Chemistry

1: 00 p.m.

Nervous young men gathered in the hallway in front of the conference room on the third floor.

In preparation for the planned evaluation that would begin in an hour, they were the most knowledgeable new recruits in the lab, comprised of six people elected from the Autumn public bond and one person elected in December.

“Are we there yet? ”

The Director of Forensic Affairs, Human Resources, stood in front of them and handed over the list.

“I'll start with the presentation sequence. Pil-ho Kim?”

“Yes.”

The municipalities began to line up in the order they were called.

I thought you said he was the head of training. ’

Not until the fourth time. Jungwoo realizes that his order is almost behind him. The more I watched and announced everything, the better I felt for myself.

“· · · · · · Cho Sung-hwan, Limited Woo. ”

Then, I made sure that the order was just in the order of ascension for no other reason at all and laughed nonsense. Was it ever so thankful to be born as a castle that starts with "heh"?

“The presentation is limited to 5 minutes, and the Q&A. is also 5 minutes. Now I'm going to give you three minutes to test the mic. I don't usually do pre-rehearsals, but as you know, the warden and the head of the center ”

The former commissioner opened the conference room door, blurring the end of his speech. He seemed nervous as well, who was responsible for training the public debt.

‘Everyone's frozen, so I'm even more shaky. ’

I thought I was ready, but Jungwoo couldn't help but dry his mouth.

You follow the people in front, and you step inside.

The conference room was a college classroom-style space with stepped seating.

All the seats with a semi-circular layer were equipped with microphones and laptops, and the front platform was equipped with a large screen, as well as a white chalkboard using vodka.

“Ah. One, two, three microphone tests. Please welcome your first speaker. ”

Thirty-four of the oldest public bonds, Kim Pil-ho, stood on the platform in the former director's voice.

Jungwoo sat in a chair in the corner and began to watch the rehearsal speech.

‘That's the first time I've heard of other people's assignments. ’

The PT title of Kim Pil was‘ Glass Thermal Coating ’.

Planning and presentation of the liquid insulator applied to the vehicle outside of the apartment or building window resounded within the conference room with a resounding voice.

“Mr. Pil-ho Kim. I like the tone, but I don't have the confidence. Does that make you think the fundamental materials researchers would want to work with you? Get excited.”

“Oh, yes, sir. ”

The former director shakes hands with the next presenter.

After the first practice presentation, Jungwoo tilted his head.

‘This seems like a pretty boring topic. ’

A sudden thought. I shaken my head to see the exhaust rising for the next announcement.

Exhaustion PT was a research project related to solar cells. He appeared to be familiar with the Middle East Team Leader's route and chose a research assignment to discuss improving the efficiency of 'Type N Semiconductors', which constitute solar cells.

‘It's normal here too. ’

Followed by Seo Gyu Mindo, Woo Young-soo. We were just discussing general research tasks in the field of display and green energy.

At least Lee Hye-hyung, the fifth, talked about the task of making a new adhesive out of the adhesive conceived in the mussels, but this was just cluttered by PT.

In Jungwoo's view, their announcement was only meant to convey their enthusiasm to work in the desired department.

- What new research project can the public present in front of flying doctors?

A few days ago, a senior researcher who heard at the ceremony grabbed Jungwoo's head.

“· · · · · · · Limited Woo Seed? ”

Jungwoo awoke from his thoughts on the call of the former commander.

“Yes, I'm coming! ”

“Relax, relax. Mr. Lim Woo has a short preparation period, so they will take it under consideration. ”

I waited for the PT materials that I submitted to the training director to come up on the screen with a faint smile that echoed his worrying voice.

Later, the title "Plastic Stronger than Steel" appeared on the screen.

Jungwoo took his mouth to the microphone.

“I want to develop plastic materials that are cheap and recyclable and up to five times the weight of steel. ”

From that attitude to the sound of the other Jungwoo's cheerful voice, the head of the former manager who was concerned about the acoustics went to the top.

