Real Man

Chapter 483:

Shin Nak-kyun, the deputy who had finished the calculations in a relatively short time, confronted Yoo-hyun aggressively.

“So what do you want me to do?”

“What do you mean, what do I want? You have to do it.”

“If we’re going to fail anyway, I’d rather drop out early.”

“Same here.”

Yoo-hyun gave an unexpected answer to the predictable and bland remark.

For a moment, Shin Nak-kyun’s eyes widened in surprise.

“What?”

“If you want to quit, I don’t mind.”

“What do you mean…”

Yoo-hyun pressed on with more force against the flustered Shin Nak-kyun.

“Just try to sort out the work until the first meeting. If you follow me well, I’ll let you go for sure.”

“How can you guarantee that?”

“This project will be officially reported by the manager. I’ll make sure to distinguish your role clearly.”

“And then?”

“If you work hard but the result is not good, isn’t it all the leader’s responsibility?”

Yoo-hyun offered a narrow escape route to Shin Nak-kyun, who was cornered.

He had no choice but to look ahead.

Shin Nak-kyun, who had been fumbling around, seemed to have made a cold decision and agreed to the deal.

“Just until the first meeting.”

“Okay. I’ll give you a list of tasks, so be prepared. It won’t be easy.”

“What’s the big deal? Don’t worry about me and just do your own work.”

Shin Nak-kyun snorted at Yoo-hyun’s request and turned away.

Yoo-hyun chuckled at his consistent attitude.

Shin Nak-kyun left, and then Park Geun-deok, the section chief, came over.

It was unusual for him, who had never even looked at Yoo-hyun before.

Park Geun-deok, who had a broad face and deep wrinkles, snorted through his nostrils.

“You’re taking over my Spain project?”

“Yes. It was the team leader’s order.”

“Do you even know what kind of project it is? Do you know how much I cared about it…”

He was furious, but Yoo-hyun didn’t back down.

He could see his ulterior motive clearly, and he had no reason to put up with it. freёwebnovel.com

“I’m sorry. If that’s the case, I’ll switch to another project.”

“What did you say?”

“I thought it would be better to take the China battery factory investment project anyway.”

Yoo-hyun’s words made Park Geun-deok’s eyes waver.

He was trying to get some sympathy by pretending to be generous, but he might end up losing the golden opportunity he had stumbled upon.

He quickly changed his stance.

“No, no. You can’t change what’s already decided.”

“It’s okay. The manager said I can tell him anytime.”

“No, it’s fine. I’ll upload the handover documents to the team folder, so you can take over right away.”

Park Geun-deok turned his body without even listening to Yoo-hyun’s next words.

Yoo-hyun clicked his tongue as he watched his footsteps, which were twice as fast as when he came.

“Tsk, tsk. He’s so cunning for his level.”

Why were they all like that, when they were all smart and talented people?

They were so blinded by greed that they couldn’t see an inch ahead, and they were scrambling around.

Yoo-hyun was amused by their pathetic appearance.

He was thinking of Park Geun-deok’s pitiful face when it happened.

Maybe he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to pass on the project, but Park Geun-deok sent the handover documents right away.

Yoo-hyun glanced over them and found that they were useless.

The few documents that were there were all outdated and needed to be reorganized.

“It’s okay, I can start from scratch.”

He muttered casually, but in fact, this was what Yoo-hyun was best at.

When he made the color phone, when he changed the Ulsan factory, the task list that went through Yoo-hyun’s hands was the core.

This project was much more difficult than those, but making the task list was easier.

He only had to consider one person, instead of dividing the work among several people.

Yoo-hyun thought of the one person who would take the work and typed quickly on the keyboard.

Tadadadadak.

In less than ten minutes, he had listed all the tasks that needed to be done to reach the first meeting.

There were some parts that needed to be polished, but he had included all the essentials.

Yoo-hyun didn’t hesitate to attach this content and send an email.

The recipient was, of course, Shin Nak-kyun.

Soon after, Shin Nak-kyun came over with a paper in his hand, making a fuss.

He had even printed it out and ran over, showing how annoyed he was.

“What the hell is this?”

“Have you never seen a task list? Just do as it says. Oh, you’ll have to get the latest data from each subsidiary, so the time might be tight.”

“So you’re telling me to do all this?”

On the paper that Shin Nak-kyun waved, there were more than a hundred tasks packed together.

The schedule was divided into hours, and it looked like it would be hard to keep up even with two bodies.

Yoo-hyun tilted his head at Shin Nak-kyun, who was fuming.

“Can’t you do it? You said it was nothing, right?”

“…”

“Or is there something useless here? I don’t think so.”

“…”

“Sorry. I guess I overestimated your level. If you can’t do it, just say so. I’ll reduce it for you.”

Yoo-hyun provoked his pride one after another, and Shin Nak-kyun, who had been silent, snorted.

“When did I say I can’t do it? I’ll make sure to mark the tasks I’ve done as promised.”

“Of course you should.”

“I did the work, so I’ll report it to the manager myself.”

“That’s fine. Go ahead.”

Yoo-hyun nodded as if he didn’t care.

When Yoo-hyun acted so casually, Shin Nak-kyun looked at him suspiciously and answered with a clenched paper.

“Let me try.”

“Make sure you keep the deadlines for each task. And I’ll point out any flaws right away, so keep that in mind.”

“Don’t worry about me.”

