Chapter 519:

Yoo-hyun was the first to get up, shrugging his shoulders.

“Hahaha. You’re a fist and a sleeper, buy me some roasted eggs.”

“Are you buying the banana milk?”

“Shall we go and act like seniors for a while?”

It was the moment when Yoo-hyun grinned.

Park Seung-woo, the manager who was trying to get up while shrugging his shoulders, suddenly sat down with a serious expression.

“Hahaha. I guess... I have to, but you go first. I’ll hold on a bit longer.”

“You came in late too, why are you like that?”

“I’m a man who always comes in late and leaves late. Just go.”

“Okay. Take your time.”

It was the moment when Yoo-hyun, who was tilting his head, went out of the bathhouse.

Manager Park Seung-woo stretched out his body in the water as if nothing had happened.

A moment later, he stuck his head out toward the entrance and muttered quietly before getting up.

“Did he completely leave?”

That small action showed his strong will to never stand next to Yoo-hyun.

Manager Park Seung-woo avoided Yoo-hyun for a completely different reason than Yoo-hyun avoided his gaze.

Yoo-hyun recalled the moment when he felt embarrassed looking at his clenched fist on the sofa after returning home.

“Join forces.”

It was a ridiculous story, but it was true that it helped.

Not only Manager Park Seung-woo, but also the other people who had fiercely discussed all night.

No one complained in front of a difficult task.

Even though it was a situation that might not be understandable, they rather stepped forward and gave Yoo-hyun strength.

With such colleagues behind him, he was confident that he could do well.

Bang.

Yoo-hyun, who got up from his seat, sat in front of the computer instead of lying on the bed.

While the monitor screen was on, Yoo-hyun thought of Shin Kyung-soo’s moves.

Why did he suddenly appear at this point?

It might seem like nothing to show his face in Korea for a while, but no.

He was never the kind of person who would reveal himself in an incomplete state.

He would only appear when everything was ready, walking gracefully on a red carpet.

That meant that this visit was an inevitable choice for him.

A word came to Yoo-hyun’s mind as he thought of Shin Kyung-soo’s recent moves.

Succession of management rights.

Shin Kyung-soo was never the kind of person who would waste time in a fair competition.

He would rather try to snatch the position by cheating than wait for Chairman Shin Hyun-ho’s choice.

There was no reason for him to make a different choice than before, as long as his greed was intact.

Then how would he proceed?

‘He would try to secure the group’s shares.’

It was a predictable fact just by looking at how he kicked out all the people who owned the group’s shares through reform.

Yoo-hyun recalled in order the things that Shin Kyung-soo had done to secure the group’s shares in one go.

First, he came to Korea and established a company that he was the major shareholder of.

Second, he mobilized the Group Strategy Office to sell that company to a group affiliate.

At that time, he used a loophole to inflate the company’s value and secure a large amount of affiliate shares.

Third, he used the political power to make the affiliate and Hansung Life merge.

It was a bonus that he made the merger ratio overwhelmingly favorable to him by using various cheats.

Through this series of processes, he created a situation where he could get Hansung Group without receiving Chairman Shin Hyun-ho’s shares.

The person who led this work at that time was Director Lee Joon-il.

Considering his style, it was obvious that he was doing a similar work under the water.

It would be nice to know this information in detail, but the problem was that the situation was too different from the past.

That is, there was no information on what kind of ‘company’ he made and what kind of ‘affiliate’ he sold it to.

Yoo-hyun decided to go easy after a moment of thought.

“It doesn’t matter what kind of company it is, as long as we prevent them from acquiring it.”

Click.

As Yoo-hyun pressed the mouse button with a smile on his lips, the result of the overnight discussion came to mind.

The sender was Director Lee Joon-il, who was the most difficult opponent and the person who could solve Yoo-hyun’s worries at once.

He had been waiting for him, so Yoo-hyun accepted his offer without hesitation.

Soon, Director Lee Joon-il came to the strategy meeting room himself.

He smiled broadly as he looked at Yoo-hyun.

“Thanks to Manager Han, the banquet ended very well.”

“I didn’t do anything. You did everything, sir.”

“I like this modesty. Well, then let’s settle it.”

“Settle what?”

“Tell me what you want. You obviously don’t want to stay in charge of strategy, right?”

Did he think he would choose human resources?

Even if Yoo-hyun said that, there was nothing he could do there.

Unless he caught Shin Kyung-soo’s eye, he would only do marginal work.

Director Lee Joon-il, who knew this fact better than anyone, was just teasing Yoo-hyun for fun.

“...”

Yoo-hyun pretended to hesitate instead of answering.

He was enjoying the process of guessing.

It was easier to maintain the relationship if he found a reasonable reason himself.

That way, he would feel much less resentment for the betrayal.

Thanks to Yoo-hyun laying the groundwork, Director Lee Joon-il gave the exact answer he expected.

“Are you going back to display?”

“Huh. How did you know?”

Yoo-hyun pretended to be surprised, and Director Lee Joon-il lifted his lips.

“Well, I thought you would get something in return for helping President Lim. He contacted you right after it was over, right?”

“Yes. I got a good offer.”

“He must have given you something like a team leader position.”

Yoo-hyun gave an answer that would fill in the blank data of Director Lee Joon-il.

“Something like that.”

“Well, that’s not a bad choice. But can you really be satisfied in a narrow well?”

He asked sharply, looking at Yoo-hyun.

Director Lee Joon-il was not good at observing like Yoo-hyun, or intuitive like Shin Kyung-soo.

But his ability to analyze vast data and infer conclusions was overwhelming.

This process was constantly happening even in a short conversation.

Yoo-hyun paid special attention to match his style every time he asked a question.

“I can’t be satisfied.”

“Then why are you going?”

“The situation of display is not very optimistic. We need to change to fend off the rising Chinese companies.”

He mentioned the crisis situation of display, which he had talked about with Director Song Hyun-seung before.

Director Lee Joon-il, who seemed to know this part already, chuckled.

“So, you’re going to do that?”

“Yes. I want to contribute to the development of display based on what I learned and saw in the Group Strategy Office.”

“Why do you have to do that?”

“It will boost the morale of the employees if the company grows. This synergy will make the company bigger, and I think it will be a good opportunity for me, who is the starting point.”

This answer was an extension of the content that had offended Shin Kyung-soo’s feelings.

Director Lee Joon-il’s eyes narrowed at Yoo-hyun’s deliberate provocation.

He wiped out his playful expression and said coldly.

“You have a strange belief.”

“A strange belief?”

“Yes. You’re like living in a fairy tale by yourself. But will that work out the way you want?”

“I think it will work if I try.”

The words he said to Shin Kyung-soo when dealing with the strike at the Wonju factory, and the answer he just gave, connected and filled in the data gap of Director Lee Joon-il.

“Effort... I see. You were the type who believed in effort. That’s why you made that decision.”

“What decision are you talking about?”

Director Lee Joon-il, who lifted one corner of his mouth, asked as if testing.
