I Became a Genius Engineer

University student Lee Cheol-woo (5)

‘Is this good enough?’

Changsoo also exclaimed, and the other students gave thunderous applause. And the professor… … . I do not know.

You seem a little bewildered? Why is that?

“Did you say you were a student of Lee Cheol-woo?”

“Yes. I am Lee Cheol-woo.”

“Hmm… honestly, I was a little surprised.”

“yes?”

What are you surprised about?

“You’re a freshman right now? You’ve never studied programming professionally, have you?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But it’s really amazing to be able to implement this level of quality and functionality. I’m sorry to the Changsoo student from Group 2 just now, but can I use this program as a reference for my class?”

“Yes? You’re using my program as a reference?”

“Ah… no. I can’t use it as a reference.”

Like this and that, what the hell, did you make a program worse than Changsoo?

“Yes? Why?”

“I think that if this program is used as a reference for the next class, students will be discouraged.”

uh… … ? do you mean that much?

The will to teach is broken.

“Ah yes…….”

“It’s really amazing. Everyone pay attention. First of all, it’s the trillion UX. UX is how convenient it is for users to use. This program is truly user-friendly.”

The professor picked up some of the parts I had made and praised them.

“Specially, this part is not an add user button, but made to be used right away, eliminating the hassle of adding members and searching again. That way, the number of times users have to click or type is reduced.”

In a way, it was a natural story.

Adding a user is a new member, and a new member is generally added when a hair treatment is completed.

Of course, if you add a user, a window to immediately enter what type of treatment was performed had to appear.

However, in other programs, members were added, searched, and a procedure input window appeared.

It eliminates the useless process of adding members.

“If you look at the whole, it’s a very small part, but these parts come together and come together to produce a high-quality program. And this time, pay attention to this part. This is . . .

The professor explained to the students why my program was well made for a long time.

Even the professor felt a little excited.

“It’s a really great program. Uh, but I think there’s a name missing in the presentation?”

The professor excitedly explained for a long time and finally talked about the presenter, and I saw Areum Lee.

I saw Areum Lee’s expression for a while at the time of the announcement, but it was quite the opposite expression.

‘I didn’t do anything, but I must have liked it because it produced surprisingly good results.’

There was no intention to be clear, but there would have been no expectations. However, the result was better than expected, so I would have liked it alone.

That is until now.

“Yes. A student named Areum Lee in our group never participated in group assignments. He didn’t cooperate, so we decided he wasn’t in our group.”

“No, Cheolwoo!”

Lee Ah-reum woke up and was hot.

“Um…… I’ll believe Cheol-woo’s words. Student Lee Areum, please leave. It’s an F grade.”

“No, professor. You should listen to me.”

The professor thought for a moment and then said.

“Yes. There may be a little question of equity. If you have something to say, do it.”

“I was recently hospitalized because I was sick. That’s why I couldn’t attend. It’s not that I didn’t want to do anything at all.”

“Is it true what Cheolwoo student Areum said?”

“That’s not true. The hospitalized photos that student Lee Ah-reum posted were floating around on the Internet. Of course, her face didn’t come out. This is the proof.”

Just in case, I searched for ‘hospitalized pictures’ on the Internet, and the same picture that Ah-reum Lee sent me came right away.

Perhaps Lee Ah-reum is ‘Couldn’t he be found out?’ Or maybe he posted the picture without thinking.

“…… Student Areum, please leave the class.”

“Chulwoo Lee!”

“Why? Do we look like Hogu?”

“No! But… this is not the case.”

“Who is without a case?”

“Don’t make a fuss in the beautiful student classroom and leave. If you make a fuss any more, I’ll notify the school.”

“Ahhh!!!”

Lee Ah-reum ran out of the classroom huffing and puffing.

“Today’s presentation will end here. And Cheol-woo and Cha Min-seok, let’s see the professor for a while.”

“yes.”

Why is the professor asking to see our team?

* * *

Minseok and I followed the professor and entered the professor’s room.

“sit down please.”

“yes.”

In a neatly organized room, I took out a chair from a small table and sat down, and the professor sat across from me.

“Do you have any idea why I called you like this?”

“No? I’m not sure. Is it because of student Lee Areum?”

Why did you want to see us?

“No. It was just sorted out in the classroom, and the reason I asked to see it was… well, before that, there’s something to be made clear. It was developed by Cheol-woo, a student in the hair salon program, right?”

Usually, when it comes to group assignments, it was standard for the members of the group to make them because they were proud, but the professor seems to know that things don’t work that way in reality.

“…… No, I made it with Minseok.”

Still, I couldn’t abandon Minseok who helped me by my side.

“I’m in my 20th year as a professor. To create a program like this, there must be one unique person. He has that level of attention. It’s okay. Just say it right.”

I looked at Minseok’s eyes, but his expression was that he couldn’t help it.

“Yes… I almost made it.”

When he said that, Minseok closed his eyes.

“As expected. I called to ask what it would be like to sell the hair salon program to a company.”

