Yeouido Administrative Headquarters Conference Room.
A board of directors meeting was convened and all directors, including Association President Park In-beom, attended.
“So you’re going to reduce the number of people on the cleaning team?”
Chairman Park In-beom, who was quietly listening to the agenda presented by Director Choi Ho-seong, opened his mouth heavily.
“yes.”
“How long have you been the head of your headquarters?”
“Today is the fourth day.”
“So, just four days after taking office, you brought up the topic of restructuring the cleaning team…”
the president of the association asked vaguely.
“Do you know who that seat was?”
“…I know.”
“okay.”
The president of the association stroked his chin and then raised his eyes upward.
“But would someone who knows that say something like that?”
“….”
A sharp look fell on Choi Ho-seong.
Choi Ho-seong’s entire body froze for a moment due to his charisma that was hard to believe in an old man.
But even for a moment.
“Please look at this.”
He took out the materials he had prepared.
It was already expected that he would be criticized.
Isn’t it obvious?
A person who is almost deified is now going to destroy what he has raised.
Above all, I heard that the two men who currently hold all the real power in the association, President Park In-beom and Director Lee Doo-sik, also have a personal relationship with Kim Jun-woo.
Nevertheless, the fact that he openly brought out the card of restructuring in front of them showed that he was very confident.
“As you can see, there is currently not much budget left at the Seoul headquarters. “As we have dragged everything into the next quarter and the next quarter, it is expected that there will be a delay in paying the salaries of the operation team this month.”
“Still, the profits coming from the current subjugation trend and the development of the Vietnam branch must be quite significant, right?”
The president of the association, who was checking the data, refuted this.
Since it was an expected rebuttal, Director Choi Ho-seong opened his mouth without hesitation.
“The profits from the subjugation have barely made up for the large-scale interception damage that occurred last time, and we don’t know how long it will take for the Vietnam branch case to generate revenue. “This will result in a huge deficit for at least half a year.”
“….”
The president of the association saved his answer.
Director Choi Ho-seong continued speaking, thinking that this was the time.
“Of course, it would be great if we could all work together to overcome this difficult time. I didn’t bring this up because I didn’t like it either. But you all know that it’s realistically impossible.”
“Then how about temporarily adjusting the hunters’ salaries? I’m sure they’ll all understand. It’s a bit too much to cut off so many people just because it’s difficult for a moment…”
“Even if we adjust the hunters’ salaries this month and somehow make it through… then what will you do next month? What about the next month? If the salary cut for hunters doesn’t cover it. Next, the directors’ salaries will also have to be reduced.”
“Hmm…”
“No, not that bad…”
Clearing coughs came out here and there.
At that reaction, Director Choi Ho-seong sensed victory.
No matter how much you care about your employees, in the end it’s all just words.
There are no colleagues or subordinates in front of their own food bowl.
Ho-Seong Choi knew that fact very well.
Of course, there were people who didn’t.
“Not like this! “Don’t we all acknowledge that the cleanup team played a big role in being able to raise our subjugation performance to this level?”
Sure enough, it was director Lee Du-sik.
However, this time, there was no need for Director Choi Ho-seong to object.
“But… honestly, the budget for the cleaning team is too big, isn’t it?”
“That’s right. Even so, the number one priority of the association is the operations team, but it is a bit much for me to think that the hunters are suffering because of the cleaning team…” “
Let’s think about it realistically. In reality.”
Other directors came forward and started to stop him.
Public opinion has already tilted.
Director Lee Du-sik, who felt a sense of crisis, looked at the president of the association. It meant to ask me to say something.
After thinking for a while, the president of the association opened his mouth again.
“…Well, it’s not wrong.”
He gave an unexpected answer.
“President of the Tongue Association!!”
“Quiet. “It’s not just something that comes out emotionally.”
“….”
A stern voice.
A shadow fell on Director Lee Du-sik’s face.
“Director Ho-seong Choi.”
The association president’s sharp eyes once again turned to Choi Ho-seong.
“If there is any problem with this agenda, you will be responsible for it all. “Can you do that?”
