Real Man

The group wanted to question Hansung Display, but they couldn’t.

It was because of an unexpected effect.

Yoo-hyun browsed the news that was hot with comments at home.

-What is Ilsung Display? The performance difference is not big, but the bonus difference is more than twice. -Ilsung is doomed because of Choi Min-yong. He is too timid for a crown prince. -Right. How can he be worse than a salaried president? -Hansung will finally beat Ilsung completely. Just like Korea would unite even if it lost to other countries as long as it won against Japan, Hansung was the same.

As long as they beat Ilsung, they would be tolerated to some extent unless they committed a mortal sin.

This was exactly the case.

Of course, not all the comments were good.

-Hansung Display would blow Ilsung away if their smartphone exploded. -Smartphones are impossible. The design is ruined. -The UX is also much worse than Ilsung. -Well. I’d rather use a Chinese one than expect Hansung’s smartphone.

Han Jae-hee, who was watching the monitor next to him, was incredulous.

“Why are you excited?”

“Doesn’t it look like I’m not excited? I’m already frustrated enough because of that.”

“What’s so frustrating?”

“No, no matter how much I tell the development department…”

Han Jae-hee was in charge of the smartphone UX design.

He was directly related, so it was understandable that he was excited.

Yoo-hyun listened to the fact that he already knew well and checked the other news.

Click.

There were so many related news.

It was clearly good news, but it was too much for the situation.

Especially, the news that came up recently had a strange nuance.

They were not bad news.

But he couldn’t erase the feeling that they were pushing in a certain direction.

And he had experienced this kind of manipulation a lot in the past.

‘It’s time to start.’

When and how would Shin Kyung-soo show his face?

He already had an answer in his head.

As he was well prepared, he also saw his downfall clearly.

Let’s see.

Yoo-hyun’s lips curled up.

Meanwhile, there was someone who looked at the recent news with a similar perspective to Yoo-hyun.

It was Vice President Lim Hyuk-soo.

He smiled faintly and was lost in thought.

‘I remember when the lady lost her necklace.’

A long time ago, the young Shin Kyung-soo used a maid to frame Shin Kyung-wook.

He had done such a skillful job that Shin Kyung-wook had no way out.

Strangely enough, Shin Kyung-wook didn’t make any excuses, and Shin Kyung-soo scored points by mocking his brother.

It was in front of all the royal family.

Thanks to that, Shin Kyung-soo crushed his competitor without getting any blood on his hands.

It was the secret of Shin Kyung-soo’s victory in any game.

Was it a coincidence that he felt like he was doing the same thing now?

No.

It was clear what he was aiming for when he saw the direction of Hansung that Shin Kyung-soo presented.

The future of Hansung that he pursued was too different from his brother’s vision.

It was so different that there could be no compromise unless one side’s mind was bent.

The problem was, he had to choose one of them.

-Choose the successor from the plans that the two guys presented.

He had to come up with a plan to complete the last mission given by Chairman Shin Hyun-ho.

But it was vague because they were too different.

“How should I do this?”

Vice President Lim Hyuk-soo’s worries deepened.

Time passed and it was the last day at Yeouido Center.

Yoo-hyun was with his Future Technology TF colleagues in Executive Director Hong Il-seop’s office.

Executive Director Hong Il-seop, who had a cup of tea, asked Yoo-hyun.

“Did you finish the handover?”

“Yes. I was on my way to say goodbye.”

“How are the team members? They look like a lot. Aren’t you sorry?”

“Why would I be? They’re good.”

The newly established Future Strategy Product Planning Team was located in the Strategy Product Planning section on the 12th floor.

It was an official team, and with many members, they would have more momentum for their future work.

He had cleared his worries, so there was no reason to be sorry.

Executive Director Hong Il-seop read the sincerity in Yoo-hyun’s expression and glanced at him.

“Those guys will be on the stage in the auditorium soon and be recognized as an official team. Then the future product manager will receive an award.”

“I know.”

“If it were the original, the Future Technology TF would have received the spotlight together on that stage. Aren’t you sorry about that?”

“We didn’t get an award separately. That’s enough.”

“Isn’t that a manager’s thought?”

Executive Director Hong Il-seop looked past Yoo-hyun, who answered calmly, and looked at the other members.

They were all friends who left a deep impression.

The miracle they created in a short period of time was more amazing than any result.

The amazing friends gave humble answers as if they had made a promise.

“No. We think the same.”

“We’ve already received enough.”

“Thank you for taking care of us.”

Squeak.

Executive Director Hong Il-seop smiled and got up and reached out his hand.

“Deputy Kwon Se-jung, thanks to your report, the company made a big profit. Thank you.”

“Thank you.”

Executive Director Hong Il-seop shook hands with Deputy Kwon Se-jung, followed by Deputy Jung Hyun-woo, Deputy Jang Jun-sik.

The senior executive told them what he felt and saw in person, and they all had a grateful expression.

The last one was Yoo-hyun’s turn.

Executive Director Hong Il-seop asked him with a sharp look.

“Will we see each other again?”

“Of course. Call me anytime you need me. It would be better if it’s when we can eat something delicious.”

“Haha! Sure.”

Executive Director Hong Il-seop chuckled at Yoo-hyun’s cheerful words.

