Chapter 205 – 205
It seems like Minseong was exposed to school violence?
‘First… First… Um… First… I need to find out the whole story. First, it is urgent to accurately understand the circumstances before and after.’
I tried hard to suppress the indescribable discomfort.
‘The first priority is to identify the problem. Second priority is problem-solving. It is not too late to make a choice about anger… After understanding the problem.’
With a forced smile, we talked about Choi A-young and Min-seong.
“So… It seems like Minseong is being bullied at school…?”
Nod.
“So… Min-seong had a lot of bruises on his body… And it seemed like signs of violence…?”
Nod.
“I need to investigate… What exactly is the situation… What kind of big-headed guy is harassing Min-seong…”
I need to gather information.
I called Jiyu.
“Jiyu.”
– Yep. Representative.
“You know my little brother, right?”
– Yep? Yep. I know. Master Yoo Min-seong.
“Please do a background check.”
-··? Background investigation? Is there any problem?
“Yes. Please investigate as quickly as possible. It doesn’t matter how much it costs.”
– Yep! Okay.
Now the secretary’s office will move.
If you have the capabilities of the secretary’s office, you may be able to accurately determine the number of spoons in the cafeteria. Jinseong will be able to collect, compile, and derive the information he wants in the shortest possible time.
“If it is true that you are a victim of school violence, what do you plan to do?”
“We have to reform them.”
“Re-education…? Hmm…? Isn’t that too gentle a method?”
Shouldn’t they at least be punished severely?
Even if you can’t do it, shouldn’t you take it to court?
“You have to realize your mistakes, regret them, and reflect on them.”
He smiled kindly and gently.
Shocking.
I thought it was a cool smile.
“An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.”
“Hammurabi’s Code?”
“That’s right. We must repay the same evil deeds that were committed. We must make them realize deep in their bones how great an evil deed they have committed. Furthermore, we must make them regret, repent, and be rehabilitated.”
Only when you are in pain can you empathize and understand the pain of others.
‘There are things in this world that cannot be tolerated. No, there are some things that cannot be tolerated.’
One of them is school violence.
The kind and gentle smile became even deeper.
—
Kim Jong-woo, a first-year-high school student, saw the world as a dichotomy.
One is.
‘A guy you should never touch.’
When I was in elementary school, I didn’t like a friend of mine, so I hit him and got slapped more than 10 times.
You shouldn’t touch a criminal. Both the teacher and the police were on the criminal’s side, but they were never on his side.
When I was in the second year of middle school, I was caught stealing cigarettes from a tattooed man and was beaten to dust on a rainy day.
Tattoo bug. No, you shouldn’t touch the bug. He can get hit to the point where you really feel like he’s going to fall behind.
Two.
‘A guy who doesn’t have any problems even if you mess with him.’
If you do not study well, your teacher will not protect you.
If the family is poor, parents cannot protect them.
If you are an introvert, you cannot even resist being bullied.
One of them.
‘Jintta.’
It was Yoo Min-seong.
Because I couldn’t study, the teacher didn’t protect me…
Because I was poor, I couldn’t receive my parents’ protection…
There is nothing special about it, there is nothing popular…
I’m so timid that I can’t even resist properly…
‘Attachment doll.’
A toy that poses no risk even if you tease it.
‘Zero presence.’
Break time.
Minseong Yoo sat quietly in his seat and played with his Nintendo.
Puck-!
The world shook for a moment due to the strong pain I felt in my head.
Kim Jong-woo’s palm hit the back of Yoo Min-seong’s head hard.
“Ugh!”
Nintendo rolled around on the floor.
“You bastard. Who wants to play games at the sacred school?”
The palm swung again. There was a stronger force than before.
Puck-!
Yu Minseong held his head in pain.
“Bitch. Who told you to play games at school? Huh?”
“Ugh…”
“Hah? Is this guy crazy? How dare he chew my words? Do you want to chase him?”
The fist flew.
Puck!
I hit him hard on the back.
Puck!
It hit him directly in the side.
“Ouch!”
Yu Min-seong rolled around on the floor.
“······.”
“······.”
“······.”
A noisy classroom.
It became quiet.
Everyone was shocked by the unexpected situation and had no choice but to remain silent.
“You bastard?! How dare you not answer me?! Die!”
Puck! Puck! Puck!
Ruthless kicking continued.
“Die! Die!”
“Well, I was wrong… Ugh… Argh…”
Seongmin Yoo unconsciously shrank his body.
The merciless kicking continued.
“······.”
There were many classmates around me.
But unfortunately.
“······.”
No one thought to stop it.
Just stay away and watch quietly.
‘Kim Jong-woo is a crazy dog. If I stop you for no reason, I will be in danger.’
Some people turned away.
‘Kkkk, Yoo Min-seong, you fucking idiot. It’s so fucking disgusting.’
Some people laughed at Yu Min-seong’s weakness.
