Chemistry

In the conference room of the KG Chemistry West, there was a quarterly business performance meeting.

“Due to increased premium research share and successful global collaborative research, revenue is approximately · · year over year”

As Youngho Jeon passed the beam projector screen to the Finance team, the mouths of the executives and the heads of the department snapped open.

Sales: 5.874 trillion won (13% increase compared to the previous year)

Operating income: 757.7 billion won (63.5% increase compared to the previous year)

Net Income: 638.1 billion won (93.3% increase compared to the previous year)

“· · · 13% increase. Operating earnings and net income ratio is 63% and 93%, respectively, the largest quarterly performance. ”

In the latter fifties, a man sitting in the center of the meeting, Chairman Cha Bon-jun looked surprised and turned his eyes to the next chairman.

“Mr. Park. ”

“Yes, boss. ”

“Which company's projected performance report for the beginning of the year, with only a lot of noise about low season slowness and low demand for small cell products? ”

“That · · · crab. ”

“Thanks to that report, shareholders are going to love this foolish management strategy, because I've given them defensive guidance on how to reduce their R&D investment. ”

“Ms., Ms. · · · · · · · ·. ”

Cha Bon-jun's question made me sweat on the thick scalp of Park Ho-jin.

20 years in the company, one year executive director of the Strategic Planning Department.

Park has been widely regarded as being perfectly flat and breaking as much as the work done, but there were not a dozen mouths to say where the quarterly forecast went wrong.

The announcement of the former manager continued.

“With respect to performance advocates, the rate of return for new and external dispatch projects at the central laboratory is very large. Please check the individual revenue data in the report and we will report on your performance up to rank 2. ”

After analyzing the cause, Park Ho-jin turned on the lights and focused on his eyes.

“Natural spice projects in the field of basic materials are the most rewarding to complete all tasks at 5% of the total research cost. The Air Cleaning Project in Materials Science is negotiating contracts with numerous companies currently residing in Beijing and Shanghai. ”

The chief of the Central Laboratory, named alongside Castles 1 and 2, Zhang Tai Seon and the slave ship became proud of themselves and immediately posed. Usually this much performance resulted in compliments from the boss.

“Dr. Noh. The greatest performance ever. On this austere day, our foundation ate the top title. ”

“What's the big deal about having a simple list of returns? Keep in mind that the net profit is being placed in the majesty of material science, which is overwhelming in all of KG chemistry, Dr. Jean. ”

The other three centre leaders, who were only a relatively low percentage of performance rankings, sighed for a short sigh at the two conspicuous conversations.

Cha Bon-jun carefully looked at the screen and pressed the microphone button.

“Dr. Jean, Dr. Noh. ”

Zhang Tai Seon and the slave ship were looking forward to the compliment that would follow and focused on Cha Bon Joon.

“I remember the New Year's Eve. You both put in your report here, and when I set the operating instructions, you gave me very decisive advice. The exact words would be like this. There are many early projects this year, and it's off-season, so it's not right to say anything about your performance. Let's risk a slight decline in stock prices for the second half. ”

Park Ho-jin, who had a dark complexion earlier, bowed his head and became a hot face.

Cha Bon-jun said.

“I have a question. If you were prepared to do this and were humble, how would you resolve the distrust of deliberately dropping your share price and trying to get the difference? I'm looking for advice as a buyer of a certain amount to defend against a falling stock price. What do I do when I hit the back of an investor? ”

The atmosphere of the meeting chairman froze in an instant. Zhang Tai Lin urgently opened his mouth.

“You're mistaken, misunderstood. I had no idea that collaborative research with Audrey would work this well. ”

The slave ships also began making excuses for Jigsaw.

“So am I. The Dust Project was a year later, and we didn't expect to make this much in the first quarter. ”

Cha Bon-jun opened his mouth after a short silence.

“That's the way it is when you run a company. I want to make a small contribution, hopefully. But the creed of the KG group is transparent. It's hard when it's hard, hard when it's hard. We have gained the trust of investors because we have found it as it is, and we have run it unshakeably. Keep this in mind for everyone below you, and make sure you don't make any mistakes again. ”

After the performance announcement in a cool atmosphere, Cha Bon-jun asked as if it were passing by.

“So, what do you think the second quarter's business outlook will be? ”

After the meeting, the CEO left.

Park Ho-jin sat around with five central institute center heads and started the counterconference with a serious face.

“What the hell? I don't see centurions a day or two. If you can't figure out how to get back to the lab in Strategic Planning, how to strategize for your business. ”

“Mr. Park. I'm not saying this, but I really didn't expect the overall performance to be this good. ”

After Zhang Tai Seon answered nicely, he showed his eyes to the slaver seeking his consent.

Park Ho-jin took a big sigh.

“What's past is past. We need to strategize and report to Q2 within the week. Make the right comment. First of all, this report. ”

Park Ho-jin, who had been scanning the detailed reports on his individual laptops throughout the meeting, had one notable name.

