Episode 104 Growing Pains (2)

[Honesty is the surest capital.]

Lim Jin-ho, a real estate agent belonging to the large real estate agency Muso ‘Storm’, looked at the text on his monitor.

even.

“Honesty is the surest capital.”

He read the words in a low voice.

When he started his real estate brokerage business, he proudly put his aspirations on it.

Even when he first printed out those words and put them on the monitor, he was determined to succeed as a real estate agent while living an honest life as written on paper.

However.

Now, after two years had passed, his resolve was shaking.

because.

“Mr. Jinho. Just bring me two cups of coffee.”

“uh? Jinho. Bring us too.”

“We’re Tedung and Yulmucha. thanks!”

It was because this was the result of living according to the motto.

“Whoa.”

Lim Jin-ho sighed.

Most sales jobs would be like that, but experience or age did not apply to this floor.

It is the very thing that makes a person’s position on this floor…

Performance!

That was all.

Therefore, even a certified real estate agent who is disguised as a sole proprietor must have accumulated a certain amount of performance before being treated as a human being.

Im Jin-ho clenched his fist and looked around.

Then he saw real estate agents consulting with customers.

Maws on land that pierce their prey and gnaw their tongues.

I just wanted to say, ‘You take it and eat it!’

Let’s look at the figure of a real estate agent with his eyes wide open from one side.

“Yes, I will take it soon!”

He nodded and had to get up from his seat.

Last month, Jinho Lim had only 3 one-room contracts.

This month he’s been sucking his finger for 10 days without even that.

So, he had to do chores like making coffee in order to preserve even his desk in the office.

‘Hey, it’s my duty.’

Im Jin-ho got up from his seat and went to the bathroom and made coffee.

I was thinking about spitting it in the car.

He didn’t even think it would make him feel any better if he did.

and after a while.

Lim Jin-ho, holding the tea on a tray, slowly approached the people.

OK.

“boss. You should know that being able to buy this property at this price is a great fortune for the owner. If it were any other time, it would never come out at this price…”

It was seen that the real estate agent, who had applied pomade and turned his hair all white, was roasting and boiling the customer with his dazzling skills.

Lim Jin-ho, who put coffee in front of them, looked at the customer.

Apparently, he was a person who bought a commercial building with his severance pay and was trying to earn rental income.

It seemed to me that he was trying to come to his senses and try to understand what Pomade was saying.

that’s all he can say

“Ummm… then how much will the monthly rent be?”

It was only to some extent.

de facto defeat.

He said that if the rent met my expectations, I would sign a contract.

After hearing that, Pomade opened his mouth with a smile.

“Hey, don’t worry about rent. I don’t know if you saw it when you came, but there’s a subway station right next to it, and there’s a food alley right in front of it. So···.”

It was verbose, but without a clear substance.

A vague way to mislead the person in front of you.It was a word that could not be held responsible later.

But.

The middle-aged man who was listening to that just nodded his head as if plausible.

Im Jin-ho wanted to grab the nodded middle-aged man’s collar and throw it out of the office if he could.

It was because he was well aware that the commercial building that Pomade was about to sell was already changing its tenth owner.

“Phew.”

Im Jin-ho sighed and moved to his seat.

Perhaps, the job of an employee of a real estate agent here in ‘storm’ might not be suitable for him, whose motto is ‘honesty’.

If it were, he would never have done such a thing.

But then.

jingle-

The office door opened and a pair of men and women entered the office.

And that moment.

“her···.”

“Hey…”

“Wow···.”

A faint sigh escaped the people’s mouths.

It was because the appearance of the two people entering the office was very impressive.

A woman with a neat atmosphere in a pure white blouse and an H-line skirt.

A gentle man wearing a cardigan in simple slacks.

At the appearance of their appearance that they could even believe they were celebrities, the person in the office looked at them with a blank expression.

‘Are you filming any drama?’

Similar thoughts ran through the minds of those who looked at them.

That was because their appearance and atmosphere were overwhelming.

