“As always, it’s a hot place whenever you go.”
Ndzili International Airport, Democratic Republic of Congo.
As we left the gate, Ha Seong-il, the sales manager of Hanbyul General Trading Company, spoke first.
“Are you okay, CEO? “Shall I get some water?”
“No, it’s okay.”
“What about Team Leader Kim Min-ju? Oh, please take your luggage here. “I will listen.”
“Oh no. “It’s okay…”
We answered with embarrassed faces.
It’s not that I wasn’t, but I was feeling uncomfortable with his excessive kindness that continued from the plane.
If it were someone I didn’t know, I would have just told him to stop now, but that wasn’t possible.
‘I never thought I would give my youngest grandson…’
Team Leader Ha Seong-il.
The youngest grandson of Chairman Ha Deok-soo and the younger brother of Ha Seong-tae, whom I killed with my own hands.
It’s not like I have bad taste. How did they appoint this person?
-Even though the child is young, he will be of great help.
Well, since Chairman Ha Deok-soo says that, he must be a trustworthy person.
Above all, it is said that he started as an intern and worked his way up to team leader.
Looking at his manners in his words and actions, it is clear that he is a different person from Ha Seong-tae.
“I think the employee who was supposed to pick us up from the branch is a little late. “If you just sit here, I will contact you.”
“Oh yes….”
“….”
Still, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable.
Ha Seong-il took out his cell phone and made a call somewhere.
After a short conversation in fluent English, he approached us again.
“They say we’re almost there. “They say it will arrive within 5 minutes.”
“okay.”
“Anyway… these are people I’ve always wanted to meet, so I’m really nervous about working together like this.”
“Ahaha… You don’t have to float like that.”
It might be okay if it were someone else, but it’s even more burdensome because it comes from the Ha family.
It seems like he himself is not aware of it.
“You’re making it fly. Aren’t these two legends in this industry? It’s hard to say that we’re in the same industry, but as someone who works in dungeons, I can’t help but respect them. ha ha ha.”
“….”
“….”
Judging from his genuinely excited voice, it doesn’t seem like he’s lying.
‘Is this the social life of a chaebol…?’
I wonder if he is good at being naughty or resourceful…
As I was thinking that, Minju Kim waved his hand and opened his mouth.
“But in this case, the team leader is more of an expert, so please be a little more comfortable with him. “I heard you’ve been to Congo a few times?”
“Ah yes. I’ve been here a few times on business trips, but I’ve only done a few small contracts. “How can I wrinkle in front of a chrysalis?”
And then he scratches his head with a puzzled expression.
“By the way, Hunter Kim Min-ju….”
“Yes?”
“I know it’s rude, but…”
Ha Seong-il trails off, looking quite embarrassed.
It was a while to hesitate like that.
He blushed and cautiously opened his mouth.
“If you don’t mind, can I just shake your hand!”
“…?”
“Personally, I’m a big fan so… ha ha ha!”
…What the hell is this guy doing?
Kim Min-ju looked at me a little embarrassed.
I shrugged my shoulders to tell him to take care of it, and then he willingly held out his hand.
After completing the brief handshake, Ha Seong-il shows a grumpy expression and even clenches his fist.
“You’ve grown a lot. “I gained fans.”
“…I think you’re a good person.”
okay.
He’s definitely not a bad guy like Ji.
The problem is that he’s weirder than his brother.
“Are you Mr. Kim?”
Just then, a white man in a suit approached me.
“Oh yeah. you’re right.”
“sorry. I’m a little late. “This is Bruce, head of the Central African Unity Branch.”
“Nice to meet you. “This is Kim Jun-woo, CEO of Karma Corporation.”
The branch manager said he would personally come out to meet me…
This feels a bit cold.
“I have a car waiting over there. “Let’s go straight to the branch.”
“….”
“….”
Branch Manager Bruce pointed to the parked limousine, but Minju Kim and I hesitated.
Then Team Leader Ha Seong-il asked worriedly.
“Why are you doing that?”
“…it’s nothing.”
He answered vaguely and lowered his voice towards Kim Min-ju.
A not so good memory came to mind.
“Just in case, don’t fall asleep this time.”
“…yes.”
I got into the car with firm determination.
Fortunately, none of the things we feared happened.
***
Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Central African Temporary Integrated Branch of the International Association of Nations is located on the outskirts of the country.
We were guided by Director Bruce and entered his office inside the building.
“Well… first of all, the situation is a lot worse than you think.”
Those were Branch Manager Bruce’s first words as soon as he sat down.
“Why would an international association branch request support from an external company? “I assumed it to some extent.”
“well. “It will be worse than you imagined.”
“….”
Well, it’s so bad that they’re already putting the finishing touches on it.
As I was making a puzzled expression, Branch Manager Bruce asked quietly.
“Anyway, what is the cost of subjugation support? If our situation is not so good and the cost is too high….”
“Well, it depends on the period and number of people, but in this case, you don’t have to worry about the cost. “We do not want to charge any support fees, including down payment.”
“yes yes?! Is that true?”
“yes. Instead, there are conditions.”
An anxious look appeared on Director Bruce’s face.
“…Tell me.”
