He asked jokingly instead.
“Does that include the chairman too?”
“Chairman… ahem! He’s an exception.”
Kim Hyun-min, the executive director, coughed nervously and emptied his glass.
He was better off than the others.
The people from Hansung Electronics under Vice Chairman Hyun Ki-joong couldn’t even bring up this topic.
That was also the case for Jang Joon-sik, the manager who belonged to the group’s direct line.
Was it because he felt frustrated by the pent-up feelings in his chest?
Gulp gulp.
Jang Joon-sik, the manager, silently downed a large glass of liquor in one go.
‘I’m anxious…’
As expected.
Soon, the drunk Jang Joon-sik burst out his hidden thoughts.
“How can he do this? Huh?”
“Sigh. What can we do about it?”
Yoo-hyun snatched the bottle of liquor that he was holding.
Regardless, Jang Joon-sik, who had caught fire, couldn’t stop.
“Vice Chairman Yeo Tae-sik said so. He said to refrain from contacting the ntor when he goes to Japan. Is that even possible? Huh?”
“What’s impossible about that? You’re not here for fun.”
“That’s not what I an. I can’t stand this anymore.”
Whoosh.
Kim Hyun-min, the executive director, held his stomach as he watched Jang Joon-sik, the manager, burn.
“Puhaha! This guy is really sothing. He’s like a rookie again.”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
Yoo-hyun also laughed incredulously.
Was it the first ti they went to the tripe restaurant?
He had vented out his complaints to Yoo-hyun after getting drunk.
-What’s so great about you, deputy? You just hang out every day, chatting with the female employees. Huh?
Looking back, it was funny how Jang Joon-sik, the manager, cleared his misunderstanding with Yoo-hyun through that process.
He realized then that it was sotis necessary to spill out his inner feelings honestly.
He wanted to just listen to him now, but the situation was different and he couldn’t.
“I’ll deal with this matter properly. Okay?”
Yoo-hyun called the na of his junior who was complaining.
“Joon-sik.”
“So, to honor your senior…”
“Jang Joon-sik.”
Yoo-hyun called him again, and he seed to snap out of it.
“Yes, ntor.”
Yoo-hyun asked him seriously.
“Joon-sik, you’re not a regular employee, but a leader who ca here, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then, no matter what your boss says, you can’t waver. If you waver, everyone who looks at you will waver too. Is that what you want?”
His words hit the mark, and Jang Joon-sik, the manager, clenched his fists.
“I’m so angry. I’m ashad of myself for not being able to say anything and just agreeing.”
“Then, succeed in entering Japan as if to show them. And then, thank for my help.”
“Success…”
“Yes. I really want Hansung Electronics to succeed in Japan. Joon-sik, I hope you’re at the center of it.”
Thud.
Yoo-hyun placed his hand on top of his hand that was on the table.
Jang Joon-sik, the manager, sparkled his eyes as he felt his sincerity.
“Then, I’ll do my best. I’ll do my best to be a worthy ntee.”
“Kid. You never change, do you?”
Yoo-hyun smiled faintly as he faced his junior’s sincere eyes.
A while later.
Jang Joon-sik, the manager, who ca out of the bar, staggered and spat out a slurred sound.
“I’ll do it for sure. This Jang Joon-sik. I, the ntee of the respected ntor, will work really hard. Poo.”
“Yeah. Yeah. I got it, so sit down.”
Yoo-hyun pulled out his supporting arm and sat him on the bench.
He felt sorry for his junior who couldn’t even hold his head up.
Tap tap.
“Why did you drink so much?”
He tapped his shoulder as he sat next to him, and Kim Hyun-min, the executive director, clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk. Who provoked him when he already has a lot of pressure on his shoulders?”
“I didn’t know he would drink more there.”
“Whatever. Just take this.”
Kim Hyun-min, the executive director, handed him a dark glass bottle with the words ‘strong hangover relief’ written on it.
He fiddled with the rough surface and asked.
“When did you buy this?”
“I just picked it up on the way.”
“You picked up a good thing. Thank you.”
Clack.
Yoo-hyun smiled and gulped down the drink.
He felt his mind clear up with the bitter swallow.
Kim Hyun-min, the executive director, who sat next to him and drank the sa drink, asked.
“Are you okay?”
“It works well. I feel like I didn’t drink at all.”
“Not that.”
“Then what?”
“Sigh. Never mind. But you said you wanted to quit and rest, but why are you working so hard in Japan?”
Yoo-hyun answered naturally as he looked at Kim Hyun-min, the executive director, who sighed.
“You told to work hard.”
“When did I?”
“Don’t you rember telling to take responsibility for my retirent?”
“Damn. I said a lot of things.”
Yoo-hyun shrugged his shoulders as he reminded him of what he said at Kim Young-gil, the team leader’s wedding.
“Well, it’s not just because of that. It’s fun in its own way.”
“You’re a funny guy. What’s fun about work?”
“Um… how should I put it? I feel like I can really change the world if I work a little harder.”
He had fun working at Hansung too, but it wasn’t that satisfying since he had already walked that path.
But at Reverb, every process was a new challenge, and the reward he got from solving it was different.
He saw the change unfold right before his eyes, and he wanted to do more.
That led him to this point.
Kim Hyun-min, the executive director, who snorted at Yoo-hyun’s passionate answer, lifted his head.
