Real Man

Chapter 539:

It was easy to guess what kind of conspiracy they had done, gathering the powerful people together.

Yoo-hyun, who was not part of this power cartel, asked Senior Hyun Geun-young, who was wandering around.

“You can’t just hold on to LCD all the time, can you?”

“It makes money, so I have to.”

“So you sold all the other technologies, senior.”

“Someone has to prepare for the worst-case scenario.”

It was not something that a person who had never been recognized for his performance because he could not get the main project should say.

But Yoo-hyun did not look down on his actions.

What Hansung Display needed now was not someone who was blinded by the first place, but someone who could prepare for the unexpected.

-Senior Hyun is a lone wolf style. He couldn’t become a team leader because of his lack of political skills, but he has a strong sense of responsibility and his internal evaluation from his team members is not bad. He has experience in both the business unit and the CTO…

He also considered his knowledge, which he heard from their phone calls, and his proactiveness, which he showed by coming to him personally, and came to a conclusion.

“Senior Hyun, I have something to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“What if the company decides to do semiconductor display at the launch ceremony? What will you do?”

“That won’t happen.”

Yoo-hyun was not shaken by his firm denial.

“I mean, hypothetically. What if the company says they will commercialize semiconductor display?”

“Are you asking me to join your team?”

Hyun Geun-young raised his eyebrows, and Yoo-hyun waved his hand.

“Of course not. I’m not that kind of person. But there will be at least one person in charge, right?”

“In charge?”

“Yes. Under the president’s supervision, they will gather people from the CTO, the business unit, and the process. There will be someone in charge, right?”

“That makes sense.”

Hyun Geun-young, who had experience in semiconductor display, understood Yoo-hyun’s words right away.

Since it was a completely new category of work, they needed people from various organizations.

Yoo-hyun went one step further.

“If they want to speed up the work, they need to gather the relevant people in advance. It won’t work if someone irrelevant comes in.”

“So?”

“They need someone who can make the organization in advance. I can’t do that as an engineer.”

“Are you telling me to do that now?”

Hyun Geun-young looked incredulous.

But that was only for a moment.

“If you do well, you might be able to make the organization you want, senior.”

Yoo-hyun’s words, which stimulated his hidden ambition, shook Hyun Geun-young’s eyes.

“…”

“It will be less chaotic if you prepare in advance. Of course, this is only assuming a hypothetical situation.”

Yoo-hyun’s words, which lowered the pressure, continued, and Hyun Geun-young’s mouth curled up.

“It’s not bad to prepare for the worst.”

“Yes. Just in case.”

Yoo-hyun also smiled as they reached an agreement.

The rest was quick.

Hyun Geun-young became more immersed and even told him his aspiration at some point.

“If you want to do something new, you need a proper organization. If you mix it up poorly, you might end up like OLED.”

“Right.”

“I don’t have much time, so I’ll move quickly. Oh, can I tell you what equipment I need in advance?”

He even brought up the equipment issue, which Yoo-hyun did not mention.

He said he would take care of the organization and equipment investment himself, which was very grateful for Yoo-hyun.

He expressed his gratitude in words.

“Yes. I would really appreciate it if you could do that.”

“I got it. I’ll talk to Kim Hak-il team leader about that part.”

“Thank you very much.”

“This is for the worst-case scenario, but, well. Of course, the organization will be the best.”

Hyun Geun-young stood up from his seat with confidence, and Yoo-hyun followed him and said casually.

“I look forward to the organization you will lead, senior.”

Flinch.

He twitched his mouth and answered calmly.

“I got it. I’ll contact you later.”

“Please be careful.”

Yoo-hyun sent him off with a good mood.

Clank.

It was after the door closed.

Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, looked at Yoo-hyun with disbelief.

“Now I see, you’re not Kang-tae-gong, but Bong-i Kim Seon-dal.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s a saying that you sell the water of the Daedong River so well. Now you even make a new organization and offer it.”

Kwon Se-jung laughed sarcastically, and Yoo-hyun corrected him.

“Offer? That’s not what you say to a future colleague. Right, Jun-sik?”

“Yes. That’s right. Thanks to you, the equipment investment part is also relieved.”

“I was worried about who to ask for that part, but it worked out well, right?”

Kwon Se-jung looked at Yoo-hyun, who spoke casually, and asked incredulously.

“Are you really going to let Jang Jae-ho be in charge of the technology transfer work from the Future Product Research Institute?”

“Of course. I’ll tell Senior Hyun about that part.”

“Haha. Amazing. I see you making something out of nothing.”

“I didn’t have anything, but I had a vision.”

President, group leader, development manager, Future Product Research Institute, etc.

He had nothing in his hand but a vision that it would be okay when he convinced everyone who opposed him.

The reason why his somewhat vague words could gain strength was because they were not in the wrong direction.

Yoo-hyun looked at his colleagues who added momentum to him and continued.

“And I had you guys.”

“Sir.”

“What, you’re so ticklish.”

Jang Jun-sik’s eyes sparkled, while Kwon Se-jung shivered as if he had goosebumps.

Then, the announcement that signaled the end of work at the Yeouido Center rang through the speaker.

-Thank you for your hard work today. Let’s be a loyal Hansung person to our family by leaving work on time.

As soon as the announcement ended, Yoo-hyun suggested.

