Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 269
88. Attack on the Walnut (2)
Today, the employees of Stronghold’s marketing department were all in a state of extreme tension.
This is because the chairman’s eldest son, who is virtually confirmed to be the successor, must meet the vice president directly.
In fact, one manager, Koo Jin-mo, had never seen the vice president, let alone the president.
It was my first time seeing the marketing manager, who had been acting so fiercely, almost shaking and nervous.
Since he is a guy who is very good at the one thing he craves for those below him, those above him are afraid of him.
Only then does Gu Jin-mo remember a very ordinary truth.
As someone who was scared and had difficulty with the manager every day, I couldn’t imagine where he would go and be like this.
In this way, humans were truly animals.
When a person of a higher class appears, all ego personality disappears and only the response from the spine dominates the body.
As a lower class person, I couldn’t even predict that. These are things that were completely invisible in the reality surrounding him.
“Oh, he’s coming!”
That is how the highest rank of this organization appears.
thud.
It felt like the vibration made by my shoes getting out of the car actually made a sound.
The vice president was neither a giant nor a man of great physique, but he looked unusually huge.
Gu Jin-mo couldn’t even look at his face for no reason.
The manager ran ahead and hit him.
“What are you doing! men and horses! Follow me!”
“Oh yeah. yes.”
Surprisingly, the reason he took the step himself was because of an employee who had already left the company.
I came all the way here to take a photo with him.
A photo zone and a conference hall decorated with colorful flowers were set up in front of a foundation building affiliated with Asung.
Paang!
The first flash went off and countless other reporters’ camera shutters began to click.
click! click!
Numerous executives and employees followed behind him.
Bodyguards formed a line outside with their arms spread out to protect the place.
Even though no one dared to cross that line, they seemed to desperately defend it.
The vice president walked to his destination with many cheers and protection.
At that destination stood the old temple of Asung.
Here, Gu Jin-mo witnessed an amazing scene.
“….”
As soon as the vice president saw him, he smiled and greeted him.
It is not a greeting with a wave of the hand, but a very slight, but light greeting that is similar to that given between fellow employees by bowing down.
He must have been embarrassed, too, and bent his back at a 90-degree angle.
The camera didn’t miss it and fired its flash.
Gu Jin-mo didn’t really need that kind of flash.
There was no reason to take a photo.
It seemed like he would remember this scene for almost his entire life.
“under.”
The vice president approached him, extended his hand, shook his hand, and then smiled as he placed his arm around his shoulder.
There was no pretense or unnecessary seriousness in that smile.
Ku Jin-mo was able to read the vice president’s expression thanks to the many tricks he had learned so far.
‘amazing.’
He was just curious.
The person in front of him now was not Kim Joo-hyuk, a former employee of Asung, but the CEO of a company that was in charge of managing the national competition team that was attracting the public’s attention.
The fact that he was a former employee of Asung was no longer a label or something to brag about, but was just a curiosity.
Gu Jin-mo turned his head and looked at the manager standing next to him.
“….”
His expression was no different from Gu Jin-mo’s.
It is painful to see someone who was clearly in the same position as you, or even in a much lower position, ascending to another world far away.
It is especially painful for people of the manager’s age.
They end up prevaricating it like this to protect themselves.
“Be patient. After all, a golden spoon is different no matter what you do? “What a world.”
“…haha.”
Gu Jin-mo just burst into laughter without any meaning.
Even though he wanted to say more, his brain was broken by unknown emotions and he couldn’t speak.
Then, someone came and helped.
This is Manager Park of the trade team.
“That’s right~ Huh? The world is really good for people who are rich in fish oil. “Go study abroad and study English comfortably. Well, the vice president, too.”
Tsk.
Director Park hesitates to say anything more about the vice president, perhaps because he is displeased.
Even in this situation, the perseverance in maintaining the superior-subordinate relationship is certainly worthy of imitation as a member of society. Gu Jin-mo thought so.
However, when the vice president gestures somewhere, the expressions on the two managers’ faces become even more distorted.
“Please come. Let’s take a picture together.”
“Me too?”
“yes. hurry.”
What the vice president pointed to was Sanghyun, who was taking Joo Hyuk’s photo in front.
Although he is a huge celebrity now, taking a picture with the Vice President was originally unplanned.
He is only one of the players on the national team, and it is Kim Joo-hyuk, the management, who represents the entire team invested in.
This only happened because the vice president found the almonds and thought that the picture would be better if they were taken together.
After being singled out, Sanghyun went up to the stage and awkwardly shook hands.
I followed his lead and draped my shoulders.
“I enjoyed it. game.”
“Thank you.”
“Please beat China too.”
“…yes!”
Sanghyun nodded loudly with an expression on his face that seemed to have touched him.
click!
This scene must have been captured in one of the countless camera flashes.
A flash of flash and fans cheering for a star named Almond.
And the vice president’s bright smile.
The two managers had to just watch from a distance, feeling indescribable emotions.
However, his mouth cannot remain still and he spits out.
“You know, being good at games is a government position. “Be patient.”
“That’s ridiculous. “Forget it.”
All of these events that occurred here were meticulously recorded by numerous reporters.
[Asung Civil M becomes the main sponsor of the “National Competition” and is “on track to hold the professional league”]
[Two “Asung men” who left the company to pursue their dreams join hands with the company again]
[E-sports stocks stir. Is there a new revival?]
Among the many articles by these many reporters, the story of Koo Jin-mo and the two managers was nowhere to be found.
