Chapter 151

A few moments later, he received a phone call from his mother.

She was very worried.

-I can’t sleep at night because of Jaehui.

“Mother, don’t worry.”

-Yoo-hyun, you don’t worry about anything. Jaehui is so clumsy.

“We’re going together from the company, what’s the big deal. There won’t be any time when he’s alone.”

-That’s why I’m more worried. I’m afraid he’ll cause trouble for the people there.

From his mother’s perspective, it was a reasonable concern.

Her daughter, who was not very bright, was going abroad, and with the name of Hansung Electronics, no less. It was enough to make her anxious.

“Don’t worry. Jaehui was invited because he did well.”

Yoo-hyun was not worried at all.

The person who was going with him was not someone else, but Jang Hyemin, his senior. She had a tendency to shower affection on anyone she liked, so she would find Jaehui’s blunders cute no matter what.

He was more worried that she would treat him too well.

-Really? Didn’t you do everything for him?

“Me? No. It had nothing to do with me. The mobile phone division liked Jaehui’s skills and chose him.”

-Oh? That’s different from what Jaehui said. He said he was going because you helped him a lot. He was so grateful that he even teared up.”

“What?”

Jaehui would never say such a thing when he was sober.

Yoo-hyun’s eyebrows narrowed.

“He said that after drinking, right?”

-How did you know?

Yoo-hyun was speechless at his mother’s question.

‘He’s so consistent.’

-Don’t you know I become a different person when I drink?

That was what his sister had muttered secretly in front of Jang Hyemin, his senior.

Remembering that, Yoo-hyun gave a hollow laugh and said.

“Anyway, it’s a good opportunity, so we’ll go and come back well.”

-Okay, Yoo-hyun. Don’t buy any gifts when you come back. It’s cheaper at the duty-free shop, but not buying is saving money.

“Okay. I understand.”

-Okay, okay. And tell Jaehui too. Even if German shampoo is cheap, Korean ones are better.

“Yes, yes, mother.”

-...Okay.

“Mother, go inside.”

Yoo-hyun hung up the phone after hearing his mother’s nervous voice.

Then he checked the message from Jaehui.

It was a list of gifts that his mother wanted.

Did Jaehui get his personality from his mother?

It was a moment when he had a rational doubt that he had never had before.

Yoo-hyun called his father, friends, and other relatives to say goodbye.

Going abroad for a business trip was not a big deal, but at that time, taking a plane once was a big issue.

The person who was most envious was his friend Kang Junki, who worked at Semi Electronics.

He was very sorry that he couldn’t go while other employees did.

-I want to go too.

“You’ll have a chance.”

Yoo-hyun answered with a pity.

He thought it would have been more fun if they went together.

But that was his thought until he heard the next words.

-I really want to go to a German mixed bath.

“Just go to a local bathhouse.”

-Mixed bath.

“Forget it. Hang up.”

Yoo-hyun shook his head and ended the call.

He was a friend who still hadn’t grown up.

And finally, the day of the trip came.

Yoo-hyun felt a new emotion when he arrived at Incheon Airport.

He had been on many overseas business trips in the past.

It was the same when he was in the LCD division, the group, the mobile phone division, or the electronic strategy office.

Hansung Electronics was a global company, and its customers were all over the world.

For some people, the purpose of an overseas business trip might be tourism or airplane mileage.

But not for Yoo-hyun.

For Yoo-hyun, an overseas business trip was a place to prove his value.

He learned the language of the country, memorized the history of the customer company, and researched the customer’s behavior beforehand.

He did all that to show off his skills in front of the executives who came with him.

Was that why?

“Hey, the weather is killing today.”

“What do you mean killing? It’s freezing. It’s really winter. The weather in Germany is the same.”

“Come on, come over here quietly.”

“Yes.”

He, who had taken a seat in the corner of the waiting room, spoke in a tense voice that didn’t suit him.

“Let’s not cause any trouble. We’re outnumbered.”

“What do you mean, outnumbered? Are we going to fight or something?”

Choi Minhee, the manager, snapped, but Kim Hyunmin, the chief, was serious all the time.

“Don’t you know? It’s embarrassing to lose even if we fight.”

“What are you talking about?”

The part members looked at Kim Hyunmin, the chief, with a dumbfounded expression.

They were all people who had at least some common sense.

They had no reason to fight with irrelevant employees, even if Ilseong Electronics was a competitor.

But Kim Hyunmin, the chief’s expression was very serious.

“So let’s just be quiet.”

“...”

They all shut their mouths.

Of course, it wouldn’t happen as Kim Hyunmin, the chief thought.

But since they didn’t need to make trouble, the six part members enjoyed their meditation quietly.

They read books or plugged earphones into their ears.

Outside the window, planes came and went, and the numbers on the digital clock on the wall went up one by one.

It was then that they heard a voice from behind.

“Hahaha, that’s right. All the TVs in the waiting room are Ilseong’s, right?”

“Yeah. Hansung is over now. Look. They can’t even compete with us in phones.”

“Not just Hansung. The Japanese and Chinese kids are all our food.”

“Puhahahaha.”

Actually, it wasn’t that bad.

They were just laughing and talking with pride.

They could easily ignore that kind of gossip, since they weren’t saying it in front of them.

“How childish.”

“They’re kids, so what can you do?”

They could just quietly curse and let it go.

But.

Kim Hyunmin, the chief’s expression began to distort.

Crunch.

He even crushed the empty can he was holding.

For a moment, his appearance reminded them of the hardcore fans who threw bottles into the baseball stadium in excitement.

No way.

Yoo-hyun wondered at that moment, and he jumped up from his seat and shouted.

“Hey. Ilseong.”

“Chief...”

“Don’t you know what manners are?”

His loud voice echoed in the airport waiting room, and the people sitting around turned their heads.

The Ilseong Electronics employee who was hit by the stick looked around with a bewildered expression.

“...”

Yoo-hyun and the 3rd part members were so dumbfounded that they were stunned for a moment.

They had to fix it somehow.

It was when Yoo-hyun got up from his seat with a dizzy expression.

Park Seungwoo, the assistant, who got up with him, blocked Kim Hyunmin, the chief, with one hand.

And he stretched out his other hand and shouted.

“I, I’m Japanese.”

“...”

Why did he say such a thing?

Yoo-hyun lost his words at the successive failures.

“They must be Japanese.”

“Why are they doing that? Did they get into a fight?”

There was a buzz around them.

Choi Minhee, the manager, and Kim Younggil, the assistant, who were sitting, covered their faces with books.

‘We’re screwed.’

Their expressions, which were burning, told them the situation.

They couldn’t pretend it wasn’t happening, because they were under the eyes of 30 Ilseong Electronics employees.

Even Yoon Doojoon, the vice president, was looking this way.

Kim Hyunmin, the chief, who came to his senses late, poked Park Seungwoo, the assistant, in the ribs.

“Are you crazy? What are you going to do if you speak Japanese there?”

“You’re the crazy one, chief. Why did you cause trouble?”

“Damn, you ruined everything. You should have pretended to be Japanese.”

“I don’t know Japanese.”

“You crazy bastard, why did you do that?”

The two kept bickering.
