Real Man

Chapter 395:

Tick.

As Yoo-hyun pressed the button for the basement floor in the elevator, Kwon Se-jung, his deputy, asked in surprise.

Why are we going to the basement? Its not lunch time.

Were going to the health center.

Isnt it too early for the health checkup? Oh, are you getting some medicine?

Yoo-hyun shook his head at Kwon Se-jungs impatient words.

Youre so narrow-minded.

What do you mean by that?

I mean, its a warm gesture to take care of your colleague.

What are you talking about since earlier?

Kwon Se-jung had no idea what Yoo-hyun meant.

He didnt realize it until he entered the health center and picked up a pen on the table.

When he saw the document that Yoo-hyun handed him, his eyes widened.

What? Massage? Hey, were working right now. Why do you need a massage chair?

The health center closes when work is over. When else can we use it? The company provided it for us to use.

Wheres the logic in that? Hey, and youre in charge of the integration plan. You have a mountain of things to sort out for tomorrows meeting.

Kwon Se-jung spat out his words with resentment.

He vented out the pressure and bitterness he had accumulated.

Regardless, Yoo-hyun had said everything he wanted to say.

Lets talk about it now. While getting a massage.

Yoo-hyun pointed at the document that said massage chair user confirmation.

Kwon Se-jung read Yoo-hyuns sincerity in his eyes and closed his own.

The deed was done, and he had to tell Yoo-hyun what he had done so far for the integration plan.

He compromised internally, but he still felt uneasy.

That feeling came out as a murmur from his mouth as he signed.

What if we get caught doing this during work hours?

People who go out to smoke take at least 20 minutes. We dont smoke, so its fine.

Sigh. You talk big. Do you think other people will understand that?

Enough, lets go. We have to get in now if we want to fill up 30 minutes.

Yoo-hyun wanted to save every second.

A moment later.

A loud noise filled the dark room.

Drrrrrrrrr.

Yoo-hyun closed his eyes and felt the movement of the massage chair.

It felt good to have every part of his body pressed.

He felt like he could fall asleep like this.

As Yoo-hyuns consciousness faded, he heard Kwon Se-jungs voice from behind the curtain.

So, what we decided to do is logo marketing. We give our customers a certification logo if they use our panel. Like Intel CPU. Yoo-hyun, are you listening?

Yeah. I already know the details. I checked the data and heard the opinions from other teams.

Yoo-hyun answered like he was sleep-talking.

His voice was so low that Kwon Se-jung raised his voice.

Right. But mobile is not a problem. Its all Apple-centered. IT also has Apple tablets and monitors, so some negotiation is possible. The laptop negotiation is tricky, but they already have stickers on them, so it should be fine. But TV is

Kwon Se-jung stopped in mid-sentence as he felt a sudden anxiety.

There was no sound when he expected a question.

Yoo-hyun.

Han deputy, are you there?

He asked just in case, but there was no answer.

The only sound in the quiet room was from the massage chair.

The massage chair stopped for a moment to change modes.

Snoreeeeee.

He heard a breathing sound in the silence and covered his face with his palm.

Sigh. I dont know either.

There were four months left until the next iPhone launch.

It was physically impossible to make all products with retina display by then.

The standard for retina display itself was vague anyway.

Kwon Se-jung was anxious.

Yoo-hyun seemed to understand and opened his mouth slowly.

So, what youre saying is, you want to have different standards for each product. I agree with that part. You did a great job preparing for it.

Yeah. Thats right, but do we have to talk about it here?

Silence.

Yoo-hyun put down the barbell he was holding and answered.

Whats wrong with going to the gym at lunchtime?

Thats not what I mean. We have a lot of things to decide right now. We dont have time.

Hey, relax a bit at lunchtime. Isnt this place nice?

Yoo-hyun said that and looked around.

There were treadmills and various exercise machines lined up in front of the full-length mirror.

This place, the fitness center, was almost free for employees. They also provided simple sportswear and towels.

The shower facilities were also available, so it seemed okay to use them in the morning or after work.

Yoo-hyun smiled contentedly, and Kwon Se-jung, his colleague, clicked his tongue.

Its nice, but thats not the problem. Why did you come here now?

Dont worry. I came here because I have an idea.

Are you sure you have an idea?

Of course. Sure. If you do ten pull-ups like you said before, Ill tell you.

Yoo-hyun winked, and Kwon Se-jung looked at the pull-up bar hanging above him.

-Se-jung, can you exercise?

That was what Yoo-hyun asked him after he finished using the massage chair.

He got angry and said he was good at pull-ups.

Thats why he had a quick sandwich for lunch and came here.

Kwon Se-jung stretched out his arm and exerted his strength.

One.

Just one, and he couldnt even lift his chin properly before his strength gave out.

He accepted the reality and nodded.

Okay. You must have an idea too, Yoo-hyun.

Are you done?

Well. I dont think I need to hear it right now.

Kwon Se-jung answered with an embarrassed expression and quietly went to the treadmill.

But he couldnt last long with his poor stamina either.

A little later, in the lobby coffee shop on the first floor.

Yoo-hyun was sitting at a table in the newly opened place with female employees.

He ignored Kwon Se-jungs dissatisfied gaze next to him and spoke.

