Chapter 321:
Chapter 321
Thud.
Yoo-hyun put his phone on the table, intending to end the meeting there. He said,
“I’ve heard enough from you, investors of Goruha. Let’s see how far you can go. Let’s see who will be buried in this industry.”
“Wh-where did you get that?”
Shin Jaecheol reached out and lunged at him, but Yoo-hyun quickly snatched his phone away.
Shin Jaecheol lost his balance and bumped into Yoo-hyun’s body as he fell.
Thwack.
His head and shoulder hit Yoo-hyun’s chest.
“Wow, are you resorting to violence now? Don’t you know there’s a CCTV here?”
“I-I never.”
“These guys are not investors, they’re thugs. This is unacceptable. I have to call the reporters right now.”
Yoo-hyun got up from his seat and Go Youngseok extended his hand.
“Wait.”
“What? Are you going to complain about the taxi fare again?”
“Hmm, hmm. I think there’s some misunderstanding here. Let’s just end it here.”
“No, thank you. I have nothing to lose, you see. I can’t stand being humiliated like this.”
Swoosh.
Go Youngseok silently took out a 50,000 won bill from his wallet and offered it to him.
“How about you take this and forget about it?”
“Who do you think I am?”
Yoo-hyun snorted and tossed the bill in the air.
The fluttering bill landed on Shin Jaecheol’s face with a thud.
Yoo-hyun grabbed his bag and pulled Hyunjin’s arm.
“Hyunjin, let’s go. I’ll deal with these bastards.”
“Okay.”
Hyunjin seemed to have lost all his pride and followed Yoo-hyun’s words obediently.
He had seen Yoo-hyun’s personality during the reserve training, so he didn’t look surprised at all.
The ones who were flustered were Go Youngseok and Shin Jaecheol.
“Director Shin.”
“Hy-Hyunjin. Just go along with them, what can they do.”
Shin Jaecheol ran to catch Hyunjin, but it was just when Hyunjin was closing the conference room door.
Bang.
The corner of the door hit Shin Jaecheol’s face as he was sticking it out.
“Ouch.”
Hyunjin walked away without looking back.
Yoo-hyun poked his side and said,
“You have a cruel side, don’t you?”
“I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Yeah, right. I saw you close it fast on purpose.”
“Haha. Did I?”
Hyunjin shrugged and smiled.
But there was a bitterness in his eyes.
Yoo-hyun left the conference room with Hyunjin and went to a nearby cafe.
It was best to drink something cold at times like this.
Hyunjin held an iced americano full of ice in his hand and shrugged his shoulders as if he still couldn’t believe it.
His phone with the battery removed was on the table.
“This is ridiculous.”
“Don’t mind them. There are all kinds of people in the world.”
“I thought he was different, though. Actually…”
“Oh?”
Hyunjin told him about his past with Shin Jaecheol.
He was a kind senior who bought him food when he was a poor junior in college, and kept in touch with him frequently.
It was a very common story, but Hyunjin never forgot his gratitude for his senior.
“So even though you gave me a good offer, I wanted to work with my senior if possible.”
“I guess that’s not the case anymore.”
Thud.
Yoo-hyun put his own phone on the table and Hyunjin nodded.
“Yeah. I don’t want to be involved with him anymore.”
“What if he tries to mess with you?”
“I don’t care. I’ll just fight back when that happens.”
Hyunjin could do that easily.
Yoo-hyun chuckled and said,
“But Hyunjin, you have a lot of affection, don’t you?”
“Why? Do I seem like I don’t?”
He didn’t in the past.
Not only to Yoo-hyun, but he also didn’t have any relationship with anyone else.
Maybe his personality changed because of these betrayals?
Yoo-hyun made an unfounded guess and changed the subject.
“Nah. You bought me coffee, so you must have a lot of affection, right?”
Yoo-hyun gave a frivolous answer and Hyunjin shrugged his shoulders again.
He then opened his mouth with a serious expression on his face.
“Yoo-hyun.”
“What?”
“You know how you asked me if I wanted to try going to America before?”
“Yeah.”
“I want to do that.”
Yoo-hyun looked at him in surprise.
“You don’t have to do that because of those guys today.”
“No. I really want to do it. I know it’s shameless, but I need your help one more time.”
Han Sung Electronics’ US branch had a startup support program.
It was a program that selected a few teams every year and supported them for the purpose of investing in Silicon Valley.
All Yoo-hyun could do was to help him apply through Director Shin Nyeongwook.
The rest was up to Hyunjin himself.
And he had to do it in the US.
It wouldn’t be easy, but it would be much better than here if he succeeded.
Yoo-hyun wanted that for him, not for the company, but for his future.
“It won’t be easy.”
“You’ve done so much for me. I can do it.”
“What about your brother?”
“I’m taking him with me. He’s done with his military service, so he’ll make his own way now.”
Hyunjin looked at him with a determined gaze.
It was so strong that he could feel his will.
Yoo-hyun held his hand and said,
“You made a good decision. It’ll be better than here, at least.”
“Thanks. I won’t forget it.”
“It’s nothing. What are friends for?”
“…”
Hyunjin looked at Yoo-hyun silently.
His eyes were full of trust for his friend.
And some time passed.
