Nadoha just wanted to check sothing.
-This is the right direction. I can’t stand watching those selfish bastards trample on good people for their own benefit.
He smirked as he recalled what Yoo-hyun had said.
“Well, I guess he’s not wrong. Then let’s do the job I was hired for.”
Click.
That was all it took to send the command he had entered beforehand. It was enough to completely destroy the complex system of the data center.
Nadoha watched the screen filled with jumbled characters and sent a completion ssage to Yoo-hyun.
This job felt strangely satisfying, unlike the ones he had done before.
Nadoha was smiling happily when he saw the ssage.
Ring. Ring.
His face crumpled when he saw the na that popped up on the screen.
“Why now of all tis…”
He hesitated for a mont, but he had no choice but to answer the phone.
At the sa ti.
Yoo-hyun was sitting at his office desk, grinning from ear to ear.
It was because of the ssage he had received from Nadoha a few minutes ago.
-Mission Complete. The data center is hard to recover unless they replace the equipnt.
“Just write in Korean.”
Yoo-hyun suppressed his laughter and sent a sincere thank you reply.
Kwon Se-jung, the assistant manager sitting across from him, asked curiously.
“What’s so funny?”
“Just, sothing very good happened.”
He felt so relieved that he wanted to shout out loud, but he held back because of Jeong Hyun-woo, who was preparing for the presentation.
Kwon Se-jung looked at him with a suspicious gaze.
“Sothing’s fishy. You’re not usually this happy. Could it be…”
“Could it be what?”
“Da-hye ca back to Korea, right?”
“What are you talking about?”
Yoo-hyun was dumbfounded, but Jeong Hyun-woo was not.
He had finished preparing for the presentation and his eyes widened.
“Hyung, is she your girlfriend? What does she look like?”
“I’ve seen her. She’s a consultant, and she’s very beautiful.”
“Wow! Really? Hyung, show a picture.”
Jeong Hyun-woo reached out his hand as soon as he heard Jang Jun-sik’s answer, but Yoo-hyun cut him off.
“Stop ssing around and let’s start the presentation.”
“I’m really curious.”
“It’s almost ti to leave. Do you know what ti it is?”
“Wow! Then we can’t do that. I’ll proceed like a bullet.”
Jeong Hyun-woo checked the clock on the wall and straightened his posture.
He had a rule to stick to the leaving ti on the days he had a company dinner, even if he had a knife on his neck.
Of course, that didn’t an he neglected his report.
He delivered the results of the ‘Mobile Display Developnt Direction Workshop’ that he had attended a while ago.
“OLED will be differentiated from LCD by emphasizing the flexible feature and will respond to additional custors besides Hansung Electronics…”
Yoo-hyun summarized it briefly after listening to him.
“They did a win-win deal.”
“Yes. Thanks to the managent innovation team, they gave us a lot of support.”
“Really?”
“It’s also because Kwon assistant manager got a promise of supply from Electronics.”
Jeong Hyun-woo gave credit to others at every important point, which was typical of him.
Kwon Se-jung felt embarrassed.
“Why are you bringing that up?”
“You did a great job. We even got a reward because of you.”
It wasn’t just Yoo-hyun who thought so.
Jeong In-wook, the team leader who had gone to Yeouido Center, also gave credit to the Future Technology TF for the smooth progress of the work.
-I didn’t expect the semiconductor display issue to co up at the decision eting. You guys made a good case with Electronics and we got a good deal. I don’t have anything to give you, so just eat a lot of snacks.
Thanks to him, there was a pile of snacks that Jeong In-wook had sent as a gift on the table.
Yoo-hyun nibbled on a fish cake and gestured.
“Is the presentation over?”
“The workshop summary part is over.”
“Are you sure?”
“Additionally, we prepared our response plan according to the changed developnt direction.”
“Really? Let’s hear it.”
Yoo-hyun was skeptical, to be honest.
Jeong Hyun-woo was good at managing things, but he was clumsy at planning. He thought it would take so ti for him to overco his weakness in technology.
But what do you know?
As soon as he heard the next part of the presentation, Yoo-hyun had to change his mind.
“The strategy group is currently divided into OLED and semiconductor display. In this structure, semiconductor display needs to diversify its custors to compete with OLED and…”
“Did you already look for other custors?”
Yoo-hyun asked in surprise, and Jeong Hyun-woo calmly answered.
“Yes. I’m working on it with Jun-sik.”
“Se-jung, did you know that too?”
Jeong Hyun-woo answered the question that followed.
He gave credit to others at every important point.
“Kwon assistant manager set the overall direction. He said we need to reduce our dependence on Hansung Electronics to grow the market.”
“What do you think, Hyun-woo?”
“I agree. I think we should do as much as we can with semiconductor display while we have the attention.”
Jang Jun-sik added a more realistic solution to Jeong Hyun-woo’s answer.
“The Future Leading Technology Team is also moving. If we connect the technology developnt and the custors, the project will go more smoothly.”
“What are you guys?”
Yoo-hyun asked incredulously, and Kwon Se-jung blinked.
“What? Is there a problem?”
“No, it’s just that the dia is talking about Google News every day, and you’re not excited?”
“Excited? What for? We got a reward, but we have to earn it.”
