Jung Hyun-woo, the deputy, added a remark to Yoo-hyun, who was incredulous.
“It’s true. The team leader is so sensitive these days. He gets emotional easily.”
“Has he changed?”
“It’s not just the team leader. The new section chief has also changed a lot.”
“Shin Nak-kyun, the section chief?”
“Yes. He drinks a lot these days. When he gets drunk, he sotis curses at you.”
Yoo-hyun laughed at the absurd answer.
“Why is he like that?”
“He’s stressed out, I guess. And every ti he gets stuck, he solves the problem by following your instructions, so his pride is hurt even more.”
“He’s a strange guy.”
Yoo-hyun shook his head and recalled Shin Nak-kyun’s face.
-Do you think I’m so incompetent that you have to teach everything like a child? I can do it by myself. Even if you leave, at least check what I’m doing before you go.
He seed to have drunk a lot when he sent the ssage.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reacted emotionally to soone else’s business.
‘I should have a drink with him later.’
Yoo-hyun smiled and tilted his glass.
The conversation piled up as the bottle emptied.
“Once we launch, we can’t go back, so we’re doing a full check several tis…”
“Section chief An Jae-kyung is holding the center, but there are so many incidents and accidents…”
The internal situation of the company they heard from the two was more fierce than they had expected.
They had countless difficulties, so they had to spit out words without a break.
On the other hand, that made him more relieved.
It ant that they had gone through the hard process and reached this point.
Was it because of that?
Their eyes sparkled as they vented their dissatisfaction.
They said they were exhausted and dying, but their tone was full of anticipation.
Yoo-hyun felt like he knew what that felt like.
The ecstasy of releasing their product to the world was moving them.
They wouldn’t be shaken by any storm at this rate.
“It’s nice to see.”
As Yoo-hyun said that, Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, was dumbfounded.
“It’s really hard. Jun-sik, who follows you so much, can’t even co here.”
“I know, Jun-sik is having a hard ti at the Wonju factory. I know what he’s doing.”
“Don’t tell he’s still reporting to you every day.”
“Yeah. He keeps sending even if I tell him not to.”
Yoo-hyun’s phone had a ssage from deputy Jang Jun-sik today.
He reported to Yoo-hyun as if he was whipping himself.
At first, Yoo-hyun refused, but at so point, he started to help him.
Later, he even encouraged him.
-Jun-sik, since you’re doing it, try a little harder. It must be hard now, but if you overco this ti well, you’ll be more grown than anyone else.
As Yoo-hyun recalled the ssage he sent a while ago, Kwon Se-jung stuck out his tongue.
“He’s amazing. How can he not rest for half a year?”
“It’s Jun-sik.”
“True.”
Yoo-hyun’s word settled everything.
The company talk continued after that.
It used to be a normal daily life, but it felt strangely new.
He listened while recalling his old mories, and he heard a word that caught his ear.
Yoo-hyun asked Kwon Se-jung right away.
“Overturn, what?”
“You know our killer application, Hansung Note. They’re going to reorganize all the related applications from there.”
“Really? Why?”
Yoo-hyun perked up his ears, as he had heard a bit from Han Jae-hee.
“They made a collaboration with a new software company in the infrastructure strategy departnt.”
“Did they acquire them?”
“No, they just made an exclusive contract. They decided to make a new one by mixing the application made by the company and ours.”
“So it’s a joint venture.”
“Yeah. That’s why the design and software staff are totally crazy.”
“But software is important, right? It was also Hansung’s weak link.”
“That’s true, but they moved too late.”
To make loyal custors on smartphones, a killer application is essential.
Hansung couldn’t do it alone, so they needed external help.
Yoo-hyun requested this to vice president Shin Nyeong-wook, and it was finally realized through the infrastructure strategy departnt.
It ant that a lot of reviews were done in the middle.
Yoo-hyun pointed out that part.
“It must have been hard to find a software company that could create synergy. And it’s hard to operate according to the conditions even if you find one.”
“I know. I’m just saying it’s a pity.”
“By the way, the infrastructure strategy departnt is paying a lot of attention. I thought they were busy.”
“They are busy. They’re very busy because of the Shinwa Semiconductor acquisition.”
Yoo-hyun nodded at the answer of deputy Jung Hyun-woo.
“Yeah. There was a lot of news.”
“The news is just a part of it. Do you know what kind of war they’re fighting there?”
This ti, Kwon Se-jung raised his hand.
“What’s going on?”
“Don’t even ask. When they dropped the acquisition price of Shinwa Semiconductor this ti, how did the planning and coordination office co out…”
Kwon Se-jung’s mouth spilled the hard work of the infrastructure strategy departnt.
It was not an exaggeration that section chief Park Seung-woo sotis called and whined.
They were fiercely confronting the opponent’s political fight to achieve their goal.
But the opponent was Shin Nyeong-su, so it looked very hard.
If it was before?
It would have been almost impossible to beat him who didn’t care about the ans and thods.
But, now the situation was very different.
There was soone watching the fierce competition of the two brothers.
Yoo-hyun recalled the news he saw a while ago and summarized Kwon Se-jung’s words.
“It’s a good thing that the chairman is there.”
“That’s right. If the chairman didn’t judge, it would have been a bloodbath.”
“Not really.”
