Real Man

Chapter 225:

Chapter 225

Things were not always good when they went well.

For those who were not prepared, the tight schedule was a hardship.

Especially for the second part.

The scream of Hong Hyuk-soo, the leader of the second part, echoed again.

“Yoon Ki-choon. Is that what you have to say right now? The report is due soon.”

“I’m sorry. I’m trying to do it…”

“You said you would do it. Then hurry up and finish it. Don’t embarrass the part.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Hurry up.”

As Hong Hyuk-soo snapped, the people in the second part looked around.

He glared at Yoo-hyun with a fierce look.

His eyes dripped with hostility.

Not only Hong Hyuk-soo, but also many others around him.

But Yoo-hyun didn’t care much.

Because they were pitiful?

No.

Because this was the product development department.

The development department had to produce clear results when they had a schedule, unlike other departments.

And the one who was whipping them with the current schedule was Vice President Go Joon-ho.

In other words, there was no way out.

They had to work even if they were annoyed.

That was enough for Yoo-hyun.

The problem was elsewhere.

Yoo-hyun looked at Kim Seon-dong, who was trembling next to him.

He had been in that state since Hong Hyuk-soo lost his temper.

Yoo-hyun asked him quietly.

“Mr. Kim, is something wrong?”

“No, no.”

“Still…”

“Wait, wait. I have to go somewhere.”

As Yoo-hyun tried to say more, Kim Seon-dong quickly left.

Yoo-hyun watched his back and thought.

He had always followed Yoon Ki-choon before, but not to this extent.

The future that Yoo-hyun changed touched something.

That made Kim Seon-dong more impatient.

What was it?

Maybe he was involved in something more ugly than he thought.

Yoo-hyun narrowed down the possibilities based on his surroundings.

The problem was also outside.

It was a foregone conclusion that the business director and group leader would change.

As the Apple business was a sensitive part, the plan could be twisted depending on who came up.

Before that, Yoo-hyun had to be fully prepared.

‘It’s about time for the rumor to spread.’

He thought so as he sat in his office.

Just in time, he received a call from Choi Min-hee, the manager.

Yoo-hyun answered the phone with a glad heart.

“Yes, manager.”

-Are you doing well?

“Of course. I’m using the presenter you gave me well.”

-You’re turning things upside down with that thing.

“Please pretend you don’t know.”

Yoo-hyun joked and heard a chuckle from the other side of the phone.

He imagined Choi Min-hee’s smiling face.

It didn’t seem like she called for bad news, so Yoo-hyun asked bluntly.

“manager, do you know anything about the personnel changes of the business director and group leader?”

-Huh? Personnel changes?

“Yes. I heard they’re changing.”

-It’s not accurate yet, but can I just tell you?

“Yes. Please do me a favor.”

-Who are they…

Choi Min-hee told him what she knew.

Hansung Tower was fast with these rumors.

And as a part leader, she must have heard a lot of stories from here and there.

Yoo-hyun nodded as he listened to her explanation.

“So the new ones are Vice President Lim Jun-pyo and Executive Director Yeo Tae-sik?”

-Yeah. You don’t know them, right? They’re not from our business unit.

‘No. I know them very well.’

Yoo-hyun hid his inner thoughts and answered.

“Yes. But I’ll have to look them up anyway.”

-Yeah. Just remember that it’s not accurate.

“Thank you for telling me.”

-What are you talking about? It’s nothing compared to what you did at the Innovation Planning Contest.

Yoo-hyun thanked her and Choi Min-hee sounded sorry again.

She still seemed to have a bit of regret for spitting out cold words at his proposal a while ago.

Yoo-hyun replied casually.

“That was just an idea I threw out.”

-That was the core. Anyway, I passed the first round with that thing.

“Congratulations. You worked hard.”

-No. Anyway. Ahem, thank you.

“Oh, don’t say that again.”

Choi Min-hee changed the subject as if she was embarrassed by Yoo-hyun’s good-natured words.

-Won’t you come over? I’ll buy you something delicious if you come on the weekend.

“You should spend time with your family on the weekend.”

-I have some leeway.

“It’s an honor, but I have some things to do this weekend.”

-I’m not saying to see you right away.

“Oh, is that so? Haha. Okay.”

Yoo-hyun laughed and hung up the phone.

He joked, but he really had something to do this weekend.

And it was a very important thing.

That Saturday night.

Yoo-hyun received a call from Ha Joon-seok.

His voice was full of sighs.

-Sigh, Nam Jong-boo called and we’re going to meet at the bar.

“Right now? He’s grown up. He keeps his promises.”

-He’s coming down from Ulsan today, so I guess that’s why.

“Okay. I’ll go over there.”

-You really want to?

“Yeah. How many people are there?”

Ha Joon-seok asked and Yoo-hyun answered as if it was obvious.

He had been waiting for this since he heard that there was a possibility a few days ago.

There was no reason not to be happy.

-The vice president and the manager are going together. I think Nam Jong-boo will come alone.

“Okay. I can see the situation.”

-I’ll pretend I don’t know anything.

“Then. That’s enough.”

Yoo-hyun hung up the phone with a smile.

Then he picked out his clothes.

What should he wear?

He felt excited for the first time in a long time.

A little later.

Yoo-hyun took a bus and arrived in Ulsan city.

His outfit was casual and plain.

He didn’t wear any expensive accessories.

Why?

Because it hurts more to be ignored by someone who looks poor.

That was the nature of the nouveau riche.

Yoo-hyun entered the bar where Nam Jong-boo was waiting with light steps.

Squeak.

As Yoo-hyun entered the entrance, a counter staff approached him.

“Hello. Would you like me to show you to your seat?”

