Chapter 254:
It was awful.
Yoo-hyun blocked his way.
Park Bong-su, the team leader, sneered and narrowed his eyes.
“Get out of the way.”
He kicked the ball and did a phantom dribble.
He had a flashy footwork, probably because he was a former player.
“Wow!”
The spectators were amazed by his skill, as if he was a pro player.
But Yoo-hyun was calm.
He had dodged all the fast punches from Kang Dong-sik, who was flying right in front of him.
He even read his feints and predicted his moves to knock him down.
He couldn’t fool Yoo-hyun with such slow movements.
Thump.
It was when Park Bong-su’s foot moved left and right in a zigzag pattern.
Yoo-hyun tapped the ball.
Then the ball rolled away into an empty space.
“Shit!”
Park Bong-su, who didn’t care about the ball, ran at him and pushed his shoulder.
Yoo-hyun also resisted by bumping his shoulder.
“Hey, hey!”
The spectators were shocked, and the referee was about to blow his whistle.
Crash.
Instead, Park Bong-su fell to the ground.
“…”
The people were speechless at the absurd outcome.
Anyone could see that Yoo-hyun’s body looked thin.
But what they didn’t know was this.
Yoo-hyun was the one who fought with Kim Tae-su, the biggest guy in the gym, in a one-on-one match.
He also overpowered Nam Jong-bu’s bodyguards with his strength.
To Yoo-hyun, Park Bong-su was just an ordinary person.
Bang!
Yoo-hyun ignored Park Bong-su and kicked the ball hard.
It hit the side, but the ball flew far away.
There was Kim Seon-dong, the team leader, where the ball landed.
“Team leader Kim!”
“Huff, huff, huff.”
Yoo-hyun shouted loudly, and Kim Seon-dong ran to catch the ball.
“Aaaaaah!”
Then he ran with all his might with the ball.
He didn’t run very well, but he shed his shyness and ran.
It was as if he inherited Yoo-hyun’s will, and his eyes were full of determination.
The defenders who had gone to attack came running back, and he passed the ball.
Thump.
Roll roll roll roll.
The ball reached Jeong In-wook, the manager.
He was the same.
He ran a little more to pass the ball somehow.
Then he quickly rolled the ball to a gap where there was no defender.
“Senior Maeng, go!”
It wasn’t a clean pass, but it was a one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper since there was no defender around.
“Yeah!”
Maeng Gi-yong, the senior, also ran with all his might like Yoo-hyun had shown him.
But unfortunately, the goalkeeper was faster.
Bang!
“Damn it!”
A rough sound came out of Maeng Gi-yong’s mouth, who had been quiet until then.
Someone might see this scene as just a failed attack.
But it looked different to Yoo-hyun’s eyes.
The wind was blowing.
The team was changing.
Yoo-hyun felt it.
That’s right.
The reason why Yoo-hyun came here as a dispatch and stirred things up everywhere.
The reason why he ran around the soccer field like crazy.
The reason was right in front of him.
He liked seeing the people around him change.
Maybe they were labeled as trash for unreasonable reasons.
He wanted to gather their wills and create a fresh wind.
It was a pleasure that he had never felt before in his past life.
Bang!
The goalkeeper kicked the ball out of bounds at the same time as Yoo-hyun hit the ground.
That’s when it happened.
Yoo-hyun, who had been on the other side, was already sprinting over there.
“Waaaaah!”
“Yoo-hyun!”
Cheers and calls mixed together.
Yoo-hyun couldn’t do everything.
He had things that he could do well, and he had been doing them until now.
Turning the wrong direction of the ship.
Giving the ship enough fuel to move forward.
That was all Yoo-hyun could do.
The rest had to be done by the crew members who raised their limits on board.
Only then could the ship reach its destination.
With that in mind, Yoo-hyun ran toward the ball.
“Huff! Huff!”
Running was something Yoo-hyun could do.
And also,
It was giving fuel to the huge ship that had just started moving in the right direction.
Whoosh!
Yoo-hyun crossed the half line and jumped into the air.
His head hit the ball that was going out of bounds.
Crash!
As Yoo-hyun fell to the ground with a cloud of dust, the ball flew in a parabola into the ground.
“Uh, uh…!”
The ball went over the surprised defender and bounced on the ground.
There was Lee Jin-mok, the team leader, in that position.
Yoo-hyun’s voice echoed loudly.
“Team leader Lee!”
“Don’t worry! I’ll save it!”
Lee Jin-mok’s eyes sparkled as he caught the ball and crossed it.
Yoo-hyun’s will passed through Lee Jin-mok to Maeng Gi-yong.
The ship that had been filled with fuel finally started to sprint toward its destination.
“Senior Maeng!”
Lee Jin-mok’s shout flew, and Maeng Gi-yong charged toward the flying ball.
He had to head it, but he missed the timing to lower his head.
Thud.
“Ugh!”
Maeng Gi-yong took the ball with his face and it rolled away.
Thud.
The goalkeeper tripped over his feet because of the sudden change of direction of the ball.
The ball rolled leisurely into the goal.
It was a miraculous goal that exploded in the 85th minute of the game.
“Yay!”
Maeng Gi-yong roared and did a goal celebration.
“Yoo-hyun!”
He ran to Yoo-hyun, who was near the half line, with his arms spread and hugged him.
Clatter.
“Woooooah!”
The team members ran over and covered Yoo-hyun and Maeng Gi-yong.
