[Episode 42] A Combination to Celebrate?
Every day was a tiring routine.
If only I was tired physically, I could endure it, but I was also very tired mentally.
Although he was in the same position, Gong Tae-sik did not leave the office because he was older, so he left everything to Lee Seok-joon and was locked up in the office.
He just roars and gets angry at Jang Seong-woo’s actions.
‘I don’t know! I am now the judge of this judge!’
Work had begun, but Gong Tae-shik, who was still in a suit, opened the door to the office and left.
“This conductor!”
Lee Seok-jun, who was helping with the aluminum work, stopped what he was doing and approached at the sudden cry of Gong Tae-sik.
“I have someone I need to meet. Without me, the yard won’t go back anyway, will it?”
“The manager said that Deputy Manager Gong should be in the yard.”
“People have to do things wisely. is not it?”
Only a sigh came out.
Lee Seok-joon felt his patience gradually disappear as the two continued to go out for business.
“Do it yourself.”
Despite Lee Seok-jun’s cold words, Gong Tae-shik nodded his head calmly and hurriedly left the yard.
“Chief, isn’t that too much? No, even Manager Jang is going to die of a headache, so why did he receive such a human again… … .”
“Sunghoon-ah.”
“Yes, Chief.”
“Now I can’t eat anymore.”
The time has come to build a veneer with Yoo Jae-woo.
If Jang Seong-woo and Gong Tae-sik did not cut it, he had to leave.
The rationale was that if you didn’t like the temple, you should leave.
“Chief… … .”
“Can I see the yard by myself? sorry.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I want to make a decision with the boss. If it goes on like this any longer, it will only be difficult for you and me.”
“Chief, if something goes wrong, please tell me. I’ll hit you too.”
“Don’t do that. Even if I get cut off, you too have to endure.”
“Can I survive here between these two without the deputy chief?”
“don’t worry. I’ll tell the boss to bring you back to headquarters.”
* * *
Kim Seong-hoon left the yard alone and Lee Seok-jun, who moved to the headquarters, sat facing Yoo Jae-woo.
“Do you want Deputy Kim to return to the headquarters?”
“Yes, sir.”
“I put this on because I was afraid it would be difficult for the conductor alone, is there any problem?”
The reason why Lee Seok-jun was chosen as the role of monitoring Jang Seong-woo was simple.
He was honest, and he was never sloppy when it came to work.
There were things that Seokjun Lee showed during the past 5 years working at The K Besteel.
“Director Jang Seong-woo did not touch Deputy Kim because he knew that it would be convenient to have someone in charge of the yard. But deputy chief Gong, who does not know that, continues to touch Deputy Kim.”
“Hmm… … .”
“I’m here to tell you that we need to take action before we lose a useful employee.”
Yoo Jae-woo did not regret that he accepted Jang Seong-woo for nothing.
To prevent Jang Seong-wu from moving freely, he added a Gong Tae-sik with a similar tendency to him.
However, the synergy between the two made it harder for those working in the yard.
“So, now Manager Jang and Deputy Manager Gong, are you both in the yard?”
“They both left. Director Jang left early in the morning, and Director Gong had just left.”
“They both left… … .”
“There is someone in charge of the yard, so it seems to be more comfortable to walk outside.”
So far, Yoo Jae-woo has not been as much involved in the yard that Jang Seong-woo is responsible for.
But after listening to Seok-Jun Lee, it seemed like it couldn’t be left as it is.
“Tell Deputy Kim to hold on a little longer, Deputy Chief Lee.”
“However… … .”
“The head office has already been filled. When Deputy Kim returns, there will be one more person working at the head office, so someone has to quit their job.”
“I may be offended by this, but I think I have to.”
“Say it.”
“If you don’t bring Deputy Kim back to the headquarters, I won’t be able to last even a week. That’s how serious it is.”
“If you can’t endure this kind of work while working, you won’t be able to be an employee of The K. Tell me that you will respect Deputy Kim’s will.”