‘You idiots. I’m embarrassed to start. It’s really a fucking nuisance.’
Some saw them like bugs.
“Whew… Just one more time… Chew on my words just one more time… Because then I will absolutely kill you…”
The kicking stopped.
“Whoa… This is confiscation. If you play at school one more time… Then you will really fall behind.”
I took care of Nintendo.
“Oh, no! Give it back!”
“Shut up! You bastard!”
A strong kick struck the abdomen.
“Ugh…”
Minseong Yu had no choice but to roll around on the floor in pain.
“What’s going on?”
“Ugh…”
Male in his 40s.
He was my homeroom teacher.
“······.”
“······.”
The homeroom teacher and Yoo Min-seong’s gaze met in the air.
The homeroom teacher’s gaze…
Bluntness.
Insensitive.
A gaze as if looking at an earthworm wriggling on the street.
“Everyone, please take your seats. Yoo Min-seong, you too, sit down quickly.”
“Ugh… Yes…”
I had tears like chicken poop.
“Kim Jong-woo.”
“Yes.”
“Don’t cause trouble.”
“Yes.”
The homeroom teacher gently stroked the luxury watch on her wrist. A satisfied smile appeared on her lips.
He received it as a gift from Jong-woo’s mother to take good care of her poor son. It’s not just watches. She received gifts from Jongwoo’s mother every month, including necklaces, rings, ties, shoes, and suits.
I also received her friend’s guidance sweetly.

Chief Secretary Han Ji-yu drank warm coffee.
‘It’s sweet.’
These days, I have enough time to enjoy a cup of coffee.
This is thanks to the supplementation of talent and manpower in the secretariat.
It’s also thanks to the talented secretaries…
It’s also because I got used to the job.
‘Ugh… I want to play games at home…’
I want to roll around in bed…
I want to eat snacks and take a long nap.
A person’s nature does not change easily.
Jiyu’s unique energy did not disappear.
‘When the CEO returns…’
We are planning to increase the number of secretaries and reorganize their work.
I plan to hand over the position of Chief of Staff to the most competent secretary.
I think he will probably be in charge of the future strategy office.
Future Strategy Office.
It was planned to be newly established with active reference to the Future Strategy Office of Seongsam Group.
However, the properties are not completely the same…
The Seongsam Future Strategy Office was drafted to suit the situation of the YSP Group.
‘Brain group.’
YSP Group Control Tower.
‘Ugh… I’m in charge… It’s such a burden…’
The weight of the crown was too heavy.
‘But… It’s right that I do it… Because I am the hostess…’
What if you weren’t the hostess?
I would never have taken on a general position.
Earn appropriately…
Enjoy it in moderation…
Appropriately lazy…
He would have lived in pursuit of comfort, self-reliance, and laziness.
“Chief.”
A subordinate came to visit with urgent steps.
A stiff expression…
Rigid atmosphere…
Han Ji-yu realized that the situation was unusual, and her expression hardened.
“As a result of the investigation… Yu Min-seong was exposed to school violence.”
“···.”
“In addition to Yoo Min-seong, several students were also exposed to violence.”
“···.”
“The homeroom teacher was defending the perpetrator by receiving expensive luxury goods and bribes from the perpetrator’s parents. Even when the children were exposed to violence, he just stood by and did not intervene in the situation.”
“···.”
“The main instigators are student Kim Jong-woo and his gang. Yoo Min-seong was the most severely bullied by Kim Jong-woo… And suffered quite a bit of bullying from the gang and bully students.”
Submitted research data.
Jiyu checked the data. Personal information of victims and perpetrators. Photos of exposure to school violence. In addition, the inhumane behavior of the homeroom teacher, who receives a lot of criticism from parents.
“Prepare for an emergency meeting.”
“Yes!”
Jiyu opened the drawer.
I took out the chocolate.
It was chocolate containing excessive sugar.
With an expressionless face… I chewed the chocolate with a blunt attitude.
A fever broke out in her head.
Thousands of simulations.
For the first time in my life, I ran a simulation full of ‘malice’.
—
“You bastards!”
Jinseong was furious.
“I will solve it.”
“No, I’ll solve it. It’s right for me to solve my family’s problems.”
“I want to solve it. Now it’s my family’s problem too.”
“···How are you going to solve it?”
“So-called extreme ending.”
“···?”
Shocking.
Jinseong, who was overcome with anger, could not help but tremble for a moment.
My sensitive intuition cried out. Never leave work to Jiyu.
[Inner thoughts: Breaking up the families of the perpetrators… Making the perpetrators exposed to violence throughout their school years… When they become adults, gangsters visit them regularly and make them suffer from violence… And…]
I got goosebumps.
“Just… Jiyu, just… I’ll just solve it.”
—
First of all, Jinseong continued to collect evidence of school violence.
At the same time…
“Huh? Let’s transfer Minseong to another school?”
“Yes.”
She began the task of separating Minseong from the perpetrators.
