Chapter 328
“You’ll see when you co to Korea.”
Yoo-hyun smiled and looked at the monitor.
There was a news article on the screen.
The sa thing that happened in the past was happening now.
***
After a brief escapade in Insadong, the atmosphere in the departnt changed subtly.
He could feel it from the morning commute.
Of course, Jang Jun Sik greeted him as usual, stiffly.
“Good morning.”
“Jun Sik, good morning. You ca early.”
Lee Chan Ho, the assistant manager, received his greeting warmly.
It was a huge improvent compared to the past when he wouldn’t even make eye contact.
Not only Lee Chan Ho, but also other departnt mbers casually chatted with Jang Jun Sik.
Even Hwang Dong Sik, the assistant manager who never approached him first, asked him how he was doing.
“Jun Sik, did you work overti again that day?”
“Yes. I did.”
Kim Young Gil, the section chief, showed him the photo he took that day.
“Jun Sik, you looked good in the photo. Did you see it?”
“Yes. I saw it.”
But Jang Jun Sik was still rigid.
He seed to cling to his work more, as if he was afraid of people coming closer.
He was clearly uncomfortable with human relationships.
Tadadadadak.
Jang Jun Sik, who had his nose on the monitor, typed on the keyboard without a break.
Yoo-hyun shook his head as he watched him.
A day of adventure didn’t change Jang Jun Sik, but Yoo-hyun wasn’t impatient.
He knew it was part of the process of change.
So he lived as usual, leisurely.
He t people and talked to them, he called here and there and communicated.
He was on the phone right now, too.
The caller was Jung In Wook, the head of Ultra High Definition TF.
He took the initiative and told him about the progress of the project.
-We’re about to get the panel made from the existing LCD line. Did you get the data I sent you?
“Yes. I saw it.”
-And we also filed a patent for…
He even told him what kind of patent they were applying for.
It was like he didn’t have to do anything as a project manager.
He was grateful and overreacted.
“Really? That’s great.”
-It seems to be going well, but it’s not easy.
“Hey, why are you being so weak? It doesn’t suit you.”
-People are too interested. I’m so stressed out.
That was true.
It was a project that the business director himself was interested in.
From the perspective of a rookie team leader, it was very burdenso.
Yoo-hyun sincerely said a word to him.
“The leader has to be stressed and tired so that the people below can be comfortable. So you can work harder.”
-Ah! Don’t say that.
“I’m not kidding. I’m serious.”
-I know. But hearing that from you makes feel worse. It feels like I’m standing in front of my boss.
Jung In Wook complained with his voice full of emotion. Yoo-hyun teased him as if he was next to him.
“Hey, you like it.”
-Kid. I love it. Are you done? Are you done?
Jung In Wook’s angry voice ca out loud and clear.
He laughed so hard that he could imagine his crumpled expression vividly.
“Hahahaha!”
He laughed so loudly that people around him looked at him one by one.
Yoo-hyun covered his phone with one hand and naturally got up from his seat.
There was soone who looked at his back with an uneasy look.
It was Jang Jun Sik’s face sitting next to him.
-You’re lucky to have Han Yoo-hyun as your senior. So learn from him and watch him closely. It will definitely help you a lot.
He recalled what Choi Min Hee, the deputy director, had said during the interview and shook his head.
To him, Yoo-hyun was nothing but a scoundrel.
He couldn’t understand why he got people’s trust for so reason.
So Jang Jun Sik worked harder on making data with orthodox thods.
This ti, he would definitely break Yoo-hyun’s nose.
anwhile, Yoo-hyun went out to the hallway and finished talking with Jung In Wook. He checked his phone screen afterwards.
There were several missed calls while he was talking for a long ti.
Yoo-hyun called them back one by one.
The na of Jeong Yeon Sik, the president of NaviTi, appeared on the phone screen.
“Mr. President, long ti no see. How have you been?”
-Haha! Yeah. Didn’t you co on a business trip once? I asked Choi, the deputy director, but I haven’t heard from him yet.
NaviTi’s next-generation navigation system, which will be supplied to Hyunil Automobile, was in the final stages of developnt.
NaviTi also used Hanseong LCD this ti, and Choi Min Hee, the deputy director, was in charge of it last year.
It wasn’t Yoo-hyun’s project, but he had so spare ti and wanted to go.
“I was going to contact you. I have to drink a cup of Yongjeong tea with you.”
-It’s expensive, but I’ll prepare it for you. Haha! And…
Jeong Yeon Sik seed reluctant to hang up and talked about this and that.
He had a long conversation with him, so Yoo-hyun also enjoyed talking to him.
The next person he called was Jang Hye Min, the head of the design center at the mobile phone division.
The purpose of the call was obvious, so Yoo-hyun went straight to the point.
“Yes, Mr. Jang, you called about the design?”
-Yes. The digital watch design I sent you…
Jang Hye Min explained the design.
She incorporated various concepts that were different from what Yoo-hyun suggested at the previous European exhibition.
“Did you see it? It looked good.”
-I’m nervous about what Laura Parker will say. You’re going to the promotion team eting, right?
“I’m on standby for now. They’ll contact .”
As Yoo-hyun answered, Jang Hye Min sounded anxious.
