Chapter 372
A mont later.
The people who ca to the reservoir fishing spot had to admit Yoo-hyuns words.
Jang Junsik, who was sitting with a determined posture and watching the float, lifted his fishing rod with a flash.
Swish.
Wow. I got one.
His inflexible mouth rang in their ears.
The others didnt need to say anything.
This fishing spot is no joke.
Free bait, free spot, tent and platform.
I see why Han Daeri stays here on weekends.
Everyone nodded their heads at Kim Younggils words.
anwhile, Yoo-hyun was focused on fishing.
Swish.
Splash.
As Yoo-hyun lifted his fishing rod, another fish ca out.
He caught ten tis more than Jang Junsik, who caught the most.
Kim Hyunmin, the team leader, licked his tongue at the sight.
This kid is really a master fisherman.
Golf was good and fishing was good, but nothing beat at outdoors.
Sizzle.
On the large grill in front of the platform, pork belly was cooked.
The savory sll of oil spread with the cool late autumn wind.
Jang Junsik grabbed the tongs.
He flipped the at with a fire in his eyes, just like he did when he was fishing.
Junsik, just do it roughly.
Jang Junsik made an awkward expression at Yoo-hyuns words, who was sitting on the platform.
Daeri, the fire is too strong for that.
Then just move the at to the edge.
Ah. Of course. Youre the daeri.
Jang Junsik nodded his head with a fierce sound, and Kim Hyunmin spat out a laugh.
Junsik is really funny. Why does he shrink in front of Han Daeri?
Its not just . You saw how the villagers treat seonbae.
Kim Hyunmin blinked his eyes at Jang Junsiks sharp answer.
Thats true.
What kind of answer is that?
Yoo-hyun asked incredulously, and Kim Hyunmin gestured to the back of the platform.
Look at all that makgeolli. Doesnt that make you say that?
It was makgeolli that Lee Youngnam personally brewed and told them to taste.
Yoo-hyun swept his butt over the platform and picked up a bottle of makgeolli.
Clack.
He then filled an empty bowl with makgeolli.
anwhile, Kim Younggil added a word.
They also installed lights and a grill here. It seems like they did it because of Han Daeri.
Baeyongseok personally installed a big light on this platform table.
He gave them a grill, lit the charcoal, and even prepared firewood and mosquito repellent for camping.
Thats not all. What about tangsuyuk? Hyungnim personally brought it for us.
I was surprised when I saw the butcher shop owner co and cut the at for us.
Hwang Dongshik and Lee Chanho also chid in.
Kim Hyunmin sumd it up and said,
Yoo-hyun, what did you do here? What did you do to make the villagers take care of you?
Its not that theyre taking care of , theyre all having fun.
Yoo-hyun pointed his chin at the platform in the distance.
There were villagers, including Lee Youngnam, having a drink there.
They obviously gathered under the pretext of taking care of Yoo-hyun and decided to have fun while they were at it.
Thats
As Kim Hyunmin was about to open his mouth, Yoo-hyun spoke first.
Team leader, and thats not important.
Huh? Then?
Whats important is that our glasses are full right now.
Yoo-hyun smiled and lifted his glass.
Everyone was nervous as Choi Minhee laughed softly.
What are you doing? The alcohol will get cold. Junsik, co on.
Yes. Im coming.
Jang Junsik ran over and grabbed a glass.
He glanced at the grill, worried that the at might burn.
Kim Hyunmin, the team leader, spat out a laugh and raised his voice.
Co on. Lets drink up and empty the bottles.
Sure.
Yoo-hyun replied and passed him a glass.
It all started with a glass of makgeolli.
The alcohol called for more alcohol, and the at called for more alcohol.
The stars in the night sky and the sound of crickets from everywhere also called for more alcohol.
Whooosh.
The firewood burning in front of them also enhanced the taste of alcohol.
They had already emptied all the bottles of makgeolli, and it was ti for soju.
Yoo-hyun cooked so ran and served it on plates to his colleagues.
Wow. It slls amazing.
Ran is the best with soju.
Kim Hyunmin, the team leader, exclaid and Yoo-hyun winked at him.
At the sa ti, exclamations popped up from here and there.
This is really good.
This is the best ran Ive ever had.
His skill in cooking ran, honed at fishing spots, ca in handy.
anwhile, Jang Junsik was drunk and muttered nonsense.
Team leader, I should have I should have
It was obvious that he would cause trouble if he kept talking here.
Yoo-hyun quietly sat down on the opposite side of the platform.
Crackle crackle.
The bonfire blazed in front of him.
Choi Minhee, the deputy manager who sat next to him, poured so alcohol into Yoo-hyuns empty glass.
Yoo team leader, this village seems really nice.
Yeah. I like it very much.
Dont you want to stay here?
To be honest, I do have that feeling.
Did she feel his sincerity in his words?
She put down the bottle and looked at him.
Many emotions flashed through her eyes as they t his.
Apology, gratitude, regret and expectation.
She smiled, but she was in a situation where she had a lot of burden on her shoulders.
She was going to be the team leader of the integrated business unit TF that would soon be launched.
She knew it already, but she didnt say anything about how hard it was.
She didnt want to burden him, so she avoided ntioning anything about the company.
Instead, she asked him earnestly.
I need you. I hope you co back soon.
Yes. I will.
Yoo-hyun answered her call right away.
