Chapter 271:
Chapter 271
Yoo-hyun recalled the message he had received from Nam Jong Boo yesterday.
-Somepany employee asked me to lend him some thugs. He said he wanted to beat you up. I know this is another trap you set up.
Yoo-hyun had called Nam Jong Boo and learned the absurd situation that had happened.
Last night, when Yoo-hyun had ignored countless calls from Lee Tae Ryong, the director.
Cornered, Lee Tae Ryong had lost his mind and sought out Nam Jong Boo.
He even had the audacity to ask him for a favor.
From Nam Jong Boo’s perspective, it was like a paper owner asking for a favor from a paper tiger.
Nam Jong Boo was not the type to let that slide.
-So I beat him up. I’ll show you the evidence photos. Don’t provoke me with such tricks. Got it?
As he growled on the phone, Nam Jong Boo had used his bodyguards to beat up Lee Tae Ryong mercilessly.
He even sent Yoo-hyun the evidence photos as if he was proud of it.
Yoo-hyun was thinking of Lee Tae Ryong’s swollen face when Lee Jin Mok, the team leader, spoke.
“Anyway, he’s in the hospital now. They say everyone in Team 3 has to go visit him.”
“Did he get hurt that badly? Do we have to visit him?”
“I don’t know. I heard he’s very strict about attendance.”
“Really?”
Yoo-hyun asked and Lee Jin Mok nodded.
“Yeah. So I guess all the staff in charge of Team 3 arepeting to go first.”
“That’s unfortunate.”
Yoo-hyun casually expressed his feelings and Lee Jin Mok asked curiously.
“Why is that?”
“Nothing.”
“Kid, you’re weird today.”
Lee Jin Mok shook his head and returned to his seat.
Yoo-hyun felt sorry for not Lee Tae Ryong, but the staff who had to visit him during work hours.
Why?
Because they would soon find out that they had wasted their time.
That day, as the end of work approached, a huge rumor swept through the Ulsan factory.
While Yoo-hyun was going to the bathroom, he heard whispers from all directions.
“Lee Tae Ryong messed up big time in the home appliance division…”
“He took a lot of bribes from the suppliers, right?”
“They say he leaked secrets to a Japanesepany too.”
They were all talking about Lee Tae Ryong.
There was no reason for such a big rumor to circte about someone who had just joined the LCD division.
It was as if someone had deliberately spread it.
It wasn’t just bad rumors either.
Inside the bathroom, among the snickers of the crowd, Lee Tae Ryong’s current situation was revealed.
“The ethicsmittee went to the hospital right away after hearing about Lee Tae Ryong.”
“Wow. Already? They came out as soon as the rumor spread.”
“Yeah. That means there’s something worse than the rumor.”
People who had nothing to do with Lee Tae Ryongmented his fate.
“Lee Tae Ryong is done for.”
“He got beaten up by thugs and punished by the ethicsmittee. He’s pretty unlucky.”
“What can you do? He brought it upon himself, right?”
Others’ stories were always light-hearted.
This was Lee Tae Ryong’s end.
It was more miserable than hisst time, but it didn’t make much difference in the end.
He lost everything he had built up in one breath.
And it was by the Han Kyung Hwe members he had followed so eagerly.
No one but Yoo-hyun knew the behind-the-scenes story.
Swoosh.
Yoo-hyun washed his hands with a grim expression on his face at the sink.
He used a lot of water, but he still felt uneasy.
It was the same when he wiped it with a tissue.
Yoo-hyun faced himself in the mirror.
His eyes looked like he knew why.
“It’s just one guy I finished off.”
A very small murmur came out of Yoo-hyun’s mouth that no one could hear.
At that moment, on the 18th floor of Han Sung Tower, in the office of the home appliance division director.
Some of the core members of Han Kyung Hwe were gathered there.
A man with small sses spoke to Shin Chun Shik, the vice president who was sitting in the seat of honor.
“Vice president, we’ve taken care of Lee Tae Ryong cleanly.”
“Good. There won’t be any troubleter, right?”
“No. He didn’t have anything to say since Danaka was involved too.”
“Woo executive director, how did Lim Jun Pyo react?”
“He fired Lee Tae Ryong as soon as he heard the rumor.”
Woo Chang Bum, the executive director with small sses, answered quickly and Shin Chun Shik tilted his head.
“That’s surprising. That softie…”
“Maybe he felt guilty for leaking information.”
“I guess so.”
Shin Chun Shik nodded his head when it happened.
A man with snow-white hairbed neatly to the side spoke.
“Vice president, we need to pay attention to the LCD division.”
“Yoon executive director, why do you think so?”
“Lee Tae Ryong is not a weak person. He got excited this time because…”
Yoon Joo Tak, the executive director with snow-white hair, tried to exin, but Shin Chun Shik’s expression hardened.
“Don’t bring up that trash talk.”
“Yes. I understand.”
Yoon Joo Tak’s heart sank and he clenched his eyes.
But his expression still showed doubt.
While Han Kyung Hwe was meeting, there was movement on the other side of the globe.
In the strategic marketing office of Han Sung Center’s American branch in the United States.
There, Shin Kyung Wook, the director, was on the phone.
-Lee Tae Ryong’s case is…
Yeo Tae Shik, the executive director, exined the situation involving Lee Tae Ryong and others.