“Plastics have disadvantages of being less robust and heat-resistant than metal. This is due to the absolute majority of the amorphous parts of the plastic. ”

Set assignments, how to proceed, and research ideas and practical applications to achieve goals. Jungwoo's announcement was given as a rehearsal and was finished in less than 3 minutes.

“· · · More than. ”

When I felt like I had just heard one overview of the study through the team leader's mouth at the project launch ceremony, my whole manager looked like something. Jungwoo asked the microphone because he had no instructions.

“Sir, can I go down now that I'm done? ”

The former commander hurriedly nodded his head.

“Uh-huh. Oh, Mr. Jungwoo? ”

“Yes?”

“Did you come in as a scout for an assignment that you just announced at another laboratory? I didn't get Mr. Lim's file from Human Resources. ”

“It's not like that. It's just something I used to be interested in. ”

As Jungwoo sat down, the gaze of the six public servants united toward him. Especially since I just saw similar sights at the city hall seminar.

After every turn, the former commissioner walked in front of the waiting seat.

“Remember your sympathies, I'll be waiting for you in 10 minutes. Rest until then.”

At the end of the rehearsal announcement, the municipalities headed to the restroom, the restroom, for their mental stability. Jungwoo also went to the break room on the second floor because he was thirsty.

“Jungwoo. ”

Exhaust followed me on the way. I bowed my head and got exhausted straight away.

“Rumor has it that Jungwoo's scout proposal came in from Eugene Chemical · · · · · · ·. Is it true?"

“I've heard similar stories that day, but have you heard rumors here? ”

“We all saw the interview on the news. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I looked at him with envy and half complexion in Jungwoo's expressions that didn't seem very impressive.

“Come with me! ”

Cho, who ran right behind me, asked, sticking next to Jungwoo.

“Jungwoo, about the announcement earlier. When did he get ready for that? ”

“A gap.”

“I've been looking into it since my weekly meetings, but it's sensational. I'm surprised at your embarrassed look. How do you study polypropylene while majoring in business? ”

Cho Sung-hwan, who gave close advice to the chief researcher about the end of his life at the institute, now just looked impressed and asked about things like that.

So, Jigsaw Exhaustion Eugene Chemical expressed great interest in the mobile study car and asked what was inside.

They don't know if they've judged the rivals as unreachable, or if they have no boundaries at all.

Jungwoo felt like he had worked hard for the past week, but in just a few minutes he had not worked hard enough.

“I have coffee. What about Jungwoo?”

“I just need water. ”

Upon arriving at the rec room, exhaust and Cho Seong-hwan head toward the vending machine.

Jungwoo walked to the water purifier and grabbed the paper cup.

"Huh?

Then one part of the restroom came into view, and I saw a star star that looked like a spiky star floating in the wind.

‘What is it? It smells like something stinks. ’

Jungwoo slowly turned his head in the direction of the shooting star, and found a woman sitting in the corner of the break room, tucked in a wide straw hat.

As soon as Jungwoo looked at her, she was relaxed and enjoying a cup of tea, she frowned. Jung immediately noticed who she was, even though she was hiding her face, because of the name she proudly stuck in the white robe she was wearing.

Jungwoo, who drank water, walked quietly to her and sat on the other side.

“Smells better than I thought, Bo-young. ”

Song Bo-young glanced the other way as if she hadn't heard it. Jungwoo slowly looks at the stars floating around her.

“Did you strengthen your compost with ammonia? Bacillus fungi? Are you trying to grow this to make sure it's oxygenated? ”

Usually she used to ask questions or say new opinions, but now she was silent. Earlier, he pretended not to, but was ashamed of the smell of his hometown coming out from the microbial laboratory.

“You're not upset, are you? ”

Song Bo-young, who judged that she couldn't hear anymore, shook her head.

“I don't have any more words. Are you okay?”

Jung got a little lucky because he really didn't want to open his mouth.

