Chapter 418:

People of the same rank tend to be more jealous and envious than those of higher positions.

Moreover, this time, he had to deal with not just one person, but many.

It was not an easy task.

Did Yoo-hyun have some secret technique to captivate the hearts of many at once?

He surely did not mean to just watch and learn from him.

Deputy Kwon Se-jung decided to attend the meeting with the determination to observe every move of Yoo-hyun.

That afternoon, in the conference room on the 13th floor.

At the place where 17 people from TF, including deputy level and below, gathered, Deputy Kwon Se-jung flashed his will.

As soon as Yoo-hyun arrived, the secret would be revealed.

But.

Yoo-hyun did not show up.

Buzz buzz.

As the start time approached, murmurs and complaints began to erupt.

“Let’s just do it quickly. Don’t waste time gathering here for nothing.”

“He must be busy preparing for the picnic.”

The TV team was bad, but the IT team was no better.

The mobile team members who were hanging out with them felt embarrassed.

Deputy Lee Chan Ho and Deputy Hwang Dong-sik, who were relatively active, could not join in this atmosphere either.

Deputy Na Guk-do, who had just entered the second part, blinked his eyes at the sharp atmosphere.

Then, a man with a fierce expression from the TV team spoke up with a grumble.

“Where is the person in charge? Why did he call us busy people and not show up?”

“He’s on a call. He’ll be here soon.”

Deputy Kwon Se-jung tried to calm him down, but he sneered loudly.

“Maybe he ran away after causing trouble.”

“Haha.”

Laughter erupted here and there.

The negative atmosphere became more serious as Jang Jun-sik clenched his fist.

Seeing that even Jang Jun-sik was about to explode, Deputy Kwon Se-jung had no choice but to stand up.

“I’ll proceed for now. Please enjoy the snacks and listen comfortably.”

“Let’s finish it quickly.”

The man who had complained earlier interrupted again and spoiled the mood.

The already bad atmosphere became worse because of him.

At that moment.

Yoo-hyun was on the phone with his mother.

“Yes, mother. I’m doing well, of course.”

-That’s good. But Jae-hee seems to be having a hard time. He called me, even though he usually doesn’t.

“Did he call you after drinking?”

-Oh, how did you know? Did Jae-hee call you too?

He did come to him.

He only screamed and hung up, though.

“Yes. He did. He complained a bit.”

-He must be struggling with living in a foreign country. He vented everything to me. Something about a vice president or something.

“What did you say to him?”

Yoo-hyun asked, and his mother gave an unexpected answer.

-I told him that I got a call from Chief Jang Hye-min.

“Chief Jang called you too?”

-Yes. She was a very warm person. She seemed to care about Jae-hee too. So I told him to work hard and not disappoint Chief Jang.

What Jae-hee was most afraid of and burdened by was Chief Jang Hye-min.

Somehow Yoo-hyun felt like he knew why Jae-hee screamed yesterday.

“I see. You did well.”

-Yes. He seems to be going through a tough time, so please help him out, Yoo-hyun.

“Of course. I’ll do my best for my only brother.”

Yoo-hyun answered with a guilty feeling.

It was not a lie, of course.

It might be a bit hard, but this opportunity would change Jae-hee’s position greatly.

His mother smiled at Yoo-hyun’s generous answer.

-As expected. There’s no one like my son. I’ll send you more side dishes.

“You’re the best, mother. I love you.”

The best thing to do in this situation was to bring up something ridiculous and make fun of him.

“How about lobster?”

“Puhahaha.”

People laughed everywhere as he had been leading the mood so far.

He shrugged his shoulders and looked at Yoo-hyun.

He thought he would be flustered, but Yoo-hyun asked him seriously instead.

“Where do you get lobster?”

“What’s so hard about that? Just go to Noryangjin and buy some.”

“Great. Then let’s make lobster the main dish.”

“Huh?”

Yu Seok-won’s eyes widened at Yoo-hyun’s absurd answer.

Yoo-hyun didn’t stop there and investigated him further.

“What’s your name?”

“Yu Seok-won. Why do you ask?”

“Oh, you’re Assistant Manager Yu Seok-won. Nice to meet you. You’re in charge of the picnic food. Please prepare lobster according to the number of people.”

“What? The money...”

Yu Seok-won blinked his eyes in disbelief.

“Food is lobster. Now, applause.”

Yoo-hyun raised both hands above his head and clapped loudly.

He didn’t care about money at all.

Clap clap clap clap.

As he clapped, people were swept away by the mood and clapped along reluctantly.

They were all clapping, so even Yu Seok-won, who had a good temper, couldn’t argue back easily.

“What? How can this happen?”

He couldn’t hold back and tried to spit out a curse word, but Yoo-hyun spoke loudly.

“Oh, don’t feel too bad about being in charge.”

“...”

“Everyone here will be in charge. Of course, you can do whatever you want. And the preparation staff are exempt from work.”

That was the beginning.

Before Yu Seok-won could finish his sentence, people raised their hands here and there.

They were not here to work for the company.

They would do it on their own once it became their own business.

Yoo-hyun wanted to teach this simple truth to Kwon Se-jung and Jang Jun-sik.

Whether they noticed Yoo-hyun’s intention or not, Kwon Se-jung rolled his eyes incessantly and looked around.

Jang Jun-sik was making a list of picnic participants without being asked.

As soon as the food staff was filled up, Yoo-hyun switched the topic right away.

“Next is accommodation. Where should we go?”

Now they didn’t have to wait for hands to go up.

Their opinions became reality.

They felt a freedom that was hard to feel in their usual work life. It gave them wings on their backs.

“I hope it’s not too far since we have to come back quickly.”

“How about Gapyeong? It’s close and there seem to be a lot of activities.”

“Yangpyeong is not bad either.”

Yoo-hyun boldly assigned accommodation staff without hesitation.

He didn’t just assign people. He also approved some unusual opinions with applause and support.

“You were a water ski instructor? That’s great. Let’s go water skiing. Now, applause.”

Clap clap clap clap clap.

If it had been normal, they would have been cursed for saying something ridiculous, but they got permission and people became more daring.

Yoo-hyun accepted everything and did it all.

“You have a cocktail license? Okay. Let’s have a cocktail party in the evening. Applause.”

Clap clap clap clap clap.

Of course, he didn’t leave everything to them.

He also included his personal preferences.

“The manager wants to go fishing. Please consider fishing for the activity staff.”

“Yes. I understand.”

Lee Jung-min, an assistant manager of the IT team, who became the activity staff by pushing his water ski instructor experience, nodded.

He just used a common expression, but his face was full of a sense of mission.