“No, I have a companion.”

“Do you know where they are?”

“Room B.”

The counter staff was startled when Yoo-hyun said that.

It was because there was a VIP customer who ordered millions of won worth of food and drinks inside.

“Oh. Yes, yes. I’ll show you the way.”

“No, I’ll go by myself.”

Yoo-hyun smiled faintly and walked out alone.

The dim space was quite luxurious with the subtle lighting.

Some people were sitting on the stand seats, sipping cocktails.

Yoo-hyun passed by the regular table seats and moved to the room that was prepared in the corner.

He could see the inside faintly through a small window.

There was exactly the person he was looking for.

He opened the door with a bang and entered.

Yoo-hyun grasped the atmosphere of the room in an instant.

Nam Jongbu was sitting on the right side of the table, fidgeting nervously.

His wide face, dull eyes, and big nose matched Yoo-hyun’s memory.

He was still young in his mid-30s, but his face looked much older because of his presbyopia.

He was dressed in tacky luxury items all over his body. He turned his head and looked at Yoo-hyun.

“Who are you?”

“Ah, just a moment.”

“What did you say?”

Nam Jongbu asked incredulously, and Yoo-hyun sighed deeply.

“Phew. You were hard to find.”

“…”

The three men who were sitting crumpled up blinked their eyes as they met Yoo-hyun’s gaze.

They couldn’t understand the situation at all.

One of them had his pupils shaking violently.

It was Yoo-hyun’s friend, Ha Jun-seok.

He couldn’t even pretend to know him and showed a flustered expression.

Yoo-hyun picked up the glass of alcohol in front of Ha Jun-seok and chuckled.

It was filled with all kinds of foreign substances.

Nam Jongbu’s dirty hobby was still the same as ever.

“I knew it. You’re playing this kind of prank because you’re drinking cheap alcohol.”

“Hey, do you know how much this is worth?”

Nam Jongbu gave a really childish answer even in this situation.

Yoo-hyun matched his level perfectly.

“You’re kidding. I don’t drink anything less than 30 years old.”

“This is…”

Splash.

As soon as Nam Jongbu opened his mouth, Yoo-hyun threw the dirty alcohol on the floor.

“…”

“Huh.”

Everyone was speechless at the absurd situation.

Nam Jongbu also stopped talking and gave a hollow laugh.

Thud.

Yoo-hyun calmly sat next to Nam Jongbu and pointed at the watch on his arm.

“Look at this. I knew it. This is a fake Patek.”

“What are you talking about? Hey, this is real.”

“But you have a Louis Vuitton bag, huh. Did you buy it at an outlet?”

Nam Jongbu’s face turned red at Yoo-hyun’s sarcasm.

“This crazy bastard, has he gone mad?”

“Hey, do you still not know who I am?”

“…”

“This kid, he lost his mind after coming down to Ulsan.”

Yoo-hyun pressed on strongly and Nam Jongbu furrowed his brow.

He looked like he was trying to remember something.

The employees of Shinil Construction across the table didn’t intervene, thinking that the two knew each other. They just looked around nervously.

Meanwhile, Yoo-hyun poured some of the alcohol in front of Nam Jongbu into an empty glass.

Glug glug.

It was a fairly expensive drink.

He took a sip and offered the glass to Nam Jongbu, calling his name.

“Jongbu.”

Then Nam Jongbu’s wide forehead narrowed sharply.

“Who the hell are you?”

“You’re not someone I can call so casually, bastard.”

“You…”

There had never been anyone who treated him like this, a tycoon with hundreds of billions of assets.

Nam Jongbu’s hands trembled from the shock he had never experienced before.

He was angry, but he was also curious about the identity of the person in front of him.

He looked young and he wasn’t dressed properly.

But he was too confident.

In a word, he was baffling.

It was then that he scrutinized Yoo-hyun with his thin eyes.

Yoo-hyun casually handed him the glass and taunted him.

“Do you not know how to drink because you’re a tycoon? You don’t know how to drink, do you?”

“You crazy bastard. Who are you really?”

Yoo-hyun touched his tycoon complex and Nam Jongbu exploded, forgetting his curiosity and anger.

Just in time, Yoo-hyun uttered the word that could shut his mouth.

“The redevelopment site of Yongsan House Village.”

“What?”

“Do you want me to say more? Then it won’t be good for you, you know.”

“…”

“Why don’t you send the others out first? It looks like we have a lot to talk about, just the two of us.”

Yoo-hyun relaxed as he saw his pupils shaking violently.

Nam Jongbu hesitated for a moment and waved his hand.

“Just go out for now.”

“Yes, Mr. Nam.”

Yoo-hyun spoke to the oldest employee who bowed.

“Don’t pay for anything. I’ll take care of it here.”

“Yes, I understand.”

The Shinil Construction executives who were looking around nodded their heads lowly at Yoo-hyun’s words.

Ha Jun-seok also bowed his head in confusion.

Yoo-hyun watched them leave and poured some alcohol into Nam Jongbu’s glass again.

Glug glug glug.

“I’m glad to see you again like this.”

“Tell me. How do you know that?”

“Why, are you worried? If you’re worried, call your bodyguards. It seems like there are two guys downstairs.”

“…”

Clang.

Yoo-hyun forced the glass into Nam Jongbu’s hand and toasted with him.

Then he smiled brightly and said,

“I can hear you thinking hard. Why? Do you think you covered up your corruption well?”

“You bastard, how much do you know?”

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to expose you cruelly. I don’t have time for that.”

“Then what do you want?”

Nam Jongbu put on an uncharacteristic calm expression.

But it was obvious that his throat was trembling.
