He quickly moves with a rapid footsteps while ignoring the gazes of others, the sound of these hurried steps belongs to only one person within Babylon.
Bang!
Gyeon Jirok slammed the door hard and went straight ahead.
Confidently walking to the center of the room, he plopped down on the emerald-green chair. This is the 14th-floor boss room. Thus, this seat was designated for him.
He grumbled, “Are you that free? Coming without an appointment.”
“It would make more sense to say that I couldn’t even make an appointment because I was busy, right?”
“Haa. So, why did you come?”
Various drinks arranged in a mini-bar format for guests on one side. Running his fingers through expensive liquors with a clinking sound, Jeong Gilgaon raised a bottle.
“Your birthday is on December 31st, right? I remember because it’s a unique date. So, you’re not even twenty yet, but already a heavy drinker. Impressive.”
“It’s for the guests. Leave it if you don’t like it.”
“I’m a guest too, though.”
“I won’t offer anything to an uninvited guest.”
“That’s too bad.”
“Why did you come, Director Jeong?”
“You really don’t know why, Leader Gyeon?”
Jeong Gilgaon, with a deeply furrowed brow, sighed and sat on the sofa.
“I should have gone in person.”
“Yesterday, I didn’t go in person either. Why did all the guild leaders go all the way there just to get a rookie?”
“He’s not just any rookie. He got into the top ten rank on his first entry… Isn’t that a record that even our deer prince has never been able to achieve?”
“If you’re going to speak nonsense, leave now.” Jeong Gilgaon smirked slightly.
“Do you really have no intention of handing him over to us? He hasn’t even signed the contract yet. What did he say again… He wanted a one-on-one meeting with you. What an arrogant guy…”
Gyeon Jirok turned to look at his handsome competitor with a slight smile.
“Anyway, we agreed to meet the day after tomorrow, so hold your interest. Even if I’m not really interested in Baek Dohyun, Our recruiter sincerely wants to recruit him.”
“Sasejong…”
Thinking of the troublesome face, Jeong Gilgaon grinned. The Gyeon Jirok in front of him was a born warrior, a young conqueror. If we were to compare to historical figures, he would be similar to Alexander the Great.
But this is not an era of ancient wars where people are ignorant about land grabbing.
The reason Gyeon Jirok could grow so quickly in this modern society full of underworld activities is all thanks to Sasejong. The staff officer stuck close to Gyeon Jirok with an unyielding loyalty. “I raised him as much as I could, but then he fell in love with a child and stabbed his friend in the back… It’s disappointing.”
“Hey, did you forget whose territory this is?”
A force suddenly pressing on his throat.
Inhaling the thick scent of pine, Jeong Gilgaon raised both his hands. “It’s because I feel bad for my classmate of 10 years.”
“Handle your petty quarrels later among yourselves. Don’t speak rudely in front of me.” It was a warning not to cross the line.
Coolly dismissing him, Gyeon Jirok dug around his desk. Not only did he need to concentrate on his ongoing tasks, but he also had to pretend that the unexpected visitor’s purpose was not for a trivial annoyance.
Observing his indifferent attitude, Jeong Gilgaon changed his sitting posture. Leaning to the side with his arms crossed, he rested his chin on his hands. He spoke leisurely.
“Okay. Then give me the healer.”
“Healer…? Ah… you mean Na Joyeon.”
“You should tell Sasejong to stop his underhanded work. Are we not going to conquer the 39th floor together? We should share some resources. It’s frustrating. It’s like he tries to create Babylonia in Seoul or something.”
Wow, did that Hyung even have such ambitious plans…?
It seems that the businessman didn’t just come here for no reason. With an annoyed expression, he nodded in agreement.
“Okay.”
“See, We can understand each other. But why meet the rookie around the day after tomorrow? Are you torturing the hopeful candidates? Hmmm, do I still have a chance to snatch him?”
Gyeon Jirok frowned at the shameless muttering. “I have a prior appointment! A prior schedule! Damn, stop whining about it!”
“Prior appointment? Ah.” Remembering something, Jeong Gilgaon sighed quietly.
“The people on the 11th floor?”
“Yes. Interviews start today. It’s because I’m busy.”
