I Became a Genius Engineer

Part-timer Lee Cheol-woo (2)

“Yes. Director Park.”

“Has Cheolwoo student modified this code by any chance?”

I wanted to be unknown, but there was no reason not to be known.

“Yes. I edited it. Sorry. I uploaded it arbitrarily.”

“Uh… how should I say this?”

When he told the truth, Director Park put on a bewildered expression. I’d like to make it a problem for uploading without permission. The uploaded code didn’t have any problems, so it seemed that he was at a loss as to what to do.

“Everyone is so busy, so I uploaded it randomly. Judging by the atmosphere, it seems like I didn’t have much time.”

“her.”

“Director? Who is that?”

Team leader Min, who was next to me, asked.

“Ah, let’s say hello. I’m a hair salon program developer the other day. Cheol-woo is a student, and this is Min Seok-hoon, team leader.”

“Hello. Team leader Min Seok-hoon. I’m Lee Cheol-woo.”

“Ah…. Yes, hello. My name is Min Seok-hoon, who was in charge of Blue Light Development Team 1.”

Team leader Min said hello with a bewildered expression.

“Is it Mr. Cheol-woo who wrote this code?”

And then one more fact check.

“yes.”

“…… Director Park, how the hell did this happen?”

“hehehe, I thought I saw it before. I never thought it would be like this in real practice.”

“yes?”

“Didn’t you say you had to work on the hair salon program database?”

“Yes. That was canceled.”

“It wasn’t canceled, but student Cheol-woo worked on it and gave it to me in just two hours. That’s why it went directly to the service planning team without going through the development team.”

“……? Oh? Did you? Are you going over to the service planning team now?”

“uh.”

“hahahaha.”

“…… Anyway, I owe student Cheol-woo. As soon as I went to work like this, he removed a big trouble.”

“hahahaha, no. First of all, I’m an employee at Blue Light. Although it’s a part-time job.”

“Seriously, did a student write this code?”

Director Park acknowledged my ability easily because he had seen my ability before, but Team Leader Min still doesn’t believe it.

“Yes. I have the original source when I go to my PC.”

Team leader Min came to my place and looked at the original source.

“……Wow, what the hell did you do?”

“I just worked on it based on the atmosphere. There were a lot of problems with the code, so while I was doing it, I also corrected it neatly.”

“That’s… it just won’t be easy.”

“It worked.”

“…”

“hahahaha.”

Team leader Min didn’t say anything for a long time, and I smiled at a distance.

“How old are you this year? No, what grade are you in?”

“I’m 20 years old this year, and I’m in first grade now.”

“…”

Once again, team leader Min was speechless.

“… I can’t believe it. What did I do when I was 20…”

“hahahaha. Please take care of me.”

“Yes. Please take good care of me in the future.”

Team leader Min shook my hand with a puzzled look on his face.

“Okay, I fixed the error. Let’s all go eat lunch.”

Cheol-woo showed outstanding performance from the first blue light work, and showed a unique presence. 2 weeks from that.

On days when there were no classes, or when there were not many classes, I went to work at Blue Light and helped with various things.

“Wow, that’s great. Mr. Cheol-woo. Thinking of making this like this. Really, Mr. Cheol-woo should sit in the team leader’s position, not me?”

“hahahaha no. I’m still very inexperienced.”

“It’s really cool. Great.”

“hahahaha. Thank you.”

“Oh, and the next task is this. It’s a shopping mall, so it’s not that difficult, just copy it…”

While receiving recognition from team leader Min and the employees around him, he was adjusting to part-time work for a while.

Blue Light CEO and Director Park were meeting in the conference room.

“How is student Cheol-woo?”

the representative asked.

“Wow, it’s really not a joke. Even if you do well, you’re so good. I can’t believe I’m 20 years old now. CEO, you’ve got some eyes. Did you say the labor cost was 300? You’re doing a much bigger job.”

“Is that enough?”

“Yes. A real genius.”

“Heh heh, it’s going to be full for a month soon… Shall I continue to work part-time under these conditions?”

“I’m not sure about that yet. Um… But since they’re taking care of student Cheol-woo’s convenience in many ways, wouldn’t it be a win-win for both of them? I’m not sure they’ll recognize it anywhere else.”

“First of all, we have a little more time, so let’s wait. I didn’t call for that.”

“Yes. Then?”

“This time, our company’s situation has improved a little, so I’m going to try a new challenge.”

“What challenge are you talking about?”

“Apps are hot these days. There are a lot of requests coming in, so I thought I’d try developing one.”

Ohsung Electronics had just launched the Luxy series, and smart phones were spreading all over the world.

“Are you referring to the Android app?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Um…. To do that, you need a Java developer, and you need to be able to handle the Android SDK well.

“So I’m worried. Who should I raise?”

“Are you in a hurry? Or do you have some time?”

“Honestly, the sooner the better. Right now there is one bigger thing than I thought, and I wonder if I should miss it.”

“How about a big one?”

“Do you have any edification phrases that were opened a few weeks ago?”

“yes.”

“There, they said they were developing an Android app this time. So I asked if it was possible to develop it.”

“Is it an edifying phrase?”

“Yes. There were some problems this time, but it was launched successfully in its own way. I think I appreciated that.”

“under…….”

Director Park let out a deep sigh.

“Why is that?”

