After the eting, Lee Ji-hyun t with Ahn Seo-hee separately.
Yoo-hyun, who went up to the rooftop, heard the story behind it from Jeong Da-hye.
Leaning on the railing, Yoo-hyun asked.
“So Ji-hyun spilled coffee on her, right?”
“Yes. Seo-hee pushed her past mories on her and threatened her. She said she would reveal everything. She even said it was caught on CCTV.”
“So that’s why Seo-hee’s face was pale.”
“She would have a hard ti working here if she got caught doing that. And Kim Mi-kyung, the team leader, doesn’t look like soone who would let it go.”
“She’s cornered, so she’s more desperate. If she can’t fix this, the team leader will have to resign too.”
Kim Mi-kyung was the head of the online shopping mall of Yurim Fashion.
She had to take responsibility for solving the problem, so she had no choice but to whip the staff until the online sales were normalized.
Did Lee Ji-hyun know this and keep Ahn Seo-hee as the person in charge?
‘Maybe.’
Yoo-hyun chuckled and looked down at Gwanghwamun Square.
The weather was chilly, but it was crowded with people.
Jeong Da-hye, who was looking at the sa place, said softly.
“Ji-hyun said that.”
“What did she say?”
“She said it was all her inner problem. She realized that she had wasted precious ti by being tied to sothing worthless.”
“Really… It wasn’t Ji-hyun’s fault.”
Lee Ji-hyun shook off her past wounds.
She decided to enjoy the happiness of the present instead of staying in the past.
He knew it was a wise choice, but Yoo-hyun felt bitter.
‘If only that hadn’t happened…’
Jeong Da-hye also said regretfully.
“If there was soone who understood Ji-hyun’s pain back then, she wouldn’t have suffered so much.”
“She has colleagues who understand her now. They must have been a lot of help to her. She’s beco stronger.”
“That’s right. Ji-hyun has beco stronger. She overca it with her own strength.”
Jeong Da-hye nodded and looked at Yoo-hyun.
She said to the man who always supported her.
“I thought a lot while watching her.”
“What did you think?”
“Ji-hyun had the courage to do that, but I was afraid and avoided it. That’s what I thought.”
“You didn’t avoid it. You’re trying.”
From so point on, Jeong Da-hye greeted Jung Min-kyo first when they t.
Sotis she asked how he was and tried to get closer to him.
But she still shook her head.
“No. I’m still stuck in the sa place. I was afraid to look at the wound that was frozen and pretended not to know. Precious ti keeps passing by.”
“…”
Squeeze.
She held Yoo-hyun’s hand and looked into his eyes and made a vow.
“I’m not going to hide anymore. I’m going to face it head-on. Like Ji-hyun did.”
“I’ll be by your side no matter what choice you make.”
“That’s reassuring.”
Jeong Da-hye’s smile looked much lighter.
Lee Ji-hyun’s incident seed to be a good opportunity for Jeong Da-hye.
That evening.
Yoo-hyun received a ssage from Jung Min-kyo on his phone.
-I had dinner with Da-hye today. We got along well. It’s all thanks to you. I really appreciate it.
Yoo-hyun muttered as he checked the content.
“What did I do?”
It was Jeong Da-hye’s heart that tried to take a step forward by overcoming her inner pain.
It was also Jung Min-kyo’s effort to show a proud face to his daughter.
This way, the two people went back and forth for a long ti and stood at the starting point again.
What will happen to their relationship in the future?
He hoped they would fill up the precious ti they had lost.
A faint smile appeared on Yoo-hyun’s lips.
A week passed since then.
With the banner of Reverb hanging on the Yurim Fashion shopping mall, Reverb signed contracts with most of the dostic fashion companies.
Fashion reviews were fully established, and the existing IT reviews added a simple video review feature and grew rapidly.
New categories such as travel and ho reviews also had a system.
News announcing the start of Reverb ca out.
-Reverb upgraded its revenue distribution system to match the official version release. To distribute more revenue to the review writers, not only the advertising revenue, but also the rewards through the purchase link… ⱤаƝǒBĚṦ
The content, which could be sowhat complicated, was neatly organized in an infographic format.
Yoo-hyun chuckled as he checked the article on the monitor in the representative’s office.
“The editor-in-chief really cared.”
It was the work of Oh Eun-bi, the editor-in-chief of Our Daily.
She cared for him during the public opinion war with Yurim Fashion, and this ti she voluntarily promoted him.
Even though Reverb articles had high click rates, it was a fact that she cared.
Yoo-hyun thought of returning the favor as he opened the comnt window.
Click.
Comnts with a lot of sympathy were spread out.
-Aweso. I wondered what the official version was, and they said they would pay more if you write a review.
-Is it because of the money? The reviews here are all good quality. They are also real-use reviews.
-Blogs are always full of advertising reviews, but here they are well managed. The operator’s feedback is also fast.
-I bought earphones right after seeing the reviews here. I also bought a jacket after seeing the reviews. Now that I think about it, I also did the floor work after seeing the reviews here.
-When I play on Reverb, I keep buying things. Why are there so many good things in the world?
Reverb was one of the top 10 internet services in Korea, but it had a strong mania tendency.
