Chapter 490:

He waved his hand in resignation, thinking that if he made a fuss, it would reach the ears of Director Song Hyun-seung.

“No, go ahead.”

“But this is my seat.”

“...”

Team Leader Bae Jae-chan, who looked around, hid his boiling anger and turned away.

He was still simple-minded and impatient as ever.

And he was still digging his own grave.

-You take care of the channel project. I’m giving you a favor, so be grateful.

In the past, he had dumped the work on Yoo-hyun, thinking that collaborating with the channel was difficult.

But that project turned out to be a huge success by luck.

Thanks to that, Yoo-hyun not only achieved success as a project leader, but also made a connection with Laura Parker, which allowed him to thrive afterwards.

Whatever the reason, Yoo-hyun was someone he wanted to bow twice to for saving his life.

“Thank you.”

Yoo-hyun sincerely thanked his former boss, who was walking away.

Director Song Hyun-seung was a man who kept his word.

Team Leader Bae Jae-chan, who knew that fact better than anyone, reluctantly moved.

He drove his team members crazy and busily investigated the strike at the Wonju factory.

He even showed his sincerity by going on a business trip himself to create non-existent data.

The situation where he had to work harder to pass on the work lasted for about a week.

He presented the contents that he had personally organized in the office in charge.

“The background of the strike at the Hansung Precision Wonju factory is that the resistance of the employees who were forcibly moved to the Seosan factory is the direct cause...”

Not only the hidden causes, but also the reasons why they had not agreed so far were explained in detail.

Especially, he mentioned why the union had proposed unacceptable conditions for the group, such as a 20 percent increase in basic salary and a 500 percent increase in incentives.

Yoo-hyun nodded his head at the rather specific content.

Director Song Hyun-seung, who showed a similar reaction, asked Yoo-hyun.

“What do you think, Mr. Han?”

“I can see clearly how Hansung Precision’s executives handled the union strike.”

“How so?”

“Especially, I liked the part where he investigated the backgrounds of the key personnel in detail.”

“Hmm, you’re right. I agree with you.”

At the positive answer of Director Song Hyun-seung, Team Leader Bae Jae-chan finally opened his eyes wide.

He tried to wrap up the work quickly.

“Then...”

Then, an unexpected word came out of Yoo-hyun’s mouth.

“But, sir, there is one thing that bothers me.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t know what the group wants in this negotiation. The content is faithful, but it seems like there is no goal.”

“Hmm, a goal.”

Yoo-hyun pretended not to know, but it was not easy to set a target condition.

He had to examine the profits and prospects of the Wonju factory from various angles to come up with a realistic increase plan.

That’s your job.

Team Leader Bae Jae-chan swallowed the words that came up to his throat and forced a smile.

“Haha. Isn’t it better to consider that while negotiating?”

“No, Mr. Han is right. Now that I think about it, we were too lax in dealing with the strike.”

At the words of Director Song Hyun-seung, Team Leader Bae Jae-chan stuttered.

“No, sir, that’s...”

“Team Leader Bae, you did well, but please pay more attention. We need a goal to judge Mr. Han’s success, don’t we?”

“...”

He lost his words, and Yoo-hyun thanked him.

“Thank you for your help.”

“Haha. Mr. Han is too polite. Right, Team Leader Bae?”

“Yes? Oh, yes. Yes, that’s right.”

Director Song Hyun-seung widened his already big eyes and asked, and Team Leader Bae Jae-chan clenched his teeth and nodded.

Yoo-hyun really got a free ride thanks to Team Leader Bae Jae-chan’s desperate effort(?).

He just had to sit still and click the mouse.

He could see the updated content in detail in real time, so there was no need to go out of his way.

Besides, the senior staff of the internal strategy team helped him.

The quality of the data was much better than when he had to instruct Shin Nak-kyun every time.

He felt like honey was coming into his mouth while lying down.

“Life is good.”

