With Dave’s recommendation, and YongHo’s having won 2 awards, employment to Jungle progressed without much difficulties.
He was at a level where he could barely interpret the words he knew when he read technical documents.
Obviously, the interview didn’t go well. In the interview over the phone, he could barely spout out some words.
This was the word he used the most.
There were 2 questions: 1 question to solve a bug, and another question about a basic-level algorithm.
Jungle decided to employ YongHo believing in Dave’s recommendation and YongHo’s career in having received awards.
The problem after that was the process of employment. The process of employment to America wasn’t as simple as he thought.
This was the visa that YongHo applied for.
YongHo decided to first settle his affairs in Korea and go to America using a travel visa.
One of those was the algorithm study. The studies until now helped in the coding test given by Jungle.
And that showed its results through the interview with Jungle that it was in no way, futile.
He participated in the study to talk about it while he treated them to a meal. Choi HyeJin signalled with her eyes as if she had already heard the news from Na DaeBang.
“Thank you until now.”
“Hyung, thank you.”
“It was all thanks to you that I came here. If you didn’t introduce me to part time jobs then I might have taken a semester off, and I won’t be employed in Mirae IT, right?”
Like this, he felt like he would really feel hatred for him.
Such thoughts couldn’t leave Kang SungGyu’s head. Especially, the comparisons made at the company sometimes made him more and more unable to endure.
Last day at work.
The take-over for the things he developed until now were finished. During that, the process of YongHo leaving the company was also finished.
And the last day had come.
These were the words spoken by Jeong DanBi when he called for YongHo. When he first came to Shinseki, he was even a cooperative company employee, and not even a regualr member.
But now.
In the last moments, he was going to meet chairman Jeong JinYong. His start was small, but his end was grand.
There weren’t many changes to the chairman’s office. The furnitures still boasted of their luxuriousness, and the atmosphere was heavy as if another type of gravity was acting inside it.
“Yes.”
YongHo took out a notepad from his pocket as if he was waiting for those words. Perhaps due to using it for a long time, the note pad shined from the corners as it was worn out.
“Shall I tell you one by one?”
At YongHo’s reaction, Jeng JinYong, who always kept his expressionless face, coughed awkwardly. Jeong DanBi, who was sitting next to him, thought about starting up a business so she didn’t show any reaction to YongHo’s such actions.
“Then I’ll take that as a yes and tell you.”
“First, the abolishing of the Development Specialist System. I don’t know why such a system exists. Rather than respecting developers, I felt that it was making a intra-company outsource. Low salary and a treatment like those of disposable items. Of course, I know that Shinseki isn’t an IT technology based company, but if it’s aiming for a technology based company, then this will have to be changed. For your reference, I was also employed as a development specialist.”
This was just the beginning.
Was it due to the little amount of experience in society? Or was it due to the confidence he had in his own ability?
The fact that it was already decided that he would move to Jungle was big.
Jeong JinYong stopped YongHo when he was on his third point.
However, YongHo didn’t have any intentions on stopping. He had planned to say everything he felt from his experience here and there and even planned to do some people’s requests.
Complying and accepting just because someone has more power, money, and ability – if he did that then there was no difference from the past.
“……”
Someone who’s quiet normally was always more scary when angry.
In YongHo’s case, he wouldn’t be fired but it was unknown how much loss he would receive. Jeong JinYong had enough power within Korea to do that.
As the talk continued, one of Jeong JinYong’s cheeks started twitching. He seemed really uncomfortable.
It wasn’t success that remained inside him the most while he was commuting to Shinseki. It was the pain and suffering of his colleagues which remained deeper inside him.
When YongHo finished his sentence, only silence flowed inside the office. Jeong DanBi stood up first thinking that it wasn’t good to continue like this.
YongHo, who also had nothing more to speak about, stood up. Only chairman Jeong JinYong was left inside the wide office. It was to the point that his exhausted look, especially today, looked pitiable.
Before going to the chairman’s office, YongHo sent an e-mail to every employee in the company. Will the atmosphere of the company change just because he had talked to the chairman?
There were a lot of things, but Shinseki was the company which became YongHo’s foothold in becoming stronger. He had affection for this company so he would have like for it to develop more.
And so, before he went to see Jeong JinYong, he had sent the contents of his talk that he was going to talk to the chairman about.
See, feel, and act.
I know that it’s a hard and painful path. But even so, put your best efforts. Although I’m talking about this since I’m leaving, I will lend a hand.
Just talking about it when leaving wasn’t easy. Even when most people get fired, they don’t insult the company that they went to.
Worry gave birth to uncertainty and it chained people’s actions.
Clap clap.
Many gazes were on YongHo as he left the company. And some of them were clapping. The first was Son SeokHo, and Na DaeBang followed. Then the entire smart shopping strategy team came out to the ground floor lobby and clapped.
At first, there were rumor about him being too close to the direct descent of the chairman to the point that he was called ‘Jeong DanBi’s man’.
He became recognized as a person with ability as he had solved many of the problems that went on inside the company.
A person who stood up with ability and not with relations.
These were sufficient for him to get applauded.
The people in the lobby were applauding YongHo as he left as if they were all hypnotized.
The website YongHo checked the day before he went to America was not Stack Overfly.
YongHo newly registered a his new workplace.

The traces of his past remained there.
