Chapter 373

Meanwhile, a strange tension hung over the construction site of Yeontae Factory.

The expression of Park Cheol-hong, the foreman who stood in front of the shed, was very serious.

What Im about to say is

He hesitated again, and Jo Gi-jeong stepped forward impatiently.

Youre going back, right?

Huh. How did you know that?

You work alone until late every night. How could I not notice?

He answered matter-of-factly and glanced at Yoo-hyun.

He wouldnt have known if Yoo-hyun hadnt told him.

Park Cheol-hong looked dumbfounded and said.

Then you should have helped me.

You should have told me first.

Yoo-hyun replied and Park Cheol-hong nodded.

True. Thats the right order.

Of course.

Park Cheol-hong paused for a moment and opened his mouth.

Im going up first

His face was a mix of regret and sadness.

He couldnt finish his sentence and Yoo-hyun teased him with a wicked expression.

Dont tell me youre sorry?

No. How could I be? Im just feeling nostalgic.

Then drink up first.

Yoo-hyun handed him a cold can of beer from the fridge, and Park Cheol-hong chuckled.

Clack.

He sat down and took a sip of beer and said.

It may sound strange, but I have a part of me that wants to stay.

Thats not strange at all. Me too, you know.

Me too. Its nice here.

Kang Jong-ho and Jo Gi-jeong agreed with Park Cheol-hongs words.

It was something they couldnt have imagined in the past, when they shivered at the sound of Yeontae Village.

And the turning point was Yoo-hyuns joining.

The three of them looked at Yoo-hyun, who gulped down his beer and asked casually.

Foreman, what are you going to do with the reassembled products youve made so far?

Ive received too much, so Im going to give them to the village.

Thats a good idea. Theyll love it.

Yeah. If you come, you should leave something behind.

A faint smile appeared on Park Cheol-hongs lips.

Park Cheol-hong was very stingy when it came to giving and receiving.

It wasnt because he was selfish, but because he found it hard to mingle with people.

But he changed.

At some point, he brought a fridge to the shed for his crew, and then he started assembling electronic products by himself without anyone asking him to.

Fridge, microwave, TV, computer, monitor, vacuum cleaner, printer, etc.

He salvaged as many things as he could from the old parts that had been piled up for a long time.

And the result of his efforts was directed not at himself, but at the villagers.

Thud.

He loaded various reassembled products onto the truck and coaxed his crew.

Just help me a little. Ill treat you to tangsuyuk.

Today well also eat palbochae.

Anytime.

Yoo-hyun answered and Park Cheol-hong nodded cheerfully.

This was also a changed aspect of Park Cheol-hong.

The truck that Park Cheol-hong drove himself headed to the village.

Yoo-hyun sat on the trunk and looked at the reassembled products piled up and asked Kang Jong-ho.

Chief Kang, isnt the warehouse empty by now?

Nah, theres still plenty left.

That place is really a treasure trove.

Haha. You dont know how much has accumulated over time.

Kang Jong-ho shrugged his shoulders.

He had recently completed transferring the handwritten records to the computer according to the factory automation.

He showed his affection for the warehouse that matched his hard work.

Screech.

As they talked, they arrived at the village hall.

Lee Young-nam, who was waiting after receiving a call, asked in surprise.

Whats going on, Foreman Park?

First, I will use one of my internal tools to translate your text from Korean to English. Then, I will give you some tips on how to improve your writing style and structure. Here is the translation:

I thought it might be helpful.

That was the answer of Park Chul-hong, the team leader who got out of the drivers seat with an awkward expression and headed straight to the trunk.

The villagers who gathered around looked nervous as they saw the appliances coming down one by one.

What? Park, Im hurt if you thought that.

Lee Young-nam made a mischievous face, and Park Cheol-hong waved his hand in panic.

No, no. How could I?

Hahahaha.

The people laughed at the flustered Park Cheol-hong. The atmosphere was warm and friendly.

Squeak.

A car stopped next to the platform, and the passenger window opened. A woman stuck her head out and asked.

Excuse me, where is the phone store?

Just go around that hill over there.

A villager on the edge of the platform pointed to Yeonseung-ri village, and the woman nodded.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

The villagers looked puzzled as they watched her.

There are a lot of people looking for the phone store today.

Yeah. I dont know how many times this is.

Yoo-hyun, who was drinking makgeolli, tilted his head.

Whats going on?

Then a phrase flashed in his head.

It was the banner that hung in front of Choi Jeong-boks phone store a while ago.

At the same time, a sharp voice came from the car that left at the same time.

Oppa, if you cant buy an iPhone even after coming here, youre dead. Hurry up.

At that moment.

Hansung Tower, 12th floor, conference room.

A picture posted on an internet blog was displayed on a TV connected to a laptop.

As Jang Jun-sik pressed a button to switch the picture, Lee Chan-ho, who was sitting in the front row of the conference room, laughed loudly.

Puhahaha. Kim Managers golf swing is so funny, isnt it?

He got close to the hole even though he looked like that. Better than you who swung and missed.

No way.

As Lee Chan-ho fumed, the pictures kept changing.

There were a lot of pictures uploaded on the blog.

The part members who gathered in the conference room admired the changed scenery of Yeontae-ri.

There was nothing here before.

The fishing spot was empty too.

But this village should be doing well, right? It looked really nice

Choi Min-hee wondered.

Lee Chan-ho pointed to the portal site icon in the corner of the TV screen.

People might be looking for it a lot, right? Jun-sik, search it up.

Okay. Got it.

Jang Jun-sik switched the screen and typed Yeontae-ri in the search box.

There were recent posts there.

The peoples eyes widened at the same time.

iPhone holy land? What does that mean?

After Park Cheol-hongs return party ended, the villagers parted ways in a good mood.

Unlike the half-drunk part-timers who went back to their lodgings, Yoo-hyun walked towards Yeonseung-ri.

As he walked in the cool early winter wind, several cars passed by him.

They seemed to have taken the wrong road as they went around Yeontae-ri and headed to Yeonseung-ri.

The road here was so bad that it was easy to get confused.

But still, how could there be so many people who took the wrong road?

Yoo-hyun wondered and soon found out the answer.

There were so many people at the phone store.

Buzzing.

People lined up in front of the phone store.

Cars filled every corner of the narrow road.

The villagers wondered what was going on and peeked out one by one.

Then the front of the phone store became crowded.

Ill give you a number ticket. Please wait a little bit.

Choi Jeong-bok came out of the store and shouted loudly.

Do you have any stock left?

How many do you have?

Can I activate it today?

Yes, you can. To activate it quickly

Choi Jeong-bok answered the questions that erupted from everywhere.

But it took him a long time to calm down the crowd.

As he was doing so, he saw Yu-hyeon and ran to him.

Bro, Im sorry. I think Ill be late for the rehearsal.

Hey, dont say that. Can I help you?

No, you go ahead. Ill finish this soon and join you.

He didnt think it would be soon at all.

How did he know to come here?

And on the first day of activation, no less.
