[Episode 7] People who believe in me
Jang Seong-woo still couldn’t calm his excitement, so he tried to act calmly with a bright red face.
“Ugh, what am I talking about with the little girl? Don’t say anything else later.”
Jang Seong-woo tried to get out of the junkyard with an irritated expression on his face.
At that time, Kang Pil-joong, who came to the junkyard earlier than the announced time for work yesterday, opened the door and entered.
For him, who had come to work early for a long time of 10 years, it was difficult to bear the late start time.
In the end, he couldn’t stand his aches and had to go to work earlier than the scheduled time.
“uh? Director Jang?”
“A river knight?”
Jang Seong-woo’s eyes widened.
Although Kang Pil-joong agreed to leave Nuri Recycling, he flatly refused to work at The K Besteel.
He could not help but be surprised when he came in through the door of this place.
“What is going on here? Ah, now you are not a director, but a manager.”
“Why is the river knight here?”
“Oh, you didn’t hear me. I work here again. The boss made me work again.”
“What?”
Jang Seong-woo felt that some of the plans in his head were shattered.
He tried to divert all the employees who worked here to The K Besteel.
And when I took over Nuri Recycling and became the person in charge of this place, I was thinking of bringing it back.
After all, they took care of all the chores for 10 years, and it was natural because there was nothing they were doing.
“You turned down my offer… … .”
“I don’t like The K. Maybe it’s because I’ve been working for 10 years, it’s like my workplace, so I’m attached to it.”
“Ha, that’s right.”
“I don’t know what you came here for, but if you don’t have anything else to say, let’s go.”
“What are you saying that makes you so sad?”
“Hey, I’m sorry. Let’s not say such things because we are not members of the same Nuri family.”
Kang Pil-joong’s sword-like attitude made Si-woo feel cool.
I said everything I wanted to say, but I couldn’t help but get angry when I was talking with a person named Jang Seong-woo.
Then, Kang Pil-joong appeared and said something like that, and I was just grateful.
Si-woo Lee approached the two of them.
“Are you here early? I told you to go to work at nine.”
“Ah, sorry. I’m suddenly late for work… what should i say about this I was worried about something and didn’t know what to do, so I just came early. haha.”
“You have to get used to it. It’s time for Knight Kang to think about his body.”
“Oh, the only person who thinks of me like this is the boss. I will adapt slowly.”
Two people having a friendly conversation.
Jang Seong-woo burst into anger and tried to go outside with an annoyed expression on his face.
However, he could not get out because he was blocked by two other people who came in with the door open.
“Park, Choi?”
“What did you come here for? Director Jang… No, Chief Jang.”
“what? Do you have more to deal with? After all, did the severance pay issue leave you?”
At Choi Moon-sik’s words, Park Tae-moon laughed.
“Really, I don’t care. Even if you work like a bitch, you’re still trying to get your severance pay.”
“Hey, what are you talking about? Still, how hard it is to stay still while everyone else is working. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t do it.”
When the two men sarcastically feed on Jang Seong-woo, Jang Seong-woo blushes and hurriedly exits the junkyard.
When Jang Seong-woo completely disappeared, the two quickly changed their expressions and approached Si-woo Lee.
“Sir, why is that person here?”
“I have something to discuss. Come into the office.”
“All right.”
The four entered the office.
Kang Pil-joong was the first to come, grab a cup of coffee and give each person a cup of coffee.
“thank you.”
Siwoo Lee, who received the paper cup, bowed his head.
He sips his coffee and shows the proof of yesterday’s contents to the other three.
“This… … .”
“Hey, where are you going to end up with these?”
“Dogs.”
Cursing came out of Park Tae-moon’s mouth.
And Choi Moon-sik and Kang Pil-joong burst out in anger with an absurd expression on their faces.
“No, does this make sense? I’ve only been an engineer, so I don’t know much about the operation, but I know about the contract amount.”
“That’s right, boss. This… This is absolutely absurd.”
“Certainly, Manager Jang, no, it must have been led by that bastard, boss!”
Nuri Recycling was not just Siwoo Lee.
It was also their precious place of work.
And it was Jang Seong-woo who tried to pollute the workplace.
Seeing the three people running wild as if they were his own, Siwoo Lee showed a faint smile.
“it’s okay. You don’t have to worry about this. I’ve already dealt with it, so it should be fixed without any problems. I showed it because I thought it would be good for the knights to know too.”
“If the boss says so… I will believe you.”
“Oh, and I have a new business partner. Everyone knows that it is made of famous mountain iron, right? The person who came yesterday was the representative of Myeongsan Cheolje.”
