I Became a Genius Engineer

chapter 7



University student Lee Cheol-woo (7)

“As for the database, I installed MYSQL locally and created a hair salon database. And first, the member registration part.”

The CEO of Blue Light, the director of development, and the professor listened to what Cheol-woo was saying in bewilderment.

“I’m going to register as a member.”

After Cheol-woo registered as a member, he turned on the MYSQL management program.

“After registering a member in the program, you can see that the member has been inserted into the User table here.”

In fact, there was member data that Cheol-woo had just registered in the database.

In other words, Son, it was actually proved that the hair salon program was modified to work with the database in that short period of time.

“…”

“Surely, it’s only been two hours, hasn’t it?”

The representative didn’t say anything, and the development director asked for another confirmation time.

“Yes. Two hours.”

Then the professor replied.

“Then, wasn’t there already a version that works with the database?”

“Hmm… isn’t it? Our senior curriculum teaches you how to use Microsoft database systems. You’ve probably never heard of MYSQL.”

“Uh, so that’s also in the 3rd grade curriculum?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Huh. Then… are you really saying that the database was linked in that short amount of time?”

“Isn’t it?”

“I can’t help but… heh heh.”

As the professor said, the development director thought.

‘Really? is this possible? I’ve been looking at that work for about 2 months. You said you finished it in two hours?’

It was a story that didn’t really make sense.

‘And he must have had no knowledge of databases?’

There was another reason why it didn’t make sense.

Obviously, this student Cheol-woo Lee did not connect because he did not know the database. It wasn’t actually taught in the curriculum.

That means I have no knowledge about databases.

It was highly likely that they did not even know the query statement ‘SQL’ used in the database.

Then, in just 2 hours, I understood all the theories and questions of the database, studied them, and even applied them in practice.

If what he thought was true, there was only one conclusion.

‘genius.’

genius. It is not just a genius, but a genius that might come out once in a century or not.

It was more than that.

And the professor also felt uncomfortable about this situation.

‘what? Come to think of it, Cheol-woo is now in the first year, right?’

It was usually 4th graders who were preparing for employment or 3rd graders who were doing well to connect companies and students like this. But when I thought about it, Cheol-woo was in the first grade.

‘Then how on earth did you connect the database?’

The professor was curious.

“……Have you ever studied Cheolwoo’s student database?”

“Yes. There is.”

“Isn’t that right?”

“Yes. I just studied when the professor went to eat.”

silence for a while.

“Is it real? You mean you studied and applied the database in that short period of time?”

“yes.”

Cheol-woo said calmly.

‘I asked just in case, really in that short time? That’s really great. Isn’t this a genius talent?’

The professor was once again surprised by student Cheol-woo.

Even if it was just a hair salon management program, I was very surprised that it was made incredibly well, but this time it is different. If it was the field of application, this was the field of speed.

Learn, apply in just 2 hours.

It is said that the database, which is worth two credits for third graders, was learned in just two hours. Of course, practice was another matter.

‘If even the ability to learn jumps like this… … . genius.’

The professor had the same thoughts as the director of development.

Genius, that was the only word that could describe Cheol-woo.

“How about it? The database is also built and connected, so what’s the point of signing a contract for 2,200?”

“…”

That’s what Cheol-woo thought.

‘Is this for real? Did you really eat anything wrong that day? Or did the ancestors help as Changsoo said?’

I didn’t know if this could be done in just 2 hours, but it actually worked.

Even thinking about it, it was a bit creepy.

“hmm…….”

The CEO of Blue Light, who had never thought about the number of such cases, was at a loss as to what to do.

“Should I give it some thought?”

Raising from 1,600 to 1,800 in the first place was a big decision, but as I raised another 400 there, I had to think a little about the company’s finances.

However, no matter how other variables were considered, I was confident that if I bought that hair shop management program for 2,200 won, I would have more than doubled it.

“No, I’ve decided. I’ll buy it for the 2,200 that Cheol-woo suggested.”

“great.”

“and…….”

“yes?”

“I’ll give you 300. Would you like to work part-time at our company for just one month?”

And the president ate a big heart.

3 million won was a tolerable salary for beginners and intermediate programmers. Giving that money and using student Cheol-woo as a part-time job was a big gamble in many ways.

I won’t even work 8 hours a day, and I don’t know when I’ll quit.

That is, there will be no accountability.

There are various risks of not being a full-time job, but I just felt that I could bet this much after seeing my ability.

“300?”

“Yes. 300. That’s the equivalent of most beginner and intermediate level programmers. What would you like to do?”

“……. hmm.”

I wasn’t too keen on it, but wouldn’t it be worth trying for just a month or so?

It is also a part-time job, not a full-time job.

‘Wouldn’t it be bad to accumulate a little experience?’

Cheol-woo hardened his thoughts.

