Real Man

When Yoo-hyun was forecasting the future economic situation, Park Young-hoon asked him.

-Well, investing in places like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, Tesla, and so on is good. But isn’t there a risk in doing options?

“Just use the bonus account. But don’t set the deadline too long, so I can withdraw money whenever I want.”

Park Young-hoon spat out a puzzled voice at Yoo-hyun’s changed attitude.

-But why did you suddenly change like this? Did you get greedy for money?

“What’s wrong with the customer wanting to make money?”

-Come to think of it, you’re right.

“Don’t feel burdened and have fun. I won’t say anything even if you lose.”

-Hehe! I wish I had customers like you.

After exchanging a few more words, Yoo-hyun hung up the phone and recalled Park Young-hoon’s words.

“He said I got greedy for money.”

The current value of his shares in Airbnb and JK Communications alone amounted to tens of billions.

He had no reason to be interested in such trivial money, but the situation had changed.

Due to Shin Kyung-soo’s early appearance, he didn’t know where the situation would go, so he needed to secure funds that could be operated in the short term.

‘I’ll keep this as a backup.’

Yoo-hyun briefly thought of the future and called Hyun Jin Geon on a whim.

He had secured a large office and high-quality personnel through Paul Graham, and was struggling in the US with his younger brother Hyun Jin Soo.

He was still in the office even though it was almost midnight in the US time.

He felt sorry for him for a moment.

-The progress of the main 4G chip design we are developing is…

Yoo-hyun’s mind snapped as he heard Hyun Jin Geon’s voice.

“What? You’ve already progressed that much?”

-Yeah. Jack and Kevin are doing well. If this goes on, we can also develop the additional chip in parallel.

“That’s amazing.”

-Amazing, what? We’re just doing it for fun.

“Fun…”

Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes in disbelief.

They say that a genius can’t beat a hard worker, and a hard worker can’t beat someone who enjoys it.

But Hyun Jin Geon was different.

He was a genius who enjoyed it and worked hard.

As he heard the accelerated progress, Yoo-hyun quickly calculated in his head.

And the result came out of his mouth.

“Jin Geon, when you produce the chip…”

The content that would be the core of Yoo-hyun’s plan in the future was conveyed through the microphone connected to the earphone.

While Yoo-hyun was preparing for the future by avoiding the guard of Lee Joon Il, the team leader.

Time passed and it was the 12th day that Kim Jin Sol, the section chief, mentioned.

Song Hyun Seung, the executive director, gave Yoo-hyun a word of advice before attending the banquet.

“Mr. Han, remember that this is just an experience.”

“I feel like everything is already decided, so I don’t have anything to do.”

“Still, you’re mingling with the personnel in charge of human resources. Don’t pay attention to their sweet talk.”

Who would say such a thing?

It would be a relief if they didn’t ignore him.

Yoo-hyun hid his absurdity and reassured Song Hyun Seung.

“Don’t worry. I’m going to use this experience for the strategy department.”

“Haha! That’s right. That’s a very good attitude.”

“In that sense, I’ll report the contents of the experience to you and share them with the department.”

Song Hyun Seung smiled with satisfaction at Yoo-hyun’s earnest answer.

“You’re one step ahead. Oh, is Kim Jin Sol the section chief your guide?”

“Yes. We’re going to move together.”

“He’s also someone I raised. I told him, so he’ll treat you well.”

“Thank you. Oh, is Kim Jin Sol the section chief from the human resources team 1?”

When Yoo-hyun casually asked, Song Hyun Seung gave the expected answer.

“Is he? Oh, he’s under Baek, the team leader, so he must be.”

As he had already checked, Kim Jin Sol was not Lee Joon Il’s person.

This meant that Lee Joon Il didn’t care about the trivial parts.

Yoo-hyun nodded his head with a sense of relief.

“I see. Then I’ll be back.”

“Come back well. We have a lot to do together in the future.”

Song Hyun Seung seemed to have a lot of hopes, but would they come true?

Yoo-hyun wouldn’t have anything to do with him anymore.

His affiliation would change after this banquet.

This was decided from the moment Yoo-hyun caught Shin Kyung-soo’s eye.

Soon after, Yoo-hyun met Kim Jin Sol in the lobby on the first floor of Hansung Tower.

He was a senior who joined the company much earlier than Yoo-hyun.

He had a sharp chin and deep double eyelids as his distinctive features. Contrary to Song Hyun Seung’s words, he didn’t look like he would treat him well, but rather he had a lot of complaints.

‘What a jerk I have to guide.’

He must have been shunned by everyone to become the guide.

He was an ace in his strategy department days, so he must have been proud.

Yoo-hyun accepted his sharp gaze with a generous heart.

Kim Jin Sol sneered as he scanned Yoo-hyun’s outfit.

“Do you know where you’re going today?”

“Isn’t it the banquet hall?”

“But what’s with your outfit?”

“Is there something wrong?”

“Wrong? Is that what someone who might meet the royal family should say, wearing a cheap suit?”

What?

Yoo-hyun looked at Kim Jin Sol’s outfit with a bewildered expression.

The material of the jacket was shiny and the shoulder line flowed naturally. It was an Italian luxury brand suit.

It was fine to have a light feeling, but the problem was that it didn’t suit his body type.

