[Are you really talking?]

“Your son isn’t the kind of person who would say empty words twice.”

Kang Tae-han shrugged his shoulders at Ho-yeon Kang’s question. Then there was silence for a while, and then a clearing of the cough came through the receiver.

[Hmm, actually… About a month ago, there was a seat that I wanted to be okay, but.]

A word I carefully put into my mouth while being shy.

At those words, Kang Tae-han smiled. Sure enough, my father had been thinking about it too.

‘To be honest, the store right now is a bit small.’

A small shop where you have to go from alley to alley to come out.

If you put it nicely, it’s a store that’s intact with the years, but in other words, it’s a bit old and narrow.

Of course, it has its own taste and style, but… … .

In any case, because of the small number of tables, it is difficult to receive many guests at once, and it is also true that the space is a bit cramped for hand-made noodles.

And since his father is taking a new leap forward as a chef, moving to a new store to match him wouldn’t be bad in many ways, Kang thought.

Daechung Group’s subsidiary, Body Care’s new product development team.

While this new product project was in progress, overtime work continued, and even overtime work was done at intervals… … .

“hey… Will this end sooner than expected?”

“Iknow, right. Things are just progressing smoothly.”

The atmosphere at the scene wasn’t too bad.

Rather lively atmosphere. It was a situation where they were still working overtime until after midnight, but far from being tired, everyone was concentrating on their work. It was such a strange atmosphere.

A sight that is generally difficult to comprehend.

Perhaps thanks to the unraveling of a project that had been blocked, an absurd situation in which office workers were working overtime amicably was actually unfolding right in front of their eyes.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t had a cup of coffee today.”

“uh? Me too. I haven’t had a drink except what I had for dinner earlier.”

Even coffee, which I used to drink like water, is not touched! Even so, there was no sign of fatigue on the faces of the office workers.

“At this point, it’s not a massage, but a doping level.”

The man turned his head and tapped his shoulder lightly.

Originally, it was something I always struggled with when I was at work, even if I didn’t work overtime, but now it’s okay, and it was vivid enough to feel the soft elasticity.

What is the secret to managing that ridiculous physical condition… In other words, it was none other than Kang Tae-han’s massage.

Taehan Kang, who worked overtime for this development team as a technical advisor until recently. At the same time as he taught his skills and tricks step by step, he gave a massage to each employee one by one to demonstrate.

‘Your shoulders are completely stiff. In this case… … .’

He remembered the incident vividly.

The teacher then poked the inside of her shoulder with her thumb, and she felt a sensation as if a high-voltage electric current was going through her shoulder, and she was in the same state as she is now.

“I guess I should have asked you to come out a little longer… … .”

Her shoulders are now as refreshed as ever.

Even if I worked overtime like this, my condition was relieved to the point where I couldn’t budge, but when I thought of the feeling right after receiving the massage, the man seemed to have a little bit of regret.

“Ah, honestly, you’ve done your part enough, and I’m in a situation where I can’t digest the things you’ve just told me, so if you ask me to come out, it’s a waste.”

“I’m just talking empty words, well.”

To the words of a colleague scolding him from the side, the man replied in a grunting voice.

As he said, Kang Tae-han not only relieved their condition as a masseuse, but also did an excellent job as a technical advisor.

In fact, even if you receive expert advice as a technical advisor, no one can guarantee that it will actually help development.

The technology that is actually used and the technology that can be applied to products can be said to be slightly different, separate areas.

No matter how excellent craftsmanship and tricks are, there is no guarantee that they can be incorporated into products, and even if they can be grafted, there is no guarantee that the performance can be reproduced as it is.

Especially in the case of massage chairs.

Most of the techniques or tricks of experts are adjusted by ‘feel’, and most of them are inappropriate to reproduce with machines.

So, when they heard that they had hired a new technical advisor, not everyone on the team had high expectations.

I don’t know if it’s another field, but I’ve never really been able to get a lot of help from a technical advisor in the development of a massage chair. It was just an additional cost for the invitation fee.

Furthermore, I heard that I came in on the recommendation of the president, so I honestly thought that the high-ranking nobles were the ones who just brought me in without knowing the working situation.

Kang Tae-han had a different feeling.

Is it different from the range of technology you have?

Or should I say that it is well adapted to suit the situation?

