Chemistry

* * *

The next day.

Jungwoo had been visiting Conrad's business room early in the morning to read Eugene Chemical's project materials.

[The world's largest desalination project with a total of 12 countries belonging to the African Union (AU), including South Africa, Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo. From extreme tropical rainy and dry weather conditions to desertification with a diurnal temperature variation of less than 40 degrees, it is managed throughout the aqueduct at altitudes of more than 1200 m above sea level. Gather total total-care know-how.]

Following the overview description for the main country, Jungwoo stopped looking at the facility part of the desalination plant and asked the head of Yoon Jae-gil Center, who was sitting across the table.

“There are so many participating countries, how did the project become a singularity? ”

“The power of AU. I felt that I was researching the market, but I had to completely abandon the idea of Africa that I generally knew. ”

The wild grasslands and civil wars that unfolded in the world of drug-breeding continued to amaze me, and the image of the land that suffered from poverty was briefly ordered to be folded.

“· · The Democratic Republic of Congo alone saw a 9.1% GDP growth rate last year, and in just 10 years it will double the economy. If you invest in the plumbing industry in advance, you don't have to do anything in the meantime, and it's about 13 times more effective than spending money. ”

After hearing an explanation that was unfamiliar with African culture and solely based on business minds, Jung moved up from within.

“13 times?”

“At least.”

If you put 1 million won, 13 million won.

If I had money, I felt like I had to pour it out to Yoon Jae Gil right away in Africa.

‘Come to your senses. I don't even have a home on the other side of the world. That's why they say business isn't for everyone. ’

Jungwoo smiled bitterly.

“Thank you for explaining, Center Leader. ”

“Anytime.”

Since the amount of data to check was so large, Jung read it thoroughly.

Regional desalination models, inland pipe reclamation plans, competitive trends, and the most important membrane-filtration bidding methods in 12 African countries at the same time.

I came in this morning to have lunch with room service, and I continued to figure it out until the afternoon.

“Ugh, I've seen it all. ”

Jungwoo lays down the last document and lies limp on the chair. Darkness soon falls outside the window on the seventh floor.

‘As our business grows, our research skills excel, and there's very little progress on the logic alone. ’

Only chemistry that seemed to be anywhere in the world was invisible in the world these documents show. I don't know how much we're doing since yesterday. It was a moment when I missed the smell of medicine in the chemistry room, not the smell of ink in the copy paper.

Jungwoo took a sip of his flashing cold tea a few hours ago, and stayed tuned to Eugene Chemical's staff sitting on the opposite table.

Expanding their businesses for 4,300 kilometers of plumbing total-care and having several weeks of contact with domestic and international buyers, they also seemed distracted. The only difference is that there are more than a dozen colleagues who work together.

I was a little envious of the current friendship with one of the top knights.

‘Well · · · I'll come tomorrow. ’

I asked Human Resources to conduct an interview with the research secretary. Once you've picked three smart people, the project will start at full capacity.

“Chief Song. PVC should not be considered alone. Ethiopian constructors prefer HDPE pipes. ”

“HDPE lacks coating studies. There are not many types and the unit price is high. Ethiopia is more likely to subcontract · ·"

“Don't you feel bad about winning an exclusive? That's five years. It's been a long time since the city has had a full-scale sewer, but it's the same as handing over the future. Don't you have any suggestions for improving the basic ingredients and increasing the output? ”

Jungwoo stared blankly at the monitor in front of Shin Jae-gil, then a coating component remained eye-catching. I felt like my eyes were flashing because I was facing the formula more than just boring business materials all day.

Polymer chain polymerization schemes are much more fun than worrying about value chain models for business plans. ’

After exploring the chemical world for a while, I met Yoon Jae-gil who finished the discussion with Chief Song Woo-jin.

“Jungwoo. Is the data worth looking at? Dinner's coming up. How? ”

Waking up from thought, Jung nods.

“No, I'm going home to eat. I've seen enough data. I hear you have some sensitive business secrets. Please disclose them all. Thank you for arranging such a comfortable position. ”

Yoon Jae-gil's face smiled as a child.

