In the end, the case of embezzlement of outsourcing funds became known throughout Nexple and caused a great stir.

-Wow, that’s shocking. Is it development cost embezzlement? Are you saying that they just use the company’s money as they please?

└ I don’t understand well… … How the hell can you steal it?

└ It’s a way to ask an acquaintance who has some skills and earns a decent salary and share it behind the scenes. Otherwise, there is a way to outsource to each other at the corporate level and eat it back… … There are many ways.

└ Our PD and AD were also investigated for embezzlement of outsourcing expenses… … He denied it to the end and denied that it was framed, but eventually it turned out to be true.

Numerous Nexple employees were shocked. The incident spread throughout the industry through community apps.

In addition, even the method of the crime that Yoo Tae-yeon caught.

The scandal that started at Neckple shook the entire industry.

└It’s shocking. What the hell is this? Thieves weren’t just in the government!

Monday executive meeting.

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong’s expression was very stern.

“What have you guys been doing all this while neglecting what PD U uncovered in the first few days after he started working in earnest?”

Executives flinch at the loud shouting.

“Hey, move your hand!”

“yes. President.”

“I am disappointed in you.”

“sorry.”

No matter how many tasks he was in charge of, Son Young-sang was the group’s development chief and a person who had been the head of the live headquarters for a long time.

“You PD, who has just started doing what you should have done, has been exposed. Do you think this makes sense?”

“… … .”

“Aren’t you taking money behind your back and turning a blind eye to it?”

Director Son Young-sang denied it with a hard complexion.

“It never happened.”

“Or what? You really didn’t know anything? Then what’s worse?”

“… … .”

“No matter how old you are and how difficult your work is. it’s your duty Then you should be responsible for it to the end. What the hell are you doing?”

“… … .”

Director Son Young-sang was beaten mercilessly at an official event. From the point of view of the other executives who were watching, the whole body was shaking.

“You guys are all the same!”

When arrows finally flew at them, everyone gritted their teeth.

“Since the guys who work for a game company with no name know anything about how game development works… … !”

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong, who was about to give a serious blow, stopped talking and sighed.

“Ha, it’s all my fault. The one who gets the most preferential treatment as the president didn’t know anything until he got to this point… … Ehh.”

A face that looks ten years old.

During the past week after the incident occurred, he experienced heaven and hell at the same time.

There were times when Taeyeon almost felt a bit resentful, but he wasn’t stupid. Rather, I knew that thanks to Taeyeon, the group was able to take purifying measures before the roots rot.

It was something to be praised, not blamed.

Soon his eyes widened.

“Let’s focus on cleaning this month.”

“… … !”

“Clean up and clean each area of responsibility. Do you guys have that ability too?”

Emotions like determination and miasma appeared on the faces of the executives.

“It’s embarrassing for me as well as for you guys. To make things come to this… … Ugh. Let’s not talk.”

he waved his hand.

“Go. Only Taeyeon is left.”

After a while, Chairman Yoo Jin-seong said to Taeyeon, who was left alone in the large conference room.

“sorry. And thank you.”

“… … .”

“But how did you know that?”

“actually… … .”

The wonhwa of the Amazing Racing team, which has been accusing of s*xual harassment, told a story about Kim Hye-won.

“Harassment? Did something like that happen?”

“… … .”

“Ha, this is really… … !

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong, who always showed a cheerful and smirk in front of Taeyeon, was genuinely angry.

“There’s no such thing as sh*t, but that’s right.”

Grinding his teeth, he tried to contain his anger and asked.

“Is there anything else similar?”

“yes. However, since Kim Hye-won was in a situation where she collected evidence, it was possible to process it quickly, but other cases require more time.”

“I can definitely handle it.”

“It is only a matter of time. This is a question that can be answered quickly by gathering public opinion through individual team meetings.”

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong’s face was boiling with anger.

“Surely handle it and report the progress.”

“I will.”

“Don’t look. We don’t need guys like that in our company. okay?”

“yes.”

“Let’s do non-gonghaengsang after the work is finished.”

* * *

s*xual harassment, molestation, extreme gaslighting, forced unreasonable instructions.

The submissions were pouring in.

This is thanks to the words of gratitude that Amazing Racing Team Kim Hye-won posted on the company website and the Reed Forest app became a hot topic.

-Thanks to PD Yoo Tae-won for not ignoring my request for help and responding, I was able to finish everything neatly. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Jung Ki-won and PD Yoo Tae-yeon for their support.

Yoo Tae-yeon PD can trust and ask for it!

Such awareness was rapidly spreading among those who had been harmed.

