Chapter 71

As he tried to regain his senses, the bell rang.

Ding.

At the same time, he heard the voice of the gym manager.

“That’s it, stop!”

“Manager, I can do more.”

“I know. You didn’t take much damage, Tae-su.”

“Then...”

“That’s enough. You already found out what you need to prepare for.”

The gym manager climbed onto the ring and comforted Kim Tae-su, then asked Yoo-hyun.

“Yoo-hyun, did you set a trap on purpose?”

“That was the only thing I could do, since I could only land one hit.”

“How did you come up with such a plan as a beginner?”

The gym manager chuckled sarcastically, and Yoo-hyun smiled.

Did he think a beginner couldn’t set a trap?

That was because he didn’t know about Yoo-hyun’s corporate life.

In fact, compared to his work at the company, this was nothing more than a simple trap design.

It was because he only had one opponent.

But it was different at the company.

He had to consider the causal relationships of many people and draw a big picture.

He also had to respond quickly to changing situations.

That way, he could move people like chess pieces and make them fall into the traps he designed.

‘Just like the trap that Shin Chan-yong will fall into soon.’

Yoo-hyun felt a thrill at the thought of Shin Chan-yong’s gloomy face that he would see soon.

He was more excited than the feeling of his fist hitting his opponent.

He got off the ring and Kim Tae-su offered him a drink.

Then they sat down on the floor and talked.

“Thank you, Yoo-hyun.”

“I should thank you more. I learned a lot from you, hyung.”

“No, I learned more from you.”

“Did you hold back at the end?”

“Huh?”

“If you didn’t do that, I wouldn’t have been able to land my punch. You were faster than I expected.”CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

Kim Tae-su laughed when he heard Yoo-hyun’s words.

Yoo-hyun also smiled happily from across him.

Another week passed by quickly.

In the meantime, Assistant Manager Park Seung-woo went on a business trip to Ulsan alone.

It was to come up with a solution for the development event issue that followed the last meeting.

He chose the most suitable ones from each team’s proposals and made them into a final plan.

The plan was much more reasonable than before.

Thanks to the distribution of responsibilities among teams, Park Seung-woo’s workload also decreased significantly.

This seemed to be enough to handle this event issue without much trouble.

But Park Seung-woo’s expression was not very bright when he came out of reporting the results to Executive Director Jo Chan-young.

“Are you okay?”

“Why? I’m fine.”

Did someone who was fine have wrinkles on their forehead even when they were still? And what was with his flaring nostrils?

“What did your boss say?”

“Let’s go. The cigarettes are calling me.”

When Yoo-hyun asked, Park Seung-woo shook his head and gestured toward the hallway.

Park Seung-woo went down to the outdoor smoking area on the first floor and told Yoo-hyun what had happened in his boss’s office.

“Team Leader Hwe said something on the phone.”

“And then?”

“What do you think Director Jo said?”

“What did he say?”

“He scolded me for being so incompetent in handling things. And Team Leader Hwe just ignored me and sat there.”

Yoo-hyun calmly echoed Park Seung-woo’s angry voice.

“Really? Didn’t he say it was a good result?”

“That’s right. It would be fine if we just fixed it like that.”

“Right.”

“...I’ll think about it some more.”

“Okay. I hope you don’t take too long. There’s not much time left.”

“Yes. I understand.”

“Let’s go in a good direction. Heh heh heh.”

A good direction?

From Shin Chan-yong’s perspective, choosing Lee Kyung-hoon’s line was the best direction.

Director Jo’s position was no different from a broken kite.

It was soon to be Lee Kyung-hoon’s world.

But the carrot in front of him was too tempting.

It was different if it was an MBA.

He would choose the immediate benefit over the one year later if he had to choose.

Who knew what would happen two years later after finishing the MBA?

Shin Chan-yong had no choice but to hesitate.

The atmosphere was slowly changing.

He could tell from Executive Director Jo’s eyes that passed by Yoo-hyun.

And from the casual questions that Team Leader Oh Jae-hwan threw at him.

And from Shin Chan-yong’s look around as if nothing happened, he could sense the flow of change.

Executive Director Jo had already made up his mind.

That’s why Shin Chan-yong was hesitating.

He was wondering if he should take on such a risky project.

If he had to decide right away, he would rather refuse it according to Shin Chan-yong’s style.

He didn’t want to take any risks.

Making him choose differently.

That was what Yoo-hyun was trying to do now.

Park Seung-woo glanced at Yoo-hyun’s monitor and said.

“What are you working so hard on? Don’t worry about it and just do it roughly. No one passes on the first try.”

There was Yoo-hyun’s seminar presentation material on the screen.

Yoo-hyun shook his head.

“I have to work hard not to cause trouble.”

“Trouble? You’re already doing more than enough. Haha. Anyway, I got it. I have something to do today, so I’ll go first.”

Park Seung-woo patted Yoo-hyun’s back and got up from his seat.

The clock pointed at 6 p.m.

“He must be stressed about the seminar. He didn’t even eat dinner.”

“How can he be in the mood to eat? There are only a few days left.”

Assistant Manager Hwang Dong-sik and Assistant Manager Kim Young-gil from Part 2 left Yoo-hyun behind and went out for dinner while chatting with each other.

Others who passed by Yoo-hyun also left a word or two.

Soon, the office became quiet.

Tap. Tap tap tap.

Only Yoo-hyun’s keyboard sound filled the silent office.

How much time had passed?

When Yoo-hyun looked out the window after taking his hands off the keyboard, it was already dark outside.

Starting his corporate life again.

He thought it was basic to stick to his quitting time, but he couldn’t help it this time.

He had a lot to prepare.

No matter how high his insight was and how clearly he knew the direction he had to go, making a seminar material was a different matter.

It was not a place to show off how much he knew, but to show how much he prepared.

Even so, he had no reason to volunteer.

He just needed to achieve his goal that he had in mind for this seminar.

-You can pass the seminar easily if you use people’s psychology, right? Let’s get rid of that quickly. You have other things to do.

That was what Kim Hyun-min, who was into psychology, said.

It was a statement with a weak causal relationship, but it was true that he had to pass the seminar this time.

If not, he would have to prepare for the seminar for a month.

‘I can’t do that.’

Yoo-hyun had no intention of doing that.

He looked over the material he had organized so far.

It was close to 100 pages.

Park Seung-woo would have been shocked if he saw this.

He would have asked why he made such a long material that he couldn’t even finish half of it in two hours without stopping.

But it was necessary for achieving his goal.

He was getting closer to finishing it.