“How are we going to do business without this? We will continue to send information to employees with dispatches whenever it is updated. ”

“If you say so, I'd appreciate it. ”

The cleaning that happened in place put the documents lying on the desk in a document box. Jungwoo, holding the heavy box, walked next to Yoon Jae-gil.

“Jungwoo. This is a nice hotel. Why don't you stay for dinner? ”

“That's okay. By the way, that high-density polyethylene pipe coating. ”

You place one of your notes on the table next to Eugene Chemical.

“I've been working on a combination of catalysts that adjust the melt index and increase impact strength. ”

As soon as the word "catalyst that can improve performance" fell, all the eyes of the coating developers, including song exaggeration, turned to paper.

Yoon Jae-gil took the note and studied it. Understanding the principle, Najik stretched.

“A catalyst that could omit the mixing process. There's a steel coating grade additive. It's almost patent level. ”

“Let's not do this. Let's work together. I'll get back to you as soon as I've assembled my team and completed the business plan. Sure."

Jungwoo leaned down with a smile and left the business room.

People flocked to the front of the note. Song Woo-jin, a representative, waved his head more deeply than looking into the formula of the memo.

“Centurion, is this combination reliable? No, I'm sure you've seen the coating data over your shoulder. It doesn't make sense, does it? ”

“Chief Song. ”

Yoon Jae-gil looked at Song Woo-jin like he was pathetic.

“Do you know why everyone on the Alaskan project has been promoted to a major role? ”

Yoon Jae-gil said that the note on the table had been tapped.

“It's because there's no vomiting in the chemistry that Lim Woo has presented as a unique intuition. Put it right into Ulsan's factory, grab a new coating line, file a patent. ”

“Patent Rights Owner · ·”

“Fool? Of course it's limited. ”

“Times, different companies? ”

“You don't know people. ”

After finishing the instruction, Yoon Jae-gil thought. There's no 0% chance of scouting as long as the relationship lasts for the next five years. As Jungwoo stares at the missing door, it repeats itself like a spell.

* * *

Ducky.

After the summer, Jungwoo opened the iron gate that began to squeak again and went out. Jungwoo familiarized himself with the large generation waiting in front.

“Good morning, Knight Choi. ”

- Welcome, Senior.

After a short greeting through the intercom, Jungwoo pulled out the documents and spread them out.

After three days as chief researcher, I realized that this comfort in commuting to work was quite useful. Especially these days, when I have to deal with reports, I can't thank you enough for the time I have on the move.

‘Finish the selection interview this morning and get ready for the afternoon. ’

Knock, knock.

“Forensics.”

The door to the HR meeting room opened and the Director of Forensics entered. Jeollyeogy, who was sitting next to me, put the candidates' thoughts and scores in front of Jungwoo.

“This is · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Jung, who received roughly 50 names, rolls his eyes.

“Have you applied this much? ”

Forensics smiled.

“We've cut all the standard grades, but that's it. ”

“What happens when you recruit? ”

“Depends on what kind of project you're working on. ”

“I didn't say what to do. ”

Jungwoo looked at the title of the document he was writing on his laptop.

Not only did Yoon Jae-gil make a verbal agreement with him, but very few people knew he was going to do an African seawater desalination project.

“Chief Lim Wu has heard a lot about his work. No matter what you did, you would have gathered this much. ”

“How do I draw? ”

“If you are free to proceed, I will be with you. ”

“Then.”

Jungwoo proposed an in-depth interview of up to 10 minutes per person and paged one person immediately. If we don't hurry, we won't be able to finish them all today, not this morning.

After a while.

50 researchers who were waiting for the interview were seated on one side of the meeting room. One of them, a man in his late thirties, sat in a chair in front of Jung Woo.

“I'm a lead researcher at Seongmun University. ”

“I see you got your degree in amino resin research. I'd like to hear the latest research on nucleophilic add-on reactions. ”

The practical question that was asked first followed by a flinching voiceprint.