“You’ve done a great job, Yeo executive director.”
-No. It was all ording to Yoo-hyun’s n.
“I can’t believe it.”
-Me neither. I didn’t expect things to go this smoothly.
Shin Kyung Wook was as surprised as Yeo Tae Shik.
The result Yoo-hyun had made was more than he had expected.
Praise came out of Shin Kyung Wook’s mouth naturally.
“He’s amazing. What’s his next n?”
-Shin director said he has something better in mind.
“Haha. I’m already having a headache because of that.
Shin Kyung Wook, the director,ughed heartily and exchanged a few more words before hanging up the phone.
In front of him was an email from Yoo-hyun.
He read the contents carefully and chuckled.
“Yoo-hyun, what do you want from me?”
The hot rumor about Lee Tae Ryong quickly died down as if nothing had happened.
The person in question was nowhere to be seen, and his office waspletely empty.
There was no one who cared enough about his story in such a situation.
Everyone just shrugged it off.
There was one person who was in a vague position.
It was the secretary of Team 3.
She had nothing to do and was bored, so she sent a message to Ju Yoon Ha, the secretary of Team 4.
-Sis, I’m so bored. I have no work at all.
-Take a break. Ko Jun Ho director will being soon.
-What? Really? What do I do? He’s so scary.
-He’s been busy with the Apple demotely, so he’s a bit better.
It was as Ju Yoon Ha had said.
Not long after, Ko Jun Ho director took over Team 3 as well.
Team 3 also had a lot of work piled up.
He received reports from the team leaders of Team 3 and snapped.
“Damn. Lee Tae Ryong, this bastard, did such a poor job.”
“We’ll sort it out right away.”
Ham Jong Gil, the senior team leader of Circuit Team 3, answered when Ko Jun Ho director shook his head.
“That’s enough. From today on, report to me every evening at 8 o’clock.”
“…Yes. I understand.”
“I have to clear the obstacles before the next persones.”
“…”
The team leaders shuddered at Ko Jun Ho director’s muttering.
They knew they had opened the gates of hell.
Ko Jun Ho director taking over Team 3 had a positive effect on the prototype team.
Lee Jin Mok, the team leader who was touching the mockup in the inspection room, sighed with relief.
“I feel sorry for Team 3, but it’s so nice not to see him.”
“Why? He didn’t say anything to you, did he?”
Yoo-hyun asked and he shook his head.
“He’s just very oppressive just by being there. You wouldn’t know, Yoo-hyun.”
“I feel oppressed too.”
Then Jung In Wook, the manager, popped his head between them.
“You’re still talking nonsense.”
“Why is that nonsense?”
“How can such a guy care about the Apple demo when he goes to reserve training?”
Jung In Wook asked and Yoo-hyun answered firmly.
“If I postpone it now, it will be overnight training. Of course I have to go.”
“The situation is desperate.”
“You guys are doing fine without me. I haven’t done anything these days.”
“We need you in our team.”
Yoo-hyun replied to Jung In Wook’s insistence and looked him in the eye.
“Then I’ll move my seat. Right next to you, Manager Jung.”
“You don’t listen to a word I say. Go ahead. And don’te back.”
Jung In Wook panicked when Maeng Ki Yong, the senior engineer, joined in with a smile.
“Yoo-hyun, I’ll switch seats with you.”
“Thank you. I’ll move right away.”
Yoo-hyun answered and Jung In Wook pped his forehead while the staff in the inspection roomughed.
“Ugh.”
“Hahaha.”
The atmosphere was definitely livelier than before.
“Sigh. This guy…”
On the other hand, Jung In Wook’s sigh deepened.
A few dayster, Lim Jun Pyo, the vice president, visited Ulsan Factory 4 in the morning.
It was when Ko Jun Ho director had finished his report in the office of Team 4.
Lim Jun Pyo asked casually.
“How is Yoo-hyun doing?”
“Yes. Of course. He’s been very helpful in this project too…”
“Good. You’re taking good care of him.”
“Thank you.”
Ko Jun Ho director blushed at Lim Jun Pyo’s unexpectedpliment.
He had scored a big point with an appropriate exnation.
Then Lim Jun Pyo casually said what he wanted.
“I want to see him once.”
“I’ll contact him right away.”
Ko Jun Ho director spat out an excited voice and picked up his phone.
A momentter, his face twisted.
He came back to his seat and cautiously said.
“Well, vice president, actually…”
“Reserve training? Huh. At this crucial time…”
“It’s only three days ofmuting. Should I tell him toe back now?”
Lim Jun Pyo shook his head at Ko Jun Ho director’s question.
“No. I was going toe down again anyway.”
“Yes. I’ll take care of it next time.”
Lim Jun Pyo wasing down again to meet a mere employee?
That meant he had a huge power behind him.
Ko Jun Ho director smiled inwardly, seizing the opportunity.
At that moment.
Yoo-hyun was on a small mountain behind Ulsan Factory 2.
There were a lot of men in military uniforms in this ce, which was a training ground for reservists.
They wore the same uniform, but they looked different.
Some had their shirts tucked in their waist and showed their skin, some had one leg up to their knee, and some had their helmets upside down on their messy hair.
There were all kinds of people.
“Please wear yourbat uniform and helmet properly.”
The instructors who shouted loudly at the entrance looked pitiful.
