Cheat day

More money

“Let’s wrap up the meeting here.”

CEO Hong Seong-il of Hongdamu Entertainment looked around.

These days, it seems like the trend is towards positive influence, sharing, and volunteering. Why does it even come out in the news? What did they say?

“Are you referring to the Baek Seung-yoong car?”

“Yeah.” Baek Seung-yong’s car. Let’s look into that too. Isn’t it great? Isn’t that right?

“That’s right.”

The meeting attendees agreed with Representative Hong Seong-il’s remarks.

“And before signing the contract, make sure to check if there’s any history of school violence or if they usually drink and drive.”

At Representative Hong Sung-il’s remarks, Planning Support Team Leader Oh Hyung-man couldn’t lift his head.

Recently, a major controversy arose when it was revealed that a YouTuber, who was unusually offered an advance payment to join, had been caught driving under the influence.

Following that, reports have emerged about a YouTuber who has been repeatedly committing school violence.

They had all been under contract with Hongdangmu Entertainment for less than three months.

If we had responded quickly, the company’s image wouldn’t have taken such a hit.

Due to Team Leader Oh Hyung-man’s poor judgment, Hongdangmu not only lost money but also became known as a company associated with school violence and drunk driving criminals.

“Not just one, but three.”

CEO Hong Seong-il glared at Team Leader Oh Hyung-man and said.

In the meeting where all the team leaders gathered, Oh Hyung-man’s face, embarrassed, turned red and blue with shame.

“Actually, we had no way to verify it.”

“Why wouldn’t there be?” Then why did everything go smoothly until now?

When Oh Hyung-man tried to evade responsibility, CEO Hong Sung-il shouted angrily.

“The recent issues have all been with cases contracted by Deputy Kim Seo-jin…”

“Is that something you should be saying in front of me right now?” “Is this the time to complain about not being able to manage subordinates?”

“No.”

Team Leader Oh Hyung-man could not endure the CEO’s anger and the contemptuous gazes of his fellow team leaders.

I felt nothing but wronged thinking that I was being humiliated in public because of Deputy Kim Seo-jin’s mistake.

“Even someone like that is a team leader.”

Representative Hong Seong-il clicked his tongue and left the meeting room.

Even the team leaders were gradually leaving their positions, and Kim Woo-rak, the head of the External Cooperation Team, approached Team Leader Oh Hyung-man.

“Go.”

Team Leader Oh Hyung-man closed his eyes tightly and warned, but Team Leader Kim Woo-rak smiled broadly and said.

“Pathetic.” Pathetic. 어? If you have nothing to say, at least keep your mouth shut. Why is Kim Seo-jin bringing it up?

“Kim Woo-rak.”

“Isn’t it because of you that the aged kimchi is gone?” “Did you think the CEO wouldn’t know?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why are you asking me?” “After Mukunji resigned, you should know better how many CS cases came up in the Planning Support Team.”

Team Leader Oh Hyung-man clenched his fist.

“Even people who were doing fine without any problems leave without renewing their contracts.” The team members are also resigning. You went around making contracts to boost performance, and now you’ve smeared the company’s reputation. I scolded him a bit, and he just made excuses. How on earth are you sitting there? 어? “Please tell me the secret.”

Team Leader Kim Woo-rak was really getting under Oh Hyung-man’s skin.

Even without that, the Planning Support Team’s evaluation had been declining day by day since Mugunji’s resignation.

Unbeknownst to him, people began to criticize Oh Hyung-man’s incompetence, and his fellow employee, Kim Woo-rak, was also part of that group.

“Assistant Manager Eunji should have been the team leader.” “Because of that guy who has no ability but only his pride, it didn’t work out, you know.”

Kim Woo-rak left the conference room, sneering at Oh Hyung-man.

“Damn it.”

Oh Hyung-man gritted his teeth.

I couldn’t tell where it all went wrong, but I felt wronged and angry.

Oh Hyung-man immediately headed to the office and shouted.

“Kim Seo-jin, come in.”

Kim Seo-jin sighed and stood up.

It was expected that the incident caused by the recently contracted YouTubers would be mentioned in the representative meeting.

Kim Seo-jin opened the meeting room door with a heavy heart and was taken aback by the unexpected shouting.

“What the hell are you doing?”

“……I’m sorry.”

“Sorry?” Do you know what you’re apologizing for?

“But it wasn’t something I could manage.” Personally, I don’t drink and drive.

“Don’t come near me!”

Kim Seo-jin lowered his head at Team Leader Oh Hyung-man’s furious face.

“You said you wanted to be promoted to manager.” “Doing work like this, what kind of manager are you!”

My lips felt like they were drying up.

Deputy Kim Seo-jin clasped his hands together.

“뭐? Is the future bright? Mugunji brought in those kids and messed up all the re-contracts, then brought in a bunch of thugs, and now it’s total chaos! Is that all you’ve got?

Kim Seo-jin, who was compared to aged kimchi, bit her lip tightly.

“I was crazy to listen to you and throw out the aged kimchi.” 어? At least when he was around, we didn’t have these kinds of problems! I know!

“That task is also up to the team leader.”

“Do you think I’m an idiot?”

Oh Hyung-man shouted.

“Do you know what the people who quit after Mukbang said when they left?” “When there was old kimchi, all I had to do was work, but now they say they can’t live because of you!”

“…….”

“What on earth are you up to? I’m watching you closely.” 어? If you want to be recognized, shut your mouth and do your job properly!

“Team leader.”

“Get out!”

I could no longer continue the conversation with Team Leader Oh Hyung-man’s stern voice.

