89 – 89. Project (4)
“Is it today?”
Trainer Hyeji Lee said to me while I was panting.
That’s right.
It’s today.
A fiery Saturday and a day of fantastic pool parties.
But there is one thing you need to do before going to the pool party.
Right away,
Holding a video conference with the local manager of the Mexican branch.
Although I am now in charge of the Mexican branch, I still cannot ignore the influence of the local manager.
In order to properly carry out the project I want to do, I have to use local employees like my hands and feet.
In order to do that, you have to first roast and boil the local person in charge. Don’t you think you’ll have to do something or not once you see his face?
Since we can’t see each other in person, we naturally want to see each other through video conferencing.
And what..
On the surface, the idea is to boil the local manager for the sake of the project.
In reality, that should be possible so that I can create a framework that can control the main character, so I’m trying to make the local manager definitely on my side.
I gave instructions to harass the main character,
‘Why do I have to do this?’
It would be difficult if it came out like this, right?
Even if you don’t say it out loud, you can say ‘I understand’ and do something else.
This is why foreign countries are not managed well.
It would be nice to plant a few spies in the Mexican branch, but that is only possible if you have been in the company for a long time or have strong personal connections. Is that even possible for a chaebol who hangs out at the company?
I could hastily create someone who swears loyalty and send him to the Mexican branch, but if that happens, everyone will know that he is a spy I sent, so even if I send him there, there is no way I will get any real results.
In the end, the best thing to do in the current situation is to get the Mexican local manager on my side.
That’s number 1.
What was your name?
Is this Managing Director Kim Chan-oh?
It has been about 5 years since I was assigned to the Mexico branch.
It seems that he became an executive at the age of 50 and immediately moved to Mexico. He is said to be one of the executives who went there and achieved some success and was doing well.
Looking at the fact that he was assigned to a non-major overseas branch, it doesn’t seem like he was in the grandfather or father’s line. He did some work, but it seems he was sent there because he was loyal to the company.
‘So, I won’t hold a big grudge against this personnel appointment.’
Still, since he is an executive, he must be quite loyal to the conglomerate.
Who appointed the executives?
To be exact, he may be a grandfather, but he still won’t treat me, his grandson, carelessly.
So, when holding a video conference, it is important to take a certain stance and make it work for you.
I have never been contacted in advance through another line.
They didn’t even contact me to say there would be a video conference.
I just take care of it.
Roughly when he works?
I took a deep breath and spoke to trainer Hyeji Lee.
“Isn’t it because of me that you came out early for no reason?”
Trainer Lee Hye-ji shakes her head.
“It’s good to exercise in the morning. How refreshing is it?”
I came today at 6 o’clock, just in time for the gym to open.
I came here without telling Dong-soo and Geun-woo in order to exercise quietly alone, but late last night, I left a clue to trainer Hye-ji Lee and the situation ended up like this.
How was yesterday’s talk?
[Hyeji]: Are you coming tomorrow too? You have to run until the end, right?
[Woojin]: This is the last time? Am I going to keep exercising?
[Hyeji]: Are you really going to keep doing this? Believe!
[Hyeji]: But what I mean is
[Hyeji]: Today is the day I aimed for, so I said it was the last day!
[Woojin]: Oh? I will go tomorrow.
[Woojin]: But since the pool party is held in the evening, evening exercise is a bit…
[Hyeji]: I’ll prepare!
[Woojin]: Yes?
He said he had been here since morning.
Preparation means standby.
I didn’t even mention the time…
“If this is enough per week, you’re doing really well!”
Trainer Hyeji Lee was impressed when she saw my body reflected in the clothes.
A week?
If you think about it, it’s not even a week.
However, since I exercised far more than a week’s worth of exercise that an average office worker can do, my body should be at this level.
Well..
I’m not a typical office worker…
As expected, I get very good results from working and leaving work as I want.
“But it’s still not enough.”
It is very lacking.
I don’t have abs, my shoulders are weak, and I don’t think I have much latissimus dorsi…
Just lost a little weight and gained some muscle?
Anyway, from what I saw, there were a lot of shortcomings.
Of course, from Trainer Lee Hye-ji’s point of view, she has grown a lot in just one week. She probably knows a lot of people who exercise, so it would be really absurd to say that her body has improved because of this.
Trainer Hyeji Lee came closer.
“If you keep going at this pace, you will be able to achieve great results within three months.”
He didn’t just say that, he put his hand on my shoulder.
Huh?
Why the sudden skinship?