“If stable subjugation becomes possible in the future with our subjugation support, I would like you to promise an exclusive export contract for Fractal with Hanbyeol Trading.”
His eyebrows twitched.
“So… do you mean that we will provide subjugation support on the condition that we exclusively supply Fractals to you?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm…”
I patted my chin and lost in thought for a moment.
After a short conversation with the secretary next to me, I opened my mouth again.
“great. “Anyway, resolving the current situation is the most urgent priority.”
You seem to be taking it more coolly than I thought.
I smiled in satisfaction and got to the point.
“Then can we check the status of the operation now?”
“…Of course.”
Director Bruce gestured to his secretary, who brought him the documents.
While I was checking the documents, my expression became increasingly serious.
“Teacher, this…”
Kim Min-joo also seemed to notice something strange at once.
“It doesn’t make sense even if you look at it, right?”
“yes. “I can’t come up with these numbers.”
I nodded.
Currently, there are a total of 43 operational teams belonging to the integrated branch.
Considering that the operational area is the entire Central Africa, the number is not that large, but it is not a huge shortage either.
But for some reason, the total amount of subjugation falls far short of that.
If you look at the numbers, it’s at the level of 10 operational teams at best.
Of course, it is a hastily integrated temporary branch, and due to insufficient infrastructure and support, smooth suppression will be difficult.
But even so, this amount of subjugation with an operations team of this size makes no sense.
“Chief Bruce.”
Finally, I opened my mouth.
“Is this really the number of people on the operation team?”
“…That’s right.”
“You have to be clear so we can help. There are 43 operation teams, and the average monthly subjugation amount is 300. “Isn’t one operation team unable to subdue even 10 units per month?”
“….”
After hesitating for a while, he opened his mouth with difficulty.
“The border dispute is in full swing. Civil wars also break out often.”
“…What does that have to do with it?”
“There are many hunters in the operation team who fall into that direction.”
“…yes?”
“It means that troops are being dispatched.”
“This is crazy…!”
Without realizing it, I started swearing in Korean.
Are you using hunters as war troops?
And it’s not just a dispute, it’s a national dispute?
Is this why you laid the groundwork like that?
‘It’s really going crazy.’
Shocked for a moment.
I looked back on my memories before returning.
Even at that time, a temporary integrated branch definitely existed. If the situation had been the same back then, he would have definitely been caught at some point.
However, I have never heard of any reports that the temporary integrated branch dispatched hunters.
Instead, I’ve heard other reports, but…
‘For now, that’s not important.’
I opened my mouth with a serious face.
“Is this… does the Lions Clubs International headquarters know about this?”
“You never know. “If I had known, I wouldn’t still be sitting here.”
Look what I’m saying.
Are the branch heads unaware of the seriousness of the situation?
“You couldn’t have made the decision yourself, so who gave the order?”
“From the Congo government….”
“Tsk.”
Well then.
“I cannot understand why we are receiving government interference even though we are in name only a branch of an international association. “Can’t we just ignore it?”
“We are not a branch of one country. “We need to subdue all of Central Africa, but if we refuse the request to send troops, the government will not give us permission to leave the country.”
“yes? “Then how do we subdue neighboring countries?”
“Of course the Congo government is in the position of saying they don’t know. Because of that, the conflict worsened.”
“Whoa….”
It’s really fucking annoying.
Should I come to support the subjugation and resolve national disputes?
‘Should I just throw it away now…?’
In a short moment, I thought about it hundreds of times.
At that time, I was half giving up because I had no idea where to start and how to solve the problem.
“Well, I think it will work out somehow. “Let’s proceed.”
Team leader Ha Seong-il suddenly opened his mouth.
“Are you sure? thank you!”
“….”
“….”
Unlike Branch Manager Bruce, who expressed his gratitude with a bright expression, Kim Min-ju and I were extremely dumbfounded.
No, why are you here?!
***
“Haa….”
As soon as I finished the story and came out into the hallway, I let out a sigh.
A guy who is supposedly a descendant of an entrepreneur accepts that without hesitation? Do you have thoughts or not?
“Ho, did I make a mistake?”
As we were building the porridge table, team leader Ha Seong-il became restless and opened his mouth.
I wanted to snap at him for asking because I didn’t know that, but I tried to show off my anger and answered.
“It was something to at least think about. “It is not enough for us to solve the problem on our own because it is intertwined with the situation of the government and neighboring countries.”
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
A truly sorry expression.
Then he quickly starts making excuses.
“I just thought that if we asked the Congolese government to stop sending troops, the whole problem would be resolved…” “
If you had thought they would have listened to us if we had asked them to stop, would you have called us?”
“The new idea was short. “Actually, I had some connections with the Congolese government, so I thought something would work out, but I guess I was too proud.”
“…I beg your pardon?”
I opened my eyes and asked again, and he answered in a hushed voice.
“Well… I told you that I’ve been to the Congo a few times on business. At that time, while signing a contract with the Congolese government to supply subjugation equipment, I built up some friendships with high-ranking people there…”
“Team leader Ha Seong-il.”
“yes yes.”
“Let’s talk about things like that in advance from now on.”
Is this why Chairman Ha Deok-soo said it would be helpful?
I fucking love it.