“of course.”
“Yes…”
The president of the association frowned at the confident answer.
I hope so for a while.
“Go ahead.”
Permission from the association president was granted.

Cleaning team office.
Manager Park Geun-tae received news like a lightning bolt.
“Restructuring the district?!”
His voice was trembling.
However, on the contrary, the man sitting across from him had a very calm tone.
“Along with the reduction in personnel, there will also be a major adjustment in salaries.”
“Isn’t this a bit too much! “It’s been so long since you took office that you’re already pulling out a knife!”
“Chief Geun-Tae Park.”
Director Ho-seong Choi continued, picking his ears as if he didn’t want to hear any more.
“This has already been decided from above. If you want to argue, go upstairs and argue. “It’s no use telling me.”
“….”
Manager Park closed his mouth.
The look in his eyes that looked at me was something I had seen several times before.
The look in his eyes that he didn’t even think twice about being a fellow colleague.
It was the look in Kim Jun-woo’s eyes that made me think I would never see him again after he joined the association.
“First, please receive applicants and make a list. As I said, it’s half. “If the list is insufficient, I will handle it on my own from then on.”
“….”
Director Choi Ho-seong left the office after leaving those words.
Soon, Manager Park Geun-tae’s complexion turned pale.
‘I can’t believe it was decided from above…’
Others may not know, but the president of the association and director Lee Doo-sik are not people who would agree with this agenda.
Even though I thought it couldn’t happen, I had to accept the reality that was immediately upon me.
Manager Park, who was looking at the list left behind by the head of the headquarters, immediately threw his head back.
There is no way there is anyone who wants to retire.
The only thing that was done was to fill out the list on your own, whether by placating or recommending.
‘You’re telling me to fill this…’
Manager Park’s eyes darkened.
I was wondering what to do with this.
That’s when the thought of contacting Junwoo suddenly crossed my mind.
The office phone rang.
“Your cleaning manager, Park Geun-tae…”
A low voice was heard, interrupting his greeting.
“President of the Tongue Association?! Ah, hello!”
It was none other than Park In-beom, the president of the association.
Manager Park unconsciously held the phone with both hands.
“yes yes.”
“I just came and went anyway.”
“yes. “They tell me to start by writing a list of applicants… I’m really at a loss.”
“yes yes.”
That moment.
“…yes?”
I received unexpected words.

[Large-scale restructuring of the dungeon cleaning team at the Korean Association’s Seoul headquarters]
Outskirts of Seoul. Old office.
While I was having a late lunch with Director Lee Ah-young, some news came on the television.
[Association President Park In-beom dismisses ‘an inevitable choice due to worsening finances.’ In addition, ‘We will actively support job change and re-employment.’ Remarks]
[A dungeon cleaner who was suddenly driven out onto the street. But are all of them willing to resign voluntarily? ‘I was promised a job at another company’ topic.]
[Where are all the cleaners who volunteered to join the association? ‘Karma Corporation’, a company that dispatches cleaning teams, is a hot topic.]
“Huh…?”
At the same time, Lee Ah-young’s chopsticks suddenly stopped.
Soon he turned his head towards me with round eyes.
“What is it…? “Is that a true story?”
“Well…”
he answered vaguely, but Director Lee Ah-young still looked like he had a hard time believing it.
And that moment.
The office phone started ringing.
“Yes, Karma Corporation… Yes, that’s right. Oh, you’re coming here with your resume? Yes, four hours are fine. Okay, I’ll see you later.”
I asked as soon as the short phone call ended.
“Are you a support job?”
“Yes… I was part of the cleaning team at the Seoul headquarters and was recommended this place…”
The voice said, still not knowing what was going on.
But as if there was no time to think, the phone rang again.
“Yes, we are currently recruiting. “Oh yes.”
“The salary will be determined through negotiation, but we plan to set it at the same level as the association.”
“Ah, let’s discuss it with the CEO first…”
“Ah, yes. of course. Then, I’ll send you an email and send you there…”
The inquiries continued as if the phone was on fire.