There were still many people who did not understand the Reverb system or who had a prejudice that reviews would beco advertising reviews if they made money from them.
There were also many criticisms and anti-fans because of this.
The reason why positive comnts had high sympathy was explained by one comnt.
-But how does Reverb make money if they give it all away?
Reverb was an internet service that earned revenue from the ads on its web and app.
But unlike other services, it returned most of the revenue generated from ad exposure or clicks to the review writers.
There was a fair and transparent revenue distribution system behind this.
As they wrote trustworthy reviews and received fair rewards, Reverb users’ loyalty was very strong.
They even worried about the company’s financial situation, as the comnt said.
Snicker.
Yoo-hyun smiled softly and muttered.
“It’s not about the money right now.”
Yoo-hyun had a bigger vision.
What if he could collect all the reviews in the world as he had planned?
Reeber would beco a global platform that was the hub of everything.
Click.
He closed the comnt window and opened the Reeber mber introduction page.
It seed like yesterday when he could see the whole list on one page, but now he couldn’t see the end no matter how much he scrolled.
That ant many people were with Reeber.
Reeber existed because of them.
Swoosh.
As he scrolled down the mber list, he stopped his mouse.
His friend Kang Jun-ki’s ID blinked under the cursor.
‘Co to think of it, this guy hasn’t been in touch lately.’
He was a friend who used to post IT reviews diligently as if it was his own job and pointed out various problems, but he hadn’t heard from him for a while.
What was going on?
Yoo-hyun sent him a ssage just in case and got up from his seat.
As he was about to go out, his phone vibrated.
Beep.
-You know the first quarter board eting is after the Lunar New Year holiday, right? Let’s see your face then.
He thought he got a reply, but the sender was Chairman Shin Kyung-wook.
“You seem to expect too much.”
Rattle.
He didn’t have anything special to do there.
Yoo-hyun lowered his head and opened the door.
Creak.
As soon as he stepped out of the office, he heard a loud voice.
“President, thank you!”
What?
The new employees who ran towards him clapped their hands in unison.
Clap clap clap clap clap clap.
Yoo-hyun looked at Jang Manbok, who was leading the applause at the end, with disbelief.
“Jang team leader, what are you doing?”
“Didn’t you buy a Hanwoo set for the Lunar New Year? We have to thank you.”
Yoo-hyun looked at Yoon Bomi, who was next to him, with a puzzled expression.
“Yoon team leader, are you here already?”
“No. I heard you ordered a two-horned Hanwoo and I’m overreacting. You know, Jang team leader’s appetite.”
Yoon Bomi whispered as she approached, and Jang Manbok coughed.
“Ahem! Yoon team leader, I can hear you.”
“Hahaha!”
The new employees, who had adapted by now, laughed cheerfully.
The new employees who started coming in a month ago had reached 20.
They were directly recruited and organized by the five initial mbers.
Managent team leader Yoon Bomi.
Sales team leader Gong Hyunjun.
Planning team leader Jang Manbok.
Operation team leader Won Gijun.
Public relations team leader Lee Jiyeon.
They were the cornerstone of Reeber’s growth and now stood as leaders.
They had accomplished this in just four months since they joined.
Swish.
Yoo-hyun turned his head and looked at the faces of the initial mbers who had unleashed their potential.
Won Gijun, who was in charge of the overall operation of each review category, smiled brightly.
“President, since it’s co to this, why don’t you say sothing?”
“What do you an?”
“We’ve launched the official version, so how about a dinner party?”
Gong Hyunjun chid in with a good-natured tone.
-Our company keeps appearing in the news, so even the relatives who used to say sothing about joining a small company admit it. I don’t know why I was tied up by such things.
He, who always compared himself to others, unleashed his potential along with Reeber’s growth.
Based on his know-how of writing reviews and his experience in the Hansung sales team, he successfully blocked the backdoor advertising that could seriously damage the credibility of the reviews.
This seemingly trivial achievent made Reeber’s roots stronger.
Smirk.
As he t his eyes, Yoo-hyun was about to open his mouth.
Public relations team leader Lee Jiyeon spoke first.
“We still have so bonus left from the contract with Yurim Fashion. We’ll pay for the dinner.”
“That’s a good idea, but don’t we have lunch first?”
Yoo-hyun drew the line at her confident words, and Jang Manbok, who was planning to expand the review categories comprehensively, shouted out loud.
“Lunch! I found an amazing place.”
“Where?”
“It’s a place that opened in the basent recently, and their kimbap is no joke.”
“Co on, what’s kimbap?”
Jang Manbok flared up at Yoon Bomi, who reached out her hand.
“Hey. It’s kimbap with the artisan’s sincerity. I gave this Jang Manbok five stars for the champion kimbap, five stars.”
“Is that Nado Kimbap?”
“Huh? How did you know that? Have you been there?”
“How can I not know? The owner there is my martial arts master.”
“What martial arts?”
Everyone looked puzzled at Yoon Bomi’s smiling answer.
Yoo-hyun went to the basent floor of the Future Tower at lunchti.
Nado Kimbap 2nd branch, which had opened not long ago, was located in the area where the restaurants were gathered.
The inside was spacious enough for all the Reeber employees to enter, and the taste was as good as the famous 1st branch.
