chapter 2
<2>
“Yesterday, the domestic stock market saw a sharp drop in the index again at the end of the market as the sales of programs led by foreign investors surged. Stock prices in the metal, machinery, electricity, and gas industries that led the index rise over the past two weeks are also turning downward, and the downward trend in the domestic stock market is expected to continue for the time being…”
The train on the way to work in the morning, which is no different from crowds. It’s a state like hell, but Hyeon-jun seems to have adapted to this place.
Hyun-joon, who was listening to the news with Bluetooth earphones, focused on the news on the domestic stock market for a while, but immediately analyzed the current situation with a smile.
In other words, it is because of the four witches’ day that overlaps until the expiration date of the futures option. As this day approached, the volatility increased. On the other hand, with the end of the year just around the corner, it is true that there are more variables.
In addition, isn’t there a possibility of an interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve (Federal Reserve System)?
By the way, what time is it?
Suddenly, Hyeon-jun looked at his watch with a serious expression. A watch with a shiny green face framed in cool silver metal. This is a Rolex watch. A counterfeit watch, of course. Still, you can’t find this kind of thing in the market, so it’s different from a precious thing that it’s hard to buy at all. In other words, it’s a fake, but it’s an expensive fake.
Of course, wearing a watch like this on your wrist may itself be bravado. However, Hyeon-joon deliberately paid a large sum of 300,000 won to buy it because he thought he would not get discouraged among those proud professors.
After a while, Hyeon-jun finally arrived at Inseoul Daemyung University, where he works.
#
After all, morning starts with coffee.
After receiving the Americano capsule coffee in a mug, Hyeonjun sat down in front of his desk. professor’s office. I was appointed at the beginning of this year and have not lived here for a year yet, and all the furnishings are clean. Three bright monitors are placed in a row on a long desk, and various thesis materials are stacked high on one side.
Hyeonjun checked the time again.
Monday, December 10, 2018, 9:12 a.m.
The computer monitor, which finished booting up in an instant, shows the current date and time. At that moment, Hyeonjun’s eyes change a little. 9 o’clock in the morning. The time when the stock market opened, that was already over. But think about that for a while. I hurriedly gave up on that idea and started checking my e-mail again.
Usually, university professors’ administrative work is generally carried out in a way that is delivered through e-mail. In other words, work starts when you receive various emails. In some cases, e-mails come directly from the university headquarters, but in most cases, administrative tasks within the school begin by forwarding various administrative e-mails collected by department assistants. As a result, I receive e-mails from department assistants several times a day.
So what else will happen today?
Hyeonjun was quietly checking his e-mails when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
“yes. Come on in!”
Someone knocked outside. So I immediately strained my throat and shouted, and then the door opened and someone came inside. In an instant, Hyeon-joon mechanically got up from his seat.
What the hell are you doing early in the morning?
Professor Han Jung-soo is in the next room.
He was coming inside, holding a steaming mug.
“professor. What are you doing?”
“Professor Choi. Oh, I’m sorry all of a sudden, is it some time now?”
“yes. it’s okay. Have a seat.”
Hyeon-jun pointed to the sofa in front of him, and at this time, Professor Han Jeong-soo quietly sat on one side of the sofa.
Small sofas facing a small table in the center. Each sofa is large enough to seat only two people and is very elegant.
“Professor Choi, aren’t you busy these days because it’s the end of the semester?”
“yes. It’s kind of like this and that. What about the professor?”
“Well, I always do. Professor Choi knows. I’m crazy busy with school work. It looks like it will be busier in the future.”
“Ah, did you take the position this time?”
In general, a major position change occurs at the university headquarters every December. If the predecessors at the deputy director level and deputy director level finish their two-year term by December, the term of office for the successors begins in January. They will be handed over before that, and it is common to prepare early to prevent an administrative vacuum. That is why there are bound to be some changes in the college district in December.
“uh. What do you mean? I’ve been given a small position this time.”