He gazed at the night sky and muttered to himself.
“My son said he saw you in the newspaper and thought you were cool. He said he has a goal now?”
“Really?”
“Of course. You’re amazing, Han Yoo-hyun. I’m proud that you were under . And a lot.”
“You must be drunk.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled and sipped his drink.
Kim Hyun-min, the executive director, called him in a lowered voice.
“But, Yoo-hyun.”
“Yes, director.”
“I know you’re doing a great job, but don’t leave Je-su alone.”
“Hey, it’s just for a while.”
Yoo-hyun waved his hand, and Kim Hyun-min hit the mark.
“Is it? You haven’t seen her face for months because of work.”
“Well…”
“Ti that has passed never cos back. Don’t regret it and cherish your ti with the one you love.”
Yoo-hyun paused at his serious voice.
His calm eyes overlapped with the old mont when he confessed his love.
-I was crazy. I couldn’t even keep my wife’s last wish and worked all night. It was an irreversible ti…
A word that contained his life touched Yoo-hyun’s heart.
He had no more excuses.
“Okay. I’ll do that. I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Not just keep in mind.”
As Yoo-hyun was about to answer, Jang Joon-sik, the manager who was leaning on his shoulder, dropped his head.
Thud.
“Hmm, hmm.”
Kim Hyun-min, the executive director, who got up from his seat, lifted Jang Joon-sik, the manager.
“He’ll sleep on the floor if we stay longer. Let’s go.”
“I’ll help you.”
“It’s right in front of the hotel. You go ahead.”
Without giving Yoo-hyun a chance to intervene, Kim Hyun-min, the executive director, supported Jang Joon-sik, the manager, and walked.
Shuffle shuffle.
His back looked very broad today.
The next morning.
Son Jeong-eui, who heard about Yoo-hyun’s move, rubbed his thick eyebrows and muttered.
“NHK out of the blue…”
“It’s a temporary thing, it has nothing to do with Reverb’s expansion. I don’t think you need to worry too much.”
Son Jeong-eui waved his hand at the secretary’s answer.
“No, that’s not the dinsion of the problem.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Yes. The fact that he moved the Morumoru editors.”
It wasn’t just for this comparison demonstration.
When the Morumoru editors posted articles on Reverb, the wind of change began to blow with their reputation.
It was still a small breeze in a teacup, but if there was a chance?
It could beco a typhoon that would overturn the existing dia system.
‘He used the Morumoru acquisition like this.’
He had to admit it.
Son Jeong-eui nodded his head and flashed his eyes.
“Contact Steve Han. I’ll go see him myself.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The secretary imdiately picked up his phone.
Yoo-hyun, who received the awaited call, prepared to greet his guest.
He didn’t need to prepare a special place or decorate it.
He needed a room that would move his heart.
Without any more hesitation, Yoo-hyun called Na Do-ha.
-Yes, bro.
“Do-ha. I think it’s ti to show what we prepared.”
-You got in touch. I’ll set it up right away.
They were in sync as they had been waiting for this mont.
It was ti to end it.
It took him a day to finish his preparations.
Yoo-hyun t Son Jeong-eui at Reverb’s Japan branch the next day.
He recalled his old mories as he looked at him with his bald head, thick eyebrows, and kind impression.
When was it?
It was when he desperately clung to Hansung’s entry into Japan.
Yoo-hyun wanted to form a partnership, not an investnt, but Son Jeong-eui refused firmly.
The result of months of effort ended so vainly.
Yoo-hyun, who couldn’t hold Son Jeong-eui’s hand, failed to overco the wall of the Japanese market despite spending a lot of money and resources.
He never thought that his bitter defeat would turn into an opportunity like this.
‘Life is unpredictable.’
Yoo-hyun smiled and Son Jeong-eui put down his teacup and asked.
“You look happy.”
“I was just thinking about the past.”
“The past?”
Son Jeong-eui tilted his head in confusion, and Yoo-hyun dodged it with a relaxed expression.
“It was in ’98. You ca to Korea and helped us a lot.”
“When I went with Bill?”
“Yes. Thanks to you, Korea beca the country with the fastest internet.”
It was in 1998, when the IMF’s wound was still deep.
Son Jeong-eui, who accompanied Bill Gates to Korea, emphasized the importance of the internet network three tis in front of the president and presented his vision.
Thanks to that, the internet network was installed throughout Korea, and anyone could easily access the internet.
Yoo-hyun thanked him for making IT Korea possible.
“I wanted to thank you in person. My business also benefited greatly from your insight.”
“You should have contacted sooner. We would have had a lot to talk about.”
“I wanted to, but you’re a hard person to reach.”
“…”
Son Jeong-eui’s thick eyebrows twitched at Yoo-hyun’s casual response.
He made the hard person co to him?
He suppressed his anger for a mont, and he looked at Yoo-hyun with a calm mind.
He pretended to smile, but he knew that he was full of cunning.
It was a deliberate act to attract his attention through Tanaka and Paul Graham, and to induce his complacency by showing him the Morumoru acquisition process.
From the beginning, the young businessman deliberately leaked information and skillfully played his cards.
He could see his intention clearly, but he had to admit it now.
The opponent was not a young kid.
He was more than a veteran who could use information and create a reversal.
Then?
Son Jeong-eui stopped testing him and sat up straight.