When you invite a technical advisor, he tells you three or four core skills that you can get one or two a day, and even tells you who you are quite familiar with to teach, and it’s easy to understand.

Later, it may improve its own technology or teach new tricks to make it easier to incorporate into products.

In addition, it has reached the level where it tells you exactly where to point out, how much force control should be done in a specific situation, and the necessary parts when creating a sensor program.

As a result, the pace of progress has to be accelerated.

In the end, the amount of knowledge Taehan Kang taught was far ahead of the development speed, and even half of it was sufficient for new product development, so it reached a level where he no longer had to go to work.

“You practically saved this project by yourself.”

Until recently, it was a vague atmosphere with no clear development direction, but Kang Tae-han planted a clear and specific development goal there.

To implement Kang Tae-han’s technique into a massage chair.

Thanks to this, the direction of the project was clearly set, and it was a situation where they explained it well and improved existing technologies so that it could be implemented more easily.

Because of this, the project is progressing noticeably day by day, and as a result, the motivation of the employees naturally rises… Even working overtime, this passionate atmosphere could be maintained.

“Honestly, I thought it was a bit unreasonable to catch up with Relax Home with this project alone.”

Another employee who was listening next to him opened his mouth slightly.

In fact, I’m just not saying it openly, but most people in the company as well as within the team thought that way.

“I think it would be possible to implement only half of what the teacher told me.”

“i think so too.”

At his words, the man nodded slowly.

“To be honest, if I can’t beat a latecomer after receiving this kind of help, I’ll just resign and look for something else.”

“I don’t know anything else, but let’s not do things that disgrace the names of the teachers who all participated as technical advisors.”

“Yes~”

At that, everyone on the development team nodded in response.

It was a scene full of enthusiasm created by one technical advisor.

“Fuhaaa!”

A man gulps down ice water in front of the water purifier in the break room. Sweat was forming on his forehead, and he took a deep breath and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

“Wouldn’t it be bad for your body if you suddenly drank cold water?”

“Ayu, but there’s nothing like ice water at times like this.”

Another masseuse, Seonghun Kim, who was watching him from the side, jokingly threw a word, and the man smiled as he lightly shook the ice cup.

“You must have worked hard, you sweat all over.”

“I received guests three times in a row… Ah, is it because the work is hard or if my stamina is running out?”

The man said while stretching his shoulders.

“Not to mention the director, I wondered if it would be worth it since the craftsmen course teachers worked almost non-stop, but ah, it’s not easy to see.”

“Three times in a row is tough, right?”

At those words, Kim Seong-hoon let out a smile.

To put it bluntly, massage is quite a lot of work. It’s just that director Kang Tae-han, who works non-stop, is strangely full of energy, and the masseuses of the artisan course, including himself, tend to take a break for about 30 minutes to receive three consecutive sessions.

‘Honestly, receiving three people in a row is great.’

If you think about it differently, wouldn’t it mean that you are motivated enough to make such an attempt? And I could see that there were customers looking for him as well.

Seonghun Kim glanced at the man drinking the ice water again.

A general course masseuse who has been coming to Cheonma Massage for about two months now. However, comparing it to when I just entered the store, I felt more motivated and more muscular.

‘Well, is this normal enough… … .’

It was a remarkable growth, and if it was another massage parlor, it would have been a remarkable talent.

In fact, most of the people here at Cheonma Massage were like this.

In Kang Tae-han’s classes held twice a week, the overall skills of the masseuses were steadily improving, and naturally, from their motivation to their attitude to work, they were automatically leveled upward.

‘The director is a person who sets an example for others.’

example of others. It’s an expression that could only be used on a citation given at school when I was young, but Kang Tae-han was the perfect match for that word.

Anyone who wants to learn will teach them, and after work, they will take the lead in exercising… In addition, the working conditions and rest environment are good, so naturally, employees have no choice but to follow.

“Ah, come to think of it, did Mr. Kim decide what to do on vacation?”

“vacation? Well… … .”

A three-day vacation scheduled for next week or so.

Originally, masseuses take two days off a week in rotation, but that day is a period to close the shop and take a break.

It looks like he plans to take a vacation like this once a quarter in the future. Of course, they don’t take reservations, and masseuses whose days were originally holidays can be put on the back and rest a little longer.

