Chapter 667 – Bored
Lee Hyeon-young, who originally had her assistant as a gunner, but was replaced by Kim Seo-yeon as chief of staff, was now in a daze.
“How can I make a schedule like this! The time overlaps with the appointment scheduled later!”
“Sorry… I’m sorry…”
“How did you make an appointment with Executive Director Joo Geon-soo this time?”
“Ah… That’s…”
“I told you earlier, but you forgot?”
“I’m sorry…”
I want to cry. It’s been less than a month since she joined the company, and unlike Team Leader Cho Ye-in, who used to kindly inform her, she gets yelled at whenever she does anything.
She’s so bad that it makes you think she may have changed her shooter on purpose to torment her.
‘I heard from the Chief Secretary that she doesn’t accept second-in-commands…’
He is the chief secretary who manages not only the executive director’s schedule but also the CEO’s schedule.
She was told that she was a busy person and that she didn’t have time to receive assistants, so why was she suddenly picking on herself like this?
“Ha… What on earth did you learn in one month?”
“Just sorting out supplies and sending an email to the person that Team Leader Cho Ye-in mentioned…”
“Have you learned nothing about adjusting schedules?”
“I heard the explanation, but I’m not used to it yet, so I’m really sorry.”
“That’s okay, I said I would teach you, so start learning from now on.”
“Yes…”
It’s too hard. With Team Leader Cho Ye-in, it was simple labor where you just had to do what was told, but with Secretary Kim Seo-yeon, you had to think about everything you were told to do.
Moving with just the brain removed and moving with careful attention to every detail are completely different things.
Even though I had experience working part-time, it was my first time working as a secretary, so it was bound to be difficult.
Unlike the simple work I had done so far, the work I was doing now was something I had to use my brain to organize.
“From now on, you will have to keep your head straight, because these tasks are all things you need to learn fundamentally.”
“Yes, I will come to my senses…”
If there had been something said in advance, I would have prepared, but this suddenly happened, and I couldn’t help but feel distracted.
However, I can’t say anything to the chief secretary who holds tremendous power.
Even though I wanted to vent my frustration, I was too busy to talk to other employees.
‘It’s so hard…’
Just trying to organize the information that came into my head today is exhausting, but the thought that there is still more work to do makes me feel gloomy.
I heard that my boyfriend’s company was hiring and even promised to support me, so I joined the company. I had no idea it would be this difficult.
In fact, until I became Chief of Staff Kim Seo-yeon’s second-in-command, I was happy to have joined such a large company, but now I have completely accepted that thought.
‘Did I do something wrong…?’
After not paying any attention to the other new employees, why did they single out me and make me the second-in-command?
I wondered several times if I had done something wrong and got caught, but nothing came to mind.
Isn’t that right? I am a new employee who has been with the company for less than a month.
Since it was a probationary period, I only followed the commander around and did the chores, so why would I be hated?
This time, Lee Hyun-young, who didn’t know that she was chosen by the newly hired counselor Lee Jin-seok, had no choice but to have a hard time.
“Hyeonyoung, did you finish the work you gave me earlier?”
“Ah…! “Are you talking about the fax to be delivered to the Vice President?”
“Yes, I said I had to deliver that to you as quickly as possible, but are you going to take a break after processing it?”
“I was going to do it now.”
“I told you it was urgent, so what if you haven’t sent it yet!”
“S-sorry…”
“Haa… If you don’t know something about sending a fax, ask others and send it quickly. I have to organize my schedule now.”
“Yes… I understand.”
Like this, they tell you a task and if you don’t complete it, they say something to the point that your self-esteem is completely undermined.
Although she said she got the job thanks to her boyfriend, she was determined to work hard because she got the job as soon as she graduated from college.
Until she learned her job as Team Leader Cho Ye-in’s second-in-command, she was proud because she felt like she was learning it, but it became very difficult for her mentally.
‘I don’t normally like this, but it’s my master’s order, so I can’t help it…’
Kim Seo-yeon was also in a bad mood. She is a high-ranking employee currently sitting in the position of Chief of Staff.
Teaching new students like this is something that should have been done a long time ago.
Now, even if she doesn’t have to pay attention, the employees under her take care of everything, and this case is no different.