Professor Han Jung-soo smiles at the same time.
clean gray hair. Often, professors say that they don’t dye their hair when they get older. Hair that was so discolored as if it had snowed in white. This is because it itself represents a lofty academic life. Professor Han Jeong-soo, 52 years old this year. He, too, has already turned his bangs white.
“What position?”
“Then only Professor Choi knows first. I still keep silent unconditionally.”
“yes.”
“This time, hahaha, I’m in charge of the dean.”
“Oh, really? professor! Congratulations!”
Hyun-joon deliberately showed a furious look and congratulated him. At this time, Professor Han Jung-soo’s smile grows thicker on his lips. Then, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally spoke of the real purpose of his visit.
“That’s why… I have to do a lot of things to be the dean in the future. I hope Professor Choi can help me.”
“yes? professor. What am I?”
“How great would it be if our competent Professor Choi helped me? How is it? Please do me a favor. If I am Professor Choi’s job, I will actively help in the future. Are you fine?”
At that moment, Hyeon-jun frowns slightly. Come to think of it, there is nothing particularly different from the general organization as a society of professors. The senior professor is always thinking about how to take care of the junior professor, and he passes the work that has flown to him to the junior professors again and again. In particular, the new professor is a really good prey. Choi Hyeon-joon, a new assistant professor who has not yet been appointed for a year, is a good size to pamper.
“professor.”
“Uh, why?”
“I’m sorry, but I’m a bit busy these days.”
“what? Perhaps because of the thesis?”
“yes. To pass the contract renewal review at the end of next year, I need a published thesis, and my head still hurts about receiving research funding orders… I’m really sorry. at least one year later. Can’t I even renew the contract and help from then on?”
“Ugh. Well, I was the busiest at the time, too…”
“sorry. professor.”
“My dear, then what are you going to do? If Professor Choi is busy, who will help me in my department? did you see Everyone is trembling and making a fuss. Everyone is screaming to die. uproar.”
“Sorry, Professor. Oh, I’m really sorry that it’s time for me to send the research report.”
“Oh yeah? You look really busy. Then let’s talk again later.”
Professor Han Jeong-soo frowned and reluctantly stood up. Hyun-jun immediately opened the door to his office to see him off, and immediately returned to his desk to sit down. Then he glances toward the door.
joy! Fucking trying to eat someone’s back. Jill is…
He became the dean, what does that have to do with me?
If the dean’s job is difficult, if it is beyond his ability, he would rather reject the position offer.
That’s why you’re not going to give me any position or any salary, but you’re asking me to help you?
To pamper you day and night?
Thousands of thousands of thousands of words.
Hyeon-joon, who had kicked out Professor Jeong-soo Han, looked at the monitor again to check his e-mail. Then, Hyeon-joon’s eyes glisten.
[Academic Administration Team] 2018-2nd Semester Student Class Evaluation Professor Reading Guide.
We are nearing the end of the second semester, and as a result, it is an administrative notice that always arrives at the end of the semester. In other words, the results of the class evaluation for this semester will be released after the final exams and when the appeal of student grades is over.
Hyun-joon, who is only in his first year of teaching.
Unlike humanities professors who are hired as professors after serving as part-time lecturers for several years, this was the first lecture for Hyeon-jun after being appointed as a professor. Hyeon-jun, who had no teaching know-how and only set the level of education high. As a result, I received a very disastrous lecture evaluation last semester. So, I tried my best this semester, but I had no idea how the results would come out in the future, and it was true that I was a bit anxious.
I don’t know. Whatever happens. Surely, you won’t be fired as a professor? Ugh…
“Hey, hey. Professor Choi. Lecture evaluation Student opinions are never looked at. Don’t be offended and don’t just look at me like I did. The score is always 80 points out of 100 points. That’s enough.”
Professor Han Jung-soo, who went out a while ago. that’s what he always says
Well, it’s not the time for me to be like this.
Hyunjoon immediately picked up the phone.
“yes. This is Hyunjun Choi. professor. call now? Is it possible? Yes. As you know, I have a research meeting with Professor Bae Sang-ki today. The current results are very encouraging. We are preparing for clinical trials in the future. professor! I will send you the materials now, so you must be busy. Please review it. thank you.”
