Real Man

Yoo-hyun repeated the same words he had said before to Park Doo-sik, the manager who was already prepared.

“It’s a strategy to shake them up since they can’t get any information out of us. Now we have to give them a proper blow.”

-That’s why Vice President Yeo went to Russia.

“Yes, I heard. The real war is about to begin.”

-Right. Let’s see how useful the backup scenario of Manager Han is.

Park Doo-sik’s words were received humorously by Yoo-hyun.

“The actors are doing so well that I think we’ll get ten million viewers.”

-Haha. We should at least get an Academy Award then.

The call ended with Park Doo-sik’s hearty laughter.

“An Academy Award…”

The acquisition of Shinwa Semiconductor was handled by Manager Park Seung-woo, the blocking of SG Bio’s acquisition was done by Manager Park Doo-sik, and the counterattack against the Group Strategy Office was led by Vice President Yeo Tae-sik.

In the middle of this, Vice President Shin Kyung-wook played the role of a face-maker, and Yoo-hyun coordinated the whole thing.

Of course, it was not an easy task.

But if they each did their roles properly?

Even if they didn’t get an Academy Award, they would be able to achieve a great result that was comparable to it.

That meant the downfall of Manager Lee Joon-il, who was leading everything.

‘Maybe he’s already shaken.’

Squeak.

Yoo-hyun smiled at the corner of his mouth as he stepped into the building.

There were colleagues who were preparing for the next step after Lee Joon-il’s downfall in this Yeouido Center.

At that moment, as Yoo-hyun predicted, Lee Joon-il’s face was shadowed.

He spat out a bitter voice as he looked at the article on the monitor.

“How the hell did this happen?”

“I didn’t expect Vice President Shin to show up at all. I’m sorry.”

As Manager Wi Soo-hyuk bowed his head, Lee Joon-il suppressed his anger and said.

“You should have done something when he showed up. I told you clearly on the phone.”

“They were already prepared by the Innovation Strategy Office.”

“How did our operation leak out? Does that make sense?”

“That’s…”

Manager Wi Soo-hyuk had nothing to say about this.

The preparation was perfect, and there was no sign from the other side.

Nibble.

Lee Joon-il, who was biting his thumbnail, muttered to himself.

“That’s it.”

He had no choice but to manipulate the data at this level of error.

He decided to raise the level of Vice President Shin by two steps, as if he had hardened his resolve.

Thud.

“Did you hear anything from Congressman Heo Jeong-ro?”

“We’re approaching him through the communication manager. I’ll check right away.”

“Okay. Let’s see if they can stop this too.”

Lee Joon-il’s eyes shone sharply.

Clank.

Yoo-hyun, who opened the door of the 11th floor office, blinked his eyes.

“What is this?”

It was because of the unfamiliar scenery that unfolded before his eyes.

The office he had seen just a few days ago was nowhere to be found.

More than the changed interior, the appearance of his colleagues who had arrived earlier was strange.

Kwon Se-jung, the assistant manager, was arranging the chairs, and Jang Joon-sik was wiping the desk.

They seemed to have been working since early, judging by their rolled-up sleeves.

And there was one more person added here.

Vroom.

Jung Hyun-woo, who was running a large vacuum cleaner, raised his hand as he saw Yoo-hyun.

“Brother. Good morning.”

“Good morning. But what is all this?”

As Yoo-hyun looked around and asked, Kwon Se-jung, who was peeling off the vinyl from the chair, gestured toward Jung Hyun-woo.

“What do you mean? He started working as soon as he came.”

“He must have cleaned up yesterday. Did he change the desk on purpose?”

“Yes. There were some extra desks assigned to the mobile business division. They are much better than the existing straight desks.”

The desk that Jung Hyun-woo mentioned was shaped like a letter G, and the front and back widths were much wider than the existing ones.

More importantly, he liked the fact that there were cabinets and closets attached to the side.

“It’s definitely better. It looks like it would be easier to concentrate.”

As Yoo-hyun agreed right away, Jung Hyun-woo smiled and gestured to the table.

“Of course. It’s a product that everyone who used it praised. Please sit down.”

“Are you done with the cleaning?”

“Yes. I just finished. Se-jung hyung, Joon-sik, you guys worked hard.”

“Yeah. You made us work hard since early morning. My legs are still trembling.”

Kwon Se-jung groaned as if he was tired, but Jung Hyun-woo responded calmly.

“I had to work late yesterday. Sit down. I’ll make you some iced coffee.”

“I’ll do it.”

“No, no. This is my specialty.”

Jung Hyun-woo made coffee for Jang Joon-sik as well, after making him sit down.

Meanwhile, Yoo-hyun, who sat down at the table chair, looked around again.

It wasn’t just the desk and chair that changed.

The TV on the conference table was bigger in size, and there were LAN cables and electric outlets under the conference table.

Also, a space surrounded by partitions was created in the corner.

There was a small table and a comfortable chair in that place, which felt like a counseling room.

-Brother, I saw the office picture, can I change the interior layout when I go up there? I know the people who are working there and the management team members.

Yoo-hyun didn’t take Jung Hyun-woo’s words seriously on the phone.

But what the hell?

He changed the empty space like a conference room into a well-organized office in just one day.

It was easy to say, but this process was not smooth at all.

Yoo-hyun chuckled as he put his bag on the empty desk.

“Did you run hard this morning?”

“Yeah. I was dying anyway, but Hyun-woo made me clean up too.”

Kwon Se-jung grumbled, but Jung Hyun-woo answered leisurely.

“I had to work late yesterday. Sit down. I’ll make you some iced coffee.”

“Thank you.”

Jung Hyun-woo handed Yoo-hyun a coffee before he asked.