“We have less work today, how about a drink?”

“Did you see the email that Kim Hak-il team leader sent to Shinwa Semiconductor? There are a lot of things to worry about to deal with that.”

“We can do that tomorrow.”

Kwon Se-jung refused Yoo-hyun’s offer easily.

But his way of refusal was very absurd.

“I’ll have to work overtime from tomorrow. I’ll just be a loyal Hansung person to my family today.”

“Why do you need a family when you live alone?”

Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes.

Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, bowed politely with his hands clasped.

“Sir, I’m a single household, so if I don’t go, my family will collapse.”

“Haha. You can’t let that happen. Go ahead.”

Yoo-hyun burst out laughing at his ridiculous words.

He waved his hand at Jang Jun-sik, who was next to him, after laughing for a while.

“Jun-sik, you should go and take care of your family too.”

“No, sir. I’ll stay longer and work.”

“Hey, listen to your boss. You can do it tomorrow.”

Jang Jun-sik moved only after Yoo-hyun cut him off.

“Yes. I understand.”

“Haha.”

Yoo-hyun laughed for a long time.

Nothing was more important than health, as well as taking care of one’s family.

He headed to the gym for the first time in a long time after leaving work.

Pause.

He stopped in front of the old three-story building and tilted his head.

“Is the door open?”

He was puzzled, as the sign that should have been shining was turned off.

The first and second floors were the same, except for the third floor Number One Gym.

Yoo-hyun checked the message that Oh Jung-wook had sent him a while ago, just in case.

-Come and visit. The gym remodeling is done. Of course, bring something with you when you come.

Yoo-hyun, who had brought a lot of tissue paper, entered the building.

The gym was dark, as if the sign was turned off.

There was no one there, but that was not the case.

There were people working out inside.

“You have to focus more in the dark. Hook. Hook.”

“Hook. Hook.”

They responded in unison to Oh Jung-wook’s high-pitched voice.

The flashlight beam swept through the darkness and caught the sight of the staff shaking their bodies.

“Come on, one-two, one-two.”

Whish whish.

Everyone was sweating under Oh Jung-wook’s guidance.

Yoo-hyun chuckled at the absurd sight in front of him.

“What are you doing?”

At Yoo-hyun’s question, Oh Jung-wook raised his hand.

“Hey, you’re here?”

“Hello, sir.”

The new staff members who were working out got up and greeted Yoo-hyun.

They all knew each other, but they couldn’t tell who they were in the dark.

Yoo-hyun nodded lightly and asked again.

“Hyung, why did you turn off the lights?”

“Do you think I did it on purpose?”

“Why? Did the electricity go out?”

“As you can see.”

Yoo-hyun turned his head to where Oh Jung-wook shone his flashlight.

The flashlight light passed through the neatly renovated ring and the new exercise equipment and headed to the ceiling.

The fluorescent lights that were exposed were replaced by LED lights.

It looked like the remodeling was done well, so he was more puzzled.

“Did you mess up the electricity while working?”

Yoo-hyun’s question made Oh Jung-wook sigh deeply.

“Sigh. Guys, let’s take a break and do it again.”

“Yes.”

The new staff members answered loudly at his gesture.

They came in admiring the champion Lee Jang-woo, maybe?

They warmed up on their own in the poor environment.

Bang. Bang bang.

As the sound of exercise came from here and there, Oh Jung-wook’s voice came from where he was sitting.

“What happened was…”

“The landlord?”

“Yeah. He swallowed our electricity bill and ran away.”

“Why? It’s not that much.”

“He had some problems. Actually…”

The landlord, who suddenly told them to leave, grabbed the gym owner by the collar, and soon after, he smashed the landlord who brought the thugs.

It all happened in a short time when Yoo-hyun was worried about the nerve problem.

He listened to the story and tilted his head.

“Why did you remodel the gym after fighting like that? It’s obvious that you should leave.”

“No. He said he had no grudge. The remodeling was also agreed upon in advance.”

“But he suddenly raised the rent?”

“Yeah. He hit us in the back of the head.”

It was clear that they were bullied without having to look into the details.

It was unfair, but Yoo-hyun thought the gym staff were too naive.

“You should have gotten a contract.”

“I don’t know about complicated things. Anyway, the gym owner took some people and went to catch the landlord.”

“What?”

Yoo-hyun asked incredulously.

Creak.

The gym owner came in, scratching his head.

Park Young-hoon and Kang Dong-sik, who followed him, put down the big boxes they were carrying.

Thud.

Oh Jung-wook, who got up from his seat, ran over and asked.

“Boss, did you catch him?”

“I don’t know. That bastard, he knew we were coming and ran away again.”

“Why is he running away? He’ll lose anyway if he gets caught.”

“That’s what I’m saying. I don’t know why he’s making such a big deal out of something that can be solved by talking.”

The two people shook their heads as if they didn’t understand, in the light that came in through the window.

Yoo-hyun, who came closer after hearing the story, looked at them incredulously.

“No, you look threatening, don’t you?”

“Huh? Yoo-hyun, you’re here? What do you mean by threatening?”

“Why?”

Yoo-hyun turned his head slightly and looked at Kang Dong-sik, who was sitting down and tearing the box.

At that moment, everyone’s eyes turned to the same place.
