Chapter 289
How did he know something that even Go Jun-ho, the senior manager, didn’t know?
Yoo-hyun asked with curiosity.
“How did you know that?”
“He talks a lot when he drinks, the first-in-charge.”
“Ah, I see. That makes sense.”
The first-in-charge had a close connection with the mobile phone business division.
He was in a position to hear enough news from the mobile phone business division.
Ok Jong-ho added an exnation.
“Yesterday, Mr. Im drove the first-in-charge’s car. He told me. He said that the vice presidents seemed to meet today.”
“You really have great information skills.”
“Haha. Seeing youugh in this situation, I guess it’s not that scary?”
“You have a good sense too.”
Yoo-hyun joked, and Ok Jong-ho’s expression became serious.
“I’m d you’re okay, Yoo-hyun, but I don’t think it will be easy.”
“Why do you think so?”
“It looks like a situation where you’re going to get scolded. It’s strange that an employee is involved, though.”
Ok Jong-ho nced at Yoo-hyun.
It was not a joke, he really had a good sense.
He seemed to have several times more political sense than Kim Ho-geol, the chief of staff.
He wanted topIment him, but it was not the right answer.
“Don’t worry. I’m not going to get scolded, I’m going to sort things out.”
“With the vice presidents?”
“Yes. It’s better to block things with a hoe than with a straw.”
Yoo-hyun gave a meaningful smile.
The car carrying the two men sped along the highway.
A few hourster.
A sinister rumor circted in the development center of Sindorim Campus.
People whispered here and there.
“The LCD business manager ising to clean up himself.”
“Wow. It’s because of the incident that Chang-seok did a while ago, right?”
“Yeah. The team leader was furious. He said the researcher learned only weird things.”
“He was greedy to report to the center manager, right?”
“That’s why the LCD side is already ruined.”
One of the men openly attacked Chang-seok.
“If the center manager finds out about this, that kid will eventually…”
“Shh. He’sing.”
Then the man on the opposite side put his index finger on his mouth.
Chang-seok passed by quietly with his head down.
He pretended not to hear, but the people’s murmurs rang in his ears.
What if the development center manager finds out about the data maniption?
He might really get fired then.
He was scared just thinking about it.
He only wanted to smoke a cigarette quickly.
Chang-seok was nkly waiting for the central elevator.
Ding.
The door of the elevator right in front of him opened among several others.
He checked the indicator and saw that it was going up.
Chang-seok hesitated and looked ahead without thinking.
Then he saw a familiar face in the elevator.
Yoo-hyun, who should be in Ulsan, was right there.
“Yoo, Yoo-hyun…”
Chang-seok reached out and tried to talk to him in surprise.
But he couldn’t say anything more.
It was because Im Jun-pyo, the vice president, was next to him.
Yoo-hyun was talking with Im Jun-pyo, the vice president.
Chiiing.
The elevator door closed and hid Yoo-hyun’s side view.
“…”
Chang-seok felt chilly.
Even though their eyes didn’t meet, he felt like Yoo-hyun was choking his neck.
He felt like Yoo-hyun was like a grim reaper to him right now.
For a moment, he remembered what happened at the alumni meeting a while ago.
-Don’t worry. If Chang-seok hyung hits you in the back of your head, I’ll pay you back ten times more.
It was Yoo-hyun’s answer to Choi Seul-gi, who joked at him as an alumnus.
Gulp.
Chang-seok swallowed his saliva and looked up at the elevator indicator.
The elevator stopped at the eighth floor.
It was where Hyun Ki-jung, the vice president of mobile phone business division, had his office.
What if Yoo-hyun tells Hyun Ki-jung everything as it is?
“I’m done…”
Chang-seok copsed on the spot.
The eighth floor of Sindorim Campus had offices for business managers.
And most of the rest of the space was VIP conference rooms.
As a result, the whole floor was quiet.
Yoo-hyun, who was walking with Im Jun-pyo, stopped for a moment.
Then he spoke to Yoo-hyun.
“Are you sure about what you said?”
Im Jun-pyo’s expression was very serious.
Yoo-hyun knew that it would be a big burden for him toe this far, so he didn’t beat around the bush.
He put confidence in his eyes.
“Yes. That’s what I’m going to do.”
“…”
Looking at Yoo-hyun like that, Im Jun-pyo recalled yesterday’s memory.
-I hope you can step in just once.
Last night, he received a direct call from Shin Kyung-wook, the senior manager.
It was more of a burden for Im Jun-pyo to meet Hyun Ki-jung than this phone call.
But he had no choice but to follow him, even though he didn’t have a strong bond with Shin Kyung-wook yet.
He said to Yoo-hyun.
“You have to say it yourself when you go in.”
“Thank you for being with me. I won’t forget it.”
“Then let’s go in.”
Im Jun-pyo resumed his steps.
Soon after, inside the office of the mobile phone business manager.
Hyun Ki-jung, who got up from his seat, greeted the guests.
“Im vice president, you must have had a hard timeing all this way.”
“I should havee sooner, but I waste. How have you been?”
Im Jun-pyo bowed politely, and Hyun Ki-jung, who held his hand,ughed out loud.
“There’s nothing wrong with me. Hehe.”
It looked like a good atmosphere to anyone, but their inner thoughts were not like that.
Especially Hyun Ki-jung was very surprised.
It was not something that Im Jun-pyo woulde to see him personally.
What was more strange was that he brought an employee with him.
“Hello, vice president.”
Yoo-hyun greeted him, and Hyun Ki-jung hid his feelings and smiled.
“Yeah. Long time no see.”
“Yes. Nice to meet you.”
Hyun Ki-jung felt more puzzled by Yoo-hyun’s bright appearance.
