I Became a Genius Engineer

University student Lee Cheol-woo (6)

“What does it mean to take care of all the accommodations?”

I have a feeling what you mean, but I asked to be sure.

“First, you can help me in a way that does not interfere with my academic life.”

“You mean that?”

hmm… … . How can I help without interfering with my academic life?

“Do you know what a freelancer is?”

“Well, isn’t it a bit of an upgraded version of Alba?”

“hahahahaha, yes. It’s similar. You can work whenever you have free time. In a way, it’s similar to part-timers.”

“Ooh. It’s not bad, but…”

“Do you have any problems?”

“It’s a burden for me to do my job, so I’m not good at programming, and I might not be able to do it in practice.”

Changsu and the professor acknowledged it, but I still can’t believe it myself. really me? Do you mean to run in the field? For what reason?

And isn’t making money a huge responsibility? The moment you start making money, you’re called a pro.

When I said that, the CEO of Blue Light and the director of development looked puzzled.

“Heh heh, it seems that student Chul-woo Lee doesn’t know his own abilities yet. This is a very high rank even in active duty. No one can just copy him.”

Even when I heard the professor’s words, I was worried, but when I heard from people who are actually playing in the field, it became more credible.

“Huh. Thank you.”

“Yes. You can feel a little more proud.”

“So what are the conditions? I heard that the programming source is sold first.”

“First of all, the condition presented by us is this.”

They handed me the contract to sell the program.

I didn’t really know what it was because the term was difficult, but there was one thing I could know for sure.

「Contract amount: 16 million won.」

And I couldn’t help but be surprised to see it.

“Heeek?”

16 million won, how much money is that? If you order and eat a 20,000 won chicken once a day, you can eat it for 800 days.

To think that you can do 1 chicken a day for almost 3 years… … . this is crazy must be crazy

“How is it? Isn’t that fine? And this is an employment contract.”

They showed me one more contract.

In it, it was written that he would go to work voluntarily and that he would be paid 2 million won per month.

2 million won… … . When working 48 hours a week, it was a much higher amount than the minimum hourly wage. Self-employed there!

It was honey.

“Wow, 2 million won? Aren’t you overdoing it?”

“hahahaha, no. Of course, I have to do this much.”

While doing so, Minseok tapped me on the shoulder.

“why?”

“Can I say something?”

“Yeah. Why did you ask for my permission to do that?”

“Um… then I’ll do it. Isn’t this the sale contract too low? 16 million won? Shouldn’t it be 20 million won?”

huh? For 16 million won, 1 chicken a day is 800 days? is that salty?

What the hell is Minseok talking about?

“Heh heh, I’m guessing that Manseok students don’t know yet. Actually, even if you put in an estimate to another company, this amount comes out.”

Did Min-seok not know anything and say something real?

“I don’t think so? With 16 million won, it would be about half a year’s labor cost for a beginner programmer. Will one beginner programmer work for half a year to produce this kind of result?”

ah?!

hmm? might come out? I’m not sure.

“……. Well, it definitely doesn’t come out. Yes. That’s what Minseok Student said. But we can’t help but consider other aspects. And this is not the concept of copyright purchase, but the purchase of the source. We It’s not allowed to resell to other companies. If that’s the case, I recommend putting in a quote to another company. Isn’t it okay to just listen to us and sign a contract?”

hmm? Are you just a student who doesn’t know anything about society?

“Then, since you’re saving face, why don’t you do it for around 18 million won?”

Minseok also came up with an appropriate compromise to see if he acknowledged it to some extent.

“I’ll have to think about it a little.”

“And no matter how much Cheol-woo says he works part-time, isn’t a starting wage of 200 too little?

is it? I don’t know, but Minseok probably wanted me to take a little more.

“Yes. Then we will make sure the scope of work is also clear. The job will be to work on the hair salon management program DB. The period will be about two months.”

“Cheolwoo. What are you going to do?”

Minseok asked me.

“hmm…….”

Doesn’t it really matter?

I didn’t mean to hit you like that, I just wanted to buy it a little cheaper based on common sense?

At that moment, a good idea came to my mind.

‘Wait a minute, after hearing this, isn’t that what you need to connect only to the DB?’

Then I could get all the money without having to work part-time at the company.

“Yes. I like it. But what kind of DB do you use?”

“I use MySQL. Why?”

“No. I was just curious. Oh, and isn’t everyone having lunch?”

It was also lunch time.

“Lunch? Oh, by the way, it’s lunch time.”

“If you don’t mind, can we talk slowly again after lunch? Try thinking about it a bit.”

