Director Jung Woo-hyuk sneered.
“He’s bluffing again. Fine. Then why don’t you call your great boss?”
“You’ll have to take responsibility for that remark.”
Yoo-hyun’s stern words reached Director Jung Woo-hyuk, who was blinded by his prejudice and couldn’t see the situation clearly.
“Sure. Whatever.”
Director Jung Woo-hyuk snorted.
That’s when it happened.
A deep and firm voice ca from afar.
“There’s no need to call him.”
Thud thud.
The sound of shoes hitting the floor echoed in the quiet hallway.
Everyone’s eyes turned in unison.
Behind a middle-aged man in a classy navy suit, n in suits followed with solemn expressions.
Everyone tilted their heads at the appearance of the man who looked high-ranking.
‘He sure knows how to make a show.’
Yoo-hyun smiled as he watched the convincing scene.
Jeong Saet-byul, who recognized the man, shouted without any tact.
“Uh… Uh? It’s Prince Hwang.”
Buzz buzz.
The atmosphere in the hall beca noisy in an instant.
The most likely candidate for the next chairman of Hansung Group, the most likable chaebol third generation selected by netizens, and the leader of the next generation who decorated the front page of newspapers once a day. His presence was impressive.
Director Jung Woo-hyuk, who was blinking in confusion, was approached by Executive Shin Kyung-wook, who extended his hand.
“Hello. I’m Shin Kyung-wook, executive director.”
“Ah, hello. I’m Jung Woo-hyuk, director of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.”
Director Jung Woo-hyuk shook his hand and bowed his head.
He was in charge of the core of national industrial policy decisions, but he had no choice but to shrink in front of Executive Shin Kyung-wook’s charisma.
“Haha. Director Jung, I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re a remarkable person.”
“Where did you hear that?”
“Here, Yoo-hyun told .”
Executive Shin Kyung-wook put his arm around Yoo-hyun’s shoulder as if they were close friends.
Everyone blinked their eyes at that sight.
Director Jung Woo-hyuk forced a smile and hid his embarrassnt.
“I was impressed by your active performance at yesterday’s eting.”
“Haha. That’s right. It must have been hard for Yoo-hyun to handle the task that the chairman and the president entrusted him with, but he did a great job.”
“Ch-chairman?”
“Yes. The chairman was very pleased that we could exhibit on our own instead of with Ilsung. He said it was all thanks to you, director?”
Executive Shin Kyung-wook’s words made Director Jung Woo-hyuk’s eyes roll around.
He was cornered at that mont.
“Ah. Ha. Ha. Ha. Of course. Hansung’s display is stronger than Ilsung’s, right? Right, Shin manager?”
“Yes. Of course. I’ve been rooting for Hansung Electronics from the start.”
Jeong Da-hye snorted at Shin Kwang-se’s shaless words.
Then she glanced at Yoo-hyun.
He looked calm as if he had predicted this situation.
What was inside that man?
She wondered as she looked at him with curiosity.
At that mont, she t Yoo-hyun’s eyes.
She quickly turned her head away as if she had done sothing wrong when she saw him smile lightly.
anwhile, Executive Shin Kyung-wook entertained Director Jung Woo-hyuk with a relaxed expression.
“I’m glad you said that, director. We will also support the governnt more actively in the future with this opportunity.”
“Hansung is different indeed. I wanted to discuss with you about the national industry in the future.”
Director Jung Woo-hyuk tried to make a connection with him subtly.
It was then that Executive Shin Kyung-wook asked for his understanding and turned to Yoo-hyun.
“Let’s continue that conversation later. I have sothing to say to my employees.”
“Yes. I understand.”
Director Jung Woo-hyuk and Manager Shin Kwang-se stepped back.
Executive Shin Kyung-wook walked up to his employees and looked them in the eye one by one.
His small gesture made them straighten up their posture.
Executive Shin Kyung-wook said to them:
“It won’t be easy to exhibit in such a short period of ti. But I hope you know that this is a very important thing for our country.”
“Yes. Of course. We think it’s our duty to do this.”
Jang Jun-sik answered with pride on his face, and Executive Shin Kyung-wook nodded his head.
“I appreciate your thinking that way. Oh, and I’ll get the list of attendees here through Yoo-hyun.”
“…”
The employees were puzzled by his incomprehensible remark.
His next words turned the mood around.
“I’ll reward you accordingly for your hard work, so don’t be too upset.”
“Gasp.”
The employees were shocked, and Yang Yoon-soo bowed his head.
“Executive, I admired you since I saw you at the press conference. You have a charismatic speech and a gentle heart that cares for your employees. You’re amazing.”
He should have stopped there, but this ti Jeong Saet-byul spoke up.
“Executive, you’re handso. The best. The best.”
“Haha. Really. I can’t just reward you moderately for this, can I?”
Executive Shin Kyung-wook smiled with a good-natured tone and the atmosphere beca lively.
“Wow.”
“Aweso.”
The reward added to his warm words moved the people in an instant.
Executive Shin Kyung-wook knew how to deal with people.
He watched his employees smile with pleasure and whispered to Yoo-hyun.
“I see why you wanted to do the exhibition so much.”
“What do you an?”
Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes, and Executive Shin Kyung-wook glanced at Jeong Da-hye and said:
“You shouldn’t smile so happily if you want to hide it.”
He chuckled and pointed at Director Jung Woo-hyuk.
“Let’s talk about that later, and wrap it up quickly. His legs must be cramping.”
“That’s right. I think I paid off so of my debt with this.”
“Of course. It’s overflowing. I’ll buy you the next bean soup noodles.”
