Chapter 232

If Kim Seondong, the team leader, had not come up with the idea of using OLED factory’s TFT.

If he had not proposed a suitable design method for it.

If he had not derived a revolutionary communication method for the IC.

If he had not thought of the optimal way to implement it.

Then there would be no Applephone 4 panel.

“I sincerely thank you, team leader.”

“Don’t say that.”

“Then don’t treat me so coldly.”

“Haha.”

Kim Seondong laughed and Yoo-hyun smiled.

In the past, thanks to him, Yoo-hyun had benefited from the Applephone 4.

And even now, because of him, he could push the leading product team as much as he wanted.

Kim Seondong was an indispensable person for this company.

A little later, in the conference room on the first floor of Ulsan factory.

There, Yoo-hyun faced Kim Hogul, the senior manager.

Next to him was Kim Seondong, the team leader.

“What’s the matter that you want to see me here?”

Kim Hogul asked with a puzzled expression and Yoo-hyun answered.

“As I said, it’s an important issue.”

“Go ahead.”

With Kim Hogul’s permission, Yoo-hyun calmly began to explain the situation.

“Senior manager, the situation is...”

As if he had been waiting for it, Kim Seondong added.

“Yes. I...”

“...”

Kim Hogul’s face darkened considerably after hearing the explanation.

He thought for a long time and then asked with a complicated expression.

“Are you sure?”

“I checked the equipment history and secured the evidence of the change.”

“Okay. I’ll check that myself.”

“Yes, senior manager.”

“Sigh.”

Kim Hogul sighed deeply at Yoo-hyun’s answer.

Yoo-hyun read from his calm expression that he had already grasped this matter roughly.

But there was a trace of fear in his eyes that made him hesitate.

Yoo-hyun noticed that and spoke in a strong tone.

“You have to make a bold decision.”

“It’s not easy.”

“Why?”

“There are many people involved. Maybe not just me and Kim team leader, but more.”

“Yes. You’re right. It won’t be easy.”

“What about the project? We’re already short of people and dying, do we have to give up?”

Kim Hogul looked at Yoo-hyun without avoiding his eyes and said.

Yoo-hyun understood his concern very well.

No, he knew better than anyone that he was worried about the project.

“Senior manager, may I give you some advice?”

“Go ahead. You’re good at that.”

“You have to step back and take responsibility. That’s what you have to do as a senior manager.”

“At this critical moment, losing two big powers like Hong manager and Yun senior will shake the project. It would be better to finish the job and...”

Kim Hogul leaned back slightly and Yoo-hyun stepped forward aggressively.

“No. That won’t work.”

“Why?”

“If you don’t cut out the rotten part quickly, you’ll have to throw away everything.”

“That’s right. That’s true...”

“Don’t you think of abandoning the team because you’re afraid of that?”

“...”

Kim Hogul was silent.

It was a difficult situation indeed.

If he lost two big powers right away, the project would be in trouble.

But if he left it alone, the rotten part would spread beyond control.

That was the truth that Yoo-hyun had engraved in his body after going through many trials and errors in the past.

-The rotten part rots more. Kim executive director, take responsibility and clean it up. I’ll give you one day.

Just like he had judged coldly back then, he had to do the same this time.

The only thing that changed was that it was Kim Hogul who held the knife instead of Yoo-hyun.

Yoo-hyun looked at him and opened his mouth with sincerity.

“I understand your thoughts well, senior manager. But to make things work, you have to sort this out quickly.”

“And if it doesn’t work?”

“No, it will work.”

“How can you be sure?”

Lee Jin-mok, who came from behind, confirmed that fact.

“They both got kicked out because they were marked.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Vice President Jung was fired because of the Ulsan factory corruption scandal, and Executive Director Ahn was doomed because he was marked by the vice chairman. You know what I mean?”

“Yes. I heard it from my colleagues.”

“Well. You must know.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Yoo-hyun chuckled and asked at the absurd remark.

This time, Maeng Gi-yong came from the left and stuck his head out.

“You wouldn’t know this even if you’re Yoo-hyun.”

“What?”

Yoo-hyun asked and he gave a meaningful smile.

“The new business director. He came from the home appliance division.”

“Yes.”

“The third team is also from the same division. They say they’re pushing for Apple’s side.”

“...”

Yoo-hyun lost his words as he felt something was completely wrong.

Lim Jun-pyo was a leading advocate of isolationism.

Rather, it was a situation where the direction of Apple’s business would change.

Lee Jin-mok, who was listening, asked innocently.

“Oh, then we’ll benefit too?”

“Probably.”

“What about the group leader?”

Yoo-hyun pretended not to know and asked. Maeng Gi-yong whispered in a lower voice.

He looked like he was revealing a great secret.

“Do you know that Yeo Tae-sik came from the IC division?”

“Yes. I heard that.”

“He got promoted from senior manager to executive director in one go. Did you know that?”

Maeng Gi-yong asked proudly.

Yoo-hyun was about to answer when Lee Jin-mok said.

“Oh, really? That’s a two-step promotion if you count the division levels.”

“That’s right. And he’s also close with Go Jun-ho senior manager.”

“Wow. Then he’ll take good care of us.”

“That’s right. He’s supposed to report to him this time anyway. It’ll go well.”

“...”

Yoo-hyun just listened.

He realized exactly how rumors spread.

Maeng Gi-yong, who looked smart in his own way, looked stupid at that moment.

Maeng Gi-yong, who had no idea what Yoo-hyun was thinking, asked him casually.

“Did it help you a bit?”

“It helped me a lot.”

“I’m having a meeting with an IC company this time...”

Yoo-hyun nodded and Maeng Gi-yong subtly revealed his intention.

Then Lee Jin-mok quickly intervened.

“No, Maeng. You can’t do that. Yoo-hyun has to go with me to find parts.”

“Why? You can do that by yourself.”

“He said he’d do it with me. Right?”

Lee Jin-mok appealed to Yoo-hyun in an urgent voice.

Then Yoo-hyun handed him a paper from the bookshelf.

“Yes. I’ll send the test board (PCB) first and then go. The meeting is at 4 o’clock, right?”

“Huh? Oh. Did you check that too?”

“Of course. It’s Maeng’s work.”

“Oh...”

Maeng Gi-yong made a dumbfounded expression again.

At the same time, Lee Jin-mok, who took Yoo-hyun’s paper, also made the same expression and said.

“Yoo-hyun, where did you print this?”

What he had in his hand was a part list for board production.

It was an important item, so Yoo-hyun had printed it in advance.

“It’s what you posted on the site.”

“Did you check that too?”

“Only yours, not anyone else’s.”

“Hmm, hmm.”

Yoo-hyun spoke casually and Lee Jin-mok coughed again.

His face was full of smiles.

Maeng Gi-yong glanced at him.

“Hey, what about mine?”

“Hey, it’s just a figure of speech.”

“...”

Yoo-hyun laughed softly and Maeng Gi-yong turned his head away.

He saw a lot of his new sides today.
