I told my mom and dad that I quit the company.
As expected, mom and dad were surprised.
"I'm worried you've brightened up by going there.
"Mom, we can go somewhere else."
I said this, but I was also a bit worried.
Dad also said if he was worried.
"That's the shit of a perpetual company. If it works, the boss gets greedy and does it.”
Mom looks at Dad's face and says,
"I sat down talking about someone else. You did, too!"
My brother was not at home because he came to work before I even woke up.
When my dad and mom went out, I ate ramen by myself, played a game for a while, and went into Worknet. Worknet was a job placement site for the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
"Fuck it! Why do only experienced employees ask for this?”
There were one or two good places, but it was too far from Sillim-dong, where the house was located.
"Isn't there any place to go home? I don't want a studio job anymore!"
Living in a local city with a studio apartment, there was nothing much left except for the room. When I went to Sillim-dong, I thanked my mom for making me a warm meal and I rested with my friends. I kept searching for Albamon.
Rather, the provincial city had a plausible corporate recruitment, but there was no place to go near Sillim-dong.
It was just like working in restaurants or door-to-door sales.
"Card company counseling and study papers don't fit me well!"
Sales to customers were likely to be jagged.
"Let's find another neighborhood, somewhere."
I also searched the Gyeonggi area once. Then there was something that caught my eye.
We're recruiting people to deliver parcels to Daedong Tongwoon. 5 million won a month.]
"What? 5 million won? The delivery work is tough, but five million won is enough!"
I'm craving for it.
If I get about 5 million won, there will be no problem because there will be a lot of things that fall even if I get a nice studio apartment. I thought I could save 4 million won.
"Keekyl, 4 million won a month can save 48 million won a year! It will raise 240 million won in five years. Then you can set up a small coffee shop or a chain store!"
I scanned the recruitment ads again.
[23 to 60 years old, two years after the driver's license] A healthy person who can handle 5kg of goods.]
"Haha. What's five kilos? I'm no problem even with 20 keys!"
However, there was a clue attached to the advertisement.
"Delivery worker's license? Do you need this, too? Where can I get this issued?”
I searched the Internet and found that the test was conducted by the Korea Transportation Safety Authority and the 80-minute test had a score of 60 or higher. The test sites seemed to be by region.
Once I took a note about the test information.
"Test of freight drivers is asking about transportation business laws and traffic laws. You can take a look at the workbook.”
I was taking notes and my cell phone rang.
"Who is it?"
I turned off the phone caller because it seemed to start at 070. 070 was due to a lot of advertising calls.
I thought I should change my cell phone case because it got so dirty. Then I thought of my friend Sungmo.
"Is the Virgin still in the cell phone store?"
The Virgin Mary was Choi Joon-sik's best friend in high school. I was a friend who worked at a mobile phone store in Guro-dong.
I tried calling.
"Hello."
"The Virgin Mary? It's me! Jun-shik!"
"Oh! It's Jun-shik, isn't it? Long time no see!"
"You're still in the cell phone store, aren't you? Is it worth it?"
"Yes, it's worth it. Come visit once. I'll pick up lunch.”
"Let's meet once in the evening. I quit my job. Let's have a drink."
"You quit the company? Isn't it a company near Myeonghak Station? What's wrong with you?"
"I folded it because the company didn't do well in business. I'm looking for a job, but I have time now, so let's just see each other."
"I finish a little late. It ends around 9 p.m."
"Oh, it ends late!"
"The disadvantage of cell phone shops is that they work long hours instead of being comfortable. But I like it because it's easy to work. You just have to sit down when you don't have any guests."
"You must be bored."
"I'm bored! I have few customers in the morning, so I do stocks."
"Shares?"
"You do all the stock trading on your cell phone! I've made a few bucks with politicians these days."
"Haha, is that so? Do you still live in Geumcheon-gu? Then I'll be near your house at 9:30 this evening. Let's meet at the Daebak Samgyeopsal restaurant we used to go often."
"Yes, come on. I want to see your face, too!"
I met my friend Yang Sung-mo at a pork belly restaurant near Geumcheon-gu Office Station.
"Hey, you're like an old man now."
"Mr. Man?"
"I think I lost more hair and I think I've got more potbellies. Take care of yourself."
Yang Sung-mo, a friend of mine, looked whiter and cleaner than before because he was dealing with customers.
"You're like a parasite."
"It's because I bought a new suit."
"You must be getting paid a lot. Your cell phone store seems to be doing well."
"Good for you! Basic plus sales performance, and it's always the same. It's the same because there will be a rival store next to you even if you have more customers. I bought this clothes with the money I earned from stocks.”
"You're a good stocker, aren't you? You said stocks are dangerous."
"It's dangerous, but if you ride the current well and timing well, you'll earn. I made a profit with Ban Ki-moon's stock these days.”
"Ban Ki-moon stock? Isn't Ban Ki-moon the Secretary-General of the United Nations?"
"There's a rumor that he's running for the presidency. So his stocks are just going up.”
"Really? You're great. I know that information!"
"What a surprise! I can see some stock charts. I'm going to open a cell phone store when I make some money. The store under my name."
"Hmm. You put your meaning to it."
"What are you going to do now? I quit my old company."
"I'm thinking of delivering a freight car. My monthly salary is five million won, so I'm craving you."
"Freight Car Delivery? Isn't that a parking lot?"
"What do you mean a rental car?"
"Didn't you know? Isn't that not working as a freight company employee, but buying a freight car and going in?"
"Is that so?"
"You don't know anything! You can buy a car, sign a contract, enter a logistics company or a delivery company. You'll say five million won when you buy a truck and go in."
"How much is the van?”
"I don't know that. Some old model years are worth 10 million won, some new tonnage cars are tens of millions of won."
I pondered over it. It cost a little money, so I thought, "If I drive a truck alone, I won't get much interference."
[But I only have three million won saved in my account, so what should I do? A used car would cost 20 million won if it were a truck. Oh, that'sir. I got your proof of employment! Shall we apply for a loan?]
When I thought hard about something, the bisexual mother said, pouring a drink into my glass.
"Hey, what do you think? Drink up!"
"Oh, yeah!"
"Well, you might be right to drive a truck. Your hair must have peeled off a little. I bet you got a pot belly. I think it would suit you rather than a cell phone shop. Good luck with it."