“Haha. Okay. Work a little harder for .”
Executive Shin Kyung-wook winked at Yoo-hyun and turned around.
Director Jung Woo-hyuk, Manager Shin Kwang-se, and the other officials followed him.
In the quiet atmosphere, a clap sounded suddenly.
Clap.
It was Ahn Hyung-yoon, who had been spouting nonsense until a while ago, who clapped his hands.
He, who had drawn everyone’s attention, suddenly started to show his leadership.
“Co on, there’s no ti to rest. Let’s get ready for the exhibition.”
“Yes. Let’s do that.”
“Let’s finish it quickly.”
The engineers began to move at the sa ti.
The work progressed at a speed that was incomparable to before.
Yoo-hyun smiled as he saw Jeong Da-hye, who was flustered.
The effect of Executive Shin Kyung-wook’s visit was trendous.
Director Jung Woo-hyuk, who had been glaring at Yoo-hyun, ca up to him first and offered his hand.
“Call if you need anything. I can buy you a cup of coffee anyti.”
“Yes. I love coffee, so I’ll definitely contact you.”
“Haha. This guy.”
He laughed as if he had forgotten his grudge.
What did Executive Shin Kyung-wook say to make him so happy?
Looking at him now, it seed like he had erased his connection with Ilsung long ago.
Manager Shin Kwang-se also showed his favor to Yoo-hyun.
“Let know if you need anything. I’ll help you with anything.”
“I do need sothing because of the exhibition. It’s…”
“That, too?”
“Yes. I need your help, manager.”
Yoo-hyun took this opportunity to get what he deserved from Manager Shin Kwang-se.
Thanks to that, Jeong Da-hye had less work to do.
Executive Shin Kyung-wook was not just a showman.
He created a good environnt for his employees to work in.
He booked a nearby luxury hotel for the engineers who ca from afar, and provided them with high-quality lunch boxes.
Thanks to that, the engineers were able to concentrate until late at night.
It was an achievent that could never have been done with just ntal strength, even if they worked for five days straight.
On the third night, late at night.
Ahn Hyung-yoon, who had finished his schedule safely, reached out his hand to Yoo-hyun.
“Thanks to you, I had a good experience. The juniors seem to have improved their skills a lot.”
“Don’t ntion it. Thank you for your hard work.”
The sharp eyes that he had shown to Yoo-hyun were gone.
He looked at him as if he was a close friend.
After saying goodbye to him, Yoo-hyun also sent Lee Jin-mok back.
“I got lucky. It was a good decision to co here.”
“Haha. Thank you for your support. I’ll visit Ulsan soti.”
“Yeah. There are a lot of people waiting for you.”
While Yoo-hyun was saying goodbye, the other exhibition managers also exchanged greetings with their group of engineers.
They seed to have beco close, as they could hear them talking here and there.
“Thank you for your help, manager.”
“Thank you for taking care of , Yoon-soo.”
“Saet-byul, if you need anything while preparing the rest, just contact anyti.”
“Yes. Of course, senior. I’ll call you.”
Jeong Saet-byul waved her hand vigorously and the engineer waved his arms back.
He looked like he had been influenced by Jeong Saet-byul’s energy despite his quiet appearance.
This series of actions might seem like nothing but a courtesy.
But these connections that were built up would co back soday.
Just like Yoo-hyun’s Ulsan factory connections that still helped him when he needed them.
Yoo-hyun looked at his juniors who had grown up a lot with experience and felt proud.
The engineers got on the company car and went to their respective accommodations.
After sending everyone off.
Jang Jun-sik, Yang Yoon-soo, and Jeong Saet-byul bowed their heads deeply in front of the building on the first floor.
Their voices were full of spirit as they said:
“We’ll go in now, sir.”
“Okay. Good job.”
As they received Yoo-hyun’s greeting, the three of them turned around without asking anything else.
They walked away quickly.
Yoo-hyun tilted his head as he watched them go.
Thud thud.
Behind Yoo-hyun, he heard Jeong Da-hye’s footsteps approaching.
She ca closer and looked at the backs of the three people who had shrunk to the size of her fingers and said:
“They were very active. They didn’t lose their nerve in front of the engineers either.”
“They’re good juniors.”
“Yes. They’re amazing for their age.”
“It’s not about age when it cos to work.”
It applied to both Jeong Da-hye, who prepared for a national event at a young age, and Yoo-hyun, who had the decision-making power for the exhibition at a young age.
Jeong Da-hye chuckled and nodded her head.
“That’s true. Do you want a cup of tea?”
“Sure.”
Yoo-hyun agreed without hesitation, as he had been waiting for the offer.
At that mont.
Next to the bus stop sign, three heads popped out.
Yang Yoon-soo whispered as he saw Yoo-hyun and Jeong Da-hye walking out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building.
“Look at that. I told you they were not just friends.”
“Oh my. Did you see that? The way they looked at each other? It was so sweet.”
Jeong Saet-byul clapped her hands and Jang Jun-sik tilted his head.
“They just look like they’re talking to .”
“Jun-sik, you don’t know anything about love. They’re exchanging love right now. How can they be so cute?”
Jeong Saet-byul made a heart with her hands and blinked her eyes.
It was then.
Beep.
Jang Jun-sik’s face turned pale as he looked at his phone.
“Gasp.”
“What?”
Yang Yoon-soo asked with a puzzled expression, and Jang Jun-sik stuttered.
“Th-the sir told us to stop ssing around and go in.”
“Wow. What do we do? Did he hear us?”
Jeong Saet-byul lowered her head in a panic, and the other two also turned their bodies around.