Yoo-hyun shook his head, and deputy Jung Hyun-woo also added.
“Hyung, I don’t think so either.”
“It’s just a figure of speech, okay?”
Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, drank awkwardly.
That day, Yoo-hyun had a long talk with his old colleagues until late at night.
When Yoo-hyun returned ho, it was past midnight.
After a short rest, Yoo-hyun sent a ssage to Jeong Da-hye, who would have entered the afternoon by now.
-I t my company colleagues for the first ti in a long ti and talked about the company all day.
-Da-hye: It must have been nostalgic. I also t an old colleague today, and it was like that.
When the phone rang, Yoo-hyun replied as if he had been waiting.
-Zzizzibong.
-Da-hye: What is that?
-It ans we’re in sync. By the way, when are you coming?
-Da-hye: I’ll be there soon.
-Then I’ll prepare the foundation diligently. (bow)
-Da-hye: I’m looking forward to it. See you soon. (heart)
A character emoticon with sparkling eyes and a heart arrived with the ssage.
Yoo-hyun smiled as he received Jeong Da-hye’s heart.
The next day, Yoo-hyun stopped by Double Y for the first ti in a long ti.
He knew the internal situation well through the ssenger With, but it was a long ti since he t the people.
Especially, it was the first eting with the staff who were hired after Yoo-hyun left for the US.
What would they look like?
-Don’t even ask. You’ll faint when you see them. They’re all crazy.
Yoo-hyun recalled Park Young-hoon’s bluff and entered the second floor office.
Squeak.
As soon as he opened the door, a man ran past him with a loud laugh.
“Hahaha! I did it! I did it!”
He recognized the face of the man in a checkered shirt, horn-rimd glasses, and ssy hair.
‘He looks like the guy who ca for an interview with a red tie before.’
As Yoo-hyun was trying to rember, he heard a clanging female voice.
“Silent, is it really? Did the test pass?”
“Silver Star, it’s true. It passed without a single error.”
‘Silent? What is Silver Star?’
Behind the bewildered Yoo-hyun, the people sitting in the office showed a strong reaction.
“Wow! Aweso!”
Clap clap clap clap clap!
There were even people who got up and clapped.
What was it?
Yoo-hyun was curious and a familiar face ca up and greeted him.
“Oh? Director, hello!”
“Bo-mi, long ti no see.”
“How long has it been? I’m so glad to see you.”
Yun Bo-mi, who was in charge of accounting, hugged Yoo-hyun warmly.
Yoo-hyun smiled and pointed to the office.
“But what’s going on right now? It seems like you did sothing amazing.”
“It’s nothing. We just tested the app, that’s all.”
“Really? It doesn’t look like that.”
“We do that several tis a day. Everyone is infected by Silent’s excitent.”
“What do you an…”
Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes.
A man with a lion’s head ca up to Yun Bo-mi.
“Spring, we’re going to have a eting now. Are you coming?”
“Yes, Waiting. Just wait a minute.”
“Okay. I’ll set it up for you.”
The man nodded at Yoo-hyun and quickly passed by.
He also looked familiar.
Yoo-hyun asked the first thing he was curious about.
“Bo-mi, who is Spring?”
“Well, we decided to call each other by nicknas.”
“Nicknas?”
“Yes. We call each other like ga IDs.”
“Why are you Spring?”
“Because my na is Bom.”
Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes at the clear answer.
“Oh… Then who is Waiting?”
“His na is Choi Dae-gi.”
“Then who is the one who went into the conference room, Silent?”
“Jo Yong-hee. The na of the Silver Star next to him is Go Eun-byul.”
“…”
Yoo-hyun lost his words for a mont and blinked his eyes.
Then, a bald man in a gray hanbok passed by.
He also rembered seeing him at the interview last ti.
“Then who is he?”
“He’s just Mr. S. His na is Kim Hyun-song, but everyone says it’s easier that way.”
“Wow… That’s interesting.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled as he saw Yun Bo-mi shrug her shoulders.
“But he’s a good director.”
“He used to be Mr. Too, but since he has a lot of external activities, we just call him director.”
“Why Too?”
“Just because the first two letters of his na are Na-do. We call Na-do kimbap Too kimbap too.”
“I see…”
Yoo-hyun shook his head as he was about to say sothing.
Squeak.
The door opened and a familiar face appeared.
“Yoo-hyun-hyung!”
“Do-ha!”
Wham.
As Na Do-ha ran over, Yoo-hyun opened his arms and hugged him.
Yoo-hyun asked how he was doing and looked at Na Do-ha.
He used to dress casually, but now he was dressed quite neatly.
His hairstyle was also cleaner than before, and he had a docunt bag.
Park Young-hoon, who followed him, was the sa.
He looked like he had beco a company employee, wearing a semi-suit.
Yoo-hyun greeted him lightly and asked.
“Where did you go?”
“Yes. We t the people from the company we’re working with.”
“Mirinae Securities?”
“No. Sowhere else, but it’s a secret from you.”
“What is it?”
“You’ll find out soon. I’m going to attend the eting now.”
Na Do-ha smiled and left after saying goodbye.
Yun Bo-mi followed him right away.
Yoo-hyun looked at them incredulously.
“I don’t know what’s going on here.”
It was the first ti Yoo-hyun, who had been working for 25 years, said that.