“Yes. All right. Then let’s go to lunch together.”

“Oh, no. Minseok and I have an appointment.”

“Ah. Yes. I see. Then I’ll see you here again at 2:00 with plenty of time.”

“Yes. That will be fine.”

“Then let’s go to dinner, Professor.”

“So be it.”

“Then let’s go first. Minseok, let’s go.”

“Yes. See you in a little while.”

Minseok and I got up first.

“Why is lunch all of a sudden? And I don’t have an appointment?”

After leaving the professor’s room and arriving at a place a little further away, Minseok said.

“You don’t notice the child.”

“I know you’re trying to avoid the seat. But is there another reason?”

“Yeah. So what they want is that my hair salon management program is not connected to the DB after all.”

“Yeah. Right?”

“So if you modify the program to connect to the DB, you can get all the wages.”

“Is that right?”

“So I thought about it, can’t I just make it now? Why bother going to work?”

I just had to make the hair salon management program connect to the DB.

“……? Huh? What?”

“What? You can make it now?”

“huh.”

“It’s literally, you can’t get everything if you just change it and give it now.”

“huh?”

Minseok still had an expression of incomprehension.

“Literally! The reason I said I have an appointment during lunchtime is to fix it during that time. What a bother to go to work.”

“Is that okay?”

“I don’t think I’ll know. Anyway, I don’t have time. Find an empty classroom quickly. I’ll start working right away.”

“Okay! I only trust you.”

I immediately squatted down, took out my laptop and booted it up, and Minseok went around looking for an empty classroom.

“Here! Come this way.”

“uh!”

Minseok and I took our seats in an empty classroom. And I saw a computer that had finished booting.

‘So the problem is that I need to connect the DB, right? And that DB was MYSQL.’

I deliberately asked to find out what database they were using. MySQL was the first name I had heard of.

You’ll probably need to take a database class in your 3rd grade curriculum to know a little about it.

‘hmm… … . I made a loud noise to Minseok, but will this be?’

I didn’t think so, but I decided to bump into it. There’s a lot of information on the internet if you look for it.

First, I went to the MYSQL official website and quickly read various development documents.

‘Oh, so you’re reading and writing the data in the database with the Select statement and this and that statement. Is it easy?’

Then I found a way to connect MYSQL.

‘Do you have a library? what? Isn’t it easy?’

The hair salon management program I made was written in C++ language. And the MYSQL official website provided a library for C++.

That said, the job was easier than I thought.

‘Then, all I have to do is change the file I/O part I made into a database, right?’

I made a rough estimate in my head of how to change the program and started typing right away.

* * *

Shortly before 2:00 p.m., Minseok and I were waiting for the blue light people.

“But Minseok, why did you say that?”

“Huh? What?”

“Isn’t the amount of the program sold high enough? 16 million won?”

“That? I just scooped it up? It would be nice to bring a little more.”

“hahahaha… that’s amazing, isn’t it?”

Is it possible to think like that without knowing anything? In another sense, Minseok was also a bit amazing.

“No, you just have to be prepared to be criticized and shout out.

“Thanks to you, I raised 2 million won.”

“I don’t know yet, I told you to think about it. If it goes well, next time I’ll treat you!”

“of course.”

Soon after, at 2 o’clock, me, Minseok, the professor, and the people from the Blue Light team gathered again.

“Did you enjoy your lunch?”

“Ah, yes. What…”

I didn’t actually have time to eat lunch because I was editing the program. If he said he didn’t eat it, he might look weird, so he skipped it.

“Let’s get right to the point. Here’s the revised contract. I’ve been thinking a lot.”

They gave me a new contract.

Nothing else was changed, only the amount part was modified.

「Contract amount: 18 million won.」

… … . 18 million won. It was 2 million won higher than before, but where was that, it was someone’s one month’s salary.

“hahahaha, that’s nice.”

I received 2 million won more thanks to Minseok, so I can’t just have something delicious.

“Then shall we sign a contract right away?”

“Ah, but I need to revise the contract one more time.”

“Yes? Which part do you not like?”

they asked curiously.

“I will sell the hair shop program for 22 million won.”

“Yes? What is that? Are you saying you’re going to raise another 20% here? That’s just too hard. No way.”

“Of course, it’s not just a 20% increase. I just modified the hair salon program a bit to make it work with the DB.”

“yes?”

“Yes. That’s what you heard. I just worked on it, and made it work with the database.”

“What do you mean? If you just worked on it, do you mean you made it during your lunch break?”

“Yes. Yes. I’ll show you right away.”

“No way.”

Ignoring what they said, I turned on the hair salon program I had been working on.