Shin Nak-kyun ticked and returned to his seat.

“He’s so easy to handle.”

Yoo-hyun smiled as he watched him.

He knew Shin Nak-kyun well.

Shin Nak-kyun was a promising talent who joined the group strategy office right after graduating from college.

His specs before joining were comparable to anyone else in the external strategy team.

He was also very confident in his work.

He stayed up all night to do the tasks on Yoo-hyun’s list.

He was already furious, and the staff at the Hansung Energy Research Institute annoyed him with their frustrating answers on the phone.

-The document I sent you reflects the opinion of Deputy Manager Park Geun-deok. He clearly said that…

Before he could finish his sentence, Shin Nak-kyun, an assistant manager who was usually impatient, bit his tongue. He knew that if he argued with him, he would waste more time.

Ding.

A chat window popped up on his monitor.

At the same time, a shocking message appeared in the chat room connected to Yoo-hyun.

-Review the figures on pages 12 and 13 of the Hansung Energy report. Update the polysilicon yield of Hansung Chemical. Deadline: 13:00.

As soon as he saw the message, Shin Nak-kyun cursed.

“This is crazy.”

-Ah, Assistant Manager Shin, I’m sorry. The person in charge changed, and I guess I talked about the old stuff. I’ll upload the solar cell data as soon as possible.

He heard the tense voice of the other person over the phone.

Shin Nak-kyun sighed and replied coldly.

“Team Leader Choi, we don’t have time, so please update me on today’s work.”

-Yes. I understand.

Click.

Shin Nak-kyun hung up the phone and turned his head to Yoo-hyun.

At that moment, he saw a new message added to the chat window.

-Need to confirm the person in charge of Narutal Power. Check for any missing information as well. (Attached file: Work progress)

He checked the attached file and saw red lines under the missing work by time.

He could understand that, but he couldn’t stand the harsh comments next to the work he had done overnight.

“This is why it’s like this?”

Shin Nak-kyun clenched his teeth and approached Yoo-hyun.

Yoo-hyun got up before Shin Nak-kyun could get angry and raised his voice first.

“How do you expect to do your job like this?”

“What did you say?”

“You uploaded the Hansung Energy and Hansung Chemical data without checking them, right?”

Shin Nak-kyun’s face turned red as he remembered the red pen marks.

“I checked them. I’ll fix the numbers…”

“It’s not just the numbers that are wrong. Do you know how big the solar cells are for the power plant in Spain?”

“50 megawatts.”

“Then how many solar cells are there? How many modules are there? What’s the efficiency?”

“…”

“How can you control the other subsidiaries without knowing that? Are you kidding me?”

Yoo-hyun raised his voice and the people passing by looked at them.

They all wanted to say something, but they couldn’t because he was right.

In the oppressive atmosphere, Shin Nak-kyun couldn’t help but snap.

“Did you say I’m kidding?”

Yoo-hyun stepped closer and glared at Shin Nak-kyun.

“Are you not kidding? You just sent an email to the company and you’re sucking your fingers?”

“What did you say?”

“What did you learn at the Group Strategy Office? How can you do this without the basics?”

“…”

“Don’t you feel ashamed? Frankly, my junior from a local university is much better than you.”

Yoo-hyun didn’t lie and just told the truth, but Shin Nak-kyun’s mind wasn’t ready to accept it.

He trembled with the humiliation he had never experienced before.

“How dare you…”

He had a lot to pay back, but the work was more important now.

Yoo-hyun gave him a carrot along with the whip before he gave up.

“I set the report date for next week. I put your name on the report, so take responsibility and do it.”

“…”

“If you can’t do it, go talk to the team leader. I’ll take you out.”

He had to give a valid reason to get out of the report list.

He realized that his ankles were firmly tied, but he couldn’t complain because he said he would do it himself.

“Damn it.”

Shin Nak-kyun turned around with bloodshot eyes.

Behind him, Yoo-hyun said one more thing.

“We don’t have time.”

“Ugh.”

Shin Nak-kyun sat down at his desk and started typing furiously.

Tadadadadak.

Yoo-hyun leaned back in his chair and smiled.

As Yoo-hyun’s voice got louder, there was a lot of talk in the team.

The more they did, the more they ignored Yoo-hyun.

They didn’t even greet him in the first place, but now they didn’t even look at him when they passed by.

It was the same now, when they were talking at the water cooler.

“Did you hear that the Internal Strategy Team got screwed?”

“You mean the strike at the Wonju factory of Hansung Precision?”

“Yeah. They might have to mediate that kind of crap.”

“They’re already annoyed by the Innovation Strategy Office. Tsk tsk…”

When Yoo-hyun approached, the team members stopped talking and disappeared.

Yoo-hyun didn’t care about the atmosphere at all.

He was more interested in the conversation he had heard earlier.

“A strike at the Wonju factory…”

He poured some water from the cooler and drank it, then logged into the shared folder of the strategy team.

He had completely mastered the method that Shin Nak-kyun had taught him, so he could easily access the data of the next team, the Internal Strategy Team.

He skimmed through the contents and backed up the data, then closed the window.

It was enough to confirm that it existed for now.

He had to deal with the work that was right in front of him first.

He put his mind to it and called Shin Nak-kyun loudly.

“Assistant Manager Shin, come here.”

“…”

Yoo-hyun smiled as he stared at him silently.

He had a lot more work to do for him.
