Yoo-hyun asked another question.
“So, even if that’s the case, I don’t think Sprint Company would have a contract that guarantees payment if the subcontractor goes bankrupt.”
-I agree with that. The consulting firm wouldn’t give them such a pretext.
Yoo-hyun guessed the situation following the hint that Paul Graham gave him.
“So, to sum it up, it was a detailed item that wouldn’t give the client a pretext, right?”
-Yeah. EnerTex wouldn’t have known either. It doesn’t make sense if they did.
“Then, there must be a traitor inside Sprint Company.”
Yoo-hyun’s eyes sparkled as he answered.
It was clear that the internal traitor had told EnerTex how to get the deposit.
He didn’t know what kind of algorithm it was, but it had to be related to the bankruptcy of the subcontractor.
As if to prove that Yoo-hyun’s guess was right, Paul Graham laughed.
-Haha! You figured that out from there, impressive. You have a good sense.
“…”
But Yoo-hyun was not in the mood to laugh.
He was troubled by the serious situation that Jeong Da-hye was in.
Paul Graham seemed to guess his feelings and brought up Jeong Da-hye’s story.
-Hmm, I don’t know if this will help you, but I think highly of Ellis Jeong. She has good drive and guts. I checked her reputation and it’s good too. I’d like to write a recommendation letter for her if she wants to join BCG.
“I know that. But the situation right now seems too hard for her to overcome with her abilities alone.”
-It must be. Anyone else would have run away several times by now. But why is Ellis holding on?
“It must be because of her sense of responsibility.”
Yoo-hyun finally figured out Jeong Da-hye’s personality after a long time, but Paul Graham grasped it with just a few reports.
He asked another question after hearing the expected answer.
-Is that so? Do you know why I asked you that?
“I don’t know.”
-Because I thought you would try to help.
“I have to help if I know there’s a problem.”
-Well, investing in companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy is one way to do it. They are small companies, so you can sell some of your Airbnb shares and it would be enough.
Paul Graham saw through the plan that Yoo-hyun was thinking of.
Yoo-hyun didn’t deny it and nodded.
“Yes. That’s what I’m thinking.”
-I like that. I can get more Airbnb shares through you. But does Ellis want that?
“What do you mean?”
-I know people like Ellis well. They have to win by themselves to feel satisfied. The common trait of those people is that they hate other people’s help.
“…”
-You might not be able to handle the consequences.
He meant that Jeong Da-hye might resent Yoo-hyun.
He had already made up his mind about that.
“It doesn’t matter. As long as I can help.”
-You’re romantic. Think about it more. I’ll sell you the shares anytime.
“Thank you for the advice.”
-Don’t mention it. Rather, I’m grateful that you introduced me to such an interesting story. Haha!
Paul Graham hung up the phone with a light laugh.
Yoo-hyun stared at the turned off screen for a long time.
It was normal for his head to be tangled and his heart to flutter.
But his eyes were clearer than ever.
He could see clearly what he had to do.
He had no hesitation to help.
But before that, Yoo-hyun had something to confirm with Jeong Da-hye.
He wanted to call her right away, but it was dawn in Texas, so he decided to wait.
It was an important matter, so he wanted to match the time as much as possible when she was comfortable to talk.
Yoo-hyun returned to his office and reviewed the Texas situation more deeply.
He also checked the value of his shares and the amount of money he could afford.
He also listed the things he had to prepare carefully.
After finishing his plan, Yoo-hyun finished his work and went outside.
He had a place to go after work today.
It was the place where Park Won-seok hosted a gathering with his friends.
Yoo-hyun arrived at the destination earlier than the scheduled time.
As he was about to enter the building, he heard a voice calling him.
“Yoo-hyun! Over here.”
He turned his head and saw his friend Kim Hyun-soo standing at the entrance of the building.
It was a long time since he met him in casual clothes instead of work clothes.
Yoo-hyun approached him with a glad heart.
“Hyun-soo, why are you here and not inside?”
“Just. I felt awkward being alone inside.”
“You feel that?”
“Of course. This is Seoul. It’s still strange to me.”
Kim Hyun-soo looked around the busy streets.
There were many people bustling under the bright neon signs.
It was a sight that he couldn’t see easily in his quiet hometown.
Yoo-hyun chuckled and pulled Kim Hyun-soo’s arm.
“Stop talking nonsense and let’s go in.”
Yoo-hyun went up to the third floor of the building with Kim Hyun-soo.
It was a restaurant that provided a buffet in an independent room, perfect for a small event.
There was a stage in the room that Yoo-hyun entered.
There was a small banner on it.
-Nice to see you, friend! The gathering of San-nae Middle School alumni.
Kim Hyun-soo commented on it.
“Won-seok must have been looking forward to this, huh?”
“I wonder why he prepared something like this.”
“He must have missed us. He always took care of his friends since he was young.”
“You weren’t bad either. Let’s sit down.”
Yoo-hyun smiled and took a seat at the round table.
It was still early, so his friends hadn’t arrived yet, and the food wasn’t ready either.
But it didn’t matter, because Yoo-hyun had his friend Kim Hyun-soo next to him.
Yoo-hyun listened to his friend’s story that he was curious about.
“I hired more staff for the car center. The demand for emergency dispatch increased, so I had more external work.”
“That doesn’t pay much, you said. It’s good to help people, but aren’t you pushing yourself too hard?”
“No. Thanks to that, I have a lot of people who take care of me. The other day, a president who received my help…”
Kim Hyun-soo said that last time he received a car as a token of gratitude, and this time he got a warehouse site next to the car center.
