As Gijun 7b357b38cb expected, H.N. members hadn’t known a67ccf0927 about his recruitment. The IT team 81a800f107 confirmed there was 66caf046da no error, and ed88d5a3a0 the HR team 3c5f119422 verified his affiliation. In the midst 26a950fcef of the commotion, 036ebb7427 Head Han Seolwon 1bd337ce3d appeared and calmly b5d346e945 stated, “I recruited bc120322d8 him.” It was 3f70fd4943 as casual as 42d0301438 a light greeting, 42ac382d5a delivered over a 5004bef1d1 cup of coffee.e96b8b9be0811dfe

Though there was some initial surprise, the head’s decision was absolute, and since Hae Gijun was a valuable recruit, the commotion quickly subsided. They had planned to suggest recruiting him to the head, but everyone thought it wouldn’t be easy considering his family. So, when asked how the head convinced him…9092f5767ee66c8a