“That's odd. I thought you were such a bright, kind man who always cares for advice for his successor, but now you see · · · · · · · ·. ”

“What are you looking at now? What?”

Under the Straw Hat, you hear a conditional reflexive response.

“I'm usually the calm, silent type. I don't usually say anything during tea time. ”

“I see. I knew you were this clumsy today. ”

Song Bo-young lifted up her hat and stared intensely at Jungwoo's playful gaze.

Jungwoo watched as the star's footsteps slowly disappeared.

“I don't really smell that bad. Sound familiar · ·"

Song Bo-young banged on the table and prevented Jungwoo from putting it in her mouth. Jungwoo laughed.

“Don't smile. I just haven't antimicrobial yet because I have to go back in later. And I'll stop seeing you today, guys. ”

“If anyone hears this, they'll think they're seeing each other all the time. ”

“Just go, please! Keep making fun of him. ”

“I just heard someone say he's very calm. Was it a hallucination?"

Song Bo-young, who opened her mouth, swelled her cheeks as much as he could, instead of the anger of being overwhelmed. I woke up in Jung's spot wanting to make fun of it.

“I'm really going now. Planning appraisal.”

Jungwoo away from the table. Song Bo-young sighed for a brief moment of relief and said as if she had passed away.

“I heard you were coming in. He's as unpredictable as Dr. Thousand, so you should be careful. ”

This was meaningful advice.

“Jungwoo. You sure you don't want some coffee? What is that smell? ”

Jungwoo rushed as Cho Seong-hwan and the emitter who pulled the canned coffee were about to come.

“Did I tell you how Eugene Chemical works, or did I tell you? ”

“No, I didn't. ”

Jungwoo sat the two of them down as far as possible from Song Young-young, and then spent the rest of the rest of the break.

At 1: 55, people started to gather in the conference room.

“Director Park is here from the Foundation Center. I heard he doesn't see mistakes. ”

“The battery center is, of course, a mobile team leader. I expected that.”

Looking at the senior researchers in charge of human resources assessment at each center, the public bonds who each commented were stumped when they saw a female researcher who had just entered the door.

“Who is this? I've never seen this face before. ”

“Me, too. Was there such a beauty in the lab? ”

Jungwoo, who was looking at his cell phone, reflected on the conversation of the neighboring public bonds. And I found a woman who looked very familiar.

Dr. moon? ’

Sitting in the evaluation seat of the Biomedical Center, she met Jungwoo with a polite, easygoing eye. Her gaze seemed to ask Jungwoo this question.

These people here, are you ready to shut them up with your skills?

‘Hmm.'

I felt a bit relaxed while meeting Song Bo-young in the break room again.

“The warden is coming in. ”

All the researchers inside the voice of the Director of Forensic Studies who were in society stood up.

The door opened, and executives who were showing off their solemnity even pretending to be a man with a half-white head began to walk in.

Warden, center chief, chief researcher.

They were the key figures of the KG Chemistry Institute.

Until they sat in a chair near the center, the atmosphere of the frozen conference room became even heavier for the presenters.

‘Wow, this pressure. ’

Jungwoo also felt his heart tremble.

When they all sat down, the former director on the platform said,

“I'll start with the warden. ”

The whole conference room looked at the man of Ban Baek. The head of the lab, who pressed the microphone button, opened his mouth.

“First, apologize. There's a lot of work to be done in the face of the new recruits responsible for the future of KG chemistry today. I know it's a lot to take in all of a sudden, but please understand that it's just a little breeze from the warden who wants to see you sooner. ”

Your grandhand looks down lightly towards the public bonds.

Jungwoo couldn't help but be surprised by the tone of the warden's voice, just as a kind grandfather said comfortably. It was very friendly compared to the solemn atmosphere of center leaders sitting on the same line.

“Our researchers are Specialists in Chemistry. who are more professional and more capable in one area than others. Please do your best to advance KG chemistry as this Specialist. ”

With the exception of the Korean language of the Complaint pronunciating 'specialist’, it was a smooth greeting without any more.

