The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 211

A tavern quite far from headquarters.
Choi Jong-hyuk and Moon So-yeon were drinking together.
The reason I came all the way to another area was not only because this was a famous store, but also to avoid the eyes of employees who might not know me.
“…So the fastest way to learn is to learn on your own. “If you help them too much, they will end up relying on you later.”
Choi Jong-hyuk was sipping Jeongjong and continuing to say things that were not asked.
“That’s why I’m deliberately treating you more coldly. It’s not because I have any ill feelings. “I’m doing this because I’m thinking of Soyeon, so you can understand, right?”
“Sure.”
Moon So-yeon answered with a smile.
Choi Jong-hyuk seemed to really like the reaction and said as he held up the bottle.
“Now, Soyeon, get a drink too.”
Before I knew it, her nickname had become our Soyeon.
It was obvious to anyone who was in his mid-30s what he meant by using such a title to a woman in her early 20s, but Moon So-yeon did not show any signs of displeasure.
Choi Jong-hyuk interpreted the reaction however he wanted.
“So, Soyeon.”
“yes?”
“What does it mean to want to create a corner of trust? “I might misunderstand, so… I think it would be better to say it in a way that is easier to understand.”
“Is there anything to misunderstand? “Of course, I want to look good to my senior.”
“ha ha ha!”
Choi Jong-hyuk laughed heartily, probably because it was exactly the answer he wanted.
“Well, once this review is over, the promotion is confirmed. “If this team leader is kicked out, he might have to sit in that position for a while.”
“For a little while? Where else are you going?”
“Ah…”
At that moment, Choi Jong-hyuk closed his mouth as if he had made a mistake.
Then he waved his hand and hesitated.
“Well… you don’t have to know.”
“Hey, where is that? “I want to know more about you.”
“….”
Choi Jong-hyuk swallowed his saliva.
Of course, that story wasn’t something worth sharing with anyone.
However, perhaps because he was drunk, Choi Jong-hyuk felt like it would be okay to talk a little bit.
“Quite…”
I cleared my throat once.
“Do you know that Director Park Jang-mok?”
I finally said that name.
“…no. “This is my first time hearing this. Are you a high-ranking person?”
“He is quite a high-ranking person even within the headquarters. Anyway, I happened to have a conversation with the International Association. And that person entrusted the job to me. So, I think I’ll probably go to the International Association after this job is over.”
“wow! Really?! “As expected, he was a great person!”
Moon So-yeon responded loudly by clapping her hands.
And then he asked vaguely.
“Anyway, what about this incident…?”
“Of course, that bitch Kim Min-ju….”
Oops.
Choi Jong-hyuk realized his mistake late.
I immediately looked at Moon So-yeon, but instead her eyes sparkled and she was impressed.
“also! “So this was all planned by you?”
“Hmm… That’s right.”
“You are truly amazing. “You’re driving the head of the operations headquarters to the brink just by spreading rumors.”
“Well, it’s no big deal. “The more flawless people are on the outside, the more effective these rumors are.”
“Aren’t you scared? From what I heard… I heard that CEO Kim Jun-woo is the kind of person who, once he bites, won’t let go until the end. “You might get caught.”
“doesn’t care. There is no evidence that I spread it anyway. “All you have to do is pretend not to notice.”
“You’ve thought of everything up to that point! “You are truly amazing.”
“Well… it’s all the wisdom of life. ha ha ha!”
I smiled exaggeratedly, as if I was embarrassed by the constant compliments.
“Anyway, it’s over for Kim Min-ju now. It looks like they are looking for the ringleader, but there is no solid evidence. Director Park Jang-mok is also hiding just in case.”
“okay.”
“Well, anyway…”
Eventually, Choi Jong-hyuk’s voice changed quite a bit.
At the same time, his eyes began to look somewhere other than Moon So-yeon’s eyes.
“Do I have to go home early today?”
“yes yes?”
