The content included calling the names of new employees lightly, instead of using ‘Mr/Ms ((()))’ or ‘((()))’.
“As it was an introductory phase, autonomy was granted to the department heads, but it was immediately applied to those with lower ranks.
This sudden shift to treating newcomers with respect felt awkward for many, and they began to refer to the newcomers as ‘Newbienim’, as if it were a nickname.
“I should have realized it when they started talking about a horizontal organizational culture….”
Shin Yeon muttered to herself softly.
Me again. I wondered what was happening at Hanshin Planning, which is surprisingly conservative for an advertising company.
When the chairman’s son started as a new recruit, I had to issue a formal document like that, huh.
“Huh? What did you say just now?”
“Oh, nothing, nothing at all.”
She dismissed it with a wave of her hand.
“Deputy Min. Here’s the document you requested.”
Just then, the protagonist of the reorganization plan strode towards Deputy Min.
Shin Yeon was startled at the sound of Do Jun’s voice and quickly shifted her gaze towards the monitor.
She was recollecting the lessons she had learned just moments before in her mind.
I can’t get involved with that kid anymore. Sticking my nose in is also forbidden……
“My goodness. Did you finish this already?”
“It ended sooner than I thought.”
Again, Do Jun’s voice, pretending to be a newbie at noon, was kind.
Deputy Min skimmed through the document handed to her, marveling at it.
“It’s too perfect. I thought it would take a while when I saw the director giving you work at the morning meeting……”
“Ah, about that.”
For a moment, Do Jun’s eyes met Shin Yeon’s on the other side.
Then, with a mischievous smile on his lips, he said,
“That’s going to end soon too.”
Listening to their conversation quietly, Shin Yeon suddenly felt her hand gripping the mouse tighten.
Hey, this…… what? End soon?
Shin Yeon bit her lower lip hard, but for some reason, her mouse started moving a bit faster than before.
I can’t help it. If that’s the case, I have to do it quickly.
“By the way, Hyun Woo, there was a mistake in the email you sent to the manager earlier.”
Deputy Min pulled up an email on her monitor screen in which she was referenced.
“You shouldn’t use expressions like FYI in emails to superiors like the manager.”
FYI (For Your Information).
It was a phrase that was discouraged when referring to your superior, meaning, ‘I will inform you of information that may be helpful to you.’
“I’m sorry. I will correct it.”
“Well, you’re a newbie, so it can happen. The manager will understand too.”
Do Jun bowed politely and apologized for his mistake.
“Heh.”
Hiding behind the monitor, Shin Yeon smirked.
“Hey, Min, that kid graduated from Harvard. You can’t not know that.”
Despite Do Joon’s usual adherence to the hierarchy, it was clear that he used that phrase knowingly.
‘That cunning fox….’
However, all Shin Yeon could do was glare at Do Joon from across her monitor.
“Eek!”
Then suddenly, her eyes met Do Joon’s, and she quickly bowed her head, letting out a short scream.
I’m doomed. Truly doomed. Anyone would see that as a glaring look.
Ah… Shin Yeon, really.
As she bit her lower lip tightly and held her breath…
“Section Chief Shin Yeon.”
Sure enough, he started to approach her slowly, calling her by name.
“Yes, yes?”
Now that it’s come to this, she had to remain calm.
She lifted her head pretending to be fine, but her voice, unprepared, faltered.
“I noticed you’ve been looking over, so I wondered if you needed anything.”
Do Joon said, sporting a friendly smile.
“I, I had some business with Deputy Min, but it seems there was some misunderstanding.”
As Shin Yeon stuttered again, he let out a small laugh.
She looked visibly tense to anyone watching.
“Here.”
He didn’t scold Shin Yeon. Instead, he extended a document towards her.
“What is this?”
Shin Yeon took what he handed over with a curious look.
“I thought it would be useful for the task you’re working on now.”
It was information related to the task he had requested of Shin Yeon earlier.
The document was neatly organized and mostly completed.
What the… if you’re going to do this, why not finish it yourself. Why pass it on?
“I did send it via email, but I know you prefer to review hard copies.”
“Ah… Th, thank you.”
There’s a misunderstanding.
I prefer you do it yourself.
And besides, why should I thank you for this? Really, me.
Shin Yeon struggled to hide the discontent rising in her throat, but her lips twitched slightly.
“Well, take care.”
Fortunately, Do Joon didn’t make an issue of Shin Yeon’s expression.
He just politely said goodbye and turned away.
“Really, Shin Yeon.”
And as he turned away, a mysterious smile played on his lips.
((()))
Shin Yeon ended up leaving the office a little late.
The final review for the project planning was a day away, and there was more than one thing to prepare.
Announcement of the domestic marketing plan for the newly released smartphone R7 by Han Electronics.
As always, Shin Yeon had everything perfectly prepared.
That wasn’t the real reason why she had to work late.
Beep, beep, beep.
It was due to the terrible data collection task assigned by the new recruit this morning.
Despite having reference material, it took time to completely organize it.
How many years had it been since I last conducted an intercorporate data search?
It was outrageous.
“Getting here now?”
Why did she feel like she hadn’t left work when she clearly had?
At the sound of Shin Yeon pressing the number keys, the nextdoor neighbor’s door suddenly opened.
“Ah, yes. My workload increased significantly, so I finished work late.”
“Admirable. I like the dedication for the company.”
That mouth of his, really.
As the chilly summer night’s air settled in, the person she came face to face with again was the haughty young chairman.
Shin Yeon bowed her head slightly, feeling her head would spin if she engaged with him any longer.
It was a strong expression of intention not to talk any more, an indication she was going home.
However.
“Miss Shin Yeon.”
Late at night.
Even though the darkness came later than in winter, it was still night.
The only light was the entrance light leaking from her justopened house.
Just as Shin Yeon was about to enter the bright light, Do Joon’s voice lured her towards the darkness.
“Do you want to eat ramen?”
We still don’t know each other…
