Chemistry

“There's nothing wrong with the contract? ”

Jungwoo, who was lying in a laboratory within the AN Hospital Pharmacy Support Center, opened his eyes to Dr. Moon's simple answer.

“The party quit. ”

“As you can see, Dr. Chun's resignation has nothing to do with Jungwoo's research activities. Dr. Chun is only a clinical trial associate involved in the AF series, and the progress of the project and its benefits are in accordance with the internal regulations of KG Chemistry, the hiring party. ”

“Is there such a complicated provision? ”

Dr. Moon, with a pen light in her eyes, said as she examined the pupils.

“You haven't checked the terms and conditions in over nine months. ”

I quickly responded to her point of stabbing calmly.

“That's right. There was a clause, wasn't there? I understand.”

“Article 11 · · ·”

“Yes, 11 trillion. That's all you need to do and achieve as per the terms and conditions. Well, that's just it. ”

I grabbed my memory and tried to fix it, but I came back with a cool look.

“Article 11 is about side effects. The project involves an addendum, a business policy. ”

“Huh. What was that? ”

“I completely got rid of the eye cramps caused by insomnia. Pupils are normal when you're embarrassed. ”

Meanwhile, Dr. Moon, who completed the status check, turns off the pen light and retreats. Dr. Door, who had an electrocardiogram sensor attached to his chest and wrist, turned on the device and asked.

“Did you know that disruption due to unfamiliar terms and conditions is a claim for damages? ”

“Is there such a thing? ”

Dr. Moon, who was paying close attention to the monitor's heart rate, replied.

“Nothing. The E.K.G. waves are normal in times of panic. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Dr. Moon's consistent work examination was conducted in a chilly atmosphere today.

Jungwoo gives you a few jokes, then shakes his head as if he can't stand it. At approximately 3.5 months from the end of the contract, I suddenly wondered if a day would come when I could hear a very private statement from her.

After a thorough body check over the course of 30 minutes, Jung got up from bed and asked.

“Does Dr. Moon laugh at comedy movies? ”

“I've never seen it. It's not a hobby. ”

“Really? You don't even watch TV? Maybe drama, maybe talent."

I felt like I was remembering something for a moment at the edge of Doctor Moon's Eye, pushing the inspection instruments on one side.

“I've been in the arts. ”

“Choo, starring? ”

It was a gasp. Jung asked for more, but in that short period of time, Dr. Moon recovered her coolness and returned to her usual state.

“The cure that Jungwoo is making because he wants to kiss. Please postpone the actual clinic after the end of the contract. I don't know what's gonna happen. ”

“I can't even apply the ingredients right now because they're all flying away. And it's not a cure for kissing. ”

I coughed freely at Doctor Moon's gaze.

“It's a concomitant medicine. I think if I go to my BG series about 12 times, I might be able to make an effective drug. ”

“I beg your pardon. ”

When I finish trimming the clothesline between the prosecutors, I turn my head.

“Dr. Shen, are you well? ”

“He's out there somewhere in the world in one piece. As usual.”

It's late. It's early autumn. It was only a few months ago, but it was a distance between the seasons that felt so far away. I've been dragged to a bomb factory, I've been to CIA offices, I've been to a bunker full of hostages. In retrospect, it's like a dream.

“I've been offered a position as chief researcher. Dr. Shin Yun-seok asked me to fill the vacancy for Dr. Heaven. ”

At this point, Dr. Moon's surprised eyes turned towards Jungwoo.

“But by the end of December, it'll all be over according to the terms and conditions? Nothing after that is scheduled. ”

“I don't know anything about Dr. Thousand's duties. ”

“Got it.”

Jungwoo stood at the door and said with a serious look.

“If you get stuck researching AF series samples, ask them. It's boring to read a volume of books, but it's fun to analyze dozens of them. ”

“It is subject to the terms and conditions · ·”

“Off the record, off the record. I don't know why I keep returning weekends and studying so hard, but I have to use colleagues like me. Director Jang's been calling since yesterday. I'm in the best shape right now. I feel like my AF medication is rising. ”

“That's enough.”

“Oh, I forgot to mention I'm a brilliant chemist who won the Civic Prize. Next check is October, right? ”

Dr. Moon's gaze stayed on the spot where Jungwoo waved his hands. It was cold, but not frozen enough, with moderate warmth.

* * *

Monday morning, early September.

Jungwoo opens the gate and flinches. There was a large generation of people waiting in front of the road who couldn't get used to it.

A man in his late forties, with a clear head, approached Jungwoo as if he was waiting.

“You're out.”

“Knight Choi. You don't have to come to work. ”

“If you tell me not to work, I want to eat. ”

The knight in shining armor opens the back door of the sedan.

Hiccup.

“Hey, I'm late for class 0, so I need a taxi. ”

The dinner that followed saw Jungwoo sitting in a car with a very long body, and opened his mouth.

“He talked to Su-jin late. Get in.”

“What's the second? ”

“Keep your mouth shut because it's a company car. Knight Choi, please go first. ”

The eyes of the dinner sitting next to Jungwoo grew larger.

