He ran towards the section chief's office.

No, he turned around and went to the deputy manager's office. The section chief had also been laid off along with Kim Gi-yeol.

The new section chief, who has just come in, probably doesn't fully grasp the gravity of the situation. If he fumbles, the report might get delayed again, and that would be the end of it.

In Lee Daesu's mind, the words the deputy manager (who was a deputy) had said after the last incident echoed.

"The tire and almond ad planning is set. After a few meetings, we'll probably get a proposal."

He was planning an ad sponsorship with Almond.

'If I mess this up again, I'm done.'

Lee Daesu squeezed his eyes shut and headed for the deputy manager's office.

Knock knock.

He gently knocked on the glass door and entered, saying,

"Sir... I received this email."

"?"

The deputy manager raised his glasses and frowned.

His expression clearly said, 'Why did you bring this to me?' Lee Daesu, expecting this reaction, clung on persistently.

"Since you're planning the Almond project... I thought it would be better to bring it to you quickly."

"Almond? Did they send an email?"

Only then did the deputy manager show interest.

From his expression, it seemed he had misunderstood it as good news.

'The content of the email isn't good, though.'

Lee Daesu, feeling awkward, scratched his head and handed over the pad.

"Hmm."

The deputy manager read it for a moment, pushing up his glasses.

I thought he would soon have a sour look on his face.

"Ugh... Hahaha? What a funny guy? Trying to pin everything on us?"

The deputy manager laughed instead.

I wasn't sure if it was a pleasant laugh, but it didn't seem to be the worst.

"What should we do?"

The deputy manager waved his hand, dismissing Lee Daesu's words.

"Almond's manager? Who is this guy? I like him."

'What exactly does he like about him?'

Lee Daesu couldn't understand.

"What? What's that look for?"

"Ah... Well, what exactly about the email do you like...?"

"Oh. Isn't it always neat and tidy, like a formal report, Mr. Lee? Compare it with the documents you send."

This is ridiculous. I just asked and got hurt.

'He must just be good at his job.'

Lee Daesu nodded, not getting any satisfaction.

"Y-Yes, sir."

"Anyway, this is a good thing, a good thing."

Good thing?

Another situation I can't understand.

They're trying to shift responsibility, and he calls it a good thing?

"Hey, Mr. Lee. I have a good idea."

"Really?"

Lee Daesu asked again, but decided to just agree since he wouldn't get any satisfaction.

"The ratings are too high. This is an AI, right? Is there a chance of an error?"

"No. It's because it could be a Flare 3."

Lee Daesu answered confidently about this part. It was indeed a part where there could be no error.

"But why all the fuss?"

"Well... Such a rating is very rare."

"Rare? Has it ever happened?"

"Yes. A player in Denmark received a Flare 4 after placement."

"Hmm..."

The deputy manager adjusted his glasses and nodded.

"Right. Then it seems we can just post a clarification and be clean. But is that all?"

"Excuse me?"

What else can we do if we don't end it here?

Isn't it just a matter of posting a clarification?

"Advertisement! Damn it! Advertisement!"

The deputy manager suddenly barked.

"Ah!"

Lee Daesu didn't understand what he was saying but pretended to be enlightened, surprised, and impressed all at once.

"I, I didn't think of that!"

What he didn't think of, he himself didn't know.

But the deputy manager seemed to know, smiling contentedly. 'That's right. That's what I meant.'

"Ah. You're always so neat and tidy, Mr. Lee. Compare it with the documents you send."

This is ridiculous. I just asked and got hurt.

'He must just be good at his job.'
