UX Chapter 5

Forget answering the phone, Chiwon avoided it even more diligently than anyone else in the world. Chiwon didn’t keep his pompous promise of ‘calling after work.’ True to the company’s PC-Off policy, as soon as 6 o’clock hit, the power went off. He left without turning it back on, bolting out of the office and then turning off his phone.0ddf2b9a4c3b4b13

He heard his 502da87191 team members clamoring d17fa3d1e1 behind him for 00c4be9b6b a company dinner 7ab4c074ec to celebrate the d066eabbf7 new team leader’s 1b544663e3 arrival, but he 1874ef689a ignored them completely.8cac2440ed5a22f9

He didn’t bother to hide the grumbling that escaped his lips. He had the absurd thought that it would be nice if all this were just a dream when he fell asleep and woke up again. He wanted to go back to before he met that ridiculously handsome Ahn Jihyuk. No, at least he wanted to go back to that street where he’d yelled “sex” in front of Ahn Jihyuk, cover his past self’s mouth, chop the back of his neck, and knock himself unconscious.4bf297b1ce46cdf8

Amidst the busy morning, while he was busy finalizing the launch contract, another manager from another brand branch inquired about coupon discounts. Occasionally, there were brands that prohibited discounts at branch stores, unlike their direct online stores. And the managers running those stores were always trying to increase sales. Most of the requests to add coupons, taking advantage of the brand’s lax monitoring, would turn back into requests to remove the coupons as soon as they were applied, with the excuse of being “caught by the head office.’154874029b63b27b

It was a bit harsh, but Chiwon had no obligation to look after them. If Branch A couldn’t receive new products due to penalties, he could simply shift the planned promotion to Branch B.
