I opened the notepad and started checking people’s names. It was a file with a list of people who had seen their reliability so far.
I worked hard on the phone, going down from the person with high trust.
“(Mr. Hawkins. I’m Kim Jae-gu. I’d like to see your face. When do you have time?)”
“Executive Director Yu Han-gyeol. Long time no see. How have you been? I want to see your face sometime soon. When do you have time?”
“It’s me. Jaegu Kim. How are you?”
Those who wanted to make a long call scheduled ahead, and those who wanted to end the call quickly delayed their schedule.
‘This week I can meet people in Korea, and next week I can meet people in America.’
The schedule has been arranged. Now it was time to think about who to use today’s eyes of trust.
‘I’m the most trustworthy person…’
I sat down and thought deeply.
‘Who can I entrust my life to?’
Suddenly, the New York shootings came to mind. I remembered the employee who threw herself into protecting me and my family.
‘ah. He must have returned.’
If it was him, he could trust his family. Today, I thought I should check his reliability.
He was usually escorting his parents. Thanks to the proper measures, he is now as healthy as before.
“(Is your body okay?)”
“(thank you.)”
“(I should be thankful. No matter how many times I thank my parents for protecting them, it’s not enough.)”
“(It’s my job.)”
It was also reliable.
‘Use the eyes of trust.’
[Reliability 89%]
1% fell sharply.
‘It’s higher than I thought?’
There was a bonanza in an unexpected place.
‘I heard it’s dark under the lamp.’
Giving to his subordinates and checking their reliability seemed to be the shortcut to clearing.
‘I’m full of appointments this month, so I’ll give it to you, and I’ll have to check it out next month.’
“(Have you been on winter vacation?)”
“(I plan to visit for two weeks from next week. Thank you for the long vacation.)”
“(I have to take care of what I can take care of.)”
“(Thanks Boss.)”
“(If you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact us.)”
How should I take care of them, so that my subordinates can trust and follow me? It was only 1%, but it wasn’t easy to come up with a way.
I thought about what they would be most anxious about.
‘Family Welfare System.’
I thought they would follow me if I gathered the opinions of the employees and created a welfare system to protect their families.
‘Because the making process is also important.’
It occurred to me that I should meet the bodyguards one by one and ask them what they needed.
When I called Benjamin Chung, he immediately came to the study.
“Boss. Did you call?”
“Yes. I called because I have something to ask of you.”
“Tell me.”
“I’m going to meet and interview the bodyguards one by one. I’d like a schedule.”
“A personal interview?”
Benjamin Chung frowned slightly. It just occurred to me that the story might sound like a knock-out to him.
“I want to hear directly what employees want. I want to ask the company what kind of welfare system it wants to run.”
His expression softened.
“About the vacation system or incentives. If you want, I will collect and report.”
“I want to score points too.”
Benjamin Chung smiled.
“Boss is the most popular than anyone I’ve ever served. Everyone is working hard to renew the contract.”
“Is that so.”
It was a pleasure, but it was not enough to increase reliability. I had to become someone I wanted to protect even at the cost of my life, not just a good boss.
“Then it would be my duty to speak with them.”
“Everyone will be satisfied.
“It’s all right if it’s not this time.”
I handed over the schedule with the appointment times with other people written on it. Because Benjamin Chung had that level of trust.
He gazed at the notebook.
“Can I let you in from tonight?”
The sooner the better.
“yes.”
A special quest condition has been fulfilled
I took turns interviewing the staff. Their expressions noticeably improved just by listening.
‘If there are too many people, they won’t be able to listen, but they are the ones who protect me and my family, so it would be nice to have an opportunity like this once in a while.’
They didn’t ask for anything unreasonable.
It was just that they wished that the amount of compensation to be paid to their families should be raised when they died, and that it would be better if their individual opinions were reflected more when setting up vacation schedules.
‘The amount of compensation will have to be settled through insurance, and the vacation schedule will have to be delivered to the people in charge.’
Rather than adjusting it myself, it was right to adjust it in practice. I gave instructions to hold an event where vacation schedules can be requested in advance.
‘Has the reliability increased a bit now?’
After announcing the welfare system, it was necessary to use the eyes of trust. It will take time to recheck the insurance, so I decided to move according to the schedule I had set.
‘I’m supposed to meet Sung So-hee tomorrow.’
Since he had regained management thanks to my help at the shareholders’ meeting, it was clear that he would show me favor.
‘The level is important though.’
I got greedy that I want it to be over 90%.
***
I met Sung So-hee on the top floor of the Eunseong Hotel she runs. There was a penthouse she was staying in, and when she entered, it was decorated like a luxurious family home.
“The house is very nice.”
“Thank you. Staying here is good because I can respond right away in case of an emergency.”
It wouldn’t have been great if she was an employee, but since she’s the president, there’s no place like this. Since it was the owner’s room, it was clear that the management would always be top notch.
“I was happy that Chairman Kim Jae-gu contacted me first. I was thinking about when I would be able to repay you if there was no contact.”
“It’s a reward.”
“You helped me recapture the management right from my brother. He also broke the corruption with good timing.”
It was not me who disclosed the corruption, but it was true that I instigated it. So instead of answering with a coy smile.
