Chapter 336
The root cause of the problem was not Jang Jun-sik’s rigid attitude.
There was a force that deliberately disparaged Jang Jun-sik behind the scenes.
But it was too late to undo the damage.
It was meaningless to clear up the misunderstanding now.
Yoo-hyun suggested a clear plan to Jang Jun-sik, who was still bowing his head.
“Fine. There’s no need to make a scene here. Instead, show them your skills.”
“...”
Jang Jun-sik finally lifted his head.
The senior he wanted to learn from and emulate had extended his hand again for his sake, who was so lacking.
“Jun-sik, you just need to win with your skills.”
“Yes. I understand.”
He felt the will of his senior in his words.
He nodded his head as if he had received an irresistible order.
His eyes sparkled.
A few days later.
A meeting of practitioners from sales, marketing, and product planning teams was held.
The biggest issue of the day was the news of Ilseong Electronics that had come out recently.
<Ilseong Electronics launches the world’s first OLED phone. Who is the winner of LCD vs OLED?>
After Ilseong Electronics launched a phone with an OLED panel, they produced derivative articles every day.
The market naturally focused on the OLED and LCD showdown.
It was an unavoidable issue for Hansung as well.
Therefore, people from each team who were related to this part gathered in the conference room.
It was a large-scale meeting, so the team leaders also attended.
From the product planning team, Deputy Manager Choi Min-hee, Yoo-hyun, and Jang Jun-sik were present.
There was a buzzing sound from here and there, as if they thought Jang Jun-sik didn’t belong there.
Regardless, Jang Jun-sik, who had taken his seat in the conference room early, greeted each senior who came in.
“Hello.”
“Huh. You feel like greeting now?”
Of course, there were also seniors from the marketing team among them.
“I look forward to working with you.”
He didn’t flinch at the sarcastic response and bowed his head.
Choi Min-hee and Yoo-hyun looked at Jang Jun-sik with a calm expression.
The meeting was led by the marketing team, who raised this agenda.
On the screen on the wall were the plans that the marketing team was preparing.
“As a countermeasure against Ilseong’s OLED panel, the marketing team proposes...”
Lee Jong-min, a senior in the marketing team, continued his presentation with evidence.
It aroused people’s curiosity as he mentioned something unexpected.
Questions also came up from here and there.
“So OLED’s blue light is harmful to humans?”
Deputy Manager Sung Woong-jin, the team leader, answered on behalf of the question.
“Yes. This is confirmed by the research results of the chief professor of art therapy.”
Then, people from the sales team praised Deputy Manager Sung Woong-jin.
“Haha. If Deputy Manager Sung says so himself, then the evidence must be accurate.”
“Not bad, right? The marketing team has a good vision.”
“The mobile phone division will also like this content.”
There was no criticism at all.
It was as if they had gathered to compliment the marketing team’s preparation.
Deputy Manager Sung Woong-jin confidently enjoyed his position.
Of course, the three representatives of the product planning team had different thoughts.
Jang Jun-sik, who had been listening, asked Yoo-hyun.
“Senior, isn’t that part wrong?”
“You managed to hold back and not say anything right away.”
“I learned that I have to get permission from my superiors in this situation.”
Yoo-hyun chuckled at Jang Jun-sik’s changed attitude.
Then he looked at Deputy Manager Choi Min-hee.
Deputy Manager Choi Min-hee gestured with her hand.
It meant to do as he pleased.
Yoo-hyun kindly explained to Jang Jun-sik, who didn’t understand.
“The team leader gave you permission. Do it as you think.”
“Yes. I understand.”
Choi Minhee was so humble that Seong Woongjin had nothing to say.
He looked around and smiled bitterly.
“You have to make all the things you said into evidence documents.”
“Yes. Of course. Junsik, you heard that, right? You have to take responsibility for what you said.”
“I understand.”
Jang Junsik nodded his head, and Choi Minhee lightened the mood again.
“Sir, then let’s settle this part for now. Thank you for your consideration.”
“...”
Seong Woongjin had no choice but to swallow his anger at Choi Minhee’s skillful exit strategy.
It would have been weird if he had gotten angry at this point.
Thanks to that, Jang Junsik, who was running like a runaway train, stopped safely without any accident.
If not?
Even if he had said the right thing, he would have been smashed for being rude as an employee.
It may seem strange, but that was also part of the company life.
The leader filled in the gap that Jang Junsik had not realized.
Yoo Hyun gave her a thumbs up from an angle that others couldn’t see.
Choi Minhee’s lips curled up slightly.
After the meeting ended,
Choi Minhee walked with Seong Woongjin to melt his resentment.
Meanwhile, Yoo Hyun came out of the meeting room first.
Jang Junsik followed him with a nervous expression.
He hesitated for a moment and apologized to Yoo Hyun.
“I’m sorry, sir.”
“What are you sorry for?”
“Well, I didn’t know the topic and spoke up at today’s meeting.”
Yoo Hyun stopped and looked at Jang Junsik.
He was shrinking his shoulders as if they didn’t suit him.
“Can you just live quietly in the company?”
“I don’t know.”
Yoo Hyun knew that Jang Junsik was not someone who could do that.
He didn’t want him to give up everything and live by inertia either.
He chuckled and patted his shoulder.
“Just do what you want. As long as you don’t make any big mistakes, your teammates will help you. Just like how the manager bowed her head for you.”
“...”
“That’s what a team is, and that’s what a company is.”
“Team.”
He muttered to himself with a blank expression. Yoo Hyun said to him,
“Yeah. Junsik, you’re not alone. That’s all you need to know.”
“Sir, thank you very much.”
“Thank the manager.”
Thump.
Yoo Hyun tapped Jang Junsik’s shoulder and turned around.
He didn’t move until he heard two steps.
He bowed his head as if he couldn’t control his emotions.
He turned around and said to him.
“Thanks to you, we were able to fix it before it got bigger.”
“...”
“Junsik, you did well.”
“Thank... you. Thank you very much.”
Jang Junsik’s voice echoed loudly.
He wiped his eyes with his white shirt and quickly closed the gap with Yoo Hyun.
The distance between the two became closer than before.
“Get away, man.”
Yoo Hyun tried to push him away, but he stuck closer.
Jang Junsik, who had defeated Seong Woongjin with his own power, took another step forward.
He was not afraid to ask for advice from his teammates to grow.
He learned by listening to his seniors’ words.
He also took the initiative and approached them first.
He still had some clumsy sides, but it was a change that could be called a transformation.
The teammates who were skeptical also accepted him one by one.
That’s how Jang Junsik quickly blended into the team.