Although there are too many people coming in at once and even the team leader level is being appointed as second-in-command, they are all excellent people, so it does not interfere with their work.
So, she doesn’t have to do this, but what can she do, since her master has ordered her to do it.
‘Aren’t you going to quit because you’re so upset like this?’
I’m a little worried because he continued to criticize me without any praise. If you leave with your heart hurt too badly, you will be in big trouble.
The master told me to bring him in to be his slave, but I couldn’t stand the harassment and left the company. That was something that should never have happened.
“Once I take care of that, I’ll take a short break. I’ll call you later if I have anything to do.”
“… Yes.”
When Seo-yeon Kim decided that she shouldn’t bother him too much, he did just one thing: send her fax and gave her time to rest.
I wanted to treat my master as a colonel as quickly as possible, but I really felt like I would quit if he continued to harass me like this.
-Weeeing
Around this time, Lee Hyun-young was sending a fax to the Vice President as instructed by Chief Secretary Kim Seo-yeon.
“Isn’t our chief of staff a bit harsh?”
“Team leader Cho Ye-in?!”
“It’s okay to call quietly.”
“Ah… I’m sorry…”
“Isn’t it difficult to work under me and then become the chief secretary’s second-in-command?”
“Oh, no… I can’t do it all…”
“Don’t worry too much, he’s the type of person who teaches in that style. I also studied under that person, but I cried at home alone for two months.”
“R-yeah…?”
“Yes, he is an unforgiving person when it comes to teaching, but if you learn well, there are many benefits, so I hope you won’t be too offended.”
“… Thank you.”
“Yes, I heard that I could rest after that, but I went into the break room and rested alone.”
“Yes…”
Jo Ye-in, who comforted Lee Hyeon-young, who had tears in her eyes because of how difficult it was, quietly entered the secretary’s office where Kim Seo-yeon was.
“Are you here?”
As she goes inside, she sees Kim Seo-yeon organizing her schedule with her head bowed at her desk.
Seeing her always familiar appearance, Jo Ye-in secretly asked about this new recruit.
“I did give some comfort like you said, but wasn’t that a bit too much? “Is the baby already crying?”
“There’s nothing I can do to make it more useful, so I have to be careful because too much has come in this time.”
“Still… I thought it might be a bit harsh…”
“Are you saying that even though you learned it that way?”
“Even more so because I learned it. I know how difficult it is.”
“You know how busy we are at the end of the year, so we can’t keep teaching with assistant instructors.”
“Ha… I understand. Anyway, I just need to comfort you when my sister scolds me, right?”
“Yes, you treat me well. “I think he’ll be useful if I teach him a little.”
“Okay, that’s what you’re saying, so I have to believe it.”
“Thank you.”
The reason Jo Ye-in comforted Lee Hyun-young was all because Kim Seo-yeon gave her instructions.
The owner clearly told me to bring him to the counseling room, but wouldn’t it be okay if he was too picky and had to leave the company?
That’s why she asked Jo Ye-in, who was close to her as her gunner.
Since Kim Seo-yeon’s teaching style was Spartan in the first place, she was fortunate to be able to overcome it without arousing suspicion.
“If you do a good job this time, I will tell the CEO well.”
“Thank you, sister.”
“Then go ahead, I’m busy right now.”
“Yes.”
While Lee Hyun-yeong knew nothing, she fell into Kim Seo-yeon’s swamp and was increasingly unable to get out.
————————-
“Hmm… There are no good people here.”
The other day, as I was looking around the department to see if there were any spare slaves that could be of use elsewhere, I lamented that there were not as many talented people as I thought.
Even though I’ve been wandering around here and there, there’s no talent worthy of being enslaved.
Since she didn’t know when Lee Hyun-young, whom Kim Seo-yeon had mentioned, would come to the counseling room, she tried to find someone else, but it was a bit of a shock to find out that she wasn’t there.
‘It’s a place to work, so they don’t hire you based on appearance.’
If I were the president of this place, I would have prioritized selecting people I like based on their looks, but this is a place that needs to make a profit.
A place where if you have ability, you will be selected first regardless of appearance and no one will look at anything else.
So, in order to change this place in the future, we had to make more slaves and take control little by little, but since no one wanted it, we had no choice but to be in trouble.
