Manager Han Jiang looked at Manager Xu and asked, "Manager Xu, I will need a junior employee or an intern to work with me since I have not sufficient information about this line of business. Can you please suggest someone?"
Manager Xu nodded. For this work, he asked Manager Kang to assist since he is in charge of the freshers and interns. Manager Kang gladly accepted to assist.
Manager Kang took him towards the section of junior employees and interns. Manager Han observed that all interns have yellow-colored IDs. He remembered that the girl in the lift also had a shining yellow-colored ID. He looked at everyone but he didn't find her. He shook his head and brushed off that thought.
Manager Han told, "Manager Kang, for the project I will be working on, instead of interns, I need a junior employee who has sufficient knowledge of the new IT project. Do you know who was working on it previously?"
Manager Kang nodded and introduced him to two junior employees. He suggested, "Manager Han, since you are new to this sector, why don't you choose someone from the IT department to assist you?" Manager Han nodded and asked, "It's a good idea, Manager Kang, can you spare some time and come with me?" Manager Kang laughed and said, "Of course, let's go."
Both the managers went to the IT department.
…
Su Yeon was waiting for Manager Lui at the entrance. Just then a car appeared in front of her and honked. Su Yeon went out. Manager Lui turned down the car window and said, "Get in."
Su Yeon opened the door and sat on the passenger seat. She fixed the safety belt and took out her laptop from the bag. She asked, "Manager Lui, what do I have to do now?"
Manager Lui started driving and said, "We will be reaching there within half an hour. So, you have only that much time to type down your data analysis in that presentation. I have left the place to fill the analysis. I have already mailed the presentation. Ask me if you get stuck somewhere."
Su Yeon nodded, "Yes Ma'am," and checked the mail. She then opened her bag, took out the pen drive and started working.
Within fifteen minutes, she completed the work and informed, "Ma'am, I am done! You forgot to add the graph of the last quarter's financial plan, should I add it?"
Manager Lui stopped the car at the signal and said, "Oh yes please add it. Wait…" she turned towards Su Yeon and asked, "What? Done already? How? Did you memorize the whole analysis?"
Su Yeon replied, "Umm… I had saved all of my research and analysis in a pen drive, so when it is required, I can just copy-paste it."
Manager Lui appreciated, "Smart work indeed! Ahh… but I wanted to bully you! It's ok, I will come up with another chance anyways." Su Yeon smiled cheekily.
Soon, they reached the Choi Constructions office. When they both came out of the car, Manager Lui reminded, "Intern Yoon, whatever we will discuss, type down everything in short, like minutes of the meeting. Wait, use my laptop, it's connected to our company server. So that, you can search for any information we needed." Su Yeon nodded and they both entered the company.
They both were told to wait in the conference room. After about ten minutes, the manager from Choi Constructions came and the meeting started. Su Yeon was trying her best not to miss any of the details while typing. She was almost juggling between typing and giving necessary information from the server.
After about two and half hour meeting, it was almost lunchtime. The manager from Choi Constructions ordered three lunch box servings for them. Even during lunch, they were discussing the real estate news. Su Yeon was trying to remember each piece of information even though she couldn't understand most things.
Su Yeon quietly listened to them but refrained from poking her nose in their discussion. Manager Lui took a break and went to the washroom. Su Yeon also followed her.
When Manager Lui came out of the washroom, she said while washing her hands, "I can already feel your eagerness to eat my brain by asking many doubts, am I right?"
Su Yeon nodded with a confused face, "Manager Lui, the thing is, I knew many of the information you were discussing, but never understood any of those."
Manager Lui smiled and said, "For now, I can only tell you that whatever information you have read was mostly connected to each other. One thing leads to another and so on. For common people, they are just news, but in this business sector and upper class, it's like one man's loss is another man's gain."
Su Yeon nodded. She heard this many times from uncle Wang. They came out and once again started discussing the remaining things.
The manager of Choi Constructions informed, "Manager Lui, if you want to meet our Director urgently, you have to go to the Central Mall, he was having a lunch meeting with Assemblyman Jo. His meeting will get over till 4 pm. If you want to meet, I will inform him about it now."
