Chapter 501:

It seemed like a good situation, but not for Jang Seok-joon, the union leader.

He was sitting in his office, calling Nam Min-sik, a reporter he had a close relationship with. He expressed his anxious feelings.

“Nam, why aren’t you answering me? I asked you to investigate that bastard’s weakness.”

-You should talk to Director Chu. I’m too busy.

“How do you think I feel? I’m the only one who’s under pressure here.”

-That’s not my problem. If I don’t do what they want, I might be buried in this industry. Will you take responsibility for me?

“No, that’s not what I meant...”

Jang Seok-joon tried to calm down the agitated Nam Min-sik.

Knock knock.

Two cheerful union staff members appeared at the door.

“Leader, we’re going to take pictures of the employees now.”

“We’ll take yours later too. So people can see how amazing you are.”

“...”

Jang Seok-joon lost his words and blinked his eyes at the staff members’ remarks.

One of them smiled brightly and turned around.

“Thank you so much, leader. Fighting.”

Clang.

The door closed, and Jang Seok-joon remained motionless for a while.

With many staff members involved, the visible results of the follow-up measures came out quickly.

He should have been satisfied by now, but Yoo-hyun had no intention of stopping there.

He wanted to expand the scope of his work, so he mobilized the union team through Yun Jun-woo, a video expert.

The result was shown in the C factory conference room on the fourth day of the follow-up measures.

Ahhhhhh.

The conference room, decorated like a resting place, was filled with middle-aged female employees who were chatting.

They all looked tense, as if they were rubbing their cheeks with their palms.

“When we film this time...”

The union staff member who received Yun Jun-woo’s instructions fiddled with the camcorder and raised his hand.

At the signal, the female employees who were sitting started to talk casually, as if they had never been nervous.

“Did you see the expanded lounge in the F factory? There were 10 massage chairs in there.”

“The other factories are amazing too. The sleeping room is basic. Oh, and the cafeteria changed, right? It’s awesome.”

“The food is free, and they added more snacks. If you don’t eat, they’ll give you the snack money back.”

“That’s not all. You can adjust your work hours the next day depending on how much overtime you do. And...”

The other union staff member next to the camcorder flipped the sketchbook and showed the keywords.

Next to him, Yun Jun-woo explained the filming techniques to the union staff member who was handling the camcorder.

Maybe because the other person was a young female employee, his whispering voice sounded very affectionate.

Did he have such a gentle side?

Yoo-hyun chuckled and looked at him, and Yun Jun-woo whispered with a sheepish expression.

“Is there something wrong?”

“No. You’re so nice to the other female employees, but you’re so stiff in front of Hyo-ju.”

“That’s not...”

Yun Jun-woo stuttered with a flushed face.

The filming was over, and there was a clap and a surprised sound.

“Wow. They’re giving us gift cards too?”

“Wow. This much?”

The union team members were doing well on their own, so Yoo-hyun said a word and left first.

“Let’s go do something else.”

“Huh? Yes. I’ll finish the instructions for the other factories and go right away.”

Yun Jun-woo said to the union female employee with a red face.

He was determined to take responsibility until the end, which showed his personality.

The faces of the half-circle workers from six factories were captured on video, and they were played on TVs that were hung all over the factory every day.

Thanks to that, people could see the changes in the factory at a glance.

But the people themselves didn’t change.

To maximize the effect, he needed to overhaul the work that had been done habitually, so Yoo-hyun invited experts.

Kang Jong-ho, a technician from Hansung Electronics Gangwon factory, was one of those experts.

“Of course. I’ve already sorted it out. You’re also good at erasing traces. And digging into my back.”

It was something he could tell without even trying.

Chu Jeong-hwan, who was on Yoo-hyun’s palm, hid his embarrassment and said.

“Don’t misunderstand. I hope there’s nothing to blush about.”

“Me too.”

Yoo-hyun smiled at him.

Of course, he had no intention of letting him go.

The result of Chu Jeong-hwan’s efforts was soon revealed through the Ministry of Employment and Labor’s newsletter.

This spread as an article, and it also improved the image of Hansung Group.

Now other companies were knocking on the door of the Wonju factory to benchmark it.

The person who would mark the peak of this positive situation called him.

It was Kim Yeon-guk, a reporter from Uri Ilbo.

He was in a hurry and asked bluntly.

-Is it true that you’re at the Wonju factory right now?

“Yes. That’s right. How are you?”

-Huh. Did you also coordinate this strike?

“I was lucky. The employees also helped me a lot.”

Yoo-hyun was humble, but Kim Yeon-guk, who had heard the information from Oh Eun-bi, didn’t think so.

He knew well that Yoo-hyun belonged to the group strategy room, and what it meant for the group strategy room to intervene in the subsidiary strike.

This was something that Yoo-hyun deliberately leaked, but Kim Yeon-guk didn’t have time to question it.

He was in charge of the social section, so he had to write a special article on this strike.

His desperation was evident in his voice.

-Do you remember the car center article I wrote last time? Thanks to that, Hyun-soo’s car center is doing really well. I visit there sometimes.

“Haha. Just get to the point.”

-I, I want to write a special article on this, can you help me?

“Sure. It’s a good connection. But I have to go back soon, so you have to come quickly.”

-Gasp. Don’t worry. I’ll jump right up.

Kim Yeon-guk hung up the phone with a spirited voice.

And he really came up to Wonju that evening.

Yoo-hyun, who booked a hotel room for him, had a drink with him at the hotel bar.

“I remember the flying kick picture was so good...”

“Haha. Back then, you...”

They drank a glass of alcohol and reminisced.

Yoo-hyun subtly guided the direction of the article.

“I really liked the car center article you wrote last time. It was very human and nice.”

“I’m thinking of writing a more human article this time.”

“That’s good. Especially, the Wonju factory is where Chairman Shin Hyun-ho’s roots are, so there will be a lot of stories. There are also production workers who worked with him.”

“Oh, that’s nice. It would be plausible to link the history of Hansung Precision and the process of this strike.”

Kim Yeon-guk’s storytelling ability was exceptional.

It was the best decision to bring him into this game.

He showed his unique refreshing laugh and clinked glasses with Yoo-hyun.

“This is a heavy responsibility, isn’t it? I have to work hard for once.”

Clang.

The two people who had the same intention crossed their smiles with the swaying glasses between them.

The next day, Yoo-hyun kept his promise to support Kim Yeon-guk.

First, he assigned Yun Jun-woo and Gong Jin-han, who were in charge of the video, to support him.

He also provided the videos, photos, and records of the changes that had been organized through the union team.

Thanks to that, he got high-quality data that he would have to run around for.

Of course, he had time to spare, and he could focus on the stories of the employees.

He interviewed the old factory workers, and at the end, he also interviewed the heroes of this strike negotiation.

They were Jang Seok-joon, the union leader, Chu Jeong-hwan, the director, Ahn Jun-hong, the factory manager, and Lee Seong-ryeol, the team leader.

They didn’t want to be interviewed at all, but they had no choice because it was Yoo-hyun’s request.

As a result, they had to stick to the interview without even leaving work.
