Cheat day

Menu development(5)

“But I wasn’t just rejected.”

Baek Woo-jin and the viewers stopped crying.

“There’s a menu that, despite being suggested five times a week for three whole months, has never been rejected, even if there were complaints.”

Is there such a thing?

└If it’s five times a week, don’t you get tired of it?

└No way, lol. If you’ve been seeing each other for 3 months, aren’t you basically dating?

I have a feeling something sad is going to happen.

“It’s stir-fried pork belly.”

The chat window froze for a moment.

“I will submit the evidence.”

I showed the viewers the pre-prepared KakaoTalk chatroom screenshot file.

I struggled with the mosaic processing, but this is the decisive evidence that firmly establishes my claim.

“This is a conversation I had with a colleague from the same team when I was working at the company.” Of course, it was a woman.

Thank you for everything, Manager.

I don’t think I can continue working at the company anymore. It seems like it’s not suited for me. There are things I want to do. I’m not feeling well either. I’m sorry, even though you taught me well.5:35 PM

Is our company struggling a lot?

5:41 PM {I should have considered how hard it would be in advance.}

5:42 PM {Did you talk to the team leader?}

I’ll tell you later. 5:43 PM

{I’m really sorry} 5:44 PM

5:42 PM {No. It’s okay.

We know it’s tough. Don’t blame yourself.

5:44 PM {You must have thought a lot about it, but hang in there.}

“This person had other dreams and unfortunately resigned, but at least for three months, they didn’t refuse to eat spicy stir-fried pork.”

The chat window’s response is strange.

Hahaha, crazy! Hahaha!

└It’s obvious you didn’t want to eat it, but you forced yourself to eat it, right?

└So clueless, lol

└Finally, the side dish section will have a controversy tab on Namuwiki

└Lunch is stir-fried pork, lololololol

└He even said he would buy it in the middle of the conversation, lol.

└They ask if they can change it, but today it’s pork belly stir-fry, so no way, lol.

“Isn’t this workplace harassment?”

Baek Woo-jin said something that could cause a big problem.

“What are you talking about?” How well I’ve treated this person. I was on edge, thinking about what would happen if my first intern ran away, no, quit. 봐. You said you were sorry for teaching well on Thursday, September 21st.

Baek Woo-jin shook his head.

“There’s no time difference between the message saying ‘thank you for everything’ and the one below it.” If it’s such a long text, I wrote it in the notes and then copied and pasted it right away.

“What is that?”

“I didn’t want to be persuaded, so I wrote everything down in detail and sent it all at once.”

“Why?”

“Why, why?” It’s because of lunch!

“Oh, I can see how you might misunderstand, but I was really busy with work back then.” That’s why. And that person had dreams too.

Dream? What dream?

“I have a pizza place in Italy.”

“Working at a video production company and then at a pizza place?” That too, Italy?

“Isn’t it cool?” Your dreams are quite ambitious.

“Hyung, get a grip.” “Anyone can see it’s because of the spicy pork stir-fry.”

“There’s no way.” “When you go to Italy later, you should come visit.”

└You’re just innocent, not stupid, lol.

└Here comes the idiot again, lol.

Where in Italy is this? LOL

└Looks like you really wanted to escape, huh? LOL You didn’t have any excuses, so you went for Italian pizza, LOL

“And what is this?” They asked if I could eat something else, but it’s spicy pork and beef stir-fry. “Are you a psychopath?”

└For real, lol.

└Seeing that you really don’t know what the problem is, I doubt your empathy skillsㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└No way, lol. Is this for real, like a thriller movie or something, lol?

└Just imagining it gives me chillsㅋㅋㅋ I got tired of eating only spicy pork, so I asked if I could eat something else, and they said it’s stir-fried pork and squid?Hahahahahahaha

The other day, the lady at the restaurant said squid came in cheap, so she recommended we try the stir-fried squid and pork today. How can you resist spicy stir-fried pork? 진짜. If you really disliked it even a little bit, you would have said something, right?

“Just in case.” Wow.

Baek Woo-jin was at a loss for words, as if he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

“Okay.” Even if this person left for another reason, the fact remains unchanged. When I suggested eating something else, you all rejected it, right? But stir-fried pork with spicy sauce has never been rejected. I don’t know if there’s a better menu than spicy stir-fried pork, but at least it’s better than tteokbokki.

“That’s why I quit, because of that spicy pork stir-fry?”

“Why?”

└It’s so annoying when they innocently ask why, lol.

└[Gomjireongi has donated 10,000 won]: Understood. In this guy’s brain, spicy stir-fried pork = delicious. So, I just can’t understand the very idea of disliking stir-fried pork.

└This is hilarious, lol.

└No way, lol. Leaving aside the spicy stir-fried pork, anyone would get tired of eating the same menu for three months, lol.

└This is so real I love spicy stir-fried pork, but three months is too much

Regardless of gender or age, eating the same food for three months is a valid reason for resignation. Unemployment benefits should be given.