“Does Jungyeon have a freelance researcher this year? How did all projects with a high net profit ratio involve this employee as a core researcher? KG Life Health and KG Industries project. Here's what I don't understand the most. ”

Park Ho-jin gave a financial statement.

“Why is our net profit accounted for by 38% of total care revenues from competitors Eugene Chemical? If we want to spread a huge press release to solve a Q1 performance misunderstanding, we have to make sense of it to supplement it. ”

The slave ship tilted its head to this question.

“Mr. Park, don't you know about Lim Woo? ”

“Yes?”

“Well, you didn't know. The affiliates have already heard the rumors. This is a special friend who came in at the end of last year, a very old country. ”

As soon as the name of Lim Wu was mentioned, he smiled with a full face.

“It's strange that our Jungwoo went to Alaska because of Yoon Jae-gil's crazy condition. A midlife treasure that exceeds the touching clan's expectations is also a result of greed for shine. ”

Park Ho-jin became a face that he didn't understand, and asked Chong Tae-sun.

“So it's because you have limited performance? You've done more than just surpass the company's management strategy by yourself? For three months? ”

“You may not believe it, but it is. ”

The center leaders all looked at Park Ho-jin with an expression of agreement with this question.

After consolidating objective indicators and testimonials from center leaders, Park Ho-jin reached the conclusion that he would never be able to establish the next quarter's management strategy except for Lim Wu.

The huge impact of one researcher on KG chemistry. There was a really ridiculous variable that I hadn't considered at all.

Park Ho-jin immediately opened his laptop and looked at the HR data. Park Ho-jin, who had read the limited right data, had to doubt the snow.

“Five months since you joined the internship contract? ”

He seemed like a talented person who had been sent from heaven to help KG chemistry.

Zhang Tai Sun added an explanation to the frightening Park Ho-jin.

“I may be a parachute, but I'm also a disciple of Dr. Heaven. ”

“Are you referring to the chief researcher who, in heaven, is a research institute tower, but doesn't even care about management? ”

“That's right. What's amazing about Jungwoo is that he has a great personality with a level of skill other than Dr. Heaven. ”

The more he listened, the more new facts were revealed and he had to swallow. Later, I was crazy about the current state of Lim Wu, a general researcher rank.

“I'm doing more than the chief researcher, and that's all I'm doing. If you get scouted by another company like this, not just the board, but the shareholders. ”

“I'm worried about that. I want to keep it down even if I am the director of the Basic Material Kick Center, but if Yoon Jae-gil was hungry for dough, he would have reported damages. ”

“What do you think of General Grandson? ”

While everyone could not answer, the servant line shook its head and said.

“I don't know, because you won't tell me. He just said that researcher Jungwoo is a disciple of Dr. Thousand and will have a great love for KG chemistry. ”

“Is that so?"

Park Ho-jin got into a new problem. We need assurance that Eugene Chemical will not leave KG Chemistry to develop a proper management strategy.

“People's minds move in front of position and money. It's weird not to treat these great talent properly, but you can't give a HR order to someone who doesn't have a Ph.D. ”

“Mr. Park. May I make a small comment about your position? ”

Zhang Tai Seon grinned, and said in a low voice, "Who will listen?"

“Do you know what the title was when Dr. Heaven first recruited KG chemistry? Our Jungwoo. ”

* * *

I forcefully opened my eyes to the sound of the alarm. I've been lying at home for three days with tonsils of body fluids. After returning from Alaska, the tension that had been pulled tightly has increased, and fatigue that had been accumulating for a month has come to me all at once.

However, with the exception of the neck that stings every time I swallowed a saliva, he went to a lot of grim things.

As I sat in the room and woke up, the door opened wide.

“Bro, wake up! ”

I asked him to wake me up if he couldn't get up, so he suddenly pushed me like a bandit in the morning.

“Oh, my God. I'm wide awake. Do you still like Soo-jin? ”

“Oh, my God. You look like crap these days. ”

“Let's just pick up the belly and talk. ”

Even when I was sick, the struggle with my brother was the same as before.

Jungwoo got up from his seat with his butt turned on. When I came downstairs, I couldn't see my mother. Jungwoo and I met at a dinner while cooking in the kitchen.

“Mom went to the market at dawn. I'm going to eat. What about you? ”

“I'm good. ”

Since my appetite was not up, I went into the bathroom to wash my breakfast with a glass of juice and stood in front of the mirror with a toothbrush.

"Ugh, you look sick. ’

Compared to before he went to Alaska, he lost nearly 5 kg, and his face looked quite pitiful in the mirror. After shaving my beard, I was in a condition that was acceptable, but I felt sorry for him.

I deliberately smiled at him for making him look neurotic even if he frowned a little.

‘Cheer up. I'm busy today.’

Don't worry. Let's move. The first day I came after I decided to come.

My body was tens of thousands of muscles, but my mind was light.

It was a clear spring outside.

Jungwoo walked out of the crowd rushing towards the station's exit, unable to take his eyes off the KG Chemical twin building for a long time.

