HAN DO-YEONG?! WHAT IS HE DOING ON THIS FLOOR? HELLO, DIRECTOR HAN. I DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE. OH, I HAD SOME BUSINESS ON THIS FLOOR. DOORS CLOSING. YOU'RE GOING TO THE MARKETING DEPARTMENT, RIGHT? OH, THANK YOU. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR WITH JUST HIM. THE HAN DO-YEONG I KNOW... ...IS A PERFECTIONIST WHO PRIORITIZES EFFICIENCY AND RATIONALITY, DESPITE HIS KIND APPEARANCE. HE'S WELL-KNOWN TO HAVE A GOOD READ ON PEOPLE... AND UTILIZE THEM PERFECTLY WHERE THEY FIT BEST. IT'S GETTING A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE BEING HERE WITH JUST HIM. YOU'RE GONG TAE-SU, TEAM LEADER OF STRATEGY TEAM 1, RIGHT? OH. YES, SIR. THAT'S ME. HOW IS HEE-SEO... I MEAN, MS. CHA DOING? "HEE-SEO?!" MS. CHA... ...FITS RIGHT INTO OUR TEAM AND DOES A GREAT JOB WITH THE WORK I GAVE HER, THANKS TO HER EXPERIENCE IN OTHER TEAMS. SHE ALSO HAS OUTSTANDING INITIATIVE, WHICH HELPS WITH MORALE. SHE MUST'VE BEEN GREAT WHEN SHE WORKED FOR THE MARKETING TEAM. I DIDN'T THINK A DIRECTOR SUCH AS YOURSELF WOULD ASK ABOUT HER SPECIFICALLY. OH. IS THAT WHAT THIS SEEMED LIKE? SHE AND I WENT TO SCHOOL TOGETHER, SO I WAS JUST WORRIED ABOUT HER FITTING IN... IF YOU WORRY JUST A BIT MORE, YOU MIGHT CREATE A NEW TEAM FOR HER ENTIRELY. SHE ALWAYS BROUGHT ENERGY WHEREVER SHE WENT. THAT'S WHY I WAS A BIT DOWN WHEN SHE WAS TRANSFERRED. THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HARD-WORKING... ...BUT NOT MANY HAVE THE ABILITY TO ALSO MOTIVATE THOSE AROUND THEM. ... YOU'RE RIGHT. SHE'S A GREAT HELP TO ME. WHAT...? HE HAS A MORE ACCURATE EVALUATION OF HEE-SEO THAN I THOUGHT. ALTHOUGH... SHE HAS BEEN WORKING UNDER HIM EVER SINCE SHE JOINED THIS COMPANY, SO MAYBE IT'S ONLY NATURAL THAT HE KNOWS HER LIKE THIS. ALTHOUGH... BUT... ...IF HE'S SO FOND OF HER, WHY WAS SHE SENT TO MY TEAM? EVEN IF THE HIGHER-UPS ISSUED HER TRANSFER... ...SOMEONE IN HIS POSITION COULD EASILY HAVE STOPPED IT. I'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT YOU FROM EVERYONE HERE. YOUR FAME AS THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY IS WELL-DESERVED. AND IT'S NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU FINE-TUNE PRODUCTION OR RESEARCH THE MARKET. I HEARD INTERNAL RESISTANCE WAS STRONG WHEN YOU CAME UP WITH THAT BUTTERED BISCUIT PRODUCT... BUT YOU CHANGED EVERYONE'S MIND WITH YOUR PRESENTATION. I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT MS. CHA'S NEW TEAM IS A GOOD ONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMPLIMENTS, SIR. WHY IS HE SAYING ALL THIS? HE'S ACTING LIKE HEE-SEO'S DAD... YOU SEEM LIKE A HUMBLE MAN. IT GIVES ME GREAT HOPE. HUH? I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MS. CHA BECOME SUCCESSFUL, JUST LIKE YOU, MR. GONG. SO THIS IS WHAT THIS PRICK WAS PLANNING FROM THE START...! HAA... I'M MORE EXHAUSTED THAN WHEN I WAS RUNNING LOW ON YANG ENERGY. I DID SAY I'D LET HIM DO IT WHENEVER HE WANTED... ...BUT ISN'T THIS A BIT TOO MUCH?! THE OTHER DAY, WHEN WE WERE COMING BACK FROM AN EXTERNAL MEETING... HUH, MR. GONG? YOU DIDN'T BRING YOUR CAR, DID YOU? GET IN. LET'S HAVE LUNCH TOGETHER BEFORE WE HEAD BACK. THEN WE GOOFED OFF TOO MUCH, WHICH LEAD TO KISSING... ...AND HIS YANG ENERGY TURNED ME ON... TAE-SU...DO YOU HAVE A CONDOM? ...SO I LEFT MY LAPTOP BAG... ...IN HIS CAR... Is this what you're looking for? Yeah! I don't need it righ WHEW... I THOUGHT