Choi Minhee, the deputy manager, asked him unexpectedly.
You answer right away this ti? Last ti you hesitated.
At that ti, his mind was complicated with worries about the future he had to fix.
But not anymore.
He had cleared his mind and knew exactly what he had to do now.
His heart was expressed in words.
Of course. Ive sorted things out now.
Good. Lets drink.
Clang.
Choi Minhee smiled happily.
While Yoo-hyun was talking with Choi Minhee, Jang Junsik completely lost his mind.
He lay down on the platform and kept calling Yoo-hyun in a low voice.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm Yoo team leader.
Hey, if you sleep here, your mouth will twist.
Yoo-hyun finally lifted Jang Junsik off the platform and helped him stand up.
He draped his limp arm over his shoulder, and Kim Younggil, the manager who wore shoes, ca over and took the other shoulder.
Yoo-hyun asked Kim Younggil as they walked with Jang Junsik between them.
Why does he pass out whenever he drinks?
To be exact, its because youre here.
He didnt do that when I wasnt here?
No. He never did that before.
What was he thinking?
Yoo-hyun shook his head.
Thud. Thud.
Yoo-hyun climbed up the steep stairs with Kim Young Gil, his senior manager.
As they walked the hard path together, he rembered the ti they had shared a VIP room.
It was so fun when we prepared for the Apple product review.
too. I havent had anything as exciting as that lately.
That ans youve beco more bold.
Ha ha. Yeah. Thanks for the good advice, Steve.
Congratulations, Daniel.
The two n smiled at each other, with Jang Joon Shik in between them.
At the sa ti.
While the remaining team mbers were cleaning up the platform, Kim Hyun Min, the team leader, was sitting on a different platform.
In front of him were the villagers, and for so reason, they were all listening attentively.
Even Lee Young Nam swallowed his saliva and paid attention to his words.
Kim Hyun Min, whose face was flushed red, continued his speech.
He was already drunk and half out of his mind.
Our Han Daeri gave a presentation in front of the vice president
Huh. The vice president?
Yes. And thanks to him, Han Daeri got promoted.
Wow wow wow wow.
The villagers responded enthusiastically, and Kim Hyun Min shrugged his shoulders.
Thats not all.
Then what else?
Han Daeri went down to the Ulsan factory a while ago
Huh. He completely changed that big factory?
Lee Young Nam blinked in surprise, and Kim Hyun Min nodded vigorously.
Yes. Hes a really amazing guy. Of course, I raised him.
Wow, Kim team leader is amazing too.
The villagers praised him and filled his cup with rice wine.
As his cup emptied, the villagers ears fluttered more.
The next day.
The people who woke up ca out one by one and gathered on the platform in front of the factory site.
The last one to co out was Kim Hyun Min.
Yoo-hyun handed him a hangover relief drink as he crawled out.
Team leader, what did you do until late last night?
Huh? Didnt you co in with ?
Yes. But you seed to co in very late.
Huh. I dont rember anything.
Kim Hyun Min scratched his head, and Yoo-hyun shrugged it off.
There werent many people who were sober among them.
The course for that day wasnt bad either.
Thanks to Jeon Il Ho delivering seolleongtang (ox bone soup), the people had a hearty breakfast.
Then they finished the remaining course of park golf that they couldnt do yesterday.
They also drank sikhye (sweet rice drink) that a village lady handed them under the hammock that Yoo-hyun had hung up.
Kim Hyun Min, who was lying on the hammock, exclaid.
This place is really heaven.
I totally agree.
Everyone else nodded their heads too.
Their reaction was completely different from when they first ca here.
Ti passed, and it was ti to go back.
The staff mbers who said goodbye to Yoo-hyun got in the car.
Vroom.
On the way back.
Deputy Hwang Dong-shik, who was looking at the village getting farther away from the window, said.
It was really fun. The scenery was so beautiful too.
Park golf and fishing were also great. This village is going to be a huge hit.
Then, Jang Joon-shik, who was holding the steering wheel, chid in with an excited expression.
His serious expression from before was nowhere to be seen.
What I especially liked was
As Jang Joon-shik, who was usually quiet, started to chatter, the others also joined in with a word or two.
Thanks to that, another village review eting was held in the car.
It was a short two days, but they all had a lot of things to say because they had such a good feeling.
The conclusion was envy towards Yoo-hyun.
It would be nice to live like Deputy Han.
Deputy Chief Choi Min-hees words made Chief Kim Young-gil nod his head.
He gets along well with the people here, having fun and not stressing over anything. He cant help but be happy.
What are we living for?
Deputy Hwang Dong-shik suddenly asked a serious question, and the car beca quiet for a mont.
Team Leader Kim Hyun-min asked with a dumbfounded expression.
What are you talking about? We live to make money.
Deputy Han gets paid the sa as us.
Thats true. Im jealous.
As Team Leader Kim Hyun-min quickly backed down, laughter erupted from all over the car.
They all looked happy as if they had received good energy on their way back.
After Yoo-hyuns team left.
The rumor about Yoo-hyun spread among the villagers again.
Well, Yoo-hyuns team leader said
Oh my, oh my. I knew it would be like that.
They said Deputy Han is amazing.
Ho ho ho. I knew it from the first ti I saw him.
The ladies sitting on the supermarket bench clapped their hands like seals and enjoyed themselves.
From their looks, they felt affection for Yoo-hyun.