“Can I tell you why I changed the interior of the office?”

“Sure. Go ahead.”

“I think the problem with the previous office was…”

Jung Hyun-woo had experienced various work environments of different teams while working in the development planning team.

If Yoo Hyun, who was the president, looked up, Jung Hyun-woo looked down and lived.

He had a good observation skill that could catch even the smallest details.

Yoo Hyun asked him, looking at Jung Hyun-woo who was proud of himself.

“So you made a reception room for external guests, right?”

“Yes. The office was blocked, so one visitor could disturb the whole staff. I also changed the desks for that reason.”

“That’s good. What do the others think?”

“I like it. I think I can focus more than before.”

Jang Jun-sik had to agree, as the office was neatly decorated.

This part was also agreed by Kwon Se-jung, the assistant manager, but his expression was not very bright.

“Well, of course I like it. But it was too sudden, so I was a bit confused.”

“I couldn’t help it because of the schedule. I apologize for pushing it by myself.”

Jung Hyun-woo bowed his head to him, and Kwon Se-jung waved his hand.

“No, what are you talking about? I know you did all the work by yourself yesterday, managing the whole team. Jun-sik and I could work in another floor office thanks to you.”

“Still, I should have told you in advance. Please understand that I didn’t know well.”

“I really didn’t mind, so why are you like that?”

“Thank you for understanding.”

“This is really…”

Kwon Se-jung showed a displeased expression, and Jung Hyun-woo calmly smiled.

He created a positive atmosphere and continued to speak.

“I have something to say not only about the office, but also about our work.”

“Tell me. I’m curious.”

Yoo Hyun nodded his head, and Jung Hyun-woo opened his mouth with a serious expression.

“The work we are doing now…”

He listed the tasks that the future technology TF was doing in a fairly long speech.

He had thought about it in advance, and the content he grasped was quite accurate.

He moved on to the main point with a compliment.

“I think it’s really amazing what we’ve done so far. But are we supposed to handle all this work?”

“What do you mean?”

Jung Hyun-woo gave a concrete example to Yoo Hyun’s question.

“The scope of our work is too broad.”

“Tell me exactly.”

“Each person is handling too many areas, such as purchasing, planning, sales, strategy, technology, etc.”

“We get help from others when we need it. And one person has to manage everything to speed up.”

Kwon Se-jung countered, and Jung Hyun-woo agreed, but gave a different opinion.

He was skilled at pushing the situation while being polite.

“That’s right. We’ve been doing that. But I think it’s a different problem whether we can continue to do that in the future.”

“Of course we have to. We struggled at first, but now we are running smoothly.”

“Yes. That’s because you did a great job. But what if you get sick? Or what if another problem comes up?”

“Then Jun-sik will…”

“Se-jung, wait a minute. Let’s hear Hyun-woo out.”

Yoo Hyun stopped Kwon Se-jung and asked Jung Hyun-woo.

“Do you have something in mind?”

“I think we should divide a significant part of our work to other teams. That way, we can have collaboration departments ready, and it will be easier to deal with problems later.”

“Hmm.”

Was it because he had seen the collaboration of various departments in the development planning team?

Jung Hyun-woo’s words contained the essence of the large company system.

Yoo Hyun, who was thinking for a while, turned his back and Kwon Se-jung muttered as if to excuse himself.

“We are the ones who take the initiative to make other teams follow us.”

“I think we should not only give them work, but also give them authority.”

“Then what do we do?”

“We have to look further. We have to find other customers besides Google, and we have to make new plans for the advance team to work on. This was in the report you made.”

“That’s true, but the reality is… Yoo Hyun, what do you think?”

Kwon Se-jung, who ran out of words, glanced at Yoo Hyun and he chuckled and made a conclusion.

“He’s right. It might be a good idea to change it this time.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. Hyun-woo, can you sort out the related departments?”

Jung Hyun-woo gladly answered Yoo Hyun’s question.

“Of course. I may not have the work skills like you or Jun-sik, but I’m good at coordinating the department work.”

“You have no skills. From the office to the organization, you know everything.”

“That’s right. I learned a lot from watching Hyun-woo senior.”

Jang Jun-sik followed Kwon Se-jung and praised him, and Jung Hyun-woo shook his head.

“It’s my role to support you. But I want to change a bit now.”

“What do you want to change?”

“I want to do the work of making products that didn’t exist before, like you or Jun-sik. Please teach me that work.”

It was the moment when Jung Hyun-woo leaned forward.

Kwon Se-jung was startled by the unexpected response.

“What the hell are you talking about? Do you think I can teach you?”

“You don’t have to teach me if you’re busy. I’ll learn by myself. I’m good at that.”

“This is really.”

“I’ll make you coffee every day.”

Kwon Se-jung was embarrassed by Jung Hyun-woo who came closer without hesitation.

He glanced at Yoo Hyun and whispered.

“Yoo Hyun, he makes people feel awkward.”

“Are you going to listen to him or not?”

“Ha ha. That’s right. I have no strength to say anything now.”

Kwon Se-jung, who was dragged by Jung Hyun-woo, ran from early morning to cleaning.

Now his work direction changed, but strangely he didn’t feel bad.

Rather, he laughed emptily.

Jung Hyun-woo came to him with a smile.

“Brother, then let’s run longer tomorrow morning.”

“I don’t want to do that.”

“I’ll make you do it. I’m good at that too.”

Jung Hyun-woo squinted his eyes, and Kwon Se-jung sighed heavily as if he gave up.

“This kid is really. Sigh.”

“Ha ha ha ha.”

“Ha ha ha ha.”

Jang Jun-sik, who rarely laughed, shook his shoulders hard, and Yoo Hyun also laughed along.

Finally, the future technology TF started to work well.
