Yoo-hyun walked past the bustling conference room and entered the CEO’s office.
It was evident that many etings had taken place in this room as well, as it was quite ssy.
All kinds of docunts were spread out not only on the desk, but also on the table.
Yoo-hyun sat on the sofa and looked around the scenery. Park Young-hoon offered him a coffee.
“I brewed it myself. It’s not as good as New York, but it’s decent.”
“I’m honored to receive such a treat from the CEO.”
“I have to do this much for a great investor like you.”
“You’re talking nonsense.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled and Park Young-hoon sat across from him.
He felt that Park Young-hoon had grown a lot since he last saw him in New York.
He now had the aura of a respectable CEO.
Park Young-hoon noticed Yoo-hyun’s gaze and smirked.
“What are you looking at?”
“Just curious. How well have you been living?”
“Well? Didn’t you see the office people earlier?”
“Yeah. They seed to be having fun.”
“They sure are… Very fun. Thanks to them, I had a lot of dynamic things to do without a break.”
“How was it? Tell so stories.”
Yoo-hyun didn’t ask because he didn’t know what Double Y had done.
He had personally experienced the mobile stock platform that was about to be launched, and he had thoroughly examined the ssenger With, which was a continuous experintal challenge.
On the other hand, he was curious.
How could they work in such a structure and produce results so quickly?
His curiosity grew after seeing the atmosphere today.
Park Young-hoon sensed the sincerity in Yoo-hyun’s eyes and explained in detail.
“If you ask what happened…”
Park Young-hoon’s mouth spilled out various hardships.
It was not easy to create results with people who had unique personalities.
They clashed over trivial things, and sotis they had big conflicts.
Ironically, through this process, Double Y’s own horizontal and autonomous culture was established.
Yoo-hyun summarized Park Young-hoon’s actions in one sentence.
“So you just let the employees do whatever they wanted.”
“That’s right. I just wanted them to have fun. I never made them work overti.”
“But they were crazy about their work, right?”
“Yeah. Even the people who fought over everything were passionate about their work.”
“They must have co here because they liked this job.”
“Exactly. They tried to make it more perfect even when I told them to stop. The people at Mirinae Securities were annoyed by them.”
They had everything they needed: the work they wanted to do, the environnt they could do it in, and the talented colleagues.
They couldn’t help but succeed.
Double Y was still rough, but it was gradually showing the ideal image of an organization.
If he could just set the direction properly?
Double Y might be able to stand on the world stage faster than he thought.
Yoo-hyun imagined the future of Double Y and opened his mouth.
“They seem to have worked hard, so why don’t you give them so bonus?”
“Don’t worry. That’s the only thing I can do for them, so I’m taking good care of them.”
“Good for you. You’re not short of money, are you?”
“I still have so left. Oh, by the way, there’s sothing I need you to decide.”
“What is it?”
Park Young-hoon said sothing out of the blue in response to Yoo-hyun’s question.
“Did you see the office earlier? There’s not much space left, right?”
“Yeah. It was almost full.”
“Right. So I’m thinking of expanding the office.”
“Expanding? Where to?”
“I’m thinking of using the third floor as well.”
“What about the gym? It’s doing well these days, isn’t it?”
Thanks to Lee Jang-woo’s performance, the gym was crowded every day.
The manager even complained that the gym was too small, as many people signed up.
Park Young-hoon nodded.
“It’s doing too well. So I’m thinking of moving the gym to the next building.”
“The next building? Are you renting it out?”
“No. The whole building is for sale. It’s similar to this one. So I’m going to buy it if you agree.”
There was no need for permission.
The building price was attractive enough, and they needed more space for the future.
Yoo-hyun answered without hesitation.
“I don’t care. Do whatever you want. You’ll need more space to make room for anyway.”
“Oh? Are you joining the company?”
“I’m thinking about it for a while. I think I have sothing to offer.”
“Wow! Aweso. I’m more than happy if you co. Welco, brother.”
Park Young-hoon spread his arms wide and approached him, but Yoo-hyun pushed him away.
“Enough, what did Doha say he was going to do earlier?”
“Oh, that? That’s a secret from you. You’ll find out soon.”
“Why are there so many secrets here?”
Park Young-hoon appeased Yoo-hyun, who was incredulous, and made a random suggestion.
“Just wait. You’ll like it. Oh, and can you do a favor and interview soone soon?”
“What interview?”
“I have soone I want to bring in, but he’s a bit high-level. I need your help.”
“What level?”
“It’s different from before. Anyway, you have to co. Got it?”
“Got it. Just let know the ti.”
Yoo-hyun knew who Park Young-hoon was bringing in, but he agreed.
He wanted to take care of Double Y a little more.
That day, Yoo-hyun received a phone call.
The caller was none other than Paul Graham.
-Facebook has finally acquired Instagram. Did you hear the news?
“Yes, I did. Kevin contacted first.”
-You don’t sound too excited.
“It’s just a lucky result.”
