Chapter 9 – Episode 9
This is the likeability of CEO Oh Dae-hoon.
[Likeability: 80/100]
The favorability rating, which was 70 just four weeks ago, has now reached 80.
Originally, Oh Dae-hoon viewed Jinseong positively.
Jinseong was a good employee. The very type of talent the company wants.
In fact, he couldn’t help but be pretty. Gentle, sincere, good at work.
‘However…’
Jinseong changed 4 weeks ago. And that too in a very positive direction.
As his true nature changed, Oh Dae-hoon’s likeability also inevitably increased.
Beyond being a good employee. He became a great employee.
He used to eat 1.5 servings, but now he can easily eat 2 servings.
He was promoted from an employee who had to be treated well to an employee who had to be kept.
“Take it.”
Oh Dae-hoon handed over an envelope. There were banknotes in it. It was a kind of golden peak.
“Thank you. I will work even harder.”
Jinseong received the envelope. He bowed his head deeply.
A joy and happiness that could not be hidden bloomed on the face.
Oh Dae-hoon looked at such sincerity with satisfaction.
“I’ll just go to work.”
“Okay, work hard.”
I said hello and left the president’s office.
He sat on the restroom in the bathroom. He took out an envelope from his pocket. Furthermore, he checked how much it cost.
“Wow?”
An exclamation of exclamation suddenly burst out.
‘That’s unexpected?’
I thought I would get 50,000 won if it was less and 100,000 won if it was more.
However, contrary to expectations, they each received a whopping 200,000 won.
200,000 won!
For Jinseong, who lived on 150,000 won a month, it was an incredibly large sum.
‘Wow, really, is it my birthday today?’
It was a good day with a downpour of luck.
Living expenses increased from 150,000 won to -〉 250,000 won.
Lee Ji-seong said he would give the woman’s contact information sometime today or tomorrow.
The boss encouraged her for doing a good job and gave her 200,000 won.
That wasn’t all.
‘Salary increase!’
Her boss announced a 100,000 won raise starting next month.
The monthly salary increased from 2.7 million won to -〉 2.8 million won.
Starting next month.
‘The surplus will increase from 150,000 won to 350,000 won.’
Her shoulders shook.
‘Hehe…, For 350,000 won…, Something I haven’t been able to buy for a while…, What I couldn’t eat…, I can buy everything.’
She shook her head.
‘No. No. 350,000 won is too much in human terms. Let’s spend just 250,000 won. Let’s put the remaining 100,000 won into savings.’
People who have eaten meat eat it.
Jinseong has never spent more than 300,000 won in a month.
In fact, he thought that even 250,000 won was too big.
‘This is all thanks to the era of success.’
What if there was no era of success?
There would have been no change.
What if there was no change?
Luck would not have come.
There would have been no salary increase. There would have been no gold bars. Perhaps there was no Yeo So too.
Nothing would have changed.
‘Thank you.’
I was thankful to God for giving me an era of success.
‘Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so very much.’
Jinseong’s lucky day is not over yet.
∴∴∴
I got off work. I took a shower. If it were like usual, I would have taken a nap.
I didn’t sleep. I wore everyday clothes. I got ready to go out.
‘I went to the beauty salon… After going to the supermarket… I went to the shoe store…’
I got 200,000 won. I was planning to flex for the first time in a while.
‘Hehe, I feel like it. Should I eat something delicious for the first time in a while?’
Park Man-bok recommended having a cheat day once a week.
– You can eat as much as you want once a week.
– Do not worry. Just exercise as much as you eat.
– On the day you take it, increase your aerobic exercise by 1.5 times.
I nodded.
‘Okay, today is cheat day. Let’s eat and exercise hard at night.’
I left the dormitory.
The first place Jinseong headed to was Hanaro Mart.
I purchased daily necessities. Shampoo, wet tissues, soy milk, banana, eggs, etc.
‘Pineapple looks delicious… Should I buy one… ?’
After much thought, I put it down.
‘No. You need to save money. ‘I’ll buy it later when I make a lot of money.’
You have whetted your appetite.
I couldn’t easily take my eyes off the pineapple.
I tried to reassure myself that I wanted to eat and headed to the checkout counter.
I finished shopping. I brought the shopping cart to the dormitory.
‘Let’s go to the beauty salon.’
I still haven’t been able to go to the hair salon due to lack of budget.
I was going to go to the hair salon today and get a nice trim.
I found my favorite hair salon.
‘I’m not very good at it, but…’
It was cheaper than other beauty salons. In particular, if you pay in cash, they even gave you a 1,000 won discount. It’s even close.
“Welcome. Oh? Customer? “It’s been a while since you came here?”
“Hello?”
“Are you on a diet? Did you see half of a new face that you had never seen before? Has your complexion improved noticeably?”
“Yes, I am going to the gym hard these days and dieting.”
The female boss looked at Jinseong’s appearance.
I was impressed without even realizing it.
“Wow, you must have worked really hard. You really missed it. Honestly, I thought it was someone else.”
It was the 5th week of the diet.
For four weeks, Jinseong worked hard and changed beyond words.
First, diet.
I reduced my food intake every week. About 5% to 10%.
I stayed away from bread and ramen. She drastically quit snacking.
And momentum.
I was gradually increasing my amount of exercise every day.
As a result, Jinseong succeeded in losing 10.9 kg in 4 weeks.
10.9 kg.
Her weight decreased from 95.0 kg to 84.1 kg.