“In a one-step process that reacted with · · urea formaldehyde to form methylol derivatives, we went through a two-step process to produce UF resin. ”

“Wait, why did you focus on improving plasticity? ”

“It was to increase the membrane performance in acidic conditions. ”

“It works on acrylics, on alkyds, but on polyesters, on epoxies, it's less cross-linking. ”

“The disadvantage is that I've been trying to overcome and make it my life's work. ”

When I pointed out the key drawbacks, I was a little surprised and asked.

“Are you planning a plastic resin project this time? How do you know so well? ”

“It's not like that. ”

As you watch the clock, you write something on the note.

“Woohoo, I almost fell in love for 10 minutes. Take this. Thank you for the interview. ”

“What is this? ”

“Not Urea, but Melamine formaldehyde condensation, which produces resins. Concentrate on curing.”

The Seongmun ceremony looked at Jung Woo with embarrassed eyes and accepted the note. You turn your eyes back in horror as you read the note in a daze.

“Yi, this is · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Please refer to your personal study and email me when it applies. ”

In response to the speech ceremony, the other candidates who were in the interview were loudly with each other and made predictions. Of course, most of them were opinions that the lifelong study of sexual literacy had been solved in Hankyu.

“Senior Officer Lim Woo. ”

Forensics asked in a low voice.

“Did you solve a personal research project because you failed? ”

“You've come this far. I'm sorry. ”

“Huh · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The second and third researchers also received Jungwoo's note and disappeared.

“Senior Chief Jungwoo. With this critical molecular weight, rheological properties are completely different. ”

The fourth interviewer who saw the formula in the memo did not understand. Jung turned his eyes to see a fourth interviewer in the molecular world.

“The benefit of latex paint is its quick drying. Better to wait five seconds than to wait 15 seconds. ”

“Time dependence tripled? ”

“I think I can cut it down to two seconds. Oh, it's been over 10 minutes. Please go out and check slowly and email me later. ”

Volunteers were amazed at the quality of the senior researchers who handed key improvements to four doctors who had done different studies for a lifetime.

- It's not a fact-bomb. Research assignment bombardment.

- If I'd known it was this high, I wouldn't have supported you. Would that help?

- In other words, what you get is huge. I want to stick together.

Prognostics lifted the voices of volunteers into one ear and saw the creeps on their forearms.

I have been involved in many jobs, but I have never heard an interview like this. Last winter, Lim Woo's skill at discussing his research assignments 1: 1 with the center heads during the public debt planning assessment was not lost.

That was when about 20 people disappeared with the note.

Jeollyeogy looked at Jungwoo.

“I'm guessing you don't have people in the castle. ”

“No, they're all great people, but you study too much. I want you to support the outside world at the same time. ”

The talent award Jungwoo was looking for appeared in the twenty-third interview.

“I am a senior researcher in the watershed. ”

“Wow, you're a business major. ”

“Oh · · Yes. ”

“Do you know the difference between a value chain model and a polymer chain model? ”

“Well, is that a comparable concept? ”

“There must be a common aspect to complexity. Which one do you know better? ”

“The polymer side is not an area of expertise, but is also ashamed of the value chain. ”

“It's okay. I'd love to hear from you. ”

Jungwoo looked at Michael Porter's famous corporate management theory with an impressive eye for drinking.

“That's great, and I love the diversity of the research that I've done. Please take good care of him. I'm the deputy director.”

When Jungwoo signaled, Jeonryeology took out a green card.

“What is this? ”

“A pass, please. Go straight up. ”

Upon handing over the 25th floor personal laboratory pass, the owner of the security clearance opened his eyes.

“I lost Seong-mun earlier, too. Did I become me? ”

“Career in research is not important. I have the materials for the first meeting at the office. Please familiarize yourself with what you can do tomorrow. ”

When I brought up the work, I felt a serious look on the face of the watershed that was embarrassed.