“Yoo-hyun! Yoo-hyun! Yoo-hyun! Yoo-hyun!”
The crowd was ecstatic.
The one who hugged Yoo-hyun the hardest was Senior Go Seong-cheol.
He had dropped the ‘Mr.’ from his speech.
“Yoo-hyun, you’re awesome!”
“Well done!”
The others were the same.
They couldn’t contain their boiling emotions.
But the ship hadn’t reached its destination yet.
Yoo-hyun calmly said.
“There’s still time left.”
“Yeah! Let’s do our best.”
Senior Maeng Gi-yong clenched his fist.
Team Leader Lee Jin-mok shouted loudly.
“Yoo-hyun!”
The others also joined in with their chants.
“Yoo-hyun! Yoo-hyun! Fighting!”
The team members started to squeeze out their strength, even the ones they had as babies.
Yoo-hyun couldn’t lose either.
He ran like a madman.
He felt like his whole body was going to explode.
Bang!
He finally cut off Park Bong-su’s last ball.
“Aaaah!”
The whistle blew along with Park Bong-su’s scream.
Beep beep beep!
In the end, Team Product Development beat Team Circuit 3 by 1 to 0.
“Huff! Huff! Huff!”
As soon as the game ended, Yoo-hyun lay down on the ground.
He was exhausted, even though he had a good stamina. He had run more than four times as much as a normal person.
Then the people rushed over to him.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. I’m fine.”
“Let me massage your legs.”
Senior Go Seong-cheol grabbed Yoo-hyun’s feet and loosened his tense muscles.
Senior Son Mu-gil handed him a glass of water.
There was no circuit or panel to cut here.
Everyone looked at Yoo-hyun with warm eyes.
Of course, their words were somewhat rough.
“You crazy bastard.”
“I’ve never seen anyone like you, never.”
Yoo-hyun silently raised his thumb and everyone lay down with him.
It was the moment when the team became one.
Was it because of the victory in soccer?
The people of Team Product Development, who had been dragged around by Team Circuit 3 because of their rank and weight, had changed.
Their speech and behavior had confidence in them.
That atmosphere was felt everywhere in the office.
Senior Min Su-jin approached Senior Im Chan-gi and suggested.
“Senior Im, I think this is the right way to design the AP board.”
“Why? You said it wasn’t last time.”
“I just let it go then, but I realized that we need to consider backup plans too.”
“Huh! Then we have to do it again.”
“I’ll buy you a drink if you help me. Please.”
Senior Im Chan-gi grumbled, and Senior Min Su-jin approached him kindly.
It was something she couldn’t do normally, considering her personality.
She wanted to succeed in this project somehow.
She wasn’t the only one.
The others also took the initiative to regain their authority.
They didn’t need a meeting anymore. They went directly to communicate with each other.
Their speed accelerated gradually.
It wasn’t just because of the confidence they gained from winning soccer.
They realized that they knew more than Team Circuit 3 when they actually confronted them.
That realization turned into skill.
Team Circuit 3 had an advantage of having their eyes on Apple for a long time, doing Apple business.
On the other hand, they only made products that Apple wanted, under strict control of Apple.
And they made almost the same product for two years.
They couldn’t compete with Team Product Development, who had accumulated all kinds of experiences, in terms of knowledge.
Team Leader Kim Seon-dong was giving a seminar to Team Circuit 3 members in a small conference room.
“If you use a camera for screen correction, then…”
Questions popped up from everywhere in response to his explanation.
“Does this work?”
“Yes. It does. If you look at this…”
Yoo-hyun stepped forward and showed them a demo himself. Their eyes widened in astonishment.
“Wow! That’s amazing.”
It was a versatile technology that could be applied to other panels as well.
They touched the panel with curiosity as they watched. Yoo-hyun gave Team Leader Kim Seon-dong a thumbs up.
Team Leader Kim Seon-dong smiled back at Yoo-hyun and continued his speech confidently.
“Yes. With this method, you can also catch many LCD defects that existed before.”
“Wouldn’t it take longer to produce?”
“Yes. But if you install an automation program on the production line, you can solve that problem.”
“Oh, that sounds good.”
His speech was a bit awkward, but he delivered the key points clearly.
Team Circuit 3 members nodded their heads.
They were slowly realizing it too.
The power that Team Product Development had.
They weren’t the only ones.
Team Product Development also actively led the people from Future Product Research Lab and CTO, who came down from the second floor.
They realized that Team Product Development had to exist for this project.
In the end, Team Product Development was the center.
That confidence gradually turned into results.
Yoo-hyun saw it.
The project was on track, and it was somewhat stable.
Finally, the long-awaited team dinner day came.
The atmosphere of the team members who gathered in one place after work was completely different from last time.
There was no awkwardness at all.
They all seemed to have been waiting for this day, and they were all in a good mood.
The menu change was also a reason.
Team Leader Lee Jin-mok, who was grilling meat, shouted loudly.
He also had a beef mania like Lee Chan-ho.
“Of course. A team dinner has to be beef.”
“I’ll grill it for you.”
Yoo-hyun tried to help, but Team Leader Lee Jin-mok shook his head.
“No. Yoo-hyun, you just stay still. I’m a certified grill master, you know.”
“Puhahaha! This guy is crazy when he’s drunk.”
Senior Maeng Gi-yong laughed loudly as he watched him, his face flushed red.
