Solo All-Around Agent

Chapter 4

Perhaps because Kim Do-hyeon felt more pressure than he thought, the negotiations could be easily carried out with Song Jae-jin having the upper hand.

As a result, the negotiations were concluded within the first negotiation table.

And now, it is the time before the start of the spring camp and the second negotiating place.

Song Jae-jin and Moon Kang-hyun headed to the front desk of the Hornets at the appointed time.

The contract period is 6 years.

The contract amount is 4 billion.

Salary is a basic salary of 900 million won and up to 1.1 billion won including options.

It was a very successful negotiation.

“I thought it would take a lot longer than I thought, but I’m happy. The contract is satisfactory.”

“It was largely because General Manager Kim Do-hyun was scared of levers. Anyway, I’m glad you’re satisfied.”

“I am very happy. I met someone like Song Jae-jin’s agent.”

Kang-hyeon Moon said bitterly because he had seen many cases where players were forced to sign a contract with a team that paid more than the player’s will.

‘Ah. This is how I feel.’

As Moon Kang-hyun’s sincerity was conveyed, Song Jae-jin implicitly thought that this might be what it felt like to be trusted by a player.

But even after shaking hands with Moon Kang-hyun and breaking up.

On the way to the company, the system notification of success did not go off, and his heart was full of tension.

‘What was the problem? Wasn’t Kang-hyun Moon satisfied?’

After that, the reason Jaejin thought he had to beat him was because there was a system.

In any case, independent of the system, the work was not completely finished, so Song Jae-jin decided to return to the company for a detailed report with an anxious mind.

—

‘What?’

When he arrived at his office, he felt that the eyes of the employees looking at him were unusual, so Jaejin headed to the place where his employees were crowded.

“cheer up.”

Jaehyun Kim, who was reading the announcement, patted his shoulder and went back to his seat.

Looking around, many employees who were looking at the bulletin board were looking at them with sad eyes.

[Notice of Personnel Order]

And Song Jae-jin was puzzled by the notice with his name on it and quickly read his paper.

[Deputy General Manager Song Jae-jin][Contract work -> Player scouting work][Personnel appointment date: January 12, 2029.][World Tree Agency Team 1 Director Ki-Yeol Ahn.]

And another sheet of paper attached to it.

[Promotion notice][We are announcing that the personnel appointment for 2029 has been decided as follows.][Choi Giyeon][Deputy Manager->Director][Personnel appointment date: January 12, 2029.][World Tree Agency Team 1 Director Ki-Yeol Ahn.]

“Huh, really. It’s tomorrow. And up to Kiyeon Choi?”

It was outrageous that this notice was posted in less than an hour after the completion of Moon Kang-hyun’s contract was reported.

‘A scout team? It seems that he was planning to demote him and let him go out on his own feet, rather than simply adjusting his work. By promoting Ki-yeon Choi, I made it even more miserable.’

It was not a big shock because I had been fully prepared since I heard about Ahn Ki-yeol the other day.

However, I was impatient about the tutorial success hologram that had not yet come to mind.

It was because he had to successfully negotiate Moon Kang-hyeon and obtain a system before his own plan could begin.

‘But, even as a deputy chief, how was it possible to issue a personnel appointment so easily?’

Because of the company system, Ahn Ki-yeol’s decision alone could not fly in order to issue a personnel appointment like this, so Song Jae-jin was skeptical.

‘The fact that such a notice has been posted means that the director and CEO Seo Eun-sang have also approved it.’

But soon after, he thought that he would write his resignation, what would it have to do with it?

“Hey, hello. Chief.”

However, as soon as someone called him carefully, he turned his head.

“Good morning. Are you the deputy chief Choi Sang-hoon?”

Because the team was different and he was an unexpected person who had no contact, Song Jae-jin exchanged greetings while tilting his head.

“I know the timing is a bit off, but if you don’t mind, Director Seo Eun-sang asked if I could see you for a moment.”

Song Jae-jin nodded his head willingly at the sudden words of Deputy Chief Choi Sang-hoon.

“Yeah. Where can I go?”

Following Choi Sang-hoon’s guidance, Director Seo Eun-sang was brewing coffee using an espresso machine.

“Is coffee okay?”

“Yeah.”

