Chapter 343
Team leader Park Chul-hong looked at Yoo-hyun with a dumbfounded expression.
He shook his head as if he had given up.
He had never seen such a scoundrel in his life.
He felt that if he left him alone, he would cause trouble, so he warned him.
“Don’t wander around too far during work hours. Especially, don’t attract the attention of the villagers.”
“Yes. You already told me that.”
“Be more careful. If they don’t like you, they might complain during the inspection. This place is cursed.”
The surprise inspection checked not only the factory management status, but also the work attitude of the employees.
And one of the criteria for assessing the attitude was the interview with the villagers.
They were already unhappy about working in a foreign place, and they had to please the villagers as well.
It was annoying for team leader Park Chul-hong, who had an introverted personality.
But Yoo-hyun understood his situation well enough.
“But they provide us with food and lodging in the village. The food is pretty good, isn’t it?”
“They get paid by the company for that.”
“The villagers are watching us because they don’t want the business to fail.”
“Damn it, whose side are you on?”
“Do I have to take sides? I’m just happy to be quiet.”
Yoo-hyun was satisfied with this quiet moment for contemplation.
He had no intention of causing trouble in this place.
Team leader Park Chul-hong seemed to believe that Yoo-hyun was sincere, and he spilled out what had happened today.
“The village headman is going to summon us soon.”
“Why?”
“He wants to show off in front of the employees. He’s a bit like that.”
“He seemed nice when I met him last time.”
At Yoo-hyun’s question, team leader Park Chul-hong shook his head.
Instead of answering, he left a request for Yoo-hyun.
“Don’t make a mistake in front of him just because he looks nice.”
“Don’t worry. Do you think I would do that?”
“...”
Team leader Park Chul-hong moved his mouth as if to say ‘yes’.
But he didn’t reveal his true feelings, as he still felt uncomfortable with Yoo-hyun.
Yoo-hyun didn’t ask either.
It was better to keep this line of distance.
At the end of the forest behind the factory, there was a place where few people came.
It was not only off the road, but also quite deep inside.
The villagers rarely came to this place where Yoo-hyun was.
To be precise, he was lying on a hammock hung between two trees.
Chirp chirp chirp chirp.
Along with the sound of birds from above the trees, a voice came from the earphones plugged into Yoo-hyun’s ears.
It was his father’s voice, asking about his daughter who had moved out.
-Is Jae-hee doing well in America?
“Why don’t you call her if you’re so worried?”
-No. No news is good news, right?
His father shrank whenever his daughter was mentioned, unlike his usual self.
There was still a lot of distance between them.
Yoo-hyun didn’t press him and just scratched his curiosity.
“I checked on her a while ago, and Jae-hee is now at a design school in America...”
Most of it was what he had heard from team leader Jang Hye-min.
Han Jae-hee was not in a position to talk about her situation right now.
His father asked incredulously after listening for a while.
-Really? How can she do that when she can’t speak English?
“The company assigned her an employee. Don’t worry too much.”
-That’s a relief. Oh, how are you doing there?
His father relieved his worry about his daughter and asked about his son.
It felt more comfortable than bitter.
“I’m fine. I like it here. I’m very satisfied.”
Gulp.
As Kang Jong-ho swallowed his saliva, a young man got out of the driver’s seat.
The people’s eyes widened as if they had made a promise.
The young man who got out of the car was wearing a neat shirt over his jeans.
That was understandable.
What was strange was the band he had around his shoulder.
It had the Hanseong Electronics logo and his name across his body diagonally.
The man with the band greeted them with a smile.
“Hello, everyone.”
Then, two young men in the same outfit got out of the passenger seat.
They immediately went to the back of the truck and pulled off the tarpaulin.
An incomprehensible situation unfolded before their eyes.
Team leader Park Chul-hong stepped forward after a moment of hesitation.
There was anxiety in his eyes.
“Hello. What brings you here?”
“Ah, we are from the social contribution team of Hanseong Electronics...”
The man was about to say when it happened.
Bang.
As the tarpaulin was lifted, the trunk of the truck was revealed.
The sight was unexpected and everyone’s eyes grew bigger.
At the same time, Yoo-hyun snorted.
He saw the banner on top of the trunk.
-Hanseong Electronics Love Food Truck (Supported by LCD Business Division Mobile Group)
“Thank you for your hard work. I’m Kim Ok-kyung, an assistant manager. Hahaha.”
Kim Ok-kyung, an assistant manager from the social contribution team, shook hands with them one by one from left to right and pointed to Yoo-hyun.
“Then this must be today’s star, assistant manager Han Yoo-hyun.”
At his words, everyone’s gaze focused on Yoo-hyun at once.
He lowered his head at the untimely attention and reached out his hand first.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Han Yoo-hyun.”
“Haha. We came all this way thanks to you.”
Kim Ok-kyung joked and Yoo-hyun poked him.
“Don’t you go to other branches once a month?”
Hanseong Electronics did social contribution activities in different regions by visiting their branches.
The love food truck was part of that.
He had seen it in the company newsletter that he had read recently, so he remembered it clearly.
Kim Ok-kyung scratched his nose and said as if he had been caught red-handed.
“Well, it’s true that we came here first because of the support from LCD business division.”
“Did our group leader send you?”
“Oh. He asked me to keep it a secret.”
“It’s not much of a secret when there’s such a big sign of group support.”
“Hahaha. I should have made it smaller.”
Kim Ok-kyung shrugged his shoulders at Yoo-hyun’s words and continued talking with him.
While they were talking, the village headman who had parked his motorcycle next to the truck looked bewildered.
It was understandable because he had never seen such a sight before.
What was that banner on top of the truck?
And it had a big Hanseong Electronics logo on it too.
Below that, there were two men with bands that also had Hanseong Electronics written on them.
They were checking the pots on top of the truck trunk.
There were three pots with signs that said ‘tteokbokki’, ‘fish cake’, and ‘sundae’.
“What’s going on here?”
He mumbled as if he couldn’t understand it at all.
Then he saw team leader Park Chul-hong blinking his eyes in his sight.
He raised his hand and called him out.
“Hey. Team leader Park.”
“Yes, headman.”
“What’s this truck? I thought they were here for the inspection.”
“Well, actually...”
Team leader Park Chul-hong approached him and tried to explain.
