Real Man-Chapter 758
Park Young-hoon was dumbfounded by Yoo-hyun’s words.
“You said you would start quietly, but you bought this building first?”
“I haven’t stamped the acquisition yet.”
“It’s the same as done if you put it up for auction. Why are you so greedy for buildings?”
“I thought it would be nice if we all gathered together.”
When Yoo-hyun casually revealed his intention, Park Young-hoon’s eyes widened.
“Wow, really? Do we have a place to move to?”
“Just wait a little. I’ll give one floor each to Double Y and Mirinae Securities when there’s a vacancy.”
Maybe it was because they needed to expand their headquarters anyway.
Park Young-hoon was very pleased.
“As expected. Yoo-hyun, you had a plan all along.”
“That’s an exaggeration. By the way, you’re paying for dinner.”
“Dinner? I’ll do more than that. I’ll teach you the know-how of being a CEO as a token of gratitude.”
“What know-how?”
“Being a rookie CEO is not easy. Especially when new employees come for the first time, you have to establish your authority as a CEO…”
Park Young-hoon enthusiastically reminisced about his ups and downs at Double Y.
‘He was so careful when he got the investment.’
There were some embellished parts, but Yoo-hyun just listened quietly.
Everyone wants to be recognized.
The next day, the move to the Reverb office began.
They checked the electricity, water, and internet, and refurbished the interior.
The empty office was filled with desks, chairs, computers, printers, and other office supplies.
The furniture and electronics company staff were setting them up.
The Double Y employees were busy moving around.
“I think we should move the desk a little bit.”
“I’ll take care of the cleaning supplies in the bathroom.”
“Waiting, we need to put a logo on the entrance door too.”
“Silent, please set up the computer quickly.”
“Yes, manager.”
Buzzing.
Yoo-hyun looked at Nadoha, who was giving directions here and there, with disbelief.
“Why are you overdoing it? It’s already done.”
“We have to pretend to work to get some noodles.”
“What?”
“Director, we’re doing our best.”
Yoo-hyun immediately complimented Go Eun-byul, who was sticking a sheet on the wall.
She had helped him a lot.
“Silverstar, I know your contribution very well. Thanks to you, the Reverb website design was done very well.”
“Hyung, I made the web.”
Nadoha raised his hand abruptly, and Choi Daegi quietly chimed in.
“Director, I worked on the internal algorithm.”
“Don’t you forget that I’m managing the server?”
The others also looked at Yoo-hyun.
There was no one who didn’t help with the birth of Reverb.
Thanks to their excellent support, Yoo-hyun was able to focus entirely on the service.
Even though he paid them well enough, he was grateful.
Yoo-hyun said loudly.
“Great! Let’s go for a beef full course for today’s meal!”
“Wow!”
The employees who helped him were very happy.
It started with lunch, but by the time they ate and played, the sun was setting.
Yoo-hyun sent the Double Y employees away and returned to the 20th floor office.
Beep.
When he opened the door and entered, he saw a neatly arranged scenery.
The interior was so good that it felt luxurious.
In the corner of the office, Yoon Bomi was concentrating with her earphones on.
Thud.
When Yoo-hyun put a drink on the desk, Yoon Bomi was startled.
“Oh! Director, you didn’t leave?”
“I came to check if the office was well organized.”
“You were worried because I came up first, right?”
“Did you notice?”
“I can tell by the fact that you bought a drink. I sneaked out because I thought you would do this…”
Creak.
Yoo-hyun pulled a chair and sat down, facing her who was mumbling.
“If you’re going to leave first, just go. Why did you come here?”
“Um… I have a lot of ads to sort out on the site.”
“Cleanbot can catch most of them automatically.”
“Recently, there are a lot of people who post clever viral ads. We have to block them in advance to increase the site’s credibility.”
It was true, but there was no need to do it now.
Yoo-hyun looked at the shiny nameplates on her desk.
-Gong Hyun-joon, Won Gi-joon, Lee Ji-hyun, Jang Man-bok.
Even though the employees hadn’t stamped the contracts yet, Yoon Bomi had prepared the nameplates in advance.
Yoo-hyun guessed her feelings.
“Are you nervous about the new employees coming?”
“Nervous… Honestly, yes. This is my first time doing this.”
“You’ve hired a lot of new people at Double Y.”
“That was when I was an accountant, and now I have to be a senior officially. You trusted me and gave me a chance, but I don’t want to disappoint you.”
She was very excited during the interview, but when it became reality, she seemed scared.
Yoo-hyun understood her feelings well.
“What’s there to disappoint? You did well and that’s why I hired you.”
“What do I do so well?”
“You did everything from the ad copy to the internal community management in the beginning.”
“Ah, that was just my hobby. The manager did everything that was actually made.”
“That’s the skill of planning. Should I praise you more?”
Yoo-hyun grinned, and Yoon Bomi waved her hand.
“No, no. I hate being embarrassed.”
“Hey, you seem to be whining on purpose to get recognized.”
“Does it show?”
“A little bit?”
“That won’t do. Yoon Whiny will only do it until today. From tomorrow, I’ll be Yoon Not-Whiny. Go, go!”