His face, which was famous for being stiff, had a rare bright smile.

After saying his last goodbye, Yoo-hyun returned to his seat and packed his things.

He felt sorry to leave this office, which was more independent than anything else.

He had many memories in this small space.

He felt that way, so how would Deputy Jung Hyun-woo feel, who had carefully decorated this space?

Tap.

Yoo-hyun put his hand on Deputy Jung Hyun-woo’s shoulder and said.

“Let’s decorate a bigger place more nicely next time.”

“Sure. Leave it to me.”

Deputy Jung Hyun-woo, who he thought would be gloomy, smiled confidently.

His expression was full of anticipation, which had been worrying about moving to the Innovation Strategy Office.

He felt like he had grown a lot more than before.

When he came down to the first floor, there were hardly any people coming and going.

Especially, Hansung Display’s staff were not visible at all.

The reason was written on the banner hanging in front of the auditorium entrance.

-2012 Q1 Hansung Display Company Quarterly Meeting.

Yoo-hyun asked Deputy Jang Jun-sik, who was hesitating in front of it.

“Aren’t you sorry you can’t go on stage?”

“No. It’s natural to take care of the people who are leaving. It would be awkward otherwise.”

“Kid. You say everything.”

Yoo-hyun laughed softly at Jang Jun-sik, who shook his head vigorously.

He had worked hard, so there was no way he wasn’t sorry.

Everyone likes to receive more praise and attention.

Then, Deputy Kwon Se-jung, who was ahead, stopped.

“What is this?”

“Huh? This…”

Deputy Jung Hyun-woo, who followed him, blinked his eyes at the wall.

He wondered what it was and saw metal plates that were slightly larger than A4 paper.

The annual outstanding performance cases of the affiliates were engraved on the metal plates.

They had been doing some construction behind the curtain a while ago, and this was what they made.

“…”

The moment he saw the metal plate on the far right, Yoo-hyun lost his words.

-Hansung Display Innovation Development Award: Future Technology TF

Activity period: 6 months (June 20, 2011-January 20, 2012)

Performance: 500 billion won in sales

Members: Manager Han Yoo-hyun, Deputy Kwon Se-jung, Deputy Jung Hyun-woo, Deputy Jang Jun-sik.

Why did they hang this here?

He felt both absurd and ticklish.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung, who was next to him, also felt the same and grumbled.

“They should have told us beforehand. We would have missed it if we didn’t see it.”

“Right. It’s not very impressive.”

Yoo-hyun shook his head and Deputy Jung Hyun-woo and Deputy Jang Jun-sik each said a word.

“But it’s better that they added deputy to it.”

“Yes. It was employee on the plaque.”

They pretended it was nothing, but they all had nostalgic expressions.

They had done a lot and learned a lot here.

Even Yoo-hyun, who was confident that he knew everything, was the same.

He was able to become stronger thanks to his good colleagues.

He felt like he had marked a milestone in his company life.

He broke his thoughts and Yoo-hyun said.

“Shall we go then?”

“Just a moment.”

Deputy Jung Hyun-woo casually took out his phone.

Snap.

“I just wanted to record it.”

He took a picture of the metal plate and looked around.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung coughed.

“Ahem. Since you’re taking a picture, how about a group photo?”

“Well, that’s not bad.”

Yoo-hyun also pretended to be strong and tapped Deputy Jang Jun-sik.

He meant to hurry up and stick to his side.

Deputy Jang Jun-sik ran over to his side and Deputy Jung Hyun-woo stretched out his arm.

“Let’s take a picture. Kimchi!”

Snap.

The four faces and the metal plate were captured on the small phone screen.

They pretended it was nothing, but they all looked very happy.

This was how his short but impactful Yeouido life ended.

The Innovation Strategy Office was located on the 8th floor of Hansung Tower in Gangnam.

The floor was the same as when Yoo-hyun visited before, but the structure was drastically changed.

It was not just the exterior.

They hired a lot of new staff and changed the organization completely.

Was it because it had just changed?

He felt a sense of chaos from the entrance.

Even Deputy Kwon Se-jung, who had worked in the Innovation Strategy Office for a while, was very awkward.

“It’s very awkward.”

“Don’t be nervous. This is our territory now.”

“It’s not that, Yoo-hyun. You just ignore it and go to the meeting quickly.”

“Okay. Take care of my seat.”

Yoo-hyun tapped his colleague’s shoulder, who pretended to be strong, and moved on.

Yoo-hyun had a different place to go.

He left his colleagues behind and went to the meeting room.

In the secret space where the four sides were blocked, the members of the Innovation Strategy Office he always met were sitting.

Vice President Shin Kyung-wook, Executive Director Yeo Tae-sik, Manager Park Doo-sik, and Chief Park Seung-woo were the main characters.

The greetings were brief.

Manager Park Doo-sik, who stood next to the screen, briefed briefly.

“The reason we gathered here today is to share the recent media situation…”

Then he played the broadcast video that was an issue a while ago.

Bang.

A man appeared as a guest in the studio of a domestic current affairs program.

He was Gerald Kim, a famous journalist who was active in the United States.

He was a well-known figure in Korea as well, with his exotic appearance and direct speech.

As soon as he saw his face, Yoo-hyun’s eyes fixed on him.

The video played from the main scene.
