Chapter 52 – Chapter 52
Thanks to the persistence of three Awoken women, including Kim Isol, the weight seems to have shifted again in the direction of maintaining our team.
I made a suggestion to Director Lim to drive a wedge there.
The reason why it is difficult for our company to maintain the F team is, of course, because of money.
Considering that they had no intention of cutting me off with the Awakeners, it wasn’t a matter of labor cost.
Then the only thing left is the equipment rental fee.
It was judged that if the cost could be minimized, the managers would also change their mind to maintain our team.
So my suggestion is,
“If you maintain our team, we will choose only dungeons that can be commuted without the help of equipment manufacturers for a while. So please keep it.”
I bowed my back 90 degrees and made an earnest request, and luckily it worked.
From the company’s point of view, it seemed like a good proposal, so they decided to watch our team for a while.
It is inevitable that the company has already signed a one-year contract with the new Awakeners.
Without mutual consent, it is not so easy to dismiss them.
Of course, you can push the contract and force the management to follow the decision, but that will cause problems when renewing the contract after one year.
The company’s position is that, in fact, nothing can be done if the Awakened people say that they will all move to another company after investing a lot and growing it.
So, you must always cater to the Awoken.
A weaker company like us has no choice but to be attracted to some extent by the Awakened like this.
However, even if you try to terminate the contract right away, the penalty is quite steep, so it would be better to maintain the team with that money.
Anyway, our team was focused on maintaining it.
I can’t help but be really lucky.
Zhang Yong, who understood the atmosphere later, said.
“I like being on the same team as my older brother.”
Jang Yong, who was once sent to the same F team, senior Kim’s team.
I couldn’t understand why no one in Team D wanted to take him.
At least at the time of filming the battle video, it would have been much better to wear it than Kim I-sol.
I don’t know what it will be like now that Kim Isol’s mana has been increased.
Anyway, the team leaders of Team D don’t have eyes to see each other, right?
“Please leave me on your brother’s team too!”
I don’t know if I should like this situation, but it’s been decided to keep the team.
It’s a difficult situation without a tanker, so you should have Jang Yong at least with you.
However, the reactions of Lim and Park were strange.
A very troubled expression.
“Can’t we just move the team at least Mr. Yong? If that doesn’t work, Chanil Kim replaces one member of the team.”
“Manager. Is there a need for that? Jang Yong-ssi has already worked hand-to-hand with our team, so I think it’s more efficient than anything else to keep it as it is. That would be the same for the senior team as well.”
“Heh heh, who doesn’t know that…”
Manager Lim, who had a troubled expression on his face, started whispering to Deputy Director Park, who was sitting next to him.
What are you up to?
Why do you bother sending Jang Yong to the senior team?
What the hell are you saying that such a pointless act is of any use to the company?
What kind of support came in?
While I was watching the two of them with a questionable expression, Isol Kim suddenly came to my side.
Why? Are you in a hurry to take a break? It’s hard in a place like this…
Wanting to get too close, she whispered in my ear.
What she whispered to her was about the whispers of her deputy chief and deputy chief.
I told you to use this guy’s magic power only inside the dungeon, but again…
But she couldn’t scold her.
Because what she told me was invaluable information to me.
Its contents were as follows.
“Deputy Manager Park. What should I do with this? He must be very angry.”
“Wouldn’t it matter? It’s Team F anyway. I don’t think it’ll be enough as long as we don’t raise it to the top team. I don’t think it will be trivial. His name is worth it.”
“Isn’t it? After the meeting, go and talk to me. I decided to let you know the results right away, so I’ll see you in person. I said you’re in the cafe next door. Don’t just call again to say you’re bothered.”
“Sure. It’s a matter of how much money it takes, of course. I’ll see you right away, manager.”
In other words, it seems that someone appeared and sent Jang Yong from our team to senior Kim’s team and sponsored the company with a large sum of money.
Who the hell
I became very curious about who the sponsor was and why he was doing this.
I think the events that happened during Jang Yong’s academy days may have something to do with him.
It’s just a simple feeling.
It is not uncommon for people to come to an awakened supporter company like us and deliver donations.
For the general public, gate backflow is on a par with natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes.
And I think of supporters like us as people who do public work to prevent that.
Even some supporters come with a large sum of money to ask for revenge against the monster after a family member or acquaintance has had an accident due to gate regurgitation.
But what about the case of sponsoring a specific person to move to another team?
What the hell is this person doing… I can’t understand at all.
What is Zhang Yong saying?
“Then let’s end the meeting here.”
The meeting is over.
The final decision for our team, set by the manager, was to maintain the status quo.
Permission was given to head to the E-class dungeon, and if you found a dungeon that you could commute to and reported it to, then go on an expedition to that dungeon.
I was finally able to get rid of the energy that had filled my eyes and shoulders.
How did you survive
I greeted the senior team leaders and made eye contact with the awakened members of our team one by one.
Everyone seems to want to meet me tonight, and I have a part of me wanting to, but I don’t think it will be as much as today.
I’m so mentally exhausted.
Even my work is not finished yet.
“The next expedition will be decided by tomorrow. Then see you next week.”
I took a deep breath as I watched the backs of the Awakeners returning home.
Perhaps today is the day that I made the final decision on what I had been thinking about deeply in my heart.
Do you want to grow with the company or get rid of it?
I decided.
And promised
This small company, no matter what happens, I will hit it as quickly as possible.
But to do that, you need to raise money.
To find the clue, I followed Deputy Director Park toward the next building without going back to the office.