“Yes. I understand. Please take good care of me for a month.”

“Ha ha. Yes. Thank you. You can always come over here when you are ready for work.”

The representative of Blue Light handed over his business card.

“All right.”

“And sign the contract here.”

It was an amended contract once more.

The hair shop management program was traded at the final price of 22 million won.

* * *

A few weeks later, a little over 16 million won was deposited into my bank account from the Blue Light side after deducting taxes and introduction fees.

“Wow, crazy… how much money is 16 million won?”

“Did you really get paid?”

Minseok said.

“Uh, thanks to you, I received a lot. Thank you.”

“hahahaha, no. Buy some nice rice.”

“No, I made a lot of money thanks to you. Send me your account number.”

“Account? Really?”

“Then, will you serve the rice instead?”

“Of course! My account number is Nonghyup 332-54 ….”

I immediately sent 1 million won to Minseok. Thanks to that, I raised about 2 million won more, so I thought I should spend this much.

And after a while, Minseok’s cell phone rang.

“Huh? They give you this much?”

“You should get that much.”

“hahahaha, it’s not a big deal, but thank you anyway. Beef? Cole?”

“Call! Let’s go.”

“let’s go!”

On the way to the meat restaurant, Minseok asked.

“But where are you going to spend the money?”

“Hmm… I didn’t think about it, isn’t that a bit big?”

“therefore.”

“First, I’m thinking of buying a laptop.”

“Well, the one I’m using now seems a bit dirty. I’ll change it to a good one at this point. And there’ll still be over a thousand left over?”

“I wonder if I’ll give my parents some presents and then leave the rest behind. Maybe the next semester’s tuition will be a burden.”

“Yes, do it.”

“Let’s stop by the department store for a while before eating meat.”

“uh.”

Together with Minseok, I picked out gifts for my parents, drank beef and a glass of soju, and went home.

“mom and dad!”

“Oi, how much alcohol did you drink?”

“hahahaha, I had a drink because it felt good~!”

“Dad is sleeping, wash quietly and go to bed.”

“Mom~! I’m here! I~!”

“What did mom say? Didn’t she say that drinking makes you sleep well? Don’t be drunk.”

“No, really listen. This is my mother’s gift, this is my father’s gift.”

I bought a luxury bag for my mother and a watch for my father.

“Eh? What is this? Louis Vuitton? Isn’t this a luxury bag? Where do you get the money to buy something like this?”

“No~ Listen! I got some money for delivering the company’s program this time. hehehe. So I bought a present for my mother!”

“What are you talking about? Delivered to a company?”

“Oh! I made a lot of money by making a really good program.”

“No, it can’t be. Where did you gamble? Or, are you doing something illegal?”

“Isn’t that so~ Really, it’s money I earned from working proudly.”

“you?”

“Sure! It’s real. Anyway, write well and I’m going to sleep now!”

“… Uh, go to sleep first.”

It looked like he didn’t believe me, but I’ll have to explain in detail later. I was so tired now that I was drunk.

The next morning, Mom and Dad called me.

“Chulwoo Lee. What the hell is this?”

Dad sits me down and says

“Oh, it’s a gift.”

“No! That’s not what you’re asking.”

“As for how that happened… Hold on, it’ll be quicker to show you.”

I went back to my room and took a sales contract and two labor contracts from my bag and explained them to my parents.

“Is it real?”

“Sure! Can’t believe it even after looking at this contract? And I’m busy, so I decided to go there today anyway.”

“…”

Dad didn’t say anything.

“Cheol-woo, you’re so commendable… I thought you’d only keep your insides together, but now you’re going out and earning money.”

My mom told me I was proud for the first time.

“lol.”

“Good job.”

Even my strict father praised me for doing well.

“I have to go to work, so stop!”

“Let’s go eat breakfast!”

“No time!”

After roughly washing and changing clothes, I went to work at a blue light company.

I knocked on the company door nervously.

smart-

After a while, an older sister came out and opened the door.

“How did you come?”

“Ah, my name is Chulwoo Lee. I started working part-time today.”

“Ah~ yes. Hello. Please come in first.”

Upon entering, I saw a neatly organized office. The number of people was about 20 people, but it was not a very large company.

However, the atmosphere was unusual.

It seemed extremely busy, and everyone seemed nervous.

“Attorney Park! There’s a bug here, right? Do you want to do things this way?”

“sorry.”

“And Chief Joe! What the hell happened to you?

“sorry.”

Director Park Hae-min, who is in charge of Blue Light Development Director, was looking for employees.

“Hu, I know everyone is sensitive, but since it’s early days, let’s pay more attention.”

“Yes. I’ll take care of it.”

As I was about to say hello, someone approached Director Park first and started talking.

“Director Park, it’s a big problem. A fatal error has been found… I think we’ll have to shut down the server.”

“What are you talking about again!”
