Real Man

Chapter 487:

As expected, the atmosphere in the meeting room was not good.

It seemed like everyone in the team was deliberately sending hostile glares at Yoo-hyun.

Team leader Shim Byeong-jik watched the scene with his chin resting on his clenched fist.

The air was tense and chilly in the meeting room.

Thud.

The first one to break the silence was Jeon Park-geun-deok, the deputy manager who lightly slammed the desk.

He was the former project manager for Spain and he went on the offensive against Yoo-hyun.

“How can you be so reckless? How can you proceed with the project as you please?”

“I got everything you wanted without touching the wind farm site issue that you gave up on. What did I do wrong?”

“That’s…”

To be honest, he had no right to say anything about this meeting since he had uploaded the handover documents in a mess.

Taking advantage of his hesitation, Ji Won-ho, the deputy manager with a tall stature and dark skin, jumped in.

He opened his mouth for the first time in a long while after being crushed by Song Hyun-seung, the executive director.

“You knew that the Spanish government wouldn’t pay the eco-friendly subsidy, right? Then you should have gotten more out of them. Isn’t that normal?”

“I didn’t know.”

“You didn’t know?”

“Yes. I just guessed and it turned out well.”

The deputy manager with narrowed eyes turned his head sharply toward Shin Nak-kyun, the assistant manager.

“Assistant manager Shin, is that true?”

“Yes. It’s true.”

“Then you should have told me from the start.”

Having nothing to say, he unfairly scolded the assistant manager.

The team leader Shim Byeong-jik’s face hardened as he saw the pathetic sight of his team members.

Then, Na Do-yeon, the deputy manager with round glasses, looked at Yoo-hyun.

She had a fair skin and long eyes that were impressive. She was the main contributor to introducing Hansung’s bus system in Sao Paulo, Brazil last year.

“You’re so talkative for someone who messed up someone else’s project without permission.”

“I thought it would help your project.”

“Help? You clearly gave away our share to a company that has no technology. Is that what you’re saying?”

Na Do-yeon’s sharp voice pierced his ears.

He used to tremble at the sound of her voice, but now he could see the dot under her right eye in the round glasses clearly.

Instead of answering, Yoo-hyun asked a question.

“Is it true that you can make 300 billion won in sales if you win the bid for the transportation system in Bogota, Colombia?”

“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

“I’m curious if you’re satisfied with that much.”

“What?”

Na Do-yeon’s voice rose by a tone at Yoo-hyun’s provocation.

Yoo-hyun faced her cold gaze and raised the stakes.

“What about Guatemala, Cuba, Chile, Argentina, Peru, and other Latin American cities that are in the direct export blind spot? Are you going to compete fiercely and get one each year?”

“Of course. Isn’t that obvious?”

“Then most of them will be taken away by your competitors.”

“The Latin American market is wide. It takes at least a year to open one network.”

Na Do-yeon spat out as if to make a point, but Yoo-hyun threw a twist.

“Why do you bother to open a new network?”

“Then what?”

“Narutal Power’s power system is already installed in most of the Latin American regions. Narutal Power’s network is connected to the governments of each country.”

“…”

Na Do-yeon’s pupils shook violently as she understood Yoo-hyun’s words.

She imagined the scenario in her head and Yoo-hyun showed her the picture he wanted.

“If you use Narutal Power as an intermediary, you can install the bus system in the whole of Latin America in one breath. Then…”

As Yoo-hyun’s words continued quickly, team leader Shim Byeong-jik intervened with a burst of anger.

“You’re going too far with just one meeting. Why do you think the work is so easy? We’ve been working hard for so long.”

“Then I’ll tell you after I get the results.”

Yoo-hyun stepped back and the team leader Shim Byeong-jik gritted his teeth.

“Let’s see how it goes. If it doesn’t work out, you have to keep your promise to quit.”

“Of course.”

Yoo-hyun smiled leisurely as he received the sharp gaze of the team leader Shim Byeong-jik.

The team leader Shim Byeong-jik snorted as he returned to his seat, chewing on Yoo-hyun’s words.

‘How can a power company have anything to do with a bus system?’

He thought it was absurd when he heard it from the assistant manager Shin Nak-kyun, but he really said such nonsense at the meeting.

He seemed to be struggling to untangle the twisted situation, but the result was obvious.

Narutal Power would either refuse to deal with them first, or push them with unreasonable conditions. There were only two choices.

Even if a miracle happened, it was impossible for them to hand over the bus system that they were doing well to another company.

No matter how good the conditions were, there were too many people and companies involved.

There was no way a good result could come out from any perspective.

The team leader Shim Byeong-jik was sure of that.

But what happened?

It didn’t even take a week for Narutal Power to contact them, and the conditions were beyond miraculous.

Before the team leader Shim Byeong-jik’s astonishment subsided, a team meeting led by the executive director Song Hyun-seung took place.

The executive director Song Hyun-seung, who opened the door and entered, praised Yoo-hyun right away.

“Hahaha. Manager Yoo, what kind of magic did you use to get this result?”

“It’s thanks to deputy manager Na who made the bus system so well.”

“Really? It’s also a skill to use it. Right, deputy manager Na?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Na Do-yeon nodded her head without looking at Yoo-hyun.

Yoo-hyun had said something ridiculous, but Narutal Power offered it first, and the scale was huge.

The project was a huge success regardless of her likes and dislikes of Yoo-hyun, and she couldn’t help but feel good.

The executive director Song Hyun-seung picked up on that.

“Hehe. The 300 billion won project might become more than 3 trillion won. If we take over Latin America, it will be a completely different game. Don’t you think?”