“Shall we go see the sea after a long time?”

“I guess you like the sea?”

“It’s like that. if not… Like going to a mountain climbing event to promote friendship with the massage parlor family?”

Seonghun Kim speaks in a playful voice.

He naturally thought of a reaction that he would not like.

“Five! That’s nice too! Then, will the director come too?”

“Joe, do you like it?”

“Actually, I don’t like mountain climbing very much… Thinking of going with the director makes me look forward to it again.”

Rather, seeing the man expressing his interest, Kim Seong-hun was slightly frightened without even realizing it.

‘I’m almost a fan at this point… … .’

but. At the point of following to exercise after work, it is already out of the category of general thoughts. Kim Seong-hoon, who belatedly recalled the fact, nodded slowly with a slightly frightened expression.

* * *

“Five. Here it is, Mr. Kang!”

As Kang Tae-han looked around the cafe, he waved his hand as if someone was waiting for him in the back seat.

Kang Tae-han slowly approaches it. Then, as if welcoming, the man greeted Kang Tae-han by pulling out a chair across from him.

“Thank you so much for taking the time today.”

“It was nothing. More than that, are you fluent in Korean?”

“Haha, I came to Korea as an exchange student when I was young. Do you know Korea University? I have been there.”

A foreigner with a face he has never seen before.

He seemed to be of the Indian side, but his voice was so fluent that it seemed like a Korean with poor pronunciation.

Could it have been a little conversation?

While the topic was cut off for a moment, he lightly wiped his mouth with a tissue and carefully brought up the main topic.

“Actually, I came to see you today as the representative of the president of our company.”

“Um… Is that so.”

He is the CEO of an Indian company.

There is nothing to pinpoint. When Kang Tae-han answered in a slightly questionable voice, the other person opened his mouth as if to add.

“Um, more precisely… I should say that he came not as the president of the company, but as the representative of the owner of Everton FC.”

Speaking of Everton FC, it is a team that has a relationship with Kang Tae-han.

Kang Joo-wan and Godwin got massages from him, especially Godwin and I had pork belly and a glass of soju.

Kang Tae-han, who was finally able to read the flow of the conversation, nodded slowly.

“Then what did you come to Everton FC for?”

“Oh, my boss is very satisfied with the team’s performance these days.”

The man rummaged through the briefcase lying next to him.

“Then you overheard the story about the teacher from two players, Juwan and Godwin… He felt deeply grateful and wanted to express some of it. therefore… He said he really wants to invite you to Liverpool.”

At the same time, he took out the tablet PC from his bag and pushed it forward. As if it had been prepared in advance, there was a wonderful view of a resort.

“Hmm… … .”

It’s a resort I’ve never seen before since I’m in the UK, but looking back, it’s definitely a good resort.

Kang Tae-han looked at the man with the tablet PC in his hand and hinted.

“So, what do you really want?”

“haha… No big deal.”

There must be a purpose to this favor. When Kang Tae-han asked a question, the man shook his hands and said in a light voice.

“The teacher was comfortable and treated like a VIP while resting… When you have time, you can look at the players’ bodies for about four or five hours. Of course, we will pay for it separately, of course.”

“… I got it roughly.”

In other words, it was an ultra-long-distance business trip under the pretext of resting at a resort. Kang Tae-han nodded and slowly started to flip through the screen of the tablet PC again.

Let’s go to the back, in addition to the panoramic view of the resort, brief information about the schedule was written in Korean.

‘It’s a private plane from Korea to England… … .’

It was hard to know how much hospitality the resort had by reading the text, but just looking at the part about moving by private plane, it was almost the level of being taken.

While looking at the screen so slowly.

Kang Tae-han, who was carefully looking at a certain part, a possible date, put the tablet PC down on the table and asked the man.

“Can other people accompany me?”

“Yes, of course. If only the teacher came to the resort alone, how would that be a vacation? If there is anyone who wants to come with the teacher, it is possible.”

“I can’t give you a definitive answer right now, but… There may be a few more people.”

Kang Tae-han pointed to the calendar on the screen and smiled. From Monday to Wednesday, it was the day when Cheonma Massage’s vacation was scheduled.

Overseas resort full service provided only to those who wish during the vacation period. It was a moment when Cheonma Massage might have unconventional employee welfare.
