Chapter 403:
He was amazed by the taste of the ramen as he took a bite, while Yoo-hyun chuckled.
How can this be? Its the same ramen, but its so delicious.
Try some kimbap too. Its even better if you dip it in the broth.
Thanks to you, I had a very unique experience today.
The part-timer must have had a unique experience too. I bet theyve never seen someone who scrutinizes three newspapers in a comic cafe.
Yoo-hyun pointed out the behavior of Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director, who shrugged and flipped the newspaper.
Haha. But this is more interesting right now. Look at this.
Rustle.
He turned to the page he wanted and pushed the newspaper towards Yoo-hyun.
Yoo-hyun took the newspaper from him as he was chewing on kimbap.
<Hansung Group insider, Shin Kyung-wook, executive director, has no interest in coming to work.>
It was a very trivial article.
It also kindly explained that he had not shown up for work for a day, and his current department was vacant.
Who is this insider?
I dont know. Whether they really exist or not.
The media were so eager to bash Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director, that they even published such articles.
Not only articles, but also editorials had contents about Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director.
<Shin Kyung-wook, executive director, why did he give up his studies in Korea and leave for America early? The problem of escapism in studying abroad as seen through a chaebol anecdote.>
As Yoo-hyun read that part, Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director, said with a nonchalant expression.
I was kicked out by my family. I wanted to stay in Korea as much as possible. It was not long after my mother passed away.
Why are you talking about that while eating ramen broth?
Yoo-hyun asked incredulously, and Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director, put down his bowl and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
So what? Its all in the past. Thanks to that, I learned a lot about the world at a young age.
I guess so.
Yoo-hyun answered and glanced at Shin Kyung-wooks mood.
He seemed to be really enjoying himself, not pretending to be okay.
He definitely felt more bold and light-hearted than before.
Was it because of his visit to Yeontae-ri last time?
Or did Yoo-hyun see a side of him that he didnt know before?
Whatever the reason, it was a positive thing, so Yoo-hyun smiled faintly.
Yoo-hyun chose the comic cafe as a meeting place for a simple reason.
It was more cozy and nice than a cafe or a meeting room.
It was good to talk and have fun in a comfortable atmosphere.
The food menu that could be ordered was also diverse and tasty.
After the food was cleared away, Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director, smiled softly as he drank coffee.
The coffee here is good too. The part-timer must have great skills.
Yeah. You should hire them later.
Haha. Right now Im having trouble recruiting people for my organization.
Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director, shrugged his shoulders, and Yoo-hyun closed the martial arts novel he was reading.
It was an intriguing topic.
How is your new organization going?
I secured an office space and some people joined me.
How do you manage to do that without going to work?
Most of them are people I contacted beforehand, so they can move without me having to go there.
Shin Kyung-wook, the executive director, was secretly creating an organization that could compete with the group strategy office.
This was possible because of Shin Myeonghos vice presidents active support.
Shin Kyung-wook nodded his head and added another word that came to his mind.
Oh, by the way, Park Doo-sik, the deputy manager you introduced me to, agreed to join me too.
Thats good. Did you meet him?
Yeah. He had a strong expression and voice. He had conviction and clear opinions. He had plenty of willpower too. You vouched for him, so Im sure hes competent.
Yes. He will definitely help you.
This part was something Yoo-hyun could confidently answer.
It had already been verified in the past.
What kind of outcome would these two people create in a different environment?
He wondered inwardly when Shin Kyung-wook put down his coffee cup.
Thud.
Kang Dong-sik, who was standing opposite him, sneered at his mouth.
Hmm, this is a bad situation.
Lets help our youngest a little bit.
But why does it have to be me?
Kang Dong-shik complained to Yoo-hyun.
His torn eye, the scar on his face, his mocking smile, and his past in the dark world.
He was older and had lost some hair, but his appearance was enough to give the impression of champion Kim Chun-shik.
Yoo-hyun tried to soften that part as much as possible.
Youre much more handsome, but you have a similar vibe. And your fist is much faster than Kim Chun-shiks.
Of course. If I were younger, Kim Chun-shik would be no match for me. Hahaha.
At Yoo-hyuns words, Kang Dong-shik relaxed his stiff face and laughed.
He had a simple charm.
With that, the scapegoat was ready.
All they needed was an instructor to start the training.
Its about time they came.
When Yoo-hyun turned his head to the shower room, the instructor he was waiting for appeared.
It was Oh Jung-wook, who was drying his hair with a towel.
Why are you holding back someone who wants to go home?
He grumbled with a sour face, and Yoo-hyun raised his hand.
Instructor, please come quickly.
His mouth was full of smiles.
Oh Jung-wook had just surpassed 50 percent win rate in pro matches.
At this point, no one would look for him, but he never had a match that didnt come in.
The reason?
It was because of his provocation skill.
You want me to teach you interview skills?
Yes. It will help Jang-woo.
Oh Jung-wook hummed and looked up and down at Lee Jang-woo.
He had no reason to fight him because he was in a much lower weight class, but he knew Lee Jang-woos skill well.
To be honest, he could bet 500 won that he would lose if they fought regardless of weight class.
But he still lost his appetite.
Tsk. Jang-woo is too weak for that.
Come on, please help. Dong-shik hyung is helping too.
Well, let me see first.
Oh Jung-wook nodded his head with a haughty posture.
His attitude had changed completely from when he was scolded by the manager every time.
Yoo-hyun smiled as he saw Oh Jung-wook, who had the vibe of an instructor.
Now it was Lee Jang-woos turn to move.
Jang-woo, lets do it.
Senior, I cant think of anything.
Lee Jang-woo hesitated as he caught the gaze, and Yoo-hyun hit Kang Dong-shik hard and said firmly.
Jang-woo, hes Kim Chun-shik who only runs away. Make him angry enough to want to rush at you with strong words.
Yoo-hyun, this is not right. Anyone would think Im a scapegoat.
Kang Dong-shik protested, but Yoo-hyun ignored him quickly.
Hyung-nim, you know this is just a joke.
No matter what.
Kang Dong-shik raised his voice, but it was useless.
Yoo-hyun turned his head again and poked Lee Jang-woos pride.
Jang-woo, you can run away if you dont like it.
No. Ill do it.
Lee Jang-woo clenched his fist and glared at Kang Dong-shik.
His eyes were quite fierce.
But his words were not.
Chun-shik, come here. Ill break you right now.
Yawn.
Again.
Kang Dong-shik yawned, and Yoo-hyun shook his head.