“If time permits, let’s go for the second round.”
Choi Jong-hyuk’s hand went to Moon So-yeon’s shoulder.
Moon So-yeon was startled by the sudden touch and immediately pulled away, but the more she did, the closer Choi Jong-hyuk came.
“Didn’t Soyeon ask to meet you first today? He said he wanted to create a corner of trust. “Then you wouldn’t have expected this much.”
“Oh, that’s…”
Moon So-yeon continued to avoid her gaze in an embarrassing situation, but the more she did, the closer Choi Jong-hyuk clung to her.
And that was the moment when Choi Jong-hyuk grabbed Moon So-yeon’s hand.
Whoa!
“Aaaah!!”
Something blunt hit him in the face.
At the same time, blood poured out from the mouth and nose.
“What the fuck!!”
Choi Jong-hyuk raised his head without even having a chance to feel pain due to the sudden situation.
“…are you all?”
There, Planning Director Han Yu-bin was glaring at him with murderous eyes.
And it wasn’t just Han Yubin who was there.
“Take your hands off me.”
Just then, a man approaches from a corner.
“Before I cut it off.”
None other than the head of Karma Corporation.
It was CEO Kim Jun-woo.
***
“Representative Dae…?”
“Long time no see. Mr. Choi Jong-hyuk.”
“What are you doing here…!”
Choi Jong-hyuk seemed very embarrassed by the sudden situation.
However, after a while, he realized something and shifted his gaze towards Moon So-yeon.
“You can’t believe it…”
Moon So-yeon took out her cell phone and played the recorded voice as if responding.
“also! “So you planned it all?”
“Hmm… That’s right.”
“You’re really amazing. “You’re driving the head of the Operations Center to the brink just by spreading rumors.”
“Well, it’s no big deal. “The more flawless people are, the more likely it is for these rumors to spread.”
Choi Jong-hyuk’s pupils shook greatly at the clear sound of his own voice.
“You, you bastard….”
“Mr. Choi Jong-hyuk!”
At that moment, Moon So-yeon opened her mouth in a stern voice.
“As the person in charge of the personality evaluation, I hereby inform you that you have been disqualified in all personality items, including work attitude, interpersonal relationships, and personality evaluation.”
“…what?”
“Furthermore, the behavior just moments ago was clearly sexual harassment. “We will file a separate complaint in that case.”
“Ha ha ha….”
Choi Jong-hyuk lets out a laugh as if he is lost.
“What nonsense. “You’re the one in charge of personality evaluation…?”
“Moon So-yeon, head of the cleaning department at the Planning Headquarters. “I am definitely a member of the headquarters evaluation committee.”
She smiled and took out a business card.
An expression that doesn’t understand what the situation is.
Finally, Choi Jong-hyuk’s eyes turned to me.
“I’m sorry. CEO! I’ll explain everything! “If you’ll forgive me just once…!”
“Why are you apologizing to me?”
You didn’t do anything to me.
I found the wrong person to apologize to.
Choi Jong-hyuk must have realized something only then, and turned towards Moon So-yeon again.
“I’m sorry about myself. No… I was wrong! Please give me just one chance!”
“That might be a bit difficult. “I’m a person who just evaluates based on principles.”
“I’ll give you whatever you want! I will do my best to convert that person to a full-time employee…”
Choi Jong-hyuk trailed off as if he missed something.
It seemed like he came to his senses only then.
The fact that she is in charge of personality assessment means that it is a full-time job and she is not trading with anything he has.
In the first place, she was of a much higher rank.
“Ha hahaha….”
Choi Jong-hyuk let out a bewildered laugh.
I walked up to him and made eye contact. Immediately, he grabs the leg of his pants and hangs down.
“Representative! It’s a misunderstanding! That’s not what I meant…!”
“Please shut your mouth. “Don’t make me say the same thing over and over again,”
he continued, letting out a light sigh.