Thanks to him, his car center grew bigger.
Kim Hyun-soo did not use that money for his own benefit, but spent it on helping others.
It was a desirable example of how good deeds lead to more good deeds.
Yoo-hyun gave Kim Hyun-soo a thumbs up.
“Hyun-soo, you are amazing. How can you do that?”
“You shouldn’t say that to me.”
“Why?”
“It’s all thanks to you, Yoo-hyun…”
Kim Hyun-soo was about to reveal his sincere feelings.
Rattle.
The door opened and a short friend, Kang Jun-ki, came in.
He was so happy that he stretched out his arms and shouted.
“Hyun-soo! Yoo-hyun!”
“Are you drunk already?”
“I’m just in a good mood. In a good mood. Haha!”
Kang Jun-ki laughed heartily, looking at the incredulous Yoo-hyun.
He was much more excited than usual.
Yoo-hyun was puzzled by his appearance.
“What’s so good about it?”
“Today, So-hyun can’t come, right? Do you know how nervous I was that she might come?”
“Really. You were the one who said you wanted to see So-hyun at the last reunion.”
Yoo-hyun was the one who set them up back then.
Yoo-hyun stuck out his tongue, and Kang Jun-ki quickly put his hand down.
“Yoo-hyun, let’s stop talking about the past. We have a bright future ahead of us.”
“Why? When you were dating, you were so happy, but after you broke up, you became enemies?”
“That was five years ago. You know very well that a lot can change in five years, don’t you?”
Kang Jun-ki shrugged his shoulders and Kim Hyun-soo corrected him.
“Jun-ki, it’s ten years for the mountains to change.”
“Haha! Our Hyun-soo, still so serious. Well, let’s have fun with you for a change.”
He didn’t mind being corrected. Kang Jun-ki was smiling all the time and put his arms around the shoulders of his two friends.
Yoo-hyun and Kim Hyun-soo looked at him and chuckled.
No one could stop Kang Jun-ki when he was in a good mood.
He greeted every friend who came in with a loud voice, showing off his outgoing personality.
“Nice to see you, my friend!”
Thanks to him, the awkward atmosphere quickly warmed up.
Yoo-hyun also chatted lightly with the friends who filled the seats.
He vaguely remembered half of them, but that didn’t matter.
It was enough to share the childhood memories that were like gems.
“Hahaha!”
As the mood got better, the buffet food came in.
Everyone ate and talked about various things.
Clamor.
The loudest side was the table where Kang Jun-ki was sitting.
There was Lee Han-joon, who had been scammed by Lee Yong-oh at the last reunion five years ago.
He turned his pain into words.
“Hey, after I lost money to Yong-oh, I was so desperate…”
His words were full of vivid experience.
And Lee Han-joon was good at speaking.
Even Yoo-hyun, who was sitting at the next table, listened to his words.
Everyone else seemed to be the same, as questions came from here and there.
“Really? Han-joon, you made so much money from stocks?”
“Of course. I made more recently. I found something amazing.”
“What is it?”
“Ha, I shouldn’t tell you this.”
Yoo-hyun smiled at Lee Han-joon, who was playing hard to get.
He was very good at attracting attention.
Ignoring Yoo-hyun’s gaze, Lee Han-joon shook his phone in his hand.
“Do you guys know Messenger With? With?”
‘With?’
Yoo-hyun perked up his ears at the familiar word.
Kang Jun-ki, who was sitting next to him, asked.
“With? What is that?”
“Jun-ki, you’re an engineer and you don’t know that? You’re such a small guy.”
“Why are you talking about height? And you’re smaller than me.”
Kang Jun-ki snapped, and Lee Han-joon ignored him and continued.
“Never mind. Listen. With is a messenger with a stock bot, and this is an automatic trading program made by the top investor in the domestic investment contest, and…”
Lee Han-joon explained With as if it was his own product.
His explanation was very intuitive, thanks to his unique way of speaking.
It was good enough to be used as a promotional phrase.
Kang Jun-ki’s flashy reaction added to it.
“Wow! Really? Awesome! It shows the investment history. How can there be such a thing?”
Other friends also rushed to see Lee Han-joon’s phone.
“Hey, how do you download that?”
“Tell me. Let me use it too.”
“Is it true that you made a profit thanks to this, Han-joon?”
“Ahem! I’ll send you the link.”
Lee Han-joon shrugged his shoulders, looking proud.
He looked like an honorary ambassador for With.
Yoo-hyun was amused for a moment, and Kim Hyun-soo, who was next to him, muttered.
“I think I’ve heard of that too.”
“Where?”
“A customer at the car center recommended it. I didn’t know anything, so I didn’t install it.”
If Kim Hyun-soo heard about it, it meant that it was already quite widespread.
Yoo-hyun recalled what Park Young-hoon had said.
-The reaction to With is getting better and better. This is all because of my investment know-how in the stock bot. Hahaha!
Even if With was good, it wouldn’t have gotten such a response if it was just a simple messenger.
The starting point of all this phenomenon was the stock bot.
It was a situation where money was involved, so the interest was bound to be high.
Yoo-hyun was amazed by Park Young-hoon’s sense.
He stumbled upon it, but making the stock auto trading program was his request.
For once, Park Young-hoon did his role as a representative well.
Thanks to that, there were also people who wanted to come for an interview after experiencing With.
Maybe he would meet some interesting employees soon?
Yoo-hyun felt like he could see the big changes coming.
