Episode 196: The Flower of Evil (3)

after the exam is over.

K-Edu Business Planning Department preparing for the 2021 school year.

Kim Ji-yeon, a new employee who joined her K-edu earlier this year, approached her shooter, Assistant Park Jin-seok, and opened her mouth with a peek.

“Senior Park Jin-seok. Did you hear ‘the rumor’?”

"no. You were too busy to hear the rumor? Employee Jiyeon Kim, isn't it very busy? Do you even hear all these rumors?”

“Ugh, of course I… I'm busy too. However… I was worried that I might become a person behind the rumors... That means... .”

A light smile appears on her face, Park Jin-seok, who sees her hastily, using her highest name in a way that doesn't suit her.

“It’s a joke, man. What are you fussing about?”

“Oh, were you kidding me? Phew, I'm glad I knew you were angry again... .”

“Hey, are you going to be mad about something like that? Who would think that I get angry every day?”

“Then wasn’t it? Why do you get angry at every meal... .”

As she tilted her head and spoke, her Park Jin-seok looked at her with her absurd expression.

“Hey man, that’s because the company’s rice is filthy and tasteless. Don't you know that you shouldn't count as angry? Anyway, I also like rumors, so if there is an interesting story in the future, I’ll report it right away, okay?”

"Yep! all right!"

“… It’s all good, but can’t we just use that supreme title?”

"that… Other seniors... .”

“Hey, what is the world like now… Anyway, it's okay in front of me, so please speak comfortably from now on."

"Yes… .”

"okay. By the way, what the hell is ‘that rumor’?”

“Ah, that’s… Why did our company try to win a state-run project, but it didn't work out... No, don't you?"

Hearing Kim Ji-yeon's words, Park Jin-seok traced his own memory.

“… What if that hardship caused you to die directly and only drank water?”

“Yes, then.”

“What do you remember? If you think about that time, do you still know how to grind your teeth? No, I couldn't even go home for weeks, and I worked to die, but in the end what? 2nd place? 1 billion difference? I'm so stupid... .”

Then he started muttering for a while.

It seems like there's been a lot of stuff that I've accumulated over the years.

An embarrassed smile hung on Kim Ji-yeon's face as she watched him grumble.

Then, seeing this, Jinseok Park shook his head.

“Ahh, that’s it. What am I doing in front of my child? But why?”

“Isn’t there a company that won a business order instead of ours back then? Why is that hermit crab school?”

“Oh, I know. Why doesn't it appear in a lot of articles these days, but this time, 23 people on the SAT got perfect marks. Heh, I couldn't believe it when I saw it. But why there?”

“Well, there are rumors that the company is being manipulated by Internet comments.”

Park Jin-seok tilted his head as if strangely.

"okay? Huh, is it a big deal? No, there are only 23 perfect scores, but what kind of idiot does such a thing? Honestly, the timing is too bad, isn't it?"

Kim Ji-yeon's expression changed after hearing his words.

"that is… I think it’s probably our account.”

"what?"

Park Jin-seok looked at Kim Ji-yeon with an expression that asked what kind of chubby sound he was talking about. It was because his common sense didn't quite understand what she was saying.

Then she opened her mouth with Kim Ji-yeon covering her mouth with her hand.

“That’s exactly… The people on Choi's side... .”

In an instant, Jinseok Park's face hardened.

“Crazy.”

"Yes?"

“No, the manager said he was crazy. Huh, what are you doing at this time? Comment manipulation? Jill got a sidekick and got sick of it If you want to die, why would you go to the bridge over the Han River by yourself and lay out the Hongdong white paper and go through it? .”

intense dis.

These were very strong words for an evaluation of the head of the department.

Kim Ji-yeon, who heard Park Jin-seok's words, looked around her with a surprised expression.

"Elder!"

"Why?"“Your voice is too loud!”

Then, I chin to the manager's office and point my hand to my ear.

You may hear it, so be careful.

Park Jin-seok looked at Kim Ji-yeon's worried expression and put a smile on his lips.

She seemed happy that she cared for her.

However.

“How is it true?”

Then, the more he did, the more playful he became.

Then Kim Ji-yeon opened her axe eyes and opened her mouth.

“If you keep doing that, I won’t say it again.”