… … ? huh? Did I not hear you right now?

Selling my hair salon program to a company? Then what will happen? Will the company supply to hair salons?

Are you saying that the program I made can be used in a real hair salon?

“…… Huh? I’m sorry, but could you say that again?”

“Let’s sell the hair salon program created by student Cheol-woo to companies and generate profits.”

“Um…… Does that mean that the program I made can be used in hair salons?”

“Yes. That’s right. I have a company that I know well, so I’ll let you bridge.”

Is this real? It’s not like a surprise TV show, is it?

I couldn’t believe that the program I made would be commercialized.

“Then how much should I sell it for? How should I sell it?”

asked the professor.

“Cheolwoo student still lacks social experience, so I want to do it instead.”

Are you saying that the professor will step out and help you?

“Uh… that’s good.”

“Of course, we’re asking for consent in advance, and we have to work out how things will turn out in the future. I’m saying don’t drink kimchi soup too early.”

“hahahaha, sure. Of course.”

To be honest, I don’t have any expectations.

Did you dare to imagine that the program I created would be commercialized?

Then, Minseok, who was listening quietly next to him, opened his mouth.

“Hmm… I don’t think this is my place, but can I say something?”

“Yes. Of course.”

“I want to make sure the scope of work is clear.”

When Minseok said that, the professor looked at Minseok unexpectedly.

“hahahaha, you point out the sharp part. Yes. But don’t worry about that. I’ll just take 20% commission in the middle.”

hahahaha… … . What is this? How can a professor talk about money so bluntly?

“Yes. I’m fine.”

I kind of liked it. Thank you if you do.

“I didn’t want to talk about money out of shame, but I’m saying this in recognition of student Lee Cheol-woo. Hmmm…”

Still, he seemed a little embarrassed, he coughed and said.

“all right.”

Minseok seemed to have no objection.

“Okay. Then I’ll call you back later.”

“yes.”

After that, Minseok and I left the professor’s room.

“Minseok, why did you bring that up?”

“Oh, you helped me a lot this time. So I want to be of some help too.”

“hahahaha, thank you.”

“Yeah, if you don’t listen even verbally, how do you know if you’re going to skip 20%, 30%, or 40%?”

“hahahaha, that’s right.”

“Anyway, if things go well, it’s a treat?”

“Then I’ll shoot you!”

I don’t know how much it will be, but I think I can get at least 1 million won.

A few days ago, the professor contacted me asking for a meeting with the company, and I was on my way to the professor’s room with Minseok.

“Cheolwoo, why did you ask me to go with you?”

“Ah… I don’t know about that, so I was wondering if I might need your help.”

“Eh, do you need me?”

“But wouldn’t it be better than going alone?”

“Yeah, I’d love to be of any help.”

After talking about this and that, I arrived at the professor’s office.

When I knocked and went in, two men, estimated to be in their 40s or 50s, were chatting with the professor.

“hello.”

“Oh, welcome. Student Lee Chul-woo. Student Min-seok Cha are also here. Greetings. This is Blue Light CEO Hak-soo Kim, and this is Director Hae-min Park.”

“Hello. I’m Kim Hak-soo. I’ve heard a lot about you from Professor Cheol-woo.”

“I am Park Hae-min. I am in charge of Blue Light Development Director.”

“Hello. I’m Lee Cheol-woo.”

Each of them introduced themselves appropriately and sat down.

“Cheolwoo student.”

The professor called me.

“yes.”

“Did you hear the story? The Blue Light side says they have a mind to take over the program. But they say there are a few obstacles. Director Park Hae-min will tell you the details.”

“First of all, this hair salon program is so amazing. How did a student create such a program himself….

“hahahaha… Thank you.”

“So there’s a little bit of a problem.”

huh? Is there a problem with being too great?

“Yes? Is there a problem?”

“Hmm… It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but it takes a lot of time to fully understand Cheolwoo’s code. It’s so elaborately structured.”

uh? Is it difficult for people in the field to understand my code?

“What do you mean?”

“We also buy a lot of source code from other companies, so it takes a lot of time to analyze the code.”

Oh, it will take me a while to figure out how my program is structured and what interfaces it works with.

still? Are they people in the business?

“Really? Need to analyze?”

After all, my program is too much to commercialize right away, right?

“The program is really great, but a database must be built for commercial service. There is a limit to file I/O.”

Oh, I see. It must be something like a server or DB.

“ah…….”

“So, would you like to work with us?”

“yes?”

What else does this mean? Would you like to work together? Isn’t that a complete scouting offer?

“It’s literally. I’m offering a scout. To be honest, I don’t want to miss student Lee Cheol-woo.”

“uh…….”

What should I do?

Haven’t you thought about getting a job yet? Can I go to work there?

“Then don’t I have to go to work? I’m still a student?”

Of course, I had no desire to continue studying. Still, after graduating normally, wouldn’t it be possible to enter a better place?

“Don’t worry about that. We’ll take care of all the conveniences of student Lee Cheol-woo.”

It was an unconventional proposal.