“Brother, this is bigger than my room. ”

“Don't overreact. ”

Beevik.

- I don't really know my taste, so I put drinks in different kinds.

“Yes?”

The Knight Choi points under Jungwoo's feet. Jungwoo looks up at the mini-fridge and throws a glance at the dinner. Though I still had pride, I couldn't treat him like my brother, so I took out the drink with a gentle expression.

“Here, carbonate. ”

“This chair is so fluffy. Awesome, Secondary. Does your company just give new hires this kind of car? Is it Benton's birthday?”

“It's classy, and you're like a man."

Jungwoo looked at Choi's article and realized again that he couldn't hear the intercom or voice.

“You did a good job and you gave it to me. ”

“Oh, C. It's all over your news. It's just been weird lately. ”

“Why is there a C on it? Say something nice. Don't tell me, I have to get to work. Just study. ”

When I took my laptop out and put it on the rack, the dinner stopped talking. However, I did not study at all while looking at the car while taking a selfie all the way to the school.

Beevik.

- Almost there.

“Thank you!”

The supper on his shoulders stares at Jungwoo, a single blonde bag.

“I feel like I'm some rich kid. Dude, I'm just gonna stick a picture out there. May I?”

“Aren't you late? ”

“What time is it? ”

“I don't know about that, but the principal is making the late people fall to their knees. ”

After confirming that it was at 8: 00, the dinner opens and disappears into the gate like a gunshot.

“Damn. I didn't think you'd like it so much. ”

When I heard that I had been assigned a car on Saturday, I was confident, but seeing the dinner reaction, Jungwoo was also proud. Then I looked at the data floating on my laptop.

‘It's not like this. ’

The basics to be familiar with to enter the executive meeting at 10 o'clock right now were unimaginable.

Key initiatives for each center head, large research projects for each individual head of the center, as well as business plans for our Strategic Planning Office and sales executives.

Shin Yoon-suk who gave me this data was not important, so I told him to look slowly, but I had to take what I could as much as I could as it was the first step as I was the chief researcher.

Until I stopped in the company's underground parking lot and got on the executive elevator, all I could think about was Jungwoo's knowledge of the work.

Ding-dong.

On the second floor, the elevator door opens.

“Jungwoo! Congratulations on your promotion! ”

I could feel the voice of a friendly shout, and Chong Tae-sun went up with a bright smile on his face.

“What floor are you going to? ”

“Your floor. ”

Jungwoo, who was going to press the button, stopped.

“You didn't just wait in front of the elevator until I got here, did you? ”

“Hey, Jungwoo. I'm the head of the center. I have pride. ”

He lowered his posture like when the door closed.

“I asked the underground parking garage security. Haha!”

Jung Woo shakes his head to Zhang Tai Seon, who tapped his shoulder with a cheerful smile.

“I'm busy.”

“I haven't even said it yet. ”

“I hear you're in the high-functioning plastic business. There's a rubber industry fair scheduled for the 20th of next month. ”

“You knew. It's perfect for you to be first in command. The Chinese market is the backbone of super-engineering plastic. You know the Incraon in 3D printing? Buyers spit a lot. ”

Jungwoo listened with one ear and waited for him to get to the 25th floor.

“Jungwoo. Jungwoo? Who am I talking to? ”

“Let me know when you're done with my project, and let me know if you have any senior researcher activity tips. ”

“Should I?”

Zhang Tai Sun told me quite detailed about the authority of the lead researcher and what he was doing until he arrived at his private laboratory on the 25th floor.

First of all, unlike other companies, KG Chemistry holds the title of President because of its significant power in the laboratory. Consequently, the Center Head and Principal Investigator shall be treated as Vice President, Director and Managing Director, depending on the year or performance.

“I'm the VP of this meeting. The director of the terminal lab, the one you studied last month, is barely my equal. Isn't it cool?"

“Yes. What about human rights? ”

There are no restrictions on the work that we do, along with the right to randomly move or elect three of the team leaders participating in the project as the rank rises.

In this area, Jungwoo could understand why the kingdom of heaven was involved, but there were so many studies.

“Jungwoo, this is important. Senior doesn't push projects through the Team Leader's mind. I draw a sketch, and I throw it to people who can paint it well. ”

“You need a business mindset to build your foundation. ”

“Don't worry. I'm going to be very supportive. Jungwoo, you're my line. ”

“Oh, I'm so relieved. ”

Zhang Tai Seon said, "Ahem."

“I'm all over the lab. See you at the meeting. Thank you so much for the advice. ”

Jungwoo opened the door of his personal laboratory and manually pressed the close button as soon as he entered. If you want to prepare quietly for the remaining hour, it is better without Zhang Zhen Zhen.

Bang, bang.

- Jungwoo, there's more honey tips!

I looked at the wide view of the newly assigned laboratory while keeping Zhang Tai Sun's voice behind me. I didn't feel much like it was new because I only changed the nameplate of the private laboratory used by Dr. Heaven.

However, it felt as strange as the name tag on the wood desk in the office space, [Lim Woo Senior Researcher].

