Chapter 288

A moment later.

In the office of Hansung Tower, Vice President Im Jun-pyo spoke in a stiff voice.

“Did you send the data to the development center from Director Jo’s side?”

“What? What do you mean…”

“Vice President Hyun called me personally. He seems to have a lot of complaints about us.”

“Huh! That can’t be true.”

Vice President Im Jun-pyo handed over the report he had received to Director Jo Chan-young, who was startled.

Thud.

“Director Jo, pay more attention.”

Director Jo Chan-young’s hands trembled as he received the report on the table.

“I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”

“You don’t have to apologize to me. Just make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

“Yes, sir.”

Vice President Im Jun-pyo spoke calmly, but Director Jo Chan-young could not do the same.

Director Jo Chan-young bowed deeply.

His eyes, which had been peaceful lately, were filled with venom.

Hansung Tower 12th floor office.

A small misunderstanding snowballed and hit the product planning team.

Kim Hyun-min, the team leader, was talking with Choi Min-hee, the deputy manager, when it happened.

Director Jo Chan-young approached them with a flushed face and shouted angrily.

“Who the hell sent this crap data!”

“What’s wrong with you?”

Kim Hyun-min, the team leader, answered with his usual easygoing manner, but Director Jo Chan-young glared at him and threw the report he was holding.

“Team Leader Kim, do I look like I’m joking?”

“Of course not. I’m just saying that you don’t need to be so upset.”

“Do you want to get scolded by the vice president? He was furious!”

“Why did the vice president get involved?”

“Why? Because of this data that your team made!”

The two of them had a heated argument for a while.

Choi Min-hee, the deputy manager, quickly scanned the report on the desk.

She noticed a familiar page among the data made by the next-generation product development team.

She narrowed her eyes and asked.

“Director, did the next-generation product development team refer to this data?”

“Ha! Yes. This is what Deputy Manager Choi made, right?”

“No. This is not my data. The content has been modified.”

“Who would believe that! The source is clearly written here!”

Director Jo Chan-young snapped at her, but Kim Hyun-min, the team leader, said.

“Hey, someone might have changed it.”

“How is that possible? Who would touch the official data!”

Director Jo Chan-young was about to explode.

Choi Min-hee, the deputy manager, remembered something that flashed through her mind.

A while ago, Yoo-hyun had sent an email to the next-generation product development team with her as a reference.

She had checked the data at that time and it was the same as the one that had been distributed before.

She understood the situation and spoke in a calm voice.

“Director, I’ll check with the mobile phone business unit.”

“Do it now! Right now!”

“Yes. I understand.”

Choi Min-hee, the deputy manager, nodded her head.

She and the product planning team 3rd part were having a stormy time.

Meanwhile, in the pre-product team, they were conducting a final test with an improved video board.

Min Su-jin, senior engineer, turned on the power with trembling hands.

Tick.

Then a bright screen appeared on the panel.

The stain that had been a problem was also neatly corrected.

Min Su-jin clenched her fist for a moment.

“Yes!”

She was always cautious, but this improvement work was not easy.

But in the end, they all worked together and took another step forward.

With this, they were ready for the panel evaluation meeting.

Yoo-hyun encouraged Min Su-jin.

“You’ve worked hard.”

“What are you talking about? This is just the beginning. We still have to check more.”

Min Su-jin pretended not to care, but there was a smile on her lips.

The others were the same.

“Now we just have to do this…”

“My part is…”

They were all smiling even though they were working hard because the results were good.

This positive effort would bring better results.

Yoo-hyun liked their appearance very much.

He smiled as he watched them.

That’s when it happened.

Ring. Ring.

A phone call came in.

The caller was Hwang Dong-sik, assistant manager who had moved to 3rd part when Yoo-hyun was dispatched there.

Yoo-hyun moved to a quiet place and answered the phone.

“Assistant Manager Hwang, hello.”

-Hey, Yoo-hyun. How are you doing?

He sounded bad. It must be because he was getting married soon.

Yoo-hyun asked cautiously.

“Assistant Manager Hwang, is there something wrong?”

-Deputy Manager Choi told me not to tell you, but…

“Oh, is it about work? I’m also…”

-Why?

“No, nothing. What is it?”

Yoo-hyun asked, and Hwang Dong-sik spoke in a serious voice.

-Actually…

Yoo-hyun was dumbfounded as he listened.

He endured until the end, but he had to open his mouth when he heard something more absurd.

“What? Vice President Hyun?”

-Yes. He directly tackled our business manager.

“The team atmosphere must be terrible.”

-You don’t say. Everything is on hold because of this. Especially our part.

It was understandable since it involved two business managers.

Yoo-hyun pictured the situation in his head and asked calmly.

“What about the mobile phone business unit?”

-Deputy Manager Choi claimed it, but they don’t seem to listen.

“So what?”

-They are the ones who have the upper hand. We just made a mistake.

From the mobile phone business unit’s point of view, they had no reason to admit their fault.

Even if they did, the content had already been reported.

They couldn’t take it back.

The situation was too messed up.

“I’m sorry that I caused trouble by sending the data.”

