chapter 32
32 episodes. a better life
After all, the best way to untangle a tangled relationship is to talk openly at a drinking party.
Although it was beer, not soju, Kim Ha-min drank the glass as if to wash away his stuffy stomach.
When he got drunk like that, he started talking about himself.
Before coming to Australia, he said he was a salesman for a small manufacturing company.
A salesperson who is a salesman, and a salesperson at the end of the word, is the customer’s shidabari.
Since I also dealt with a customer called GL Electronics, I know them well.
If there is a problem with the received product, you have to run to the line immediately and inspect the defect.
In short, you have to be an all-round player.
what? What does the quality or logistics manager do?
They have to come up with an emergency plan for any problems that arise or prepare to deal with them before joining.
The first thing a salesperson runs to is a kind of performance to show off.
The best way to silence customer complaints is to light your face first.
“I felt skeptical. This means that there is nothing to learn about sales. The classmates who went to other departments seem to learn something, but there are a lot of things they pick up on sales, but that’s shallow. Why is there such a thing? level there.”
“I understand what you mean. Moreover, if you look at the seniors above, they must have had a thicker business card book than your brother and had a lot of cell phone number lists, but it must have seemed like there was nothing to learn.”
“You know that it was a trading company, right?”
“Because I had a contact with the manufacturing company. All the sales reps at manufacturing companies my age seem to think so.”
Kim Ha-min nodded.
Then Hee-sun asked with an innocent face.
“Can’t I ask you to change departments?”
“I mean, I did.”
“Isn’t it?”
“He said, “I’ve been working for three years and I’ve been working as an assistant manager for three years, and even if I send it to another department, I’ll send it. But it’s not when I’m in the middle of working because I’ve gotten used to the job as a manager.
“……”
Hee-sun doesn’t seem to know it yet, but I think I know what it feels like.
If the company asks for a department change, it may not be possible if the company assigns it according to need.
Especially if it’s a small business with a shortage of staff.
Luckily, the request was accepted, so even if you change departments, it is not easy to keep up.
It’s also because they get a lot of eyebrows saying they don’t know when it’s going to be hard and they’ll be sent to another department.
“So you came to Australia?”
“Yeah. I don’t want to continue my business days after moving to another company. I applied for another job, but I kept falling out of the paperwork. I came here because I wanted to escape and find a new way.”
“Then do you plan to continue living in Australia?”
“From what I’ve been through so far, I hope it’s like that. If possible, I can’t ask for more if I can go to Inham as a full-time employee and continue to work.”
“okay.”
Obviously, Inham pays a lot of money.
Welfare is good enough to strictly observe days off five days a week.
“But oppa. There’s really nothing to learn at Inham. Why can’t you do it in Korea and want to keep working here?”
Hee-sun asked with a look of incomprehension.
Kim Ha-min asked with a smirk.
“How did the supervisors and leading hands of the packaging line you work look like?”
“How are you?”
“Did it look hard? Or did something look drenched in your life?”
“Not both.”
“You look comfortable? You look happy.”
“yes.”
“That’s what it is. The sales manager of the company I used to go to, without exaggeration, everything seemed difficult. I was nervous because of my performance, and I had to drink too much because I had to drink, so I was mentally and physically exhausted. Learning? It’s to live well. But looking at the seniors, I can’t see any hope. Every year the economy gets worse, the company gets more difficult, and there’s no hope, so I couldn’t stand it any longer.”
Me and Junghoon hyung had no choice but to nod our heads because we had a social life.
In particular, listening to Kim Ha-min, I was able to objectively reconsider what I had thought before coming to Australia.
Something that is passionate and fun to do.
I wanted to find it, so I resigned from the company.
But, as Kim Ha-min said, isn’t that what he was looking for because he ultimately wanted a better life?
‘It’s a better life…’
***
A month has passed since that day.
I tried to enrich my life a little more.
Bobby did his best to do the work he was commissioned to do, and he went to Inham from time to time to socialize with people and learn about the logistics system and process there.
When I had the opportunity to be an outside director, I tried to do this and that.
And most of all, it was horseback riding.
The more I learned, the more I felt that I was good at learning.
The uplifting feeling of matching the words and breathing was very special.
It was because using the vision transmission of clairvoyance, it was no different than a human body.
As an added bonus, the lower body was strengthened just by riding a horse, and the body was getting better by maintaining an upright posture.
“I’m sorry. If Jin was younger and a little bit smaller, he would have suggested that he try jockey.”
Jane said, slurping her lips.
“Aren’t there too many conditions to say sorry? Hahaha.”
“I can’t help it. Those two things are absolutely necessary.”
If possible, the rider must graduate from a rider school accredited by the association.
Of course, there are separate vocational colleges, but in reality, there is an invisible wall between the two graduates.
Moreover, the size and weight are important factors to the extent that there is a weight limit for the rider.
By Western standards, I should say that I have a small physique, but by the standard of a rider, I am inferior.
In the West, for that reason, it was said that female jockeys were also quite active.
Jane also had a history of flying as a jockey at a racetrack at one time.
