let go of Ko Seok-hwan’s hand.
Cha Il-joon pondered for a moment at the appearance of Go Seok-hwan, who had unshakable eyes, and held his hand tightly.
“At least, I want to see the end of what I started, Director Ko Seok-hwan.”
“You made a good decision. As of today, Cha Il-jun has become an employee of Nuri. Congratulations.”
“Without an interview… Is it something I can decide?”
No interview was necessary.
Because Siwoo Lee saw him in person.
“As long as the CEO decides, Nuri’s employees will unconditionally follow.”
As soon as he accepted the offer, Seok-Hwan Ko took out an ID card from his pocket.
This identification in the form of a necklace was a mark of being a member of the investigation team.
“Get ready to be put in as a member of the investigation team that begins today. You have to change clothes first.”
He already had a suit to change into in his closet.
Siwoo Lee was sure that he would unconditionally accept his offer.
“… Are you going to be active from today?”
“The representative will come in an hour. First, wash up and change your clothes. I put my clothes to change into in the closet.”
Cha Il-jun, who looked at him blankly, walked to the shower room with a determined expression on his face.
Cheon Hyun-seong, who was watching the whole situation, scratched his head.
Seok-hwan Ko, who turned his body while receiving his gaze, pressed the button on the in-ear.
“First mission completed. Did the representative leave?”
As I muttered in an unheard voice, a voice came from the in-ear.
[You have departed now, manager.]
“Shall we do a sword dance? How did the investigation go?”
[30%. We have completed some investigation on the small intestine. Now it’s time to identify the people who helped with the work with the warden.]
“Lee Moo-yeol, team leader?”
[I left for the Suwon incineration plant with the CEO.]
“Is it time to wrap up the week’s work? Please tell Muyeol that you are joining the strategic secretary’s office immediately.”
[Yes, manager.]
Upon hearing the news that Si-Woo Lee had departed, Seok-Hwan Ko rushed out to the entrance.
The man who grabbed his arm as he walked briskly frowned.
“Intern Seok-Hwan Ko.”
For the past week, Ko Seok-hwan has been working undercover to check Cha Il-joon’s dynamics and understand the internal situation.
And the man who grabbed his arm was Ko Seok-hwan’s archer, Park Shin-woo.
“Yes, sir.”
“Where are you going other than shredding? You’ve been looking for a long time under the direction of the warden!”
At the age of 29, he was a savvy boss regardless of his age.
His position was manager, but his main job was to handle the back of the director.
“Senior, I only worked on shredding for a week.”
“If you get a job at a public company, you just have to say ‘thank you’ and do it properly. What are you looking for like that?”
The word I heard so much that my ears bled for a week was a public company.
“It’s not a campaign to go to a public company, it’s a strange logic.”
“What? Are you talking to me now?”
Ko Seok-hwan was 31 years old.
I’ve been putting up with superhuman patience for a week to hear the little guy say bad things.
But now there was no need.
“Calm down too. How long are you going to take care of the small intestine? Then everything flies away.”
“What’s wrong with this!”
As Park Shin-Woo was yelling in the hallway full of employees, Chun Hyeon-Sung rushed to him.
“Aren’t you, by any chance, Manager Park Shin-woo of Administration Team 1?”
“What else are you? It’s like a field job, don’t interfere and get out. Where are you going to work?”
The little guy only learned something really bad.
For a week, Ko Seok-hwan was beaten by him, often in the back of the head.
He was a very stressful boss.
‘I was lucky.’
While working here, there were things that I felt deeply.
That means Ko Seok-hwan is very lucky at work.
Although he was a non-regular worker, Kang Dong did not at least ignore the employees working in the field.
However, in this place called a public company, office workers looked down on those working in the field.
“No, not that… this person is… … .”
Chun Hyeon-seong tried to speak quickly, but Park Shin-woo did not listen to him.
He just pushed Cheon Hyunseong, who was blocking his way.
“Ouch!”
“What is your rank? Are you blocking my way to the subject of the little guy?”
Ko Seok-hwan could no longer look at Park Shin-woo’s wrath.
Ko Seok-hwan, who was watching the situation, took out an employee ID from his pocket and threw it in his face.
“Hey, you bastard.”
Park Shin-woo, who met the tradition of the ID card that was sent to his face, hastily grabbed his face with his hands.
“Go Seok-hwan!”
“Where is the little bastard? public company employee? I don’t need that. I’ll return your ID, so take it with you.”
“Okay. Were there people who wanted to call you an intern? Even if it’s not you, people are piled up like a mountain.”
“Hey, I don’t go even if I beg to go to a public company like this.”
Ko Seok-hwan approached Cheon Hyeon-seong, who had been pushed by Park Shin-woo and hit a wall, and supported him.
“Are you okay?”
“ah… Boss.”
“Why are you holding on here until you see this? Looking at my job at a public company, I think I will be able to work for other companies.”
“… It’s a public company.”
Numerous job seekers wereted their time studying and saying they would join a public company.
Ko Seok-hwan once thought that he wanted to become a civil servant.
But time was not on his side.
In order to make a living, I got a job as an irregular worker in Gangdong.
“You’re not even our employee anymore, are you going to quit?”
It was not possible to leave a person who had asked to resign on his own at the company.
Go Seok-hwan laughed at Park Shin-woo’s words.
“The name?”
“It’s called Cheon Hyun-seong.”
“Can you tell this guy about my identity?”
Cheon Hyun-seong nodded at Ko Seok-hwan’s request.
“Director Park, I know this is Manager Ko Seok-hwan, who belongs to the Nuri Recycling Strategic Secretariat.”
“What kind of bullshit? Why is Nuri Recycling here?”
“I don’t know why they call him an intern and treat him like an intern, but the manager seems to be making a big mistake right now.”
“What? What are you, judging me that my actions are wrong?”
I couldn’t quite get the words out.
Park Shin-woo was also a famous person within the company.
A person wielding considerable power with the halo of the warden.
Park Shin-woo couldn’t stand the words of Chun Hyeon-seong pointing out his actions and raised his arm.
“Are you going to stop?”
After taking a shower, Cha Il-joon, who had changed into a suit that Ko Seok-hwan had left, grabbed his arm.
“A car dealer?”
“A young man learns only the wrong things. And now I’m no longer a proxy. I resigned.”
“Heh, that’s fine. Because I think it’s very rewarding to cause damage to the organization and to hold out for a week.”
Kuk-
Cha Il-joon gave a strong force and put pressure on Park Shin-woo’s arm.
“Aww!”
“Do you think the guy who squirms in the office will become his strength?”
He has endured five years as a field job, shoveling ashes stuck in a narrow pipe.
As a result, his strength was different from that of ordinary people.
Park Shin-woo screamed in pain and twisted his body.
Cha Il-jun, who let go of his arm, clicked his tongue.
“Hyunseong-ah, don’t try to stay here until you’ve been through something like this. Before you regret like me.”
“Sir… … .”
“Are you young? Enough to start over.”
