Real Man C.519:

Yoo-hyun was the first to get up, shrugging his shoulders.

“Hahaha. You’re a fist and a sleeper, buy me some roasted eggs.”

“Are you buying the banana milk?”

“Shall we go and act like seniors for a while?”

It was the moment when Yoo-hyun grinned.

Park Seung-woo, the manager who was trying to get up while shrugging his shoulders, suddenly sat down with a serious expression.

“Hahaha. I guess… I have to, but you go first. I’ll hold on a bit longer.”

“You came in late too, why are you like that?”

“I’m a man who always comes in late and leaves late. Just go.”

“Okay. Take your time.”

It was the moment when Yoo-hyun, who was tilting his head, went out of the bathhouse.

Manager Park Seung-woo stretched out his body in the water as if nothing had happened.

A moment later, he stuck his head out toward the entrance and muttered quietly before getting up.

“Did he completely leave?”

That small action showed his strong will to never stand next to Yoo-hyun.

Manager Park Seung-woo avoided Yoo-hyun for a completely different reason than Yoo-hyun avoided his gaze.

Yoo-hyun recalled the moment when he felt embarrassed looking at his clenched fist on the sofa after returning home.

“Join forces.”

It was a ridiculous story, but it was true that it helped.

Not only Manager Park Seung-woo, but also the other people who had fiercely discussed all night.

No one complained in front of a difficult task.

Even though it was a situation that might not be understandable, they rather stepped forward and gave Yoo-hyun strength.

With such colleagues behind him, he was confident that he could do well.

Bang.

Yoo-hyun, who got up from his seat, sat in front of the computer instead of lying on the bed.

While the monitor screen was on, Yoo-hyun thought of Shin Kyung-soo’s moves.

Why did he suddenly appear at this point?

It might seem like nothing to show his face in Korea for a while, but no.

He was never the kind of person who would reveal himself in an incomplete state.

He would only appear when everything was ready, walking gracefully on a red carpet.

That meant that this visit was an inevitable choice for him.

A word came to Yoo-hyun’s mind as he thought of Shin Kyung-soo’s recent moves.

Succession of management rights.

Shin Kyung-soo was never the kind of person who would waste time in a fair competition.

He would rather try to snatch the position by cheating than wait for Chairman Shin Hyun-ho’s choice.

There was no reason for him to make a different choice than before, as long as his greed was intact.

Then how would he proceed?

‘He would try to secure the group’s shares.’

It was a predictable fact just by looking at how he kicked out all the people who owned the group’s shares through reform.

Yoo-hyun recalled in order the things that Shin Kyung-soo had done to secure the group’s shares in one go.

First, he came to Korea and established a company that he was the major shareholder of.

Second, he mobilized the Group Strategy Office to sell that company to a group affiliate.

At that time, he used a loophole to inflate the company’s value and secure a large amount of affiliate shares.

Third, he used the political power to make the affiliate and Hansung Life merge.

It was a bonus that he made the merger ratio overwhelmingly favorable to him by using various cheats.

Through this series of processes, he created a situation where he could get Hansung Group without receiving Chairman Shin Hyun-ho’s shares.

The person who led this work at that time was Director Lee Joon-il.

Considering his style, it was obvious that he was doing a similar work under the water.

It would be nice to know this information in detail, but the problem was that the situation was too different from the past.

That is, there was no information on what kind of ‘company’ he made and what kind of ‘affiliate’ he sold it to.

Yoo-hyun decided to go easy after a moment of thought.

“It doesn’t matter what kind of company it is, as long as we prevent them from acquiring it.”

Click.

As Yoo-hyun pressed the mouse button with a smile on his lips, the result of the overnight discussion came to mind.

What if the group acquires Shinwa Semiconductor?

They would be in a situation where they couldn’t even look at other mergers and acquisitions due to lack of funds.

This would prevent Shin Kyung-soo’s trick in advance, and at the same time, greatly increase the position of Vice President Shin Kyung-wook.

This was why Yoo-hyun wanted to speed up the acquisition of Shinwa Semiconductor.

He was drawing a big picture while looking over the contents he had organized.

Beep.

A message popped up on the phone on the desk.

-I heard some good news. I had a favor to return, so it worked out well. Call me when you wake up. Lim Joon-pyo.

Vice President Shin Kyung-wook must have been very anxious.

He called Lim Joon-pyo, the president, right after the overnight discussion.

Yoo-hyun chuckled and pressed the call button.

Soon, the thick voice of President Lim Joon-pyo came out.

-You didn’t sleep, did you?

“I can’t just sleep when you contacted me, sir.”

-Haha. I appreciate the words. Oh, thank you for the banquet. I would have been in a lot of trouble if it wasn’t for you.

President Lim Joon-pyo, who was laughing, mentioned the time when he was involved with Shin Kyung-joon.

He didn’t help him because he wanted something, but the atmosphere was very positive.

Yoo-hyun tried to flatter him by sneaking in a word.

“What are you talking about? I just did my job.”

-I’ve felt it before, but you’re amazing. You’ve captured not only the royal family, but also the lady’s heart, so there’s nothing more to say.

“Thank you for your kind words.”

-It’s a fact that everyone recognizes. I’m very happy that such a talented person is coming back to display.