“Am I doing something?”
“If you just look at handling horses, Jin will pass even if he takes the actual skills now. I think he’s better than anyone I’ve ever seen.”
“It feels good to get such a compliment from a former jockey. Hahaha.”
“I’m serious. It’s a mystery how all horses like Jin.”
I was only making you laugh.
There is a dedicated horse, Percymond, but I have ridden all the horses of the Samford Valley Equestrian Club.
Everyone has different personalities, so it’s fun to ride.
“But today, the experience track is closed, so what’s going on?”
I said looking around from above Percymond.
Usually the track is full of customers.
As a member of a membership or as a tourist with a one-time experience.
But today it was empty except for me.
“We decided not to operate except for regular education. Customers will come.”
“A guest?”
“If you have time, let’s go see the progress. It will be a study.”
Time is running out
While waiting in the main building, a large trailer arrived at the equestrian club.
Maybe a little bigger than a 20ft container?
The rear door of the car opened, and a black horse walked out of it.
Soon after, a few white men in sunglasses were busily coming and going, saddling and gagging.
“Is this a new word?”
“You mean away training at our club. Isn’t it cool?”
“Yes. He’s very handsome.”
Among the horses in Samford Valley, the most handsome is my private horse, Percimond.
But even that Persimmon was inferior to that nigger.
“It’s Thorough Bread.”
“If it’s a thoroughbred, is it a race horse?”
“yes.”
“Wow, it was a racehorse.”
Thorough Bred.
Interpreted with each word, it means a perfect breed.
It is now used as a proper name for the Thoroughbred breed itself.
In a word, it is a breed that has been bred and improved only for the purpose of speed.
So, the standard bread, Persimmon, has no choice but to be inferior.
“John! Long time no see.”
“Jane, how are you?”
“Okay. Do you think that horse is going to do shunchi training today?”
“Yeah. It seems like our ranch is too small, so it’s really frustrating. So I came here with the intention of letting them run freely in the spacious Samford Valley. But who is this friend?”
“Ah, the introduction is late. My name is Jin, my disciple. Jin, this is John, the owner of John & Sara Ranch.”
John & Sara Stud Farm.
As the name suggests, it is a ranch run by a couple named John and Sarah.
Jane explained that stud farm means stallion.
stallion.
It is a special ranch that produces and trains stallions for racehorses.
“Hello. My name is Jin.”
“Nice to meet you, Jin. Call me John. Jane is a good teacher, so there’s a lot to learn. Learn hard, hahaha.”
“thank you.”
After saying good-bye, John took the trainers and the black horse into the track.
Seeing that, I asked Jane.
“Jane, what’s the shunchi training you mentioned earlier?”
“It’s about training horses to ride people. Since racehorses have to run with various riders, training for chastity is more important than anything else.”
“But the state of that horse is a bit strange, isn’t it?”
The black horse was fine until he got on the track, but as soon as the rider got on, he rebelled wildly.
The instructors next to him pulled the reins and tried to calm him down, but they didn’t seem to listen.
“That’s the Unruly Horse.”
“What is that?”
“It’s a term that refers to a horse that has a violent temper and can’t stand the crowd. It seems that’s why he came to our club.”
According to Jane, unruly horses are likely to have come to train here rather than on their ranch, as they can rely on their trainers or jockeys if they find themselves in unfamiliar surroundings.
Even so, the black horse ran rampant through the barrier.
“Wow, is that controlled by training?”
“It’s a little… it’s serious. Most of you are calm when you cover your eyes, but it’s like that even with an eye patch…”
It is said that evil spirits will castrate if they refuse to train until the very end.
Then he explained that his temper could be softened and he could be a bit docile.
Even though the horse’s value as a racehorse decreases because it cannot produce descendants, it is better than not being able to run a race.
“zone!”
Jane suddenly ran to John, who was watching the training.
Then the two of them exchanged a conversation, and together they approached me.
“Jin, why don’t you try riding that horse?”
Jane made an absurd offer to me.
“Yes? Me?”
“Because Jin follows only words. Words with strong vigilance keep a distance from me, but they approach Jin without hesitation.”
“Well, how can I…”
“Jane, stop it. You look insecure, but if you do it wrong, you can get seriously hurt.”
“Jin. Are you really not sure?”
I glanced at the black horse at her words and suddenly became curious.
Will I be able to communicate with those words with my current ability and have a sense of unity?
It’s a word that refuses to touch people so badly.
If the subject strongly rejects it, he wondered if his ability would be out of reach.
“If it’s okay, can I take a ride?”
“After all, you are my pupil. Hohoho.”
“Are you really confident? We won’t be held responsible for any injuries.”
“Don’t worry, John. Jean is the most talkative person I’ve ever seen.”
“What? Are you serious, Jane?”
“Okay. Jin, show me your skills.”
Jane slapped me on the back and grinned.
“But what’s that horse’s name?”
At my question, John scratched his chin as if he couldn’t help it.
“Dark Star. It’s called Dark Star.”
It’s a black star…
The tickle is a storm, huh!
