Chapter 213 – 213. Frog in the Well 1
So she went in and out a few more times to check the situation inside and learned a lot.
First, the governance structure of movable assets.
It’s a really simple structure. A man who used to be a ‘religious leader’ but is now called a chairman.
The guy who created a pseudo-religion and created this garden even before the world was destroyed.
And the management department below.
A place where actual management takes place. We manage everything that happens in this garden, including the influx of people, managing the number of people, and the production of crops.
This is the end.
It must be a really simple structure.
When I saw this, I thought it was amazing.
Normally, in an organization of this size, there are bound to be a lot of people who don’t do anything and just sit around and put a lot of pressure on their shoulders and yell ahem, ahem.
There is nothing like that here. A clean structure with only the necessary management personnel.
Ah. There’s one more. An organization called the executive branch. Well, this is part of the management department anyway.
The place in charge of the force here with detection skills. This is really the end.
I don’t think the number of people will exceed 30 if we do it this way, but it’s amazing.
And working people.
The number is about 400 people. They don’t seem to know the exact number of people. But… This can happen if there are a lot of new inflows and outflows.
Their daily life is simple.
Wake up in the morning and go to your assigned workplace to work.
Most of the work is done in greenhouses, but some go to poultry farms, pig farms, or cattle farms.
And people who work in restaurants, people who are called in to do special work, and other people do various things ‘voluntarily’.
That was the surprising part. It is not a coercive and controlled atmosphere.
If you want to work, work, but I didn’t say anything if you didn’t work. However, if you did not work, you did not receive food stamps.
A fairly crude yet well-balanced system.
In a world without money, you can control people with nothing more than food stamps. It’s so amazing.
There were a few people to keep an eye on.
People who are collectively called ‘class president’.
Those who manage and supervise work under the direction of management. I think they are the key.
In the end, if we’re going to take down all the guys up there, we’re going to have to catch those class leaders… Will that work?
A kid from outside killed all the guys above and said, ‘We will protect you from now on, so listen to us.’ Let’s see… I wonder if the seeds will be eaten.
Ah-oh. My head hurts.
I just hate complicated things like this. If I kill the people here, I can kill them better than anyone else.
It’s tough. It’s hard. It’s difficult to build relationships with people. I’m exhausted.
Anyway, as I collected information like that, I eventually came to one conclusion.
Manager.
The name that appears most frequently. This is a name that always comes up when you watch them. The manager… The manager… The manager told me to do it…
It was quite shocking to me, who had been thinking about the exploitative superiors and the dissatisfied workers who suffered and reluctantly lived.
These were not hostile relations. Rather, it is a symbiotic relationship.
When I look at things like this, I too am a childish brat who doesn’t really know the world.
Because I have a simple idea that the whole world is made up of conflict and competition.
Even if the world is ruined like this, people find their own way to live.
It was arrogant and childish to think that the way I thought of survival was the most efficient and best way.
When I think about it that way, their lives no longer seem gloomy or depressing.
Of course, they too may be dissatisfied with this life. However, it is within a manageable range.
A life I accepted because I could take it into account and endure it. You can’t say that it’s wrong or wrong.
I want to take a look at this guy called Manager. What kind of guy is he that runs a place like this without any problems?
And that opportunity finally came.
The manager came to meet the class leaders with four people who appeared to be members of the executive department.
Oh. There is also a woman on the executive committee. This might be useful.
Anyway, the manager was a younger man than I thought. Should I try it in my early 40s? No. He looks like he’s in his late 30s, although he doesn’t have much hair.
A man with a more frowning and stained face than anyone else I’ve seen here.
When he arrived, one of the class presidents approached him and said.
“Oh my. A busy gentleman came down to Mandako?”
“Ha. Captain Kim. Could you please gather all the captains?”
“Wow? Do you have something to say?”
“Yes, please.”
“Mom, I’ve never had a good thing to say when the manager comes down here and gathers the class leaders.”
“Please gather them together first. Once we gather, we will talk.”
Captain Kim spoke to a young man next to him, and the young man quickly ran away.
“Wow? Chairman Geumma is bothering you again?”
“Oh, don’t even talk about it. Really, you should hit me or something.”
“Oh my. You’re leaving here? If you leave, this place is going to be a mess?”
“That’s none of my business. It’s filthy. Ugh. Why does a guy who doesn’t do anything keep doing this and that?”
“What is it? Please speak up.”
“I’ll tell you when everyone comes. If I say it now, I’ll have to say the same thing again later. Ah, it’s cold. Let’s go sit somewhere first.”
“Okay. Let’s go.”
The manager, four executives, and Captain Kim went into the restaurant right next to it.
Ah… I want to go in. I’m hesitant because I think those guys in the executive branch will detect it.
If you leave this place where people are gathered, won’t you get caught right away?
I wonder what the story is… Is there no way?
A little later, a group of people came this way.
Seeing that young man there earlier, I guess those people are class leaders.