“Thanks to that, the process was easier. It was an atmosphere that welcomed a new owner rather than an owner with ethical problems. As you know, there is a lot of noise when you seize management rights too narrowly.”
I do not know.
Still, he smiled with a relaxed expression.
“You said you could support Congressman Seol Kyung-taek, but you didn’t tell me how to help in detail. What should I do?”
“Nothing has been decided yet.”
Maybe it won’t be needed in this presidential election. It was because the difference in approval ratings between Ryu Gwang-heon and Seol Gyeong-taek was quite wide.
When Ryu Gwang-heon attacks to make a dent in him, it only backfires.
‘I think I’ll just win.’
Lawmakers who had long political careers were attacked one by one, and some of them were so tattered that they could not recover after this term.
But it had nothing to do with me. As the battle continued, the situation turned in Seol Kyung-taek’s favor.
Unless a big problem broke out, his election was a matter of course.
“In the current situation, candidate Seol Gyeong-taek’s election is strong. So, I don’t think helping him is reciprocating Chairman Kim Jae-gu’s help.”
“Is that so.”
“When you need help someday, we’ll help you in a different way.”
Sung So-hee’s intense gaze was directed at me. I felt the will to pay off the debt somehow.
“I can’t help it if you say so.”
“Do you have any requests?”
“Not now.”
“Then, I hope that today will be a parents’ meeting and have a comfortable meal.”
When she rang the bell, many dishes were set on the table. There was a variety of menus from steak to lobster.
“I didn’t know what you would like, so I prepared a variety of them.”
“Thank you.”
Sung So-hee smiled softly.
“I hear that Ha-yeon is pretty good at studying.”
“It’s overrated.”
Ha-yeon said that all the children in her class were good at studying, so it was hard to keep up. So, I did my best to learn what the tutor told me, but it was natural that I was pushed behind compared to the children who had studied in advance.
‘Does it really have to be studied like that?’
Rather than forcing her to study, I wanted to support Ha-yeon in what she wanted to do. Since she has enough money, I hope Ha-yeon can achieve self-realization.
“I heard that Joo-hyeok takes care of me a lot, and thanks to that, I think I’m doing well in school.”
“Nothing to say. I’m worried because my child is already greedy for politics.”
Sung So-hee sighed.
I remembered the story Joo-hyeok Sung had presented on the first day. It was a statement more like a politician than a businessman.
To think that a first grader would introduce himself like that as soon as he entered elementary school.
‘I heard that a tree with a strong growth potential is different from the cotyledon. Do I need to line it up?’
Of course, I didn’t mean it seriously.
“Does the food suit your taste?”
“Delicious.”
There was no way the food in a 5-star hotel would not be delicious. It was to the point where I thought about going out to dinner with my family later.
“thank god.”
“Chairman Sohee Sung, please feel free to tell me if you have anything to ask of me. Aren’t you a parent in the same class?”
She closed her eyes and covered her mouth.
“I’ve already taken care of it, but can’t I take care of it again? Thank you for your words.”
If you’re grateful, can’t you set the trust level to 90%?
From nob le mt l dot com
Judging from the case of a single person, helping to recapture a company seemed to have a huge impact on reliability.
It was natural to hand over the throne.
It was time to check the reliability of friendly conversations.
‘Use the eyes of trust.’
[Reliability 90%]
As expected, the comment from before seemed to have moved her heart.
‘If I had measured it before speaking, I would have failed.’
[Remaining until special reward: 2 people]
There are now two left.
“Chairman Kim Jae-gu doesn’t often come to parent meetings.”
“I don’t know what to say when I go to a place where there are a lot of women.”
The members of the parents’ group were all women except for me. I attended once, but I stopped attending the second time because I was distracted by the flood of chatter.
Sung So-hee smiled softly.
“If something important comes up at the parent meeting, I’ll let you know.”
“Chairman Sung So-hee, do you often go to meetings?”
“I try to go out as much as possible. Mother’s help plays a big role in children’s friendship.”
“Is that so?”
“This time, there was a talk about tutoring as a group.”
When I heard about Ha-yeon’s education, my ears were opened.
‘Is this the story of the pig mother meeting that I’ve only heard about?’
Sung So-hee started pouring out information about a famous private tutor. I was blown away by the latest updated information.
As I listened to her story, I felt anxious that I might be left behind among the children if I didn’t give her tutoring.
“If Chairman Kim Jae-gu wants it, I’ll try to make one.”
It was a tempting suggestion.
“I need to talk to Hayeon.”
“He’s a good father.”
I hope Ha-yeon remembers him as a good father.
***
When asked if she would like to take tutoring with her friends, Ha-yeon nodded after hearing the names of the members.
“great.”
“What are you going to do when your time overlaps with the piano academy?”
“Umm… can we go after it’s over?”
“How could it not be?”
“Dad. Please lend me your cell phone.”
Ha-yeon held out her hands and waited for her cell phone.
‘Should I buy a smartphone soon?’
I was trying to buy it as late as possible after hearing that if I got a smartphone too early, I would only use my phone all day.
However, it was clear that the busier the child’s schedule, the harder it would be to keep in touch.
‘Isn’t it abuse to not buy smartphones for kids these days?’
Children of Ha-yeon’s age were digital natives. Children have been exposed to the environment of using smartphones since they were born.