Hyun Ki-jung, who sat on the sofa, asked Im Jun-pyo, who sat opposite him.
“Im vice president, why did youe with that kid?”
“I thought he might have something helpful, so I brought him with me.”
“Oh, helpful?”
Hyun Ki-jung asked curiously.
His curiosity grew bigger and bigger.
To him, Im Jun-pyo said.
“Yes. It will help you decide the direction.”
“What do you mean by direction?”
Hyun Ki-jung asked, and Im Jun-pyo nodded at Yoo-hyun.
“You tell him.”
“Yes. I understand.”
Yoo-hyun nodded his head and looked at Hyun Ki-jung with a meaningful look.
“I wonder what he’s going to say.”
There was no way that the vice president, who was about the same rank as Hyun Ki-joong, didn’t know why Yoo-hyun came.
He must have already grasped the situation that was going on with his intuition.
Of course, Yoo-hyun had no intention of responding to him in the same way.
He skipped the trivial excuses and went straight to the point.
“I know that you are worried about the ultra-high resolution panel, vice president.”
“Hmm, what is it?”
Hyun Ki-joong’s eyebrows twitched at Yoo-hyun’s unexpected answer.
Yoo-hyun went a step further.
“It’s because you won’t be able to get the panel for the mobile phone division if Apple monopolizes it.”
“Well, that’s not wrong.”
“But the thing you are worried about will not happen.”
It was not a word to calm down the confusion, but a confidence.
It was not something that shoulde out of an employee’s mouth, and he looked at the expression of vice president Im Jun-pyo.
He thought he would say something, but he looked rather calm.
It looked like he had entrusted everything to the employee.
Hyun Ki-joong was only puzzled by this whole situation.
He turned his head sideways and asked Yoo-hyun again.
“Why? Apple said they invested in the factory, which means they want to monopolize it.”
“They didn’t make such a contract.”
As Yoo-hyun answered, Hyun Ki-joong’s forehead narrowed.
This time, vice president Im Jun-pyo intervened.
“Yoo-hyun is right. We didn’t make a detailed contract for the factory.”
“Huh. So Apple invested like that? Then when is the contract date?”
“It’s after the product evaluation meeting.”
As vice president Im Jun-pyo answered, Hyun Ki-joong nodded his head.
“I see. Apple wants to see how far they can go until the end.”
He understood the conversation based on his experience.
Usually, these contracts were often demanded by the dominant party.
It was to get more from the subordinate party.
His stereotype was broken by Yoo-hyun.
“To be precise, it was our request.”
“That’s surprising. There’s nothing in it for you.”
“It’s because we can make a better oue.”
This was also not something that an employee should say.
But since vice president Im Jun-pyo remained silent, Hyun Ki-joong responded for now.
“Are you confident?”
“Yes. When this product evaluation meeting is over, Apple will have no choice but to look at us.”
Hyun Ki-joong snorted at Yoo-hyun’s endless confidence.
“That arrogant Apple?”
“Yes. And there won’t be any unteral monopoly either.”
“Is that possible?”
“It is. If you don’t believe me, just wait for a month and see the result.”
Was it because Yoo-hyun went too far?
Hyun Ki-joong’s head turned sideways involuntarily.
“Vice president Im, what is this?”
“As I told you.”
“What? This is ridiculous.”
Hyun Ki-joong spat out augh when vice president Im Jun-pyo agreed with him.
He looked at Yoo-hyun for a moment and then shed a sharp look.
His friendly expression was nowhere to be seen.
He advised the young employee as a vice president.
“Kid, you know that things in this world don’t go so easily.”
“I know. But I promise you with responsibility.”
Yoo-hyun didn’t back down even when he pressured him harder.
“Responsibility? Are you going to resign if it doesn’t work?”
“Yes. I will.”
Yoo-hyun answered without blinking an eye, and Hyun Ki-joong waved his hand as if he had lost.
He still thought of Yoo-hyun’s words as just an employee’s spirit.
“Haha. I’m kidding. You’re really brave.”
“No. I’m serious.”
Yoo-hyun looked at him squarely and exuded his spirit.
If he had any intention of backing down, he wouldn’t havee here in the first ce.
Coming here?
To be honest, it was a gamble.
There was nothing good for Yoo-hyun even if he popped up.
But he decided to do it anyway, because it was the fastest and most certain way.
And there was something else he had to confirm.
Hyun Ki-joong, who had been looking at Yoo-hyun quietly, shrugged his shoulders.
“Puhaha. I lost, I lost.”
“…”
Then he looked at Yoo-hyun and said,
“You really have confidence?”
“Of course.”
As Yoo-hyun confirmed his answer, Hyun Ki-joong looked at vice president Im Jun-pyo.
“Hehe. Vice president Im, are you confident too?”
“I am confident.”
As vice president Im Jun-pyo nodded his head as well, Hyun Ki-joong sat downfortably.
He was a realist.
He was not a fool to refuse a contract that was obviously beneficial.
“Well, well. If that’s the case, I have nothing to worry about.”
“Thank you. I’ll show you with the result.”
Yoo-hyun smiled as he reaffirmed his ambition.
Hyun Ki-joong muttered as he saw him.
“Really impressive. If youe out like this, I have to give you something.”
It was the situation he had been waiting for, and Yoo-hyun immediately took his words.
“Vice president, can I ask you a favor then?”
“What is it?”
“Actually, this matter is…”
Yoo-hyun finally exined the cause and effect of this situation.
Right and wrong were not important at all in this situation where everything was decided.
Hyun Ki-joong nodded his head as he listened to Yoo-hyun’s exnation.
“Hehe, so that’s how it happened. Okay. Let’s wrap it up as you said.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
A smile appeared on Yoo-hyun’s lips.
