Chapter 270:
Chapter 270
Yoo-hyun asked Kang Jun Ki, who looked incredulous next to him.
“You must have invested a lot of manpower in this mockup, right?”
“The boss told me to do it. What can I do? I’m doing something that doesn’t pay well.”
“Don’t worry. You’ll get a big reward soon.”
“Why? Do you have something up your sleeve?”
Kang Jun Ki asked with a curious look in his eyes, and Yoo-hyun gave him a meaningful smile.
“I do. Just wait a little longer.”
The next day.
Ulsan 3rd Factory, 2nd floor, review room.
The people who saw the mockup there were impressed.
They all said in unison.
“It looks completely different when you see it like this.”
It was only the initial version with just the case attached, but the mockup was so elaborate.
It was different from the crude mockups made by the existing LCD panel companies.
They had made dozens of mockups before.
That’s why they were more shocked.
Go Jun Ho, the executive who touched the mockup, exclaimed.
“This is like a real Apple phone, isn’t it?”
“Yes. The material even looks more luxurious.”
Kim Ho Geol, the senior engineer, agreed and he laughed and praised him.
“Haha. Very good. Did this junior engineer do this?”
“Yes. He worked hard.”
Kim Ho Geol nodded his head again.
Then, Lee Jin Mok, the junior engineer who stepped forward, opened his mouth.
“I didn’t do it alone. I did it with Yoo-hyun.”
“Really?”
“Yes. He paid more attention to the design part.”
Hearing Lee Jin Mok’s words, Go Jun Ho smiled as if he expected it.
He was an employee who had already moved the business director’s heart.
The group leader even gave him special instructions.
There was no room to doubt his background or skills.
Yoo-hyun waved his hand at the look of misunderstanding.
He appreciated their kindness, but he had to separate work and personal matters clearly.
“He did it. I just managed the schedule.”
“I only did the driving.”
“He did the professional consultation.”
“No. You also made the internal image to match the exterior color.”
Go Jun Ho, who was listening to their conversation, widened his eyes.
He heard a word that was unexpected.
“You also worked on the internal image yourself?”
“No, my sister did it.”
“Your sister?”
It wasn’t just Go Jun Ho who was surprised.
The eyes of the people around them were all focused on Yoo-hyun.
It seemed like he needed a long explanation, so Yoo-hyun said in a simple way that they could understand.
“She also worked on the color phone.”
“Really? Where does your sister work?”
“She’s a college student now, and a scholarship student at Hansung Design Center.”
“Oh, then she’s an expert.”
“Not really.”
Yoo-hyun tried to avoid it, but Go Jun Ho shook his head.
He had been doing Apple business for a long time.
He understood the design that Apple required better than anyone else in the development department.
The design in front of him matched that perfectly.
“No way. It looks like you did everything from the icon work to give it an Apple phone feel.”
“That’s true.”
Go Jun Ho pressed the mockup button and flipped through the images as he spoke.
“Not only that, but it seems like you also worked on the demo images yourself.”
“I needed to emphasize the ultra-high resolution.”
“Yeah. Easier said than done. This kind of image work costs a lot of money.”
“I paid her some allowance separately.”
“She worked hard for you. You shouldn’t do that to her.”
Yoo-hyun’s casual answer made Go Jun Ho shake his head firmly.
He then called Kim Ho Geol, the senior engineer.
“Kim team leader.”
“Yes, sir.”
“There are companies that do high-resolution image work, right?”
“Yes. There are.”
“Pay them according to their rates.”Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
“Yes. I’ll check on that.”
Kim Ho Geol answered crisply.
Yoo-hyun read his thoughts in the silence.
Danaka was a person who moved only for profit.
And the source of his profit was trust with his customers.
But his deal was suddenly broken.
In this situation, what was his choice?
There was no other way than cutting off his tail boldly.
And when cutting off his tail, it was an unwritten rule in this industry to cut it off at once.
Yoo-hyun knew it was obvious, so he tried to hang up the phone.
“See you next time.”
-Wait, Steve. Just one question.
“No. You can only ask questions when I allow you.”
Click.
Yoo-hyun left only his words and pressed the end call button.
Of course, he immediately took out the battery.
In the process, Yoo-hyun suddenly felt a déjà vu.
-In the end, Tae Ryong ruined all the deals. I see. I’ll contact you again later.
In the past, when Lee Tae Ryong, his former boss, tried to abandon him.
He also talked to Danaka then.
Of course, the situation was different, but the purpose was the same.
And the result would be the same too.
“Let’s finish this soon.”
Yoo-hyun’s lips curled up slightly.
Of course, he wasn’t going to let Danaka go either.
“I’ll send you straight to hell.”
Lee Tae Ryong’s scenario of going to the edge of the cliff was already set.
The first step was that his mistake was revealed to other Han Kyung Hwe members who were connected with Danaka quickly.
The second step was that Han Kyung Hwe members kicked him out.
In other words, his ending was losing everything by being abandoned by Han Kyung Hwe.
There was almost no chance for him, who was the weakest in Han Kyung Hwe, to survive.
It was like that in the past, and Yoo-hyun thought it would be like that this time too.
And he could see the result as soon as tomorrow.
But then,
An unexpected scenario intervened.
The next morning,
For some reason, Yoo-hyun’s expression was not very bright when he came to work at the company.
Maybe because of that,
Kim Sun Dong, who had worked hard all night, comforted Yoo-hyun instead.
“Yoo-hyun, do you have any worries?”
“No. Oh, here.”
Yoo-hyun took out an energy drink from his bag and handed it to him.
Kim Sun Dong blinked his eyes at that.
“You gave me one last time too.”
“You’re working hard for the demo.”
“I’m not the only one...”
“Thanks to you, everything is going well. You also came up with a lot of patent ideas while you were busy. Everyone is grateful.”
“Th-thank you. I should buy you something...”
Kim Sun Dong nodded his head awkwardly with his unique tone of voice.
Yoo-hyun smiled brightly and replied.
“Buy me a meal next time.”
“Okay. I’ll definitely buy you one.”
Kim Sun Dong showed a determined look and Yoo-hyun gave him a thumbs up.
Things were going well like this.
Thanks to Kim Sun Dong and other staff who did more than their roles,
But why did he feel bitter?
Yoo-hyun was lost in thought as he sat down.
Then,
Buzz buzz.
A buzz spread around the circuit 3 team members.
Soon after,
Lee Jin Mok, who heard the rumor, came to Yoo-hyun and made a fuss.
“Yoo-hyun, big news, big news.”
“What is it?”
“It’s Lee Tae Ryong, the executive. Well, he was assaulted last night...”
“I see.”
Lee Jin Mok, who was babbling, stopped at Yoo-hyun’s perfunctory answer.
He then asked with a puzzled expression.
“Hey, are you close with Lee Tae Ryong?”
“Of course not.”
“Then aren’t you surprised?”
“I’m surprised. And bitter.”
“Bitter? Why?”
“Just because.”
Yoo-hyun couldn’t answer his question.