Usually, there is a case where you tap her on the shoulder as a gesture to say ‘good job’, but what Trainer Hyeji Lee is doing now is not at the level of a ‘tap tap’.
A little bit of stroking?
You might think that since Trainer Hyeji Lee is the one who creates my body, I can touch it, but…
This feels a bit ambiguous, doesn’t it?
And those eyes.
His eyes are strangely focused on my neck.

If you touch your shoulder and look at it, you will understand..
You said you were looking at my neck the other day too.
I opened trainer Hyeji Lee’s slot window just in case.
[Slot 3]
[Name: Hyeji Lee]
[Age: 27 years old]
[Height: 169.1Cm]
[Weight: 51.8Kg]
[Size: B37 W24 H37]
[Body: Warm bun just before explosion]
[Occupation: Fitness Trainer]
[Personality: hot and irritating]
[Likeability: +39]
..Huh?
Has your favorability rating increased?
I remember that when I first put Trainer Hyeji Lee in the slot, her favorability rating was 37.
But?
Why did it suddenly rise by 2?
Didn’t a notification window pop up when your favorability level went up?
Nothing popped up?
I looked at her with the mind wondering why Trainer Lee Hye-ji’s favorability rating for her had increased, but I guess that somehow made her feel hot.
“Ah! Ah.. Well, uh, I mean, I checked to see if my body was built properly.. That’s it!”
When trainer Hyeji Lee made eye contact with me, she got angry and took her hand off my shoulder.
What did I say?
I was just looking at you to see why my favorability rating had increased.
But at that moment,
[Favorability +39]
…..
[Likeability +….]
…..
[Favorability +40]
…What is it?
The slot window just clicked and the favorability rating went up without any special mention.
It’s a shame I had the slot window open. If I hadn’t been looking, I wouldn’t have seen the phenomenon just now.
I muttered to myself as if I didn’t understand.
“Huh..? “What about this?”
Trainer Lee Hye-ji’s face turns red in an instant.
“Ah! Well, no! The sweat running down my neck is s*xy, or that’s why I saw it…! “No, what am I talking about!”
Puck! Puck!
“Ahh!”
Trainer Hyeji Lee hit my shoulder with a stone-like fist.
It makes no sense not to scream.
Why are women’s fists so spicy?
I took a step back and made an aggrieved expression.
“No, why are you hitting me?”
“You can’t conduct guided interrogation!”
“Yes?”
“Eh?”
There seems to be some misunderstanding.
I think trainer Hyeji Lee interpreted this as a strange intention when I muttered to myself wondering why Slot Chang’s favorability had changed.
Anyway, guided interrogation…
And what about the sweat on my neck??
The moment I was about to open my mouth, trainer Hyeji Lee opened her mouth first.
“Whoa.. I’ll show you what happens if you make fun of a trainer, so come here!”
I don’t want to go.
But I really can’t go.
I quietly pointed at the clock without mentioning what I had just done.
“I have to finish it now.”
“Oh?”
I told him in advance when I came, but he said I would have to leave at 7 o’clock.
Why?
Of course, I have to have a video conference with the local manager of the Mexico branch.
The time difference between Korea and Mexico is about 15 hours.
If I go home now and turn on the video conference, it will be around 7:30?
Then it will be 4:30 PM local time in Mexico.
From what I heard from secretary Kim Chae-yoon, it is said that when the chairman or CEO requests a video conference, Mexico wakes up to receive it regardless of whether it is night or early morning.
I don’t have that much power, and I don’t have the intention to fight from the beginning, so I’m going to try to have a conversation while maintaining the minimum level of courtesy.
Trainer Hyeji Lee, who was staring at me from the side, said with regret.
“Can’t we just wait a little longer and then go?”
Yes. No.
I’d like to see your lovely abs longer, but right now I have to work.
If you don’t take control of the Mexico branch quickly, you won’t be able to slot Deputy Manager Yun-seon Kim into the slot, right?
“I will come again. What.”
“If you don’t come, I will call and harass you!”
A voice that speaks playfully but contains sincerity.
I guess it was really worth the increase in favorability?
But really, why does the same phenomenon as before occur?
Until now, when the favorability rating went up, a notification window appeared and it went up…
Hmm.
There are so many things I don’t know…
It will become clear gradually, right?
I smiled lightly and said to trainer Hyeji Lee.
“I will never come. Then, see you next week.”
I’m going to rest on Sunday.
Because I’m going to have fun today.
But I really have to come.
Because you are my slot.