After taking a quick look around the company, it was time to go back to the consulting room.
-Toggak Toggak Toggak
When I heard the sound of shoes coming from somewhere, I instinctively turned my head towards that place.
When I heard the sound, it was the sound of a woman’s hooves, so I thought it might be someone I liked.
“Uh…”
“Oh, hello?”
“Yes… Hello…”
“You saw it once last time, right? A person who came as a counselor.”
“You’re right. My name is Jinseok Lee.”
“My name is Kang So-ra. “I am the head of the sales department.”
The woman I met as I was returning to the consulting room was Kang So-ra, the sales department manager whom I had briefly seen the other day.
Among the women I have, a woman whose appearance is similar to Han Ye-ryeong.
I had no idea that I would meet her here, so I had a conversation with her, hiding my embarrassment for a moment.
“What does the sales department do?”
“Ah… We are in the business of connecting lines to foreign countries with which we have not yet signed a contract.”
“Then you must be good at foreign languages?”
“Of course, you have to know at least three languages to join our department, right?”
I want to talk about something, but it’s not easy to continue the conversation because I don’t know anything about the company.
No matter how much you have experienced company work through games, each company has different tasks.
“Manager Kang So-ra, how many languages can you speak?”
“Hmm… First, I can speak English, Chinese, Japanese, French, and Arabic, so I speak five languages.”
“Five languages?! Is it possible to remember that much?”
“After doing this and that, it worked. At first, I thought it would be impossible.”
“That’s amazing…”
“If I’m going to run as a manager, I have to do this as a basic level.”
Since there is no business-related conversation, all I can do is praise the individual’s abilities.
Still, no one was offended by receiving compliments, so the conversation was able to continue without much difficulty.
“Has Jinseok Lee received counseling from anyone?”
“Ah… There is still only one person.”
“Only one? Who went?”
“There is one person, Seo-yeon Kim, who is the head of the secretary’s office.”
“Oh, did he receive counseling? It’s surprising…”
Of course, she didn’t get the consultation because she wanted to, but I forced her to do it using the item’s ability, but since it was true that she had given the consultation, she just ignored it.
“Is he someone who doesn’t normally receive counseling?”
“Yes, you are a very capable person. I thought you wouldn’t need counseling, but I guess you have some skills?”
“Hey, all I can do is just listen and talk. I think they just made me the first customer, so I wouldn’t feel embarrassed.”
“No matter what, I’m not that type of person.”
“When I first started working here, he was the one who guided me…”
“Yes?! Secretary Kim Seo-yeon gave guidance?!”
In other parts, Kang So-ra shows no reaction at all, but is surprised when she hears that Kim Seo-yeon helped guide me.
Of course, I am a person who has a close relationship with CEO Yoo Jong-hoo, so they assigned me a high-ranking person, but Kang So-ra, who did not know that, looked quite surprised.
“There’s no way he would do something like that because he is someone the CEO cares about…”
Kang So-ra, who was thinking alone after hearing my words, slightly lifted the glasses she was wearing and came closer and whispered.
“Isn’t it… Royal or something…?”
“Royal?”
“Shh! Speak quietly!”
After thinking for a moment about her question, which she asked royally in a way that no one should hear it, I soon realized what it meant.
‘Ah… You were asking if I was the son of a high-ranking official.’
[Otherwise, there would be no need for the chief secretary to guide a single counselor.]
‘Do you think I’m a great person?’
[It will be 100 percent. Kim Seo-yeon’s status here seems to be quite considerable.]
‘Hmm… The first male slave had a lot of power.’
This is an unexpected profit. I thought he was just a slave clinging to a dick, but I never thought he had this much power.
If I used it well, I felt like I could consult with other employees faster than I thought.
“If you are interested in counseling, please come by anytime. Maybe it’s because it’s my first time, but no one has come to visit me yet.”
“I think it would be trustworthy if the secretary received it once. I will come and see you when I have time.”
“Thank you.”
“No, I am also personally interested.”
At first impression, I thought he would be a very strict person, but it turned out better than I expected.
Even though I’m wearing glasses right now, I don’t like my appearance. How beautiful will I be when I take them off?
With that curiosity in mind, I broke up with her and returned to her consulting room.
