Real Man

Chapter 353:

Chapter 353

Yoo-hyun spoke firmly, with confidence in his voice.

“Don’t worry. I have a sure way to do it.”

“Can you tell me what it is?”

“It wouldn’t be fun if I told you now. I’ll show you the results.”

Yoo-hyun smiled and acted casually.

It was not something that could be understood by just telling.

Especially for Park Chul-hong, the team leader who looked nervous, it was something he would never have thought of.

Yoo-hyun gave a smile to Park Chul-hong, who had wide eyes.

Meanwhile, Lee Young-nam, the section chief, whispered to Bae Yong-hwan.

“Didn’t I tell you? He has everything prepared.”

“I guess so. We just need to watch the fishing spot.”

Bae Yong-hwan nodded, and Bae Yong-seok, who was listening next to him, showed a determined look.

Different thoughts crossed on the large platform.

Park Chul-hong’s worry subsided faster than Yoo-hyun expected.

After all, he had eaten up this audit.

And he also received active support from Lee Young-nam, the section chief.

He was so satisfied with the reality that he clenched his mouth to hold back his laughter.

It was after Lee Young-nam left, in the break room.

It was the first time in a long time that the four of them gathered there, and Park Chul-hong opened his mouth.

He said something he would never have said before.

“Han, how about donating one monitor left after assembling to the village hall?”

“That would be nice. I’m sure the villagers will like it.”

“Right?”

He asked back, and Yoo-hyun answered with a smile.

He had already received a big favor from the TV, so he widened his scope of thinking.

He looked like he had learned a little bit of social life at a late age.

“Who’s going to do that?”

He even said a gentle word to Jo Ki-jeong, who asked with a prickly expression.

“How about going to eat tangsuyuk that you like? I’ll pay for it.”

“Huh. Really? What’s going on?”

When Kang Jong-ho, who was next to him, asked in surprise, Park Chul-hong made an awkward expression and dodged the question.

“It’s nothing. Just going.”

Then Jo Ki-jeong, who got up from his seat, answered curtly.

“Then let’s go tomorrow. I’m a bit tired today.”

“Okay. Let’s do that. Han, are you okay?”

“Yes. Sure. I’m always okay with drinking.”

There was no reason to refuse when he offered to treat them.

Yoo-hyun got up from his seat first.

It was time to wrap up the work.

That evening.

Yoo-hyun, who didn’t go to the fishing spot, spent time rolling around in his room.

He read books, made phone calls, and checked his emails on his laptop.

He used the internet cable in the factory, which was slow but worked fine.

There were several emails waiting for him, but the one from Jang Junsik caught his eye.

It looked like he had attached some data, judging by the large size.

As soon as he opened the data, a chuckle escaped from Yoo-hyun’s mouth.

“Couldn’t you just ask me?”

He had gone through the trouble of making a formal report to ask a question he was curious about.

It wasn’t a sloppy one either. He had included all the relevant evidence and sources.

At this point, it was hard to tell if he was asking or informing.

It was such a Jang Junsik thing to do, and Yoo-hyun didn’t hesitate to reply.

He was already getting daily reports from Jang Junsik, so he had a clear picture of how the company was doing.

-When making ultra-high resolution using LCD process, the things you need to check with planning are…

He quickly sent a concise email and checked Kim Younggil’s email as well.

The executives from Apple were coming to visit the factory, and he seemed to be very busy.

He was not someone who usually asked for favors, but he reached out first.

It wasn’t a difficult matter, so Yoo-hyun gladly put his hands on the laptop keyboard.

-I think you should mention the development of large-size panels related to the next-generation products that I told you about before. If you want to know how to do it…

There was also an email from Yeo Tae-sik, the vice president.

It was about the organizational change proposal that Yoo-hyun had mentioned last time.

Even though he still had time, he had already made a plan.

He had written it so meticulously that there wasn’t much for Yoo-hyun to change.

Yoo-hyun only pointed out the parts that he had missed.

-I think it would be good to form a temporary TF with an integrated organization of TV, IT, and mobile. Instead, you should link the staff in charge of sales and marketing…

This newly formed organization would later lead to the explosive growth of the LCD division when Apple announced its retina display.

The spin-off based on the growth of the LCD division was also essential for securing Shin Kyung-wook’s position as a senior executive director.

With the momentum gained from here, he had to break through the piled-up problems in one go.

That way, he could push back Han Kyung-hoe’s strong pressure and reshuffle the rotten board.

Of course, it was easier said than done.

There were too many things that were hard to handle even with his full effort.

To overcome them,

Yoo-hyun drew a big picture in his head as usual.

The words of the straw hat man echoed in his mind like a reverberation.

-Tsk tsk. Your head is full of things you have to do in the future. How can you empty it?

Was it something that popped up in his head?

Or did he really hear it?

The voice was so vivid that it confused him.

Yoo-hyun took his hands off the keyboard and approached the window.

Only the sound of grasshoppers filled the dark landscape.

There was nothing there, but Yoo-hyun repeated his answer to the straw hat man in his mind.

-How can I change anything if I don’t think about what I have to do?

He didn’t expect an answer back.

Yoo-hyun just silently looked outside.

The night breeze rustled over the grass.

The next day, the work at the factory was as usual, uneventful.

The only thing that changed was one more record added to the work log.

It was after finishing such a peaceful day.