Seo Eun-sang, who offered a cup of coffee, sat across from Song Jae-jin, smelled the coffee and had a moment of silence.

“I saw and saw it. Did you finish Moon Kang-hyun’s contract successfully?”

“Ah yes.”

Since it was not easy to know what the intention was, Song Jae-jin looked at Seo Eun-sang, director with full of caution.

“First, I want to say I’m sorry.”

“Yes?”

He couldn’t easily predict what was going on, but at the words he didn’t think of at all, Song Jae-jin stared blankly at Seo Eun-sang.

“Whatever the process, it’s like we’ve been dumping what our team couldn’t solve.”

“Ah. Fine. I’m glad it ended successfully.”

“right. I’m glad it ended successfully, otherwise it would have been a disaster.”

“Did you just call me for that word?”

In response to Song Jae-jin’s bright reaction, Seo Eun-sang put down her coffee cup and looked at Song Jae-jin’s face.

“There must be doubts. There was an announcement of a publicly fucked personnel move, but Ahn Ki-yeol would not have been able to do it on his own.”

The reason Song Jae-jin’s personnel change was an unspoken pressure to quit outright was that he was in charge of the scouting team.

First of all, money.

If you are in charge of scouting, your chances of being in charge of contracting for players are very low, and you will not be able to receive commission through the contract, which is the majority of your agent’s income.

Second is work.

Of course, agents also go around to find good players, but in the case of scouting, it was mainly because it was a task given to new employees who had just acquired an agent’s tail to learn practical skills.

“Perhaps this conclusion was reached because the director also agreed.”

Eun-sang nodded at Song Jae-jin’s words.

“You probably have a lot of thoughts in your head. Maybe I should resign.”

Instead of answering, Seo Eun-sang, seeing him nod his head slightly, smiled and continued.

“But it is difficult to quit easily. Even Deputy Manager Song doesn’t know about the Korean agent market.”

The reason Song Jae-jin was worried until the end. It was because it required more pain and effort than the level of heading to the ground if you discarded the World Tree business card.

Fortunately, it could have been a little better because of the connections I made while holding the title of deputy chief, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t difficult.

“I told you, I also agreed to the transfer. Why do you think you would agree?”

“I do not know.”

In response to Jaejin’s blunt answer, Seo Eunsang smiled and held out a piece of paper.

[Deputy General Manager Song Jae-jin][Exclusive for player scouting -> 2 teams][Personnel appointment date: January 12, 2029.][World Tree Agency Team 2 Director Eunsang Seo.]

Completely different content on the same date.

“This… .”

“Honestly, I thought it was a good opportunity. Ahn Ki-yeol’s behavior of seeing players as money if I don’t like them either.”

Eun-sang Seo said, sipping on the rest of his coffee.

“If Deputy Manager Song comes as the second team, I want to take over baseball-related work.”

“Is it baseball?”

“Right now, wouldn’t baseball be better than soccer, which is difficult because of moving Ahn Ki-yeol?”

In any case, the title of director of World Tree Agency exerted considerable power, and Ki-Yeol Ahn was particularly influential in football.

“I think leaving the company is the picture Ahn Ki-yeol wants. What do you think? I can tell you for sure that it’s different from Ki-Yeol Ahn. Deputy Director Song has done well enough and I think he is a talented person who can do better. What do you think? He will go to work with two teams from tomorrow.”

‘A person who recognizes me.’

Song Jae-jin laughed bitterly at Seo Eun-sang’s words that he had done well so far.

“Take it easy. It’s okay to think that you’re using me. It’s okay to think of holding hands for revenge. That’s why I highly value your abilities.”

It was because the years of surviving under Ahn Ki-yeol passed like a pole.

After a moment of silence, Song Jae-jin, who had his thoughts organized, looked at Seo Eun-sang, director, and he said what he was thinking.

“I am… … .”

[Tutorial: The contract with Kang-Hyeon Moon has been completed.][Total: A][Main reward: system transfer.][Tutorial rewards are paid according to the grade.]

—

“Song Jae-jin. Director Ahn Ki-yeol is calling.”

After talking with Seo Eun-sang, as soon as he returned to Team 1, Ahn Ki-yeol was looking for him, so Song Jae-jin headed to the boardroom.