The lapel width of the jacket was too wide for his narrow shoulders.

The expensive watch on his wrist was also a problem.

Especially, the gold and silver crossed watch strap and the dark blue on the watch bezel clashed with the color of the jacket.

This imbalance was a big minus factor for Hong Jin Hee, who valued balance.

His hair, which was spiked up with gel, was also not her preferred style.

He might not know if he was someone else, but Kim Jin Sol was a human resources person in charge of serving the royal family.

He needed to take care of these small details to survive.

Didn’t anyone tell him?

Even if no one told him, he should have read the manual for meeting the royal family before coming.

Yoo-hyun’s curiosity continued even after he got in Kim Jin Sol’s car.

Why did he rent a foreign car?

Just like his outfit, he clearly paid attention to the royal family when he rented a foreign car, but this was his mistake.

The royal family wouldn’t care about such a low-level car, and the parking lot was in the main building of the hotel.

This meant that there was no chance of being noticed in the first place.

Yoo-hyun asked with pity.

“Section chief, have you ever met the royal family?”

“Mr. Han, just answer my question.”

“Yes. I understand.”

“Just answer the question.”

“…”

He was speechless for a moment.

Thud.

Kim Jin Sol threw a thick file of documents on Yoo-hyun’s lap, which was stuck in the driver’s seat door.

“Memorize the royal family reception manual.”

“…”

The moment he saw the thick manual, Yoo-hyun’s vague memory of Kim Jin Sol became clear.

-Don’t ask if you’re curious. Just memorize it blindly, and if you’re still curious after that, it means your head is weird, so just forget it.

He had met Kim Jin Sol very briefly.

He was his senior right above him when he moved to the human resources department.

But why did he disappear all of a sudden?

He might have quit or been pushed out.

It was a fairly common occurrence in the group strategy room, so Yoo-hyun thought it was okay and just let it go.

Instead, he picked up the thick manual.

The small post-its attached to the side of the manual divided the categories.

Yoo-hyun looked at the most voluminous content of Hong Jin Hee first.

Sigh.

‘Phew.’

As soon as he turned the first page, Yoo-hyun tried to hold back his laughter.

It was still ridiculous to see it again.

-Do not make eye contact with the lady.

-Do not interrupt the lady’s conversation.

-Walk with your eyes 15 degrees down.

-If you offend the lady’s mood, bow 90 degrees immediately. (Important)

-No four-button jackets, no colored jackets.

-No bright-toned socks with shoes.

-…

The precautions that filled dozens of pages were all the things that happened to Hong Jin Hee.

They added a line every time a problem occurred and distributed it until now.

In other words, this manual was nothing but a history of shame and hardship of the seniors in charge of human resources.

What was this and why did he memorize it so hard before?

By the way, there were many missing contents here.

‘The details are definitely lacking.’

It was about three years later from now that Yoo-hyun moved to the human resources department, so it was possible that the initial manual was quite different from what he remembered.

No, he might not even remember the initial manual clearly.

Scratch.

Since he already knew most of the contents, Yoo-hyun turned it quickly.

Kim Jin Sol, who glanced at him, said in an annoyed tone.

“Don’t skim it, read it carefully.”

“What do I do if I memorize it all? There are so many missing contents.”

He had a lot to say, but he couldn’t do anything because he told him not to.

By the way, is he okay?

Kim Jin Sol didn’t seem to care about Yoo-hyun’s worried gaze, and stepped on the accelerator.

Vroom.

He was not bad at driving, at least.

Kim Jin Sol arrived at Hansung Hotel and parked his car in the basement of the main building, then walked briskly.

His confident walk was good, but his stride seemed a bit wide.

This was also not in the manual, but it was a style that Hong Jin Hee disliked.

Yoo-hyun frowned and shook his head.

‘As long as I don’t meet Hong Jin Hee, it’s fine.’

It was a very important banquet, but it was still a preparation period.

She might not show up, and even if she did, the chances of overlapping times were very low.

But that was just Yoo-hyun’s wish.

The stern expression of the security guard at the entrance of the annex told Yoo-hyun that he was wrong.

“The lady is here. Please be careful not to cause any trouble.”

“Yes. I understand.”

Kim Jin Sol spat out a tense word, and the security guard who checked his identity opened the entrance.

Creak.

Kim Jin Sol’s stride widened as he stepped into the garden of the hotel’s annex.

He looked like he was trying to act confident, but in Yoo-hyun’s eyes, he was nothing but nervous.

His eyes and breathing were trembling, showing his anxious state of mind.

His body was stiff from the tension.

Yoo-hyun was about to say something more, when Kim Jin Sol turned his body sharply.

Trudge.

He seemed to care, as he reduced his stride a bit.

Hansung Hotel’s annex was located about five minutes by car up a narrow winding road from the main building.

It was completely isolated, making it easy to block outsiders, and it was high on the hill, so the surrounding scenery was open.

Also, the exterior of the building was a refined style that added modern beauty to the shape of Korea’s royal palace, so foreigners especially preferred it.

It was not only the exterior of the building that had a Korean feel.

The garden in front of the three-story large annex was also landscaped to feel the unique atmosphere of Korea.

The annex had changed quite a bit to welcome the visit of the Spanish royal family.
