Real Man

Chapter 400:

He was revealing his true intentions like this?

This was even worse than the former sales team manager Lee Kyung-hoon.

It was very easy for Yoo-hyun to manipulate such a person who relied on his authority and acted recklessly.

I heard that you will decide on some parts of the integration plan at the next general meeting.

So what?

Well, I was wondering how you could unify your opinions without the development department staff.

Yoo-hyun spoke with a troubled expression, and Team Leader Lee Bon-seok clicked his tongue.

Have you never done a video conference? Just call them when you need them.

Oh, I see. Thank you.

Yoo-hyun clapped his hands, and Team Leader Lee Bon-seok laughed heartily.

Hahaha. Youre so funny, so funny.

Then Ill try to prepare well.

Do as you please, do as you please.

Team Leader Lee Bon-seok waved his hand as if he was annoyed.

The wary expression he had when he first saw him was nowhere to be seen.

Yoo-hyun bowed slightly to Team Leader Lee Bon-seok and turned around.

Assistant Manager Kwon Se-jung stood there with a stunned expression, looking at Yoo-hyun.

Yoo-hyun pulled his arm.

He winked at him as a bonus.

Then, Team Leader Lee Bon-seoks voice rang out from behind.

Hey, Assistant Manager Yoon, are you being pushed around by a guy like that? Huh?

Im s-sorry.

It was obvious that he was saying it for him to hear, so Yoo-hyun lifted the corners of his mouth.

It was a very interesting situation.

Assistant Manager Kwon Se-jung, who returned to his seat, gave a hollow laugh.

Whats in your head, Yoo-hyun?

Whats wrong with that? It worked out as I wanted.

Assistant Manager Jang Joon-sik, who had come over before he knew it, flicked his ears.

Assistant Manager Kwon Se-jung briefly told him the result.

It worked out as Yoo-hyun said. That team leader said to call the development team at the general meeting.

Wow. Youre amazing as always.

Joon-sik, dont overdo it and sit down.

Yoo-hyun gestured and Joon-sik dragged a chair and sat down.

He looked at him with admiration in his eyes, holding a notebook.

Assistant Manager Kwon Se-jung still looked like he couldnt come to his senses.

Yoo-hyun moved his chair forward and sat down facing the two men. He briefly told them the scenario.

As I said, once the video conference starts, youll have no choice but to focus on the opinions of the development department.

Of course. They wont talk nonsense in front of the development team.

Right. So what do we have to do now?

Yoo-hyun asked and Joon-sik raised his hand while taking notes.

Dont we have to prepare some evidence that the development team can accept?

Youre right, Joon-sik. But thats not enough.

This time, Assistant Manager Kwon Se-jung answered.

I dont know about IT, but especially TV is hard.

What is?

The work is completely different, and theres no one from that side. And were the ones who want to change the specs, so they wont give in easily.

Team Leader Lee Bon-seok suggested a video conference with the development department for the same reason.

It was not easy for the mobile team to obtain internal data, and even if they could, there was no way that the development department would accept their opinion to change the specs.

Of course, Yoo-hyun knew that too.

Thats right. Then what should we do?

It would be best to use our connections, but I dont think that will work.

Why?

Theyre against it from the group leader level. Unless you have a golden connection, the development department wont budge.

Assistant Manager Kwon Se-jung hit the nail on the head again.

Yoo-hyun put down his thumb with a smirk.

As expected of Assistant Manager Kwon. You got the right answer.

What? What are you talking about?

Youre right. We need a golden connection for this job.

Huh? You couldnt even persuade the business manager. Do you have a higher connection than that? Is the president your brother or something?

Assistant Manager Kwon Se-jung made a dumbfounded expression and Yoo-hyun pointed his index finger down.

No. A connection doesnt have to go up. It can also go down.

What is that?

Yoo-hyun squinted one eye at Assistant Manager Kwon Se-jung who asked in surprise.

Just watch.

Then he picked up his phone and searched for a contact.

Senior Engineer Kim Ho-geol.

A pleasant acquaintance he met at the Ulsan factory.

The name of the person was on the phone screen.

He pressed the call button and the call was connected in a few seconds.

Hello, Senior Engineer Kim. Long time no see.

Yoo-hyuns voice rang out cheerfully.

The Apple new factory started operating and the position of the ultra-high-resolution TF became higher.

The TF, which started with a handful of people, had grown to the size of a decent manager level.

The scale of the projects they were in charge of was also considerable.

They were in charge of both OLED and LCD, and because they were in charge of ultra-high-resolution, they were also involved in IT tablets.

In addition, they applied the SLC technology to TV and had a significant connection with the TV group.

The leader of such an organization started to move himself after talking to Yoo-hyun.

And.

The results began to appear one by one.

Yes, sir. Thank you so much for your kind words.

Thud.

Joon-sik hung up the landline phone and came straight to Yoo-hyuns seat.

There was a full smile on his mouth, which was only stiff.

They said they would send us the data from IT and TV teams as well. They said they have friends in other groups and they would check it out for us.

Wow, thats very proactive. Who was in charge?

Yoo-hyun asked and Joon-sik said proudly.

It was Senior Engineer Lee Jin-mok. He praised you for having a good junior.

Geez. He must have had something good happen to him.