She shook her fist that she clenched suddenly, and Yoo-hyun was amazed.
“Geez, I’m looking forward to it.”
“Hahaha!”
Yoon Bomi chuckled at his expression.
Ding dong.
Then, the bell rang through the speaker at the entrance.
“Huh? Do you have someone coming?”
“No.”
“Wait a minute. I’ll go check it out.”
Yoon Bomi ran out and didn’t come back for a while.
He wondered what she was doing and went to see. She was receiving something at the entrance.
She signed the receipt and said with a nervous expression.
“Director, we got a lot of gifts.”
“This is…”
Yoo-hyun was embarrassed by the phrase on the large flower pot.
-Congratulations on the official start of Reverb. President Shin Kyung-wook of Hansung.
He knew that Yoo-hyun had moved in, but he must not have known the size of the office.
“The flower pot is too big and there are too many flowers, so I left them outside for now.”
“You did well.”
“But who wrote the phrase ‘President of Hansung’? Did Director Park play a prank?”
“I don’t know.”
Yoon Bomi couldn’t figure it out at all. The existence of President Shin Kyung-wook was unreal.
Swoosh swoosh.
The people from other companies passing by the hallway also commented on the phrase.
“Look at that. President of Hansung sent it.”
“Isn’t that too over the top?”
“Ha ha ha! Why don’t they just say the president?”
As Yoo-hyun thought he should remove the phrase on the flower pot, Yoon Bomi opened the box that came with it.
Her eyes sparkled when she opened the box.
“Wow! These are all Hansung laptops. What’s going on?”
“…”
He thought he should contact President Shin Kyung-wook.
The weekend passed and Monday came.
According to the office preparation, messages were sent to the interviewees who passed.
-Reverb Interview Bot: Gong Hyun-joon, welcome to the company. Gwanghwamun Building 12th floor, orientation at 9 a.m.
Gong Hyun-joon checked the With messenger and got on the way to work.
The dress code was flexible, but he wore a suit out of habit.
He heard the sound of his shoes in his ears as he dressed up for the first time in a long time.
Thump thump.
The words of his cousin he met a while ago flashed through his mind.
-Dude. Is it just me? Look at the other guys. They’re all at least in big companies. If you quit Hansung, you should have taken the patent attorney exam to the end. Why do you want to join a hole-in-the-wall company?
It was an annoying memory, but he decided not to care anymore.
Instead, he tied the tie that his mother gave him with a smile.
That was enough.
‘So what. It’s a small company. As long as I’m happy.’
He hadn’t stamped the employment contract yet, but he thought it was worth a try.
He decided not to compare himself with others and walked into the Future Tower with confidence.
But his mind was shaken as soon as he entered the elevator.
‘Pro gamer, fat actor, restless…’
He felt prejudice that he didn’t have before when he saw the three people.
What criteria did they use to select them?
“…”
The elevator was silent.
The orientation was planned to be led by Yoo-hyun and Yoon Bomi.
While Yoo-hyun proceeded with the contracts individually, Yoon Bomi agreed to talk with the remaining employees about the overall company life.
Yoon Bomi asked after hearing Yoo-hyun’s explanation.
“Do I just have to make it easy for them?”
“Yes. Just explain briefly. The important thing is to summarize it when everyone gathers after the contract is over.”
“Okay. But what if they say they don’t want to sign?”
“Why? You were confident, weren’t you?”
“I was, but the atmosphere of the people seemed bad.”
“What was wrong?”
Yoo-hyun asked, and Yoon Bomi told him the scene she saw in the conference room earlier.
“How do I put it, they were sitting quietly without saying a word to each other. If they shared their Reverb IDs, they would have a lot to talk about…”
“They must be nervous about signing the contract. Even though the conditions are good, our company is a small company, right?”
“Still. I don’t know about the others, but I thought Jang Man-bok would be very cheerful.”
“No?”
“No. His expression looked the heaviest.”
Yoon Bomi was puzzled.
Yoo-hyun decided to meet Jang Man-bok first.
The large figure of Jang Man-bok entered the director’s office.
After greeting him, he sat on the sofa and hesitated in front of the contract that Yoo-hyun handed him.
The words he heard from his wife on the way to work flashed through his mind.
-Honey. If you work at a company, you have to quit acting completely. Won’t you regret it? It’s okay if it’s because of me, don’t force yourself. I want you to be happy.
Was it because his first step to work was heavy?
Or did he notice that he was smiling hard?
He had gotten the job he wanted, but his wife told him to think again.
Looking back, his wife always lived for him.
She never complained even though she did hard work for him, who was not well-off.
Rather, she smiled brightly and said that she liked it when her husband ate well.
She was very grateful even when he made her tteokbokki.
‘I didn’t do anything good for her.’
A nameless actor for 10 years.
He still had the passion for acting, but now he had to compromise with reality.
Jang Man-bok bit his lips slightly.
Yoo-hyun, who was silent, gestured.
“Why don’t you check the contract first?”
“Huh? Oh, yes. Actually, I heard this part before…”
“That was the information we gave to the applicants. It’s a little different now.”
“I see.”
Swoosh.
There was a sheet of paper on the contract that briefly summarized the various benefits.