As I was silently looking at that scene, my cell phone also started ringing.
I quietly left the office and answered the phone on the emergency stairs.
“So, have you seen the news?”
The president of the association suddenly spoke.
“yes. “I just saw it.”
“I gave you half as much as you wanted. Well, they will put in their resumes on their own, but just in case, I will send you the list later.”
“Thank you. Thank you for your hard work.”
As I said hello, a deep sigh was heard from the other side.
“Hey, you idiot, even if you can’t find a job, did you have to go this far?” “
You know that it’s not like you don’t know about the association’s finances, and if you leave it alone, it’s going to explode at some point.”
“You know it’s all because of you, right?”
“Isn’t that why I helped you? Well, the association saves its budget and I use the employees. The employees’ jobs remain the same. “Isn’t it all good in the end?”
“You really are crazy…”
The association president sighed.
“Above all, you can rest assured that the people brought in this way will never come under the notice of the International Association.”
“I tell you clearly, don’t let me get involved in something like this again. Do you know how much pain I went through? Lee Doo-sik said he just looked at a bug.”
“Hahaha, I’m sorry about that. Please explain later.”
In any case, I was satisfied that it went as well as I wanted.
Yes, in fact, this restructuring was planned from the beginning.
Well, strictly speaking, it was more of a gamble than a plan.
A gamble on Choi Ho-seong.
“But how did you know that Choi Ho-seong would raise the restructuring agenda?”
“He is a person who ruthlessly cuts off the tail when a crisis comes to him.”
“So how did you know that?”
“Well… “If you ask me, he’s like my old teacher.”
I gave a vague answer.
Ho-seong Choi.
A man who succeeded Seo Min-cheol as the head of the operations headquarters before returning.
He was a person who taught me quite a lot, as he had just become the leader of Operation Team 1 at the time.
Among them, the most representative one is….
‘It was something to do with the lizard’s tail.’
It’s been so long that I don’t even remember much anymore.
In any case, the performance he showed as the head of the operation headquarters was truly remarkable.
There were many cases where the entire team was overthrown at any given opportunity, and the cleaning team’s wages were cut every year until eventually it was cut in half.
I was sure that he would think of reducing staff as soon as he saw the budget I had created.
Also, the cleaning team that I consider to be the most useless by my standards.
So, I recommended him to the president of the association as the next head of the operations headquarters.
In order to stabilize the association’s finances and bring all of the restructured personnel to my side.
In addition, since the article was published, the company was well promoted.
Of course, no one knows this matter except me and the president of the association.
“But the good news is that when I told them I would send them to your company, they all said they would leave voluntarily. On the contrary, there were so many people who wanted to leave the company that we had to draw lots to eliminate some of them.”
“Has something like that ever happened?”
“Tsk, it’s a shame that everyone is satisfied. If there was even the slightest dissatisfaction, they would have done something bad to you and me. “Do you know?”
“I know.”
“Anyway, since it’s like this, do your best. “If you do something like this and take him away and make our employees suffer, I won’t leave you alone.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”
He answered like that and smiled slightly.
“Anyway, what do you plan to do, Choi Ho-seong? This time, I see that he is a man who will do anything to protect his position. “It’s a bit uneasy to keep him sitting there.”
“It’ll be okay. “He’s the perfect person to put in the right place and use as a long-term horse, right?”
“Sometimes, you seem like the worst person.”
“…Is that possible?”
You’re quick-witted.
Is this a privilege?
“Anyway… is there any response from the International Association?”
“It’s been quiet since you left.”
“Thank goodness.”
“So, when do you plan to proceed with overseas acquisitions?”
“Well… I have to solidify my position before I can do anything. “I think we have some trustworthy employees. For the time being, I plan to start by establishing a foundation with the branch.”
“okay. “If you need anything else, don’t contact me.”
“….”
After saying that, I put down the phone.
And that moment.
“Junwoo!”
“It’s been a while?”
“What is this company building? I had some expectations because it was so proudly displayed.”
Soyeon Moon, Sanghyuk Han, and Yubin Han visited the office.