I LOST IT... I'll bring it to you right now. Just give me a second. RIGHT NOW?! ...THEN I INVITED HIM IN, BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T BE PROPER MANNERS TO JUST TAKE MY STUFF THEN SEND HIM HOME. I-I'M... ...I'M CUMMING...!!! NOT TO MENTION WE DID IT IN A CONFERENCE ROOM LAST TIME...! TWISTED MEMORIES(?) HAA... I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME. I KNOW I SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS... BUT I FEEL A STRANGE SENSE OF LIBERATION WHENEVER I DO IT WITH TAE-SU. IT'S LIKE I'VE GONE BACK TO A TIME WHEN I COULD FOOL AROUND WITHOUT A WORRY IN MY HEART. BUT WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE... ...HE'S BEING A LOT CUTER LATELY? IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S A PUPPY EXPRESSING HIS AFFECTION. "AFFECTION...?" WAIT... DID HE CATCH FEELINGS FOR ME? NO... I MUST BE GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF. BUT STILL... HE WOULDN'T NEED TO ACT THAT WAY IF IT WAS JUST ABOUT TAKING CARE OF HIS NEEDS! THE ONLY WAY THIS MAKES ANY SENSE IS IF HE LIKES ME! WHAT IF HE DID CATCH FEELINGS FOR ME? ...CHA? IF HE REALLY DOES KE ME- MS. CHA! Y-YES...? CAN WE TALK FOR A MINUTE? WHAT DOES HE WANT TO TALK ABOUT?! I READ THE PROPOSAL YOU SENT ME... ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO GO WITH THIS? THE PER-UNIT PRICE SEEMS A BIT HIGH. YOU ALSO KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO MANAGE DISTRIBUTION AND INVENTORY IF THE CREAM RATIO IS HIGH, RIGHT? YES, SIR. THAT'S WHY I'M PLANNING TO SELL THIS MAINLY IN CONVENIENCE STORES... AND UTILIZE A LUXURY PRODUCT STRATEGY. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT NOTHING. THE PRODUCT I CAME UP WITH IS A REMAKE OF THE FAMOUS "GIANT CREAM BREAD." SINCE IT'S MEANT FOR WINTER... ...I CHOSE A SNOW-LIKE CREAM THAT COULD REMIND THE CUSTOMERS OF THE SEASON. IT'S GOT LOW SUGAR, HIGH PROTEIN, AND LOTS OF FIBER. THE CREAM RATIO IS HIGHER THAN THE ORIGINAL BREAD... ...AND THE LUXURIOUS FEEL IS WHAT I CHOSE AS IT'S MAIN SELLING POINT. THAT WAY, IT APPEALS TO YOUNGER GENERATIONS, TOO. A "LUXURY" PRODUCT... IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. PARDON? WHAT JUSTIFIES A HIGH PRICE TO THE CUSTOMERS IS HOW "NEW" THE EXPERIENCE THAT COMES WITH THE PRODUCT FEELS TO THEM. SIMPLY INCREASING HOW MUCH CREAM IS IN IT DOESN'T FEEL ALL THAT DIFFERENT. WHICH MEANS THEY'LL ONLY FIND OUT AFTER THEY'VE TAKEN A BITE. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE THEM BUY THIS BREAD? WELL... IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE IF WE TELL THE EXISTING FANS OF THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA- MS. CHA. YOU USED TO BE IN MARKETING. YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS ALREADY. CATCHING THE EYES OF CUSTOMERS AT THE FIRST GLANCE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF SALES. IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO COME UP WITH PRODUCTS THAT BLINDLY FOLLOW WHATEVER IS TRENDING, JUST TO RELY ON MARKETING TO SELL THEM...YOU CAN JUST STOP HERE. YOU'LL DISAPPOINT YOU AND EVERYONE AROUND YOU. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Nailing the Assignment #14](/series/nailing-the-assignment-1dm9ep1j/chapter-14-pvkbfv) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/nailing-the-assignment-1dm9ep1j ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
