Chapter 161:
Chapter 161
During the interview, Deputy Manager Kim Hyun-min showed a strong reaction.
“No, how can Ilsung do such a despicable thing? Isn’t that right?”
“They are like that.”
“Ha ha! I knew you would understand me, reporter.”
He was a bit outspoken, but the overall atmosphere was smooth.
Reporter Oh Eun-bi also asked about something she was curious about personally.
It was a question about Laura Parker, whom she didn’t hear from Yoo-hyun.
She deliberately added some spective opinions.
“I heard that Laura Parker mentioned the color phone in the interview because of your request, Yoo-hyun?”
“What? Yoo-hyun, did you ask her to do that?”
Deputy Manager Kim Hyun-min asked and Yoo-hyun shook his head.
“No. There’s no way I would do that.”
“Of course. There’s no way. Reporter, he’s so handsome and smart that he’s close with Laura Parker, but…”
Deputy Manager Kim Hyun-min nodded and then Park Seung-woo suddenly interjected.
“He’s my mentee.”
“You’re too fast. Anyway, he says he’s not. There’s no reason for him to do that. Right?”
“Yes.”
Deputy Manager Kim Hyun-min said as if to confirm, and Yoo-hyun smiled and nodded.
To Reporter Oh Eun-bi’s eyes, there were some strange points in their conversation.
It was one thing that the part-timers didn’t know, but Yoo-hyun didn’t show any sign of doing well.
Shouldn’t he brag about it if he did something good?
Not only that.
Yoo-hyun never stepped forward during the interview.
He just listened quietly and gave credit to the part-timers.
It seemed to Reporter Oh Eun-bi that he was considerate of the part-timers.
He, the youngest.
It was so unbelievable that it gave her a headache.
Then, Deputy Manager Kim Hyun-min, who had been talking non-stop, said in a serious tone.
“Actually, to tell you the exact history, Yoo-hyun first…”
“Deputy Manager, no. We did it together.”
Yoo-hyun tried to avoid it, but this time it was Chief Choi Min-hee who stepped in.
“When I was struggling because of Hyunil Motors…”
“No. When did I? You did it all, Chief.”
Yoo-hyun escaped again like a mudfish.
But there was another trouble.
Lee Chan-ho, who had a soldier-like posture, gave Yoo-hyun a smile.
“When he made the mock-up, what Yoo-hyun said was…”
“Senior, don’t say that again. You did it, Senior.”
Yoo-hyun waved his hand.
Reporter Oh Eun-bi smiled as she listened quietly.
The seniors also had one mind to praise the youngest.
The junior denied it and pushed the senior.
The seniors pulled him back to the front.
Kim Young-gil said, and Park Seung-woo said.
“You should be praised for doing well.”
“Right. Yoo-hyun, youck that kind of sentiment.”
It was a scene that could not be seen anywhere.
At some point, Reporter Oh Eun-bi just looked at them.
Yoo-hyun looked at the part-timers sitting next to him with wonder.
They had be close while doing the contest together, but there was some distance between them.
They were not friends, but a rtionship with ranks.
But that rtionship changed subtly when they came to the German exhibition.
It wasn’t just because of the alcohol they drank for three days.
They made mistakes, got sick, got annoyed,ughed and talked.
They shared their emotions in real time as they stuck together, and they became close like school seniors and juniors.
Was that why?
It was more like a chat than an interview.
They joked, teased, said mean things, and sometimes got serious.
It was a sight that she couldn’t imagine when she interviewed them before.
The affection that she felt in every word tickled Yoo-hyun’s heart.
He smiled involuntarily.
He liked it so much.
Click.
He wished that this moment would not disappear andst forever, like the picture he just took.
After the interview.
Yoo-hyun, who had sent off the part-timers, approached Reporter Oh Eun-bi.
“Is it a bit noisy?”
“It looked good, didn’t it? And I also thought that Yoo-hyun was really loved.”
“They are very nice people. I owe them a lot.”
“From what I hear, you sound like a senior, Yoo-hyun.”
“No way.”
Senior.
If he looked at it coldly, he was a senior since he worked longer at thepany.
He still had a lot of things he wanted to teach in Yoo-hyun’s eyes.
As he was thinking that, Reporter Oh Eun-bi asked.
“By the way, what is your identity, Yoo-hyun?”
“I’m a Hansung Electronics employee.”
Yoo-hyun’s answer was simple.
He didn’t need to tell her everything, and strictly speaking, it was also true.
If he was a person who had a clear sense of profit and loss, he wouldn’t ask any more.
Yoo-hyun believed that Reporter Oh Eun-bi was at that level.
And he was right.
“I don’t care if you don’t tell me. I’m sure you’re a helpful person, Yoo-hyun. That’s enough, right?”
“Don’t you think you’re more helpful, reporter?”
“Right? I’m useful, right? So pleasee to me a lot. Ho ho.”
And now.
Reporter Oh Eun-bi showed him the minimum that he wanted.
What did that mean?
The time to bet was near.
Yoo-hyun had something he wanted to check with her for thest time.
“Just a moment.”
“Yes. Anytime.”
Yoo-hyun picked up his phone and got up from his seat for that reason.
Meanwhile, Reporter Oh Eun-bi muttered to herself.
“What does identity matter? That’s much better than the president’s connections.”
There was no need to check the calctor.
There was no one else in Korea who could make it so easy for her to interview Laura Parker.
Come to think of it, it was also Yoo-hyun who had made Ilsung Electronics look bad at the exhibition hall.
