Chapter 103
It was then.
Thwack!
A fist flew out of nowhere and slammed into the man’s face.
He would have fallen to the ground if the man behind him hadn’t caught him. It was a powerful punch.
Before Yoo-hyun could stop him, Kang Dongshik jumped out and kicked the guy’s abdomen.
“Ugh!”
Thud.
The whole thing happened so fast that the other men only started to rush in after one of them was rolling on the floor.
“You bastard!”
At that moment, one of the men recognized Kang Dongshik’s face and widened his eyes.
“…What? Bro, bro!”
As if they had agreed, the rest of them also stopped in their tracks.
“Bro!”
Then they all bowed their heads as if they had made a promise.
Kang Dongshik accepted it as if it was natural and lifted his head.
“….”
Yoo-hyun couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
Kang Dongshik spoke in a low voice.
“Who told you to do it?”
“That, that….”
“I asked who told you to touch my brother.”
His tone was so strong that even Yoo-hyun next to him swallowed his saliva.
As soon as he said that, the men lowered their heads.
“We’re, we’re sorry.”
“Sung Hyuk.”
“Yes, bro.”
“Call him.”
Kang Dongshik’s voice was so cold that the man hesitated.
“Yes? But….”
“Don’t make me repeat myself.”
“Yes. I understand.”
Yoo-hyun blinked his eyes.
This guy, his charisma is no joke.
He wondered if this was the same person who was whining about having a drink a while ago.
Just as he thought that, Kang Dongshik turned his head sharply.
Then he winked at Yoo-hyun.
‘Ah….that’s him.’
Yoo-hyun gave a wry smile and he nodded his chin and asked.
“What do you want to do? Do you want to meet the guy who ordered this?”
Meet him?
Yoo-hyun answered without hesitation.
“Let’s do that.”
A few moments later.
The seat of Song Hocha, the assistant manager of the sales team, was neatly empty.
“Assistant Manager Song quit in the end. I guess the disciplinary action was more of a shock than he thought.”
“I don’t know.”
Yoo-hyun shrugged his shoulders at Park Seungwoo’s words.
Park Seungwoo, who didn’t know the reason, muttered as if to himself.
“Well, I guess it’s a way out for him to find another place.”
“Can he go to another company even if he quits like this?”
“Why not? He won’t have a record if he just gets a pay cut, right?”
Well. It won’t be easy.
He was suspected of having a connection with Ilseong Electronics, so the ethics committee was still monitoring him.
Ilseong Electronics was out of the question, and Hansung Group’s affiliates would also be reluctant.
It would be hard to turn his feet to China or Japan in this situation.
The LCD industry floor was narrow.
He should have done something wrong moderately.
Yoo-hyun asked.
“Assistant Manager, what about Manager Choi?”
“He said he had something to check after looking at the contest materials.”
“He’s diligent.”
“That’s right. He’s too proactive for me to handle.”
Park Seungwoo smiled awkwardly.
He had been scolded by Choi Minhee for lacking detail recently, so it was understandable.The primary upload of this chapter happened on N0v3l--B1n.
“But that’s good for you, right?”
“Of course, of course. He’s definitely skilled.”
“And he’s also proactive.”
“Yeah. I learn a lot from him.”
It was fortunate that he learned something else in the meantime.
Yoo-hyun smiled faintly and turned his head to look at Choi Minhee’s empty seat.
Choi Minhee, who had been pushed to the third part after her maternity leave and complained of frustration, was gone now.
Instead, she was running around for her junior’s contest.
-Thank you, Yoo-hyun-ssi. I really appreciate it.
She had said it sincerely, unlike her past cold and stiff attitude.
Her words fluttered in the wind and tickled Yoo-hyun’s heart.
He sometimes thought about it.
What if he had done it all by himself?
It would have been hard for him to do the Geoje meeting and persuade NaviTime.
It wouldn’t have been easy to pay back Song Hocha either.
He had a lot of restrictions on him right now.
He was just a new employee after all.
But
All these things were solved so easily.
It was thanks to the miracle that was made by overlapping connections.
It was a strange thing.
It wasn’t a forced connection that he made to pursue success in the past.
A small connection that brushed by him had a butterfly effect and helped Yoo-hyun.
He had never experienced such luck in the past when he only looked ahead and ran.
‘This is the right way to live.’
The luck that flickered in front of his eyes seemed to say so.
Not looking ahead, but looking around.
Blending in with the people around him.
Living with a warm heart.
“Yes. I know now.”
Yoo-hyun nodded his head.
Park Seungwoo was surprised by his sudden words.
“Huh?”
“No. I’m just happy. Do you want a cup of coffee?”
“I’m busy, but if my junior wants it.”
“I want it. Let’s go. I’ll buy it for you.”
Yoo-hyun took the lead and Park Seungwoo shook his head.
“That’s not necessary.”
“Hey, mentor. You should buy something expensive for me.”
“Kid. You’re only good at talking.”
Yoo-hyun smiled brightly as he looked at Park Seungwoo who was grumbling.