In order to meet the bastard called the sponsor.
“You shouldn’t get caught. And if you get caught, please act well.”
“Okay. Don’t let you know.”
Now, next to me is Kim I-sol, who has not yet returned.
Of course, she is a substitute for a wiretapping machine.
It seemed that the company had some ulterior motive, and when we asked to find out about it together, Kim I-sol readily agreed.
Now, it seems to follow my words quite well.
The way he speaks is still the same, though.
Entered the cafe.
This place is the cafe where I first met Lee Sol Kim and other members of our team.
Without even ordering a drink, I secretly followed Deputy Director Park to the farthest corner of the second floor.
Fortunately, we got another seat on the second floor without being caught.
Borrowing the power of Kim I-sol, Deputy Director Park tried to eavesdrop on the conversation with the person he met.
However, there was something a little surprising.
Contrary to my expectations, the person Deputy Director Park met was a young woman in her 20s.
She was even a character I knew.
“I couldn’t believe… It was really a family problem.”
“What is it? Do you know a woman?”
“Oh, no. Lower your voice. I’ll catch you later.”
“Chit.”
“Now, quickly tell me what those two are whispering about.”
Even though Kim Yi-sol showed her dislike, she obeyed my words.
Borrowing her voice, I could hear the story of the woman and Deputy Director Park.
“Thank you very much for this support. It has been a great help to our company.”
“I’ll keep things simple. You know I’m a busy person. What happened to what I asked for?”
“Yeah…It worked, but there were some unexpected parts.”
“Keep talking.”
“Yes. That, Mr. Jang Yong-san, decided to maintain the status quo of the original team. This is all thanks to our Jang… No, the Awakened One’s support…”
“Stop talking about sponsorship. Why didn’t things turn out the way I wanted? I thought we were done talking about moving to another F team?”
“Ah, we tried to deal with things that way too. However, Jang Yong insisted on staying under team leader Kang Jung-hyeok… We had no choice because he refused to die if it wasn’t for that team.”
“Haha… What about the other girls on the team?”
“Yes. The status quo, so the team is all intact… Alas.”
Kim Yi-sol, who was following Deputy Director Park’s words, suddenly covered her ears.
I think it’s because of the noise I’m hearing right now.
Hearing has been strengthened, so the loud sound must have been louder.
I had my back to Deputy Director Park in case I was caught, but I quickly turned my head to see what was going on.
Because I was wondering what happened to Deputy Director Park.
What is that…
Looking at the situation, it seemed that Hani Awoken women had grabbed the edge of a thick wooden table with their bare hands and tore it off.
It looked like she was very angry, but it seems that she was also an Awakener who couldn’t help it.
With dirty temper hair.
That kind of thing appears on TV, models, and the world…
I turned my head again, worried that I might get caught if I kept looking.
I told Kim I-Sol that if everything went well, she would return to the role of repeater.
She was in no mood to worry about her ears.
The only thing that can steal the conversation between Deputy Director Park and the woman is now.
I didn’t want to miss a single word of the conversation.
Kim I-sol was obviously dissatisfied, but she seemed to know that there was nothing she could do about it.
She held back her anger and opened her mouth again.
I’ll praise you later, so please bear with me for now.
Request.
“I… I’m really sorry. But the method… I tried to force Jang Yong-ssi to change teams, but all the Awoken women on the same team refused… I’m really embarrassed.”
“It’s okay. And don’t worry. I’ll keep my sponsorship. I absolutely can’t send it to a D-class dungeon instead. I want to make sure of that. And if the story of my sponsorship reaches that child’s ears, then I’m really not going to stay still. Even if it means losing everything.”
“No, of course.”
What kind of criminal do you think this is, Deputy Director Park?
Anyway, he said the family is the scariest.
While I was thinking to myself, Isol Kim in front of me asked.
“Deputy Director Park is lying?”
“Well, that’s not even a lie… I have to make good excuses in front of my sponsors.”
“Hey! Turn your head!”
Kim I-sol suddenly speaks silently.
Deputy Director Park seemed to have already gotten up from his seat and headed outside.
I couldn’t see her behind her back, but she said that if it wasn’t for Kim Sol she would have been caught as it was.
Fortunately, Deputy Director Park did not pass right next to us, so he was not caught.
I just wondered if Kim Sol suddenly grabbed my face and turned it the other way around, breaking her neck.
There was a clicking sound, but seeing as the shield did not deploy, there must be nothing wrong with the bone.
But I couldn’t be relieved.
Holy shit.
Sooner or later the next problem will arise…
“Two there. If you move now, I will kill you.
A woman’s voice calmed down.
I could tell who she was without looking at her face.
The woman who was talking to Deputy Director Park just now.
A person who has sponsored a large sum of money to our company.
And an all-too-famous Awakener, model, and member of the top raid team to enter an unexplored dungeon for the first time.
And the older sister of our team member Zhang Yong.
Isol Kim and I slowly turned her heads as she instructed.
I just hoped that Kim I-sol would not run amok.
This woman is no ordinary Awoken.
A super strong person who is in the top 100 among hundreds of thousands of awakened people in Korea.
Even if Kim I-Sol puts on a damn shit show, she’s not someone I can compare.
“I-over there…”
“Shut up. Don’t make a sound until I tell you to open your mouth.”
Scary.
Putting aside the pettiness, I thought that, like a person who runs on the front line, he is not a little careless.
I slowly turned my head as she had instructed me to, and now I could finally see Jang A-ra’s face.
Her fucking face is damn pretty.
That was her impression when I first saw her.