“Come out first speaker, Pil-ho Kim. ”

Kim Pil-ho climbed to the top with a frightened and trembling face. The light in the seating area darkened and the PT data was shot on the screen.

“Hello, I have prepared glass insulation · · · · · · ·. ”

Announcement lasts about 5 minutes.

After hearing everything, Jungwoo thought that it was not an impressive assignment as he felt during the practice presentation.

“Did you say Kim Pil-ho? ”

The first person to capture the microphone at the time of the Q&A was the chief of the Basic Materials Center, not the Human Resources representative. Kim Pil-ho swallowed his saliva in the face of the Supreme Leader from the beginning.

“You're from the artillery. ”

“That's right.”

“I've been in grad school for a long time. From what I see here, you have some personal experience participating in small projects. ”

“I completed my master's degree with KG Chemistry for research support. Since then, I've been learning as a KG chemist. ”

“It's nice to have an attitude and confidence in the presentation. ”

“Minor presentations are subject to apologies. ”

“No, no. I don't think it's up to the researcher to be good at talking. It's the inside that counts. ”

It seemed like Kim Pil-ho's favorable remarks would brighten his expression.

“But you know what? Did you know that coating studies for insulation, heat shielding, and UV protection are already over? The market is already saturated. ”

“That's · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“I'm not asking. That's just the assignment you chose. I don't even want to ask. Nothing to add or subtract. ”

My face turned dark again.

Zhang Tai Seon looked around at the other center leaders on the side and said,

“I don't know about other centers, but what our foundation center requires from researchers is basic skills and experience. Basics average rating. Experience outweighs peers. At this rate, I'd like you to come to my center. ”

Kim Pil-ho was puzzled by this remark.

‘I heard you. I'm going crazy, that public bond. ’

Jungwoo was also trembling to watch beside him, but I was wondering how nervous I was standing up there.

The microphone was opened by Herscheduler, head of the cell development center.

“Hey, Dr. Jean. No, I like it. Why don't you just say it like that? What are the training evaluators, scarecrows? ”

“I'll give you final approval anyway, but what if I get a head start on talent? ”

“That's when I went to the basics. You can't just barge in on a random planning evaluation. ”

“This assignment is ours. ”

“I'm so happy for you. What do you think, Warden? ”

In response to the question of falsehood, his hands smiled and replied.

“Simplifying HR will increase efficiency. I think this is a great opportunity. And I believe in the wisdom of many doctors. ”

The slave wire, the head of the Center for Materials Science, also turned on the microphone in a relaxed manner.

“If you put it that way, I like that guy. My graduate work was all about materials. We don't have enough hands, so we need an experienced person. ”

When the center leaders kept arguing like that, Kim Pil-ho who was standing on the top of the stage became a face similar to that of 'I didn't come up here to do this’.

“First and foremost, how to recruit new people? Then I'll start with the pot. ”

“What are you talking about? Let's hear the rest of the talk. ”

There was a buzzing sound from all over the conversation between the center heads that followed like a robot. As they started speaking, the trainees didn't even say a word.

What's going on? ’

Jungwoo chewed up the meaning of the words he had thrown.

I've seen it somewhere in this atmosphere.

A TV audition program that takes you onstage to show off your organs and hear the judges' sharp reviews. Now Kim Pil-ho showed something similar, and some of the center heads were looking for talent and expressing interest in it.

‘People at the top of the lab are evaluating it in real time. If you like it, you can decide who to greet. ’

If there is a speaker that attracts the center leaders' interest, the opposite speaker will come out. If you postpone it in the remarks of the Head of the Foundation Material Center, it's not all about the neat presentation.

The first job to be assigned is in their hands.

So this became, unintentionally, a similar structure to the Survival Pro.

In the same way as Jungwoo, the faces of the other public bonds were shimmering.