Eleven people? There are a lot?
Should I get swept away and go in there? Hmm… Let’s take a look. Even if a problem arises, all you have to do is put all the executives to sleep.
Class presidents probably don’t have attack skills… It won’t be too threatening.
It’s a shame that I’ve sacrificed myself until now, but I don’t think an opportunity like this will come again.
There are a lot of people and the executives won’t suddenly start investigating in a place like this, so there won’t be a big problem.
Even if you turn it, there are many people, so you might not notice it right away.
Once you decide, you have to do it right away.
I sneaked in, following the group of class leaders entering the restaurant.
I’m glad the last one didn’t close the door.
Because I went in and someone else grumbled and closed the glass door of the restaurant.
When all the class presidents took their seats, it became unclear where I would be.
This… Now I can’t go back.
First, I decided to stick to the wall as much as possible. If the distance is this much, you might mistake it for being behind a wall.
“You’re all here, right?”
“What’s going on that’s why you’re calling all of us? If that’s the case, then you’re just complaining that the guys below are not doing their work and just wandering around.”
“Chief Hong, don’t say things you don’t mean when you feel good on the inside. Sometimes you talk like you worked hard.”
“Hey, hey. Is there anyone who works as much as me? You’re talking nonsense.”
Surprisingly, the atmosphere is not bad.
Really… Even if I thought wrong, I think I was very wrong.
They built their own world and lived in it. What did you do with that because I looked depressed?
Me too… It’s a frog in a well.
“Sleep. Please be quiet. This is not the same thing as gathering here. I think we will have to herd the growth team into the cattle shed for the time being.”
“What are you talking about? You have so much growth right now, but are you using it on cows?”
“That’s right. Isn’t the growth team’s schedule already full? Are you going to come and change that now?”
“No. Even if you call that number, there are only a few people who can eat it. Why are you calling me a cow? Why? Are you going to give me a discount on food tickets?”
The class leaders raise their voices and say one thing at a time to the point where they have to immediately cancel something that they thought wasn’t bad until now.
The manager, listening to the class leaders’ words, presses his temples as if he is in pain.
“I know how idiotic this is, but the chairman told me to do it. Oh, really. I’m going crazy! Really.”
When the chairman’s story came up, everyone stopped what they were saying and looked at the manager’s thoughts.
The atmosphere has changed a bit? It feels like a mixture of half fear and half irritation?
“Sigh. That guy just leaves production to the manager and doesn’t worry about it. Why are you saying that again…”
One of the class presidents is muttering to himself so that everyone around him can hear.
And everyone seemed to sympathize with what he was saying.
“Ha. So that’s okay. No? Can the schedule be adjusted?”
“If you want to do it, do it. Sibeol. What power do we have? So how much?”
“One month.”
“A month? Are you crazy? You’re going to put all your growth into cows?”
“Yes.”
“No. No. Even if we miss just a week, our productivity will plummet. A month. That’s crazy. I don’t know what will happen to the plants, but it’s not working anywhere else. Pigs and chickens are still tight. We’ve got it balanced at best, but one month. No. I can’t do it. .”
“Ha. I guess I didn’t say that?”
“So what do you say?”
“What can I say? They say if you have too many mouths, and it’s a pain, be selective.”
As soon as the word selection came out, the atmosphere quickly cooled.
I think I know what it is just by looking at the words. It means reducing the number of people. A guy called the chairman. It makes solving the problem very simple. Haha. Crazy bastard.
“Aren’t you crazy? After you cut it out like that, you’re still calling me a picker?”
“Besides, you said there’s a problem at the camp? It’s going to be difficult to accept new people in the future? But you’re saying that?”
“Wow. Where did I hear that again? Who leaked it?”
“Director Yeo, do you think you’re the only one with ears? We all know this too.”
“I’m going crazy. Really. How can so many things happen all at once? I wish they would stop bothering me.”
Manager: That person is not a superior, but looks like a youth leader complaining to the elderly in the neighborhood.
Could this be the image of him whining while drinking a glass of makgeolli and saying, ‘I think the village head is crazy?’ It’s so humane.
“Can’t you just take charge of this place?”
A slightly older class president opened his mouth.
What? Are you thinking of rebelling now? Is the reputation of the chairman that bad?
“You’re saying that again. If that’s the case, I would have done it before. No. No. How cunning that chairman is. Even if he’s dirty and mean, he can’t be defeated by force. It’s better to wait for him to die from revenge.”
Fuck… It was just everyday life. I had high hopes for nothing.
Still, it seems true that the chairman’s reputation is not good. If you see him making jokes like that without hesitation.
“Are you really so incompetent? How can we all work together to attack the crime…”
“No. I don’t know how many people will die. You know exactly how the chairman thinks of you all. I can’t see you all being killed like that. Don’t even say something like that unless you have a good solution.”
This situation is fascinating. It seems like you can take over here surprisingly easily, right?