President Lim Joon-pyo, who had no idea of the incident with Shin Kyung-soo, was in a very good mood.

It was a situation where he didn’t need to go back.

Yoo-hyun took a more direct approach.

“I also wanted to come back. There’s something I really want to do when I go back.”

-What is it? I’ll listen to anything you say.

“Well…”

As Yoo-hyun mentioned his plan without hesitation, President Lim Joon-pyo, who was in a good mood, shouted.

-Of course we have to do it for the company. Since we’re doing it, I’ll make an organization for you.

“Thank you for giving me the opportunity.”

-I’m more grateful. Let’s do well.

“Yes. I’ll repay you with good results.”

Yoo-hyun smiled and answered President Lim Joon-pyo’s bright voice.

He had his colleagues from the Innovation Strategy Office and prepared a foothold through President Lim Joon-pyo.

He had buttoned up the first button well, but he needed more preparation to increase the chances of success.

After sleeping well, Yoo-hyun started that work right away.

Tap tap tap.

Yoo-hyun’s plan was quickly organized on the computer.

He left a lot of the content that he had to struggle alone to his colleagues.

The names of many people who had been with Yoo-hyun from the Innovation Strategy Office to Hansung Display were listed.

As his vision widened, he prepared alternatives that could cover more exceptional situations.

Through this work, Yoo-hyun realized one thing.

It was more advantageous to turn his eyes and work with his colleagues than to work under Shin Kyung-soo’s watch.

“I think I can do it.”

Yoo-hyun showed a confident smile and filled in the remaining items.

Yoo-hyun finished the arrangement by organizing the changed plan over the weekend.

He had a clear picture in his head, confidence, and leisure.

But there was one premise for this plan.

‘How can I get out of here cleanly?’

It was when Yoo-hyun sat down at his desk and organized his thoughts.

Beep.

A message came in on the phone.

-Can we talk for a bit?

The sender was Director Lee Joon-il, who was the most difficult opponent and the person who could solve Yoo-hyun’s worries at once.

He had been waiting for him, so Yoo-hyun accepted his offer without hesitation.

Soon, Director Lee Joon-il came to the strategy meeting room himself.

He smiled broadly as he looked at Yoo-hyun.

“Thanks to Manager Han, the banquet ended very well.”

“I didn’t do anything. You did everything, sir.”

“I like this modesty. Well, then let’s settle it.”

“Settle what?”

“Tell me what you want. You obviously don’t want to stay in charge of strategy, right?”

Did he think he would choose human resources?

Even if Yoo-hyun said that, there was nothing he could do there.

Unless he caught Shin Kyung-soo’s eye, he would only do marginal work.

Director Lee Joon-il, who knew this fact better than anyone, was just teasing Yoo-hyun for fun.

“…”

Yoo-hyun pretended to hesitate instead of answering.

He was enjoying the process of guessing.

It was easier to maintain the relationship if he found a reasonable reason himself.

That way, he would feel much less resentment for the betrayal.

Thanks to Yoo-hyun laying the groundwork, Director Lee Joon-il gave the exact answer he expected.

“Are you going back to display?”

“Huh. How did you know?”

Yoo-hyun pretended to be surprised, and Director Lee Joon-il lifted his lips.

“Well, I thought you would get something in return for helping President Lim. He contacted you right after it was over, right?”

“Yes. I got a good offer.”

“He must have given you something like a team leader position.”

Yoo-hyun gave an answer that would fill in the blank data of Director Lee Joon-il.

“Something like that.”

“Well, that’s not a bad choice. But can you really be satisfied in a narrow well?”

He asked sharply, looking at Yoo-hyun.

Director Lee Joon-il was not good at observing like Yoo-hyun, or intuitive like Shin Kyung-soo.

But his ability to analyze vast data and infer conclusions was overwhelming.

This process was constantly happening even in a short conversation.

Yoo-hyun paid special attention to match his style every time he asked a question.

“I can’t be satisfied.”

“Then why are you going?”

“The situation of display is not very optimistic. We need to change to fend off the rising Chinese companies.”

He mentioned the crisis situation of display, which he had talked about with Director Song Hyun-seung before.

Director Lee Joon-il, who seemed to know this part already, chuckled.

“So, you’re going to do that?”

“Yes. I want to contribute to the development of display based on what I learned and saw in the Group Strategy Office.”

“Why do you have to do that?”

“It will boost the morale of the employees if the company grows. This synergy will make the company bigger, and I think it will be a good opportunity for me, who is the starting point.”

This answer was an extension of the content that had offended Shin Kyung-soo’s feelings.

Director Lee Joon-il’s eyes narrowed at Yoo-hyun’s deliberate provocation.

He wiped out his playful expression and said coldly.

“You have a strange belief.”

“A strange belief?”

“Yes. You’re like living in a fairy tale by yourself. But will that work out the way you want?”

“I think it will work if I try.”

The words he said to Shin Kyung-soo when dealing with the strike at the Wonju factory, and the answer he just gave, connected and filled in the data gap of Director Lee Joon-il.

“Effort… I see. You were the type who believed in effort. That’s why you made that decision.”

“What decision are you talking about?”

Director Lee Joon-il, who lifted one corner of his mouth, asked as if testing.