Shin Nakgyun, the assistant manager, seemed to have given up and ignited his will.

He looked very blind to anything but success.

‘So that’s your limit.’

Yoo-hyun, who had finished the preliminary investigation, left for his business trip after reporting to his supervisor.

There was some talk in the team because of his long business trip.

“Seriously, who does he think he is, going on a business trip for a month?”

“He must have realized that it’s not easy. That’s why he’s trying to kill time, right?”

“Geez. He’s using his authority to go on a business trip like this.”

“Let him be. If he spends so much time and doesn’t produce any results, he’ll be buried eventually.”

“...”

Park Geundeok, the deputy manager, who was nagging, nudged Shin Nakgyun, the assistant manager, who was silent.

“Hey, don’t you think so too?”

“Huh? Oh, yes.”

“This kid, look at him hesitating. You’re getting influenced by him, being so naive.”

“Shin, the assistant manager, snap out of it. You’ll be screwed too if you keep this up.”

“...”

After Park Geundeok, the deputy manager, Ji Wonho, the deputy manager, also nagged, but Shin Nakgyun, the assistant manager, remained silent.

He had already made up his mind.

Yoo-hyun was not an easy person.

He couldn’t say it out loud, but he felt that Yoo-hyun would succeed.

Not just a mediocre success, but a surprising outcome that would shock everyone.

Did he really get influenced by him?

He shook his head at the absurd thought.

“Hahaha.”

After that, the laughter of the team members who ridiculed Yoo-hyun spread.

Yoo-hyun knew that he couldn’t catch the eye of the management support team with a mediocre success.

That’s why he planned to create a result that would exceed everyone’s expectations.

For that, he needed a thorough preparation, and that was the reason why he stayed in Seoul, not in Wonju, for the first week of his business trip.

Ding.

Yoo-hyun opened the entrance door of Taejong Law Firm, located in Jongno, Seoul.

Following the receptionist, Yoo-hyun was able to meet the man who was his acquaintance in the past after a short wait.

He looked much younger, but his sharp face and expressionless eyes were the same.

Yoo-hyun greeted him, taking in his face that he hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Nice to meet you, Attorney Kwon Chiyeol. I’m Han Yoo-hyun, the one who contacted you.”

“Hmm, you’re younger than I thought.”

“Is that a problem?”

“No. Please have a seat.”

“Thank you.”

Yoo-hyun, who sat on the sofa, handed over the document before Attorney Kwon Chiyeol asked.

This document, which he mentioned on the phone, made the busy Attorney Kwon Chiyeol agree to meet Yoo-hyun.

Attorney Kwon Chiyeol, who picked up the document, silently scanned the content.

Flip.

As the document was turned page by page, the details of Yoo-hyun’s separate investigation on the Wonju factory strike case were revealed.

Yoo-hyun watched Attorney Kwon Chiyeol, who was concentrating, and recalled the memory of meeting him here.

-Do you think I’ll fall for dirty money?

He had a sharp expression on his face, and Attorney Kwon Chiyeol was on the opposite side of Yoo-hyun at the time.

To be exact, he was against Yoo-hyun in every matter, such as the union strike, the mass layoffs, and the demolition of the land around Hansung Tower.

He always stood on the side of the weak, and he was capable enough to face the Hansung Group’s legal team alone.

Yoo-hyun wanted to make him his ally, so he stopped by here.

But in the end, he had to turn back without even getting a cup of tea.

When Yoo-hyun snapped out of his thoughts, it was then.

Thud.

Attorney Kwon Chiyeol, who had checked the last page, put the document on the table with a slightly flushed face.

“This is very interesting.”

“Yes. It’s something that everyone can benefit from, with your help.”

“The employees too?”

“Of course. They will work under much better conditions.”

At Yoo-hyun’s words, Attorney Kwon Chiyeol’s mouth, which had been expressionless, curved up slightly.

And then, for the first time, a friendly word came out of his mouth.
