Chapter 336:
Chapter 336
The root cause of the problem was not Jang Jun-sik’s rigid attitude.
There was a force that deliberately disparaged Jang Jun-sik behind the scenes.
But it was too late to undo the damage.
It was meaningless to clear up the misunderstanding now.
Yoo-hyun suggested a clear plan to Jang Jun-sik, who was still bowing his head.
“Fine. There’s no need to make a scene here. Instead, show them your skills.”
“…”
Jang Jun-sik finally lifted his head.
The senior he wanted to learn from and emulate had extended his hand again for his sake, who was so lacking.
“Jun-sik, you just need to win with your skills.”
“Yes. I understand.”
He felt the will of his senior in his words.
He nodded his head as if he had received an irresistible order.
His eyes sparkled.
A few days later.
A meeting of practitioners from sales, marketing, and product planning teams was held.
The biggest issue of the day was the news of Ilseong Electronics that had come out recently.
<Ilseong Electronics launches the world’s first OLED phone. Who is the winner of LCD vs OLED?>
After Ilseong Electronics launched a phone with an OLED panel, they produced derivative articles every day.
The market naturally focused on the OLED and LCD showdown.
It was an unavoidable issue for Hansung as well.
Therefore, people from each team who were related to this part gathered in the conference room.
It was a large-scale meeting, so the team leaders also attended.
From the product planning team, Deputy Manager Choi Min-hee, Yoo-hyun, and Jang Jun-sik were present.
There was a buzzing sound from here and there, as if they thought Jang Jun-sik didn’t belong there.
Regardless, Jang Jun-sik, who had taken his seat in the conference room early, greeted each senior who came in.
“Hello.”
“Huh. You feel like greeting now?”
Of course, there were also seniors from the marketing team among them.
“I look forward to working with you.”
He didn’t flinch at the sarcastic response and bowed his head.
Choi Min-hee and Yoo-hyun looked at Jang Jun-sik with a calm expression.
The meeting was led by the marketing team, who raised this agenda.
On the screen on the wall were the plans that the marketing team was preparing.
“As a countermeasure against Ilseong’s OLED panel, the marketing team proposes…”
Lee Jong-min, a senior in the marketing team, continued his presentation with evidence.
It aroused people’s curiosity as he mentioned something unexpected.
Questions also came up from here and there.
“So OLED’s blue light is harmful to humans?”
Deputy Manager Sung Woong-jin, the team leader, answered on behalf of the question.
“Yes. This is confirmed by the research results of the chief professor of art therapy.”
Then, people from the sales team praised Deputy Manager Sung Woong-jin.
“Haha. If Deputy Manager Sung says so himself, then the evidence must be accurate.”
“Not bad, right? The marketing team has a good vision.”
“The mobile phone division will also like this content.”
There was no criticism at all.
It was as if they had gathered to compliment the marketing team’s preparation.
Deputy Manager Sung Woong-jin confidently enjoyed his position.
Of course, the three representatives of the product planning team had different thoughts.
Jang Jun-sik, who had been listening, asked Yoo-hyun.
“Senior, isn’t that part wrong?”
“You managed to hold back and not say anything right away.”
“I learned that I have to get permission from my superiors in this situation.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled at Jang Jun-sik’s changed attitude.
Then he looked at Deputy Manager Choi Min-hee.
Deputy Manager Choi Min-hee gestured with her hand.
It meant to do as he pleased.
Yoo-hyun kindly explained to Jang Jun-sik, who didn’t understand.
“The team leader gave you permission. Do it as you think.”
“Yes. I understand.”
Jang Jun-sik raised his hand with a sharp look in his eyes.
“By designating OLED as a harmful display for teenagers using these weaknesses of OLED…”
It was after Deputy Manager Sung Woong-jin’s confident explanation ended.
Jang Jun-sik raised his hand among people who were nodding their heads.
“I have a question.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Jang Jun-sik at once.
They had expressions that said he was starting again.
Deputy Manager Sung Woong-jin, who had a lot of resentment towards Jang Jun-sik, frowned.
“Huh. What is it?”
“Marketing that unilaterally negates OLED is not a good method.”
“Do you care about marketing these days?”
Deputy Manager Sung Woong-jin’s gaze turned to Deputy Manager Choi Min-hee.
He blatantly showed his intention not to deal with someone like Jang Jun-sik.
Then, Jang Jun-sik continued.
“First of all, your claim is wrong from the beginning. The blue light of 415-455 nanometer wavelength, which is known to be harmful among the total visible light…”
It was the content that Yoo-hyun had told him to make.
Jang Jun-sik used that content to refute Deputy Manager Sung Woong-jin’s claim one by one.
He didn’t just deny it, but he presented solid evidence.
Deputy Manager Sung Woong-jin’s face turned red and blue as he snapped.
“You, are you out of your mind? Where did you hear such nonsense?”
The atmosphere in the conference room became tense.
It was normal to back off at this point in corporate life.
Jang Jun-sik used to do that too.
He knew it was wrong, but he couldn’t argue back and bowed his head.
Especially, Deputy Manager Sung Woong-jin was a scary boss who harassed Jang Jun-sik persistently.
He was afraid to open his mouth just by looking at his face.
