Yoo-hyun didn’t just eat a lot of different kinds of kimbap.
He often stopped by the construction site to check the progress, and talked with the food service consultant that Park Young-hoon had invited.
“I wish the president would focus only on making kimbap…”
“To do that, he needs to find a reliable source of side dishes…”
The main topic was efficient managent.
Yoo-hyun didn’t want his grandmother to work herself to death out of responsibility.
The consultant also said that it was not a good direction for sustainable managent.
He didn’t just say it, but also prepared so alternatives.
One of them was sothing that Yoo-hyun could definitely help with.
It was the last night of 2011.
Seeing Yoo-hyun who ca down to his hotown, his mother asked with a worried look.
“Is it the kimbap place that your precious younger brother runs? I hope you’re not causing him trouble.”
“Mom, why would using your side dishes be trouble?”
“Aren’t there a lot of side dish shops around there? They can just get them from there if they need them, why do they have to get them by delivery?”
His mother was secretly worried that Yoo-hyun was being considerate.
If it was before, Yoo-hyun would have done that, but not now.
He knew very well that his mother’s side dish shop was doing well, so there was no reason to force it.
Yoo-hyun gave his honest opinion.
“It’s not , it’s the president and the consultant who compared and tasted them. They said your jinmichae and odengbokkeum are amazing.”
“Well, I’m glad then…”
Seeing his mother hesitating, Han Jae-hee, who was next to him, said impatiently.
“Mom, just do it. It’s a good thing to sign a formal contract, why are you so worried?”
“I’ve never done this before.”
“Don’t worry, oppa did all the thinking. Mom, just stamp it. It’s a place that needs your help for sure.”
At Han Jae-hee’s words, his mother’s eyes widened.
“Why? Because of that Do-ha kid?”
“Yeah. I owe him a lot.”
“What do you owe him? Did you get into debt?”
“Are you kidding ? Am I crazy?”
“Then what? He’s still a student, right? What do you have to owe him?”
Han Jae-hee was able to organize his design portfolio at once with the help of Nadoha.
Thanks to that, his dark company life brightened up, but it was awkward to tell the truth.
“Why are you so nosy? It’s nothing.”
As Han Jae-hee dodged the question, his mother beca more persistent.
“It’s strange when I think about it. It’s not like you to design a sign for soone else’s shop.”
“What are you talking about? That’s because oppa…”
“Stop it and tell . Is it sothing like a crush?”
“Are you out of your mind? He’s much younger than .”
“Then what?”
“Ugh, I’m frustrated. Oppa, you tell her.”
Han Jae-hee pounded his chest and asked for help, but Yoo-hyun was in a situation where he couldn’t help.
Ring. Ring.
Yoo-hyun picked up his phone and got up from his seat.
“Wait. I have an important call.”
“Oppa!”
Ignoring the scream from behind, Yoo-hyun answered the phone.
Jeong Da-hye’s voice ca from the other side of the receiver.
-Yoo-hyun, I just called to see how you’re doing.
It was the peak of the morning work ti in Texas.
It was not like her to just call.
Yoo-hyun pretended not to know and talked with Jeong Da-hye.
“I see. I was about to call you too.”
-Why?
“Just, wondering how you’re doing.”
It was strange.
He laughed at the silly words they exchanged.
“No way! Why would I like soone younger than ?”
“Why are you acting so weird then?”
He didn’t care about the noise coming from the floor.
He just listened to her voice.
“I sent my mother’s side dishes today…”
-I’m finishing up the final project…
They exchanged stories, and there was a brief silence.
Just then, the countdown started on TV.
-10, 9, 8, 7…
“Oppa, ring the bell! You have to do it with your family. That’s why you dragged here!”
Yoo-hyun covered the speaker with his hand and listened.
Ding!
As soon as the bell rang, Yoo-hyun opened his mouth.
“Happy New Year…”
-In the new year…
As if she had been waiting, Jeong Da-hye also spoke.
He confird that they had the sa feelings and smiled.
“Da-hye, let’s see each other more often in the new year.”
-Sure. Not in the US, but in Korea.
Her words made his heart flutter.
Nothing would change just because the year changed, but Hansung Display was an exception.
Oh Ju-hwan, the executive in charge of managent innovation, received instructions from Vice President Shin Kyung-wook through President Lim Jun-pyo and moved quickly.
It was to implent the things he had prepared internally.
For this, a managent eting was held first, and then it was communicated to the executives.
There were so many changes that they decided to implent them in stages.
Among them, there was sothing that was experinted first.
It was the recruitnt of future technology TF mbers.
-Of course, we need to expand the future technology TF. Whatever you need, I’ll help you.
Hong Il-seop, the executive of the strategic product group, had been hoping for more staff, so he had no problem agreeing.
He also agreed that the leader could change, and that it could be Kim Young-gil.
He just didn’t know yet that Yoo-hyun was leaving.
The recruitnt was open to all employees, but the HR team selected the relevant positions.
It included not only planning, but also developnt, process, and quality.
Soon, the recruitnt email was sent to the candidates.
It was a secret content, and they were asked not to ntion it to each other.
Additionally, the comnt of the managent support staff was attached at the end of the email.
-The recruitnt process will be conducted secretly, and the team transfer will be done automatically after the selection. We inform you that there will be no personnel disadvantage in this regard.
