Real Man-Chapter 744
Kwon Ik-tae, the team leader, waved his hand dismissively.
“What do you mean by dissatisfaction? Living here is much better than before. There are many amenities and the environment is nicer. And the apartment value has gone up so much. I’m very happy about it.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“By the way, Yena said she misses you a lot.”
“Why me?”
“She wants to video call with her handsome oppa again. If you have time now, maybe we can…”
“No, thank you. Put it away.”
Yoo-hyun quickly rejected him and sent him away after exchanging a few more words.
Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, who was watching quietly from the side, was incredulous.
“He’s clearly like an uncle to her, but she calls him oppa. What’s that about?”
“Never mind that. Don’t they look cheerful?”
Not only Kwon Ik-tae, the team leader, but also the expressions of the people sitting there were shadowless.
Kwon Se-jung nodded in agreement.
“Well, they do seem different.”
“Why don’t you check on the employees? I’ll go see the person in charge.”
“You always leave me with the hard stuff.”
Tap tap.
“Good luck.”
Yoo-hyun patted his colleague’s shoulder and turned around.
In the office of the future product manager, Hyun Geun-young, the director, was sitting.
He used to be the head of the department, but he became an executive when the group was converted into a business unit last year.
Yoo-hyun, who sat across from him, looked around the office and asked.

“Did you get rid of the folding bed?”
“Pfft. Of course. I only used it for a while. A short while.”
Hyun Geun-young, the director, was so flustered that he spilled the tea he was drinking.
Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes.
“I was just asking.”
“It’s a dark history for me. I’ll never sleep here again.”
“That’s a relief.”
“I don’t push the employees too hard either. You know how hard I work.”
“Uh, yes…”
“Really. I got a high score on the leader evaluation. Do you want to see it?”
Did he have this side to him?
He seemed to have no ambition, only focusing on research. But now he was overdoing it, trying to impress himself.
Yoo-hyun didn’t see his pretentious appearance as too bad.
He wasn’t here to evaluate him anyway. Yoo-hyun changed the topic.
“Director.”
“Hmm?”
“You don’t have to try so hard to score points with me. I’m not an evaluator.”
“Hmm. Is it that obvious?”
“Yes. Very much so.”
“I’m nervous because a talent from the innovation strategy office suddenly came down.”
He thought he was joking, but Hyun Geun-young, the director, looked serious.
Yoo-hyun quickly put his hand down.
“I didn’t come here to check on that.”
“Then?”
“When Hansung Electronics was in trouble, I thought this place must have suffered a lot too. You did a lot of work with Hansung Electronics, didn’t you?”
“Oh… When the restructuring talk came up?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
Yoo-hyun nodded, and Hyun Geun-young, the director, told him about the past.
“The work was not a big problem. But there were quite a few people who quit.”
“Really?”
“There was a rumor that they wouldn’t get their severance pay. Even if I told them to trust me and try, their hearts weren’t the same as mine.”
“I guess so.”
“Well, we were better off than others. The grievance handling team also responded actively. And…”
Hyun Geun-young, the director, described the memories of the stormy days in detail.
Yoo-hyun felt something as he listened.
‘They’ve definitely become stronger.’
Yoo-hyun didn’t have to help them, they could overcome it on their own. The internal system was well established.
It was thanks to the internal innovation that permeated the organization.
How could they change so much in such a short time?
He found the answer to that question in the employees’ reactions.
“When the restructuring talk came up, the employees voluntarily stepped up to help. What they did was…”
Yoo-hyun finally realized it as he listened to Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, in the lobby on the first floor.
There were people before the system.
The ones who protected the company without shaking in the crisis were the employees themselves.
-I’ll make them move from below even if they don’t move from above. Thank you for teaching me that, who used to blame the superiors and the environment.
Just like Cha Mi-kyung, the senior, said before.
Kwon Se-jung, the deputy, asked Yoo-hyun, who was walking with a deep thought.
“What are you thinking about?”
“No, nothing. I just remembered someone who said something nice to me before.”
“Who?”
Yoo-hyun was about to answer.
Thud thud thud.
He turned his head at the sound of running and saw Cha Mi-kyung, the senior, standing there.
“Huff. Huff. Manager. Wait a minute.”
Yoo-hyun asked her, who was panting.
“Huh? Cha senior. You weren’t at your seat.”
“I was on my way back from a meeting with the purchasing team. You should have told me sooner.”
“I didn’t know. But why?”
“Here.”
Swish.
Yoo-hyun took the heavy paper bag that Cha Mi-kyung, the senior, handed him.
“What is this?”
“It’s chocolate. I thought it would be nice to share it with your team members.”
“Why…”
“I was so grateful for what you gave me last time.”
Last time?
He did listen to her story, who thought the personnel evaluation system was unreasonable.
He changed it to a more rational one, but since it was a later thing, she wouldn’t know.
Yoo-hyun remembered something in his head.
‘It’s because of the flower pot I sent to the hospital for her mother.’
Yoo-hyun immediately waved his hand.
“I didn’t do anything. I paid for the flower pot from my own budget.”
“That’s not why.”
“Then why?”
“Manager. No, I mean, everyone knows that it was thanks to the efforts of the previous Future Technology TF that we were able to fix the wrong parts of our department.”
Fidget.
Both Kwon Se-jung and Yoo-hyun felt awkward as their eyes met.