But not anymore.
Jang Jun-sik clenched his fist as he felt the gaze of his respected senior.
“We are also building an OLED factory and will soon make test products. This negative claim could hinder the ongoing OLED project.”
“So you want us to just lose to Ilseong’s OLED? Are you kidding me right now?”
“No, I think it would be better to emphasize the advantages of LCD over other technologies. First of all, the resolution aspect should be highlighted…”
Jang Junsik tried to offer an alternative instead of just criticizing.
His reasoning was also concrete and persuasive.
The eyes of the people who were listening changed slightly.
‘How does he know that?’
‘That’s a pretty good idea, isn’t it?’
‘I think it would be good to quote that when I’m selling.’
In that atmosphere, Jang Junsik continued to speak without losing his tempo.
His speech was somewhat fast but accurate, and his confident expression had the power to lead the mood.
“And if you want to promote the blue light feature, you could also try to get an eco-friendly certification for LCD. This is what we did in our last project…”
As he went on, Seong Woongjin’s face became more annoyed.
He felt like he was being pushed by a newbie, and he wanted to break the situation right away.
But he couldn’t do that because the meeting room was too biased towards Jang Junsik.
Ugh.
Seong Woongjin could only grind his teeth.
Seeing that, Choi Minhee covered her mouth with her hand and whispered to Yoo Hyun.
“Junsik did a great job against Han.”
“I’m not that stupid.”
“No, you look the same to me.”
“Really?”
She said casually, but Yoo Hyun was also surprised.
Jang Junsik managed to handle the situation that could have gone wrong in a moment with a sense of tension.
It was the result of his usual goofy image and unexpected expertise.
Choi Minhee stepped in when she thought it was time to wrap up.
It was the moment that Seong Woongjin was waiting for. Her stern voice echoed in the room.
“That’s enough, Junsik.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Jang Junsik stopped right away as if he had said everything he wanted to say.
At that moment, Choi Minhee apologized to Seong Woongjin.
“Sir, I think Junsik had a lot to say because he prepared a lot.”
“Ha. Choi, what are you trying to do?”
“He’s still new and doesn’t know the atmosphere well. Please understand with a generous heart.”
Choi Minhee was so humble that Seong Woongjin had nothing to say.
He looked around and smiled bitterly.
“You have to make all the things you said into evidence documents.”
“Yes. Of course. Junsik, you heard that, right? You have to take responsibility for what you said.”
“I understand.”
Jang Junsik nodded his head, and Choi Minhee lightened the mood again.
“Sir, then let’s settle this part for now. Thank you for your consideration.”
“…”
Seong Woongjin had no choice but to swallow his anger at Choi Minhee’s skillful exit strategy.
It would have been weird if he had gotten angry at this point.
Thanks to that, Jang Junsik, who was running like a runaway train, stopped safely without any accident.
If not?
Even if he had said the right thing, he would have been smashed for being rude as an employee.
It may seem strange, but that was also part of the company life.
The leader filled in the gap that Jang Junsik had not realized.
Yoo Hyun gave her a thumbs up from an angle that others couldn’t see.
Choi Minhee’s lips curled up slightly.
After the meeting ended,
Choi Minhee walked with Seong Woongjin to melt his resentment.
Meanwhile, Yoo Hyun came out of the meeting room first.
Jang Junsik followed him with a nervous expression.
He hesitated for a moment and apologized to Yoo Hyun.
“I’m sorry, sir.”
“What are you sorry for?”
“Well, I didn’t know the topic and spoke up at today’s meeting.”
Yoo Hyun stopped and looked at Jang Junsik.
He was shrinking his shoulders as if they didn’t suit him.
“Can you just live quietly in the company?”
“I don’t know.”
Yoo Hyun knew that Jang Junsik was not someone who could do that.
He didn’t want him to give up everything and live by inertia either.
He chuckled and patted his shoulder.
“Just do what you want. As long as you don’t make any big mistakes, your teammates will help you. Just like how the manager bowed her head for you.”
“…”
“That’s what a team is, and that’s what a company is.”
“Team.”
He muttered to himself with a blank expression. Yoo Hyun said to him,
“Yeah. Junsik, you’re not alone. That’s all you need to know.”
“Sir, thank you very much.”
“Thank the manager.”
Thump.
Yoo Hyun tapped Jang Junsik’s shoulder and turned around.
He didn’t move until he heard two steps.
He bowed his head as if he couldn’t control his emotions.
He turned around and said to him.
“Thanks to you, we were able to fix it before it got bigger.”
“…”
“Junsik, you did well.”
“Thank… you. Thank you very much.”
Jang Junsik’s voice echoed loudly.
He wiped his eyes with his white shirt and quickly closed the gap with Yoo Hyun.
The distance between the two became closer than before.
“Get away, man.”
Yoo Hyun tried to push him away, but he stuck closer.
Jang Junsik, who had defeated Seong Woongjin with his own power, took another step forward.
He was not afraid to ask for advice from his teammates to grow.
He learned by listening to his seniors’ words.
He also took the initiative and approached them first.
He still had some clumsy sides, but it was a change that could be called a transformation.
The teammates who were skeptical also accepted him one by one.
That’s how Jang Junsik quickly blended into the team.