The fact that the team transfer was done automatically was unprecedented.
It was understandable, since the organizational change was not only a matter of the team, but also of the position, group, and even the business unit.
There were complex interests involved, and even if they agreed, they often failed at the end.
This was why many people didn’t dare to do it.
But the new system swept away all these processes.
The reason why this was possible?
It was because there was approval from the managent support staff, as well as President Lim Jun-pyo and the Innovation Strategy Office.
They had no choice but to follow what was forced from above.
Regarding this, Deputy Seo Chang-woo added an explanation to Yoo-hyun.
-As I told you before, we will provide compensation for the teams or positions that lose staff.
“What about the projects I was working on?”
At Yoo-hyun’s question, Deputy Seo Chang-woo recited the agreed matter.
-You have to sort that out with the relevant departnts. We’re willing to support you that far.
“That’s a lot of work.”
-This is just the beginning. Especially the promotion part, there will be a lot of backlash when it’s implented. The team leaders will be furious.
“Why do you sound so excited?”
-It’s the first ti we’re trying this. I’m curious about the people’s reactions. It’s the most thrilling thing since I joined the company.
Maybe it was because he was ready to reveal his worries to the world?
Deputy Seo Chang-woo was quite excited about this variation.
Of course, Yoo-hyun was also curious about the outco of the new attempt.
The recruitnt, which was conducted secretly, caused a great response among the employees.
Especially, the image of the future technology TF leading the new technology boosted the expectations.
People who were tired of their existing work, people who were interested in semiconductor display, people who wanted to experience planning work, all sent emails.
Of course, there was also the rit of Kim Young-gil, who wrote the announcent in detail.
But Kim Young-gil showed his displeasure to Yoo-hyun.
“I didn’t expect so much interest.”
“It’s a good opportunity to work in Yeouido.”
“It’s not just from the developnt team. There were quite a few applications from the planning teams of other business units.”
“Really? Are there any good people?”
At Yoo-hyun’s question, Kim Young-gil recited the contents he had seen.
He seed to have already finished the preliminary screening.
“There are. They all made proposals with sincerity. So of them even had a well-organized plan for the future.”
“That wasn’t part of the application requirents.”
“Of course, I’m not going to reflect that in the final decision. But it’s impressive, isn’t it?”
“I’m curious.”
“You know him.”
“Who is it?”
“Kim Ho-sung, the guy who used to be in the next part.”
As soon as he heard the na, Yoo-hyun’s mouth opened.
“Oh.”
“Why? Don’t you rember?”
“No. I can’t believe it.”
How could he not rember?
He didn’t tell Kim Young-gil, but Yoo-hyun had secretly hoped that Kim Ho-sung would co.
He knew that he was soone who could do better than anyone else if given the opportunity.
Kim Young-gil, who had no idea of Yoo-hyun’s inner thoughts, gave his personal judgnt.
“His idea was good, and the other plans he gave as samples were good too.”
“That’s good.”
“Yeah. I have to be nervous too, or I’ll be a huge nuisance.”
“A nuisance? You shouldn’t be so low on confidence as the leader.”
At Yoo-hyun’s words, Kim Young-gil’s face darkened.
“Leader. I’m worried about that too.”
“Why?”
“It’s ti to open it. I don’t know how to bring it up.”
He had hinted to Choi Min-hee, the team leader, but not to Kim Hyun-min, the senior manager.
He also had to report properly to Hong Il-seop, the executive, and Lim Jun-pyo, the president.
“I was going to sort that out for you.”
Yoo-hyun said that.
Ring. Ring.
Kim Young-gil and Yoo-hyun’s phones rang at a short interval.
The first one to check the ssage was Kim Young-gil, who looked embarrassed.
“Oh, the manager already knows. He’s telling to co with you right away.”
It was Kim Hyun-min, the senior manager.
He called Yoo-hyun too, so he must have known the background sohow.
He had to explain, but Yoo-hyun couldn’t nod.
“I can’t go right now. Soone higher up called .”
Yoo-hyun’s phone had Lim Jun-pyo, the president’s na on it.
Yoo-hyun had a one-on-one with Lim Jun-pyo six months ago.
At that ti, Yoo-hyun, who had decided to move to Hansung Display, told him his plans for the future.
That was the beginning of the semiconductor display.
And now.
Yoo-hyun went to the president’s office to tell him the opposite.
The mories of being with him flashed through his mind.
From attracting the Apple factory to when he was the LCD business manager, they had a lot of connections.
Then he rembered what Oh Ju-hwan, the executive in charge of managent innovation, said at a drinking party a while ago.
-The president wants to nurture you. He wants to give you managent lessons early.
Yoo-hyun knew that Lim Jun-pyo thought of him as special.
Even if Yoo-hyun was capable, giving him the TF director position and supporting him from behind was not an easy thing for the person in charge of the organization.
So Yoo-hyun felt sorry.
He must be disappointed, right?
Considering his fiery personality, there was a possibility that he was very angry.
He could take a step back here, but there was no reason to go back.
Rather, it was better to clear things up from the top, for the future as well.
Yoo-hyun prepared for a collision and entered the president’s office.
Creak.
“Co on in.”
As soon as he opened the door, Lim Jun-pyo greeted him with a smile.
