Coder Lee Yongho Chapter 10

Dinner table.

“Mom, I’m working starting tomorrow.”

“I got employed thanks to the professor’s recommendation.”

“Mirae IT.”

According to YongHo’s mother’s knowledge, Mirae company was a big company. It was no wonder she was so surprised.

YongHo’s mother wrapped her two hands on YongHo’s cheeks with a happy face.

“Y…Yeah.”

Anyway, it was pretty much guaranteed that he would become a permanent employee, so he didn’t find it necessary to tell her about it.

“I understand.”

“Mom.”

That night, he told his father, who came in drunk as always, the news of his employment. And for that night, he could sleep comfortably.

After passing the interview, he came to the company main building for the employment contract.

“Yeah, it’s been a while.”

“Hello, sunbae.”

“Oh yes.”

“Maybe we will, maybe we will separate. We don’t know for sure.”

“Good morning, everyone. We have met in the interview, haven’t we?”

“Then we will write the employment contract one by one. First, Mr. Kang SungGyu.”

“This part here is your annual salary, and below that is the duration of the contract. The duration is from the 1st of September to 1st of March next year. If there is no problem during your intern period, you will become a permanent employee.”

1,000,000KRW(≈870USD) per month.

‘I’ll probably earn more from part time jobs than this.’

“Should I sign here?”

Employment contract, A.K.A. Slave contract.
YongHo’s name was clearly written on it.

SungGyu and HyeJin were assigned to Delivery Team 1, and SuMin and YongHo were assigned to Delivery Team 2. And they were put into work right away without prior education.

In the subway heading towards Yeoksam station.

“Moreover……”

“Ahh, I am so annoyed.”

“Why the hell is this laptop so heavy.?”

“Then quit.”

“Oh, we’re here.”
They arrived at Yeoksam station.

5 or 6 people were sitting in front of desks that were close together. Every single one of them had fatigue written all over their faces. It was unbelievable to think that these were the appearances of programmers.

One glance and they could tell that the desk was used for many years, and the chairs were stained all over it.

YongHo cleaned the desk with the wet wipe he was handed and set up his laptop. And he sat there with a blank look on his face. He didn’t have a card-key for entering and exiting the office so he couldn’t carelessly go out.

After lunch, the assistant manager in charge called YongHo and SuMin for a cup of coffee. It seemed he managed to make some time.

After greeting, assistant manager Seo continued speaking.

“What happened?”

SuMin and YongHo didn’t even know what they didn’t know yet.
“Then let’s get back.”

Assistant manager Seo set the computer first. JDK(Java Development Kit: The basic environment for program developing using the Java language) for developing, Eclipse, Sql Developer which was a DB access tool and many other free development tools needed to be downloaded.

YongHo downloaded the things on the list given by Assistant manager Seo, one by one. There were a few programs that he saw for the first time, but he didn’t find any difficulties. If the download didn’t work properly, solutions could be found on the internet for most of them. He could finish downloading all the things on the list after about 1 hour.

Glancing at SuMin while stretching, she was biting her nails.

With thin and thick eyebrows and resilient skin, sharp nose and big eyes, anyone would say she was pretty.

Looking at her frowning while biting her nails, it seemed like something wasn’t going well. YongHo, having already finished downloading, leaned his head back a little more and looked at SuMin’s laptop.

SuMin couldn’t understand. She, for certain, followed the instructions to download the Sql Developer. However, it erred when she ran it.

SuMin considered asking assistant manager Seo. However, she was afraid that her impression would lean towards being stupid.

Biting her nails didn’t let her find the solution. She followed a few solutions, to the letter, that could be found on the internet, but the error didn’t disappear.

This was the solution on the internet. But she couldn’t find theAddVMOption on the file she opened to change. She searched with ctrl+f but nothing was found.

Translator’s note

Regular chapter 4/4. Next one will be released in 24 hours from now.

I read “A.K.A Slave contract” and I’m like that’s so us (the TL’ers on KCDS). Also, I feel like “Why do Koreans only covet free stuff?” I mean my Uni computers don’t even have microsoft office…

I am still working on the glossary!… not. So much stuff to do… Why do the profs want us to have a debate on books… and even write a draft…

Also, the chapter title is kinda a spoiler… guess who YongHo meets?