When she lost 5 kg, it wasn’t noticeable. Are you a little thin? She looks a little thin? It was at the same level.
However, when she lost 10 kg, the results were noticeable. Her cheek flesh went in. Her chin became thinner. She has slimmed down considerably.
“You look more handsome than before.”
“Thank you.”
“I think it would be more popular with women if it were just a little more?”
It was good to hear.
‘This house is perfect at business.’
A warm smile appeared.
I trimmed her hair
Every time the lady boss used scissors, debris piled up on the floor.
My hair, which had been very shaggy, gradually regained its neatness.
When the scissors stop.
“Wow, the character really comes alive.”
The praise was full of sincerity.
Even though she just had her hair done, she became a completely different person.
“If I really lost a little more weight, wouldn’t I be more popular?”
“Really?”
I shouldn’t eat out today.
Diet was important, not deliciousness.
It’s not too late to eat delicious food after losing all the weight.
‘If I’m hungry, I should eat eggs.’
I wonder if my mouth will smell like yolk like this.
Calculated. I left the beauty salon. Next, I went to her shoe store.
〈Dong-gu shoes〉
It was a non-maker shoe store.
‘The quality isn’t that good, but…’
The design wasn’t good either.
Nevertheless, there was one reason why Jinseong visited Donggu Shoes.
‘It’s very cheap.’
It’s cheap.
This is the best advantage for Jinseong, who has a thin wallet.
‘Hmm?’
Jinseong had no choice but to stop before entering the store.
‘Hayeon?’
Because Ha-yeon Park was walking from the opposite direction.
She is wearing a neutral color cardigan.
Her beauty shone.
“Huh?”
“…”
Our eyes met.
“Hello?”
“Hello.”
“Are you on your way to the gym?”
“Yes, what about you?”
“I went out to buy some shoes.”
“Oh, yes.”
Ha-yeon Park saw Jin-seong’s shoes.
It wasn’t dirty, as if it had been washed frequently, but it was worn and old, having been worn for more than a year.
“Haha, I feel good thinking about exercising in my new shoes.”
“… Looking to change your workout shoes? “Isn’t it normalization?”
“Yes, when I exercised, my shoes were so old that they were uncomfortable.”
“Ah…”
Park Ha-yeon looked at Jin-seong’s shoes and Dong-gu shoe stores alternately.
I was worried.
“Whenever you buy something, don’t buy something cheap, spend some money and buy something decent.”
“Yes?”
“If I don’t buy something cheap, the backsole will break and the heel will get scratched after only a few wears.”
“Ah…”
Jinseong trailed off her words.
I saw Park Ha-yeon’s inner thoughts.
[My inner thoughts: I need to buy shoes that fit well to be comfortable when exercising. It needs to have cushioning, so it doesn’t put a strain on your feet.]
[Inner thoughts: If you are lazy, you can buy cheap shoes, but if you are a sincere pig, it is right to buy good shoes because you are sincere.]
[Inner thoughts: I got my hair done. Her beard was also neatly shaved. I went from a dull pig to a neat pig.]
[Inner thoughts: I heard you lost 10 kg…, It’s obvious that a lot is missing. Soon I won’t even be able to call myself a pig.]
Jinseong was conflicted.
‘Should I buy something good instead of something cheap, as Hayeon said?’
The worries didn’t last long.
‘Okay, let’s just buy something decent for now.’
I made up my mind.
“Follow me.”
“Yes?”
Where?
“I’ll recommend some shoes.”
“Oh? Really?!”
Jinseong was pleased.
“You helped me last time, and since you don’t seem to know how to choose shoes, I’ll tell you specifically.”
“Wow, thank you.”
I followed Ha-yeon Park.
[Likeability: 50]
I could see her likeability.
‘Likeability… It really went up a lot…’
It was only 4 weeks.
The favorability rating, which was at a maximum of -7, rose to exactly half the value.
‘Likeability characteristics… It’s difficult to raise it when it’s low, but…’
The favorability rating did not rise well from 1 to 40.
However, it rose quite smoothly from 41 to 70.
It’s really difficult to raise from 71 to 100.
Arrived.
Jinglang-!!
I entered the store. It was a Nike shoe store.
Ha-yeon Park recommended shoes that might be helpful to Jin-seong.
“Isn’t it burdensome to exceed 100,000 won?”
“A lot.”
“How about this? “The design is pretty, and the colors are nice, right?”
The price tag said 69,000 won.
‘It’s 69,000 won…’
It was about 70,000 won.
‘I came expecting 50,000 won…’
The price was more expensive than expected.
‘I’ll have to try it on and reject it.’
It was a product chosen with great effort by the goddess-like Park Ha-yeon, but she had the wit to say no to it.
God was going to pretend he didn’t like it and reject it.
I tried on the shoes.
“…”
Jinseong’s eyes were shaking.
“… “Please give me this.”
“Yes, sir.”
The fit was better than I expected.
“Sister, please give me one of these too.”
Ha-yeon Park pointed to her shoes with her hand.
∴∴∴
“Take it.”
Ha-yeon Park handed over her shopping bag.
“Do you want me to listen?”
“Put your shoes on. “It’s in return for helping me last time.”
She suddenly took the shopping bag.
[Inner heart: I wanted to repay you.]
[Inner thoughts: Are you feeling burdened?]
Could it be that her mother registered her birth incorrectly?
‘Is today really my birthday?’
