Real Man

Chapter 643:

Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, had a broad vision that even Yoo-hyun acknowledged.

He had a good sense and a penetrating insight into the situation.

What would he look like if he understood the whole picture behind the scenes?

That was something Yoo-hyun was curious about and wanted to check, but it was not the right time until now.

It was too big a story to tell someone who was not ready.

But now he had no reason to hide it anymore.

And he wanted to confirm something too.

In that sense, Yoo-hyun asked.

“Se-jung, I told you earlier that it was obvious why I stayed and didn’t go on a business trip, right?”

“I’m curious. Tell me. Then I’ll tell you everything.”

Kwon Se-jung, who had no idea what Yoo-hyun’s intention was, perked up his ears.

“Honestly?”

“Yeah. Honestly.”

“Isn’t it because of Director Shin Kyung-soo that you’re staying this time?”

“Why do you think so?”

“It was on the news that he was about to return. And you’ve been paying a lot of attention to him since before.”

It was unexpected that he pointed out Shin Kyung-soo’s return right away, but it was within the range of prediction.

Yoo-hyun went deeper.

“Right. But why do you think I’m paying attention to him?”

“You said you were going to have a successor battle with the vice president. Isn’t that why?”

“How do you think the successor battle will proceed?”

“Well, the Innovation Strategy Office will continue to do what they have been doing, so I guess Director Shin Kyung-soo’s side will…”

Kwon Se-jung stuttered, but he managed to point out the composition of the new organization.

It was quite close to the actual progress.

It was not easy to do that without a perspective that looked at the whole.

Would he be able to see further if he had more background knowledge?

Maybe it would be another opportunity for him to grow to the next level.

Yoo-hyun smiled inwardly and revealed what he had heard from Yeo Tae-sik, the executive director, a while ago.

“The name of the organization you mentioned will be the Planning and Coordination Office. And…”

The successor battle structure was just the beginning.

He mentioned the holding company system, the scenario of Shin Kyung-soo’s return, and more.

He shared many things that he knew.

Of course, he didn’t just tell everything, but he made room for Kwon Se-jung’s thoughts to intervene in between.

It was to help his growth.

In the meantime, the beer glasses were emptied so much that it was hard to count.

Kwon Se-jung looked dazed.

“The next chairman’s seat is in our hands?”

“To be precise, it’s Hansung’s future.”

“It’s the same thing. How did you do all this, Yoo-hyun?”

He seemed to still not believe it, maybe because it was such a huge story.

Yoo-hyun corrected the wrong part.

“You seem to have misunderstood, but I don’t have much to do with it. Other people are working harder than me.”

“Still. You’re staying when Director Shin Kyung-soo returns.”

“I don’t have anything to do when I stay. I’m not going to fight him.”

“But you said it was because of Director Shin Kyung-soo that you stayed.”

Yoo-hyun didn’t care much about Shin Kyung-soo’s return.

He had no reason to be afraid, since he already had a clear idea of how the opponent would appear.

But there was something more important to Yoo-hyun.

“To be exact, it’s after Director Shin Kyung-soo arrives. That’s when the integrated organization will be created.”

“Integrated organization? What’s that?”

“Well, that is…”

That day, Yoo-hyun told Kwon Se-jung quite a lot of stories.

It was an amazing sight to see two close friends talking endlessly about the company with beer glasses between them.

Still, Kwon Se-jung’s eyes were more sparkling than ever.

After that day, Kwon Se-jung changed a bit.

He became calmer and his eyes became more serious.

He didn’t just do what he was told, but he tried to take the initiative.

Yoo-hyun spoke to him, who was working hard on the data today.

“Se-jung, take it easy.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“No. I have to make this smartphone a success.”

“Yeah. I like your determination, but it’s not something you can do alone.”

“I know. I’m just trying to help as much as I can.”

He was as enthusiastic as if he had become Jang Jun-sik, the deputy.

Even Kim Sung-deuk, the chief who always scolded him, was surprised.

Should he see this as a positive thing?

Yoo-hyun shook his head.

Kwon Se-jung’s efforts continued until the day of the MWC trip.

He planned the exhibition visit in detail and prepared what he could in advance in Korea.

He didn’t just take care of himself, but he also cared about the other two deputies.

He coordinated all the details, so Yoo-hyun didn’t have much to do.

Yoo-hyun decided to give some realistic advice to his colleagues who were leaving far away.

He looked at the three colleagues who had packed their luggage at the bus stop in front of the company.

First, he spoke to Kwon Se-jung, who would lead them.

“Se-jung, you just need to be careful of your temper.”

“Hey, that was just a moment.”

“Anyway. Don’t go there and pick a fight with the Ilsung guys.”

“That’s ridiculous. Who would do such a crazy thing at an exhibition?”

Yoo-hyun quickly accepted Kwon Se-jung’s words.

“Who? It was Director Kim Hyun-min.”

“What?”

To Kwon Se-jung, who was incredulous, Yoo-hyun confirmed.

“Director Kim Hyun-min tried to grab the collar of the Ilsung guys as soon as he saw them at the previous European exhibition.”

“Really? Does that make sense?”

“It’s true. Anyway, you said it was a crazy thing, right? You’ll regret it.”

“Hey, man, that’s not what I meant.”

Yoo-hyun left behind the flustered Kwon Se-jung and looked at Jang Jun-sik, the deputy.

He could see his determination to do Yoo-hyun’s share as well from his eyes full of resolution.

“Jun-sik, do you remember the tourist attractions I told you?”

“Yes. I researched and organized all five of them.”