Thanks to him, she had scored two big articles today.
She was thinking about that when she heard Yoo-hyun’s voice on the phone.
“What? You found the truck that was carrying Ilsung Electronics’rge slim TV?”
Oh Eunbi’s ears perked up.
“Why is that truck parked at Jakseon rest area on the 9th highway? Yes. And…”
She quickly took out her notebook and wrote down almost everything he said.
She swallowed hard and asked Yoo-hyun cautiously after he hung up the phone.
“Is that true?”
“What do you mean? Oh, that. I heard it from someone…”
“Who, who did you hear it from?”
Instead of answering, Yoo-hyun put his index finger on his lips and smiled with his eyes.
“It’s a secret. Well, I have some urgent business to attend to, so I’ll go ahead. It was fun today.”
“Yoo-hyun.”
And then he was gone.
Oh Eunbi stood there nkly.
The man who had called Laura Parker.
The man who had humbled himself in front of his colleagues.
He wouldn’t make such a nonsense.
She didn’t know what kind of information it was, but it was credible.
It had to be.
She snapped out of it and picked up her phone.
Then she shouted in a hurry.
“Kang sunbae, where are you?”
Yoo-hyun walked out of the exhibition hall, recalling a news article that had been in his vague memory.
<Ilsung Electronics’ stolen exhibition TV, found in a rest area in Germany.>
It was 2008.
A year after the present time, he had found out that Ilsung Electronics’rge slim TV, which had been stolen at a European exhibition, had been found.
And not in a special ce, but in an abandoned truck.
What was more surprising was that there were two TVs left in the truck.
In the end, the culprit was never caught and it ended up as a happening. He could remember this absurd news because of the repeated news from Geumwook Daily.
“I was right.”
Last night, Yoo-hyun had essed his faint past memory.
He had borrowed Jang Hyemin’s senior’s rental car and visited the rest area himself.
There he had found a truck that was standing alone in a corner.
Of course, he couldn’t be sure that it was the truck that had carried Ilsung Electronics’ TV.
It was arge size for a quiet rest area, and he had guessed from the fact that it was parked on the outskirts of arge vacant lot.
However, he had gained some confidence when he saw Ilsung Electronics’ business card stuck on the truck’s passenger seat.
What if it wasn’t?
He couldn’t help it.
If Oh Eunbi had moved as Yoo-hyun intended and failed, he would have apologized andpensated her.
Yoo-hyun didn’t want to check the stolen TV.
He wanted to see how actively she moved with such a small clue.
And he was curious how cleverly she solved the homework he had given her.
If she was smart, she would have used the people around her.
And she did.
Yoo-hyun smiled coldly.
Now he was thinking of taking care of the rest.
With not much time left, the scenario would be finalized ording to her decision.
Yoo-hyun stopped by the main booth C on the first floor to check the situation and went out to the hallway.
And he used theputer set up in one corner to check the inte news.
<Germany’s JS, decides to invest heavily in Korea’s LCD equipmentpany DNTech.>
There was no follow-up article to the news he had checked in the morning.
There weren’t manyments either.
Yoo-hyun’s eyes caught the name of the press at the end of the article.
Hanse Ilbo.
A press ssified as a pro-Hanseong faction, and also connected to the ‘Hangolmo’ line.
It was a disadvantage that they were not a majorpany and had weak influence.
And the article they wrote was not that impactful.
That was the definite reason why there was not a singlement.
But not for Yoo-hyun.
Yoo-hyun kept checking the time the article was posted and the progress of the follow-up article.
Through this, he drew the progress and the events that would happen in the future in his head.
Of course, this also included the actions of Lee Kyunghoon, the director.
The most likely time for the follow-up article toe out was tonight.
They would aim for the peak day of the exhibition, as they wanted to get attention.
Then what?
The conclusion would be neat if it was done tomorrow, the day after the news broke.
Yoo-hyun organized his thoughts and walked.
It was when Yoo-hyun passed by the main booth of Hanseong Electronics.
‘Huh?’
A woman with a short-cut style passed by Yoo-hyun with a quick step.
It was a fleeting moment, but her face was clearly visible.
Jeong Dahye?
Was it because he was dazed?
Yoo-hyun’s body moved half a beatte.
When he turned his head, the woman was already gone.
“Hey.”
Yoo-hyun ran forward, breaking through the crowd.
But there was no Jeong Dahye he was looking for.
He quickly turned around, but he couldn’t find her.
Did he see wrong?
No.
He was sure he saw her.
But how likely was it that he would meet her by chance in Germany?
The probability was lower than winning the lottery.
It stopped Yoo-hyun’s thoughts.
It couldn’t be.
He shook his head vigorously.
He seemed to have been too nervous about this job.
His head was dizzy.
“What time is it…”
He barely came to his senses and checked the time.
He still had a lot of things to do to proceed as nned.
At that time.
Jeong Dahye walked through the main exhibition hall with a fast pace.
She had no interest in the shy exhibits.
One of the employees of Cosmo Cosmetics, her clientpany, stopped her.
“Dahye, JS seems to be busy. We’re fine, so just go.”
“Manager, that’s not it. I wouldn’t havee to Germany if that was the case.”
Jeong Dahye came to Germany as thepany’s representative for the client’s consulting.
She was supposed to act as a bridge to learn organic cosmetics technology from JS, a cosmetics specialistpany.
If thepany had no room, they should have told her sooner.
Then she could have arranged anotherpany.
Now they were making excuses?
No matter how much they were the superior, there was a limit.