Yoo-hyun bought a stake in Instagram because of the situation around him.
He saw the potential of Instagram, but he was able to make the decision without hesitation because he knew the future.
Maybe that’s why?
Even though his assets had grown significantly, Yoo-hyun was calm.
Paul Graham seed to expect this reaction.
-I knew you would say that. So, what are you going to do now?
“I’m thinking of starting over from scratch.”
-From scratch?
“Yes, I have planted so seeds. I want to see them sprout properly.”
To Yoo-hyun, Double W had trendous potential.
The only problem was that they lacked a clear direction and could not grow as much as they could.
Yoo-hyun planned to watch them more closely and help them unleash their latent power.
To make Double W grow and contribute to creating a better world.
That was Yoo-hyun’s first goal as an investor.
Paul Graham’s voice softened after hearing his answer.
-I see. Then I’ll let you move on.
“Thank you. But before that, I have one thing to take care of.”
-What is it?
“It’s about setting my life straight.”
A aningful smile appeared on Yoo-hyun’s lips.
He had left his company to fix his whole life.
He went to the US to help solve the problem that Jeong Da-hye was involved in, and when he returned to Korea, he supported his father’s dream.
In the process, his relationship with his family and friends beca stronger.
He had lted into the lives of his precious people.
He had achieved what he wanted, but there was one thing that bothered him.
It was the family problem of the person he loved.
It was a necessary thing for their future happiness.
Vroom.
He drove with that thought in mind, and soon arrived at his destination.
The old apartnt building ca into his sight.
-Gangnam Central Village.
It was where his father-in-law worked as a security guard.
The exterior was old, but the apartnt na was modern.
There was a barrier at the entrance, and next to it was a security office.
There was a security guard in front of the office, and visitors had to fill out a visitor’s pass through him.
The parking space was so scarce that the visitor’s verification was thorough.
He looked around, but he couldn’t see his father-in-law.
How was he doing?
Creak.
He parked his car in front of the barrier and pressed the bell, then reminisced about the past.
His eting with his father-in-law was rare.
Even when they t, they only exchanged a few formal words.
He didn’t know what he liked, what he did, or anything about him.
He only rembered that he was very worried about his daughter and that he looked a bit uncomfortable.
‘I think he had a limp…’
He was recalling the scenes that ca to his mind when it happened.
Another security guard, not the one who was standing in front of the office, approached his car.
He walked briskly, and he looked very familiar.
He had long eyes and a calm expression. He looked younger and healthier than he rembered, but he was definitely soone Yoo-hyun knew.
When he saw the na ‘Jeong Minkyo’ written on his chest, Yoo-hyun’s vague mory beca clear.
Along with the vivid scene from the past, a deep voice ca.
“Are you a visitor?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Then you need to fill out this visitor’s pass… Huh?”
He was startled as he took out a file.
His eyes shook and his pupils dilated.
He recognized Yoo-hyun unexpectedly.
As if he sensed that Yoo-hyun ca to hear his inner thoughts, his emotions fluctuated.
He should have seen him for the first ti.
As Yoo-hyun wondered, he quickly hid the file behind him and opened his mouth.
“If you are a visitor without a car registration, you need to fill out a visitor’s pass.”
“Where can I do that?”
“You can do it inside the security office. Park your car over there in the corner and I’ll guide you.”
He usually filled out the visitor’s pass on the spot, but he changed the place to the security office.
He seed to want to have a conversation with him sohow.
It was completely different from what he expected, but it didn’t matter.
It was rather an opportunity to face him more comfortably.
“Okay, thank you.”
He bowed and drove his car behind the security office.
He saw his father-in-law running to his colleague through the side mirror.
He seed to ask for his understanding for the conversation with Yoo-hyun.
“By the way, how did he recognize ?”
Yoo-hyun tilted his head.
Clank.
He entered the security office and faced the answer to his curiosity.
There was a small fra on the table, and it contained a picture of Yoo-hyun, Lee Jang-woo, and Jeong Da-hye side by side.
It was the picture that was published in the newspaper after Lee Jang-woo’s ga.
He had cut it out and kept it in the fra.
‘He must have missed Da-hye a lot.’
It was a aningful eting just by knowing this fact.
The only thing left was Da-hye’s heart.
Thud.
Jeong Minkyo, who followed him, quickly covered the fra.
As Yoo-hyun pretended not to see and looked around, he gave him an awkward smile.
“Is this your first ti filling out a visitor’s pass?”
“Yes, it is.”
“I’m sorry for the inconvenience, but please understand.”
He spoke politely to Yoo-hyun and handed him the file.
Swoosh.
He took the file and smiled.
“Actually, I’m glad I can sit in a comfortable place. I still have plenty of ti until my appointnt.”
“Then you can stay as long as you want. You can also have so coffee if you need it.”
“Thank you very much.”
“Since you ntioned it, I’ll make you a cup.”
He was just matching his pace, but Jeong Minkyo looked very excited.