“okay… … .”
“I know this deputy is going to be sad, but hold on.”
It wasn’t that Lee Seok-jun himself was talking about returning to the headquarters.
Yoo Jae-woo only refused the request to return Kim Seong-hoon.
Of course, all rights to personnel rights belonged to Yoo Jae-woo.
‘okay. If you don’t like this system, I’ll leave.’
Having made up his mind, Seok-Jun Lee looked at Jae-Woo Yoo with a hard expression.
“Do you have more to say? Deputy Kim alone in the yard? Hurry up and go protect it together.”
“I want to stop.”
“yes? What does that mean?”
Yoo Jae-woo’s eyes widened at Lee Seok-jun’s sudden words.
I didn’t understand what you were trying to stop.
‘I’m not saying I’m quitting The-K. If I had quit, I wouldn’t have lasted five years.’
After Jang Seong-woo came in, Lee Seok-joon had to face Yoo Jae-woo’s true self.
As I learned about some of the problems that are intertwined with Nuri Recycling and The K Bestil through Kang Pil-jung, my love for this place quickly faded.
‘If I had made money honestly, The K would have been a target right away.’
It wasn’t the first time I’ve been expelled from the steel mill for mixing messy things.
For that reason, The K Besteel was stamped by steel mill inspectors.
If I had been honest, I might have been able to get the code for the Daehan Steel Mill with the help of DS.
“Chief, aren’t you asking what you mean to stop?”
“I want to stop doing this.”
“What?”
“Thank you for that.”
Already this place was rotten to rot.
The K Besteel was not a company that Lee Seok-jun himself could change no matter how hard he tried.
Of course, it is okay to receive a paycheck while being nervous, but Lee Seok-jun’s pride did not allow it.
He had the idea that the employee should earn a profit equal to the salary he receives from the company.
If you don’t work and are lazy, you don’t need to be at The K Besteel.
“Are you serious?”
“Yes, I am serious.”
Yoo Jae-woo didn’t know that Lee Seok-jun was like this.
Yoo Jae-woo laughed inwardly at Lee Seok-joon’s sudden resignation without saying anything.
The reason I loved and cherished him is because he gave The K Besteel a great advantage.
But there was no need to catch Lee Seok-jun, who said he was going to quit.
‘Anyway, as long as the head office site goes well, that’s enough. Even without this conductor, it’s enough to go back.’
The headquarters where Lee Seok-jun left was taking place to some extent with the arrival of new employees.
He didn’t run a separate business, he just acted as the manager of the yard.
Even if he quit, Yoo Jae-woo thought that it would not be a big loss for The K Besteel.
“If this is what the deputy chief intends, then you can cool off for a while. Return the vehicle.”
“All right. Thank you for that.”
Lee Seok-jun was relieved and sad at the same time.
Because he didn’t say that he had a hard time, and instead said goodbye by saying that he should return the car.
But Yoo Jae-woo was relaxed.
‘I’m going to come back anyway. If I can’t get a job at another company, I’ll have no choice but to come back.’
* * *
next day.
Jang Seong-woo, who heard from Yoo Jae-woo that Lee Seok-joon was quitting his job, could not go out and kept the office.
But there was a scoundrel by his side.
“Chief Gong, aren’t you working?”
“I only work on business days, so I don’t know much about yard work. Why isn’t Chief Jang not working?”
There was a man in front of him, brazenly sitting in his office and talking on the phone.
Gong Tae-shik hung up the phone with a blunt expression on his face.
“I am in charge here. Where are you going to work for me, Maraya?”
“I am a salesperson. As each of us has a job to do, isn’t it enough if I am faithful to my work?”
“what?”
“And why are you half-talking? No matter how high the rank, don’t we need to be respectful to each other? May I tell you something too?”
Jang Seong-woo did not understand why Yoo Jae-woo received such a person.