“Yes. I’ll make sure that happens.”

“Good. Manager Yoo made the deal, so deputy manager Na should work hard.”

“Yes. I’ll live up to your expectations.”

Na Do-yeon answered confidently and the executive director Song Hyun-seung smiled kindly.

It was a friendly look that he had never seen before, and the team members were bewildered.

The more he did, the more anxious the team leader Shim Byeong-jik was, but the executive director Song Hyun-seung’s interest was only on Yoo-hyun.

“But manager Yoo, how did you come up with the idea of linking the bus system?”

“It was lucky.”

“Lucky?”

“Yes. I tried to get a hold of the Seoul bus system, which I heard was so good, and I got it right away.”

Yoo-hyun said it was luck, but the one who knew it was not luck was Shinnakgyun, who had been kicking his feet nonstop under the water.

From entertaining to preparing materials, everything was targeting the final goal.

How big of a picture did he draw?

The more Shinnakgyun thought about Yoo-hyun’s actions, the more puzzled he was.

Leaving him behind, Songhyunseung, the director, revealed the reason why he was so happy.

“Hehe. If that’s luck, then it’s amazing. Thanks to that luck, you even pulled in the vice president of Narutal Power.”

Shimbyeongjik, the team leader, asked in surprise.

“Vi, vice president? Do you mean Maria Carlos?”

“Yes. She called me personally and said she wanted to collaborate with us. Do you know what that means?”

“It means we might have a connection with the Spanish royal family.”

When they first contacted Narutal Power, Shimbyeongjik was the one who tried to make a network with Maria Carlos.

But no matter what he did, he couldn’t reach her.

He was sure of that, but luck came rolling in from an unexpected direction.

Shimbyeongjik’s face was sour, but Songhyunseung smiled happily.

“Right. We got a great network. Hahaha.”

‘He must be very pleased.’

Yoo-hyun was surprised by Maria Carlos’s enthusiasm, who he had a past relationship with.

He thought she would be interested, but he didn’t expect her to act so quickly.

He thought he could easily make a deal with her if he paid a little more attention to her.

Yoo-hyun smiled as he thought that.

He was modifying his plan based on the updated information.

Songhyunseung, who had a long smile on his lips, looked at Yoo-hyun.

“You showed such amazing results in a short time, I should do something for you.”

“Director, nothing is decided yet.”

Shimbyeongjik tried to tackle him, but Songhyunseung was too happy to stop.

“Hehe. Shim, you have too small of a vision. That’s the problem. Well, what do you think? The result is what matters.”

“…”

“Han, I’ll give you a bonus within the limit of my authority. It’ll be much bigger than the subsidiary, so you won’t be disappointed even if it’s the scale of my authority.”

“That’s not possible. Thank you for your consideration.”

The maximum limit of the group strategy room’s authority without approval was 20 million won.

It was the same amount of money he got as a reward for working hard to make the color phone a success.

“Haha. You kept your promise with me, so I’ll keep mine. And Shim, team leader.”

Songhyunseung, who was smiling happily at Yoo-hyun, called Shimbyeongjik.

“Yes, director.”

“Give some encouragement money to the team, too. Buy them something delicious. The external strategy team is the center of our group strategy room, right?”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Shimbyeongjik answered with a forced voice, and Songhyunseung pointed at Yoo-hyun.

“Especially Han, feed him well. Got it?”

“Yes? Oh… okay.”

Shimbyeongjik looked at Yoo-hyun with a twisted face as he answered.

Squeak.

Yoo-hyun’s smile made Shimbyeongjik’s expression worse.

A little later, when the clock hand pointed to 20 minutes before lunchtime.

Shimbyeongjik, who was walking around, muttered with a troubled expression.

“What do we do?”

Parkgeundeok, the deputy director, who had the same problem, clapped his hands.

He came up with a meaningless solution for a team member who was supposed to worry about the business direction of Hansung Group.

“Why don’t we eat something he hates?”

“Hates?”

“Yes. Shin, go ask him. What kind of health food he can’t eat.”

Parkgeundeok’s words didn’t seem right to Shinnakgyun.

Nadoyeon, the deputy director, also didn’t look very bright.

But Shinnakgyun couldn’t refuse his senior’s words.

“What are you doing? Go quickly.”

“Yes. Okay.”

Shinnakgyun sighed inwardly and moved.

Yoo-hyun casually answered Shinnakgyun, who came close and asked him something ridiculous.

He sent him away and leaned back on his chair, looking at the article on the monitor screen.

He had seen the article dozens of times, but he wanted to read it again and again.

The video below the article played vividly in his head without pressing the play button.

He had watched it live with his colleagues at the gym last night, and he had watched the KO video dozens of times until noon today.

He felt it every time he watched it, but Lee Jang-woo’s movements were flawless.

It was obvious that professional coaches had helped him.

He had no room to complain, and Yoo-hyun didn’t feel sorry at all.

Rather, he was proud of his junior who was flying around the world.

“Son. You’re really amazing.”

Yoo-hyun smiled as he thought of his amazing junior.

Shimbyeongjik, who never came near him, approached Yoo-hyun and coughed.

“Ahem. The team members agreed on eel. How about it, do you want to go with us?”

“No, thanks. I’m fine.”

“I see. It’s a shame that you don’t like eel.”

Shimbyeongjik left an awkward remark and turned away.

The team members looked at Yoo-hyun’s face and went out.

His junior was waving the Korean flag in Japan, but they were making such a fuss over a meal.

He couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of them.

“Kuku. What are they trying to do?”

He shook his shoulders as he thought of their ridiculous appearance.