Daemyung University Hospital Neurosurgery Professor Seongjin Park.
Professor Bae Sang-ki, who founded the bio venture, is planning a clinical trial on a new drug candidate for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Professor Park Seong-jin, a renowned neurosurgeon at Daemyung University, is currently involved in this.
How did Hyunjun get involved in this project? Of course, since Hyun-jun is a new professor, Professor Bae Sang-gi took the picture and involved Hyun-jun. Of course, Hyeon-jun was also involved because there was a lot of soybean in this area. In particular, Professor Bae Sang-gi’s bio venture, ‘New Drug NS Science’, has completed the series-A and series-B investment until the series-C stage.
“That’s me. Professor Bae. I have contacted Professor Seongjin Park. Yes. Yes. I’ll see you at 3 then.”
Hyeon-joon immediately called Professor Bae Sang-gi and focused on the computer monitor again. Then, Hyun-joon suddenly enters an Internet portal site without realizing it, puts in the keyword [Ilsung Electronics], presses enter, and quickly closes the window in surprise.
Nevertheless, the stock price of [Ilsung Electronics] rose in an instant. blue? share price decline? However, the window is quickly closed, so it is not possible to know the exact stock price.
no.
Why are you doing this?
I don’t know why I’m doing this these days.
Instinctively, it is a way to suddenly check the stock price.
In fact, isn’t his current life completely different from his previous life? Even so, is it because I became somewhat relaxed after being appointed as a university professor? It is the appearance of the nature that has been suppressed for a long time and is playing the active role again.
This should never happen.
Stocks are a shortcut to bankruptcy.
In particular, investing in futures options is an express train ticket to the Han River.
Still, I feel my heart beating wildly. In fact, wasn’t it around this time that he started stocks in earnest in his previous life?
In other words, around this time in my last life, after suffering serious burns on my hand, I quit my job as a welder, and started investing in stocks with the money I had saved up to that point.
However, the life of a stockbroker is just as scary as a drug addict.
I took a step forward as a full-time investor, but it was all ruined to look good.
And I fell in love with it and couldn’t give up. In the end, he entered the vicious stock workshop and flew around for a while, and even then, his life ended.
In other words, should I say that the trauma of living as an employee at a stock workshop and dying of being torn apart is truly terrifying.
Absolutely not this time.
never!
i am a professor because you’re a professor
Shouting that inwardly, Hyeon-joon made another promise, but it only gets confused in his head. Quadruple witching day coming soon. This is something that automatically bothers me.
Currently, the market is in a state of fear of a sharp drop in stock prices. So, a new low point may occur at this time.
However, the unfortunate thing is that all future stock price information and related information were deleted from my head in the process of regression.
As I consciously rejected my miserable life in the past, only future stock price information and investment information, which would be no different from drugs, were deleted. The desire to invest also seems to have disappeared. Perhaps it seems so.
In addition, electronic money and coins, which are rare investment assets, were not originally interested in Hyun-jun, so he did not even approach them. In other words, what the future coin situation will be like has been completely erased from my head.
Is it some kind of regression penalty?
widely! widely!
Hyeon-joon, who patted both balls and restrained himself. And then, I immediately grabbed the phone at the sudden ringing sound.
“yes. I am Hyunjun Choi.”
Then a voice was heard.
– hello? Professor Hyunjun Choi. I am Kim Dong-ho, manager of the secretary’s office. Can I make a call?
“yes. it’s okay.”
– Professor, if you have time, could you come to the president’s office right now? The president wants to see you now.
“yes? Me, me?”
For a moment, Hyunjoon was taken aback. A busy, busy university president. Why would such a person personally call a new assistant professor?
“Could you possibly know what’s going on?”
– sorry. I don’t know. If you don’t have time, you’ll have to reschedule…
“no. I’m fine now.”
Hyeonjun immediately hung up the phone and hurriedly got ready. At this time, wearing an intense red tie, he looked in the mirror, checked his clothes again, and hurriedly ran out of the office.
What the hell is going on?