“Oh, well thought. The reputation of Myeongsan Iron on this floor is not bad. I hear bad rumors from time to time, but it’s probably just a rumor from a competitor. As far as I know, it’s a really nice place.”
Kang Pil-joong was able to talk to the owners of various junk shops while writing articles.
In the process, I naturally learned which companies had good reputations and which ones were bad.
“Yes, I think so too. The representative is also a good person. I think you can trust me just by meeting you for a while, but I’ll wait and see for a while.”
Si-woo Lee discussed the future with the three of them.
At 8 in the morning, it was early if I arrived at the others, but I could not find any tiredness in them.
Rather, they were concentrating on exchanging opinions with each other in a heated atmosphere.
At that time, Kang Pil-joong looked at the CCTV and tilted his head.
This is because an unfamiliar tong truck came into the junkyard.
“Today, Myeongsan said they would only take one light car and one heavy car.”
“Oh, I see.”
The forklift was placed on the weighbridge and two people got off.
One looked like a knight, and the other was Moon Jae-shin in work clothes.
Siwoo Lee opened the door and went out to meet him.
“CEO, I came early because I have a schedule today.”
“Welcome.”
To Jae-shin Moon, who shook hands with Si-woo Lee, the three employees stood up and bowed their heads.
Moon Jae-shin bowed his head with a gentle smile.
“My name is Jae-Shin Moon, the representative of Myeongsan Steel.”
The three people who were greeted politely continued their introduction.
Then, he made his way away so that the two of them could have a conversation.
“Then we’ll change into work clothes and come back, boss.”
As the three of them left the office, the knight who was with Moon Jae-shin bowed his head to Si-woo Lee.
“My name is Jun-sik Jin, director of Myungsan Steel, CEO.”
“My name is Siwoo Lee, interim representative of Nuri Recycling.”
“It would be better to remove the word “temporary”. Even if it is not legally settled yet, the owner of this junk shop is CEO Lee Si-woo.”
“Oh, I see. Thanks for the advice.”
But Lee Si-woo, who dared to put a temporary one, was just a happy Moon Jae-shin.
Si-woo Lee reached out to Jin Jun-sik first.
Jin Jun-sik politely took his hand and bowed his head once more.
“Director Jin will do most of the work in the future. You should discuss important things with me, but you can discuss with Director Jin about the condition of scrap metal and dispatching issues. Director Jean.”
At Moon Jae-shim’s call, Jin Jun-sik pulled out his business card from his pocket and held it out.
Si-woo Lee, who took his business card, smiled shyly.
“My business card is not ready yet. Excuse me, can I just give you my number?”
“Yes, you can.”
When Si-woo Lee wrote down his phone number on a notepad and handed it to him, Jun-sik Jin accepted it and smiled softly.
“I wish you all the best in the future, President.”
* * *
After a short coffee and chat, Jin Jun-sik headed to the scrapyard.
Lee Si-woo said to Moon Jae-shin, who was looking at the CCTV.
“The K came to me this morning.”
“Oh, you don’t have to worry about the contract issue any more. I told the DS side who gave the code to The K, so they will take care of it.”
“thank you.”
“I’m glad I could be of help.”
I expected it to take a little longer, but Moon Jae-shin solved the problem faster than I expected.
The ability is also an ability, but it seems that Siwoo is interested in Nuri recycling to that extent, so it gave me strength.
“Are you going to take the weight first?”
Si-woo Lee also followed Moon Jae-shin and shifted his gaze to the CCTV.
Jin Jun-sik was driving the tongs and parked the car near the weight.
Moon Jae-shin nodded at Lee Si-woo’s question.
“I’ll put my stuff down and come back right away. Light or heavy, you only need one car.”
After those words, there was a moment of silence in the office.
Si-woo Lee, who was quietly watching Jun-sik Jin work, carefully asked Jae-shin Moon.
“I have a question. How did you get to know Woo-cheol’s uncle, ah, Shin Woo-cheol? … .”
It was strange and curious that lawyer Shin Woo-cheol had an acquaintance with Moon Jae-shin, who runs a junkyard.
Moon Jae-shin put on a bitter expression at Lee Si-woo’s question.
“About a year ago, there was one legal issue that had to be resolved. That was the first time we met, and we’ve been friends ever since. A good friend.”
“okay.”
“Anyway, I heard that the friend offered to introduce you to Do-woon Lee, but I heard that President Do-woon Lee refused first.”
“Oh, I don’t mean it in a bad way. My father was a man who valued faithfulness very much… … .”