“I've heard it's a work center, but I didn't expect it to work like this. I'll go and get to know him. ”

At the first step, the interview hall was delirious. Some who had already failed the interview but remained curious about the chemical conversations between Jungwoo and the volunteers looked at them with envy.

At 3pm.

After the thirtieth, even the fortieth volunteer took a note, but the forty-third researcher came back.

“I am the lead researcher at Lee Jun-Ik. ”

“Did you know that you have the widest range of candidates for the project? ”

“Oh, really? ”

From molecular biology to inorganic chemistry. Broad questions led to storms.

“The membrane separation of the barrier polymer was only read by me. ”

“I don't know where I saw it. Anyway, great. I admire that attitude. I look forward to your continued support. I'm the X.O., access card. ”

Lee Jun-ik's expression brightened because he saw that not receiving the memorandum was the success of the interview.

“I have the materials for the second meeting on the project that I'm going to start this time. Please be prepared to do so separately from our previous owners. ”

“I'll make sure of it. ”

It took a while, but once the friendship had succeeded in choosing two people, she welcomed the next interviewer with peace of mind. I was a veteran researcher with three patents, but not the talent I was looking for.

“· · Combination formula for adjusting glycol to dibasic acid ratio in a piece of polyester. ”

The interviewer's face darkens when he receives the note.

“You're out.”

“I'm sorry."

“What is there to be sorry about? With the fluorescent fiber formula that you propose, you can laugh much more at the figure required by the banknotes construction. It should be helpful enough. ”

At 5: 00 p.m., after the 49 th and last volunteer, Jungwoo went through the missing persons information again.

You can force one of these, but it was enough for the two of you to assist the senior researchers in their business.

‘You can't have the doctor copy you just because you don't have to. We'll ask for an intern later. ’

Now I turned my eyes to forensics thinking about organizing the interview.

“That's all for now. I have a lot of meetings scheduled from tomorrow. ”

“Senior.”

Jeollyeogy looked a little worried and pulled out a file iron from the briefcase. It was someone's resume.

“Was there another volunteer? ”

“Yes, but I'm not a member of the Institute. ”

“Really?"

I stopped to open the file. The title was unique. He was the chief differential officer for the affiliate KG Electronics Management Strategy Team.

I joined as chief last month, but you're my age. ’

I don't mean to be in the position of executive position at this age, but the parachute was clear. At the bottom of Jungwoo's resume, he groaned when he saw the name of his parents, 'Cha Nam-ho', written in the family story.

“I'm the deputy director. He can't be. ”

“That's right. He's KG's second son. So I've been thinking a lot about showing you. ”

Royal Family Volunteer, a 3rd year reimbursement veteran of KG Electronics, one of KG's most valued companies.

I didn't think I'd be asked to say hello, so Jung was dumbstruck.

“What do you think, sir? Should I accept it?”

“It's not KG electronics. It's KG chemistry. I think it would be beneficial to accept it if it was just a handful of senior citizens. There's nothing bad about having connections in a situation where there's no room. ”

“You mean domestic politics. ”

Forensics said in a low voice that no one was in the room.

“And, you know, Usually, when you mess up or become incompetent, rumors spread quickly. The name Cha Sung-su has never been mentioned like that. I don't know about that brother. ”

Jungwoo, who was looking at the photo of the resume, asked.

“UCLA's master's degree is not enough to assess his work skills. If I get you to copy my boss's son, do I get fired? ”

“It's unlikely, but if you're concerned about the consequences, you can hire a personal assistant rather than the research. Given that, it's a problem for them to think about coming in. ”

“Well, I'll do that. Please ask again in the form of personal assistant employment. Determine when you get promoted as research secretary. ”

“I understand.”

Jungwoo got up from his seat.

A day when volunteers were too busy to think. Tomorrow, it was going to be busier.

* * *

A few days later.

“I see you all worked hard on your business trip. ”

The warden's grandchild laughs nonchalantly, looking at the paperwork on the table. Then I turned to my assistant.

“Please move the documents here to the central conference room. I'll review it before the board meeting. And coffee, please. ”

“I made some new stir-fried beans. Would you like some? ”

“Good.”