Yoo-hyun made an awkward expression and Assistant Manager Kwon Se-jung next to him asked in surprise.

What did you do in Ulsan?

I just worked hard.

Is that how you get them to find and send you data?

Its a world where we help each other.

When Yoo-hyun casually said that, Deputy Kwon Se-jung looked gloomy.

I was trying to catch him when I contacted him.

Lets do the data sorting for the development department when we see it coming.

Yes. I understand.

Junsik, do you know what you have to do now?

Yoo-hyun pointed at the clock subtly, but Jang Junsik didnt get it.

He gave the same answer as he always did.

I have to prepare in advance before the data arrives.

Wrong. Its time to go home now.

What? But theres still a general meeting.

Yoo-hyun explained logically to the flustered Jang Junsik.

Junsik, you cant have creative ideas if you only work.

Huh?

Look at Deputy Kwon. He had some flashes of inspiration after watching a play with me.

Jang Junsik pondered for a moment and nodded.

There is some truth to that.

What? Really?

Deputy Kwon Se-jung looked incredulous at the absurd logic, but Yoo-hyun continued his explanation.

His expression was utterly serious.

Yes. Were not going home just because we like it.

Then why?

We need to have various experiences and rest to increase our creativity. Thats why the company set the working hours. Its also for that reason.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung blinked his eyes at the ridiculous argument.

On the other hand, Jang Junsik looked as if he had discovered a great secret.

Oh, so thats why there are regulations.

Yes. Junsik, youve laid the foundation now, so you need to learn creativity.

Did I really lay the foundation?

Of course. Youre enough. So lets start practicing from today. Got it?

Yoo-hyun persuaded him step by step, and eventually, the naive Jang Junsik gave in.

Yes, sir. Ill try my best.

Geez.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung snorted at the illogical reasoning.

Then, the quitting song played at a good timing.

Shuffling.

Yoo-hyun packed his stuff and Jang Junsik followed suit, leaving Deputy Kwon Se-jung no choice.

At first, it was awkward, but he got used to it and didnt feel uncomfortable with the stares from behind the partitions.

Deputy Yoon Byung-kwan glared at the three of them.

Theyve prepared enough already, right? Just wait and see. Ill show you what proper preparation is.

He clenched his teeth and shouted at his team members.

Dont mess around and check the email I just sent. Then sort everything out again right away.

Sigh.

The TV team members sighed softly at their bosss email sent right before quitting time.

Whether they made noise or not, Yoo-hyun walked out leisurely.

It started from that day.

Jang Junsik didnt just sit at his desk and work, but spent time with Yoo-hyun.

He often encountered things that clashed with his values, but he let them go.

He wanted to learn from his respected senior first.

A few days later, it was lunchtime.

The three of them quickly finished their meal and moved to a new place.

Manager, Ive updated the development schedule for the TV team. And

Jang Joon-shik, who was lying down with his arms stretched out, showed his face between his legs and said. Yoo-hyun frowned.

Joon-shik, its weird to talk like that with your butt sticking out.

Oh, sorry.

At Yoo-hyuns words, Jang Joon-shik pulled his butt back.

He was the only one who had his back bent backwards, so Yoo-hyun corrected him.

Just dont talk at all.

Then Jang Joon-shik closed his mouth while maintaining the same posture.

Kwon Se-jung, the deputy manager who was lying next to him, sighed.

Yoo-hyun, do we really have to do this?

It was right then.

A clanging voice came from the front.

Hey, you three men in the back who are talking, stand up and show yourselves.

There were more than 30 people gathered here, but it was obvious who the three were referring to.

Yes.

As Yoo-hyun stood up from his seat, he saw a poster on the front wall.

<In-house Yoga Observation Class>

He wished he hadnt seen the notice board.

He shouldnt have asked Jang Joon-shik to sign up for him instead.

He should have enjoyed this moment, but he didnt.

The eyes of many female employees who turned their heads kept shaking Yoo-hyuns determination.

They were the only ones wearing blue T-shirts instead of pink T-shirts in this place.

The yoga instructor in front clapped her hands and said.

Ill do it separately for you three. Now, put your palms under your toes.

Under everyones gaze, Yoo-hyun followed the movement he had repeated countless times.

Yoga was supposed to be good for mental stability, but it was all a lie.

It required tremendous flexibility and stamina.

Turn your body sideways with your feet stretched back into a side plank.

Yoo-hyun supported his body with only his left palm and the outside of his left foot on the mat.

Clap clap.

Stretch your other hand to the ceiling and spread your legs as much as possible.

It was killing him to lift his right leg and stretch his right arm to the sky in this position.

Shake shake shake.

Thud.

Right in front of Yoo-hyun, Kwon Se-jung, who was in the same position, collapsed and rolled on the floor.

Well, you cant talk like that if you cant even hold this pose.

Hahaha.

Along with the instructors sarcasm, laughter erupted from everywhere.

Yoo-hyun closed his eyes tightly.

He couldnt bear to look at his colleague who had strongly discouraged him from applying for the yoga class. He vowed to himself in his heart.

Lets not do yoga.

At least not at work.

Apart from choosing yoga wrongly, the three of them had a very different day than before.

Was it because the busiest people became the most relaxed?

The team atmosphere that had been tense naturally eased up a lot.

Despite that, visible results were piling up.
