Real Man

Chapter 564:

After finishing the groundwork, Deputy Kwon Se-jung played his prepared card at the end of the presentation.

“In conclusion, we can somehow meet the additional schedule and quantity that you requested. However, we need a promise from Hansung Electronics to secure the supply first.”

“Secure the supply?”

Deputy Kwon Se-jung boldly asked back to the question from Director Lee Kwang-seok, who was in charge of the promotion.

“Yes. The semiconductor display is a completely new product, and Hansung Electronics is the only customer.”

“Hmm.”

“It would be a big blow to our company if we can’t sell the promised quantity after investing so much.”

The atmosphere in the conference room stirred up in an instant.

It was understandable, since Hansung Electronics had never promised to secure the supply when buying parts from its affiliates.

This kind of boundary-setting behavior was unpleasant for Hansung Electronics, who was the superior party.

Director Lee Kwang-seok looked at Vice President Hong Il-seop, who was the previous promotion manager, instead of arguing with the presenter.

“Vice President Hong, anyone would think that we are making unreasonable demands.”

“I guess our presenter was worried because it’s a risky project. Please take it as an opinion survey.”

Vice President Hong Il-seop politely answered to Director Lee Kwang-seok, who was his successor but also his superior, and glanced at Vice President Joo Jae-oh.

He remembered what Yoo-hyun had said to him a while ago.

-You need to establish a relationship with Hansung Electronics when the group strategy room is watching. Just give them a hint. The group strategy room will definitely support us.

To be honest, Vice President Hong Il-seop was skeptical of Yoo-hyun’s words.

But he decided to follow him anyway, because it wasn’t a very risky gamble for him.

He could just get out of it by making an excuse that it was a mistake by the young presenter in the worst case scenario.

But what the hell?

“Come on, we’re like family…”

Before Director Lee Kwang-seok could even refute, Vice President Joo Jae-oh gave him an OK sign.

“Just promise us the supply from Electronics.”

“Vice President.”

“Why? Are you not confident about the quantity?”

Vice President Joo Jae-oh smirked, and Director Lee Kwang-seok quickly straightened his posture.

“No, I’m confident.”

“That’s it. Then let’s proceed like that.”

“Yes. I understand.”

With one word from Vice President Joo Jae-oh, everything was decided.

None of the Hansung Electronics executives here could refuse his words.

That’s how powerful Vice President Joo Jae-oh, who was in charge of personnel support at the group strategy room, was.

“…”

Vice President Hong Il-seop blinked his eyes as if he couldn’t believe it.

Yoo-hyun secretly gave him a thumbs up and congratulated him on the successful presentation as he made eye contact with Deputy Kwon Se-jung.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung, who clenched his mouth, pretended to look away.

But he couldn’t hide the deep wrinkles around his eyes.

The supply was the biggest risk factor that Yoo-hyun had set for the semiconductor display business.

The quantity of 10 million units could change depending on the customer’s situation.

Some degree of fluctuation was obviously manageable.

The problem was when the order quantity was too low for some reason.

With the current structure of having only one customer, Hansung Display had to bear all the losses.

It was a bonus that they had to cover the losses of Shinwa Semiconductor as well.

This was the hardest part of being a mid-level parts supplier.

But Deputy Kwon Se-jung’s card of securing the supply changed the situation.

He showed the presence of Hansung Display as he wanted.

Was it because he achieved such a great feat?

He couldn’t stop smiling on his way back after the meeting.

He laughed incredulously as he held the steering wheel.

“How could this happen?”

“What?”

When Yoo-hyun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked, Deputy Kwon Se-jung explained the reason.

“It just feels like everything was resolved too easily.”

“You did a good presentation.”

“No way.”

“Vice President Hong praised you too. You did well.”

His presentation was indeed good.

It was simple and intuitive enough for anyone without a background knowledge to understand.

Thanks to that, Vice President Joo Jae-oh, who wasn’t very interested, was able to grasp some of the content.

If not?

Even if he owed something to Yoo-hyun, he wouldn’t have given him an easy conclusion.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung, who had stayed up for several nights preparing for the presentation, waved his hand in embarrassment.

“Don’t say that again. But do you really think Hansung Electronics will secure the supply?”

“Of course they will. They promised in front of the group strategy room. They have no choice but to do it.”

“What if Google reduces the quantity?”

“Then Hansung Electronics will take care of it. If they don’t want that to happen, they have to work harder.”

“Wow. You’re even bossing around the boss now?”

“What are you talking about? It’s because you did well.”

Yoo-hyun was incredulous, but Deputy Kwon Se-jung didn’t seem to trust him.

After thinking for a while, Deputy Kwon Se-jung brought up a different topic.

“Haha. Forget it. What about Vice President Joo Jae-oh? How was he when he was in the group strategy room?”

“Why?”

“He looks fiery. Just curious.”

“He was fiery then. He will be fiery in the future.”

Yoo-hyun answered briefly and chuckled.

He thought of Vice President Joo Jae-oh, who would be busy behind the scenes from now on.

With his skills, he would soon find a clue about Vice President Yoon Ju-tak’s corruption.

He might even find out that the corruption pierced through the heart of the Royal Family.

What would he choose when he had the detonator of a huge bomb that could blow everyone away in his hand?

Yoo-hyun had arranged the situation so that he had no choice but to press it.

The problem was the forces that would stop him in the process.

‘What if Director Lee Joon-il finds out?’

Yoo-hyun imagined the complicated situation that would unfold later.

Beep.