That was the reason for the pouring in of letters.

‘Thank you for trusting me… … .’

Things have gone beyond what I can handle alone!

‘It’s not something that can be solved in a short period of time.’

You shouldn’t drag it out either.

Taeyeon thought for a long time.

‘I’ll have to organize a temporary inspection team centered around people who can be trusted and have sufficient experience.’

The first thing I did was discuss this with the head of the Human Resources and General Affairs team.

“He is someone you can trust and has enough experience… … .”

He looked at Taeyeon and asked.

“I want to hear from the person the general manager has in mind.”

“Hong Min-seok, Lee Young-ae. I would like to ask you two.”

The leadership is also excellent, and they are proficient not only in their own part but also in the overall work.

“And he has a lot of experience and great intuition.”

Above all, the people I can trust.

The head of the personnel affairs team nodded.

“Then I will also recommend two subordinates whom I can trust and work with.”

In this way, a temporary inspection team of six people was formed.

Taeyeon took them and reported directly to President Jinsung Yoo.

“Come to think of it, we originally had an inspection team… … Why did it suddenly disappear?”

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong, who immediately called director Son Young-sang, asked about this. The answer was surprising.

“The inspection team committed fraud. How many times.”

“ah… … .”

“So the president said that if this is going to happen, it would be better not to have it… … .”

“… … .”

In a word, it means that you have dismantled yourself. Director Son Young-sang continued talking to him who burst out coughing in embarrassment.

“Above all, we lacked the right people. Because there was no one like Team Leader Yoo right now. A person who has a better understanding of the development process than anyone else and is well-versed in industry situations with outstanding intuition and experience. At the same time, he has the courage and charisma, so he can subdue well-spoken veteran developers and managers at once.”

“hmm… … .”

“Unless you are such a person, supervision in the true sense… … It was practically a bunch. That was the reason why there was an inspection team, but it was mana.”

“You did too?”

“Since I’ve been focusing on developing new games and developing technical art… … To be honest, I didn’t know much about that part. It’s nothing compared to a generalist like You PD.”

he humbly confesses

“I was a front wave that should have been pushed out long ago. How many times have I not told you?”

A man who knew his limits better than anyone else.

Director Son Young-sang took this opportunity to speak.

“Taking this opportunity to hand over the general development position to U PD… … .”

“That’s not allowed.”

Chairman Jin-Sung Yoo resolutely refused.

“Still early. As the head of live, and as a PD of the new development team, it is correct to go after proving it. In fact, even now, there are not a few people who oppose it because it is an unprecedented promotion.”

“hmm… … .”

“You can’t handle everything with just one ability. You know well, right?”

“that… … Yes.”

“Then hold on a little longer. Anyway, better than before. Because I have a good heir.”

“All right.”

Chairman Yoo Jin-seong, who succeeded in persuading director Sohn Young-sang once again, said.

“Did you hear? So you should do well. I really only believe in you.”

Taeyeon answered in a heavy voice.

“I will do my best.”

First meeting of the Provisional Inspection Team.

Taeyeon said.

“All the submissions that have been sent this morning have been sorted in order of importance and roughly summarized. After the interview with the contributor in turn, proceed with the processing. one each for a week. You’ll have to do six tasks in total. I will distribute the work.”

They handed out thick file albums one by one.

“To secure evidence, I will give you one action cam tomorrow. With it, please record and submit the interview, evidence acquisition, and processing process. Of course, you must obtain the consent of the people concerned in advance.”

This was also a choice for the safety of the inspection team.

“It is also a choice to prevent witnesses from changing or confusing their words behind the scenes so often.”

“It happens more often than you think.”

Attention is focused on Hong Min-seok AD, who nods as if sympathetically. he grinned.

“We have many similar experiences.”

“If you figure out your work today and hand out action cams tomorrow morning, then work will begin. We will notify you via message after opening a cloud account to upload video files to today.”

After that, a brief briefing on the case that needs to be dealt with immediately followed and a discussion on the solution.

towards the end of the meeting.

“Lastly, let me emphasize one thing.”

The eyes flash fiercely.

“Inspection teams have to be mechanical. Think of yourself as a cyborg born to judge. Clearly examine the causal relationship of work, and punish mercilessly if wrongdoing is covered. Don’t show tolerance. Do you understand?”

“yes!”

“I, as the interim inspection team leader, will be responsible for everything. If you set the ball, you will definitely pay a reasonable reward. So, I ask you to proceed with the work with a sense of duty.”

His face was eerie, like that of a grim reaper who would lead offenders to the list.

The team members gulped at the tension rising from the depths of their hearts.