“Haha, I know. That’s why he was able to grow a junk store like this. I wanted to meet and talk at least once, but it was a pity.”
Dowoon Lee.
Moon Jae-shin was quite a famous person on the floor to the extent that he had even heard of his name.
He is very stubborn and very strong, so he values trust with his business partners.
It was said that he was an idiot.
“That’s it. I wish I had terminated the contract with K earlier and met the CEO… … .”
“Even so, I’m glad that I got to meet CEO Lee, isn’t it? I am sure you will be delighted to see the former president fill the void so well.”
Moon Jae-shin instantly regretted it.
It seemed as if he brought up the story of former CEO Lee Do-woon for nothing and made the atmosphere gloomy.
It must be so, because the corners of Ishiu’s eyes were already moist.
But I thought that for a while.
In Si-Woo’s eyes, which were welling with tears, he could feel something scorching.
Moon Jae-shin didn’t know what it was, but he realized that Si-woo Lee wasn’t weak enough to collapse with his father’s death.
It is rare to find a young person on this floor, but it is rare to find a person so full of willpower.
“Thank you for your kind words.”
“Thank you once is enough. Gratitude is not good if it becomes a habit, so it is better to be careful.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“You will feel the vacancy of your father, but if you are the CEO, you can do it well.”
You will do well.
Siwoo Lee muttered to himself as if to listen.
This floor had to be clever to survive.
But my father wasn’t smart.
I chose to be honest and be honest rather than getting smart and taking profits.
However, in the process, there were some parts that judged the gains and losses as excessively positive.
It was difficult to understand that part, but he respected it.
“I want to do well. It’s not enough, but I will do my best.”
“It’s a good attitude. I will do my best to help.”
After about an hour, the tong truck, which had finished loading the heavy scrap metal, climbed onto the weighbridge.
Jin Jun-sik got out of the car and walked to the office.
Si-woo Lee drew a payroll ticket, recorded it in the ledger, and bowed his head.
“You worked hard, Director Jin.”
“no. It’s my job. The quality of the goods was good, and I was happy the whole time I was working. But there is one thing that bothers me, can I tell you?”
Coming to Nuri Recycling, Moon Jae-shin said that although Si-woo Lee is young, he is not clumsy about junk dealers.
However, he said that there must be something lacking, and he even asked me to give him various advice.
“Yes, you can.”
“There are too many scrap metals that can go from Middle B to Middle A. It’s a good thing for us, but… It is clear that it would be a loss for Nuri, who should receive an additional 5 won.”
I knew that if the weights b and a had been properly separated, they would have been worth 5 won more.
However, Jang Seong-woo has already managed the situation in a mess.
There was already a lot of scrap metal piled up and it was not in a stage where it could be separated.
If he had sorted out scrap metal more systematically and meticulously, he would have been able to pass it on at my price.
If there was a lot of scrap metal that could go from weight B to weight A, the damage had to be carried by Nuri.
“I recently became the CEO. As Director Jin said, there are a lot of medium A items mixed in, but there is nothing that can be done right away, so I left it alone.”
“That’s right.”
“Now, after removing those items, I have to separate them well from now on. It will be cumbersome, but I hope the Myeongsan side chooses it well and sells it at a reasonable price.”
It was true that I was greedy.
However, the problem was that it was cumbersome and difficult to separate the already mixed scrap metal again.
We had to consider the cost of oil and also calculate the time required for work.
So, it was better to just skip the whole thing for this time.
“Thank you for your kind consideration, President.”
“No, I really appreciate your honest advice. I am glad that I can help the famous mountain even in this way.”
At first, I thought it was because Siwoo Lee didn’t know much about scrap metal.
But as I listened to the story, I realized that it wasn’t at all.
There were a lot of junk dealers who just looked at money and chose middle B and middle A.
However, he could not help thinking about the time required and the manpower required to do the work.
“Then I will put the scrap metal down in the yard and come back right away.”
“Yes, be careful driving.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
Jin Jun-sik nodded his head and left with Moon Jae-shin in the car.
Si-woo Lee, who had sent them away, looked around.
The employees had already changed into work clothes and were working.
“I don’t even have time to work yet, so what if I start?”
He was speaking like a rebuke, but Ishiu’s face was bright.
Hearing those words, the staff came to him.
“It’s good to start early. Wouldn’t that be better than making a fuss, boss?”
Kang Pil-joong answered with a bright smile.
grateful people.
Even though he was a young boss, I was grateful for the firm treatment of the president, and for working as faithfully as he did when he was a father.
With these people, I felt like I could do anything.
