Manager Hong chuckled as if finding it absurd.
“…It must have been tough for you.”
Sehee said with a sympathetic tone.
Society was said to be like a jungle, where survival of the fittest prevailed.
Sehee felt that Manager Hong’s pain wasn’t foreign to her, considering she had always lived that way herself.
Sighing deeply, she couldn’t help but feel sorry.
“Despite the blind application this time, it seems like a good opportunity for me, who received disciplinary action. But Manager Jung… Sigh, the world is really dirty.”
Manager Hong let out a heavier sigh than Sehee.
After hearing Manager Hong’s story, Sehee felt even more sorry for Manager Jung, who was now alone.
“Let’s stay in touch and go out together often. Manager.”
Although it might not be a solution, Sehee thought it could be some comfort and said so.
“Really? As expected, I’m good at judging people. It seems like Director Lee is incredibly kind and a good person. I usually don’t say such things about bad experiences. It just came out naturally.”
Manager Hong comfortably shared his thoughts.
“Thank you for looking out for me.”
“Let’s treat each other well in the TF Team. I’ll take care of anyone bothering Director Lee.”
“Really? Just hearing that makes me feel secure. Thank you. I will be loyal.”
“Oh… this is truly reassuring.”
The atmosphere, which had been heavy, brightened again.
With that, the two of them headed earnestly towards the main office.
From the day the results were announced in the afternoon, interviews with the TF Team members were conducted with the CEO.
Except for the main office employees who finished their interviews on the same day, branch employees who received the TF Team acceptance notification started arriving one after another from the day after the announcement.
Before the interviews, TF Team members visited the HR department to fill out new three-year contracts.
Manager Hong and Sehee, who arrived last, also headed to the HR department.
“Welcome. Manager Hong, you two are the last ones.”
“How have you been? It’s been a while.”
“Yes. Nice to see you more often now. Come this way. First, check the contract details, receive instructions on precautions, and then sign at the end.”
The HR department employee, who had already met Manager Hong, greeted them warmly.
“You’re Director Lee Sehee, right? Thank you for coming. Let’s go together.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
Sehee also greeted warmly, following the HR department employee to the empty meeting room.
The two guided individuals sat in front of the prepared contracts and checked the documents with their names.
When they opened the documents, the HR department employee began explaining.
“Please confirm your name first.”
Upon hearing that, Manager Hong and Sehee rechecked their names written at the top of the documents.
“Yes, then you can check the terms of party A and party B. If there are any clauses or questions you don’t understand, please let us know.”
Manager Hong and Sehee thoroughly checked each page of the contract.
The contract was neatly and perfectly written without any unusual clauses.
“Do you have any questions?”
The HR department employee, who patiently waited for them to carefully read the contract, asked if the confirmation was complete.
“I don’t have any.”
“Me neither.”
Manager Hong and Sehee answered in turn.
“Well, then, let me inform you of one cautionary note.”
“A cautionary note?”
Manager Hong asked.
“Yes. The contract period is three years. As stated, the salary and special bonuses have been calculated according to the corresponding position, and they will be deposited into the account you provided as soon as you sign. Please note that the contract takes effect the moment the amount is deposited into the account.”
“Wow. This is fantastic. Seriously.”
Excited at the thought of receiving a large sum, Manager Hong burst into laughter.
“However, if the contract is terminated, that is, if the contract is not maintained due to personal reasons, not the employer’s fault, such as sudden resignation within the contract period, you must compensate an amount equivalent to ten times the deposited amount.”
The HR department employee explained with a stern expression, smiling.
“Ten times?”
Manager Hong immediately checked the clause in the contract as if in disbelief.
“Would there ever be a case where someone suddenly quits?”
The HR department employee laughed brightly.
“True… Unless you get fired, you wouldn’t quit on your own, right?”
Manager Hong chuckled once, then promptly signed the contract.
Sehee also pondered over the clause mentioned by the HR department employee.
A compensation of ten times the amount.
It was an unimaginable sum.
But there must be some appropriate measures, as the company also paid in advance.
It meant being bound and restricted for three years.
“Wow. It’s really deposited right away. Isn’t this incredible? How much is it, really?”
Manager Hong, sitting next to him, shouted with excitement.
“Manager Hong, please go to the CEO’s interview room.”
As the HR department employee signaled, another employee waiting outside approached Manager Hong.
“Director Lee, what are you worrying about? Let’s try our luck with a life-changing lotto.”
Manager Hong encouraged Sehee and stood up.
Nodding at Manager Hong as he left, Sehee looked at the contract once again.
She would be working with the interim CEO during the TF Team operation.
Yeah, could she endure it for three years?
Feeling a bit uneasy, Sehee also signed at the bottom of the contract.
As she handed it over to the HR department employee, the employee stamped the company seal.
After scanning the documents and immediately faxing them to the CEO’s office, the HR department employee said, “Director Lee Sehee, would you like to check your bank account?”
At the employee’s words, Sehee checked her mobile phone.
A bank message had arrived, notifying her of the deposit of a large sum.
“It’s been deposited.”
“Then, please remember that the contract is now in effect.”
The HR department employee emphasized once again, as if it were important.
“Yes? Yes.”
Sehee was a bit puzzled about why the HR department employee was emphasizing details that weren’t explained in such detail to Manager Hong. Perhaps Manager Hong felt a stronger sense of responsibility as the head of a household, considering he was more responsible than herself, a single woman?
With that thought, Sehee dismissed her doubts.
“Well, shall we go to the interview room?”
“Yes.”
Sehee, with the document completion, followed the guidance of the HR department employee to the interview room.
At that moment, she met Manager Hong coming out after the interview with the CEO.
“Director Lee, it’s amazing. Be careful of your heart.”
“What?”
Whispering quietly, Sehee asked as Manager Hong passed by.
“You’ll know when you go in. Anyway, be careful.”
Manager Hong, for some reason, was lost in his own thoughts, and his jaw seemed to have dropped in amazement.
A HR department employee standing in front of the CEO’s office cautiously knocked and then opened the door.
“The last team member, Director Lee Sehee, is here.”
After informing the CEO inside, the employee turned to Sehee.
“You can go in.”
Thanking the HR department employee with a light bow, Sehee entered slowly.
“Hello. I am Director Lee Sehee, joining the newly established TF Team.”
Sehee introduced herself in fluent English, courteously bowing to the CEO inside.
Then, she calmly lifted her head towards the CEO’s seat.
At that moment, her gaze met the arrogant deep-blue eyes that were solely focused on her.
“Long time no see.”