Manager Lui gave a business smile and said, "Sure, thank you. Please inform Director and schedule our meeting with him," "Ok then, I will schedule your meeting at 4:30 pm," "We are fine with it,"
She got up and shook hands with the Manager, "We will take our leave then, thank you for your co-operation." The Manager shook hands, "It's our pleasure to work with the Song Empire."
Su Yeon bowed and followed Manager Lui. Manager Lui said while walking, "As you heard, we will now have a meeting with the Director of Choi Constructions. You are mature enough to understand that this meeting is quite confidential, we will be directly reporting it to our Vice President, do you get that?"
Su Yeon got the meaning and nodded, "Yes ma'am, I will keep it confidential. Ma'am, do I have to take minutes of this meeting too? We are going to report it to our Vice President so…" Manager Lui smiled and said, "Definitely, it won't be a long report just like the previous meeting though."
They both sat in the car. Su Yeon took out her phone since she kept it on silent mode before entering the Choi Constructions. She got shocked when she saw notifications of many missed calls. Someone was desperately calling her a few hours ago.
…
In the IT Department of Song Empire,
Manager Kang introduced the new manager to his colleague and told them about his requirements. The Manager from the IT department took Manager Han to the intern and junior employees' section and introduced him to the required junior employees. Manager Han Jiang introduced himself to the junior employees and together they went to his new cabin.
On the other hand, Go Ye Jin, stopped typing after finishing a part of her work. She stretched her neck and fingers. She took out the bottle and drank a mouthful of water.
When she looked up while drinking, she saw a familiar young man. She stared at him for a few seconds and then got choked when she saw his face clearly. 'It was him! Really? Am I dreaming?' she thought.
She coughed a bit and tried to swallow the water in her mouth. She wiped her mouth, quickly took her files and went to her senior. She pretended that she wanted to ask a doubt but the real reason was different.
She went towards the senior's desk and asked, "Senior, do I have to include this function in the program too? I don't think it will run smoothly?" The Senior looked at the file and said, "I know but I was told that it will run so add it." Ye Jin nodded and fidgeted with her file. The senior asked, "What now?"
Ye Jin said, "Umm… who was that young man earlier? I never saw him before…" The senior thought about it and said, "Who? Ohh, he was the new manager in the finance department joined today."
"Ohh… but what was he doing in our department, I mean the new Manager… Manager… what is his name?" Ye Jin was acting efficiently. The Senior replied, "About that, he was assigned to our new project, so he wanted to have someone from the IT department explain to him the required information."
Ye Jin got irritated because once again her senior didn't tell his name. She realized something and asked, "But then why didn't you recommend me? I worked on the previous project too!" The senior told her, "Actually, he wanted a junior employee instead of an intern. Manager H… wait, what was his name? Manager Hong? Manager Hwang? I don't remember… By the way, why are we gossiping about it? I want that program before lunch break!"
Ye Jin nodded, "Yes senior," and went towards her desk. She thought, 'This senior is of no use now! Hmm, new manager in finance department… Finance department? Yes, I can ask Su Yeon about him!' and called Su Yeon. Unfortunately, Su Yeon wasn't answering the call. Ye Jin called once again but still, Su Yeon didn't answer the call.
Sadly, Ye Jin gave up and continued her work. Just fifteen minutes before the lunch break, Ye Jin completed her work and submitted it to her senior. While checking the functioning of some programs, simultaneously, she tried calling Su Yeon. 'Hmm, she seems busy, anyway, we will meet in the cafeteria,' she thought and continued her work.
After fifteen minutes, the senior reminded everyone about the lunch break. Ye Jin turned off her computer and took her mobile and wallet with her. She first went to the washroom to get fresh and then visited the finance department. She tried calling Su Yeon but this time too, Su Yeon didn't pick up her call.
She saw Manager Kang exiting the department, so she went towards him and asked, "Good afternoon Manager Kang! Is Su Yeon on a leave today?" Manager Kang smiled and replied, "Good afternoon, no-no she did come to the office but she went with Manager Lui to a client meeting. I don't think they will come anytime soon."
"Ohh, ok, thank you, enjoy your meal!" she bid farewell and returned.
She went to the cafeteria and stood in line for the coupon. When it was her turn to place the order she stared at the screen, "What should I choose? Meal A or Meal B?"
Someone from behind said, "I suggest Meal B, I heard that the meatball soup noodles served here taste delicious..."