It made me feel like I had moved away from a wild society and returned to a human society. The phone in my pocket vibrates as I whistle. It was a text from Human Resources.

Why do you want me to come here? ’

Monthly, I took a sick day off, so I didn't hear which center I was being sent to.

Jungwoo entered the headquarters building and went directly to the elevator.

As I got down from the 25th floor, I noticed a familiar view of the hallway. Dr. Heaven's private laboratory, which has been frequently visited, was nearby.

Room 11 at the end of corridor C is here. ’

I arrived in front of an opaque glass door and placed my access card.

Beevik.

The interior was a small, private laboratory. An office space with two desks and a smaller clean room. It wasn't used by executive researchers, but at least it looked like a researcher's home to be a team leader.

Is that why you're here on Wednesday? ’

There were no guest chairs in the office space, so I spent time exploring all the experimental tools available for cleaning the livery chairs inside the clean room.

About 20 minutes later, I heard the door open outside.

‘The owner must be here. ’

After opening the door to the Clean Room, Jungwoo leans in reflexively.

“Nice to meet you · · · huh? Bo-young?”

Two big, unbridled eyes turned toward Jungwoo. Song Bo-young, who was standing in the hallway holding a box in both hands, looked at Jung Woo for a while.

“I thought you were coming in? ”

Song Bo-young, who was sober by Jungwoo's words, came inside.

“Why is Jungwoo here? ”

“Human Resources told me to stay here. ”

“That's weird. Why? ”

“What about you?”

Song Bo-young, who placed the box on the small desk in the office space, replied.

“I went back to my usual job after the Seungju Project ended. I'm helping you learn to work together. ”

Song Bo-young pointed to the large desk with her head.

Jungwoo also turned his head to the large desk, following her gaze. It had only basic office tools, but it was a desk without a name tag.

“Who is that? ”

“I don't know, I just got off the phone with HR this morning. I think Jungwoo and I came together because we're from the first study room. I didn't know you all those years ago. ”

Song Bo-young, who was saying this, was surprised to see Jungwoo's face closely.

“I heard you've been through a lot, but you're real. ”

Song Bo-young, who couldn't take her eyes off the stretched cheeks, asked me about the stretched cheeks.

“Everything okay? ”

· · · Half face. ”

“No. Your face is still the same, and your eyelids are 1.5 times thicker. ”

Song Bo-young inflated the ball because of Jungwoo's teasing.

“You said it was peaceful for a month. You're still on assignment or you're sitting by your nose, junior. ”

“Yep.”

The liver in the clean room came with a chair and asked her, recalling the cleaning that she was sitting at next to Song Bo-young's desk.

“Bo-young. that Dr. Heaven used to write. Do you have all that? ”

“Why?”

“I just wanted to read it. ”

When I thought about my personal research during my struggle, the directionality of the project to remain a great chemist next year, I could draw a blueprint more easily based on the past events of the kingdom of heaven.

Despite knowing the complex molecular structure of the pluripotent factor, it was only one completed architecture, and he needed a first blueprint that would be the foundation of a single amino acid level.

Song Bo-young folded her arms and turned her head.

“You can't give it away for free, rival. ”

“Wow, you're doing this? I haven't even eaten the beef yet. I helped you sell a thousand boxes of women's necessities. ”

“That's · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“I thought you were the one who closed your mouth like this. ”

It was the moment when Song Bo-young, who had nothing to say, said that she would bring it tomorrow.

Knock, knock.

“Excuse me, I represent the HR Faction only. Mr. Jungwoo, are you here? ”

Outside, I heard a knock on the door, and Song Woo and Bo-young's head turned around.

Jungwoo walked to the entrance and pressed the button to open the door.

“Mr. Jungwoo? ”

“Oh, yes. ”

“Take this and wait for Director Park Ho-jin from Strategic Planning at 10 o'clock. ”

Jungwoo looked at the table nameplate that only the faction had given him. ’I had a look on my face.

“Are the research assistants here? Name · · · Song Bo-young. ”

“Yes?”

Song Bo-young woke up at her desk.

“If you come, please do well. ”

“Sir? This place? ”

The HR staff with the surprising news disappeared, and Song Bo-young approached Jungwoo who was still at the door.

“You're not the owner of this room. Strategic Planning is the main division. Why are you standing there? Sir, you should prepare beverages and stuff beforehand. I'm going to be dispatched in a few days, but my youngest Mr. Jungwoo. ”

“Hey, sunbae. Do you have a position like this in the lab? ”

Jungwoo showed Song Bo-young the title and name on the table nameplate in his hand.

[Special Investigator Only]

Song Bo-young's eyes widened when she saw it. She realizes who the owner of that big desk is, and she looks unbelievable.

“Excuse me! Delivery. ”

Someone approaches you in front of the open door. The target's head bows and disappears, placing a large arrow next to it.

In the flower [Let's come again with some basic materials as a special researcher for our Jungwoo!].