Entering the office, they looked around, waiting for someone to guide them.

But.

None of the brokers approached them.

because.

‘Yes, it’s an officetel or an apartment charter.’

It was because the two were not attractive targets from the point of view of the brokers.

Although their appearance was surprisingly good.

Customers in their mid to late 20s at a large authorized brokerage that mainly trades more than 300 million properties were those whose commissions were too small for the effort they put in.

But it can’t be ignored outright, so to speak, is it a gyreuk?

So everyone pretended not to know, or pretended to be busy, avoiding the gaze of men and women.

Then two men.

The expressions of Junyoung and Eunsol, who came to see a realtor because of the ‘academy expansion plan’, became increasingly hard.

But then.

“Hello. Come this way.”

Im Jin-ho approached Jun-young and Eun-sol with a smile.

Then he politely greeted them and offered them a seat.

It was impossible for him to cover the guests in his dictionary.

‘Well, I’m not in a position to cover guests.’

Perhaps thanks to Im Jin-ho’s guidance, Jun-young and Eun-sol, who had been hardened, relaxed slightly.

Im Jin-ho, who guided them to their seats, slowly opened his mouth.

“A lot of good properties have come out these days for newlyweds. As well as buying and selling, we also deal with jeonse and monthly rent, so just tell us your budget and I will find the best place for you.”

OK.

“Yes?”

“Yes?”

Junyoung and Eunsol asked with bewildered expressions.

Seeing their expressions, Im Jin-ho tilted his head and opened his mouth.

“Ah? Aren’t you two looking for a new home?”

Junyoung smiled bitterly at his words and opened her mouth.

“You seem to have misunderstood something. We’re not like that. Just a co-worker.”

In an instant, Eunsol’s gaze reached Junyoung and then fell.

However, Jun-young, who was looking at Im Jin-ho, did not know that.

Only Im Jin-ho, who was looking at them, only made a shaky expression.

“Ah… that’s it… I made a big mistake. So what kind of property are you looking for?”

Lim Jin-ho asked.

Junyoung opened her mouth with a smile.

“Is there anything for sale at a large academy?”

Then the eyes of the people in the office turned to them.

* * *

bruise-

As I walked down the alley following the sound of Im Jin-ho’s footsteps.

A building that seemed to have put a lot of effort into building it for the first time caught Junyoung’s eyes.

And soon.

[Building rush sale 010-XXXX-3256 Target type of business: private institutes, hospitals…]

I saw a banner hanging on the front door of the building.

If you look closely, you can see that the banner has been torn in the wind, probably because it had been hanging for quite some time.

Joon-young’s gaze slowly rose.

OK.

[Jung Academy]

In the middle, there was a sign with one letter missing.

A large academy that was originally called Jeongbon Academy.

No, to be precise, the place that used to be a large academy.

It was a place where countless students stayed up all night, bled their nosebleeds, and burned their dreams of going to college.

However.

Now, it was just a common waste building with no director, instructors, or students.

Only a fragment of the ‘Bon’ sign placed under the broken glass door spoke of the glory of the past.

“How are you? Even if this place looks like this now, it was a place where people flocked to a huge number until a few years ago…”

Im Jin-ho approached Jun-yeong, who was looking up at the building, and said,

Then Junyoung nodded his head and opened his mouth.

“I know. It’s where I worked for a while when I was in college.”

At his words, Jinho Lim made a slightly surprised expression.

“Oh, it was. Good for you. It’s better than not knowing at all.”

Jun-young nodded at Im Jin-ho’s words.

Then he looked around and recalled the memories of his past.

past.

In the early 2000s, when Junyoung was working part-time here.

In this area, there were more than 10 entrance examination academies with 700 to 800 students or more.

At that time, the entire eight-story building was used as an academy to handle the influx of students, or some of the nearby shopping malls were all converted and used as academies.

Those days.

Each academy runs more than 10 buses to and from school.

It was a time when lecturers from well-known hagwons would come to listen to lectures by 500 to 700 people in the morning or at night once they opened a lecture.

