Chapter 16 - “If your wife ran away with someone, I can’t help with that though.”

In the factory.

Lee Wonho clapped his hand to get attention and then told the workers to gather around him, the workers curiously gathered around him.

"Little Won, did the boss tell you anything special?"

An older employee asked, he was one of the oldest workers in the factory and was now very happy after getting his salary on time and also the air conditioning.

They saw Wonho going to the boss's office and thought the boss had something to say or new plans about the factory.

"No, there are no new plans. The boss asked me to inform everyone that starting next month the company will bear health insurance and also assist in housing for every employee."

"So, everyone, please prepare appropriate documents in the next few days to get the benefit from the company."

Wonho said with a huge smile on his face and also looked at people for their reaction.

Everyone in the office was shocked hearing such a good thing, they can't believe the company would provide such a good benefit for them.

"Wonho, are you kidding me? We are low-wage workers, they can't provide us that. Boss won't, it doesn't make any sense."

An employee in the back said with disbelief in his tone.

"Do you think I joke around with such things?"

Wonho asked, he was not a child who'd joke around about these things.

"I guess it would be one thing if he got us cheap health insurance, but what about the house assistance? I don't understand."

"You're an idiot. The new boss has always thought about us, look at the AC."

"That's actually great, such a small company can also pay for these things?"

"Those who have left us in the last six months will regret ever doing that, kekeke."

The factory became a huge laughing ground, employees were ecstatic and very happy about it. After a while, the factory returned to calmness once again.

"Wonho, what information do we need to provide? I don't know anything about insurance, I've never had one."

"Eh! I don't know, I never filled out an insurance form either."

Should I go and ask the boss about it? No, what will he think? I can't even handle such an easy task?

"Use your phones, Internet, to get information, I can't disturb the boss who's so busy."

Wonho said every employee agreed on this matter, their boss was certainly very busy and also very kind.

Time passed slowly.

It was soon afternoon, and the office will end in an hour or so. Jin Wu, with a face full of hope, was walking towards Suho's office, then he knocked and, after getting permission, entered Suho's cabin.

"Mr. Kim, I have found workers who can renovate the outer walls. They will come tomorrow and will start working."

Jin Wu reported and waited for Suho's nod.

Suho nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Boss, I will take tomorrow half a day off. A big customer just called, they liked our factory's t-shirt. They asked me to attend in person when they order. I hope it's okay with you."

Jin Wu said he wanted to make a sale and get the factory running as well as possible.

Big Customer? Damn! Big customer means huge influx in system funds, can't let that happen, this motherfuck…

"Jin Wu, You're still so naive. I thought I had already explained it to you. I am so disappointed in you."

Suho said he was not sure what to say to stop this catastrophic event, he was trying whatever bullshit he could say.

"Eh! I am sorry. Please enlighten me once again.

Jin Wu said he was not getting this boss at all, although he was trying his best.

"I told you to focus on the internal problems first, then look for sales. Look at this pathetic chair and table I am sitting on, yours is no better. Buy the best new chair and table possible on the market."

"Mr. Kim… This… "

"I know, you're eager to make a sale, the company also needs a sale, but remember we are only in the baby steps in the company. We must fix our internal issues first. We are going to recruit new staff, and new infrastructure will be placed on many things, so hold your horses."

"I also know you're concerned about your income as well because you and Lee Wonho also get a sale bonus. Don't worry, I have tasked Wonho with tasks as well, so next month I'll give you and Wonho your salary based on your performance rather than sales."

Suho said even he felt like he was the little sage who knows everything about everything.

He also found out that System can be used like this as well, as long as he has a reasonable explanation, he can get away with it.

Jin Wu opened his mouth to argue but stopped himself, as Suho, who was his boss, also talked so much, talking now will make things awkward and disrespectful.

Later that night.

A small stand that sells burgers and chicken fries.

Jin Wu and Wonho were seated on a small bench, they had a plate full of dishes in front of them, from burgers to chicken kebabs and beer.

"What's wrong? Manager Wu, you look very worried."

Wonho took the kebab stick and gave it a bite.

"There is something that's been bothering me."

Jin Wu, who was wearing a normal T-shirt, now said.

"If your wife ran away with someone, I can't help with that though."

Wonho said with a chuckle.

"Bro! Are you kidding me?

Jin Wu said they were actually buddies, as they live in the same area.

"It's about work. Boss is assigning me odd jobs and stuff and won't let me make a sale for some reason."

Jin Wu said he then took a big burger in his hand to eat.

"It's a very small and simple thing, just do what you're told and don't worry about things which you can't control."

Wonho said casually he was more focused on eating rather than finding this a problem.

"I know, but when I look at Boss, I feel like there's something more to it, like he's always saying I am naive and all."

"Is that so? Hmm. "

Wonho ate the whole kebab in his hand and pondered about it.

"Did the boss say something about internal issues?"

Wonho suddenly asked while licking his lips.

"That's correct."

Jin Wu said he forgot to eat after hearing this line from Wonho.

"Then I think, I know the reason you feel like this."

Wonho said, then smiled mysteriously.

"Tell me now."

Jin Wu said he was desperate and eager to learn more about this.