At the same time, at the hologram that came to mind just before entering the moving room, Song Jae-jin knocked on his office door with a smile that could not be hidden across his face.

“You found it.”

Ahn Ki-yeol could not hide his wriggling brow as Song Jae-jin’s expression as he entered his office was smiling differently than he had imagined.

“Did you see the greeting outside?”

“Yeah.”

Song Jae-jin looked at Ahn Ki-yeol with a calm expression.

“Are you talking about the transfer document to the scout team at this time?”

Rather, Song Jae-jin’s words began to twist his judgement.

“What rude remarks?”

“It’s disrespectful. I’m just telling you the truth. I think the rudeness is the rude notice posted outside of me right now.”

As the conversation with Song Jae-jin continued, Ahn Ki-yeol had no time to unfold the wrinkles drawn between his forehead.

“Common sense, which company would hire an agent with a player in charge? Even when all the existing players are reassigned.”

That calm expression on her face, accepting everything contrary to what she thought.

And it was because he was annoyed by the way he spoke openly at him as if he had nothing to do with it.

“Is there a problem? Externally, the contract with the Hornets was successfully completed. And to use the strength of seeing a different side of a player I haven’t seen and entrusting them to discover new players?”

That was a good excuse.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“External? It’s good outside. But who knows the truth.”

Of course, no one would believe that external excuse as it is.

“You know what? It’s not the truth that matters. It’s an external excuse and justification to put forward.”

“Ah. I guess there was a misunderstanding. I have no complaints about Insadong. The outside world and the truth I speak of.”

After a moment’s rest, Song Jae-jin raised his head and met Ahn Ki-yeol’s eyes.

“It’s not that Moon Kang-hyun turned over his contract in hopes that the player would do well, but that he was hiding his intention to take the player as a hostage.”

“What… . What?!”

Ahn Ki-yeol was embarrassed and his expression collapsed at the same time, perhaps because such a straightforward talk was unexpected.

Seeing that Ahn Ki-yeol’s face was getting red, Song Jae-jin finished his words and turned his back without looking back.

“Ah. I’m sorry I couldn’t meet you until the end, although you would have wanted a staff who could listen to you. I should have left because the contract failed as I wanted it to.”

“What?”

“The contract was successful, and thanks to that, I was even assigned to the 2nd team. Thank you very much. We will work hard even if we go to the 2nd team.”

“What?! Two teams?”

Ahn Ki-yeol, who had no idea that Song Jae-jin was going to the 2nd team, stood up so that the chair fell and looked at Song Jae-jin.

“Ah. Did you not know? Starting tomorrow, I will go to work as a 2nd team with Director Seo Eun-sang.”

Jaejin finally decided to move on to team 2. Although Eun-seong Seo’s proposal was attractive, it was because the advantage of the name World Tree in Korea could not be ignored.

Especially in the sports world, where people are tied by personal connections, blood ties, and delays.

It was because I thought that the World Tree with WSG on my back was better than going out blindly after getting the system and having to suffer.

It was because he thought that it would be okay to have Seo Eun-sang keep Ahn Ki-yeol in check, and in the meantime, he could build up his reputation one by one and turn his eyes away depending on the situation.

Even after obtaining such a system, I had no intention of staying in Korea indefinitely.

‘Because it’s important to make a mouth-watering performance at WSG.’

“Seo Eun-sang!!”

“Since the appointment date is tomorrow, I will leave work for a while.”

Song Jae-jin, who came to his seat after Ahn Ki-yeol, who was screaming evil, packed up his belongings and left the team’s office without any regrets.

‘I’m glad I got the system.’

Anyway, it was because he needed time to organize his thoughts and think about the future direction of work.

‘You have to understand the system, too.’

Song Jae-jin, who loaded his car and took off his suit jacket, opened the system window.

“Ah. reward.”

It was to check the rewards he had obtained before entering the room of Director Ahn Ki-yeol.

When he opened the system window, the tab labeled Rewards flashed and asked him to click on it.

[1 100 point ticket, 1 intermediate coaching system pass, 1 player 1km exploration ticket (one time), 3 skill upgrade tickets. (Up to advanced level is possible.)]

A hologram window with the reward appeared in front of you immediately.

At that, Jaejin burst into laughter incomparable to when the system first spoke to him.