Even the desk worker, why did they have to resign now and create a vacancy?
Bambi complains that it overlaps with the preparation period for conquering the 39th floor. Seeing his face full of tension, Jeong Gilgaon smiled meaningfully.
“Well, I don’t know. Maybe the interview will end sooner than you think.”
“What?”
When he came here there was quite an interesting person, Jeong Gilgaon was about to try his luck.
“Young Boss!”
The door opens with a creak.
Startled, Domi, who had opened the door without knocking, flinched.
“Oh. There’s a guest. Uh, no, I think I need to go downstairs now…”
✧
The waves of sadness caused a bigger impact than expected.
Well, it’s understandable. In the history of desk jobs, an unprecedented high-spec candidate appeared, right?
It was like the appearance of a Le Cordon Bleu-trained foreign pastry chef in a neighborhood cooking class, saying, “Okay! Today, let’s make cute cupcakes.”
At least this place was one of Korea’s top five guilds, <Babylon>, with an average hunter grade that was at the top of the industry. If it were a local small guild, it would have been quite embarrassing for the guild master.
Anyway, because of that, she quickly passed the first evaluation. She also passed the second main team screening.
“…Applicant number N021. What is your reason for applying to our guild?”
Exactly 17 minutes and 51 seconds after entering the Babylon headquarters, she was sitting in front of the final interview face-to-face assessment.
‘Where am I…? Who am I…?’
Both parties were equally perplexed.
The interviewer was perplexed. The applicant was perplexed. The onlookers were perplexed. Everybody was collectively perplexed.
“…What was the question again?”
“Keheum. The motivation for applying to our guild. However, it seems like you’re overqualified for this job…”
In the midst of the fast-paced development where it was okay for confusion to arise, the interviewer, in a moment of realization, looked back at his superior with a stammering voice.
The applicant (A B-rank) used informal language, and the interviewer (A D-rank) used a super polite language, creating this strange situation. Although it was a mumble, the interviewer, seemingly in a daze, looked at his boss hesitantly.
Although <Babylon> consisted of a small elite group, it refers to the real hunter who plays on the front field.
The subordinate positions whose main job was to support them in logistics, most of them had a relatively low rank. This means that among these applicants, there is no one who has a higher qualification than the supposedly B-rank Gyeon Jioh.
‘Really, what is this girl doing?’ The head of interviews, Ma Woorim (CC-rank), looked at the applicant with a puzzled face.
Except for being quite attractive, quite imposing, and a little too lazy looking, she appeared ordinary at first glance.
‘Could it be that she’s trying to use her rank to get all the advantages?’
Unaware of the fact that he had almost perfectly inferred the truth, he gathered his courage.
‘Don’t be scared. She’s just a run-of-the-mill applicant. Let’s think of it that way.’
If he retreats here, the applicants who left in tears under the pressure of the intimidating interviewers will wail.
Ma Woorim raised his square-shaped glasses, emitting an elite vibe.
“Applicant number N021. Your resume has a lot of blanks. Do you have any experience related to the job?”
“Yes.”
“Oh, what is it?”
“I’ve sat at a desk.”
“….”
“Oh, sorry. I’ve sat at a desk for a long time.”
“….”
Next question.
“What do you think is the most important thing when performing your duties?”
“Regular working hours…?”
“….”
“Hmm. (Is that not the answer he wants) Work-life balance…?”
The continued one-sided questions and answers were useless.
Q: Despite having an outstanding resume, why do you want to do this job?
A: Voluntary talent donation.
Q: What efforts have you made to get into this place?
A: Transiting twice on the subway.
Q: If your superior gives an unfair work order, how would you handle it?
A: I don’t listen to the words of someone weaker than me.
Q: What is your ultimate life goal?
A: I don’t have any.
Everyone thought, ‘What’s up with this girl…?’
Gyeon Jioh also thought, ‘Should I just go home…?’
Then the door to the interview room opened.
Creakkk!
Ma Woorim squinted his eyes.
Oh, Our savior came to save our ruined interview…!
“You! Come out!” Gyeon Jirok declared amidst the chaos.
He quickly moves with a rapid footsteps while ignoring the gazes of others, the sound of these hurried steps belongs to only one person within Babylon.