“Honestly, this alone is enough to hold you accountable… but if it ends here, the person watching your back might cut off your tail. Then again, we are doing something stupid.”
If you miss him now, your chance to catch him will disappear forever.
So, somehow, we need to use this opportunity to get Director Park Jang-mok involved.
“Please call that person right now.”
I said, handing him the cell phone.
“Actually, it was all a joke! “I just pretended to look great, and that wasn’t the case at all…!”
“Ugh… Moon So-yeon.”
“yes.”
“Please leave all the customers and close the door.”
After a while….
Drurr-.
At the same time.
Whoa!
Han Yu-bin’s fist hit him in the face.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!!
Choi Jong-hyuk fell to the floor, grabbed his face, and shouted.
“What are we going to do now? Anyway, this is…!”
“Thank goodness it’s that much.”
I shrugged my shoulders and answered.
“Because I tried to stop you from killing me.”
“….”
“Now, ‘our’ Hunter Choi Jong-hyuk has two options.”
I continued, spreading out two fingers.
“Would you rather take it all on yourself and go to court for expulsion and defamation? Or… would you rather sell the Park Jang-mok move and receive extenuating circumstances?”
“….”
“You will have to choose quickly. “The general manager here is very impatient.”
I said that and looked at Han Yubin.
Choi Jong-hyuk swallowed his saliva as he looked at those eyes that seemed truly lifelike.
Immediately, I picked up my phone with trembling hands and pressed the button.
“Yes yes… Director.”
He looks up at me as if asking what he should say.
I showed him the memo I had typed on my phone beforehand.
He read it and continued the call.
“Oh, it’s just that… there was a setback in the plan.”
“Yes, yes.”
“No, that’s it…”
“Director Kim Min-ju… has gone missing.”
***
“missing?”
Tokyo branch, Japan.
Director Park Jang-mok’s eyebrows twitched at the sudden news delivered by Choi Jong-hyuk.
“What does that mean all of a sudden? I’m missing you. “Did you go diving or something?”
“I think so.”
“What’s the big deal? “Why are you going to work as if nothing happened? Why are you going to stay locked up somewhere until things quiet down?”
“I don’t think it’s that simple of a problem.”
Choi Jonghyuk’s answer was cut off for a moment.
“A note that appears to be a suicide note was found in the office.”
“…What?”
Director Park Jang-mok’s eyes widened at the truly shocking story.
“I heard it was about things like I wanted to die because I was so wronged… It seems like the headquarters has already requested the police to investigate. “We will conduct a thorough investigation into this incident along with the search for disappearances…”
“What the fuck…”
Director Park Jang-mok cursed and placed his head on his chin.
This is just a scandal.
It’s just a shapeless rumor with no source or basis.
Since there is no target, you can’t file a complaint, and so you can’t catch the culprit. At least until now.
However, if the police get involved… it goes from being a shapeless rumor to an incident with precise cause and effect.
“People who appear to be involved are already asking various questions about the operation team… “I said I didn’t know for now, but is it okay if I leave it alone?”
“Of course not.”
Director Park Jang-mok began to feel dizzy.
This was unplanned.
I was just planning to disqualify him based on aptitude test, but I never thought it would get this big.
If something happens to the head of the department… then it will be a really big problem.
If they start a full investigation of all employees, it will only be a matter of time before their plans are revealed.
Let alone a plan, you may end up behind bars.
This is dangerous.
Somehow, you have to take care of it yourself first.
“What about CEO Kim Jun-woo? “How is he reacting?”
“They say they’re looking for the head of the headquarters… but there doesn’t seem to be any news yet.”
“Hey, if something goes wrong with him, we’re all in trouble. “Before we go into police investigation… no matter what happens, we have to find it first.”
“yes yes? But what can we do…”
“First of all, come there last time by 3 a.m. today. Don’t tell anyone.”
Director Park Jang-mok took a deep breath and continued.
“I will return home right now.”
