AHH! MIC TEST DONE! WE CHECKED THE SCREEN AND THE SOUND EQUIPMENT. YUNJEONG, HOW IS THE WIRELESS CLICKER? I'VE CHECKED IT, BUT THERE'S A SLIGHT DELAY IN SLIDE TRANSITIONING. OH, IS THAT IT? OH, I THINK... MR. GONG HAD ON E OF HIS OWN. I'LL GO ASK AND BRING THAT ONE! SHE'S REALLY FAST. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HER WHEN SHE FIRST JOINED OUR TEAM BECAUSE SHE SEEMED LISTLESS... ...BUT SHE'S ADJUSTED PERFECTLY NOW! IS IT BECAUSE THE WORK WAS HECTIC? WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT ROOM FEELS LIKE ANCIENT HISTORY. I WAS SHOCKED THAT I ACTED LIKE THAT EVEN THOUGH SOMEONE COULD'VE SEEN US... ...BUT STILL... WE WORKED SO HARD ON THIS...EVEN BY GIVING UP ON TIME TO REST ON WEEKENDS AND AT NIGHTS. WE CAN'T LET THIS LITTLE THING RUIN OUR CONDITION, YEAH? HE HAD A BONER THAT COULD RIP HIS PANTS OFF, BUT WORRIED ABOUT ME FIRST... WHAT AN IDIOT... I CAN'T WAIT TO BE DONE WITH THIS PROJECT SO I CAN HANG OUT WITH TAE-SU... OF COURSE WE'LL HAVE SEX TOO... I NEED TO MAKE SURE THIS PROJECT ENDS IN A SUCCESS TO DO THAT! MR. GONG, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! YOU SHOULD BE GETTING SOME REST, NOT DOING THIS! WHAT- DON'T TELL THE OTHERS. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME MY STOMACH WAS UPSET BEFORE A BIG PROJECT. TAE-SU...ISN'T WELL? BUT YOU LOOK AWFUL RIGHT NOW... MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD HANDLE THE PRESENTATION. WHO? YOU? SNIFFLING FROM THE FLU? OR THE OTHERS WHO CAN BARELY HANDLE A SINGLE TASK? THERE'S MS. CHA. THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT ME? IF IT'S HER... ...I'M SURE SHE'LL DO A GOOD JOB. SHE HAS A GREAT VOICE AND PRONUNCIATION. SHE'S GREAT... ...BUT I CAN'T HAVE HER ACTING LIKE SHE DID BACK WHEN SHE WAS IN THE MARKETING TEAM. HUH...? DAY OF THE PROJECT. AS EXECUTIVES AND DIRECTORS FILLED THE MEETING ROOM... ...STRATEGY TEAM 2'S WINTER PRODUCT PRESENTATION BEGAN FIRST. THAT WAS STRATEGY TEAM 2. THANK YOU. HMM... THAT WAS ALRIGHT. RETRO IS IN SEASON... THE GIANT CREAM PASTRY COULD SEEM FAMILIAR TO THE PUBLIC. BUT WHAT MATTERS ISN'T OUR OPINION... ...IT'S MR. HAN'S, SINCE HE'S FILLING IN FOR THE CHAIRMAN HERE. HAHA... WELL... ...I DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BEFORE TEAM 1 HAS HAD A CHANCE TO PRESENT. YOU'RE RIGHT! I HEARD HE'S ROOTING FOR TEAM 2. HE'S NOT EVEN TRYING TO HIDE IT. HONESTLY... ...TEAM 2'S GIANT COOKIE CHOUX PASTRY IS A BUST. THEY MAY BRING UP THE COMPANY'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY AND MEMORIES OF THE ORIGINAL CREAM PASTRY... THEY POSITIONED THE PRODUCT AS A LUXURY ITEM. THE COST IS TOO HIGH, BUT IT HARMS ITSELF FROM THE COST-EFFICIENT IMAGE OF THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT. BUT EXECUTIVES WILL WANT SOMETHING THAT SEEMS LESS LIKELY TO FAIL. I JUST HOPE MR. GONG CAME UP WITH SOMETHING GOOD. HUH? WHAT?! MR. GONG FELL? HE DID WHAT?! WHY WOULD SOMEONE YOUNG LIKE HIM FAINT? ACUTE STOMACH CRAMPS APPARENTLY. NO WONDER THE REST OF HIS TEAM WEREN'T HERE EITHER. IS HE ALRIGHT? THAT SETTLES IT. WHY DON'T WE JUST WRAP UP HERE AND GO WITH TEAM 2'S PRODUCT? WAIT. WE SHOULDN'T JUST DECIDE SOMETHING- WE'RE SORRY WE KEPT YOU WAITING. SOMETHING CAME UP THAT DELAYED US. WE'LL START THE STRATEGY TEAM 1 PRESENTATION RIGHT NOW. THE PRODUCT WE CAME UP WITH FOR THIS WINTER SEASON... ...IS "SNOWFLAKE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM." IT'S ICE CREAM THAT'S TOPPED WITH PAVE CHOCOLATE. THE WINTER SEASON IS FILLED WITH HOLIDAYS SUCH AS VALENTINE'S DAY. SO WE INCREASED THE CACAO BUTTER PERCENTAGE AND MAXIMIZED THAT THICK CHOCOLATEY TASTE THAT MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH. WE'LL USE EXISTING EQUIPMENT... SHE MUST BE NERVOUS! SHE BARELY GOT ANY PRACTICE! SO HOW IS SHE GIVING SUCH A PERFECT PRESENTATION? I'M SO GLAD SHE'S HERE. I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OVER WHEN MR. GONG COLLAPSED... MR. GONG?! ARE YOU ALRIGHT? I'M...FINE... I JUST NEED... SOME PILLS... WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! YOU'RE- OR WHAT? YOU GOT ANY BETTER IDEAS? WE WERE SPEECHLESS. CAN WE REALLY GIVE PRESENTATION AS WELL AS HE CAN... ...IN A ROOM FILLED WITH EXECUTIVES? RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO ARGUE. WE'LL DO OUR BEST EVEN IF YOU THINK WE'RE NOT RELIABLE. PLEASE JUST GO SEE A DOCTOR. WE'RE A "TEAM" AFTER ALL. THAT'S IT FOR OUR PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. I'LL BE TAKING ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE AT THIS MOMENT. THAT'S MS. CHA FOR YOU! WE JUST HAVE TO GET THROUGH THIS SEGMENT NOW! I HAVE A QUESTION. YES, PLEASE- FIRST OF ALL, GREAT WORK PREPARING ALL THIS. THIS IS BAD. I JUST KNOW HE WON'T BE ASKING EASY QUESTIONS! I'VE HEARD THAT CACAO IMPORTS ARE UNSTABLE RIGHT NOW. HOW DO YOU PLAN TO GET THROUGH THIS? MR. GONG WAS RIGHT! THEY'RE GOING TO POINT OUT THE CACAO ISSUE. RECENT CLIMATE CHANGES BROUGHT A SHORTAGE OF CACAO ALL AROUND THE WORLD. THE BEST ANSWER TO GIVE IS... REGARDING CACAO- DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE GOING TO... ...GIVE ME A TEXTBOOK ANSWER LIKE "YOU'LL TAKE CARE OF THE DEMAND ISSUE BY DIVERSIFYING THE SUPPLY METHOD." ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Nailing the Assignment #21](/series/nailing-the-assignment-1dm9ep1j/chapter-21-b32sr6) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/nailing-the-assignment-1dm9ep1j ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