“Good. You have to take proof shots of all of them and come back. And don’t just take pictures, but also eat at the restaurants I told you.”

“Yes? But what about the exhibition…”

“It’s not a joke, it’s a meaningful thing to say.”

“Okay. I’ll do my best.”

Jang Jun-sik, who was momentarily confused, soon made a firm expression.

He thought it was Yoo-hyun’s teaching.

It was true.

Having time to look around outside of work would help his growth.

Yoo-hyun smiled and moved on to Jung Hyun-woo, the deputy.

He was so worried that he would die, but now he was quite excited about his first overseas trip.

He was smiling brightly with a carrier in his hand.

Yoo-hyun congratulated him.

“Be sure to share a room with Shin Manager.”

“Hyung, why are you doing this to me?”

“I’m doing it because I like you, because I like you.”

Tap tap.

Yoo-hyun patted the shoulder of Jung Hyun-woo, who quickly became gloomy.

He was joking, but sticking with Shin Nak-kyun, the manager, would be a great help to him.

There were not many people who had dealt with as many overseas companies as Shin Nak-kyun, the manager.

That was the end of his advice.

The airport bus arrived and the colleagues got on one by one.

Jang Jun-sik, who stuck his head out of the window, shouted loudly.

“Manager, I’ll report the progress to you every day.”

“That’s enough, man.”

Kwon Se-jung added more.

“Yoo-hyun, take good care of the company.”

“Hyung, if you’re lonely, call me. I’ll answer.”

Yoo-hyun chuckled at Jung Hyun-woo’s words.

What would they look like when they came back?

Yoo-hyun was looking forward to seeing his colleagues who would grow a lot.

The moment the bus disappeared, his phone rang at a good timing.

He checked his phone and saw that it was a message from Park Doo-sik, the chief.

-Director Shin Kyung-soo will arrive tomorrow. A press conference has been scheduled at the airport as planned.

Yoo-hyun felt very calm after checking the content.

He didn’t feel any emotion even though it was something he had been waiting for.

He just thought that what was coming had come.

Swish.

Yoo-hyun put his phone away and moved his steps.

The direction was not Hansung Tower.

He had somewhere to go for a much more important meeting than Shin Kyung-soo’s arrival.

Yoo-hyun’s destination was the second floor of the gym building, Double Y.

Trudge trudge.

Yoo-hyun walked and recalled the message he had received from Nadoha in the morning.

-Hyung, I have something to show you. Please stop by whenever you have time.

What did he want to show him?

He intuitively knew that it was what he had been secretly preparing for.

He was too curious, but he couldn’t ask because he had been hiding it so well.

That’s why he wanted to check it more.

That was why he took the time to come early.

He arrived at the building and passed the bustling gimbap shop on the first floor and went up to the second floor.

The office was still empty, probably because he hadn’t hired any staff yet.

But it was neatly cleaned.

It was thanks to Nadoha’s grandmother, who came up and tidied up after finishing her work.

“I should hire a cleaning company employee or something.”

Yoo-hyun muttered softly as he opened the door to the representative’s office.

Creak.

Park Young-hoon, who was caught off guard by the unexpected visit, flinched.

“What are you doing here at this hour?”

“Can’t I come?”

Thud.

Yoo-hyun put a chocolate cake on the table and sat on the sofa. Park Young-hoon frowned.

“Do you always bring chocolate cake? Don’t you have anything else?”

“I bought it for you. Where’s Nadoha?”

“I don’t know. Maybe he went out for a bit. Can you call him?”

“I have a phone too. But what are you doing?”

Yoo-hyun took out his phone and looked at Park Young-hoon, who was glued to the monitor.

Unlike usual, he seemed very focused. He murmured.

“I’m participating in an investment contest.”

“I thought Nadoha’s program does that for you.”

“It does. But it’s fun to watch this… Oh! It’s going up. It’s going up.”

“You sound like an old man at the racetrack.”

Yoo-hyun gave a hollow laugh as he watched Park Young-hoon’s excitement.

He didn’t care much, but he felt like he should show some interest.

He knew what Park Young-hoon was going to say, but he obliged.

“Come here and see.”

“No thanks. You’re just going to brag again.”

“This time it’s real. Come on.”

Park Young-hoon pointed at the monitor as Yoo-hyun approached.

“Look at this. I really didn’t touch anything. The program did everything automatically. If you look at the records here, you can see that it sold everything when the 15-minute candlestick broke down, and then bought back at the turning point…”

He must have changed his trading strategy to be more aggressive today.

The record sheet was filled with buy and sell entries.

Yoo-hyun was more amazed by Nadoha’s program than Park Young-hoon’s investment theory.

Where could he find an employee who could make such a thing for the representative in a matter of days?

Not to mention, it also kept detailed records of everything.

Park Young-hoon was still going on and on when it happened.

Bang.

The door opened with a harsh sound.

“Hyung, I told you not to touch the records on the server… Huh? Yoo-hyun hyung?”

“Why are you so surprised? Come here and sit down. Let’s have some cake.”

Yoo-hyun gestured, and Nadoha looked bewildered.

“Why are you here at this time…”

“He asked you to come.”

“I didn’t know you would come so early. I’m not ready yet.”

“You can do it later.”

Nadoha, who came to his senses at Yoo-hyun’s suggestion, said.

“No, I can’t. Just a moment. Young-hoon hyung, don’t touch the ones on the server, use the ones installed on your computer. Got it?”

“What?”

“The stock auto-trading program. You keep messing with it and the test doesn’t work, the test.”

Nadoha, who quickly fired off his words, ran away again.