In his eyes, Gong Tae-shik is an incompetent human being who is just sloppy and fussy.
“ha… … .”
“If you act like a Kkondae, there will be no employees who will like you. He is someone I need to work with in the future, so I am giving him some advice.”
“what? nerdy?”
“yes. The manager is the best Kkondae I have ever seen.”
After saying those words, Gong Tae-sik got up and left the office with a sad expression on his face.
Jang Seong-woo was at a loss for words.
“That kid… … .”
As Jang Seong-woo followed him outside, he saw Gong Tae-shik shouting at Kim Seong-hoon, who was working in the yard.
“Deputy Kim, aren’t you doing your job right?”
“I’m still doing my best, Deputy Chief Gong.”
“Director Jang and Assistant Manager Kim don’t do it right, so I’m the only one who wants it. Do it quickly!”
He is nagging at Kim Seong-hoon, who silently does his job.
When he had to manage the junkyard yard by himself, Kim Seong-hoon had to quickly feel tired.
‘You said you’d bring me back to headquarters. But if the deputy chief quits, what do I do… … .’
It was suddenly delivered yesterday.
Lee Seok-jun just said he was sorry.
Kim Seong-hoon, who remembered his declaration to quit The K Besteel, sighed deeply.
Gong Tae-shik was constantly nagging next to him.
“When are you going to work on aluminum? And there are still a couple of things I need to work on, when are we going to do them all at that speed!”
“Oh really! Aren’t you doing too much? I’m working alone, receiving guests, so why bother me because it’s not enough for me to tell you that I’m having a hard time?”
Still, my mind was in a complicated state.
Unlike Gong Tae-sik, Lee Seok-jun, who had worked with him, always encouraged Kim Seong-hoon.
“You say things like that to an adult so you don’t have to go anywhere! If you don’t want to work, get out, you bastard.”
“Hey, do you think this is the only job I will be going to?”
“If you are so full of yourself, go out.”
“It is.”
“What?”
Kim Seong-hoon took off his gloves and threw them on the floor.
If it was this shape when we just started working together, it was obvious that we would have to suffer even more in the future.
In that case, it would be better to just throw it away and leave.
“I don’t do it because it’s dirty and disrespectful.”
Kim Seong-hoon went inside and changed into casual clothes and came out.
Then he went into the office and bowed his head to Jang Seong-woo, who was embarrassed.
“Thank you for that. I will submit the resignation letter to the representative separately, manager.”
“Deputy Kim, why are you doing this? Even if you kill me badly, I have to endure. In my time, I endured unconditionally!”
“I think it’s different from the former manager Jang. It’s because I’m mentally rotten, so please understand. Then suffer.”
Kim Sung-hoon opened the door of the office and left without looking back.
“Don’t regret it. I will never accept it again.”
“I have no regrets.”
As Kim Seong-hoon left the yard as it was, Jang Seong-woo sighed and put his hand on his forehead.
“You shouldn’t be like this, too. Isn’t that right, boss?”
“what?”
“When I see a guy in his mid-30s quitting because he couldn’t stand any of these things, it reminds me of the past. I struggled with a boss who was a trashy boss.”
“I’m not a Kkondae, but Deputy Director Gong is more like a Kkondae. When I see them living in old memories, I can only sigh.”
“Ah, that’s not it. There will be no one who can surpass Director Jang’s kkondae power. haha.”
There was a saying that you can’t spit on a smiling face.
Gong Tae-sik was smiling and touching Jang Seong-woo’s heart.
“Since Deputy Director Kim has quit, the rest of the yard work should be done by Deputy Chief Gong, right?”
“The person in charge here is Manager Jang. You don’t want to see your yard go crazy, do you? If Manager Jang works, I will.”
Jang Seong-woo was just one step away from being welcomed.
‘I’m really going crazy. What the hell are you going to do with this little bastard? ha… … .’
I felt excruciating pain.
