A horse running in the plains cannot stop easily.
YongHo was inwardly expecting a rise in salary.
He had expectations on how much his annual salary was when he became a team leader that Jeong DanBi promised. It will definitely be higher than it is now.
‘How much should I be thinking about? It must be lower than head researcher Son’s, how high should I call?’
Like that, he was agonized about a rather high-class problem. He had moved houses, and his ability was improving day by day.
It was too good that sometimes, he wondered if he should be happy this much.
When he checked his e-mail, there was a reply from Dave. Perhaps due to the contents being in English, it was in spam mail. Due to being busy, he hadn’t even had the time to check his e-mail, and now one week had passed.
‘120 thousand dollars!’
The first thing that came into his eyes was the number. It was more than 120 million Korean won. It was a sum that was multiples of his current salary.
YongHo requested Dave to look into how much salary he would receive annually if he went there. And the reply was here.
120 thousand dollars.
YongHo’s worries became deeper.
And he decided.
***
100 billion.
The sales from the OH System.
The moment that number appeared on the intra-company sales management system, a get-together was decided.
“Everybody, thank you for your work!”
Jeong DanBi was delighted as if she couldn’t be any more delighted. A higher tone than always and the exaggerated actions that showed the excited atmosphere was showing that.
“Now! Everybody, one shot!”
While continuously shouting ‘one shot!’, YongHo emptied the liquor he had never heard of into his mouth. According to what he heard from Na DaeBang, it was a drink that was hard to find in ordinary supermarkets.
‘Mr. Na DaeBang is something too, knowing all that.’
And such questions were soon erased from YongHo’s mind. Jeong DanBi approached YongHo with a glass in her hand.
“Well, then, please receive a glass from me, our hardworking Mr. YongHo.”
Jeong DanBi poured a glass to every one of the team members as if she had become an old man.
YongHo also received the glass and emptied it in his mouth. A hot feeling came up inside his throat in less than 1 second.
“Thank you so much.”
Fssh.
A different thick smell of pheromones assaulted YongHo along with the smell of alcohol.
1st was Korean beef and liquor.
2nd was karaoke.
The karaoke in Cheongdam boasted its splendor from the entrance. It was as if saying ‘what is a trash like you doing here?’ to YongHo, and he couldn’t step inside easily.
The fancy karaoke.
And under the flashy spinning lighting inside, Jeong DanBi was shining.
Jeong DanBi took the glass in her hands and tapped the table hard.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The noisy atmosphere calmed down instantly. Everybody was worried that they might do something crazy now they were drunk.
“Well then! There will be an important announcement!”
At Jeong DanBis words, the person who was singing also put down the microphone and paid attention to Jeong DanBi.
The song coming out from the karaoke machine was also stopped by someone.
“We have achieved 100 billion won!”
Clap.
Clap clap clap.
-Get On A Rocketship Whenever You Get The Chance.
Jeong DanBi was trying to create a rocketship.
***
It was not easy to persuade his parents than he thought.
Only son.
His old parents didn’t allow their only son going to America that easily. Even if he wanted to bring them along, his parents, who had no acquaintances in America, living there was near impossible. In the end, they had to separate.
“I will definitely come back after succeeding. It won’t take that long.”
He was already acting as the head of household. His parents had no choice but to allow, albeit with difficulty, due to YongHo having a good ability to the point that he paid the debts they had, and even prepared a good house inside the city.
Son SeokHo’s reaction was similar to what YongHo was expecting.
“A place where it seems more interesting – Go to a place where it may help you more, Mr. YongHo.”
Go in a direction that you think may help.
I will prepare a place for you to come back anytime. If YongHo’s parents were the people who gave birth to him, it was Son SeokHo who made YongHo reborn in society.
And now as well, he was tapping YongHo’s shoulders like his parents, saying that he believed in him and that he could come back if he was tired whenever he wanted to.
An appreciation that could not be expressed in words.
Now, it was time to meet the last person, Jeong DanBi.
Jeong DanBi being serious was rare. She was looking at YongHo without saying anything. The stiff face seemed like she would never allow it.
“No.”
At the news of YongHo leaving the company, the office was also experiencing chaos.
Especially, Na DaeBang’s reaction was very fierce.
“S, seonbae!”
“I heard you were all lovey-dovey with HyeJin nowadays, eh?”
At YongHo’s words, Na DaeBang, who was about to run into him, stopped. After YongHo introduced them to each other, they seemed to have taken a liking to each other as they were dating despite the harsh schedule.
“Aren’t you? Bangbangy?” (T/N: Those who think it’s lewd… it’s not at all lewd in Korean)
This was the nickname that Choi HyeJin called Na DaeBang. The ‘Bang’ from the last syllable of Na DaeBang – ‘Bangbangy’. At the two’s such figures, YongHo could only be envious.
At YongHo’s words, Na DaeBang tried his best to hide his panic and spoke.
“A, anyway, how could you do this!? I even switched departments for you, and now you’re going to America?”
“Then why don’t you come to America too, Mr. DaeBang? We’ll work with James you know?”
“S, sir James? Do you think I can’t go? Please wait a little.”
At his ignited eyes, YongHo had a slightly bad premonition, but he erased it.
And now, only Son SeokHo was left.
“I will contact you.”
“Yes, thank you for your work until now. Come back anytime.”
“Thank you.”
The two’s handshake was filled with strength.
They were reassured.
That he had this kind of person as his superior.
That he had this kind of person as his junior.
The two were reassured of each other.