After leaving the meeting room, Deputy Kim Seo-jin grabbed a cigarette and headed to the rooftop, making a face as a team member followed him out.

“What.”

“I’m just worried about you, sir.” “Why are you acting like that, team leader?”

Employee Park Hyung-wook asked.

“I don’t know.” “Damn it.”

Assistant Manager Kim Seo-jin sighed.

“Do you know what Muk-ji is doing right now?”

“Didn’t you know?” I went into the side dish store, didn’t I?

“What are you talking about?”

At that moment, Kim Seo-jin, who didn’t understand Park Hyung-wook’s words, raised an eyebrow.

“Side dish?”

Park Hyung-wook opened the rooftop door.

Yes. I heard they were working as a PD there.

“How does he think he knows anything, PD?”

“You used to plan content even when you were here, right?” You were doing really well, weren’t you?

When Deputy Kim Seo-jin lit a cigarette and frowned, Park Hyung-wook glanced at him.

“Anyway, they stick together.”

Assistant Manager Kim Seo-jin mocked the two people.

It was utterly ridiculous that the plump banchan, which looked like it could barely walk, and the aged kimchi, which seemed like it would break if you just nudged it, were working together.

“But why is Deputy Manager Muk-ji here?”

It seems the team leader got scolded. Suddenly going crazy.

“What did you say?”

“It’s different when there’s aged kimchi.” Ha, if I saw that bastard outside, I would have half-killed him.

Assistant Manager Kim Seo-jin exhaled a long puff of cigarette smoke.

In the meeting room, I was flustered and didn’t realize it, but upon reflection, unlike the people I recently contracted who caused trouble, Banchan-yong was gaining both recognition and a positive image through exposure on TV media.

I finally understood why Team Leader Oh Hyung-man brought up the topic of aged kimchi.

Sigh. Anyway, it doesn’t help in life.

Looking at the atmosphere, it seemed like the promotion to manager was getting further away.

Deputy Kim Seo-jin flicked the cigarette to extinguish the embers and then flicked away the butt.

“The team leader is the same.” 어? When did they ever ask us to come in because our performance dropped? “Do you think it’s easy to bring in kids like that?”

“Manager.”

Park Hyung-wook showed the smartphone.

The conversation with the secretary’s office staff contained insults directed at Team Leader Oh Hyung-man.

{Your team leader is really legendary} 11:17 AM

Why?

{You just walked in anyway.}

11:18 AM {Really angry}

The boss is scolding me.

{In the meantime, trying to make excuses, they blamed Deputy Kim Seojin, lol} 11:20 AM

11:20 AM {Really?}

{Uh. Only Kim Seo-jin became pitiful.11:22 AM

“Ha.”

Kim Seo-jin was astounded by the fact that, as if venting his anger wasn’t enough, he had also badmouthed her at the representative meeting.

And then, he got even angrier.

The rope I thought was a lifeline had rotted away.

“If you’re going to fall, fall alone.”

Team Leader Oh Hyung-man stubbornly clung to the hem of his clothes like a water ghost, and as a result, Deputy Kim Seo-jin was perceived as an incompetent person by the CEO and other team leaders.

The opportunity to rise higher at Radish Entertainment was no longer available.

Please provide the text you would like me to translate.

“It’s okay.”

I asked Mukkunji to consult with the freelance editors and pick out the video, and after a few trial and error attempts, we quickly got a good result.

It seems like the result of having watched my broadcasts the longest and having studied editing techniques.

As more and more places to appear came up, I gradually wanted to step back from editing, and it worked out well.

“Next time, I’ll leave it to you, PD.” “Feedback is only given when necessary.”

I understand.

The aged kimchi is hesitating instead of returning to its place. It’s a bit surprising that someone who used to speak so assertively is like this now.

“Do you have something to say?”

When I asked him to speak comfortably, he swallowed his words a few times before finally spitting them out.

“What exactly are you looking for?”

“What…?” Ah.

It’s what we talked about on Monday.

I forgot because of the filming for “Baekban” and only remembered this morning, but I was too busy with work.

“There’s nothing special.” Eat healthy meals and go for walks.

“…….”

If you push yourself too hard from the beginning, it will actually be worse. Let’s take it step by step, one by one.

If someone who has suffered from an eating disorder for a long time suddenly eats regular food, it can cause problems.

Whether it’s a misfortune or a blessing, if Mukji had gorged himself and then immediately vomited, his digestive system would have been shocked, leading to stomach upset or indigestion.

So, it’s important to start with a light diet and gradually normalize your eating habits.

Really. Would that be alright?

“Of course.” It’s important to do things one by one. If you eat porridge, you can eat rice porridge. If you eat porridge, you’ll also eat rice. When both you and I get healthy, we should occasionally go out to the suburbs and eat something delicious.

Mukji hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Understood. So, when should we start?

“Doing it right away is the best.”

“All, right now?”

“네. I wonder if the porridge shop is open now. They also sell miyeok at the porridge shop nearby. “Would you like to go?”

“…….”

“I was hungry too, you know.” Let’s go eat.

Just in case you changed your mind, I ended up urging you without even realizing it.

Understood. “Just a moment.”

Mugunji packed a small bag and went outside.

I thought she might have gone to the bathroom, so I waited leisurely, and after a while, she returned to the office.

“Prepared.”

“Yes.”

When I got up and turned my body, Mukji’s face looked slightly different.

Usually, I looked somewhat gaunt and gloomy due to anorexia, but now I feel a bit healthier and brighter.

Just thinking about eating rice makes me feel this healthy.

Starting is half the battle, and it already has an effect.

“It looks nice.”

“Yes?”

I said it looks good. Let’s hurry up.