Jang Seong-woo, who felt his stomach hurting, took a deep breath.
Then I had to change into work clothes.
Two people who have to work in the yard because Kim Seong-hoon quit.
Even when working, the two constantly collided.
“No, since you dealt with aluminum in your previous job, can’t you do such a small job?”
“Because I was in sales. If it wasn’t for the manager, I wouldn’t have taken off my suit in the first place. So, I should have held on to Deputy Kim.”
“No, Deputy Director Gong made Deputy Kim quit, and he blamed me for it? ha… … .”
Gong Tae-sik proceeded slowly with a work that only needed to loosen the piece with an electric drill.
Jang Seong-woo couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
‘Lee Si-woo, if it were him, he would have been able to handle the amount of work this man did in an hour! shit… … .’
Seok-Jun Lee or Si-Woo Lee.
Their inclinations were very annoying, but they did one thing very well.
Thanks to these people, Jang Seong-woo was always able to make phone calls in the office or go out of business without having to work.
“Why is it my fault that Deputy Kim quit? If Manager Jang had taken good care of Deputy Kim, this would not have happened.”
It really felt like I had cancer.
It feels like cancer cells are spreading all over the body.
At the speed of sighing, Jang Seong-wu picked up a piece of aluminum in his hand and threw it.
“I’m going to work, I’m not going to do it!”
“You’re working right now!”
“Are you swearing at me now? The fact that a person with no top or bottom is a conductor is proof that the last days are over. tt.”
“I definitely warned you. If you speak nonsense one more time, we will speak nonsense together! Can you tell the representative? Because I will never be cut off.”
If it had been an ordinary job, Gong Tae-shik would have been swept away by the atmosphere and moved passively.
However, Gong Tae-shik and Jang Seong-woo here were both people who committed corruption and were kicked out of their original jobs.
Besides, there was a lawsuit.
So there was no way I could go back and forth.
Both of them knew that the only way to survive in The K Besteel was to overwhelm the opponent.
“get out! I don’t need you here.”
“If I don’t like it, the manager leaves. I will never go out!”
“Where did this bastard come from… … .”
“Isn’t the manager a bit too lazy? But I didn’t kill anyone.”
“What?”
“Whether intentionally or by mistake, I know that one person lost his life because of Director Jang. I can’t let a person like that do this to me!”
Now it was war.
Goodwill was the most important thing to get ancillary income other than salary at The K Besteel.
‘Where do you want to try it?’
‘The goodwill can never be taken away! I have only one way to live You’ve been eating here for a long time without ever getting caught.’
sting-
Even though Jang Seong-woo endured everything else, he couldn’t stand the story about Lee Do-woon.
‘It’s not my fault! It’s your stupid brother’s fault! It’s absolutely not my fault!’
Jang Seong-woo resented Lee Do-woon since his death.
I thought it was unfair that an accident happened that day and that I had to be cursed instead.
“I just crossed the line, Commander Gong.”
“What good are you talking about?”
“There are things you can and shouldn’t say, but Deputy Director Gong said things you shouldn’t say. When guests arrive, take care of them. I will go to the headquarters.”
“I don’t like it. Manager Jang remains. I will go to the head office.”
The moment Jang Seong-woo was sent here, Yoo Jae-woo would decide only with his fragmentary appearance.
“Chief Ball!”
“If you don’t like it, why don’t we work together?”
The most important thing for Gong Tae-shik right now was to appease Jang Seong-woo.
And since Gong Tae-sik didn’t know anything about yard work, he couldn’t receive guests.
I didn’t even know how to use the equipment, and it was difficult to take it down by hand.
“I don’t know the equipment and I don’t know the price. Do you mean that you entrusted the yard to me and left knowing what would happen?”
Jang Seong-woo wrapped his head around the appearance of Gong Tae-shik, who pretended to be carefree.
‘Oh, damn it!’
It became a situation where I couldn’t do this or that.
