Real Man

Chapter 420:

Yoo-hyun asked casually, looking at Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director who answered without much concern.

“Is that so? Did you tip them?”

“Of course. The kimchi fried rice was so delicious. No other restaurant can match this place.”

“I see.”

Yoo-hyun felt a bit relieved now.

Shin Kyung-wook was a person who knew how to appreciate even the smallest things.

Shin Kyung-wook, the senior director, wondered if Yoo-hyun’s expression was more downcast than he expected.

“Why? Do I look strange?”

“Of course not. You look very nice. You should always reward those who do you a favor.”

Yoo-hyun finally got it.

He felt like he understood why the staff of the Innovation Strategy Office worked so hard voluntarily.

At this rate, wouldn’t it be safe to trust and leave everything to the Innovation Strategy Office?

Swoosh.

Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director, pushed his plate forward in front of Yoo-hyun, who was smiling with a belated realization.

“Try it. It’s amazing.”

“Thank you. I appreciate this rare food.”

“Haha. Sure.”

Yoo-hyun looked at Shin Kyung-wook, who was smiling brightly, and thought that he was a really good leader.

And he was grateful to be able to work with him again.

The gears that had been misaligned in the past were now perfectly aligned.

The preparation for the camping trip went smoothly.

There was no reason for any gaps to occur as the staff below the deputy level of each team actively participated.

The accommodation was already booked, and some of the food was already ordered online.

The activity manager had already surveyed the staff and made a list of fun things to do.

The drinking manager prepared liquor, various drinks, and cocktails with the liquor he received from the business director.

One day before the camping trip.

Yoo-hyun went to see Kim Hyun-min, the section chief, with the camping report that had been organized so far.

Kim Hyun-min’s eyes widened as he skimmed through the content.

“Never mind anything else, is this possible with the budget?”

“Yes. It is possible. You can see it written there.”

“Lobster 1.3 million won, meat 1 million won, water skiing and leisure 1 million won, accommodation and transportation costs…”

“Right?”

Kim Hyun-min, who was reading the report content, snorted and changed his words.

“I guess it works.”

“It’s only a one-night schedule. And we have the company bus support.”

“We’re coming back right away on the second day morning.”

“They worked hard to collaborate, so they need to rest for a day.”

“Heh. Our Han deputy is amazing.”

Kim Hyun-min snorted as if he couldn’t stand Yoo-hyun’s casual answer.

Yoo-hyun took it well again.

“Thank you for your compliment.”

“Sure. Do whatever you want.”

Kim Hyun-min finally gave up with a resigned expression and waved his hand.

He had already done everything he could, so there was no point in interfering.

Then Yoo-hyun added more fuel to the fire.

“Okay. I’ll send an email with this as it is and refer it to the group leader.”

“What? He might kill me if he sees this.”

“It’s okay. The business director approved it.”

Yoo-hyun smiled brightly and got up from his seat.

Kim Hyun-min put his hand on his forehead and shook his head.

“Ha. This kid.”

“He’s too pretty?”

“He doesn’t back down at all. Yeah. He’s pretty enough to die for.”

“Don’t just think I’m pretty and take care of the people who worked hard. There’s a list of managers in charge at the end of the report, so remember that.”

“…”

Yoo-hyun left a word of advice and winked as he turned around.

Slam.

Kim Hyun-min opened the last page as he sat down on his seat.

There were names of staff below deputy level who prepared for the camping trip divided into categories of food, accommodation, activity, and drinking.

It wasn’t just a simple classification of names, but also what each person did was clearly visible at a glance.

He was already planning to take care of some of the young employees from other teams.

Seeing this, he immediately thought of what to say to show his friendliness first.

“How far does that guy think ahead?”

Kim Hyun-min shook his head as if he couldn’t stand it.

Yoo-hyun returned to his office seat and sent an email with the first summary of the camping trip that he reported to Kim Hyun-min.

He included not only TF members but also group leaders who supported the amount as references.

Lee Bon-seok, the team leader who saw it, twisted his face.

“He really goes all out.”

Jang Jun Hong, the team leader next to him, agreed.

“I don’t know what he’s doing for a useless camping trip. The young guys are all out preparing for the camping trip, and the work doesn’t get done.”

“I know. Our side is also full of complaints from managers and deputy managers.”

“Then shouldn’t we stand up and do something? If this goes on, the organizational hierarchy will collapse.”

Jang Jun Hong pushed him slightly, but Lee Bon-seok had no way out this time.

“The business director ordered it himself. He reported it to the group leader as it is. How can we stop that?”

“Sigh. I don’t know if we’ll all get eaten up by this.”

“Let’s wait for the right time. If he keeps going like this, there will be a gap for sure.”

Lee Bon-seok clenched his fist.

On the other hand, the staff in charge of preparing for the camping trip were encouraged.

They saw that their opinions were 100 percent reflected in the shared materials.

From the perspective of the staff who were doing the work, they couldn’t help but be excited.

Maybe that’s why?

Later, even without being asked, the managers in charge gathered separately.

The staff who gathered beyond the team came up with more constructive opinions on their own.

“How about a treasure hunt?”

“Since we’re going to the waterfront, how about a swimming mission?”

“I’ll make a drinking game board. I have one from college, and it’s awesome.”

It was hard to believe that these were the people who hated preparing for the camping trip.

The opinions that came out like this were continuously added to the report.

Jang Jun Sik collected and organized them, and Kwon Se-Joon, the deputy, checked the budget one by one.

This hot passion continued until the day before the camping trip.

The day before the camping trip.

