Slightly sweeping her black horn-rimmed glasses with her hand, Choi Go-eun began her explanation. Her steady eyes met each and every team member, leaving a strong impression.
"You probably had many fantasies about public institutions when you joined this company. A guaranteed employment contract until retirement, moderate workload, a salary higher than that of civil servants, and an annual increase in line with inflation."
"However, you should give up those fantasies now."
"Last year, two public corporations were unable to handle their debt and were absorbed by other organizations, and the company's current profit model is also worsening every year."
Gulp
The team members' faces become heavy at the serious topic.
"In the end, we must also change in the changing environment. The command of a public institution cannot guarantee the future of the company forever. Of course, the management is well aware of this fact. And the Organizational Innovation TF Team will be the first to lead this change."
The company's future and new business can only be achieved if the conventional and outdated organization is completely changed. This important role puts a lot of pressure on me, but I think it's not an impossible task if you and I do our best."
Although she said that, there was no tension at all on Choi Go-eun's face. Rather, it was filled with anticipation and confidence, as if she had been waiting for this moment and this place. And the woman's face, filled with ambition, was quite beautiful.
'It must be because she was originally pretty.'
Hyun-woo also felt the passion that had died a long time ago stir a little at Team Leader Choi Go-eun's impressive speech. He, too, had ambitions like Choi Go-eun when he was a new employee. Of course, he had completely forgotten about them while doing chores for the team members who were like trash.
'You're pretty good at talking, too, right?'
Choi Go-eun's speaking skills were as outstanding as her looks. Hyun-woo found her leadership a little, a little cool. If only it weren't for Choi Go-eun's next words.
"Manager Park."
"Yes, Team Leader."
"I was very impressed by the previous year's reorganization proposal that Manager Park had planned when he was in the organization team. Although it was not ultimately accepted by the management, I felt Manager Park's insight into the organization and the changing environment."
"Thank you."
"Manager Kwon."
"Yes."
"I heard that you are the most expert on the company's budget, having established mid- to long-term financial plans for the budget team for three consecutive years."
"Thank you for the compliment, Team Leader. Hahaha."
"And Manager Jeong. You were in charge of establishing mid- to long-term strategies and management plans in the strategy team, right? Is there anyone more needed in the organization innovation TF team than this?"
"Thank you, Team Leader."
"Lastly, Mr. Lee Hyun-woo… I don't really know much about him. He only worked in the management support team after joining the company. He has no special achievements or accomplishments. On the other hand, he has a pretty good reputation among employees. That's why I hesitated until the end, but I decided to trust his reputation within the company."
"Yes, I will work hard without disappointing your expectations."
"Yes, please. Mr. Lee Hyun-woo. You should do that."
Despite Hyun-woo's passionate answer, Go-eun Choi's response was lukewarm.
[User: Go-eun Choi]
[Psychological Message]
[Upset] on an Incompetent Employee
Just like her psychological message, Go-eun Choi couldn't possibly give a good evaluation to Hyun-woo, who didn't have any special abilities. Of course, there was that heartbreaking incident.
'Haa… You really are a beggar.'
His relationship with Go-eun was completely twisted from the first impression. How could he win over her heart, which seemed like it wouldn't bleed even if he stabbed her? Hyun-woo felt his heart sink.
"Anyway, I selected you all because I thought you were the best employees by my standards, so you can be proud."
Glance
Of course, Go-eun Choi looked at Hyun-woo with a subtly dismissive gaze, as if Hyun-woo was an exception.
"You are clearly busier and more difficult than any other department, and you have to do work that no one has attempted before. There will be a lot of overtime work, and you may have to work on weekends as if you were eating. However, there is one thing I can guarantee you for sure."
"In the future, you will be on the top promotion list, and you will always be the top priority for training or transfer to the department you want. So don't worry about compensation for your hard work."
Wow
Clap clap clap
The team members start to applaud enthusiastically at Choi Go-eun's words that she will compensate them accordingly, even though it will be hard. However, Hyun-woo's heart is heavy, contrary to the team members' expectations. Choi Go-eun is definitely not an easy opponent.
.........…
Piri-ri-ri-ri
Woo-woo-ung Woo-woo-ung
The office is ringing like crazy, with all phones and cellphones. It feels like a war has broken out, and there is no time to come to your senses.
"Yes, this is the Organizational Innovation TF team."
"Yes, Director, I will compile the data and report back to you by the morning."
"Hyun-woo!"
"Yes, Team Leader."
"Have you finished the data research I mentioned earlier?"
"It hasn't even been 30 minutes since you asked me to. You bitch!"
"I'll have it right away so you can see it."
"Hurry up. Bring it quickly. Oh, Manager Park. Are the other agency status survey data ready?"
"Yes, Team Leader, it's here."
"Yes, put it on your desk. I'll check it."
Choi Go-eun, who had been nagging Hyun-woo, begins to carefully read the status survey report written by Manager Park Hye-soo.
"Manager Park, you organized it so neatly. I think it's okay to quote this directly in the report."
"Thank you, Team Leader."
Manager Park returns to her seat with light steps, feeling good about Choi Go-eun's praise.
"Have you finished, Mr. Lee Hyun-woo?"
"Yes, it's finished now."
Choi Go-eun's tone of voice, still ignoring him by not calling him by his title and using ~, annoys Hyun-woo, but he holds it in and hands her the report he wrote.
"Um..."
Choi Go-eun carefully examines the report Hyun-woo handed her. However, her clean face without a single wrinkle begins to wrinkle.
"Mr. Lee Hyun-woo, is this the completed report?"
"...Yes?"