Therefore, the principals and instructors of the academy who remember that time called those days like this.

The early days of the school district.

A time when it was ridiculous to take around 10 million won a month even if you only had a bachelor’s degree from a reputable university.

When you set up a PC room near a large academy, you opened the 2nd and 3rd stores in no time.

There was a time when you had to get a numbered ticket to eat a row of gimbap at a nearby snack shop.

That was the time.

But.

In recent years, the appearance of the entrance examination school has completely changed.

Just a few years ago, places boasting a nationwide network and competing for first or second place in the industry.

All local representative schools.

Closing of business, closure of business, closure of business, closure of business, closure of business, closure of business, closure of business, closure of business, closure of business, closure of business, closure of business, closure of business …

Most of them were closed.Joon-young looked around with bitter eyes.

Although she had old memories of her, it was because she was sad to see the academy she attended was in ruins like this.

“Well, then, why don’t we stop here and go inside? Although it looks a bit bleak from the outside, the inside has been maintained and is still usable.”

Im Jin-ho looked at Jun-young and said.

Hearing those words, Joon-young nodded his head.

Even in the place where I worked in the past, almost 10 years have already passed, so I thought it would be good to check the inside.

Then Lim Jin-ho loosened the chain hanging on the front door of the academy and guided Jun-yeong and Eun-sol.

Pass the front door that was so tightly closed.

I climbed the stairs full of students’ graffiti.

Soon he was able to reach the office where he had previously worked.

click-

As I opened the door to the classroom, old dust rose.

“How are you? Do you have any memories?”

Lim Jin-ho asked Jun-young.

Joon-young glanced around the classroom.

There were things that I vaguely remembered, but it was so long ago that my memory is hazy.

“well. It’s been too long…”

“Actually, it’s been well over 7 years since this academy went out of business, so it’s good enough. Now, where shall we go next?”

When Jin-ho Lim asked, Jun-young looked at him.

Come to think of it, there was a place he wanted to visit at least once when he was working part-time.

“Where is the director’s office?”

Joon-young asked.

“Oh, where was the director’s office? Please wait a moment.”

Im Jin-ho frowned with an expression that he did not immediately remember.

It was a fairly large school, so I didn’t seem to remember it easily.

But then.

“The director’s office is at the end of the hallway on the fourth floor.”

Eunsol, who had been quiet until now, said.

OK.

“Oh right! I remember now… huh? But how did you know? Did you also work here?”

Im Jin-ho looked at Eun-sol with a puzzled expression.

Eunsol smiled softly and shook her head.

“It’s a school, because everyone is the same.”

At her words, Lim Jin-ho put on a slightly bewildered expression.

Most of the academy properties he saw had different interiors.

“Ah… is that so? Well, if the teacher is like that, then you’re right. But um… Sir. I think the 4th floor would be a bit difficult, wouldn’t it? It’s a place that hasn’t been cleaned up yet.”

Im Jin-ho said to Jun-young.

Hearing what he said, Joon-young looked worried for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“Then there is nothing you can do. After all, the decision has already been made.”

Then Lim Jin-ho’s expression turned into tension.

He has explained the property to Junyoung and Eunsol with all his heart and sincerity.

In fact, it was the first time he had such an opportunity.

In the meantime, only small properties such as studios and officetels were allowed to him.

“I… Then how are you going to sign a contract? If the price is a little burdensome, I will try to talk to the owner of the building as much as possible…”

Lim Jin-ho said in a trembling voice.

It was because he knew that his situation would change 180 degrees depending on what kind of answer Joon-young gave now.

Then Junyoung looked at Eunsol.

I wanted to hear the thoughts of the people I would like to work with, as I plan to run the academy based on the place I will be contracting with for a long time in the future.

However.

As she looked around her as she smiled, she seemed to be thinking the same as herself.

It was fortunate.

After holding his breath for a while, Jun-young slowly opened his mouth toward Im Jin-ho, who was waiting for his answer.

“I will make a contract.”