A cup of aromatic coffee went up to the conference room table, and the work of a finger pushed up the tip of the glasses began.

Review, sign, review, reject.

While checking dozens of documents, center leaders and senior researchers gathered in front of the conference room and became noisy.

His grandchildren continued to review the documents without any fuss.

“Did you hear about the interview with Senior Jungwoo last week? He's been teaching and improving 47 studies. Shouldn't this be rewarded at the lab level? ”

I said, "Oh, I knew it. I'm sending all the guys in charge of our center. ”

“That's why Chief Jungwoo hates Dr. Jang. ”

“Who said that? Are we Jungwoo?”

After signing the last document, your hands turn to the noisy center chiefs.

“By the way, can't you see Senior Jungwoo? ”

“I was contacted that I was unable to participate in a team meeting. ”

A nodded hand lowers the pen onto the table.

As soon as he was about to start a high-level meeting at the lab, his secretary opened the door and handed out one of the newly printed documents to his grandson.

“Only Woo Senior posted this payment document. ”

As his grandson held the document in his hand, the attention of everyone in the meeting room was also directed toward it.

I turned my head out as I carefully read it.

“Door secretary. I need you to copy this and give it back. Just the right topic for today's Depression. ”

Soon, a document named [African Seawater Desalination Project] was distributed to all.

“Feel free to give your opinion. ”

The slave ship handed over the documents, saying.

“It's the same size, and it looks a little ridiculous. ”

“Ridiculous?”

“You know the RO filter research? The overseas sales team picked it up and told me about a business that was connected to the Egyptian Water Authority. The problem was that it was chosen to avoid Beolia and Suez, which exhibited strong technology and capital in this area. The countries in the same AU don't know about this. You want to go head-to-head with your defeated skills? ”

There was concern in the expression of the slave ship.

“I think it's meaningful. ”

Senior Seok Myung Yeon commented in a positive tone.

“As a researcher, I know that the abilities of Chief Lim Wu have been proven many times. I think that by just getting one senior through the filtering competition, R&D's fundamental investment and growth goals have been achieved. ”

“Even Dr. Seok seems to have failed. ”

“It's not a fair competition with huge profits. especially in the developing world. ”

“Anyone else? ”

Senior Kim Oh Sung was a negative tone from the beginning.

“The risk is great. Even if Chief Limited Woo has the source technology that surpasses both companies, he doesn't know whether he can break through the interests within the AU. He's not a friend who's been proven to be a big businessman. ”

“I admit I'm a limited time chief researcher, but I expect difficulties. The auction is only a month away. ”

“Beolia and Suez. Two French water companies have been building their lobbying knowledge for decades. We have high-level lobbyists available in Africa. Too much, too much. ”

The chief and several center leaders expressed their opinions, increasing the likelihood of failure.

“Ha, here. Why do so many people hit our Jungwoo from the beginning? ”

Zhang Tai Lin clenched his lips.

“I will actively support the basic materials at the discretion of the Middle East. ”

“That's what Dr. Jang says because he's complaining. ”

“What! My faith in Chief Limit Woo has never been shaken! ”

So far 1: 6. It was an overwhelming failure.

“How's Dr. Shin? ”

Shin Yun-seok thought and replied.

“I don't think it's an objective position to judge the success of the first project because I recommended Chief Lim Woo. Moreover, a few days ago, we had a separate discussion with one of the senior leaders about this. It's a good opportunity for KG chemistry, let's just say. ”

1: 6 and abstainment tickets were loaded with a strong sense of failure at the Deepening Conference. Zhang Tai Seon looked at his hand with the child's face.

“What do you think, Warden? ”

“I mean · · · · · · · · · ”

I had a complicated expectation of the attention of everyone watching the approval paperwork and piles of return documents in front of my hands.

The anomaly rings a claxon at the jammers, wedged to the side on a tightly pressed road.

“Get in line! This is why I can't drive in Seoul. ”

After expressing my frustration, I remembered a very silly conversation with my father this morning.