When Yoo-hyun sat down at his office seat after having lunch.

A man with short hair and a good build passed by Yoo-hyun and approached Kwon Se-Joon, the deputy.

“General affairs manager, 300 salted pork skewers have been delivered. I’ll put them in the refrigerator in the break room.”

“Already? Yun Soo, you did a good job.”

“What are you talking about? You’re the one who’s working harder, Mr. Choongmu.”

Yang Yoonsoo, from the IT team, bowed his head and returned to his seat with a white styrofoam box in his hand.

He was in high spirits, even though the box looked quite heavy.

Yoo-hyun, who was watching him, asked Kwon Se-jung, the assistant manager.

“They seem pretty close, huh?”

“It’s because we’ve been seeing each other a lot while preparing for the picnic. I thought he was rough, but he turned out to be a nice guy. He has no rough edges.”

Yoo-hyun chuckled and teased Kwon Se-jung’s behavior.

“Why are you glancing at Junsik while talking? Are you saying Junsik is rough, huh?”

“No, it’s not like that. I just turned my head for a moment.”

As soon as Kwon Se-jung made a lame excuse, Jang Junsik turned his head sharply.

“Did I hear something wrong?”

“No, Junsik. Hurry up and finish it. Don’t you have to print it out and distribute it?”

Kwon Se-jung quickly changed the subject, as if he was used to this kind of situation.

“Yes. I got it.”

Jang Junsik answered and immediately immersed himself in organizing the data.

As always, his concentration was unparalleled.

Swoosh.

Yoo-hyun leaned his head slightly and peeked at the page displayed on Jang Junsik’s monitor.

“What’s that?”

“I thought we might need some detailed schedules and contingency plans, so we made them ourselves.”

Yoo-hyun was impressed by Kwon Se-jung’s answer.

“You even organized that? That’s amazing.”

“I couldn’t tell you because you looked so busy lately. Do you want to see it?”

Yoo-hyun didn’t have much time to sit at his desk because he had to meet a lot of people.

He didn’t need to check the content that was not necessary, so he shook his head.

“No. It’s fine. What difference does it make if I see it?”

“There’s nothing we can’t change. Just tell me. I’ll take your opinion into account.”

“Oh, are you now capable of controlling other teams? You used to be so scared at first.”

“That’s right. We got closer as we prepared for the picnic together. It was amazing. Thanks to that, the work went smoothly.”

It looked like it was really going well.

Thanks to that, the wall that had been firmly built between the teams seemed to have crumbled a bit.

Yoo-hyun gave him a thumbs up with that thought in mind.

“That’s good. Very nice to see.”

“It’s not me, it’s the others who worked hard. Anyway, I hope it ends well like this.”

“What could go wrong? It looks like it’s going to be fun.”

The list alone showed that the picnic was bound to be a success.

So what if there was a problem?

As long as they had a united mind like now, it would be no different from having fun drinking in a room.

You could tell by looking at how they prepared.

Even though the situation was so optimistic, Kwon Se-jung worried about something unnecessary.

“That would be nice, right? What if something suddenly blows up? No, that won’t happen. Hahaha.”

Yoo-hyun felt creepy when he heard Kwon Se-jung’s awkward laugh.

When was it?

There was a time when Kang Jong-ho, the senior manager at Yeontae-ri, invited him with a similar nuance.

As soon as he said that, a sudden downpour came and an audit from the Group Strategy Office followed.

Yoo-hyun returned to his seat and glanced out the window.

The weather was sunny and there was no sign of rain.

“Could something like that happen again?”

Yoo-hyun lowered his head and picked up his phone, just in case.

It was absurd, but it was better to check the bridge before crossing it.

Ding.

He sent a confirmation request message to Park Doo-sik, the deputy manager, and sat down at his desk.

Then he went on an internet site and browsed the news.

There was no special news.

Most of them were things he already knew.

He was sure of that until a while ago.

Thud.

“Huh? Why is this popping up now?”

Yoo-hyun’s eyes widened when he saw the title of the newly posted article.

When he skimmed through the content, it wasn’t just a provocation. They flaunted their OLED panels and criticized Hansung’s panels.

They also mixed in some nonsense that smartphones couldn’t perform well without OLEDs.

If it was another company, he would have laughed it off, but the opponent was Ilsung.

Ilsung’s recently released smartphone was also getting a good response, so the mobile phone division had no choice but to respond.

Because they bit on the panel, the LCD division was also bound to be affected.

“This is going to be big.”

Yoo-hyun intuitively realized that something was going wrong.

Zing.

Soon after, Park Doo-sik’s message confirmed that Yoo-hyun’s uneasy hunch was reality.

-How did you know? I was just keeping an eye on the Group Strategy Office because they seemed suspicious. I heard a rumor that they are auditing the TV panel production line at Gimpo factory. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s updated.

“TV too?”

By the time Yoo-hyun got up from his seat, Choi Min-hee, the team leader, was already talking to Kim Hyun-min, the manager, with a serious expression.

Choi Min-hee also seemed to have just noticed the article.

He turned his head and saw Lee Bon-seok, the team leader, running away while answering the phone.

His face was pale, which meant he must have received some information too.

This wasn’t the end.

A loud voice came from behind the partition.

“Why are you claiming Dell for logo marketing? They leaked other customer information, what’s up with that?”

“I’ll check it out right away.”

IT Jang Junghong, the team leader, snapped at Na Ha-neol, the deputy manager, who bowed his head and returned to his seat.

Swoosh.

The atmosphere of TF was stirred by the sudden abnormal behavior of the team leaders.
