“Have you received payment?”
A cleaning management office belonging to the Vietnam branch located in the city.
I met Director Lee A-young in a shabby place separate from the branch building.
It was an office that was not used very often to begin with, and because it was a separate building from the headquarters, it was a place where no one could see it.
The reason we met at that place was because I thought it would be best to avoid being noticed by the branch staff as much as possible.
‘Especially those sent from the International Association may know me…’
The situation has been infiltrated secretly.
If you meet someone who knows your face, not only can your plan go awry, but a conflict may arise.
Therefore, the only local employees who know my identity are Huynh, Operation Headquarters Chief Nguyen, and a few team leaders.
Of course, Branch Manager Sean also doesn’t know anything about us.
“Yeah, whatever. “I didn’t even read it as expected.”
Director Lee Ah-young responded by holding out the approved documents.
I opened my mouth, checking the documents again.
“I guess so. In the future, there will be so many things to worry about, such as hub operation, planning to control by-product distribution, personnel reorganization, etc., so why not worry about cleaning?”
“Then wouldn’t it have been better to pretend it was an approval document and present another document? For example, a branch operation rights transfer agreement. “I wouldn’t have read it anyway.”
I quickly shook my head at her words.
“Isn’t that a scam?”
“Come now?”
“I’m not talking about morals, I’m talking about effectiveness.”
Director Lee Ah-young then expressed a small exclamation, as if he had overlooked it.
But even for a moment, with a somewhat shocked expression on his face, he tapped the document with Branch Manager Sean’s signature.
“Still, I feel something is missing. This is really a document about cleaning work. At best, you only have the authority to manage the entire cleaning team. “What can you do with this?”
“What are you doing? “I have to clean it.”
“….”
She opens her eyes and looks.
“Is it like this all the way here? “If you don’t tell me exactly what you’re thinking, I’ll go back.”
“….”
Tsk, I have a bad temper.
I quickly took a deep breath and continued speaking slowly.
“Do you remember how you rebuilt the organization after it had collapsed when you first came to the Vietnam branch?”
“of course. Increased recovery rate of by-products and maximized profits from conquest due to expansion of cleaning team. Following the support team, the operation team was also expanded. As a result, the subjugation system expands through a chain reaction. “This is still in the textbook at headquarters.”
“…?”
Well, I don’t know anything…
Anyway, I just need to know.
“It is impossible to blindly take over a branch that has already been taken over by the International Association. “As long as the subjugation industry across Vietnam is held hostage, not just the branch but the entire country could be in danger.”
“That’s it… I guess so.”
“More than anything, if we rashly cause friction with the International Association and then lose, we will lose the trust of other branches. “For us who have not yet established ourselves as an international organization, there is nothing more fatal.”
In other words, it cannot be resolved head-on.
“So we will continue to remain part of the International Association, but we will aim to regain full authority over branch operations.”
“Is that possible?”
“It’s difficult… but it’s also not impossible.”
She makes a puzzled expression at the ambiguous answer.
“Anyway, I plan to make the International Association withdraw its hands from the branch. Even if you have it, it has no meaning, or the benefit you get compared to the investment is overwhelmingly negative.”
“Wait a minute, are you sure…?”
“yes.”
I smiled.
“We will destroy the Vietnam branch from now on.”
Instead of answering, she placed her chin on her forehead.
“And the fact that a collapsed association can be revived by expanding the cleaning team means that if you do the opposite, even a prosperous association can be destroyed.”
“….”
“We will reduce the number of people to the maximum and keep the equipment to a minimum and sell it all. Of course, the work schedule will be less than 3 per day per team. And we reduced it from ten teams to five…”
“Wait! Wait!”
She interrupted me and raised a rebuttal.
“You mean… you are going to restructure the cleaning team? Are you trying to ruin the branch too?”
“Yes.”
In response to my answer, Director Lee Ah-young’s voice grew louder.
“These are people we directly selected two years ago. “Isn’t it a bit much to just throw him out now?!”
“Wouldn’t it be better than having the branch handed over to the International Association like this?”
“Anyway, that’s true! “We should at least listen to the opinions of the cleaning team!”
“So you’re saying you can’t follow me?”
“That…”
She hesitated, as if suddenly speechless.
I avoided eye contact and was lost in thought for a while without answering.
A few minutes passed and she seemed to have calmed down a bit and soon opened her mouth again with a calm face.
“The employees… don’t really care or care who the association is handed over to. As long as the salary is paid on time, it doesn’t matter who the owner is. This is especially true if you are at a lower level.”
“Well… I guess so.”
“But if what we have decided to do is to kick out people who have nothing to do with this matter…”
She bit her lip and continued with difficulty.
“I cannot agree.”
“….”
“No, to be honest… it might actually be better for the cleaning team members to belong to the International Association.”