I went to the gym a while ago.

Jomiran, his colleague, nodded and asked after hearing Yoo-hyuns explanation.

She was promoted last year and moved to TF at the same time as Kwon Se-jung. She was now in mobile team 2 part.

Its nice to exercise there. Have you seen the pilates room next to it?

No. I havent seen it.

They teach yoga and pilates there. You should try it sometime. The instructor is quite famous.

As expected. Thank you for the good information.

Youre welcome. I learned it from Eunrin too.

Yoo-hyun gave her a thumbs up, and Jomiran waved her hand.

Yuhemi, who was listening to the conversation next to them, asked.

She moved from the sales team first and was now the leader of 2 part.

Why do you look so gloomy, Kwon?

Oh, its nothing.

Kwon Se-jung answered and recalled his conversation with Yoo-hyun earlier.

-Se-jung, work is not something that you can do by yourself. You have to meet people too.

-Why do you have to go to the lobby coffee shop? There are a lot of people passing by there. Its awkward. What are you going to do if other team members see us?

-The coffee is cheap and delicious.

Kwon Se-jung lost his words at Yoo-hyuns absurd answer.

In the meantime, he had an iced americano in his hand, and across from him were 2 part members he had hardly seen before.

There must be a reason. Yeah. There must be a reason.

But Kwon Se-jung didnt give up hope.

Unlike 1 part, which was in charge of developing concepts, 2 part was a department that ran around and contacted customers.

Lee Chanho and Hwang Dongsik went on a business trip today to hear the voice of customers related to logo marketing.

There must be a reason why he met with 2 part members.

Maybe he wanted to come up with a brilliant solution through customer feedback.

The colleague he knew as Yoo-hyun was such an outstanding person.

But.

Kwon Se-jungs hope shrank as Yoo-hyuns words continued.

If you ask me what Yeontae-ri is like

Eunrin showed me some blog pictures and it looked really nice. Im thinking of going there this summer.

Let me know when you go. Ill tell you all about the course.

Hoho. Its good to have an expert. Is there a fishing spot too?

Yes. Theres a log cabin there, and you can get anything if you mention my name.

As soon as the log cabin came out, Kwon Se-jung gave up.

First, I will use one of my internal tools to translate your text from Korean to English. Then, I will edit the text for clarity, coherence, and style. Here is the result:

It was obvious that Yoo-hyun was here just to have fun.

No wonder he looked so happy.

Yoo Hye Mi, the team leader who also glanced at the dejected expression of Deputy Kwon Se-jung, opened her mouth.

She was in charge of the team, so she knew exactly what was going on.

But Deputy Han, arent you too calm about the situation?

Its the first day, so what?

Still, youre the one who took charge of this project. Youre bound to face a lot of criticism. Especially from the TV department.

Yoon Byung Kwan, the deputy manager, is such a jerk. He interferes with everything until the end of work hours, even though hes from a different team. And he dumps all the work on us. Five minutes before quitting time.

Following Yoo Hye Mi, Jo Mi Ran also vented her anger.

She seemed to have a lot of pent-up frustration.

Was that so?

He looked furious when I saw him briefly earlier.

Yoo-hyun tilted his head and said.

But he agreed right away when I suggested having a meeting with the staff.

What?

Yoo Hye Mi almost spat out the coffee she was drinking at Yoo-hyuns words.

Jo Mi Ran blinked her eyes and asked.

When is it?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

The two looked at Yoo-hyun incredulously.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung shook his head sympathetically.

The expression of Deputy Kwon Se-jung, who seemed to have given up, changed.

As soon as he returned to the office, he was shocked rather than resigned.

Hey, are you out of your mind? How can you send an email like this?

What? I just gathered the necessary information for tomorrows meeting.

Thats not the point. Lets talk in the conference room.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung got up from his seat and moved quickly.

Yoo-hyun chuckled and said to Jang Jun Sik.

Jun Sik, lets go to the meeting.

Yes, sir.

Jang Jun Sik, who was organizing the data according to Yoo-hyuns direction, got up quickly.

He was exhausted from working non-stop, but he seemed to enjoy working with Yoo-hyun. His face was bright.

A few minutes later, in the small conference room on the 13th floor.

As soon as Deputy Kwon Se-jung sat down, he spat out his words.

Where did you learn to request detailed data an hour before quitting time?

Whats wrong with that? Its exactly 24 hours before the deadline. Right, Jun Sik?

Yes, sir. Our meeting rules are 24 hours notice and data request.

Jang Jun Sik, the rule doctor, nodded his head and Yoo-hyun shrugged his shoulders.

See? Whats the problem? I heard they dump their work on us five minutes before quitting time.

Thats different. Were clearly asking TV and IT for favors. In other words, theyre the bosses.

Theres no boss or subordinate when we work together. We complement each other.

Its not that simple. Even if you follow the rules, theyll be furious. You dont know their personalities.

They are very temperamental people.

Jang Jun Sik, who was listening, agreed with Deputy Kwon Se-jung.

But he didnt challenge Yoo-hyun in any other way.

He felt like he had improved from his old ignorance.

Youve been working hard, Jun Sik.

No, sir.

Yoo-hyun smiled and patted Jang Jun Siks shoulder.