“That’s why it’s more absurd. You’ve already achieved your goals, why are you so proactive?”
“So what? We’re just doing what we want. We have the environnt to do that.”
It was not easy to do more than the set goals, even if the environnt was good.
If he borrowed the words of Kim Ho-geol, the senior executive who had left, the only person who did that in the company was the president.
But Kwon Se-jung and the two staff mbers acted as if it was natural.
Yoo-hyun clapped his hands as he watched his amazing colleagues.
Clap clap clap clap.
“You did so well. You all deserve to go to dinner.”
“Thank you!”
No one was happier than Junghyunwoo, who had finished his first presentation without any trouble.
He looked calm on the outside, but his hands were full of sweat from the nervousness.
The dinner place was decided as usual by Junghyunwoo’s report.
As he checked each one, he realized that he had been to more places than he hadn’t.
It was proof that he had been to many places.
The restaurant he chose this ti was a lamb skewer place, not far from the company.
Yoo-hyun chatted with his good colleagues in the restaurant that slled strongly of seasoning.
“I found out that there was a company called Semi Electronics among the clients I looked into, and there was a senior from my school there…”
“Besides Director Lim Hanseop, there is a guy nad Kang Jun-ki in the developnt team who is my friend…”
The conversation that started with work naturally moved on to everyday life.
Yoo-hyun enjoyed this ti when he could open up his heart with a glass of beer.
The others seed to feel the sa way, as there was no pause in the conversation.
“Hahaha!”
As he laughed heartily, Yoo-hyun rembered what Director Lee Jun-il had said.
-People don’t change. The ones who will be used as parts and the ones who will be touched are already decided when they are born.
To Director Lee Jun-il, the employees were just parts, but Yoo-hyun knew that it was not true.
There were many people who would grow endlessly if they had the right environnt, like the colleagues he saw in front of him.
It was not decided when they were born.
He only calculated his subordinates by their hourly efficiency, sothing he would never understand.
Deputy Kwon Se-jung waved his hand in front of Yoo-hyun’s face, who was lost in thought.
“What are you thinking about? You look spaced out.”
“Just. Soone annoying ca to mind.”
“Oh, the sociopath from the Group Strategy Office you ntioned before?”
“Sociopath. Well, that’s not a wrong word.”
Yoo-hyun smiled faintly.
It was a fitting analogy for soone who did not care about the ans and thods for success.
Yoo-hyun nodded his head and Deputy Kwon Se-jung asked.
“But why? What happened?”
“Today, everything he believed in collapsed. I wonder how he feels.”
“What happened?”
“It’s a long story. And not a very good one.”
Understanding Yoo-hyun’s deep feelings, Deputy Kwon Se-jung did not say much.
Instead, Junghyunwoo brought up his own experience.
“There were a lot of crazy people who only thought about themselves in Ulsan too.”
“Oh?”
“They had sothing in common when they realized sothing was wrong.”
“What was it?”
“First, they never admitted that they were wrong.”
As he heard Junghyunwoo’s words, Yoo-hyun imagined Director Lee Jun-il’s behavior.
He must have denied the reality with a blank face.
-I built countless firewalls. How can the data center system collapse completely?
-Do you know how long it took to set up the system? It’s a data center with my blood and sweat. It can’t possibly collapse. Check it again.
“Next, they bla others. 100 percent.”
Junghyunwoo said with a confident expression.
Yoo-hyun agreed with that too.
He could almost hear Director Lee Jun-il’s angry voice.
He might be yelling at his subordinates who were working hard in the data center full of computers and IT security equipnt.
What would his true face look like, unlike his usual arrogance?
-I knew sothing was wrong when the Innovation Strategy Office guys stabbed in the back. Who the hell is behind this? Tell right now!
-It’s all because of you idiots! It’s your fault!
“Lastly, they try to find the cause sowhere else. This kind of people never admit their own mistakes.”
As Junghyunwoo said, the logical Director Lee Jun-il would have gathered all the remaining data and analyzed the cause.
-That’s it! Joo Jaeo, he said he got rid of the bug too! He’s a fool, but he must have had so reason. Track him down quickly.
-It was weird since the day you went to Gwacheon. Who did you et then?
He might even ntion Yoo-hyun’s na in the process of chasing.
This was sothing Yoo-hyun had been aware of from the beginning.
Beep.
And the result was now on Yoo-hyun’s phone screen.
-Co see for a mont tomorrow morning. Co to Hansung Tower.
Yoo-hyun snorted at Director Lee Jun-il’s ssage.
“Who do you think you are, telling to co and go?”
“Huh? Did I say sothing wrong?”
Junghyunwoo looked puzzled, and Yoo-hyun explained the situation clearly.
“No. You know a lot. Are you a sociopath expert?”
“I’ve t all kinds of people. So I know a little.”
“Then a question. What kind of reaction would that person have when he finds out the cause?”
“His eyes would roll back.”
Junghyunwoo’s words sparked Yoo-hyun’s curiosity.
“What about next?”
“I don’t know. I stopped talking to them after that.”
“Right. That’s the right thing to do, but I’m curious.”
Yoo-hyun was planning to tornt Director Lee Jun-il for a while.
But the sudden curiosity made him choose a different option.
It was not often that he had a chance to see the face of a toothless tiger, was it?