I didn’t really react to her answer.
In all of the time she worked as my aide before my regression and the time she worked with me as a colleague after my regression… this was the first time she rebelled against my decision.
‘Well, if you think about it, she was originally this kind of person….’
I looked at her and muttered to myself.
He was a person who initially tried to leave the association because he was tired of such hierarchy.
It’s natural to feel ashamed that now you have to do the thing you hated the most.
Above all, what she said wasn’t particularly wrong.
The issue of where branches and hubs go is a matter for those who benefit from it, not for employees.
Rather, as she said, it may be better for the employees to go over to the International Association.
Therefore, it is ironic that employees are fired in the name of regaining the sovereignty of the branch.
but.
“Director Lee A-young, we are currently at war.”
A war where if you don’t eat, you will be eaten.
The moment you show even the slightest weakness, it won’t be just the cleaning team that will end up on the streets next.
That fact should not be overlooked.
“If you look at all of those things one by one, you can’t do anything. “If there is no way, there is no reason not to do it.”
“…”
I said more firmly than ever.
Director Lee Ah-young seemed to have a lot to say, but did not raise any further objections.
In order for the person sitting on top to maintain his or her position, the sacrifice of the person below is indispensable.
It’s for the company. It’s for everyone. No matter how you package it, it has no meaning to your subordinates.
Their unrelated sacrifices are forced upon them.
That is the organization and I have lived that way too.
But such contradictions do not even constitute a dilemma.
The real dilemma is… if you don’t throw it away when you can, someone could lose their life.
And I had to choose one or the other every time.
Nothing is different this time.
“Of course, we won’t proceed right away. “We have to create a restructuring list and re-adjust the schedule to suit local work methods and reduced staff.”
“….”
“Well, I’m planning to help with cleaning for a week and check things out. “You need to know how the work will be done, how many people will need to be reduced from which team, and how to work with the remaining people.”
Director Lee Ah-young still had no answer.
I looked at her for a moment and then stood up.
“If you have nothing more to say…”
With those words, he looked straight at her.
“Let’s go out.”
“….”
Nevertheless, Director Lee Ah-young stood in his place with his gaze down.
But even for a moment.
thud-.
Soon, he turned his back and left the office without saying a word.
“….”
I also looked at the place she left without saying anything.

“Oh, I’m back!”
“Mr. Junwoo! “Come and see us quickly!”
When I arrived in front of the dungeon where cleaning support was scheduled, Manager Park Geun-tae, Moon So-yeon, and Han Sang-hyuk pulled me in as if they had been waiting for me.
As I got closer, it seemed like there was some problem with the local cleaning crew.
“What is it? “What’s going on?”
“No, the boss here is a slime type and is trying to take the chainsaw!”
“I want to tell you to just take the knife because even if you take it, the flesh will get stuck on the blade and you won’t be able to use it… I just want to tell you to take the knife.”
Following Han Sang-hyuk, Director Park Geun-tae explained the situation.
‘What on earth…’
Someone is going through a headache because of the restructuring of the cleaning team, but someone else is pointing out the equipment.
Anyway, these people are sincere about cleaning even after coming here.
“…I understand.”
He nodded and turned to the local employees.
At the same time.
“No, what are we going to do now!”
“We need to get to work quickly, so why are you stopping us from going in!”
“Aren’t you here to help?!”
Local employees expressed their dissatisfaction with angry expressions.
Well… since you don’t know the English language, it’s natural to react like this.
I calmed them down and slowly explained what Director Park Geun-tae had pointed out.
“…ah!”
“Is that so…?”
“I didn’t think about that part…” The
local cleaners, who realized that he was trying to correct their mistake, scratched their heads with a puzzled expression.
Then he bowed his head towards the members of Team 3.
“I am an instructor.”
“Thank you.”
I said hello in awkward Korean.
“haha! I’m glad the misunderstanding has been resolved. “We are truly grateful~.”
“Then let’s get to work right away.”
“It took up all my time. “I need to hurry up, right?”
Team 3 members started preparing for work again as if they had never done so before.
I entered the dungeon with everyone.
Well, fortunately, the work itself went fairly smoothly.
“Please give me some medicine there. Uh… chemical chemical!”
“Oh okay.”
“The size of the slime is bigger than I thought… Should I divide it into 5 pieces?”
“I don’t like the fact that it was disassembled so much at the processing facility, but… I can’t help it.”
“Hey five equal parts. Oh, so… Five Pieces!”
“Five? okay!”
“be careful. Be Careful! okay?!”
“Okay okay.”
Everyone continued to work without any problems even with the poor language.
Even though their nationalities were different, they had the same job to do, so there seemed to be something in common just through glances and gestures.
I communicated with them without any need for a particularly long conversation…
and that relationship continued throughout the week.