The team members, including the leader Park Chul-hong, gathered at a Chinese restaurant in the village.

They rarely ate lunch together, so it felt awkward to sit around a round table.

The atmosphere was silent, with only the chopsticks clinking, as they waited for the pickled radish to come out.

Yoo-hyun shook his head suddenly.

He had unconsciously thought of his future plans again.

He tried not to think about it deliberately, but it was not easy.

“What’s wrong?”

Park Chul-hong asked, and Yoo-hyun made an excuse.

“Nothing. But this is my first time coming here. I’ve only ordered delivery before.”

“We don’t come here often either. It’s far, and they deliver anyway.”

“I see.”

Park Chul-hong made an excuse, but the reason they didn’t come was simple.

They didn’t like company dinners in general.

They were stingy with socializing with people, so they didn’t see any reason to come out and eat together.

It could be seen as individualism, but there was also a comfortable aspect to it.

Thanks to that, they had a lot of time to think quietly.

Yoo-hyun took advantage of the awkward silence and practiced emptying his mind.

He relaxed his body comfortably, like the straw hat man had done.

He breathed deeply, thinking of letting go of everything in his heart.

The quiet table was interrupted by the owner of the Chinese restaurant bringing out the food himself.

He was a man with a dull impression, with sparse hair and eyebrows.

He slammed down the plate of sweet and sour pork and grumbled.

“Geez, why does the village chief want me to give this as a service?”

“Mr. Nam, what do you mean by that?”

Park Chul-hong asked, and Nam Hee-woong glared at him.

“I only get enough money from the village to cover your black bean noodles. How can I afford to give you sweet and sour pork for free?”

“What? That’s not fair. It’s okay.”

Yoo-hyun slowly turned his head at the sound of his voice.

Nam Hee-woong was giving him a dirty look, but he didn’t feel bad at all.

Rather, he smiled calmly.

“Thank you for your generosity.”

“You have some nerve.”

Nam Hee-woong snorted, and Park Chul-hong tried to smooth things over.

“Mr. Nam, I’ll pay for it.”

“No. If you don’t accept it after I offer it, I’ll look like a cheapskate. Just drink more alcohol.”

“Okay. Please give us more.”

“Fine. That way I can make some profit too.”

Nam Hee-woong put down two bottles of liquor in front of Park Chul-hong.

He seemed to have planned to push them on them from the beginning, since he brought them without being asked.

Kang Jong-ho said to Yoo-hyun, who was smiling.

“The owner is especially cranky today.”

“Is he not usually like that?”

“Well, he’s a bit grumpy, but he’s a gentleman compared to the boss.”

“Why? The boss is a bit hot-tempered, but he has a straightforward personality, which is nice.”

Yoo-hyun tilted his head in confusion, and Park Chul-hong, the team leader next to him, stuck out his tongue.

“He’s only like that to Han Joo-im, only to Han Joo-im.”

“First, have a drink.”

Yoo-hyun, who chuckled, poured liquor into his glass.

Gulp.

Park Chul-hong emptied his glass as soon as he received it, perhaps because of the words of the Chinese restaurant owner.

He was a person who had a naive side to him.

Nam Hee-woong grumbled, but the food was really delicious.

The goryangju that followed the liquor was also clean and drinkable.

Especially, the greasy side dishes matched well with it.

Even the team members who didn’t like drinking kept drinking.

It was natural to get drunk quickly because of the high alcohol content.

Was it because of that?

The people who didn’t even open their mouths when they drank with the villagers started to spill their personal stories on their own.

The start was made by Park Chul-hong, the team leader.

“I came here and…”

He had been here for over a year and a half.

The transfer period was one year, but he got caught in an unexpected executive audit and got an additional penalty and his term was extended.

He had a lot of things piled up inside him, and his story gradually turned into a complaint.

The peak of his complaints was about his family.

“I wish they would live with me here for a while, but they don’t want to come. Sigh.”

As Park Chul-hong’s words ended, Cho Ki-jung opened his mouth.

He complained about his past frustrating work.

“I actually think this is better now. Before…”

Cho Ki-jung liked tinkering with electronic devices, but the actual work given to him was close to hard labor.

He became irritable because the work didn’t suit him, and he often clashed with his boss.

Then his reputation went down and he ended up in this remote business site. It was a common story.

Next was Kang Jong-ho’s turn.

He complained about his uncertain future.

“I don’t even know what to do next…”

Kang Jong-ho was very good at organizing things, but he didn’t use his strengths well.

So he didn’t know what kind of work he wanted to do in the company.

Listening to their various complaints, Yoo-hyun felt itchy in his mouth.

There were parts that he wanted to point out and advise them on.

He hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.

It might be better to let them babble on with liquor as an excuse for now.

They were also pouring out their hearts for once.

Yoo-hyun left behind the team members who were mixing up all kinds of words with alcohol and got up from his seat for a moment.

He wanted to get some fresh air because he had too many thoughts.

Trudge trudge.

Yoo-hyun walked for a while towards the forest behind the Chinese restaurant.

He didn’t mind the feeling of stepping on the soil as he walked through the sparse trees.

The cool breeze that blew in was also quite pleasant.

That’s when he walked deeper into the forest.

Bang.

A familiar impact sound reached his ears.

It was a sound that shouldn’t be heard in such a rural village, so he became curious.