Cha Mi-kyung, the senior staff, greeted them brightly without hesitation.
“Thank you so much. It’s a pleasure to work here thanks to you.”
“…”
Yoo-hyun’s mouth was shut for a moment by the tingling feeling in his chest.
Soon, he replied with a joyful smile.
“Then, enjoy your meal.”
As soon as they stepped out of the building, Kwon Se-jung shouted loudly into the air.
“Ha. It’s so rewarding.”
“Kid. You look happy.”
“Of course. Everyone is happy because of what we changed. What could be better than this?”
As he looked at his smiling colleague, he remembered an old memory that he had forgotten.
-Yoo-hyun. Don’t you know how many people will suffer from your selfish decision? Is that the company you want, where you step on everyone and take everything for yourself?
He thought he had gotten rid of it, but it seemed that there was still some scab left.
Yoo-hyun chuckled and asked Kwon Se-jung.
“How is it? Is this the company you wanted?”
“Well. It seems like it.”
“I’m glad.”
“What do you mean, glad?”
“Just. I hope we can work well together in the future.”
“Funny guy. Why? Are you feeling nervous now that you’re leaving?”
Kwon Se-jung poked Yoo-hyun’s side and Yoo-hyun reached out his hand.
“Fine. How about we shake hands for that?”
“Kid. You’re acting weird today.”
“Just. Take it.”
Squeeze.
A warm energy passed through their palms, and they flashed back to the many memories they had shared.
The best thing he had done since he came back.
‘I met you again, Se-jung.’
Unlike Yoo-hyun, who was immersed in his feelings, Kwon Se-jung grimaced.
“Ow. Ow. That hurts.”
“Oh. Sorry.”
“This kid. Pretending to be strong for nothing… Ah. You were the champion’s teacher.”
Kwon Se-jung shook his hand and grumbled.
“What are you talking about?”
Yoo-hyun shrugged at his ridiculous appearance.
The agenda for the temporary shareholders’ meeting that day was processed quickly.
Thanks to Park Young-hoon, the representative, who actively supported Shin Kyung-wook, the vice president.
The result was sensational.
Lim Hyuk-soo, the vice chairman, helped to select the temporary representative of Hansung Co., Ltd.
He revealed the handwritten document left by Shin Hyun-ho, the chairman, and put an end to the controversy over the successor.
Yoo-hyun smiled when he heard the news.
“It could have been a fight with an unknown outcome.”
It was as he had said to himself.
It was a bluff when he said he had a chance to win against Shin Kyung-soo in a head-on battle.
No matter how much he prepared, he thought he would lose if he fought.
So he provoked Shin Kyung-soo, but when he saw the card that Shin Hyun-ho, the chairman, had hidden, it seemed like he might have had a chance.
‘It must have been a lot of bleeding, though.’
Anyway, Yoo-hyun’s choice was much better.
He wiped out the speculative capital that shook Hansung, and even absorbed Shin Kyung-soo’s stake.
By the way, Shin Kyung-wook, the vice president, who had been buying stocks from time to time, also increased his stake.
The good news was not over.
The day after the temporary shareholders’ meeting, another welcome news came out.
Some said it was a miracle.
The storm that had blown had passed, and everything was returning to normal.
A few days later.
Yoo-hyun stopped by the comic cafe near Hansung Tower for the first time in a long time.
As usual, he met Shin Kyung-wook, the representative.
He lifted the corners of his mouth as he looked at the meal on the table.
“Now, two fried eggs with kimchi fried rice are standard here.”
“Of course. If you’re certified as a Hansung Electronics employee, you get two.”
“Really? Is there some kind of event going on?”
“No. It’s just the boss’s heart.”
“If the boss here is…”
Thud.
A coffee cup was placed in front of Yoo-hyun, who was talking.
The employee who handed the same mug to Shin Kyung-wook, the representative, said as if reporting.
“Boss. I made it as you requested, grinding the Kenya AA beans.”
“Thank you.”
Boss?
Shin Kyung-wook gestured to Yoo-hyun, who looked puzzled.
“Try it. It’s made with a new espresso machine that I brought in, so it should taste better.”
“Thank you. But when did you become the boss here?”
“Didn’t I tell you? I bought this place.”
“Oh…”
“I thought it would be nice to have a leisure space like this for the employees. I’m thinking of using the entertainment facilities on the first floor of this building and the billiard room on the third floor for the employees as well.”
Shin Kyung-wook shrugged as if it was nothing.
He was a chaebol after all.
Yoo-hyun smiled at the employee welfare that was full of his taste.
“That’s a great idea.”
“I’m glad to hear your praise, our major shareholder.”
“…”
“Did I say something too sudden?”
Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes and calmed his mind before answering.
“No. When did you find out?”
“Not long ago. I wanted to greet you sooner, but I needed some time to get over the shock.”
“What shock? Nothing has changed.”
“Not really. From my point of view, you’re someone I have to impress a lot.”
He said one thing and did another.
Yoo-hyun chuckled.
“So you called me to the comic cafe?”
“Yes. This seat is reserved for you. And these beans are for you only.”
“Of course. It was worth investing.”
“I’m glad you’re satisfied. I’ll have to work harder.”
“Of course. You have to work hard. You still have a long way to go.”
The barrier-free conversation showed how close the two were.