His phone rang, and the name of the man who would neatly wrap up this part popped up.

It was a message from Nadoha.

-I’ll do the interview. When and where should I go?

Squeak.

Yoo-hyun’s lips curled up in an instant.

Seeing that, Deputy Kwon Se-jung asked with a curious expression.

“What’s so funny?”

“No. Just. Se-jung, I think I need to take a vacation this week.”

“Why are you telling me? Do you need permission from your employee to take a vacation?”

Deputy Kwon Se-jung was dumbfounded, and Yoo-hyun winked at him.

“It means I’m counting on you.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll make it work without you.”

“Thank you. I feel relieved just by hearing that.”

Yoo-hyun smiled brightly and looked at the phone screen again.

Could he reconnect with him?

He was looking forward to meeting Nadoha more than anything else.

A few days later, the day when Yoo-hyun’s expectation came true arrived.

Yoo-hyun, who took a vacation, went to the second floor of the gym building.

As he opened the door and entered, Park Young-hoon, who was already there, greeted him.

“Welcome, President Han.”

“Stop calling me president. I’m not doing anything. What kind of president is that?”

“It’s just a habit. How about outside director?”

“That sounds better. But is the office still not ready?”

Yoo-hyun looked around the empty office and asked, and Park Young-hoon kindly explained.

“The interior work is almost done. The furniture will come in next week. The partition work will be done at the same time.”

“Why do you need partitions when there’s no one else for a while?”

“We have to prepare for the future. We’ll also decorate the bathroom and the conference room as soon as possible.”

“You’ll have plenty of places to go even if you’re alone.”

It was like using the same size as the gym by himself.

Yoo-hyun chuckled, and Park Young-hoon clapped his hands.

“Oh, the president’s office is ready.”

“The president’s office that you were dreaming of?”

“Yeah. Come and see. It’s pretty cool.”

Park Young-hoon dragged Yoo-hyun’s arm with an excited expression.

The president’s office was located inside the office.

He opened the door and entered, and Park Young-hoon proudly showed him around.

“I made it bigger as you said, and the sofa can seat four people…”

The black leather sofa and the wooden desk gave a strong impression of the president’s office.

They were the furniture that Yoo-hyun had helped him choose, but it felt different when he faced them directly.

The most unusual thing was the bookshelf on the wall.

Yoo-hyun looked inside the bookshelf and laughed out loud.

“What? You brought all kinds of foreign language books. Why do you have Russian books?”

“Don’t they look cultured?”

“You should at least unify the categories. They’re all over the place.”

“Haha! Who cares about that in the president’s office? Oh, and look at this too.”

Park Young-hoon lifted up a long nameplate that was on the desk, and Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes.

“You made a nameplate too?”

“Of course, I made the nameplate first.”

Yoo-hyun looked at the nameplate that Park Young-hoon handed him.

On the dark and heavy nameplate, white cursive letters were engraved.

-Double Y President Park Young-hoon.

Yoo-hyun exclaimed involuntarily.

“Wow, the nameplate looks like a CEO of a large company.”

“The manager was surprised when he saw it too.”

“Did the manager come here?”

Park Young-hoon explained the situation to Yoo-hyun, who asked in surprise.

“No, he didn’t. I had the delivery sent to the third floor. I didn’t know it was a nameplate and opened it, and he caught me.”

“Then how did he know you’re the building owner?”

“Ah! That’s a long story.”

Park Young-hoon sighed and sat on the sofa.

Yoo-hyun, who sat across from him, urged him with curiosity.

“What happened?”

“Well, it was like this…”

Park Young-hoon recreated the dynamic situation that had happened.

Yoo-hyun, who was listening, laughed incredulously.

“Are you crazy? Why did you say you would lower the rent if he looked good?”

“He looked so blank, so I joked. But who knew he would explode?”

“He’s the kind of person who makes a fortune even in his sleep. Of course he would. He would even ask you to spar with him.”

“He really did. I thought I was going to die.”

It wasn’t just a whining sound from Park Young-hoon.

Even Yoo-hyun, who had good stamina, would be exhausted if the manager decided to exercise him.

He could imagine the situation clearly, but he said something realistic rather than sympathetic.

“You’re lucky you’re not crippled. You should repent.”

“I already did countless times. He said it was enough. But it’s still awkward.”

“What about the others?”

“They don’t know much yet. Maybe Dong-sik hyung?”

“Then it will spread soon. It’s better to announce it officially before that.”

Yoo-hyun’s advice made Park Young-hoon nod his head.

Then he checked the clock and asked.

“Right. When is your friend coming?”

“He’ll be here soon. He’s not the type to break a promise.”

Yoo-hyun checked the time and answered.

At that moment.

Beep.

His phone rang, and a message from Nadoha came in.

“This guy, he comes right when I say it.”

“Is he here?”

“Yeah. I’ll bring him, so get some coffee ready and wait.”

“Do you give coffee to the interviewee?”

“I told you. He’s like Je Gal-ryang. He’s worth begging for.”

Yoo-hyun summed it up, and Park Young-hoon got up quickly.

It seemed like he realized the reality of a small business owner with no background.

“That’s right. This is not the time for me.”

“Don’t worry and bring him carefully. Hurry up.”

Yoo-hyun laughed at Park Young-hoon, who waved his hand.

How would Park Young-hoon feel when he saw Nadoha?

How would Nadoha act towards Park Young-hoon?

They both had unique aspects, so he couldn’t predict at all.

He just vaguely thought they would get along well.