Nine months before my first day on the job, I never expected this to happen.

Jiaying.

Text came while setting the laptop on a wide desk.

[Senior researcher, how's your meeting going?]

It was a text from Song Young-young returning to study room 1 after finishing her work aids.

[Sunbae, are you sure you don't want to apply for a research assistant?]

[That's only a liability. You are not in charge, and you will not get two free promotions.]

I thought the mission of Doctor of Heaven had changed my mind, but my commitment to the rivals still seemed to have risen.

[Good luck. Give my regards to Seung Ju.]

After sending the text, I leaned over to the chairs to feel the comfort of cleaning. Five seconds to go.

“Shall we work? ”

Immediately, I pulled the chair close to my desk.

Inside KG Chemistry West East Conference Room.

Jungwoo came 20 minutes early and sat down. I left the printed document on the left and put my hand on the meeting laptop in front of me.

I went into the network and downloaded the data that Dr. Shin Yun-seok sent me and kept going through the data that I had read since yesterday.

I don't know, 10 minutes ago? You hear someone coming from behind the conference room.

Jungwoo's executives have hardly seen it, so he leaned back at those who stood up in reflexes. And again, I felt someone's popularity right next to me focusing on the data.

“How come you've never seen this face before? ”

The middle-aged man in the cabbage head looked at Jungwoo.

“It's called Limiting Woo. · · · · of the Middle East affiliation ·”

“That's where the boss and the directors sit, so move it quickly to the back. Don't get weird later. ”

‘Director of Foreign Affairs' refers to the other table around the central circular table with the employee's certificate on its neck.

“That's... ”

“Oh, come on. Director Park of Strategic Planning has a temper of fire and is about to go rogue. ”

Jung stood up with a nice smile. I felt it was not polite to sit with senior researchers on the first day.

Director Ma glanced at Jungwoo, who was sitting on one side reading the document, and told his colleague next to him.

“That guy. You look young, but you're quite capable of being a middle-aged team leader. ”

“Could be a parachute. Jung-yeon's got a lot of people to take care of. ”

Director Ma smiled.

The conference room was quickly filled.

Three minutes after 10: 00, one by one, the executives were seated at the central table.

- I don't know what kind of blade wind today.

- I hear we're doing well this quarter.

- The oil industry has organ failure. Young-woo Tech and TK, they're gonna buy a whole bunch of chemicals and break through.

- M&A?

A familiar voice was heard by Jungwoo who listened to the murmurs of those waiting for the meeting.

“Why are you sitting here? ”

It was researcher Oh Seung-ju, who was responsible for the impression.

“Seungju. ”

Since I met the same researcher, I was happy to see Jung, who was a little relieved.

“Are you coming to this meeting? ”

“It's a little low class, but it's the head of Research Division. Why didn't you answer my question before? Why are you sitting here? ”

“Didn't Bo-young tell you? That lead researcher · · · Never mind. ”

“I heard it all. You don't have to sit in front of me, not here. ”

Oh Seung-joo points to the central table.

“I'm afraid.”

“Senior. It's more burdensome for us to sit here. Get out of my way. I know how you're in charge. If you're first in command, be the first in line. ”

“Senior · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Jungwoo pushed his back and pushed back to the center, but he hesitated and met the horse commander who said something. Why are you standing there? I can't answer your question. The front door is open.

Head of EAST's Second Factor Center has entered.

I thought it would be quiet in the meeting room, but Zhang Tai Seon shouted as soon as he saw Jung Woo.

“Senior Chief Jungwoo! I can't officially say I'm pleased to see you. ”

As soon as the head of the Center for Basic Materials pretended to know, the slave ship leader of the Center for Materials Science lifted his hand.

“You're finally here to study 100 points, Chief Lim Woo. ”

While the slave ship was congratulating him, biomedic Yoon Dong-hyung grabbed Jungwoo's arm for a moment.

“Senior Jungwoo. You gonna sit next to me? ”

“Dr. Yoon. What are you talking about? I'm right in the middle, so you should sit next to me. ”

Kim Seong-bo of the Information and Materials Center held Jungwoo's hand while the imaginary schedules of the cell center had a brief disagreement with Yoon-dong.

“You brought our doctors back to life. Thank you.Thank you so much. ”

“Sungbo Kim. Take a picture of the Sindha later, and step aside. Ms. Grant will be right in. ”

Zhang Tai Seon pushed Kim Sung Bo and seated Jung Woo in his seat.

As the commotion passed by like a storm, there was even more noise in the quiet conference room. Specifically, Director Jungwoo, who had simply identified Jungwoo as a team leader, looked at the central table with an unbelievable face.

“Here he comes!”

With someone shouting, the front door was wide open, and the executives of the main agents leading KG chemistry led Cha Bon-jun.

Among them, Jungwoo saw Dr. Shin Yun-seok bowing his head.

Cha Bon-jun opened his mouth while ten directors and executives, nine center heads and nine senior researchers were seated opposite the central table.

“The warden is on a business trip, so he'll be reporting in writing later. So, let the meeting begin. ”
