3. In the Club
The meeting was held under Director Song’s order. He asked about With Babies project's progress and opinions to the project team members. As a result, Director Park’s plan got rejected completely. If that side requests a design subcontract, they made a decision that they won’t do the project. Director Song told Director Park (Park is lower rank than Song), “Since Director Park got the result by going there, he should take the responsibility to reject the project.”
“Since it’s summer vacation season soon, let’s not get to work in a hurry. Let’s plan for the vacation. If a whole department goes on a break, it will be hard when a business assistance job comes in, right? Right now the business department needs to get the job, so they should leave last but the whole department goes on the vacation. Then other departments can go easy on their jobs right now, and when they come back from their breaks, they should start on the jobs that the business department got assigned. The chiefs in each departments should plan out the schedules. That’s it for today. Ah, and Director Park.”
Everyone was messily taking their work files, but Director Park. He said in a calm and soft tone.
“Like I said a while ago, finish the With Babies project properly. We don’t know where we are going to meet with them again, so finish it cleanly so that there’s no rumors. Got it? Just because the business department was busy, Director Park went there, but how could you accept this kind of plan? Thank goodness that this was just a verbal contract.”
It was a quiet and soft voice, but the story wasn’t easy at all. Director Park blushed.
“….Got it.”
“Ah, if it gets tough, request for a task whenever you want. I can just tell Assistant Manager Kim to do it. Okay? Just don’t ruin the job.”
“……”
Suddenly the meeting room got quiet, the corporation was small, except for employees who went out for work, all the employees were gathered. In that kind of a place, Director Song scolded Director Park. He even said if you can’t do it right, ask your subordinate to do it for you. Director Park’s face got really red. He couldn’t hold in his temper and his fists trembled. Director Song said.
“What are you guys doing? Go out and plan out the vacation with the chief. Director Park, go out and think about what you should do fast. Go out, go.”
All the employees went out in hurry as Director Song told them to. Director Song passed by Director Park who was frozen. Because it was lunch time, most people started to go out to eat lunch. There was a sound of female workers with weak hearts, turning around saying ‘Is he okay?’ to their colleagues. But the replies were very cold.
Kim Taeyoung stayed until the end. He clicked his tongue inside. How can he be this bad at hiding his feelings? Because the company is small, the executives are pretty young, but still there is an attitude that a position requires.
If he has the number 3 in front of his age, he should know how to go with the flow according to the places. He lacks the ability of confrontation, if he goes out of this company and move to another company, he’s the type of a person who won’t even able to go higher than a chief position.
“Should we go out?”
Taeyoung approached Director Park quietly. He wasn’t feeling good that Director Song had to compare him and him. Director Park probably doesn’t like him, but he didn’t want to see Director Park this down. It’s fun to bully a person when that person is lively.
“Let’s go out, we should eat.”
“…Okay.”
It looks like he’s not completely a child. He turned his back, but Taeyoung saw his face and laughed.
I cancel what I said earlier. On Director Park’s face, it was written ‘I’m sulking’ with his lips all sticking out.
“What….should we eat?”
“What do you want to eat, Director?”
Taeyoung asked seriously.
Other heartless employees already went out to eat by themselves. They were even happy that they don’t have to eat with Director Park.
“Should we eat *Jjajangmyun?”
“Sure then. Since you said you were gonna buy drinks this weekend, I’ll buy lunch today.”
“Huh? Okay then.”
Director Park had a face like he was thinking something.
“Then, I’m gonna eat *Liusansi.”
Taeyoung frowned at how he changed his menu as soon as Taeyoung said he’ll buy. He really wanted to slap that chubby cheeks once. But he thought he was better like this than looking all gloomy after getting scolded by Director Song, so he just sighed.
“Okay. Eat it.”
They went out of the meeting room together. He was then led by Director Park, who said he knew a good –expensive- restaurant that gives a lot.

Nothing really going on here.... Haha
*Jjajangmyun - black bean paste noodle. Soooooo good! It is Chinese Korean Cuisine. It was made by Chinese in Korea, but I heard China has something similar but they eat differently. It got changed to suit Korean people's taste.
*Liusansi (溜三絲)- A real Chinese cuisine. I don't really know this... I think I tried it a while ago. Fried seafood and vegetable with thick sauce. (Way more expensive than jjajangmyun)