"okay okay. I'll be careful. I can’t even speak because I’m scared of junior Won.”

“No, it’s not that senior… .”

“All right, man. I don't even know what you're talking about Anyway, is this a big deal?”

"Yes? why?"

“No, if what you said is true, I think we need to find another company right now.”

“Hey, do you really need to do that? No matter how big our company is.”

“Heh heh, Employee Kim Ji-yeon, you don’t know yet, but the moment you say ‘Is it?’ is your last chance.”

Then he looks at her with her serious expression.

Seeing his expressionless expression, Jiyeon Kim opened her mouth with a bewildered look.

"that… So what do you do? If I get fired from this company, I might get kicked out of my house, right?”

“Jjjak, think you met a good shooter. Still, there was one contact coming in these days, and I'll take you with me.

"really?"

“Then really. Have you ever been deceived by people?”

“Hey, that’s good. thank you senior I thought I was being kicked out of the house without fail... .”

“I have work for you to do instead.”

“What? Just tell me, if there is anything I can do, I will do it unconditionally!”

"really? You won't regret it?"

“… Well… This isn't strange, is it?"

But even then, the way he gently covered his body seemed to think of something strange first.

“Byul Dabang Java Chip Frappuccino.”

"Yes?"

“Buy coffee.”

“Hey what! You were surprised!”

After a while, they went down the elevator to get some coffee.

* * * *

When the sound from outside the door disappeared, the man inside the manager's office. Choi Gwi-hwa, head of K-edu's business planning department, frowned.

“Damn disease, this guy’s company has no secrets. No, I want to start a business, but there are so many mouths. eh.”

It has been just three months today since he, who was the head of the sales department, passed away as the head of the business planning department.

It was because I felt like my motivation was waning when I heard such a story while I was under stress because things were not going well.

“Whew… .”

Choi Gwi-hwa let out a long sigh.

As much as he has eyes and ears, he was well aware that this is not a good time to proceed with business, and that the evaluation of people within the department is getting worse because of that.

So, in my mind, I wanted to put everything back in its place and go back to the original department right now.

But.

‘It would be impossible.’

Knowing very well that the one who put him on the job, who could bring him down to hell, wouldn't be just watching him, he was forced to weep and mustard.

'Huh, then he shouldn't have taken the position of manager.'

With a sigh, Choi Gwi-hwa recalled his memories of the day he first came here with the title of manager.

3 months ago.

[Come to the office of the head of the business planning department right now. Vice President]

When he came here with a sudden call. He received an offer from Vice President Choi Jeong-soon.

That's right... … .

‘Chief Gwi-Hwa Choi. How is the position of head of business planning department? Do you have any thoughts?’

He promised to give him the position of head of K-edu's business planning department, who had been in the manager's office for many years. That was it.

gulp-

The moment he received the offer, he felt saliva in his mouth.

It was a bit disappointing that the position that Jeong-soon Choi suggested was not the position of the head of the sales department he had worked so far, but that was because it was a good enough proposal.

‘Finally, there will come a day in my life when I hear the voice of the manager.’

the problem is… It was that Vice President Choi Jeong-soon made the proposal and his predecessor, Kim Hyung-ro, was present.

‘… … .'

A body trembling and sweat dripping non-stop.

The moment I saw the empty eyes of Director Kim Hyung-ro, I couldn't open my mouth easily.

'Ah… that is… .'

But from the beginning, his will was not very important.

‘Hmm, if it’s because of the person next to you, don’t worry. Because that person has decided to work a part-time job from today.’

Choi Jeong-soon, Vice President

Because it was a one-sided notice.

She looked at him with a look that didn't think of any objections.

So he had no choice but to nod his head without saying a word.

It was because it was clear that if she went against her heart by mistake, the life of a senior manager like herself would disappear in an instant.

‘Because even the head of the department can fly away.’

But at the same time, I was a little excited.

Even though it was a place where you could fly right away from the words of Vice President Choi Jeong-soon... Anyway, the manager is the manager.

Because he could have unlimited power within his department if he was careful only with people in higher ranks than him.

‘Chief Park, repeat that this bastard is dead.’

Then, even when I was kneeling on the marble floor, laughter came out of my mouth.

But.

‘Then, Chief Choi. I'll give you the first task. You can use any method, so please don't let the name Hermit Crab Academy be heard anymore. Instead, we will not accept failure, so be prepared.’