She was confident in front of the executives, but she was paralyzed in front of her idol Laura Parker.
-Please tell Laura Parker properly if you go in. The promotion people don’t understand well.
“I got it. I’ll take care of your design.”
-Please. And when Jae Hee graduates…
“Haha! Yes. That would be nice. See you then.”
Yoo-hyun hung up the phone cheerfully.
He always felt good when he talked to him.
Most of the things related to Yoo-hyun were contained in a few phone calls.
Not only the projects he was in charge of, but also other projects in the departnt, and even external requests.
Yoo-hyun did the work that several people had to handle by just sitting on the bench in the hallway and smiling on the phone.
It was possible because he had ‘people’ rather than ‘work’.
This was the essence of working life.
It was also what Jang Jun Sik completely missed.
Yoo-hyun thought so as he returned to his seat.
Jiing.
His phone rang and he checked it. It was a ssage from Kim Sung Deuk, the section chief, or rather, he had been promoted to deputy director.
-As expected, Laura Parker is looking for you. I need a favor. She’s in VIP eting room B.
It was a request that ca much earlier than the expected eting ti.
Laura Parker’s word must have changed everything.
Yoo-hyun smiled and replied, then walked away.
When he arrived at his seat, he looked at Jang Jun Sik sharply.
Tadadadadak.
Jang Jun Sik must have felt him coming, but he was still doing his own thing.
He had a face full of worries as he made the data.
The result was obvious.
Yoo-hyun called him out bluntly.
“Jun Sik, let’s go to the eting.”
“I don’t think I need to be there. I’ll pass.”
Jang Jun Sik looked at Yoo-hyun and said, stopping his typing.
He didn’t look at Yoo-hyun’s eyes, but at the empty space.
He still had the aftermath of being taken to Insadong.
“What do you know about the eting?”
“I don’t know.”
Jang Jun Sik shook his head and Yoo-hyun didn’t waste ti and got to the point.
“It’s a eting in the VIP eting room.”
“VIP eting room?”
“Yes. On the 15th floor.”
“Really? I don’t think I can attend.”
“Your na is on the reservation list. Let’s go.”
Yoo-hyun left him a word and turned around, but Jang Jun Sik was stunned.
He had been working for a year, but it was his first ti to enter the VIP eting room.
Jang Jun Sik ca to his senses and followed Yoo-hyun with his stuff.
A mont later.
Yoo-hyun went up to the 15th floor and checked his identity with the guide, then moved to the VIP eting room.
The marble floor and luxurious wall materials gave a different feeling from other floors.
Jang Jun Sik followed Yoo-hyun with a nervous expression.
The guide in front of the eting room kindly said,
“Mr. Han, this is the eting room.”
“Thank you.”
Kkiiik.
As soon as the eting room door opened, the inside scenery ca into Yoo-hyun’s eyes.
They were obviously high-ranking people gathered there.
They all had stiff expressions, as if the eting atmosphere wasn’t very good.
Then, a woman sitting at the head of the eting room stood up from her seat.
Ttoktokttoktok.
She approached Yoo-hyun and took off her trademark white gloves and reached out her hand.
“Steve, long ti no see.”
“Yes, Laura. How have you been?”
Yoo-hyun held her hand and asked her how she was doing in German. Laura Parker received his words pleasantly.
“Of course. I’m sorry for calling you in so suddenly.”
“Not at all. I was hoping you would call .”
“Really? Then I should have called you sooner.”
Even if they didn’t know German, they could guess their friendly relationship from the atmosphere.
The people who were in an ice-cold mood just before just blinked their eyes.
Jang Jun Sik, who hadn’t grasped the situation yet, was just bewildered.
Thunk.
Yoo-hyun sat down and checked the posture of the participants, Laura Parker’s gaze, the data on the screen, and the position of the presenter. He quickly grasped the situation.
Click.
Jo Sung Eun, the deputy director of the promotion team at the mobile phone division who exchanged eye contact with Yoo-hyun, put up data on the screen.
“Then I’ll continue with my presentation. This is about the channel watch we’re reviewing…”
Regardless of the presentation, Laura Parker looked at Yoo-hyun with more trust in her eyes.
On the other hand, Jang Jun Sik was unfamiliar with everything that was happening here.
‘She was really sothing…’
When he was in marketing team before, Jang Jun Sik had t Jo Sung Eun, the deputy director.
Even Seong Woong Jin, the deputy director who used to brag in front of him, was completely a chick who ate honey.
He thought it would be the sa this ti, but what?
It was as if the roles of the master and the servant were reversed.
Before Jang Jun Sik could co to his senses, Jo Sung Eun’s presentation was over.
Laura Parker ignored everyone else and asked Yoo-hyun first.
“What do you think, Steve?”
“To be honest, I like the design concept better than any other digital watch I’ve seen.”
“That’s because your opinion was included last ti.”
“That was just the base. If you look at the finishing touches and the strap replacent parts…”
Yoo-hyun talked about the whole product, not just the LCD parts.
He saw a smile on Laura Parker’s lips, who had been standing still after receiving the report.
“As expected. You see right through it.”
“I can tell you put a lot of effort into it. But to increase the practicality, you should change the strap replacent part…”
Yoo-hyun added his idea and pointed out the changes.
