"And as if the budget wasnât tight enough, thereâs also hospital bills and repair costs for various facilitiesâ¦!!"
"Why are you getting angry at me? I donât get it."
"W-What did you just say???"
The ponytailed chief erupted in frustration.@@novelbin@@
"Because of you, I was docked pay, my team was injured, and one of them underwent emergency life-saving surgery! Now theyâll live the rest of their life as a paraplegic! Losing their job was the least of their problems."
"Oh, really?"
"Do you know how much it costs to get disability support implants, cyberware, and an uncertain rehabilitation program? That person might as well be dead! Why are you acting so indifferent?!"
Yeah, things got bad.
Baek Seol nearly sliced them in half, after all.
But wasnât it their fault? Who told them to point their guns at me?
"Isnât all that covered by your company? Like workplace injury compensation or something?"
"Compensation?! Hah, even if the money is paid, itâs still a problem! The compensation was entirely used up on surgery, and the monthly pension only covers one-fifth of their medical expenses. Someone like you, whoâs never had to worry about money, couldnât possibly understand!!"
Hmm.
I think I get why sheâs so bitter now.
The companyâs welfare system was absolute garbage.
"Okay, I get it. But why are you mad at me?"
"Youâ¦!"
"Youâre blaming the wrong person. Why were you docked pay for failing to stop me? Thatâs the real issue."
"What?"
"If you had succeeded in stopping me, that wouldâve been a bigger problem. Imagine if I got even a scratchâdo you think your company wouldâve survived that?"
"â¦"
"You should be thanking me for graciously letting you off with only casualties and no harm to my esteemed self. Bowing and expressing gratitude wouldâve made more sense than docking your pay."
"â¦"