The moment he heard Choi Jeong-soon's words, he felt the nape of his neck become supple.

It was because she could feel the poison in her words.

OK.

‘Dishonorable Retirement. Relegated to an overtime job. Resignation for health reasons.’

The words of past managers began to come to mind.

'I'm crazy, why would I do that... It would be better to rot by exaggerating ten thousand years.’

After waking up from a dream, he decided to turn down Choi Jeong-soon's offer.

But the moment he raised his head to open his mouth.

He couldn't say anything.

because… … .

Choi Jeong-soon's eyes were looking down at him.

It's as dry as looking at weeds that have grown between sidewalk blocks.

The moment I looked at her calm eyes, which was unbelievably since she had struck down the person who had been moving like a limb.

Because she realized she was caught in a net she couldn't get out of.

'after… .'

After accepting the position as the head of the department, he started looking for ways like crazy.

It was because he had a gut feeling that if he couldn't find a way to bring the hermit crab academy down, his neck would be blown away.

And as a result, he was able to find a way.

That's right... … .

‘Comment Control Team’

They were the ones who systematized the manipulation of comments, which had been carried out with fists in the past, and created a new wind in the world of public opinion manipulation.

Of course, it was not that the comment manipulation had not been used before.

Not long ago, when Manager Kim Hyung-ro tried to check and attack Hermit Crab Academy, he used his own comment manipulation.

However.‘A rich database accumulated through many years of experience’

‘Professionals with long experience’

‘Name value of being number one in the industry’

Compared to the skill of the comment manipulator he found, the skill of the comment manipulators brought in by Manager Hyung-ro Kim was just a baby's.

As for the skill level... … .

[August market share of Hermit Crab Academy 55%]

[September market share of Hermit Crab Academy 56%]

[Hermit Crab Academy market share 48% in October]

.

.

Is the market share of the hermit crab academy, which has been rising without knowing the end, faltering?

Thanks to that, for a while, there was not a day when the smile on Choi Gwi-hwa's lips didn't dry up.

‘It’s different from being number one in the industry.’

Obviously, the risk of failure was great, but that was because the benefits of success were also great.

But.

Did someone say, 'It's not over until it's over'?

[Shock! Of the 33 who passed the SAT this year, '23' are from a private academy!]

As an unexpected situation exploded, the fire fell on Choi Gwi-hwa's foot.

Only 23 full marks.

A huge enemy called hermit crab academy had smashed it in front of his eyes.

Because of this, I was engulfed in anxiety every day.

It was because if I made a mistake, all the achievements in the past would be replaced with the fruits.

‘Should I go abroad? ?'

But he also had hope.

'Boss. trust us Where have we ever had something like this happen? It just takes a little more time, but it's not impossible. So, don’t worry and wait for our call.”

The rants of the people in the comment control group. That was his only hope.

'Yeah, how much money you've spent all this time, but you can't do it if you can't do it. great. Let's believe it.'

But.

“Why the fuck aren’t you answering the phone!”

That belief was soon shaken.

He looked down at the phone he was holding nervously.

As of today alone, he has already made several calls to the comment-manipulators.

However, for some reason, the phone connection was not made especially today.

As he had never had anything like this before, his anxiety and nervousness could only be greater.

His mind began to fill with ominous thoughts.

‘Are these guys… Aren’t you trying to betray me and eat me?’

No matter how old the history and tradition is, the identity of the ‘comment manipulator’ is a criminal group. From the beginning, they were not worthy of great trust.

So his thoughts were quite possible.

'uh… What do we do?'

At that time, Choi Gwi-hwa was losing trust in the comment control team.

Follow-up- Follow-up-

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Choi Gwi-hwa checked the phone screen with trembling eyes.

OK.

[Team Leader Ban Myung-ho]

The name of the person he did not wish for was floating on the screen.

In an instant, a smile crept across Cha Gwi-hwa's lips.

‘I was just suspicious.’

He pressed the call button with a light smile on his lips.

OK.

[I'm sorry, Manager Aigo. I was unable to answer the phone for a while because something important happened to the company. Sorry. I'm really dying... ]

A low-key voice came out from beyond the sign language, as if it was about to remove the liver.