In it, it is a story about two young people with many dreams who made a golden comeback, an analysis that Asung’s re-entry into e-sports is marketing as a relief pitcher for being defeated by China in the League of Legends Cup, and predictions about the national competition against China, etc.
All kinds of stories were described, and the content was all different depending on the personality of the reporter and the tendency of the platform.
Their story was not written anywhere.
Oh, of course…
– Those same gamers have become successful hahahaha
└ㄹㅇㅋ In a country of gamers who give you exemption from military service if you are good at games, what the heck haha
– Kim Joo-hyuk is said to be a famous gold digger. Coming off as a self-made man is a bit…
└ㄹㅇ??
└Everyone who used to go to the castle knows. My father is the CEO of a very successful medium-sized company.
-I know it’s doing well. This seems a bit crazy
– it eventually changes as it pops haha and Asung haha Ugh…
└Why Asung???
└What do you mean,
this guy ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ └Don’t you understand that I’m talking about big companies taking dirty money?
└Wow, this guy is seriously ill;
There were countless stories written about the two managers in the comments.
These stories are strange enough that they were not published in the text, mentioned anywhere, or revealed as facts.
In their private comment window world, it was the same truth as the Bible.
* * *
Immediately after filming with the Vice President.
“and. saw? uh?”
Sang-hyeon continues to talk to Joo-hyuk as if his excitement has not subsided.
This was the first time Joo-hyuk realized how talkative this guy was.
“I wasn’t going to go. like this. “I just did this…”
The point was that he had no intention of taking a picture, but the vice president personally pulled him in and took a picture.
This isn’t some kind of female contestant on a dating survival show who brags about attracting popular men.
“okay. I saw it too. I’m telling you this in case you don’t know that I was right 3 cm next to you. I had no choice but to see it. The vice president knows you. He was your fan. I thought you would buy an almond hat too. Are you done?”
“Wow…”
After hearing the answer he wanted, Sanghyun turned to the fake national team camera crew and said, “Did you see it? He started saying the same thing, “I was just…”
“That bastard. “I didn’t stay in the stronghold for five years for nothing.”
Since you like Asung executives so much, doesn’t that make you stick with it no matter how bad your company life is? I even think so.
Be that as it may, the fake national team camera crew was pointing the camera close to him and taking photos of the excited almond.
On the contrary, it seemed to encourage it further.
Well, if they do something like this, it will be good to get some broadcast time.
With that in mind, I’m about to leave this place.
‘uh.’
He encounters familiar faces.
Joo-hyuk’s eyes instinctively turned to Sang-hyeon.
Sanghyeon was still talking to the fake national team and didn’t notice at all.
Why?
If it had been normal, I would have at least said hello.
For some reason, it felt like that couldn’t be possible.
I thought it would be better not to tell Sanghyun.
They must have thought the same thing, so they hurriedly left the place without even making eye contact.
“….”
Joo-hyuk paused for a moment, watching the three white shirts moving away.
For some reason, those times seem to overlap again.
That long hallway inside the company.
The hallway where we were told that losers have no choice but to understand everything.
At the time, Joo Hyuk resisted those words.
But cowardly, he nods this time.
He may not have been able to say this when he was in the opposite situation, but it was something he couldn’t help but say.
“okay. “We just won.”
* * *
In fact, the good news for the company Mix Nuts did not end here.
As the day of the game against China was getting closer, it was time for the public to talk more.
People talked about the national competition at work, at school, and even with their families while sitting on the sofa.
“Are we sure we can beat China?”
“Honestly, it’s a bit difficult. “If there’s an advantage… there are two commanders?”
“They say that in China, all 200 people are first-term.”
“If we go to five games, we will never win. Look at the difference between Japan and China’s power rankings. Also, what about the player pool?”
“But won’t Joseon do something?”
Since this kind of talk is being exchanged offline as well, it would not be an exaggeration to say that only posts about the match between China and Korea are posted online all day long.
Above all, the place where the most noticeable change occurred was AllTube.
Until now, other than fake national content or game-related channels, not many stories related to national competition have been posted on AllTube.
Several nationalistic channels began to post stories related to the national war.
The so-called ‘gukppong’ line now mentions national competition.
[3 reasons why Joseon has no choice but to beat China]
[Why 200 works will be added to the Mystery of the Human Body exhibition next month]
[Did Joseon really lose to China in the past? Let’s find out the facts]
[The reason why Japan is excited about the team’s victory in the current Civil M national competition]
[The national competition team’s actions are shocking to Japan and applauded by Europe]
, etc.
Although it was based on facts, it was centered on very hopeful(?) observations in line with the channel’s concept.
-ㅠㅠNow there is someone who says the right things
– Right; Is there any way that Joseon could lose to China? LOL
– 200 Mysterious Mysteries Mㅁㅊ LOL
-ㄹㅇㅋ Wouldn’t it be the same if it were 200 to 200?~
In its own way, this was quite effective in quelling people’s anxiety.
Grumble.
Joo-hyuk, who was scrolling down, made an annoyed sound.
“Hmm… That Jeongdunga.”
In fact, as someone who runs a national competition team, most of the things he did not sympathize with.
But—
‘Huh?’
Among these, what caught Joo Hyuk’s eye was something that was perhaps a little different from the national competition.
-It’s not that Japan was shocked, but the reaction to Almond
in Japan was crazy haha. -It seemed like Almond would really take off in Japan
. -The face is mine. Even though it looks small, a Japanese fandom has been created haha. They
say that the reaction to Almond is coming from Japan. It was.
It was just a few insignificant comments, but…
‘Does this… seem real?’
His entrepreneurial intuition, where everything seems to be money these days, made his heart beat.