“Everyone, this person keeps blaming their resignation on stir-fried pork, but this is really unreasonable.” It was called spicy stir-fried pork, but it was actually a set meal. The side dishes were different every day, and the soups alternated between doenjang jjigae, sundubu jjigae, and kimchi jjigae. There’s no way I’d get tired of it!

While I was talking, a super chat came in.

└[Mozzarella has donated 2,000 won]: Manager, it’s me, Eunju. It’s because of the spicy stir-fried pork.

└My turn, lol.

“Here?”

└Is this for real?

Kim Eun-joo, who left for Italy six years ago, sent support.

There are people who lie sometimes, but they mentioned their own name precisely, so it can’t be someone else.

“Is this really Eunju?”

See! “They say it’s really all because of the spicy stir-fried pork!”

└hahahahahaha

└Isn’t it a lie?

How does he even know the name if he’s lying? LOL, seriously LOL.

Wow. I’m really glad to see you. Are you making the pizza well? “Don’t feel obligated to support, just chat with me.”

└Mozzarella: No. It was a lie. At that time, I was too young to know how to resign, and I felt like I had to come up with a reason…

I was so shocked that I couldn’t speak, but Baek Woo-jin stepped in.

“Ms. Eunju, if it’s not too much trouble, would you be available for a call?” It seems that we need accurate information.

Hey. “Don’t put pressure on me.”

A few years ago, I felt embarrassed to ask someone I briefly worked with for a favor, so I hesitated, but surprisingly, they accepted it willingly.

I wonder if they changed their number, as we were connected through KakaoTalk Voice Talk.

Hello?

Hello. Um… are you really okay with this?

-Yes. It’s okay.

My head is starting to throb.

“Then, please introduce yourself.”

-uh. My name is Kim Eun-joo, and I am 30 years old. I live in Sindaebang. I used to work at the same company as Assistant Manager Banchan.

Uh? I’m not 30 years old. Ms. Eunju was born in 1992. There was a misunderstanding.

-Only.

As a hint of playful annoyance mixed into Kim Eun-joo’s voice, Baek Woo-jin rushed in like a bat out of hell.

“Exactly.” These days, people talk about age in the way it’s counted. Let’s speak in full age. My brother is so uncultured. I’m sorry, Eunju.

-It’s okay. You were a bit inconsiderate before as well.

Baek Woo-jin scolded me, and Kim Eun-joo chimed in, making the viewers laugh.

“I would like to ask about that consideration.” You said you quit because of the spicy pork stir-fry earlier, right? Please tell me in detail.

At Baek Woo-jin’s question, Kim Eun-joo hesitated slightly before speaking up.

– I didn’t know because it was the first place I got a job. I’ve been eating only spicy stir-fried pork all week.

“Oh dear.”

Baek Woo-jin lamented.

-CEO, team leader, manager, deputy manager, we all just naturally went to the cafeteria in the basement of the building during lunchtime and had spicy stir-fried pork.

“It must have been really painful.”

-I like spicy stir-fried pork too, but how can a person eat only spicy stir-fried pork?

“Right.” Right.

-So, I was too scared to talk to the CEO or the team leader, so I appealed to the assistant manager who had been nice to me.

“Did you?”

-They really couldn’t understand.

“Hehehahaha.”

Baek Woo-jin burst into laughter.

-When we talked about osam bulgogi. That wasn’t the only time. Before that, I hinted for almost two months that I wanted to eat something different, but every time, they reacted like that.

“Hah hah hah.”

“Stop laughing already.”

“Sure.” Ahem. So you really quit because of the spicy pork stir-fry?

Baek Woo-jin, who had been laughing as if he was about to pass out, finally calmed down and asked.

-There is that reason too.

“There’s another reason, but does stir-fried pork with spicy sauce have a share in this?”

-Yes.

“No, Eunju.” Did you really dislike it that much? The pork belly there is delicious, isn’t it?

-Delicious food is only good once in a while.

At Kim Eun-joo’s retort, Baek Woo-jin started laughing, holding his stomach.

“Um…” I really didn’t know. If I had known, I would have gone to eat some stir-fried pork.

– Hehe.

Kim Eun-joo suddenly laughed.

Baek Woo-jin’s laughter grew louder, and the chat window went wild.

Pork belly or stir-fried pork, lol.

└This person really doesn’t understand the essence of the problem, lol.

└I haven’t laughed like this in a while, lol.

Is that company still around?

└Jeyuk torture

“Anyway, I’m glad to hear you’re doing well now.”

-I never said anything like that.

“Do you have any final words you’d like to say?”

– Ah. Yes. Assistant Manager Banchan, in fact, you treated me really well. Even the spicy stir-fried pork wasn’t because of you, it was more about the company atmosphere. So, negative comments? Please don’t add sugar.

Ah, that’s good. Thank you for telling me.

-네. I’m enjoying the broadcast.

I hurriedly ended the call.

Baek Woo-jin, holding his stomach, is now wheezing to the point of being confused whether he’s laughing or crying.

“……lost.”

I no longer have the strength or motivation to continue today’s discussion.