-No. Everyone knows that it’s not your fault. That’s why he told me not to tell you.

“I see. I’ll look into it.”

Yoo-hyun said, and Hwang Dong-sik said in a worried voice.

-Don’t tell Deputy Manager Choi. I’ll get scolded.

“Of course. And can you send me the data you mentioned earlier?”

-Okay. I’ll email it to you.

“Thank you.”

Yoo-hyun thanked Hwang Dong-sik and hung up the phone.

His expression was very serious.

A moment later.

Yoo-hyun looked at the data that Hwang Dong-sik had sent him.

It was the data that the next-generation product development team had written, and it contained the content that Yoo-hyun had sent to Kang Chang-seok.

But it was not the same as what Yoo-hyun had sent.

Some phrases had been changed, and because of that, the intention of the data had changed completely.

Yoo-hyun looked at the first page again.

He wanted to check who had modified it.

“What is this?”

But the presenter on the data was different from what he expected.

It was Kang Chang-seok, the lowest-ranking member of the team, who gave the presentation.

And he did it in front of the development center director.

Yoo-hyun sneered as he figured out the rough situation.

His intention to change the content?

Considering various political circumstances, it was likely that he was asked by his superiors.

It was an opportunity to present in front of the development center director, so he wouldn’t want to miss it.

He understood that very well.

But.

He shouldn’t have left the source like this on the report.

A frog dies from a stone thrown carelessly.

It might not have been a big deal for Kang Chang-seok.

But because of that, the whole product planning team was in trouble now.

Yet no one blamed Yoo-hyun.

He was the one who sent the data in the first place.

Yoo-hyun was annoyed by that.

Thump. Thump.

Yoo-hyun was tapping his fingers on the desk, lost in thought, when it happened.

Ring.

A phone call came in.

It was Kang Chang-seok, the source of the problem.

The situation had gotten out of hand, so it was time for him to call.

Yoo-hyun answered the phone in a somewhat stiff voice.

“Yes, this is Han Yu-hyun.”

-Yu-hyun, actually…

As expected, Kang Chang-seok rambled on with his excuses.

Yoo-hyun didn’t think he did it on purpose either.

But that didn’t mean he could let it go easily.

“You should have told me beforehand if you were in that situation.”

-I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to do that. Please believe me.

“Okay. I believe you. But please take responsibility and fix this.”

-How?

“Just admit your mistake honestly.”

Even if Kang Chang-seok admitted his fault, he couldn’t undo what he had done.

The best he could do was to make the development center director feel a little guilty.

Of course, that didn’t mean that the development center would apologize first either.

-That’s…

“Why? You did it anyway.”

Yoo-hyun hoped that Kang Chang-seok would take responsibility for this matter.

If he had a conscience, he should have done that at least.

That was Yoo-hyun’s idea of justice.

-No. Then our team leader…

But Kang Chang-seok tried to make excuses again.

Yoo-hyun had nothing more to say to him.

“Let’s hang up now.”

Click.

Yoo-hyun sighed briefly after hanging up the phone.

He didn’t have time to listen to his endless excuses.

He had to fix this problem as soon as possible.

Why?

He was sure when he heard Kang Chang-seok’s words earlier.

There were people in the development center who wanted to make trouble on purpose.

They were more daring than Yoo-hyun thought.

If this continued, they would try to trip him up again before the evaluation meeting.

He couldn’t let that happen.

The next day.

Early in the morning, a black car was parked in front of Yoo-hyun’s house.

It was a large sedan that Hansung Electronics executives liked to ride in.

In front of the car, a neatly dressed driver bowed to Yoo-hyun who came down the stairs and greeted him.

“Hello, Han Yu-hyun.”

“Driver, why are you doing this? It’s too much.”

Yoo-hyun waved his hand at him, and the driver smiled brightly.

“You’re still a VIP. I have to treat you well.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

The two of them chatted like they had met before.

The driver even reached out his hand first.

“It’s good to see you again.”

“Thank you for coming, Driver Ok Jong-ho.”

Yoo-hyun smiled and shook hands with Ok Jong-ho, whom he had met at the driver’s rest area a while ago.

He had received help from him, who was Lee Tae-ryong’s driver.

Their connection continued like this.

Vroom.

The driver who was driving opened his mouth.

“I was surprised.”

“Why?”

“The presenter on the data was different from what I expected.”

“I didn’t expect Vice President Lim to send a car himself.”

“Really?”

“You must have done a good job, Yu-hyun.”

He spoke as casually as his quiet engine sound.

Yoo-hyun asked him back with a sarcastic tone.

“Do they send cars like this if you do a good job?”

“No. It never happened before. And your destination is Sindorim Campus, right?”

There was no place for LCD business unit at Hansung Electronics Sindorim Campus.

That meant there was no chance for him to get praised or rewarded by his business unit there.

Ok Jong-ho seemed to know the situation well, so Yoo-hyun told him straight.

“I’m not going there because I did a good job.”

“Then you’re going to meet Vice President Lim there, right?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“I see. Are you going to see Vice President Hyun too?”

He sounded and looked like he knew that too.