"From the font size to the spacing, to the design. It's all a mess. The content isn't even worth talking about. Hyun-woo, this isn't school. Should I sit you down and teach you everything from the beginning?"
",,,"
The deal meter explodes with extreme damage. Hyun-woo clenches his fists without realizing it at Choi Go-eun's direct, even insulting words.
Chin
"If you have eyes, compare Manager Park's report with yours."
Choi Go-eun seems angry as well, and roughly throws the data Manager Park just wrote at Hyun-woo.
'Okay, let's take a look. How well-written.... You wrote it... Damn it.'
The quality was clearly comparable to his own report. The well-organized diagrams and concise sentences made it possible for anyone to understand the contents of the report at a glance. Didn't they say that a well-written report is one that even an elementary school student can understand? This report fit that description perfectly.
"..."
Thanks to that, Hyunwoo couldn't say anything like a mute who had eaten honey.
"Please do it again and bring it back. Mr. Lee Hyunwoo."
Choi Go-eun's cold words stabbed him like a knife.
...........
"Haa..."
"Cold your head with a cup of coffee, Manager Lee."
"Ahh... Thank you.
Manager Kwon Yong-chan, who had worked in the budget team and then moved to the TF team, handed Hyunwoo a vending machine coffee after being brutally beaten by the team leader.
"Are you having a hard time these days?"
"Haha..."
"Manager Lee, don't be too upset. Team Leader Choi is famous for that kind of style. I thought the budget team was a tough enough department, but here, other departments really feel like child's play."
Kwon Yong-chan tried to comfort Hyun-woo with a smile. His eyes were so small that they almost disappeared when he smiled, but his overall impression was rather comfortable rather than mean.
"How did you end up working under Team Leader Choi?"
"Oh, I'm a weekend couple with my wife who works in the metropolitan area. It was great at first, but it's really hard to move up every week. Why is it that weekends are harder than weekdays?"
Kwon, who was forced to break up with his wife because the headquarters was in a rural area, seemed to be aiming for the metropolitan area in the next transfer season.
"There aren't many positions in the metropolitan area and the competition is fierce, right?"
"That's right. But Team Leader Choi said it clearly, so we have to believe him. Hahaha. So let's just hold on a little longer."
"Thank you, Team Leader Kwon."
"I'll go in first. "Take a break and come back."
Still, Hyunwoo felt a little stronger thanks to his good teammates.
'Still, I'm glad I have teammates.'
However, Hyunwoo, who checked the psychological messages of Choi Go-eun and his teammates through the work system before entering the office, realizes once again that there is no one he can trust.
[User: Choi Go-eun]
[Psychological Message]
[Satisfaction] that his ability was recognized
[Anticipation] for the company's successful innovation
[Confidence] as a team leader
[Disdain] for incompetent employees
[Contempt] for insecure members of the opposite sex
The perfect team leader's condition has not changed at all since the beginning. However
[User: Park Hye-soo]
[User: Kwon Yong-chan]
[User: Jeong Min-yeong]
The psychological message that appeared to the team members was
'Thank goodness there's one person who's lacking.'
'You have to get torn up so I don't get torn up.'
'Please don't let me get torn up too.'
It was roughly this meaning.
On the surface, he consoled Hyun-woo who was being torn up by Choi Go-eun as if he felt sorry for her, but in the end, he was glad that he didn't get torn up because of her. Keep getting torn up.
"Wow... Look at these bastards."
Didn't they say that work ability and personality are not proportional? If there had been no work system, Hyun-woo would have been shamelessly comforted by the nice-looking team members. Hyun-woo realizes once again that there's no one he can trust at work.
'Fuck, no matter how much you yell, I can't last a few months? What am I! 'In the original team, he was the one who did the work of three people alone.'
Team Leader Choi Go-eun, a perfectionist who never compromised, and the gloomy team members. Hyunwoo had absolutely no intention of falling behind, even if it was because of his pride.
.........
"Fuck."
However, Hyunwoo's determination was soon shattered.
Team Leader Choi checked the team members' work progress in real time, managing the schedule by the minute. Instructions had to be submitted within 1 hour, or at the latest 2 hours, in a neat and tidy report that caught her eye, but also perfect in terms of content.
Of course, if the work was simply writing reports, Hyunwoo wouldn't have whined like this.
In addition to the marathon meetings that lasted over 2 hours every day, there were in-depth interviews with team leaders and team members from almost every department in the company. And of course, Choi Go-eun demanded that all the content of the meetings be perfectly organized, including minutes.
Of course, this was only part of it. Numerous case studies for advanced case analysis, scheduling with employees from other companies, interview questions, and minutes were Hyunwoo's job. A huge amount of time and effort was invested in making everything meet her standards.
So what does Team Leader Choi Go-eun do?
Surprisingly, Choi Go-eun was doing more work than all the team members combined. All tasks must be organized systematically in the head in order to give instructions to team members as efficiently as she does.
Even to the sharp questions of the CEO and external advisors, Choi Go-eun answered fluently without any hesitation.
In order to achieve the results Choi Go-eun wanted, Hyunwoo worked overtime and on weekends as if it were nothing. In the end, in order to win over her, he had to be recognized by her for his work.
However,
[User: Choi Go-eun]
[Psychological Message]
[Satisfaction] that his ability was recognized
[Anticipation] for the company's successful innovation
[Confidence] as a team leader
[Disdain] for incompetent employees
[Contempt] for insecure partners
A month has passed, but Choi Go-eun's psychological message has not changed at all.
※ Work Instructions (Manager Level)
[Use the psychological message to win over a female employee with a charm point of 8 or higher. Must be completed within 3 months from the date of assignment.]
[Remaining deadline: 1 month, 29 days, 12 hours]