How great is Lim Woo to offer up a working son as his secretary? If you're going to do this, why did you ask me to come to Korea? I'll let you study more.

- It's because of you. You must be the same age. Isn't there anything that works? If you succeed, I promise to get promoted to Vice President.

I couldn't refuse to give the shareholders the position of a brother who only eats insults.

After all the hard work, the car stopped in front of the twin buildings of KG Chemistry.

“What are you doing scouting a person like this? ”

Cha Seo entered KG chemistry with his car carelessly in an expensive parking lot for outside visitors.

After the lobby, I reached the 25th floor and found the largest research area. Cha Seo straightened his clothes.

“I'm fishing because I have a better offer than I have a chance. He says he's going to pay you a lot of money, and you don't get it? ”

Twenty-eight in the same age. The plan was simple: celebrities and celebrities from Gangnam's famous clubs that nobody else could ever go to. Penthouse pass. Porsche.

There was plenty of garage space to seduce the bright young man.

Cha Seo put a card on the door with a smile on his mouth.

Bloop.

“Hello, Hasten · ·”

“Cha Sung-soo? ”

A young man who appeared with the inner door open recognized it first and said hello once. The anomaly that saw the name written on the chest of the study robe opened its eyes.

“Senior Chief Jungwoo. · · Working as an assistant starting today ·”

“Yes, it's good to see you, Seong-soo. It's the same age, and you don't have to be polite. ”

The opposing Pokémon cut the horse again, and the Chamberlain loses her introduction timing and becomes blank.

“Just copy 50 copies of this. Out the hall and to the far left is the copy room. ”

Lim Wu gives the order and turns his head again as he walks.

“You know how to use a copier, right? ”

“I know.”

Bloop.

The lab door closes again without taking a single step.

He looked at the document in his hand and cast his gaze inside the opaque door.

“Ha, self-esteem. ”

He was the head of the key management department until last week. I never thought I'd be here to make copies like that.

I turned the copier and made 50 copies, holding tight, and returned to the lab.

Bloop.

“Here you go. ”

“Please double-check your ticket booking. Yeah, five squadrons. Who is it? How many times do I have to tell you it's Chief Executive Project Limit Woo? I'm sure it's a yes.”

“Please hold 4 filter factory production lines and prepare to run 10 in advance. What a waste! If we succeed, we'll run out of Paju Factory. ”

There were only two men in the late thirties who were busy on the phone, but I didn't see any restrictions.

A man pointed down as he stood in a daze.

“This is the conference room on the second floor. Go, go, go. ”

Also, Chamberlain, who was unable to enter, quietly headed to the second floor with 50 copies of the document.

“Just two subordinates, so small. Why are you so desperate to get Lim Woo to the head office? ”

This is my first building, but I used my senses to find the meeting room at once. As you approach, you hear loud voices coming from the inside.

- Honestly, I'm not sure. The Egyptian case was also a suggestion to tackle the possibilities, not at this scale that we had to analyze seawater samples across Africa. Our filter team's capabilities are challenging.

- I've only ever sold synthetic resin to South Africa, and I can't believe I'm assisting with sales in 12 AU countries at the same time.

- This business cannot be funded at the scale granted to the senior researcher. Risk teams also added that it's better to go small.

It was all a negative voice, so Cha Sung-soo opened the door laughing.

I noticed that the young man, Lim Woo, was standing on the platform earlier, and there were more than 50 people sitting in groups who were discussing with him.

“Wait, here's the data. ”

When Lim Wu winked, Cha Sung-Soo handed out the documents without a word to everyone. After dispensing them all, I saw that there was a fortune left in my hand and sat in an empty place behind me.

“What kind of project are you trying to pull off? Africa. Is it a global project? ”

After handing over the document roughly, a section attracted the attention of the differential water.

[Treasury Reporting]

[Estimated gross sales in 5 years: 2,430,943,213,000]

“Crazy. How many balls? ”

I counted the digits again to see if it was written wrong. When the trillions were sure, they insulted me on their own. What I saw earlier in the lab on the 25th floor was never the level of running a business of this size.