Yoo-hyun was about to finish his dispatch life in Ulsan.
He had plenty of time already, but as the end of the dispatch approached, he felt like a soldier in his last year.
No one asked him to do anything.
He just spent his time leisurely.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
“Huh?”
He smiled when he saw the caller.
A moment later, at the customer service center in front of Ulsan 4th factory.
There, Yoo-hyun met Hyunjin again after a long time.
He handed him a canned drink from the vending machine and said,
“You didn’t have to come. I could just take a vacation and leave the company.”
“I could come, so what.”
“Did you go to America well?”
“Thanks to you.”
“I heard you passed. Congratulations.”
It was a fact that Yoo-hyun had confirmed through Director Shin Nyeongwook a while ago.
Hyunjin passed the US branch startup support program with excellent results.
That meant he was now able to set up an office in Silicon Valley and work there.
Yoo-hyun was very happy for him, even though he had expected it, because he had some anxiety in his heart.
Hyunjin smiled and replied to Yoo-hyun’s bright smile.
“Thank you, Yoo-hyun.”
“What did I do? Oh, did you check your shares? It’s your company, not Han Sung’s, so make sure you get them.”
“That’s why I came here.”
Hyunjin took out a document from his bag and pushed it to him.
It showed the shares of JK Communications.
Among them, there was a part that caught Yoo-hyun’s eye.
-20% shares, co-founder Han Yoo-hyun.
Yoo-hyun looked confused and said,
“What is this?”
“It’s the shares I’m giving to my partner.”
“Hey, what kind of partner am I?”
“It’s all thanks to you. I couldn’t have done this without you. Just sign it quickly.”
Yoo-hyun laughed incredulously at Hyunjin who was thrusting a pen at him.
He then pushed the document back and said,
“I appreciate your sentiment. But Hyunjin, this is not right. You can pay me back when you succeed.”
“Should I raise it to 30%?”
“Hey, be reasonable.”
Yoo-hyun looked at him dumbfounded and Hyunjin pushed the document again.
He had become too bold after drinking the American water.
“I’m not satisfied with that. So just sign it quickly. I’m a busy person.”
“Hyunjin, your company will be a unicorn in a few years. It will be worth more than a trillion won.”
“So?”
“20% is 200 billion won. Don’t you feel sorry?”
“Why would I? I’ll earn more than that.”
Hyunjin said casually.
Yoo-hyun picked up the pen and smirked.
“Don’t regret it.”
“I won’t regret it. Thank you for being with me.”
“Then consider it an honor. I’ll also give you a gift if you do well.”
“Of course.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled and signed the empty space.
The name of Yoo-hyun was left on the company that would change the landscape of the smartphone market.
And finally.
It was Yoo-hyun’s last day of dispatch at the Ulsan factory.
The conference room on the second floor of the Ulsan factory.
About 50 people from the ultra-high-resolution TF team gathered there and sang along with the applause.
“Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.”
They all sang with bright expressions.
Yoo-hyun stood in front of the table in the center of the conference room and sang along with them, trying to hide his embarrassment.
“Happy birthday dear Han Yoo-hyun. Happy birthday to you.”
“Hoo.”
When Yoo-hyun blew out the candles, congratulations came from everywhere.
“Director Han, happy birthday.”
“Director, congratulations.”
“It’s funny that your birthday is on the last day of dispatch.”
“If your birthday was on the first day of dispatch, we wouldn’t have been able to treat you well. You’re lucky.”
Among them, the last words of Director Maeng Giyong caught Yoo-hyun’s ears.
Last year, and this year.
He received unexpected big celebrations from two different teams.
If the date had been slightly different, he wouldn’t have had this opportunity.
He spontaneously expressed his thoughts as words.
“That’s true. I’m really lucky.”
Yoo-hyun smiled brightly and Senior Min Sujin handed him a gift.
“It’s from all of us in TF team.”
“What is it?”
“Open it up.”
When Yoo-hyun tore off the wrapping paper, there was a rather expensive brand bag inside.
Senior Min Sujin added another word.
“I chose it because I thought it would suit you. There’s a warranty and a receipt inside, so you can refund it if you don’t like it.”
“No way. I can’t do that. Thank you very much.”
Yoo-hyun looked around and thanked them.
Director Kim Hogul came out and reached out to Yoo-hyun.
“We’re more grateful to you.”
“I learned more from being here.”
“If you think so, we’re very thankful.”
Director Kim Hogul smiled and people came up one by one next to him.
“Let me know if you need any help anytime.”
Yoo-hyun obediently nodded at Director Maeng Giyong’s words.
“Yes. Of course. I’ll come down often if there’s any problem.”
Then Director Jeong Inwook joked next to him.
“I’m scared when you say that?”
“You’re doing well, aren’t you?”
Yoo-hyun didn’t take it as a joke either.
Then Senior Kim Seondong, who had been hesitating, opened his arms.
He had changed a lot too.
“Director Han, I learned so much from you.”
“No, I learned more from you, senior.”
Yoo-hyun hugged him back and answered.
He let go of his arms and looked around.
The people he had a deep connection with, and the people he had a light connection with from other places.
He greeted them all warmly.
“Thank you for everything.”
That’s how Yoo-hyun’s dispatch life in Ulsan came to an end.
