Chapter 153

“No, no. You can’t say that if you have any conscience.”

“...”

He said that as if he was scolding someone else.

“From now on, leave Yoo-hyun alone. Got it?”

“It was the manager who caused the most trouble.”

“Park, if you say nonsense like that, Yoo-hyun won’t stay still.”

“...”

At first, it seemed like he was caring for Yoo-hyun.

But the next words from Manager Kim Hyun-min were not.

“Everyone else is the same. From now on, we only listen to Yoo-hyun. Got it?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Hey, Choi. You heard it, right? Yoo-hyun is tired, so don’t ever say anything like drinking at this time of the night.”

As Yoo-hyun listened, the conversation went in a ridiculous direction.

‘What’s wrong with him?’

But as he listened, it seemed to get more and more amusing.

He was immersed in his own drama.

“Right, Yoo-hyun?”

“...”

Manager Kim Hyun-min blinked his eyes and lifted the corners of his mouth.

He was annoying.

He was just so annoying.

Yoo-hyun felt sympathy for Team Leader Oh Jae-hwan, who always suffered from Manager Kim.

He remembered how hard he had worked to clean up the mess at the airport, and he couldn’t let it go.

Yoo-hyun decided to open his mouth.

“Manager, how about a drink?”

“Now? The hotel bar is closed, and so is the mart. Of course, I’ll follow whatever you want, Yoo-hyun, but don’t you think it’s impossible?”

He shrugged his shoulders as if he was excited.

He looked like he had lost a few screws.

The people next to him stuck out their tongues as if they were embarrassed.

Yoo-hyun asked as if to confirm.

“You drink when you have alcohol, right?”

“Of course, of course. What do the others think? Okay?”

“Yes. Go ahead.”

That was when everyone agreed.

Yoo-hyun pointed to Manager Kim’s carrier with his index finger.

“The two bottles of liquor in your carrier.”

“Huh?”

“I’m so tired, but I think I’ll feel much better if I drink the liquor that I bought with a coupon at the duty-free shop.”

“Did I... hear that wrong?”

At that moment, Manager Kim’s face hardened, and Choi Min-hee ran out with a gleeful smile and joined the fire.

“Great idea. Let’s do it in your room, Manager.”

“What? My room?”

“Sure. Let’s gather all the peanuts in the room.”

As the two dragged the stunned Manager Kim out, Lee Chan-ho supported Yoo-hyun.

“Senior, are you okay?”

“Huh? Do you want to carry me?”

Why is he like this?

Yoo-hyun shook his head, and Lee Chan-ho scratched his head awkwardly.

“I’ll return the rental car tomorrow.”

“Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

“Of course, of course.”

Lee Chan-ho’s expression was full of regret.

Kim Young-gil, who was next to him, quietly clasped his hands.

He also agreed.

“No way.”

From afar, Manager Kim’s scream was heard.

They were people who couldn’t be hated.

“Get up. We have to enjoy today.”

“Should we?”

“Let’s go.”

Yoo-hyun smiled, and the two smiled with him.

In the dark dawn.

From the Berlin exhibition hall to room 511 of the hotel, Manager Kim was dragged along.

The part members who gathered in the room drank four bottles of liquor, including the ones that Choi Min-hee and Kim Young-gil bought, until the morning sun rose, and had a night of madness.

Not a single one of them left.

They even ate breakfast to save money and collapsed.

Yuhyun sat in the front corner seat and looked at him.

He vividly remembered the times he had stood in that spot under the pinpoint spotlight.

He always liked to greet in German at the beginning.

-Good day. I am very honored to share with you the new trend that Hansung will lead in Berlin today.

His accent was awkward and his gestures were not very natural.

But the effect was certain.

“Whoo!”

A whistle sounded from the audience, followed by a faint applause.

Vice President Hyun Ki-jung confidently switched the slides on the screen and continued his presentation in fluent English.

At that moment, Kim Sung-deuk, the manager of the mobile phone division, who was sitting next to him, tapped Yu-hyun’s shoulder and asked.

“Good response, huh?”

“Yes. It’s good.”

“You did your part too, Yu-hyun.”

“What did I do?”

Yu-hyun backed away slightly, but Kim Sung-deuk laughed.

“Hey, you polished the greeting, didn’t you?”

“...”

Yu-hyun chose silence instead of answering.

It was true that he had rearranged the words to preserve the strong accent of German. But it was Kim Sung-deuk who decided to change it right away.

“I know it’s not easy to catch the point.”

“It’s thanks to you, manager, for giving me the opportunity.”

“You know that, right? The color phone is the reason why the division head got that position.”

Kim Sung-deuk tilted his head back and winked at him.

He pointed to the place where the expressionless face of the home appliance division head was visible.

The home appliance division had a larger sales volume than the mobile phone division.

The main attractions of the exhibition, such as TV and home appliances, were all made under his supervision.

The actual presentation content also consisted mostly of the achievements of the home appliance division, such as slim TV, home entertainment, and design appliances.

But today was different.

The home appliance division head was beaten by his competitor in one word.

Why was this possible?

It was because Vice President Hyun Ki-jung had caught the eye of Vice Chairman Shin Myung-ho.

And at the center of it was the color phone.

“And we are planning to actively apply full touch to prepare for the upcoming smart mobile environment. Starting with the budget full touch phone, color phone, that we will introduce this time, we will make more than half of the products to be released in the next two years full touch phones.”

Vice President Hyun Ki-jung’s confident words echoed throughout the hall.

Click. Click.

Camera shutter sounds burst out from everywhere.

Manager Kim Sung-deuk looked around at the people’s reactions and said to Yu-hyun.

“We must have given Ilseong a hard time with this, right?”

“It went well.”

“It did. Imagine if Ilseong had pulled it off and we weren’t ready. Ugh. It’s creepy just thinking about it. Really.”

“...”

Manager Kim Sung-deuk shivered all over.

He thought of Vice Chairman Shin Myung-ho’s personality and it made sense.

Soon, he came back to reality and slowly added.

“Since you’ve caught the vice chairman’s eye, he’ll definitely push for the color phone. If not, we’re all dead.”

“I see.”

“You worked hard too.”

Not at all.

These people, whatever they were, Yu-hyun had something else that was important to him.

He cared more about taking care of his part-timers than beating Ilseong. He opened his mouth with his heart in it.

“The names of the idea proposers are also included, right?”

“Of course. It’s obvious. It’s the prize-winning work of the contest, after all. The names of the other proposers besides Deputy Park Seung-woo will also be included. They’ll also get interviewed within the company.”

“What about here?”

“Here? Hmm... It’s fine. It seems enough. It has impact, too. I’ll check it out.”

Manager Kim Sung-deuk showed his will and Yu-hyun smiled brightly.

“That’s good.”

“That doesn’t look like a happy expression. Shouldn’t you be jumping up and down for this?”

“The vice president is presenting, you know.”

“Kid. Anyway, I’m going to bring you to our division for sure.”

“...”

Yu-hyun, who had been silent, knew why he had called him here.

Why he had made him polish the content that didn’t need to be polished in front of the vice president.

Why he had to boost up another division’s employee like that.

“What? Why aren’t you answering? If you come, I’ll make you grow fast. I have power, you know?”

“I know.”

“Then you’re coming, right?”

He had recognized Yu-hyun’s ability and wanted him.