In a dark bar.
Go Jaeyoon, the assistant manager of the product planning team, who was sitting across from his colleague Song Hocha, doubted his ears.
The name that came out of his mouth was Han Yoo-hyun.
He was stunned by the unexpected name.
“What? What are you talking about! How could Song Ho-chan, the great Song Ho-chan, be humiliated by a mere rookie?”
“Stop. I don’t want to talk about it.”
How on earth did this happen?
He was curious, but he had to shut his mouth at Song Ho-chan’s cold reaction.
A hypothesis popped up in his head.
‘Could it be that he really got beaten by Han Yu-hyun? And very thoroughly?’
He had already experienced how Han Yu-hyun responded in front of the thugs.
He even saw that he was close friends with some huge guys.
But he thought that Song Ho-chan would be able to scold the rude rookie firmly.
He knew better than anyone about Song Ho-chan’s violent tendencies.
So he was curious.
Why did he leave the rookie alone, who would have called the errand center if the numbers were wrong?
Did he just leave him alone?
Looking at Song Ho-chan, who was drinking heavily by himself, his hypothesis became more certain.
He was definitely beaten by Han Yu-hyun.
‘Damn, things are getting complicated.’
His plan to get rid of the annoying rookie through Song Ho-chan had gone awry.
Now he had to use another method.
A name came to his mind.
“Shouldn’t we tell Lee Kyung-hoon, the team leader?”
“I cut ties with that bastard, so don’t even bring him up.”
“You…”
“I’m sorry for bragging that I had him under control. He’s trash. He really threw away his pride and begged for his life! But do you know what he said? He said not to act like I know him anymore.”
“…”
Contrary to Go Jae-yoon’s wishes, Song Ho-chan was completely at odds with Lee Kyung-hoon, the director.
“Look after me? Bullshit. He only says we’re like family, but he’s just a bat.”
“…”
He was not just at odds with him, but hated him deeply.
He seemed to have more resentment towards Lee Kyung-hoon than Han Yu-hyun, who had brought him down.
“Do you think I’ll let this happen? No way. I know too much about his secrets. Go Jae-yoon, no, Go.”
“Huh?”
He called Go Jae-yoon’s name.
He was his colleague, but he had a hard time facing him.
His face, which had been hard to look at, turned to face Go Jae-yoon directly.
“No one came looking for me when things went wrong. But you came to me. Don’t say thank you. Instead, I’ll do you a favor.”
“What, what is it?”
“I know the company that he’s working on right now. It’s going public within a year. Invest in it.”
Song Ho-chan’s imported car and his apartment in Seoul.
He had heard from behind how they came to be, so he listened attentively to his voice.
“It’s called D&Tech. My plan is…”
As he listened blankly, a glass full of liquor was pushed towards him.
“That’s it. The deadline is tomorrow midnight.”
“…”
“Decide whether you want to live as a salaryman for the rest of your life or get a big share.”
Was it because he was drunk?
His colleague’s words, which had been hard to understand, sounded so sweet now.
He had been saving his salary without getting married, but he couldn’t even afford an apartment.
He had wanted to quit his job anyway.
Maybe this was a gift from heaven.
“Expected profit?”
“At least 10 times. By the way, I’m all in.”
Gulp, he swallowed his saliva and picked up the glass in front of him.
And he drank it in one shot.
Song Ho-chan’s lips curled up for the first time.
Back at the coffee shop next to Hanseong Tower.
“Did you hear? Song Ho-chan went to Yu-hyun’s seat and caused a scene?”
“Oh my, oh my. He’s such a trash. Why does he bother Yu-hyun who’s just minding his own business?”
“So what? Did he badmouth Yu-hyun when he quit?”
The female employees of the LCD business division were chatting away at the cafe.
It was about Yu-hyun, the hot issue lately.
And in the center of it was Lee Ae-rin, the secretary in charge of mobile sales and marketing.
“No. It was the opposite.”
“Then what?”
Her answer drew the attention of the female employees around three tables.
They all wanted her to tell them what happened.
She enjoyed their interest and showed her leisure by taking a sip of coffee before continuing.
“He begged Yu-hyun for mercy.”
“Why would that devil do that?”
Kang Ha-yeon, an assistant manager in the HR team, asked.
As far as she knew, that was the day Song Ho-chan resigned.
The reason was disciplinary action.
Was it related to Yu-hyun?
“I don’t know. I’m not sure. Maybe Choi Min-hee, the manager, knows…”
“Cough, cough.”
Lee Ae-rin’s gaze made Choi Min-hee cough.
“I don’t know either. Yu-hyun doesn’t play with me.”
“Come on, you’re the closest person to Yu-hyun these days. Everyone else is jealous.”
“No, no. What are you talking about?”
Choi Min-hee waved her hands in surprise.
She wondered if Kim Hyun-min had spread some ridiculous rumors.
Fortunately, Lee Ae-rin didn’t ask any more questions.
Instead, she fiddled with the small bag on her lap.
