When the results were shown on the beam projector, YongHo walked to the front of the conference room.
YongHo spoke while stuttering from time to time with Jessie’s help. However, no one in the conference room was listening to him.
They were only looking at where it was written ‘RMSE Score 1.000’.
All ten people were raising their hands up high as if saying ‘pick me! Pick me!’. Everyone had curiosity written all over their faces.
No one could grab YongHo as he walked out with his laptop.
This was the emotion that people had when looking at YongHo.
Tap.
“YongHo!”
“Dave! I said don’t play around like this!”
“What was that? You should explain it to me.”
“I’m tire since I worked late into the night yesterday, let me rest today.”
Dave understood YongHo’s state.
As Dave himself had tried in the past, he knew better than anyone.
YongHo left work first after putting down the laptop. He had already done more than he was given. As no one touched him if he did his work well, No one touched him as he left work.
The place he went to after leaving was the library.
It was for Jeff’s homework to YongHo. The homework was about an algorithm called the minimal spanning tree.
A government decided to construct roads that could connect all cities together. The cost of building roads that could travel back and forth City A and City B would cost $C and $D. Calculate the necessary amount of money to connect all cities so that one uses the least amount of money.
Then, he wrote YongHo the necessary cost in constructing roads that connect cities.
If YongHo looked at the Bug Window, then he could implement it. However, he wouldn’t be able to explain the process.
To solve this worry, he was receiving tutoring from Jeff.
The difficulty of the algorithm had shot up incomparably compared to his university days.
However he knew very well that if there was no such process, then he would have no development.
YongHo didn’t even bring his computer to express it in formulae and not codes. All he had was a notebook and a pencil.
That day too, YongHo didn’t go back home until late at night.
YongHo was going inside a building.
It was the place Jeff worked in. Thanks to YongHo solving the problem, Jeff was acting as a tutor for YongHo.
The homework Jeff gave to YongHo, the minimal spanning tree algorithm.
There were two ways to solve the question Jeff gave him. Prim’s algorithm and Kruskal’s algorithm. The algorithm YongHo selected in order to solve the question was Prim’s algorithm.
It was a solution written only with pseudocode and formulae.
Jeff’s eyes started shining like an eagle’s while looking at the question YongHo solved.
“Shall we go into the high level ones now?”
It wasn’t easy to become the world’s best programmer.
The thing waiting him after Jeff’s lesson was the English tutoring was Yu SoHyun. It could be said to be a resting time as he didn’t have to do complex calculations.
“Should we talk about companies today?”
When Yu SoHyun chose a topic, YongHo started speaking slowly.
“Is that so? How was your previous company?”
This was an obvious kiss-ass.
When Yu SoHyun stayed still in embarrassment, YongHo’s playful attitude activated.
“…What!?”
As though she thought that she was being cornered, Yu SoHyun quickly changed topic. She seemed urgent as Korean, instead of English, came out.
“News?”
“They said the Shinseki app we made became a huge hit!”
YongHo also seemed surprised as he asked with a serious face. The version YongHo knew was only about the recommendation system that Jeong DanBi was in charge of, reaching 100 billion in sales.
Yu SoHyun’s words contained pride. Although she didn’t speak about it, she seemed very delighted that a service in which she took a part in its design, rising so high.
“Also, they said that it became 3rd in rankings of Korean online shopping malls. There were also many companies preparing similar services.”
If Yu SoHyun’s words were true, then it was really a jackpot. Although, as Jeong DanBi left and started her own company, they did just gave Jeong JinHoon something good.
Plop.
‘But I see some hope.’
When he first started receiving algorithm lessons from Jeff.
Persistence.
Although not high level, he had enough ability to solve middle level problems. Although there were some deficiencies in his English skills, he was gradually approaching the point where he could participate in conferences without Jessie.
YongHo felt those words with his skin.
The best way to study is to meet friends who can study.
When reality came upon him, he worked hard to adapt and his persistent efforts were now producing results.
He intended to lie down for a moment but he went into sleep straight away. Without even washing up properly, YongHo met the morning just like that.
Jeong DanBi and Jeong JinYong were sitting, facing each other. Jeong JinYong, who rarely expressed his emotion, also couldn’t hide his pity.
“……”
It seemed as Jeong JinYong’s pity was transferred to Jeong DanBi. However, Jeong DanBi didn’t hesitate. Such decisiveness seemed to have come from her father.
“……”
Even so, he felt it was a pity.
However, that was just what he thought. After silence flowed for a moment, Jeong DanBi spoke first.
Then she stood up from her seat and walked out.
Not being able to grab her going outside, he could only stare at her back.
“DanBi left?”
“So?”
He wanted to know what kind of conversation happened between them.
“……”
The man bowed his head with a joyful face. As Jeong DanBi left, Shinseki Incorporated.’s successor had become one.
Smash!
The mouse smashed directly on the man’s forehead and dropped down.
“……”
“If the sales of Shinseki comes out from the service that she made then… What will happen? What happens if the thing I put my hands on fails all the time, and what she works on succeeds all the time?”
“I need a concrete proof that I am befitting of the position of chairman.”
Jeong JinHoon fell into thought as he buried his body on the chair. Shinseki’s Magic Mirror, which he had prepared ambitiously had disappeared without a sound while leaving behind a massive loss.
OH! Was receiving enormous attention as it showed explosive growth.
Currently, they were even preparing for going world wide.
“Give me all the list of members who developed the OH!.”
At Jeong JinHoon’s words, the man couldn’t even take care of his injuries before going to work.