“With Dalang and his men? ”

Suddenly, I was interested and focused on the words of the Master Master's Limited Liaison.

“· · · The tender method of the African Union Secretariat is simple: the majority of the voters in 12 countries win the business. Pipes, pumps, valves, which are the basics of fresh water plants. And the film we participate in will be chosen first of all next month. ”

“Is there any way to defeat Beolia and Suez and gain support in more than seven countries? ”

I simply answered someone's question.

“I'm going to offer you something better first. ”

“The technical competition for freshwater filters is actually a challenge for urban cleanup know-how. Even if you develop a membrane that can make 100% pure water, if other parts are not supported · ·”

“I'm sorry to say, Warden, you're in. ”

In the middle of the meeting, a number of researchers appeared to be old and open the back door.

All hands on deck.

Seeing executives from the KG Chemistry Institute gathered together, he watched the situation with an interesting eye. Watching someone get close is as fun as watching a fight.

- We're not here to interrupt. Keep meeting.

One person opens the microphone and opens his mouth, nodding and seeing the person who just had a conversation.

“I think Chief Min is mistaken. What we're going to show for AU in the bidding competition is not RO filters or reverse osmosis nanomembranes. ”

What do you want to say about not going to sell the filter and setting up the filter? The order was forced to listen to Jungwoo's voice immediately.

“There's melting water in Canada and alkaline water in the Blue Mountains in Austria. There are many in Jeju Island. I'm going to offer all the AU countries in Nigeria, Kenya, a bid for a custom mineral that tastes just like water from that land. It's not an ordinary freshwater filter that makes 100 percent of the water just minty. ”

“Is it practical to mimic what · · · · · · · · · · taste of water? Isn't there a proper research facility there? ”

“I heard Eugene Chemical's mobile lab is arriving in Beira. ”

Lim Wu glares back at everyone.

“Combining local samples with special bottled water is easy for me. At least in chemistry, I'm not a weakling, I'm a strongman. ”

Lim Wu's defeat to run a two-trillion project made me think that the difference was just Obara. However, the voices that were heard around him recognized that.

He won the interview face to face with 47 senior in charge.

- The rumors are true?

- There are four of you interviewed at our center, and they all say that.

Chamberlain was flawed. He doesn't look like he'd be much good at fighting. While I was troubled, I heard the executive's conversation.

- Dr. Shin, you heard me.

- The more cards in the spleen you hide, the better. Why did you approve the plan that everyone opposed?

- I trusted Dr. Zhang, Tae-sun.

- You're not the warden's eunuch?

I didn't understand this conversation at all.

“That's crazy. This place is weird. What's with the 28-year-old talk. Does it even make sense? ”

The water that carefully examined the handcopied data suddenly creeped my back. Today, he was forcibly transferred as Chief Researcher Lim Woo's personal assistant.

“· · · I don't have to follow, right? ”

Cha Seo shakes his head.

Africa.

There are no clubs, no penthouses, no Porsches.

* * *

Wednesday morning, September 2nd.

Jungwoo sat at the dining table and looked at Hong Ji-sook watching the breakfast square in the living room.

“Mom, I'm going on a business trip today. ”

“Business trip? How many days? ”

“3-4 weeks. ”

“Where are you going for so long? ”

“First stop, the port of Mozambique and Beira. We were able to avoid the Somali pirates when we arrived at the mobile lab freighter. ”

What are you talking about? ’I turned my head.

“Mozam · · · · What? Where is it?”

“Africa.”

After answering without a big deal, Hong Ji-suk suddenly stood up and slapped his back.

“Ah!”

“This madman. That's what he looked like on the way to the Outback. Are you going to a friend's house? ”

“I didn't expect the warden's payment to go this fast. I booked my flight next week and canceled it all. ”

He asked in a blunt tone when he saw Jungwoo touching his bitter back.

“You got your clothes? ”

“Roughly.”