“There’s a little bit of a story about that too. If Cheol-woo hadn’t been active that day, we could have eaten all the swear words and even went to compensation.”

“Really? That’s what happened.”

“yes.”

“Thanks to student Cheolwoo, it’s a bit ironic that I can get an order for an Android app. How much is the estimate?”

“It’s about 30 million won according to what we’re talking about right now.”

“It’s pretty big.”

“That’s right. There will be many more like this in the future.”

“Hmm…. there’s not enough time to grow people and do things, and to do that, to recruit new people, it hasn’t been verified.”

“Yes. That’s right. So this request is unfortunate, but I think it’s better to just skip it and prepare for the next one.”

“hmm…….”

Director Park deepened his thoughts. how to develop this. Then, not long after, it dawned on me.

“ah!”

“Why? Got a good idea?”

“Why don’t you ask Cheol-woo to do it?”

“Are you a student Cheol-woo?”

“Yes. The speed of learning is so fast, and the ability is outstanding, so wouldn’t it be possible to develop it sufficiently?”

“Hmm…. It’s not like I didn’t think about it. Certainly, he has excellent skills, but since Cheol-woo is a part-time job, he doesn’t know when he will leave. I have to go.”

It wasn’t that the CEO didn’t disapprove of Cheol-woo’s ability, but he had to consider several environmental factors.

This project was an investment of the company’s money. I had to be more careful.

“Even if you go to the army after finishing your freshman year, you still have a few months left. Why don’t you let Cheol-woo learn first and then have team leader Min teach?”

“Hmm. Can I learn that fast? Android doesn’t have enough references yet.”

It was a time when smartphones were just getting popular. There wasn’t much documentation about Android development.

Although the representative had a lot of worries.

“Yes. I think it’s possible enough.”

Director Park was confident.

“You look at me very highly.”

“You saw the CEO too? That ability at that time? He’s a genius.”

“Well, it is. But… the down payment alone is 10 million won. When the contract is canceled, the penalty is tripled.”

It wasn’t too much of a concern.

“Still, I think it’s worth a try. Student Cheol-woo says it’s a part-time job, but it’s more responsible than I thought.”

As Director Park continued to recommend strongly, the CEO’s heart moved little by little.

“Okay. Let’s try it. We can’t stay here forever. While Cheol-woo is at our company now. This may be an opportunity. Could you call for student Cheol-woo?”

“yes.”

After a while, Director Park entered the representative office with Cheol-woo.

“Hello. Cheolwoo student, you’ve just started working, but I heard that it’s no joke that you’re already active.”

“hahahaha, no.”

“This time, we decided to try one, so we called it this way.”

“A challenge?”

“Yes. Do you use Android?”

“Yes. I am using it.”

“There is something I need to develop an Android app this time, and I’m going to entrust it to Mr. Cheol-woo.”

The representative went straight to the point.

“An Android app… you’ve never played it before?”

“Yes. I thought so. But the reason I’m leaving it to Mr. Cheol-woo is because he learns quickly and works well.”

“Um… can I do it well?”

Cheol-woo’s ability was outstanding, but it had only been about three weeks since he started properly. Cheol-woo still didn’t know exactly how far his ability was.

“Yes. Seeing Cheol-woo’s recent performance, I thought he could be trusted.”

“I……then what if I can’t?”

“Well, even if I can’t, I can’t help it.”

After hearing the CEO’s words, Cheol-woo thought.

‘It can’t be helped? Obviously, this company will be developing Android for the first time. You believe in me that much?’

Cheol-woo did not know business, but there was nothing he could do about his social life as he heard from acquaintances around him.

I learned that with work comes responsibility.

‘It can’t be helped… … . Are you betting on me?’

And I knew. How much is the CEO betting on himself now?

‘Hmm, I’m worried… … . I’m not even a full-time employee, so can I take on this job?’

Cheol-woo’s worries deepened.

“uh…….”

“Even if we can’t promise anything else, we can promise a separate incentive payment when the app is successfully developed.”

“Incentives…how much?”

“It’s 5 million won.”

“I’ll do it.”

Cheol-woo, who knew the taste of money, decided right away.

‘How difficult would it be if Android was difficult?’

Cheol-woo was confident.

“Oh, and there are a few more conditions. There is a condition that you will work for our company until you finish your freshman year. I think Cheol-woo should learn and teach Min to the team leader.”

“all right.”

‘It’s not a company I’ll be working with for the rest of my life, but since I’m a student now. And a lot of money.’

When Cheol-wu started earning money, the attitude towards him at home changed.

“Yes. I’ll organize the contents as soon as possible. Stop and leave.”

“all right!”

Cheol-woo left the office and went to his desk to search for Android.

‘Oh, Android is made with Java, let’s see… … . You have to use the Android SDK and also use the NDK to improve performance.’

I was figuring out about Android in advance.

Unlike C++, Java is an object-oriented language. hmm… … . little

It’s hard. It’s object-oriented, I don’t know what you mean.’

C++ and Java are fundamentally different languages.

Originally, Android development was generally done in Java.

‘for a moment? you don’t have to do that? After all, if you develop a native app using the NDK, you can also make it using C++, right?’

Cheol-wu had a completely strange idea.

NDK, Native Development Kit. Native development kit. In other words, native development tools.

Native in Android used to refer to C++.

I was thinking of programming at a much lower level.
